Chapter 266 Diplomat

Although the plenipotentiary diplomatic representative of a big country has a lot of power in any place, but on the side of the elves and Oran, it is not just as simple as managing diplomacy, but being a mouthpiece.

A large part of the elves' industry in Oran is directly controlled by their family, from tariffs to law enforcement to the joint military, a large part is also controlled by them, so power and financial resources should not be underestimated.

The actions of the sahuagin in recent years have been relatively radical, and the elves have also regarded the coastline as a priority, so a series of corresponding shipbuilding plans were proposed in the early years, but they were not fully approved by the financial management parliament. After less than half of the execution, the naval power is much worse than that of a mage or an army.

It is precisely because the diplomats have more knowledge and contact with Oran, they naturally have a deeper understanding of the murlocs who were near the coastline of Oran. Although the parliament did not agree, they are also assisting the construction of the subordinate human city-state in private. Got a nice fleet.Can come in handy.

But even so, there are still people who disagree: "Is it necessary to requisition the fleets of those subordinate city-states? This may be considered by the subordinates as a sign of our weakness, and it will bury hidden dangers for the future. Our prestige cannot be lost. "

The naval officer asked back without hesitation: "If those people have different ideas, it's not bad to call this time. Sooner or later, there will be actions. We protect these subordinate city-states so that they can play a role when necessary, not to send out some Insignificant money. This is not a reason to maintain your weird self-esteem. If you care about honor so much, you can take care of those murlocs yourself. Can anyone do it?"

Now the field is quiet. Those who can stay here for a decision-making meeting are more or less pragmatic, and they don't know much about major events.

In the end, it was the old man who made the decision: "Then, according to what Governor Enver said, call up the city-state's coastal defense fleet, and send someone to Queen Julia by the way, saying that we want to rent the idle ships of Oran."

They went further and approached the Oran people, but this time no one raised any opinions, which shows that the prestige of the old man is obviously much higher than that of the Governor of the Navy.

The civil official continued: "Then let's move on to the next question. Regarding the recent looting incident on the border, our ranger group traced the source and carefully investigated the small countries in the south. The result was very troublesome. They all disappeared, were taken away by bandits, and their whereabouts are unknown. It’s not that there are a few small villages by accident, that’s not worth paying attention to, but what we have learned now is that many areas have been severely affected by the disaster, and [-] to [-]% of the population has been affected.”

Even if there was a war and the demand for slaves surged, it was really not smooth, let alone which small country in the south had the financial resources to hire dozens of large gangs, and they were not able to settle the plundered population.

[Where are the leaders of those affected small forces?There are only those sites in total. The management of the subordinates should be more specific. It is impossible for them to be unaware of all of them. Any feedback? 】

Tang Zhao's territory is considered to be quite small among them, and naturally he understands the thoughts of small local leaders better. There are only tens of thousands of people in total, and suddenly there are hundreds of people missing. As long as you pay attention to your own territory, it is impossible to notice less than.

The intensity and frequency of wars in that place are quite exaggerated. Those who don’t pay attention are either replaced by vagrants or conquered by stronger ones. There are not many parallel imports left, so that kind of situation is difficult to establish.

"This... some people insist on pointing to those places headed by Bugle City, and we are still investigating."

The old man made a judgment at this time: "Basically, there is no need to investigate further. It is certain that those demon believers did it. Only they can openly do such a wasteful thing of their own race."

With such a reminder from the other party, Tang Zhao can roughly connect things together—even if there is no place to place a large number of slaves around, it will be much easier to use the method of summoning and offering sacrifices.

"So the enemy has become a demon, and things may be much simpler now."

The conflict between human forces and elves in the mainland is considered a civil war, but the conflict between demons and elves is different. It will be raised to a higher level, and many forces that were originally on the sidelines will take action.

"Deal with it as soon as possible, you are all more proficient in specific methods than me."

The old man waved to everyone, and then left the meeting place first. He didn't know what he was busy with, leaving everyone with their own thoughts.

After all, he is an outsider, and he will not be assigned any important work, so he is only asked to take over the material support from Oran as a symbol. I know how many catties I have.

After making a decision, the elves did not move slowly at all. The spirit of the whole city was almost completely renewed. There were busy elf soldiers everywhere, and there were many more fleets with various flags on the sea. The return of the small fleet of human trophies has added a lot of atmosphere to the battlefield.

But even in the current situation, there are still quite a lot of banquets in the city, and the haze of war has not enveloped everyone, especially those middle and upper nobles, who generally have no real sense of it.

Unlike the situation on Oran's side, there was no conflict of the scale of tens of thousands of people between the two sides, but all kinds of small commotions continued, and various reserve teams of the elves left the field one after another.

Elves and dwarves also take the quality route, but compared to dwarves, they have several very serious problems-the territory is too wide, and the endurance is slightly insufficient.

The plains in the territory forced them to allocate a lot of manpower to defend, but they were not as durable as the dwarves, who could withstand long-term high-pressure environments, and they would inevitably show fatigue after a long time.

In terms of frontal combat, the bandits, monsters, and murlocs around were no match for the regular army of elves, but there were too many of them and they appeared all over the country, so it was difficult to deal with them for a while.

After a few weeks of back and forth, the situation became very delicate—the elves had to use the power of the spellcasters to suppress the enemy, and the only ones who could deal with potential high-level demons were those high-level spellcasters, whose status could not Excessive loss.

Facing great resistance, the reinforcements from Oran and the Western Elves were dispatched to where they should go, in order to relieve the pressure brought about by the shortage of troops.

Even so, the shortage of combat power has not been completely improved. After all, the elves are hard to protect themselves, and the Oran people have to be distracted from dealing with the threat from the north. The elves have turned to adventurers and various churches for help, hoping to alleviate the problem, but for now Seems like a drop in the bucket.

At this time, a dwarf convoy arrived in the city of the elves, which attracted the attention of many nobles.
