132. Deliberation
In a tree-hole hut, three figures were sitting upright.
This is a secret stronghold of the Reform Party in the Forest of Knowledge, but at the moment this secret stronghold is a little chaotic, a large number of dark elves walking in it, it seems to be carrying something, the situation in the entire stronghold seems to be very busy, and from time to time there is a loud shouting sound.
Although all the enemies who discovered this secret stronghold have been killed, the Reform Party has had to carry out a new round of relocation for the sake of safety.
Fundamentally, the Reformist Party is not strong enough to wage war against the Avengers, let alone the Eternal Night.
Among the three major factions of the Dark Elves, the Eternal Night Party is the most powerful and powerful, followed by the Vengeance Party, which is relatively close to the Blood Elves. Not to mention the power of the blood elves, according to what Sean heard from Rottikabas, it is clear that the Avengers have about 100,000 regular army forces - this regular army force refers to the strength of the Silver rank and the rigorously trained Dark Elf troops.
In contrast, the current overall strength of the Reform Party is only about 5,000, which is a very large disparity.
As for the three major factions of the dark elves, the most powerful Eternal Night Party has more than 300,000 regular troops.
And strong people like Rottikabas are not classified in the power system of the regular army. Similarly, underage Dark Elves and those who have not reached the Silver Rank or have not received rigorous military training are also not classified as part of the regular army's power system.
This power system is derived from the blood clan's army power system.
After all, before outsiders entered the underground world, the blood clan had already multiplied here: the term holy blood clan was derived from the blood clan, so the division of strength ranks, the strength system of the army, etc., were also classified from the class division of the blood clan.
But in any case, it is completely conceivable how weak the Dark Elf Reform faction is.
This is also one of the important reasons why Rottikabas met Sean in the surface world and heard that Sean was planning to enter the underworld, so he did not hesitate to join Sean. Fundamentally, Rhoticabas wants to borrow Sean's power to fight for a better living space for his fellow citizens in the underworld.
But at the moment......
"You mean, you're ...... right now Severely impaired in strength? Rottikabas sat in the corner of the hollow of the tree, his brow furrowed.
"Yes." Sean nodded, he had nothing to deny and hide about Rotikabas, "I found your dark elves because of the Eastern Capital." …… I've been to the Matar tribe, and the doctors there can't cure my injuries completely, but they have given me a few suggestions. ”
"The eastern capital of the Matar tribe?" Roticabas thought for a moment, then showed a look of sudden realization, "That little wolf...... Hey, I really didn't pull the wrong person to join the Reform Party in the first place. …… You're here to see Dr. Maiwen, right? What advice was given over there? ”
"Flame of Life Elixir, or Life Crystal Nucleus."
"It's a bit of a hassle." Roticabas' brow furrowed even tighter.
"Whether it's the Flame of Life Elixir or the Life Crystal Nucleus, it's indeed a big trouble." Sean also nodded in agreement, "The other materials are okay, the key is the Starflame Lion and the Shadow Demon Dragon." It's not easy to hunt these two monsters, if I'm in my heyday, it's fine, but in the current situation...... The Shadow Dragon's side is going to be very difficult. ”
"The Flame of Life Elixir is indeed a bit difficult." Rotikabas nodded, "But ......"
"Do you have a clue to the life crystal nucleus?" As soon as he heard Rottikabas's attitude, Sean realized the problem.
Rather than trouble with the Starflame Lion and the Shadow Dragon, Sean would rather snatch a Life Crystal Core by fighting a clan, because it would be much easier than the trouble he had to find a monster. It's just that, just as the same blood clan and werewolf have many clans and tribes, the dark elf race in the Forest of Familiarity also has hundreds of different races, and it is very difficult to say which one of them still retains the life crystal nucleus.
Sean may be able to trouble one or two races, but he can't solve all the dark elf races in the entire Forest.
Although the Reform Party is not as rich and powerful as the Eternal Night Party and the Vengeance Party, it has the advantage of being small in power.
Compared with the Eternal Night Party, which is constantly fighting internally, and the Vengeance Party, which is overwhelmed by internal mountains, the Reform Party can be said to be completely at an unprecedented level of unity, and there is no division of factions within them, and all the Reform Party clans are under the orders of one person. The Lost Knight Legacy of Rhoticabas was inherited from this Elder, and now Rhotikappas has become the Chosen Knight, which means that the leadership banner of the Reform Party will inevitably be handed over to Rhotikappas in the future.
And the Eternal Night and the Vengeance Party are different.
They still maintain the oldest mode of elven council power, and the various races within them are wary of each other, and they all want to become a dominant family. So don't look at the fact that the Eternal Night Party has an army of 300,000 and the Avengers also has an army of 100,000, and if they are actually scattered among the different races, maybe the forces that the weaker races can mobilize and command are even worse than the united Reform Party.
As long as it is a sapient being, there will definitely be flaws to follow, and even the most tight defenses will always have a moment of failure.
This is also the reason why Sean prefers to go to the Avengers and the Eternal Night Party for trouble.
"I don't dare to say the clue, but I know that the Cassedon group definitely preserves a life crystal nucleus." Rottikabas said in a deep voice.
"How are you sure?" The stakes are high, and if it fails, it will be a big trouble for Sean, so he must also ask clearly.
"The son of the current patriarch of the Cassetton tribe, I killed him." Rottikabas explained, "This is what happened after I returned to the Underworld. …… That guy is considered to be the same era as me, and he is also a genius in the Vengeance faction, but he has been stuck in the realm of the upper sanctuary for a long time...... Oh, in our underworld, we call it the Duke. However, after I inherited the relics of the Black God, he was no match for me, so his father specially asked for a life crystal nucleus for him, from the blood elf! ”
Hearing this, Sean's eyebrows furrowed.
The Blood Elves, who claimed to be of the orthodox bloodline, had definitely inherited the most Ancient Elven legacy, so it must not be surprising to have two or three Life Crystal Nuclei in stock. Although the shaman of the Matar tribe said that there were only five life crystal nuclei in the entire underground world at most, Sean didn't really think so, he felt that the number might be two or three more than the shaman had guessed, but it was not announced.
"What is this Kathedon group...... Joined the Blood Elves faction? ”
"Yes." Rottikabas nodded, "But you also know that the blood elves and our dark elves have different skin colors, and they can only come together because of the similar ideas of the Vengeances, and in essence, the blood elves absolutely look down on us dark elves." ”
"In this way, the power of this Cassedon group must be huge."
"One of the eleven clan councilors of the Eternal Night Party." Rottikabas unravels the mystery, "The separation of the Cassetton group is a big blow to both the Eternal Night and the Avengers. You know, they didn't turn to join the Avengers faction, but really volunteered to become blood elves...... Chamberlain. ”
Sean knew that the word squire was quite nice.
The real subtext meaning must be slave.
"And how did you kill him?" However, whether it is a squire or a servant, it doesn't matter to Sean, what really matters is what Rotikabas doesn't explain.
"If you don't kill him, keep him and let him get stronger to kill me?" Rottikabas rolled his eyes, "I received the news that their entire clan had taken refuge in the Blood Elves, and that the Blood Elves had given them a Life Crystal Nucleus, so I immediately took action. …… I deserved that guy's bad luck, and I caught a chance to kill him directly. But it just so happened that I received the news of an accident here as soon as I finished killing someone, so I rushed over to support as soon as possible. ”
"So, that life crystal nucleus hasn't been delivered to the Cassedons yet?" Sean asked.
"Nope." Rottikabas nodded, "So that's the key to what I'm going to say." …… The Kasetton clan has not officially accepted the life crystal nucleus, so now the Kasetton clan cannot be regarded as a blood elf person, the revenge party and the eternal night party are trying to make the Kasetton family change their minds, and the same blood elves will not give up fighting, anyway, now the forest is well versed in forming a vortex around the Kasetton clan. ”
"So, the Life Crystal Nucleus is still on its way to the Cassedon group?"
"Of course." Rottikabas nodded, "If it weren't for the secret report that something happened here, I would definitely find a way to grab that life crystal nucleus." You know, this thing is also very beneficial to me, maybe I can become a super strong person with this life crystal nucleus in one fell swoop. ”
Sean glanced at Rhoti Kabas: "At your level?" Even if you have a life crystal nucleus, you don't have more than a hundred years of polishing and accumulation, and you don't want to become a super strong. ”
In response to Sean's ridicule, Rottikabas pouted noncommittally: "So what do you say?" Do you want to have a fight? ”
"Do you need to ask?" Sean looked at Rhoti Kabas with an idiotic look on his face, "This life crystal nucleus is on its way to the Kasetton Clan, not in the well-guarded Clan Treasury Clan, how could I give up such a rare opportunity." ”
"But in the same way, it is precisely because such an opportunity is very rare that the other party will definitely do a good job of protecting it." Rottikabas looked serious, "Originally, if I were alone, I might not be able to eat this escort, but if you join, it will be different." …… Even if your strength is seriously damaged now, at least you can exert the power of the marquisate rank, right? ”
"Under normal conditions, there is only the rank of earl." Sean once again dispelled Rottikabas's ardent thoughts, "But if you work hard, you can give full play to the strength of the Marquis." …… So now the question is how many princes are there on the other side? ”
"I guess there is only one prince, and the duke should not have one, but the marquis may have one." Rottikabas thought for a moment before he spoke, "As for the viscount and the like, I'm afraid there will be a lot of them,...... After all, this is the Blood Elves' Scarlet Guard. ”
The Scarlet Guards, this unit is also a famous existence in the game.
It may not be as good as the Sacred Puppet Legion and the Pure White Winged Knights in the surface world, but in the underground world, it can definitely be regarded as a quasi-ninth-level army.
There are three commanders in this unit, all of whom have the strength of legendary powerhouses (princes). The average strength of the soldiers in the army has reached the level of the lower gold (baron), and the squad leader must at least be a strong person with a high gold (viscount) to be able to serve, and as for the higher-level centurion, he must at least be a strong person in the lower holy realm (earl) to be able to serve.
However, according to international practice, such a powerful army that can almost be called against the sky is naturally impossible to be large.
So the maximum strength of the Scarlet Guard is a thousand.
The three commanders are one and two lieutenants, except for the chief commander who commands the elite troops of the Scarlet Guard: the Scarlet Guard, which is composed of two hundred elite blood elves, and the other two deputy commanders each lead four hundred people.
According to Rottikabas's investigative intelligence, the escort unit in charge of the Life Crystal Nucleus this time was the Scarlet Guard led by one of the deputy commanders.
This means that this convoy will have at least one prince, one marquis, and three counts - because the Scarlet Guard led by two deputy commanders will have at least one adjutante, and this adjutant will only have the rank of centurion, but he can give orders in the absence of the commander, so the strength must be the rank of marquis to be able to serve the public. As for the Viscount at the squad leader level, that's not to mention, the standard for the Scarlet Guard is a squad of ten people.
"I'll deal with that marquis, and the prince will hand it over to you?" Sean asked.
"That's all I can do." Rottikabas nodded.
"And what about the rest of the people? …… Don't forget, there are still 400 soldiers on the other side, and the 200 you brought can do it? ”
"Our goal is just to grab the life crystal nucleus, and we don't have to fight hard, we just need to aim at the opportunity to carry out a surprise attack, and then contain the opponent's top combat power." Rottikabas pursed his lips, "The war in the underworld is no better than your war in the surface world. In particular, our Reform Party does not have so many manpower, so we need to save some money! ”
Rottikabas focused on the word "Reform Party" to accentuate the tone.
"Okay, okay." Sean shrugged, "Anyway, in the underworld, you have the final say." ”
"Oh, yes." As if remembering something, Rottikabas suddenly spoke, "When I came out of the Black God Ruins this time, I got a nice thing, but unfortunately I couldn't understand it myself. …… I originally thought that I would show you when I brought it out, after all, you are well-informed, and you may have some understanding of this kind of thing, but I didn't expect that after I inherited the power of the relics, I would go straight back to the underground world. ”
"Nice stuff?" Sean was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that Rottikabas could actually have additional gains, "What about things?" ”
"It's at the base camp." Rottikabas spoke, "I knew I would bump into you, so I took it with me." ”
"That thing is huge?"
"It's not big, but it's sharp, and if you don't pay attention, you can get cut." "I wanted to try to incorporate it into my weapon, but it couldn't melt down and couldn't be smelted again, so I left it at home. …… I suspect that this thing is a product of the Age of Ashes, or even the Twilight Age, and the magic patterns on it are very complicated, but they are not innate, and I can't understand them anyway. ”
"No one can read it?"
"No, the elder also said he didn't know." Rottikabas shook his head.
Sean's curiosity grows even bigger. (To be continued.) )
