Chapter 585 Storm is coming
. Passing through a colorful twisted passage, Ji He saw a bustling city scene with countless green light spots floating in front of him.
Looking up, a train full of flowers passed by at high speed on the track woven by green vines in the sky.
Taking a deep breath, the cool feeling wandered in his chest, and Ji He could clearly feel that the spiritual energy in the air of this city was of excellent quality.
This was Ji He's first time to come to the Elf City.
According to the data records in the database, this city was an important stop on the journey to the west when Feng Qi chose the path of ascending to the god challenge in the previous timeline.
The emergence of the Elf City made them realize that the human forces in other regions have not completely fallen, and the central region has established a new growth system for cooperation with the domain life.
But compared with the pictures and text records in the database, seeing it with your own eyes can bring a stronger sense of shock, as if you have come to a different world.
The humans here have a completely different dressing style from the humans in Star City, and the city's buildings and supporting facilities are completely different.
Standing on the transmission platform, he looked around and suddenly thought of a sentence left by Feng Qi in the database.
This sentence is Feng Qi's evaluation of the Elf City.
[All the beautiful visions of the human beings in our eastern region can be found in the Elf City, but the Elf City has no future. ]
This sentence vividly depicts the prosperity of the Elf City and the tragedy of the future.
The prosperity in front of us is like a mirror flower and a moon in the water. It will eventually be broken, and then the Elf City will become a thing of the past.
The information gap allowed Ji He to see the ending of the Elf City one step ahead.
This will also be one of his bargaining chips.
At this time, a figure flew in the wind from not far away.
The arrival was wearing green gorgeous clothes, with a slim figure, delicate and fair skin, and a flowing light green long hair. After landing on her feet, she looked at Ji He and said:
"A distinguished guest from Star City, I am the messenger of the Elf City responsible for connecting
with Star City. Next, I will take you to see the Elf King." Before arriving at the Elf City, Ji He asked the messenger of Star City to contact the Elf City.
It was explained that this arrival was to talk to the Elf King.
Ji He nodded at this time, and then flew towards the center of the city with the guide.
The location of the space station is not far from the center of the Elf City. When the site was selected for the construction of the space station, the first thing that Star City considered was how to meet the Elf King as soon as possible.
After all, if you want to cooperate with the Elf City, the Elf King's attitude is particularly important.
It can even be said to be the decisive key.
How to meet the Elf King as soon as possible became the first factor considered when Star City built a stable teleportation array connected to the Elf City.
Carried by the guide, Ji He climbed over a hillside full of green plants, and what appeared to him in the distance was a golden giant tree.
At this moment, all the descriptions in the database were not as good as seeing it with your own eyes.
The Elf King standing in the center of the city was like a golden sacred mountain, which brought Ji He a strong visual shock and sense of security.
The spreading branches and leaves of the giant tree weaved into a big umbrella, covering the city.
Although the dense branches and leaves blocked the sunlight, they also sprinkled countless golden tiny light spots, illuminating the city.
Carried by the messenger, Ji He stood in front of the Elf King and looked up at the Elf King's majestic body.
At this time, the golden light spots floating between heaven and earth suddenly gathered in front of Ji He, forming a staircase leading to the Elf King.
Seeing this, Ji He immediately walked along the stairs towards the Elf King.
Every step on the golden stairs would cause golden water ripples on the surface of the golden stairs, and the stairs behind him would dissipate like smoke.
Walking up the stairs, the world in front of Ji He was gradually covered by gold, and finally he found himself in a golden space, with a kind-looking old man smiling at him.
"The distinguished guest of Star City, Elf City welcomes your arrival." "Elf King
?!"
"It's me."
The white-haired old man nodded in response, and a stone table, stone bench, and tea set appeared in front of him as he waved his hand.
Ji He came to the Elf King and sat down, took the tea handed by the Elf King, and after taking a sip, he felt his pores dilate, and the mental fatigue and pressure were swept away. At this time, he looked at the Elf King and said:
"This time, I hope the Elf King can help my Star City."
"Is it possible that your Star City has encountered some crisis?" The Elf King said with a little surprise.
"It's not a crisis, it's a proactive attack."
Hearing this, the Elf King couldn't help but frowned:
"You want to take the initiative to attack, but you want my Elf City to send forces to support, this... seems a bit inappropriate, right?"
Ji He had expected the Elf King's dissatisfaction.
After all, the Elf King is only responsible for the human race in Elf City. From the perspective of the Elf King, Star City's proactive attack requires Elf City to send troops. The fruits of victory belong to Star City, but the losses are the elves themselves.
Ji He was prepared for this.
He took out a folded map of Star City from his pocket, unfolded it and smoothed it, pointed to the location marked "Sky-Splitting Domain Field" and said:
"This domain field is controlled by the Sky-Splitting God Clan, which is entrenched in the north of our Star City. It has a serious impact on the development of our Star City and has posed a real threat to the survival of Star City. If this clan is not eliminated, our Star City will be unable to sleep or eat. As long as Elf City is willing to send troops in this battle, I am willing to promise Elf City two benefits.
" "What benefits?"
"If we win this battle, one-tenth of the spiritual resources produced will belong to Spirit City."
"Why only one-tenth?"
"In this battle, the Mist Clan, the Silver Moon Clan, and even the Winter City will also participate. The elves are only assisting. I promise to share one-tenth of the resources, which is very sincere."
"What's the other benefit?"
Faced with the question, Ji He was silent for a while, then looked directly at the Elf King and said:
"If Elf City is broken one day in the future, I promise you that Star City will be your retreat."
Hearing this, the Elf King, who had always been indifferent, suddenly changed his expression:
"What do you mean by this?"
"You obviously know better than me what the situation in the Central Region is like. Darkwood is growing stronger and stronger, and it has taken control of the human army in the Central Region. The advantages and disadvantages between you and Darkwood are gradually expanding with the passage of time... What if Darkwood betrays you one day?"
Ji He's words undoubtedly touched the pain in the heart of the Elf King.
Darkwood was personally cultivated by it, and it is also the most outstanding offspring in its eyes. Its growth talent far exceeds its own.
But it is a fact that Darkwood has escaped from its control.
Now Darkwood has not attacked yet, obviously in order to wait for the opportunity. With every passing minute, Darkwood will grow faster than it. Waiting is to defeat it more smoothly.
With the human combat power in his hands and his own growth potential, he is no match for Darkwood.
When that day comes, its failure is doomed.
Ji He's words are undoubtedly telling him that if the Elf City is destroyed by Darkwood, Star City will open its doors to the Elf City and become their shelter.
But there is one thing Ji He did not say clearly.
The Elf King noticed it.
At this moment, the Elf King fell into silence. After a long time, he raised his head and nodded to Ji He, saying:
"Your request is very reasonable. One-tenth of the resources, plus a future retreat, I promise to send troops to Elf City, but I hope that you Star City can keep your promise and open the gate of refuge for Elf City if Elf City faces a crisis of destruction in the future."
"As a member of the Supreme Council of Star City, I assure you that Star City will always open the gate of refuge to Elf City."
"Contact the messenger in advance before preparing for the war, and then Elf City will send troops to Star City in advance to prepare for the war."
"Thank you."
When the golden space in front of him dissipated, Ji He found that he had returned to the ground.
Looking up at the Elf King, a smile appeared on the corner of Ji He's mouth.
He came to Elf City this time for two purposes, one was to ask for troops, and the other was to test the Elf King.
Feng Qi's evaluation of the Elf King in the authority database is: a domain creature with feelings for humans.
But whether the Elf King is completely reliable, Feng Qi cannot give a definite answer.
In the previous timeline, the Elf King had opened up a way for the humans in the Elf City in desperate situations, but at that time the Elf King had already reached the end of his rope, but many residents in the city still had hope of survival.
This is also the reason why Feng Qi commented that the Elf King has feelings for humans.
But in non-desperate situations, when the Elf King still has a choice, it may be a different scene.
This question has also troubled Ji He for a long time.
Is the Elf King trustworthy?
The answer to this question does not necessarily require Feng Qi to go to the future to find the answer. He thinks now is a good opportunity.
The conversation just now was his test of the Elf King.
The second benefit he gave, on the surface, is that when the Elf City is lost, the Elf City can retreat to the Star City and provide shelter for the Elf City.
But this benefit has a potential problem.
The teleportation array that connects the Elf City and the Star City is obviously impossible for the Elf King to pass through with his huge body.
The Elf King obviously understood this problem.
So this benefit is interpreted in detail, that is, when the Elf City is about to be destroyed, the humans in the city can retreat to the Star City for shelter, but this does not include you, the Elf King.
Facing this question, the Elf King remained silent for a long time, but the answer he gave at the end made Ji He find the answer to the question left by Feng Qi.
The Elf King's choice was to give the residents of Elf City a way out.
As for whether this promise was credible, Ji He did not doubt it.
The Elf King on this timeline had limited knowledge of Star City, and was not aware that Feng Qi had the ability to travel through timelines, so his choice was enough to represent his true thoughts.
The Elf King's choice will also add strength to the new future planned by Ji He.
Before coming, Ji He considered many possibilities.
In addition to testing the Elf King's true feelings for the human race, there is also a long-term consideration to propose an option to give Elf City a way out.
If the Elf King agrees to the option he gave, when Dawn City is established in the future, the human race in Elf City will also be incorporated into it, which will significantly enhance the overall strength of the human race. What
Star City lacks now is not resources, but the efficiency of converting resources.
This is also one of the reasons why he introduced family planning. The large population can effectively convert resources into the comprehensive strength of the city.
As for the cultural differences between the residents of Elf City and Star City, this can be changed over time.
The decision of the Elf King not only gave the residents of Elf City a way out, but also gave Star City an opportunity to rise.
Ji He received a satisfactory answer when he arrived.
After returning to Star City, Ji He immediately recorded the information in the database and sealed it with the highest authority.
This information will also be handed over to Feng Qi in the future, providing reference for Feng Qi to formulate a new development strategy.
...
Dawn 422.
On this day, Ji He was browsing the database information.
At this time, the door of the office was knocked.
"Come in."
The door was pushed open at this time, and a fully armed military soldier came to Ji He with a serious expression, and then said respectfully:
"Ji Lao, the field has been built and is now placed in the underground square of the Psychic Department."
"Take me there."
Hearing this, Ji He stood up and said.
Then Ji He came to the underground square of the Psychic Department under the leadership of the military soldiers, and saw a colorful space crystal floating above the square.
In addition to the military members, there were also many members of the Mist Elders Group standing at the scene.
Upon noticing Ji He's arrival, the head of the Psychic Department came up to Ji He and began to introduce the suspended space bead.
Through the head's introduction, Ji He learned that the structure of this bead is the same as the space node bead in the domain field, and it can be carried with you. After the internal nodes are triggered by consciousness, it can be unfolded to form a domain field barrier.
"Mr. Ji, this domain field can be opened at any time. How do you plan to use it?"
"Send it to the military, and I will arrange when to open it."
After giving the order, Ji He turned and left.
After returning to the office, Ji He immediately summoned the head of the expeditionary group and asked in detail about the relevant matters of transporting the ruins of the Silver Snake Empire.
After learning that the relics of the Silver Snake Empire had been almost transported,
Ji He knew that his plan could be started.
In this plan, he wanted to kill two birds with one stone, not only to destroy the Sky-Splitting God Clan, but also to weaken the strength of the Silver Moon Clan, so that the human race would be in a leading position again.
One and a half months later.
A domain field suddenly unfolded at the location where the human race connected to the Sky-Splitting Domain Field.
This matter immediately attracted the attention of Star City, and the Star City military quickly assembled an investigation team to investigate the domain field that suddenly descended.
As usual, the Silver Moon Clan envoy stationed in Star City asked the military about the relevant situation.
Star City and the Silver Moon Clan fully share intelligence on the surrounding area. In the face of the Silver Moon Clan's inquiry, the military did not directly give a clear answer, but only replied that a domain field suddenly descended on the human race's territory to the north and was investigating.
Five days later, Xingcheng brought back a batch of incomplete props and machines from the unknown field.
While bringing them back for research, Xingcheng handed over some of them to the Silver Moon Clan's envoy stationed in Xingcheng.
When the Silver Moon Clan envoy first received the relics of the Silver Snake Empire, he did not think there was anything wrong, but when he started to study them, he suddenly found something wrong.
The familiar engraved tracks in the equipment made him fall silent.
Surprised and puzzled, the Silver Moon Clan envoy stationed in Xingcheng immediately brought these relics back to Silver Moon City.
The Silver Moon Clan's elders conducted a detailed study of the mysterious items produced in the unknown field.
Just when the Silver Moon Clan's elders found it unbelievable, Xingcheng immediately sent several relic stone tablets.
These incomplete stone tablets completely stunned the Silver Moon Clan.
Because the above depicts a lost history of their Silver Moon Clan, and the murals on the stone tablets even depict in detail the historical process of the Silver Snake Empire's disintegration into multiple races.
The heavy news that came later made the Silver Moon Clan's top leaders completely crazy.
A picture was sent from the direction of Star City. The picture showed a huge black machine. It was the ultimate weapon created by the Silver Snake Empire with the whole country's strength as depicted on the stone tablet, a terrifying killer comparable to miracles. Miracles
have many functions, but very few miracles are suitable for combat.
But the design concept of this war machine at the beginning was for external wars.
If the Silver Moon Clan can control this war machine, it means that the rise of the Silver Moon Clan will be unstoppable, and the development of territory and resources will be as easy as breathing, and the surrounding forces will not be able to match them at all.
The temptation brought by the ultimate machine to the Silver Moon Clan even surpassed a miracle item.
The top leaders of the Silver Moon Clan went completely crazy and began to send inquiry messages to Star City continuously, wanting to learn more about other relevant information about this domain field, and expressed their desire to form a team to explore the latest domain field with the human race. Just
when the Silver Moon Clan was crazy about this, Ji He came to the military alone and held an internal meeting of the military.
This plan was kept secret from the outside world, and only the top leaders of Star City knew about it.
The purpose is to make the Silver Moon Clan take the bait, and at the same time prevent the Silver Moon Clan from knowing through channels such as the people of Star City that this is a trap specifically targeting the Silver Moon Clan.
Now that the Silver Moon Clan has taken the bait, the next step of the plan can be implemented.
At this time, at the internal high-level meeting of the military, Ji He's eyes swept over the people present, and then whispered:
"Everyone, let's start."
A group of military high-level officials stood up at this time, nodded to Ji He, and then dispersed.
That night, the military assembled a secret team and took the initiative to attack the Sky-Splitting Domain Field.
The next day, headed to the northern front.
Ji He stood on the top of the towering observation tower, looking at the north shrouded in darkness.
At dawn, a red sun slowly rose from his left, illuminating this world.
Ji He looked at the north that was dispelled by darkness, and saw that the Sky-Splitting Domain Field, which had been silent for many years, was rapidly expanding, spreading towards the human territory, and soon connected with the recently descended Domain Field, and gradually swallowed it.
The cold wind in the early morning blew up Ji He's white robe. He stood alone on the watchtower with his hands behind his back, unable to hide the smile in his eyes.
War is coming.
