The envoys of the mist elf Faf Tanner crossed the northwest defense line with countless magnificent vehicles. When he got the news, Lammons was discussing combat arrangements with Bishop Esscroft, but the members of the meeting were completely distracted and no one was listening carefully.
"It's just a small stronghold, not worth discussing." Barnet, the king of the dwarves, claimed that his height was as short as his height, and the mysterious jewelry and luxurious robes all over his body weighed more than the armor together. Lammons had heard enough of his advice, but no one else was willing to speak except him.
Cardinal Ashcroft was an exception. This person is very talkative, humorous, and never makes trouble for anyone. Even in the Holy City, he is the person to whom most believers are willing to confess. Before he came here as a representative of the Glorious Council to form an alliance, Lammons didn't know him well, but now... "Small strongholds also have extraordinary value." Essicro said with a smile, "Especially to demons, who can guarantee them What about evil magic that doesn’t hide tens of thousands of troops in the town?”
"Tens of thousands of troops?" "Secret Box" Glad Thielmer snorted, "We are not blind. Speaking of which, where are the troops of your Oath Keepers Alliance? I only saw a group of mercenaries fighting Colorful striped flag."
"The Zackley tribe has sent support, and even the king has come personally. Wizard, don't push yourself too far." The king of the Lion Tribe said.
"Who is this empty chair for?" Shania Ravenas asked foolishly, "Is it Lady Yin Wenjielin? She also wants to be there in person?"
The Alliance will not forget the "help" given by the wizards of the school during the advent ceremony. Lammons frowned and looked at them, feeling extremely impatient. This woman deliberately reminded the Oath Keepers, but she was just being smart. It seems that she has not learned her lesson despite repeated setbacks at the hands of the Black Knight. Right now we need unity, not competition over one another.
As a result, some people still took the bait. "Ms. Sheep" turned away angrily, while Hengtong stared at her coldly: "Your Majesty Yin Wenjielin will not take action until Gavash comes to the border. It is your job to clean up these little minions."
"We," Lammons corrected. The discussion had gone way off topic and he had had enough. "There is no point in waiting here. In my opinion, taking the initiative can effectively reduce the arrogance of the association. These demons even dare to disguise themselves as hunters to sneak into the camp and avoid detection by the detection station. Everyone, we must take the gods Is it okay to move the technique base to the battlefield?"
"Ha!" Ronald the Lion said casually, "Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Tower is not good at finding spies. After all, astrologers can predict the future, so there is never any need for it."
"The Alliance has provided powerful detection tools." The Dwarf King claimed, "But I cannot guarantee that users can fully utilize its capabilities."
"There is no doubt." Lion King Valentine Zachary asserted, "These rats used special means of the devil. Although most of the innate magic is still vulnerable to orthodox inheritance, a few dirty conspiracy methods It can still cause some trouble."
"It would be unwise to attack rashly, Your Majesty Theodore." And Essikro probably said this because he was not willing to actually move the foundation of divine magic.
"Is it wise to maintain the status quo?" Lammons retorted, "If we don't attack, the devil will sneak away. They are not the fruit waiting to be picked from the tree!"
"Be patient, Your Excellency." The Cardinal continued to indulge in his role of peace. He no longer cares about the ring competition below him, which seems to be a good sign. Lammons thought that it was a strange thing to have a martial arts contest before the war to decide who would draw the sword first. Unexpectedly, everyone raised their hands in agreement. Now the holding competition between the fulcrums is in full swing, making the banker who opened the deal rich and making the trapped devil laugh.
"Is it possible that none of you want to fight?" Lammons asked.
"You can't say that." The lion said, "Everyone has their own duties. We have just dealt with the trouble on the empty island, and now the main force is still fighting the sock army on the Yinshiman border."
"Washmouth Restoration Legion." The Dwarf King added, "They are the remnants of the kingdom who surrendered to the devil, and they are different from ordinary opponents."
"Ha! That's right. Washmouth."
"Could it be that the main force in the tower is the astrologer?" The Lion King asked.
"Unfortunately, we are powerless." The Lion's words sounded like he was following a script, and it also looked like it: he pinched the script directly.
In hand. "According to information from Mann Vinny - oh, it's my ring - astrologers are calculating the coordinates of Gavash, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has a limited number of people and can only provide espionage assistance. If anyone is actually at the meeting If they ask you about your battle plan, tell them to wait for the star in the fog. Damn it, who wrote this? How do you put the key information in the comments?"
There was a chuckle among the law wizards, Shania from the new generation. The "Weird Expert" glanced at her, Grad's face was expressionless.
"Star in the fog?" Lammons grasped the key.
"It seems to be a prophecy." Barnett muttered.
"Of course it's a prophecy," the Lion concluded, "a prophecy from the astronomy room."
"We need more accurate information to deal with the endless mysterious methods of the demon society." The Lion King pointed out, "Is there any prophetic dream from the prophet?"
"You just want to determine the outcome of victory." Glad Thielmer revealed.
"Maybe I just want to know who is the enemy and who is the friend. The case of Lord Quicksilver and Lord Shimmer is still before me, wizard."
"Secret Box" narrowed his eyes. "Lords? They are just shameful traitors. Don't forget, since Starless Night claims to have seven demon leaders, it means that there are demons hidden in each of the seven pivots! During the White Night War, someone had witnessed Lord Flame Moon. You guys Has the Alliance found this nightingale hiding in its belly?"
I don’t know what grudge they have. Rammons has discovered that the "Secret Box" of the Silent School is extremely unfriendly to the Lion King of the Oath Keepers Alliance. Shania is equally hostile to the Oath Keepers Alliance and the Radiant Council, and the representative lion of the tower is present. Public Enemy of Women also has backgrounds in both the Alliance and the Tower. The Oath Keepers Alliance just wants to maintain the status quo, so as to delay Queen Sita's return to Knox and bring a new level of voice to the mysterious races who are allies...
We all have grudges more or less, the Holy Knight Captain has to admit. This is understandable. If the messenger from the tower was Bai Zhi, he couldn't guarantee that he would still be calm. Knox has been stable for too long. Even the Fulcrums of Order that once belonged to the Great Alliance of St. Mirende, the accumulated conflicts between them have completely separated the seven Fulcrums. If you want to reunite the mysterious realm, the saint can't just say it.
"What does the prophecy refer to?" Lammons interrupted the argument. "When will the war begin? The enemy's camp? The astronomy room should give an explanation."
"The battle plan is of course what to do." The lion waved his hand, "Just wait."
Lammons frowned and wanted to say something, but at this moment a new team approached the camp in a mighty manner. Cardinal Aisikro suddenly stood up: "Fall of cloud and mist."
"Fife Tanner." The "Weird Expert" was also surprised.
At this moment, someone fell from the sky and landed next to everyone in the sky. She was wrapped in a sunset-like silk robe, her arms and feet were bare, and her long maroon hair was tied up with a gemstone tie and firmly fixed on the top of her head.
Bright and elegant, she is truly a dream beauty. When the lion saw her, his eyes suddenly lit up. The "secret box" and other laws are revealed and explored by wizards. Lammons frowned, guessing the reason why this woman suddenly appeared here.
"Lord Earl of Red Valley." Ronald Zachary greeted warmly, "You are as beautiful as ever. Alas, since we said goodbye in Yinsman, fate has separated us, and my thoughts keep me awake at night! Sit down quickly. Come on, your lord, we have been waiting for you for a long time."
Elanor Greengulfen, Earl of the Red Valley, a blood noble of the Faftanna royal court, known as the "Elemental Devourer". When he was young, this mist elf Earl traveled to the continent of Binnia and Io, and traveled with the famous explorer "Prosthetic Hand", discovering many mysterious places. When she met an envoy from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Tower by chance in an ancient divine ruin, the woman swallowed the silver ring that represented the other person's identity.
To have such rumors undoubtedly proves that Ellanor is not an ordinary character. She glanced at the stands and asked, "Where is Faf Tanner's camp?"
"It's located on the west side, Your Excellency." The staff officer guarding the defense map replied, "If necessary, the guide is waiting outside the door..."
"Give the territory to others. We have a new camp, just outside the border of the Burles Empire. It is very close to the coalition headquarters and has good transportation.
convenient. "
"What's going on?" "Ms. Sheep" asked in a deep voice, "Is there a more convenient place than stationed at the headquarters?"
Earl Honggu smiled slightly. "Ah, my common language is very general, which always leads to misunderstanding. In fact, what I mean is that it is very close to the target battlefield and logistics camp." As he spoke, Faf Tanner's army gradually moved away.
Shania didn't understand: "Target battlefield?"
"The soldiers of Faftanna just fought in a gathering city on a starless night and won a victory." Elanor explained, "That is now our new camp." She grabbed the flag behind her and held it with the flagpole. Elegantly sweep away the clutter accumulated in front of your seat. The documents, ring bells, ticket stars, and alchemy projector clattered onto the carpet. When the fog elf countess sat down, she found a plate of sliced beef ribs and a full basin of hot soup in front of her.
Ellanor picked up the fork, put the food into his mouth and chewed it as if no one else was watching.
There was a moment of silence for the big guys from the Mysterious Fulcrum. Shania turned to look at the "Secret Box", "Sheep Lady" bit her lips, "Dwarf King" and "Lion King" were obviously unhappy, but neither said anything. Lammons saw Bishop Essicro raise his eyebrows, but his expression remained unchanged. The lion stared at her.
"Did you fight the devil?" the weird expert finally asked, "is it a "starless night"? what happened! "He didn't even mention the meals.
"That's it." Elanor began to drink the soup. "We have answered the call of the Saints and fulfilled the obligations of the Fulcrum of Order: to find the demonic syndicate and destroy it."
"It's not difficult to find the society," Grad pointed out. "The problem is Starless Night. It is the only organization among all the societies that has a mysterious place as its base. That place is shrouded in evil magic, and ordinary detection methods will only yield nothing." The veteran law wizard examined the Earl of the Mist Elf. "Not to mention the King of the Nameless One. From my perspective, Favtanner may not be able to effectively attack the demons. Your methods are more targeted at underground races."
"It seems you have doubts."
With the arrival of Faf Tanner's envoy, news from all sources also followed one after another, and was presented to the desks of the Lords of the Sky - or rather, the dining table. Lammons did not doubt the authenticity of this statement. According to the intelligence, the fog elves relied on the rectangular ladder to raid a mysterious place at the junction of Favtanner and Bures, and captured a large number of unknown people. It is obvious that there is a stronghold of a secret society hidden there. The problem lies in the source of the fog elves' intelligence.
"Are you staring at ***?" Earl Ellanor had eaten and drank enough, and began to fight back against the unfriendly glances that fell on him. "While you are fighting with your words, the soldiers of Faf Tanner are fighting with the devil; by the time you have finished discussing and fighting to win, the little nest of the devil's association has turned into ashes. Of course, in this matter, Come on, we are latecomers and have little experience to speak of - when was the last time we launched a demon hunting campaign? It is said that it made people angry, everyone? Now it seems that it is not difficult to clean up the demons, the key is to have a correct attitude."
If she was hinting at the Venetian Hunt, thought Lammons, I wouldn't be surprised. Although a long time has passed, everyone seems to remember this.
"This is a joint operation, Elanor, and we will not allow anyone to act without authorization."
"Really? But in my opinion, when people get together, they can't move." Earl Honggu pointed out mercilessly.
Maybe she's right, Lammons thought darkly. The coalition forces from the mysterious realm camped in Xihe, and the arena competition alone was scheduled for a week, not to mention tactical discussions. Noble representatives from all major fulcrums, each dragging along a large group of staff, as if their whims could help the situation in the war. Lammons suspected that the Kongjings present actually had plans in mind, but they just refused to speak out.
"In the final analysis, we each have our own heritage." Ellanor continued, "We are not the same people! Mixing together will only cause trouble for each other."
"There will be trouble if we don't communicate!" The secret box stared at the woman eerily, "If we plan to encroach on many outposts near the target, but you lead people into the devil's town like a wild donkey, damn it. The lord will turn around and run away, or hide deeper. Let me ask you, what's the point of killing mortals? Do they look like drow?"
Honggu Bo
Jue's smile disappeared. Before she could retaliate and turn the discussion into another arena match, Bishop Esscroft spoke calmly. "Everyone, please be patient...Has Faf Tanner captured the lord of the Demon Society, Lord Count?"
"The people from Starless Night escaped, and the ones who stayed in the city were the Lake Women's Guild."
Obviously, wizards have not heard of this name, but members of the Oath Keepers are familiar with it. The Paladin Captain could see it in their expressions.
Dwarf King Barnet frowned, "This is a trouble left over from the previous war. Prince Trolban Drab of Requiem Castle came and took his bat swarm overseas, but the building couldn't leave with him. That place was gloomy. It is damp, uninhabitable, and contains a lot of bloody materials... In short, wanted criminals and thieves fought over it, but the winner was a small group of water fairies."
Cranky mused. "There may also be nameless ones among the water fairies."
"It's more likely that there are fools!" Ms. Sheep shouted. "The water fairies in the "Lake Girl Association" are not demons, at least not entirely, but they still want to side with the association. It’s really hard to understand! "
She seemed to have some connections with this society, but the Radiant Council did not know the inside story. Lammons was not an astrologer and had no personal sources of information.
Ellanor snorted, "No matter what the reason is, the only way to go to the opposite side of order is destruction." The "Ashes Killer" captured these water fairies and tortured them to reveal important information. "
"The star in the fog." The lion praised, "I guess you are willing to share information generously, right?"
Ellanor didn't answer and asked instead: "If I didn't tell, wouldn't the astrologer know?" She looked around. "You're the only beast here from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Where's the White Envoy?"
"We are divided into two groups," Lammons explained. This matter was proposed by the Oath Keepers Alliance, and no one objected, so it was implemented immediately. After all, Sita named "Ye Weston" won the arena competition, so the Oath Keepers Alliance naturally has the priority to speak.
"Who are the people on the other side of the road?"
"There are manpower at each branch. The leader of the council is Bishop Jesela, and the leader of the Silent School is "Papermaker" Pentaba. The alliance..."
"We entrust it to the "Prince of the Swamp" Maria Winnie the Pooh. Barnett added.
Elanor considers the team's lineup: "It's not evenly distributed. Of course, lest anyone get the wrong idea, I have to say they are all very reliable."
"Secret Box" cleared his throat and said nothing. Shania behind him was mocked, but she didn't hear anything.
"Why divide the forces? We have a common enemy."
Do you think of the common front now? "It's just following the old rules." Lammons pointed out, "During the alliance, different fulcrums were responsible for different affairs. You can't send astrologers to the battlefield."
"And today's enemies are very different from evil dragons." The lion added, "These demon lords are nightingales hiding within the order. They are unable to fight head-on and can only play some conspiracies. If the identity of the demon lords can be identified before the war begins, We can change the passive situation."
To achieve the latter, interrogation, spying and torture are indispensable. Rammons knows many cruel methods to make people speak, and is well aware of the effects of mantra potions and divine spells, but the occult realm has also developed many countermeasures to these methods. In any case, since the demon lord comes from within the seven pivots, self-examination is necessary.
Ellanor looked around at everyone present: "Whose idea was this?"
Bishop Aisikro glanced at "Secret Box" Grad, who nodded. Earl Honggu looked at him with his green eyes: "It's really you."
"Where is your information, Lord Redvale?" asked Glad Thielmer.
"About the "Lord of the Pit". Ellanor took a deep breath, "This person is hiding in Faf Tanner's team. He is a fog elf. The water elf knows his true identity, but would rather die than speak." She looked at the "secret box". "It seems that you are prepared for this. The other team is responsible for monitoring, right?"
The idea of school wizards has always been proposed by the "Secret Box" Grad Thielmer. In terms of qualifications, this person is an old man of the Silent School, and his mystery lies in the law.
He is even more outstanding among wizards. Some people say that he served as a servant in the emperor's prison when he was still a mortal. It is rumored in the school that he once killed his second wife because of unfounded suspicion. Later, Grad crossed the path of death and became one of the top figures in the Silent School, but he has never married again.
He was a suspicious and decisive man, and Lammons, as a clergyman, behaved exactly the opposite of him. Doubt can give people warning, but it can also cause disaster. Clerics must use divine magic with caution.
In any case, there were only three clerics present from the Glorious Council. When the "Secret Box" learned from Lord Mercury and Lord Shimmer's mistakes and proposed to divide their forces into two groups to advance, everyone agreed.
Grad didn't answer. "Water fairies are elemental beings, so most methods are useless against them. Where are the magic potions?"
"It's better to use witchcraft. Many witchcraft can affect fire." Ms. Sheep suggested.
"The gardener's magic can also be used. In addition, the Alliance has an alchemical item that can link consciousness..."
War meetings turned into talent shows. Lammons was eye-opening and learned about the methods of various mysterious fulcrums to solve interrogations. As unbearable as it sounds, sooner or later the goddess will need them.
Earl Honggu then dropped another piece of news. "It's a good thing that you are confident, but Starless Night undoubtedly has ways to deal with potions and fire detection."
For a brief moment, the participants around the table were silent. The wizards exchanged glances, the mysterious races of the Alliance were worried, Bishop Aisikro put away his smile, and a few people didn't care. This means that the mainstream detection methods in the mysterious field are completely ineffective. Lammons thought, the devil may be among us.
"Finally we have reached this point." "Secret Box" Grad Thielmer said softly, "Mysterious phenomena are omnipotent, the key lies in the method of exploration. The devil's fire ignites spontaneously, and the mysterious profession is born with it, and there will always be something that can cover up the fire. The magic appears..." He clenched his fists. "No wonder this demon hunting movement has affected the entire mysterious field. Gods bless, we must not let the association master the hidden profession."
"Waiting for one more second is laissez-faire." Elanor emphasized, "This is also the reason why we are eager to attack." These words reminded people of the fact that Faf Tanner jumped ahead, the Lion King, Bishop Essicro, The "weird experts" spoke at the same time, and for a moment, no one could hear what the other was saying.
Lammons slammed the table hard enough to make a loud noise. "I have a suggestion." He said after people calmed down. "Since we want to check internally, we might as well start with the relevant people involved in the meeting."
Ms. Sheep frowned: "The people participating in the meeting are all reliable candidates, Your Excellency the Paladin Commander. The fog elf has already alerted the snake, and our time cannot be wasted..."
Law wizard Shania suddenly straightened up. Her face was clouded, and her eyes shone with a strange light of hatred.
"It starts with ourselves." She said decisively, "No matter whether you are a close friend or a friend, you can't just ignore it! Everyone must be checked."
This woman's mentor was Mercury Lord Rametta, the leader of the dark wizards, a truth wizard whose real name was Pacinis. During the White Night War, she handed over the information of the Silent School to Starless Night. Lord Mercury directly used her actions to embed the dark wizard into the traveling team, almost turning her into a bare commander. At this moment, Shania's reaction was really reasonable.
The lion disagreed: "None of us knows how many demon lords there are, and how long will we have to self-examine? I believe more in the predictions of the astronomy room. Now that the star in the fog has arrived, if you ask me, it's better to do it earlier. It’s best to set off.”
"Oh, what you said makes sense." Bishop Aisikro said, "I think it's better to pry open the prisoner's mouth and get new information before making a decision."
"Really? What if there is a second Shimmer Lord hidden among us?"
At this time, the Cardinal also darkened his face. "That's what Lammons said. But who's going to do the testing? I have other troubles to worry about and I can't be an inquisitor."
"The astrologers at Croyin Tower are trustworthy." The Lion reminded them, "It's better to ask the astronomy room."
"Master Prophet?"
"Professor Larson. He is a student of the Prophet and has given us a lot of help."
"prophet
students have also come to the front line? ” Barnett dripped.
Lammons looked them over. Most people have never seen the "Eye of Iron" Larsen Gallagher. Like him and Shania, this person is from the new generation of Sky Realm. Due to professional differences, great astrologers rarely leave the tower headquarters. of asylum. "According to rumors, there are seven demon lords in the Starless Night. There are also demonic nightingales hidden in the tower." He told his allies.
"Ah, this person is probably hiding among the mortals of his country." The dwarf king shrugged, "After all, a prophet cannot always be on guard against the birth of demons. Maybe this nightingale is just a little baby, but it is indeed hidden in a high tower. ” People laughed, and Barnett grimaced. "I don't think I need to worry about him."
"I mean, it's dangerous."
"Don't worry, Larson won't come in person." The Lion explained, "It's enough for me to keep in touch with him."
Lammons remained calm: "I thought the messenger from the tower was always the White Messenger. With him around, the great astrologer is safe."
"Ah, unfortunately you only have me. The commander really can't escape."
Humph, is he looking for the missing apprentice, or exploring the place where Gavash descended? The two reached the same destination by different paths. When he discovered this fact, Lammons wanted to see what kind of expression the White Envoy would show.
"Where are the prisoners?" Secret Box wanted to know.
"Of course it's at the Asher Killer's place. Ellanor replied, "He is trying his best to show off his talents on the water elves." She frowned. "The scene is really bad, I advise you to go after dinner."
"The Ash-End Killer" is the new generation sky realm of Faf Tanner. It became famous in the war between the fog elves and the Ash-End Temple a hundred years ago. The latter captured Antolet, a city on the border of Faftanna, and seized a large amount of resources. The drow called it the "Battle of the Harvest" to commemorate the victory of the underground race.
However, they also paid a heavy price for the results of the victory - "Ashes Killer" Eshkle was born in Antolet. The war years gave him the determination to cross the path of death. After success, this person became the first Time returns to the battlefield, vowing to take back his hometown.
There is no doubt about the outcome. Nowadays, there is basically no sign of Zall in Binya Aio, and it is all due to Eshkel. According to rumors, his treatment of underground races was more cruel than his treatment of demons, which is why he was called the "Ash Killer".
No wonder the water elf refused to speak, and the fog elf got important information. Lammons thought to himself, even the elemental life could not resist the power of this torture expert. The star in the fog lived up to his name. He was not interested in the meal or investigation, so he immediately got up and headed to the fog elf's camp.
