vs 23 Meeting of the Elves

So, you think it's impossible?" Thranduil looked at his lieutenant earnestly.

"I just think we should be cautious about this information. "If it weren't for the sudden southward movement of the Undead Legion today, Rizzo Carlo would have said with certainty 'impossible'. But now the problem is that as soon as the 'Tyre Town Incident' happened, the undead army was pressing closer.

Lizzo Carlo's vague answer made the atmosphere of the meeting a little more solemn, and even Moiraka, who had always been clear about good and evil, did not continue her righteous words.

"Although it only appears in the books, I have reason to believe that the true ruler of the Undead Legion has appeared, and her arrival may be a good thing, but it is more likely to be a disaster... Because a madman who keeps his sanity is terrible. Thranduil's face grimaced, "I'm afraid we won't have time to pay attention to Penny Reagan of Suker Plains next. ”

"If the Dead Legion does have a 'Order of Chaos', then it will be even more difficult for him to look for allies in the world of the living, and once the human society rebelieves in her, things will become very complicated. Moiraka looked at her brother's face and said, "Penny Reagan's wrong behavior must be stopped." ”

"The source of all chaos, the progenitor of evil... It's a history that you can't bear to read. With awe and emotion, Thranduil said: "Her appearance is a mistake, and since she has reappeared, it is our duty to correct the whole mistake." ”

"Although the 'Order of Chaos' is called an evil god and is the root of all evil, in the end, she is just an evil energy controller made by the Yuan Spirit people, and does not have the power of the rumored gods, so we don't need to worry too much. Moiraka stroked her long silver-white hair, and a kind of forest elf charm appeared on her face and said, "The power of the minotaur priest's inheritance can resist her, and at the same time..." she looked at her deputy Intis, "After the research and deduction of our mage group, the new basic magic construction circle will be completed soon, and the suppression of magic by evil energy will soon..."

"Your Excellency!" Lizzo Carlo interrupted Moiraka very unceremoniously, looked at Thranduil and said: "Although the magic and evil energy exist in different ways, in the final analysis, these two forces have the same destructive power, and since our ancestors chose to conceal it... Something, and certainly how terrifying it is to discover uncontrolled magical energy, so I suggest not to..."

"We don't need a newly constructed magic circle, humans will use it, and orcs won't scruple about it!" Moiraka also unceremoniously interrupted Lizocaro, saying: "I don't deny the decision made by our ancestors, but now it's different from before, we have to make changes, if the 'Order of Chaos' has really been revived, we must have the power to suppress her, otherwise it will be a war with no chance of winning." ”

"It takes your decision, Your Excellency. Lizzo Carlo looked at Thranduil, looking at him with a very serious and formal expression.

"We need new laws to limit the use of new types of magic. "I always believe that power should not be divided into good and evil, and even the 'blood magic' that most people think is evil, can be used to save people if it is used with the kindness and peace of mind of the goddess of nature. ”

"Then I applied to be involved in the development of the new law. Lizzo Carlo was not surprised by this answer, and he immediately made his own request.

"We'll talk about that later. Thranduil didn't immediately agree, he tapped lightly on the edge of the sand table with his hand, pointed to the sand table map and said, "What we need to do now is to solve the current predicament..."

"Penny Reagan can't muster an army strong enough to confront us in a short period of time, and Duke Mondstadt Jean of Fort Norma should be able to gather another 10,000 men in half a month..."

"What can 10,000 people do? They can't even climb the walls of Suke!"

"Penny Reagan's army was unscathed in the battle of Tyre, and she could have struck Hades and Kwyn at any time if she wanted to, or in her current state on the Sooke Plains, she could gain the allegiance of most of the city-states of the Suker Plains without even a single soldier, and Fort Norma would instead be the target of Penny Reagan's attack, and... This castle also has the potential to be our front line of defense against Penny Reagan!"

"The Suker Plains are in a mess right now, will they recognize Penny Reagan's rule? Don't forget that they personally pulled Penny Reagan and her son from the throne in Suker City two years ago. ”

"As long as the interests are sufficient, they can put Penny Reagan and mother and son on the golden throne again. ”

"It's not a question of whether they want to, but the power in Penny Reagan's hands at the moment, completely ignoring the opinions of other city-states, and forcibly unify the entire plain by force!"

"Knock knock" Thranduil's baton slammed heavily on the sand table.

The arguing figure stopped abruptly, and the recorder next to him, who was writing "rustling" with a feather pen, also suddenly stopped his rapid movements.

"We have to admit something," Thrandeil said, pointing to the undead legions outside the defense zone on the map, "Now... We've been bitten to death by the undead legions, and I have a hunch... Ferrola of the Cullen is more than capable of defeating us. ”

After Thranduil's words, the otherwise quiet command room suddenly became quieter. However, after two or three seconds, the whispering sound sounded like a wave suddenly rolling up on the calm sea.

Thranduil didn't care about the uproar caused by his words, and in the midst of the uproar, he raised his voice and continued, "Don't doubt my words, how many of the living people in the Cullen Territory escaped after the evil power raged, and how many living people in the Cullen Territory were there before?"

"But we have to fight this battle..."Thranduil felt the warm feeling in the palm of his hand, glanced sideways at his sister Moiraka, and then solemnly looked at the others and said, "And no matter what the cost, we must win this war!"

"But we're not alone, we still have allies... The kingdom of Kruria, orcs, barbarians, goblins, highlanders, dwarves, mage towers, etc., as long as we can find a way to gather these forces, even if the real ancient evil gods come in person, they will not be able to rule this continent. ”

Thranduil's tone was more serious than before, but it improved the solemn atmosphere of the conference room.

"We've been trying to find a way to unite all the forces on the continent to fight against the erosion of evil energy, and we are on the verge of success... But now Penny Reagan has changed her direction like a sea breeze, completely cutting us off from the rest of the continent!" said Intis with a hint of sorrow.

"Deputy Commander Intis is right, what about Penny Reagan?" asked with a frown, "She can cooperate with the 'evil god' once, and it will be a second and third time, no one can refuse the power from the 'evil god', and eventually she will go to the depths of hell." ”

"As I said, we're not alone... We still have allies, and the Kingdom of Kruria will take care of the affairs of the Sukh Plains, and all we have to do is support them with all our might. Thranduil took out a letter, "a letter from King Pedi himself, for the first time he has made it clear that he wants to enter the Suk Plains. ”

"I thought he was willing to stay in Crewe City!" Lizzocaro raised an eyebrow, "but I'm afraid that King Pedi's army won't be able to enter the Suke Plain in a short time." ”

Thranduil replied with an expression on his face, "It will take time for the Undead Legion to defeat us completely, and before that... We can only try to do what we are supposed to do. ”

"Unexpectedly, we also have the day when we will wait for human rescue. Lizzo Carlo chuckled under his breath, and his laughter was full of futuristic self-deprecation.

"This is a decision made by the Supreme Council more than three hundred years ago, and I just hope they didn't make a mistake!" Moiraka was reluctant to believe in the fact that humanity had risen, but as Thrandil's sister, she had to stand next to her brother and speak for him.

"If this is the wrong decision, the entire continent will be plunged into a dark age of evil power. Intis muttered to herself.

"General!" Thrandell looked at his lieutenant, Lizzocaro, "Supporting the Kingdom of Kruria's war against the Suker Plains, I intend to put you in charge." ”

"I'll do my best!"

Thranduil nodded, "But first, we need to tell King Pedi everything that happened here and our conjectures, and it's time for some 'truths' to be revealed..."

"Are you sure, General?"

"It's my decision!"

...

Office of the King of Kawalburg,

Three full days have passed since the 'Tyretown Incident', and Pedi hasn't left his office for three days. During these three days, he personally handled all the information on the Suker Plains, the Highland Grasslands, and the Felder Territory, and met with more than 100 Kingdom officials.

In these three days, because of the pressure from the king's office, the efficiency of all departments in Crewe City has increased at least twice, and countless people have been amazed and at the same time have their eyes on Kawar Castle.

Today, the regular meeting of the King's Office was brought forward to six o'clock.

At this time, the morning glow had not yet dispersed, most of the citizens in the city had just gotten up, and the muskets on the castle training ground had just finished lining up and waiting for the instructor's daily lecture.

Pedi looked tired, his heavy dark circles under his eyes showed that he hadn't been sleeping well lately, and when the ministers entered the office, he was leaning against the window and looking at the training ground in the distance, where Queen Irene Fil was using an ice magic to stretch his irresistible sleepiness.

"Do you ever feel guilty that your king can't even sleep?" said Eileen, unceremoniously counting the ministers as they entered the office. This was the first time that Eileen Phier was angry, and her sharp words made the ministers who entered the office unable to get off the stage on the spot, and made them even more ashamed to raise their heads.

"Hold up your chests, you are the kings of the kingdom, and do not bow your head like a resentful woman and curse people quietly. "Eilefeld was really angry, and her words were completely devoid of the majesty and reserve that a queen should have.

"Sir Marne. Pedi watched as Silah-Marne patted his wife's hand to stop her from continuing. Erin Phiel was now facing the Minister of the Kingdom rather than the Castle's servants, and that last sentence was a bit too much for even Pedi to say.

However, Pedi has no intention of apologizing.

Sira Marne responded to the King's cry, stepped forward with a serious expression, and stood up straight to listen to the King's words.

"What do you think of the combat effectiveness of our musketeer regiment?" Pedi pointed out the window to the training grounds.

"With plenty of ammunition, this musket regiment will be invincible. Sheila Marne replied very quickly: "But in order to get the most out of this corps, we must first build up enough logistical supply lines, and even allocate them to the logistics team that maintains the muskets... In other words, every musketeer needs at least two or three people to serve them in battle. ”

"That is to say, raising one musketeer is equivalent to feeding half a knight?" added Sir Bipp at once, "I admit that this army is of great strength, but with the present production capacity of the kingdom, it is simply not possible to feed too many of these troops." ”

"What if the knights are abolished and the musket team replaced?" Pei Di looked at the ministers' suddenly changing expressions, and a playful smile flashed on his face, "What about this idea?"

"Do you want to revoke the knighthoods?" asked Sir Bipp cautiously.

"No, they still hold knighthoods. Pedi walked from the window to the middle of the room, motioned for everyone to sit down, and said, "Don't you think that under the powerful fire of the muskets, the knight's heavy armor will be completely ineffective, and even the inner armor that should be used to save their lives will hasten their death." ”

"The Castle Knights can save a lot of money by removing the crafting and maintenance of knights' equipment. Pedi sat down at his desk with his wife as the ministers sat down, picked up a document that had been presented to him, and flipped through it, saying, "Don't look at me with that look of surprise, I'm sure you'll soon find that the knight's armor is no different from scrap metal." ”

"Personally, I'm in favor of this. Sheila Marne immediately stated, "But... For now, it's not the right thing to do. She said very seriously: "Your Majesty, the knights regard their armor and shields as a symbol of honor, and it would be incomprehensible to the knights to cancel them hastily. ”

"I agree with Sir Marne. The old orc Morinda also said, "I have seen the training of the Musket Corps, and I admit that this weapon is very powerful, so powerful that it makes me doubt the past wars, but after all, this weapon has not experienced the baptism of war, so... I think it's time to wait a little longer. ”
