Chapter 266: Geopolitics
"If so many cavemen are entrenched in the south, why didn't they attack the Dawn Mountains?"
Liu Xiao asked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In other words, Liu Xiao's questions are always very sharp, giving people a feeling of hitting the point.
"That's naturally because of ......"
A herald was about to speak, but Ellie interrupted him.
The little guy pointed to another round table and patted me on the head.
So I picked up Liu Xiao and walked over with Ellie.
We were joined by Kyle and a few other elves.
Come to the round table, where a map of the world is drawn.
Surrounded by the sea, the land of Aurora World looks roughly an oval with a flat middle and pointed ends.
Overall, it's very similar to Australia.
The Dawn Mountains are just east of this continent, against the sea.
Elle said, pointing to the narrow forest strip southwest of the Dawn Mountains.
"Because the Treants of the Ancient Forest are extinct"
"Therefore the cavemen multiply unscrupulously in this fertile land"
Elle pointed to a ridge south of the Dawn Mountains.
"On this mountain range, there is a city of elves, Seganger"
The name is more familiar.
Anyway, did Mespier go here for a visit?
"The elves of the Dawn Mountains are subject to the Dawn Council and cannot learn magic that is too dangerous"
"Whatever is included must also be placed in the White Wooden Tower, and the elves who have been selected through layers can get their hands on it"
"And some elves don't like the system"
"So they left the Dawn Mountains and settled in the forests of the south."
"The city they built with great magic is Seganger"
With that, Ellie pointed to the huge black scar in the center of the continent.
"To the east of the Black Fire Mountains, there is a barbarian fortress, Karsta"
As she spoke, Elle stretched out her two hands and gestured to the map.
"It is precisely because of the sheer number of cavemen"
"On the contrary, it contributed to peace and friendship between the Dawn Mountains and Seganger and Kasta"
"Cavemen are numerous, but they are inferior creatures"
"Fearing the power of the Dawn Mountains, Seganger, and Kasta, they dare not invade any of these three places"
No wonder......
I've learned a lot.
Wang Yun told me about geopolitics that I didn't understand for a long time, and I really got a wonderful interpretation here.
With that, Ellie pointed to the middle ground between the Black Fire Mountains and the Dawn Mountains.
"So when the cavemen marched, they initially avoided any of us and chose to go north from the Black Fire Plateau."
Hey?
"Wait"
I found that if the cavemen went north from this corridor and then went to the wild canyon in the west of the continent, didn't they go around the entire circle of the Black Fire Mountains.
"Why don't they just pass it from here"
Ellie looked at where I was pointing, and her face hung uneasy.
"This mountain between the Ancient Forest and the Wild Canyon is called Perry Hill"
"The name wasn't taken by any of us"
"The name existed long before the elven race learned to write"
"This mountain is the territory of witches"
When I heard this, I shuddered.
Ellie's heart was filled with awe.
The original is passed from the soul link.
With Ellie's admiration, I can understand why these armies of cavemen don't want to pass through this area even if they die.
Far away, these witches can do anything, and the priority now is to figure out the situation on the border.
Let me see...... Below the Dawn Mountains is Seganger, and on the lower left is the Ancient Forest.
The troglodyte army that emerged from the forest made its way north through the corridor between the Dawn Mountains and the Blackfire Mountains.
It dawned on me that cavemen were taking a very high risk by choosing this route.
The plateau lacked shelter and strategic depth, and once it was attacked by the barbarians of the Black Fire Mountains and the elves of the Dawn Mountains, the consequences were simply devastating.
If the elves of Seganger took the initiative to block their way back to the Ancient Forest......
It's a natural encirclement.
"I seem to understand why Mespier is visiting Seganger"
Liu Xiao also took my words and asked.
"Are you allies with the barbarians?"
Ellie shook her head.
This reaction is quite regrettable.
"Most of the barbarians are not friendly, and the only one who keeps peace with us is the nearest fortress city, Karsta."
It is said that the one who helped Kong Yunlei infiltrate the Great Wall of Nuclear Power before was not the barbarians of Karsta.
Anyway, I still have a mission to spy on the Kastas.
"Let's fight for it, can we get in touch with the Kastas?"
I asked, looking up.
Everyone was silent for a few seconds.
"Difficult, but not entirely impossible"
A herald said.
"It's difficult because we have to go through an army of cavemen to get to the Black Fire Mountains, but we can use flying magic, so it's not completely impossible"
"Okay, can you send an envoy to contact the barbarians of Kasta as quickly as possible?"
Footsteps in heavy armor took a step forward.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, I am willing to go"
I looked back in surprise at the big elf in golden armor.
Kyle!?
Worthy of being the messenger trusted by the elven king Maispil, he is not ambiguous at all at the critical moment.
My previous negative impression of him was swept away all at once.
"Doesn't it matter?"
Ellie was also a little worried.
"Once out of the Great Enchantment, I can use remote door magic, and the caveman won't hurt me in the slightest."
"Moreover, I once visited Karsta with the Elven King of the Ancestors."
This is a more precious guarantee than anything else.
"Go ahead, remember, you are not a fighter, the important thing is to send the intel"
Ellie's tone became a little softer.
I hurriedly added.
"After you go, go to the defense line of the Stonestone family and let them find a way to establish contact with you with magic"
"Your visit to Kasta after that shows that now is a good opportunity to reduce the number of cavemen in one fell swoop, but we both have to attack together at the right time."
Kyle's eyes widened in surprise as he listened to me.
It made me panic.
"Do you think you can't convince these barbarians to send troops?"
"No"
Kyle shook his head.
"I thought you wanted to ask the Kastas for help in relieving the siege, but I didn't expect you to think about reducing the number of cavemen, do you want to attack?"
Indeed, in my heart, in the dark, I was always thinking about how to attack.
Kyle's cautious attitude reminded me.
This is not a game, but a real war, and every command will cause hundreds of elves to die on the front line.
What's more, now the Dawn Mountains have sent all those who can participate in the battle, and it is no exaggeration to say that the lives of the entire race are in the hands of the commander.
But......
At the critical moment, Ellie touched the top of my head with her hand.
A flaming warmth came from the palm of her hand.
I smiled at Ellie, then turned back to stare Kyle in the eye.
"We ...... Is it a weak race?"
One sentence contains all kinds of feelings in my heart.
Not just for Kyle, but for the elves.
It's more about questioning myself.
I...... Is it still the weak self of me?
Kyle seemed to be shaken in some way, and immediately turned into a sense of determination.
It could be seen from his face that this elf, who had been crushed by the situation, had regained his confidence again.
The big elf straightened up, and one could feel that his body was full of infinite power in his heavily armored elf body.
"I'm leaving"
Kyle's eyes sparkle and seem to light up the night outside.
"At the second sunrise, the Kastas will be on the front"
The elf's tone was so powerful that it instantly lifted my heart.
A wave of excitement rushed through my heart, and I couldn't calm down.
So I reached out and grabbed Kyle's large, stone-polished palm.
"Victory and glory belong to the Dawn Mountains"
