Vol 3 Chapter 39: Coercion and compromise


> "Has the Consanas and Glas families been in contact?"
Minos, who was walking on the hillside several kilometers away, asked the old man in front of him.
"Have you? Haven't you? Actually it doesn't matter," Varian looked back and squeezed his eyes at his grandson. He laughed at Minos with a funny expression. As long as it is a family that ranks among the first echelon of the mainland, as long as it has this qualification, it must be connected with us. So understand it?"
"But this connection is not enough for you to help him, right?"
"Am I helping him? I just scolded him with a slap of his head."
"Be honest, my father said this to me since he was a child."
Minos hey, "If I let that fight with the assassin, it's really tricky, his dagger"
"It's just a dagger."
The old man avoided the topic and pointed to the direction of the city of Sisselin in the distance. "Just rest here today. Tomorrow we may have a good show to watch. Of course, we may also take a walk on the stage ourselves."
West Sellin.
Ashcandy, sitting in an armchair at the top of the tower, frowned suddenly, reaching for the sleeve of his left arm.
There are some changes in the pattern of the servant contract. As a contractor with direct contact with Murphy, what happened to the young man who was underground and suddenly increased in strength, Ashcandi was clear through the contract.
Just as Ashkandi’s pain in the trial of the heretic ruling was passed to Murphy, it was clear for a few days that Ashcandi, who was clearly in danger, did not move at all and remained stable. Sit in the seat of this great consul.
Because the Hegel’s army loomed in the distance from the horizon.
It seems that the situation is confrontation, but no one knows what Ashcandi will play-the Thousand Cavalry Regiment has arrived in Pas City, and then the Pas City plus the original Thousand Cavalry and the emergency assembly of the second The secondary conscription unit was enough to use the wall to fight against Hegel’s slightly larger army and even carry out surprise attacks, while the main city of West Sellin made a shrinking posture and passive defense.
Obviously, under the threat of opposing long-range archers, Ashkandi was not eager to let his few troops go to die, and the population of Sisyrin City surged due to the refugees from the clearing of Wenli. However, the food prepared in advance is enough for the entire city to survive this winter-and Hegel in the wild may not have such good luck.
Obviously, in the eyes of the onlookers, Ashcandi adopted a confrontation consumption strategy. Hegel, who learned the situation through scouting, thought so, but he had not yet waited for his next decision. News from all parties came under attack!
Obviously, the group of Ashcandi cavalry started her usual lightning tactics without hesitation upon arrival.
However, this time Hegel did not panic-as the saying goes, he ate a long grain of wisdom. After the army in the southern side of Erdos was attacked by night, he immediately let the attacking army build the defense at the fastest speed. Fortifications, refusal of horses, lighting, excavated ravines, camping on high terrain, etc., so that if they are attacked, there is basically no fear of the number of Lampard territory troops that are not dominant, but this lord after reading the entire battle report Narrowed his eyes still.
Defeated.
Once again his own army failed and was forced to evacuate more than 20 kilometers backward. The number of people lost was more than 800, and the wounded were thousands!
what happened?
Although Lampard’s army also suffered heavy casualties, the Hegel army, which is well prepared for the terrain advantage, should not be so battle loss ratio-the most unacceptable is that the entire battle took place in During the day, and there is no so-called fog to do the blinding method, the archer has a wide field of vision, and there is no error in all combat conditions.
The only difference is that the arrows of nearly a thousand long archers suddenly lost their accurate head.
The proud long-range attack was instantly weakened, and the longbowmen’s arrows were thrown collectively. They should have hit the 300-meter cavalry team with a string of suicide charges, but after flying 100 meters, they fell with incredible arrows. It's 450 meters away!
In other words, the arrows that were originally shot basically fell behind the offensive cavalry!
Next, it was the cavalry who broke through the seemingly unbreakable line of defense with a brave charge, which led to a hard battle that was equally heavy on both sides-but because of the presence of five high-level magisters in the Lampard army, Ash The morale of Kandi's territorial defenders was always high, and he finally won a victory.
"What's the problem with the longbowman again?"
It’s still an offensive, and it’s still a head-on attack to let the other party break their teeth and swallow. The Ashcandi’s strategic style is too violent. Obviously, the enemy’s army is actively attacking the situation, but it first wins 20%, and then have what?
Hegel remembered Varian's words before he left—as a lord, was he really willing to fight for His Majesty the Balice emperor?
"Do not move, stand by."
Originally intending to order the offense, he changed his attention and did not even go to say hello to the special assassin.
In the second floor of the underground world, only a few kilometers away from the refuge valley, the herd regained its previous order after the inexplicable violent fluctuations. Even if the number of deaths was extremely large, it did not affect the remaining Warcraft Still active in the forest, the seven elven tribes lost their elders, but did not lose order. Krenze, as the first elf who stood up with Sunderland to express friendship, is now responsible for temporarily organizing the evacuation of elves.
"It seems to your ethnic group that you are a hero?"
Sunderland was surprised that these elves obeyed Krenze's orders.
"Heroes are not necessarily braver than others. They are often only brave for more than five minutes."
Krenze smiled, and he was single-handed by the elders. He once led away the beasts that might have trampled on the four villages. This experience is known to all night elves and passed on as beautiful talk, but this one who saved thousands of people The hero was eventually abandoned by the elders. Why?
It's funny to say that on the day Kronze was born, the glowing fluorescent insects on the top of the second layer of the underground world actually formed a circular pattern-the elf is not a human, even if it is imprisoned on the ground for thousands of years. For a long time, the inheritance of knowledge continued because of their long lifespan. The scene of Krenzejan’s birthday was unanimously regarded as an ominous sign by several elders who had witnessed the real sky, but this is not the whole reason. The latter opinions and views that are contrary to the elders are the main reason that led the authorities to abandon Krenze.
Even if Krenze has the ability and the strength to dominate the same kind, but in political opinion, he is in conflict with the older generation of diehards. This has already determined what real power and excessive influence he cannot have.
Among the night elves today, the "first generation" who saw the sky have few left except the seven elders, but this accident completely killed the old antiques who have witnessed the sinister and magnificent world on earth. The old sequencer disappeared completely. How do the elves living underground from birth choose the next path?
"You will be a good leader."
Sunderland had a chance to chat with Krenze, and the night elf's ethnicity was not weak. Although he was born in an academic school, he knew that most of the arrows of the night elves even crossed in the battle just now. The distance of more than 300 meters can also accurately hit the target. Although the number of these elves is not large, if used properly, it should be a good source of soldiers for their territory.
Knowing that Murphys was holding the scepter of Sulfuras, he already clearly understood what his duties were-there was no conflict between being a rigorous magician and being a lord’s magic adviser, and did not want to be in Having studied the art of power, he has simply placed himself in the position of Lord Lampard.
Pursue power? That's the politician's business, and Sunderland pursues "truth."
Krenze did not immediately let the night elves of the seven villages disperse, but carefully sent several reconnaissance teams familiar with the village to ensure that the trajectory of the herd returned to normal. same.
"Is there really'sky' above the ground? Are there rivers and countless plants that are indescribable?"
After arranging the task, Krenze, who was not busy, suddenly asked Sunderland.
"I'm curious, has anyone tried returning to the surface?"
"The Brest guys don't want someone to slash on their territory."
Krenze smiled bitterly and pointed to the top of his head. "Even if they can never find the entrance to this world, they don't have to worry about the elves who haven't sent them."
"For food?"
"For the sake of reproduction, or for the sake of persistence." Krenzer shrugged. "Brest is sitting on the first level of food resources. The elves can't survive on the only edible mushrooms here and get the food elves. We often go back and forth, which makes the fear of the vampires even more serious. Of course, everyone thinks that the Brest family is too terrible, so we can’t break through their defenses, but I once tried to tell them— —It’s not that the enemy’s terrible situation has trapped us, but that we no longer have the will to try to resist.

"Slavery of thought."
Krenze pointed to his head and said bluntly, "The old guys who told us that there was another world outside used their knowledge and intimidation to imprison us. In my opinion, this is a shameful coercion. It is a compromise on fate."
"Rebelled?"
"It seems that this is the difference between us and you. To be honest, if we will revolt easily, it may not be the old bats who live in the first-tier world."
Sunderland strongly agrees with Krenze’s point of view. Compromise in thought is always terrible many times more than slackness. The reason why mankind can make progress and dominate the mainland ~ EbookFREE.me The second competition for interests and the wars it brings.
However, the dialogue between the two was interrupted by a sudden word in this short silence-
"What the Brest family guards is not simple."
Although this temporary camp is rudimentary, Sunderland and Krenzer, as the core characters of the elven village and the expedition, naturally have several elite guards around them, not to mention five high-level mages who release scouting at any time.
But when Murphy's familiar voice came, no one could perceive how he appeared.
It even includes Sunderland.
(The hospital's examination results are okay, there is no major problem, and I am most afraid of physical problems when writing, so I am very careful not to let myself go wrong. From March 11 to the present, I have not broken off and hope to continue Keep it up, there have been fewer outbreaks in recent days, because I came back to my parents to help, my daughter-in-law's birthday and classmates' meetings are more time-consuming. Keep going, it takes perseverance to do any line, and this line is also the same, thank you for your understanding.)
