Chapter 531: The Dark Elves' Choice
In the face of Rod's response, the Durex housewife felt that she had nothing to say at all.
It's not that she didn't prepare for this, in fact, when she heard Rhodes say this request, the housewife of Durex was really relieved in her heart, and what the housewives were most afraid of was that they didn't know what the other party was thinking when they were negotiating. Although they did guess that Rhodes must have some intentions for Calessodar City, they were not afraid of 10,000, and if they said "I don't want anything, I just don't like you dark elves", then the mistresses can really only cry.
It's just that now the Durex housemother is still nervous in her heart, because Rhodes spoke in too relaxed tone. If he was domineering and leaked directly, or if he gave them a chance to choose, this was all expected by the Dark Elf Mastermother. But now Rod's tone is completely "It's rare, it would be a pity if I didn't take something back", which meant so much that I didn't even have to guess, which made the Durex housewife feel more and more depressed. Because she was a little unsure, Rod was talking about it casually? Or seriously?
But no matter what, since Rhodes gave these two choices, then they are no longer willing, and they can only choose from it.
However, for the Dark Elves, they didn't like either option.
Rhodes said that it would cost eight-tenths of the entire Kalessodal's wealth, which was a large amount, and of course, the dark elves could naturally grind slowly in this specific value. However, Rod obviously has no interest in this, and even Durex knows that Rod's so-called eight-tenths is probably not waiting for them to hand over the property themselves, but directly collecting all the wealth of the dark elf family, and then returning the remaining three-tenths to them......... If you don't pay it back, it's another story.
So it's just a joke. I'm afraid that even Rhodes himself is really just talking casually, because the operability is so low, it is impossible for him not to understand this. Rather than letting the dark elves take out their own property, it's better to wait for Rhodes to kill all the dark elves and then slowly collect it, isn't it? At least for now, Rhodes has the strength to easily overturn the entire city of Calessodal.
Then the important thing is the latter point, and the reason why Rod proposed two options. It's just covering. But everyone understands that it is clear that he is planning to make a move on Calles Sodal City.
Mistress Durex's guess was correct, Rhodes did plan to do so, but what Mistress Durex didn't expect at all was that Rod's idea suddenly came out of nowhere after a group of idiot dark elves came to find fault. Before that, he was indeed quite sincere and planned to pass by......... It's just soy sauce.
Now, though, Rhodes has changed his mind. There is a way in heaven that you don't take. Hell has no way to cast itself, and since the dark elves are so enthusiastic, Rhodes doesn't mind taking advantage of them. It's just that even if this is an idea that pops into Rhodes's mind, it is also deliberate by him.
The underground race has always been a very, very special race in the Dragon Soul Continent. There is only one reason, and that is that although the underground races are also people of order, they do not live under the protection of dragon souls. The rules of the earth are almost the most stable in the Dragon Soul Continent, and even the land of the Land of Chaos has not been completely eroded by chaos. From this it can be seen that the earth itself has a special rule and order. And because of this, the race that lives underground is actually the other side of the order. Because the underworld they inhabit is protected by dragon souls and cannot be affected. Whether it is the Void Dragon, the Law Dragon, the Dark Dragon, or the Light Dragon's Dragon Soul Protection, it has little impact on the underworld. That's why the Dark Dragon had to come down to the underworld in person, his dragon soul was very powerful on the ground, but unfortunately it was useless for the underworld. Otherwise, in the face of the dark elves, he didn't need to take action in person, as long as he directly manipulated the dragon soul to shelter the dark elves, and there was a thunder, lightning storm, volcanic eruption or something. Then the dark elves themselves will be completely destroyed.
But the Dark Dragon couldn't do it, so he had to take it personally.
This is also what the dark elves once relied on, because although they are people of order, they are not afraid of the protection of dragon spirits at all. The reason why I am following the Night Country now is that the "cultural atmosphere" of the Night Country is very similar to that of the Dark Elves themselves. On the other hand, the undead are indeed the natural enemies of the dark elves, and if they really fight, the dark elves will definitely not be able to bear it. That's why they succumb and become part of the Night Nation.
And now, Rod is also making the same calculation.
Of course, this is not because Rhodes, like the Dark Dragon, has a strong desire for power and wants to control both the surface and the underground world. But the problem was that Rhodes now knew very well that there was chaos on the Night Realm's side, and even he wasn't sure how far Ion was being corrupted by chaos right now. But he was sure that Chaos wouldn't let go of the big cake underground. And the dark elves have no experience in facing Chaos, so instead of letting them be killed by Chaos, and then increasing their strength through assimilation, it is better to simply take action themselves, completely finish this place, and forcibly receive their own side. That's why Rhodes made this choice, of course he knew that with the character of the dark elves, even if he leveled Calessodar, they would not be able to follow him willingly.
But Rod naturally has a way to control the dark elves.
After hearing Rod's suggestion, Mistress Durex did not respond immediately, she thought for a moment, and then raised her head and bowed respectfully to Rhodes again.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Void Dragon, the stakes are high, and I think we need to think about it a little."
"You only have half a day."
Rod waved his hand, and then he didn't say a word, just turned around and left. Looking at his back, the Durex mistress also frowned, and finally, she closed her mouth and quietly walked into the shadows, and soon, her slender figure disappeared like raindrops melting in the water.
Half a day.
When the council mothers learned of this from the Durex mothers, they fell silent.
The news from the front did not reassure them, and it was clear that Rhodes did not seem to have any intention of stopping the attack because he was going to negotiate with the dark elves. Angelint is still unhurried in building her army of the undead, and has even begun to try to upgrade the Death Knights. And Heros is still happy to kill, it seems that he doesn't plan to stop if he doesn't kill until the corpses are all over the field, and the blood is flowing like a river. And the little bubblegum is still continuing to advance, looking at this posture, let alone half a day, in another three hours, the core area where they are will fall along with the pace of other places.
Naturally, Durex relayed the two conditions mentioned by Rhodes to the Council, and of course, everyone saw the first condition as a joke. The second point they pay the most attention to. Dark elves are cunning by nature and have a strong desire for power, and they are extremely sensitive in this regard. So they soon realized that the reason why Rhodes gave such conditions was obviously that there was something that needed to be used with their strength. It wasn't known what it was, but the Dark Elves were certain that it had something to do with the underground. Because no matter how powerful Rhodes is, he is also a surface person, and he can't stay here twenty-four hours a day. But on the other hand, the Dark Elves are veritable underground creatures, and if Rhodes wants to have any intentions for the underground, then mastering the Dark Elves is a good choice.
"Is this the only choice we can make?"
But even so, there are still a few master mothers who are very unwilling, although they are not unaccustomed to surrendering to the inheritors of the dragon soul. But after all, the Night Realm still has a common language with the Dark Elves, but the Void Lord? Not to mention that the two sides are so far apart, can Rhodes guarantee that his current offensive is completely fine? The Dark Elves are not unaware of the situation on the surface, and the Void Lords and Moon's alliance have not had any intention of marching again for some time, although they don't know what the battle situation is, but it is obvious that they have encountered some difficulties. If they promised Rod, and Rhodes couldn't bear to retreat, wouldn't they have to face the wrath of the Dark Dragon? By that time, isn't it just a dead word?
The difference is just whether it is now or later......... Does this still need to be considered?
"I think we should make a choice."
Durex Mistress said in a low voice, she glanced at the other eight mistresses present, but she smiled secretly in her heart, just now, she already had a very good plan. If he succeeds, he will be able to regain his position as the first family in Calessodal City, and maybe even go further...............
"Guys, our options are limited, aren't they?"
"Of course."
At this moment, suddenly, the dark elf, who had been sitting in the center of the round table, wrapped in black robes, spoke. Hearing her voice, Mistress Durex's eyes narrowed.
The first family.
This was the biggest obstacle in her path, and now, what would the First Family do?
Will they give up their power?
"Our First Family has decided to accept the proposal of His Majesty the Void Dragon."
And at this moment, the dark elf had already spoken softly and made a decision. (To be continued......)
