Chapter 752: Gru's Script
Chapter 752: Gru's Script
"I miscalculated again"
With a long sigh, Gru threw the information in his hand about the Krurod Kingdom having obtained the Ice Sword and used it to defeat the Kingdom of Bracada again, and got up and walked to the window.
The war in the Eri Jungle has become less and less after the beginning of spring, through Gru's efforts, not only the main force of the Rigner pirates has been repulsed, the pirates in the coastal areas have been driven away, and most of the rebellions in various places have been suppressed, and the remaining ones have been unhindered in the overall situation, Gruna's strategy of letting the Elven Kingdom make every effort to ensure that Eri is not lost, has been initially realized, and the Eri Mirin Forest is becoming the new base camp of the Elf Kingdom, under the high-pressure policy of the Elf Clan, the situation in various places is gradually stabilizing.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that a large number of non-elven residents have fled, and these residents of various races who are dissatisfied with the elven kingdom have crossed the border in various ways and fled into the forests of Turalone to seek the protection of the Entagri Empire.
In this case, now that he has won the trust of the elven king Parson, Gru, who is increasingly high and powerful, naturally no longer needs to run around with a large army as he did at the beginning, and after separating a part of the army to continue to clear the remnants of the rebellion, Gru disbanded the army and stationed it all over Ere, and he himself was also instructed by Parson to take an elite army to personally defend the strategic location in the southeast of the Elimic Forest for the elven kingdom, the military town of Emerald City.
Emerald City is a very important gateway to Erie, although it is still some distance away from the border of Erie, but it is very convenient to rush to the aid of many borders, advance and retreat, and defend, Parson let Gru sit here, in order to prevent the Rigner pirates and the Entagre Empire from making a comeback, and at the same time, they can also wait for the opportunity to counterattack the Tulaone Forest.
For Parson's arrangement, Gru is a little unimpressed, in his opinion, the Entagre Empire has captured the Tulaone Forest and Hammondal, this time must be busy digesting and absorbing, and it should not attack Erry in a short time, the Rigner pirates do not have the help of the Entagri Empire, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to speak alone, as long as the Elven Kingdom is not stupid enough to take the initiative to provoke, there should be no large-scale war.
And Gru believes that today's Entagri Empire is no longer something that the elven kingdom can compete with alone, and if you want to fight against this suddenly rising giant, the elven kingdom needs allies.
It is not easy to convince the stubborn Parson to make friends with the other forces again, and the time has not yet come, but Gru is not just sitting there and waiting, he is very patient in planning, he is not a person who will only wait for the moment, he is creating opportunities for his own ideas, he has a new plan in progress.
To defeat the Entagri Empire, it is impossible to rely on the Elven Kingdom alone, he needs more power, a stronger army.
He wants to create a formidable opponent for the Entagri Empire.
But there are always surprises, and Gru was secretly happy that everything was going well, when things suddenly changed in an unexpected way.
His tightest sword of ice fell into the hands of the Krulrod barbarians.
The Emerald City is called the Emerald City because the city is built on the edge of a small lake called the Emerald Lake, which Gru overlooks from the window in this room located high above the castle.
The dense vegetation of the Yeremi Forest and the fact that most of the trees are towering into the sky make most of the Yeremi Forest dark and oppressive due to the fact that the sun cannot penetrate the vegetation blockade, and it is not as vibrant as the Tulaone Forest, but the area around the Emerald Lake is an exception, because of the Emerald Lake, it is one of the few areas in the Emerald Forest where you can directly see the blue sky.
It was early afternoon, and standing in front of the window, Gru could clearly see that the bright sunlight was shining on the calm surface of the lake, making the lake shine like a real giant jade because of the reflection of light.
"That's where the name Emerald Lake comes from, right?"
A slightly mocking smile appeared on the corner of Gru's mouth, and he felt that whether it was Emerald Lake or Emerald City, the names were extremely vulgar.
After looking at it for a while, Gru felt that the beautiful scenery in front of him was really boring, not only did it not help him calm his mood, but also made his mood worse, so he sat back at the table.
Gru was very upset at the moment.
The Entagri Empire made a mess of his plans, forcing him to readjust his plans again and again, and that's it, after all, the Entagri Empire, as well as that Chen Jian, are all opponents who have been approved by him, and he doesn't mind accompanying the Entagri Empire and Chen Jian to play a good war game before destroying this world.
But he never expected that in addition to the Entagri Empire, in addition to Jian Chen, there were other people who would dare to jump out and interfere with his plan.
Korg, the Behemoth Lord, the new king of the Barbarian Kingdom of Krurod.
This barbarian lord dared to take a step ahead of him and get his hands on the Ice Sword.
Once again, all of Gru's plans have been severely sabotaged.
The half-elf had made all kinds of assumptions about his plan, and he had even thought that if the Ice Sword was not successful, it would fall into the hands of Jian Chen due to the intervention of the Entagri Empire, but he never thought that there would be anyone else who would also want to snatch this legendary divine sword.
How do you get this sword of ice that is so important to you from Korg's hands?
Gru frowned and muttered for a long time, but he didn't come up with a feasible solution.
If the Elven Kingdom and the Krurod Kingdom were neighbors, he would be willing to try to convince Parson to fight the barbarians on the battlefield on the pretext of retrieving the Ice Sword.
But now, between the elven kingdom of Eri and the kingdom of Krurod, there is still a Diya, and there is also a Tytalia swamp.
Diya is the stronghold of necromancers.
In the Swamp of Tetalia, the Erathian Empire, the Bracada Mage Kingdom, and the Necromancer are engaged in a devastating melee that has been slow to come to fruition.
It is not very difficult for the elven army to cross these two areas and enter the kingdom of Krurod under such circumstances, and Gru believes that Parson, no matter how idiotic he is, will not make such a ridiculous decision.
It's not feasible to send an elite small army to steal the Ice Sword back, no matter how powerful the Moon Shadow organization is, it's not omnipotent, at the beginning, Moon Shadow couldn't take the Blade of Doom, and there was no way to take Chen Jian, this time, if they were asked to steal the Ice Sword, it would be useless.
After thinking about it, Gru realized that he really didn't have many options.
"That's the way it is."
Sighing again, Gru picked up his pen and began to write.
"The plan must be accelerated a little more, but before defeating the Entagri Empire, first treat the Krurod Kingdom as an object of training, it seems that it is not bad, if you make good use of it, it is not without benefits Chen Jian, Chen Jian, I have found a good opponent for you, when the time comes, you don't want to disappoint me"
Thinking like this, a smile appeared in Gru's eyes again.
The letter was quickly finished, and Gru carefully sealed it, then took out a close-fitting magical letter teleportation array and passed the letter out.
At this moment, there was a sudden and soft knock on the door.
"There's one thing I have to report to you, Lord Gru."
"Come in," Gru replied as he carefully put away the letter teleportation array.
A female elf named Zelifa pushed open the door and walked in.
Zelifa is an elite jungle guardian cultivated by Gru, but her ability is not just as simple as being a jungle guardian, she is a general-type character who can stand alone, and Gru now has a lot of things that are handed over to this female elf.
She is a close confidant of Gru's cronies, and in Gru's small group, her status is similar to that of Lloyd, and even higher than Alice and the others.
"Lord Gru, it's about Alice and their information" Zelifa walked over to the table and reported in a respectful whisper, "Alice, they have entered the realm of Eli, they have made contact with the people we have arranged, and asked to meet you"
"They want to see me?" Gru pondered for a moment, "Didn't they say what they were for?" ”
"Alice means that she has something she wants to confirm with you in person, but what it is, she refuses to disclose it, but according to the report over there, Alice and Jenova seem to be quite anxious and uneasy, they seem to be worried about something, and ...... And ......"
"And what?" Gru frowned slightly, and looked at Ze Lifa in front of him with a little displeasure, "If you have something to say, just say it, don't hide it"
"Yes, Lord Gru," the elf was startled, not daring to make eye contact with Gru's, so she lowered her head, "Our people have heard some suspicious rumors from those who have returned with Alice and them, and they have said it privately...... Talking about the disappearance of Lloyd and the Blade of Doom, it seems to have something to do with you, my lord"
Gru couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "It seems that what I am doing now has begun to make some people feel dissatisfied and even suspicious of me."
As he spoke, he looked at the female elf who had been following him, "What about you, Zelifa, what do you think of what I am doing now?" Let's hear about it, shall we? If I'm not mistaken, you should be quite confused right now, right? ”
Zeli was stunned and hesitated for a while before replying: "My lord, I am indeed a little confused, but I believe you, my lord, I have always believed that all your actions are for our common goal, although I don't quite understand now, and I don't quite understand some of your practices today, but I believe that with your wisdom, even if you do this, then there must be your reasons Then, one day in the future, when the time is ripe, you will naturally tell us everything So, I have always thought, I just have to follow in your footsteps steadfastly, and that's fine."
Gru nodded, but his expression was a little lonely: "It's a pity, not everyone thinks like you, they get carried away themselves, don't listen to my advice, make mistakes that shouldn't be made, let us lose the important blade of doom, let our original plan go smoothly all failed, forced me to do something against my will, and now I repeatedly don't listen to my instructions, and even release such rumors to impose my own mistakes on me, as if the teacher is asking for guilt, I really misjudged them."
"Your Excellency...... You ......" Zelifa was horrified when she heard Gru say this, but Gru interrupted him with a wave of his hand.
"But this can't be all blamed on them, my lack of ability, can't coordinate the overall situation well, and it's also an important reason, I'm really ashamed of those companions who sacrificed for our ideals, Alice, they want to see me, then see me, you help me arrange a time and place"
Speaking of this, Gru closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair with a tired face: "I only hope that they are not instructed by some people to come this time, and they have other purposes, just in case, you can arrange more people."
Ze Lifa couldn't help but change color when he heard this: "My lord, you mean ......"
Gru shook her head and sighed, "I don't want to think about it that way, because Alice and Jenova are not such impulsive people, but this time their actions are so strange, I suspect that they were bewitched by someone, otherwise they wouldn't have spread such outrageous rumors that they didn't mean well, but now everything I've done makes it difficult for me to defend myself I don't want to hurt them, but I can't watch them ruin my plans again."
Saying that, Gru was very helpless to stop the female elf: "Zelifa, you have to understand, the Entagri Empire is not credible, it is just under the banner of racial equality, to achieve its ambition to conquer the continent In order to grow its strength as soon as possible, this country is desperate to absorb all the power that can be used for it, there is no distinction between good and bad, good and evil, just look at them and the Rigner pirates to make it clear, look at what those guys are doing in the forest?" All these have left this empire without a solid foundation, and as time goes by, the hearts of the people will be scattered, and it will undoubtedly fail, and it will undoubtedly be impossible to create the ideal kingdom we are pursuing, so the plan I am working on now is already our last chance, and if we lose this opportunity, we ......"
At this, Gru shook his head, and without further speaking, he got up and walked to the window again, looking at the scenery outside the window in a daze, and after a long time, he spoke again.
"I don't want my former companions to kill each other, I don't want that situation to happen at all, but many times, how things will play out is not something we can predict and control, if that happens, try to be merciful, maybe we still have a chance to find out, in them, in the Entagri Empire, what happened to make them have such an amazing change, maybe we still have a chance, let them become our companions again"
"I understand, Lord Gru" After listening to Gru's words, Zelifa, who was already convinced of Gru, couldn't help but be greatly moved, "Please rest assured, Lord Gru, Zelifa will do his best, and he will not let anyone ruin your plan, I will make arrangements"
After saying that, Zelifa saluted Gru and was about to leave, but he heard Gru remind: "Zelifa, set up some more secret sentinels around the meeting place to monitor all the places where you can hide, I don't know if I'm too worried, but I always feel that the people who instructed Alice and them behind their backs are likely to follow Alice and them secretly in the dark, right, do we have enough manpower?" If that happens, I don't want anyone to slip through the cracks."
"I'll pay attention, Lord Gru," Zelifa replied in a deep voice, full of confidence, "There is no problem in terms of manpower, in fact, Alice and they have entered Erie, and their every move is under our surveillance, this meeting, if we use the secret mission as a reason, we can also mobilize those jungle guardian troops who don't know our details to find a reason to prevaricate afterwards Anyway, now Erie is not completely peaceful, Alice and their public identity is the remnants of the Farouk Army, No problem, my lord, now that your prestige in the army is in full swing, even if anyone has doubts, it will not have a negative impact on our plans."
"yes, then you go, be careful"
After Zelifa left, Gru remained motionless in front of the window.
He had already murdered Alice and the others.
In the mind of the half-elf, all chess pieces that do not act according to his ideas should be disposed of mercilessly.
But now he still decided to keep Alice and the others alive for the time being.
Because he had to find out what Alice and the others knew before he became suspicious of him, and he had to find out what the Entagri Empire knew from Alice and the others.
After figuring this out, he was able to let Alice and the others die with peace of mind.
There were many unexpected variables in the plan, and he had to be careful, not to mention that Alice and the others only had this kind of change after coming into contact with the Entagri Empire.
Gru found that all the events related to the Ntagrei Empire so far would have had some very bad effects, either directly or indirectly, on his plans.
Although he regarded the Ntagri Empire and Jian Chen as his good opponents, Gru didn't want to let the other party continue to sabotage his plans now.
There is a limit to his patience.
Just as he was thinking about it, Gru suddenly felt something, and he took out the magic letter teleportation array that had just been used that was vibrating in his arms, and received a letter.
After reading the letter, Gru couldn't help but smile, and he smiled happily.
"These guys, if I don't push you, you really can't make up your mind, I have written the script for you, so you can act obediently according to my wishes."
