Chapter 912: Threat (ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription, ask for a recommendation) ask for a guaranteed monthly pass
To say that Groot's death will make Marco lose a big boost and his strength will be greatly reduced. Then Saya's death will set Marko's efforts back by ten years!
Yes, Saya's influence is so great! Wild elves may not be a big force in the eyes of outsiders. These wild elves have been threatened by slave hunting until now, and if it were really a big force, it would be impossible for them to be so miserable.
But for Marko, the existence of the Wild Elf Alliance can be said to be the fulcrum of all his ambitions.
There is no other reason than because there are mines in the Viper Forest!
Metal Mine!
Any metal mine is a great asset, and this is especially true for the unproductive Feren. And there are not only mines in the viper forest, but also many types and quantities.
Marco wants to realize his ambitions, and there are two things that are most important, one is money, and the other is people. And the former may be more important than the latter. Faeron is not an ideal town, and the smell of copper here is not much better than in the previous life.
There is a truth that is common in any world, and that is "If you don't have money, who will follow you?" ”
Marco has ambition and ability, but that doesn't matter. There are more ambitious and capable people in this world, why don't you see everyone succeeding? The difference is in the money! If you don't have money, even if you have a charisma, it's all in vain. Don't you see, the major churches also have to raise money? No money, no matter how lofty your ambitions are, it's useless! Any world is realistic.
No one will go hungry and fight Marco all over the world.
And the minerals in the Viper Forest are Marko's biggest source of income! Otherwise, why do you think Marco is so good to the wild elves, even now, he is sparing no effort to win over the wild elves? Do you really think that Marco is sympathetic to the misery of the wild elves? Don't be funny! Marco is even like his own wife, how can it be that kind of loving?
All in all, Marco may do something that is not beneficial, but he will never do it to this extent.
It is precisely because of the continuous supply of money from the Viper Forest that Marco can be so smooth. When you have money in your hands to do things, you have confidence. And wealth is only part of the reason, more importantly, that's Marko's arsenal!
Cremur's geographical location is good, and it is because of this that it is thriving today. But if a commercial city wants to support Marco's ambitions, it is not enough. One of the most important problems is weapons!
If you want to talk about the geographical location of Creemore, it is definitely good, it is the most important commodity transit center of Am, whether it is by water or land! But if it's not good, it's really bad. One of the biggest problems is the lack of resources. A lot of supplies have to be shipped from other places, and metal is the most scarce.
If Am's environment had remained the same, the question would of course not matter. But once Amm is in turmoil, then the lack of metal is definitely a fatal weakness, because that means that Cremur has no war potential, a region that can't even be self-sufficient in metal, and it's all to talk about any potential!
In troubled times, there is no sword, and no matter how rich you are, it is just someone else's dish!
So for the sake of his own ambitions, Marco is very dependent on the Viper Forest! At least until he gains a stable resource point, the role of the Viper Forest is irreplaceable.
And the cooperation with the Viper Forest is thanks to Saya. It was because of her that Marco was able to turn his prestige over the wild elves into worship. But if Saya dies here, then everything will be uncertain!
Marco couldn't tolerate this happening, so he knew that threatening Soram with Isabella and them would only make Soram even angrier, but he had no other way! He can't care so much now, he can only save Saya first, and if the situation allows, Groot can also be saved.
When Solam saw Marco leading people to surround Isabella and them, his brows furrowed, and the coldness in his eyes completely turned into a fire that burned everything!
"Hehe, Marco, do you know what you're doing? How dare you threaten me? ”
To be honest, before this, Soram didn't plan to do anything to this guy, at most it was to teach him a lesson. Someone else is also the lord of a city, and killing him will not do Immanuel any good after killing Solam.
Offended the city of Cremur, where did Immanuel's supplies come from?
If it weren't even for Groot's indiscretion to provoke Loris, Solam wouldn't have planned to kill him. Because there is no need, there is no loss on their side, on the contrary, many people died on the other side. Solam's calculation is naturally to shock these people first, and then turn the big things into small things and small things.
But now Marko's actions have led to Soram's death sentence on him! Solam never likes to be threatened by others, not even his parents! Which green onion is he Marco?
"I don't want to do this, you forced me! As long as you let go of Saya and Groot, then everything can be treated as if nothing happened! ”
"You still don't understand me, I mean, do you know what you're going to do with that?" Solam didn't care about Marko's self-justification and conditions, a threat is a threat, and the opposite doesn't matter! Solam doesn't have the habit of being forced to bow his head!
Solam didn't negotiate terms with Marco at all, which made Marco a little flustered. He didn't speak, just looked nervously at Soram as he let his men shrink the encirclement. If he really wants to do something about Isabella, he really doesn't have that plan. His purpose is to save people, not to hurt Solam's people.
Because there is no point in that, what can you do if you kill these people? Does Soram itself shed a hair? No!
Marco is a sane man, and he just wants Soram to give in. No, it can't be said to be a concession. After all, their side is already miserable enough, even if Soram wants to go crazy, it should be enough, he only hopes that Soram can end this early and forgive Sayah and Groot, even if he can't forgive Groot, it's good to leave Saya.
It's a pity that Solam doesn't seem to have the intention of dying down, but has rebounded!
Seeing that Marco didn't speak, Soram didn't care, and as for the smaller and smaller encirclement, Soram was also not the slightest nervous. He just stared at Marco and said, "War! You're going to get war! ”
Marko's threat didn't get what he wanted, but only made the situation worse! Marco, of course, knew what Soram meant, and openly threatened the family of a nobleman to die no matter where he was!
Even if Solam kills Marko now, no one can say anything. Even the Council of Am, which has been working to eradicate the nobility's culture of duel, cannot stop Solam, because it is related to the most basic power of the nobility. The parliament is also made up of aristocrats, and no one likes to be threatened with their own families!
Marco's behavior stepped on the line!
"I ......," Marco seemed to be about to say something, but as soon as he could speak, Soram interrupted him.
"Besides, what mission are you tasked with, you can threaten me?" Solam gave a mocking smile and looked at Marco like a clown.
