Chapter 70: Persuasion

"The lower-ranked families should also be weaker, right? The strength of the Round Spider Clan's attack is still above our Dark Flame Clan's guard strength...... Although there were a considerable number of mercenaries mixed in, they were also bribed by our side and finally fought against the Round Spider family...... Moreover, attacking a family that is more powerful than oneself is extremely risky, and the loser will be punished by the extermination, and this kind of attack that is responsible for the survival of the family will inevitably gather all the power in the hands of the family to make a desperate bet. With all due respect, can we assume that the soldiers of the Round Spider family have already poured out of their nests in the previous attack? "I'm going to say what thought just popped up.

Ayton said lightly: "You mean that the Round Spider family has lost its strength now?" ”

"Well, I do." I replied cautiously.

"So what?" Ayton straightened his face and said, "The Round Spider Clan's attack on our Dark Flame Clan has failed, no matter whether they are exhausted in strength or still retain a few points of strength, they can't get rid of the end of the annihilation of the clan!" ”

I'm starting to suspect that Ayton is playing dumb or teasing me, or if it has another purpose. Based on my knowledge of Magic World, I think that the anthropomorphic intelligence of all NPCs with an intelligence stat of 10 or more can already understand the meaning of what I said earlier. Because of the characteristics of the race, the intelligence attribute of the dark elves is generally 2 points higher than that of other ordinary races, not to mention that the one in front of me is still a noble NPC of the ninth family. But after thinking about it, I've been rambling before, and I haven't directly said the suggestion, although it is very suggestive enough for ordinary people to understand, but after all, it is anthropomorphic intelligence, and the ability to associate is not as good as that of real humans after all, and the things I hinted at may not be thought of, although it does not violate the social rules of the dark elves.

Regardless of whether Ayton's NPC is really stupid or fake, since he opened his mouth, he simply explained the matter: "I don't care about the fate of the round spider family, I just care about the interests of the family!" If we waited until Demon Blade City carried out the law to destroy the Round Spider Family, we wouldn't get any benefit, uh, maybe only the soldiers of the Circle Spider Family who had surrendered could fill the strength of the family, but we could have even received the civilians, slaves, and wealth of the Round Spider Family! ”

Ayton hesitated and asked, "What do you mean......"

"Immediately counterattack the Round Spider family compound, and we will completely destroy them! Isn't it possible to take everything from the loser for granted? ”

"This ...... It's so adventurous! Even if we don't do anything, the Round Spider family will inevitably fail, but if we attack their family compound in turn and don't succeed, then the punishment of Demon Blade City may fall on both families at the same time! ”

"How can you fail to deal with a family that has lost its strength!"

"It's just that you think they may lose their strength, maybe the Round Spider family still left some of the elites in their family compound!"

"Even if there is still a small number of elites left in the Round Spider family, how can they resist our army!"

Ayton and I argued.

“…… Although the number of soldiers of the family was not large in the battle just now, the newly resurrected part of it could not fully recover its combat strength until the time pillar was bright and dark for more than ten times, the mage's arcane and priest's divine magic were almost exhausted, and the other soldiers were also very tired, and the soldiers of the original round spider family who had just surrendered also needed to be guarded...... And even if the Round Spider family didn't have some of the elites left in their family compound, it would take a lot of time just to clear the various traps and magic protections on the outside and inside of their family compound...... If you don't win completely before the bottom half of the Hour Pillar turns completely red...... We can't take that risk! Ayton was unhurried in his analysis.

“…… Oh yes. I can't disagree that Ayton's analysis is valid, "and, while I saw that they had chaplains, I didn't see any priests or above." ”

"Oh, that's not it, priests and high priests don't attack with the army. In fact, as Rose's High Priest, they will stay in the family temple to assist the Mistress and attack us directly with the mind by asking for the help of Goddess Rose to attack us directly in the mind with a magic array. ”

“…… Have it? Why don't I feel it? I asked, puzzled.

"Because it was the same attack on our priests, in fact, it was the first wave of attacks......"

"What would be the effect of that attack?" I asked curiously.

"If their attack is successful, the Mistress and the other priests will be severely damaged, and even simple magic will not be able to be cast properly, but the Mistress and the other priests will block the attack and cause the other to be repulsed by spells with the same effect. After all, the priests of our family are stronger, and they are more favored by Goddess Rose. ”

"That is to say, now even the master mother and priest of the round spider family have lost their combat power!" I exclaimed in surprise: "If we counterattack at this moment, we will definitely succeed!" ”

"Didn't I tell you it was too risky!" Ayton said angrily.

"Yes, you said why. However, there is no need for mages and priests, just soldiers of the warrior, ranger, and thief classes! Understaffed? No! Those soldiers of the Yuan Spider family who had just surrendered did not need to be guarded, but immediately let them plunge into the battle against the original family, with these soldiers who were familiar with the inside to lead the way, how many layers of effects could the various traps and magic protection on the periphery and inside the Yuan Spider family compound play? ”

“…… Absurd! How to guarantee their loyalty? They have just betrayed their original family, in case they betray us again......"

"Loyalty? The original main family that is already destined to be wiped out or the powerful family that has taken refuge in the new clan, which one will they choose? The dark elves who are not smart enough are dead! And they'll be grateful for the opportunity we've given them to prove their sincerity to the new family. Yes, they will spare no effort to destroy the original family! ”

"But ......"

"Didn't the mistress agree to 10 times the price of the mercenary money offered by the round spider family to counter the mercenaries? It must cost a lot of money. Think about it, as long as we succeed, the wealth of the Round Spider family can be used to make up for the loss, and we can even earn more! The mistress will be happy about this. ”

Ayton was a little moved, but still hesitant.

"Ah...... This is just an idea, you only need to speak to the main mother, and everything is still up to the main mother? ”

"This is your idea, why isn't it up to you to speak to the mistress?" Ayton was distracted by me, and asked me why I had suggested that he speak.

I bowed to him slightly: "The subordinate is soft-spoken, and he is not qualified to speak to the master mother." And you have won the grace of the mistress, and if you say something, the mistress will definitely pay attention to it. It's all for the sake of the family and the housewife. ”

Ayton stared at me for a moment, blank on his face. Suddenly laughed: "Okay, good!" If the master mother approves it, I will not monopolize your credit, but I will definitely give you benefits! He turned and walked away.

I looked at Ayton's figure walking towards the family temple, smiled slightly, and walked away.

If the master mother is allowed to attack the official residence of the Round Spider family immediately, I must make some preparations in advance now......
