He didn't expect this incident to cause such a huge uproar. Compared to the hatred between the Wind Elves, Fanzin, and Cruz, the hatred between the Elves of Saint-ausol and the Undead of Madara could only be as deep as a sea of blood.
Since the first War of the Gravel Valley in the Year of Tether, the Elves and the Undead repeatedly fought in the area south of White Mountain. The scale of these wars was almost larger and bloodier than the conflict between Erouine and Madara.
Countless Elves slept in the land south of White Mountain. Even forty years ago, the Elves lost an Elven King in that war.
Since Madara's second expansion in history, its main direction of attack was east of Saint-ausol, and finally opened up a passage to the Alkash Mountains. In this time and space, although the hatred between the two sides had not reached the point of death, it was not to be outdone.
Other countries that lived in the light also had doubts about this dark kingdom. Therefore, on the topic of the alliance with the Undead, even the Cruz people, who needed support the most at this moment, could not help but shrink back.
However, the people of Fanzin and Tuman expressed a strong insistence on this topic. The Knight of Fanzin even threatened to withdraw from the meeting, and only then did he reluctantly let the Undead's envoys join the meeting.
However, the situation was still not optimistic. The Wind Elves in the meeting gave the Undead of Madara a cold shoulder, and the meeting fell into an endless stalemate.
Valla and the old Prime Minister served as the liaison between the three sides, but when they privately asked the people of Fanzin, the latter only said that it was Lady Martha's instructions.
The people of Fanzin believed in the path of light, which directly originated from the gods of the previous era. It was said that they could connect with Martha and get some oracles, but the old Prime Minister and Valla were more willing to believe that it was just a hint from Sage Erranta.
As for the people of Saint-ausol, their intentions were even more unyielding. The Wind Elves even directly said that they could win the war without the Undead's participation, and they also privately questioned the Undead's intentions, suspecting that Madara had actually colluded with the Twilight Dragon.
From a personal point of view, both the old Prime Minister and Valla thought that Fanzin's actions were superfluous. But they had to listen to Tuman's opinion, because they knew who really controlled this powerful fortress. Without this fortress, it would be impossible for them to stop the Crystal's army here.
The people of Cruz's reclaim their country.
But this troublesome matter finally ushered in a turnaround half a month later. Time turned into the second half of November, and the Wilderness of the Four Realms ushered in the first snowfall of the winter of the Year of the Sword. When the mountains of Algash began to be covered with white snow, the Silver Folk of Wohnde, the Bugas, finally arrived at the fortress.
Since the upheaval in the Net of Law of Tiamat, and the collapse of the Silver Folk's city in the sky, the Silver Folk had fallen into their own troubles. Although the Silver Folk led by Solomon still participated in the Battle of Cruz and fought side by side with the dragons in the war, but after that, the news of the Silver Alliance was blocked, and the Silver Folk no longer appeared on the earth.
It was not until three months later that Solomon sent another envoy to inform the people of Cruz and Fanzin that the Silver Alliance would participate in this meeting.
And now, they were here.
Due to the position of the Bugas' floating empire on the Sea of Eternal Darkness, they formed a natural barrier between the Wind Elves and Madara. Although the Bugas claimed to be indifferent to worldly affairs, the wizards and the elves had a deeper friendship in private.
The magic armor of the elves of Saint-ausol, the floating fleet, were all in the shadow of the Bugas. In the war to support Erouine, the Bugas were actually on the side of the elves. The Silver Folk even occasionally helped the elves to punish the undead of Madara, and set up a number of monitoring stations on the border of Madara to warn the elves of Saint-ausol.
Therefore, the elves had always been the natural allies of the Bugas. After receiving the assurance of these Silver Robed Wizards, the Wind Elves were relaxed for the first time, and finally agreed to let the undead send an army led by Her Majesty the Queen to the fortress to participate in the battle.
However, they still insisted on their own opinion of the undead's request for territory and refuge in the east of Saint-ausol. They did not agree.
But everyone understood the meaning behind this disagreement. As long as the undead's performance in this war was recognized by the world of light, then the follow-up issues were not impossible to negotiate.
The old Prime Minister Nidevan knew that the long-famous Queen of the Undead was a real politician, and she would definitely agree to this request.
The process of the meeting began to move forward gradually with the elves' agreement. A week later, the second elven army was stationed in the fortress. Soon, the countries in the Silver Bay area also mobilized their own troops and began to move north.
At this time, there was good news in the countries under the rule of the Holy Cathedral of Fire. The long-missing Nun Princess had returned to her homeland of Antoburo and responded to the call of the Cruz people and the Holy Cathedral of Fire to recruit volunteers in her homeland to go to the front line to support the war.
Under the great influence of this princess, the countries in the east of the Silver Bay quickly established a real coalition army and began to march north in the name of the Holy Cathedral of Fire.
At the beginning of December, the old head of the Armand Family, the grandfather of Nun Princess Magadal, and one of the twelve deputy marshals of the coalition army in the last holy war, the White Wolf Blademaster Blanc, reappeared in the Antoburo Duchy, causing a sensation in the Silver Bay and even the Holy Cathedral of Fire.
The former deputy marshal of the coalition army was said to have been missing for nearly fifty years, and almost everyone who knew him thought that he had passed away. But unexpectedly, this legendary hero reappeared at the most critical moment of the world. The Antoburo Duchy was said to be rejoicing because of this, and the Cruz people, under the instructions of the Holy Cathedral of Fire, re-granted the title of deputy marshal to the old hero, and handed over the command of the coalition army in the east of the Silver Bay area to him.
At the same time, another thing happened that made the old Imperial Chancellor, Nidevan, who was still in the Alkash area, both excited and nervous. It was said that someone had found traces of his granddaughter, Delfien, in the Silver Bay area. After sending a letter to Princess Magadal and receiving confirmation, the old man, who was nearing the end of his life, was so excited that he almost burst into tears.
Everything seemed to be moving in a good direction at the end of this year's winter, except for the shadows that were growing in the corners of the world.
But it was at this time that the meeting in the Wilderness of the Four Territories once again came to a halt.
The reason was simple.
The Bugas suddenly left the meeting.
On the 17th of December, the Bugas delegation suddenly announced to all parties that they would temporarily withdraw from the meeting, and may return at an unknown time.
But nothing was certain.
As for the reason, the Silver Folk, as arrogant as they were before, did not mention it. But the next day, almost all the silver-robed mages who stayed in Babel Fortress disappeared.
Before this incident caused a stir in the entire meeting, another person who returned to Babel Fortress brought more important news —
A carriage drove into Kingston Fort.
The carriage was heavily guarded, with nearly thirty Kirrlutz heavy cavalry surrounding the two four-wheeled carriages. Before the carriage came to a stop, a servant ran to the door, opened it, and put down a low stool to let the passengers in the carriage alight.
The environment around Kingston Fort was naturally far inferior to the imperial capital, and these fortresses located in the mountains were only connected by potholed roads. Although it was enough to support the mobility of small-scale cavalry, it was barely enough for a carriage.
But the passenger in the carriage did not seem to care too much about this. She leaned half of her body out, looked around, and then said coldly.
"Take me to see my father."
When he received the news of his daughter's arrival, Nedwin Jr. was discussing with his father, the prime minister Nedwin Sr. about the meaning behind the strange departure of the Bugas.
But when the door was pushed open, the two saw their daughter, who had obviously lost a lot of weight, waved her hand to let the servant leave the room first, then closed the door behind her, and said to the two with a serious face.
"Father, grandfather, please seal off the entire Babel Fortress immediately. The Bugas suddenly left because something big happened in the White Mountain area. "
… …
"Vahina?"
"Ah, I'm so sorry, Shido, I was distracted." Vahina frowned as she looked in the direction of the elven delegation. She had just seen a messenger rushing in the direction of the delegation, and connected it to the strange atmosphere in the meeting in recent days. She had a vague feeling that something big had happened.
The scholar lady adjusted her glasses and only smiled slightly.
"It's nothing, but we have to speed up a little. Later, Lord Veronica and Lord Mangrove will use this sandbox, we have to set it up before then."
"Yes," Miss Laurenna, the number one genius girl of Rushta, who had become the deputy commander of the Imperial Temple Knight Regiment at a young age, covered her mouth and yawned. "How annoying. In yesterday's battle, those annoying Tree Spikes lost a few fortresses in the Graystone Valley, but today, we Cruz have to help them get them back … Ah, I'm so sleepy."
"Laurenna," the young lady's fiancé, Filas, hurriedly tugged at her sleeve. "Don't let the old prime minister and Lord Valla hear you say that. This time, both of us will have to be grounded for a week."
"Hmph," Laurenna did not seem to care. "That's true. I really hate hanging out with these politicians all day. I heard that Qui and Nasha have joined the frontline combat forces with Lord Veronica's permission. Damn it, I'm so envious."
"You're a girl, what's so good about fighting and killing." Filas disagreed.
"Useless." Laurenna glared at the guy. "Look at Mr. Brando, he's already a count at such a young age, and he's still just from Erouine."
"I'm a count too."
"What's there to be proud of as a hereditary count? Can you defeat Her Majesty the Queen? Can you defeat the Empire? "
"Well," Filas hurriedly shook his head. "Even if I had the ability, I wouldn't dare."
"Besides, you don't have the ability." Laurenna shook her head and sighed at her fiancé. She suddenly thought of something and looked at Vahina. "By the way, Vahina, I heard that you seem to have known Count Tónigel for a long time."
"Ah?" Only then did Vahina come to her senses and hurriedly shook her head. "… Ah, well, we just know each other."
She suddenly remembered her first meeting with Brando, and although she denied it, she could not help but blush.
"You're blushing, Vahina." Laurenna seemed to have discovered a new continent. "No way, don't tell me you're interested in that count?"
"No, of course not." Vahina hurriedly denied it loudly. "What are you talking about, I've only met Brando twice."
"Oh, Brando." Rushta's genius lady giggled. "You've only met him twice, and you're already so familiar with him."
"Laurenna —!"
Vahina called out halfway, but the second half of her sentence was suddenly stuck in her throat. Her blue eyes revealed an incredulous light as she said in surprise, "Miss, Miss Delfien?"
"Pfft." Laurenna laughed. "Vahina, your excuse for changing the topic is a little too clumsy. Miss Delfien? You might as well say Miss Veronica to make me more scared. "
Vahina's expression was extremely strange. "No, Laurenna, it's true."
"It's true, don't joke around. That hateful woman has long disappeared, and now I'm the number one genius of Rushta."
But Laurenna suddenly froze.
Because a hand was gently placed on her shoulder.
"Dear little sister Laurenna, so I'm such an annoying woman in your heart?" The prime minister's daughter smiled slightly. "Hmm, the number one genius of Rushta?"
Firas saw his fiancée's face turn pale. She stammered, "Miss, Miss Delfien …"
"Hmph, I'll deal with you later." Delfien glared at her and turned to Vahina. "Vahina, I'm here for you."
"Miss Delfien, you're back?"
Delfien nodded. "Do you know who I met?"
"Who?"
"Brando."
"Huh?" Vahina was shocked and almost had the illusion that she was seen through. She looked around in fear and asked in a small voice, "What's wrong?"
But Delfien's expression was very serious.
"I need your help now, Vahina."
