One Thousand One Twenty One The defeat was the beginning of the flock of birds flapping their wings and the collapse of the empire

Tangus Temple Mountain, the "top of information" of the main plane of the world of Finn has been changed beyond recognition, the original mountain and buildings are not visible, and they are all surrounded by various new towers.

These tall towers, thick and thin, square and round, of different materials and colors, rise from the bottom of the mountain, and are connected to form a Tallinn-like structure by a height of hundreds of meters, like the old capital of the Storm Islands, Silver City, recreated in a new livery.

On the top floor of a tower made of crystal and light steel, Rowanna Behemia paced back and forth in a hall filled with screens and projection tables. The sound of high-heeled shoes stomping on the water-streaked white jade floor was loud and urgent, like the beat of a drum beating on her heart.

A low and gentle male voice sounded in the hall, it was the Taling she had migrated: "Master, no matter whether you win or lose, your safety is no problem." ”

"You said before that the celebration of the flagship fort is no problem", Rowanna's face turned pale, and the lingering palpitations did not disappear: "What is the result? I didn't expect those magic sticks to be ...... It's crazy!"

"Fortunately, Zolde gave me a little warning, and when I asked Simberner, his response was also suspicious, so I ran out, otherwise I would have been killed by the Duke of Soul Refining along with those people!"

"All of them are big shots! There are more than ten legends alone! I'm still an eighth-level legend, they don't care at all!"

"Where did they get their confidence? No...... The one who issued the oracle on it, how dare they do that?"

"I've escaped from the flagship fort, and when that one wins, where else will I flee?"

"No, you keep packing up, I have to go back to ......"

Rowanna shook her head vigorously at this point, and her long wavy hair, which resembled Aurora, fluttered and fluttered, making her slender figure flutter like a willow tree in the wind.

"There's no going back to the Storm Isles, it's already Hathaway's territory. Her identity is also extraordinary, what is the support of Ms. Dark Moon behind her, and she has a lot of trouble on her face, but she is in close collusion behind her back. I ran back, and there was a good chance that she would send it back as a sacrifice. ”

"Hadlang's hometown is not a good choice, the kingdom is gone, and it has become a direct district of the empire. It's not a runaway to go back there, it's still under the nose of that person. ”

Taling faithfully planned for her: "The back road really needs to be considered, why didn't the master choose the side of the Red Union? Although the master has been estranged from that side for a long time, the blood relationship with Miss Aurora is still there, and the old relationship with Li Qi can also be rekindled." ”

Rowanna said irritably: "That's not called running away! that's also delivering meat to the door!"

"When I went to Chilian, my wealth, my industry, and what I have gained after so many years of struggle cannot be saved!"

"I still have a chance, don't I? I just want to avoid the limelight, see the situation clearly, and then make the right decision. ”

"I'm not going to throw in the towel easily, and I won't go to Aurora unless I don't have a choice at the end. ”

Taling continued to comfort her: "Master, don't think about the situation so badly. When you leave the Flagship Fort, they don't stop them, which shows that they don't want to turn against everyone, they just have the idea that one counts. ”

"If that one wins, the Empire is safe, and the Eternal Order is coming, so why do you need to do anything more?"

"If that one is defeated, it will be very difficult for both the Empire and the Holy See of Order. By that time, they won't have time to slap you, so how can they destroy the foundation that provides them with a steady stream of wealth?"

Rowanna sighed lowly: "I do think so, it's just ...... Isn't that wishful thinking?"

"So it depends on the outcome of this war......

Taling actually followed Rowanna's train of thought, and it didn't know how to think itself.

Rowanna nodded secretly, of course it was best if the Goddess of Order won the battle.

As long as he pretends that nothing has happened, it is impossible for the Holy See to continue to commit crimes, on the contrary, it should compensate itself in all aspects.

The Goddess of Order relied on the help of the Goddess of Commerce to maintain the empire, obtaining supplies to fight the Red Alliance and repair Heavenly Mountain. In the eternal order of the future, the goddess of commerce will inevitably occupy a pivotal position.

The magic industry developed by himself and the magicians is the source of commercial faith, and without the magic guide items that have penetrated into all corners of the empire, how many gold bushels can be promoted by relying on the luxury goods that only a few nobles can enjoy in the old days?

Therefore, although the power of the magicians comes from the magic web and the goddess of magic, in the Dawning Empire, the magician and the goddess of commerce are natural allies, and the goddess of commerce must protect magicians like her.

That's right, if you win, you won't be afraid.

But what if you lose?

What Taling said just now made her quite uneasy, if she lost, this Dawning Empire would probably disappear in smoke, and at that time, it was not a question of how the Holy See and the Empire would encircle themselves, but they had to make a choice.

At that time, will it be to the Red Alliance, or the Holy Will Empire?

Rowanna shook her head and shook off her distractions, no, no, no matter how you choose, it will be turbulent and a huge loss.

A crystal ball in the hall suddenly shone brightly, the pacing stopped, and Rowanna said eagerly: "Just connected!"

The stealth ship she sent finally arrived on the battlefield and transmitted the image of the battlefield back.

Several screens lit up at the same time, looking at the golden light that filled each screen, Rowanna was stunned for a moment, and exclaimed in surprise: "That's the body of the gods! Her Majesty the goddess has taken action herself!"

In the flickering light and shadow, Rowanna's smile gradually bloomed like a flower.

Recalling that when Li Qi was still in a relationship with her, when he said that she was a "magic capitalist", his tone was quite sarcastic, and Rowanna's smile was also full of sarcasm.

I already knew, I knew your path was a dead end. No matter how powerful you make mortals, mortals are mortals after all, and it is impossible to compete with the gods.

Even if you have the support of the gods, when the war blurs the line between man and god, and forces the gods to act against mortals, the power you manage will also fall apart.

"Richie Prell, what's wrong with the magical capitalists?"

"No matter how much you despise me, I'm on the side of the victor after all!"

"After this, it's my turn to despise you and save you and Aurora like a reservoir dog. ”

The flower of the smile bloomed to its peak, and the silver and white light on the screen shone brightly, pressing the golden light to dim and fade.

Rowanna's smile froze, then faded.

"No ——!"

In the corner of the temple mountain, the top floor of the tallest crystal tower exploded, and the shock wave spread out in mid-air, scattering countless crystal fragments, mixed with shouts full of reluctance and fear.

..................

To the northwest of the Norton Governorate, a number of simple magic towers make up the new city, and unlike the old ones, these towers are trapezoidal, and the tops are suddenly widened, and the flying ships are constantly rising and falling.

Hundreds of mid-level magicians have built towers and workshops here, and they have come together to form a new city. Because most of the workshops are making flying boats, the city is called Flying Boat City.

In the center of Flying Boat City, on the ground floor of Tallinn, which resembles the Supreme Council Hall of Silver City in the Storm Islands, thousands of magicians gathered in the hall, discussing and indignant at the same time.

On the information table in the center of the hall, the three-dimensional image of the golden giant hand from the sky shocked everyone, and the boiling resentment that was about to "follow me" suddenly dissipated.

"The Goddess of Order casts the ontological ......"

"This is the first time a god has done anything directly to a mortal, right?"

"We're still lucky......"

"Anyway, the war is finally over. ”

In the midst of the buzz, Zelder patted a young man beside him on the shoulder forcefully, and said in a complicated tone: "Little Basrayan, don't be sad, your father's sacrifice is worth it. ”

Then he shook his head guiltily: "It's me who is not good, I didn't bring him out." When I felt something, I couldn't find him anymore. ”

The son of the old Baslayan was grateful: "Your Excellency, Marquis, you don't have to blame yourself, it is already a great blessing in misfortune that you can leave safely." If we want to lose you again, we really don't know what to do. ”

This answer pleased Zold, who had been awakened by Hathaway the previous night, and ran away in a hurry, not only without informing Mosmut, but also with a few men who accompanied him to the Flagship Fort, including his most capable helper, the respected old Baslayan in the Santarin.

He was not too frightened to forget, but thoughtful.

If Hathaway's warning is true, and he is making a big deal of it by pulling people around, it will greatly offend the Holy See, and even if he escapes, there will be no good fruit to eat later.

On the other hand, Hathaway's warnings, as well as Erdeshiros's hints, may not be true. What if you misunderstand? Not only will you offend people, but you will also miss out on the good things you prescribed.

Let Baslayan stay with those guys and it would be the best of both worlds, if nothing happens, and the emperor comes as promised, and the Flagship Fort party is a real celebration, then let Baslayan explain it and rush back again.

This arrangement was very thoughtful, and the result was not surprising, and he escaped by luck.

Naturally, I can't tell little Baslayan about these thoughts, but as soon as I come back, I urgently summoned everyone and pushed little Baslayan to the top of the Santalin Society, which is worthy of him.

Looking at the giant golden hand in the projection, Zolde sighed secretly.

The ship on Richie's side is afraid that it is going to sink, and now he can only move between the two ships of the Dawning Empire and Hathaway, and the space for flexible conversion is much smaller.

"It shouldn't be......"

He muttered like this, there are also several gods on Richie's side, and more importantly, the reincarnation of Her Majesty Theresia is also there, how could he fail so easily?

In his imagination, it is still impossible for the two sides to decide the winner, and he himself actually hopes that the Heart of the Silver Moon can ascend to the level of the Kingdom of God, so that the Red Federation can gain another powerful fulcrum. In this way, although the goddess of order still occupies a dominant position in the world of Fein, she cannot completely eliminate the Red Alliance.

Of course, it is impossible for the Red Federation to let their Crimson Lady take the place of the Goddess of Order after this war, they do not have that kind of foundation. Then the situation will return to the aftermath of the war four years ago, when both sides died down, acknowledged the status quo, and coexisted in the struggle.

Only such a situation is the most favorable situation for him Zold-Mildern, and the benefits can be maximized when the three boats switch back and forth.

Looking at the scattered Red Union warships and warplanes under the golden giant, Zolde said in his heart that this is the arrangement of a higher level of will in the dark.

Who let the Red Alliance be so light on the enemy, and the main fleet is not near the Heart of the Silver Moon?

Who would have the Goddess of Order be willing to spend such a large amount of money to refine the soul of hundreds of high-level transcendentals, including more than a dozen legends, and teleport the Flagship Fort to the vicinity of the Heart of the Silver Moon?

The Red Union put up a heroic resistance, and they almost turned the tables around.

But after the goddess of order did not hesitate to use the souls of the believers of the order on the spot to open the barrier, and after throwing herself into the body, all resistance was meaningless.

"Richie, let's ......"

Zord's heart flowed with a thought of compassion, a deep sense of remembrance, and then an endless longing for the future.

The magicians in the hall had different thoughts in the first half, but the second half was the same, they were all relieved and full of longing.

Previously, they were angry that the Duke of Soul Alchemy did not take the mage seriously, and killed hundreds of members of the Scattered Tallinn Society, including Baslayan, so they shared the same hatred.

Now it's different, the goddess of order wins, the Dawning Empire is eternal, and it's time for them to look to the future.

In the past few years, these small and medium-sized magic guide workshops have sweated and shed blood for the empire, aren't they just fighting for a brighter future?

Even now, the Demon Warriors they trained or hired are still piloting the battle flying boats they built out of their own pockets, fighting against the Red Alliance's fighters in the skies above the Weeping Sand Sea, Red Stone, and Fleet City.

Little Baslayan said loudly, expressing his positive proposition after taking over: "It seems that our flying boats of the Scattered Tallinn Society can be bought and sold freely, and fly freely in the skies of the Empire. ”

There was a cheer in the hall, the sacrifice of old Baslayan and his men, the efforts of the Santarin, must be rewarded, this is a must, and a minimum.

Zelder went on to say with a sound amplification spell: "Not only the sky of the Empire, but also the sky of the main plane, it should be free! Not only the sky, but all the causes that can benefit mortals with magic should be free for us in the Santarin Society!"

The applause was more enthusiastic, and there was a wave of applause.

Zelder grabbed little Basrayan's hand and raised it aloft in the air, nodding to the members, this moment should be a milestone for the Santarin, which will move from a loose fraternity to a more powerful group that represents all the magicians who are integrated into the Empire, and even all those who are willing to benefit from the cause of magic.

Zold and little Baslayan were responding to the crowd as they swirled, and the noise in the hall suddenly stopped, and everyone seemed to have been immobilized, and even their expressions froze.

Sensing a change in the light and shadow in the hall, Zolde froze.

He turned his head to see that the three-dimensional image on the information table had changed, and the silver and dark gold light shone brightly, suppressing the previous bright golden brilliance. The great goddess rose from the heart of the silver moon and grabbed the fortress like an apple, and should poke down the golden hand of the goddess of order.

The golden hand shattered, and the proclamation of the goddess of order smashed everyone's hearts like a morning star, making the faces of thousands of people in the hall pale, and the brave little Baslayan pulled out his hand to find something to support, so as to avoid falling to the ground.

Only Zelder still stood upright, his expression changed for a long time, and then a dry scream came out of his throat: "We must unite and ask the Holy See for blood debt!"

..................

In the Storm Islands, in the heart of Silver City, in the secret room at the top of the Liberty Academy of Magic, Hathaway and Ranna's expressions changed with the change of images in the light curtain, and when the bright gold dissipated, and the light curtain was filled with silver and dark gold brilliance, their faces became as gloomy as those of the dead.

"The Goddess of Order Actually Failed......"

"Even the main body was thrown into the main plane, and it actually failed......"

"It's unbelievable, how did the world of Fein come to be like this?"

Hathaway came back to her senses and bit her nails uneasily.

Ran Na exclaimed: "I just said, Xiaohong really brings hope to this world!"

"Under her nonsense, Xiaoyin was actually reborn in another identity!"

"Red Lian now has the godhead of Xiaoyin, and with the goddess of Styx, the crimson god system has taken shape. ”

"Oh, what else is there, and what is the Lord of Ten Thousand Flowers, Cheyenne, there are already five gods. ”

"If it weren't for us, Xiaohong would really have succeeded!"

"This is a great opportunity!"

Hathaway was silent for a while, and then nodded slowly: "It's indeed a good opportunity." ”

"The Goddess of Order has no way to suppress the Crimson Divine System in the Divine Realm Plane now, nor can she contain the Red Alliance in the Main Plane, her only choice is to repair the Heavenly Mountain as soon as possible. ”

"If we ......"

She looked at Rana and smiled, "Looks like you're going to have to change your name back to Lady Liberty." ”

Rana shook her head: "No, no, Hathaway, you don't have a strong enough view of the big picture." ”

"The good chance I'm talking about is that since the Goddess of Order is left with the only thing left to repair Heavenly Mountain, we should continue to help her. ”

"Now the conflict between us and Xiaohong is even bigger than before. ”

"Are we going to sit back and watch Red take control of Finn's world, and when will our freedom be realized?"

"Instead, we help the Goddess of Order repair the Heavenly Mountain as soon as possible, and our share in the future eternal order will be very important. ”

"When the eternal order is established, the will of the world will be on our side. Together with the goddess of order and the goddess of commerce, we will completely defeat Xiaohong's side, and then ......"

Ran Na curled the corners of her mouth and couldn't hide her excitement and said, "Wouldn't it be easier to kill the already weakened goddess of order again?"

Hathaway was stunned: "Didn't you just say that Xiaohong might succeed, are you still happy for her?"

Ran Na spread her hands: "That's what I will belong to Xiao Hei...... Ahem, the part of the lady of the night is just happy, the part that belongs to me, but I have to stretch my own way. ”

"It's true that Xiaohong can succeed, but even if she saves the world of Fein, what does it have to do with me?

"We don't need to hide between us, Hathaway, don't you think the same thing as me?"

Hathaway sighed, indeed.

"But I'm still sad in my heart, and there's already a shadow. ”

Hathaway said unwillingly: "We have made so many efforts, spent so much money, you have personally taken risks, and the result is still like this." Even if the Eternal Order comes, do you dare to guarantee that we will be able to kill Xiaohong and Li Qi?"

Ran Na raised her pointed chin and said disdainfully: "You are not a god, you don't understand at all how much the existence of Heavenly Mountain has an impact on the whole world. ”

"I can say that once Heavenly Mountain is repaired, the power and things that Xiaohong used to bewitch mortals will be greatly reduced or even become a bubble. ”

Hathaway was still not sure, and when she looked at the light curtain, the breach in the sky had disappeared, and the remaining warships of the Imperial fleet were crashing like headless flies, and the fortress of the Red Union had returned to its original position, organizing more intense artillery fire to sweep away those warships, and she let out a deep sigh.

"At this time, I can only believe in you. ”
