This sudden news completely disrupted Solderlin's train of thought. The first thing that came to his mind was not just how much trouble the border blockade would bring for him to cross the border, but also how this matter would affect the situation between the Typhon and the Ansu!
The relationship between the Typhon and the Ansu was at its coldest point in history, but even then, there was still a declaration of war between the two countries. The two countries had not yet started fighting, not only because the time was not right, but also because the highest levels of their respective countries were still in the final stages of unification and preparation. The situation on the Ansu's side was still unclear, but on the Typhon's side, the pro-war faction had already gained the absolute upper hand. Currently, the anti-war faction and the neutral faction were the last obstacles in front of the wise and bold Emperor.
However, while the anti-war faction was on the decline, they were not completely powerless. There were still a few nobles with real power who were thinking of ways to delay this war, and Grand Duke Ferdinand, who was originally in favor of war but had gradually become neutral in recent years, would be the decisive factor. His stance would determine whether the anti-war faction could continue to delay this war.
The 'Wolf General' Andesha Wendell who was currently stationed at Winterwolf Fort was Ferdinand Wendell's granddaughter.
The information of the battle at Winterwolf Fort would definitely be sent back to the Typhon Empire as quickly as possible, and the details of the battle would be sent to Grand Duke Ferdinand. Not long after that, the information of the monster attack on the southern border of the Ansu would definitely be sent to Typhon in the same way. Conversely, the Lorren Family stationed at the Ansu border would definitely have received the news of the attack at Winterwolf Fort, and soon, Francis II of the Ansu would also see this information.
While the information transmission in this era was slow and full of loopholes, those with high authority still had the ability to obtain this information at the first moment, regardless of the consequences. So, what kind of effect would this information have?
Any leader with the slightest bit of intelligence and vigilance would realize the threat of the Gondor wastelands.
Seven hundred years had indeed made the human kingdoms greedy for peace and became sluggish and lax. However, with the huge Gondor wastelands right outside their borders, the history of the fall of the ancient empire in their libraries, and the portraits of the heroes who fought against the Mana Tide in the wastelands hanging on their walls (excluding the one who suddenly crawled out of the wastelands after being dead for seven hundred years), as long as the kings and ministers had not completely lost their minds, they would immediately realize that this was a huge threat: a common enemy.
Now, Solderlin only wanted to know how large the scale of the attack on Winterwolf Fort was and how great the losses were. Adventurers were always used to exaggerating when describing situations, especially after he cross-dressed. He could only believe five out of ten of the words of the male adventurers in front of him. Although Solderlin did not quite understand why this was the case, he had to carefully filter the information he heard.
In the end, the number of Mutants that attacked Cecil reached more than three thousand. Among them, there were also large monsters that could cast powerful spells. It was an army of monsters that could destroy a small or medium-sized human city. In the end, they all fell outside the southern wall of Cecil. However, the unreasonable and powerful army of Cecil was not comparable to a conventional army at all. If the army of Winterwolf Fort had the same level of defense, how would they fare after encountering the same number of Mutants?
Moreover, Cecil had experts in dealing with Mutants, but the human army of Winterwolf Fort had never faced the same kind of enemy. This was also a factor …
Solderlin frowned. There was too little information, so he could not analyze anything. However, he felt that if Winterwolf Fort really suffered a great loss, it would definitely affect the war inclination of the Tifeng Empire's higher-ups. Of course, the war machine that had already been started would not be stopped so easily. However, the anti-war faction might regain the crucial right to speak after this …
The war might be postponed, and if the Mutants attacked again in the process, it was not impossible to put an end to the war …
Solderlin shook his head and gulped down the beer in his glass. He felt that he might be too optimistic. He had always been optimistic about humans, but in his seven hundred years of travel, he had seen too many stupid human actions. This short-lived race had amazing creativity and learning ability, but the problem of "short-sightedness" was even more troublesome. People like Gwen Cecil who had foresight were rare in this race, so perhaps the rulers of Typhon and Ansu would not care about these threats at all, and they would still fight …
At this moment, the adventurer's voice interrupted Solderlin's thoughts. "Beautiful lady, you look very worried. Is there anything I can help you with?"
'It's not easy for a burly adventurer to pretend to be an elegant gentleman,' Solderlin thought to himself. He returned a polite smile and said, "I want to pass through the checkpoint and go to Typhon. Can you help me?"
The adventurer's expression stiffened a little, but he still forced himself to ask, "Why do you want to pass through the border at this time?"
"I want to go to the elven monitoring station in Typhon," Solderlin said frankly. He was not worried that there would be any problems if he told the adventurer his purpose here. "I haven't been in contact with my hometown for many years. I didn't expect the friction between humans to cause so much trouble for the elves."
"Err … the pass is only issued to the people of Typhon, or to the aliens and outsiders who have a guarantor in Winterwolf Fort." The adventurer scratched his head. "I have a pass myself, but I'm not qualified to vouch for others …"
"What about your guarantor?"
"My guarantor is a Knight of Winterwolf Fort, but he has returned to the rear a few days ago because of a change of guard."
Solderlin waved his hand. "Then I don't need your help."
Solderlin, of course, knew that this kind of pass usually required a guarantor, especially for an alien like him. If it was in the past, he would not have worried about this. There were many acquaintances in Winterwolf Fort, but now he did not want to deal with an "acquaintance" in Winterwolf Fort.
The Elven Ranger blocked the adventurer's words and began to think of an alternative. The increase in the level of martial law at the border was indeed unexpected, but it was not to the extent that an experienced ranger like him was out of ideas. What really shocked him was the news of the attack on Eastwolf Fort.
When it came to crossing the border, he had many ideas. He could use the skills of a ranger to sneak around the entire blockade line, or brashly go through the No Man's Land directly, or find a few local bullies who had some connections to get a fake certificate. These were all ways, even if he had no other way in the end …
If worst came to worst, he could take off his wig and report to Winterwolf Fort with the identity of "Master Warrior Monk". But to be honest, this was the only way. If there was even the slightest chance, he would not be willing to take this path. It was too f * cking dark history. If it was not for the poor quality glue that caused the wig to fall off decades ago … Forget it, let's not think about it anymore.
Solderlin accidentally thought of the painful past, and he was so conflicted that he almost had a toothache. However, his conflicted look looked like a "distressed Elven Huntress frowning" to the people around him. Her long golden hair reflected the light of the lamp and cast a hazy shadow on the face of the "Huntress". She looked as perfect as a famous painting. The adventurer and a few mercenaries who had just been chased aside immediately wanted to approach her again. However, just as they were about to move, a graceful figure sat down beside Solderlin before them.
"Yo, sister, looks like you're in trouble?"
A clear and melodious voice rang out. Solderlin was slightly surprised. Before this voice rang out, he did not notice that someone was approaching him!
Another Amber?
With a hint of vigilance, Solderlin looked towards the source of the voice and found that it was a female Silver Elf sitting beside him. He did not know her, but she seemed to have traveled in the human world for many years.
She had light blonde hair similar to his (Damn it, it must be real), but she was more petite. She was wearing a thick and warm Druil robe, with an amulet made of oak and jade beads around her neck. She also had a short sword and a hardwood staff on her waist. The short sword was in the style of humans, so Solderlin guessed that this female elf had traveled in the human world for a long time.
Most elves who had just traveled were not used to the crude weapons of humans, but after a few years, they would … Because they could not find a place to repair their elven equipment, they would begin to adapt to the weapons of humans.
While Solderlin was looking at this unfamiliar elf, she had already greeted him as if they were old friends. "It's good to see a fellow elf here. My name is Berna Breezy. I'm from the Breezy Family in Baishi City. What about you?"
"Thor. Because of family tradition, it's inconvenient to mention my surname during the trial," Solderlin said casually while quickly guessing the origin and purpose of this elf. After all, there were not many elves who could adapt to the cold climate in the north. Among the elves he knew in this area, this girl was not one of them. "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Ah? It's not that you want to help me, but I think I can help you. "The lively elf girl heard Solderlin's words and laughed happily." I just heard that you were going to the surveillance station, but you were worried about how to get through the checkpoint, right? "
"That's true." Solderlin nodded. "I went to another place to do some business, but when I came back, the checkpoint was under martial law. I didn't have time to get the documents … If I go to find a guarantor now, it will probably take a long time."
"Yeah, the people of Typhon are very nervous now, as if it's not monsters but humans and elves who are attacking their fortress." The female elf who called herself Berna frowned, but she soon smiled. "But it's okay, I have a pass, and I can take another person with me. Do you want to come with me?"
"You have a pass? And you can take another person with you? "Solderlin frowned." How did you get it? "
