These mages and scholars who are proud of their transcendence from the world can finally understand that the screams of the Orbis nobles are not just because of weakness and incompetence. See clearly, but as the class that rules Orbis, they can detect fatal crises only by instinct.And time is not on their side.

Even if the strangers say they want to provide another field of battle, let them spread their ideas in their most influential publications, and ensure that this field is open and fair, the reality will not change in any way.The nobles of Orbis could not win on the battlefield of the real, nor could they win on the battlefield of the spirit, and they had to fight not only some powerful weapons, demagogues, heretics and their heresies Faith and so on... these superficial things.

From the perspective of Orbis' ruling class, the kingdom is now like a giant tree with parasitic trees. The more vigorous this rootless tree is, the weaker the country is, so they regret it, but the truth may be somewhat different from what they imagined. the difference.The Strangers don't hide from mages and scholars how they organize people, just as they don't hide from those who are organized, and the members of their communication services candidly point out what they are doing as proof of theory, Just as they guide their own teams and students, they are indeed trying their best to prevent the people gathered here from living without them, but their purpose is not to destroy this country.

They are not here to occupy this country.

This conclusion is even more chilling than they are.

The original intention of these mages and scholars is to fight the truth with the strangers, but they have not been able to achieve an effective result so far. Every time the strangers say "Yes, we agree...but we also need to see... ..." words to deal with sharp questions, constantly blurring and changing the positions of both sides, until the opponent realizes that he is thinking in the way of a foreigner.If the archmage is present, it may be possible to eliminate the heresy by destroying the body. However, most of these voluntary mages and scholars are no more than forty years old. Although they have a strong desire for knowledge, they do not have rock-solid firmness The will, the longer they stay in the environment of foreigners, the more their thinking will be eroded, and they will gradually fall into myths.

The more bewildered, the stronger the temptation of the place of origin of the stranger.

As talents who study a series of studies, these mages and scholars have always wanted to get rid of the shackles of the world, looking for strength and freedom of the soul, but before the necromancers researched the magic of immortality, people still could not break free from their bodies. As the wise men of the survivors in this land, it is impossible for them to abandon their beliefs as easily as those ignorant mortals and throw themselves into the arms of foreigners.

Having said that, it was an invitation from the capital of wisdom of foreigners!

Even if it's just a brief description, it makes people yearn for it.No matter how heretical knowledge is, it has its own reason if it can be manifested in the world, and this reason is different from the unpredictable and unrepeatable power talent, which can be implemented in the hands of complete mortals.The strangers spread their skills and their theories together, maybe not all, but as long as they go to the city of heresy, they will definitely be able to explore their true source of strength.Who can not be tempted?

However, reinforcements from the Five Regions and Ten Nations to Orbis are on their way and will arrive soon.

These mages and scholars are just part of the plan to confuse their opponents. They have such a gloomy mentality. In the name of debate, they hope to find out the strength of the foreigners as accurately as possible before the war.At this point, they really didn't do very well.Part of it is due to self-esteem. Foreigners have indeed invaded Orbis, but it is alarmist to say that the country is about to die. How can they condescend to such a low thing for those stupid rulers?If it weren't for the pressure from the Mage Alliance...but the strangers received their hostile guests so sincerely and friendlyly. Regardless of the similarities and differences of views, the wisdom and character shown by the strangers they have come into contact with are far better than Most of the human beings are regarded as companions by the monster-free elves; the other part is that the strangers never take the initiative to talk about their weapons and battles in their daily life. Even if they are mentioned occasionally, the description is vague, which is a reasonable Be wary, just as strangers call them "honored guests" instead of "dear friends".

The white boat cruises the sea, and there are hundreds of foreigners and their followers ten times that number in the royal city. Facing the elite coalition forces of the Five Regions and Ten Nations, who will win?

These mages and scholars do not know.

There was a vague feeling in their hearts, but no one said it.

They don't want their premonition to come true, and they don't think it will come true. They instinctively reject evil thoughts that will shake the foundation of their beliefs.What an amazing lineup, led by the Alliance of Mages and led by three Archmages!Only when the two countries are at war will such force be used, right?Is the strength of foreigners in Orbis comparable to that of a country?Just with the current population?The new city they built did pose a threat to the king, but they were also surrounded by the Orbis.The fear of the king and nobles is not easily understood by outsiders, but their "excessive" worries have also received sufficient responses.Is there anything else they haven't considered?

The price of an archmage's dispatch is very high, and they will never return empty-handed.The strangers only have two elves here, and the rest don't have the slightest talent for strength. The mercenaries they bought are even ungrateful, and the only thing they can rely on is the white ship, right?But the Mage Alliance already has a countermeasure. In fact, due to the powerful strength of the White Ship during the battle at the dock, the high-level mages are bound to win it.

These mages and scholars have a hundred reasons to convince themselves, but no matter how strong the reasons, there is always a whisper in their ears:

Yeah?Is the League of Mages guaranteed to win?

This voice is also lingering on the heads of the nobles of Orbis, but they attribute it to the shadow brought by the painful lesson. Only blood can pay the price of blood. They have endured too much wronged, and now they can't wait.The many deeds of foreigners in the lower city have dealt a heavy blow to the nobles of Orbis. Whoever can keep those pariahs alive, they are their dogs. The strangers have taught them this ruthless fact, and even the old servants of the house hoard them. When the way of food sighed and secretly sent the delicate and beautiful daughter to the lower city, the nobles already knew that no one could be trusted.

The Stranger must be wiped out completely.

Therefore, only half of their decadence comes from the sincerity, and the half-truth and half-false can deceive people the most. Otherwise, how could the inheritors of these ancient families be so fragile?It's just that after the humiliating peace contract, it would be more expensive to move the allies of the five regions and ten countries, because Orbis failed too quickly and completely, and the mage alliance also needed to carefully evaluate the real power of the foreigners. The contents of the batch of mages and scholars who entered the interior of the foreigners are really shocking, and they may have to evaluate it for a year or two - no matter how much the wilderness and swamps occupied by the foreigners have changed, it is only an inch smaller than the territory of Orbis land, not to mention such a vast area as the Five Regions and Ten Kingdoms?And aren't those foreigners temporarily stabilized now?Although the elves are very precious, and the white ship is priceless, they also have important affairs in the north, which are related to the entire mage alliance, and have reached a critical period.

Fortunately, the foreigner is very ambitious, and not only accepts the fortune, but also takes root in Fusong Port, and manages a good family business.The nobles of Orbis have decided to expel them at any cost, even if they also covet the new city - it is a new land that is a full third of the king's capital!With so many well-drained farmlands, such accessible roads, and such well-established neighborhoods, the transformation of this swamp by foreigners is beyond the reach of Orbis nobles for 100 years. This is not just a matter of wealth.But it doesn't matter if they haven't gained or lost. For a nobler purpose, they are willing to give up the new city.

I only hope that the coalition forces will fight quickly and win a big victory!

The elves, the white ship, and a third of the new capital.No matter who it is, this price tag is attractive enough, even if you despise power like a saint, you still live in the world.After discussion, the Mage Alliance backed down a little, and temporarily shook hands with the north to make peace, so as to free up manpower to help this poor seaside country.It's just that the experience of Orbis has spread throughout the countries, and those people in the north naturally know about it. After the peace talks, they made a request to participate in this matter.However, in their public statement, their purpose is not to add a spoon to the pot, but to be very curious about this "foreigner" who has never heard of it but stir up the wind and rain, so they want to see what they can do.They sent a team led by a median mage. The mere number of less than ten people will not have any important impact on the battle situation, not to mention that they have stated from the beginning that they will obey the battle arrangements and will not act rashly. The mages of the alliance Can't find much reason for rejection.Now that the mages had accepted the observation team, the king and princes naturally had no objection, so the combined army, which actually numbered more than [-] people and claimed to be [-] people, set off.

The nobles of Orbis wept with joy, and the king’s secret orders spread like lightning to all places, requiring the lords to fully cooperate with the coalition forces to enter the country. If any lord has additional claims, then the coalition forces can not only use "appropriate violence" to break through the pass, but also Part of the property can be legally expropriated for military supplies.So after fully understanding the will of the king, the lords also became united against the strangers, and the army passed all the way unimpeded, as if entering a land without people.

At the same time, the capital is calm.At least the surface is calm.

The aristocrats have united like never before. As the ruling class of this country, their strength of unity is astonishing. The relevant news is tightly sealed by them, and due to the suspension of foreign trade by foreigners, only grain trade is barely maintained by sea. A large number of merchants Staying in Fusong Port, those private channels have also been controlled.The stranger did not appear to have received the omen at all.

Their construction is still going on in sequence, the caravan is organized in an orderly manner, the laborers train and work during the day, and attend classes at night, and the entrance to the new city is still guarded by those few guards.Mages and scholars heard some talk recently of how a small waterfall on a rocky slope had to be cleared to install a new alchemical creation that was coming.

But outside the city, many people felt a little uneasy like flying insects before the storm. They whispered in private about the abnormal joy of the nobles and the transfer of some city guards, although they couldn't find anything else More traces, so turning around, they went back to talking about the things that foreigners taught laborers—this time they still treated women equally.Hey, this is really a matter of tut tut tut. Of course, because foreigners are very sensitive about women's affairs, they can't criticize them too much. After all, from time to time, some people trade these trivial things with foreigners A bonus worth mentioning.Although the foreigners can't punish them "outsiders" now, but who knows how they have the means to record their crimes so that they can play tricks on them in the future?

Look at the sad look of those who were expelled now, that elf girl's heart is too small! ——I don't know when and where it started, people outside have already determined that these disputes about women all started from the stranger's flattery to the elf leader.After all, she is a female elf with a temperament of jealousy and hatred. The most important thing is that she is so beautiful. No matter how good a poet is, she can't sing the grace of a strand of her hair, and no matter how good a painter is, she can't describe every detail of her vivid demeanor. One-tenth, in the face of such a stunning beauty (not to mention that she beat a duke into seclusion), which normal man is willing to go against her will?

This strange public opinion reflects the twists and turns of the residents of the capital, but for the time being, no one cares what they think.

Seeing that even the merchants continued to bargain hard with foreigners without realizing it, those mages and scholars who lived in the new urban area became more and more uncomfortable could not bear it any longer.They began to inadvertently mention the mage alliance they belonged to in the discussion. From how it was called to establish under the influence of the monarchs of the Far East, and how it developed so rapidly that it cannot be underestimated now. The status of consultation is different from the tight organization of foreigners. The mage alliance is usually a loose structure, because most mages are proud and arrogant, and they don't pretend to be polite to their own kind. There are only a few things that can unite them—— —like a big, big threat, or a big, big benefit, or both.

The stranger nodded: "Very reasonable."

The mages and scholars who were talking looked strange.

"We're in the league, too," they hinted.

The stranger nodded again: "We know."

The mages and scholars had to further prompt: "What kind of threats and interests do you think can make us unite?"

The stranger laughed: "Maybe the rift is reopening, and the demons are coming again?"

A moment of silence.

"This is really funny," said a mage dryly.

A scholar asked: "For you, such a major event as the reopening of the rift is a crisis worthy of attention?"

"I don't know." The stranger opposite them said, "Maybe we won't know until that day. Now, we can only do what we can do in front of us."

"Don't you think everything you're doing is going too well?"

"It may be so to others, but it is not so to us," said the Stranger. "We know very well that everything we do is not easy, and it looks easy because someone— There are many people who have done the hard work for us, and even so, we are walking on eggshells, not taking it lightly."

"...Forgive us for our stupidity. I only feel that you are in control of everything and take your time." The only female scholar said.

The stranger paused and said, "So, we sincerely invite you all to visit the industrial city. Even though there are so many natural and man-made barriers between countries, regions and groups of people, there are still some common things The pursuit can still make us cross many barriers and resonate with our souls. Although wars that we did not expect occurred, we still look forward to sitting down and communicating with those who stand on the opposite side, rather than using strength and blood Come to ask others to agree that you are right. We are lucky that we did not wait too long for you."

The mage and the scholars looked at each other.

"So, have you ever thought about what would happen if you failed?"

"Everyone is mortal." The stranger laughed. "Of course, we will try our best to avoid any unnecessary sacrifices."

The mages and scholars fell silent again.

Finally, one person made up his mind and said, "You and I have very different fundamental views, but I still admit that your existence in this world is meaningful. Do you know that on the Eastern Avenue at this time, there is—"

He stopped, his face changed suddenly, and he raised his hand to strangle his throat, making a breathless sound.The rest of the crowd turned pale with fright, and got up and left their seats one after another, "Sealing Words!" they shouted, and made defensive gestures, "It's the Archmage!" The mage who was rolling on the ground rushed over.

"Hurry up!"

They took out piles of odds and ends from their pockets and spread them on the floor, randomly picked out a few that were shining and slightly vibrating, and pressed them on the mage one by one, a dazzling light flashed, and a spell broke With a loud voice, the mage who was almost strangled to death by Feng Yanshu coughed vigorously, and supported his body with the support of two strangers.

He covered the wound on his neck with one hand, and turned his head to grab a few gadgets at hand with trembling hands, "What is this...?" He asked with difficulty.

"You can think of it as a magic weapon." The foreigner bit off the cork of the bottle, and poured the flower-scented medicinal powder on the bleeding wound, the wound stopped bleeding at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he was still in shock The rest of the people also ended their inspection of their own bodies with ugly faces, and bent down to pick up the small magic weapons on the ground one by one.

Some magical artifacts reacted in their hands. After they were unsealed according to what the stranger said, a few more people discovered and lifted the hidden dangers on their bodies. That may be because some assassination techniques are more concealed, and the many instruments prepared by the strangers are not able to correspond.It has been safe and sound before, and they never expected that they would learn such a cruel fact in this way today——

From the moment they step into the territory of foreigners, they are eyes and ears that can be discarded at will.

Before entering the new city, these mages and scholars had all received receptions and gifts from certain figures, and they could suspect far more than one object.

While waiting for the elves to arrive, the flames of anger and shame have been tormenting the hearts of these mages and scholars.Feeling agitated, they wanted to reveal some news to the foreigner after the restriction was lifted. Although the foreigner thanked and accepted the friendship, they declined their information.It is related to the faction issue, and they ask mages and scholars to think carefully before making a decision.

Mages and scholars were resettled.Due to the quick handling, this sudden incident was not spread to the outside world, and even among the "foreigners", not many people knew about this mutation.But there's always someone who's going to try to get what they want to know, because that's what they were born to-

"Good job," said the mercenary captain.

"What?" The person who was reciting the regulations in a low voice raised his head, "What did you just say, Carl?"

"I said well done." The mercenary captain said, "It doesn't matter whether that bitch-raised archmage or you hateful little strangers."

His outlander friend closed the ink-smelling workbook, "Because you don't like those mages and scholars?"

"Those idiots whose eyes are above the top." The mercenary captain said, "It's a pity that they didn't kill a few of them. Although this embarrassment can make them calm down, why don't you drive them out smoothly? ?”

"Because it's better for them to stay, of course," said his friend. "They're not our threat. Those on the way are. They've been here so long that they can neither convince us nor accept our offer." Persuasion, because there is still a great difficulty in their hearts. Then, when we prove something, who better than them to be witnesses?"

"So they are idiots. Actually, I really like your reasoning—" The mercenary captain laughed, "It doesn't matter if it's the 'reason' here or the 'reason' over there."

The scarred man looked at the playground below his feet. In this wide open space surrounded by many sports equipment, there were already three rows of metal pipes supported by tripods. , The "foreigners" wearing armbands moved the wooden boxes next to these "iron cannons".In the distance on the sea, the giant white beast exhaled billowing smoke, slowly turned its huge body, raised its long barrel, and pointed at the land again.

Across the breezy harbor, the royal palace on the hill, the green fields and the wide avenue of the royal capital, in a place where the sea breeze does not blow, a young elf sits on the top of a tree, he puts down his telescope, Say to the companion below: "Okay, let's send the coordinates again."

The waves are as soft as a cradle, and the blue waves caress the white hull. Braland is sitting in the cabin with a radio message in his hand.

"It's a nice day today," he said.

He stood up, stretched, and took a breath.

"--fire!"

The Orbis nobles who went out in a panic because of the movement of the white ship at sea heard the voice again—the voice that tore through the air and made them lose their minds. They lost their voices and looked at the calm sea, as if seeing a nightmare come back now.But the nightmare did not repeat itself. Thor's heavy hammer did not fall on their heads this time, but flew over the past and threw it into the depths of the earth.

The heavy artillery shells flew an unimaginable distance in a very short time, and the sirens screamed through the valley. Just as the mages and noble officers who were discussing the war ran out of the tents, the attack from the sea fell on their heads. There were ripples from the magic spell, and these shocking people were not relieved, the shocking blows followed, and the speed of mana replenishment could not keep up with the consumption, and almost everyone could hear the soft sound of the bubble bursting.

The walls were broken.

Countless papers fluttered down like a summer snow.
