Phoenix, Governor's Office.

Lin Jue sat calmly behind his desk, and across from him, sat a dwarf.

Dwarves are short, but they are very burly. With such a burly figure, I am afraid that only Werther, who has had a relationship with Lin Jue, can compare with it.

He was covered in silver armor, and underneath the armor was a snow-white garment, a color that blended perfectly with the color of the snowfield, and was the best protective color in the snowfield.

He is the head of the Snow Wolf Knights of the Ice Plains Kingdom, Storm.

Today, he sits here as an envoy of the Icefields Kingdom.

Due to his short stature, his chair was made improvised and very tall to prevent awkwardness during communication, which would prevent him from sitting across from him and only showing his head.

In the entire governor's office, except for the two of them, and Lin Yue stood aside, almost none of the dwarves on this continent could speak Chinese, and most of them could only speak Brandon. This time the two communicated, and Lin Yue also needed to translate for it.

"Mr. Storm, please tell us the purpose of your trip. Lin Jue asked directly.

Storm's expression was a little relaxed, he didn't seem to expect that humans, who originally seemed to be a little roundabout, and even very similar to the annoying elves, would be so direct.

"First of all, on behalf of the King of the Icefields Kingdom, Andrew IV, I would like to express my gratitude to His Excellency the Governor. ”

"Miss Phenice has told the king what has happened, and thanks you for saving our foolish warrior and noble elven messenger. ”

Lin Jue couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard the words translated by Lin Yue. If it weren't for the other party's expression still relaxed, Lin Jue even suspected that saving the hammer seemed to be a wrong decision.

Lin Jue spread his hands with a smile and said, "Saving the dead and helping the wounded, this is what we should do, not to mention that you have also solved the urgent need for our Phoenix City." So, Your Excellency, please explain the purpose of this trip directly, I believe that Your Excellency prefers to go straight to the point rather than all this red tape, right?"

Storm laughed, "It seems that His Excellency the Governor is also a rough man, oh, sorry, I forgot that this word is a bit inappropriate to describe humans. ”

Lin Jue still kept smiling, but this smile was a bit far-fetched, obviously a little unhappy with the word 'rough man'.

"All in all, I'm here to convey friendship to my king, and by the way, I want to form a military alliance with humans. ”

"Alliance?" Lin Jue raised his eyebrows slightly, puzzled.

Storm nodded and said, "Maybe Your Excellency the Governor is more curious about the purpose of the elven messenger we escorted, but unfortunately, I didn't know that she had amnesia until yesterday, which is simply incredible." ”

"As for the purpose of her coming to the Icefield Kingdom, I can also tell you that she is the messenger who conveys the will of alliance to the Icefield Kingdom on behalf of the Elven Kingdom. ”

"The Icefield Kingdom has agreed to the Elven Kingdom's request for an alliance, and has sent a team of Snow Wolf Knights to escort them. As a result, alas, I didn't expect such a thing to happen. ”

"The very difficult thing to do right now is that we are unable to send our will to the Elven Kingdom due to the emissary being kept out of the Southern Forest. ”

"This is the second purpose of my trip, I hope that with the help of human hands and human supplies, we will go to the elven kingdom together, open the channel of the message, and pass on the news, and the humans, dwarves, and elves will form a military alliance. ”

After listening to Lin Yue's translated words, Lin Jue's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, frowning, and falling into deep thought.

To be honest, he didn't want to accept this request for an alliance, after all, the other party didn't say what this alliance was for. The most important thing is that Lin Jue, who has experienced a war in his own life, does not want to come into contact with other things that may bring danger to Phoenix.

After a moment, his fingers tapping on the table stopped, and he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Unfortunately, Mr. Storm, I may not be able to grant both requests. No, it is impossible to agree to an alliance to be precise. ”

"Why?" said Storm, stunned. In his opinion, this should have been a proper topic, but he didn't expect him to refuse.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Jue said: "Because, compared to the alliance between dwarves and elves, the human beings who have just come to this continent not long ago may not have much strength to contribute. I think you should have seen yesterday that under the attack of an army of only 10,000 jungle goblins, our army also lost more than 1,000 people while we defended the city. ”

"And the entire Eastern Continent, oh, that is, what you call the Haber Continent, the total population of the human race, I am afraid that it will not exceed 200,000, and the current number of our human beings is very small, and their lives are not sacrifices. ”

"Moreover, I alone cannot represent the entire human force. The human beings here belong to the various countries of the human race, and it is difficult to reach a unified intention. I'm afraid I'm not qualified to represent them. ”

"The most important point is that our exchange of information is seriously insufficient, after all, until now, I have not been able to figure out what you are talking about as a military alliance, what is the establishment of the military alliance, and what is the enemy you are facing?"

Storm sighed heavily, and said, "First of all, Your Excellency, please believe me, I have come with good intentions. However, I am afraid that I will not be able to give you an accurate answer to the enemies we are facing, because so far, the Ice Kingdom, and even the Elven Kingdom, have not known who the real enemy is. ”

"I can only tell you what we know, the limited amount of information we have. Known enemies include the cannibal tribes of the tundra, the mysterious undead legions in the northeast, and the jungle elves in the southern forests. ”

"They are numerous and powerful, and the most troublesome thing now is that they seem to have established some kind of connection, and in the past three years, almost all races have been involved in this war, countless city-states have been destroyed by them, and several countries of weaker strength have been destroyed by them. ”

"Until now, we have not been able to contact each other, we don't even know what each other's purpose is, as if they are simply trying to start a war and destroy as much as they want. ”

In fact, having said this, there is no need to say much about the storm, Lin Jue has clearly understood that the crisis faced by Phoenix City this time is probably not so simple.

In fact, the other party is not targeting human beings, human beings just happened to step into this storm. Although the facts are very helpless, but in the current situation, Lin Jue has no way to sit idly by.

Lin Jue's brows furrowed slightly, thinking of the news he had received from Dawning City before, as well as the war that Phoenix City had just experienced, and then thinking about the news that Storm had obtained here, his face suddenly became a little ugly.

He wondered, "Then you mean, I'm afraid that humans can't be left alone?"

Storm shrugged his shoulders and replied, "In its current form, it seems like this. ”
