Chapter 1116, the Big Competition

"Warhammer Throne ()"

The profoundly lonely, yet thriving Athel Loren is enjoying the hard-won tranquility.

In midsummer, all things prosper and grow endlessly, elk prancing among the woodlands, and birds singing in the shade of trees.

In the Starlight Furnace, the fire of Vaal's anvil never stops. The man named Dess, yes, Lord Dess, who has the same name as the ranger coach under Ryan, is brandishing his divine hammer to forge weapons for the upcoming Be prepared for the coming battle.

On the river beach in midsummer, banquets are being held one after another. The unfortunate visitors drink wood elf fruit wine under the invitation of wood elves and forest spirits. These guests will soon fall asleep and be sacrificed to the tree Spirits, to satisfy the desires of these vicious creatures.

The Moonspring Woodland still maintains tranquility, the moonlight is shining on the entire forest, streams are everywhere, the wood elves walk among the streams and waterfalls, and the spellsingers sing the name of the mist goddess Ladelia.

Night Canyon, Skyscar Reach, Heart of Winter, Wild Forest, Pale Hall, Witherlands, Deceiver's Forest, and Pine Cliffs, except for Pine Cliffs, which are located southeast of Athel Loren, where the Black Mountains enter the forest There are frequent wars outside the other major entrance of the country, and the other territories have enjoyed peace for more than ten years.

For the absolute isolationists like the wood elves, this is the best thing. The outside world has nothing to do with us. We quietly close our doors and live our own lives. We really need it. You see, the Knight King Ryan next door will help us Upgrade the original commissary to a large supermarket. If you have any needs, just go to the Oliver Chamber of Commerce to purchase and negotiate.

It is worth mentioning that Oliver is over 60 this year, and he is already an old man for humans, but the wood elves are really reluctant to let this guy die, because it is really easy to use, so they not only arrange a The Wanderer and two wild forest rangers guarded him, and brought him a twig with Ariel's supernatural power. Oliver's body was parasitized by the twig, and symbiosis and death came to continue his life. The wood elf let him He can live an extra 20 or 30 years, so that he has time to train a successor.

Therefore, Alaros, who sits as the lord of Tassien and is second only to the king of the forest Orion and queen Alael, can understand why the wood elf lords are so fiercely opposed to sending troops and participating in this matter.

It's like a long war is finally over, and when everyone returns to the forest to start a comfortable vacation, the annoying distant relatives have trouble with themselves again, just one word "annoyance"!

But Alaros is different. As a rare "fighting faction" and "young faction" among the woodland lords, he is really worried about the safety of the eternal little queen.

After several hours of meeting, the woodland council temporarily adjourned, and Alaros walked out of the wide and deep council hall. He looked at the forest of Athel Loren, the home of the wood elves.

The forest transformed by the Old Sage is bathed in thick mist, the canopy of the oak trees of the ages canopy covers the sky, the forest trails are intertwined, the light of the guide stones is looming in the mist, and the cross-flowing streams are rugged and unpredictable.

The king's forest was full of vitality, and Alaros noticed that the ancient tree man Dursu was standing in front of those ancient trees in the sky. Every ancient tree can be traced back to the beginning of the creation of the ancient sages. Ya and the forest goblins were whispering all kinds of terrible curses and spiteful whispers in Dursu's ears, so that Dursu could keep his wrath.

The Gray Eagles are gathering below, waiting for the end of the meeting in Alaros. Hundreds of Woodland Guards and Eternal Guards are patrolling around the King's Forest. Orion's wild cavalry are running around, waiting for the king of the forest to blow the sound that symbolizes the wild hunt The horns, the war dancers danced in the open space in front of the magic hall and praised the name of the deceitful god Loic. To protect their common home with the forest spirits.

Alaros breathed the forest air obsessively, enjoying the tranquility the forest brought him,

Everything seems to be eternal.

"My champion, do you think we should rescue Alisara?" Queen Alaier flew out of the hall of magic, and Isa turned to her champion and asked, "You voted for it just now."

"My lord, I always feel that it's not good for Esley not to participate in this matter... Little Eternal Queen, after all, has something to do with you." Alaros considered his tone: "If Esley does this, Esley His Majesty Laraeli and Finnubar..."

"Since it's been voted on, then I have nothing to say." Alaire heard the name of Alisara, and her long eyebrows like insect antennae trembled twice, as if she was very interested in this Alara Riley's name. The daughter was very disapproving: "Furthermore, if the incident happened just now, we might be able to catch up with the roots, but now...it's too late."

"Your Majesty is right, it's too late." Alaros sighed.

It was too late when the Eagle came to tell the Wood Elves the news.

Among the high-elf missions and dwarf missions that were all wiped out, only one giant eagle managed to escape in the end.

The giant eagle immediately flew to Haimenguan, trying to seek the help of Haimenguan King Baiernov-Dragonhammer and his elite Haimenguan dwarf army.

However, there is a problem here, that is, no one in Haimenguan understands the language of the giant eagle. In the entire old world, only the wood elves and a very small number of natural druids or amber (beast) wizards understand the language of the giant eagle.

The giant eagle and the dwarves talked for a long time without explaining what happened. In the end, they could only get some food from the dwarves, and then flew over half of the old world intermittently, and found the wood elves. When the wood elves interpreted the giant eagle The little queen had been taken away for weeks when she spoke the language.

When is this? The dwarves had already sent people to investigate when they couldn't get any news from the mission. The entire Eternal Peak soon fell into grief. You must know that the entire Eternal Peak has a total of about 160,000 dwarves. , What is the concept of losing a 1,000-man dwarf army?

If calculated according to Karl Franz's Rick collar, it means that the empire's standing regular army of nearly 40,000 people was wiped out instantly in one day! Among them even included the emperor's own relatives and generals and some of Rick's guards.

"The Asurs will definitely send heavy troops to rescue their little eternal queen. As for humans, we have already notified the news." Alaier nodded: "Don't let anger dominate you, my champion."

Nagash is really too far away, where is this giant undead fortress?

Located in the south of the Roof of the World, if you start from Athel Loren, the distance is twice the distance from Athel Loren to Eight Peaks.

"Now our attention should be on guarding against the possible invasion of the increasingly violent Beastmen and Mogul." Alaier concluded this matter: "My champion, this is your duty."

"yes."

The woodland council in King's Forest has since come to an end.

News of the Wood Elves quickly reached the Imperial Palace.

After Karl Franz got the news, his head almost exploded.

The year 2520 of the Imperial Calendar was another year of disaster.

After the great victory at the Black Fire Pass in April, what happened to the emperor's empire?

At the end of April, there was a severe drought in the north of the empire, and many embankments of the Upper Talabek River collapsed, and Ostermark and Talabek were severely affected.

In May, riots reappeared in the Central Mountain Range. The Chaos Sect was active and bewitched Countess Claudio, a noblewoman from Hawkland. Elector Edbrand formed an army of 3,000 people to besiege the city for more than a month. Countess' castle.

In June, during the lean period, there was a great famine in Nord, which even reached the point of cannibalism. The profiteers in Marienburg took the opportunity to raise the price of food and hoarded it. The Knight Kingdom Ryan was not there, and Queen Suria decided to withdraw from the Church of the Fairy in the Lake It was only after taking out three million catties of old grain that the grain pressure was relieved.

In July, a large-scale locust plague ravaged Ostland, and many farmlands failed to harvest.

In August, the Riker River flooded, and many villages along the river downstream were destroyed by the flood.

The plague was rampant, and strange fevers ravaged the empire. Patients had high fever, headaches, severe pain in muscles, bones and joints, and some patients had rashes and bleeding symptoms.

The emperor just got the news that the legendary Jagged Horn tribe of the Beastmen and the Sterling clan of beasts formed an alliance. Under the leadership of the warlord Groz-Cannibal, five villages and towns were successively destroyed along Middenland Road, and tens of thousands of people died. By the time Boris arrived, the Beastmen had already retreated into the depths of the forest.

Of course, nothing happened in Britannia. The First Marshal Berhemond personally led the army to defeat the Beastmen war herd that appeared in the Arden Forest near the Arden Forest. The famous legendary Beastmen Bighorn Beast The Chapter "Korokka Dismemberers" participated in this war, and the two sides fought a big battle.

The Duke of Bohemond is too good at dealing with the Beastmen, and it is completely worthy of the fight. In addition, after the military reform, the quality of the Britannian army is not the same, and Morgiana led the Lake God Witches and the Holy Grail Guards With their full help, the Beastmen were finally defeated and hid in the Arden Forest again.

Then the question came, the emperor looked at the battle report and scratched his hair.

How many Beastmen are there in the forests of the old world?

The Archduke and Elector of Steele, Alberich Haut-Anderson, once again reported that this year, as many as six tax collection teams entered Sylvania and were declared missing, and the last two tax collection teams even There is a battalion (400 people), carrying a lot of firearms and equipped with a battle priest, two witch hunters and seven or eight vampire hunters, led by six raven knights who are familiar with Sylvania, but in After going deep into Sylvania for a few days, there was still no news. The Elector Alberich was half asking, half warning, hoping that the emperor would pay attention to this cursed imperial territory.

You come to me for everything, right? Let me solve any troubles, right?

Now that the high-spirited and eternal little queen has been arrested, you have to tell me, right?

Karl Franz was going crazy.

The emperor's chief foreign minister, Baron Amadeus-Mencken of Stirgau, and Count Metternich, the imperial diplomatic ambassador of Marienburg, stood opposite the emperor, and they were also deeply worried by the news.

"It seems that the people of the forest don't intend to keep us out of it, 1,000 dwarves, Thorgrim is going to bleed again." The emperor put down the message sent by the wood elf, leaned on his chair, and couldn't help laughing. : "There are so many things that bother me, I don't know which ones to deal with first."

"Your Majesty, it is very meaningful for the wood elves to reveal this news to us." Amadeus said seriously: "Obviously, people were attacked when they passed by the dwarves' territory, and it was the undead who did it, and they had nothing to do with us." connection, but the wood elves must send the news..."

"This question is difficult to answer, Your Majesty." Count Metternich hurried over, and there was a lot of dust on his fine clothes.

"Well, yes, Sir Metternich." Karl Franz motioned for the two to sit down, and the emperor looked out the window. Brunswick was still very hot in August: "The wood elf gave us a multiple-choice question ah."

"It's very simple, we can turn the multiple-choice questions into fill-in-the-blank questions." The emperor said without hesitation, "Come on, send someone immediately to send this letter to Britannia and hand it over to the Queen of the Knights who is currently in charge. Suria, tell her that the little eternal queen Alisara, who was received by the Knight Kingdom before, is missing, and also, make a copy of the exact same message and send it to Nuer, isn’t Frey very concerned about the whereabouts of the little queen?”

"yes!"

A few days later, in the Old World, in the central part of the Knight Kingdom of Brittany, south of the Charon Forest, the Duke's Castle of Lane.

Suria and Morgiana, who are in charge of the Kingdom of the Remaining Knights, have received a letter from Emperor Karl Franz.

"The Little Eternal Queen is missing?" In the office hall of the Duke's Castle, Suria and Morgiana sat opposite each other. The Queen of Knights was holding the emperor's letter in her hand, her brows were tightly frowned.

"Talleyrand, take a look." Suria's delicate and glamorous face was a little hesitant. She was not in a hurry to comment, but handed the letter to Talleyrand.

"Your Majesty, and Your Highness." The high elf, Britannia's Chief Foreign Minister Talleyrand leaned on crutches, and the lame man secretly glanced at the two most powerful women who are now the most powerful and in charge of the Knight Kingdom.

After a brief frown, Suria closed her eyes, and the Queen of Knights clasped her fingers on the table, as if she had understood something, while Morgiana propped her elbows on the table impatiently, The heels of fish mouth high heels under the long skirt tapped the ground lightly.

"Your Majesty, and Your Highness, the Empire has kicked the ball at us. I think, His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire must not have figured out how to deal with this matter, so I want to see our reaction." Lie Lang glanced at the letter, and the cripple nodded slowly: "This is a very troublesome matter. Whether we send troops to support or not, it seems to be the wrong answer."

Before Surya could speak, Morgiana said impatiently, "Why do you say that?"

"Because...assuming we don't take the initiative to rescue, then, did we make a mistake in inviting the little queen to visit Britannia, or is there something wrong with our chivalry?" Talleyrand laughed: "And suppose we Sending troops to rescue, then, is there a problem with the response of the three guards in the evil place, or did we make such a remedy because we seemed guilty and took the initiative to think that we were responsible?"

"Yes, that's exactly what I'm worried about." Suria nodded slightly, and the Queen of Knights thought for a while: "Talleyrand, how will the high elves react?"

"It is impossible for Azul to ignore the fact that the little queen has been taken away. It is reasonable for the Lord of War and the Eternal Queen to send heavy troops to rescue Nagashza." Talleyrand nodded: "Then, whether we In the eyes of the high elves, human beings are wrong whether to participate in the rescue or not. I understand Asur’s thinking. Not participating is a great responsibility. Participating means that we take the initiative to admit our mistakes. No matter how we choose, we have already committed the original sin gone."

"Yes, so I was going to ask your opinion." Suria nodded gracefully, and the queen of knights' sea-blue eyes stared at the cripple: "Ryan is not here now, Talleyrand, he left you to me , I need your assistance in many diplomatic matters."

"Yes, ladies, I will definitely do my best for the interests of the knight kingdom!" Talleyrand immediately bowed: "Can you give me a few minutes?"

"Of course." Morgiana nodded slightly.

The cripple asked for a glass of red wine. Holding the wine glass and leaning on a cane, he walked around the office hall three times.

"Emperor Karl Franz turned the multiple-choice question into a fill-in-the-blank question, and kicked the question to us." Talleyrand smiled: "My two ladies, I have an idea, please go through it together."

"oh?"

"How about we change the fill-in-the-blank question into a question-and-answer question and kick the ball directly to the high elf?"

"How to say?"

"We're like this..."
