Things in the world are like this. When the legend rises high, everyone is looking up to the legend, and because the legend is almost side by side with the sun, the strong light will block out everything except the golden light, but when the legend falls
When the legend comes back to everyone, those who once looked up to the legend will find that the legend also needs to eat.
This is the situation Adrian is facing now. When he is creating a series of miraculous victories, these lords who even have to agree to an degrading treaty to join the Glory Alliance are even more concerned about such an almost humiliating treaty.
It's so satisfying. Isn't that Osman still hiding in the No. 47 World Tree camp and secretly feeling sad? But after Adrian was "defeated", when Adrian was no longer so magical in their eyes, they
What he wanted to do was definitely not to continue to follow Adrian and fight together to regain the lost glory.
They were even a little happy after Adrian announced the dissolution of the Glory Alliance - they finally didn't have to break the contract. They looked at Adrian with admiration now: Lord Adrian, he seems to be very considerate.
Yes.
The dissolution of the Glory Alliance was not filled with separation and sorrow as many people imagined. It was like when a marriage that seemed to be a good match for many years finally got the divorce certificate. Secret joy and relief were the main themes. If both parties involved in the property division
If they are satisfied, they don't even mind starting a new life right away. In their opinion, this is the most honorable ending.
Of course, it is really inappropriate to use peaceful divorce to describe the relationship between Adrian and this group of lords. After all, in Adrian's view, these lords are actually nothing more than a group of old and lustful concubines.
, although Adrian obviously suffered a loss in the distribution of glory and merit, a "breakup fee" that both parties were satisfied with was a reflection of demeanor. The difference between a scumbag and the best ex is often just whether the compensation is
Being able to meet the other party's psychological expectations is something Adrian knew in his previous life.
This group of lords was obviously satisfied with Eldaryan's severance package. They almost all achieved the achievements and glory they had expected, although they themselves suffered considerable losses, and even their servants and vassals became part of the organized fighting force.
Death, but in the final analysis, in their eyes, they are just low-level elves and vassal races represented by numbers, and didn't these guys who died in battle also get what they wanted? That's enough.
Seeing these lords leaving happily, Adrian couldn't even find any accurate metaphor to describe his mood for a moment, and this complicated look in the eyes of these lords became even heavier.
Their complacency: "Look, isn't even a guy as famous as Adrian worried after losing our help? It seems that the miraculous victory is really nothing special, he Adrian
They are just high-ranking elves who are lucky."
Of course, this group of arrogant and self-satisfied guys quickly paid the price for their arrogance. They ignored that although Adrian suffered a failure, he actually failed at the hands of the Cyclops, and then in
In the next two years, they rushed to the three boulder camps under construction by the Duwei like moths to the fire, and were severely taught by the trolls and other races of the Duwei who were building urban camps.
A meal.
Not to mention anything else, when they and Adrian were no longer allies, without the air support and battlefield cover of the organized air force, they were baptized by the full-airspace sonic skills of the Answer Banshee and the Male Harpy.
Now, even the hunting ground can no longer be defended.
And what has Adrian been doing in the past two years? In the eyes of other lords in the No. 47 World Tree Camp, this Excellency Adrian seems to have been discouraged by the last failure. This man who was once like
The guy who was as dazzling as the sun became depressed. He actually stayed in his station for two years without even making any move. As a result, public opinion about Adrian's death once again spread throughout the Green Sea Dynasty.
The storm was even more intense than the last time Adrian committed suicide to study undead magic and even tainted the spirit of life in order to lure the Blood and Bone Pirates to attack his territory. It even affected the family.
But is this really the case? Obviously not, Xiuyi and Bidars disdained such a wind-controlling storm. When the Glory Alliance disbanded, Xiuyi and Bidars chose to stay, and their relationship eased.
The two brothers Gadwin and Colson also chose to continue to be the lords of Adrian. Colson, who was heartbroken by his family, firmly chose to stay and found sufficient reasons, but Gadwin made Adrian feel a little bit
He was confused. After all, Jadwin was forced by Adrian to become his attendant. However, as Jadwin took the initiative to stay, Adrian, who was insecure, even thought that this was Broad Sword San.
There was a conspiracy against him by the Niel family.
But it turned out not to be the case. Jiadewen seemed to be really impressed by Adrian. During the period of Adrian's "silence", he completed the tasks given to him by Adrian very well, and even maintained an absolute
His loyalty has not been leaked to the Broadsword Sanniel family at all. Facts have proved that Gadwin is a good squire and has outstanding abilities. In Adrian's view, Gadwin's abilities are still retained in his residence.
Among the four high-ranking elf nobles, they can be ranked first, and the second is Bidars. As for Huey and Coulson, Xiui is more like a standard noble lord above the level, with some dandy attributes.
, more than established, but lacking in progress, and Coulson turned into a dangerous guy after being completely cut off from the family. Now he is very close to Harper, even to the extent of helping to do the dirty work.
So the one who helped Adrian the most in the past two years was actually Jia Dewen. Of course, Adrian could not recover from the fall, and with the big crisis of the Lord of the World's control weighing on his head, how could such a trivial matter be stopped by the Cyclops?
It may have shaken Adrian's determination. His so-called silence was actually just giving himself a chance to breathe and planning a big event.
Adrian finally decided to attack Hertoy. His soldiers were actually digging a tunnel from the 47th World Tree Camp directly to the Solar Storm Territory and Hertoy.
Six hundred kilometers of tunnels with a diameter of ten meters was a super project that would have been unimaginable even in previous lives. That is to say, Adrian now has the help of a shield machine. Otherwise, even if he is given ten battalions of mole artificial soldiers
He didn't dare to think about it either.
Today, two years later, the tunnel began to be connected. In fact, it is not just a tunnel. After all, this tunnel connects Hertoy and the Solar Storm Territory. Under the premise that Adrian has the ability to surprise Hertoy and drive straight into it, he can also
It is still necessary to ensure that this tunnel will not be used by the governors to directly threaten the Solar Storm Territory, so there are many checkpoints similar to small fortresses in this tunnel, and Jiadewen is currently the closest to Hertoy.
For the chief of a checkpoint, in his opinion, this is the trust of the commander-in-chief.
The penetration of this tunnel made Adrian become ambitious again. The reason why this tunnel is 600 kilometers long is actually because Adrian built the tunnel in Hull in order to bypass the Cyclops's huge stone fortress.
The exit of Troi's side was placed two hundred kilometers deep into the hinterland of Hertoi, so that Adrian and the others could attack the hinterland directly after exiting the tunnel.
On this day, Adrian gathered all his attendants, vassals and subordinates. He was going to give an impassioned speech to inspire determination, because they were finally going to attack the hinterland of Hertoy. Adrian walked to
In front of the stage, he looked around at all his subordinates, attendants and vassals with proud eyes: "Everyone, we have faced setbacks, but setbacks cannot defeat us. We have faced death, but death cannot scare us. We
We have also held funerals for our comrades, but the funerals of our comrades are our bloody courage. I..."
"Please wait a moment, Your Excellency Lord Adrian..." The person who spoke was the military supervisor Dolag, who had not seen him for a long time. This supervisor, who had been waiting for death on the tower mountain range for several years, seemed to be
He was out of his mind again. He actually rushed over and interrupted Adrian's speech. This behavior made Adrian narrow his eyes at him. This guy, wouldn't he want to ask for a bribe again? Does he need to get rid of him?
Dropped it, Adrian thought.
But Dolag did not give in when faced with Adrian's threatening eyes this time. Of course, he was not not afraid. His pale face proved that it was really scary. Not only did Adrian narrow his eyes
His eyes were blinded, and everyone present looked at him with blazing anger, as if he would be executed on the spot as long as Adrian gave the order, especially Adrien like Mellie and Orch.
An's die-hard loyalist has already put his hand on his weapon, and there is a possibility of violence at any time.
Faced with such huge pressure, the Military Supervisor is certainly scared. He knows that if he dies in Adrian's hands, he will probably die in vain, but there is nothing he can do about it, and he did not mean to do it.
What interrupted Adrian's speech was actually that he happened to catch up with Adrian giving a speech when he came back from the military commander's camp in the Sento Mountains. And judging from the content of Adrian's speech, if he didn't interrupt, he wouldn't have done it.
There was an opportunity, so he chose to bite the bullet and meet Adrian's gaze: "Your Excellency, Lord Adrian, I have an order from the Holy Spirit Grand Elder Council, which is issued to all lords..."
Dorag explained, and Adrian opened his eyes. It seemed that he was not seeking death for bribes, so Adrian said: "Then, please read out the order, Your Excellency Dorag..."
Dorag breathed a sigh of relief and took out a piece of papyrus from the space prop. However, he did not read it out immediately. Instead, he looked around and finally looked into Adrian's eyes and said: "Your Excellency, Lord Adrian."
