Chapter 150: A Disunited Army
The pre-war meeting, if it was more of a wet market, was a place where every lord or private group who came with troops turned it into a noisy place, with a constant stream of bargaining mixed with a great deal of insults and foul language. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Seeing the scene in front of her, Shilinya was very worried about the future war, the huge army was now mixed with too many personal grudges, and it was a good thing that they didn't fight before the war came.
It was only in this moment that Shilinya understood why Ulrik was always so cynical, and that living in such an environment would one day become the appearance of the high elf.
The High Elves love democracy.
The army that has now gathered in Ankitan has reached more than 90,000 people, and all the lords in the vicinity of Morris have brought their troops to Anjitan, seemingly protecting the faith but actually protecting their homeland - once Ankitan falls, their territory will inevitably be lost.
Everyone understands the truth of the cold lips and teeth, and it is only when the catastrophe is approaching that they can understand it more thoroughly.
"Parliament, democracy, this kind of democracy is not as good as dictatorship. The leisurely Ulrike said slowly, and it seemed that the other party was not used to the scene in front of him.
As a high elf, Ulrik is no longer the head of the Magic Guild, and the leader of that magic guild has died in the dark arrows of the Facelings.
Now, as Shilinya's direct mentor and advisor, he watched the meeting with a special mask - accompanying Shilinya and helping Shilinya answer all sorts of questions when necessary.
Shilinya didn't know who this man was at first, until she asked her mother and consulted various books.
The current High Elf regime, the Holy Star, was established after the overthrow of the original Elven Federation, and the overthrow of the old regime and the establishment of the new regime were completed by two people, these two people were the Komnenos family Mullepsius and the Ducas family Ulyanov.
Among them, Ulyanov is this Ulrik, but now the founder of this regime is a bit miserable, or the political means are not as good as his former comrade-in-arms Mu Lexius.
In order to consolidate the alliance between the two, Lexius first killed his wife, and then married Ulrik's sister, and through this marriage, the relationship between the two was strengthened like never before, and this intimate relationship was maintained until the establishment of the Holy Star.
A mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, unless a male tiger and a female tiger.
It's a pity that these two people are not the same male and female, and the conflict of political interests after the establishment of the regime made the two immediately turn against each other.
After a series of struggles, Ulrik ended in a crushing defeat, resulting in his current exile in the territory of the Empire, and constantly evading the pursuit of the High Elves' secret police.
After this struggle, Lexios once again resorted to his usual tactics - Ulrik's sister died in an accident, and then supported their son, an eight-year-old elf Shota, to inherit all of Ulrik's army, territory, and status.
This is equivalent to taking all of Ulrik's family property in disguise, and it is through this successful infighting that Mulexius completely grasps the Holy Star and begins to dominate the fate of the High Elves.
Under the leadership of Mullexus, the High Elves had risen again, and on the battlefield, their greatest achievement was to repel the attack of Emperor Eumoned, and to lead his army to approach Midur, forcing the then new emperor to cede a large island and a small continent to the coast.
The most famous recent achievement was the defeat of the Romani army in the west and the capture alive of the Rumi caliphate, only to return the poor caliph to his dynasty after castration.
How to say it, compared to Ulrique, a defeated dog, Mu Lexius is simply a dragon arrogant with the aura of the protagonist, and it would be more perfect if he didn't kill his wife twice.
Now that Lexios has married a female heiress of a high elf family, it seems that the other party wants to do it again.
It is precisely for this reason that the leader of this high elf has a title: killing (serving) relatives (sleeping) birds and beasts. Because in addition to killing his wife, he also likes to cuckold the patriarchs of various high elf families......
The life of this high elf is full of all kinds of surprises, but what impressed Shilinya the most was his appearance, and when she saw the portrait of the other party for the first time, Shilinya wondered if she had taken the wrong portrait - isn't this a girl!
After reading the experience of this legendary high elf, Shilinya understood that Ulrik was not here for no reason, and the opponent was really too strong.
Returning to reality, Shilinya found that the nobles present had not stopped from the noise, and Alicia, who was presiding over the meeting, turned a deaf ear, seemingly indifferent to what was in front of her.
"Your mother didn't even think about relying on these people for the war. Ulrik saw Shilinya's confusion and explained to the other party in time.
"Now it's just a matter of letting these people fully vent their contradictions at the meeting, rather than fighting on the battlefield at that time. I think your mother has already discussed a defense plan with a few core personnel, right?"
Nodding slightly, Shilinya responded to the other party's question, in fact, Shilinya was called to a secret room by Alicia last night, where the next plan has been prepared.
Last night there were very few people who attended the council, only Leander, Turis, Christina, the Grand General of the Kunalis, the bishop of the two churches, and Shilinya.
None of the lords who had arrived had known about this, and they were still arguing at the meeting about the future leaders of the war.
Although there are no king-level lords who have come here, there are three of them at the duke-level, and now they are fighting against time for the leadership of the army - because a real king is coming, and now they just want to take this position before that, and exclude their biggest rivals.
The meeting was so boring that Shilinya even wanted to sleep, but the environment was not suitable for sleeping.
And Ulrique's overseer on the side and Alicia's gaze that drifted here from time to time could not make her do such a rude thing.
Knock knock knock......
There was a knocking on the door of the venue, and faint voices sank into the noisy room, drowning in all sorts of grace or dirt, mockery or outright insults.
"Quiet. A soft voice echoed through the scene, and Alicia's voice seemed to have a special magical power, calming the irritable hearts of everyone present.
The effect of magic, as insiders Shilinya and Ulrik easily judged the mystery, and now the news that Alicia had replaced Nuleki was no secret, and a god was the biggest reliance on all the lords present to concentrate on arguing - no fear that Islevi would suddenly kill and behead.
"Come in. ”
The door slowly opened, and two teenagers in armor appeared in everyone's sight.
Shilinya recognized both of them, one was Laros of Cold Creek and the other was Bernie of Domonides, although the appearance of the two was very different, but the common characteristics of the two stimulated the eyes of everyone present - the stained blood covered in armor, and the black and reddened blood was undoubtedly the blood of the undead, the opponent of everyone present.
After a simple etiquette, the two finally cast their distracted gaze on everyone present.
The milky white light surrounded the two of them, and finally submerged into the bodies of the two, and when the light disappeared completely, the mental state of the two returned to normal, but the lingering haze still lingered between the eyebrows of the two.
"What the hell is going on at the front?" Alicia set her eyes on Bernie, and all the lords present also set their eyes on the young man.
Bernie's presence as the heir of Domonides is a sign that bad news is about to be unfolded.
"The Crusaders have been wiped out, and my father and the Duke of Alain have already died for God. ”
The worst finally came, and although everyone present was prepared, the news caused an uproar.
When she heard this news, Shilinya found that her feelings fluctuated violently, although they didn't get along for a long time, only a short two months, but this father's care for Shilinya was meticulous, although the relationship was not cultivated for a long time, but there was a qualitative change in a short time.
The few memories kept recalling in my mind, and the pain deepened in the memories of this scene.
Warm energy suddenly entered the body from the outside world, and Shilinya's excessive emotions slowly stabilized at this moment.
Calm, a spell that Shilinya is familiar with, is also a spell that has appeared very frequently recently.
And the one who cast this spell was Ulrik, who was sitting next to Shilinya, and the other party didn't want Shilinya to lose control of her emotions at this time, because as she was about to be crowned, it would give a bad impression to the lowly vassals.
"Laros, what about you?" the cold tone seemed to reach the room through the crack in the window, making everyone present feel uncomfortable.
"Cold Creek is lost, and the soldiers who fell in the last battle have risen again and become part of our enemies. Now they are heading here, but instead of rushing forward, they are moving slowly, and I think they will not be able to appear on the battlefield until the day after tomorrow at the earliest. ”
An even more serious and shocking news blew up the on-site meeting.
There will be a power outage in the whole school tomorrow, and it may not be updated until the evening......
