Chapter 2096 Desperate Situation

The history of Zephyr Continent can be roughly divided into two periods, the ancient period that was destroyed by disasters, and the ancient and modern era led by forest fairies.

The historical traces of the ancient times are almost lost, and all that remains are the fragments heard from the mouths of the four elves of Yadyan.

Not much of ancient history remains, and reconstruction mainly relies on historical documents stolen by goblins and dwarves.

Although this batch of stolen historical documents is only a drop in the bucket among many historical documents, they are the truth of history after all. They not only involve ancient history, ancient technology, and ancient doctrines, but also contain some records of ancient disasters.

These records are of great significance and value to future generations now.

Among the many historical documents related to disasters, many details are recorded such as the level of the disaster, its objects, where it occurred, and how to solve it.

Several of them are related to the vast Gobi desert at the junction of the Three Kingdoms.

And one of them happened to be the place where the two armies were confronting each other.

Under that Gobi desert lies an ancient country.

No one knows the origin of this country, and the literature only mentions a vague point in time-longer than civilization.

The so-called civilization is the ancient civilization rebuilt by the forest elves after the disaster was eliminated.

It is older than civilization, which means that it was born in ancient civilization.

The literature also said that the sleeping ancient country once woke up. The subjects of the ancient country were not human beings, but terrible disaster-like existences!

Wearing armor and holding sharp weapons, they are fierce and ruthless.

They regarded the people of the Goblin Emperor as nothing more than grass and killed them wantonly, leaving no one alive, young or old.

In order to save his people and eliminate disasters, the Goblin Emperor personally led his army to fight to the death with powerful enemies.

Finally, with the help of the power of the artifact and the strength of everyone, they were sent into the underground abyss again, poured with fine gold and mithril, and then buried with huge rocks and yellow sand, and they finally found peace.

"In other words, there is indeed a huge amount of fine gold under that piece of Gobi?"

"Not only is there fine gold and mithril, but there are also terrible disasters."

Master Dewey sighed: "If this friction has the final result, all the fine gold and mithril will be hollowed out, I'm afraid."

"Do you want to tell the Beastman King and Carter Horton about this?"

"It's useless." The dwarf king shook his head: "The orc king is more stubborn than me. No one can change the things he decides. He is a typical person who will not shed tears until he sees the coffin."

"Carter Horton may not listen." The Goblin King also shook his head: "And that guy is very sinister. The more you tell him not to dig, the more he feels that you are lying to him."

"I can use historical documents to reason with them," I said. "If that doesn't work, I can only ask my adoptive father."

"It's useless if I go, it might get worse," Master Dewey said with a bitter smile: "A stubborn, suspicious bastard, there is no way to reason!"

I rubbed my brows and thought for a while: "Maybe I can really persuade the Orc King."

"Really?" The two kings turned to me with surprise on their faces.

Master Dewey chuckled and said, "Yes, Xiao Yi is still smart. How could I forget such an important person?"

"Who is it?" The two kings looked at Master Dewey again.

"My daughter-in-law, the little princess of Dashai City, Cagalli," Master Dewey said, "It is said that this little princess is deeply doted on by the orc king and the orc queen, and even allows her to live freely."

"Well, this is indeed rare in the royal family." The dwarf king stroked his beard and nodded: "It seems that the orc king still loves his little daughter very much."

The Goblin King looked at me and asked, "Even if the Orc King's matter can be solved perfectly, what about Carter Horton?"

I rubbed my temples worriedly: "I have no choice about Carter Horton. As you all know, I have a grudge against Carter Horton. He can't listen to me. However, I do have a candidate. I don't know. Can you persuade him to change his mind?"

"who is it?"

"Simmons Locke."

"York the Lord of Han City?" The Goblin King was a little confused: "Are you related to him?"

"No, I am not related to Simmons Locke, but to a descendant of his family."

"Let me tell you," Master Dewey said, "Simmons Locke is the great-uncle of my daughter-in-law Bai Yunying."

"Oh, that's what happened." The two kings looked at me simultaneously, one showing amusement and the other showing approval.

"Your idea is quite good, but..."

The Goblin King shook his head regretfully: "I'm afraid it still won't work."

"Simmons Locke is an ally of Carter Horton"

"So what about allies?" The Goblin King sneered: "Carter Horton doesn't even trust his own son, so how can he trust an outsider?"

“I want to try it”

"He's right, Xiaoyi," Master Dewey said: "Don't do useless work, it will kill your will, destroy your tenacity, and break your perseverance. Carter Horton is a suspicious old fox. If you can't tolerate your son, how can you listen to the advice of outsiders?"

"If he doesn't know the existence of the fine gold and mithril buried under the Gobi, he won't care about it. But when he knows the existence of all these, they will become a piece of his mind and he won't care about them." He won’t stop until he digs it all out from the ground.”

Master Dewey sighed softly: "So, the current situation is the only way to delay the coming of disaster. As long as the two countries continue to confront each other, as long as they are undefeated, as long as they continue to be in this stalemate, the longer the stalemate lasts, the more time we are left with. The more time you have.”

"If, I mean if, they decide the winner and dig up all the fine gold and mithril, will the subjects of the ancient country return to the ground and commit the atrocities they once committed again?"

"Maybe not, maybe not." Master Dewey closed his eyes lightly and shook his head.

"If they return to the surface, with our current power, can we send them back to the underground?"

"Child" Master Dewey smiled bitterly: "I am not an adventurer, I am just an archaeologist, scientist, and businessman. I know nothing about the strength of my strength. I can only guarantee that when disaster comes to Zephyr Continent, I will mobilize Half the strength of Fort Wych rushed to the battlefield to support the front line."

"Father, you don't need to blame yourself or feel sad. It's my fault. My questions are too difficult, and your answers show your selfless mind and responsibility to your people. If I stand on your side Position, it is likely that only a quarter of the force will be deployed. I am sorry, but I cannot be as selfless and great as you."

"Child, this is not selflessness or greatness. This is just the responsibility that you have to take on when facing a desperate situation." Master Dewey smiled, his smile full of helplessness: "Now we, in addition to constantly making ourselves stronger, , or in addition to constantly making the people stronger, we can only pray that the confrontation between the two countries can last longer."
