Chapter 44: The Controversy
In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun carries the tiredness of the day and lingers firmly in the sky. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The cacophony of elven tribes came far from the council hall.
These elves, who were originally noble and elegant and not good at quarrelling, you say a word to me, I don't know why, and the argument is red-faced.
"Mass build-up of underground creatures, impossible!" questioned High Priest Tracey. This is the depths of the Eastern Mountains, like the rainforest of Lao Hu's previous life, with heavy rainfall, nutrients stored on the branches and roots of plants, and relatively barren land, in her understanding, these so-called underground creatures have almost no reason to compete with the elves for territory.
"Tyrande led the scouts to investigate the attack, and he still hasn't woken up, the stakes are high, how can I lie?!" Illidan immediately retorted.
"Hmph, it's true that the attack was attacked, but you haven't come up with evidence of whether the underground creatures have reached the level of large-scale assembly!"
A group of "conservative" elders also chimed in, after all, Illidan's demand for all the guards was clearly not in their interests. Once put on alert, almost the vast majority of the power would be surrendered from their civilian elders to meet the needs of an urgent battle.
"The attack isn't proof, so wait until those damn reptiles come to the door?!" Illidan was furious at the irresponsible remark, he was genuinely concerned about the safety of the elves.
"I'm afraid that the underground creatures will come to the door to make a false mistake, and it is true to centralize power by means of urgent precautions!" said Elder Maris, who was in charge of managing the literature on the side.
To say that this Elder Maris is a staunch "conservative" supporter, his father was the minister in charge of literature in the era of Raphael Jones, the "Great Elf King", and he has been exposed to it since he was a child, and has a very high research on elven history, and also has a high reputation, in his opinion, too many coups are caused by wartime, some generals take advantage of the chaos to centralize power.
"It's not enough to master the Hunter's Hall, you still want to control the defense of the entire tribe?" In the eyes of Elder Maris, who valued his noble status the most, Illidan, who was born as a commoner, was the one he looked down on the most.
For a moment, Illidan was choked on this sentence, which could even reach a personal attack. In fact, he also suffered from the lack of conclusive evidence, and found that the two scouts assembled by the "underground creatures", one was trapped in the insect net and died extremely tragically, while the other also died heroically in the previous battle. In a sense, this incident can be regarded as a dead and unproven. Although he hadn't heard the scout's report firsthand, he trusted Tyrande's judgment.
Just when everyone thought that Illidan was going to burst out and warn Elder Maris with stern words, they saw that Illidan's body, which was trembling with anger, actually calmed down, fell to his knees with a "plop", and said calmly:
"If there is no fighting after this alert, I am willing to resign and remove me from all my positions and rights. ”
Illidan's words, although simple, contained a lot of information, on the one hand, he was willing to bet on this matter, he was willing to give up all rights if there was no invasion of "underground creatures", and on the other hand, he also showed his attitude that he would not give in to this matter.
Hearing this, seeing Illidan kneeling, the elders of the "Main Battle Faction" were in an uproar, led by Elder Brian, and they tried their best to dissuade them, after all, this was not just about Illidan's interests alone.
"Lord Illidan, think twice!" the other elders chimed in.
Illidan was unmoved, still kneeling there quietly, muttering to himself: "This is a matter of the safety of the elves, what is the personal benefit?!"
I have to say that in terms of the so-called national righteousness, Illidan has done almost perfectly, and even Lao Hu on the side was moved. It seems that every country and every nation has some such loyal figures, the kind of heroes who can give up their small families for everyone in the face of national crisis.
High Priestess Tracy bit her lip slightly, not knowing what she was thinking, as if she was struggling with her thoughts.
Seeing that everyone seemed to be impressed by Illidan's kneeling, Elder Maris was not as tough as just now, but he still insisted on his own concept, and then threw out such a sentence: "Facts are facts, there is no need to use such means to gain everyone's trust, adults need to come up with a convincing evidence to everyone" felt that it was not enough, and added a reminder to everyone:" After all, winter is coming, and the power of nature consumed by this emergency guard seems to be related to how our elves survive the increasingly cold winter of the Eastern Mountains!"
"I'm about to be wiped out by those big spiders, and I still care about heating in winter?!" Lao Hu scolded in his heart on the side, in fact, Lao Hu is a very easily touched person, even if he has a lot of new and old hatreds with Illidan, but Hu Yu still admires him very much for some aspects of his personality charm.
"This matter needs to be considered in the long run, I am going to ask High Priest Adele" I have to say that High Priest Tracey, as the current person who almost has the highest power, has done something extremely unconvincing. On the other hand, it is also unpopular among the "conservatives", because this is an excellent opportunity to directly remove the power of the representative of the other side.
"Please, you are now the complete High Priest, why do you want to ask?!" Elder Brian immediately objected when he saw Tracey High Priest say this.
In fact, High Priest Tracey is still a little younger than Adele. In the face of the safety of the elves, she was also undecided, although she didn't believe much in the low probability of the invasion of "underground creatures", but seeing Illidan's such a firm look, she was also a little shaken, "After all, it is related to the safety of the elves." ”
With a hesitant face, High Priest Tracy was about to open her mouth to say something, but was interrupted by a sentence from Lao Hu.
"What's the point of talking about these things? If you want evidence, won't you just have to give you evidence?" Lao Hu was really impatient to see, and this kind of nonsense similar to political struggle was extremely annoying.
Immediately afterwards, Hu Yu casually slapped half of the "Anubal Ambusher" limb on the table, and the time stagnation effect of "God's Space" made this big guy full of carapace still fresh.
The strange dark red carapace was extremely sharp, and in an instant, it made a few marks on the solid round table made of ironwood, and the elders who saw it for the first time seemed to be stunned, and no one said a word for a long time.
In fact, the hunter troops led by Illidan should also think of the so-called "evidence", but the rescue of the wounded was anxious, and the unconscious Tyrande was in an extremely dangerous state, and the concern was chaotic, and Illidan was also panicked for a while.
It can be regarded as a witty old Hu who has a heart, he has received a reminder from the godhead, the carapace stump of the "social alien scorpion" is an excellent alchemy material, drawing inferences from one another, so this seems to be a higher-grade material is not more precious? Lao Hu secretly picked up a few pieces of the most excellent and strongest "Anubal Ambush" limbs and threw them into the "God's Space" in case of emergency, but he did not expect it to come in handy at this moment.
No amount of verbal proof or assurance could compare to the intuitive impact of a stout "Anubal Ambusher" limb, and many elders immediately said that this terrible creature should indeed be guarded against as soon as possible. It seems that the problem that Illidan pondered was easily solved by Lao Hu.
cast a grateful look at Hu Yu, and Illidan was also very grateful for the help Lao Hu gave at this moment.
Rolling his eyes, "Lord Divine Envoy" Hu Yu waved his hand impatiently and said, "Okay, okay, hurry up and prepare for war, those dirty insects are not easy to mess with!"
Thinking about a few days ago, Lao Hu suffered a lot in the "social alien scorpion", as a person who must take revenge, Lao Hu will never let go of these opportunities to take revenge on the reptiles.
Although it was a little late, as the other protagonist of this battle, the elves who realized it later finally began to prepare for war.
