Chapter 684: Intelligence in the Mist

In the brightly lit study, the ruler of Typhon's empire and the uninvited guest of the night confronted each other in silence.

In the past hour, Rosetta? Augustus knew the limits of mortal ambition for the boldest, most secretive, and most crazy plan in the world, and the emperor was speechless for a long time.

"In the face of a millennial plan, any temporary failures and setbacks are insignificant, and this must not be difficult to understand from your eyes," Filna Relna's voice finally broke the silence, "Your Majesty, do you have any doubts about the authenticity of the 'Disobedience Plan'?" ”

"Before discussing whether it's true or not, I'm more curious about why you're coming to me," Rosetta stared at the Elf Twins in front of her, "Eager to find a new investment target?" ”

"Shall we go to that Gawain? Cecil? Raina laughed, "There aren't many visionary leaders, except for Gawain?" Outside of Cecil, you are the only suitable choice. ”

Filna followed up and spoke, "Rosetta? Your Majesty Augustus, the heir of the Augustan bloodline, this is not the first time we have come into contact with us, and we know what kind of crazy shadows you and your family are facing......"

Relna took a half step forward: "The collapse of the old imperial capital two hundred years ago made your ancestors witness things that mortals should not be looking at, and those twisted and crazy knowledge soaked the blood of the Augustan family, but you also spied some truths about this world......"

Filna followed in Relna's footsteps: "So, you only have to think a little to realize that what we say is true, and at the same time realize that we should be natural allies. ”

The Elven Twins stopped at Rosetta the Great's desk, smiled in unison as if mirrored, and said in unison, "You need to fight the madness brought about by the gods, we need new allies, and we need each other." ”

Rosetta looked at the twins and raised her hand slightly: "Stand back." ”

The Elven Twins immediately retreated to their original position: "As you wish." ”

"According to you, the Disobedience Plan is a secret plan of the Gondor Empire, which is directly controlled by its royal family, so how did you two elves get involved with this plan?" Rosetta's face sank, as if he was not moved by the persuasion of these two elves, but still with full vigilance and doubt.

"The Disobedience Project is indeed the legacy of the Human Empire, but humans are not the only ones involved in this project - a considerable number of its projects require druidic knowledge, and the Silver Elves are the source of most of the druids," Raina replied calmly, "We were scholars who secretly accepted the Gondor's Empire, and worked for it a thousand years ago, and the Demon Tide seven hundred years ago interrupted our work, and we had to return to the Silver Empire temporarily, and it was the birth of the Society of the End of All Things that made us realize that this cause is not over- We returned to our mission to this day. ”

"As elves of the Silver Empire, you work for Gondor without telling your home country the secrets of your plans for disobedience?"

“…… Elves aren't a good candidate for mass contact disobedience schemes, and we have our own reasons. ”

Rosetta stared at the elven twins in front of him, and after half a minute of staring, he withdrew his gaze slightly: "The birth of the Society of the End of All Things...... Seven hundred years ago, what did the leaders of the three dark sects see on the Ancestral Peak? ”

Filna and Rayna glanced at each other before speaking at the same time: "If what your ancestors saw in the collapse of the old imperial capital was a fragment of a puzzle, what the leaders of the three sects saw in the peak of the ancestors was the entire puzzle.

"They arrived in the kingdom of God and saw the birth and destruction of the gods—and the nature of the gods and the end that was destined to come.

"A thousand years ago, the Gondor scholars believed that the gods were approaching madness and would eventually destroy the mortal world through madness, but they were actually wrong about one thing - the gods were not approaching madness.

"As early as the moment mortals began to think, the gods had gone mad."

Rosetta didn't speak for a moment, but thought for a moment, then he shook his head: "I've heard enough of these vague ancient fables, let's talk about something practical - what really happened on the plain of the Holy Spirit?" What will all things do when they die, and what will the Cecilians do? ”

"We left Ansu before Armageddon, so I'm afraid we can't give you too much information, but there are some things we know—" replied the Elven Twins, "The end of all things will create an artificial god, but this artificial god has been in madness since its birth, and the Cecilians ...... They destroyed this artificial god in the White Sand Hills area. ”

Rosetta's eyes instantly became sharp and deep, and after a short silence, he slowly asked, "An artificial god?" How strong is it? What does Cecil have to do to destroy one such artificial god? How much did it cost them? ”

"Artificial gods are fakes, but their power is still greater than any earthly creature you know, and as for the Cecil...... They seem to have allies to help, it's just that we don't know who their allies are yet. ”

After a brief thought, Rosetta nodded, leaned back into her chair, and said in a nonchalant voice, "I see—this conversation is over." ”

This time, the elf twins, who had always maintained a confident expression, finally couldn't help but show a stunned look: "You don't plan to accept our cooperation? ”

"Did I say I was going to accept it?" Rosetta glanced at the two elves with a smirk, "I admit that your words are indeed very demagogic, but there is one thing you got wrong-"

The elven twins glanced at each other and said in unison, "Which thing?" ”

"I'm not going to talk to the cultists about cooperating—you're not qualified yet."

"Then you ...... before"

"That's just utilization," Rosetta raised her right hand slightly, "Now, it's also utilization." ”

The Elven Twins finally sensed the powerful magic that the ruler of Typhon had secretly accumulated, and their faces changed instantly, and countless poisonous vines came out of thin air from between the floor and the wall, stabbing at Rosetta the Great behind the desk like sharp arrows, while they themselves were shrouded in green light at the same time, and instantly transformed into small nightingales in the light curtain, rushing straight to the nearby window—

A series of explosions suddenly exploded in the study, and countless sinuous and split lightning rays spread around Rosetta, burning those poisonous vines to ashes in an instant, and then he waved his hand at the two nightingales, and the arcane barriers condensed like crystal barriers, blocking the elven twins' escape path.

The two nightingales let out a pleasant but chilling chirp at the same time, invisible ripples rippled in the air, blocking the closing of the arcane barrier, and the magic stirred up layers of sparks, jumping around in this study, sparks splashed everywhere, a slender black shadow passed through the gap between the arcane barriers, and disappeared into the busy night outside the window in an instant, while the other shadow was captured by the magic cage formed by the arcane barrier, rushed left and right, and fell to the ground.

Rosetta? Augustus then stood up from behind his desk, his side filled with a leaping arc of arcane electricity, and his footsteps stepped over the floor of the study, which was still smoking, and he came to the nightingale that had fallen to the ground, and looked down at the latter with a blank face: "It's good to catch one......"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the nightingale suddenly twisted and trembled, and then was quickly engulfed by a halo of light, turning into a shimmering particle that drifted with the wind, and completely disappeared in front of Rosetta's eyes in a matter of seconds.

Rosetta watched the scene silently, until the nightingale's residual magical reaction was completely gone, and he whispered to himself with a hint of thought: "The so-called 'twins'...... Is it just one person...... It's kind of interesting. ”

A slightly messy footsteps came from the corridor, the door of the study was pushed open from the outside, several palace guards and a court mage wearing purple starry robes appeared in front of Rosetta, these belated guards saw the messy scene in the study, and the expression on their faces became extraordinarily exciting, and the court mage led by him only sorted out his words after a moment of hesitation, and plucked up the courage to ask: "Your Majesty, ...... here?"

"There's a visitor who comes late at night, but it's a pity she doesn't want to stay longer," Rosetta waved her hand, signaling the guards not to be nervous, "clean up, it's all a small thing." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Rosetta? Augustus nodded slightly, and then his gaze swept over the nearby bookshelves and walls, landing on the map not far away.

He looked at the border between Typhon and the "Kingdom of Ansu".

Ansu's royal power has ended, and it's time for this map to be changed.

……

Typhon's borders, inside Winterwolf's Castle, Andresa? Wendell was pulling his gaze away from the battle map.

The Wind Fortress and the Winterwolf Castle are far away, separated only by a plain, the "peace agreement" between the two countries is still in effect, and the Mithril copy of the agreement is still stored in the Treaty Fort in the center of the plain, but a tense atmosphere is brewing in this confrontation area.

The Fortress of the Wind is increasing its troops, the Winterwolf Castle is also increasing its troops, the border troops of both sides have almost doubled in just one month, their respective reconnaissance units are interspersed between the control zone and the buffer zone, and all kinds of intelligence officers are trying to infiltrate the towns and villages near the border, no one is picking up the situation, but everyone is silently doing the same thing - a kind of ironic "tacit understanding" is established between the two sides of the confrontation, and it is more ironic than this "tacit understanding of war", Trade across borders continues as usual, and has even recently expanded.

Andesa is a general, but not a brave general, she can see a lot of information from the trade orders that circulate in the checkpoints under her control, and the expansion of the size of the orders and the activity of merchants means two things: first, Ansu's vitality has not been greatly damaged in the previous war, they are still able to buy and digest a large amount of supplies, and second, the Cecil family has completed the control of the eastern region, so the merchants carrying the Cecil emblem will appear in large numbers in the eastern border and Typhon's checkpoints.

The young wolf general couldn't help but pinch her eyebrows, relieving the pressure on her mind, and the knock on the door sounded from outside the door at the right time, interrupting her thoughts.

"Come in."

The door opened, and a young knight stepped into the room.

"General, there is new information," the young knight came to Andesa and reported crisply after saluting, "another force of about two thousand men has entered the fortress of the Long Wind from the northwest, and this team is hanging the insignia of the Mountain Legion, but the leading general is unknown, and it is not someone we are familiar with. ”

"Two thousand more...... Andesa frowned, "...... Didn't their mountain corps suffer heavy damage, where did they find so many reinforcements......

The knight adjutant had been following Andesa for many years, and was himself an experienced officer, so he expressed his conjecture at this moment: "Maybe it's just a private soldier in the north under the banner of the Mountain Legion, and the Ansu are bluffing." ”

"Use private soldiers with inferior combat effectiveness to disguise themselves as ace soldiers...... Maybe there is this possibility, but it doesn't matter, even if they pull those private soldiers up to serve as a façade, the number is limited after all, and there should be no more of their supplementary soldiers," Andesa shook her head, "It's just that His Majesty's order is not to take the initiative to attack before finding out the truth and truth, in case we fall into the trap, we still have to wait until we understand the specific military strength of the Changfeng Fortress before we can act." ”

The knight adjutant looked at his superior, and after hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but speak: "General, do you think we can't fight this year?" ”

Andesa glanced at the young man: "Do you want to fight?" ”

"Of course," the young knight immediately held his head high, "it is the duty of knights to fight for glory on the battlefield - not to mention that we are still the Winter Wolf Legion. ”

Looking at this enthusiastic subordinate, Andesa couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

With the deepening of His Majesty's New Deal, a large number of small nobles in the empire were affected by the New Deal, and the traditional aristocratic life of relying on land and worship became unsustainable, and these small families set their sights on military exploits - making achievements on the battlefield is the best way to maintain the family and harvest wealth under today's imperial policy, so there are a large number of small nobles from low background like the young knight in front of them to join the army.

Of course, now the empire is emerging in the magic industry, which is also a way for small and medium-sized nobles to have the opportunity to return to glory, but investing in emerging industries requires not only courage and vision, but also basic financial resources and connections, and this road is not suitable for everyone.

"I want to too," Andesa gathered her thoughts and exhaled softly, but her father's face flashed in her mind, "Don't worry, this battle will be fought after all." ”
