Chapter 837: Little People
This winter, many parts of the continent of Erathia were still at war.
The areas where the most fierce battles are of course the three regions of Eri, Diya, and Taylya, located in the northwest of the continent, and the large-scale military operations of the Enlos Empire have turned these three connected lands into a huge Shura field in this winter.
The Krurod region was similarly unsettled, especially in the south, where the Krurod army, which had been torn apart after Korg's death, was no match for the aggressive Erathia army, and was defeated one after another, either being broken by the Erathian army or fleeing to the north of Krurod.
However, although the Erathia army has won many battles in the south of Krurod, its own pressure is also huge, because their enemy is not only the Krurod army, in the north of Krurod, they also have a strong opponent, that is, the Entagre army, although the two sides temporarily restrained each other and did not start a big battle, but the skirmishes have not stopped, and no one can say when the two sides will start a full-scale battle for what reason.
At the same time, in the opposite direction, the Erathian Army has another opponent, the Mage Kingdom of Bracada.
After the Immortal King Magnus collected his troops back to Bracada, he deployed heavy troops in the desert border area where Bracada and Krurod meet, and now that the two sides have completely torn their faces, no one dares to guarantee that the Bracada magicians will not suddenly be hot-headed and counterattack the Erathian army south of Krurod.
Therefore, although the Erathian army in the southern region of Krurod looks infinitely beautiful, it is actually walking on thin ice, and it is not possible to be careful.
In addition to these areas, there are many areas on the continent that are already under the shadow of war, although there is no fighting.
One of these areas is naturally the border area between the Erathian Empire and the Kingdom of Bracada.
Both the Erathian Empire and the Bracada Kingdom have amassed a large number of troops in this area, but the two sides have not immediately fought very tacitly, but are careful to maintain the confrontation situation, because both sides now have reasons not to want to open another battlefield.
In contrast, the situation in another region is much more dire, and war can be said to be imminent.
This region is the northeastern border of the Erathian Empire, which now borders Hammondale under the control of the Entagri Empire.
Since the cooperation negotiations with the Enlos Empire broke down, the Entagre Empire has begun a military campaign against the Erathia Empire, under the order of Chen Jian, Hammondale has assembled a staggering number of the main army of the Entagrean Army, and now anyone can see that it is only a matter of time before the Entagre Empire is launched by Hammondale to attack the Erathia Empire.
In the face of the threat of the Entagri Empire, the Erathia Empire, which was once the strongest country on the continent, did not show weakness, and began to deploy troops to prepare for battle, and also deployed heavy troops on the northeastern border, and the Erathia Empire also received strong support from the Enlos Empire, and a considerable number of elite troops of the Enlos Empire were killed
Sent to this area to help in the war.
The fierce collision between the two empires is about to begin.
It's been a chaotic winter, and too many big events have happened in this winter to attract people's attention.
Then, figures such as Chen Jian, the Emperor of the Entagre Empire, Catherine, the Empress of the Erathia Empire, Roland, the Emperor of the Enroth Empire, Magnus, the immortal king of the Bracada Kingdom, and the elven king Palson, who are enough to influence the trend of the situation, as well as those famous generals who have infinite glory in the war, such as the half-elf Gru, the magician general Star Trosa, etc., have naturally become the object of people's attention because of these events.
People are always accustomed to paying attention to these dazzling big people, and no one cares about those little-known people.
Gandel, the half-elf child, is undoubtedly a small person.
Although he was fortunate enough to be adopted by Lady Laura, whose husband and son were both important in the Entagri Empire, and although he may become another big man in the world because of this relationship in the future when he grows up, it still doesn't change the fact that he is still only a small person.
What happened to the little person, under normal circumstances, no one will care about it except for those who have something to do with him and the parties involved in the incident at the time, plus the deliberate concealment of the hostage incident related to Gander by the Entagri Empire, therefore, Gander was accidentally brought back to Eri by Gru, although it is not a trivial matter, but not too many people know about it.
And because Gander is just an insignificant little person, even the insiders did not link the fact that he was taken away by Gru with the future situation on the mainland, in their opinion, Gander's taking away by Gru was just an accident, even if it was Chen Jian, he also thought so.
Jian Chen is now more concerned about what Gru wants to achieve in this incident.
As for rescuing Gander, Jian Chen's idea is that it is best to solve it through diplomatic means, if it doesn't work, then there is no way, although the strength of the Elven Kingdom is not weak now, and it is still in a disadvantageous state of war with the Enlos Empire, but because of a child, it is really not a wise move to let the Entagri Empire distract its energy and forces to fight again against the Elven Kingdom at this critical moment when the Great War with the Erathia Empire is about to start.
This is also the mainstream idea among the high-ranking members of the Entagri Empire after the incident, even Lady Laura's husband, the elven archery master Kedrak, and Lady Laura's son, the half-elf Pete, also hold this idea.
It's not that they don't care about Gandel, but they have to focus on the big picture.
Launching an unnecessary war for the sake of an inconsequential child will only cause unnecessary losses including personnel, and at the same time, the relative chance of success in rescuing is very small, and even if this war with the elven kingdom is won, it will only make the Entagri Empire and the Enroth Empire directly confront each other earlier, so that the Enroth Empire has a way
Attack the Ntagrean Empire faster and inflict more serious damage on the Ntagrean Empire.
Although Chen Jian will do some stupid things from time to time, but this time he is not confused, not hot-headed, of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that he doesn't know the half-elf child named Gander, many times, human nature is like this, Chen Jian is just a hero created by the current situation in the final analysis, although he can now affect the current situation in turn, but to put it simply, he is just a human being, when things are related to him and the people around him or he is familiar with, he will be hot-blooded and impulsive, But when it happened to someone like Gander who he didn't know, he would be sensible, calm, and think in his best interest.
So in general, Gander's fate should be very bad, and the sadness of the little people is that their existence or absence is too insignificant.
However, in some cases, small people can also be the key to influencing the course of history, although their role in it is not well known, but they did have a considerable impact on the current situation, and even fundamentally changed the final result, forming a kind of butterfly effect.
Gander is such a small person who has affected the course of history, because it was Gru who brought him to Eric, and Gru, who was wise enough and completely controlled the political situation of the Elven Kingdom, is definitely a big man with enough ability to stir up the situation on the continent, Gander has influenced Gru, and then affected the situation on the mainland, although for now, this influence is still very insignificant, but this influence is real, and it is slowly playing its role.
Gander is a half-elf, Gru is also a half-elf, Gander's experience as a child is poignant, Gru's childhood is even more unbearable, there are many very similar places between two half-elves, one big and one small.
What's more, Gru had just experienced the biggest defeat of his life, and he was disheartened by it, and his heart changed dramatically.
So Gandel did not become another tragedy of this era because of this encounter.
After being brought to Eri by Gru, Gander was actually doing quite well, except that he had no personal freedom - no matter where the little half-elf went, he was followed by a few elven warriors.
Gru actually liked Gander very much, and he ignored the diplomatic correspondence from the Entagri Empire about wanting to redeem Gandel, and decided to adopt the little half-elf as his adopted son.
Gru couldn't tell why he liked this little half-elf, maybe because he could always see the shadow of his childhood in Gandle's stubborn expression, or maybe it was because Gander's feelings for Lady Laura always reminded him of his human mother, whose face had long been blurred in his memory.
In short, Gru was very kind to Gandel, and in addition to not letting him escape, he gave the little half-elf everything he thought was the best, gorgeous clothes, fine food, luxurious accommodation, and sent someone to bring it
He traveled everywhere.
Soon, however, Gru realizes that all this does not make Gandor happy, on the contrary, Gander's dislike for him is growing day by day.
This went on for almost half a month.
Gru was unhappy and unhappy with the situation, and for the first time in his life, he tried to show his kindness to others, but was rejected.
Gru was already angry that anyone else dared to do this to him, but this time, Gru did not anger the little half-elf because of this, because he knew that the problem might not be with Gander, but with himself.
"Why?"
Gru decided to settle the matter in the most direct and simple way, and he didn't want to play tricks on Gandor like everyone else, and he didn't want to disguise it, so that night, in the room where the two were now living, he questioned Gander like this.
"Why do you always refuse to accept my kindness? What exactly do you want? Or, what do you want me to do so that you will be happy and accept me as your friend? ”
Gander sat on a beautifully styled rattan chaise longue in the corner of the room with his hands and knees, staring warily at Gru, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, his eyes full of resentment, but at the same time there was a hint of doubt in it.
He didn't answer Gru's question.
The little half-elf is a little confused about the situation now, because he doesn't know what the big bad guy who got himself to this ghost place has the idea of fighting, he once thought that he was going to die this time, but to his surprise, the big bad guy named Gru not only didn't hurt him, but also seemed to be very good to him, during this time, he lived a life that he hadn't even thought about before.
However, the little half-elf did not want to accept such kindness, and it did not matter to him what he ate, what clothes he wore, or where he lived, but the important thing was that he was surrounded by Lady Laura, a group of brothers and sisters, friends from school, and a crowd of people full of kindness who did not look at him in a strange light.
He cherished everything he had in MiG, and everything Gru gave him was nothing compared to it.
"What the hell is that scoundrel trying to do?"
Gander had asked himself this more than once, but even if he wanted to break his head, he couldn't think of an answer.
The room was silent, and the elves, one older and one small, sat facing each other, and Gru waited for Gander's answer, but Gander did not want to answer the question of the wicked man in his mind.
The silence made Gru a little irritated and irritated, he had never been an easily agitated person, but in the face of Gander, his emotions were always prone to some unexpected fluctuations, and the patience he had always been proud of would always disappear unconsciously.
"Why don't you speak? If you don't speak, how can I know what you're thinking? ”
He opened his mouth again, and although his tone was still light, there was already a faint hint of anxiety
The taste is in it, and the eyes are beginning to sharpen.
Sensing this slightly threatening look, Gander was a little uneasy at first, and then he got angry.
He was angry that he had been afraid of the villains in front of him for a moment.
As a man of the Entagri Empire, how could he show his cowardly side in front of the enemy? With that in mind, Gander jumped up from the recliner.
"I'm not going to answer your stupid questions," he shouted, waving his little fist at Gru, "and whatever your plot is, I'm not going to let you get away with killing me, or I'll bite your throat off while you're asleep."
Gander showed Gru a mouthful of white flowers like a demonstration, seeing this scene, Gru subconsciously touched a deep tooth mark on his neck - although he ordered the guards to take away everything in the room that could be used as a weapon by the little half-elf, but he obviously underestimated the little half-elf's will to resist, just the night before, this little half-elf actually took advantage of his sleep to try to bite his throat with his teeth, if it weren't for Gru's quick reaction to the pain, Managed to let his hands break free from the control of the little half-elf in time, and then punched the back of the little half-elf on the head to stun it, the consequences are only unimaginable, the little half-elf's hand was honed in the wilderness and all kinds of beasts when fighting to the death, first block the opponent's movements with his limbs, and then bite off the opponent's throat with sharp teeth to kill the enemy, although it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance, but it is ruthless and effective, Gru carelessly, it is almost overturned in the gutter.
Recalling the situation that night, Gru frowned, he had never been so out of shape, because of his perennial military career, even if he fell asleep, his alertness has always been very high, before Gander, no one has ever been able to get close to him when he is asleep, but for some reason, during this period of time, knowing that Gander is a dangerous existence by his side, he has been sleeping deeply.
Gru was here to reflect, but Gandor was still screaming, he was calling Gru didn't pay attention, but when Gru came back to his senses, Gander was saying loudly as if announcing something: "When the Ntagrean army hits here, you will be finished, if you don't kill me, they will definitely save me"
Hearing this, Gru couldn't help but laugh: "Do you think the Ntagrean Army will come to your rescue?" ”
His words were full of sarcasm.
"Of course," Gandel replied categorically.
"Don't dream," Gru said coldly, "who do you think you are?" You're just an adopted orphan, and there's no way the Ntagrean Empire would provoke an unnecessary war for an insignificant little creature like you."
As he spoke, he summoned a soldier and asked him to take the diplomatic letter from the Ntagri Empire from his office and throw it in front of Gander: "Look, this is what the Ntagri Empire does, sending a diplomatic document that doesn't hurt
And then, there's no more unbelievable words, you take a closer look at the date above"
Gander picked up the document, looked at it for a while, and his face began to change, he was very smart, although he had only been in school for more than half a year, he knew a lot of words, so he could understand the content of the document.
Gru observed the change in the expression of the little half-elf, and continued to hit the other party's young heart: "The Entagri Empire is now busy waging war against the Erathia Empire, and the two sides are about to fight in the Hammondale area, at this critical moment, you little guy, I'm afraid that someone will have forgotten for a long time, and there will be no one to save you, you are dead in the face of the hegemony of the Entagri Empire, you are just a worthless existence."
As he spoke, he accentuated his tone: "The Entagri Empire is not as beautiful as you think, little guy, reality is always cruel, you can't recognize the facts in front of you, indulge in impossible fantasies, and have illusory expectations for this dark world, it won't do you any good."
As he said this, Gru visibly recalled some of the past, and his eyes were a little wandering.
But to his surprise, Gander wasn't too affected by his heartfelt words.
"No, no, maybe as you said, the Ntagre Army will not come to save me, an insignificant little person, but that doesn't mean that the empire is so unbearable, at least, the empire has tried to redeem me, they have tried to redeem me, this insignificant existence, and I will not be forgotten by everyone" The face of the little half-elf, at this moment, showed a maturity that was very incommensurate with his age, and he said in a determined tone: " Mrs. Laura, they will not forget me, I am no longer the lonely and helpless half-elf who doesn't even have a name, now I have my own name, I have family, and I have friends, they may not be able to save me, but they will never forget me."
Looking at the resolute expression on the face of the little half-elf, Gru lost his mind.
