Chapter 429: The Benefits of Alliances
The Qingling clan has an extremely strong influence on the mainland, and as a race that is good enough to establish its own country, they are known to everyone on the continent.
Along with their handsome looks, superb archery skills, magical treehouses, and of course, their notoriously anti-alien sentiments and pretentious attitudes.
Therefore, the elven race has always been recognized as one of the most difficult races on the continent.
And the elves are very strong, although the fertility rate is relatively low, they have an extremely long lifespan. They have outstanding archery skills, can continue to train a large number of qualified warriors, also have very powerful magicians, and have formed an offensive and defensive alliance with the city of Eri Dragon, and have received full military assistance from the golden dragon, green dragon and unicorn.
The Elven Kingdom has been established on the continent for a long time, and for so many years, except for the failure to steal the land of Diya by the sneak attack of the necromancers, they have always been a victorious army on the battlefield. Even against the most powerful of the Erathian Empire, they had enough strength to fight each other in a "timber war" that lasted for more than a hundred years and turned the otherwise lush Hammondale into the barren land it is today
The once mighty dragon army of the Negans also returned to Negan after they joined forces with the Erathian Empire and sank on the mainland.
The Cregans were also disgraced in their dense forest, and shook the whole thing in that scene. In the war on the mainland, they counterattacked to Ofer, besieged the capital city of Crela, and reluctantly surrendered for peace, even with the necromancer and Negan's coalition army, it also ended miserably.
In the recent war of the Ofer Nation, the elves also made a big difference, and their elusive guerrilla tactics caused chaos in the rear of the Kregan, and I don't know how many Kregan soldiers died under their extremely accurate feathered arrows.
It is undoubtedly very happy to have a way to secretly weaken such an opponent, so after Jian Chen heard from Vikna that some elves who believed in the ancient druid doctrine were secretly plotting to break away from the elven kingdom, he had been very concerned about this matter, and increased the penetration of Skynet Ji Ge into the elven kingdom, even if he understood that it was very difficult to infiltrate the elven kingdom with a non-elven race.
But with Vikna's intelligence, this difficulty has undoubtedly been reduced a lot, so some of the alliance spies have successfully lurked in the territory of the elven kingdom. And broke into the elves who were trying to be independent.
During this period of time, Jian Chen used these spies. They have been paying close attention to the turmoil in the Elven Kingdom, and judging from the information they have started so far, it seems that these elves who intend to be independent are ready to do it, although the time is still not very ripe. But the Elven Kingdom seems to have sensed their actions and has begun to be on guard.
At this time, in the territory of the elven kingdom, the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings.
For this matter, Jian Chen had specially consulted Kedrak for his opinion, asking him to give his opinion on the current situation from an elf's point of view, but after Kedrak knew about this matter. He repeatedly begged Chen Jian to let him go back to the Tulaone Forest.
According to Kedrak himself, he is also a well-known figure in the elven kingdom, and the fact that he married a human wife back then was even more sensational in the elven kingdom, and more importantly, the elf named Farouk, if not used a pseudonym. Then it is very likely that he was one of them
Friend.
Kedrak is not optimistic about what Farouk is secretly planning this time, in his opinion, rather than letting Farouk and his people die in vain in this civil strife, it is better to put this power in the hands of the alliance, which can make the alliance stronger. Second, it can also avoid unnecessary deaths and injuries.
The reason why he thinks so is because of his knowledge of Farouk.
"Your Excellency, if that Farouk is really the Farouk I know, then I don't think they can succeed this time, Farouk is a staunch Druid, but also an idealist, he is too confident, too optimistic, he will always only see the good side of things, and not the bad side, this kind of blind confidence and optimism will make him make some unrealistic judgments, and then lead to his failure! I can't sit idly by, whether out of concern for this friend or out of fear for the safety of those who follow him! Please allow me to go to the Tulaone Forest, and I will try to convince Farouk to join the cause of the Alliance with the power he has! I'm still confident in my impact."
These were the original words that Kerdrak had said to Jian Chen at that time, and now Jian Chen relayed these words to Moryl and Temple.
After listening to everything Jian Chen said, Morriel thought for a while and asked, "Did Kedrak say that he had a good relationship with that elf named Farouk?" ”
Jian Chen thought for a moment and said, "Kedrak said that he was able to escape from the Tulaone Forest back then. There is also a reason why Farouk secretly assists vigorously, if it weren't for the fact that Farouk, who is the lord of the Elven Kingdom, arranged for people to answer and cover his whereabouts all the way. Perhaps he may not have been able to escape to Hammondale so smoothly, but the two of them broke off contact after he went into seclusion, and they haven't been in touch for years."
Temple had never been too concerned about these things. At this time, he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard Jian Chen's words: "Farouk is still a noble lord of the Elven Kingdom?" "II; Nodding: "Not bad." Otherwise. How could he have the power to instigate this? His territory is located on the southern border of the Elven Kingdom, not too far from Hammondal, according to intelligence. There are a considerable number of people of various races in his territory, and the treatment is not bad in the elven kingdom, which is very rare in the elven kingdom. And Farouk has also been favored by other nobles in the country for this reason, but his family is also a very strong family in the elven kingdom, and in addition to being more friendly to other races, he has never done anything out of the ordinary, so his position has always been very stable, and the other thing is that he believes in the ancient druidic teachings, he has been hiding it very well, if it weren't for Mr. Kedrak to talk about it, I really don't know! Now it seems that he has been using those teachings to secretly develop supporters! ”
Saying that, Jian Chen scratched his head a little distressed: "Actually, of course I hope that Mr. Kedrak can go back and give it a try, but I am not too worried about his safety, Mr. Kedrake found a way back for us with Mr. Tren at such a critical moment, and it was Pete's father, who was in Catherine's barracks at that time, and he was desperate to protect me and Temp, public and private, and reasonable, I didn't want to watch him go back and take risks like this!" ”
Morriel muttered, "Don't worry too much about security, if that Farouk really has a good relationship with Mr. Kedrak!" Even if it doesn't work out. Presumably, it won't be against him, and Mr. Kedrak is so strong. Self-preservation should be no problem. It's just that as soon as Mr. Kade Tak comes forward, the other party will inevitably know about the existence of the alliance and the alliance's infiltration of their forces, and if it happens, it's fine, if it doesn't work out. That's more troublesome, and the alliance may be exposed to the world early because of this! ”
Chen Jian smiled bitterly: "This is also one of the reasons why I have not been able to make up my mind. ”
Morriel shook her head and said, "But that being said, it's still worth the risk!" Or we can change our thinking, and if we can't invite the other person to join, we might as well try to form an alliance with the other party! "Alliance?" Jian Chen was a little surprised, and didn't quite understand Moryl's thoughts for a while, "How do you say this?" ”
Morriel smiled, habitually stood up, put her hands behind her back, and paced back and forth in the room for a few steps: "Yes, it's the Alliance!" We can show our kindness to the other person and provide them with advice. Supplies, weapons, and if necessary, we can even send a part of the army to secretly assist them in the battle! In any case, we have a common enemy, and they must be in great need of these supports! As long as Mr. Kedrak has a really good relationship with him, with Mr. Kedrak as a bond, I don't think that Farouk will refuse our kindness! ”
"Alliing with them and helping them has several advantages for us, first, we can use them to greatly weaken the strength of the Elven Kingdom, and the longer they hold out, the more the Elven Kingdom will be weakened, and the more beneficial it will be to us; Second, we can also help them realize how strong the alliance really is! How deep is the potential! And let them realize how similar their philosophies are, and if they do fail, it will be much easier for us to try to persuade them to join! In the end, the production capacity of the alliance is so good. The weapons made by the dwarves were sold to them. Undoubtedly, it can properly alleviate the economic pressure of the alliance, and the dwarven weapon, appearing in their hands, should not arouse the suspicion of others! I'm sure there must be a large number of forest dwarves under Farouk! ”
"And then there's through military assistance. We can use their banner to secretly weaken the military power of the Elven Kingdom, and at the same time provoke the infighting of the Holy Alliance! The Kregan's Doomblade has disappeared and its whereabouts are still unknown, and the three Holy Alliance have been unhappy about it. We have the power of the Dragon King, we have Master Barty, and if we use one or two Doomsday Judgments in the Elven Kingdom, maybe it will cause some people to misunderstand! And then start a new round of war for the blade of doom! If you think about it, the Blade of Doom appeared in the Elven Kingdom, and it was still in the hands of relatively weak rebels, and it is conceivable that the place where Farouk became independent was his territory, and his territory was so close to Hammondale! Israel's territory is under serious threat. At the same time, in the name of assisting the allies to suppress the rebellion, they sent troops to snatch the Doomsday Blade, which is undoubtedly very beneficial to the Erathia Empire! And the terrifying power of the Doomsday Blade is attractive enough for them to do such a shameless thing! ”
"When the time comes, what will the elven kingdom think? And how will you deal with it? And the magicians of Bracada will definitely take action, and the forces of other parties will also be ready to move! Isn't it worth taking a risk for us to take such an opportunity? ”
Jian Chen and Temple were stunned by Moryl's words.
After a long time, Chen Jian muttered, "Fortunately, you are now my woman, not my enemy, otherwise it would be a very headache!" ”
Hearing Jian Chen's words, Mojier was a little embarrassed. And a little proud: "What nonsense are you talking about!" ”
