Chapter 554: The Responsibility of the Sacred Covenant

The situation at the Great Wall was even more serious than Duke Ferdinand had initially anticipated.

The elves are an ancient and proud race - proud not proud - the long cultural heritage and powerful natural power make this race as confident as the Gondor humans of the past, and full of a certain sense of responsibility, since the destruction of the Gondor Empire, the entire continent has collapsed in half, the Silver Empire has become the guardian of the Great Wall and the watchdog of the wasteland, driven by the sense of responsibility of the great powers, they have all fulfilled their duties on the Holy Covenant meticulously for seven hundred years, Duke Peridinand is well aware, If it weren't for the drastic change in the barrier, the proud elves would never have sent messengers to warn the nations - and ask for help.

The Grand Duke paid attention to Rosetta the Great's expression, and from His Majesty's expression, he knew that the other party had confirmed the truth of what the elf said, so he turned his head to look at Shiva: "Your plan is to strengthen the barrier - so how do you strengthen it exactly?" What exactly do you want us to do? ”

"We plan to set up amplification devices near several major Sentinel Towers, we have the technology for them, but we don't have enough people and resources - even if we do, we don't have time to distribute them to the entire Great Wall," said the elven envoy, "The wasteland in the middle of the continent has blocked traffic, and it takes a long detour to get from the Silver Empire to the north of the continent, and we only got here in half a month by giant eagle - but the giant eagle can't be used to transport large quantities of goods." ”

At this time, Rosetta? Augustus finally spoke, "Typhon would be happy to repair the barrier, after all, it is also our lifeblood - but what about other countries? ”

"We have sent messengers to every human kingdom," Khiva said, "the messenger to the Oguray tribal state should have arrived a few days ago, and the messenger to Ansu had departed earlier than we did, and should have arrived now." ”

"The Oguray Clan has been keeping an eye on the Great Wall for years, and they should be quick to respond to your warnings, but Ansu ......," said Rosetta the Great, in a deep voice, "the country is in the midst of a civil strife, and I wonder if they will be able to fulfill their duties under the Holy Covenant." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ We have received news of this," Shiva was silent for a moment, and said with regret, due to the existence of the Great Wall communication network, the elves are still well-informed about the entire continent, and the Ansu Civil War was reported to the Silver Empire half a year ago, "We regret this, the descendants of the former allies should not be opposed to each other...... But in any case, the safety of the magnificent wall is a matter of life and death for civilization, and they should know it...... Now is not the time to continue the civil war. ”

"As you said, the people of the four kingdoms of humanity are all descendants of the Gondor Empire, and the ancient glory of the ancestors should not be overshadowed by prejudice and short-sightedness, and I believe that the glorious blood is still in the veins of the Ansu peopleβ€”as long as they have not completely forgotten all this, they will know what to do," Rosetta? Augustus said with a solemn expression, then stood up, "And as for Typhon...... We will fulfill our duty under the sacred covenant to repair that barrier. ”

The elven envoy stood up and bent down before Rosetta the Great: "You are worthy of the name of Augustus. ”

Rosetta nodded: "Please go and rest first, I want to discuss with my adviser the specific material transfer and personnel arrangement." ”

Several elven envoys left under the guidance of the attendants, and for a moment only Emperor Typhon and Duke Ferdinand were left in the reception room.

The emperor sat back in his chair, his upper body deep in the shadow of the back of the chair: "Pei Di Nanqing, do you think that the situation of the Great Wall has deteriorated to this point?" ”

"Elves don't joke about thisβ€”and with their way of doing things, they wouldn't have come to the human nations for help if the barrier hadn't deteriorated to a certain extent."

"I think so too," Rosetta nodded slightly, "The astrologers have reported anomalous changes in the sun, and the garrisons on the border have also witnessed the movement of the magnificent wall, and the evidence is there, and it cannot be ignored. ”

"Then we are indeed going to ......"

"Fulfill the Holy Covenant, there is no doubt about it," Rosetta said, "I have seen the blueprints brought by the elves, and the restoration work by Typhon will be divided into two parts, one in the southwest, where I will appoint Duke Severn, and the other in the northwest, near Winterwolf, which I will go to myself. ”

Pei Dinan was stunned for a moment, and his face was surprised: "Your Majesty, do you want to go in person?" ”

"That's right," Rosetta nodded slightly, "that tower is where Typhon's ancestors died, so I have to go myself." ”

This is an undissuadable reason.

Seven hundred years ago, when the Four Kingdoms first decided that the human frontier was far less secure than it is now, in order to stop the continuous infiltration of the wasteland, the elves and other countries joined forces to build the current magnificent wall, one of the key nodes is in the northwest frontier of Typhon - the Sentinel Tower on that key node was built for three years, it is the last of all the Sentinel Towers to be completed, and it is also the last step of the entire magnificent wall to close, and for this last step, Typhon has paid the most painful price.

When the sections of the Great Wall were activated one by one, and the Chaos Magic Energy and endless aberrant monsters in the wasteland were blocked on the scorched earth, the Demon Tide Power had the largest counterattack, and the Chaos Magic Energy and Aberrations who had nowhere to go flocked to the last gap in the barrier, and launched a fierce battle with the human and elven coalition forces on the northwest border of Typhon, and the counter-attacking aberrant legion even approached the foot of the Sentinel Tower for a time, and in order to delay the pace of the distortion attack, in order to buy time for the elven technicians to activate the tower, The entire Knights of the Guard, led by Typhon, and even the king himself, died at the foot of the tower.

"Andrisa and her Legion of Winter Wolves will take care of my safety," Rosetta said unhurriedly, looking at the old duke in front of her, "and while I'm away, you'll be in charge of state affairs, Pei Dinan." ”

Facing Emperor Typhon's deep gaze, Ferdinand? Wendell took a deep breath.

"I will live up to your trust, Your Majesty."

Duke Ferdinand left.

Only the ruler of Typhon was left in the room.

Rosetta? Augustus sat in the large chair and stared blankly at the fire in the fireplace not far away, and in the ever-changing light of the flames, two hazy phantoms suddenly rose and fell to the ground along the fire from the hearth, and came to Rosetta step by step.

They condensed into human form, with long blond hair, pointed ears, and identical appearances.

The Twins laughed softly and said to the emperor in front of him, "Look, as we said, there is a problem with that wall, and the Silver Empire can't solve it...... Sure enough, they're coming for you. ”

Rosetta glanced at the elven twins in front of him expressionlessly, "You don't seem to care that you are also from the Silver Empire. ”

The Elven Twins were still smiling: "Our cause goes beyond the concept of a country, and in a way, aren't you the same as us?" ”

"I'm not like you, I trust the power of the country," Rosetta said lightly, "You didn't come just to discuss this with me, did you?" ”

"Of course not," Elf Twins' voices overlapped with a sort of rhythmic version, "we wanted to ask you, you...... Have you given up on Ansu? ”

"Of course not, but it's not the right time to do it," Rosetta said, "and the costs and benefits aren't at the optimal balance...... The blood of the Ansu has not yet been drained......"

The Elven Twins came to Rosetta's side and walked around Emperor Typhon as if they were strolling around, exclaiming in amazement: "Still calm......", "Accurate ......", "Confident...... ......"

In the end, they said in unison: "You are such an incredible person - after facing the truth, you have come to your senses today." ”

Rosetta looked indifferently at the elven twins' impolite, even offensive, gestures, as if he were watching a farce, and finally waved his hand: "Don't waste your time with me unless there's anything more important - there are a group of high-ranking rangers and elven messengers in this palace now, and they won't be merciful to the Vault Dweller." ”

The Elven Twins finally stopped their "chairside stroll", they smiled, faced Rosetta, and walked backwards to the fireplace: "Ah, your threat is really effective, we are happy to cooperate......"

Their figures faded in the air, blending with the firelight behind them, and before they could leave completely, Rosetta spoke, "Don't forget what you're going to do. ”

"Please rest assured, the end of all things is more important than your reputation, Ansu's blood will continue to flow ......" The figure of the elf twins has disappeared, and their voices continue to come from the firelight, more and more distant and ethereal, "We only take what we need, and the rest belongs to you......"

The figure and voice of the elven twins finally disappeared completely, and the faint fluctuations of magic in the room also completely calmed down.

Rosetta? Augustus was alone in the room, and for a long time he whispered to himself, "It must be ...... There is a strong empire ......"

He stood up and walked over to the fireplace, which had lost its magical reaction and had turned into a normal flame, and he gazed at the flickering flames in the hearth, then bent down and placed the next baffle in front of the stove with its sharp spikes.

At the same time, in the city of San Sunil, the capital of the king of Ansu, the gray-brown giant eagle flapped its wings and cut through the sky.

The citizens of St. Sunil were familiar with griffons, as they were the messengers and aerial vehicles most often used by the upper nobility and royal families, but few humans knew about the giant eagles from the south, the huge birds of prey that swept over Iron Cross and Crown Street like dark clouds, and the tail feathers and chest and abdomen of the giant eagles were decorated with green and silver-white ribbons, and they flew straight in the direction of the Silver Fort, attracting the curiosity and attention of countless attackers.

Only the person with the best eyes saw the figure on the back of the giant eagle in that frightening glance.

On the upper terrace of Silver Castle, Victoria? Wilder watched the sky silently, watching as the birds of prey that had flown across most of the continent landed on the griffon platform on the flank of Silver Castle - there were no giant eagle perches here, and the griffon platform could only be vacated for the elven eagles to land, and the white-feathered griffons, who had been temporarily driven to the north tower, were poking their heads out of the windows on the tower and screaming loudly at the gray-brown eagles.

"The Elven Messenger has arrived."

Next to Victoria, Bertwin? Archduke Franklin muttered to himself.

"It seems that the situation at the Great Wall is really not good," Victoria's tone was tinged with a chill, "It's funny that until yesterday the nobles were still in the meeting discussing the conspiracy of the Archduke of the South's warning. ”

On the griffin platform, the elven messengers were jumping off their mounts one by one, and one of them, a female elf with short blond hair, glanced at the griffons who were noisy on the tower with a little dissatisfaction: "The griffons of the north are really ugly. ”

"Griffons have always been the best at cursing," said another messenger helplessly, "and our giant eagles may have taken their nests. ”

The short-haired elf pursed his lips and turned to look at his giant eagle, which also turned his head to look at his master for some unknown reason.

The short-haired elf couldn't help but sigh: "Bai Chang is such a big man, he can't even quarrel." ”

"Goo-goo?"

"I'm telling you, there's definitely something wrong with my eagle, it's really accented ......"
