Chapter 196: Counting is Counting
The elven race has been a royal race since ancient times, because the elf king of the Akatsuki War a hundred years ago was not long in life, and the little princess was young, so the elf king set up an elder's council to maintain the normal operation of the elf power center.
After Rowling accepted the Elven King's inheritance, Rowling's heart was already painful for what the Presbyterian Council had done, so she revoked the Elder's Church and let all rights go to the Elven King again.
After this incident, the thoughts of the elven human race have been unified, and they have unconditionally supported and implemented any orders issued by the elf king.
In this atmosphere, the efficiency of the elf race can be said to have changed dramatically, and every elf face is no longer lifeless, but there is an inexplicable light in his eyes.
Especially when you look at the Elven Tower, that light will become more and more shining, and that sense of worship and happiness has not appeared on the faces of the Elves for a hundred years.
At this moment, in the Tower of Elves, Xiao Qiang and Rowling are discussing something, saying that they are discussing, but in fact, it is only Xiao Qiang talking, and the other two are listening from beginning to end, and they do not ask any questions during the period.
But the expression on the face of the second daughter was a little strange, and every time she looked at Xiao Qiang, there was a sense of disbelief, it felt like she had discovered a new continent.
"That's my plan, do you guys have any questions?"
When Xiao Qiang slowly said his plan, Rowling fell into a look of thought, and after recalling what the other party had just said, she asked with some puzzlement.
"Xiaoqiang, you just said that this war will end soon, I don't understand?"
Xiaoqiang explained.
"Actually, before I got the news that the eldest prince and the yin prince were leading troops to fight at the same time, I didn't have such an idea, but after getting the news, I can conclude in my heart that this war will end in less than a month, and the reason is very simple, two people who have their own goals and are opposed to each other, do you think they will have one mind, they will definitely calculate each other."
"I've thought about what you said, but they are both princes of the Chiyan Empire, would they stumble each other for their own selfish interests?"
Xiaoqiang laughed, "People are the same, they can do anything for the right, and what we have to do is to use what they think, these days I have found a phenomenon, every early morning the forest will be foggy, we can just take advantage of this favorable condition to rub their sharpness." ”
Rowling asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
Xiao Qiang smiled and said instead of answering.
"You go and pick some capable elven warriors, you don't need too many people, as long as you are quick and good at shadow hiding, you are looking for some horns, and when the time comes, I will naturally give you the answer."
For the trust in Xiaoqiang in her heart, Rowling didn't ask too much, and instead began to handle the personnel and materials that Xiaoqiang needed.
On the human side, on the other hand, after two days of rapid marching, the teams of the Yin Prince and the Great Prince also came to the edge of the Elven Forest one after another.
In order to be able to capture the Elven City as soon as possible, the eldest prince did not let the soldiers rest and enter as soon as possible, but the strange thing is that the army of the Yin Prince did not enter immediately, but camped on the edge of the Elven Forest, and it seemed that he did not intend to enter.
This situation reached the ears of the eldest prince, which made him quite curious, so he called the Marquis Byron to ask the other party's opinion, and Byron gave a fairly simple answer.
"Your Highness, the purpose of the sixth prince is also simple, he just wants me to be a vanguard, and wait for half of the battle to reap the benefits."
The eldest prince asked with some concern when he heard this.
"Then what should we do, we can't let them be the yellow finch!"
The Marquis of Byron laughed.
"Your Highness, don't be impatient, our people have secretly made contact with the Tshuishui Mercenary Group, Captain Situ has agreed to cooperate with us, as long as we meet with it, with our current strength, plus the mercenaries integrated by the Zhashui Mercenary Group, it is only a matter of time before we capture the Elven City, if Your Highness is worried that the Six Princes will take the opportunity to make trouble, we can let the mercenaries attack, as long as they are tempted by gold coins, those people are all outlaws who want money and don't want to die."
Seeing that Byron had already prepared, the worry in the eldest prince's heart slowly subsided and sighed.
"With the Marquis by my side, why should I not be able to capture the Elven City."
Byron modestly said, "It's all about what I'm supposed to do." ”
Seeing that the other party was not impatient, modest and respectful, the eldest prince immediately threw out the temptation.
"Very good, you should also understand what this attack on the Elven City means to me, as long as it can be successful, that throne will definitely be in my pocket, and when the time comes, when I ascend to the throne, I will definitely not treat you badly."
Hearing this, Byron's expression immediately became excited, and he complimented.
"Thank you for your grace, I, Byron, will definitely look forward to His Highness."
"Well, very good, you give the order, you must rush to the station of the Zhashui Mercenary Group tonight, and I will personally meet with that Situ Regiment Leader when the time comes."
After having a plan, the eldest prince's army increased again, and the eldest prince himself was full of confidence, and his eyes were full of excitement, obviously his mind was already fantasizing about the scene after the victory of the war.
Unlike the eldest prince, the Yin prince at this moment seemed extremely calm, and there was no trace of anxiety on his face.
Slowly tasted the fragrant tea in the cup, and when the fragrance of tea slowly spit out along his mouth and nose, the Yin Prince looked at the dry bone master beside him.
"Master, what do you think of my plan?"
Dry Bone smiled, "The eldest prince would never have thought that the elven clan was already in our pocket, and I also agreed with His Highness's plan." ”
The Yin Prince's face showed a faint look of joy and said slowly.
"With the elves in hand, that position will definitely not escape from my palm, but, before the matter ends, we still need to be cautious, master, you immediately send a message to that woman, so that she can be on guard."
The Dry Bone Master nodded, and then went to deliver the message according to the Yin Prince's orders, and the Yin Prince himself fell into thought again.
A rapid march is an extremely physically demanding thing for soldiers, and it is better to say that it is better to walk for half a day, after all, the training of these people on weekdays is only thirty or forty miles.
But today, because the eldest prince was in a hurry to break through the elven city, the army walked for a whole day, and as night gradually fell, the soldiers were exhausted, and some even cursed the eldest prince's ignorance in private.
But this kind of talk is only a private complaint of the soldiers, and they dare not really express it.
In this atmosphere, the marching speed was getting slower and slower, until the early hours of the morning, they did not walk to the vicinity of the Tshuishui mercenary group as required, but because of the foggy forest, they could not see the road in front of them clearly, and some soldiers who had exhausted their physical strength were even lost with the large army, and they were at a loss in the forest.
The eldest prince also heard the report of his subordinates, and his subordinates even suggested that they stop and rest immediately, but after glancing at the location on the map, the eldest prince found that his location was not far from the Tshuishui mercenary group, so he did not follow the advice of his subordinates.
