Chapter 754: Tanan's Offer
Chapter 754: Tanan Offers
With Gru's order, a great chase unfolded in this dense forest immersed in the night.
In the name of clearing out the remnants of the Farouk Army, who may use deception as a trap to disadvantage Lord Gru, Zelifa mobilized the other Jungle Guardian forces in the Emerald City to participate in tonight's operation, and now, in this dense forest, thousands of Elven warriors of the Jungle Guardian Force are outflanking Alice and Tanan from all directions and from the air.
Even Tanan had to fight with 120,000 points of spirit to deal with this situation, and Alice and the others, who had already lost the silver Pegasus, began to despair again.
"No wonder they desperately attacked our silver Pegasus from the beginning, it was originally the idea to fight, and it was really prepared to use so many people"
One of the elves scolded with a little hatred, with an angry face: "Lord Alice, what did we do wrong? Why did Gru do this to us, even if we disobeyed his orders, we wouldn't be guilty of death, right? ”
At this time, the only few elves left around Alice were all wounded, and after escaping a distance, they really couldn't support it, so they found a hidden place to hide and rest temporarily.
Alice calmed down at this time, and only smiled bitterly when she heard this, but she didn't know how to answer.
She didn't speak, and the current situation was so bad, and the other elves didn't know what to say, but the audience was quiet for a while.
"Maybe it's because you know something you shouldn't know"
An abrupt voice broke the awkward silence, and Tanan slowly stepped out of the darkness and into front of several elves.
"I have a way to get you out of here, but in exchange I want you to tell me everything you know, as it is."
Tanan's appearance startled several elves, all of whom stood up and prepared for battle as if they were facing a great enemy, but Alice did not move.
"So it was you, Tanan, did you help us just now?" She sat on the ground, stopped the overreaction of several elves, and then looked at the tall barbarian she had known in front of her with a complicated expression: "But I don't want to thank you, because if I'm not mistaken, it seems that it is precisely because of your sudden appearance that the situation is the way it is, right?" ”
Tanan shrugged his shoulders and replied lightly, "Maybe, but do you think that if I don't show up, the situation won't be the way it is?" What do you think Gru is doing with so many people in the vicinity? Don't tell me that you still think it's just a misunderstanding."
Saying that, Tanan sat down cross-legged in front of Alice, "It's already obvious, isn't it?" Gru, a half-elf, has another side that we don't know about, and you, because you noticed this, tried to come back to him for verification, didn't you? ”
Alice was silent because she knew Tanan was telling the truth.
After a while, she spoke again: "Tanan, I don't know what you or the Entagri Empire want to do, but what I want to say is that I don't know more than Meng Gila and them, and there are many things that your Entagri Empire has long been aware of, isn't it?" From me, you may not get what you want, but if you can pledge to treat these companions of mine well in the name of Friends of the Dragon, I don't mind telling you everything I know."
Feeling the vigilance in Alice's words, Tanan couldn't help but smile: "It seems that you have misunderstood something, Alice, I, Tanan, and the Entagri Empire, have no ill will towards you and your companions, I will take you and your companions to escape, and after you tell me everything you know, you can decide to stay"
"Of course, you are a good general, and I will be happier if you are willing to be loyal to the Entagri Empire, but this matter will depend on your own personal will, and neither I nor anyone else in the Entagri Empire will restrict your freedom, let alone try to disadvantage you."
After saying this, Tanan listened to the surrounding movement for a while, then sighed and stood up: "Okay, they're close, we don't have much time, let's make a decision, Alice, do you want to accept my terms?" ”
"Do I have any other options?" Alice replied gloomily, and then stood up as well, "Get us out, and I'll tell you everything I know, just hope you don't forget what you just said." ”
"That's natural," Tanan smiled, and then began to concentrate on the magic, "Come to me, don't move or talk, I'm not very skilled in this magic, and if it's disturbed, it's easy to fail"
Soon after, in a dazzling milky white magical light, the figures of Tanan, Alice and others disappeared into the dense forest.
The next moment, they appeared in a plaza inside Negan's New MiG Fort.
Before leaving, Tanan accepted Jian Chen's suggestion to move the magic sigil of his Dimensional Gate from his home in Negan to Fort New Mig.
As soon as their figures appeared, they were discovered by the guards on night duty in the New MiG Fort, and soon, the news of Tanan's return reached Chen Jian's ears.
At this time, it was late at night, and Chen Jian hugged Moriel, who was with him tonight, and had already fallen asleep beautifully after a **, but when he heard that Tanan suddenly came back with Alice and a few elves, and asked to see him, he immediately lost his sleepiness and rushed over with Moriel.
"Mr. Tanan, what's going on?"
When he saw Tanan and Alice, Jian Chen couldn't help but be shocked, although Alice's injuries had been treated by Tanan with body magic, but the traces of the battle between the two were unobstructed.
After briefly explaining what happened, Tanan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, my whereabouts have been exposed, and judging from Gru's arrangement, it is not easy for me to get close to Gru, and I can't be relieved that there is such news from Krurod's side, so I temporarily decided to give up the plan to approach Gru, because I think that it is better to focus on Krurod's side to take the risk to find out whether Gru has the Doomsday Blade and the real purpose of planning all this."
Since Alice was on the side, Tanan didn't make it very clear, but of course Jian Chen understood what Tanan meant.
Rather than looking for the missing Doom Blade, it is better to try to get the targeted Ice Sword from the Krurod Kingdom, and if you get one of them, the Entagri Empire will be able to prevent a possible world destruction.
Moreover, Tanan was a barbarian, and it was undoubtedly more convenient for him to act in Krurod than in Ere, at least he would not be suspected of his race in the Krurod region.
It's just that if you want to do all this, you have to act quickly, otherwise after a long time, it will be difficult to say whether anything will happen again, after all, the Krurod Barbarian Kingdom and the Bracada Mage Kingdom are at war, and no one can say which direction the battle will go, and the appearance of the Ice Sword does not mean that the Krurod Kingdom has won the battle.
That's why Tanan will make a quick decision to return to Negan from Ere.
Still, Tanan miscalculated.
He originally thought that Gru's arrest of Alice in such a big way must be because Alice had some information that made Gru jealous, so he rescued Alice easily.
As a result, after Alice revealed everything she knew at this time, Tanan and Jian Chen found that everything was just like what Alice said to Tanan, she didn't know much, and most of them were already in the hands of the Entagri Empire or had guessed it.
Even if Tanan asked repeatedly, Alice couldn't say why, in fact, Alice herself couldn't figure out why Gru was doing this to her.
This made Chen Jian and Tanan look at each other.
Several people didn't expect that the reason why Gru acted like this was actually just a typical thief's mentality, plus he had suffered some losses at the hands of the Entagri Empire before, and Alice had only changed after coming into contact with the Entagri Empire, so the half-elf mistakenly thought that Alice was aware of some of his plans, and felt that Alice was likely to collude with the Entagri Empire, and he didn't want Alice to become another variable that destroyed his immediate plan, so he made such an arrangement.
Seeing that he could no longer get any useful information from Alice, Jian Chen was wondering if he should let Alice leave first, but Tanan asked Alice unwillingly, "Then do you remember that Gru talked about the Ice Sword in front of you?" ”
"The Sword of Ice?" Alice was stunned.
As an elf, and an elf who once had a considerable status in the elven kingdom, Alice had certainly heard of the Ice Sword, but like most elves, Alice only listened to everything about the Ice Sword as a legend and a story.
She couldn't understand why Tanan had suddenly lifted the Sword of Ice.
She didn't know that the Ice Sword was really there, and that it wasn't long ago that the Ice Sword had fallen into the hands of the new king of the Krurod Kingdom, the Behemoth Lord Korg.
However, when Tanan asked her about it, she remembered that Gru had asked her about the legends of the Ice Sword and the island of Warri a long time ago, and asked her what she thought of the Ice Sword.
Her answer made both Jian Chen and Tanan awe-struck.
Because through this answer, both of them were sure of one thing, and that was that Gru knew about the existence of the Ice Sword.
Was it just a coincidence, or was it a deliberate act on the part of Gru?
After Alice left, both Jian Chen and Tanan did not speak for a long time.
What Alice said not only failed to solve their long-standing doubts, but also brought them more mysteries.
However, it is becoming more and more obvious that Gru has a special connection to the Blade of Doom and the Sword of Ice, two weapons that could destroy the world.
"Mr. Tanan, what are your plans next?"
After another half an hour, Jian Chen took the lead in breaking the silence.
Tanan pondered for a moment before replying, "Your Majesty, if you can, I hope you will allow me to take a trip to Krurod to see if I can manage to capture the Sword of Ice." ”
Hearing Tanan say this, Jian Chen couldn't help but secretly say that this is indeed the case: "Mr. Tanan, it's not that I don't believe in your ability, but the Ice Sword is hugely powerful, and the Krurod Kingdom naturally attaches great importance to it. ”
Tanan shook his head and said: "I can't talk about the plan or anything, but the intelligence says that there are conscriptions everywhere in the Krurod Kingdom, and I will use this to try to infiltrate the Krurod army first, and the rest will be improvised, depending on the actual situation, but Your Majesty, I have a suggestion, I hope you can consider it carefully"
"Mr. Tanan, please" Jian Chen nodded, he knew that Tanan had made up his mind, and it was in vain to persuade him, so although he didn't agree with the other party's approach, he didn't stop it.
"Your Majesty, if you can, please don't give up the base area in the southwest of the Tetalia Marsh too early."
During this period of time, with the official reorganization of the Taylaria Liberation Army, the Entagri Empire is gradually withdrawing from the southwestern part of the Tayla Marsh, and now, only a very small number of swamp dwellers and a small part of the Tataria Liberation Army are left in the local area under the command of Thor Troll Bruce and Fire Witch Edney, and most of the swamp dwellers who have returned from all over the swamp have left the swamp in batches after the main force of the Tataria Liberation Army left. Under the arrangement of the Entagri Empire, he moved to the forests of Negan, Overh, and Turalea.
What Jian Chen meant was that the current situation in the Titaria Swamp was chaotic, and the Entagri Empire would not be able to intervene more in a short period of time, and most of the remaining Titarians had already recognized and attached themselves to the Entagri Empire, so the base area in the southwest of the swamp that was originally set up to absorb the Titarians to vote was no longer of much use at this time.
In this case, instead of continuing to let a large number of Taylya Liberation Army and swamp dwellers continue to gather in the southwest of the swamp and spend time and effort to send various supplies from Negan to maintain their consumption, it is better to transfer them to various places within the empire, so that they can live and work in peace and contentment, and at the same time solve the current problem of strength and population that the empire is facing.
And this arrangement is also in line with the needs of the Titarian people today, it has to be said that due to the efforts of the Entagri Empire in all aspects, after recognizing the reality and seeing everything about the Entagri Empire, most of the swamp dwellers are now no longer nostalgic for the Titaria Kingdom, and they are eager to leave this swamp that is being devastated by the war and live in the ideal country they have never forgotten.
According to Jian Chen's original plan, after a period of time, the Entagri Empire will fully withdraw from the Titaria Swamp, and now that the territory is large, and the Titaria Swamp is so chaotic, Chen Jian feels that he doesn't need to go to that muddy water again.
Now Tanan advised him not to exit the Tytalia Swamp too early, Chen Jian was a little confused at first, but after thinking about it carefully, it suddenly dawned on him.
"Mr. Tanan means to keep that base area and use it as a springboard into the Krurod region in case of emergency?"
Tanan smiled: "Yes, that's right, Your Majesty, although that swamp is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the other side is blocked by the necromancers, but it is very close to the Krurod area, anyway, now the necromancers will not easily provoke us, so we might as well continue to occupy there, so that if necessary, we can send a large army from the local area at any time to break through the blockade of the necromancers and enter Krurod by land."
"At the same time, we should also send the First Fleet to the coastal waters of the Krurod region, so that we will have the means to attack the Krurod region by land and sea at the same time, and at that time, depending on the changes in the war between the Krurod Kingdom and the Bracada Kingdom, we will either attack on two sides, or one real and one virtual, and take the initiative and advantage. It's not impossible for us to sweep away the Krurod region and snatch the Ice Sword from us."
After Tanan finished speaking, Jian Chen's heart was already moved.
Although the Entagri Empire is in great need of recuperation now, if it is a battle that is won and undefeated, Chen Jian still doesn't mind fighting a dozen, and now the momentum of the Entagri Empire has been created through the defeat of the Elven Kingdom and the Erathia Empire, although it has been created, but it has not yet reached Chen Jian's expectations, but if you add the defeat of the Krurod Kingdom to the icing on the cake, it is estimated that it will be about the same.
Standing up and taking a few steps back and forth, after thinking for a while, Jian Chen immediately made up his mind.
"What Mr. Tanan said is very true, it is not yet time to give up that base, I will act according to Mr. Tanan's advice, but please be careful when Mr. Tanan goes, and do not act rashly."
After Tanan left, Chen Jian was about to leave, but Moriel, who had been standing behind him and had not spoken, suddenly asked, "Do you really plan to attack the Krurod area?" ”
Chen Jian couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "What's wrong?" Is there anything wrong? ”
Morrill shook his head and said, "There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that I'm thinking, maybe before we make a move, the Erathia Empire will make the first move Have you noticed that after the defeat of Hammondal, the Erathia Empire is gradually increasing its military investment in the western border?" ”
"Attention, yes, but do you think Kendall will send troops to attack Krurod in this situation?"
"It's hard to say what kind of things a person will do when he is cornered, no one can say for sure"
