"So that's it." After hearing Allen Duo's words, Ryan felt a little regretful in his heart. If he had known that this would be the case in the future, he could have set off a few days later. At least he could have met the extra time at the first time. Meeting Teacher Libu made Ryan very envious of the ancient black dragon who could freely use prophecy magic. However, Ryan also knew himself. If he used it once or twice at a critical moment in his life, he could still withstand the loss. But if you develop a dependence on this method of predicting the future, even a few times your lifespan will not be wasted.
At this time, Ghalib's voice came from the magic image: "Ryan, it seems that you have provoked a new enemy. The last time it was the undead army, and this time it turned out to be a giant more than ten meters tall. I have no doubt about it. The fact that you can win in frontal combat, but have you noticed that although your own strength has improved crazily, it has not been of much help to the friends and subordinates around you. However, you are still very concerned about it. Emotions are unknowingly bound by these things, and I'm worried that this will become your most fatal flaw."
Ghalib's words made the excited Ryan suddenly freeze on the spot, and then he fell into deep thought. Although those words were a bit unpleasant, they did point out Ryan's biggest problem now, which is the problem on his shoulders. The responsibilities she bears are not commensurate with the power she possesses. With the power of Mother Herest, as the demigod king of the dark elves, she is naturally obliged to protect the entire dark elf race, but this does not mean that she must The strength of one person can support the safety of the entire race. There are enough strong people among the dark elves for him to use, such as Aledia and other field-level strong people, as well as many legendary peak subordinates under them. These legendary strong people also have their own The forces of the entire dark elves have formed a powerful force. As the top existence among the entire dark elves, Matron Herest only needs to face those demigod kings of the same level as herself.
Although Ryan is barely halfway to the realm of becoming a god in terms of strength, and seems to be on par with Matron Hester and Prince Mozatzfiler, there are not many trustworthy and powerful people around Ryan. At the same time, despite the fact that Ryan has many allies, in fact, the only direct lineage that truly belongs to him is the area of Cassano, plus the otherworldly Horudian family, which is barely considered a medium-strength family, and most of the land in the human world And the population, the Naga Empire in the underwater world, as well as the elves, dwarves, etc. can only be regarded as allies, rather than all loyal subordinates centered on Ryan.
There are also different power camps among the subordinates of Matron Herest, and they also have a competitive and even hostile relationship with each other. But as long as Matron Herest says a word, these dark elves will unite and fight for Heriot. In contrast, Ryan can only be regarded as the strongest person in the entire alliance system, and he has no real control over the entire force based on the Six-Party Alliance. Prestige and power, but Ryan's character makes him shoulder the responsibility of protecting all allies. This is of course not fair to Ryan.
If you were an ambitious person or someone who was proficient in maneuvering, you could certainly take advantage of the opportunity to do something to reverse the fate of Sunchang within the alliance, thereby quickly integrating the power of all allies and making them available for your own use. Unfortunately, Ryan is really not interested in politics, so In his current position, he can only be restrained but can hardly produce any help. It is also easy for Lane's enemies to use these problems to set up terrible traps to deal with Lane. The last time Catherine led a team to sneak attack Cassano's Iron Fist Castle, this When the Titans laid a trap to besiege Ryan and attacked New Elmida City at the same time, it explained everything.
Compared to Lane, who was relatively simple, Ghalib, who had thousands of years of experience, of course discovered this problem immediately, so he pointed it out in front of Lane without hesitation. In fact, in Ghalib's view, Ryan's current approach is not correct. If he chooses a method that is most in line with Ryan's interests, he should use a place like the Floating City as his home city and stay outside the so-called Six-Party Alliance. In this way, Ryan will become a person with sufficient strength. And a neutral strongman who is not hindered by anything. No one is willing to provoke such a being easily, because once a conflict breaks out between the two parties, Ryan, who has no worries, can act as he pleases, and the other party cannot even find someone to retaliate or threaten, even if Even if he wanted to compromise, he couldn't come up with any countermeasures. Unfortunately, Ryan wasn't cruel enough to abandon his companions, so Ghalib didn't say anything.
By the time Ryan came back to his senses from his thoughts, the magic image had long ended, and Ryan, who had stood up, did not know when he sat back on the chair. He looked at his wife, Faras, who was sitting opposite him. She put on a smile on her face and prepared to comfort the other party, but Faras suddenly said: "When the current matter is over, take my father to live in the floating city. Anyway, it's almost time for Harold to take charge. Then we take this opportunity to hand over power step by step and avoid unnecessary trouble in the future."
As soon as Ryan heard these words, he knew that Faras had understood what Teacher Ghalib had just said. He was very grateful that his wife was on his side, but he did not agree with her choice to give in. Of course, Ryan was also very happy. Knowing that Faras may not really make such a meaningless choice, she should use this statement to show her attitude of always supporting Ryan, so Ryan shook his head and said to Faras: "Fani, I understand you I mean, but I believe you also know that there is no point in doing so. Luke's father can leave, but what about Orlando's brother-in-law
After hearing this, Faras could only smile bitterly and say nothing. After Luke survived the catastrophe that year, he might be able to give up his power openly, but his power to control the imperial capital must rely on many loyal subordinates. In any case, It is impossible to leave them alone and abandon them. These subordinates also have their own assistants and relatives. Is there a big migration? Even if Luke's subordinates all move to the floating city, what will happen to the forces in other areas that are close to Ryan? Not to mention anything else, almost 90% of the elves and dwarves in Cassano would choose to live in the floating city, not counting Moonlight City, Free Paradise, Sea Breeze City, etc. who would like to lean on Ryan or hope to follow in the footsteps of the strong. If the number of these people is added together, even if Lane's floating city is expanded a hundred times, it will not be able to accommodate so many residents.
Even if Ryan's strength expands without limit and takes away these people, the existence of the floating city itself is already a flaw, and it is a flaw made by Ryan himself, because it contains all the characters that Ryan cannot give up. , as long as it can be firmly controlled, even if Ryan wants to not surrender, he can only choose to compromise. Such a result would be worse than not migrating. Besides, when others are gone, holy knights like Orlando will definitely not leave the little king. Harold, once the Royal Knights fight a powerful enemy and Ryan learns the news, it is impossible for him to sit idly by and ignore it. As long as Ryan's enemies are more clever in their arrangements, Ryan will fall into the situation he is today. A dilemma, and that situation would definitely embarrass Ryan even more than today.
"Okay, this matter is very troublesome, so let's not think about it for now." Ryan waved his hand, as if he wanted to put this depressing matter behind him, and then Ryan continued: "Look back Come to think of it, I should have vaguely thought of this when I agreed to a truce with Pampalius, but I didn’t see it as clearly as Teacher Jialib. I plan to make some reasonable decisions against the Titans. Concession in exchange for us no longer getting involved in disputes in other worlds in a short period of time. If possible, Fani, I am going to return to Cassano. We have been out for too long and it is necessary to go back and take a good rest. The expedition of the Six-Party Alliance The army has been out for a long time. It’s time to withdraw the troops. Of course, this does not mean giving in. My idea is to rotate and fight the undead army on other people’s lands to cultivate more troops and strong men. With that The teleportation magic circle technology, plus the minerals from the Netherworld region, I can still afford the price."
"Next, our steps should be bigger. The reception and development of the Netherworld should be accelerated. The other world should also send some troops or mercenary groups composed of the Six-Party Alliance to let them know the situation here. This is both a kind of Exercise is also a warning. We humans are so mean. When there are no external enemies, we always like to point the finger at the companions around us. If we don’t arrange an environment for them to share the same hatred and the same enemy, maybe I, a strong person in this field, will not be able to convince them when I go back. There are always some people. I can't see clearly the situation in front of me, and I think that I can achieve my goal by using some conspiracy and trickery. Huh, I'm not the holy knight who hasn't even crossed the legendary realm... "
After Ryan finished his last words, Faras was stunned for a second, and then a smile appeared on her face. She knew very well that what Ryan was referring to was the man who created the Holy Alliance Empire, but it turned out that he died shortly after his death. Fernando I was succeeded by the self-destructed fortress. Although humans only have a lifespan of a hundred years, as long as they enter the legendary realm, they can get rid of the restrictions of race and greatly extend their lifespan. And the Lane couple have now reached the realm of realm. As long as they are not attacked by strong enemies, Killing, and releasing some prophetic magic day and night, it is absolutely no problem to live for thousands of years. Ryan's words obviously showed that he had made up his mind, which naturally made Faras, his wife, happy.
