The situation of the Magnificent Wall was more serious than Duke Ferdinand had expected.
The elves were an ancient and proud race — proud, but not arrogant. Their long history of cultural inheritance and powerful talent made them as confident and responsible as the Gondor humans of the past. Since the destruction of the Kingdom of Gondor and the collapse of half of the bipolar civilizations on the continent, the Silver Empire had become the protector of the Magnificent Wall and the watcher of the wasteland due to their sense of responsibility as a great nation. For the past seven hundred years, they had been meticulously fulfilling their duties under the Sacred Covenant. Duke Ferdinand knew very well that if the barrier had not undergone such a drastic change, the proud elves would never have sent messengers to warn the other countries and ask for help.
The Grand Duke paid close attention to Emperor Rosetta's expression. From the look on the emperor's face, he knew that he had confirmed the authenticity of the elves' words. He turned to Siva and asked, "Your plan is to strengthen the barrier. How exactly are you going to do that? What exactly do you want us to do? "
"We plan to set up amplification devices near a few of the main sentry towers. We have the technology for the amplification devices, but we don't have enough manpower and resources. Even if we do, we don't have the time to allocate them to the entire Magnificent Wall," the elven messenger said. "The wasteland in the middle of the continent has blocked the transportation. It's a long way to go from the Silver Empire to the north of the continent. We arrived here in half a month by riding giant eagles, but giant eagles can't be used to transport large amounts of goods."
At this time, Rosetta? Augustus finally spoke. "Typhon is happy to repair the barrier. After all, the barrier is also our lifeline. But what about the other countries?"
"We have sent messengers to every human kingdom," Siva said. "The messengers sent to the Augulay tribal nation should have arrived a few days ago. The messengers sent to Ansu left earlier than us and should have arrived by now."
"The Ogorei Tribal Nation has been paying attention to the Great Wall for many years. They should respond to your warning soon, but the Ansu …" Emperor Rosetta said in a low voice. "That nation is in civil strife. I don't know if they can still fulfill the duties of the Sacred Covenant."
"… We have received news of this," Siva said regretfully after a moment of silence. Due to the existence of the Great Wall's communication network, the elves were quite well-informed about the entire continent. The civil war in Ansu had already reached the Silver Empire half a year ago. "We are very sorry about this. The descendants of former allies should not be so hostile … But regardless, the safety of the Great Wall concerns the life and death of the civilization. They should know … now is not the time to continue the civil war."
"As you said, the people of the four human kingdoms are all descendants of the Kingdom of Gondor. The ancient glory of our ancestors should not be tarnished because of prejudice and shortsightedness. I believe that those glorious bloodlines are still flowing in the veins of the Ansu people. As long as they haven't completely forgotten all of this, they will know what to do," Rosetta Augustus said solemnly. Augustus said solemnly, then stood up. "As for Typhon … we will fulfill our duties in the Sacred Treaty and repair that barrier."
The elven messengers stood up and bowed in front of Emperor Rosetta. "You are worthy of the name Augustus."
Rosetta nodded. "Please go and rest, messengers. I need to discuss the specific mobilization of resources and personnel with my consultant."
The elven messengers left under the guidance of the attendants. For a moment, only Emperor Typhon and Duke Ferdinand were left in the reception room.
The emperor sat back in his chair, his upper body deep in the shadow of the back of the chair. "Ferdinand, do you think the Wall's situation has deteriorated to this extent?"
"The elves won't joke about this issue. Besides, with their style of doing things, if the barrier hadn't deteriorated to a certain extent, they wouldn't have come to the human countries for help."
"I think so too." Rosetta nodded slightly. "The astrologers have reported the abnormal changes in the sun, and the garrisons at the border have also witnessed the abnormalities at the Wall. The evidence is all there. It can't be ignored."
"Then, we are indeed going to —"
"Fulfill the Sacred Covenant, without a doubt," Rosetta said. "I have already seen the drawings that the elves brought. The repair work that Typhon is in charge of will be divided into two parts. One part will be in the southwest, which I will send Duke Severn to. The other part will be in the northwest, near Winterwolf Fort. I will go there personally."
Ferdinand was stunned for a moment. He looked surprised. "Your Majesty, you want to go there personally?"
"That's right." Rosetta nodded slightly. "That tower was where the late Emperor Typhon died, so I must go there personally."
This was a reason that couldn't be dissuaded.
Seven hundred years ago, when the four kingdoms were just established, the human territories weren't as safe as they were now. In order to stop the wasteland from spreading out, the elves and the other kingdoms worked together to build the Wall today. One of the key points was at the northwest border of Typhon. The Sentry Tower at that key point was built three years ago. It was the last Sentry Tower to be completed, and it was also the last Sentry Tower to be completed. It was also the last Sentry Tower to be completed. For this last step, Typhon had paid the most painful price.
When the various sections of the Wall were activated one by one, and the chaotic magic energy and the endless mutated monsters in the wasteland were all blocked on the scorched earth, the power of the magic wave had once carried out its greatest counterattack. The chaotic magic energy and the mutated monsters, who had nowhere else to go, surged toward the last gap in the barrier, and started a fierce battle with the human and elven allied forces at the northwest border of Typhon. The counterattacking army of mutated monsters even approached the foot of the Sentry Tower at one point. In order to delay the mutated monsters' attack and buy time for the elven technicians to activate the tower, the entire Knight Brigade led by the late Emperor Typhon, and even the king himself, died at the foot of the tower.
"Andesha and the Winterwolf army she leads will be responsible for my safety." Rosetta looked at the old duke in front of him and said unhurriedly, "During my absence, you will be in charge of state affairs, Ferdinand."
Facing Emperor Typhon's deep gaze, Ferdinand? Wendell took a deep breath.
"I won't let you down, Your Majesty."
Duke Ferdinand left.
Only the ruler of Typhon was left in the room.
Rosetta? Augustus sat in the wide armchair and stared expressionlessly at the fire in the fireplace not far away. The fire in the fireplace danced endlessly. Amidst the constantly changing flames and shadows, two hazy apparitions suddenly rose and landed on the ground along with the flames overflowing from the fireplace. They walked up to Rosetta step by step.
They condensed into human forms. They had long blonde hair, pointed ears, and identical appearances.
The Endgame Twins chuckled softly and said to the emperor in front of them, "Look, we said before that if there's a problem with the wall, a problem that the Silver Empire can't solve … Sure enough, they came to you."
Rosetta looked at the Elven Twins in front of him expressionlessly. "You don't seem to care at all that you're also from the Silver Empire."
The Elven Twins were still smiling. "Our cause is beyond the concept of the country. From a certain point of view, aren't you the same as us?"
"I'm different from you. I believe in the power of the country," Rosetta said calmly. "You didn't come here just to discuss this with me, did you?"
"Of course not." The Elven Twins' voices overlapped with each other, with a certain rhythm. "We want to ask you, have you … given up on the Ansu?"
"Of course not, but now is not the time to act," Rosetta said. "The cost and the benefits haven't reached the best balance yet … The blood of the Ansu hasn't dried up yet …"
The Elven Twins came to Rosetta's side and walked around the Emperor of Typhon as if they were taking a stroll in the park. They exclaimed in amazement, "Still calm …" "Precise calculation …" "Full of confidence …" "Incredible …"
Finally, they said in unison, "You are really an incredible person. After facing the truth, you have actually sobered up until today."
Rosetta looked coldly at the Elven Twins' rude and even offensive behavior as if he was watching a farce. Finally, he waved his hand and said, "If there is nothing more important, don't waste time here. There are now a group of high-ranking rangers and elven messengers in this palace. They will not show mercy to the exiles."
The Elven Twins finally stopped their 'strolling'. They smiled and faced Rosetta as they walked backwards towards the fireplace. "Ah, your threat is very effective. We are happy to cooperate …"
Their figures gradually faded in the air as they slowly merged with the firelight behind them. Before they were completely gone, Rosetta spoke. "Don't forget what you came here to do."
"Don't worry, The End of All Things values reputation more than you. The blood of the Ansu will continue to flow …" The Elven Twins' figures had already disappeared, but their voices continued to come from the firelight, getting further and further away. "We will only take what we need. The rest is yours …"
The figures and voices of the Elven Twins finally disappeared completely, and the faint magic waves in the room also completely calmed down.
Rosetta? Augustus was alone in the room. After a long time, he softly muttered to himself, "There must be … a strong empire …"
He stood up and walked to the fireplace that had lost its magic response and turned into a normal flame. He looked at the flickering flames in the fireplace, then bent down and carefully placed the barricade decorated with sharp spikes in front of the fireplace.
At the same time, in Ansu, the Captical City of St. Sunil, a giant grayish-brown eagle flapped its wings and flew across the sky.
The citizens of St. Sunil were familiar with griffins because griffins were the most commonly used messenger and aerial vehicle of the upper-class nobles and royalty. However, very few humans recognized the giant eagles from the south. Those enormous birds of prey flew across the sky above Iron Cross Street and Crown Street like dark clouds. The giant eagles' tail feathers and chest were decorated with green and silver ribbons. They flew straight toward the Silver Fortress, attracting the attention and curiosity of countless witnesses.
Only those with the best eyesight caught a glimpse of the figure on the back of the giant eagles — the elves.
On the upper deck of the Silver Fortress, Victoria Wynter was watching from the side. Werder stared at the sky quietly, watching as the birds of prey that had flown across half of the continent landed on the griffin platform at the flank of the White Silver Fort. There were no giant eagle perches here, so the griffin platform could only be vacated for the giant eagles of the elves to land. The white-feathered griffins that had been temporarily driven to the North Tower were now poking their heads out of the windows on the tower and shrieking loudly at the grayish-brown giant eagles.
"The elven messengers are here."
Beside Victoria, Duke Baldwin of St. Sunil said. Grand Duke Franklin whispered to himself.
"Looks like the situation at the Great Wall is really bad," Victoria said with a hint of coldness in her voice. "What's funny is that until yesterday, those nobles were still discussing what the Grand Duke of the South's warning was."
On the gryphon platform, the elven messengers jumped down from their mounts one by one. One of them, a female elf with short blonde hair, looked at the gryphons on the tower with slight dissatisfaction. "The gryphons of the North are really bad at cursing people."
"Griffins have always been the best at swearing," another messenger said helplessly. "I'm afraid our giant eagles have taken over their nest."
The short-haired elf pouted and turned to look at her giant eagle. The latter also turned its head and looked at its master in confusion.
The short-haired elf could not help but sigh. "What a waste of your size. You don't even know how to quarrel."
"Cuckoo?"
"Let me tell you, there's definitely something wrong with my eagle. Its accent is really heavy …"
