The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 868 Disagreement
  The return of the remnants of the elves made the remaining elves who had wiped out the drow in Cold Wind Ridge inevitably be surprised, and then boundless anger and sadness surged into their hearts.

In the end, this anger and hatred was first vented on the slaves and their families who had been abandoned by the drow. Countless slaves who laid down their weapons out of despair were originally restrained in the building tamely. They thought they might be able to change their lives. There was a glimmer of hope, but they never imagined that what awaited them would be a ruthless and cruel massacre.

The raging fire directly ignited the buildings where the prisoners were detained. The elven warriors just stood outside in cold blood, listening to the screams and wailings in the sea of ​​​​fire. Any creature that walked out of the sea of ​​​​fire alive would be sent back immediately by them until Devoured by fire.

At the same time, in this dilapidated city that was basically occupied by elves, there were little flames rising everywhere. Under the instructions of the commanders, the elven warriors actually started to set fire to the city, preparing to let the entire city fight for their comrades who died. Funeral robe.

It seems that only by seeing the tragic experience of these prisoners and burning this city that has been run by drow for countless years can the sadness and anger in the hearts of the elven soldiers be calmed.

By the time the majority of the drow and thorn coalition forces arrived at the foot of Cold Wind Ridge City, they already knew the scene of the city shrouded in clouds, thick smoke and blazing flames without even testing the elven army. The other person’s choice!

"These goddamn bastards!"

Deborah, the drow mistress, couldn't help but feel ashamed, with a frosty look on her face. She never thought that the elf envoy would be so decisive and turn the drow's hundreds of years of hard work into ashes with a fire. In the end, even if the other party quits In the wilderness, if the drow matrons want to rebuild this city, it will probably take decades and immeasurable resources.

For a race that migrated from the underground, they do not have many resources to bring out, and they are not very good at management. Although they still have enough resources to rebuild Cold Wind Ridge, they cannot afford it. It paid the price of rebuilding the city many times.

Allen and Pernilai flew over the dark clouds and continued to fly towards the north. On the horizon, the elven army was retreating in an orderly manner. It was obvious that they had given up their plan to stay in the north, and they did not give the drow and the Thorns Alliance a chance to pursue the victory. .

"What are you going to do next?"

Suddenly there was a strong wind in the sky, and then thick dark clouds enveloped the city that was already surrounded by fire below. The drow spellcasters began to use the power of magic to save the city where they lived.

Allen's mood was waning, and he didn't feel much joy because all the elves took the initiative to retreat.

Even if the opponent suffers a major defeat, the existing forces are actually capable of competing with the Drow and Thorn Alliance forces. Now they have taken the initiative to withdraw, which makes the Drow matrons, Allen and others seem a little passive.

After this fire, Hanfeng Post has completely lost its role as a guard outpost. If they want to rebuild it, they will only rely on the drow's own strength. Even if they invest all the resources they have accumulated, they will probably have to spend more than ten years.

But now that the North is in a state of war, it is certainly impossible for the elves to give the drow matrons a chance to build a city peacefully. They may come back at any time and destroy the defenseless buildings.

If they do not build fortifications, the drow will not have the confidence to compete with the elves in the wilderness. Behind the elves, there are powerful kingdoms that continuously provide support and assistance. Even if they suffer a huge defeat like now, as long as they are given a month or two, they will be able to survive. , their strength can be compensated or even improved.

However, Zall has also lost tens of thousands of its main force this time. If they want to make up for it, they will have to rely on self-reproduction. The time will take decades. As one goes and the other goes, the gap in strength between the two will become wider and wider. In the end, Zall Will be consumed by the other party life and death.

Therefore, in Allen's view, the drow are now in a dilemma. Should they continue to garrison the land of Hanfenggan, or retreat to Bonn City to lick their wounds first.

The choice of drow will have a great impact on the northern border and the wilderness, because the current Alliance of Thorns navy only exists as a soy sauce. The real deal with the main force of the elves still depends on the drow. If the drow choose to shrink, then the thorns will The coalition forces could only retreat to the Daunasir Fortress.

In that case, it can actually be considered that the elven army that invaded the northern wilderness achieved their goal. After all, the real target of the elven kingdom's attack was not the drow, but the stronger and richer dwarf kingdom.

"Of course I want revenge!!"

Mother Pernilai gave an answer that was beyond Allen's expectations. When he turned to look at the other party, he noticed in his peripheral vision that the faces of the powerful Drow people around him had changed. It seemed that he did not completely agree with Pernilai's words.

"Those hypocritical guys just want us to retreat when the difficulties arise, but I just can't let them do it!"

"Since their main force has been severely damaged by us this time, they have bought us one to two months of free time. Although this time will definitely not allow us to build a strong defense line in Hanfeng Hill, it is enough for us. Go north to the territory of the dwarf kingdom, and use the power of those dwarves to tear off a piece of flesh and blood from the elves!"

"The elves are arrogantly retreating now, but they are just convinced that our federation is not strong enough. Isn't there nothing we can do against them?"

"I want them to pay for their pride."

"Penilai, we don't care what you personally want to do, but when it comes to federal decisions, you should at least discuss it with us!"

Just as Pernilai was talking to Allen and telling her her plan, the dark saint Ashley, who was already impatient, directly interrupted Pernilai's speech.

Pernilai made her own decisions in front of outsiders, obviously wanting to use Allen's existence to push the Hosea Federation in the direction of her choice. Although the demigod matron has a great say in the federation, she does not It doesn't mean that she can decide major matters in the Federation with just one word.

Although Ashley was impatient with her words, she was actually very restrained. For the sake of the presence of Alan, a distinguished guest, she could not reveal the disharmonious side of the Federation.

"I'm just asking Mr. Allen for my opinion to see what he thinks about this matter. If you have other opinions, you can also express them!"

Pernilai frowned slightly, but then she smiled with a charming smile.

"Your Excellency Allen, would you like to comment and see if what I just said is reasonable?"

".this"

Allen was a little embarrassed to express his position for a moment. From the bottom of his heart, he was actually very interested in the plan revealed in Penile's words just now. He even had some respect for this female demigod.

Only a truly far-sighted and wise leader would make a choice that seems to go against common sense and is unexpected like the drow matron is doing now.

But in front of other matrons and saints, Allen couldn't say much. Looking at the looks on the faces of several other drow leaders around him, they may not all support Penile's idea just now, otherwise they wouldn't directly Interrupting Pernilai to speak.

"After all, this is the internal affairs of the Hosea Federation. I really can't say anything."

After hesitating for a moment, Allen could only say haha. “Then let me put it another way, how will the Ring of Thorns deal with the war launched by the elves in Talen Continent next?”

Pernilai's eyes were burning, obviously not wanting Allen or the Ring of Thorns behind it to stay out of the matter.

When the other matrons saw Penile's actions, they stopped questioning her plans and turned their attention to Allen.

"."

Allen was a bit stuck, and he was completely unprepared to face Pernilai's problem.

The original purpose of this coalition dispatch was to cooperate with the drow army and plan to launch a counterattack against the elven army invading the north, in order to protect the safety of the organization members south of the Cator Mountains.

Apart from this, Allen and the others did not think about anything more profound, especially after witnessing the actual combat capabilities of the Thorns Alliance on the battlefield. Allen and the others understood more clearly that their own side was in the military operations of such a powerful force. , the strength in his hands is really weak, and he is not considered a chess player who can participate in it.

"Although I agree with Mistress what you just thought, it is a pity that the current strength of our Ring of Thorns is not enough to pose a threat to the elves. In this war, we can take advantage of it and make them suffer a big loss. Among them, Mistress, your army will contribute more.”

"As for the war between the elves and dwarves in the north, although we also want to help, the reality is that we are really powerless."

"Giggle."

Pernilai covered her mouth and smiled, but there was disappointment and sarcasm in her eyes: "I originally thought that you are a far-sighted and adventurous leader, but now it seems that I should make some adjustments to your image."

"Ha ha."

Allen wouldn't fall for such a crude provocation, and he didn't have much dissatisfaction. He just smiled casually.

"Your Excellency has also seen the military prowess of the elves. This time the elves will regard the dwarves as their main attack direction, but how can you and I guarantee whether they will let us exist next time!"

"Even though the elves have focused their main attention on the dwarf kingdom, if they hadn't underestimated the enemy and we had planned it properly, just because their army invading the northern border really wanted to confront us head-on, how many do you think we really have? Any chance of winning?"

Pernilai rarely calmed down her expression, and turned to look at the north with a serious face.

"The main body of my city-state has moved to the surface, and has cut off the way back, so if we want to survive, we can only take root on this land! I don't care what other matrons think or what their plans are, but in my opinion, if we can't If we seize the opportunity to weaken the elves and win over allies as much as possible, then the end of the whole family may be destroyed waiting for us.”

"Without me, the Hogia Federation, standing in the front to resist the elves, the Ring of Thorns organization that you have worked so hard to build will not be able to survive alone in front of the elves!"

"Although I admire your ability to manage tribes and forces, and I have witnessed the growth and development of the Ring of Thorns with my own eyes, please ask yourself, even if you are given a hundred years, what scale can your Ring of Thorns eventually develop into?"

"Perhaps by then your strength can compete with the current strength of my Hosea Federation?"

"But can you compete with the powerful Elf Kingdom?"

Each and every heart-wrenching question was directly spewed out by Penile, which not only left Allen speechless, but also the powerful men from various races such as Bobby and Tim who followed behind him lowered their heads in thought. , and among the drow mistresses, there was a doubtful one, and her face became a little more gloomy.

"Your Excellency, when we drow were struggling to survive in the underground world, we used countless blood to summarize a path: only the weak who can seize the opportunity and are willing to use their lives as a bet can create miracles and seek success in the cruel and ruthless reality. A glimmer of hope.”

"Faced with such a powerful being as the elves, it is wishful thinking to hope that one or two such victories can reverse the strength gap between them. But if we can seize the opportunity, we can weaken them with small victories ten or a hundred times. With their power, one day in the future they will no longer be strong, and we will truly not have to worry about their threat to us!"

"The gap in strength should never be a real concern for people like you."

Allen could finally see that Penile, the mistress, was very determined and determined, and what the other party said was like a wake-up call, which made Allen panic for a while, and a rare feeling of shame came to his heart.

With the action of concealing his mood, Allen pretended to glance around, but he was actually observing the attitudes of the thorn strongmen behind him.

Among the strong men of the wilderness who came with the army, except for the two masters Oscar from the Oak Holy See, the other strong men of the wilderness had some disapproval on their faces.

Although this cooperation with the Drow Federation was very successful, and the other party was very grand in terms of tactical arrangements and cleaning up the loot after the war, it could not stand up to the other party's image that had been solidified since ancient times. After all, his actions over the years still cannot make other strong men abandon their past grievances.

This time everyone worked together, mainly due to the push and persuasion of Alan, the demigod, everyone. Otherwise, they would not even appear under the Cold Wind Post in such a timely manner. Instead, they would follow the usual practice and wait until the drow arrived. After losing both sides with the elves, it was too late.

Now, no matter how touching the truth said by Pernilai is, everyone feels that the utmost benevolence and righteousness are fulfilled. Their thorn coalition injured 30,000 soldiers to help you relieve the siege and drove away the invading elven army. That is enough.

If you want them to follow the drow to do anything that requires sacrifice, then I'm sorry, they are not good men and women, and they won't be moved by a few words.

Shaking his head secretly in his heart, Allen then forced a laugh and interrupted Pernilai: "Everyone has worked hard today, why don't we take a rest first and let the generals relax!"

".All right."

Pernilai glanced at Allen, saw his unquestionable attitude, and finally nodded helplessly.

More than 200,000 troops from both sides set up camp outside the ruins of Hanfeng Hill, where thick smoke still rose. By the way, Drow also organized people to go into the ruins to search to see if there were any lucky ones who survived.
