Prehistoric Calendar

Chapter 1442, Gru's decision
"...They are still gnashing their teeth, but they won't last long." Gru finished eating the food on the plate, even the last fruit, and then picked up a glass of amber wine next to him and drank it. Drank it all, not a single drop remained.

There are a total of eight people sitting with Gru. Except for Li Si, the rest are Gru's subordinates. The weakest ones all have legendary ranks. Besides Grue, there is another middle-aged man who is the strongest. Spirit bit.

Like Gru, they drank every drop of food and drink, and there was a maid who wanted to add food and wine, so Gru waved his hand and told the maid to leave.

During the days when Li Si was in the elves, besides going to the joint meeting with Gru, he also participated in many banquets where the elves invited him regardless of Gru's obstruction, because he wanted to attract the killers that the elves royal family might send. It's a pity that the royal family of the elves was very honest and didn't send out any assassins, so Li Si was still alive, and Gru didn't find any further excuses.

In these banquets, Li Si really saw the luxury of the elves, a large amount of food, delicacies that Li Si could not even imagine in the past, golden grains, deliciously baked bread and pastries, and oily and fragrant meat. Poultry and fish, as well as a lot of fruits, a lot of delicacies that Li Si couldn't even imagine, and this is just a small corner of the banquet, and the elves enjoy such delicacies every day, Li Si has Pay attention to the fact that there were ten delicacies at the banquet, and the elves who participated in the banquet couldn't even finish one, and all the rest of the food was dumped.

And all this will never happen in Gru's embassy. He will chew and eat every grain of food, even if the food is not his favorite, and drink every drop of drink, even if it is just ordinary. freshwater.

Li Si now knows that Gru is the one who stands at the top of the entire elf clan, even the elf royal family is actually at the bottom, and such a big man is so frugal, Li Si has never understood, so he also asked Gelu later. Lu.

"...It is not easy to grow food on the land where I am. Although I, as a leader, can easily enjoy all the delicacies, even the treasures of heaven and earth, but it requires ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times of food to exchange , so how unfair is this to those who work hard?"

Gelu said seriously to Li Si: "I am a leader, but this is because of the difference in the distribution of duties. The capable ones come first, but this does not mean that the incompetent are useless. The most rare thing in the world is the word fairness. I don't mean to deliberately pursue the so-called fairness, because everything in the world is not fair, but within the scope of what I can do, I will try my best to give fairness to the people around me, so I only eat food that can fill my stomach, Strive not to waste any food, and hope to share joys and sorrows with those around me, not for anything else, just because I want to."

Li Si has never thought about this, and he has never thought that the strong can be so self-denying, because in the past years of Li Si, all he has seen is the weak prey on the strong, the prey is weak, so it is eaten by the hunter, and the human is weak, so Being eaten by orcs is the most reasonable thing in the world. Obviously, what Gelu did is actually unreasonable, but Li Si feels that at this time, Gelu has an urge to cry and even kneel down. At that moment, Gru in Li Si's eyes was extremely tall.

At this time, after Gru and everyone finished eating, he said: "I have gained some morals through the matter of the ancient covenant, and the elf royal family obviously does not intend to let this go. , If it can be delayed for a day, it will be a day, and they can afford it, as long as it is delayed until the Holy Throne comes, I will lose, so we need to find a way to solve it."

At that moment, Gelu's subordinates were thinking about each other, and Li Si didn't dare to speak. In fact, he still didn't know what his position was, but Gelu asked Li Si to follow him, so Li Si complied.

At this time, the middle-aged spiritual person said: "Master Gelug, since this is the case, why don't we bypass the royal family and directly contact the elves? Now that we have morality, the royal family is disqualified in terms of the blood oath covenant. Let's do this." , and with the power of Lord Gru, the elves should no longer resist as rigidly as before, right?"

Gru nodded slightly, and a legendary female elf next to him said: "Indeed, as Master Anxilu said, [-]% of the elves have joined us early on, and more than half of the remaining [-]% actually don't reject us very much. Because of the elves royal family, they dare not have too close contact with us. Now we have morality. Since the elves royal family is silent and procrastinating, let them continue to be silent. They procrastinate theirs, and we win over ours. Hand over the power, then we will create an established fact."

Gelu nodded slightly again, he pondered for a while and said: "This is indeed a solution, we can't let them continue to delay, then, Anxilu, as your envoy, start contacting the elves. Our elf tribes contacted each other and asked for a covenant, a joint army, supplies and so on... I don’t think we can get so much at once, I will go to the royal family to fight the autumn wind in two days.”

Everyone laughed happily. At this time, a demigod elf suddenly spoke. Li Si knew this person, and it was the elf who rescued him from the mouth of the spider monster.

He suddenly said in a low voice: "Master Gru, these days I have been observing the part where the elf royal family is located, and discovered something."

Gru looked at the elf and said, "Mindos Lange, you can tell what you find, there are no outsiders here."

The demigod named Mindos Lange nodded and said, "I found that the geographical environment of the royal family is too favorable."

Several elves nearby laughed softly, and the female legendary elf who had just spoken said, "Isn't this obvious? Lord Mindoslange, we elves love nature very much, but not every forest is suitable for it." For us, for example, the endless forest is mostly powerful monsters, and there are terrible curses and forbidden places. There are also other vast forests, either because the climate is not suitable, or there are too many monsters, or there are some bad things. The place is vast, the products are rich, there are not too many powerful monsters, and the forest is suitable for our elves with a suitable climate. This is not a simple matter. As the royal family of our family, it is not a matter of course thing?"

Gru was thoughtful, but he didn't smile, but said to Mindos Lange: "Go on, I'll listen."

Mindos Lange nodded respectfully and said: "Master Gelug, the fertile land and the deep forest make it extremely difficult for outside races to invade, and the internal richness can be self-sufficient. At the same time, there are several places in this forest. The powerful magic power of the earth veins, and many defensive magic arrays can be arranged, combined with the unique magic locks of our elves, this forest of the elves royal family is almost a paradise, but ah, Mr. Gru, ease makes people fall, we Why do we transfer our territory from the forest to the wilderness? Isn’t it just to exercise our will and body? As far as I know, the elf royal family has not fought any race for more than 100 years. They have enjoyed peace and ease for too long long time."

He didn't wait for the rest of the elves to speak, but continued on his own: "What the royal family holds is nothing more than being peaceful and comfortable. They don't want to make too many changes, and they don't want to participate in our struggle with the holy throne. They plan to wait for the holy Returning to the throne means that there is no merit or fault, but what if at this time, other races invade the royal forest? Force the royal family to fight? Or even... put the royal family into a desperate situation? If so, they still plan to wait quietly and be silent Is it? They won't know what will happen after the Holy Throne is revived, but they can clearly know that it is about to perish. In this case, what will the royal family do?"

After these words were spoken, everyone present was silent, and then they all looked at Gru.

Gelu was also silent, and after a long time he shook his head and said: "No, if the royal family is attacked, it is their own fault. I will stand by and watch, but if I introduce foreign enemies to invade the elves, even if the royal family forces me to , I don't take it either... that's it."

Mindos Lange lowered his head again and said, "Then... what if we didn't attract this foreign enemy?"

"...Are you referring to the orcs?" Gru thought for a while and said.

Mindos Lange immediately nodded and said: "That's right, my lord, it's the orcs, and maybe the ancient orcs are also added. I have information that shows that the orc alliance outside the elf forest is very abnormal. It seems that a war broke out or something happened inside them." For anything else, a city plus two or three, or more spiritual positions fell because of this."

"Oh?" Gru became interested, and he asked, "How about it?"

Mindos Lange shook his head slightly and said: "I don't know the specifics. After all, the relationship between the orcs and us is very bad, and there are too many differences in appearance and size. My information comes from some magicians from the orc side, and it's just vaguely heard."

Gru thought about it thoughtfully, and he said after a while: "Although there is no specific information, the internal war you mentioned is possible. After all, the orc lineage is actually a combination of many races. , especially the ancient orcs, they are not divided according to one race, and their bloodlines are also different. From the knowledge brought by the survivors, it can be found that the ancient orcs all have the bloodline of giant beasts, and the orcs are the derivatives of the ancient orcs. Inferior races, and they are too much influenced by their own blood, even affecting their thinking, so it is possible for them to easily have internal wars."

"and……"

Gru looked at the sky outside the window with worry, and then he continued: "With the emergence of signs of revival of the holy gods, all races will undergo huge changes, and this is not just the case of our elves. I believe other races There will also be big moves, or civil strife, or division, or foreign wars... The world is going to be chaotic."

Just as Gru expected, on the fourth day of this conversation, the Forest of Elves was invaded.

At the beginning, no one thought it was right. The Forest of Elves is indeed very suitable for the elves. There are no too powerful monsters, and the products are also rich, and it occupies a very large area. Since the elves royal family established their foundation here, there has never been any Races can invade here, and the forest itself is the most powerful means of defense.

So when the news came, no one cared about what kind of enemy invaded the forest except Gru and his party, because it didn't matter if it was any enemy, and soon these enemies would become the fertilizer for the growth of the forest. The magic locks on the outskirts of the forest can wipe out all the enemies, not to mention that the combat power of elf rangers and elf druids in the forest can be doubled, which makes it even more impossible for the enemy to invade the core circle of the forest.

So many elves are still singing and dancing, still enjoying themselves comfortably, the news of the enemy's invasion didn't even cause a little disturbance, what should be eaten, what should be drunk, and what should be ridiculed by the Gelu Department continued to mock this group of muscular country bumpkins.

A few more days passed, and amidst the delusion, many defensive lines on the southern periphery of the Elven Forest were breached, and the peripheral defense troops fled. Three of the archdruids who guarded the magic lock nodes in various places died on the battlefield. The archdruid escaped with his own body, and also fled to the rear. The entire magical mystical area outside the Elven Forest was completely lost, and the external invading enemy was marching towards Emerald Leaf, the outermost city in the south of the Elven Forest.

When this news came out, the entire capital of the elf royal family fell silent, followed by countless noises and incredible questions.

Officials of the system to which the Elf royal family belonged immediately began to shirk each other, blame each other, and blame related and irrelevant personnel. Various personnel, political affairs, and military affairs were chaotic, and the royal family came out to claim that it was a false report. , but then the archdruid from the front line came back seriously injured, and declared that the Emerald Leaf had fallen. All kinds of chaos continued in two or three days, and all kinds of rumors emerged. It was originally peaceful and peaceful, and the seemingly powerful At this moment, the elves' royal family is weak.

The speed of development of all this is too fast, Gru and others are dumbfounded.

When the information about the invasion first came, Gru's subordinates were still discussing whether to secretly contact their informants in the royal family and launch public opinion guidance and attacks, so that the royal family had to be exhausted to deal with it, but the reality has greatly improved. They slapped all of them in the face. This kind of chaos caused by the frontline war issue should never have happened in Gru's and others' minds. Not only should it not happen, but it should be the opposite.

The issue of war is related to the life and death of the entire tribe, and it is the most serious matter. Since Gru's troops moved the territory from the forest to the wilderness, there have been almost non-stop wars, large and small. The shape is like water and fire, and it also offended quite a few elves. At that time, Gru had to fight fires everywhere, and was on the verge of extinction many times, fighting between life and death. , From a demigod to a spiritual position, an originally weak elf subordinate has become a powerful faction stronger than the royal family, and he has become the strongest elf clan himself.

A situation like the elf capital is absolutely impossible to happen in Gru's tribe. If it really happened, how many people will be cleared from top to bottom, and even the entire administrative system, military system, and intelligence system will be wiped out. Was pushed over to clean up.

So in the past few days, Gru and the others have been taciturn and observed everything silently, because it was so ridiculous that even Gru had the illusion that the elf royal family was playing tricks, waiting for them to take the bait and do wrong things. Until a few days later, when dozens of elf nobles, legends, demigods, and a distressed spirit came from the magic circle from the emerald leaf to the elf capital, everyone really knew that there was really an invasion of foreign enemies They entered the forest of elves, and it was not an ordinary invasion, but an extinct invasion that killed, robbed, and burned.

In the entire Emerald Leaf Border City, except for these dozens of elves, the millions of elves in the entire city, plus the fleeing border guards, were almost all trapped in it. Perhaps a small number of elves could escape into the forest in the chaos, but absolutely Most elves will be killed by enemies.

The enemy is orcs and ancient orcs, and it is not an ordinary army of orcs and ancient orcs, but an army of more than 2000 million, gathering almost all the ancient orcs, men, women and children.

This is the wave of orc warfare, which has never appeared in the new era, but in the eyes of the survivors of the old era, it is a very terrifying thing. It is a symbol of the cruelty and terror of the ancient orc lineage during the Great War. The orcs derived from it, all active individuals, all set off in groups to fight. The orcs and ancient orcs in the tide of battle are not afraid of any injuries and pains, nor are they afraid of death. All orcs and ancient orcs follow the battlefield With the increase of dead individuals, they will become crazier and stronger, either they will all be killed, or their enemies will be killed, there is no other way to speak of.

Gru also knew about the tide of war. He snatched almost all the books and information of the old era from the survivors. This kind of madness is very terrifying, especially when it is used in racial wars.

Gru is an expert in warfare. How could he not know that the core of an army's combat power is actually morale, and there are various means to maintain morale, from material logistics, rewards, punishments, reasonable systems, and victory measures? Hope, from the spiritual aspect of army building, combat ideological connection, such as why to fight, etc., all these are to maintain and improve the morale of the army.

For this reason, Gelu didn't know how many ways he had thought of and how much hard work he had done to keep his army's morale high. Even so, if he was killed by the enemy in a certain battle, then his All troops are likely to be defeated.

But the army of orcs in the battle tide has no morale. There is a saying that if you kill 100 of the 50 million people on the opposite side, the remaining 50 will go berserk directly. If you kill another 25, the remaining 25 may be hit. There will be a large-scale awakening of grudges.

What's more frightening is that the army of war-tide orcs has no so-called retreat, logistics, encirclement, cutting, etc. They don't need a retreat at all, they just need to push forward all the way, and they don't need the so-called logistics. If the enemy is killed, the enemy's food is theirs. As for the food that you brought with you before you kill the enemy, then the low-level orcs are their food. After the low-level orcs are finished, they will continue to eat the next-level orcs Anyway, there will be no shortage of food. As for encircling, cutting, or even traps, it is not a problem at all. Anyway, you kill me, I kill you, and finally run out.

This is the orc during the war tide. Although it is not invincible, it is also terrifying.

So when he knew that the enemy who invaded the forest of elves was a war-like army of orcs, and the number reached more than 2000 million, even Gru was taken aback. Such a large army of orcs was his It is probably enough for the entire army of the tribe to contend against it. At this point, it is useless to take advantage of it. It is necessary to call on all the elves under the banner of the royal family to form a unified army of elves. An army of orcs swarmed to contend.

You must know that this army of more than 2000 million orcs is probably just the vanguard. The war tide is the offensive launched by all orcs and ancient orcs, and the overall number of orcs and ancient orcs should be considered the largest population of all races. Let alone 2000 million, 20 million can be pulled out to fight all, and the next 200 million can be pulled out immediately, maybe 2000 billion, [-] billion, [-] billion can be pulled out.

And how many elves are there?

As far as Gru knows, the total population of the most prosperous elf royal family should be 5000 million people, and the elf divisions seem to be very large, but there are actually only sixteen divisions with a certain scale. Except for the elf royal family, other divisions Generally, there are about 1000 million people. Gru's troops leave aside humans and other tribes that are vassals. The pure elves actually only have a population of 700 million.

Counting those small elves, the total number of elves in the entire Great Desolate Continent is 5000 million, which is too much. This number may not be a fraction of the overall number of orcs and ancient orcs.

Moreover, Gelu knows that even if the total number of elves is 5000 million, among them, women, children, old and young, civilians who have never fought at all, and civil servants who are not suitable for fighting, etc., can really pull people together. The army that comes out may be up to 3000 million at most, which can be regarded as all the people, and it will take a long time of training, scheduling, logistics, arming... and a series of manipulations, so that there may be 3000 million troops The army, otherwise, based on the current number of elves' existing army, it is likely to be 1000 million, no, not even 500 million! ! !
Therefore, when Gru knew that the Emerald Leaf had fallen, and that the attacking Wanzu was a large army of orcs and ancient orcs who had turned into war tides, he immediately went to the Elven Palace regardless of the obstruction of all his subjects, and demanded that the Elven royal family should be treated as a royal family. The order calls on all the elves to lead the army to help, form a joint army, and then give him the command of this army, and he will also use the army in his territory to help, first defeat the attacking 2000 million orc army, Afterwards, the defense line was established as quickly as possible, and at the same time, all the civilian elves in the elf forest retreated to the territory of other elves, away from the orcs and ancient orcs.

Then... Gru's proposal was rejected of course.

"My lord did something stupid." Before he had time to contact Anxilu, the elven spirit of other elves, he said to Gelu unceremoniously: "If there is no lord, maybe the elf royal family would really go like this Do, form the Elven Alliance, the commanders will naturally be those survivors, but because of the presence of adults, the Elf Royal Family will not consider the issue of the Elven Alliance. I really won the war against the orcs and the ancient orcs. This prestige and authority can all be transformed into the sublimation luck of the adults. Maybe the adults can directly become the holy gods? So they will definitely not agree. .”

Gru was silent, and Doslange, the demigod of the elves, also said: "That's right, this itself is a contradiction between us and the royal family of the elves, as well as those who return to the survivors. How could they agree? And if your lord doesn't say anything, Even if the elves royal family is attacked by the army of orcs, as long as the capital is broken, even if they don't want to, they will consider the issue of the elven coalition, and even beg the lord to become the commander, but now that the lord speaks first, they will have nothing to fear , Your Excellency really did something stupid."

Not only these two people, but almost all of Gelu's subordinates thought this way, and Gelu was not angry, but kept silent. After a long time, he sighed and said: "It's just how difficult it is to pity the common people. The tidal orcs and ancient orcs have no mercy, and any creature captured by them will be killed, sacrificed, or even abused, I just can't bear it in my heart, alas."

Anxilu said loudly: "Small indifference can lead to great chaos, Lord Gru, you are the hope of the elves, the more you understand the weak and dirty nature of the holy gods in the old age, the more you know that once the holy gods return, the elves will be destroyed." Like a pool of stagnant water, at that time, the elves will no longer have a future, and what you shoulder, Mr. Gru, is not the rise and fall of you alone, but all of us elves, even the humans who take care of you, as well as those weak The only hope of the race, my lord, you really can't be kind to women."

Many ministers also came to persuade, but Gelu just remained silent.

He stood up, walked to the window and looked out. There were not many pedestrians on the street outside, which was in stark contrast to the previous bustling, but even so, this elf king's capital was still so peaceful, peaceful and prosperous.

"I get it...but some things still need to be done."

Gru turned back, and he said to his subordinates seriously: "I will wait another ten days in this elf king's capital. Within ten days, according to the madness of the orc war tide, more cities should be captured and deeper forests invaded. In the depths, at the same time, in the place that was invaded by the tide of orc wars, the tragedy there will gradually be transmitted back to the capital, which will put tremendous pressure on the elf royal family, and will also allow other elf tribes to see the face of the elf royal family, so I will wait here for ten days. Within ten days, if the elf royal family regrets it, or if other departments understand the serious relationship, or even if the nobles under the elf royal family know the consequences of continuing, then they will naturally There are political changes."

"If the elf royal family, or other departments unite, or the nobles of the elf forest unite to protest or even overthrow the royal family, then there is still hope for the elf coalition army, then I will take on this important task and lead this coalition army Fight the tide of orc war."

"If there is still no sound after ten days, and there is still silence, blaming each other, and then let the orc war tide invade all the way, and the dead and injured civilians will not be in their eyes, then I will turn around and leave immediately, and I will never care about this elf again. The life and death of the forest and the royal family, after returning, immediately issue a red army warning order, recruit all adult elves in the territory, and train intensively... We will fight with our own strength!"

"Ten days... this is the last mercy I give them!"

In this way, Gelu's subjects had nothing to say, they could only obey Gelu's orders.

The ten days are actually very short, almost fleeting, and during these ten days, the army of orcs and ancient orcs marched all the way to the elf forest, even if the elf druids and elf rangers are two extraordinary Occupations have greatly increased their fighting power in the forest, but you can kill ten or hundreds of orcs, and the orcs charge with thousands of them, no matter what you do, you are a dead word.

As for high-level extraordinary people, such as legends, demigods, and even spirit positions, they did not fail to attack, but they immediately discovered a terrifying change. Once they used extraordinary power to launch a wide-area attack on the group army, the immediate backlash would come to an end. , the larger the number of enemy troops and the more orcs killed, the greater the power of backlash.

If you launch a wide-area attack with a spiritual position, it is reasonable to say that it is enough to kill millions of orcs in an instant. If it can compete with the opponent's spirit position, then any spirit position can easily kill 2000 million orcs, who are just ants.

But in fact, once they launched an attack, it was supposed to be a legendary magic that killed millions of people. In the end, the wide-area attack killed less than 10 people at most. Severely injured, and even more serious, there was a thunderbolt directly from the sky, and the blue thunder directly smashed the spiritual position into coke.

This kind of thing has never happened in the past, and it has never happened in the old times. After paying the price of dozens of legends, more than a dozen demigods, and the death of three spirits, the elf royal family finally figured out something matter.

That is, high-level extraordinary people cannot use their own power to directly interfere with the army of mortals or low-level extraordinary people. Once they interfere, they will be killed or injured immediately. Only the army can fight against the army. Or fight with superhumans who are one or two ranks lower.

This formed the situation of king against king, general against general, and soldier against soldier.

The most frightening thing is that when one side has soldiers and the other has no soldiers, orcs and ancient orcs can bombard the elves' spirits indiscriminately in the army formation, and if you dare to fight back, thunder will fall immediately, and you will be killed immediately. It became a dead end.

Because of this, the royal family of the elves retreated steadily. In ten days, the orc army broke through three cities in a row, and tens of millions of elves were killed. As more and more elves were killed, this war tide army On the contrary, it has become stronger and stronger, and the number of naturally awakened low-level transcendents has exceeded tens of thousands.

At this point, the elf royal family still gritted their teeth, and had no idea of ​​mobilizing the elves' coalition forces. When the ten days came, Gru was also disheartened. The elf royal family really gave up.

He was about to leave now and return to his territory.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, news came from outside the elf forest, from the orc territory.

A rebel army appeared in the orc territory. This army has wiped out tens of millions of orc troops. Now it is spreading the news widely, calling on all the surrounding races to unite against the orc war tide.

Most importantly...

This army is a human army! ! !
All elves find it incredible, human?
Weak humans?
Even Gelu didn't believe it, so he specially sent Anxilu to investigate in person. A spirit bit let go of his strength and hurried on, but it was a round trip in a day, and Anxilu also brought back news, it was indeed a The human army, using the power of technological weapons, really wiped out several orc swarms, but now, they have fallen into a desperate situation, and the surrounding orc swarms jointly besieged each other, with a total of nearly [-] million orcs. The army surrounded the ground layer by layer, and their destruction was only in the blink of an eye.

"My lord! You can't go! We return to our own territory. This is the greatest pressure on the elf royal family. They will either perish or agree to your commander's request. But if your lord goes now, you can bring your own army to go Yes, the royal family will wake up laughing when they fall asleep!"

Many of Gelug's servants knelt down and begged Gelug, but Gelug made a decision and ordered everyone to immediately summon the elite army in his territory, especially the phantom marksman. He wanted to take his army to rescue the batch of humans.

Gelu passed these ministers, he walked towards the royal capital, and said as he walked: "A blood oath is a blood oath, I can abandon the blood oath today for my power, wealth, strength, and safety, then tomorrow I can also These and abandon you..."

"Then me, is it still me?"

Gelu gradually walked away, without looking back, he just waved his hands and said: "This is me... If you want to continue to follow me, come together, otherwise, if I go far, you will never see me again." my back."

A few seconds later, these ministers stood up silently and followed behind Gelu, each with helplessness on their faces, but reverence in their eyes.

The same is true for Li Si. At this moment, Gelu is extremely tall and majestic in Li Si's eyes.
