Weinschwanstein Castle, Cabinet Meeting Room.
"Lord, is the war with the Glorious Empire inevitable?"
The person asking the questions was Parliamentary Secretary Kruber.
While he was asking questions, all the other ministers were also looking at Duke Rosen.
Duke Rosen's face was unusually solemn: "Whether it can be avoided or not, we must be prepared for the worst."
Foreign Minister Tedwood Adrian said in a very light voice: "Perhaps, we can announce a temporary suspension of the Unification of the Natural Alliance."
Before he finished speaking, the inspector general, Rifa, shouted back, "Postpone? Sir Tewold, what you really want to say is 'give up ', right?"
Tewold stammered, "The Glorious Empire has three fleets, with more than 400 new Black Stone warships, and it is said that there are more than 1,000 new aircraft, and they are being produced at an extremely crazy speed."
"How do you fight this?"
Generals from the military were also present.
There are a total of ten lieutenant generals in the navy, air force, and army, and their magic powers have been increased by Rosen to at least six rings.
Vice Admiral Yop of the First Fleet is currently a six-ring warrior. He snorted coldly.
"How to fight? Fight on the battlefield!"
Vice Admiral Holland of the Second Fleet is a seven-ring warrior.
He also looked determined: "The Glorious Empire is meddling too much. If we don't fight back this time, there will be a next time, and the next time, and it will never end."
Commander of the Army's First Dawn Corps, Caudlin, is a lieutenant general from the White Sturgeon Island.
"Yes, it's time to teach the Glorious Empire a lesson."
The other generals all had the same attitude, all advocating war.
These generals and the legions they led were the force that Rosen had developed in Veran for more than two years. They were also the force that was most loyal to Rosen and his greatest reliance for securing his position as Duke.
Although developing at full speed, its total strength is only one-sixth of the Glorious Legion.
In addition, due to the gap in resources and manpower, even with the high production efficiency of the magic production line as a compensation, Weilan's weapons production capacity is only half of that of the Glorious Empire.
The gap between the two sides is huge. If a full-scale war really breaks out with the Glorious Empire, there is almost no chance of winning on the front battlefield.
Although Aaron's Lion Legion, Kao's Rose and Moon Legion, and Levender's Golden Legion can also be urgently recruited.
But his control over these legions was very limited and he could only use them to fight battles when the wind was favorable.
Once the wind goes against you, things will fall apart immediately, and there may even be betrayal.
Therefore, now is indeed the most critical moment in the process of unification of the Natural Alliance.
If they can survive this wave, the alliance will be unified. If they can't, not only will the alliance return to a loose state, but Weilan will also be squeezed out by the Glorious Empire and become an isolated island overseas.
Perhaps he could continue to be the Duke of Vilan, but if he wanted to unify the alliance, he would have to accumulate strength for many more years.
If the Lord of Truth returned at this time, he might not be able to fight against him, and mortals would probably become the playthings of the Lord of Truth once again.
Therefore, the future direction of the world situation concerns the fate of all mortals.
It is a true turning point in the fate of mortals.
The ministers and generals of the Cabinet Council were still discussing countermeasures, but in the basement of Swan Castle, Rosen himself was staying in a secret room that no one knew about.
At this moment, there was a person standing in front of him.
It looks exactly like him and is his latest and improved combat clone.
Whether it's the body, soul, or magic power, they are all exactly the same.
But the strange thing is that there is no perceptible power connection between the two sides.
This is because the newly developed soul ghost resonance is used as a connecting link between the two.
This strange bond not only transmits information, but also power.
Because it is ghost resonance, it cannot be blocked.
The only drawback is that the resonance loss is quite large, especially in power transmission, with the loss in the middle reaching more than 80%.
But it doesn't matter. Rosen, who has mastered the endless crystal, can definitely afford it.
At this moment, the main body was sitting motionless on the chair, while the combat clone was getting familiar with the body.
After some perception, Rosen nodded with great satisfaction.
"Except for not carrying Lai Fu's soul GPT, it is exactly the same as my body."
This nearly perfect combat clone walked to a storage rack nearby and began to carry various equipment.
First, the staff.
It's not the Legendary Crystal Staff, but the Ghostly Resonance Staff.
It is less than 40 centimeters long, less than two centimeters thick, silvery white in color, with a smooth surface. At first glance, it looks like an ordinary metal rod.
You can tell the principle of this thing just by listening to the name. It does not store power, it is only responsible for transferring power.
Through the ghost resonance effect, it is connected to the perfect endless crystal array under Swan Castle.
This perfect endless crystal is a new generation of legendary crystal created based on the improved synthesis method of "Weber's Ghost Formula".
The result is that the single-block capacity is increased to 15,000 Rosens, and the focus is +4.5.
By using the resonance staff and a crystal array with a total capacity of 120,000 Rosens, even if Rosen's combat clone is far away in Metasilen, he can quickly release huge-scale spells of no more than 1,500 Rosens mana at any time, and can use 8 spells in a row.
After the power is exhausted, the ability to cast a large-scale spell can be restored every five minutes.
Once the battle breaks out, Rosen, the real body of Swan Castle, will use the Soul-Burning Ring to continuously charge the crystal array.
In order to avoid the resonance staff being accidentally damaged and unusable, Rosen brought three.
One main one and two backup ones.
Then, there was a silver-white ring with a diameter of about 5 cm, which was hung on Rosen's neck as a pendant.
This magic weapon is the most important. It is a fun thing created based on the "Weber Ghost Formula" and integrating some other profound soul principles.
It is a probabilistic magic weapon, its scientific name is "Probability Judgment Ring", but Rosen prefers to call it "Life and Death Ring".
Its effect is that it consumes 1 Rosen mana and triggers a ray-type probability spell, which has a certain probability of causing the opponent's soul to collapse directly.
For a fixed subject, the trigger probability is uniquely related to the target's basic soul toughness and fluctuates between 1% and 50%.
Preliminary tests show that for souls below legendary strength, the triggering chance is generally 50%.
Once the spell is cast, there is a chance of life or death!
For targets above Legendary, the probability decreases by about 4% for each additional level, and by Legendary 12, it is completely ineffective.
In short, this is a face-gambling game.
Finally, in order to ensure that the plan was foolproof, Rosen created five backup combat clones.
Why not send multiple clones to carry out the killing plan together? Because although ghost resonance is powerful, when the same resonance effects exist together, they will interfere with each other, causing chaos in ultra-long-range control.
This problem can certainly be solved, but the time is too short and Rosen has not yet found a good way to avoid interfering with each other.
Therefore, only one combat clone can be sent out.
But this combat clone is already powerful enough, because he can call upon up to 60% of Lai Fu's computing power to achieve the ultimate operation of 3-line without delay in "Heart of God of War".
After everything was ready, Fighting Rosen quickly walked out of the secret room and came to the phase transfer array.
With a flash of thought, he traveled nearly 2,000 kilometers and arrived at a phase array that had been prepared in advance deep in the Emon Mountains.
This place happens to be within the territory of the Glorious Empire, less than 500 kilometers away from Medasilin.
After recovering a little, Fighting Rosen cast an Immortal Fate, a Concealed Shadow Secret Technique on himself, and finally used a Flying Technique to quickly fly towards Metasilin.
. . . . . . .
During this time, Metasilin, Shadowless Palace.
The Glorious Empire is preparing for an all-out war.
The Lord of Light is naturally extremely concerned about this major event that concerns the fate of the entire empire and his own future destiny.
But unlike his granddaughter who was busy mobilizing troops and raising supplies, he was busy on another level.
As a powerful man who has lived for more than three thousand years, created the Glorious Sect, and founded a huge empire, perhaps his thinking has not kept up with the development of the times due to his long-term sleep, but his perception of danger is extremely keen.
During this period, Misai, the Lord of Light, clearly felt that when he decided to fight to the death, his whole soul became heavy, as if it was pressed by a huge rock.
He immediately realized that he was being watched.
There is a high probability that he has been targeted by Duke Weilan.
This was also within his expectations.
After all, he was ready to fight Duke Weilan to the death regardless of everything. Naturally, the other party must have felt the danger and would also fight him to the death regardless of everything.
The Empire's plan to decapitate Duke Vilan has failed with the defeat of the six legendary wizards, but Duke Vilan will definitely use the decapitation tactic against him.
Moreover, Duke Weilan's beheading must be very terrible, and he may not be able to stop it with his own strength.
Therefore, Misai used the connections he had accumulated over the years to look for reinforcements.
The first place to look for help was naturally the Republic of Nahuat, to find his old friend Yastin.
Through the phase array, the two sides communicated across a long distance.
"Master Yastin, I need a group of legendary mages to protect my safety. The price is negotiable."
"I'm sorry, Master Misai, the Guardian Council recently passed a new resolution prohibiting the Republic from interfering in any form in the national disputes of the Druitan plane, so... I can't help you."
The Lord of Light was shocked: "Why was this resolution passed suddenly?"
"The Sky Faction that Mage Naya belongs to has received help from Duke Weilan and obtained a large number of high-quality legendary crystals. This has enabled them to have a large number of very powerful legendary mages and gain more seats on the Guardian Council."
"In addition, our Republican Party also believes that forcing Duke Weilan to fight for Nawat is not a wise idea. Sassmar has also given up this unrealistic idea."
"So. Sorry."
After saying this, Master Yastin cut off contact.
The Lord of Light suddenly felt a tremendous psychological pressure.
He clearly felt that Duke Weilan had begun to counterattack him, and the opponent's forces were quickly surrounding him.
When he thought about the information he had learned over the past few years, he felt a chill run down his spine.
Duke Weilan was one of the most terrifying people he had ever met, scarier than the Mighty Father and the elves' gods of the sun and moon.
He had to find help.
After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and quietly contacted the elf with the phase array.
"Osella, I'm in trouble."
Osella replied slowly: "Misai, it seems that this trouble is so serious that you have to find me."
The Lord of Light became angry when he heard the tone, but he had no choice.
"This is not just my problem, it's our problem."
"I have declared an all-out war on the Natural Alliance as you wished, and now I am facing a huge risk of being assassinated by Duke Weilan!"
"I need you to send some strong men to protect my safety."
Osella responded a little faster: "You need my protection? Aren't you afraid that my people will take your life?"
The Lord of Light paused after hearing this. This risk does exist.
Osella's voice came immediately: "Hahaha~~Don't panic, I'm joking with you. We are allies now. How could I attack you?"
Misai followed with a dry laugh: "Osella, you'd better not make such jokes, I will take it seriously."
"Besides, I am willing to serve the Lord of Truth. As servants of the Lord of Truth, there is no irreconcilable conflict between us."
"You are right, Misai. I will send people over right away, and they are all top-notch experts."
"Hmm~~~ 3 Legend 4 strongmen, do you think that's enough?"
"That's enough. That's absolutely enough."
Misai's tone was very happy, but in her heart she was extremely shocked: "I didn't expect that the elves actually hid such a strong power!"
He had a vague feeling that the other party's sudden outburst of legendary power had a lot to do with the legendary crystal he shared.
I couldn't help feeling very regretful, but more of it was helplessness.
If it happens again, he will most likely choose to share again.
Because the elves shared the art of immortality with him, allowing him to live an additional 500 years of waking time.
It was an offer he couldn't refuse.
He sighed secretly in his heart.
"Alas~~~The Lord of Truth has returned, and the glory of the mortal kingdom has come to an end."
If he was wary and jealous of Duke Weilan, who was also a mortal, then he was completely terrified of the Lord of Truth, a fear that left him without any courage to resist.
The powerful gods and demons of Pure Legend 12 are terrifying, but he still has the courage to fight to the death.
But if this powerful being also controls a powerful elven empire, it is a force that mortals can never resist.
Since there is no hope of winning, it is better to surrender directly.
