The Amber Sword: Act 497 Final Battle VIII

"Just got the news, Silver Bay Coalition was attacked near Kanderbeg, so far already has lost contact for two days."

Mangrove stood up and looked around at everyone, his expression calmed down gradually, and then he said. His originally small voice was extremely penetrating. He echoed in the hall for a long time. One person, two people, and more stopped talking. People for a moment have not responded yet, and some people are still looking for the source of the sound. But already gradually became quiet in the hall, this quiet seemed to be contagious, and even Veronica and Duke of Ludwig stopped arguing and looked over here.

for a moment is still quiet in the lobby.

It took a while before someone stood up. -- was a representative of Silver Bay. It was about Desanlo or Swordsman --. The look on his face was obviously very urgent: "Is the news accurate, sir?"

Mangrove can understand this person's anxious mentality, but only greeted him slightly: "It's news from the direction of Yinwan."

When the words came out, the crowd was uproar.

"Martha above, how could the coalition be attacked and who was attacked?"

"If there are these monsters in the vicinity of Kanderbeg, our back road is dangerous."

"What are you kidding, they are here, in front of us!"

Veronica's beautiful eyebrow already wrinkled, and my heart was full of dissatisfaction with these insufficient guys. She stood up against the table, her green eyes were dignified, and when she spoke, the majestic voice was like a sharp sword, dividing the noise in the hall into two.

"Enough, don't make a noise!"

The hall is quiet again.

The female legion looked directly at everyone's eyes and confirmed: "This is another Twilight Army. It looks like they attacked Anzeluta south along the Changqing Corridor. After the Gorgon Ravine invasion, we lost our view on this. Regional control. They enter Four Borders Plain from here, and from here to Kanderbeg. "

She pressed on the developmental crystal in front of her with her hand, and displayed a Four Borders Plain map ghost in the center of the hall. A bright line appeared in the middle of the map under her guidance.

In the eyes of everyone, that line is better said to be a chilling dagger, piercing the back of Babel Fortress.

Originally opposite them, not one legion, the other two. The news was like a slap in the head, so many people couldn't return to God for a long time. Some people's faces turned pale, and they sat back to -- on the one's own seat, which was the envoy of a small country.

But there are also people who have a sense of chance, and stand up and look at the map to refute: "Lady Veronica, Anzeluta's Highlander, no reason, we didn't receive any wind beforehand?"

"We have heard the wind, but we haven't paid much attention to it."

Veronica drew a circle and circled Anzeluta, pointing at that place and saying, "We have all seen what Twilight legion looks like. It is unlikely that the Highlander clan who encountered the Crystalline sea will escape, but not all The clans all live in this area. The clans living in the outer areas may hear the wind or perceive the fact that some clans with whom they have trade links are disappearing silently, and the escape begins ... "

"In fact, they don't need to know what is threatening Anzeluta, but these traditional tribal people are generally very sensitive, or they will not survive so many times after Monster Wave. And the migration of the inner clans , Squeezed the survival of the weaker clans surrounding Space of existence Anzeluta, which produced a chain reaction, and then evolved into a large migration that swept the entire Anzeluta. "

"Hello Army Commander, do you mean that the migration of Anzeluta Highlander may be caused by that Twilight legion?"

"In fact, the scout we sent to see only the appearance of this great migration, they can not go deep into Anzeluta, and those outer clans are impossible to tell them what happened to Anzeluta."

Veronica looks around everyone, standing upright like a straight sword edge, and the sound is frustrated. She advocated holding on to Babel Fortress. This sudden news was extremely unfavorable to her, but the female Army Commander analyzed without any personal factors.

"We may have misjudged and attributed the cause of this great migration to the disaster caused by the fall of Black Moon. And I think another reason is that Crystalline deliberately let go of some Highland clans because they Siege a legion of Kirrlutzian there, and have no ability to destroy all Highlander. "

"You mean that Akino legion may be in Anzeluta?" Mangrove suddenly came raises head.

"I ca n’t pack tickets, old vultures, but it ’s abnormal for them to lose contact with us for so long, but it is most likely to link the two together." Veronica looked at the old partner of one's own and explained one's own idea: "The resonance tower of Crystalline can block the communication of Magic. It is not difficult to explain why Chizhi legion has no audio."

"That is a guess?"

Mangrove's stout eyebrow lifted, the situation can be said to be very bad, but as a battle-tested general, his face was very calm. The general fumbled twice and pulled out the pipe from his pocket before realizing that there was no fire. He shook his head and rested helplessly on the table.

"But it is also the most likely speculation. As a soldier, we dare not pack tickets, but at least we must have the determination isn't that so." Veronica glanced at the hesitant envoys and shook his head dismissively: "They Appearing at Kanderbeg released another signal, that is, we may not expect to be on the Red legion, they may have already freed up, Silver Bay Coalition was an accident for them, but it is our turn soon.

The people followed her slender fingers and saw another line drawn on Four Borders Plain and inserted straight behind the Alkesh area.

The sound of breathing is still silent.

A dead silence in the dark environment.

No one will ask Crystalline if they have such a strategic vision, because the other party obviously shows such cavities in already, even if they are just a group of purple animals with no thought, but the owner behind them has already proven its means. Clever.

A cold and cunning commander, an army of tirelessness and fear, somehow, at this moment the first thing everyone thinks of is Madara's undead.

Maybe only they can fight these monsters?

Everyone at heart can't help but have such an idea.

"Let's vote." Mangrove rectified the coat and stood up from one's own, watching the everyone presenting with a thick eyebrow: "The time is more urgent. Instead of talking endlessly, it is better to vote directly, whether it is There is no need to waste time if you leave. "

This low voice echoed above the empty vault.

Hold everyone's breath.

Stay or leave?

It seems to be the only option.

But at this moment the hall fell into a weird silence. Even the most radical person did not take the initiative to speak out. Duke of Ludwig stood silently in place. He frowned and thought about the one's own decision. The situation facing everyone was so desperate that the power to destroy the world was strong enough to generate shake in everyone's minds, doubting what they thought was the right decision.

Veronica looked at these people and sighed one breath. These people already started to be scared, how could they stay. She couldn't help but look at the Tumen sitting opposite her. This ancient legend rarely expressed one's own opinions during the entire conference. The old man is like a silent observer. It was the wrong choice, staying out of the way, without saying a word.

She saw the old man raises head coming, and nodded toward herself, with a slight smile.

When people start to raise their hands to vote.

Duke of Mehautofen finally glanced at the hall below, then walked back from the terrace and back into the room. There are only a few people in the room. His daughter is listed. On the side is his eldest son and the prime minister of Nederhoven Jr.. Then he is the parent of the Konecranes family who has a relationship with the royal family. The Flaming Knight group vice commander stands ugly on the side, and the old prime minister Nederhoven on the other side. Sitting on a chair, squinting his eyes, as if already was asleep.

The charcoal is burning in the hearth of the fireplace. The bright flame reflects the narrow room into dark red. Everyone's shadow has been prolonged, and the teeth and claws are stretched on the mottled walls, just like a monster.

Duke looked at the daughter of one's own and ordered: "Fina, give up the ring, do you know what you are doing?"

Everyone is watching her.

The depressive Aura in the entire room seemed to be added to her alone. Fina bit her lip, her heart was terrified, but she shook her head.

"Are you crazy?" Xiao Mei Hotuofen Count glared at one's own sister: "I don't know what medicine you took wrong. It is a royal token. Before the arrival of the Great Holy See and His Royal Highness, you hurry. Give it back to the Prime Minister.

But when he thought it was the sister of one's own, he was a little soft-hearted: "In the face of my father and me, the adult Nederhoven will not care about you."

"Brother," Fina replied resolutely: "If you are the Prime Minister, he will understand why I did this. Is could it be that really the fault of me? This ring is obviously not missing, but why is His Royal Highness? Have n’t been on the throne? "

"Hum."

Duke of Mehautofen heavily snorted.

He looked at the son of one's own with a little disappointment. Compared with this boy, he had no decision as noble. But he looked at Fina again, and even had a headache. The daughter was somewhat brave when he was young, but he was too bold.

More importantly, there is no brain.

He knew who was behind the scenes, and that woman was a disaster.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at the old prime minister who hasn't expressed his attitude, that is, this family of people, none of them are fuel-saving lamps. He had experienced The Silver Queen's father and was also the age of the previous generation Kirrlutz Great Emperor iron-handed rule. His granddaughter's wrist was exactly the same as he was then.

Duke of Mehautofen complains about why one's own's daughter is not so smart, but the thought that the prime minister is also facing the same dilemma as -- has a not so good son, and for a moment has a lot of balance in mind.

At this time, the parents of the Konecranes family couldn't help but open their mouths: "Fina Young Lady, no matter what kind of speculation you have in your heart, but you should always hand out the ring first. You should at least admit that it is not yours Right? "

"That's not speculation," Fina was not so polite to outsiders, and sneered: "That ring is indeed not my thing, but it is not something that belongs to the Kirrlutz royal family now." /

"Stop!"

"Fina, are you crazy?"

Duke of Mehautofen and Xiao Mei Hotuofen Count scream at the same time. The latter, in particular, looked at the old Prime Minister Nederhoven with sweat, but what made him strange was that the parents of the Konecranes did not refute in immediately, and the old Prime Minister only frowned slightly.

Then the old man finally opened his eyes. Some murky eyes seemed to contain two sharp swords in the depths.

"Okay, no need to say any more," he said in a gentle tone. His voice was old but powerful, like full of mana, and quieted the room all at once: "Fina she didn't say anything wrong. On her head, the Great Holy See and I only considered one's own, but I didn't expect it to happen. "

The old man stared at Fina as if looking at this little girl. In front of him, this Floral Leaf Shire is nothing short of small. In his fierce years, even her father was only a younger generation, and even the old Duke was respectful before him.

But he is an eagle of the empire. Tens of millions of Kirrlutzians have been sheltered under his wings. His majesty does not need to intimidate an little girl to maintain it. Besides, for him, power and His status is only embellishment. His wisdom, which was passed on by word of mouth, has deeply implanted his power and authority in the hearts of the each empire.

It is not so much the aspect of the empire that made him, but rather the majesty of the prime minister of the empire.

"Fina," the old Nederhoven asked, "Do you want to use this ring to change the noble resolution?"

Fina didn't expect the old man to ask himself.

She opened her mouth, but she was still subconscious. The other party is Delphine's grandfather. She and Delphine are the best friends, but for this legendary character, she also met a few times in the banquet of White Rose Garden.

Every time, she saw those arrogant nobles in ordinary days, all in front of the empire's former prime minister, who behaved like obedient student, and she felt a shock in her heart. In some cases, people's understanding of authority is unknowingly immersed in spirit / mind.

Even if she is not exempt.

Suddenly for a moment she thought that perhaps Delphine's ambition for power, Correct originated from the worship of this old man.

For the problem of the elderly, Fina nodded a little hesitantly.

People are always upset when facing the unknown.

Especially knowing this unknown and possessing a devastating power --

The old man nodded silently and continued to ask, "You want to keep them here, can you tell me why?"

"This is not my decision, it is the decision of Mr. Brando."

"Count of Tonigel?"

Metothofen Count is stunned by the parents of the Konecranes.

Fina already has been completely cut out. She understands that she stole to Flame Holy Ring. This is an act of disgrace, so she must stand on jurisprudence. If you can't convince others, it's not just her, I'm afraid even the family will be implicated as a result.

But for some reason, Fina doesn't have much regret at this moment.

When everything was said, she felt relieved.

Some things must be done --

Because you don't, you may miss the opportunity to change everything.

Fina summoned courage, and his voice grew louder: "I think we all know this. When facing The Silver Queen, it was not us, but Mr. Brando who defeated Her Majesty and saved the empire.

"Wait, Fina Young Lady," the parents of the Kearney family said, "Kirrlutzian is by no means ungrateful, but this does not mean that we must obey the words of an outsider. This is not our personal thing. It has a bearing on the whole The empire and the future of the entire world. "

Fina glanced at him.

The blue eyes had a slight disdain: "We know what is right. The tower of Babel is just a symbol. Its power is not enough to turn us around. But in fact, every Kirrlutzian knows why It will appear here, what exactly does it symbolize? "

Flaming Knight group vice commander listened to this sentence, opened their mouths and wanted to say something, but in the end didn't say anything, only a long sigh.

Fina continued without saying: "Tower of Babel is really guarding the Saers behind it, the land of elves, but its significance is not just -- because the land already behind us is the world of Vaunde order. In the end, our last hope is, but in the face of this hope, Kirrlutzian hesitated. "

"We only remember the hostility and hatred of each other for this millennium, but we forgot that humans and elf were originally close comrades. We choose retreat for Chosen today, maybe Kirrlutzian survived, but at the same time we gave up our last hope , Someday, we will regret it. "

"We can have retreat today, what about tomorrow? Where is our future, and can't we last all day?"

"But what can we get even if we stay?" Xiao Mei Hotuofen Count could not help but asked sister one's own: "What can we get besides sacrifice for nothing?"

"Maybe an opportunity."

"Opportunity, opportunity?" Little Metotofin Count was startled, only to find that the answer to his own words turned out to be the old man who represents the supreme power of the empire.

"A promise made a thousand years ago in exchange for the opportunity for two old kingdoms to let go of their feuds. Do we believe in Wind Elf? We believe that even if Kirrlutzian is dead, will elves pick up our legacy and move on? The old prime minister shook his head: "We are not convinced, so Kirrlutzian cannot sacrifice and give everything for this land named Saers."

"At a thousand years ago, we all believe this."

"If that vow is still ..."

The kings who signed that oath, one by one left the world.

But their descendant are facing the same decision today.

"Child," the old prime minister suddenly said to Fina: "Do you understand what your decision means?"

Fina nodded.

She certainly understands, but this is also a heavy commission. The weight on the ring is more than just an empire. It is also a trust. It is Delphine's trust in her, Mr. Brando's trust in elf and humanity, people's trust in that ancient vow, and His Highness Constance's trust in the person he chose.

She believes that her last commission before death will change the fate of this world forever.

At that moment, the meaning of kingship and the state, already was subservient to the surviving instinct of civilization.

And this is the power of order.

She came to extend the hand, with that beautiful ring lying in her open palm. It looks very ordinary. There is no decoration on the red gold material. Only a flame of Emblem shines in the light of the fire . In the eyes of the everyone who was set against the scene, there was a flame burning.

The old prime minister looked at the ring and nodded.

But then he smiled bitterly again. Of course, the old man knew in his heart who this person was really standing in front of him. He almost never really failed in his life, but did not expect to reach the end, but was stabbed in the back by the granddaughter of one's own.

I really have a good granddaughter.

He turned around and said to the door, "Her Excellency the Great, Your Royal Highness, you all heard, come in now."

After hearing this, Fina turned back in shock, and when she saw the two people walking in the door, she even widened her beautiful eyes.

...
