Chapter 17: Talks
The three of them passed through the last forest at the foot of the mountain, and the buildings of Ankersun suddenly appeared in the woods, but now Ankersun did not look as peaceful as usual at all.
Many seriously injured dwarfs were sitting against the walls of the building. The dwarfs in charge of medical treatment quickly tied bandages on them. Many buildings collapsed and were damaged. Some walls collapsed on the road. The uninjured dwarfs carried stretchers and walked from the broken buildings.
The seriously injured dwarf was carried out from the wall, and everyone looked solemn.
Only a dozen of the original twenty towering torches were still intact. The other damaged torch bases were destroyed and fell to the ground, turning into a sea of burning fire.
"Excuse me, where are your Elders Lelka and Sterling?" the soldier leader asked a dwarf who was about to receive medical supplies.
The dwarf glanced at the tall stranger, pointed in the direction of the square, and said, "The elders are all over there."
The soldier nodded to express his gratitude and walked toward the square with long strides. Wei Yi handed Oia to the dwarf's medical team. The medical team would treat Oia, and he quickened his pace and walked with the soldier.
square.
The normally empty square was now covered with gravel and cracks. Twenty or so dwarfs surrounded the three dwarfs in the center, who were obviously the three elders of the dwarf tribe.
The tall and burly one quickly attracted the attention of the dwarfs.
"Wei Yi, are you okay! Why are you and Ia running out here?" Lelka saw a look of surprise on her face when she saw Wei Yi behind the soldier.
"Lelka, do you know this little guy?" the soldier asked curiously.
Lelka nodded and said with a smile: "Of course I know this little guy, he is our distinguished guest in Anxon!"
The soldier looked at Wei Yi in surprise and laughed a few times: "This little guy's martial arts skills are pretty good, he can survive under the dark mage for such a long time." He turned to Wei Yi and said with interest: "How about you?
Come back to Feimu Empire with me, I will train you for a few months, and you will be able to obtain the title of Intermediate Soldier Leader directly."
Leerka passed Wei Yi, rolled his eyes at the soldier, and said: "He won't go to your side, he has more important things to do. By the way, you don't know this person's name, right? His name is
..."
"Hongka, the first echelon of the Holy Empire, the leader of the high-level golden-armored soldiers." The stranger showed his white teeth to Wei Yi and said his name.
"You came to us for business, right?" said another dwarf elder with white hair.
Hongka nodded and his voice became a little deeper: "Let's go to your meeting room to talk."
Lelka nodded and signaled the other dwarfs to disperse to find the injured and clean up the mess. Ten minutes later, he led Honka and Vey into a marble building in the town.
They entered a room of one hundred square meters, with a huge carpet on the floor, a long seat across the center of the room, and rows of chairs neatly placed on both sides.
Leka lit the fire in the closet, pulled out a chair, sat down, and said, "Can we talk now?"
Hongka nodded and said, "I am here under the orders of the legion commander and the emperor." He took out a scroll from his backpack and handed it to Lelka.
Lelka used the candlestick on the table to browse the text on the scroll. As his eyes continued to slide on the scroll, his face gradually became solemn.
"Is this true?" Leka put down the scroll and said in a deep voice.
Hongka touched the stubble on his chin and said: "Yes, a few days before my departure, when the army guarding the Cavalry Pass in the northwest of the empire was preparing for defense, it was attacked by monsters. A day later, Monte Ai in the southwest
Signs of monster infiltration have also been found at Er Pass, and our Holy Legion and Sword Legion have been assigned to guard the two passes, but there is no news yet."
Weiyi, who was sitting next to Hongka, moved his eyes, and the geographical map of the Feimu Empire quickly appeared in his mind.
A mountain range stretches across the west of the Feimu Empire, and there is a large chasm called Death Valley inside the mountain range. To the south, it is adjacent to Guangming City, the capital of the Marwa Empire. In the west of the Feimu Empire, there are only Cavalry Pass and Monte Ai
Er Pass can be passed, but what is surprising is that monsters were discovered at both passes within two days, which made people shiver behind their backs.
Leka leaned back on the chair, covering her chin with one hand, staring at the giant strokes on the wall with narrowed eyes, thinking about something.
After a while, he spoke: "In the past few months, the Marwa Empire was invaded and attacked by monsters, and now your Feimu Empire has been attacked again. Isn't the number of monsters still very small now? Where did they come from with so many people?
Come and fight the two empires?" He paused for a while and then said: "Also, the monsters specifically attack when your army is deployed. This is the secret of your empire, right? How do they know so clearly?"
"Also, do you still remember that the two legions of the Marwa Empire were wiped out before? The two legions were not attacked when they were separated. After they came together, they were surrounded and destroyed. Something was also robbed. Is this true?
Is it all a coincidence?"
"Is there a spy in the empire?" Wei Yi blurted out, and the next moment, their eyes were focused on him.
Hongka narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "This is not impossible. If there are spies of monsters in the two empires, then there is a high risk that the layout of the two empires will be leaked."
Lelka stood up and said: "No matter what, the remaining three empires have reached an alliance now. Even if the Black Demon King launches an attack, we have to think about it. What's more, you have the support of our dwarf tribe behind you.
I believe that those old guys from the elves will not just sit idly by."
Hongka also stood up and laughed: "I hope so. My mission is completed and I have to go back. Weiyi, are you really not going with me?"
Wei Yi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Thank you for your kindness, but I still have some personal matters to deal with."
Hongka waved his hands and said with a smile: "Then we will regret it."
He shouldered the gun and walked into the darkness.
Weiyi hesitated for a moment before deciding to ask Lelka a question that had been hidden in his mind for a long time: "Lelka, is the situation on the mainland so dangerous now? What is the purpose of the monsters?"
Leka was silent for a moment, sighed, and said: "You should understand a little bit about the current situation, which will also be good for you in the future." He paused, and then said: "Several major empires are not yet at the point of life and death.
At this time, you can rest assured that many strong men in the three empires are also the most feared by the monster army. The only thing we know now is that the monsters have occupied the western border of the continent, reaching as far as the Guen Mountains in the north and as far as the Snite Wasteland in the south.
The eastern boundary runs from Lake Marne in the north to the Upper Fort Valley in the south to the Triangular Mountains in the south, and further east reaches the sphere of influence of the Mahva Empire and the Feimu Empire."
"Thousands of years of accumulation have allowed the human race to build solid and strong defense forces in the north and south. There is no problem in temporarily fighting monsters by relying on the terrain."
"As for the origin of the monsters..." Lelka tugged on his beard and said, "Tanser probably hasn't told you about it. Historians and anthropologists from the three major empires have now studied the origins of the monsters.
, there are two mainstream theories. The first is that humans used black magic in the two super wars, and after tens of thousands of years of erosion by black magic, they have become what they are now; the other is that the monsters come from another world.
It has the support of nearly 90% of scholars from several major empires, because every time the Black Demon Gate appears on the mainland, the monsters will appear. Therefore, people speculate that the Black Demon Gate is the link between the two worlds, and the monsters are created by the Black Demon Gate.
The door came to our world."
"As for the Black Demon Sect, there is no historical record of its origin. The identity of the Black Demon Emperor is also unknown. Scholars don't know whether he is a human being? Is he a race that has long since disappeared on the mainland, or...
.Gods."
Lelka sighed and said: "The monsters want to invade the empire and other races. For them, invading other races is the only way to survive." He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "But
