First Release &: Tower-Read Novel
Humans and elves finally have a reason to unite to "fight for the world."
The human side was represented by the Grand Duke of Groth, and the elves were represented by the High Elf Queen. The two sides signed a military alliance.
The Principality of Shire, including the Albrex Empire, is very satisfied with this alliance, which means that the empire has a new ally.
Batoria is very satisfied with this alliance. The chivalrous spirit of chivalry has been promoted, and it can prevent Batoria from falling into war after the fall of the north.
The elves are also satisfied with the covenant. Even the high elves who hate humans the most believe that "at least the monkeys can stand in the way" and "the noble elves can avoid unnecessary sacrifices."
At this point, the covenant between the Human Alliance and the Elf Empire took nearly two months to discuss and was fully signed. At the same time, follow-up troops from the Albrex Empire, the Batoria Empire, and the Siriel Empire arrived.
The Principality of Shire also tried its best to recruit young and strong men in the country who were suitable to participate in the war, and concentrated them in Storm Fortress for military training.
The human coalition has gathered almost 250,000 troops, including 110,000 from the Principality of Shire, 70,000 from the Albrex Empire, 50,000 from Batoria, and 20,000 from the Siriel Empire.
As for the elves, the High Elf Queen gathered an army of 20,000 from the elves.
The High King of the Dwarves also gathered a dwarf army of 50,000 people.
Squeezing out all the remaining armies like toothpaste, the Human Elf and Dwarf Alliance found that their total strength was only 340,000.
The three-race alliance of humans, elves, and dwarves has been severely weakened. Everyone is arguing over whether to actively attack, passively defend, or adjust their strategy.
Archduke Gros still proposed that he could go north to open a road through the Kansas Mountains, support the dwarves and then unite.
This proposal was strongly agreed by the dwarves almost instantly. After getting along with the High King of the dwarves for a period of time, the dwarves and the elves still inevitably had conflicts on many things. The dwarves always felt that they were alone.
They need more compatriots to unite and fight for the right to speak.
Likewise, there are pros and cons, and the high elves have been the most fiercely opposed to the united dwarves from the beginning.
The high elves believe that given the declining population of the dwarves, the plight of being heavily besieged by the orcs, and the fact that they are good at defending cities but not good at attacking, the cost of retaking the Kansas Mountains for the dwarves may be far greater than the benefits of letting the dwarves send troops to attack the orc army.
Like the high elves, the commander-in-chief of the Cyril Empire also expressed that he did not want to fight with the dwarf, but in the end he was glared at by Archduke Gros and shut up immediately. After all, Archduke Gros was now nominally the commander-in-chief of the human coalition.
Regarding the stubbornness of the tribe, the High Elf Queen put forward a new point of view. She believed that the golden tree might be the key to defeating the orcs.
She suggested that all the strong men present should inject their power into the golden tree, so that the golden tree could gain the power to contend with evil.
"The problem is that we now only have five incarnations, the Grand Duke of Gros of Heaven, the Supreme King of the Wind of Shadows, Her Majesty the Queen of the Wind of Life, Gonzalez of the Wind of Light, and me as the incarnation of the Wind of Metal."

Nielas Ellan said: "Your Majesty, the five of us are not enough. What about the other incarnations? Do you have any clues?"
"Other incarnations...I can feel that high in the mountains of the Kansas Mountains, some successor to the power of the dwarf god holds the wind of fire. In the cursed land of the far north, the wind of death is
An extremely arrogant being exudes a cold aura."
The High Elf Elf Queen said: "But the wind of the beast...I can't sense where it is at all."
"Are seven incarnations enough?" Archduke Gross asked the High Elf Queen upon seeing this.
The High Elf Queen immediately gave a helpless reply: "One of the eight winds of magic is indispensable."
"That's enough." Nielas Elan's words brought everything back to the original point, and everyone started a new round of quarrel.
"Gonzalez, you are right." Justice Gross sat down and let his body relax:
"If mortals unite early, there may be a chance to fight the orcs to the death, but we will always consume our strength in internal strife and questioning each other. Everyone is doing things with selfish motives. Only when we reach a desperate situation, will everyone be willing to truly
Join forces, but it's too late."
"Grand Duke, don't say that. It's not easy to choose unity at this time."
Gonzalez's attention was not focused on the quarrel, because the gossip had been going on for nearly two months.

The chief instructor of the Shire held a list in his hand, which was a list of promotion orders for a total of 3,500 knights, of which 2,500 new knights were all freemen or serfs.
This is the benefit brought by war. In the previous wars with the orcs, after a large number of knights were killed, a huge number of vacancies were opened.
At this time, the serfs and freedmen had the coveted window of opportunity for advancement. This was an unprecedented opportunity. As long as they dared to work hard, they could become knights. They were not afraid of not having a position, but they were afraid of not having military merit.
The quarrel at the meeting continued until news came from distant scouts.
Scouts who are proficient in detection magic send information to everyone.
In the Claw Sea in the north, about twenty giant dragon ship fleets were discovered, more than ever before, with the octagonal emblem on each sail.
Grand Duke Gros' fist clenched the parchment scroll with a creaking sound.
There was silence in the conference hall, and everyone who had spoken passionately before closed their mouths.
Dranosh and his reunited main force of one million orcs are approaching.
Only then did everyone realize that Grand Duke Gros, who had never spoken, finally stood up and said to everyone:

"Everyone, maybe you can continue arguing until the orcs come to the door, or you can stop first and listen to my opinion."
"We are always ready to listen to your opinion, Your Majesty."
Sarkozy, the commander-in-chief of the Cyril Empire's army, stared closely at the Grand Duke of Gros. There was expectation and vigilance in his eyes.
"It is impossible for us people to defeat Dranosh's orc army. Even if we win, it will be a miserable victory."
Grand Duke Gross said in a deep voice: "And if we want to follow the prophecy of the Lady of the Lake, close the dragon veins of the orcs, rebuild the ancient seal, and solve the threat of the orcs once and for all, we must gather the incarnations of the eight winds."
"Wouldn't that just go back to the original issue?" Sarkozy said impatiently:
"Of course we know that we must gather the incarnations of the eight winds to have a chance to rebuild the seal, but what about the rest? Even the noble Elf Queen doesn't know where the incarnation of the beast's wind is, right?"
"Don't worry about Beast Wind for now. Don't worry too much about the dwarves. I have already made arrangements."
Grand Duke Gros' voice was very soft, and he turned to Sarkozy and said:
"Sarkozy, do you intend to honor the treaty you signed before?"

"Treaty? You mean..."
Sure enough, when this was mentioned, Sarkozy showed a tangled expression on his face. This was something he had tried his best to avoid in the past two months.
"In order to defeat the orcs, we need enough cannon fodder. Even if they are not opponents of the orcs, they can at least delay some of the enemies and give us a chance to kill Dranosh."
Grand Duke Gros said to Sarkozy:
"We can no longer hesitate. Our Charr, Albrex and Batoria have basically pulled their elite troops to the north. Only Cyril only sent some symbolic troops.
If the coalition of the three tribes is defeated or defeated miserably, and a large number of troops are lost, then you will be given an opportunity to strike in the back.
Moreover, we also heard that the Cyril Empire has recently become very close to the Holy Empire, and seems to be changing its state religion to the God of Light. We cannot accept the Cyril Empire's approach.
Decide where your Xirel Empire will go, whether you will become an enemy of our three countries, or a partner who will fight side by side!"
Sarkozy hesitated.
The Xirel Empire has no troops to mobilize. Except for the troops still responsible for guarding the capital, Emperor Xirel has tried his best to mobilize every strong man.
You must know that the Xirel Empire is a country with extremely developed commercialization and signs of capitalism. The country's voice is not firmly in the hands of the emperor, but in the hands of the country's big businessmen.
It was with the promotion of these big businessmen that the Holy Empire penetrated the Xirel Empire into holes.
Finally, with the efforts of Emperor Xirel, all the field armies were ready, and the remaining militiamen who were not trained enough to fight the orcs were in vain.
The words of Grand Duke Gros reminded Sarkozy that there was a powerful army in the empire.
