"Marshal, something is not going well. The area of the seal is very wide, and in addition to the land of relics, it also extends to the outside world.

Judging from our investigation, the seal was not actually damaged, but the Gathering Magic Array, which maintained the operation of the seal, had been damaged to a certain extent.

Fortunately, it is a combination of multiple magic arrays, and damage to the single formation will not affect the operation of other magic arrays.

The essence of the sinking of the underground palace is that the energy supply is insufficient, and the priority is to ensure the operation of the seal.

If I'm not mistaken, the Lands of the Damned has never been cursed. What caused an accident to the local tribe was actually the eruption of the backlog of energy in the Sealed Land. ”

Listening to Robb's speculation, Hudson's face was very unpleasant. According to this argument, the Cursed Lands became an unsolvable puzzle.

Although it is difficult to accept in the heart, this is already the most reasonable explanation.

If it was really easy to solve, the orcs would have solved it a long time ago, and there would not be so many tribes killed at all.

"Do your best, let it be the fate of heaven!

Judging from the information gathered, it is likely that the seal under the ruins is the entrance to the other world.

If you can't figure out the 10,000-year catastrophe, that's where it started.

The seal must never be opened until there is a definite answer! ”

Hudson said helplessly.

It's depressing to think about it, there is such a big thunder in front of my own territory. Fortunately, I found it now, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.

First, he guarded the frontier of the Terrans and blocked the invasion of the Orcs, and now there is a potential other world, a proper Terran Patron Saint.

It's just that such a title is not what Hudson wants. If possible, he would rather the world be peaceful.

Times are different.

Hudson had already made a name for himself and had accumulated a rich foundation, and now what he needed was to defend the country.

As a person with vested interests, he is inherently disgusted with troubled times.

Deep down, Hudson had secretly prayed that there would never be only this passage.

It's not that I want to pull people on my back, but my ability is limited, and I can't afford to bear the catastrophe of 10,000 years alone.

With the current situation on the continent, it is simply impossible for the communities to be united.

Even if everyone believes in the existence of the 10,000-year tribulation, it is estimated that the first thing that all races think of is not to be able to survive the crisis together, but to think about how to pull the human race from the position of the overlord of the continent.

"Marshal, don't worry too much. Judging from the age of the seal's existence, it must have been more than 10,000 years.

The text used to record messages is the oldest known written language, at least tens of thousands of years old.

If the 10,000-year tribulation had erupted from here, the seal would have been broken long ago, and it would have been impossible to continue until now.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there are multiple sources of the 10,000-year tribulation, which will erupt in turn. ”

The low emotional intelligence of the Neemeyer wizard comforted Hudson directly without anything to say.

If you don't worry about it, you can have a ghost, and gamble on the probability of the family foundation that you have worked so hard to accumulate. If you win, you won't have anything, and if you lose, you will lie down on the board directly, no matter how you look at it, it will be a blood loss.

In line with the principle that "it is better to be happy alone than to be happy together", Hudson decisively chose to share "happiness".

After the sensitive content was hidden, the information about the 10,000-year catastrophe was disseminated as soon as possible.

……

The Emerald Palace, Caesar IV, who received the news, was stupid.

He had just lived a few comfortable days, and then something happened again, and he was not prepared to let him sleep for a few days at all.

The rumors of the "Ten Thousand Years Tribulation" have been heard since he was a child, but more often in the form of mythological stories.

Until then, there was no evidence that this was true.

Because there are too many versions in circulation, there are a lot of artistic processing ingredients in the middle. At every turn, the mountains and the earth are cracking, moving mountains and seas, and the rumors have long been distorted.

In order to find out about this matter, Caesar IV in the time of the crown prince once sent someone to investigate because of curiosity.

The source did not disappoint, and the first time the words "10,000 years of catastrophe" appeared were in a myth.

His childhood dreams were shattered, and now someone told him that the 10,000-year catastrophe recorded in the myth was real.

Looking at the series of signatures under the recital, Caesar IV dispelled the idea of a harsh reprimand.

No matter how bizarre it is, there are so many people who sign it, and the trust level has also risen.

Looking at the stunned ministers, Caesar IV said impatiently: "Don't be stunned, just say what you think!" ”

After all, it was young people, and Caesar IV was far better than these ministers when it came to accepting the affairs of the new life.

"Your Majesty, this matter is too involved, you have to give us time to take a break!"

Marquis Delgado said with a wry smile.

As the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the Kingdom, he has always been the most pragmatic. I have never been dismissive of these myths.

If it weren't for the fact that Hudson and Robert were both in the signature, he would have thought it was a prank.

"What's the fuss, it's not the first time that the news of the 10,000-year catastrophe has appeared, it's nothing more than the documentary evidence of the existence of the catastrophe found this time.

They all calmed down, the sky hadn't fallen yet.

Ten thousand years ago, our human race was still an inconspicuous race. The ancestors faltered, but they were able to cut all the way to today.

Now they have all become the hegemon of the mainland, and their strength is far more than a hundred times that of the year. Even if you encounter a crisis, you can get through it safely! ”

Caesar IV pretended to be calm.

It seems that there is no point in pretending, but in fact it is a monarch who is maturing Peugeot.

"Don't be surprised when things happen", but it is a plus for the monarch. No matter how you lie in your heart, you must be calm as a king.

Stepping on the minister's position, this is only a minor problem. There is already a monarch and a minister, and it doesn't hurt to be a ladder.

"Your Majesty, we still have too little information about the Ten Thousand Years Tribulation in our hands.

Just inform the Terran Alliance, there are so many ancient forces in the Southern Continent, they should know more things.

Let's piece together the information, even if we can't restore the truth 10,000 years ago, it's better than worrying about it alone! ”

The proposal of the Minister of War, the Grand Duke Ephiero, was quickly unanimously approved.

I didn't know how to solve it, so I simply pulled the Terran Alliance to face it together.

It is naturally best to be able to restore the historical truth and solve the crisis. If you can't find a solution, you can also have a group of unlucky people to worry about it.

"Then activate the communication magic array, so that everyone can receive this good news as soon as possible.

By the way, one more note: a new round of 10,000-year tribulation is about to break out, so they don't have to worry about it! ”

Caesar IV said with a smile.

When the 10,000-year tribulation broke out, he naturally didn't know, but this didn't affect the use of it to fool people.

Compared with the unit of measurement of 10,000 years, "about to explode" is actually very broad.

A few days are approaching, a few years are approaching, and hundreds of years can still be said of each other.

Just make bold predictions, and you don't have to be responsible anyway.

In his lifetime, it happened that he had foresight; It didn't happen, it was more blood-earned.

With such a broad timeline, even if it were found to be made up, it would be hundreds of years later.

The ministers did not stop it, apparently they shared the same view as Caesar IV: the catastrophe of ten thousand years was indeed a threat, but no one knew exactly when it would erupt.

Due to the lack of sufficient information, it is not even known the specific time of the last catastrophe.

If you're not sure, then it's up to you. It's okay to worry, but it's not necessary to be anxious. If you can't meet it in your lifetime, won't you toss yourself?

……

At the top of the Holy Mountain, looking at the rumors from the Alpha Kingdom, the Shelter VII smiled disdainfully.

"It seems that the nature of the alpha can't be changed, just by harvesting some literature, he can make such a fuss!"

"Ten thousand years of catastrophe", this is all the old yellow calendar. A thing that has been mentioned repeatedly around you, but you have never experienced it personally, and everyone will be numb after a long time.

Even if it is real, it is a thing of the past, and who can guarantee that it will continue in the future?

Even if it will continue, as long as it does not happen in one's lifetime, it is enough.

There is no point in not knowing when something will happen and thinking about it in advance. If you have the spare time to worry about this, you might as well continue to implement your own strategy.

"Your Majesty, the crisis consciousness of the Alfa is well known to everyone in the whole continent.

However, their findings are still worth paying attention to. Now that they can find the ancient ruins in the orc savannah, we can also step up our search in the ZoC.

If we can figure out the ins and outs of the 10,000-year tribulation, we can also reassure the hearts of the people and enhance our prestige on the mainland. ”

Blake suggested.

Ten years ago, he would never have mentioned such a meaningless plan, but times are different now.

The speed of the decline of the Holy See is already visible to the naked eye. If nothing is done, I am afraid that the foundation of the Holy See will be buried in the hands of their generation.

Even if it is a political show, the Holy See must do it now. To figure out the ins and outs of the 10,000-year catastrophe, at least in terms of publicity, you can boast of contributing to the safety of the human race.

Compared to the risk of stepping forward and turning the tide in times of crisis, this kind of effort to search for relics is really not worth mentioning.

"Blake, you're thinking too simply. If the 10,000-year tribulation was easy to figure out, the ancestors would have solved it long ago.

In fact, at the peak of the Holy See, someone was specially sent to investigate. It's a pity that they are about to turn over the mainland, but they still haven't been able to find what they want.

Judging from the investigation, it seems that someone deliberately erased this history and did not want future generations to know the truth.

Ten thousand years ago, the overlord of the continent was orcs, and my human race was just an ordinary small race in the Aslant continent, and the rise was after the catastrophe.

If the few great clans at that time wanted to erase this history, the ancestors were powerless to stop it. Even for the sake of racial continuity, it is necessary to take the initiative to cooperate.

In fact, among the materials in the possession of our Holy See, there is also information about the catastrophe of ten thousand years. It's just that the ancestors who secretly recorded these messages didn't know much, and only vaguely mentioned a few words.

Regarding the truth about the 10,000-year tribulation, the ancestors actually didn't know. They were passive all the while, and then ended in a blur.

In order to avoid causing panic, the pope at that time ordered the news to be blocked, so in the eyes of the outside world, the catastrophe of ten thousand years has always been a myth!

The matter is not over here, and we have also exterminated several alien races in the follow-up, trying to find the truth from them, but unfortunately they don't know much.

At present, on the mainland, it is possible that only the elves and dragons who are far away from overseas can know the truth! ”

After listening to Pius VII's explanation, everyone was directly dumbfounded. After doing it for a long time, the existence of the 10,000-year tribulation is not a secret at all.

Since the Holy See knows, then some of the great forces in the Southern Continent that inherit the ancient world may also know.

The only countries that have really been kept in the dark are probably the new states that have risen in the last few hundred years. What the Alpha Kingdom is doing now is just piercing this layer of window paper.

"Your Majesty, the Arfa said that the 10,000-year catastrophe is just around the corner, could it be that they have made a new discovery?

Although I don't know what the Great Tribulation is, almost all of the previous continent overlords have declined from the Great Tribulation, and it is also worthy of our attention! ”

The Captain of the Gregory on the side spoke.

Reason is a prerequisite for everything. Before the decline of the Holy See, everyone was busy fighting for power and various infighting.

Now that he is forced by external forces, Pius VII can't care about playing with political balance, and the factions are too lazy to continue acting.

When it comes to interests, how to fight, how to fight, but on the premise that their own interests are not involved, the various factions have stopped pulling each other's backs.

Whether they will be able to reverse the decline of the Holy See, no one knows, but they have begun to save themselves.

This is almost an instinctive reaction of the rulers, and even the most corrupt regime, in the event of an existential crisis, there are people who will take steps to try to turn the tide.

"This is indeed a trouble, but the truth of this matter is still up for debate.

Send people to keep an eye on the Alpha Kingdom, if they are crazy about expanding their armaments and warfare, and they don't use troops against the orcs, then the news proves that it is true, and we will follow up immediately! ”

Pius VII thought for a moment and said.

Perfect solution, almost no flaws can be found. Obviously, Pius VII, who has been in charge of the Holy See for many years, is still qualified in terms of strategy.

……

Similar scenes continue to be staged in major forces. Caesar IV's prank only frightened a group of small and medium-sized powers, and several top strengths of the human race are still very stable.

This kind of stability is not only based on the asymmetry of the news, but also in the confidence of strength.

The orcs of the former continental overlord were all slowly declining after the Great Tribulation, and the current strength of the human race is no worse than that of them.

Because of the unity of the race, when it comes to the comprehensive strength of the race, it is actually a little stronger.

At this moment, all eyes are on the Alpha Kingdom, and the international situation is slowly changing.

Kingdom of Avalat.

With the old king's breath, Elton VIII, who was in his early forties, ascended to the throne with the support of a group of nobles.

Unlike his father's harmony, the young and promising Crown Prince Elton has always been regarded as the hope of the kingdom by all parties in the country.

Elton VIII did not disappoint everyone, and as soon as he ascended the throne, he appointed the leader of the reformers, Duke Grenafan, as prime minister, and began the road to reform the kingdom.

There is no doubt that any reform comes at a price, and the Kingdom of Awarat is no exception.

However, this is a matter of the future, and the nobles of the Avalat Kingdom at this moment still have high hopes for this reform.

As vested interests, no one wants the kingdom to be strong more than they do. Especially when the neighbors are getting stronger and stronger, but the own family is steadily retreating.

"Reform to make it strong" won the support of the nobility of all parties. The aristocracy, including the conservatives, also hoped that the kingdom would be able to reverse its declining decadence through reform.

"Your Majesty, the opportunity has come to the door!"

Duke Grenavan said with great interest.

For politicians, it doesn't really matter whether the news is true or not, the key is whether it is needed.

There is no doubt that the "news of the imminent outbreak of the catastrophe" is a good medicine for the reformers.

The more class-entrenched the world, the more difficult it is to reform. Even if all parties want the kingdom to become strong, when it comes to their own interests, supporters can become opponents.

As the leader of the reformers, Duke Grenavan sorted out all the situations in the kingdom, but he couldn't find a suitable entry point to start the road of reform.

Originally, he was ready to make excuses and forcibly promote reforms, but he didn't expect that at the critical moment, Alpha sent them a stepping stone.

Needless to say, it must be true that the 10,000-year catastrophe is about to erupt. Only when the news is true can the reformers be able to obtain the title of "great righteousness".

"Then give it a try!

But Your Excellency the Duke, if you take this step, there will be no way back for the kingdom.

Now there are only the only countries on the continent that can really be called powerful: the Frankish Kingdom, the Ibrian Kingdom, and the Alpha Kingdom.

The three kingdoms also represent three political models, and if the kingdom wants to reform successfully, the experience of the three of them has to be borrowed.

At present, the three countries of the Central Continent and the Principality of Moxi are all following the example of the Alpha Kingdom politically and militarily, and the specific results are unknown, but the prestige of the five-nation alliance is still out. ”

It can be seen that in the choice of political system, Elton VIII is still more inclined to the alpha model. For no other reason, it is entirely military and quick results.

Following the lines of the Frankish kingdoms and the kingdoms of Ibya, it is not known how many years it will take for the kingdom of Avalat to become strong.

But if you choose to take the route of the Alpha Kingdom, it only takes a few years to raise a large army with a certain combat effectiveness.

I can't guarantee anything else, at least I can stop the prying eyes of my neighbors.

In recent years, after a series of major wars, the evaluation of the combat effectiveness of the Alpha Kingdom army by the countries of the mainland has risen again and again.

Even if the economic strength dragged its feet, it still sat firmly in the position of the third kingdom of the mainland. Especially now that four allies have been pulled, and the prestige is even more sky-high.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that after the prelude to the reform begins, a delegation should be sent to the three countries to study and study.

After figuring out the political system model of the three kingdoms, we will choose the most suitable path for us based on the actual situation of the kingdom. ”

Duke Grenavan said apprehensively.

The choice of political system is not only a choice of route, but also involves the interests of all parties.
