Steel steam and flame

The tree house has been carefully designed and cultivated and has a long history. The whole has been completely integrated into the ancient tree as the foundation, as if it is an alternative species grafted on the ancient tree, and the tree house is the fruit.

Only the guests who rushed here were in the tree house, and the assistants and attendants were completely blocked out.

"Just take a seat, everyone knows what's going on." In the conference room, a group of no more than twenty people found their own seats and sat down. The person presiding over the meeting is the current high priest of the Flame Alliance. His hair is all white, but each hair is as if carved from metallic silver, and all of them shine with a dazzling healthy luster under the light.

The current high priest is close to one hundred and sixty years old and will soon enter old age. But now, his voice is still full of power and the sense of majesty it should have. Putting the shiny cane aside, the high priest placed the suitcase he had been carrying on the table. "This is the last time to look at the ruins slate. After that, as the chief elders of each tribe, please do your best." Get ready for the sacrificial ceremony. The opening time is expected to be two weeks later, and the waiting time will not exceed a year before you can get the answer and finally verify the authenticity of the information recorded on the ruins stone slab."

"I remember that eighty or ninety percent of it has been verified one by one in thousands of years. The rest is only the effect of the 'sacrificial ceremony', right? Thousands of years ago, because there was no way to resist the Nature Association Alliance, the sacrificial ceremony that was carried out at that time did not A little bit of information has been left behind, leaving us with something like a legend."

"Isn't there still this relic stone slab left?"

"It's just a broken corner of a stone slab." The great elders of the tribes with the right to speak in the Flame Alliance all came here. Of course, what they were talking about was more than just a stone slab.

"In short, everyone is prepared for it. As for the authenticity and effect of the information recorded on the stone tablet, we will know it in one year at the latest." The high priest spoke at this time, ending the argument he least wanted to see as soon as possible. As he spoke, he opened his suitcase. In the box, a triangular-shaped stone slab lies quietly on a soft cloth. The material of the slate has a metallic texture and is visibly hard, otherwise it would not have been packed directly in a suitcase.

The stone slab looks rough at first glance and is covered with densely packed fine lines. But in the eyes of the high priests and great elders, who are all high-level strange people, the tiny lines are very small strange characters, delicately carved on this stone slab.

The great elders all have the "rubbed" version in their hands, and they are already familiar with the contents on the stone tablet. But as an extremely important sacrificial ceremony, it still needs to be confirmed on the original stone slab.

The high priest himself glanced at the slate, then turned his hand and pushed the suitcase next to him, indicating that after reading it, he would pass it on one by one in a clockwise direction.

"Confirming the sacrificial ceremony is just a small matter. Next, as a hard-earned opportunity, everyone is here. I think it is necessary to discuss something important, and everyone deliberately avoids things that they don't want to talk about." The high priest spoke very slowly, with emphasis in many parts of his words, "You can't escape. Some things have to be decided at the right time. Let's talk about it together."

The slate box was slowly passed in the hands of the great elders present. Seeing that no one responded to his words, the high priest took it as the acquiescence of these people.

"The first thing is that the six red stars are coming, and the sacrificial ceremony is one of the preparations. It is completely carried with a little hope of each of us. Whether it can play the imagined role in the future, we still don't know the result. The left prime minister and the right On the continent, the two super countries are frequently active, and they seem to have a tendency to unite. Although it is impossible for the two to achieve true consistency, if they cooperate briefly because of something or something, they have the potential to With the same interests and ideas, this will be a huge disaster for the entire continent."

"If we want to escape from control, the sacrificial ceremony is our only hope. High Priest, you know the current situation of the alliance."

The high priest heard this kind of thing a lot. There was no emotional change, and a smile appeared on the high priest's face. "What is the current situation of the alliance? The current situation of the alliance is that you each have your own thoughts, and then slowly die together with the alliance. Regarding the alliance between the Theocracy and the Nature Association, which one do you have? Not sure? There is too much information that shows that when the Red Star comes this time, the body of the thing under the whirlpool of the polar sea will be freed from restraint. At that time, whether the Saint Dorag Empire can still be a threat in their eyes is already a question I have doubts. One thing must be clear in my heart. Whether it is the Flame Alliance or the Far Sea Commonwealth, the reason for our existence is because of the Saint Dorag Empire. We were originally selected and supported, and we can continue to this day. The reason why we were not swallowed up by the Saint Dorag Empire, nor were we wiped out early by the other two continents, is not because of how powerful we are and what price we will make the other party pay."

"It's just because the Saint Dorag Empire poses a threat to the other two continents! Once this threat disappears, we will lose the value of our existence and become an obstacle in their eyes. At that time, the Houxiang Continent will be just a piece of land in their eyes. It is a continent, and we will no longer distinguish which countries there are. We are just companions of the Saint Dorag Empire from beginning to end."

These words are obviously not the first time the high priest has said them, nor are they unknown to the dozen or so elders. But there was still no response, and the great elders were silent.

"The second thing is, in our opinion, the only person on the Houxiang Continent that can pose a threat to the two super countries, apart from uranium and gold bombs, is the third-generation knight king of the Saint Dorag Empire, Eleanor. To her The plan is about to be implemented, and we don’t have much time left. I hope that everyone can come to a unified conclusion in the near future. Otherwise,,,”

"Where is the Far Sea Commonwealth?" someone asked.

"The Mechanical Dragon plan has been blocked, but with the character of the King of Steel Defoni Phoenix, this is only temporary. The plan will be launched in the future." Someone answered for the elder, "But the Mechanical Dragon The plan is very much like a front, used to attract attention and gain more room for other things.”

"According to what the high priest said, how should we view what is currently happening in the dark forest?"

"We have to abide by the orders of the Nature Association. Unless we declare war with the Nature Association now, we will still be its puppets in the Houxiang Continent."

The high priest looked around and saw that the great elders who came here were all people with strength and brains. Standing at the top of the pyramid, none of them does not understand the relationship between the three giant countries on the Houxiang Continent at different times and under different circumstances. But it is indeed difficult to reach a unified final decision, and the pressure and responsibility are too great.

"I think one thing can be determined here today. Regarding the third-generation knight king of the Saint Dorag Empire, Eleanor, when the action against her is launched, we must find a way to stop it. Even if we can't stop it, we must delay it. , it is also feasible to hinder the smooth progress of the plan.”
