Chapter 722: The Fickle Female Elf
Chapter 722: The Fickle Female Elf
"Elisa, Elisa, I've really been watching you all the time, I didn't expect you to give me so many surprises this time"
Now that he had fallen into the trap set by the enemy, and watching the giant battering ram he had carefully prepared was destroyed at the last moment due to the enemy's attack, Christine couldn't help but have some respect for his opponent this time.
In Christine's opinion, the opponent's early ambush outside the fortress was a stroke of genius.
It's just that Christine didn't know that in fact, in this battle, the opponent who caused him a lot of trouble from the beginning was not Elisa who was in the fortress, but Malodia, who was surrounded by angry soldiers of the Entagri Army at this time.
Malodia knew she couldn't escape this time.
Although she successfully destroyed the enemy's giant battering ram, she and her elite troops were immediately in a desperate situation, and the soldiers of the Ntagrean Army who had recovered from her senses did not give her a chance to escape, and countless soldiers of all races were swarming in the sky and on the ground.
Nearly a hundred golden dragons and hundreds of silver Pegasus knights, if they want to forcibly break through under such circumstances, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream.
This scene naturally fell into Elisa's eyes through the magic screen.
Even if you can't see the faces of the friendly troops who have attacked the enemy's giant battering ram on the screen, Elisa knows that it must be the work of Mallodia.
He desperately rounded his slender eyes, and roared angrily for the magician to make the picture bigger, trying to distinguish the figure of Malodia among the group of sneak attackers surrounded by enemies, he believed that Malodia must be there, because every time, this female elf who is not so good will always take the lead regardless of her own safety, this is her style.
"If I don't set an example, what right do I have to ask others to do dangerous things?"
Many times, the elf had said this to Elisa, who had dissuaded her.
Thinking of this, Elisa, who had already pinched his knuckles with a pair of fists, began to lose his composure as a commander.
He never realized that this female elf had already occupied such an important place in his heart.
On the screen, due to the obscuration of the Entagre Army's flying troops, those sneak attackers had long been lost at this time.
If it weren't for the shred of sanity that remained, Elisa would have almost ordered the entire army to attack.
He was so eager to see this female elf who only occasionally showed a smile in front of him, and could accompany him as before, he couldn't accept the fact that the other party was already in a desperate situation at this time, and he wanted to desperately save this female elf from the enemy's encirclement.
But he couldn't, because he knew that if he did, not only would his family suffer the wrath of the Elven King Parson for it, but tens of thousands of soldiers in the fortress would also die in vain, and all of Mallodia's hard work would be in vain.
And the desperate action of Malodia just now will also be completely meaningless.
Elisa was not afraid to make himself an eternal sinner of the Elven Kingdom and the Elven Clan, but he had no way to ignore the safety of his own family, let alone let tens of thousands of soldiers die in vain for his own selfishness, and he didn't want Malodia to be disappointed in him.
He knew that Malodia wouldn't want him to do that.
"Abominable"
"Why is this happening?"
With a punch on the table in front of him, Elisa almost gritted his teeth, he had never felt so angry at his incompetence as he did now.
"If it weren't for my incompetence, Malodia wouldn't have had to take such a risk"
The elven commander fell into deep remorse.
At this time, on the battlefield that Elisa could not see through the magic screen, the situation suddenly took a new turn that he did not expect.
Facing the soldiers of the Ntagrean Army approaching closer and closer, Malodia threw her longbow to the ground.
"Give up resistance, we surrender"
She shouted at the Golden Dragon and Silver Pegasus Knights.
Malodia's words made the golden dragons look at each other, overwhelmed the elves, and made the Entagrean army stop further action, her voice was loud enough to be heard by some of the Entagrean soldiers who were close to her, and then some of the Entagrean officers stopped the soldiers.
Although full of anger against this group of enemies, the Ntagrean army has had a habit of surrendering without killing the enemy since the Negan Unification War.
Strictly speaking, the vast majority of the soldiers in the Entagre army at this time were surrendered from the armies of the former Negan Lords.
This situation made Mallodia breathe a sigh of relief, and she knew that she had made the right bet.
"Don't do stupid things, our mission has accomplished our courage, even the enemy can't deny it, so there is no need to pay for unnecessary casualties, lay down your arms, surrender to the enemy with me, you don't need to lose your precious lives here"
After convincing the golden dragons and elves, who had decided to fight to the death, to give up resistance, Malodia rolled over and stepped down from her silver pegasus, holding her hands held high, and walked towards the nearest soldier of the Entagre, who was clearly an officer.
"The sincerity of our surrender, you must have seen it, and please do not hurt my men, if you can, I hope to ask to see your commander"
Standing in front of Malodia at this time was an officer of the Medusa Enta Gree Army, Medusa stared at the female elf for a long time, and then said a little unwillingly: "You made a wise choice, the elf annoyed me, because it made me unable to avenge the dead subordinates, but Your Majesty once said that we can't let hatred blind us, so although very reluctant, I still accept your surrender, and report all this to the superiors, waiting for the superiors to deal with you, You'd better not play any tricks in the meantime, or I'll be glad to shoot an arrow through your self-righteous head."
"I don't know how to play tricks," replied Malodia with a wry smile, secretly surprised in her heart.
She was surprised by the generosity of the other party, and although the Entagri army stopped attacking after she said to surrender, she never imagined that things would go so smoothly.
"Can't we let hatred blind us? What an interesting sentence, does Your Majesty mean their emperor? That human named Jian Chen? ”
Watching Officer Medusa summon a soldier to give a few words, Malodia waited for the final result while recalling the other's words in her head.
She suddenly became curious about the empire that had risen like a miracle.
The results soon came out, the surrendered golden dragon and the elves were escorted to a certain place to be guarded, the soldiers of the Entagri army did not bother them much, and Malodia was brought to Christine alone.
This is not the first time that Malodia and Christine have met, but it is clear that Christine has long since remembered that Malodia, the female elf who once appeared in front of him as Elisa's guard, and no one would deliberately care about such a character.
But Malodia still knows Christine, in the last war, following Elisa, she has met many well-known generals of the Erathian Empire, Christine used lightning tactics to shock all sides, so Malodia has a deep impression of him.
However, it was obviously not a good time to catch up, and Malodia didn't think the other party would remember her, she knew very well why Christine agreed with her, and the other party just wanted information about the fortress of the city of waterfalls.
"Thank you very much for your forgiveness, my lord, your kindness is not half as good as your prestige, but my lord, if you want to get information about the city of waterfalls from me, then I'm sorry, I won't tell you a word, although I surrender, it doesn't mean that I will betray my comrades."
Before Christine could speak, Malodia was the first to speak, her head held high without fear and she looked at the enemy commander who could now decide her own fate at will, her eyes full of determination.
"Then why are you seeing me?" Her attitude annoyed Christine, who was already in a rather bad mood because of the destruction of the siege weapon, "What is your purpose? ”
"I ask to see you, I just hope to ask you in person, don't embarrass my surrendered men, I know that our actions just now have caused you quite a lot of trouble, and also made you very angry, if you can, I want your anger to be borne by me alone, you can kill me, but please spare my subordinates, they just obey my orders" Malodia said softly, her expression was a little gloomy, she remembered Elisa, in fact, she didn't want to die, but she also understood that things had come to this point, her own life and death, It's already in someone else's hands.
Christine smiled coldly and said, "Why should I do what you want?" You are my enemy, and you have just destroyed the siege weapons that are so important to our army, do you know how many lives and hours it will cost me more than expected to take this fortress? For this alone, even if I kill you all, it is a matter of course that I admire your courage, but please understand your position, elf, I am not the kind of merciful opponent you imagine, and on the battlefield, I cannot be merciful, because mercy to the enemy is to be cruel to yourself and tell me everything you know, otherwise, I will kill all your subordinates in front of you, one by one, you know, for me, if I can take your life, Come and let my soldiers sacrifice less on this battlefield, it is the greatest mercy, you care about your subordinates, I also cherish my soldiers, you can face death calmly in order to protect your subordinates, and I don't mind being cruel in order to protect your subordinates"
After listening to Christine's words, Malodia couldn't help but be stunned.
Before coming here, she had thought that Christine would use some methods to force herself to comply, but she never imagined that although the other party was cruel, the reasons used were so fair and irrefutable.
The other party clearly conveyed a meaning to her, you have to protect your subordinates, and I must also protect my subordinates.
"I'm sorry, my lord, but I lost my words," the elf smiled wryly, feeling a little embarrassed by her naivety, "but I still can't betray my comrades, you could have killed me and my men, but I still hope that you can spare them, they don't have any threat to you, do you?" And I think that in this war between the Entagri Empire and the Elven Kingdom, your army is more tolerant, and I am afraid that it will be beneficial and harmless to your army's subsequent wars, right? As far as I know, in addition to centaurs and dwarves, there are also many people in the elven race who support the ideas of your country, and appropriate tolerance can definitely win more support for your army."
"Oh?" Christine raised his eyebrows, and he suddenly realized that the female elf in front of him was not simple, her courage, her insight, and not in line with the identity she showed, which made him have some doubts.
"It's hard to imagine that Aleza would send a talent like you to carry out such a dangerous mission" Christine shook her head, a little regretful, "The operation you just led people to destroy the battering ram is not only very bold, but also very strategic, even I didn't react for a while, I don't think this should be a strategy that Eliza has set in advance, right?" You made it on the fly, didn't you? What is your name? How about joining the Ntagri Empire and becoming my subordinate? Anyway, they all surrendered, as long as you swear allegiance to the Ntagri Empire and my Emperor Majesty from now on, I promise you that I will not embarrass your subordinates."
Malodia glanced at Christine in surprise, but didn't speak.
However, in her heart, she began to seriously consider the suggestions put forward by the other party.
In fact, she had already planned to surrender to the Entagri Empire early on.
In fact, for Malodia, who came from a humble background and was deeply influenced by her Druidic father, she was not grateful for the idea of racial equality in the Targre Empire, and it could even be said that she longed for the Entagri Empire.
Therefore, although she has been working hard to deal with the Ntagree army in order to help Elisa, in fact, she has no fighting spirit in her heart.
Malodia is not optimistic about the performance of the elven kingdom in this war, from the moment she confirmed the surprise attack of the Entagri army on the waterfall city, she believed that in this war, the Entagri empire has already been in control, no matter how hard the elven kingdom tries, after this war, it will inevitably be greatly damaged.
At first, she had planned to persuade Elisa to simply surrender.
However, Elisa was afraid that the elven king Parson would be angry with his family, so he had to fight against him.
This left Malodia, who had always had a crush on Elisa, without any other choice, and she couldn't leave Elisa alone.
However, the surrender on the battlefield was also a sudden decision made by Malodia.
Although he has been fighting with the determination to die, at the moment when he really wants to face death, Malodia suddenly does not want to die.
She was reluctant to leave this world like this, she hadn't shown her heart to that fool, she had lived in pain for so many years, and finally began to touch the place of happiness, how could she be willing to die in obscurity on the battlefield like this.
If you survive, maybe there is still hope for everything.
With such thoughts, she decisively chose to surrender.
She was sure that if she surrendered, she would not only save her subordinates from dying in vain, but also keep herself alive, because she knew the way Christine, a former Herathian Empire's famous general, behaved in a good way.
Christine is not a murderous person.
Half of what she said in front of Christine was sincere, but the other half was also for self-preservation, she thought that as long as she was brave, she could win the favor of the other party and increase her chances of survival.
And the facts have proved that what she did was right.
And then she succeeded, but she didn't expect that Christine would invite her to join the Ntagri Empire.
Do you want to say yes?
"How? Need I give you more time to think about it? Her long silence made Christine a little impatient, he didn't have much time to spend on this elven woman right now.
After hesitating for a while, Malodia, who had figured out what to do, finally spoke: "My lord, if your invitation is based on the premise that I reveal the information about the city of waterfalls, then I'm sorry, I have to refuse your kindness but if not, I think I will seriously consider your invitation Also, my name is Malodia, my lord"
Being seen through the trick, Christine couldn't help but be annoyed.
"A smart woman is just annoying, no matter how beautiful she is," the playboy snorted, but he didn't intend to continue to embarrass the other party, just let people take her down and imprison her.
Because from the other party's determined eyes, he clearly knew one thing.
This female elf will not change her mind.
And the killing of the soldiers is neither Christine's style, nor is it the style of the Ntagrean army.
So he had to lock her up first and deal with it after the war was over.
It's just that Christine didn't expect that his judgment was not accurate, because not long after, when the sky began to darken, this female elf named Malodia asked to see him again, and at this time, the female elf had changed her original intention.
"My lord, if I agree to join the Entagri Empire, and am willing to provide you with all the information I know about the Waterfall City, and help you break through this strong fortress in the shortest possible time, so that the strategy of the Entagri Empire can be carried out smoothly, I wonder if it can be exchanged for a few conditions that you promised me?"
The elf asked Christine in a tone full of anticipation.
"Then it depends on what kind of conditions you propose" Christine shrugged, feeling a little helpless that she had underestimated the fickleness of women, "As long as there is no conflict with the interests of the Entagri Empire, and it is not a hurtful thing, and it is within my power, I don't mind agreeing to you"
"I think my request is exactly what you want, my lord," said Mallodia, smiling with great pleasure, for she suddenly appeared, and this time, happiness might really be firmly grasped in the palm of her hand, and there would be no escape.
