The war in the north was eroding faster than Dwek could have imagined. Vinal, deployed with elite Mage Towers, a large number of magicians, an entire legion, and tens of thousands of people, could not even last two days.
In the morning, the mage tower reported to the royal city that they had used summons to fight off the impregnated spirits that were several times their own size. Solon was filled with joy. Shortly after nightfall, the urgent report that the city was about to be destroyed sent chills all over the body of everyone who had just breathed a sigh of relief.
Amidst the criticism from the nobles about Theodore's unfavorable resistance, Dewek remained absolutely calm. He clearly realized that Theodore had achieved the limit of what he could do - 10,000 sergeants against the island-like Wenar It's a drop in the bucket, they face enemies that are dozens, or even hundreds of times larger than them.
The vast northern territory of the empire has lost all contact and can be confirmed to have been completely lost. The huge population in this vast land...
Dewek's scalp was numb.
Even under the most ideal circumstances, there are still a large number of people fleeing into the wild places that Dipran cannot find. However, the fall of the northern border has made the number of Dipspirits so large that it cannot be resisted even with all the strength of the empire.
Five hundred and seventy-two years ago, Melias was shaken by the influence from northern Xinjiang and eventually fell apart...
Dwek clenched his fists. He would never allow the story of the giant owl to happen again to Solon.
This is his empire!
The last time he visited the Papal City was because of Laurende's death. Dwek secretly rejoiced at the decline of the Theocracy. After another visit, Dwek's mood changed dramatically, and he couldn't be happy anymore.
As the first leader outside the host bishop to attend the scene, although he still showed the calmness and calmness of an emperor on his face, showing his indifference, he was extremely anxious and wanted to ask the people of Guanghui Academy why they still remained until now. Only the Theocracy, Sligo and Solon were present.
At this time, rare good news came from the Solon front line. The invasion in the north seemed to have slowed down. Several city-states guarding the border did not see the invasion during this period.
Although I don’t know what is holding back the menacing impregnated spirit, this rare respite has been seized by Solon. Many magicians from various fields of the empire have gathered together because of the strong sense of crisis and obeyed the empire. With the recruitment, the front line will soon be greatly reinforced.
Ravenis of Codzoun arrived late. Although the leaders of the four major powers gathered together, this meeting would have been full of uncertainties without the participation of the various major clans in Mera.
"Ravennis, you are two days late." Noel mentioned casually.
Originally looking down on Noel, an emperor whose behavior was extremely absurd, Ravenis snorted without concealing it: "I'm not as free as you. The vast land means that I always have countless affairs to deal with." Busy."
Noel was lying on a recliner leisurely drinking a drink at this time, with the maid beside him... Call him unreliable, but after the Drained Spirit appeared, his series of actions in the country were fast and accurate.
First, respected scholars were asked to come forward to explain the situation, exaggerating the tragic situation after the fall of the country on a large scale, turning their panic into anger, and then sharing the same hatred with the enemy.
The Quiet Ones went on patrol to intimidate the landed aristocrats, preventing them from transferring large amounts of grain, and promulgated temporary grain price management regulations.
Go to the Mage Academy in person and talk to the chief magicians to learn about the details of the impregnation.
After hurriedly completing all the above, he arrived at the Theocracy as soon as possible to show that he valued the meeting of all races.
But you can say that he is reliable. To participate in such a meeting, he just brought his maid group.
Without exception, these maids with good looks and well-proportioned figures are both magicians and martial arts masters. They are the products of Noel's adoption of orphans after he came to power, and he was modeled after the Laurentian orphanage system.
It has been rumored that these maids are all members of Noel's mistresses - of course, Noel does not think that he has a mistress. The original words are, "Each of them is unique, and my heart belongs to different people."
Noel's maids glanced at Ravenis.
Ravenis looked unhappy and warned sternly: "Their expressions, their eyes, even your mistress, blasphemy and offense are intolerable, take care of them."
Antonio saw Ravennis's displeasure and stood up to be the peacemaker - Antonio knew how cold and ruthless Ravennis was, and he could silence the domestic opposition nobles so quickly without any blood on his hands. few.
But Antonio is more aware of Noel, this absurd and unruly emperor, who always does things unconventionally.
Sure enough, before Antonio had time to say anything, Noel said calmly: "Tsk, tsk, you are too young to enjoy it... Do you know who they are looking at with cold eyes... It's like looking at The cold stare of trash and hopeless waste is really sexy and makes people happier than some of the potions being developed in Sligo….”
Sure enough, before Noel finished speaking, Ravenis's anger erupted.
"What do you mean?"
Noel's eyes widened, and he acted very innocent when faced with Lavinis who started to make accusations: "What do you mean...literally."
Divek, who was worried because of the imbued spirit, suddenly felt powerless, while Antonio sighed, but had to stand between the two of them.
Noel's words are most likely true. He always has some ancient impulses, avant-garde and weird habits, and he is never ashamed to show them... It seems that being despised by the maids is one of them.
But obviously, Ravenis doesn't think so.
As the youngest national leader of the four major countries, he was deeply despised because of his youth, and was criticized by the nobles when he rose to power. Therefore, "young" undoubtedly touched some of his sensitive and fragile areas, and then keywords such as maid and contempt Naturally, he concluded that it was yin and yang.
Noel's maid and Ravenis' royal guard each took a step forward. Although neither side was wearing weapons, their eager looks made Antonio feel that they were ready to start training on the spot.
Although after patient persuasion, Ravenis calmed down and took the initiative to "forgive" the maids for their offense, Noel still had a "yes, yes, you are right" expression with a playful smile.
Antonio wiped his sweat and sat back down, shaking his head helplessly.
I'm afraid it's hard for ordinary people to imagine that the heads of the four major countries would be like this in private. Without the nobles and forces behind them to back them up, Ravenis is full of interest in resolving personal conflicts between them with fists.
"Maybe we should talk in detail about alliance cooperation."
Today, Japan wanted to confirm the cooperation of the four major countries in advance, but the sudden move of Ravenis made the atmosphere awkward, and Antonio had to speed up the meeting.
It's not easy...
Lu Yu, who was in the Dawn Territory, had obtained the Theocracy's rhetoric about this meeting in the past two days.
Lu Yu summarized and refined it, probably "the four-party talks were beneficial and important. All parties to the talks had in-depth exchanges on the current situation, fully exchanged views, and achieved certain results in the promotion of cooperation." positive results, but each has reservations about certain core interests."
Talking humanly is... we have talked, but everyone has great differences, and they can continue to argue about how to make concessions and how much to make...
"Magic tide, impregnated spirit..." Lu Yu felt deeply tired, "It's so difficult to develop quietly for a while."
Lu Yu was not surprised at all by this result.
In Mostana, Sereer launched a large-scale attack on various ethnic groups. They claimed to be a superior race, burning, killing, looting, enslaving and killing all ethnic groups along the way. Under such a bloody fact, each ethnic group still had its own thoughts after forming an alliance.
As the nominal leader of the alliance, the dragon race passively resists, preserves its strength, and consolidates its position by sacrificing the interests of other races.
The Corolla Elves have been in "strategic retreat" from the beginning. The strategy adopted is to drag Selel to death through a long supply line. In essence, it is non-resistance.
Bidilis's stupidity was just right for the newly formed Blue Water Alliance to win a hearty victory, which finally stopped Seliel's advance.
Drained Spirits, no Bidelis.
Through the intermittent correspondence between Sharem and Royer, Sera had already learned why the impregnated spirit had returned. After hearing the official announcement of the four major countries' discussions on cooperation, for some reason, she understood the Yeti's mood.
Serra was extremely pessimistic about the prospects of the alliance, and sighed helplessly: "It is so difficult for the four major countries to cooperate, and the upcoming meeting of all ethnic groups, haha..."
Sera smiled bitterly: "I can imagine that they will continue to have frictions due to various issues, big and small. Even if the situation in the north of Solon continues to deteriorate, they will firmly stick to their own interests."
"How to cooperate, to what extent, the circulation and distribution of strategic materials between each other, the candidates for overall coordination, etc... No one is truly satisfied."
After saying that, Sierra looked a little sad. She walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside, and stopped talking.
Lu Yu wondered for a while, and suddenly understood her depression.
He spoke for the giant dragons when they were under siege and fought against all opinions to provide shelter for the downtrodden dragon clan; a dispute arose between the ice crystal elements living in the snow-capped mountains and the frogmen, and it was his efforts to mediate and promote a friendly agreement between the two clans; the Siren He was willing to give up the activity area near the shore for him, allowing busy ships to sail over his homeland; the elf actively invited him to enter the library and visit the ancient knowledge carved on the leaves; the giant half-knelt, using his flesh and blood Forging the road to the king to meet the giant king; in order to satisfy his little curiosity, the elemental essence rose in the elemental lake, and the brilliant elemental sparks illuminated the earth for a whole night...
All conflicts stem from mistrust, and the person who many people are willing to believe from the bottom of their hearts is no longer there.
That is something that the powerful national power and outstanding strength of the four major countries cannot obtain.
If he were still there, the four major powers would quickly eliminate disputes and prejudices and act in unison with the outside world.
If he was still there, various races would not be stuck in the last moments before heading to the Theocracy without a sense of crisis.
If he were still here, the cooperation between the various ethnic groups in Mela would be much smoother in the future.
However there is no if…
On the day when the glory came to an end, what disappeared with it were the fragile ties that maintained the relationship between human beings and the major intelligent races. Unfortunately, not only the people of the four major countries, but also Lu Yu and Sera realized this at this time. thing.
Thinking of Laurende, the room fell into a brief silence.
Sigrid was puzzled because the Imbued Spirit was making up history: "Were there people like Laurend back then? How did they complete the alliance at that time?"
After asking, she found that Lu Yu, Lulu and Sera first shook their heads helplessly, and then sighed sadly.
Lu Yu said: "At the end of the disintegration of Melias, the major human resistance forces had long refused to obey the orders of the giant owl. They had nothing to lose. The impregnated spirit was in the continent of Melia. Each point blossomed, the original rule collapsed, and countless lives were relieved of their shackles at that moment. The reason they chose to fight was pure and simple, not mixed with interests."
"Nowadays, the brave men back then have gained power and wealth after the baptism of time. The huge interests involved make them hesitant. No one is willing to let their own interests be damaged. Then internal strife will become a reality."
Royer told him that if he could see the snow monster again, he hoped to convince him.
"Your eloquence is very good, you will definitely be able to defeat his sophistry!"
Outsiders may find Royer's request ridiculous. What is there to say about such a dangerous person? The right thing to do is to kill him directly when you meet him.
But Lu Yu read Roye's wavering - he didn't want to admit that he once agreed with the idea of snow monsters.
At least he didn't want to admit that the snow monster's actions had the slightest chance of breaking the invisible chains that were tightly handcuffed to the neck of every living being. Just like when the impregnated spirit destroyed order, allowing people to follow their own will, they formed the most dazzling river of light in the history of Mela, which became the beginning of a glorious era.
"besides…"
Lu Yu stared at Sigrid's dragon horns: "There is also a giant dragon."
The impregnated spirits invaded, Melias collapsed, and the huge Mela was in chaos.
As the most powerful race in Mera, the dragons led the flying dragons and dragonborn to come forward.
The sparse dragon clan used their own flesh and blood to buy valuable preparation time for the major races that were in chaos after the collapse of Melias.
Raging volcanic ridges, misty mountains, howling wolf ice fields... On every crumbling battlefield, they breathed out flames and cast a shadow of destruction on the imbued spirits with their sky-shielding wings.
Unlike the miserable dragons of Selel, the dragons of Mera lead the way!
But…
After experiencing the disaster of the Drained Spirit, the number of the dragon clan dropped sharply. A large number of crazy dragons left the hometown that raised them in order not to harm innocent people, but the remaining, scarred dragons were unable to find peace.
Sligo's dragon slaying was not only the participation of the four major nations, but also the conspiracy of every race.
Noel's grandfather and father both wanted to stop the dragon-slaying celebration. However, over a long period of time, dragon-slaying has become a culture and turned into a totem engraved in the hearts of everyone in Sligo. Even as emperors, they cannot Faced with this fierce public opinion.
Today, there are no dragons in Mera.
The symbols of power that brought trembling and fear to the tribes of Mela fell.
Lu Yu seemed to see the ridge flowing with dragon's blood, raining fire, and echoing their roar.
After five hundred and seventy-two years, the time for repayment has come.
