Chapter 43: The Controversy of Teneo

Erne Frontier, Talon Empire Camp.

"General, I heard that the famous General Elier of Erne recently came to the Tenio Fortress not long ago. ", a lieutenant next to him said to Slok.

"Elaire, it is said that he is the god of war, who has gotten his status from an ordinary soldier step by step, and is not a simple character. Slok thought about what he knew about Elier and said with some concern.

"But I don't think so, as soon as he came to Tenio Fortress, he immediately killed Lord Steve of the fortress, this kind of killing the general in front of the battle is undoubtedly very stupid, so I think he is an impulsive person, and should not be afraid. ", said another lieutenant next to Slok

"Elaire killed the lord of Tenio Fortress! How is it possible, this is not his style, there must be something hidden in it, you tell me about this matter carefully. Slok asked.

The lieutenant saw Slok's expression and was overjoyed, knowing that he had been preparing for so long and that the opportunity to perform had finally come.

He gave Srock a detailed account of General Elier's arrival in the city and how he killed Lord Steve, showing how many spies he had planted in Tenio Fortress.

After hearing this, Slok gave the lieutenant a positive look, and then thought to himself.

"Looks like this was a premeditated victory, Elaire, and I'd like to see what you're trying to do. I don't believe it, I can't put you to death with the strength of the kingdom of Tarun. Srock thought to himself.

"General, what should we do next, should we step up the attack? The previous lieutenant saw that Srock was very satisfied with his opinion and continued to behave positively.

"No, our goal has never been to attack Erne at all costs, and for the time being, we will be in a stalemate with the other side first. Srock denied.

Tarun's purpose in taking the lead this time is just to set an example as the leader of the Five Nations Alliance, and if he can take Tenio at a small cost, Slok will not hesitate to attack.

Just as he had just come to the fortress of Teneo, with several times the military strength of the enemy army, he launched a full-scale attack on the city-state of Teneo.

But now that Elier has led his army to Tenio Fortress, the military gap between the two sides has narrowed, and Slok is afraid of the famous Erne God of War, so he does not dare to act rashly.

At a time when the gap in military strength between the two sides is still very large, Slok guesses that Elaire is most likely to rely on the strong city defense and have a defensive battle with him.

After all, it's the safest way to do it, and it's the easiest and most effective.

Even though Erne's strength is the strongest in the entire Miracle Continent, it doesn't mean that his strength exceeds that of other countries combined, just like us.

As we said before, in the face of the joint attack of the northern nations, Erne's food and grass expenditure is nearly three times that of Tarun, and if the war continues to stalemate, it will be Erne who will compromise.

Moreover, Tarun's goal was not only to defeat Erne, after defeating Erne, their enemy would become the remaining four kingdoms, and at that time, General Slok would have to keep an army that could overwhelm the remaining four nations.

So no matter how you look at it, from the perspective of the interests of the Taron Empire, the easiest way for Slok to do is to wait for work and fight a war of attrition with Erne.

Ernne Empire, Tenio Fortress.

"General, I hope you think twice, we are now at an absolute disadvantage in terms of troops, if we take the initiative to attack, we will inevitably face a scene of fighting more with less!"

After learning that General Elier wanted to take the initiative, a group of generals came to Elier's camp to persuade him. Although the last incident played a role in Liwei, it also made the generals in the city distrust Elaire.

Although the control of the army obtained by fear comes quickly, it is not destined to last as long as convincing people with virtue, so a good general will generally pay attention to the balance between the two.

If it weren't for the urgency of the situation, Elier wouldn't want to do that.

"Otherwise, what else, if the other party keeps besieging and not attacking, we must be the first to be consumed. ", General Elier patiently explained.

"But we have a strong city and we don't take advantage of it, we really give up such a good location!", despite what General Elier said, the generals still did not give up.

Anyway, this time they came together, and they didn't believe it, and General Elier dared to kill them all.

"Needless to say, this time I will not let the soldiers of your Teneo city-state take up, I will only attack the other side with the 100,000 soldiers brought from Tamug. General Elier was already a little angry and didn't want to explain too much to them.

He knew the hereditary generals too well, and they were not worried about the survival of Erne, they were just afraid that their hard-working soldiers would be damaged on the battlefield.

After all, on the border, the number of troops in hand is the last word, and if you don't have an army, even the lord may not have a big say.

This is also the reason why Elier dislikes this system very much, but the hereditary power has long been ingrained in the Ernne Empire, and it is not something that he Elier can solve alone.

It is not so much that they are soldiers who defend their homes and countries, but that this group of people is outright selfish warlords.

"General Shenwei, we will wait for the general's triumphant return again. Hearing that General Elier said that they did not need to participate in this sortie, all the generals suppressed their joy in their hearts and said respectfully.

"Alright, you can step down. General Elier was already very polite when he said this.

However, Teneo's generals didn't seem to care much about this, and after leaving the camp, they looked relieved.

It seems that as long as their soldiers are not touched, losing some face is a small matter.

"A flock of frogs at the bottom of a well, you know only how strong the walls are, but you don't know how strong the cages that trap the birds are just as strong.

You only know how precious your army is, but you don't understand what is the point of your army when the nest is overwhelmed and the country is destroyed!

If it weren't for the critical situation, I, Elier, would be ashamed to be with you!"

After everyone had left, General Elier said angrily in the camp alone.

Many times, after using too much scheming and getting used to ignorance, General Elier will also feel lonely, and whenever he is alone, General Elier will vent his emotions like ordinary people.

But once he stepped out of the camp, he must be the omnipotent General Elier in front of everyone, which is the sorrow of Elier, but he has achieved the responsibility of a general.

Now is only the first step for Elier Liwei, as long as he can defeat the Talon army led by Slok on his own, no one will dare to object to him.
