Scene 131: The Millennium Empire

When the Dark Dragon was passed to Odin's generation, the Miner people's civilization and rule reached its peak. However, beneath the prosperity was a discordant note: at that time, the protagonist on the earth was not the one who now occupies Warnd.

The dominant Black Iron People are just barbarians in the mountains and forests, and the main members of the Black Iron People, humans and mountain dwarves, are all vassals of the Min'er people. The Min'er people have no regard for the Black Iron People.

His attitude was very indifferent, especially when the Dark Dragon arrived in Odin's generation, the empire imposed excessive conquests and became more and more harsh on its vassal nations. Odin once conquered the humans on the Great Plains to build fortresses on the glaciers, and moved the dwarves to the Cloud and Mist Mountains.

Among them, these two great migrations alone caused the dwarves and humans to lose nearly half of their populations.

The Min'er people do this to their own vassal peoples, not to mention other Black Iron people, usually with bloody suppression. And they don't pay attention to other races other than the Black Iron people.

At that time, the Silver Elves and Mist Elves had already had their own kingdoms. Although most of them were isolated from the world, they still had to deal with the outside world. However, the Min'er people were aloof and ignored these silver people.

The Buga people who established the city on the Shining Coast took a high look - these wizards were said to be the keepers of the Tower of Babel and the descendants of the Ochidu scholars.

As for the dragons, that era was caught up in the famous Otto Rebellion, and they had no time to care about anything else, let alone deal with the outside world.

The Min'er people became more and more proud day by day, and their rule became more and more harsh. One day, the conflicts erupted like a volcano. As recorded in history, the opportunity came from Odin's command to the fog.

The elves collaborated with the Miner people to go to the Great Glacier to participate in the battle against the barbarians. This order deeply hurt the sensitive and proud self-esteem of the fog elves, so of course they rejected this unreasonable request without mercy.

Odin was furious and immediately ordered Sebos to lead an army to attack the Laurel Forest where the Kingdom of the Mist Elves was located. This was the fuse of the War of the Saints and the beginning of the Yuyue War between the Miner people and the Mist Elves.

"He has to be angry," the Queen of the Wind said, sighing to herself: "Odin is a smart man. He sees all the conflicts within the empire, and he wants to use it to make us surrender.

To scare others, but what he didn’t expect was that we would dare to refuse.”

Odin acted too hastily. Brando frowned and thought that when he accepted the inheritance of the Dark Dragon, he once met the Emperor of the Miner people in a dream. The impression left by the other party on him was not the same.

He is not the kind of headstrong person, but when he was trying to figure out the mentality of the elves, he made a huge mistake - the people of silver also have their own pride. The mist elves are not vassals of the Min'er people, how can they bow to the Min'er people?

Become a minister.

St. Osor knew what he was thinking when she saw his face. She shook her head and said: "The will of the Dark Dragon is not so easy to reject. You can't imagine how powerful the Miner people were in that era.

Brando, you know that the Silver Elves are brave and good at fighting, but they may not be able to win even if they face a legion of Miner people. Let alone us."

"Then you..." Brando asked puzzledly.

"We were warned in advance." Feng Hou replied word for word.

"What!?"

"We have obtained the promise of the Buga people," Feng Hou slowed down and said slowly: "In fact, the mainland has been dissatisfied with the Min'er people for a long time. Needless to say, within the empire, outside the empire, the Silver Elves are also dissatisfied.

Well, no matter the fog elves, no one wants to be a marginalized person. The promise of the Buga people is like an opportunity for us. Soon the silver elves also joined this secret alliance. Coincidentally, it seemed that the underworld

There is destiny in the underworld. At this time, the human resistance army that was suppressed by the Miner people also crossed the wasteland and returned to Warnd under the leadership of the King of Fire Geert——"

"We signed the covenant that has been passed down to this day in the White Rock Wilderness today, which is the oath you call the Holy Covenant. From then on, the War of the Saints began, and everything that happened after that...

You know it."

When Brando heard this, he did not ask questions, because he knew that these were the history that he was familiar with, and what the elf sister was going to tell him today must be another unknown secret. Sure enough, in a moment,

After silence, Feng Hou spoke again: "But in fact, there are several doubts in the entire Saint War. The biggest doubt is - later we confirmed with the Buga people in private that the reason why they participated in the war was because they obtained the giant dragon.

commitment, and they had not sent any invitations to us before that."

"...As for the giant dragon, the situation is similar."

Brando raised his eyebrows, faintly smelling a conspiracy in this passage.

"Girt, the King of Fire, received mysterious guidance before crossing the dark wasteland. In the early years, I, Gilt, and Faenzan used to adventure together on the continent, although he later became the leader of the resistance.

We lost contact after that, but I believe that he will not lie on this issue - not to mention that Faenzan and Airanta have similar experiences."

"In other words, there is actually a force behind the War of Saints, and this force does not belong to any one of humans, elves, wizards or dragons?" Brando finally couldn't help but stop.

He stepped down and asked.

Fenghou also stopped. The former sage looked at the vast and blue sea of ​​the sublime inland sea outside the cloister. His light purple eyes flashed with an inexplicable brilliance: "Yes, actually I met that person later.

On the one hand, her name is Sophia and she is a witch."

"Female... witch?" Although Brando has had various answers in his mind before, he never thought about the special group of witches. They are the loyal supporters of the Dark Dragon, and even sometimes

To this day, even if they openly oppose the world of order, they have not given up their beliefs at all. Not to mention, the Witch King is the former mistress of the Miner Empire. How can such a group betray the Miner people?

The Queen of the Wind nodded: "This group of witches are the witches from Queen's Throne. They and the witches from the Black Moon of the Thirteenth Month are the two most unique witches in the witch world. Sophia is not her name. They are the two witches."

The orthodox successor of each generation is called Sophia, just like the Dragon of Darkness. After the War of the Saints, she personally found me and told me all this."

"Why?" Brando asked in confusion.

"Because of the Black Prophecy."

"Black Prophecy?"

Fenghou skipped this question and asked herself: "Brando, do you think a smart man like Odin would fall into his own people's scheme? Is it because he trusts the witches too much? No.

, not so. Later I thought about it carefully, and I am afraid he already knew all this. When we started the uprising, even though humans, dwarves, elves and bugans, there were also a few other ethnic groups such as dwarfs and halflings.

We are united together. But we are not sure whether we can truly defeat the empire. The power of the Min'er people is beyond the imagination of today's people——"

This is the second time she has said this, but in the eyes of Saint Osor, Queen of the Wind, this seems to be a matter of course, because the Miner Empire ruled by the Dragon of Darkness is so terrifying. "But they

After all, we were defeated." Brando comforted. "No," Fenghou shook her head resolutely, "It's not as simple as you think. Brando and the Min'er people participated in suppressing our uprising. From the beginning to the end, only Seber

Si and Tumen's legions, Sebos belongs to the Dark Dragon's Forbidden Army, and Teacher Tumen's army is just a militia. The Min'er people have seven legions, and these seven legions play an important role in the entire War of the Saints.

, it has never appeared from beginning to end.”

"What!?" Brando was really surprised this time. If the seven legions of the Miners did not appear in the early stages of the War of the Saints, it could be explained that they did not pay attention, but it was not until the Four Sages and Sebos

After the decisive battle, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the dynasty of the Min'er people had come to an end at that time, and even Odin, the dragon of darkness, had to personally participate in the battle. Under such circumstances, the Min'er people were still hiding their clumsiness.

The possibility is too small, unless the so-called seven legions of the Min'er people are nothing but a complete scam. But, is this possible?

Fenghou continued: "In fact, until we invaded the Alkash region, we still thought that the Dark Dragon had arranged a trap to make us convinced that we had won. The only ones who had doubts were only the majority of them.

In our hearts, we more or less feel that our little power may not allow Odin to go to war in such a big way. Until Odin personally participated in the final battle and lost, we dared to believe that all this was true. In fact, it has always been

In the final war, Odin and others did not use their strongest power."

At this point, she paused: "You are also a planeswalker, Brando, do you know what kind of power the real planeswalker has? It is extraordinary power, the power of a world. This power is in the planeswalker

There is a self-contained system in the world, and the power we have, whether it is magic or physical strength, is basically two levels of power. Unless we can use the power of the entire world to fight against the self-contained system of the Planeswalkers.

The power of the world, otherwise we would not be able to win. To put it simply, the planeswalker himself is actually a god. He is like a god who came here from a distant world. He controls all the rules of that world, and the entire world.

All creatures and powers obey his orders unconditionally. To fight against him, one must first become the god of our world. But as we all know, the god of our world has long been far away from the disputes of the world. So, theoretically, we are

It is impossible to defeat Odin..."

"But the planeswalker also needs to grab resources. He can't squander his power without limit. Odin just changed a way to grab power from this world to support the power of his world. You only need to find it from this source.

The way to defeat him is not without hope of victory, and in fact, isn’t that exactly what you did, Lord Fenghou.”

"You, like us at that time, have overestimated the problem, but the problem is that the Dragon of Darkness is not just one person. He can draw power from us, and he can also draw power from other people.

As an emperor of an empire, with so many people supporting him, will he really come to fight us alone?" St. Osol asked calmly as if he had been prepared for this question.

Brando was stunned. He remembered that Master Fenghou didn't say this last time, not to mention that it wasn't described this way in history: "But he came to challenge you single-handedly. Is it because he is too confident?"

"Odin is no longer a young boy. He is the supreme leader of a huge empire. It is impossible for him to do reckless things for such a false reputation... In fact, Faenzan and I saw some clues during the battle. Later,

Before Odin died, he asked us to keep his secret. This also confirmed my guess."

"He asked you... the four sages to keep secrets for him. What secret was that?" Brando asked this question and realized something was wrong. He quickly made up for it: "I'm sorry, I mean... if it's inconvenient

If so, forget it." He suddenly thought that since the Wind Queen said these words, the four sages must have agreed to Odin's request at that time. Some of the things Tulaman had said to him before were also proved from the side.

This being the case, he couldn't let Feng Hou be a person who broke his promise, not to mention that heroes like the Four Sages were unlikely to go back on their word.

But unexpectedly, Fenghou himself shook his head indifferently and said: "Actually, it's nothing. I came out today just to tell you the truth. I have thought about it. Since you are the person chosen by Odin, there are some things that should be given to you.

Know."

Brando closed his mouth, but frowned slightly. He suddenly heard a farewell meaning from the elf sister's tone. He vaguely felt that this person who had been with him for so long was like an elder.

The sage who is taking care of him may have to choose to leave. Saint Osor pondered for a moment before slowly answering: "The secret he asked us to keep is very simple, which is to make the outcome of the Saint's War an established fact.

, in fact, he had expected all this, and he told us something. In fact, the Dragon of Twilight never really died. The first generation of Dark Dragon, the Azure Knight, only seriously injured it and let it retreat into the Sea of ​​Chaos.

, but the clock hand of the judgment on the Doomsday has never slowed down.”

"There is such a legend in the Black Prophecy, saying that a hero will be born from mortals, holding the key to destiny, and opening another door for the future of this world. That is after the twilight of all things and gods, order rises above the ashes

After experiencing the disaster of Babel Fortress, civilization was once lost on the earth. Many people - including our generation thought that the hero among mortals was the Azure Knight. Because he was

He caused the stars to fall to the earth and ushered in the age of mortals."

"However, fate played a cruel joke on us. This is a secret that only a few people know. Since the establishment of the empire of the Min'er people, they have been engaged in a brutal war with the Twilight Legion outside the elemental boundary. Therefore, Warnd has

A brief respite.”

Elf Sister smiled slightly, a little tiredly: "We thought we were doing the right thing, the War of the Saints was just a war against oppression, but from the very beginning, we guessed the beginning, but not the outcome.

It happened to be one of our own who gave the Dark Dragon a fatal blow from behind. At the last moment of the collapse of the dynasty, Odin ordered the seven legions to permanently station outside the elemental boundaries, and he joined forces with several other planeswalkers to seal the

This is the last gift he left to us. He is a stupid guy, but this gift is precious. This gift consumes the life of him and everyone around him.

Strength, therefore became the reason for his inevitable failure."

The Queen of the Wind sighed softly: "In fact, this is also the reason why the witch betrayed him. Odin does not believe in fate. Everything he wants to do is to prove that everything said in the Black Prophecy may not be right.

The world does not necessarily need to be destroyed before it can be reborn, and there will never be a savior. But the witches firmly believe in the power of prophecy, and the end of the world is bound to come. Odin has proven that he is not the person in the prophecy, so Miner

People must make room for the people of the Black Iron. They are waiting for the final prophecy of the Black Prophecy to arrive. The witches of the Moon of Law are the executors of this prophecy."

Brand has been unable to speak for a long time. He has actually guessed some of the facts, but it was only confirmed today: This is the inheritance of the Fool. It is the arrogant struggle of a person who does not know his own abilities. Although it is extremely ridiculous, it is worth letting go.

People always remember.

Because people will never bow to fate——

Everything came to light, and he couldn't help but touch his chest. In a sense, he was also the person who overestimated his own capabilities. Whether in the eyes of the noble Eruin, the princess, or others.

In the eyes of others, perhaps even the Buga people who support him behind the scenes, and even the people around him, may not be able to understand his ideals. He knows that many people only stand because they firmly believe that he can change something.

When you are around him, you may not agree with his true inner thoughts.

What exactly does he want this world to be like? Brando did not answer, but his eyes had already crossed the sublime inland sea. He knew that there, outside the boundaries of civilization, there were countless unexplored lands. The future of civilization

It is necessary to be trapped in one place, but the power of dusk is not invincible.

These ideas are somewhat incompatible with this mired world, and are even too far away. Just like the Cruz people can never work hand in hand with the Faenzan people, it is impossible for the wind elves to integrate into the human world without reservation.

, not to mention the undead, and countless troubles and contradictions. But will he become a fool like Odin? Brando feels that he cannot answer the question he raised for a while.

, maybe not, just like he doesn’t agree with all of Odin’s ideas.

"Maybe the problem isn't here." He said slowly.

"The glorious deeds of the four sages and the covenant of hundreds of tribes on the mainland may not be a mistake. Odin may be doing what he thinks is right, but there are many ways to accomplish one thing. He firmly believes that fate can be changed.

But he regards himself as the savior——"

Brando looked at the magnificent scenery under the fleet. The thick clouds dispersed like cotton wool blown away by the wind, revealing the shining golden sea, but he was thinking about more things.
