Act 331 4 Realm Wilderness Meeting (II)

Under the dark sky not far away, the valley to the north of the fortress has undergone earth-shaking changes in just a few days. The once desolate ridge is now covered with huge clusters of crystals, too numerous to count. The army of crystal clusters is spread all over the valley. From time to time, flying crystal clusters take off and hover over the valley. When there are many of them, they can form a torrent in the sky.

The sharp chirping of the crystal clusters echoed in the valley, making a deafening noise that made the envoys from various countries change their expressions. There are not many people like them these days. Some people have even come to the city wall for the third or fourth time to observe the scene outside. Some people have experienced the battles in the past two days. Most of them have expressions on their faces. Worry.

"Gentlemen, this is the enemy that the Cruz people are facing now," Fiona Niedwin said to everyone standing on the city wall. "As most of you have guessed, they are the minions of the dusk. Facts These minions have already defeated the Cruzes once when they were in the empire. With the help of this fortress, we were able to barely gain a foothold and contain their march south. I don't mean to take credit for this, but I am asking for your help, because These are not the enemies of Cruz alone and his country, but rather, they are out to destroy our world and kill every one of us here."

"The Cruzes are not afraid of death, and if necessary, we will fight here calmly to the last man. But after that, these monsters will cross the Alkash Mountains and destroy the Four Realms, the Silver Bay area, and St. Osol Bringing the hinterland of the country into the scope of your attack. This is by no means alarmist, but something that is actually happening before your eyes. I would like to ask you to think carefully about this issue. Are you willing to repeat the mistakes of the empire, or are you willing to defeat the enemy before this happens? Blocked from the country?"

Little Niedwin's words caused a commotion in the crowd.

Envoys from various countries whispered to each other. Soon someone asked: "Thank you to the descendants of the Fire King for their sacrifices, but what do you need?"

"We need a lot, weapons, supplies and even soldiers. But we don't just need these, we need everyone to unite. Even re-realize the sacred covenant of the year."

"With all due respect, Mr. Niedwin, is our enemy really so powerful that we need the entire civilized world to unite to fight it?"

Niedwin recognized that the speaker was an envoy from a small country to the east of the White Mountain. The latter was a country that believed in the Temple of the Wind. However, this question should not have come from the instructions of the wind elves, but the latter's own question. .

He replied: "In fact, even if we join together, all we have is the hope of victory."

Everyone couldn't help but take a breath of air-conditioning. Although they all understood what the name Dragon of Dusk meant, after tens of millions of years, they had long forgotten the terrifying meaning represented by this name.

The most brutal war in their imagination was nothing more than the Battle of the Saints a thousand years ago. But in that war, the four sages also achieved victory. Although there are no more sages on the earth in this era, the strength of various mortal nations is far more powerful than the Black Iron people of that era.

And this time, the White-Eyed People and the Dragon Clan will also be on their side.

But Niedwin’s words dispelled most people’s dreams. Although some people had expressions of disbelief on their faces, at least they had an outline of the enemy they were about to face.

Some people want to quit because of this, but most people know it. In this war, they have no retreat.

At this time, someone from the Wind Elf envoy finally spoke: "The elves have no objection to this. But there is a problem. This fortress is so close to the border of the Wind Elf and far away from the traditional sphere of influence of you Cruz people. Now you temporarily occupy this It is understandable that a fortress should be used against the crystal cluster, but when the elven reinforcements arrive, who should command this fortress?"

This sudden question made little Niedwin frown.

However, he had already expected it and replied calmly: "I don't think this fortress belongs to anyone."

"what does that mean?"

"This fortress comes from the inheritance of ancient times. It can be said to be a common gift left by Lord Martha to all us mortals, so it does not belong to any mortal country. But it also belongs to each of us here. In this war , we will jointly use it to resist the invasion of foreign enemies. After the war, the Cruz people will withdraw from this fortress, and other countries should do the same. This will be a permanently neutral area, and all countries can send scholars to inspect and Research, but don’t allow troops to move in.”

Little Niedwin paused: "This is also the opinion of the original owner here."

"The original owner of this place?"

"It's Mr. Tumen."

This sentence made all those who still had objections subconsciously shut their mouths.

However, Little Niedwin understands that this is just the beginning, and others may not agree with this proposal. Even if the Tower of Babel is just a remaining ruin, it is also an endless treasure house.

But this proposal is beneficial to the wind elves. Even if it is designated as a permanent neutral area, no one can deny the fact that it is geographically closer to the elves of Saint Osol.

Little Nidwen thought that perhaps this would prompt the sylphs to support his proposal.

Thinking of this, he raised his head and glanced at a tower in the distance.

In the tower, two old men were talking.

They were also looking away from the distant city wall. The reactions of the elves of Saint Osor and the envoys from other countries were not much beyond their expectations.

"It seems to be going well on the surface, but it is only on the surface. As Lord Tumen expected, the elves of St. Osol still lack trust in us. This has not yet involved the details. I am afraid that what will happen next Negotiations will be more difficult than imagined."

"The reaction of the elves was not beyond my expectation, but I noticed something interesting. I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as you and I saw."

The old former prime minister of the empire was silent for a moment before he slowly answered.

"Oh?" Vara looked a little surprised. He knew very well how sharp the old man's eyes were in front of him. In a sense, the two of them once stood in different camps - but in this old man's heyday, that At that time, he was not worthy of being compared with him.

That was the era of his teacher, but at that time, his teacher was just a defeated general of the old man in front of him.

"One of the hunter siblings who has high hopes for Lord Tumen is in this envoy, but when the elves spoke just now, they did not seek his opinion. This is either because they have reached an agreement in advance, or there is something else. Hidden secrets.”

"Are you saying that the hunter siblings who have high hopes for Lord Tumen are probably not really in control of the situation in St. Osol?"

"There is only such a possibility, Mr. Great Holy See, but it is very likely, because even if the elves have reached an agreement with their 'new king' in advance, they will at least show proper respect before speaking. .”

Old Niedwin shook his head: "At the moment, it seems that rather than saying that the entourage of the elf envoy is that gentleman's entourage, it is more appropriate to say that they are monitors."

"The domestic political struggle among the Saint Osol elves is no easier than ours. It was because we intervened in the civil strife of the Sun, Moon and Star tribes that the two countries were at odds. Just two siblings holding Lord Saint Osol It is indeed too difficult to regain a country with just a token, unless the siblings themselves are also skillful politicians."

Vala shook her head when she heard this, that was too difficult. He inquired about the origins of the two siblings, and found out that they were from a very ordinary Orion family in Lantonilan. It was hard to say whether people from this background were educated, and it was even more impossible to become a good politician.

"In other words, it is more likely that they are puppets." He replied: "It's a pity that Mr. Tumen still has high hopes for these two siblings."

"Perhaps Mr. Tumen's instructions are not necessarily correct."

Old Niederwin replied unhurriedly.

The next development of things was just as expected by the old prime minister. The progress of the Four Realms Conference was really difficult to satisfy everyone - all countries had their own plans on this issue. In the early days of the conference, the elves of St. Osol were indeed There were repeated disputes over the ownership of the fortress.

What is reflected in the ownership of the fortress is essentially the ownership of the coalition command. On this issue, even the Cruz people did not dare to make any concessions. The meeting fell into a difficult stalemate after a flourishing beginning. stage.

But even so, the elves still sent an army to join the battle against the Crystal Cluster before November as promised. At the same time, south of the Four Realms, the Elf Army also signed an armistice agreement with the Cruz people, allowing the Cruz people to For the first time, this fortress received assistance from the Red Legion from the south.

Under this background, the fortress was able to sustain itself under the siege of the crystal cluster army. However, as time goes by, more and more people are aware that the crystal cluster army in the northern mountains of the Alkhash Mountains is planning a larger-scale action.

With the continuous mobilization of the crystal cluster army, the number of flying seed clusters and nightmare insects hovering over the fortress is increasing, and the conspiracy hidden behind seems to be shrouded in everyone's mind like a dark cloud.

Under such depressing negotiations, the elves relaxed slightly and made the final concession on the issue of command rights. But it was at this time that the undead army led by Queen Madara finally arrived in the south of the White Mountains and sent envoys to participate in the peace meeting.
