Chapter 725: Sanctimonious
Chapter 725: Sanctimonious
Due to Malodia's sudden surrender and Elisa's final compromise, it took only one day for the Entagre army to capture the city of Falls, an important city for the survival of the centaurs, two days ahead of Christine's original three-day plan.
And because of the previous act of setting fire to the forest in Malodia, the Entagri army had to send out a flight force to attack the waterfall city in advance, saving another day, so in fact, the Entagri army completed the task of conquering the waterfall city three days in advance.
This situation not only greatly surprised the elven kingdom's expectations, causing the elven kingdom's top brass to tremble, but the Entagri army itself was a little unexpected, but this unexpected situation was like a shot in the arm for the rebel forces such as centaurs and forest dwarves who were trying to resist the oppression of the elven kingdom.
After receiving the news from the envoys sent by the Entagrean army that the Entagri army had successfully captured the city of the waterfalls, and managed to confirm it, all over the elven kingdom, these rebel forces that were secretly preparing for an armed uprising were all boiling.
They didn't know that this battle actually had a lot of inside information, but they only saw that the defenders of Waterfall City used the most extreme method to resist the large-scale attack of the Entagri army, but in the end, the Entagri army overcame it in one fell swoop with lightning speed.
This greatly increased their confidence in the Ntagrean Army.
They didn't intend to sit idly by in this battle that would change the fate of the Elven Kingdom, but they immediately accelerated their actions, they contacted each other, and then overnight, an earth-shattering turmoil unprecedented in the Elven Kingdom since its founding began.
The centaurs were undoubtedly the first initiators of this upheaval, and they had long decided not to compromise with the elves regardless of the outcome of the battle in the city of waterfalls.
The centaurs in the ** team of the elven kings in various places rioted one after another, and the elven army, which had long monitored these unstable elements, immediately began to quell the rebellion, and all of a sudden, from the forests of Tural to the forests of Eremi, the elven kingdoms were full of smoke, and battles of all sizes broke out in various places.
Almost all of the Elven King** teams have fallen into chaos because of this, because almost all of the Elven King** teams have a large number of centaur soldiers.
And it's not just the centaurs who openly rebelled, with the fall of the Waterfall City as the trigger, and the rebellion of the centaurs as the fuse, many races, including the forest dwarves and the forest people, also started a large-scale rebellion, and then, the remnants of the defeated soldiers who hid in the forest after the defeat of the Farouk army also started to act as a matter of course.
Of course, since Farouk has long since disappeared, his later performance has also disappointed others, so this time, these rioters who also advocate the concept of racial equality, the object of their support has naturally become the Ntagri Empire.
"Free the forest from the violence of the elves"
Shouting such a slogan, the rebel army composed of various races in the forest moved in the direction of the waterfall city while fighting with the ** team of the elf kings in various places.
At the same time, on the side of the Ragner pirates who jointly attacked the Elven Kingdom with the Entagri Army, their huge main fleet, led by the pirate princess Catarina, finally arrived at a sea area north of the Elven Kingdom.
Subsequently, the pirate army, which had caused many Negan lords to suffer greatly in Nigan, made a large-scale landing from a certain coastline of Eri with great ease in the chaos of the Elven Kingdom, and began to advance towards its intended target, Strong in the northern region of Erig.
Under the personal command of Catarina, this pirate army swept through all the elven king** teams they encountered along the way, I have to say that Catarina is indeed a genius, she used the pirates' unique magic wands to form a mage army that can inflict quick and deadly blows on the enemy, and developed a series of tactics based on this, so that the pirate army that was not good at land combat has greatly improved its combat effectiveness.
And unlike those pirates who had previously plundered in the coastal areas of the Elven Kingdom, this pirate army led by Catarina herself did not burn and loot as usual along the way, on the contrary, under the constraints of Catarina, the pirate soldiers were very disciplined, although they did not commit any crimes against the towns and villages they passed along the way, but they did not do anything out of the ordinary, and now those pirates who have been scattered in the coastal areas of the Elven Kingdom are also much more honest because of Katarina's warning, Don't dare to act as unscrupulously as before.
In the Negan Unification War, she understood the power of the human heart from the strategy and tactics of the Entagre Army, and the pirate princess has made up her mind to change the style of the Rigner pirates, because she feels that if the Rigner pirates want to really rise in this world, they must first get the hearts of the people, and only by getting the hearts of the people can they get the support of the people, and with the support of the people, the Rigner pirates can get out of the Ragner Islands and really set foot on various continents.
For this reason, she worked hard to learn everything about the Ntagri Empire, the slogan of racial equality, although she would not shout it, and she could not shout it, but she could still imitate many of the practices of the Ntagri Empire, and she firmly believed that doing so was the most correct and effective.
The strong actions of the Rigner pirates have undoubtedly made the situation in the Elven Kingdom more turbulent, but for the Elven Kingdom, all of this is not the worst situation.
Worse is yet to come.
The forest dragon clan, which has always been the most staunch ally of the elven kingdom, has finally begun to show signs of instability at the most difficult moment of the elven kingdom's turmoil.
Because on this day, the Erion Cliff, welcomed a special guest.
It was a barbarian who had great kindness to the forest dragons in the Dragon War.
Back then, this barbarian borrowed an army from the Elven Kingdom, and then assisted the Elven Kingdom and the dragons to defeat the Dragon Queen Moriel who came across the sea, drove the Negan Dragon Army back to Negan, and liberated the Forest Dragon Clan from the control of the Dragon Queen Moryl.
The name of this barbarian is Tanan.
Friends of the Dragon, Tanan.
The Forest Dragons are so grateful to Tanan that they even openly recognize Tanan's status as an immortal hero, calling the barbarian a friend of the dragon and giving the barbarian the privilege of free access to the Elryoncliff.
And this privilege, even the elven king Parson, does not have.
After the elven kingdom discovered Tanan's true identity back then, it expelled Tanan, and the Elryon Cliff side even blushed with the elven kingdom because of this.
After many years, Tanan reappeared at Dragon Cliff, and the dragons were of course very welcome.
However, when Tanan made his intention clear and wore the ambassador badge with the oak emblem that represented his identity as an envoy of the Entagri Empire, the forest dragons, including the Golden Dragon Queen, all lost their minds.
For the Forest Dragon Clan, this incident is definitely the most shocking event in the dragon's heart over the years.
"You've joined the Entagri Empire? Serve the human named Jian Chen? The Golden Dragon Queen could hardly believe her ears and eyes, she strongly doubted everything she had just heard and seen, "How is it possible that there is still someone in this world who can be driven by you willingly?" You are an immortal hero, Tanan, you are a former barbarian tyrant, you are the god of war in ruins, you overthrew the Bracaton Empire, you made the kingdom of Krurod rise, it was you who made the kingdom of Tytaria appear, how could you be willing to be a subordinate, this is even more unbelievable than you want to reign over the world"
The Golden Dragon Queen expressed her surprise with a volume that was almost like a roar, and her super loud voice made the luxurious dragon's lair she was in at this time buzz.
"Nothing is impossible, Your Royal Highness" Although the other party mentioned his many titles and some amazing achievements in the past, Tanan only smiled indifferently, "Except for the immortal body, I am the same as everyone else, not much different, I can also be impressed by others, so of course I can also be loyal to the person who impressed me Now, that person has appeared Her Royal Highness, this time, I bring you the kindness of the Emperor of the Ntagri Empire"
The Golden Dragon Queen stared at Tanan for a long time, and then began to shake her head: "Tanan, if it weren't for knowing that you have never been a joker, I would definitely think that you were making a big joke with me, I can't believe it, you are now on the same side as that dragon queen Moriel, and you dare to persuade me to betray my long-time ally, and in turn shake hands with that former enemy of life and death, and whether your head is broken, and, I heard that the fairy dragon clan has also joined the Entagri Empire, which is also a good thing for you, I know that those purple guys have always listened to you, I don't know what you or those purple guys think, but we, the forest dragon clan, will never betray our allies."
"Your loyalty to your allies makes me feel sincere admiration Your Highness" Tanan, who had already guessed that the Golden Dragon Queen would answer like this, sighed, a little helpless, "But Your Highness, I am very sorry for the way you chose your allies In my opinion, the Elven Kingdom is not your so-called ally, or in other words, the Elven Kingdom, has the Forest Dragon Clan been treated as their true allies?" Please think about it, what have the Forest Dragons gained from the Elven Kingdom over the years? ”
"How does the elven kingdom treat other races, presumably Your Highness, you also know very well, what do you think is the reason for the chaos in the forest now? If the Forest Dragons didn't have strong force and were borrowed by the Elven Kingdom, would the Forest Dragons be treated much better in the Elven Kingdom than the Centaurs and Dwarves? If the Elven Kingdom had a chance to keep the Forest Dragons firmly in control, do you think they wouldn't do it? Your Highness, you must also know this, don't tell me that you don't mind the performance of the Elven Kingdom during the Dragon War, as far as my personal opinion is concerned, the Elven Kingdom treats the Forest Dragon Clan as an ally, or it is better to say that the Elven Kingdom is simply using the force of the Forest Dragon Clan, for the Elven Kingdom, you, and your people, are just a group of mercenaries who have been hired at a high price."
"And in the Entagri Empire, none of this will happen Your Highness, although as an envoy sent by the Entagri Empire, it is inevitable to boast about the various benefits of the Entagri Empire, but the fact is that the concept of racial equality in the Entagri Empire is not just a casual talk Now in the Entagri Empire, no matter which race, has the right to decide whether they want to join the army, and then fight for the Entagri Empire, in the Entagri Empire, the forest dragon clan does not need to be like now, Because of the so-called covenant, you have to be forced to send a large number of dragons to join one war after another that doesn't have much to do with you, and on the premise of not having a bad impact on other races, the forest dragon clan can live freely and freely in the way you like, and the Entagri Empire also has enough ability to carry out the necessary protection of the forest dragon clan, of course, this is not necessary, because in a country of racial equality, no one would want to harm the forest dragon clan."
"The elven kingdom has been killed in the rebellion of the people, and the seeds of their failure have been planted a long time ago because of the mistakes they made, but Your Highness, although the elves have made mistakes, the forest dragons have not made mistakes, so there is no need for you to keep the so-called covenant that was not equal from the beginning, and let the forest dragons fall into the abyss of no return because of the elves' mistakes, and the current situation must have been clear with your wisdom, the failure of the elven kingdom is inevitable, And the rise of the Entagri Empire is also inevitable."
"As for the Dragon Queen Moriel, I want to say that today's Moriel is no longer the ambitious Dragon Queen Moriel of the past, the current Moryl is the queen of the Entagri Empire, and she is using her ability to assist her husband in a great feat, I have witnessed her change with my eyes She is no longer the enemy of the forest dragon clan, and the dragon of the Entagri Empire is now loyal to her, the former dragon queen, but the emperor of the Entagri Empire."
Tanan's words made the dragons present in the dragon's lair at this time turn their heads and ears for a while, and many dragons showed expressions of intention on their faces, but there was not much change in the expression on the face of the golden dragon queen, this king of the forest dragon clan would not easily shake his position, at least not on the surface.
"I know everything you said, all kinds of things are wrong in the Tanan Elf Kingdom, I know it well, I also know what attitude they have towards the Forest Dragon Clan, the current situation of the Elf Kingdom, I also see it clearly, I don't want to see the clansmen shed too much blood in this war, all of this does not need you to teach me, and I am not against racial equality, the Forest Dragon Clan has always been a peace-loving race, we do not have too many prejudices against other races, and we get along with other races friendly, It's always been our wish, it's just that all the while, we haven't received much kind response from other races."
The Golden Dragon Queen spoke again, her tone a little heavy: "However, these are not reasons for us to betray the elves, even if it is an unequal covenant, but it is still a covenant, and the covenant must be observed, so, unless the elven kingdom cannot fulfill its responsibilities and obligations as an ally, and take the lead in breaking this covenant, otherwise, the forest dragon clan will assist the elf kingdom in this war in this war with the Entagri Empire and other enemies to the death The forest dragon clan, It has never been a perfidious race, at least not when I am in charge of the Forest Dragon Clan, so don't bother with it anymore, my decision will not change."
The Golden Dragon Queen's words were righteous and awe-inspiring, categorical, and sworn to live and die with the elven kingdom, but Tanan knew that the other party was implicitly conveying two meanings to him.
One is that the Forest Dragons don't actually mind joining the Entagri Empire, but the conditions still have to be discussed, and the so-called kind response refers to this.
The second is that the forest dragon clan does not plan to take the initiative to betray the elven kingdom, but if the elven kingdom defaults first, it will be another matter.
In other words, if you want the forest dragon clan to join the Entagri Empire, it is not impossible, negotiate the conditions, and then try to make the elven kingdom default, that is.
If you want to talk about conditions, this is a matter of course, Tanan didn't have any opinions, and when he took the initiative to ask Ying to come and surrender the Forest Dragon Clan, Chen Jian also gave him enough authority to negotiate conditions with the other party.
However, how to make the elven kingdom take the initiative to break the covenant with the forest dragon clan, Tanan is a little worried.
Now that the elven kingdom is in turmoil, will the elves still do such a stupid thing as breaking the covenant with the dragons?
However, Tanan soon realized that what the Golden Dragon Queen wanted was just an excuse to leave the elven kingdom openly.
And excuses, if you want to find them, can always be found.
As soon as he thought of this, Tanan immediately said goodbye to the Golden Dragon Queen.
"I understand, Your Highness, what you mean will be truthfully conveyed to Your Majesty the Emperor of our country For your decision, I deeply regret it, but Your Highness, before leaving, I have to remind you of one thing in my personal capacity, the Elven Kingdom is not a reliable ally, as far as I know, in history, there have been several times when the Elry Dragon Cliff has been attacked by the enemy, and they have not made due rescue in time, and even deliberately prevaricated with such and such excuses, so please do not beware of them to avoid similar incidents, And again. ”
The Golden Dragon Queen couldn't help but narrow her eyes when she heard this, and the corners of her mouth also showed a hint of a nonchalant smile: "Thank you very much for the reminder, my friend, but I think that as an ally, the Elven Kingdom will never let something like this happen again, even in this turbulent moment, this is true, I am very convinced that if they can't do this, I think I will be extremely disappointed and angry."
