Of course, the so-called "asking for assistance" is just a superficial statement. It sounds nice, but the essence is to invite countries to send forces to be stationed in Sluvende in order to achieve a strategic balance against Erlan.
After making this decision, [Eclix Contract] immediately summoned members to take action. Although the decision has been made, it is still too early to let all the forces enter now.
At least you have to wait until you have demonstrated the power of the war weapon, otherwise you are not qualified to do such things as balancing left and right. If you want to make others believe that you have a trump card, then you'd better really have it and be determined to use it.
Of course, before demonstrating the power of the war weapon, a note needs to be sent to the Northland Alliance, requiring the Yerlan army to withdraw from Sluvende and compensate for the losses caused by the invasion.
Although it is just a reason, there is still a big difference between having it and not having it. Cruise, who has already understood the rules of the Northland Alliance game, will naturally not leave any clues to his opponents on this.
In fact, this is one of the few things Sruvender can do. After all, he is in a weak position. If he does not pay attention to some details of his actions, a complete failure is almost inevitable.
And if you are in a strong position, you can still do a lot of superficial things to appear legitimate. Cruise, who has traveled more than a thousand years later, is now reflecting on how Sluvend was almost universally hated back then.
Not only Sluvende, but also Sluvende's homeland, Arivanda, once had the opportunity to truly unify the elven world, but it collapsed in an instant due to arrogance.
Mild game rules can cover up the cruel nature of conquest. He has learned a lot from the Northern Alliance, but in his opinion, the five major countries such as Erlan are not very good at using this super tool.
Perhaps it is the restraints of the five countries that maintain the current situation, and this is the only chance for Sluvende to revive in the future.
If you miss it, unless the Northern Alliance disappears, it will forever become a toy of the great powers.
…
Netheril, Sevington.
When Shado walked out of the teleportation room at the headquarters of the Arcane Federation, he immediately felt a different atmosphere than before. He knew that perhaps the news that Sluvende had invited all countries to jointly develop ancient fortresses had stirred up the hearts of Master Nese.
But what he saw was not joy, but worry. Perhaps he was worried that the war would affect Netheril, or maybe it was just the exploration of the ancient fortress.
Just like the last time he came, Xia Duo quickly passed through the teleportation area, the trade area, and the library into the administrative area of the Austrian Law Federation headquarters. Yin Orem's office was at the very end.
But as he walked, Xia Duo suddenly felt something was wrong. He slowed down his pace slightly, and at the same time traced the source of this feeling in his memory. Unexpectedly, it was because -
Elf!
When he passed the intersection in front of the library, he glanced towards the dining and accommodation area, and from the corner of his eye he saw a group of depressed elves arguing with the union deacons.
Recalling it at this moment, Shado noticed that the elves were big and small, with families and families. Although their clothing style was closer to that of Cormanthor, their behavior and movements were more like the Ellan elves.
If it was just these, it would be difficult for Xia Duo to judge, but the family of five clearly looked like golden elves, but they acted more like common moon elves, and it didn't look like they were acting.
"Sruvind elf?"
This is the most likely explanation that Sha Duo can think of. Is it just that there has already been a fight on Sluvende's side? Or is this just something that was transferred in advance after getting wind of it in the past few waves?
Thinking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help but feel a little heavy. No matter what the reason was, the occurrence of this phenomenon largely meant that the people of Sluwende were disheartened.
A family of five appeared here at the Austrian-French Federation headquarters, and there may be more in other places.
Of course, it can also be said that this is Xia Duo's own speculation, but it is not complicated to verify, and it can even be said to be surprisingly simple!
As Sha Duo continued to go to Yin Olum's office, he cast a spell to project his perception. Although he only glanced at it before being discovered and stopped by the mystery lock arranged by Seven Towers in Severton, that glance was enough!
He saw that elves were using magic to build a residence in the southern area of Sevington. Judging from the construction style, it should be prepared for concentrated living!
Near the construction site, there were already crowds of golden elves, whose expressions were just like the family of five he saw at the headquarters of the Austrian Law Federation. They were all as frustrated, worried and confused.
That's not all he saw. In addition to the construction site, a group of people gathered in Offa Square in front of the Offa Union, and there were even some in the square in front of Nese Palace in the old city.
Seeing this scene, Xia Duo felt even heavier. Although he was not the one experiencing the displacement at the moment, the emotions of intelligent creatures were connected.
Or to use a word from my hometown to describe it--things harm their own kind!
…
Soon, Xia Duo came to Yin Orum's office. As expected, there was no one there. However, he had already sent a message to Yin Olem before coming, and Yin Olem's reply was that he was available.
Well, just wait here for a while.
Of course, waiting does not mean doing nothing. During this period, Sha Duo contacted Director Hechenis and asked about the situation of the elves in Nancheng District.
To this, Hatcherness’s answer was——
"Those came from Sluvend, some are real refugees, and some ran out in advance after hearing the news. The ones who are building temporary homes for them are the Cormanthor elves.
"Those Sluvend elves first sought help from the Severnton Council, but the reply given by the council was that they could stay in Severnton temporarily, but the council did not take the initiative to provide living and living conditions.
"It was Ambassador Cormanso who heard about this and rented a piece of wasteland that had not yet been put to practical use in the south city area that was being developed from Seven Towers to temporarily house them.
"The spell caster who helped them build the house was also a master builder personally invited from Comansso by Ambassador Cormanso. They were just a group of refugees, and Cormanso was really caring!
"Speaking of which, if there wasn't too much influx at once, Seven Towers could have made arrangements privately, but now it's inconvenient for Seven Towers to come forward, and the Seventon Council can't make decisions at will.
"As for arranging it to other places, it may cause some unnecessary trouble."
If Hachenis had not said the last words, Shado would have wanted some Sluvend elves to take back to the south. Of course, he was not so kind and took the initiative to invite the elves to live at home.
Feelings are feelings, but what he needs to care about is his own people, not some irrelevant elves. The reason why he wants to do this is because he covets the treasures brought out by the refugees from Sluvende.
More importantly, he wanted his own subjects to see what the real elves were like!
