Chapter 290: Divided
Landau City is regarded as the birthplace of the True God Cult in the Elven Empire, and most of the high-ranking members of the True God Sect in the Elven Empire were born in Lando, so the importance of Landau City to the True God Cult is no less important than that of Jacqueland City to the Elven Empire.
Therefore, when he learned the news of the fall of Landu City from the true gods, the joy brought by the death of the Elven Empire Emperor and the loss of unified command of the entire Elven Empire was inevitably washed away.
But on the whole, Lin Shui was still happy in his heart at this time.
"Although it is equivalent to changing homes with the Elven Empire, but the other party's emperor died in battle, and we won in the end. Even if there are still elite troops of the Elven Empire approaching, as long as the news of the death of the Elven Empire Emperor is announced, it will be enough for these troops who came to the rescue to collapse without a fight. ”
Lin Shui muttered, and immediately convened a military meeting. At the meeting, Lin Shui told the legion everyone what he had just learned from the True God, and these high-ranking members of the True God Sect and the commander of the legion all changed their faces.
Among them were those who rejoiced that the Elven Emperor had died, those who were worried about the fall of Lando, and even those who were angry or had a pious look on their faces when they heard about the revelation of the true God. And so on and so forth.
But Lin Shui also noticed that at this moment, Manu, who was regarded as his right and left hand, was still indifferent, as if nothing had happened. This calm expression is very different from the others on the field.
Therefore, Lin Shui coughed lightly, and simply looked at Manu and asked, "Manu, what do you think you think we should do next?"
"Mentor, I feel that we have achieved a preliminary victory in this war. Manu said with a relaxed face at this time: "As long as the news of the death of the Elven Empire Emperor is spread, the various forces of the Elven Empire that have lost their unified command will definitely fall into a situation of fighting their own battles." Inevitably, there will be many swingers who sit back and watch the situation unfold.
At this time, we can take advantage of the magnanimity of a victor to subdue those wavers who are not firm in their minds. When all the forces that can be used for us are brought under our command, and then the absolute superior forces are used to eliminate those who are going to resist to the end one by one, the matter will be very simple. ”
"En" Lin Shui nodded. But Lin Shui didn't say anything clear about this, but immediately turned his gaze to the others: "What do you think of Manu's proposal?"
"I think Manu's approach will work. After all, the emperors of the Elven Empire are dead, and the remaining imperial troops will definitely be frightened if they know the news. Then as long as they are not stupid and loyal to the empire, most of the remaining ones will choose to surrender. A high-ranking officer chimed in.
This elven officer can be regarded as a rising star of the True God Cult in recent years, and he can say such a thing, obviously because he is really optimistic about Manu's plan, not because of Manu himself.
Therefore, after the new star officer resigned, most of the people present agreed. The Manu plan was considered to be very feasible. So just a dozen days later, an envoy dressed in rich robes successfully arrived in a small coastal town called Bamud, sandwiched between Landu and Jacqueland.
Bamud, which is a completely unknown coastal city. Many of the inhabitants of the Elven Empire don't even know that there is such a coastal city in their empire. However, now, this unknown coastal town has become a place of stormy encounters.
There are 30,000 warriors of the Elven Empire stationed here, of which nearly 20,000 are from the northern frontier of the empire, and the other more than 10,000 are the naval forces of the elven empire.
As previously stated, the original purpose of this legion was to support the city of Jacqueland in order to free their noble Emperor. But they didn't expect the city of Jacqueland to fall so quickly, and they were only halfway there, and everything was over. Number One
This made the two elven commanders who led the Elven Empire's Northern Frontier Army and Navy a little overwhelmed. So after some deliberation, they stopped in the little town called Bamud.
Intend to see how the situation changes before making a choice. It was also at this time that the envoy sent by Lin Shui arrived in Bamud with an entourage of more than twenty people. And an hour later, he was able to meet the supreme commander of the northern border army of the Elven Empire, Thraniel.
However, the scene at this time did not seem friendly, as the supreme commander of the Northern Frontier Army, Thranriel first let his warriors seize the weapons of the envoy's guard, and then wiped the long sword in his hand with animal fur, while looking at the messenger in a luxurious robe and said: "Councillor Texco, I really didn't expect you to surrender so quickly to the mob and rebels who killed His Majesty the Emperor. Do you know what crime you have committed, my Excellency, and you will die an ugly death!"
With that, Thranriel pointed his sword at Texke, who had been sent by Lin Shui as an emissary.
But even when he was pointed at by the sword, Texke's face showed no fear. He just looked at Thraniel in front of him unhurriedly, and then he pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Your Excellency, General, I feel that I have to tell you that I have never been a traitor. I have been a great believer in the true God from the very beginning, and this is a relationship that I established before I became a member of parliament, and it has not changed to this day. ”
"Ha, I see. You turned out to be a mole. No wonder the original news was leaked, it turned out that you were playing tricks on it!"
"Your Excellency, you think too highly of me, and you think too highly of your empire and your Imperial Majesty. Ask yourself, if it weren't for me, wouldn't that news have been leaked in the first place, and the city of Yakland wouldn't have fallen? The general trend has already been decided, and it is not something that can be reversed by the power of just one or two elves. You have to understand this. ”
“......”
Thranriel still held the sharp, well-forged sword, but at this time, he chose to remain silent. Texke could see that Thranriel was now shaken by his words. So he took the initiative to take a step forward, and after bringing him closer to Thraniel, he struck the railroad while it was hot: "The city of Jacqueland has fallen, and the Emperor to whom you are loyal is gone. This decaying empire will eventually be destroyed, why do you need to go all the way to the dark.
Instead of giving your precious life for this decaying empire, you should devote the rest of your life to more meaningful causes. My mentor, the great leader of the True God Cult, Mr. Elon, spoke to me before I set out. As long as you are willing to offer your loyalty, you will still receive your army. Continue. ”
"Really?"
Texco's words were like a beam of light at this time, and Thraniel's eyes lit up when he heard Tex's promise.
For the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor, Thranriel also has a loyalty. It's just that this loyalty is not enough to make Thraniel give up everything, he is still more concerned with himself and his family than the emperor and the empire.
When he learned of the fall of Yakland, he was worried about the future of himself and his family. The defeat of the city of Jacqueland had left him with the courage to avenge his emperor, and he had thought about surrendering, but he feared that if he surrendered, he would lose everything and be slaughtered.
That's why he persuaded the commander of the navy who was traveling with him to garrison the army in such an unknown town.
But now, hearing that Tesco promised him, he felt that what he feared might not exist.
And then it did, and after Thraniel's expectant question, Texco, as the messenger, first nodded, and then took out a letter from his bosom.
