A lot of times the world is so unfair, in the face of the same thing, some people have no other choice, and some people have more than one choice.

"It is true that they have a choice, we have no choice, the Baltic Empire can accept them, but it is absolutely impossible to accept us, no matter who sits in Alice's place, it is impossible to feel at ease with us. ”

Sigourney nodded.

"But that's exactly what I'm saying, we can't just give up on the elves and dwarves, we've already experienced many defeats, and the existing forces simply can't go head-to-head with the Baltic Empire, we need the power of the elves now. ”

It seemed that the topic had turned around and returned to square one, but after all, there was a slight change, at least from Gorm's face there was no longer the despair that began at the beginning.

"I'll be in touch with the dwarves and elves in person, and I'll have a meeting tomorrow to resolve the issue. ”

"Sigourney, I hope you can attend this meeting. ”

Gohm made up his mind, he planned to make a final attempt to persuade the dwarves and elves to sell the interests of the United Kingdom and throw themselves into the arms of the Baltic Empire in the next war, even if they were not willing to side with the United Kingdom.

Sigourney blinked and replied in a crisp voice.

"It's my pleasure. ”

--------

Dwarves and elves can refuse the emissary sent by Gorm, but they cannot refuse Gorm's personal visit, and in any case they have a complicated relationship with Gorm, and it is not a link that can be broken in a few words.

In the castle's parlor, the dwarven king and the elven elders had been here for a long time, and they discussed each other in low voices, and it was rare that there were no conflicts or quarrels between the two sides.

Suddenly remembered the dull sound of shoes collapsing on the carpet, and through the side door of the room, Gomm slowly entered the field with the Sigourney siblings.

Gohm pulled out his chair and sat at the head of the round table, while Siegmund and Sigoarney sat on either side of him, only below Gohm in terms of status.

The dwarves and elves stopped their discussion, and they all looked surprised, probably not expecting the relationship between the United Kingdom and the Kingdom of Barusenga to be so close.

Gohm didn't say too many polite words, and the dwarves and elves didn't gather here to engage in those long, meaningless arguments with him, and both sides knew what the meeting was about and why it was held before the meeting.

"The Empire of Atila has fallen, this is confirmed news. ”

Gohm's opening remarks didn't surprise everyone too much, and everyone sitting here had various connections with the outside, and maybe some of them had already joined the Baltic Empire.

The dwarven king said that some of the elven elders must have chosen to rebel, and these old fellows, who were hundreds of years old, were not as merciful as they appeared.

For those who are accustomed to power, sometimes the interests of the race can only be relegated, and they value their own interests or the interests of their families more.

"It is foreseeable that we will be the next target of the Baltic Empire, and I think you can all see that there is a considerable gap in power between us and the Baltic Empire. ”

No one picked up Gorm's words, and the scene fell into an awkward silence.

Whether it is an elf or a dwarf, their faces are particularly calm, no matter what, they are old fritters who have been immersed in the political field for many years, but it will not be so simple to expose their inner thoughts.

"Now we need to work together, only we can ...... together"

"I'm sorry, my friend. ”

It was the dwarf who interrupted Gorm's words, and with a dark face, he rose from his seat, and as he moved, the armor on his body collided with each other with a crisp clanging sound.

"I cannot accept your offer, I cannot allow my people to accompany your wishes into the abyss, and so far I have not seen any possibility that we can compete with the Baltic Empire. ”

From the mouth of the stubborn dwarven king, a rare tone of frustration appeared, and it seemed that for the continuation of the race, he was willing to let go of the dwarven persistence and tradition for many years.

Of course, these are only the superficial reasons of the dwarven king, and no one present will believe such reasons, if the dwarven king is only politically capable of this, then it is impossible for the dwarven race to maintain the form of a state in the complex and ever-changing main plane.

"Calm down, my friend. ”

Gorm got up from his seat, as an old friend of the dwarves, he knew what to do at this time was the right choice, it was never a good way to deal with dwarves, and dwarves were more willing to accept intoxicating wine than knives and guns.

"Believe me, if I hadn't found my certainty, I wouldn't have wasted this precious opportunity. ”

Gorm said pointedly.

Today is the last chance, if today Gorm cannot turn the tide and succeed in convincing the dwarves and elves in this meeting, then tomorrow the elves and dwarves will stand on the opposite side of the United Kingdom, in order to be able to get enough chips from the Baltic Empire, to become the enemy of the United Kingdom, the vanguard of the invasion of the Baltic Empire.

"Your Majesty, I wonder if you intend to keep us here if your persuasion fails?"

Suddenly, it was a female elf who spoke, dressed in fiery red robes that looked like burning flames.

This is an elven elder named Amy, a legendary spellcaster who specializes in shaping magic, such as [Fireball], [Fire Shield], [Firestorm], and "Meteorburst".

In addition to her outstanding strength, she also has a high status in the elven society, she commands a spellcaster army, and is known for its destructive power, this force has performed well in previous battles with the Atila Empire and the Scandinavian Empire.

Amy's words seemed to ignite a hidden fire, making the atmosphere of the meeting suddenly become serious, and those who were willing to come here were giving Gohm one last chance, which was also the last trust.

However, this trust is not unconditional, and they are also wary of Gohm, fearing that he will take the risk of imprisoning them here, and then manipulate the dwarves and elves into a war that seems to have little chance of winning.

They asked themselves that if they were in Gohm's shoes and faced with such an opportunity, they would definitely not let go of such an opportunity to increase their winning rate.

As in the case of the Attila Empire, as long as the dwarves and elves were involved in this war, they would inevitably suffer casualties when they fought the soldiers of the Baltic Empire on the battlefield.

Casualties will lead to hatred, which will dispel the desire for survival, for peace, and as the war progresses and over time, hatred will lead to the inability of any reconciliation between the two sides.

"No, no, no, my friends, don't be nervous. ”

Gorm shook his head, a smile like the rising sun on his lips, trying to ease the tension.

"I'm not going to do anything like that, I'm not Siegel. ”

The elves and dwarves' faces were still tense, and no matter what Gorm said at this time, nothing could ease their tension.

"You may think that we have no chance of victory, but I will tell you that even against an enemy who can defeat the Attila Empire by a landslide, we still have a chance. ”

Of course, even the Baltic Empire could not ignore the bitter winters, the complex environment, and the precipitous mountains of Norway. ”

The elf who suddenly spoke had a completely different appearance from Amy, his name was Yusard, and he was the elven ranger general, who commanded the rangers who could be haunted in the forest.

From his words, it is easy to conclude that he has a different position than Amy, believing that he can rely on the environment of the Norwegian mountains and the cold climate to deal with the invasion of the Baltic Empire.

"Yes, Yusad, you're right, no one can ignore the harsh winter and the complicated environment, and those white dragons and winter wolves are willing to join us against the invasion of the Baltic Empire. ”

Gohm nodded to Yussad, and thanks to his efforts, both the White Dragon and the Winter Wolf were willing to join his army for the time being, in order to deal with their common enemy.

"It's just that the white dragon and the winter wolf are not enough. ”

The king of the dwarves had calmed down, and he sat in his position and twisted his ass, clasped his hands on his chest, and said with a cold face.

"Of course, of course, of course. ”

Goam nodded, his smile was already a little sincere, judging from the attitude of the dwarven king, Sigoaney's guess was confirmed, if there was a possibility of defeating the Baltic Empire, no one would want to just throw everything away and join the Baltic Empire, from the exploiter to the exploited, from the ruler to the ruled.

"All of you here must have seen the air force of the Attila Empire, their air force is composed of dragons, thunderbirds, and dragons, but now this air force has been defeated by the Baltic Empire on the frontal battlefield. ”

"In other words, we need to face the air force that has defeated the Attila Empire, after all, it has absorbed some of the trophies and become more powerful Baltic Empire Air Force. ”

Gorm speaks of facts that can make people feel hopeless.

"Of course, I know that there is no way to protect the skies of the Norwegian mountains by relying only on the White Dragon, and we are at an absolute disadvantage compared to the Baltic Empire, both in terms of quantity and quality. ”

"If you are willing to participate in this war, if the Griffon Knights and the Horned Eagle Knights can gallop in the sky, I don't think even the dragons of the Baltic Empire will be able to rule this sky. ”

Several elven elders shook their heads, apparently not impressed by Gohm's words, but before they could speak, Amy had already stood up from her position.

The dwarven king had just made a bad start, and everyone who wanted to speak would get up from their seats, so that they would look more powerful and speak more convincingly.

"Your Majesty Gohm, relying only on the Griffin Knights and our Horned Eagle Knights, there is obviously no way to stop the Baltic Empire's air force, they have so many dragons that I don't think anyone would want to fight against an army of hundreds of dragons. ”

Amy's words were as tactful as possible, the real situation was not as simple as hundreds of dragons, these hundreds of dragons had mastered tactics and were able to cooperate with each other, enough to be called qualified soldiers.

In the same number of situations, organized and unorganized, tactical and untactic are completely different situations, and an organized and tactical army can easily suppress an unorganized and untactical army.

In addition to the quality of the army, the Baltic Empire is also in an advantageous position in terms of numbers, and in the war with the Attila Empire, the losses of the air force are not serious, and the air force that the Baltic Empire can mobilize is definitely an extremely terrifying number.

And that's not counting the gargoyles that can already be mass-produced, and the gargoyle army that is enough to form a gargoyle army that covers the sky of the entire region is something that no one wants to face, and no one wants to talk about.

"No, there's no need to worry about that, Elder Amy. ”

Gohm waved his hand, he still had the same breezy expression, as if he had found a way to solve the Baltic Empire's air force, which made the rest of the elves straighten up slightly.

"I may not have made it clear just now, but the white dragons I am talking about include those ancient dragons hidden in their bodies, and they are willing to participate in this war. ”

"No, it can't be!"

Amy exclaimed.

Even the most stupid white dragons have undergone earth-shaking changes after entering the level of ancient dragons, and under normal circumstances, they will not participate in such a war, which will not bring them the slightest benefit, and they will have to risk death.

In the mountains of Norway, there are ten of the more famous ancient dragons known, and the rest are hidden, and the power is enough to turn the situation of the entire Northlands upside down.

"In addition to the Winter Wolves, we have also joined the ranks of the Snow Monsters and Mammoths hidden in the Norwegian mountains, who are equally unwilling to accept the rule of the Baltic Empire. ”

Several elven elders couldn't help but start talking in a low voice, they didn't expect that Gomm would unite the entire Norwegian mountain range without making a sound.

With the Winter Wolves and the Snow Monsters joining their formation, the invaders of the Baltic Empire will face the beasts of the entire Norwegian Mountains, and even in such a cold winter, the Winter Wolves and Snow Monsters will be able to mobilize enough beasts to launch a beast tide.

Without the fortifications, neither the dwarves nor the elves, nor the United Kingdom led by Gohm were confident enough to deal with the tide of hungry beasts every spring.

It's as if the Scandinavian Empire suffered a lot of losses due to its unfamiliarity with the beast tide when it first entered the Norwegian Mountains, so Siegel had to change its battle plan against the Attila Empire.
