In a sense, the event of "volcanic eruption" is accidental, but also inevitable.
In order to cope with the jihad, we have made a lot of preparations, and the entire Northland has been managed into a monolithic unit, and this Northland alliance, which is tough and has little oil and water, will become stronger and stronger with the passage of time.
That sounds great, but when you're scheming others, they're scheming against you.
Although the Northland is difficult to gnaw and has no profit, the wise will not choose such a headache opponent. The abyss side just found the Fire Elemental Plane without considering any gains and losses, and forced the Northland into the battlefield.
"... Want to be alone and accumulate strength to easily become the ultimate beneficiary? Dreaming, this world is not as easy as you think!"
The abyss side gave us one to let us know that the plan is not as fast as the change. No one is a fool these days, but in terms of the overall strategic layout, it is not without benefits. At least, we reject the help of countries within the continent. sane...
"I'm sorry, we also want to help you, but the battlefield on our side is also very tight..."
"...His Royal Highness Roland, I don't know which plan you think is more suitable!"
Many plans lingered in my mind, but in the end, it didn't work out, why? We are currently in the process of discussing, and it is still the highest-level meeting of the Lan Alliance. The various countries are either plenipotentiaries, or the king and the prince themselves.
The small tent was crowded, and the count and lord could only stand outside to blow air, but the deliberation members inside could not reach an agreement.
This is already a week after the destruction of the Chauvin Dominion. Various rescue missions have been carried out in full swing. The population of the Chauvin Dominion is not large, and the Lan Alliance has no pressure to digest it, and Gagalore, who should have some opinions, is in his head. It's all gold.
It's not that we don't want to help the Chauvin Dominion take back its own territory, but looking at the endless volcano in front of us, we are really powerless.
The emergence of a new plane battlefield in the Northland is already a major event involving the entire Northland. It is natural to invite the leaders of various countries to discuss the response plan, but it is frustrating, but it is always impossible to reach an agreement.
"...Those who are close feel it is a threat, and hope to use the power of the Lan Alliance to quickly put out the fire, which is understandable, but it is really impossible. Some lords think that as long as isolation is enough, it is appropriate to warm up the northern land. It's not necessarily a good thing in the long run."
There are also some great nobles who even think that Lan State, which is close to the elemental plane of ice, is too strong. Perhaps, a new elemental plane is an opportunity for other countries, and some people have even tried to contact the flame lord privately.
All parties proceeded from their own interests and proposed their own solutions. Of course, they would not directly state their own interests, but only pushed their own propositions under the banner of the Great Lan Alliance. Extend indefinitely.
As an alliance between countries, it is necessary to listen to the suggestions of the alliance countries, so there is no way to waste time. The boring procedures still have to be completed, but in the end, whoever makes the final decision is still the biggest one. Well, in the end Renee decides, and of course, I decide.
I just put all the plans aside, some people just get used to thinking too much... I can't even read these plans.
"... Communicate with the flame element lord? Going to become a barbecue yourself, do you know the fire element language? Besides, do you know what the elemental war represents? That is your life-and-death feud. Do you think you can stop it at this time?"
I didn't tell the whole truth. In fact, if the element experts come forward, communication can be achieved. If the wind element god and the earth element god are invited to come forward, mediation is possible, but I don't think this time and the fire element Interviews are good.
Fire and water do not mix, and the plane of ice and the plane of fire are always mortal enemies. Since we have chosen the plane of ice as our allies, and even have thousands of years of friendship with the Lan family, there is absolutely no need to change flags.
"...warming up is a good thing? Do you know what the snow on the Daxueshan Mountains and the melting of the glaciers in the North Sea mean? When the big flood comes, I hope you have already practiced swimming, or simply turned into frogs."
I didn't lie, but I didn't tell the whole truth. I melted all the ice and snow and the 10,000-year-old glaciers at one time, and the entire Northland would turn into a vast ocean. But to do this, even ten more gods of fire elements can't do it. , the effect of slow warming year by year on the environment is acceptable, just like the yearly cooling caused by the ice plane.
I will not consider their proposals. In the big plan of the Lan Alliance, ice and snow and low temperature are our natural barriers, and the plane of ice is an innate ally. Before the cold winter passes, it is extremely stupid to burn your own barriers to keep warm. of.
I will not explain the specific reasons to these lords and kings, because it means countless explanations and consultations, and then there are endless "assumptions" and differences of interest. Lies get manifest agreement, after all, that's much more efficient.
The truth is not in the hands of a few people, but everyone has their own interests. Ultimately, they choose the "truth" that suits their own interests. The so-called majority is a collection of various interests. It doesn't matter whether my lies will be exposed or not. , the important thing is that this is the will of the two major Lan Kingdoms, and it will soon become the will of the entire Lan Alliance.
"From today, the volcanic area where the former Chauvin Dominion is located is regarded as an enemy-occupied area. The Fire Elemental Plane and the Fire Elemental Lord are the mortal enemies of the entire Lan Alliance, and any fornication with the mortal enemy is based on the Lan Alliance Covenant Wartime Regulations , those who cooperate with the enemy... kill without mercy."
My plain and firm words fell, and the tent suddenly became silent. Some people opened their mouths, and many people looked at each other, but in the end they didn't say anything.
But judging from the surprised and disbelieving expressions on the faces of the people, the representatives of the Lan Kingdom in the past did not seem to have been so direct and tough. Thinking about it, Renee and Grena are women after all, and they are too young. Their administrative methods must be softer, seeking coordination and consistency. More than a dictatorship.
And I... Considering my past reputation, I might indeed be suitable to play blackface and a dictator, so, in front of the kings of various countries, I simply picked up the pile of proposal documents and threw them into the trash can by the table.
"Since an agreement has been reached, let's implement it as soon as possible. Let the joint military begin to prepare for the construction of the defense line."
Well, since no one dared to disagree with what I said, it's unanimous.
Now all the plans have become waste paper, and from the moment the Fire Elemental Plane is regarded as a mortal enemy, let's start from the beginning to formulate a response plan.
…
"...It's really boring. Every time I want to do something, there are people who make trouble. I can understand that human beings are social animals, and it is almost instinctive to play with scheming and intrigue, but every time this time, I miss those who only follow orders. Undead. What the boss said is right, how simple and straightforward."
Looking at the mountain of flames in the distance, I took a deep breath, stomped my feet, and jumped a little to warm my body.
The quarrel in the tent behind was getting louder and louder, but I had no intention of answering it. From the beginning, I had no intention of listening to their opinions.
The iron triangle in the Lan Alliance has become more and more stable. When Lan Kingdom, the underground forces, and the Ciro Empire are all in my hands, even if other countries unite, they will not be able to make waves.
With the progress of the jihad, in order to fight better, the efficiency will probably be prioritized in many cases. If everything has to be agreed, and all the allied countries come up with a plan, then nothing needs to be done.
This time, even an emergency meeting to discuss emergencies was a means of beating other allied countries. During the war, extraordinary things were done. Only one voice was needed in an unbreakable alliance, and this voice could only come from Defende.
After I sing the black face, Renee and Grena will naturally sing the red face to make up for the rift, but now the fact that the Lan Kingdom has the final say in the Lan Alliance incident is in front of the world, and the other alliance countries must understand their own weight in order to avoid worse situation happens.
And the most languid political circles seem to be calm but in fact dark tides continue, so the black face of me is all the more necessary.
"… Any news?"
"Marquis Benn and Prince Steele, they have been very active recently, and many great nobles have private contacts with them. The message 'The Lan Alliance is not the Lan Alliance of the Lan people, but the alliance of the Northerners' also said that they sent It is spread by people. It is said that they are privately advocating humanism, and the banner of excluding foreigners has really attracted a lot of people.”
"The kingdom of Cazorla, there are always people who can't see it... Do it cleanly, don't leave the tail. Oh, no, let's leave the tail, make it more obvious, and die a little bit, so that people can see what tricks are playing at this time. What happened."
There is nothing wrong with conspirators or ambitionists. People think for themselves. Politicians do not think about the interests of their own country or nation, but only for themselves. , racial interests tied together, is a first-class politician.
But at this juncture, trying to split the Lan Alliance to raise its political capital obviously underestimated our determination to prepare for war, and there is no need to continue wasting air.
In the face of absolute strength, at a time when the entire Northern Covenant is becoming more and more consolidated, these guys who can't see the situation clearly are probably just jumping clowns thrown out by the big bosses behind the scenes.
But if Lan Guo gives in and retreats, it means being tested to find out the bottom line. In state-level exchanges, patience is not a virtue but a weakness.
"Since you've all stretched out your hands, then I'll cut them down."
