"Hey..." Lord Medusa sneered, "The city lord thinks that his methods are vicious enough, but he doesn't know that this is just leaving hidden dangers for himself. Either he doesn't do it, or he does it completely, and destroys Delnox.
All the drow elves and servant races in the city have been transformed into real shadows and formed their own shadow army. In this way, the Lord of the City will no longer have to worry about the betrayal from behind, the shameless person of the Poison Blade
, there will be no way to plot against you behind your back."
"What do you mean the Poisoned Blade is plotting against me?" Bunir asked coldly.
Medusa Lord's beautiful face showed just the right amount of surprise: "What? City Lord, you don't know yet? The reason why they rebelled is because the Poison Blade sent people to spread the news in the city that you lost your mask due to negligence.
The king's favor.
Do you think that your appearance on the transformation altar of the Poisoned Blade is an accident?
All this was planned. He is the supreme leader of the Dark Dagger. The Lord of the City used the roots of the gods and those Moando servants to try to seize Myth Noel's plan. How could he not know about it beforehand?
?
I just pretended to be ignorant and reaped the benefits. Now that I failed, I put all the blame on the city lord, but did not mention a word about my own negligence..."
"That's enough, don't say any more." Bunir interrupted Lord Medusa. If his face wasn't already dark enough, he would probably be three points darker.
Nothing can withstand repeated scrutiny and consideration.
Even if nothing happens, it can often be figured out.
Especially the relationship between drow elves is already full of traps and betrayals. The poisoned blade is definitely not clean here. In order to stabilize his rule and for the sake of his three cities, he has no one in the three cities.
Place less of your own chess pieces.
There was no anger on Lord Medusa's face, but her smile became even sweeter, because the poisonous seed had been planted and it was inevitable that it would not take root and sprout.
Fu Xing Yeying's eyes flickered for a while, and finally he said coldly: "Tell me your plan."
"It's very simple. Use this war with Myth Noel to change the nature of Delnox. All male drow elves will be yours and turn them into undead shadows. All female drow elves will be mine and turn them into
Medusa, when the time comes, their life essence will be completely in your hands and mine, and they will naturally not be able to betray you." Lord Medusa revealed his fangs.
Fu Xing Yeying sneered and said: "You are very calculating. In this way, you can be equal to me in Delnox City, or directly replace me."
Lord Medusa said with an innocent face: "Lord City Lord, how can you think so? My loyalty to you and to Delnox City will never change."
"The Masked King will not allow us to act so wantonly." Fu Xing Yeying said decisively, "I will pretend that I didn't hear what you said. If I hear similar remarks again in the future, don't
If you blame me, report it directly to His Highness Velen and ask him to impose divine punishment. Even if you gain His Highness's favor again, all the gifts will be deprived of you."
Lord Medusa sneered and said: "How are you sure that His Highness Velen will not allow this?"
Fu Xing Yeying looked solemn and whispered: "Is this an oracle from His Highness?"
"Your Highness has no time to pay attention to your words and deeds, nor does he have time to manage these chores. Otherwise, what would we, the priests, and these servants do? Your Highness can handle it by himself."
Lord Medusa said ambiguously, "If you want to gain more favors from His Highness, you must take the initiative to share your worries. As long as you start from this point, no matter what you do, there will be nothing wrong.
The Poisoned Blade has done so many deviant things, sometimes even taking his own life to replace the Masked King. Have you ever seen the Masked King punish him?
Do you think it was the Masked King who made an oversight? Or did you connive by default?"
This inference made by the other party can be described as treasonous and blasphemous.
But Bunir had to admit that there was indeed something irrefutable in it, because he had spent some time conspiring with the Poisoned Blade and knew his methods very well.
Especially during the Darkwalker War, there were countless things he did that were out of line, and they, the Priests of Velen, were frightened to see him.
However, it was these exceptions that gave him a decisive advantage and victory, and allowed his grace to flourish rather than be taken away.
But Bunir is not someone who is easily led by the nose, and quickly countered: "This approach is to walk on a single-plank bridge on a cliff. You can only move forward. Once you make a mistake, you will be doomed and masked."
The Lord will take everything back with interest."
"The way to power is to move forward without hesitation. How can we achieve greater success?" Delphine's words revealed a deep disdain.
Whether she disdains Bunir's timidity, cowardice, or aggressive tactics, only she knows.
"Don't waste your breath, I'm not interested in your plan." Fu Xing Yeying was not moved at all.
Accepting the temptation of a former drow priestess would be a truly foolish thing to do.
Their loyalty to others can never be higher than to themselves.
The core of their plans can always only revolve around themselves and never around others.
According to her plan, in the end, Delnox City will no longer be a drow city, but a Medusa lair.
"Since this plan is not in line with the City Lord's wishes, we will change to a more conventional plan based on your existing plan.
Your plan to encircle Mis Noel has no problem with the general direction, but there are definitely fatal flaws in the details.
Knowing that the opponent has a tribe of Goliaths, yet they do not eliminate their effective forces. If given the chance, the opponent will definitely fight back.
The focus of the next war is to draw out the opponent's counterattack force and annihilate it on the spot, even if it means paying a small price.
If we are fully prepared, the loss may not be as heavy as we think.
As long as the city lord arranges the sacrifice transformation circle in advance, not only the drow elves who died in the battle will be transformed into shadow warriors, but even the Goliaths will be no exception.
Once there are no shadows, those Goliaths will be resurrected. They will definitely be more cautious when fighting against us again, because once they are killed by their own shadows on the battlefield, they will be completely replaced."
Lord Medusa was not surprised at all when the other party rejected his first plan.
In the drow, there are bound to be many obstacles in a great plan from the time it is proposed to the time it is put into execution, and this time is no exception.
A qualified drow will never have less than three plans in hand for the same matter.
This time Fu Xing Yeying did not refuse sternly, because before the other party arrived, he was brewing a similar plan in his mind.
If the available soldiers of Mis Noel are not eliminated, his siege plan will be aborted. Those natural races will no longer accept their intimidation and start migrating to Mis Noel in large numbers.
In the end, their troops became more and more numerous and their types became more and more complex.
And our side will continue to be weakened.
What really worries Bunir is the attitude of the original residents of Misnoel on Evermeet Island.
The news about Noelle's reboot of Mystery could not be hidden.
Especially when the root of the gods, the main reason for Myth Noel's abandonment, has been jointly destroyed by two incarnations of the gods.
It is likely that some of the original residents will choose to migrate back to Misnoel.
Compared with the free and undisciplined elves, the elves who accept the protection of the elven gods are the biggest trouble for the drow.
Although he was still moved, Fu Xingyeying still did not express his position directly, but said enigmatically: "Tell me a more detailed strategy."
Posturing.
Lord Medusa made a cold comment in his heart, but still had the sweetest smile on his face, and told his plan in detail, "Between Misnoel and Delnox City, there is a person named Silence.
The woad tribe.
They have been under the influence of radiation from the city of Delnox.
After the restart of Mis Noel, they already had the intention of defecting. I heard that their two envoys had been welcomed into Mis Noel by those Goliaths.
Their entire clan's defection is our opportunity to annihilate the enemy."
The effects of radiation mentioned by Medusa are nothing more than slavery and oppression, and a reign of terror using fear.
"Kill two birds with one stone!" Although Fu Xing Yeying didn't want to show too many personal emotions in front of Lord Medusa.
But she still had to give full approval to her plan.
In an instant, he could appreciate the subtlety of this plan.
They dispatched a large army and surrounded the defecting Silent Tribe under the city of Misnoel.
If Mis Noel sends troops to rescue them, they can use their superior strength to wipe out all their effective forces and completely seize the initiative in this war.
If Mis Noel sat idly by and ignored them, then massacre the group of woad tree men under their city, which would damage Mis Noel's reputation in Mir Forest and serve as a warning to others.
Fu Xing Yeying's eyes flickered and he asked: "How many people in this woad tree tribe are yours?"
Within the influence of a drow city, the integrity of the tribe is still maintained. Unless there is the strength to confront it head-on, the only possibility is compromise and corruption.
In the city of Delnox, the tribes that are not controlled by themselves can only be in the hands of this beautiful snake in front of them.
How could Lord Medusa tell the truth to the other party? He replied ambiguously: "It is enough to affect the decision of their entire tribe. Whether they move the entire tribe to Misnoel depends on my words."
Bunir took a deep breath and said, "What do you want?"
"All the women in Delnox City." Medusa Lord Lion said loudly, "Give me three days. In this war, you will have a Medusa army to dispatch, and you will be able to fight with the poison-quenching blade.
In the confrontation, I will stand firmly on your side."
The reason why she was named Lord Medusa was not simply because of her strength and high status in Delnox City.
Also because she masters the secret method of transforming ordinary women into Medusas.
As for personal wishes, mentioning this word among drow will only attract ridicule.
"Impossible." Bunir refused instinctively and his attitude was very firm.
Although he had not been working with this beautiful snake for a long time, he had already clearly felt the pressure she brought.
In just a few years, she had extended her tentacles into every aspect of Delnox City, becoming the number two person only under him.
He was able to firmly suppress her before because of his military power and the instinctive fear and disgust of Velen believers towards female drow.
Even if the other party is a masked traitor, he is also a servant of Velen.
After all, the other party was once a priestess of Lolth. Who knows whether her betrayal was out of her true heart? Or was it another conspiracy weaved by the Spider Queen remotely?
But once the other party is allowed to form its own direct army on a large scale, even if it is beneficial to itself in the short term, it is inevitable that it will lose control over time.
Lord Medusa retreated and said: "All the female captives in this war belong to me. When the time comes, not only will the Silent Tribe act in full compliance with the wishes of the city lord, but I will also lead all the Medusa tribesmen to participate in the war."
This time Fu Xing Yeying readily agreed and said: "Deal."
If you want to make the other party contribute, you can't give them no sweetness at all.
"Then I wish us a happy cooperation." The smile on Lord Medusa's flawless face became even sweeter, and the viper's long hair hissed, expressing the master's inner joy.
The big opening of the lion in front is just a series of foreshadowing. The plan in front of her is what she really wants to implement.
Because she knew very well the temperament of the drow elf in front of her, who was ambitious yet cautious and cowardly.
He was more on guard against himself than against the poison-quenching blade.
Because what the latter needs is his and Delnox City's allegiance, and she may seize his right to rule in Delnox City.
Compared to swallowing, nibbling is the way to go.
What's more, the net he weaved was much larger than Fu Xing Yeying imagined.
Not only is the new ruler of Myth Noel on this network, but Bunir is also on it. Who will be eaten is still unknown.
…
Woad tree man.
They are a type of tree people and can be regarded as their cousins, but there are huge differences between the two.
Compared to tree people, woad tree people look more like humans.
Because they are not enlightened and transformed from ordinary trees, they are born as woad tree people.
They are more human-like in size than treants.
It is only about two meters tall, and its body is completely made of wood covered with bark. From a distance, it looks like a well-built human wooden statue.
The specific origin of this kind of tree man is unknown.
Their number is no more common than ordinary tree people, and they mostly live in the deepest parts of the forest.
They usually live alone or in groups of three or five, and rarely form large-scale tribes. Unless they notice the spread of dark power in the forest and are committed to protecting the forest, the woad tree people will breed rapidly.
Form a tribe or even an army.
Because they are plants, not living things.
They are genderless and reproduce through seeds.
As long as you give them a few years, they will be able to expand from a small tribe with only a dozen people to a medium-sized tribe with hundreds of people. In a few more years, they will become a large tribe with thousands of people.
The Silent Woad Treant tribe in Mir Forest was established only a few decades ago.
Needless to say, the reason is to protect the peace of Mir Forest and suppress the development of the drow, especially the city of Delnox.
There were countless confrontations between the two sides in the Mir Forest, and the cost was also very heavy.
The Quiet Tribe tried its best to breed, planting no less than a thousand seeds every year, but the population of the entire tribe was only a little over a hundred. Even the leader didn't know how many times he had changed, let alone ordinary woad tree people.
.
Before this year, the conflict between the Silent Tribe and the drow would always result in a winner or a loser.
But since the drow won the Darkwalker War and the city of Delnox was able to concentrate all its forces to develop in Mir Forest, their pressure suddenly doubled.
I had to think of another way to fight.
Noel, the fan of the reboot, gave them hope.
Lan Guan is one of the current leaders of the Silent Tribe. His name comes from the blue crown vine on his head.
This is not acquired, but innate.
To be more precise, after he obtained the position of leader of the Silent Tribe, he used the unique method of the woad tree people to induce the blue color from it.
This is to pay tribute to the founder of the Silent Tribe, the original Blue Crown Chief. This is the inherited name of their tribal chief. The implication is that they will never forget the reason why the Silent Tribe was originally formed - to drive away the evil drow.
.
There was unconcealed earnestness in Lan Guan's eyes, and he asked the two Woad Treemen who were on the mission to Mis Noel: "How is it? Have you entered Mis Noel? Do the Restarters have any intention to accept us?
How is Miss Noel doing now?”
He spoke the language of the Mu tribe, his tone was slow and low, and his speaking speed was much slower than common language. It was obviously a very urgent matter, but he also had a series of questions. When he asked the questions, he was a little unhurried and revealed
A mature and steady smell.
Zuo Lanzhi responded at the same speed: "We met the restarter of Myth Noel as we wished, and his attitude towards natural races is as friendly as the legend says.
After he heard about our intention, he agreed to our request without thinking.
The situation in Mys Noel is just as we expected. The population is very sparse and we need active forces like us to join."
The blue left arm is the name of this woad tree man, and it is also his biggest feature. The entire arm is blue.
The appearance of the woad tree man is surprisingly consistent.
Let alone outsiders, even for themselves, it is not easy to identify their identities - because many of them grew from the seeds of the same woad tree, and they are out-and-out brothers.
They will turn a certain part of their body into a different color to distinguish their identity, and it will also turn into their name.
Just like the blue crown, the entire arm and thigh become one color, and there is another layer of meaning.
The other woad tree man who went with him on the mission to Mis Noel has a whole right arm that is sky blue and is named Blue Right Arm. Together, the two of them are Lan Guan's right-hand man and his most trusted subordinate.
