Chapter 608: The Guidance of Fate
Before he came, all Aretin had in mind was what kind of world the High Elves lived in. How does it compare to Ternaria? The High Elves defeated their Ayn-El Elves, was it luck? Or are the High Elves as powerful as legends and history tell? With a single ship, a hundred crew members control a complete and vast world? Countless lives, in their service? These, in the beginning, were the answers that Arittin had been desperate to know. Even, when he met Hassan, he was only afraid of the other party's powerful elemental cannon, not afraid of the High Elves.
However, a trip to the upper world made Arettin understand what the gap between the two races was. It was an insurmountable chasm, both in terms of civilization, and in the invention and application of various weapons of war. Or the whole clan, Ayn-El is too far from the High Elves. Until, he witnessed the legendary monarch, the king of the High Elves, the king who had been active in hundreds of worlds since two thousand years ago. Personally wiped out their capital, Tyrnaria, and subsequently enslaved the Elven Kings of hundreds of worlds.
At the first sight of him, a feeling of being irresistible and invincible rose in Aretin's heart. Even in the face of Oberon, this feeling has never been felt before, it has never appeared. Later, when he heard about the blood of the ancients, a matter that was kept secret within their clan, Arridine could no longer suppress the shock in his heart.
The blood of the ancients is what they consider to be the key secret to restoring the glory of a clan. Even if the blood of the ancients was lost because of the loss of Laura Doron. However, Ayn-El never gave up on finding the lost blood of the ancients. This is the key to their people, the key to their revival. How is it possible to let this vital bloodline go away? Only, how did the High Elves find out? How did they learn about the secrets of their people and the blood of the ancients?
Could it be that Ayn-El has been living under the watchful eye of the High Elves? Could it be that the High Elves have never given up on otherworldly detection? Or are they keeping their eyes on those worlds even if they have given up on the vastly expansive worlds? These questions are one by one, and Aritin has no way of knowing the answers. He only understood one thing, Ayn-El was no match for the High Elves, and he himself could not deal with the mysterious and powerful Elven King. And for the request to deal with, he can only agree, even if the request is the blood of the ancients.
Aretin is gone, returning to Aynayrne with his Red Knight. He commanded his knights not to talk about the day, let alone talk about it. Although his knights did not know what Arridine had experienced in the palace, they also understood the power of the High Elves. Looking at the boss with an extremely solemn expression, all the elves remained silent and swore never to mention it.
After Aridine left, Hassan looked at his back and said, "Your Majesty, Aridine looks very unhappy! And......" he looked at Jiang Ning, "this group of Ayn-Elf elves are becoming more and more dishonest, sneaking around and doing a lot of things, and they really think we don't know." Whether it's the blood of the ancients, or the cannons that are trying to emulate us. All of them show that these Ain El are by no means as honest as they appear to be. In their hearts, there is still the seed of rebellion! He tried to propose, "Your Majesty, do you want to ......?" and he gestured to the slash.
Jiang Ning glanced at him and said with a smile, "Things haven't reached such an extreme point yet, there's no need for it!" Hassan frowned and said, "But, Your Majesty." Ayn-El is constantly moving and impure, still trying to restore the so-called glory and try to establish a colony like ours. These actions all show that these guys have always had a rebellious mind in their hearts. I am afraid that sooner or later, they will turn the finger at our people. ”
"Just them?" Jiang Ning smiled disdainfully, "Ayn-El's small actions, whether they are open or secretive, are not to be feared. There is a great gap between them and us, like a chasm. It is not just the blood of the ancients that can open up, or even make up for the huge gap between the two races. They have as much potential as we do, but fundamentally they are still weak. Even if you give them 5,000 years, you can't bridge the gap between them and us. ”
"As for the establishment of colonies, it is even more nonsense." Smiled disdainfully.
Hassan asked curiously, "Your Majesty, why is this?" ”
"Even if they were able to conquer the Otherworld, they would not be able to establish a solid colony like ours. How many of the resources they have obtained from the other world can be transformed into strength and heritage? Looking at Hashan's slightly thoughtful expression, Jiang Ning continued, "We can turn the resources from the other world into strength and heritage, and we have relevant systems and a series of follow-up research and plans. And what about Aynale? What do they have? He continued, "Do they have a mature and stable system like ours and a plan for the future? Is there a huge wizard base? Compared to us, the Ain Els are really weak, and even if they get the resources of the other world, they will not be able to build a stable colony in a short period of time. They can't build a stable 'transport channel' in any one world, like we do, and they don't have enough deterrence. Even if the Atlas is forcibly conquered, nothing but an endless rebellion awaits Aynael. ”
"They will expend their last drop of blood in endless rebellions. Unless, you can see that the situation is not good, and close early. Otherwise, it will be consumed forever. Either complete subjugation and rebellion, or complete decline. At that time, no matter what the final outcome is, Ain-El will inevitably be devastated, and I don't know how long it will take to recover. ”
Hassan's sudden realization, "I see. At this point, he fully understood that the plundering of resources in the colony was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. To put it bluntly, the High Elves have a complete 'industrial system' and the knowledge and technology that can consume these resources. Aynael, on the other hand, does not have a complete 'industrial system' and is even moving forward on the road of 'civilization'. They don't have the knowledge and skills to consume these resources internally, or they have very little or no relevant knowledge. Therefore, even if Ayn-El can conquer the Otherworld, they will not have the means or technology to develop a treasure land. To put it bluntly, you can't expect a feudal and backward civilization to have the technology and strength of an industrial civilization. What's more, Ayn-El is not a mature feudal civilization as a whole.
So, even if they can conquer the Atlas, what can they do? Plunder those precious metals, gold and silver? Or grain vs. meat? To put it bluntly, these things are useless and do not enhance the progress and potential of a civilization. Although, the development of civilization is also inseparable from these. However, when civilization reaches a certain level, the dependence on these things is also greatly reduced. The High Elves led by Jiang Ning are at this level. Reliance on these things has become less reliant and development and progress have been directed at scarce resources. These can be transformed into the overall strength and heritage of their race.
Hassan nodded, and then he said, "Your Majesty, what about the blood of the ancients?" He wondered, "Why did you ask Aridine to bring the elf with the blood of the Ancients?" ”
"We are always outsiders in this strange environment. We don't belong here, and we're always outsiders to this strange environment, now and in the future. He said, "The blood of the ancients can help us find the right way home." ”
"Home?" Hassan's expression moved, "Alda......"
Jiang Ning shook his head and waved his hand at him, "Let's go, Hassan." He then instructed, "I have some other things to get out of here, and you will act according to the plan I have made." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After Hassan's departure, Jiang Ning leaned on the throne and began to think obliviously. Then, with a wave of his hand, he opened a portal and followed the guidance of the future and fate to a new world.
