Chapter 213: Meetings
In the blink of an eye, news of the Alliance's collusion with Sin City spread across the continent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
This news is no longer only circulating among the major forces on the mainland, but also among ordinary people, and the news that the demon is about to break out of the abyss and attack the continent has also begun to circulate. All sorts of gossip circulated in taverns and markets, and even half-grown children could tell a few stories about the true and false devils.
Although ninety percent of these news are made up, it is enough to make people's hearts fluctuate. The price of food and weapons in the market has risen by at least thirty percent, and if it weren't for the city guards dispatched by each kingdom in time to suppress the vendors, and the timely killing of a few leading big merchants to deter those small traders who follow suit, I am afraid that the soaring prices alone would be enough for these human kingdoms to break their bones.
However, although the common people were temporarily suppressed, many well-informed nobles began to quietly pack their bags, and if the wind broke the grass, they would immediately flee inland. After all, the battle that took place in Sin City was too tragic, although in the end the demon and the human race signed a peace treaty, but who will tear up the treaty this time and provoke a war again.
If there is another war, will they be able to survive, will the demon still stop at the edge of the abyss like the last time? No one dares to put their net worth and life on the thoughts of others, let alone the chaotic demon who pins their trust on it.
Ordinary people hear the news, and the major colleges that know more about the news are even more fluctuating. Oh, and it should now be collectively known as the Twin Towers Academy. They have personal feelings about the big war that year. They have a more intuitive understanding of the power of demons.
After receiving this news, the Twin Towers Academy convened a meeting of all the high-level recruiters to discuss how to deal with this matter.
"Lord Dean, I think that regardless of whether Sin City has joined a rival alliance or not, we should send someone to find out, and only after we have accurate information can we decide on the next course of action, otherwise there is no point in us discussing here. ā
"Lord Dean, I believe that regardless of whether Sin City joins the Alliance or not, we should show absolute force to deter each other, otherwise, this will cause the prestige and authority that we have just erected to be questioned, and the new power needs to be forged with blood to stabilize. The head of a combat team said.
"I object, everyone knows about the Battle of Sin City hundreds of years ago, I think it is extremely unwise to start a war rashly with a powerful opponent, whether we are from the high-end combat power or the basic combat personnel may not be much higher than the Sin City back then, not to mention that after so many years, we still don't know how much the strength of Sin City has grown. I believe that we should refrain from provoking disputes and send a negotiating team to show our sincerity in the peace talks. I believe that in the face of sufficient interests, there is nothing that cannot be discussed. Said a new arcanist who had taken refuge in the small Arcane Academy.
"How do you guarantee that the other side will not attack our negotiators, as we did with the coalition negotiators before?" said an old man with a somewhat gloomy face.
"Well, you can't imagine someone else like this just because you're like that. The arcanist stammered.
"Hmph, we should be prepared for the worst, speculating on others with the most malicious thoughts will only make you cautious. The old man turned to the dean on the other end of the long table and said, "Lord Dean, I think we should be ready to prepare for battle, maybe the other side will launch a full-scale attack on us at any time. ā
"You, you're alarmist. ā
"Oh, why are you so strongly opposed to the academy's preparations, are you an undercover agent sent by the Alliance?" said the old man with an unkind face.
"You, you're spewing blood, how could I be an undercover agent for the Alliance. The arcanist turned to the dean and said, "Lord Dean, I signed the soul contract, how can I help the people of the Alliance?"
"Maybe you've obtained some kind of secret method to circumvent the soul contract. The old man still didn't give up.
"Alright, silence. ā
Finally, the dean, who was sitting at one end of the long table, stopped the argument below.
"Okay, a moderate discussion can enlighten everyone's thinking, but a pointless argument is a waste of everyone's time. I hope to hear less of this meaningless nonsense in the future. "The dean played fifty boards each, impartially.
"Yes, Dean. The two columns of the long table replied in a low voice.
"Well, Elep, tell me what you think. The dean said to Elup on his left.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
At this time, Erep has grown from an ordinary arcanist who presided over the construction of the Floating City to an experienced commander-in-chief of the Floating City, although he himself is only a great arcanist and is not considered the top among the participants, but because of his excellent command of the Floating City, he himself has the most powerful striking force in the Twin Towers Academy, therefore, Elop's words are likely to be related to the formulation of the final plan of the Academy.
Elop straightened up his clothes and stood up, "Lord Dean, colleagues, according to the secret report we received some time ago, we already have some evidence to prove that Abyss City has participated in the war against us, but the other party has not yet made it clear that it will participate in the war. ā
Hearing this, the underground arcanists stirred up slightly. After all, once this news is confirmed, then they will most likely face the second Battle of Sin City. This kind of question related to their lives cannot help but make them imprudent.
At this moment, an arcanist stood up, "Lord Elep, may I ask you what evidence you have, can you let us see it, after all, this matter is too big. ā
"Well, yes," Elop asked the dean for instructions before opening a small door and picking up an old man, "This is Master Thorne, the dean of the Palm Tree Academy, who is new to us, and the information that Sin City has completely intervened in the war has also been confirmed from Master Thorne, do you have any opinions?"
"Master Thorne, could you please show us some evidence that Sin City has intervened? An arcane said one.
"Well, well, since you need it, I'll say it again. "Master Thorne naturally recounted all the events of that day. At the end, he concluded, "Although there are some philosophical differences between our academy and the Twin Towers Academy, this is an internal problem that can be solved internally. But the Alliance has dragged demons into the fray, a challenge to all Arcanists and a blasphemy against the warriors who died in the Battle of Sin City. I hope that everyone can join forces and work together to drive the demons out of the continent once and for all. ā
Buzz~Buzz~
The once quiet conference hall suddenly became noisy again, and this news was the first time many people had heard of it. Although they all knew in their hearts that it was basically possible for someone like Master Thorne to testify, the luck in their hearts and the fear of demons still made them unwilling to face the truth.
"Silence. A crisp voice came from one end of the long table, and the dean sitting at one end of the long table gently knocked on the solid wood tabletop, and the entire conference room instantly became silent.
"Master Thorne. ā
"Dean, what do you command? Master Thorne bowed deeply to the dean.
"Although the information you provided has basically been confirmed, this matter is related to the future of the academy, and we have to pay attention to it, so I will send an investigation team to Sin City and the Alliance to investigate the situation, and I ask for your cooperation. ā
"Yes, the Dean. Thorne bowed and said.
"Elep. ā
"The subordinates are here. ā
"How's the renovation of the Floating City going?"
"Report to the dean, the renovation work of the floating city is nearing completion, and there is another week to complete the complete overhaul of the entire floating city. After the overhaul, the Floating City can be put into battle at any time. ā
"Well, from now on, the floating city is in a state of combat readiness, all the personnel cancel their vacations and return to the team immediately, I want the floating city to be able to set off immediately within half an hour of receiving the order. ā
"Yes, Dean. ā
"Okay, let's go back and list this matter as a first-class secret, and don't leak it to the outside world. In addition, everyone secretly prepared for war and dismissed the meeting. ā
