150. For the sake of profit
The war in the underworld is getting more and more intense.
In the beginning, it was just a war between the Blood Clan's secret party and the demon party, although the blood elves, dark elves and werewolves were all suspected of fishing in troubled waters, but these parties still had a certain degree of restraint - even if all the people of the underworld races knew that the war would sooner or later affect the entire underworld, but at least those at the top of the combat power would not make a move.
This kind of civil strife, at most, is just a reshuffle of the power structure of the six holy blood races, which may have an incalculable impact on those small races, but for the overall force, it is not even a bone-breaker.
Only, along with the Matar tribe in the eastern capital. Under the leadership of Matar, after the entire Tades clan was destroyed, the situation of the war changed completely.
Several large werewolf tribes located in the border area of the Blood Clan have invaded the old territory of the Blood Clan, and in an instant, the entire border territory of the Blood Clan has shown a splendid situation that has blossomed everywhere. This development of the situation forced the secret party and the demon party to temporarily put aside the dispute between each other's concepts, and under the coordination of the blood clan elders, they began to resist the full-scale invasion of the werewolf tribe with all their might.
At the same time as the thousand-year-old holy war broke out between the blood clan and the werewolves, the blood elves who were originally going to take advantage of the fire to rob the blood clan and take a bite on the fat of the blood clan had to give up such a rare opportunity because they were well versed in the accident that happened in the forest, and instead began to cooperate with the dark elf revenge party, and the army marched into the forest of deep understanding.
Although this behavior has caused strong dissatisfaction among the Dark Elf Eternal Night, it is just that compared to the Dark Elf Reformer, the Blood Elves are more in line with the behavior of the Eternal Night Party in a certain ideological concept, so the tripartite cooperation is naturally a matter of course - in a sense, the Blood Clan has to thank the Dark Elf Reformer Party, otherwise they will not only have to face the invasion of werewolves, but also have to garrison heavy troops to prevent the Blood Elves, the Dark Elves Eternal Night Party and the Vengeance Party from taking advantage of the fire.
In such a crazy war situation, the spider demons who have always adhered to a neutral attitude will naturally not let go, and many spider demon tribes have joined this war feast in the form of mercenaries. The Demons located in the southwestern corner of the Underworld also have a small number of them entered the Forest of Knowledge, and also received orders similar to mercenaries to act, but unlike the Spider Demon mercenaries who formed a large army, the Demons were more like mercenaries, or killers - after all, the best thing the Demons were at was assassination.
The Spider Demons did not enter the Forest of Knowledge, and the battlefield they accepted for hire was more in the north: the werewolf invasion caught the Bloods by surprise, which gave the Werewolves a large advantage at the beginning of the war, and thus made the battlefield completely break out in the old realm controlled by the Bloods. In this situation, the Bloods also had to hire a large number of spider demon legions to maintain the balance on the battlefield, hoping to drive the werewolves out of their territory.
Of course, it would be great if we could take the territory of the werewolves.
Almost the entire underworld was speculating about how long this werewolf, blood, and spider demon war would last before the key battle of the "battlefield nightmare" appeared, and the main battlefield of the forest, which was ignored by countless people, was the first to break out the "battlefield nightmare".
The so-called battlefield nightmare is a special term formulated by the underworld for a war that can play a key role, or a war that has a profound impact on the subsequent battles, and a carnage that is almost one-sided.
Typically, a "battlefield nightmare" erupts only when a civil war occurs on a scale that affects more than an entire ethnic group.
Undoubtedly, this is the case on the battlefield of the Forest.
The total number of troops combined by the Blood Elves, the Dark Elf Vengeance, and the Dark Elves Eternal Night Party is as high as 200,000: the Eternal Night Party has mobilized 100,000 troops, including three of the five most effective legions of the Eternal Night Party, namely the Eternal Night Beast Cavalry Legion, the Eternal Night Unicorn Legion, and the Eternal Night Silver Wing Legion; The Avengers have mobilized more than 50,000 troops, including the Revenge Hunters, who are famous for tracking and chasing the underworld, and the Avengers, who are the best at encircling and attacking fortifications. The Blood Elves also mobilized more than 50,000 troops, including two of the most legendary legions, the Scarlet Dawn Legion and the Scarlet Knights, as well as the Scarlet Guards, who were ready for revenge.
The 200,000-strong tripartite coalition was dispersed into 10 armies of various sizes, and launched a manhunt and slaughter operation throughout the Forest.
Of the 13 strongholds of the Reform Party, five were destroyed in three days.
Although these five strongholds were all small strongholds, it still cost the Reform Party more than 15,000 dark elves, and even exposed the location of at least three strongholds. In the eyes of the three coalition forces, the complete destruction of the Reform Party will be within a month at the latest.
It's just that what people didn't expect was that on the fourth day, the news came that the revenge hunter army was wiped out.
After the loss of the Vengeance Hunter Legion, the coalition of the Dark Elves and Blood Elves suddenly fell into a state of stagnation: they could not pursue the other members of the Reform Party, plus some people leaked secrets, and some people broke through to notify several other strongholds, so when the coalition army pounced on the three leaked strongholds, all that was waiting for them was an empty nest.
Then came the fifth day of the battle, known as the "Knowing Nightmare".
In just one day, the combined forces of the Blood Elves and the Dark Elves wiped out the total strength of the four armies totaling more than 60,000, and with the group army of the avenging hunter legion that was destroyed before, it can be said that there are less than 130,000 of the 200,000 coalition troops. Among them, the Legion of Vengeful Hunters, the Eternal Night Beast Cavalry Legion, the Eternal Night Silver Wing Legion, and the Scarlet Knights were all wiped out, and it can be said that the three forces have suffered heavy losses.
It was only then that the Blood Elves, the Dark Elves, and the Avengers realized that there was a true powerhouse in the Reformation faction that they could not resist at all.
For a time, in addition to the blood elves, the morale of the Eternal Night Party and the Avengers of the Dark Elves was terrifyingly low.
β¦β¦
Listening to the cheers that sounded outside the hollow, the excitement on Rottikabas******' face could not be calmed down.
Under Sean's acquiescence, Imoku was regarded as the secret weapon of the Reform Party, so Imoku's thunderous blow naturally boosted the original low morale of the Reform Party. Coupled with the existence of a former legendary powerhouse of the Eternal Night Party who surrendered to Rottikabas, and Sean, who is also a legendary powerhouse, the dark elves of the entire Reform Party have seen the hope of victory and rise.
This is undoubtedly excellent news for the Reform Party, which has been almost backwater.
It can be said that the plan that Sean and Rottikabas had previously made was half the battle. Next, by using Imoku's interfering abilities to keep the enemy forces besieging the Reformers unable to leave, Sean and Rottikabas will be able to carry out the second step of their plan to rule over the entire Forest of Knowledge: to gradually encroach on the forces of the Eternal Night and the Avengers of the Forest.
Although the plan was bloody and cruel, it was just that after so many things that Rottikabas had been through, he had also become very sane.
Rather than continue to let the Forest of Profound Knowledge fall into such a chaotic situation, it is better to set things right as Sean said, and let the entire Forest of Profound Knowledge have only one voice.
"Thank you." Roticabas looked at Sean and said sincerely, "Thank you for giving me hope." β
"Helping you is helping myself, nothing to thank." Sean smiled and said lightly, "Besides, when you fought with me on the surface, didn't we already reach an agreement?" I'm just keeping my promise now. β
"Hmph."
A slightly mocking cold snort sounded out of place.
Sean squinted at Selena, who was sitting next to him, and said in an indifferent tone: "You should thank me for my kindness, after all, you are now my captive." β
Serena gritted her teeth and looked at Sean, although she was very dissatisfied and angry in her heart, she still did not rush to fight back - or rather, she was very clever not to refute and provoke Sean. And there is only one reason why she is so low-browed, and that is that she is not Sean's opponent at all, not to mention that there is also a legendary powerhouse in the treehouse at the moment.
As long as Serena's brain wasn't broken, she wouldn't be asking for trouble at this time.
"So what do you want to do with me?" Serena took a deep breath, calmed the anger in her heart, and said with an indifferent face, "If you still pay attention to the underworld, then you should know that I am worthless. β
"That's just what you think." Sean smiled, not caring about Serena's words at the moment, "I have always believed that any person will have its own value, and the focus is only on how to use it. β¦β¦ For example, you may have given up on you, but your symbolism is still there, and I'm sure the Giovanni clan will be happy to redeem you as a work of art or something. β
Serena clenched her fists, and Sean's humiliation happened to hit the weakness of her heart.
If she really wanted to marry the tyrant of Giovanni, then she would not have left the castle of Lesenba. Although at the beginning, she really wanted to prove herself in order to avoid being used as a victim of marriage, but after being captured alive by Sean, Selena, who calmed down, thought more clearly, she just didn't want to marry the tyrant, didn't want to be the other party's plaything, and didn't have any too noble reasons and excuses.
"So tell me, what else do I have worth?" Serena raised an eyebrow and asked rhetorically.
"I didn't have the heart to play such a childish game with you, if you were still the Scarlet Queen before, then you should know the reason why I changed my mind and didn't kill you in the end." Sean doesn't buy Serena's account, for this dangerous woman, Sean has never let down his vigilance, even if the other party has become his prisoner at the moment, "If you don't know it yourself, then I'll admit that what you said before is correct." β¦β¦ You're worthless. β
The atmosphere in the tree hole suddenly became stagnant and low.
Rottikabas didn't speak, just looked at Serena who was sitting on the side.
Similarly, Kane didn't speak, he didn't even have the interest to look up at Serena, and was still flipping through the book in his handβone of his few hobbies, especially since it was a book about swordsmanship, which attracted Kane's attention even more.
"I have one condition." After a long time, Serena finally spoke in a deep voice, breaking the strange atmosphere in the tree hole.
"I'm not interested in Lesenba, you can be a queen worthy of the name." Sean knew what Selena wanted to say, it was not about tacit understanding, it was purely because this dangerous woman had a thinking logic almost similar to his own, so Sean only thought about what choice he would make if he was in this situation, so he had already taken full control of the situation.
In this world, the easiest enemy to deal with happens to be the smart enemy.
Because they know what kind of choice is the most appropriate to make in what situation, it has nothing to do with dignity, it is only about interests and the overall situation.
If Josserina thinks about the big picture, then she won't run out.
But she chose to run away from marriage, so the rest of the answer is obvious.
"I will offer you my loyalty." Sean knew very well what choice Selena would make, and Serena also knew how to satisfy Sean, "As long as you don't endanger the Lesenba clan, then I will always be on your side." β
"In addition to that, I have one more request." Sean spoke.
"What requirements?"
Sean looked into Serena's eyes, and then said in a deep voice, "I'm going to enter the nascent blood pool." β
Serena's pupils shrank suddenly, but she didn't immediately reply.
The Blood Pool is a special building unique to the Blood Clan, and it has a special effect similar to the "flesh and white bones" of the Life Church for the Blood Clan, and its value and status are equal to the Life Tree of the Elf Clan.
Generally speaking, the existence of a blood pool is related to the tone of a clan's growth.
If a clan's pool of blood dries up, then the clan is not far from being destroyed. And it turns out that those fallen and ruined blood clans are all because of the drying up of the blood pool, unless they are hit hard by extremely powerful enemies - for example, the Tades clan was defeated by the Matar tribe in one fell swoop, otherwise no powerful blood clan is destroyed before the blood pool dries up.
Just as the elves will take away the seeds of the vitality tree when they divide the clan, and then carefully cultivate and grow them, when the grand duke of the blood clan establishes a new clan, he will also take a drop of blood pool from his own clan, and then inject his own source blood, this drop of blood pool will become the cornerstone of the blood pool, and a steady stream of blood will be born for the blood pool mold that the new clan has already built.
After that, members of the new clan must add a drop of their own source blood to the blood pool once they have reached the earl rank, which is said to be a necessary step to ensure the vitality of the blood pool. Because the activity of the blood pool will gradually decline over time, if a clan has too few members of the earl rank to maintain the activity of the entire blood pool, then the decline of the clan is an inevitable result.
In the entire blood world, except for the thirteen clans that are the ancestors of birth, no matter how powerful the other blood clans are, the activity of the blood pool will continue to decline. Because of this, the blood pool of the thirteen clans is called the core blood pool - it is said that the activity of the core blood pool will never decrease, and this is another important reason why the thirteen clans can maintain their longevity.
As for the newborn blood pool, this is the name of the blood clan for the blood pool of the Lesenba clan, after all, the Lesenba clan is the first blood clan born in the entire blood clan. According to rumors, the newborn blood pool seems to have a special ability that the core blood pool of the other twelve clans does not have, but no one knows what this special ability is, even the blood of the Lesenba clan, it is not clear - at least in their opinion, it seems that there is nothing special.
"That's not easy to get into." Serena said softly, "Not to mention that the coffins of the three elders of our Lesenba clan are inside, and it is said that there is an ancestor coffin at the bottom of the pool. If the blood clan of the non-Lesenba clan enters, it will turn into blood water in an instant, becoming the nourishment of the blood pool. β
"You don't need to worry about this, I have a way to get in, anyway, you just need to remember that after you become the queen of the Lesenba clan, you will only have to promise me." Sean waved his hand casually, apparently not taking Serena's threatening words to heart.
"Well, I can promise you, as long as you have a way to solve it." Serena glanced at Rottikabas and Sean in the room, and then spoke, "But don't say I didn't warn you before that. β¦β¦ There are no less than ten princes in the castle of Lesenba, not to mention the coffins of the three elders suspended in the pool of blood, can you solve it with just the two of you? It's not that I look down on you Reformers, it's just that there is no one out there who can fight except for the spear dancer. β
"You don't have to worry about it." Sean smiled.
"Declare in advance, don't expect me, with my current strength, any prince comes, I can only find a way to escape." Serena said unceremoniously, "If you think I can help you deal with the princes in the castle of Lesenba, then you should give me a good time as soon as possible." β
"I didn't count on you." Sean pursed his lips disdainfully, "You honestly sign the soul contract with me, and say that if you can become the queen of the Lesenba clan, you can make you be, and you are ready to enter the blood pool with me." β
Seeing that she couldn't get any information from Sean, Serena no longer wasted her energy: "Then I have another question." β¦β¦ Giovanni Clan, what are you going to do with it? β
"Giovanni's new king, I've got them ready."
"The new king?" Serena was stunned for a moment, and then her face showed incredulity, obviously having guessed Sean's thoughts, "Are you going to ......?"
"That's right." Sean nodded, "Congratulations on guessing right, but no reward." (To be continued.) )
