"What do you mean you mean the brass fortress can't be held?"

The Castilian elves made a generous move, and Murphy had previously asked to retrieve the Avalon Holy Blades they had collected, and as a result, thirty Holy Blades were delivered immediately, and with these things, the future development of the Avalon Sanctuary in Transencia would definitely be smooth sailing.

But rather than these gifts, Murphy is more concerned with the request that Dames just said.

The vampire lord frowned and said:

"Isn't that place locked down? I got the news that the brass dwarves are still resisting, and the gnolls not only did not attack it, but even their own tunnels were occupied by the dwarves in reverse. ”

"I don't know exactly what happened."

Captain Dams shook his head and said:

"I didn't go to the battlefield of the Gorgon Pass, which was sealed off by the forces of the subspace, and no one of them was able to leave freely, but thanks to the Storm Rippers of the Atlantan Sharks, some of the information could finally be delivered.

That's the message from our Ranger General.

She believes that the Brass Fortress will fall completely in the near future, and she is preparing to break out with the trapped rangers.

The Gorgon Pass cannot be reached, once the Brass Fortress is defeated, the place will be completely occupied by the Jackals in an instant, and the Ranger General can only retreat in the direction of Transnesia, to be precise, take the route of the Hungry Plains to the Black Flame Pass.

I informed the General of the location of Fort Courage, and I guess it would be the final place of General Filosil's stay. ”

"Hmm, I see."

Murphy glanced at the thirty holy blades on the table, which were suddenly not attractive enough at this moment, and the Governor narrowed his eyes and said:

"So, your Ranger General wants the defenders of Fort Courage to pick them up, right? That's too embarrassing! This means that the warriors of Fort Courage will need to fight through the entire Hunger Plains to meet your men.

But if we really have such strength, we won't be crushed and beaten by the gnolls of Xu Gesen and the two clans.

IMHO, you guys are just whimsical!

Carrying out this plan would mean abandoning the defense of Fort Courage, and even taking care of the serious consequences of losing most of our army, and I now know why the people on the continent don't like you elves.

Let Transcia bleed at this critical moment, just to save your Ranger General.

This abacus is a little too loud! ”

In the face of Murphy's rebuttal, Captain Dames had nothing to say.

Because of the facts, the Ranger General's request was indeed a bit difficult, but he could not let his people be trapped and die in the Gorgon Pass, where the situation was becoming more and more critical.

But before the High Captain could speak, the elven priest in the moon-white robe who was sitting in the room spoke in a cold tone:

"The Kingdom of Castile has 89 collected Avalon blades, and King Querion has made it clear that he can give them all to the Church of Avalon in Transnesia, and we will help the Church of Avalon rebuild its system and faith.

In addition, the Elven Kingdom will provide Transnesia with a batch of supplies for the war and a large interest-free loan to help you survive the war. ”

"So, this is the money for the Ranger General's life, right?"

Murphy suddenly understood.

He said:

"I've heard that Lady Firosir is the only sister of King Querion? How? In the eyes of the Elf King, is his sister worth such a thing? ”

This rhetorical question directly blinded the Moon Sacrifice.

No, you're also a lord governor, is it really okay to speak so directly?

At the critical moment, Captain Dames reacted quickly, and he heard something from Murphy, and it was not impossible to talk about it, so the captain gave the priest a look, and he took over the next conversation, and the grim elf with the blindfold spoke:

"We can certainly give more in exchange for the survival of the Ranger General and the Expeditionary Force, but you must act, Your Excellency the Governor."

"You want me to send the defenders of Fort Courage to meet them, it's impossible!"

Murphy shook his head and said:

"The matter of breaking out can only be handled by your ranger generals, but don't worry, I have a compromise solution, take the map of the Gorgon Pass!"

Captain Dames immediately pulled out a map and spread it out in front of Murphy's eyes.

The Governor glanced at him, activated the location sign on his Voyager Armor, and then drew a circle at a location on the outskirts of the Gorgon Pass, and explained the location.

He said to the two elves:

"There is a thousand-year-old relic in the mountains here. Don't ask me how I know, anyway, let your Ranger General take people here, but don't go deep once you find it!

It was a dangerous military zone from the last era, and I'm sure there were some Golden Age creations in action, and it was because of their activities that it had been hidden for thousands of years without being found, which meant that there was a defense there.

Find this relic!

Hide in and wait for our backup.

As long as they make it here, I'm sure I'll be able to get them out. ”

Captain Dames and the Moon Priest looked at each other, and after a few seconds, he asked:

"Can you be sure of the news? Forgive me for my caution, but after all, the lives of thousands of rangers and a forest prince are at stake, in the event of an accident to them."

"Do you think I'm joking about something like this that if you don't get it right, it will cause the relationship between Translancia and the Elven Kingdom to break down?"

Murphy glanced at Captain Dames, and as he put the weapons boxes containing the Holy Blades into his special psionic bag, he said:

"Send a message for them to find, time waits for no one, but remember my warning! Don't try to search inside until I arrive, it's really dangerous, and if there are casualties as a result of your reckless actions, then I won't be held responsible. ”

"You should at least tell me the name of the ruin, right?"

Captain Dames asked one last question, and Murphy shrugged his shoulders and said:

"The remains of the 'Voyager Headquarters', that's what it's called, can you send something into the Gorgon Pass now?"

"Yes, but not too much."

The Moon Priest, who was holy-mannered and in fairly good shape, explained:

"The Shark Storm Rippers of the Great Reef Province are trying to destroy the subspace force field that has enveloped the Gorgon Pass, but that will take time, and the few paths that have been opened now are only allowed to pass through solo and there is a risk of getting lost.

We sent seven people, but only three made it back. ”

"Well, wait for me at the Crimson Keep, and I'll prepare a set of identifying weapons for your Ranger General, which will keep her and her soldiers from being attacked by the Golden Age creations. As for the Elven Kingdom's assistance to Translasia and interest-free loans, you can go to Archon Miriam to negotiate, and I will not intervene. ”

Murphy made a promise and left the cabin with a few pleasantries.

As he walked to Professor Malcolm's cabin, he activated the quantum communication and said to Tracy:

"My baby, please go to the exhibition hall and get a set of Far Traveler Protectors and pack them, I will be useful later."

"Huh?"

Tracey immediately retorted:

"What? Got a new 'random event' again? ”

Murphy described the matter of the Ranger General to Tracey, and the Scarlet Witch thought for a moment and said:

"But isn't the headquarters of the Far Traveler Company a treasure you booked? Is it really okay to leak it to those elves like that? What if they find those things before we do? Isn't this a bamboo basket for water? ”

"They can't do it."

Murphy confidently said:

"My collaborator Manners has been asking me to go to the Land of Creation to find the energy of creation for it, and the ruins of the company are the places we have agreed to go to, and if the elves preempt them, then Mannes' hope of breaking the seal will dim.

So the Endless will be willing to help us keep an eye on the elves in this matter.

It will take time for them to find a place, so we will use them as free labor to help us locate the specific location, and when the subspace force field of the Gorgon Pass is destroyed, the two of us will gather our men and go over in person.

Go and come back quickly, don't waste time.

If the arsenal of the Far Wanderer Company can be found, then the Maginot Line will have another chance of victory. ”

"Okay, since you're sure, then I won't say anything, I'll prepare what you need."

Tracey answered and cut off the communication, which made Murphy feel that having a reliable virtuous helper was really the happiest thing for a man, with this thought, he stretched out his finger and knocked on the hatch in front of him, and a few seconds later the door opened, and Professor Malcolm's haggard face appeared in front of Murphy's eyes.

"How did you get yourself like this?"

Murphy was surprised and said:

"You look twenty years older all at once!"

"Ah, how difficult things are, and I wonder about the relationship between pressure and gray hair, but this situation always reminds me of the general in the history of the otherworldly."

Professor Malcolm sighed and invited the lord into his cabin.

He's stocked up with all sorts of materials, and he's preparing a report to submit to the Crimson Archon and Administration.

Professor Malcolm, who had been appointed ambassador, would not stay long in Transnesia this time, and in three days he would return to the port of Chardo, where his wife, children, and students were still there.

"Let's make a long story short."

Seeing that the professor was so tired, Murphy did not waste time in greetings, saying:

"When you get to the Crimson Keep, you must make a trip to the Avalon Sanctuary and have the priests perform a reining ritual for you, your stress and exhaustion are visible to the naked eye, and I don't want an important person like you to cause health damage due to work."

"I'll get over it, but I have to finish this debriefing first, and that's important to us, and to everyone in the war."

The professor took a sip of coffee to sober himself up.

He picked up his diary and flipped through it, rubbed his eyebrows and said to Murphy:

"You should have spoken to Captain Paula, but I will tell you that the situation in the port of Chardo is deteriorating faster than you think, and that the bustling city was in a panic before the plague of the gnolls arrived.

The unstable aspect of the halfling's personality is completely released in the face of this pressure.

Before I returned, there were more than a dozen bandits in the city, occupying the sewers of Port Chardo and part of the Lower Town, facing off against forces loyal to the Steam Lords.

The frightened ones are asking the Council of Steam Lords to open up the port and airspace, hoping to escape the city before the war comes. ”

The debriefing made Murphy frown.

He asked:

"It's been messed up to this point? But Paula told me that the Steam Lords were gathering an army to defend their city, and that wasn't it already under military control? Although the halflings are politically naïve, they are not still soft-hearted at this stage, right? ”

"They're decisive, trust me, lord."

The professor lamented and said:

"One gang will be wiped out if there is one, but the problem is that the halflings were too well protected by the brass dwarves before, and now after suddenly losing the security services provided by the brass dwarves and being told that they might have to face the gnoll black plague, those little men fell into a strong sense of crisis.

Their peculiar character and civilized way of doing so have led to this sense of crisis being infinitely magnified, and this unease is exacerbated by the vigorous and resolute military control of the Steam Lords.

I suspect now that there are other forces in Porto Chardo besides the Witch Cafe at Dusk, otherwise I can't explain how the city will be in such chaos in a short period of time.

The panicked populace was stirred up, and they staged demonstrations in the streets.

They were shouting slogans, but to be honest, I didn't think they knew what they wanted, it was pure frustration out of fear.

Every march would end with a big riot, and even the Chardeau Artisan University was affected, and I suggested that we should send our children to safety as soon as possible, and the current situation in the Chardo port felt bad to me.

There seems to be an invisible vortex generating.

The gnolls are only one aspect, even if the black plague does not come, if the frightened halflings continue to mess around like this, they will destroy themselves sooner or later. ”

"Why does this sound so familiar? What about color revolutions? ”

Murphy muttered in his heart and thought for a few seconds, then said to the professor:

"In your opinion, do you think that if the gnolls do cross the Gorgon Pass and attack the port of Chardo, the halflings will be able to hold it?"

"Relying on them simply won't work! The halflings have no real army at all, the thieves' guild and the mechanics' guild can only be auxiliaries, and without an army, they can't resist the gnolls. ”

Professor Malcolm said decisively:

"Halflings are not known for their use of force, but before I left, I had confirmed that the Songhai people would send a solar ship to their aid, and the Elven Kingdom of Castile intended to send the mighty Amasasia fleet into the port of Chardo.

With the support of these two forces, the city of halflings will not fall, but the entire Chardo Peninsula will definitely be poisoned.

The place had survived four black plagues, was the most prosperous and wealthy place on the continent, it was nothing short of a disaster, and now it seemed that the fall of the Brass Fortress was only a matter of time, which meant that the most terrible disaster on the Chardo Peninsula was about to happen. ”

"Well, in line with the elves' judgment."

Murphy rubbed his chin and said:

"So, in your opinion, how should we get our share of what is bound to happen?"

"That's exactly what I'm going to say next."

Professor Malcolm whispered:

"Perhaps it's time for us to open the borders of Lake Sorpers and absorb the panicked residents of the Chardon Peninsula into Transnesia. They were really scared, and that fear didn't need to be exaggerated, and anyone who had read the history of the Black Disaster knew what kind of disaster they were about to face.

The upper and wealthy can flee to safer places, but what about the lower ones?

Those poor people have nowhere to go!

Except to stay on the Chardo Peninsula and wait for death, they could only follow the railway that ran through the peninsula all the way north, either into the Cato region or into Transasia. ”

"But you can't go to Cato that place, it's dangerous."

Murphy narrowed his eyes and said in a subtle elongated voice:

"So, for the sake of those poor people's lives, let's let them enter the arms of Translasia, I guess, the Batasin Chamber of Commerce has made some preparations for this?"

"Well, Madam Parlian is really capable and sharp, and she has sent business representatives all over the cities of the Chardo Peninsula, and we can start organizing the migration with just an executive order from you."

The professor said:

"But I guess King Louis will not let go of this good opportunity, the situation I can see, the Sun King will only see more clearly, I suspect that the Cato region is also ready to accept the displaced people, they have a natural advantage in this regard.

After all, Cato is not directly threatened by the Black Plague, while Transncia is facing it. ”

"Don't be afraid, we have an advantage too."

Murphy waved his hand and said:

"It seems that I have to find a chance to meet with our dear Archduke Edward, the Wolf Venom Clan is expanding its power in the Cato region, and there are so many outsiders pouring in at this juncture, isn't this adding to the cause of the Wolf Venom Clan?

We're all vampires and deserve to help each other.

Although the relationship between the Vulture and the Wolf Venom over the past few hundred years has been very mediocre, I guess old Edward will give me this face. ”
