Chapter 554 Responsibilities of the Holy Covenant

The situation with the Great Wall was more serious than Duke Ferdinand had initially imagined.

The elves are an ancient and proud race - proud but not arrogant - the long-standing cultural heritage and the strong natural power make this race as confident as the Gondor humans of the year, and full of a certain sense of responsibility, since the destruction of the Gondor Empire, The bipolar civilization of the entire continent collapsed in half, and the Silver Empire became the defender of the magnificent wall and the monitor of the wasteland driven by the sense of responsibility of the great power. Duke Ferdinand knew very well that the proud elves would never have sent messengers to warn the nations—and ask for help—if the barrier had not really gone terribly wrong.

The Grand Duke paid attention to Emperor Rosetta's expression. From His Majesty's expression, he knew that the other party had confirmed the truth of what the elf said, so he turned to look at Shiva: "Your plan is to reinforce the barrier - so specific. How to strengthen it? What exactly do you want us to do?"

"We plan to set up augmentation devices near several major sentry towers. We have the technology for augmentation devices, but we don't have enough manpower and resources - even if there are enough manpower and resources, we don't have time to allocate them to the entire grandeur The Wall," said the elves envoy, "the wasteland in the middle of the continent blocks traffic, and it takes a long way to go from the Silver Empire to the northern part of the continent. We arrived here within half a month by taking a giant eagle— — but the giant eagle cannot be used to transport large quantities of goods.”

At this time, Rosetta Augustus finally spoke up: "Typhon is happy to repair that barrier, after all, that barrier is our lifeblood - but what about other countries?"

"We have sent messengers to every human kingdom," Shiva said. "The messenger sent to the Ogure Tribal Kingdom should have arrived a few days ago, and the messenger sent to Anzu left earlier than us, and it should also be now. arrive."

"The Ogure Tribe has been paying attention to the Great Wall for many years, and they should respond to your warnings soon, but Anzu..." Emperor Rosetta said in a low voice, "The country is in a civil strife, I It is not known if they will still be able to fulfill their holy covenant duties."

"...We have received news about this," Shiva was silent for a moment, and said regretfully. Due to the existence of the communication network of the magnificent wall, the elves are relatively well-informed about the news of the entire continent. The Ansu civil war has long been It was introduced to the Silver Empire half a year ago, "We are very sorry for this, the descendants of former allies should not be opposed to this point... But in any case, the safety of the magnificent wall is a matter of life and death for civilization, they should know... Now is not the time to continue the civil war when."

"As you said, the people of the four human kingdoms are all descendants of the Gondor Empire. The ancient glory of the ancestors should not be dusted by prejudice and shortsightedness. I believe that those glorious bloodlines are still flowing in the veins of the Ansu people - as long as they still They will know what to do without completely forgetting all of this," Rosetta Augustus said solemnly, and then stood up, "As for Typhon...we will fulfill our sacred covenant duties, to repair that barrier.

"

The elf envoy stood up and bent down in front of Emperor Rosetta: "You are worthy of the name of Augustus."

Rosetta nodded: "Envoys please go to rest first, I want to discuss the specific material transfer and personnel arrangement with my advisor."

Several elf envoys left under the guidance of the waiter, and for a time only Emperor Typhon and Duke Ferdinand were left in the reception room.

The emperor sat back on his chair, and his upper body was deeply immersed in the shadow of the back of the chair: "Qing Pei Dinan, do you think the situation of the magnificent wall has deteriorated to this point?"

"The elves don't joke about this - and with their style, they wouldn't have come to the human kingdoms for help if the barrier had not deteriorated to a certain extent."

"I think so too," Rosetta nodded slightly. "The astrologers reported unusual changes in the sun, and the garrison at the border also witnessed the changes in the magnificent wall. The evidence is all there and cannot be ignored."

"Then we are really going to..."

"Fulfilling the Holy Covenant, there is no doubt about it," Rosetta said, "I have seen the blueprints brought by the elves. The restoration work in charge of Typhon will be divided into two parts, one part is in the southwest, and I will assign Duke Seven to go there. , and the other part is in the northwest, near Winter Wolf Keep - I'll go there myself."

Pei Dinan was stunned for a moment and looked surprised: "Your Majesty, do you want to go in person?"

"That's right," Rosetta nodded slightly. "That tower is where the first emperor Typhon died, so I have to go there myself."

This is an irresistible reason.

Seven hundred years ago, when the Four Kingdoms were initially determined, the human territory was far from being as safe as it is today. In order to stop the wasteland that was constantly infiltrating outwards, the elves and other countries joined forces to build today’s magnificent wall, one of which is a key node in the northwest of Typhon. Frontier - The Sentinel Tower on the key node was built for three years. It was the last completed Sentinel Tower, and it was also the last step in the closing of the entire magnificent wall. For this last step, Typhon paid the most. Painful price.

When each section of the magnificent wall was activated one by one, and the chaotic magic energy and endless distortion monsters in the wasteland were blocked on the scorched earth, the magic tide force once made the biggest counterattack, the chaos magic with nowhere to go. Neng and the aberrations flocked to the last gap on the barrier, and launched a fierce battle with the combined forces of humans and elves on the northwest frontier of Typhon. Staying in the footsteps of the aberrations' attack, in order to buy time for the elf technicians to activate the tower, the entire knights of the guards led by the first emperor Typhon, even the king himself, died under the tower.

"Andersa and the Winter Wolf Legion she leads will be responsible for my safety," Rosetta said unhurriedly, looking at the old duke in front of her, "and while I am away, you will be in charge of state affairs, Sir Ferdinand ."

Facing Emperor Typhon's deep gaze, Ferdinand Wendell took a deep breath.

"I will live up to your trust, Your Majesty."

Duke Ferdinand left.

Only the Typhon ruler was left in the room.

Rosetta Augustus sat in the large back chair, staring blankly at the fire in the fireplace not far away. The hazy phantom suddenly rose up, and fell to the ground along the fire overflowing from the hearth, and came to Rosetta step by step.

They condensed into a human shape, with long golden hair, pointed ears, and the same appearance.

The twins laughed softly and said to the emperor in front of him: "Look, we said that there is going to be a problem with that wall, a problem that the Silver Empire can't solve... They really came to you."

Rosetta glanced blankly at the elf twins in front of her: "You don't seem to care that you are from the Silver Empire at all."

The elf twins were still smiling: "Our business goes beyond the concept of a country. From a certain point of view, aren't you the same as us?"

"I'm different from you. I trust the power of the country," Rosetta said lightly. "You're here, aren't you just to discuss this with me?"

"Of course not," the twins' voices overlapped, with a certain rhythmic feeling, "We want to ask you, have you... given up on Ansu?"

"Of course not, but now is not the time to do it," Rosetta said. "The best balance between cost and benefit has not been reached... The blood of the Ansu people has not been drained..."

The elf twins came to Rosetta's side, walking around the Typhon Emperor as if strolling in the courtyard, uttering a sigh of surprise: "Still calm..." "Accurate calculation..." "Full of confidence..." "Unbelievable." …”

In the end, they all said in unison, "You are an incredible person - after facing the truth, you have sobered up to this day."

Rosetta looked at the elf twins indifferently, which was impolite, even offensive, as if watching a farce, and finally he waved his hand: "If there is nothing more important, don't waste it with me It's time—there's a group of high-ranking rangers and elven messengers in the palace now, and they won't be lenient with the outcasts."

The elf twins finally stopped their "chair walk", they smiled, facing Rosetta, and walked back to the fireplace: "Ah, your threat is really effective, we are happy to cooperate..."

Their figures gradually faded in the air, blending little by little with the firelight behind them. Before they left completely, Rosetta said, "Don't forget what you have to do."

"Please rest assured, the end of all things is more important than your credibility, Ansu's blood will continue to flow..." The figures of the elves have disappeared, and their voices continue to come from the firelight, more and more distant and ethereal, "We Take only what we need, and the rest belongs to you..."

The figures and voices of the Elf Twins finally disappeared completely, and the faint magic fluctuations in the room were completely calmed down.

Rosetta Augustus was silent in the room alone. After a long time, he whispered to himself: "There must be... a powerful empire..."

He stood up and came to the fireplace that had lost its magical response and turned into an ordinary flame. He watched the throbbing flames in the hearth, then bent down and placed the fence with sharp spikes next to it. in front of the furnace.

At the same time, in the city of Saint Sunil, the capital of Ansu, a gray-brown giant eagle fluttered its wings and cut through the sky.

The citizens of Saint-Sunil are familiar with griffins, as they are the most common messengers and air vehicles used by the upper class and the royal family, but few humans know the giant eagles from the south - those huge birds of prey like dark clouds Generally passing over the Iron Cross Street and Crown Street, the tail feathers, chest and abdomen of the giant eagle are also decorated with green and silver-white ribbons, and they fly straight to the direction of Silver Castle, arousing the curiosity and attention of countless observers.

Only the person with the best eyes saw the figure on the back of the giant eagle - the elf in that startling glance.

On the upper terrace of Silver Fort, Victoria Wilder quietly watched the sky, watching the birds of prey that flew over most of the continent land on the griffon platform flanking Silver Fort - there is no giant eagle perch here, only the The griffin platform was vacated for the giant eagles of the elves to land, and the white-feathered griffins who were temporarily driven to the north tower were sticking their heads out of the windows on the tower, screaming loudly at the gray-brown giant eagles. Voice.

"The elven messenger has arrived."

Beside Victoria, Archduke Berdwin Franklin muttered to himself in a low voice.

"It seems that the situation of the magnificent wall is really bad," Victoria said with a hint of coldness in her tone. "It's ridiculous that until yesterday, those nobles were still discussing what conspiracy was in the warning of the Grand Duke of the South at the meeting."

On the Griffin platform, the elf messengers were jumping off their mounts lightly one by one, and one of the female elves with short golden hair gave a dissatisfied look at the griffins who were noisy on the tower: "The northern griffins It's really ugly to scold people."

"Griffins have always been the best at swearing," another courier said helplessly. "Our giant eagles probably occupied their nests."

The short-haired elf pouted and turned to look at his giant eagle, who also turned his head and looked at his master for unknown reasons.

The short-haired elf couldn't help sighing: "Bai Chang is so big, he can't even quarrel."

"Cuckoo?"

"Let me tell you, there must be something wrong with my eagle, its accent is really heavy..."
