Chapter 684 Information in the Mist

In the brightly lit study, the ruler of the Typhon Empire and the uninvited guest tonight confronted each other in silence.

In the past hour, Rosetta Augustus learned about the world's most daring, secretive, and craziest plan—the limit of mortal ambition, which made the emperor speechless for a long time.

"In the face of a plan that has lasted for thousands of years, any temporary failures and setbacks are irrelevant. From your perspective, it must not be difficult to understand," Firna and Leerna's voices finally broke the silence, "His Majesty the Emperor , are you doubting the authenticity of the 'disobedience plan'?"

"Before discussing whether it's true or false, I'm more curious about why you came to me," Rosetta stared at the Elf Gemini in front of her. "Are you eager to find a new investment target?"

"Should we go find that Gawain Cecil?" Leerna laughed, "There are not many visionary leaders, you are the only suitable choice other than Gawain Cecil. "

Firna followed and said, "Your Majesty Rosetta Augustus, the heir of Augustus' bloodline, this is not the first time we have contacted, we know what kind of situation you and your family are facing. Crazy Shadow..."

Leerna took a half step forward: "The collapse of the old imperial capital two hundred years ago made your ancestors witness things that mortals should not spy on, those twisted and crazy knowledge soaked the blood of the Augustus family, but you also I can see a little truth about this world..."

Firna followed in Leerna's footsteps: "So, after a little thought, you will realize that what we say is true, and at the same time realize that we should be natural allies."

The elf twins stopped in front of Emperor Rosetta's desk, smiled like mirror images, and said in unison: "You need to fight the madness brought by the gods, we need new allies, we need each other."

Rosetta looked at the twins and raised her hand slightly: "Back off."

The elf twins immediately returned to their original positions: "As you wish."

"According to what you said, the plan of disobedience is the secret plan of the Gondor Empire and is directly controlled by its royal family. How did you two elves have anything to do with this plan?" Rosetta's face was sinking, as if there was nothing Impressed by the persuasion of these two elves just now, they are still full of vigilance and doubts.

"The Disobedience Project is indeed the legacy of the Empire of Humanity, but it is not only humans who participate in this project - it has a considerable part of the project that requires the knowledge of Druids, and the silver elves are the source of most Druids," Leirna calmly In response, "We were scholars who were secretly recruited by the Empire of Gondor, and served it a thousand years ago, and our work was interrupted by the tide of magic seven hundred years ago,

We had to go back to the Silver Empire for a while, and it was the birth of the Doomsday that made us realize that the business wasn't over - we returned to our mission, to this day. "

"As elves of the Silver Empire, you work for Gondor, and you don't tell your motherland any secrets about the plan of rebellion?"

"... Elves are not suitable for large-scale exposure to rebellion plans, and we have our own reasons."

Rosetta stared at the elf twins in front of him, and after staring for half a minute, he slightly retracted his gaze: "The birth of the Society of Death... Seven hundred years ago, the leaders of the three dark sects were at the peak of the ancestors. What did you see?"

Firna and Leirna looked at each other, and then said at the same time: "If your ancestors saw pieces of a puzzle in the collapse of the old imperial capital, what the leaders of the three religions saw at the Ancestor's Peak was the whole thing. puzzle pieces.

"They arrived in the kingdom of God and saw the birth and destruction of the gods - and the nature of the gods and their destined end.

"The scholars of Gondor a thousand years ago believed that the gods were getting closer to madness and that madness would lead to the destruction of the mortal world in the final stage, but they actually got one thing wrong - the gods were not getting closer crazy.

"As early as the moment mortals begin to think, the gods have gone mad."

Rosetta didn't speak for a while, but thought for a moment, then he shook his head: "I've heard enough of these vague ancient fables, let's talk about something practical - what happened on the plain of the Holy Spirit? What did Death do, and what did those Cecilians do?"

"We have already left Ansu before the big battle, so I'm afraid I can't give you too detailed information, but there are some things we still know-" The Elf Twins replied, "Everything will die and create an artificial god, But this artificial god has been insane since its inception, and those Cecil...they destroyed this artificial god in the White Sands."

Rosetta's eyes instantly became sharp and deep, and after a brief pondering, he slowly asked, "An artificial god? How strong is it? Are the Cecilians capable of destroying such an artificial god? How much did they pay?"

"The artificial gods are fakes, but their power is still stronger than any earthly creature you know, and as for the Cecil... They seem to have allies to help them, but we don't know who their allies are at the moment."

After a brief thought, Rosetta nodded, leaned back in her chair, and said indifferently, "I see—this conversation is over."

This time, the elf twins, who always maintained their confident expressions, finally couldn't help showing a stunned look: "You don't plan to accept our cooperation?"

"Did I say I want to accept it?" Rosetta glanced at the two elves with a half-smile, "I admit, your words are indeed very seductive, but there is one thing you are mistaken-"

The elf twins looked at each other and said in unison, "What?"

"I don't talk about cooperation with cultists - you don't have the qualifications yet."

"Then before you..."

"That's just use," Rosetta raised her right hand slightly, "now, it's also use."

The elf twins finally realized the powerful magic power secretly accumulated by the ruler of Typhon. Their faces changed instantly, and countless poisonous vines drilled out of thin air from between the floor and the wall, stabbing the people behind the desk like sharp arrows. Emperor Rosetta, while they themselves were enveloped in green brilliance at the same time, instantly transformed into small nightingales in the light curtain, and rushed straight to the nearby window——

A series of explosions suddenly exploded in the study, and countless winding and splitting electric lights spread around Rosetta, burning the poisonous vines to ashes in an instant, and then he waved at the two nightingales. With a wave of his hand, arcane barriers condensed like crystal barriers, blocking the way for the elves to escape.

The two nightingales uttered pleasant but chilling chirps at the same time, and invisible ripples rippled in the air, preventing the arcane barrier from closing. Between the splashes, a slender black shadow passed through the gap between the arcane barriers, and disappeared into the busy night outside the window in an instant, while another shadow was captured by the magic cage formed by the arcane barrier, left Chong It fell to the ground after a sudden right.

Only then did Rosetta Augustus stand up from behind the desk. Arcane arcs filled his side. He stepped across the still smoking floor of the study. He came to the fallen nightingale. Looking down at the latter expressionlessly: "It's good to be able to catch one..."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the nightingale suddenly twisted and shook, and was quickly swallowed by a halo of light, turning into shimmering particles scattered in the wind, and completely disappeared in front of Rosetta's eyes within a few seconds. .

Rosetta watched this scene quietly, until the nightingale's residual magical reaction completely disappeared, and he whispered to himself with a hint of thought: "The so-called 'Gemini'...is it just one person? ...it's kind of interesting."

A slightly messy footstep came from the corridor, the door of the study was pushed open from the outside, and several court guards and a court mage in a purple starry robe appeared in front of Rosetta. The guard saw the messy scene in the study, and the expression on his face became extraordinarily wonderful. After a moment of hesitation, the head of the court mage sorted out the sentence, summoned up the courage and asked: "Your Majesty, here..."

"There are visitors late at night, but unfortunately she doesn't want to stay for a while," Rosetta waved her hand, indicating that the guards don't have to be nervous. "Let's clean it up, it's a small matter."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Rosetta Augustus nodded slightly, then glanced at the nearby bookshelves and walls, and landed on the map not far away.

He looked at the border between Typhon and the "Kingdom of Anzu".

Anzu's reign has come to an end, and it's time for this map to be changed.

...

On the border of Typhon, in Winter Wolf Castle, Andersa Wendell is looking away from the combat map.

The Changfeng Fortress and the Winter Wolf Fort faced each other at a distance. There was only a plain between them. The "peace agreement" between the two countries was still in effect. But it was brewing in this confrontation zone.

Changfeng Fortress is increasing its troops, as is Winter Wolf Fort. The border troops on both sides have almost doubled in just one month, and their respective reconnaissance troops are interspersed between the control area and the buffer zone. All kinds of intelligence officers are trying to infiltrate the towns and villages near the border. None of them have disrupted the situation, but all of them are silently doing the same thing - an ironic "tacit understanding" between the two sides. More ironic than this "tacit understanding of war" is that the trade activities across the border are still going on as usual, and even expanded in scale recently.

Andersa is a military general, but she is not a brave general. She can see a lot of information from the trade orders circulating in the levels under her control. The expansion of the order scale and the activity of merchants mean two things: First, Ansu's vitality has not been greatly damaged in the previous war, and they still have the ability to buy and digest a large amount of materials. Second, the Cecil family has completed the control of the Eastern Region, so they carry Only merchants with Cecil's emblem will appear in large numbers in the Eastern Border and Typhon checkpoints.

The young general wolf couldn't help but pinched his brows to relieve the pressure he had accumulated in his head, and a knock on the door sounded from outside the door in time, interrupting her thoughts.

"Come in."

The door opened, and a young knight entered the room.

"General, there is new information," the young knight came to Andersa, and after saluting, he reported neatly, "Another force of about 2,000 people entered Changfeng Fortress from the northwest. The emblem of the Mountain Corps, but the leading general is unknown, not someone we are familiar with."

"Another two thousand people..." Andersa frowned, "... Isn't their mountain corps heavily damaged? Where did they find so many additional soldiers..."

The knight's adjutant has been with Andersa for many years, and he is also an experienced officer. At this moment, he expressed his conjecture: "Maybe it's just a private soldier in the north under the banner of the Mountain Corps, and the Ansu people are bluffing."

"Using private soldiers with low combat effectiveness to disguise as an ace army... Maybe there is a possibility, but it doesn't matter, even if they pull up all those private soldiers to make up their appearance, the number is limited after all, and their supplementary soldiers should not have any more. More," Andersa shook her head. "It's just that His Majesty's order is not to take the initiative to attack until the truth is clear, in order to prevent falling into a trap. We still have to wait until we understand the specific military strength of Changfeng Fortress before we can act. "

The adjutant of the knight looked at his boss, and after hesitating for a while, he couldn't help but say, "General, do you think we will still fight this year?"

Andersa glanced at the young man: "Do you want to fight?"

"Of course," the young knight raised his head immediately, "it is the duty of a knight to fight for an honor on the battlefield - not to mention we are the Winter Wolf Legion."

Looking at this enthusiastic subordinate, Andersa couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

With the deepening of His Majesty's New Deal, a large number of small nobles in the empire were affected by the New Deal, and the traditional life of the nobles who relied on land to make offerings became unsustainable. These small families set their sights on military exploits - on the battlefield Making meritorious service is the best way to maintain the family and gain wealth under the current imperial policy, so a large number of small nobles from lower backgrounds like the young knight in front of him joined the army.

Of course, the magic industry is emerging in the empire now. This is also a way for small and medium aristocrats to return to glory, but investing in emerging industries requires not only courage and vision, but also basic financial resources and connections. This way It's not for everyone.

"I think so too," Andersa gathered her thoughts and exhaled lightly, but her father's face flashed in her mind, "Don't worry, this battle is going to be fought after all."
