Chapter 1223: Goodbye Montaddy Consideration of the Water Element
Due to their common stance, Sarjan has a decent relationship with the Tide Hunter Neptulon and the Water Elemental in the Future.
In the current ancient age of Azeroth, the water elemental was still nominally subordinate to the Dark Empire and the Elder Gods.
Although they have secretly sent some positive signals to the Titan Guardians, except for Freya and Mimiron, who have been paying attention to them for a long time, the other Guardians on the front lines of the battlefield have not responded to this.
In the words of the barrage, this negotiation is still in a hot state of shaving your head for the time being.
Sarren didn't dare to guarantee that the water elemental who took the initiative to throw an olive branch but failed to get a kind response would not be annoyed, so he simply slapped it in two in a fit of anger and walked to the guillotine road like the other elements.
"Whoa!"
A huge splash erupted from the distant sea, and a giant water elemental of classic shape leaped out of the sea and descended onto the cliff on the shore under the watchful eyes of Salian and Valeera.
There was a slight change in Sarren's originally wary attitude: "This familiar elemental fluctuation ...... Montadi? β
"It's me, I've kept you two waiting."
To make it easier for the Sarians to identify, the water elemental changed its shape, returning to the kind of mimic faceless that the Sarians had seen before.
ββ¦β¦ I'd rather you use the primitive water elemental form, the Faceless Creature that grows that thing on its face, I really don't appreciate it. β
Valeera, who had already come over, understood the connotation in seconds, and stabbed Sarjan's waist with her elbow with a smile: "Let's get down to business, don't gag." β
The water element has no reproductive function, and Montadi obviously didn't understand the meaning of Sarren's words, and scratched his head a little confused: "Is this so?" Then I'll change my appearance. β
Salian has also said before that the form of water elements is very plastic, and they can change into any shape according to their needs.
The Hydrated Faceless disappeared, and after a wriggling current, Monttadi took the form of a Titan's creation, transforming into a bearded steel ...... Oh no, hydrate the Vikus.
Saljan spread his hands helplessly and said, "Don't be so serious, I'm just joking, you guys are ...... cough~ The water element doesn't know what a joke is? β
"Joke......" Montaddi's face showed a wry smile: "In this war-torn world, we need to do our best just to survive, where do we have the heart to joke." β
"Well, my bad, I didn't mean anything, I just wanted to liven up the atmosphere."
Sarjan sincerely apologized to the bitter Montadi: "Since you don't like to joke, then ...... Let's get straight to the point. β
Montadi nodded, "After I parted with you last time, I immediately returned to the Abyssal Throat to discuss it in detail with the Tide Hunter and other colleagues. β
"I'll start with the conclusion."
"The vast majority of the Water Elemental Lords, including our leader Nepturon, are tired of this endless war, and we want to live a peaceful and peaceful life."
Elemental creatures have many different habits from flesh creatures, but as creatures, they are the same as other creatures, at least in terms of one of the core goals of one type of classβto maintain the continuation of the population.
It is true that elemental beings do not have a reproductive system, but that does not mean that they cannot reproduce.
According to Montadi, elemental beings are usually born in two ways.
One is that by nature, after absorbing enough single element, Azeroth's natural rules will give birth to the lower elements with the lowest level of intelligence.
Most of the water elementals summoned by the Arcanists are such subordinate elements, they do not have the ability to think logically, and only act according to instinct.
In the same way, the earth and fire elements summoned by the shaman can also be applied to this theory.
Another way to reproduce is to require powerful high-level elements to divide their own power essence, like mitosis to create a new elemental individual.
The elemental creatures split in this way have a relatively high starting point, and they have a high level of intelligence when they are just "born", and their potential will be much higher than that of the lower elements.
However, just as a red dragon bestowing life blessings on others will cause a great loss of one's own vitality, a new individual split by a high-level element will not be able to recover its combat effectiveness for a long time.
Therefore, unless forced to do so, the high-level elements will not waste time and energy to reproduce in the war years when combat power is desperately needed.
This leads elemental creatures into a strange cycle of endless warfare.
The more combat power is needed, the more they will not be able to give birth to potential offspring, and they can only push those naturally raised cannon fodder to the front line in large numbers.
This is one of the main reasons why the Dark Empire was able to gain the upper hand in the early stages of the war, but it became softer and softer in the later period.
Because the output of high-quality troops cannot keep up with the consumption.
Compared to elemental creatures and ancient god-type flesh creatures, Titan creations that can be mass-produced in one click as long as they have mineral resources are cheaper, more cost-effective, and more efficient.
The barrage also deliberately made an analogy that Salian couldn't understand for this reason.
[It's like a small day and a bald eagle during the Pacific War.] γ
[In the early days, because of the aircraft and warships that had been hoarded over the years, they had some first-mover advantages. γ
[When the bald eagles realize the threat and fully mobilize their powerful industrial productive forces, the aircraft carrier will begin to make dumplings, and the defeat of the small days of resources and productivity will be a foregone conclusion. γ
[Don't understand? It doesn't matter, the war between the Titan Creation and the Dark Empire is almost identical, and you can directly compare it by changing the name. γ
For the Elder Gods, the tragic fate of Ashaji is still close at hand, and out of a strong desire to survive, they will fight to the end even if they have the last bit of resources.
However, the elements ...... At least the water elemental wasn't going to do everything it had for the Elder Gods.
After all, from the very beginning, elemental beings were forced to submit to the obscenity of the Dark Empire.
People with Stockholm syndrome like the fire elemental are only a special case, and the water elemental still holds a grudge against the ancient gods who forcibly enslaved them.
Seeing that the big ship that the Dark Empire was forced to jump on was about to sink, it was natural that Nepturon, who wanted to let his people recuperate, want to abandon the ship in advance and escape.
"I see......"
After listening to Montadi's description, Saram nodded thoughtfully: "In other words, the water elemental does want to get out of the vortex of war, but your active contact has not been able to get a positive response from the Titan Guardians. β
Montadi said helplessly: "That's it, the messenger sent by Nepturon didn't see the Great Guardian come to Deng, and as soon as he entered the control area of the Titan Creation Army, he was wiped out by those iron lumps without wisdom. β
"Hmm......" said Sarian with a wry smile, "although it will pour cold water on you, but ...... Even if your Messenger is able to meet Laiden, the final outcome will not change. β
Muntadi was stunned when he heard this, and muttered to himself in a bit of a daze: "Could it be that this war is destined to fight only to the last step of your life?" β
Salian hurriedly shook his head in denial of his pessimistic thoughts: "No, we have not been idle during the time you returned to the clan to try to convince the tide hunters. β
"Freya and Mimiron of the Titan Guardians agreed with my suggestion, and they were willing to do their best to convince the other colleagues to let it go...... At the very least, the punishment for the water element of voluntary surrender is reduced. β
"However, you also know that this long war has lasted too long, and the chains of hatred cannot be dissolved until the war is completely over."
"How effective can Mimiron and Freya's efforts become...... I don't dare to make promises. β
"Is that so...... Muntadi bowed his head and pondered for a moment before speaking again, "In accordance with the instructions of our lord Neptulon, we do not force full forgiveness from the Titan Guardians, as long as we allow the water elemental to maintain its current establishment as much as possible. β
"As you said earlier, the Titan Guardians intend to drive all the elements to the ...... Subplanes of the Elemental Realm? Can you elaborate on the situation in this so-called elemental realm? β
Sarjan scratched his head and said with some distress: "My understanding of the elemental world is only superficial. β
"First of all, once they are sealed to the Elemental Realm, it will be difficult for elemental beings to return to the material world."
"Secondly, the four elemental realms can be connected to each other, and I suggest that you make full preparations before retreating to the elemental realm, and deal with the aggression that the other three elements may launch against the water elemental realm at any time."
