Arcane Lord - Vol 7 Chapter 1963
Of course, the so-called “seeking assistance” is only an obvious statement. It sounds nice, but the essence is to invite countries to send forces to stay in Sluvand, so as to achieve a strategic balance with Yeerlan.
After making this decision, the [Ericks Contract] immediately convened the members and started to act. Although the decision has been made, it is still too early to let the power of various countries in.
At least you have to wait until you have demonstrated the power of the weapon of war, otherwise you are not qualified to do such a balance between left and right. If you want to convince others that you have a hole card, then you had better really have it and use the determination to use it.
Of course, before showing the power of the weapon of war, it was necessary to send a note to the Northern Alliance, requesting the Yeerlan army to withdraw from the territory of Sluvand and to compensate for the losses caused by the invasion.
Although it is just a pretext, there is still a big difference between having it and not having it. Cruise, who already knows the rules of the Northland Alliance game, will naturally not leave any clues to his opponents on this.
In fact, this is one of the few things that Sluvender can do. After all, he is in a weak position. If he does not pay attention to some details of his actions, a complete defeat is almost inevitable.
And if you are in a strong position, you can still do enough superficial work to appear justifiable. Cruise, who has traveled more than a thousand years later, is now reflecting on how the situation when Sluvender was almost an enemy in the world was created long ago.
Not only Sluvender, but also Sluvender’s homeland, Erevanda, once had the opportunity to truly unify the world of elves, but collapsed instantly because of arrogance.
The mild rules of the game can hide the cruel nature of conquest. Now this Northern Alliance has taught him a lot, but in his opinion, the five major countries such as Yeerlan are not very good at using this super tool.
Perhaps it was the five countries that constrained each other to maintain the current situation, and this was the only chance for Sluvender to revive in the future.
If it is missed, unless the Northland Alliance disappears, it will forever be reduced to the toy of the great powers.
…
Netheril, Severnton.
When Shado walked out of the teleportation room at the headquarters of the Austrian Federation, he immediately felt a different atmosphere than before. He knew that perhaps it was the news that Sluvender invited various countries to jointly develop the ancient fortress, which caused the heart of the Nether Master to be turbulent.
But what he saw more was not joy, but worry, perhaps the war affecting Netheril, or just the exploration of the ancient fortress.
Just like when he came last time, Shado quickly passed through the teleportation area, the trade area, through the library and entered the administrative area of the headquarters of the Austrian Federation. Yin Orem’s office was at the innermost.
But while walking, Xia Duo suddenly felt that something was wrong. He slowed down a little, and at the same time traced the source of this feeling in his memory, but he did not expect that it was because—
Elf!
As he passed the intersection in front of the library, he glanced at the dining and accommodation area, and out of the corner of his eye he saw a group of elves with a frustrated expression arguing with the deacons of the federation.
Looking back at this moment, Xia Duo noticed that the elves were large and small, with family members. Although the style of clothing was closer to that of Comanso, their behavior and actions were more like Yeerlan elves.
If that’s all, Xia Duo wouldn’t be able to judge very well, but the family of five obviously looked like golden elves, but they acted more like moon elves, and they didn’t look like they were acting.
“Sruvind elf?”
This is the most probable explanation that Shado can think of, but has Sluvender already fought? Or is this just a few waves of rumors that were transferred in advance?
Thinking of this, Xia Duo couldn’t help but feel a little heavy. No matter what the reason, the occurrence of this phenomenon largely means that Sluvand’s heart is dissipated.
There is a family of five at the headquarters of the Austrian and French Federation, and there may be more elsewhere.
Of course, it can also be said that this is Shado’s own speculation, but it is not complicated to verify, and it can even be said to be surprisingly simple!
Shado continued to go to Yin Orem’s office, while casting a spell to project his perception. Although he was discovered and stopped by the mysterious lock arranged by the Seven Towers in Severndon after only one glance, that one glance was enough!
He saw that elves were using magic to build residences in the southern city of Severnton. Judging from the construction style, they should be prepared for concentrated living!
Near the construction site, the golden elves were already surrounded, their expressions were as frustrated, worried and confused as the family of five he saw at the headquarters of the Austrian Federation.
That’s not all he saw. In addition to the construction site, there were also a group of people gathered in the Aofa Square in front of the Austrian Federation. There were even some in the square in front of the Nise Palace in the old city.
Seeing this scene, Xia Duo’s heart became even heavier. Although it was not him who was experiencing the ups and downs at the moment, the emotions of intelligent creatures were the same.
Or use a word from hometown to describe – things hurt their kind!
…
Soon, Shado came to Yin Orem’s office, and there was no one as expected, but he had already sent a message to Yin Orem before coming, and Yin Orem’s reply was free.
Well, just wait here for a while.
Of course, waiting doesn’t mean doing nothing. During this period, Xia Duo contacted Director Hechenis and asked about the elves in Nancheng District.
To this, Hechenness’s answer was—
“Those are from Sluvender, some are real refugees, some ran out ahead of time after hearing the wind, and it is the Comanthor elves who are building temporary shelters for them.
“Those Sluvind elves initially sought help from the Severndon Council, but the council replied that they could stay in Severndon temporarily, but the council did not take the initiative to provide living conditions.
“It was Ambassador Comansuo who heard about this and rented a piece of wasteland that has not yet been put to practical use in the south urban area under development from Qita, and used it to temporarily house them.
“The spellcaster who helped them build the house is also the master architect that Ambassador Comanso personally invited from Comanso. It’s just a bunch of refugees, and Comanso is really interested!
“Speaking of which, if it weren’t for the influx of too much at once, the Seven Towers could be arranged in private, but now, the Seven Towers are inconvenient to come forward, and the Severndon Council cannot make decisions at will.
“As for arranging to other places, it may cause some unnecessary troubles.”
If Hechenis hadn’t said the last sentence, Shado would have wanted some Sluvender elves to bring back to the South. Of course, he was not so kind and took the initiative to invite the elves to live at home.
Feelings are feelings, but what he needs to care about is his own people, not some unrelated elves. The reason why he wants to do this is to covet the treasure brought out by the refugees of Sluvender.
What’s more important is to let his own subjects see what the real elves are like!
