The Amber Sword

The news from William is far-reaching for the Peace Society. The following morning, when he had not done so, the head of the Knights of Finn Zan resigned from his post to the delegates of the participating States and left to return north to the Finn Zan Empire. If the defensive line in the north fails, the entire Fanzan area will be unsafe in the ensuing war, the worst intentions may be to exile with the Cruz Empire in St. Osor, and given the great likelihood that the worst will happen, the envoys of the Ten Cities and Ellanta will resign and people will have to be prepared in advance for the disaster.

After the departure of a large number of delegates from the Conference, the atmosphere in Manctol became tense, but people became more connected and the mouths of different communities, which had been occasionally seen before, disappeared. Perhaps it is no longer the intention to argue, or the underlying sentiments of breathing and fate that have led people to find more in common, but in sum, before the inevitable catastrophe comes, people are surprisingly silent and united.

There are fewer people to brag about, but more officers.

People started discussing the future of Warnde pragmatically, and it was suggested that too many refugees from Cruz, Toquinin and Hazel had been accepted today, well above its carrying limit, that many civilians were overshadowed and hungry, that many had died in the previous winter and that many more had had difficulty surviving the colder winter of the year. Even in the summer months, the spread of diseases claimed many lives.

Many nobles are willing to contribute their wealth to the war, but by this time wealth has lost its own meaning, and wind elves are unlikely to produce enough food and other supplies to feed the population of the two or three empires - although the population of the Kruz, Toquinin and Hazers has been greatly missing, and the elderly have often fallen on the path of migratory flight.

Lord Loringdale proposed that the Wind Elves cede a piece of land to refugees in areas east of White Mountain and beyond the wilderness of the Four Realms, where few of the Wind Elves would have lived, allowing refugees to settle, reclaim and develop their production, while also alleviating the problem of insufficient productivity caused by the Wind Elves because of their population.

In the intervening two years, the wind elf's stock of food could barely be sustained - albeit at the risk of depleting all emergency supplies in St. Osor. But the long-term vision of Isdovelle is also clear, and if it cannot cope with the present, then there is no future.

Two years later, after redevelopment, the Four Realms will be able to counterfeed this war--

The generosity and generosity of the Pokémon touched every participating country present, the Silver Bay region, and even the smaller and smaller countries above the Great Plains, who stood up to accept immigrants from the Fanzan and Erlanta regions, and even to preserve the integrity of the forces of the two great empires, the nations of the Great Plains took the initiative to devise a common partition lord to create another Fanzan and Erlanta plan on the Great Plains.

It is an ambitious and unimaginable plan in the history of civilization, with more than forty kingdoms, large and small, taking the initiative of ceding their territory in the Principality with a view to rebuilding a strong empire. No one pushed in the plan, no one retreated in the plan, everyone jumped, and later the head of the Knights of the Supreme Trial moved tears on the spot.

What a civilized consciousness.

This is the consciousness of civilization.

In the face of true catastrophe, civilized choices are not retrogressive, but spontaneous self-rescue, choosing to give up self-interest as an individual of society and succumbing to the future of the whole; because it is out of a quest for goodness and progress that when people are accustomed to everything today, they will not go back to the barbaric age of accepting boiled blood.

Everyone here today, whether it be his nobles or civilians, kings or beggars, sits here on an equal footing, discussing tomorrow, the future and hope.

The enormous bureaucracy that has accumulated in various countries over the past millennium has functioned more efficiently than ever before - only in an era where you can see noble officials so dragged down, where everyone has exercised the greatest enthusiasm for action, and where all the red tape is simply deleted. Only two days later, the nobles of Cruz and St. Osor finalized plans for cultivation of the Four Realms, zoning and resettlement of refugees - the first of which, a week later, had begun to rebuild their homes with the help of officials.

Half a month later, a complete battle plan was reformulated, and the generals reached a consensus - if the worst of the scenarios were to occur, the Krutz, the Pokémon, Madara, the Lions of Tokenin, the Hazers and the Eruins would have to launch an autumn offensive targeting the wilderness of the Four Kingdoms southeast to the Anzeluta-Anzlova line, the East to Changqing corridor - Metz line, the North to Ludwig and the Farnzan South line, with a view to reverting to Krutz, the Plains of Santa Blanc and the Hazer Plateau before a real showdown.

In an era of almost unimaginable numbers, as many as 1.2 million troops have been used in this war, almost more than the sum of the wars of the past century, including even the Second Jihad. In order to ensure the coordination of one and a half million armies under the conditions of command of this era, Brando, at the suggestion of Andrea, the head of the goddess of war, requested, through the witches, that Esis open the authority of the dragon of war, Tiamat.

These thirty-six groups of satellites, known as' Tiamat ’, suspended beyond the boundaries of the Vaughn element, are in fact themselves the central command system of the Landguard, in addition to serving as platforms for space-based weapons.

The Buga and their servants, for their part, will prepare for the army's logistics, with more than four floating fleets involved in securing logistical routes in addition to providing fire support on the battlefield; and the silver wizards promise that they will do their utmost to start production lines and produce more than a thousand transport vessels of all types in the coming year.

Valhalla, on the other hand, gave up their giant craftsmen in the clouds, bringing the plan to life three months ahead of schedule.

Saint Osor, the countries of the Silver Bay and the countries large and small on the Great Plains have offered to concede their private or State-owned mines and mines, uniting their limited resources and concentrating them in the hands of the Bukas. Because only a silver wizard can produce the finest war costumes in the world, and for the first time, these silver folk with the knowledge of the world have begun to impart their knowledge to mortals.

In the early autumn of Rain Swallow, the first group of more than 7,000 human and elf craftsmen entered the cities of several wizards, including Kanaki, and began to learn more systematically about the heritage of artisan wizards.

A month before the war began, the nightmare came from Finn Zan. Though the Hall of Light has tried many ways, the Elf Queen of the Great Glacier has yet to return any information indicating that the Allied Coalition is still alive, and in mid-October, traces of the Dusk Army were found near the Winter Twilight Mountains, less than 300 miles from the Ten Cities area.

Big evacuation begins.

Although a month ago Fanzan, Erranta and Ten Cities had begun to evacuate their nationals in an orderly fashion, more than a tenth of the population had been transported over St. Osor and the Great Plains in the past month, with the help of the Bukas and dragons. But when the real evacuation began, people realized that the time they had been given was still too little, and that a scene that had happened to the Krutz had now been repeated on the Pharaoh and the Wild Elves.

Everyone who sees with their own eyes the tragic plight of the underprivileged people who are dragging their families along, but that is a fact that cannot be changed. Because everyone understands that if they stay, all that awaits them is death. There is only a glimmer of hope when you leave.

The Buga were fully operational, and even before the war began in the South, all the floating fleets - even the Krutz, St. Osor and Eruin - supported their entire fleet to transport refugees, but even so the countries of the North lost nearly a quarter of their population to migration.

This is not just a striking number.

It's a lot of living life, disappearing.

And eventually, there will be someone to repay it.

The news reached the south and people accepted everything calmly. Perhaps in the last three months they have pushed everything in their minds countless times, and when the worst moment really comes, people are ready.

In Manctore, the generals began to repeat their plans for the next war in all its aspects. The Allied Coalition has rehearsed this war on more than one occasion in the Four Realms, and everyone - commander to commander, soldier to soldier - is already ready for it.

At the end of October, seven fleets returned to the Four Realms, and the clouds of war pervaded the east of St. Osor.

It was late autumn, a year earlier, when the Krutz fled their homes like a bereavement dog and came to this strange land. At this time a year ago, the Hazers and the nobles of Cape Bay made that covenant to change the world.

Also a year ago, at this time, the ageing system of the kingdom of Elouin took its final step, and the dawn of its birth was above the horizon.

More than 300,000 troops began their journey to the front line from areas already assembled in the wilderness of the Four Kingdoms, reaching in turn the position of the first assault sharp arrow on the three fronts. Thousands of Bukan artisan wizards are watching the long march trajectories on the ground in the sky, and everyone understands the significance of this war.

The enemy of Krutz was the weakest of the three armies at dusk, and Bahamet, the dragon god of his leadership, was in the first year of battle, and as long as the coalition could break its arm before the arrival of the two armies at dusk, it would gain a wider rear before the duel. By then, the Arkash and Eruin regions will be like two indestructible fortresses, one in the north and the other in the south, resisting the dusk invasion.

Coincidentally, the only two fortresses that have existed since the time of the gods are situated in precisely these two places. But it may not be a coincidence, but a final gift that the gods left to the people of this era. One would prefer to believe this goodwill, which comes from ancient times, because it represents not only a promise, but, more importantly, a constant civilizational legacy of Vaughn. Yesterday, today and beyond, people watched over each other, fired at each other and guarded the world of this order.

But this is just the beginning.

It does not dictate the passive defensive position of people in this war.

Fortunately, mortals are not powerless to fight back.

After a series of meetings, delegates left Manktor and returned to their homeland to prepare for war. In the Bay of Silver, support for the two coalition forces in a foreign showdown is already the limit of what the region can afford, but further productivity development may lead to profound changes in society when the magic technologies aided by the Hazers are fully blossomed, but the Bay states have joined forces to prepare for such reforms.

A gradual reunification may be established in the next two or three years, a country that implements a republican system dominated by St. Blanc the White Wolf Sword. By then, a mighty kingdom that may not be inferior to the four great empires will appear in the Silver Bay region, adding a strength to humanity.

On the Great Plains, however, the work of the Buga and the Nine Phoenix remains unfinished, and they will continue to surround the semi-man army, clearing the way for the great rear of civilization. It is conceivable that, in the near future, this plain where the people of black iron rise will once again be the centre of the spark of civilization - in a war that will not know how long it will last.

The Great Northern Evacuation is still ongoing and will go hand in hand with the autumn offensive, with the Buga most optimistic estimate that it will take at least a year for the three areas to regain their vitality. But for the soldiers of Fanzan and Ellanta, they had to wipe their tears immediately and embark on a journey.

Earlier this month, many mercenary organizations from the Ten Cities region volunteered to join the war.

And as more and more delegates left, Manctore began to restore the calm of the past. The main part of the CPC was also declared closed, but the meeting continued in a different way, although it became smaller in size and with a higher level of confidentiality.

In the Krutz barracks, in a small tent, there were only ten people - but none of them were the most important figures in the war.

Brando, William, Solomon, Loringdale Lord Isdovell, Grand Druid Grey and Fania, Grand Commander of the Knights of the Supreme Trial, Dwarf King California, Lion Prince Neil Fischer, Grand Saint Walla, and Eluin King Haruze. Everyone has a slightly more serious look on their face, and there is no doubt that they will be discussing something that will affect the future fate of this land.

William and Solomon sit on the left and right sides of the long table, second only to Brando. After a few months of cultivation, the wizard leader looked a lot better on his face, but his face was still pale. As for his strength, he had fallen on several levels. He himself said that it was impossible to recover to the past without more than a year of cultivation, and even then, there would be some minor impact.

But in any case, it is a matter of pride for anyone to be able to escape from the King of the Netherworld. In the Age of the Wars of the Gods, every Lord under the Dragon of Dusk was an opponent equal to, or even exceeding, the strength of the Eluin gods, and the gods who died in their hands were not one or two.

Solomon had a silver spell mask that covered the entire hall - although the hall itself was only one table in size. The other seven were not surprised by his actions, and the meeting, although sparsely attended, was extremely important and, more importantly, it hid information that could at any moment provoke the dragon of dusk.

It was only when everything was ready that Solomon said: "Everything you have heard today may have something to do with the survival of the entire civilized world, so I hope that you will at least remain silent. This discussion will end the moment we leave this room, and all secrets should remain in your hearts, and I do not want it to be discussed again after we leave this room. ”

Fania had a strange look on her face, and she asked naively: "Is it to discuss how to fight the dragon of dusk, Lord Solomon? ”

Through the careful teaching and cultivation of Druids, this little girl from Green Village is no longer the ignorant girl. She has been doing important work in Valhalla. Yunnan Titans love her, but she is also not inferior to strong people like Solomon and William today.

Because she is the heir to the Goddess of the Forest, she must be worthy of that identity.

Solomon knew that the little girl had a special status, and her silver eyes glanced at her and landed on Brando: “Yes, Your Highness, but it not only determines our success against the Dragon of Dusk, but also concerns His Majesty the King of Fire. ”

Brando couldn't help but look at Solomon. I didn't think that this seriously-spirited wizard king actually had a thoughtful side. He obviously knew Fania's relationship with himself, otherwise he wouldn't have said such a thing. And it's obviously working very well, not only because Fania got serious, but also because Haruze tightened his face.

Others are more or less serious, not because of Brando, but because of the former. A man can never defend himself passively in the face of the dragon of dusk, but a flavorful defense will never be able to achieve the final victory of the battle of dusk. Everyone understands who their true enemy is, and once dusk awakens, there will be no more resistance in the world.

Their only recourse is the last chance that Lord Martha offers them.

A chance to win the defeat.

“So what is the ultimate throne?” Prince Neil Fischer of the Lions spearheaded this question. As a representative of the Temple of the Earth, he was only recently allowed to join the Conference, but not only because of that status, but more importantly because of the relationship between Tokenin's geographical location and Eruin, who would be one of the most important allies of the Eruin in the war.

It may be said that His Royal Highness was important because of Eru, but by this time it was not in the mood to compare the details.

“To put it this way, the ultimate throne is the supreme authority of the Tiamat Code.” Brando replied briefly.

“So it's Martha's right? ”

Brando shook his head: "In fact, it has far more power than Martha. ”

Neil Fisher opened his eyes and said, "How is that possible? ”

“Our world was created jointly by Martha and the Gods, and although Lord Martha had supreme authority, so did the first generation of the Gods, and as creators of the Tiamat rule, they were actually promised a more important authority - that is, to relaunch our world.” Brando explained.

“Restart the world?” Walla asks: "Is this the catastrophe of the destruction of the world several times in the Epic of Heaven? ”

“Yes, though every doom of the world in the poem of the heavens is brought about by dusk. But it was not the dragon of dusk himself, but a means of self-preservation for the gods and the gods, and that is why our world has survived to this day. But today, even in the last war, after the departure of the gods and the people, in the battle of Tianqing, for various reasons, this authority was mentioned from beginning to end. ”

“And now, the burden of finding the whereabouts of this authority may fall on us, because it may be the only means of countering dusk. ”

Once again, Neil Fisher asks: "Are our means to reboot the world too? ”

“No," Brando shook his head: "Repeated cycles are of little benefit to the world, but there are many disadvantages, and that is why Lord Martha is determined to end this fateful cycle. She may have left us another way, but we don't know all about it--”

Speaking of which he did not yet know, he seemed slightly stunned and stopped; but after a moment of trance, before everyone could realise it, Brando went on to say: "But that does not mean that someone is not acting for this purpose, and you must understand that there are many people looking for the final throne, not just us -”

Of all those present, only Solomon noticed Brando's disorientation and had to take a deep look at him.

And Brando's student, Haruze, noticed that his teacher was a little strange.

But he shook his head, shaking his head as if he were delusional. Because on such occasions, there will be more or less anxiety in each person's mind, and even if the faith in his heart is stronger, he can't help but be frustrated in the face of that distant future.

“A lot of people?” Grand Druid grey asks acutely, “That sounds more than just a dusk dragon. ”

Brando glanced at him and nodded, then briefly describing his experiences since he left Cruz. He mainly describes the dragon queen's plan, the plan of Miss Tata and the Ellenta sages, the plan of White Tiamas and the witches, and finally the line of stagnation, the encounter with the dragon of dusk.

“So," he concluded in closing, "that's what's happening right now - Essex seems to be our ally, but its purpose is to get the final throne and restart the world, eventually becoming the true God of the next generation of Warnde. ”

“Never let her succeed," Haruzer said with some anger, unexpected that the truth about Esis' collaboration with the witches was true, thanks to his continued admiration for the mother of the wolves who betrayed the dragon at dusk: "But then why did the witches join Esis in fouling? ”

“It's good to have it on our side, at least for the time being.” Dwarf King California shook his head and replied.

After a moment of reflection, Isdovelle asked, "What is the purpose of the Dusk Dragon, and in order to get the Throne of Termination, she hasn't even bothered to come to our world, so it must have a bigger plan, must it? ”

Brando nodded and admired Lord Rollindale's acumen, answering: "The purpose of the Dusk Dragon is the opposite of that of Essex. ”

“Quite the opposite of Essex?” The others were stunned. Weren't the Dragon of Dusk on their side? But with your knees, you know, that's obviously not possible.

Solomon had to come forward and explain to them: "The purpose of the Dusk Dragon is really simple, because it doesn't even need the Throne of the End to destroy our world, so it wants the Throne of the End to stop it from restarting the world - because restarting the world is not the real destruction for Warnde. ”

“I see,” Neil Fischer also understood: "What twilight needs is total destruction, and there is no possibility of a resurgence in our world. ”

Solomon nodded.

People had to listen creepy, because they thought the situation was complicated and dangerous, but didn't expect the real situation to be far worse than what they apparently saw. For the mortals of this age, life and destruction, death and destruction, as if the only path before them was how to proceed to extinction in dignity.

The crowd had to look at Brando with serenity and admire His Excellency, the young King of Fire, who had already been frightened by the mere fact that they had heard it here, while the other side had dug all the secrets from the shepherds, from the return of all things to a moment or even from the Dragon of Dusk himself.

“What do we do to save the world?” Neil Fisher couldn't help but ask a little desperately.

“That is why you are here," Solomon replied, "whether or not we succeed in the end, we must make sure that Mr. Brando gets the throne of the end one step ahead, and that all that we do will be worthwhile only if we hold the seat of the end in the hands of mortals. ”

“Lord of Fire? ”

“Teacher? ”

Once again, everyone looked at Brando with amazement.

“Because the key to the final throne is the seven swords.” Solomon replied calmly.

“What!” Perhaps there are more or less speculations about this, but Neil Fischer was truly surprised: “How many swords does the Lord of Fire already have? ”

“Six," Solomon looked to the Great Commander of the Supreme Knights of Judgment: "Mr. Brando has been recognized by Sina of the Shallow Sea Holy Sword, the Dark Sword Judgment, Orphis of Golden Flame, the Holy Sword of the Wind Dome, the Glorious Holy Sword Misor and the Holy Sword of the Earth Harangaya, but in several of these swords, the sword soul and scepter of the Glorious Holy Sword Misor is still in Fanzan, and the jewels of the wind are still unknown. ”

He stopped and looked around: “The kingdom behind you represents the most powerful power and power in the world, so I hope that you can start up and help us find the rest of the parts. The more we find the seven swords first, the more chance we have in this battle. ”

The chief of the Knights of the Supreme Judgment immediately stood up: “The Glorious Sword, Missouri, has always been the inheritance of the Church of Light, except for the sudden disappearance of the Holy Sword hundreds of years ago, and for the first time we learned that it had always been in the hands of the Swallow Castle family. Rest assured, however, that the jewels and sceptres of light are still in the custody of His Holiness the two Popes, and we will bring them to the Four Realms as soon as possible. ”

Solomon nodded, and he would naturally not know the secrets of the Golden Blade of Fire and the Glorious Sword, respectively, between the Krutz and the Finn Zan, which was in fact why he had invited the Great Commander here.

People then discussed the whereabouts of the jewels of the wind, and theoretically the wind sword should be closer to the wind elves of St. Osor. But Isdovel smiled bitterly, saying that although the Wind Fairy is called the Wind Fairy, and the Fairy Ting's crest is the Holy Grail after the Wind, history does have nothing to do with the Wind Sword, just as Ellanta has no connection to the Nature Sword.

He illustrated that the holy gun heaven was out of the earth at Eluin, and that the Golden Flame Blade and Missouri were in fact hidden at Eluin, which inspired many people to wonder if there was still no jewel of the present world wind in some corner of Eluin.

But Haruze, who had never spoken, suddenly objected.

“The jewel of the wind is not in Eruin, Teacher, everyone," the little king stood up: “It's in Jorgendigan. ”

“Jorgen Deoka? ”

“How is it possible that the jewels of the wind are underground?” Neil Fisher couldn't help shaking his head.

“It's true," Haruze answered firmly, saying to Isdovel, "The jewels of the wind are indeed related to the wind elves, in an age when you are still called the fog elves by the world. The stars and moon inherited the division, the wind was the true heir, the Moon descendants were betrayed by the Japanese elves during the war, and the entire community that was struck behind them had to go underground, and they had in fact taken the Moon's inheritance, including the true post-wind relics. ”

Isdovelle was somewhat silent, and the Star and Moon Trinity split was the biggest scar in the history of the Wind Elves, as it not only lost the glowing name of the Fog Elves, but also the true post-Wind Heritage. Although they still claim to be descendants of the wind to this day, they are in fact less orthodox, and that is why they stood firmly by the two Crown Princes when the wind once again became sacred.

Because this is their only chance to regain their honor.

Haruze went on to say, "… that is the jewels of the wind, the legacies of the moon have joined the dark elves in Jorgendigan, and the followers of the dragons of darkness have received them - they have always lived at the tip of the ashes to protect this jewel, the guardian of the tower in darkness - and the devils have changed the truth not just to revive Arkentu, but to give them their own orders to take the jewels of the wind. ”

“How do you know all this, Haruze?” Brando couldn't help but ask with some surprise that, while the priest had been away for three days, his student had suddenly changed too much.

Haruze slowly removed a dark jewel from his robe.

And he pulled it up with his hands and said to Brando seriously: "Because I have always had the jewels of the wind, my teacher, Miss Les Mecca's friend, Miss Kaya, who is exactly one of the sworn keepers. ”

……

PS: I'll make it up to you, plus 500 more. Okay. Speaking of which, I was really exasperated today. I went out to the bank and forgot my card. I came back and forgot my key. I took my key and forgot to swallow my card at ATM. Finally, I took my ID card and found it expired... I was in a desperate, sad mood.
