221: Turning enemies into friends
After listening to Elrens's words, Attila was speechless for a moment. He was right, although the warriors of the Golden Horde were well-trained and fearless to death, their biggest drawback was the lack of top powerhouses, which was related to the relatively weak cultural accumulation ability of the nomads. In addition, the domestic terrain is dominated by endless grasslands, and there is no defensive advantage. Such shortcomings determined that the Golden Horde was very passive on the battlefield, and the competition with the HRE army could only be fought and run, but the problem was that the settlement life over the past hundred years had made them build many important cities, not that they could run immediately......
The eldest prince frowned and thought for a while, and finally could only say: "Our country is located on the edge of the endless grassland, if there is really no way, we can also give up the existing territory and migrate to the depths of the grassland, and return to the place where our ancestors lived!"
When Attila said this, even he felt that he was not confident. Ellens shook his head with a smile and said: "There are already different tribes on the steppe that have divided their spheres of influence, where is there still a foothold for you? Besides, if life on the steppe is good, why did your ancestors migrate from it to the current place? I can say with certainty that if you mention that you want to go back now, you don't have to wait for the HRE army to come, your own subordinates will drive you down first!"
Attila sighed and frowned, "According to what you say, we can only continue to be their vassals, and we will never be able to raise our heads and be human beings?"
"Of course not!" Elrens said in a resolute voice, staring into the prince's eyes, "so I'm here to save your life!"
The eldest prince smiled bitterly: "Save my life? At this time, I am afraid that it is too late to run away, where can I help us?!"
Elrens shook his head: "You're wrong to think so, Pera is at a disadvantage at the moment. But only temporarily. In fact, the shape of war has now slowly changed. Since the battle of Mount Ajid, the main force of the HRE has suffered heavy losses, and it is impossible to stop the main force of Pera from successfully breaking through the encirclement, and the next step will be to join forces with the reinforcements of the southern city-states and garrison the Thermopylae Pass fortress. The area guards the north-south communication arteries of the Balkan continent, and the terrain is extremely steep with high mountains and dense forests. And the fortress has been built for many years, and it is extremely strong, and it is impossible to break through without a hundred times the number of troops! Reinforcements of various materials and troops are available at any time, and it can be said that the Pera army will definitely be able to gain a foothold here and reorganize. ”
Attila nodded and did not speak, and the dragon continued, "As for the Holy Rome and Nicaea, they need to divide their forces and garrison them in Pera. The forces that can be concentrated in the direction of Hot Springs Pass will inevitably decline further. And the rainy season in the south of the Balkan continent is approaching. At that time, the mountainous area was extremely humid, full of mud swamps, and the water was several meters deep overnight, snakes, insects and other poisons were running everywhere, coupled with the elongation of the battle line, the difficulty of transporting supplies, and the loss of the protracted war was huge. If they want to storm the city in such an environment, it is conceivable that they will fail......"
After listening to Elrens' words, Attila fell into deep thought. It took him a while before he had to admit, "You're right. As long as Pella's main force broke out of the encirclement, he did take the initiative. Unless the Holy Romans and Nicaeans were willing to spit out the vast tracts of land they had invaded and return to the army to hold on to Upper Macedonia and Seraz. But they had to sacrifice so much to finally defeat Pera, how could they give up lightly, they would surely continue to go south until they suffered heavy losses again, and finally understood that victory was hopeless. ”
"That's right!" the dragon nodded, smiling, "It's foolish to ally with the loser, and since you also know that the final victory must belong to Pella, why don't you turn to us instead?"
Attila looked at Elrens and said hesitantly: "Your mention is indeed good, and I am also very sincere in cooperating with your country, but the matter of the alliance between the two sides is not trivial, I wonder if you can make a decision on behalf of Pera with full powers."
"You can rest assured of this!" Elrens confidently took out a glittering magic metal crest from the spatial ring and handed it to the eldest prince: "This is the badge representing the plenipotentiary envoy of the Ajid family of the royal family of Pera, you should have heard of it, right?"
The eldest prince took the coat of arms suspiciously, took it in his hand and looked at it over and over for a while. This magic object is about the size of half a palm, and it is surrounded by intricate and ornate patterns, and the workmanship is extremely exquisite, and there is a magic power flowing on the face, and it makes people feel relaxed and happy to hold it in the hand, and it is not an extraordinary thing at first glance! In the center is also inlaid with a sun-shaped magic gem that emits a soft light, and Attila has also seen this spell pattern, and knows that it is the symbol of the Ajid family.
With this coat of arms, Attila could assume that the mysterious black dragon was indeed an envoy sent by Pera, but it would be too childish to agree to an alliance between the two sides. In case the other party turns his face and denies people after using the Golden Horde, where can he reason with this thing alone?!
Seeing that the eldest prince was holding the coat of arms and turning it over and over, still with a hesitant expression, Elrens reminded with a smile: "Your Highness, try to gently press the sun gem in the middle." ”
Attila glanced at him, and reached out in confusion and gently pressed it against the center of the coat of arms, injecting a hint of magic at the same time. Almost immediately, the coat of arms reacted. I saw a soft light emerge from the sun-shaped magic gem, and soon converged into a human half-body light and shadow in the sky! Her skin is smooth and delicate, her long blonde hair is tied into a delicate ponytail and hangs down the back of her head, revealing a delicate and ruddy face, a pair of sword eyebrows as straight as a knife, large, bright eyes, and sexy and charming fiery cherry lips, and she wears a black one-piece tight flight jacket with magic light armor in key parts. The two towering snowy peaks on the chest stand proudly and proudly under the tights. At first glance, it gives people the feeling of being heroic and energetic, and it is extremely tempting to the opposite sex!
