Sword of Daybreaker

Elf outpost on the border of the wasteland.

If it hadn't been for Solderlin's reminder, Gawain would not have thought of this even though he did know the existence of this sentry.

In fact, when Cecil was still a principality, Gawain successfully established contact with the Silver Empire at the southern tip of the mainland for the first time, relying on the transit of this sentry, which was already a few years ago.

"The Farstrider Watch of the Silver Empire is a permanent and neutral stronghold. From the distant Gondor era to the kingdom era after the second expansion, this has been recognized by all countries for thousands of years," Soldering said from the side. Judging from the current situation, this crucial truce negotiation has some problems no matter where it is conducted. It would be better to proceed at the Elf Outpost northwest of the Shadow Swamp. On the other hand, Elves are also very suitable witnesses... …At least in terms of a long life, we are very sure about witnessing contracts that have been over a thousand years old."

Gawain admitted that he had not considered this idea before. Hearing what Solderlin said at this moment, he suddenly felt that there was some truth to it: "...700 years ago, the pioneer bills of various countries were also witnessed by the elves. It was concluded..."

"So what do you think?" Soldering looked at Gawain, "Do you agree?"

Gawain thought for a while, and half a minute later, he nodded slightly: "This is the most suitable solution at the moment... I personally agree, but this matter requires more than my own approval. Send the message. Go to Winterhold and see if the Typhonians agree with this. In addition, you also need to contact the Silver Empire to see what Belsetia thinks."

"The queen must be happy to bear this testimony," Solderlin said confidently, but nodded. "Of course, I will report this to Her Majesty Bersetia."

Gao Wen said, his serious expression didn't relax much, but he fell into thinking again. Amber noticed the change in his expression and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong? What's wrong with you? ?"

Gao Wen woke up from his contemplation, he shook his head: "There is nothing wrong with it, but..."

While talking, he looked at the map hanging on the wall not far from the hall. It was a map that included the entire territory of Typhon and Cecil, as well as some countries around the two countries. On it, the mortal kingdom Like canine teeth, huge empires, scattered kingdoms, city-states attached to big countries... are all clearly marked. Gao Wen's gaze swept over the old or young names, and his eyes became deeper.

"Perhaps... we shouldn't just be satisfied with a truce negotiation..."

"It's not just a truce negotiation?" Amber felt a little confused about Gawain's thoughts, she scratched her hair, "Ah, is it the story you told me before, that is, you dropped the cup halfway through the negotiation? , And then five hundred white knights carrying power hammers jumped in from the side window and raised all the tables in the audience..."

"Stop stop..." Gawain's grand plan was just halfway through when he was disrupted by this half-elf. He hurriedly called to stop and regretted from the bottom of his heart that he shouldn't normally teach the shame of everything. He must have done it after he regrets it, but at least he regrets it a little bit at the moment, "I shouldn't usually teach you these messy things...I almost got confused."

Amber didn't care at all: "Then what do you mean?"

"We resisted a divine disaster." The experience of our ancestors over the past few years came in handy. Gao Wen quickly recovered his serious appearance. He slowly said, and his messy thoughts were quickly sorted out. "The two human empires are the whole country The force confronts it head-on, and our enemy is a real, crazy, **** who descended into the world. This event should be a major node in the history of all mortals. It should not only serve as Typhon and Cecil is a "result" of the war between the two human kingdoms."

Amber blinked, as if he hadn't reacted yet, but Solderlin on the side faintly caught Gawain's thoughts: "You want to... through this divine disaster, promote the'rebellious' plan worldwide ?"

"No, we can't directly promote disobedience. For people in the world who don't know the truth, this plan is too radical. The horrible truth behind it will scare away many potential allies in advance," Gawain shook his head, "but we can Take this opportunity to make the mainland countries more aware of the existence of the crisis, so that more people can unite, so that more people can be prepared. The fall of the God of War will soon have an impact, and the corresponding magical skills will fail. , The relevant spiritual seal will disappear, and all countries will soon realize the lack of the God of War, so this divine disaster itself cannot be concealed, so we might as well directly disclose it."

"...To be honest, for many people, the impact of this incident is probably no more milder than the'disobedience plan'," Thorderlin sighed with a wry smile, "but I still agree with your point of view that we should treat things Bigger."

"We need to prepare two meetings," Gawain nodded, "One is our armistice agreement with Typhon, and the other... We need to invite as many allies as possible, and we need to establish a new international order. Of course, it’s still too early to say this, but I think we can get started."

Gawain talked about his thoughts in detail, and what he told Soldering at this moment was not a whim. He had had this idea a long time ago, and even discussed it several times with Heidi and others in detail.

In his opinion, this world is really not a mild and bright paradise. The existence of divine plagues, black traps and demonic tides is regarded as an extinction disaster for mortals at any historical stage, even as a legendary powerhouse and a country. The monarch, he will always feel trembling in such a world, let alone ordinary people in this world.

In the face of this unfriendly world, Gawain never considered himself very strong. On the contrary, he admitted his weakness and even the weakness of the entire mortal community. It is precisely because of this that he values ​​the development of society as a whole. The survivability of the entire mortal group in the face of disasters. When a disaster like the magic wave comes, the survival of a few strong or fortunate ones is completely meaningless. Only if civilization survives, the mortal group can be considered alive.

This is the realization that he had when he led a group of refugees to pitch down the first tent on the banks of the Baishui River. To this day, his original intention has not changed.

In order to realize his overly large "ambition", he must push his ideal order to the entire world. This idea seemed arrogant and naive, but now, he has seen the opportunity to take the first step.

Gao Wen raised his head and looked to the northeast. Through a window in a corner of the hall, the snow-capped peaks of the Winter Fortress were vaguely presented in his vision: "Now, it depends on whether our'neighbors' are willing to be with us. We are welcoming this new era together."

...

The destruction caused by the war was shocking, and even the towering and strong mountain fortresses became devastated after this disaster.

The white, ice-crystal walls were stained black, the towers and flags around the castle collapsed and collapsed, and the towering winter fortress still stood on the mountain. However, a quarter of the fortress structure had been wiped out in the previous big explosion. Three-quarters of the people stood rustling in the cold wind. In the ruined courtyard and the corridors and pillars that were about to collapse, the dusty-faced mages were busy repairing them.

They are trying to avoid this fortress from collapsing as much as possible, and try to use magic to re-strengthen and fill its damaged walls and main building. Due to the huge disused energy interference that pervades the entire Winterhold fortress group, the wizards can hardly concentrate , This repair work is not going well, but at least so far, the main hall of the castle and the surrounding corridors are safe.

The maid with black hair and black dress walked in the cracked and dusty corridor, and her short heeled boots made clear footsteps on the stone floor. Despite the mess around her, she was still as graceful as walking in an obsidian palace. Calmly, that exquisite face concealed all expression changes. As in the past many years, no one can guess from the face of the maid chief Diana, the woman who has been loyal to the Augustus family for hundreds of years. What are you thinking about.

After passing through the hall and corridor, passing through two small empty rooms, she came to the living room that was just cleaned out. Rosetta Augustus was sitting on a back chair covered with dark red cushions. What to think about.

"Master," Diana walked towards Emperor Rosetta, "I'm back."

"Welcome back, this trip has been hard," Rosetta nodded slightly, looking at the black-haired maid. "It seems that the Cecilians didn't make you embarrassed."

Diana folded her hands in front of her waist, and said meticulously: "Gawain Cecil is a man of reason, and his officers abide by the rules."

Rosetta looked into Diana's eyes: "Tell me about your experience with the Cecilians, is there anything worth reporting?"

Diana's eyes seemed to flicker, she opened her mouth, but hesitated at the last moment before she spoke, and this brief hesitation immediately made Rosetta a little surprised. Since the memory, he has never seen it. This "steel lady" will have this "hesitating" reaction!

But after a while, Diana still spoke: "Beside Gawain Cecil, there are the survivors of the ancient Gondor era."

"...Not surprising," Rosetta tapped on the table lightly and said with a natural expression. "Only the information we currently have, there is at least one great demon from the Gondor era in Cecil's technical staff. As the mentor himself, he was a pioneering hero who was resurrected from 700 years ago. Gawain Cecil himself is even a remnant of Gondor, and his legacy of Gondor is more than anyone else.

"But...you mentioned it so deliberately, I guess the gondor survivors who appeared next to Gao Wen are not ordinary people?"

"...Ophelia Norton," Diana said, "a member of the royal family of the Gondor Spark era, the commander of the Iron Man, one of the leaders of the rebels, and a cutting-edge technician. Her current name is Veronica Mor Well, the identity is the princess of Old Anzu. This is some kind of soul immortality technology, but the relevant details are missing in my database."

Rosetta's lightly tapping on the tabletop stopped. He sat there blankly, and remained motionless like a black iron sculpture for the next few seconds.

"Master?" Diana looked at each other, "What did you think of?"

Rosetta's fingers stopped in the air finally landed on the table, and he sighed with a subtle expression on his face: "To be honest...I am starting to envy our neighbor a little bit."

Diana thought for a while and reminded: "You have said similar things before."

"But this time is different," Rosetta shook his head. "I envy not only the resources that Gawain Cecil has in his hands, but I also envy... his keen thinking and perspective on things, these qualities Let the resources in his hands always be able to exert greater effects."

Diana's expression was very humane and there was a trace of confusion: "Why do you say that?"

"You just came back, the news is a bit lagging behind," Rosetta said, picking up a transcript from the table and handing it to Diana. "Before you step into the castle, the Cecil gave it to you through a temporary communication line. We sent this."

Diana took the document curiously and scanned the contents in an instant. Rosetta next to it went on to say: "In addition to the armistice agreement, Gawain Cecil mentioned another one. The matter,'initiated the establishment of a community alliance of mortal nations.' He hopes to use this war that has attracted the attention of the entire continent to reveal the threat of the divine disaster, and use the influence of Cecil and Typhon’s settlement areas to build a huge The... order across the entire continent."

"...An ambitious idea," Diana put down the file and commented pertinently, "but at this point in time, it is possible to achieve it. Although according to my calculations, not all countries will respond to his call, but as long as there are some If countries are willing to join, this'alliance' will have the power to deter the world. For those countries far away from this war, the threat of divine disaster may not be so clear, but the economic benefits of joining this alliance are obvious ."

"Yes, it's obvious, and the Cecilians have always been superb economic skills," Rosetta said. "They will definitely make good use of their strengths in this area."

Having said this, he suddenly smiled and shook his head: "While many people's minds are still in the siege and land occupation, he has already begun to plan a new order for the world."

"So what do you think?" Diana raised her head and watched Rosetta's reaction quietly.

"... He said that he is not an idealist, but now he puts an extremely ideal vision in front of me, I want to face this'invitation' with absolute reason, but unfortunately, the world is not completely rational. That..." Rosetta sighed softly, or sighed, "Sometimes we need to take some risks to face the challenge of the future. This invitation, I accepted."
