Early the next morning, the morning fog had just risen. Overnight, a thick layer of frost had formed on the dead grass on the ground. When you stepped on it, you would immediately make a rustling, cold sound.
The sky was early and still like an endless sea of black gauze, hazy, unable to see the distance, no wind, no breath of life, only the sound of stepping on the snow under my feet continued to sound, giving me a faint feeling of loneliness and insignificance. Haunting.
But at this coldest time of the day, a group of people had already gathered in Akara's little black shop.
Akara, Kane, Farah, and the old drunkard are the four elders of the alliance, and then there is Warev, the guide who travels between the camp and Lu Gaoyin. This camp businessman who is not often seen is deeply hidden. Hidden masters and little-known elders who don't take care of things are also among them.
Warriv was sneezing.
Then, there was me, the new handyman elder, alternate elder Lena, assistant Linya, plus four coolies-Carlos, Seatik, Sister Sharna, and Sister Karina.
In the entire Rogge camp, almost all the people who can speak are here.
Karina said it was stressful.
By the way, where is the gorilla? Are you really going to be locked up until God’s birthday? I thought of this director who had almost been forgotten in the corner without any sympathy.
“I have been planning hard for so long, and finally the day has come.”
In the silent tent, the pleased voice of the great elder Akara slowly sounded.
"Now is not the time to breathe easy."
Kane, who was sitting next to him, narrowed his eyes. His wise and knowledgeable aura made him look as calm as an ancient stone sculpture that had gone through time.
"Yes, today is the time when the remote transmission station is opened. This is a historic step for our alliance. In a sense, it is a hundred times more important than the upcoming God's Birthday. If the remote transmission station can be managed well, link, then it will bring great benefits to the alliance. If something goes wrong, then the alliance, which seems to be in good condition, may face disintegration."
Akara looked at us one by one with solemnity, and the majesty she rarely showed was mixed in her eyes, making everyone present feel excited.
Indeed, the opening of the remote teleportation station seems to be a popular project. Not only can it revitalize business, but for adventurers, "once you leave this place, you will never come back." This is the cruel fact of being separated from your wife and children. , will also become history.
Although it is still difficult to look back after entering the second world, at least in the first world, during these decades, I can still go home occasionally to see my family and children.
This is a good thing, but once these "returning" adventurers are not managed well and the original good thing turns into a bad thing, then the alliance established based on the adventurers may collapse in a short period of time. This is definitely not scary. .
Therefore, even though the remote teleportation station has already been put into use, we have still delayed making it public until now. This is also to be able to formulate a series of complete regulations and deploy a team that can respond quickly if an accident occurs.
Feeling the seriousness in Akara's tone, everyone couldn't help but look solemn. Even the most indifferent and cold-blooded people, Seatik and Sharna, secretly clenched their fists.
Even if you don't want to admit it, you can't deny the fact that this alliance has become everyone's spiritual sustenance. Everyone here will never allow any accidents to happen to their home.
"That's all I've said. I think everyone has it in mind and there's no need to say anything more."
Akara exuded a majestic aura, gradually became gentle, and finally turned into a humble, spring-breathing aura. With this, she put down the crutch in her hand and bowed deeply to us.
"The alliance depends on everyone."
"Grandma Akara, what are you talking about? These words are too harsh. Do you think we are all outsiders?"
Everyone, look at me, and I look at you, with warm feelings brewing in my eyes. Finally, I stood up first and grinned at Akara.
"Yes, I have long decided to live and die with the Alliance. I don't like hearing what you say."
Kane coughed and said with a bright-eyed smile. That smile contained shocking determination and will.
"If there is no laboratory, it will be bad. There will be no free research expenses in the future." Old Man Farah pinched his beard, and a light flashed in his squinted eyes.
"As you know, I owe a lot of money to many bars in the camp. If these bars are gone, I won't be able to pay back the money. It's not my style, Lord Kasha, to not pay back the money."
The old drunkard's words made everyone roll their eyes. If it weren't for the atmosphere, I would have stood up immediately and asked her to pay back the money she owed me with interest.
"With the alliance gone, the place where I used to drink and fight will no longer be found. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no." Seattle Ke is a real person.
"But according to the instructions of the Great Elder Akara." Carlos smiled lightly.
"As long as I'm not with this old daughter, I don't care." Sister Sharna looked contemptuously at the old drunkard.
"What did you say?" The old drunkard was about to get angry when he was glared at by Akara with a stern look.
"Hmph, that's good, Akara, I don't want to work with those stinky girls who don't even know how to drink milk." The old drunkard took a breath and then let out a disdainful laugh like a queen.
This mother and daughter are not done yet.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two started to become tense, everyone present looked helpless.
"Kasha, Farah, Seatik, Karina."
"yes."
The four people named by Akara all took a step forward.
"The security of the teleportation array is a problem for you all."
"Don't worry." The four of them said in unison.
"Carlos, Wu, Sharna."
When our names were called, we took a step forward and waited for Akara's order with a confident look on our faces.
"The security of the new district will be left to you three."
"No problem" we replied with a loud voice that filled the sky.
"Variv."
"yes."
"I'll leave all the arrangements with the merchant to you."
"a piece of cake."
Warev showed a generous smile. For this traveling businessman who had been traveling between the camp and Lugaoin for decades, this task was most suitable, and he had to do it.
"Lena, Linya."
The two girls took a step forward.
"You two will be solely responsible for the affairs in the new district."
"Yes, Lord Akara."
Lena and Linya, who already knew their missions, smiled quietly, their eyes calm and confident.
"Kain and I are responsible for all conditions in the camp. Do you have any objections?"
Akara's white eyes flashed with sharp color, scanning us one by one.
"No" everyone said in unison.
"very good."
Akara nodded and closed her eyes gently, as if she was reminiscing or closing her eyes to relax. No one disturbed her. In an instant, the atmosphere in the tent changed from the solemn one just now to the silence now.
In less than a moment, the ground began to rumble, as if thousands of troops were rushing towards this direction.
Everyone remained calm and allowed the commotion to continue, from a slight vibration to the cup on the coffee table next to it shaking violently and tea spilling, and then calming down again. During the whole process, no one said a word or even blinked an eyelid.
"alright."
Akara opened her eyes and showed a contagious confident and proud smile. Like a king, she walked slowly on crutches on the road that everyone gave way to. Her large and simple nun's robe swelled in the wind and was cold. Flying.
Kane, Farah, Kasha... everyone gathered tightly behind her, stepped out of the tent, and stood in awe.
In all directions around us, what was once a wide open space was now crowded with people, and in the gray and hazy morning light, it looked like a dark ocean.
Tens of thousands of Rogge soldiers in the entire camp, all gathered here at this moment, with long bows on their backs, leather armors on their backs, and sharp spears in their hands, arranged in order, and silently focused their eyes on Akala, between heaven and earth. It was filled with an exciting momentum of fighting spirit.
"Everyone"
A majestic and solemn voice sounded, and Akara, who was standing in front, took a step forward again, facing down the tens of thousands of outstanding warriors in front of him, holding the crutch in his hand high, with a calm expression and high momentum.
At this moment, she was no longer the usual elder, benevolent person, old man, but a high-ranking leader and king.
"Everyone, thank you, thank you for coming today, and thank you for your silent contributions to the camp and the alliance. Because of you, the people can be peaceful, and adventurers can go out and experience in peace. You are the alliance is proud of. Soldiers, even in front of adventurers, can hold their heads high and say, I am a hero of the alliance just like you."
The calm, majestic, and long voice slowly echoed over the entire grassland. It can be seen that with Akara's high-spirited speech, the fighting spirit of tens of thousands of soldiers has been continuously increasing, and finally condensed into a group, forming the first wave above their heads. The two skies are as hot as flames. They are formed by the aura of tens of thousands of warriors. Even the strong ones at the domain level must avoid its sharp [situation].
With just these words, Akara integrated tens of thousands of soldiers, their breathing, their heartbeats, and their fighting spirit. This is the art of leadership.
"Everyone standing here includes old people and newcomers. However, whether they are veteran warriors who have dedicated their lives to the alliance or new warriors full of vigor, everyone should have seen it and can clearly feel the impact of the past ten years. , the alliance continues to change, we have repelled the siege of monsters time and time again, and survived the most difficult period. We have unlocked the seal of the Horadric tribe, gained powerful and reliable comrades, and supported the elves. Together with the elves who have been hostile to each other for tens of thousands of years, we have taken the first step towards understanding. The friendship we gained from the dwarves in the Demon Fortress formed an alliance with the foxmen and werewolves in Harrogath. By our side, there are countless outstanding and outstanding people. Powerful warriors are gathering. The unprecedented fierce and high-level martial arts competition three years ago is the best proof that in the end, we have completed the mission that our ancestors have been unable to complete for tens of thousands of years. Our mortal elders and Her Majesty the Queen of the Elf Tribe They got married and wrote a new chapter in the history of turning enemies into friends.
Even, I think everyone has heard the rumors more or less. In the second world, we resolved the conspiracy of the illusory and conspiratorial Demon King Belial, prevented the invasion of monsters from the third world, and defeated the third world. Elite-level monsters, lord-level monsters, and even devil-level monsters all fell at our feet.
We are constantly turning over a new page in history, leaving our own footsteps in future history books, making continuous progress and becoming stronger.”
As Akara's declaration became more and more passionate, the whole world formed a force that became stronger and heavier. Even Carlos, Seatik and Sister Sharna on the side were moved by this force, which was composed of tens of thousands of soldiers. He blushed because of the powerful force he had become, and sweat poured down his forehead. He clenched his fists, resisting the surge of momentum in his body, and wanted to burst out of his body to fight against it.
After pausing for a moment, let the terrifying momentum that had become fierce due to the passionate speech just now, domineering and fierce, like the terrifying momentum that made the entire sky burn, cooled down slightly, became more solid and solid, and at this time, Akara He continued in a slow and long voice again.
"Everyone, now the time has come again. With the opening of the remote transmission station, there is no doubt that this will be a new page in history, and your names will be engraved on this page and completed by everyone. Tell me, everyone, Scream it out from the bottom of your heart, do you want to leave your own footprints in the history books?"
A moment of peace...
"think------------"
Like an explosion in the clear sky, the momentum in the sky almost condensed into substance. In this crazy cry, it burst out, from the Rogge camp, to the bloody wilderness, to the icy plains, to the stone wilderness, and even overturned. Passing through the continuous Maiharas Mountains, reaching the dark forest, black wasteland, Taymor Highlands, and monastery, it reached the fourth floor of the dark and cold cemetery, and reached the ears of Andariel sitting high on the Skeleton Throne...
This sound lingered over the entire Roge Grassland for a long time, echoing for more than half an hour.
Is this... considered disturbing the public? How many sleeping children must have been so frightened by this sound that they peed their pants.
Even though I had prepared my ears and blocked them, when the sound gradually died down, I was still deafened and my brain was buzzing.
The one who was most stimulated was Seattle. In front of this shout, the barbarian's shout was simply too weak. At this time, he looked in a daze, muttering something in his mouth, or he was stunned. Or I found some new inspiration from this unprecedented and huge cry. From what I know about him, it is definitely the latter.
"Very good, very good. I hope you all can remember this momentum. As long as this momentum lasts, there is nothing to fear in this world, whether it is the Four Demon Kings or the Three Demon Gods."
"The alliance is invincible..."
"Long live Lord Akara"
"Long live Lord Kane"
"Long live my lord"
"Long live Queen Sharna"
A chaotic cheer spread everywhere, and these sounds were mixed in with the deafening noise. Finally, they were recognized by everyone and became the main theme of the cheer.
"I said……"
The backs of the old man Farah and the old drunkard next to him showed a pale tone, as if they were burned pieces of paper, full of loneliness and confusion that were rejected by the world.
"What have the two of us done over the years..."
"Yes... we are obviously elders too... why..."
"That's all the others, why even that stinky girl..."
"What did we do wrong..."
"That's right, we are also working hard for the future of the camp..."
"It's not us that's wrong, it's the world."
There was such a bloody conversation coming from the side. At this time, are these two old bastards still unwilling to repent for all the crimes they have committed in the camp over the years?
The cheers continued for more than ten minutes before Akara gently raised her hands and pressed them down slightly to signal everyone to calm down. With her movement, the loud noise that was originally like a vegetable market suddenly disappeared. , as if the sound that had just damaged the eardrums was illusory.
Akala's reputation in the camp and in the minds of these soldiers is evident.
"Old lady, I'm old and can't fully enjoy this passion with you. The future stage still belongs to you young people, so please allow me to take a breath and let the people who can truly represent you and lead you come up and say a few words. A word."
After finishing speaking, Akara waved to everyone with a smile, turned around and walked slowly back towards us with a cane.
Oh, is this the so-called "Deputy Director's Ten Minutes"?
Muttering secretly in my mind, I turned my head and blinked desperately at Lena on the side.
Alternate Great Elder, it’s your turn to appear.
Unexpectedly, Lena also stared at me with her beautiful light gray pupils. Her eyes full of smartness kept blinking, making the same movements as me and expressing the same meaning.
What are you talking about? You are the future great elder and Akara's successor. At this time, of course it is your turn to take the stage, right?
Trying to gain support from the others, I turned my eyes around and froze.
Akara, Kane, Carlos, Sister Sharna...even old man Farah, the old drunkard, all of them showed expressions that were taken for granted...
I... I said, why are you all... staring at me with such penetrating eyes?
Not only that, after turning my eyes back in a circle and facing straight ahead, I suddenly found that tens of thousands of pairs of scorching eyes were all focused on me...
I am very happy today. I have received many, many birthday wishes. Everyone gave Xiao Qi the happiest birthday. Although words cannot express Xiao Qi’s gratitude, Xiao Qi still wants to say: Thank you, thank you very much. Everyone V
