No matter how restless the world below is, there is always peace above the sea of clouds.
In my eyes, the clouds slowly moved, combined, and deformed according to their own rhythm. Just looking at them made my heartbeat and thoughts slow down, and my heart calmed down, but the storm in front of me was obviously out of shape.
On the throne in the clouds, the violent whirlwind gathered into a vortex of pitch-black clouds, thunderstorms were constantly overflowing, and his voice was as loud as thunder.
Yes, this is him, not it. This is Kamdilian, the powerful god of the wind element, the last of the four elemental gods and the youngest among them.
"Little thing, are you saying that that stupid big stone actually plans to open the door to the earth elemental plane in the main plane? This is absolutely impossible! Even he cannot support such a huge consumption, and,
This is different from what we originally agreed!”
It seemed to be a question, it seemed to be a question, but when I heard this, I smiled.
"Promise? Oh, Lord Kamdilian, have you just come out to hang out? You actually believe in a verbal agreement? Let me guess, your agreement is nothing more than fighting on your own, and the territory you conquer is your own.
"
The storm is still swirling, and the blurred face remains silent, but this silence is enough to explain everything. In a sense, this rough agreement is also the only acceptable agreement.
"Haha, you can't believe it when you talk to demons and evil gods. Do you think if you were in this position and someone was willing to help you open the door to the wind elemental plane, you would refuse? And you and
The relationship between Umdiroken? Haha."
"Except for a few special planes, the elements of a main plane must be balanced. In view of the actual situation of the Ashe continent, the great sage Aristotle once proposed the four-element theory. In his eyes, all matter is composed of earth.
, water, air, and fire, and correspond to the solidity of matter respectively.
state, liquid, gaseous state, plasma state. At the same time, the four elements are also a combination of dry, wet, cold, warm and other characteristics. For example, dry and cold produce earth, while the components of water are wet and cold. The overall balance must be maintained, and the elements
They can only compete with each other for living space, which is the basic law of the world."
"From any perspective, the properties of the elements are different. But they are always right. The fire representing high temperature and the ice representing low temperature, the solid earth and the free storm, they compete with each other.
Balance has been reached again, which is determined by the basic nature of the elements. Do you think that when this world is connected to the rock-gathering cave on the earth elemental plane, there will still be room for you, the god of the wind element, to intervene in this world? You can’t say for sure, you
You and your race will be sealed in this world forever."
Still silent, but judging from the thunderstorms surrounding the huge body, the words I wanted to convey have arrived. As an old rival for many years, Kamdilian certainly knows that once the earth elemental plane and the main plane are linked, he will not
What good outcome will come to this?
"I am here this time to extend my friendship to a great being like you on behalf of the God of Law. Why do you have to bow down to a junior? There are many things we can discuss in detail."
"Order side? Haha, do you think there is a fundamental difference between them and those bastards on the Chaos side?"
"No, I only represent the God of Law. Of course, there are also a few big figures who are not convenient to disclose."
Stretching out his hand, the white crystal ball contained a message that only the set object could accept. After the flashing light ball finished transmitting the message, it crushed the big hand.
"Do you think you can make the great Wind Top work for you just by relying on your eloquent tongue? Get out of here! I don't want to see you now."
When I remembered the thunderous eviction order, I turned around and left without saying a word, but there was a smile on my lips.
According to my understanding of these old antiques, the fact that he did not call for people to besiege me, but issued an order to expel me, already shows that he is moved and appreciates it.
There are no complete secrets in this world, and the news of my meeting with Kamdilian cannot be completely airtight. An unhappy ending is the best outcome. In my estimation, it means that the negotiation has not progressed to the point of drawing swords.
OK, if that guy really refused, he should just crush it without even looking at it.
"God of the earth element? Elemental fortress? Haha, Oumdiroken, I have found a good opponent for you. Hum, you can poach the elves on the order side, but I can't poach the wind element on the chaos side?"
In front of the country, war is an extension of politics, and war is for profit. Behind every seemingly sudden war, there are invisible arms and batons.
At this point, I can almost figure out Chaos's plan.
From the perspective of the entire holy war, the elemental invasion is just an outpost as an appetizer. Their core interest is still to increase the level of the elemental tide and prepare for the subsequent main course.
Maybe I'm sorry for the orcs and elves, but it's terrible. In a sense, their war behavior is just a form of surrender, or more, a cover-up for the real strategic goals of the Chaos side.
"Link to the elemental plane? What a joke."
If the elemental tide set off by the four gods of elements is one, then the complete link of an elemental plane is probably at least ten. Then, all the strategic plans of the Chaos side can be advanced.
"If the demonic invasion starts now and the evil god comes, who can stop it! The most important thing is that this is not a game. As long as you achieve the goal, those opponents will not come to increase your experience one by one, 80% of them will come together! The elemental
There is absolutely no way the door will open."
Increasing the elemental tide is a step-by-step project. Countless elemental creatures are killed in the main plane and return to their own elemental planes. The remaining elements wander throughout the world, and the elemental tide will also increase as a result.
Even if we don’t mention the impact of the elemental fortress and the large number of earth elemental reinforcements on the battlefield situation, just their strategic significance, I don’t want to see the gate of the elements really open anyway.
But if I want to stop it, I ran into a little trouble.
I can't beat it.
Yes, you can't beat it, there is absolutely no chance of winning, and the earth elemental plane will be opened. The god of the earth element will definitely take action himself. If you want to prevent him from opening the elemental door, he will definitely fight you desperately.
Although Omdiroken is not high-profile among the Gods of the Elements and has no very famous deeds, the fact that he is still able to survive even though he has a very poor relationship with the other Gods of the Three Elements is enough to show that his strength is extremely amazing.
It is said that as the oldest being among the four elements (if the God of Elements dies, a new King of Elements will advance to become the God of Elements), he is recognized as the strongest of the Elemental Gods. I am afraid that his strength will not be inferior to anyone else.
gods.
Demigods can also use the human sea tactic to suffocate them to death. But unless the true god takes action, no matter how many opponents there are, it will be in vain.
So, I thought of looking for help.
There is no need to consider the group of true gods on the Order side, but isn’t it the one who is hunting with the Black Winged Man now, Kamdilian, the sworn enemy of Omdiroken?
Is he an enemy? Indeed, so what, the elves and the elven gods are still allies of humans. Every holy war is a continent-wide reshuffle of forces, changing camps and betrayal. It is too normal.
So, when I found out that Kamdilian and the Winged People were not too far from the North, I ran here in person without saying a word. Even if it was "not far", it would take me at least half a month to travel.
.
"Completing the Gate of the Earth Element is not something that will happen in a short time. Before that, an early decisive battle is definitely not what Chaos wants to see. On the contrary, Antuen will be safe."
I still have to come here in Kamdilian. These old antiques are very concerned about face and pomp. If the portion is not enough, just throw it out. It is normal to destroy it conveniently. Especially for such an important persuasion, you must pay more attention to sincerity. Now I got it.
The expected reply made me feel a little relieved.
Stepping into the long-awaited Vulture-type assault ship, I also began my journey back home, and even in the temporary equipment, the information on the front line was still not cut off.
The driver begins to prepare
"There is still an eerie calm on the battlefield. The elves seem to be reorganizing their armies. The main legions of the four countries are mobilizing. The total number has exceeded 150,000. Considering that the adult elves have at least a silver-level combat power, this is
A very terrible power."
"Only the innermost of Antuen's three walls is left, but the siege has stopped. San Antonio's legions have arrived in the North and have officially taken over the defense of Red Maple City. If we go back now
, I’m afraid we may encounter some minor trouble.”
"The human coalition has fought against the orcs. Both sides have won and lost. As you expected, the other three groups of orcs have begun to close up. This has been a cage from the beginning. Damn it, since you dare to deceive the demon king."
"Also, as you expected, the second heavy snow has also fallen, and the mountains have been closed. Now their respective armies are blocked in the city, and the supplies they consume every day are astronomical. Only high-level combat forces can barely survive here.
If the weather is full of ghosts, you don’t have to worry about missing this annual show.”
Eliza's report was filled with some resentment. It seemed that while she was attacking the orc chiefs, the orc chiefs did not tell her the real battle plan, which made her very unhappy.
"There are also those messy things, such as those bastards from the League of Gentlemen, they all come to me when you are not around..."
My departure and temporary appointment put a lot of chores on her. However, in a sense, if she hadn't been here, I wouldn't have left without worry.
"Ahem, don't I have something important to discuss? By the way, what's the situation here?"
"Our arms business is booming. The non-chargeable magic sword has been well received after testing. The order for magic explosive grenades can be scheduled until the year after next. We will not be able to finish it until next year. The profit of each transaction is at least four times the cost.
If it’s more than times, you’ll make a lot of money.”
"How's the training going?"
"The actual combat training based on the team went very well, but there was no chance for the legion drill. There have been a lot of high-end aerial duels recently, but it is obviously not something that those boys can interfere with. Your bone dragon knight Dimir recently beat up the green dragon.
The Knights and Storm Dragon Knights have really caught the limelight and are vaguely known as the 'No. 1 Sky Riders in the North'."
"Where are those little toys?"
"The first batch of war machinery has arrived. We just negotiated with that black face two days ago. The first batch of three types of seven machines is specially used to deal with the orcs' Behemoth. The profit this time is at least 400,000 gold coins. As expected, there is no
Nothing is more valuable than selling arms on the battlefield."
Eliza paused, but there was some hesitation in her words.
"Isn't it contrary to our original intention to wait for the war to escalate?"
Hearing this, I could only smile bitterly. Of course I don't want the war to escalate, but this is a situation laid out by Chaos. What can I do before I have the ability to break it?
Reach out and crush Umdiroken to death? I think I will most likely die.
"I also want to stop the war immediately, but peace cannot be said. Only when enough blood has been shed can one truly hope for peace and understand the value of peace. I only hope that after this war, the Northland will calm down a bit.
Year, give us enough time. By the way, since I have nothing to do at home for the time being, I'm afraid I will take a long detour."
Do you want to mediate the war? Do you want both sides to return to the negotiating table obediently? In addition to a neutral stance, the most important thing is the strength to attract attention from both sides. But right now, I don’t have both conditions. I don’t know how to stop it.
rise.
"A long journey? Are there more important things?"
"Yes. There are three days left before the Winter Veil Festival, which is also the day when the knights of the Land of Arashi are awarded the title."
"Going back to Donglan to celebrate the festival? You will have so much free time, right?"
"Of course it's a festival, but it's not just with humans. The day when knights are conferred specifically refers to a kind of knight unique to the Lan Kingdom, so you can understand."
"You mean...Aurora Knight?"
"The Winter Veil Festival is also the day we agreed with Bingxing. If we miss it, we have to wait until next year. Aren't we lacking strength now? If I bring them back, maybe it will be enough."
The Winter Veil Festival every year is the day when the altar agreed between the Royal Family of Arashi and the Ice Og is to be opened. Only on that day can the royal family members retrieve the reborn Ice Og. If it had been a year later, the formation of the Aurora Knights would also have been a year later.
, since the frontline fighting is now blocked by the expected heavy snow, it is normal to take a detour to do business.
"Okay, if nothing happens, let's talk later."
"The latest news is that the Elf Kingdom's army is led by King Atrian of the Tassel Kingdom. He is the target you want me to pay attention to."
"......I see."
Sighing, as expected, I knew that he was quite ambitious and would not miss such a good opportunity.
"Can you tell me about his relationship with you?"
Eliza's question made me fall into memories, thinking of that sunny and carefree elf.
"...Probably, it's similar to the relationship between you and me."
"Ahhhhh! You really like men! Who broke you, Adam or Corus? I'm going to chop him up now!"
I was immediately speechless, and "sure enough", this is all this and that, Eliza, did you always think I was crooked?
"Don't think wrongly, I'm not interested in men! What I'm talking about is the relationship between master and apprentice, and in the end, I was chopped off with a knife. Hey, this relationship seems to be the same between master and apprentice in our line. Heloise,
Are you really cursed? Why did you end up like this?"
"I don't know. I only know that it's true that you chopped me up, and you chopped me twice!"
Well, master and disciple share the same destiny. You look at me and I look at you, with tears in your eyes and trembling with excitement. It seems that we are all miserable people.
"Go to hell! You unfilial person! I don't have a disciple like you!"
Well, judging from the big bite of the bird, I probably misunderstood it. The dead cat just remembered the past and became mad with anger.
He casually grabbed the dead cat by the neck, shook it twice, turned her around three times, and put her into the wastebasket specially prepared for her.
"Ahem, it seems this is really a tradition. Eliza, remember to take a character test first when you accept a disciple."
"Don't worry, Master, I have no intention of accepting a disciple at all. You two will show me what to do with those naughty children who have to worry about training and will probably kill their teachers when they grow up."
I don’t know why, but when I heard this nonsense, I felt inexplicably sad. Could it be that I brought it on myself?
"Well, let's end this topic here. Eliza, be careful with Atrian. In a sense, he is still your senior brother and will definitely be difficult to deal with." (To be continued...)
