Black Scepter Chapter 39: Coercion and compromise
>"Has the Kanzanas family been in contact with the Glass family?"
Minos walking on the hillside several kilometers away asked the old man in front of him.
"Have you? Haven't you? Actually it doesn't matter," Varian looked back and squeezed his eyes at his grandson, laughing at Minos with a funny expression, "Why don't you, the Icefield Wolf family It used to be a family that could rank among the first echelon of the mainland. As long as it once had this qualification, it must be connected to us. So understand it?"
"But this connection is not enough for you to help him, right?"
"Did I help him? I just scolded him for a bit."
"Loyal words, my father told me that from a young age."
Minos hey, "If you let me fight the assassin, it’s really tricky, his dagger"
"It's just a dagger."
The old man avoided this topic and pointed to the direction of the city of Sisrin in the distance. "Just rest here today. Tomorrow we may have a good show to watch. Of course, we may also go on stage ourselves. Circle."
Cityline.
Ashkandi, sitting in an armchair at the top of the tower, frowned suddenly, reaching for the sleeve of his left arm.
There are some changes in the pattern of the servant contract. As a contractor who has direct contact with Morpheus, what happened to the young man who was underground and suddenly increased in strength, Ashcandi was clear through the contract.
As the pain of Ashkandi’s trial at the heretical ruling was passed on to Morpheus, after a few days, it was clear that Ashcandi, who was in danger of Morpheus, did not move at all and still sat steadily. In the seat of this great consul.
Because the Hegel’s army is looming on the horizon in the distance.
A seemingly confrontation situation, but no one knows what kind of move Ashcandi will play-the Thousand Cavalry Regiment has arrived in Pas City, and then Pas City plus the original Thousand Cavalry and emergency collection The second conscription unit was enough to use the wall to fight against Hegel’s slightly larger army and even carry out surprise attacks, while the main city of West Sellin made a shrinking posture and passive defense.
Obviously, under the threat of the opponent’s long-range archers, Ashkandi was not in a hurry to let his few soldiers go to die, and the city of West Sellin was a refugee from the clearing of Wenli. This has led to a surge in population, but the food prepared in advance is enough to allow the entire city to survive this winter-and Hegel in the wild may not have such good luck.
Obviously, in the eyes of the onlookers, Ashcandi adopted a confrontation consumption tactic. Hegel, who learned the situation through scouting, thought so, but he hadn’t waited for his next decision. News of the attack on the two fronts of the city!
Obviously, the group of Ashcandy cavalry started her usual lightning tactics without hesitation upon arrival.
However, this time Hegel did not panic-as the saying goes, he ate a long grain of wisdom. After the army in the south of Erdos suffered a night raid, he immediately let the army attacking Pas at the fastest speed. Build fortifications, refuse horses, lighting, dig trenches in the periphery, camp on high terrain, etc., so if they are attacked, there is basically no fear of the number of Lampard territory troops that are not dominant, but this lord is watching Narrowing his eyes after the whole battle report.
Defeat.
Once again, his army failed and was forced to evacuate more than 20 kilometers backward. The number of people lost was more than 800, and the wounded were thousands!
What's going on?
Although Lampard’s army also suffered heavy casualties, the Hegel army, which is well prepared for the terrain advantage, should not be so war-loss ratio-the most unacceptable is the entire The battle takes place during the day, and there is no so-called fog to do the blinding method, the archer has a wide field of vision, and there is no error in all combat conditions.
The only difference is that the arrows of nearly a thousand long archers suddenly lost their accurate heads.
The proud long-range attack was instantly weakened, and the longbowmen’s arrows were thrown collectively. They should have hit the 300-meter cavalry team with a line of suicide assault, but after flying 100 meters, they used incredible arrows. Quickly fell within 450 meters away!
That is to say, the arrows that were originally shot basically fell behind the offensive cavalry!
Next, it was the cavalry who broke through the seemingly unbreakable line of defense with a brave charge, which led to a bitter battle between the two sides-but because of the existence of five high-level Archmage in the Lampard army, The morale of the territorial defenders under Ashkandi was always high, and eventually won a victory.
"What's the problem with the longbowman again?"
It’s still an offensive, and it’s still a head-on attack that allows the opponent to smash their teeth and swallow. The Ashcandi’s strategic style is too violent. Obviously, the enemy’s army is actively attacking the situation, but it first wins the next 20%. What else will come down?
Hegel remembered Varian’s words before he left—as a lord, was he really willing to fight for the emperor of Barrich?
"Stay unarmed and stand by."
He originally intended to order the offense to change his attention, and he didn’t even go to say hello to the special assassin.
The second layer of the underground world, in the forest just a few kilometers away from the refuge valley, the herd regained its previous order after the inexplicable violent fluctuations. Even if the number of deaths is extremely large, it does not affect the rest. Of the Warcraft are still active in the forest. Seven elf tribes have lost their elders, but they have not lost their order. Krenze, as the first elf to show his friendship with Sunderland, is now responsible for temporarily organizing the evacuation of elves. .
"It seems to your ethnic group that you are a hero?"
Sunderland was surprised that these elves were very obedient to Krenze's orders.
"Heroes are not necessarily braver than others, they are usually only brave for more than five minutes."
Krenze smiled. He was left alone by the elders. He once led away the beasts that might have trampled on the four villages. This experience is known to all night elves and spreads to beautiful talks. The hero of a thousand people was eventually abandoned by the elders. What's the reason?
It’s funny to say that on the day Kronze was born, the glowing fluorescent insects on the second floor of the underground world actually formed a circular pattern-the elf is not a human, even if it is imprisoned underground For thousands of years, the inheritance of knowledge has continued because of their long lifespan. The scene of Krenzejan’s birthday was unanimously regarded as an ominous sign by several elders who had witnessed the real sky, but this is not the whole reason. The views and opinions of Lenzer who were in disagreement with the elders in adulthood led to the main reason why those in power abandoned Krenzer.
Even if Krenzer is capable and capable of dominating the same class, his political opinions differ from those of the older generation of diehards. This has already determined what real power and excessive influence he cannot have.
Among the night elves, the "first generation" who have seen the sky have few left except the seven elders, but this accident completely wiped out the old antiques who have witnessed the sinister and magnificent world on earth Kill as many as possible-the old law-orderers disappeared completely, how do the elves who lived underground from birth choose the next path?
"You will be a good leader."
Sunderland had a chance to chat with Krenze, and the night elf’s ethnic fighting ability was not weak. Although he was from an academic school, he knew that most of the night elves’ arrows were in the battle just now. Even over a distance of more than 300 meters, they can accurately hit the target. Although the number of these elves is not large, if used properly, they should be a good source of resources for their territory.
Clearly Morpheus holding Sulfuras scepter, he already clearly understood what his duties are-there is no conflict between being a rigorous magician and being a lord’s magic advisor. Studying on the art of power, he has simply put himself in the position of Lord Lampard.
Pursue power? That's the politician's business, and Sunderland pursues "truth."
Krenze did not immediately let the night elves from the seven villages disperse. Instead, he carefully dispatched several investigative teams familiar with the village to ensure that the herd’s trajectory returned to normal. Sunderland is exactly the same.
"Is there really "sky" above the ground? Are there rivers and countless plants that are indescribable in area?"
After scheduling the task, Krenzer, who was not busy, suddenly asked Sunderland.
"I am curious, has anyone tried to return to the surface?"
"The Brest guys don't want someone to spread wild on their site."
Krenze smiled bitterly and pointed to the top of his head. "Even if they can never find the entrance to this world, they don't have to worry about the elves who didn't come to the door."
"For food?"
"For the sake of reproduction, or for the sake of persistence." Krenzer shrugged. "Brest is sitting on the first level of food resources. The elves cannot survive on the only edible mushroom here. The food elves often go back and forth, which makes the fear of the vampires even more serious. Of course, everyone thinks that the Brest family is too terrible, so we can’t break through their defenses, but I have tried Tell them—it’s not that the enemy’s horror has trapped us, but that we have no more will to try to resist in our minds.”
"Slavery of thought."
Krenze pointed to his head and said bluntly, "The old guys who told us that there was another world out there imprisoned us with their knowledge and intimidation, which in my opinion is a shame Coercion is a compromise on fate."
"Resisted?"
"It seems that this is the difference between us and you. To be honest, if we will revolt easily, it may not be the old bats who live in the first-tier world."
Sunderland strongly agrees with Krenze’s point of view. The compromise of thought is always more terrible than the slackness. The reason why humans can make progress and dominate the mainland ~ IndoMTL.com Numerous fights for interests and the wars it brought.
However, in this short silence, the conversation between the two was interrupted by a sudden word--
"What the Brest family guards is not simple."
Although this temporary camp is rudimentary, Sunderland and Krenze, as the core characters of the elven village and the expedition, naturally have several elite guards around them, not to mention the high-level Archmage that releases the reconnaissance at five times.
But when the familiar voice of Morpheus came, no one could perceive how he appeared.
Sunderland is even included.
(The hospital’s examination results are okay, there are no major problems, and I am most afraid of physical problems when writing, so I am very careful not to let myself go wrong. From March 11 to the present, I have not broken it yet. I hope to keep it up. There have been fewer outbreaks in recent days, because returning to my parents to help, my wife’s birthday and classmates’ meetings are more time-consuming. I will update as much as possible during the Mid-Autumn National Day. The author of the blog post has no holidays, sometimes If you are in a bad state, you will have to keep going. Every line requires perseverance, and this line is the same, thank you for your understanding.)
