Chapter 31 Bounded by the Vegal Mountains
"Pamir, you profiteer, you despicable snake man!" Jack was arguing in the market area of Twilight City, and he yelled at a snake man, and it seemed that Jack was mad. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Hey, my brother Jack, don't be so angry, let's talk about any problems. The snake merchant named Pamir said to Jack with a grin, as if Jack's madness had nothing to do with him.
"I'm not your brother! Don't grin at me! If I wasn't a Ranger, I'd have killed you with a knife!"
"Don't say that, Brother Jack, why are you so angry? Pamir was still smiling, as if he had often been treated so angrily.
"Don't be so angry, you said it lightly!What bullshit enchanted dagger you sold me last time! It didn't work!!I almost got gnawed by a demon last time!" said Jack, throwing a delicately crafted dagger in front of Pamir.
"Oh, I think it's a misunderstanding! You see, this dagger does not have magic power now, but when I sold it to you, you also saw it, that kind of magic power, it's not fake. Pamir laughed as he explained to Jack.
However, Jack still shouted that Pamir was a liar, and he insisted that Pamir compensate him for his losses, but Pamir said that it was definitely not his fault, so the two quarreled.
To be precise, it should be Jack who is making noise, Pamir laughs and keeps teasing Jack like no one else, and when Jack finally can't help but want to do it, he is stopped by the rangers of his own team.
At this moment, two people dressed as rangers, a man and a woman, happened to pass by, and they saw Jack making a big noise over there, the man smiling evilly at the woman, and the woman looking helpless.
"Haha, Miria, these new squad leaders trained by you are really worry-free. "The man was also a winged man, tall and with a delicate face, with a charming smile at the corners of his mouth, but always with a blank look in his eyes.
"Are you laughing at me?" Miria frowned slightly, she looked at the man, "These few people, although they have their own shortcomings, they are all good, and because of this, they were quickly promoted to the captain of the Frontier Rangers, and Captain Batista personally selected the team for them. β
"How dare I laugh at you, my Miria, I just think these humans are so stupid, take this Jack, his brain is really not very good, in Twilight City, almost everyone knows that Pamir is a profiteer, a liar, but this Jack is still willing to be deceived. β
The man looked at Jack again, who was being dragged away by his own rangers, but Jack still looked like he wanted to kill Pamir, which was really stupid.
"Don't forget! you're working for the humans you despise!" Miria had nothing to say to Jack, so she pulled away from Jack's stupidity.
"Oh, my dear, please make it clear that I, Sadieel, serve only for my own sense of purpose, and not for anything else. The winged man, Sadie El, said softly, staring at Miria with a charming smile.
Sadie El is about two hundred years old, and he joined the Borderlands Rangers around the same time as Miria, and he joined the Rangers for only one purpose, which is to maintain the balance of the Caroli Desert and prevent the creatures here from crossing the Free Borderlands.
"Of course, Alicia and Battista are one of the few humans I can make a good impression of, and as a mere human, they're not too bad. Sadie El added and shrugged his shoulders, for Sadie El, this was the greatest compliment he had ever given to humanity.
"Actually, Joseph's level is not bad. Miria tried to defend her former student.
"Is that squinting? a human bastard with quirky tastes. Sadie El shook his head, human beings are originally a race without a level, let alone bastards.
"Motta Tyrell, a nobleman, a knight. Miria thought of Tyrly, who came across as a well-educated man, after all, highly educated.
"Haha! Tyrellle is a scum of knights, a criminal, not to mention a wooden nerd. Sadie El laughed mockingly.
"Terry, his survival skills in the wild are unmatched!" was Miria's last hope, she didn't want her former cadet to be degraded to worthlessness.
"I admit that this wild boy is indeed a bit unexpected, but a wild boy is a wild boy, not to mention a naΓ―ve wild boy. Sadie El shrugged, but it was undeniable that Sadie El had a good impression of Terry.
Miria also reluctantly persuaded herself, at least for Terry, Sadie El couldn't say anything too ugly, and the four students that Miria had used to be, at least not so useless, at least...... That's how Miria persuaded herself......
In the council chamber of the fortress in the main city of Twilight, Tully is looking at the large map in the center, while Carmen Alicia, Queen of the Night, Sturit Batista, the leader of the Borderlands, and Garay Nice, the deputy leader of the Rangers, are waiting for Tully to explain his thoughts. There was silence in the council chamber, no one spoke, no one spoke, everyone just waited.
"With the Vegal Mountains as the boundary, build the Great Wall, and use the Twilight City as the foundation to defend against illusions. Once again, Tully spoke his mind, and his tone was so resolute, so firm.
Batista and Ness looked at each other with a frown, both with helpless expressions, while Alicia looked very excited, her eyes wide and charming, staring at Tully intensely.
"This is crazy!Maester Tully, I admit that it has gradually improved since you arrived in the Free Frontier, and many of your suggestions have proven to be outstanding, but this is the construction of the Great Wall...... It's crazy!" Ness spread his hands, he had felt very unreliable since he heard Tully's idea.
"This is an opportunity for us, I've checked some reports of phantoms lately, their number seems to have increased again, the town of Turia has been destroyed, the Ranger branch of Turia has been killed even to send the signal, if we don't do something, we will definitely regret it in the future. β
Tully looked at the pile of reports on the table with a resolute gaze, none of the recent reports on phantoms were good, and Tully was almost annoyed by the unfortunate news.
"We're working on it! With your advice, the Borderlands have steadily expanded in size, and now at least we're not a mess, and our Rangers are no longer just scoundrels. β
Nice's words are a big truth, and the momentum of the Ranger is indeed getting better and better, which makes the old members of the Ranger Group full of confidence.
"It's not enough! it's not enough!" Tully waved his hand at Ness, "The growth rate of the Rangers can't be compared to the Phantoms, the Phantoms are waiting now, they have been waiting for an opportunity since they were damaged in the war with the Rangers a few years ago, they are very patient this time, as long as their numbers increase enough to threaten the entire Yarrow Continent, they will definitely attack at that time!"
"That's just your guess. Ness puffed up at Tully's argument, how could the illusions grow rapidly for no reason, it was already a miracle that there could be so many illusions in the main material plane.
"The town of Turia is only the beginning! There will be more and more reports of the town of Turia in the future! They are slowly clearing our town west of the Vegal Mountains!" Tully glared at Ness and growled.
Alicia, Batista, and Ness were all stunned, because Tully used to be always smiling at everyone, as if nothing could make him angry, and even when Tully talked to others about his family, the demise of the Babayaro family, and his enemies, the Frey family, Tully could talk to everyone in a very relaxed and flat tone, but this time, Tully was really angry.
"We may ...... We might be able to defend the towns......" Ness's tone softened a little at this point, and he said as if he were making a suggestion.
"Defend the ruined towns of our Free Frontiers?" Tully laughed mockingly. Ness bowed his head in shame, he also felt that it was not realistic.
"Maestro Tully, you have a lot of truth in what you say, but don't forget that we in the Free Frontier don't have the manpower, material and financial resources to build the Great Wall. β
Batista calmly made an important point at this point, Tully's idea was bold and purposeful, but the situation of the Free Frontier simply could not support Tully to accomplish this impossible task.
Alicia suddenly walked around the council hall at this time, looking at the relaxed look, which made everyone present look at her, Alicia walked to the big map, looked at the geography and geographical location of the free frontier and similar regions, and then she smiled slightly, she looked at Garay Nice with a helpless face, and then at the majestic Batista, and finally, she set her eyes on Tully.
"I don't think it would have been possible for Mastress Tully, if he had asked this question, not to be aware of the actual state of our Free Frontier. Alicia had a charming smile on her face, and she looked at Tully with trust.
"Little Ellie must have guessed what I was thinking. Tully laughed, Queen of the Night, this is the true hope of the Free Frontiers.
"Our free frontier, the only role for the Yarrow Continent is to cut off the cruel and terrible Karoli Desert and the internal connection of the Yarrow Continent, but it is only our only role, but it has also become our only advantage. β
Alicia looked at Tully confidently, although Alicia can sometimes be a little childish, but she is never ambiguous about such an important matter.
"Little Ellie, I should have called you Her Royal Highness Queen Alicia right now!" Tully nodded in satisfaction, and looked at Alicia with a look of respect and a little excitement.
Batista seemed to understand something, he nodded incessantly, and stared at Tully, waiting for him to continue, but Ness still looked confused, he looked around at the crowd, lowered his head again, and fell into self-blame and shame.
"I intend to set out in the near future, first southeast from Twilight, and after reaching the town of Polipoli, follow the South Sea Line eastward to Saruli Bay, where I will try to find a ship, and then follow the southeast coastline to Hellas Bay. Tully patiently explained his itinerary to the crowd.
"Saluli Bay, that's the notorious Black Harbor Saluli Bay, it's a place full of danger and sin, and it's dangerous to go there. Ness said anxiously, and it could be seen that he was still very concerned about Tully's safety.
"Don't worry, first of all, the Free Frontier has no benefit to the Black Harbor, let alone any danger to the Black Harbor, it is indeed a city full of evil, but all evil will not be without roots. Tully smiled, he had thought it all through.
"Was the first real destination in Hellas Bay...... Well...... Roger Jones, the Governor of Hellas Bay, was not a good man, but he was certainly not an unreasonable man, and he was a real man of understanding. β
Batista nodded approvingly, Helas Bay has always been in a friendly relationship with the Free Frontier, and the vast majority of the merchants in the Free Frontier are from Helas Bay.
"I will make a short stop at the bay of Hellas, and then head northwest to try to make it through Venice Yarl alive and then to the city of Kerr. β
This is the second target designed by Tully, the city of Kerr, one of the best mages on the continent of Yarrow, and it also has the largest mage tower on the continent of Yarrow, the Tower of Kerr.
"Well, the mages of Kerr's City will at least help us with architecture, their sculptors are very good at this, but it's not easy to convince them, and you'll have to travel through Venice ...... Yar" Batista expressed concern, after all, it wasn't easy to do.
"Venice yal...... Then Sister Milia will play a big role, not to mention that Sadie El is also here. Alicia had a plan in her mind, and she first said the solution to Venice Yar.
Tali smiled and nodded in satisfaction, Miria was also in his plan, as for Sadieel, he was not very talkative, so he was not included in Tully's plan.
Venice Yarl is a city of winged people, more precisely, an area where the winged people are located, and if you don't want to make a detour, the best way to cross Venice Yarl is to reach the city of Kerr from the bay of Hellas. But the Winged People are very hostile to humans, and even more so in a Winged City with an ancient civilization like Venice Yar, few humans who dare to step into the territory of the Winged People get out of it alive.
"I will finally set out from the city of Kerr, pass through the free city-states, and enter the territory of the Midtown Federation, which is my final destination. Tully said this, looking around at the crowd. Alicia looked determined, Batista shook her head helplessly, and Ness looked incredulous.
"Midtown Federal...... I think that's the least likely place to get help...... Although there is a lot of wealth there. β
Batista expressed his worries, this is also a helpless thing, after all, in that kind of place where power is supreme, the word aid is too unattainable, and the free frontier, which is the barrier of the hinterland of the Yaluo continent, can really rely on this reason to get the help of the Midtown Federation...... It's too unlikely......
"The Midtown Federation is the most important part of my mission, without it, there is no hope of building the Great Wall......
Tully said truthfully, in fact, he didn't dare to report a positive attitude about whether he could win the assistance of the Midtown Federation, he could only fight for it, after all, this is the only hope for the Free Frontier, and it is the only hope for the Yarrow Continent.
At this point, it was useless to talk about it, not to mention that there was no way out of Tully's plan, Battista finally expressed his full support for Tully, and Ness would not say anything more, and what about Alicia?
"The idea of building the Great Wall is such a crazy idea that only Maester Tully can come up with, but I would like to conclude by saying that there is still some hope for the construction of the Great Wall with Twilight as the center, along the Vergar Mountains and south to the southern cliffs of Caroli...... But by the words of the north...... Will pass through that place......"
Battista's words, Tully had also thought about them, but there really was no best solution.
"It's really not easy...... We'll see if we can get around there...... Or will the other party be indifferent......" Tully faced this problem, he also helplessly spread his hands, and now the most important thing is to achieve the most basic human, material and financial resources.
Alicia smiled, she nodded with satisfaction, she looked at Tully, looked at Batista, looked at Nice, she made a decision at this time, a most daring decision, she knew that after she said this decision, everyone on the scene would be shocked, but for this decision, Alicia felt that no one could stop it.
"I'm decided! I'll go with Maester Tully, and there's no better way to ask for help than with the Queen of the Night visiting in person. Alicia exclaimed.
Tully, Sturit Batista, Gary Nice, all three of them had their mouths wide open, and the three of them looked at each other, and they didn't know how to respond, whether they were angry, helpless, or what? They couldn't react at all. Even Tully was the same, he was not surprised by Alicia's decision.
Alicia had a smug smile on her face, and the reactions of the three of them were all expected by her, but it didn't help, because it was her decision, it was the decision of the Queen of the Night, and no one could object. Alicia also knew that the importance of this trip was not only for the freedom of the borderlands, but also for the sake of the Yarrow Continent......
