"Considering the terrible situation we are facing now, I suggest that everyone immediately mobilize fully and gather all the forces that can be mobilized to launch a large-scale offensive to cause sufficient casualties to the current attackers."
Dark Elf Matron Angst stood up and said loudly, "Who supports!? Who opposes!?"
Obviously, after realizing that the current situation is very tense, and such a discussion may not be able to reach a result in a short period of time.
Angst intends to rely on her identity and intimidation to push forward her plan again and recruit people for her own last stand.
"Your Excellency, I would like to ask what is the current situation of mankind's arrangements on the front line?" A matron of the first family from another dark elf city-state stood up and asked.
"My subordinates told me that now the outsiders' offensive forces have shrunk, and they can't even get much accurate information."
"Uh--actually no one can get the specific situation of the attackers at the moment." After being criticized by her fellow tribesmen, Angst replied helplessly.
After all, the matron opposite is the ruler of Razor City. Not only is she the second best spellcaster among those sitting here in terms of extraordinary power, she is also a very powerful force.
Therefore, Angost must give her corresponding respect, and it is not appropriate to be vague in this place.
"Although I know this is important, after our base was blocked by the attackers, the opponent chose to completely shrink their forces and mobilized some troops who were also good at fighting in caves and mountains to start clearing the rear and blocking the battlefield. Therefore, our scouts almost
There is no way to successfully penetrate the opponent's defenses and bring the news back alive."
"As for all kinds of magical and magical means, we have tried them all, and even organized two blood sacrifices. However, because the other party also has a large number of blessings from the gods, the spellcasters we organized cannot see their specific situation at all -
—”
Unlike the dark elves, who fight on their own after entering the battlefield, the coalition of intelligent races headed by humans can achieve general coordination under the command of the general headquarters, and can also obtain the blessings of the gods of their own camp.
Therefore, the defense formed by the alliance of multiple forces is far beyond what those wilderness race city-states or tribes can break through alone.
This also led to this group of guys not knowing that after the strategic contraction of the civilized races, humans not only concentrated their forces to pull out the nails left by the wilderness races behind their own fronts and nearby, but also strengthened the construction of defense facilities.
.
For example, at the cost of reducing some weapons, ammunition and supplies, a batch of explosives and steel and concrete were urgently transported and some semi-permanent and permanent fortifications were built in many important places throughout the valley, not just the wilderness populations at the contact points between the two sides.
The group I met.
"Lord Angst, if there is no specific information, then we cannot deduce the current size of the entire coalition army and the focus of its defense." Dunif, the gray dwarf city lord, said at this time.
"Although I don't want to admit it, I still have to say that facing the current war situation, we need to plan for some worse results. Therefore, when I don't know the specific situation of the enemy, I prefer more conservative tactics."
Being scolded by Dunif, Angost felt the blood vessels on her head throbbing with pain. If her skin hadn't been black, her face might have turned as red as a tomato.
After these leaders expressed their opinions, other leaders also expressed their attitudes.
"The comprehensive mobilization during this period has delayed many of our things and consumed a lot of our supplies. Not to mention the massive loss of personnel. Under this situation, I can't see the difference between resisting here and leaving here to find another way out.
A better place than anything else.”
"And the group of invaders outside just want to establish a communication line, not large-scale development. I don't understand why those of us who are originally some distance from this valley area would choose to join this war."
The people who spoke came from several other major forces, so they were not very afraid of this group of dark elves. Especially since everyone had had a lot of friction before, so after the previous few defeats, they were naturally not afraid to act with the greatest malice.
Speculating on the intentions of Angost and the dark elf city-state behind her.
Especially when everyone is gathered together, through communication, these people realized that the ones who suffered the most serious damage in the previous war were fringe races like gnolls or goblins, even as one of the two giants in this area of the underdark.
The gray dwarves also lost many of their core and pillar armed teams.
To say that the people least affected in this war are the dark elves who jumped up and down to gather everyone. Except for the elites of the second family of the Shadow Corner City who lost Angest, the entire dark elves have suffered in this war.
Basically no organized troops were lost.
But if you take into account the long tradition of internal fighting among the dark elves, it is difficult for others to determine whether the loss of the dark elves was really caused by some kind of accident or whether Angst wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
At least in the eyes of the controllers of the various tribes and city-states present, the suspicion of killing with a borrowed knife is unavoidable.
In fact, the truth of the matter is similar. According to the tradition of the dark elves, it is natural for Angst, as the matriarch of the first family, to want to use this war to weaken the power of the second family.
It's just that according to the traditional conspiracy level of the dark elves, most of the power of the second family will die together with the armies of civilized races through several fierce battles in this war. No matter how doubtful outsiders are, they will only
You will feel that this ending is somewhere between reasonable and unreasonable.
Instead of being caught off guard by Nora's attack due to an accident, the whole family's elite army was finally wiped out.
As a result, a conspiracy that was originally difficult to detect was directly exposed to the eyes of most people, and after being labeled as someone who would kill people with a knife in this war.
Every decision Angost makes now will be understood by those present as she has come up with a new way to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
After all, it is too difficult for these evil creatures to be as willing to contribute to others as the kind or neutral creatures of the civilized races outside.
For extremely selfish beings like them, how could they miss the opportunity to deceive their old rivals? They would not take into account the issue of external enemies' pressure on the country.
If they had really found it difficult to abandon everything in this area and their gods had made some demands on them behind their backs, at least half of the people present would have chosen to leave their homes and give up this land. After all, for those who are now nomadic
For people of different races, moving is not too difficult.
But even so, the gods behind these races have retreated because of previous repeated failures and painful losses.
At least for these gods, they just hope to teach the gods behind the civilized race a lesson through their subordinates, rather than hoping that their believers will just stay here.
With each having their own plans, it was naturally difficult for the entire coalition of wilderness races to reach a consensus. Fortunately, these disputes were ended only after the last few priests who served the gods of each race entered the cave hall.
These priests brought the oracles from the gods, and after hearing the oracles, Angost felt a mixture of sadness and joy. The happy part was that the gods had decided to temporarily let her take command in this direction.
The worst part is that Rose warned her that this was also her last chance. If she failed again, she and her family would be completely eliminated, and she herself would be deprived of everything and transformed into a spider elf.
