"Be careful of your back, the spider's fangs may appear behind you at any time."
This is a habit of the gray elf rangers who betrayed Rose when they parted. They reminded themselves and their companions in this way that Rose, who is extremely vengeful, can never forget the slightest hatred, and she may send dangerous minions to end it at any time. the lives of their own betrayers.
Although a relatively stable alliance has been formed, the underground world is still an underground world, and wars between them are unavoidable, but for some reason, the dark elf forces under Rose's command have not been very smooth recently.
Due to some inconvenient exchange of contracts on the bright side, Elul, the agent of the devil in the underground world, disappeared inexplicably. The more she came, the more stable Annie's underground hegemony position became.
Among the new four overlords, the Dragon Queen Ain Metheus, Fire Phoenix Anne, and Underground Orc Emperor Anlia have close personal relationships. Their strengths cooperate frequently, and the dark elf forces are squeezed out, intentionally or unintentionally. .
This is like market trade. If several large chambers of commerce occupy more than 70% of the market, and they have the pricing power to play monopoly prices, small merchants will easily go bankrupt, and the situation has developed to this point, when various The low-tax customs clearance agreement has been signed, and many commercial activities have begun to directly abandon the dark elf city and play by themselves, which obviously has a fatal blow to the economy of the dark elves.
If only this was the case, the dark elves would have already started to act.
"You won't sell me? I'll rob the head office. How dare you stop the trade? Believe it or not, I will kill your whole family tomorrow! We are dark elves, not charcoal heads with long ears!"
No one will take the threat of dark elves as a joke. As the few twisted races who regard looting and deception as virtues, the lower limit of dark elves has always been very low.
"The underground covenant was established for the peace of the underground world. Whoever initiates a war will become the public enemy of all parties in the covenant. The underground overlord is no exception! No, the underground overlord should abide by the peace agreement, otherwise, she will be attacked by other underground The overlord's hostility!"
If someone shouted this sentence a year ago, everyone would think that his brain was broken. When Annie, who has vaguely obtained the support of 70% of the forces, made this declaration, no one dared to put the so-called so-called The peace agreement is a joke.
Moreover, it is self-evident that the underground overlord is targeted, and some gray dwarves and underground dwarf cities who were forced to take refuge in the dark elves because of the threat of force, when they realize that the dark elves really dare not use force , and also seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change the flag and get rid of the harsh dark elf rule.
The economy, politics, and military were completely isolated by other forces, and the power of the dark elves naturally began to shrink in an all-round way. Even some dark elf cities that believed in other gods began to choose new superiors, and Rose's authority was fully challenged.
Faced with this situation, Rose naturally couldn't be in a good mood. Her illegitimate daughter of the goddess died inexplicably a few days ago, and a new agent has not yet been selected. In a blink of an eye, the dark elves have been suppressed again. Now, Even the sphere of influence and believers have been reduced, how can this be tolerated.
Due to the sharp decrease in the number of pan-believers, it had a direct impact on the divine power. In anger, Rose directly executed several big family mistresses, but the result was that the dark elf cities competed for the underground hegemony more fiercely. Incidentally, in the midst of a series of turmoil, Mistress Victoria of Menzoberran took a few steps and became one of the three most promising candidates for the summit.
Moreover, due to certain relationships in the past, if Rose finally chooses to coexist with other underground overlords, she must be the best candidate for Rose's highest priest. In this situation, she has become one of the dark elves. shining star.
Under this circumstance, after my letter was forwarded to Anne through Eliza, and then to Victoria through special contact information, even if it did not have my signature and imprint on it, it would not be of light weight.
Of course, Spider Queen Rose is famous for being cunning and greedy, and it is not an easy task to persuade her to switch to the camp.
"...If the gods of order finally won the holy war, and the existing elf gods will fall in this holy war, then, facing the future, the elven gods must also have a veteran elf god to calm down the scene, obviously you are the most suitable. candidate."
"Think about it, if you still stay on the side of Chaos, do you really plan to work with those guys who exiled you, do you think you can fight them alone? If they eventually take over, will you be exiled again, No, with the lesson from the last time, they will never leave a disaster, I think most of them are looking for a reason to let you fall out of the game."
The future elf master god, this is the verbal price I offered to Rose, staying in the Chaos camp will not be good whether you win or lose, it is the status quo that I analyzed for him.
I never tell lies, but it is these "truths" that more arouse Rose's suspicious vigilance.
"Also, I didn't expect you to raise the flag of rebellion directly. You see, aren't the current elf gods still on the side of order? Isn't it natural for you, the true god of chaos, to attack them, not to mention that you already have deep hatred and do not retaliate against them? It doesn't fit your character."
"And the situation is so chaotic right now, as long as you don't have a clear banner and position, you can make a second choice at any time. This is a great opportunity to take revenge without risk. If you miss it, it will be a pity for you. This is really a once-in-a-millennium, so if you miss this time, do you still have the confidence to wait until the next millennium?"
In the dark elf language, betrayal is a virtue, and Rose's virtues can be seen. This can be used as a slap in the face, and the success can also be used as the advice of the elf master god, which can naturally hit her heart.
And in order to increase the persuasiveness of the letter, at the end of the letter, I also added the divine marks of Ayer and the Sleepless.
With these two marks, it is equivalent to the proof of the two true gods of order, and one of them is the boss Ayer. I am afraid that in Rose's eyes, this letter has two grades, and it has directly become the order of the camp. Officially poached.
Well, in fact the gods of order don't know about it at all, just for convenience, Ayer has already given me full agency...
After receiving the letter, Rose did not make any statement, but the silence made me know that she was moved, and the fact that she appointed Victoria as the highest priest after hesitating, answered from one side.
But since Rose also took the initiative to enter the game, the next thing is not what I want to manage and can manage.
"Hmph, sooner or later you will have to pay it back. For the crimes the elves have committed in Sluwell, the dark elves will only do more. I don't believe that the backyard is on fire, and the army of elves can still fight humans. Go back and eat dogs. Bar."
But even so, my troubles are still not small.
"Filmer Caso is really a rare talent in the world to be able to lose his family at this level."
Not to mention the internal chaos caused by the long-term reckless disregard of government affairs, and because the orcs dispatched the main force to attack the Red Maple City, An Toun did not suffer any irresistible pressure after the sudden change of flag.
But when the royal financial advisor's state treasury statement and the military's strategic report were all brought in, I discovered that Sylvia had been defeated by Fimuel to the verge of bankruptcy.
"All newly built entertainment facilities are suspended, the royal garden project is forever sealed for me, all slaves are released as civilians, those beauties in the harem..."
Of course I want to say the words of a man's dream like "I accept the harem", but considering that I have a pretty good image in the eyes of the world, um, and the silver ring on my finger, I can only helplessly shook his head.
"All severance, the wealthy families are sent home directly, and the poor families act as hospital nurses, volunteers, tailors, etc., and let them support themselves. Nothing can be thrown into restaurants to wash dishes. Well, severance pay is sufficient, But talk to them, the royal family will not support them in the future."
In fact, these financial and state affairs problems can only be regarded as minor troubles. They are nothing more than the mess caused by Mr. Feimer who is currently drunk and does not care about anything, but the local lords within the country are very difficult to solve. problem.
In this feudal era where magic and swords are intertwined, the cruel living environment and the group of monsters make most ordinary people choose to live in relatively safe medium and large cities, and the inconvenience of transportation has led to the inconvenience of communication and transportation in various city-states. Perhaps the most realistic portrayal, it is not uncommon for the authority of the royal family to only spread over a few surrounding counties.
Of course, rights and obligations are often relative, and it is definitely not an easy task to protect one's own people from various natural and unnatural threats.
On their own territory, noble lords even have the right to speak and authority over the royal family. This is extremely common in this era. The royal family often turns a blind eye. The offense was clean, and even a few local nobles had already admitted that they did not take Fimuel in their eyes. There were several who hadn't entered the Antuen court for ten years, so it was really not a trivial matter.
"For a quite famous woman, he actually sent a guard to take away the lord's noble lady, and he was caught with evidence more than once or twice. This fellow was not overthrown by the rebellious lord. I'm really lucky."
In fact, if it wasn't for the sudden southward invasion of the orcs, there would be no shortage of lords who would meet to rebel within two years.
In the back of this rotten king's head, he is probably a demon who escaped from hell. Since he may be expelled back at any time, and since the wealth of this country is destined not to belong to him, then why not hurry up and enjoy it? As for whether he will What serious consequences? In his eyes, "I will manage the flood after my death", how could he have the slightest concern.
Sluwell's current situation is not only this, originally encountered this all-out war, the royal family should be in the lead, and the major lords should be called to organize a coalition to fight against it, but obviously the orcs have thoroughly understood the human system. There was no chance for Fimr to exercise his royal power.
But even if Fiml really fulfilled the kingship and issued a conquest order, it was a question of how many high lords responded.
Today, the main army of the royal family is divided into two parts. Most of the main army guarding the border is blocked in the now meaningless border fortress, while the guard and reserve army of the king city is only to deal with the siege of Antoun. It has been damaged a lot.
As for the legions of the lords, most of them were restrained by the orcs' scattered raid strategy into their own territory. The inaction of the royal family not only chilled the hearts of loyal and righteous people, but also made some people have some thoughts of their own. A certain lord raised an army to help the king's city, and it seemed like he was looking for a dead end.
And even if Fimuel has gone too far, even if I am only a temporary acting king now, it is still difficult to stabilize this position.
Even in the era of feudal lords with decentralized sovereignty, rebellion is still a technical task, and the orthodoxy of kingship is the bottom line in the hearts of all citizens. If it wasn't for the danger of life, Fimuel showed his demonic nature. If it wasn't for me I am a descendant of Lan, who is legally orthodox. I am afraid that I will take over An Tuen so easily.
But this is obviously a taboo, it is destined to not satisfy the lords, even I am not very satisfied with this situation.
"Today, I took this opportunity to take away the kingship of Sluwell. Don't Donglan and Shawen are descendants of Lan, and they will be taken away together at that time. If even the kingship of the royal family can be taken away, we lords rights are not a matter of words.”
Obviously, if this state is maintained for a long time, when the careerist's hat is buckled on my head, I will definitely receive a lot of taboos, and then my own blueprint will naturally be in vain.
Planning a blueprint? Well, I have a series of plans for the Northland, but I definitely don't take the throne myself, that is tantamount to tying myself to death, and it will also cause countless people to be on guard. The loss will definitely outweigh the gain.
"I need a member of the royal family of Sluwell, even if it is a puppet, it is much stronger than my direct proxy for the royal power."
But obviously, this has encountered a new problem. Like those kings who have been on the throne, Fimuel Caso has done too much. They are three brothers and sisters. The eldest crown prince is said to be killed by him, and the third family Also suffered "unfortunate", in a carriage accident all killed.
Now, even if I want to find a puppet to erect, I can't find a candidate.
But a sudden news shocked me.
"His Royal Highness the First Crown Prince once had a young daughter, Ge Lina. Before Feimer ascended the throne thirteen years ago, she was not found during the house raid. She should still be alive."
"The lamp of life?"
I couldn't help but think of the short sword with two bright pearls. The royal family of Sluwell should also have this kind of secret technique.
"Also, the lights were originally very dim, but from more than three months ago, the lights suddenly brightened, it seems that the princess has returned to the North, and if she really comes back for revenge, maybe she is already in this place at the moment. The city is incognito."
The words of the royal administrator shocked me, so I immediately issued a notice, but the knights on tour ran all over the city, shouting hoarse, but still no one took the initiative to stand up.
"If she's really in this city, she's afraid to come out because she has doubts about me. Whatever, let's find out the person first. Does she have any other characteristics?"
The old man frowned and pondered, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence.
"She was a little girl back then, so what are the characteristics? She's just an ordinary little girl who doesn't like to talk. By the way, she has two moles on her right chest and a mole on her left hip, which should be used as features!"
The moment I heard this, I covered my face, and I almost guessed what was going to happen next.
[Ding Ding, congratulations to the host for triggering the sudden mission - a well-liked welfare story, mission goal: find out Princess Grena, don't hesitate, she is within your reach. Quest reward: Since you can master this country through her, it is considered that the country of Lan has recovered a part of it again. Let Roland's Sword complete the first stage of the artifact evolution ahead of schedule. Mission failure: The evolution reward is permanently canceled, and the well-liked welfare story is transformed into the favorite Shura Field story.]
"Crack!" I slammed my fist on the table, this is really what I'm afraid of, this kind of reward and punishment, doesn't it force me to do my best!
"So are we going to take off all the 15- or 16-year-old girls' tops and skirts and examine their chests and buttocks? It's just so lossy, so vulgar, so elevating... ahem, so disrespectful. "
The old man smiled wryly and shook his head.
"Considering that in order to avoid the pursuit of the pseudo-king, she may make a disguise, and her age and gender are uncertain, and it is also possible to make up a cute boy."
I opened my mouth wide, and if I really ordered all the young girls and lovely boys to be stripped, I'm afraid I'd be entering the history books again - in the name of the King who surpassed Fimuel.
Finally, after thinking about it for a long time, I activated the contact effect on the ring, and then explained my ins and outs in a few words.
"...If you're going to order a strip, I'll pretend I don't know you from now on. Pervert master, why are you telling me all this mess, is this your new way of sexual harassment, or are you going to check me out first? "
I shook my head.
"No, I'm just asking you for help."
"For help? How can I help you with these things... oh, I see, you mean him?"
I nodded sadly, if possible, I don't want to find that person.
"Yes, we need the help of an expert, this is beyond my personal ability, let me know that expert."
"...I understand, but I suddenly feel that it is more appropriate to directly order the whole city to be naked. If that man is dispatched, maybe you will all be hung on the pillar of shame in history."
"Do you think so too? But alas, we have no choice, I've made up my mind... Give me, give me contact with that man, contact with Eero! We need the help of him and his comrades! Now Only a true gentleman can help us in this situation!"
