Chapter 565: Struggle for power and profit
Even Tanan, it is not easy to convince Edney, since ancient times, the Tytarians have a strong sense of independence, they yearn for freedom, they want to establish their own small kingdom, and they hate to be ruled by people or forces outside the swamp, the reason for the formation of this mentality has an important relationship with the fact that Tytaria has been oppressed by outsiders and foreign forces since the time of the Brakaton Empire.
What makes Tanan feel extremely ironic is that it was precisely because of his violence* that this mentality of the Taylians became more and more intensified, and has continued to this day, which makes Tanan secretly sigh that the cycle of cause and effect is so wonderful.
He said so badly that he held Jian Chen and the alliance straight to the sky, and Edney only agreed to try to contact and talk to the other party, but it was obvious that the Witch of Fire did not believe so much in the ideal country described by Tanan, if it was not Tanan, but someone else, the Witch of Fire would treat the other party as a madman.
Tanan could see that Edney was not very willing to contact the alliance, even if she reluctantly agreed, the real purpose of her heart was to get some help from the other party for a fee or for free, not to join the alliance as she hoped, but this kind of thing is not in a hurry, and the reason for the haste is not to be reached Tanan is very clear, and he also believes that after contact, Edney will change his opinion of the alliance, just like those fairy dragons, a few days ago, he has received a message from the fairy dragon patriarch, It is said that the fairy dragons have unanimously agreed to join the alliance.
Tanan then stayed in Edney's rebels, as he had done hundreds of years ago, and he had taken off his barbarian costume and put on a costume that represented his identity as an animal trainer, except for a slight difference in appearance, at this time he looked no different from a swamp dweller, much to Edney's secret delight, women are always very emotional, and they will fluctuate emotionally over seemingly inconsequential things.
At first, the soldiers in Edney's army were quite reluctant to join the barbarian, but they were soon surprised to find that this barbarian who had an ambiguous relationship with the Witch of Fire was so familiar with everything in the swamp, he knew all the common sense that the swamp people should know, and he could speak the authentic swamp dialect, and the ability to tame beasts was so superhuman, whether it was a poisonous dragon fly that came and went like the wind, or a petrified monitor lizard with six legs, or a terrifying brute bull with the eyes of death, The fierce two-legged wyvern obeyed his orders like domestic animals.
And that's not all, when Tanan mysteriously left for a few days, and then appeared in the camp with more than a dozen of the kings of the swamp beasts, those nine-headed dragons that even powerful beast tamers didn't dare to provoke easily, everyone was dumbfounded.
Hydra is not a real dragon, but they have a huge body comparable to a dragon, fierce temperament, they live in some lakes deep in the swamp, although they can't fly, but they have five to nine huge heads, because the shape of the head is a bit like a dragon, so it is called a hydra, this is a kind of strong creature that even dragons are not willing to provoke easily, in the swamp, they are well-deserved kings, but their IQ is extremely low, and their temper is very irritable, since ancient times, Only the most powerful beast tamers in the Tytalia Swamp can tame these monsters with incredible combat power for their own use, and this beast tamer who can tame the nine-headed dragon is all famous and legendary in history.
At present, in the Tytaria swamp, there is only one such powerful beast tamer left, that is, before the fall of the Kingdom of Tytaria, Taize, who is known as the first beast tamer in the kingdom, after the fall of the kingdom, Taize himself also formed a resistance army, with the help of the nine-headed dragon, he has a remarkable record, and his resistance army is also the largest resistance army in the Tytalia region today, which has many regular army soldiers of the former kingdom.
But now, the soldiers of Edney's army were horrified to find that in addition to Teze, there was an animal tamer in the swamp who could tame the nine-headed dragon, and this beast tamer was not a Tytarian, but a barbarian from the Krurod region!
Almost everyone thought they were dreaming, but reality told them plainly that it was all real.
Then many people began to recall the barbarian hero who helped the Titarians establish their own kingdom in the ancient legend, in the legend, the barbarian was also a powerful animal tamer, and at this time, Edney also came forward at the right time, announcing to everyone that Tanan was actually the descendant of the barbarian hero back then, and now seeing that Titalia was in trouble, he returned to the swamp to help the Titarians according to the will of his ancestors.
"He is not like the Krurod people who have invaded our homeland, he is our friend! A friend you can absolutely trust! ”
After some time, Tanan, who was finally recognized by the swamp people, became Edney's staff officer, and his experience made a new breath for the troubled rebels, and at his suggestion, Edney began to liaise with the rest of the rebels.
"The Tytarians must unite in order to better fight the invaders, and you have been scattered and fighting separately like you have done before, and there is nothing to gain except to weaken your own already weak forces and give the enemy a chance to break through!"
The reason is very simple, needless to say, Edney and her most capable general, the former Tytaria officer who is regarded by Edney as her right-hand man, Algin of the Wolf-headed Monster Clan, know it, but although the truth is simple, it is not easy to achieve it.
"We've tried to contact other rebels, but to no avail!" Alkin shook his head and said, his eyes were full of helplessness, "Not everyone is the same as Lord Edney, who only thinks about expelling the invaders and defending their homeland, among the various rebels, there is no shortage of ambitious guys, the desire for power makes them unwilling to be subordinate, unifying so many rebels will inevitably bring all kinds of disputes over interests, and there will be such and such things to fight for power and profit, the big rebels want to annex the small rebels, and the small rebels are also desperately trying to strengthen themselves, Everyone wants to be the legendary hero who leads the swamp dwellers to build a new state, putting the throne of the future king of the swamp under their ass, but not everyone is self-aware! ”
Edney also sighed: "The current swamp people are not as good as the previous swamp people, many of the leaders of the rebel army are military figures or royal family members of the original Kingdom of Taylaria, such as Taize, they know very well what power can bring them, the country is ruined in the eyes of many people, but it has become a good opportunity for them to compete for power, everyone wants to expand their influence, but few people find that our situation is becoming more and more bad, even if they find out, they are not willing to give up the power they have already had, If not, how can those aggressors be so wreath? ”
After listening to the complaints of the two, Tanan couldn't help but be speechless for a while.
He found that he had failed completely, the Kingdom of Titalia that he had established single-handedly, after so many years, there were not many good ideas and traditions handed down, and those messy things were carried forward, no wonder over the years, the Kingdom of Titalia has been doing nothing, and finally it was destroyed, and the original interior was already rotten, and at this time, there are still people who don't want to unite to fight against the outside world, and engage in a nest fight with that little thought.
The atmosphere in Edney's hut became a little dull because of this unpleasant subject.
"But not everyone is like this, there are still many people who are bent on resisting the war, and most of the people we contacted this time are rebels who are determined to resist the war like Lord Edney!" Seeing that Edney was a little gloomy, the wolf-headed monster Alkin couldn't help but speak of relief, "As long as we complete this battle plan, we will definitely be able to attract more like-minded people like us to join, and then, with the influence of Lord Edney and the guidance of Mr. Tanan, we must be able to make the situation start to be optimistic!" ”
Altyn is the only person in Edney's army who knows Tanan's true identity except for Edney, and the fame of the immortal hero makes the wolf-headed monster respectful of him, but like Edney, the wolf-headed monster does not approve of Tanan's proposal to join the alliance, he prefers that Tanan can help the swamp people build a country again, and the battle plan that Edney has always insisted on is also proposed by this wolf-headed monster.
Speaking of that battle plan, Tanan couldn't help frowning: "Edney, Altyn, I think it is necessary for me to remind you again, you can capture the castle used by the emperor to store military supplies, but after you succeed, you must leave the castle with the materials immediately, our advantage lies in the geographical advantage, in guerrilla warfare, before we become stronger, use regular tactics, just afraid of ......"
Speaking of this, Tanan shook his head repeatedly.
"We get it, Mr. Tanan!" Altyn smiled and took Tanan's words: "We will do as you say, Lord Edney agrees with you, but this battle must be carried out, we need food, we need weapons, and these emperors have it, we need to let people see hope, and we also need to use this as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the alliance you said, no one will need a weak ally, presumably after we show our strength, whether we join or not, that alliance will be happy to help us, right?" ”
Tanan was silent for a moment, and finally smiled bitterly: "You don't believe everything I say, but I think if you had been to Negan and seen for yourself the amazing changes that have taken place there, you would have changed your mind!" Okay, okay, I'll do my best to help you in this battle! How many troops do we have, plus those allies who are willing to work together? What is the composition of the force? ”
