What's wrong with building a steel torrent in a dungeon?

So she said, "You are all ambitious people. You are not afraid of power, and you will not believe in those false gods! You are like-minded with us in Orila City. To be honest, I have long wanted to establish such an organization to compete with them."

"That's great!" Tazdin said, "But does the Lord City Lord want to create a new force? Or does he want to stay within the framework of the Vienna Alliance..."

"The Vienna Alliance already has considerable influence, and they have signed a number of cooperation treaties. If we can make use of it, it will definitely be much better than starting over." Fran said, "And the Vienna Alliance is not just a political alliance, but also an economic alliance. As for the way we cooperate, we can

Refer to Aurora City and the Orcs, if you don't mind."

"No problem! Of course not!" Tazdin smiled and said, "We have prepared a port and are waiting for the city lord to take it over. We have also selected more than a thousand young talents to come to Biesong Port to study."

"It's the same with our Eagle Empire."

"It seems like you guys came prepared!" Fran said with a smile

"We finally have a chance to fight, so we must seize it!" Tazdin Gou smiled and said, "You are also very clear about our geopolitical environment! The Elven Empire has always wanted to annex us, and other forces are afraid of the strength of the Northern Alliance, so no one comes to help us. The dwarves are willing to help.

We can get help, but there are a lot of conditions attached. It is better for us to be self-reliant.”

"It's the same with our Eagle Empire. The Inya Continent is where the Northern Alliance and the Chinese Alliance fight the most fiercely. All forces are forced to fight and become part of them, or even become their puppets! Any force that wants to stay out of trouble will be attacked by them. It is because of the existence of Master Allende that we can

We have always maintained our independence, but life has been very difficult, with sanctions coming at every turn."

"I understand your situation!" Fran said, "The Northern Alliance and the Chinese Alliance are unjust and are pursuing hegemony. If we in Orila City don't take action soon, we will soon follow in your footsteps! I, Fran, would love to have you allies to fight against these overlords!"

"Very good!"

"Thank you, Lord Fran."

"You can write to the country immediately and tell them that Orila City agrees to form an alliance! As for the follow-up cooperation measures, we will slowly negotiate later! Don't worry, Orila City is not an elf, let alone a dwarf. I will definitely give you a fair cooperation plan. As for Her Majesty Margaret, I will discuss it with her, so you don't have to worry."

Seeing that Fran agreed to their request, the three of them felt relieved! They raised their glasses and clinked them with Fran, then drank the wine tacitly.

After finishing the meeting with the three people, Fran was about to get some desserts, but found that a plate with frosted cake was handed to Fran.

"Thank you!" Fran picked up the plate happily, but the next moment she was stunned.

Because the one who handed her the dessert was none other than the Elf High Priest Galannodir.

"Lord City Lord, I wonder if I can say a few words to you." said Galannodier.

"It's your honor!" Fran finished the small piece of frosted cake in no time, and then went to a secluded corner with Galanodiel.

"I don't know, what's the matter, Lord Priest?" Fran said, "Although the Elven Empire didn't do a very decent job on this matter, you are different. You are our comrade-in-arms from Orila City. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

"Thank you, City Lord!" Galanodi paused, then said: "What I want to talk about is related to the Elf Empire."

Chapter 212: Ambition of Sacrifice

"The city lord should have heard that the class division within the Elf Empire is very serious." Galannodil said.

"I've heard a little bit about this." Fran nodded. "I heard that the elven nobles call themselves upper-class elves and look down on elves born in ordinary families. I also heard that the High Priest has always wanted to bridge the rift between these classes and allow more elves born in ordinary families to have their own development space."

"Yes." Galanodier said, "It's just that this is very difficult. That's why I came here to ask Lord Fran for advice."

"Please teach me?" Fran was stunned.

"During this period, I visited the city of Orila and Vienna! Many of the decrees you issued have eliminated the gap between the nobles and the common people. Especially in the city of Orila, the people have obtained many positions that were previously only held by nobles through their own efforts, and even became leaders, like Legion Commander Zhu Chongba and Legion Commander Huang Shang." said Galanodil.

"Do you mean that you also want to follow the example of Orila City and carry out reforms?" Fran asked.

"Yes." Galannodiel nodded.

"Gallannodier, as a friend, I advise you not to do such a thing." Fran said.

"Huh? Why?"

"Your idea is very good. In your opinion, this will allow more outstanding civilians to enter the leadership class and take on more important positions, so that the selection of talents will no longer be based on bloodline. But do you know what the nobles think of this?" Fran said: "For the city of Orila, this is a reform, but for the elves, this is a revolution.

what!"

"revolution??"

"You are dividing their pie and snatching their interests. How much resistance do you think there will be?" Fran said, "Blocking someone's path to wealth is like killing their parents!"

"But... this is for the long-term benefit of the empire!" Galanodier said, "Although some nobles will lose their interests in the short term, a strong and prosperous elven empire will not be bad for them."

Fran looked at the pious Galanodier and said helplessly, "I never thought that you, uh... would be such a pure spirit. You can go to Vienna and the city of Aurora to see how miserable those nobles and members of big families who have lost their power and have no power live. They are used to being...

"Parasits have long since lost their way to life. This is not just cutting off their source of income, it is already destroying their lives."

Galannodiel did not speak, but fell into deep thought.

Fran knew that Galanodir was not completely convinced, so she continued, "Of course, you elves are different from us. The bloodline of the elven nobles themselves means that the more powerful the divine talent, even if they are not good enough, they will not be as miserable as the nobles of the Holy Roel Empire. But the road to reform is full of thorns.

If you don't do it right, you will be doomed. Even so, will you continue to move forward? "

"Yes!" Galanodil said firmly, "Since I have become the chief priest and the spokesperson of the god Shiloh, I must consider the entire empire and all the elves. If anyone dares to imprison all the elves for their own selfish desires, I will definitely break the shackles used to imprison them without hesitation, even if I

"

"So..." Fran paused: "What if the prisoner is not just a noble, but also the God Xiluo? Will you attack the God Xiluo?"

Galanodiel obviously hadn't thought about this question. She was stunned for a long time, but finally nodded and said, "If the god Xiluo really did such a thing! I would definitely not hesitate! This war has allowed me to see many things that I would not have seen before."

"You are a great elf!" After hearing this, Fran couldn't help but exclaimed.

"If you were me, Lord of the City, how would you help the civilians of the Empire?" Galanodier asked. This was also the real purpose of her visit to Fran.

"If it were me..." Fran said, "There is an old saying in our country... Who is our enemy and who is our friend? This is the primary question of the revolution! No matter how powerful an individual is, he or she can't make a difference alone. I think you can use your influence to find a group of like-minded people first."

"Then what?"

"Then, you need to arm your friends with ideas! Teach them to read, teach them to master advanced technology, master advanced productivity, and then master the economy and achieve self-government. Only in this way can you independently fight against the corrupt power of the Elf Empire."

"This is what you did when you first arrived in Orila City." Galanodil said

"Yes." Fran said, "Although I succeeded, the process was still extremely dangerous, and a lot of luck was involved. You are different. You will face an enemy thousands of times stronger than I was back then! The road you are taking is also thousands of times more difficult than mine. My friend, I sincerely hope you don't take this path.

road."

"I understand. Thank you, City Lord!" Galannodier bowed respectfully to Fran and then left.

Looking at Galanodil's receding back, Fran sighed softly.

"Can't bear to part with this beautiful elf?" Christina said teasingly. She had just listened to the whole conversation between the two.

"Yes!" Fran said, "Of course! It's not just that she's pretty! She's a noble idealist! It's just a pity that the reality of the Elf Empire is too cruel, and the gap between it and her ideal is too big, so she's destined to be shattered to pieces."

"But if she succeeds! Or even if she succeeds in taking a small step, it will cause the Elf Empire to fall into chaos, which may be a good thing for us."

"Yes! The Elven Empire is not like the Dwarves. They are our neighbors and they regard the entire Calradia continent as their own backyard. If they can't take care of themselves, it will be of great benefit to us. But..." Fran paused, "I really can't bear to see such a kind elf walk on this thorny road.

The thorny road."

"Maybe we can help her."

"How can I help?" Fran asked curiously.

"The elves occupy a large area in the eastern part of the Feruman Empire. If we help Galanodir gain a foothold in Calradia and train and educate a group of qualified elven civilians for her to fight against the Elf Empire together with her, perhaps she can really succeed, or at least not fail so quickly!"

"That's a good idea!" Fran's eyes lit up.

And the education is not just for elves, it can even be for dwarves, wild sand people, and winter people! Any nation that wants to break free from the shackles of imperial power and divine power can come here to participate in training and learn knowledge!

By then, the Feruman Empire will become the cradle of resistance against gods and aristocratic rule!

Chapter 213 Golem

The New Year passed quickly.

After several fierce wars, the entire continent of Calradia finally showed signs of returning to peace.

As the warm breath of spring returns to Calradia, everything is reviving. New sprouts are gradually emerging from the abandoned farmland, and the hardworking people are dismantling the ruins, looking for usable materials, and then building new homes.

Only those who have truly experienced war will appreciate how hard peace is to come by.

After a whole winter of wrangling, the Holy Alliance finally reached a consensus.

A few days later, the Holy Alliance united various forces (including Fran) and issued a joint statement, announcing that the Holy Alliance would manage (divide) the Feruman Empire on its behalf.

The west bank of the Soul-Guiding River is managed by the Vienna Alliance for 999 years. The east bank of the Soul-Guiding River is managed by a total of 18 forces for the same period of 999 years.

Of course, the Feruman Empire did not collapse because of this. Although 90% of the territory was managed on behalf of the Empire, the kind-hearted Holy Alliance still left a little remnant for the Empire. Over there is the territory around the rift leading to the Demon Race space.

The terrain there is harsh and cold, and there is basically not much output, making it very suitable to be the new capital of the Feruman Empire.

As the saying goes, the emperor guards the country's gates, and the king dies for the country. This story has become a good story.

Of course, although the capital was set up there, it was impossible for such an important place as the space rift to be completely handed over to the Feruman Empire. The surrounding fortresses used to defend against the demons were all taken over by the coalition forces of the Holy Alliance. The elves and dwarves agreed to rotate every five years, with the Northern Alliance and the Chinese Alliance stationed respectively.

By the way, help maintain law and order in the new capital of the Feruman Empire.

It can be said to be very fair, just and open.

The new emperor of the Feruman Empire also fully agreed to this. Not only did he not show any anger, he even laughed while signing the treaty.

The reason was simple: the new emperor was only a two-year-old child.

Although Arthas had killed all the members of the royal family before this, there were so many royal descendants that some would slip through the net. No one knew how the dwarves had found a child with the royal blood of Feruman from a remote corner.

This child was just a woodcutter's posthumous daughter one second ago, and the next moment he became the legitimate emperor of the Feruman Empire, which has been powerful for hundreds of years. Fran saw this and couldn't help but sigh that personal struggle is important, but the course of history must also be taken into consideration.

The matter of the Feruman Empire came to a perfect end, and it was naturally time to have a party.

The dwarves had already begun preparations for the military parade. After everything was settled, the long-delayed military parade was held.

In order to stand out from other countries, each faction tried their best to equip themselves with the best equipment. The elves and dwarves were even more eager to compete with each other on this matter.

The elves' honor guard is famous for being all handsome men and beautiful women, wearing gorgeous yet elegant (hollow) armor, giving people a feeling of being a fairy from heaven. Regardless of their combat effectiveness, at least their appearance is amazing. This is simply a standard world-saving team in a myth book.

Therefore, every time the Elf Guard of Honor appears, it will attract a large number of spectators to stop and watch and cheer. The Elf Guard of Honor has also become the most popular and prestigious unit on the entire continent.

Anyway, for the common people, they don’t understand things like combat effectiveness, all that matters is that it looks good.

In front of the Elf Honor Guard, the armies of other forces pale in comparison and there is no comparison at all in terms of image.

Of course, there is one exception, and that is the dwarves!

The dwarves also knew that they could never compare to the elves in terms of appearance and refinement, so they changed their approach and brought out the war weapons that the dwarves were most proud of.

When it was the dwarves' turn to enter, Fran in the audience felt vibrations at her feet. She looked up and saw humanoid steel monsters over five meters tall slowly approaching, each holding a huge weapon in their hands. Judging from the weight, a slight wave of the weapon could cause a section of the city wall to collapse in an instant.

This is the Golem Army that the dwarves are most proud of.

Although Krelz once told Fran that the so-called golem was actually just a large-sized armor.

But this so-called "armor" is really a bit too big.

Five meters! This is a high-speed mobile siege weapon!

Inside each golem, there is a dwarf called a driver, who drives the golem by operating various mechanisms inside. Of course, the real driving force behind the golem is the mechanical core given by the dwarf god, so each golem is extremely precious.

The Golem Legion can be said to be the most elite and top-level troops of the Dwarf Empire. They are rare in number and expensive. They are not easily displayed.

Although their numbers are small, their role on the battlefield is decisive. As long as the dwarves send out the golem army, it basically means the end of the war.

In the battle with the elves, a golem once rushed directly to the Tree of Life and pulled it out, causing the elves' position to collapse. The arrows shot by the elves' archers were like toothpicks and could not hurt it at all.

From the existing records till now, the Golem Legion has never suffered any defeat. Even the Beast King who has reached the Holy Realm, when faced with many Golems charging together, was unable to turn the tide of the battle, and finally had to lead the Beastmen's troops to retreat.

When the golems finally arrived in front of the auditorium, the huge shadows cast by their bodies instantly enveloped the entire auditorium.

In front of such a huge monster, Fran instinctively felt the insignificance of a human being.

Fortunately, Arthas's undead army encountered the Elven Empire. If they had encountered the Dwarven Golem Army, the undead's surprise attack would probably be useless. Just like ants against elephants, no matter how many there are, they can't kill the golems, let alone hurt the riders. But the golems can sweep down a large number of undead with just a wave of their hands.

When the gap in strength reaches a certain level, no matter how many there are, it is meaningless.

Watching these huge monsters slowly walking away into the distance, Fran finally understood why the Chinese Alliance was not worried about the undead wreaking havoc on the continent of Calradia. With such war weapons, they would not have to worry even if Arthas turned the entire continent into an undead breeding farm. Instead, they should be worried about their old rivals, the elves.

The appearance of the golem army immediately stole the limelight from the elf guard of honor.

It seemed that the dwarves won the parade in the end.

However, before the dwarves could rejoice for long, a series of deep horn calls appeared in the sky above Gondolin, and then the warriors of the Vienna Alliance slowly walked towards the audience.

Chapter 214 Hero

In the audience, the audience waited for the approaching Viennese army with complicated expressions.

The reason why the elves and dwarves put so much effort into preparing for the military parade is to tell the world that even though they did not participate in the battle, they are still the strongest fighting force in the world.

If they were to deal with the undead, the war would be over in minutes.
