"The abyss from outside is glaring at us, the Order camp is hostile, and there are even divisions within the Lan Alliance. There are internal and external troubles, and the situation is dire. How can this situation get any worse... No, I can't say this. According to my experience, every time
Say 'Can it be any worse/unluckier', and fate can really give you something worse."
Although I was full of sighs, I only complained a few words out of habit. In my past memory, it was normal for this broken ship with "holes everywhere" to have internal intrigues while still barely moving forward.
That kind of situation where everyone shouts "unity" and "forges forward bravely", without considering personal gains and losses, and having the courage to sacrifice wisdom and foresight, only exists in epic fairy tales. If this situation is really found, I will
My first reaction would be to give myself a slap to see if I accidentally fell into the enemy's illusion.
The reality in my memory is that people often have their own little calculations. Even when fighting foreign enemies, they will scheming with their superiors and subordinates, complaining about too little salary and too tiring work, while reluctantly working in the interests of common interests.
Advance under command.
It was not the same in Sulfur Mountain City back then. It was a territory we laid with our own hands. The foundation was solid enough. It could be said to be a rare paradise in the underground world. However, there was still a lot of fun inside. The parliamentary faction and the judicial faction were hostile to each other. When encountering outside
When the underground overlord threatens, a large number of citizens and officials
members defected to the enemy, and the parliament, one of the core of the power, rebelled collectively... Forget it, let's not mention it. I like knights and the army, and appreciate the knights' loyalty and justice. A big reason is that they are relatively simple.
, at least facing this cruel era, they must be simple.
Moon elves are not fools, they are just used to treating other races as fools. They are causing chaos for us at this time because they see the general trend and know that the Northern Elf Empire is about to be established at this time. It will be easy to use the moon elves to cleanse us at this time.
It had a great influence on shaking the hearts of the elves, so they seized this opportunity and made a series of excessive demands, hoping to obtain benefits at the negotiation table that they could not obtain on the battlefield.
It was as they wished. There was no other Northern Elf Empire there, and only the Moon Elf Empire was left. It was still an independent kingdom parasitic in the Lan Alliance. Seeing that the ideal that they had been unable to realize with all their efforts was so easily placed on the negotiating table.
If it is realized, the Moon Elf Queen who just died may be able to cry or laugh stupidly in the underworld.
Of course, I think even the most optimistic Moon Elf elders don’t think that all these demands will be fulfilled. They just ask for an exorbitant price and pay back the money. As long as they sit on the negotiation table, they will be able to achieve whatever they want. These are all excessive conditions for free.
, as long as one is cashed in, you will make a lot of money.
They were just sure that the Lan Alliance would not use force to clean up the internal affairs at this time, and they probably seized the opportunity to make full political capital. This can be said to be exhaustion of agencies, or it can be said to be greed without limits, but they have not thought about the past.
Lanmeng tolerates them playing independently and in small groups. One is
The Holy War has not officially begun yet, and the stability of the newly established Lan Alliance is given priority. One is that the rulers are relatively moderate people like Renee and Galina. They also have too many chips in their hands, and the war potential of magic engineering, undead, and orcs has been tapped.
It's not over, and it doesn't value the remote elven kingdom.
And now their opponent is me, who once organized the purge of Sulfur Mountain City, and Heloise, the golden elf who hates moon elves the most. And we, no matter how you look at it, are far from the image of moderates...
There is nothing wrong with the strategy of "In order to fight foreign enemies, we must first settle the internal affairs". When the threat from foreign enemies is huge, internal instability is particularly prone to problems. When the "internal dangers" have been integrated with the physical organs, once they are eliminated,
, it will hurt your lungs, and when your vitality is severely damaged, it is naturally not beneficial to use force. But now, what is already outside the Lanmeng system is at best just a malignant sore on the arm, so what is there to be reluctant to part with.
"Heloise, during this time, I will prepare the resurrection ceremony for Suana. You can do it yourself on the Moon Elf side, using dark elves. It is more appropriate to use my name. Anyway, I am also a professional scapegoat.
Before the elf fleet arrives, clean the house to welcome the new residents."
"Elf Butcher" and "Elf Destroyer" have been on my body for hundreds of years, and adding a new title like "Executioner" might not be bad.
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 out the current Moon Elves leadership, have a Night of Long Knives or something, and then replace them.
The newcomer comes on stage and is given some candies. I believe that Su Anna, who has a high reputation among the lower class people, will be a very suitable candidate.
If you were still worried before, you would probably be worried about the impact on the reputation of the entire Lan Alliance and the possibility of causing elves to panic against humans. Now that all the people involved are elves, and I, the king who takes the blame, what else can I do?
Worrying.
Although there will probably be rivers of blood, what does it have to do with me?
"...Please wait a moment, this will hurt a lot of innocent people."
While the other clan leaders remained silent, Su Anna stood up. Her whole body was covered in a white light, and the dots of white light that kept spreading outside showed that she was in an extremely emotional state.
I laughed. If I didn't stand up at this time, I wouldn't be the Princess Suana, the dove of peace, that I know.
"Okay, if Heloise doesn't take action, blood will flow like a river if she does. Come on, you have been working as a blending agent between the elves and the Lan Alliance for these years. Those cancers must be cleaned up, and you should be mentally aware of those that can be left behind.
."
Su Anna was stunned. She didn't expect that I would be so easy to talk to. Then, her spiritual body was trembling. She knew that although she had saved her people in a sense, she did so by taking the butcher's knife.
"... But let's make a promise first, don't be a good person. If you need me to clean up for a second time after handling it, then it means you really killed someone by mistake and didn't let it go."
After saying these words, I walked out of the door without even looking at the group of high-level elves who were stupidly staying. The light in Suana's back scattered, and her heart was already in chaos.
That's enough. After that, it's up to them to make their own decisions. If the final result of the cleanup is not satisfactory to me and they continue to hold back, let alone clearing out the entire Moon Elf high-level, it is possible that no tribe will be left behind.
What happened... Of course, I will not massacre indiscriminately. If things develop to that point, I will simply disperse the moon elves and let them live together with humans like the gray-blooded elves in the Liusu Kingdom. The Moon Elf Kingdom will also become
history.
"...As for that? I still like that girl Su Anna, but why am I forced to this point?"
"It's just because she's pretty good that I'll help her cut off all her weakness and innocence... Heh, I guess she'll hate me."
"Nonsense, you're forcing her to have blood on her hands, the blood of the sticky tribe, and yet you still promote her to become the leader of the moon elf tribe. This is like roasting her on a volcano. She obviously just wants to live a stable life, and I'm afraid there won't be a day in the future.
Good days..."
"Tsk, stability? Is there any stability in this world? From the first day she was born in the royal family and has enjoyed royal treatment for so many years, don't say such stupid things. Besides, it's not for you, so
Can she still look back? She will definitely get closer to the Elf Queen."
Clean it up 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 the massacre, I estimate that the prison of the moon elves will be overflowing in the end, and
As long as politicians are not exterminated by their clans, there will definitely be many hidden dangers afterwards, but when the time comes, Su Anna, who is the leader of the Moon Elf clan, will have a headache.
And Heloise, the airborne elf queen, is probably most afraid of the unity of the upper elves. A united moon elf and a dark elf will become the hegemon in the elf empire. It is impossible for the dark elf to unite as one, and the moon elf to unite.
Their abilities are okay, but there is really no easy way to deal with them if they really rebel, so I will take this opportunity to plant eternal rifts with them.
I'm not talking nonsense. The moon elves causing divisions within the clan every few years is a good thing for Heloise.
Suanna's position as the leader of the clan is unstable, and the clan's strength cannot be counted on. Naturally, she will get closer to Heloise, the elf queen, which can be regarded as eradicating a hidden danger.
"Hmph, I believe you are the only one who is evil. You don't want to eradicate the trouble of the moon elves. You are probably fed up with it. It is a good thing to be good at calculations, but if you are calculating all day long, I am afraid you will always be dissatisfied and there will always be something new.
The request would be too troublesome."
I shrugged and didn't deny it. The moon elves were too troublesome, and I was tired of playing tricks with them. I wanted to understand them all once and for all.
"...It's still a bit too much. That girl Su Anna is our only clan member. It's so rare to be so pure..."
Innocence? Purity? It is a compliment in peacetime, but since you have the responsibility of leading the tribe, innocence is equal to stupidity, and purity is equal to lack of experience, which are not good words.
"Clan members? Oh, you mean the natural undead?"
If you calculate it this way, there are indeed not many natural undead in the main plane now, and they are all cunning bastards. It is incredible that they are so pure.
But I laughed.
"...Before you said that the only clan other than us was right, but now it is not..."
My eyes looked to the south. There, two of the five undead emperors were also born as natural undead. In terms of experience and danger, they were still above Roland and Heloise.
, especially the one who casts the forbidden spell instantly, has instantly climbed to the top ten of the natural disaster list, and how he did it is still the hottest topic in the country of mages.
And having received a lot of information from Heng and Esso, I do know how he did it, but I feel more and more unfathomable about the other party.
"The South is really in big trouble. I really don't want to meet those guys on the battlefield, but I'm afraid there are some things that are difficult to avoid..." (~^~)
