"The abyss outside is glaring at the tigers, the hostility of the order camp, and even people within the Lan Alliance are splitting, internal and external troubles, and dire straits. Can this situation be any worse... No, I can't say this, according to my experience, every time I say it 'Can it get any worse/unlucky', fate can really make it worse for you."
Although I was full of sighs, I was only habitually complaining. In my past memory, it was normal for this broken ship with "holes everywhere" to be intrigued and to move forward reluctantly.
The kind of situation where everyone shouts "Unity" and "Forge ahead", regardless of personal gains and losses, and the courage to sacrifice wisdom and vision, only exists in epic fairy tales. If this situation is really found, I will first The first reaction would be to slap himself to see if he accidentally hit the enemy's illusion.
The reality in my memory is often that people are playing with their own calculus, and even when fighting against foreign enemies, they will intrigue with their superiors and subordinates, complaining about too little wages and too much work, while reluctantly working in the common interests. Advance under command.
It was not the same in Sulphur Mountain City back then. It was a site we built with our own hands. The foundation was solid enough. It can be said to be a rare paradise in the underground world, but there was still a lot of fun inside. The parliamentary faction and the judicial faction were hostile to each other. When the underground overlord threatened, a large number of citizens and officials turned to the enemy, and the parliament, one of the cores of power, even rebelled collectively... Forget it, let's not mention it, I like the knights and the army, and appreciate the loyalty and justice of the knights. One reason is because they are relatively simple, at least in the face of this cruel era, they must be simple.
The moon elves are not fools, they are just used to treating other races as fools. They are causing trouble for us at this time because they see the general trend and know that the Northland Elf Empire is about to be built at this time. Shaking the minds of the elf and the people has a great impact, so, seize this opportunity, put forward a series of excessive demands, expecting to gain benefits on the battlefield at the negotiating table.
It was as they wished, what else is there in the Northland Elf Empire, and only the Moon Elf Empire is left, and it is still an independent kingdom parasitic in the Lan Alliance. Seeing that their ideals that they can't achieve with their desperate efforts, are so easily on the negotiating table. It is realized that the Moon Elf Queen who just sacrificed can probably cry/laugh stupidly in the underworld.
Of course, I don’t think even the most optimistic Moon Elf elders think that all these demands will be fulfilled. They just ask for a huge price and pay back the money. As long as they sit at the negotiating table, it is an excessive condition for nothing. , as long as one is cashed, it will make a big profit.
They just saw that the Lan Alliance would not use force to clean up the interior at this time, and they probably seized the opportunity to make good political capital. The Lan Alliance tolerates them playing in independent small groups. One is that the Holy War has not officially begun, and the newly established Lan Alliance has priority for stability. The other is that the rulers are relatively moderates like Renee and Grena. The war potential of guided engineering, undead, and orcs cannot be fully tapped, and the remote elf kingdom is not valued.
And now their opponent is me, who once organized the purge of Sulphur Mountain, and Heloise, the golden elf who hates moon elves the most, and we, no matter how we look at it, are far from the image of the moderates...
There is nothing wrong in the strategy of "fighting against the outside world first and pacifying the inside". When the threat of foreign enemies is huge, internal instability is particularly prone to problems. , when the heart will hurt the lungs and the vitality will be greatly damaged, naturally it is not good to use force, and now, those who have been separated from the Lan Alliance system are at best a poisonous sore on the arm, and there is nothing to give up.
"Heloise, during this time, I will prepare the resurrection ceremony of Suana's resurrection. You will do it yourself on the Moon Elf side, and you will use the dark elves. It is more appropriate to use my name. Anyway, I am also a professional scapegoat. Before the elf convoy arrives, clean up the house and welcome the new residents."
"Elf Butcher" and "Elf Destroyer" have been around for a hundred years, and it might be not bad to have a new executioner or something like that.
I'm too lazy to argue with those moon elves. Since we still can't see the general trend and our determination, let them be abandoned by the times, just clean up the current leadership of the moon elves, have a night of long knives or something, and then change The newcomer will come to the stage and give some candy. I believe that Suanna, who has a high reputation among the low-level people, will be a very suitable candidate.
If there were any concerns before, it was probably because of the influence of the reputation of the entire Lan Alliance, and it might also cause the elves to panic towards humans. Now all the hands-on personnel are elves, and I, the king of blame, what else is there to do? concerned.
Although there will probably be a river of blood, but what does it matter to me
"...Please wait a minute, this will hurt a lot of innocent people."
When the other patriarchs were silent, Suana stood up, her whole body was covered with a faint white light, and the little white light that was constantly scattered outside showed that she was extremely excited.
I laughed. If I didn't stand up at this time, I wouldn't be the Dove of Peace Princess Suanna I knew.
"Okay, if Heloise doesn't make a move, she will definitely bleed into a river. Come on, you've been used as a grinding agent on both sides of the elves and the Lan Alliance all these years, those cancers must be cleaned up, and those that can stay should be kept in your mind. ."
Suana was stunned. She didn't expect me to speak so easily. Then, her spirit body was shaking. She knew that although she saved her clan in a sense, it was by taking the butcher's knife.
"... But say it first, don't be a good person. If you need me to clean up a second time after the deal is done, then it's a real mistake."
Leaving this sentence behind, I went straight out the door, without even looking at the group of high-level elves who were stupid, the dim light in Suana's back scattered, and her heart was already in a mess.
It's enough to say this, and then it's up to them to make their own choices. If the results of the final cleanup are not satisfactory to me, they are still dragging their feet, let alone clearing up the entire Moon Elf high-level, it is possible to leave the land without leaving the clan. What happened... Of course, I will not massacre indiscriminately. If things develop to a certain stage, I will simply disperse the moon elves and let them live together with humans like the gray blood elves in the fringed kingdom, and the moon elves will become history. .
"... As for? I still like that girl Suana very much. Is it forced to this point?"
"It's just because she's not bad that I'll cut off all her weakness and innocence... Heh, I guess she'll hate me."
"Nonsense, you are forcing her to get blood on her hands, or stick to the blood of the clan, but you still hold her to be the patriarch of the moon elf. This is simply roasting her on a volcano. She obviously just wants to live a peaceful life, and I am afraid there will be no day in the future. Good day.…”
"Che, safe? Is there still a safe place in this world? From the first day she was born in the royal family, she has enjoyed the treatment of the royal family for so many years, so don't say such stupid things. Besides, it's not for you, so Can she turn back, she will definitely be closer to the Elf Queen."
Clean up all at once? How is it possible, unless she is willing to massacre, there will definitely be hidden dangers, and Suana is not a cold-blooded and decisive leader, let alone massacres, I estimate that the prison of the moon elves will be full in the end, and political figures as long as they are not slaughtered. Clan annihilation, there must be many hidden dangers after the event, but at that time, the headache should be Suana, who is sitting on the patriarch of the moon elf.
And Helois, the airborne elf queen, is probably most afraid of the unity of the upper elves. A single moon elves and dark elves will become the hegemons in the elf empire. It is unlikely that the dark elves will be one and the same, and the moon elves will form a group. The ability is okay, there is really no good way to deal with the rebellion, so I will take this opportunity to plant an eternal crack for them.
I'm not talking nonsense. It's a good thing for Heloise that the moon elves are making troubles within the clan every few years.
The position of Suana's patriarch is unstable, and the power within the clan cannot be counted on. Naturally, she will get closer to Heloise, the elf queen, which can be regarded as eradicating a hidden danger.
"Hey, I believe you are a ghost. You still don't want to eradicate the troubles of the moon elves. You've probably had enough. It's good to be good at calculating, but calculating all day long, I'm afraid you will always be dissatisfied, and there will always be new ones. request, that would be too much trouble.”
I shrugged and didn't deny it, the moon elves are too troublesome, I'm tired of playing conspiracy with them, and I understand it all at once.
"... It's still a bit too much. That girl Suana is our only clan, so pure is too rare... "
Innocent? pure? It is a compliment in times of peace, but since it is responsible for the leadership of the tribe, naivety equals stupidity, and purity equals inexperience, which are not good words.
"Clan? Oh, you mean natural undead?"
If so, there are not many natural undead in the main plane now, and they are all cunning and cunning bastards, so pure is indeed incredible.
But I laughed.
"... You were right when you said that we were the only clan outside of us, but now it's not... "
My eyes look to the south, where, two of the five undead emperors are also born of the natural undead. In terms of experience and danger, they are still above Roland and Heloise. , especially the one who instantly cast the forbidden spell, has instantly climbed to the top ten of the natural disaster list, and how he did it is still the most popular issue in the country of wizards.
And I, who got a lot of information from Heng and Esso, did know how he did it, but I felt more and more unfathomable.
"South, it's really a big trouble, those guys, I really don't want to meet them on the battlefield, but I'm afraid, some things are difficult to avoid..."
