Chapter 25 Siege

"Elder, it's not good!!"

After waiting for three days in anxiety, Bilfit received another bad news.

Emperor Su of Ming Gaojia sent 20,000 troops, led by General Sears, and had already arrived in Meili.

The goal of this march is very clear, aiming to drive the night elves out of Merry.

"This is not good..."

“It’s really bad for us.”

The four elders of the night elves gathered together and discussed the urgent news that had just been sent from the Ming Sufa.

"Should we think of a countermeasure before this news is returned to the Night Capital?" Wallace, as the most senior night elf elder of Merry, first expressed his opinion; "It is best to transfer the Ice Tribe of White Rose to solve the current urgent need."

"That's not possible! If we mobilize tribal troops, humans will have reason to drive us out of Merry. Don't forget that we are just in trade with humans now, and we have finally improved a little. If there is a mistake at this critical moment, will the efforts of these months be wasted?" Another elder Wall did not agree with the proposal.

"If Meili is occupied by Mingsu's army, then we will have worked hard in vain in the past few months." The third elder, Sant, was also a war-firm faction.

In this way, because the abyss priest Thorne has returned to the Night Capital, and the only one who still has the right to speak and decide is the new elder Bilfit.

Seeing that the other elders were looking at him, Bilfet sighed, "Although I do not advocate the war with humans when the Night Elf Kingdom is still perfect, if we give up the city of Merri, which we have worked hard for the past few months, the losses will be absolutely incalculable. First, if we lose the ground base, you and I will inevitably be punished by the Great Elder and the Priest. Secondly, the Night Elf has invested a lot of money and energy in Merri. If we give up at this time, it will be difficult to find a suitable city in the future. This is our best and only opportunity, so I agree with the decision of Elder Sant and Elder Wallace to stay in Merri. However, we also have to face difficulties. At present, our biggest crisis is that the city's defense is obviously insufficient. As the back door of Merri, White Rose must not be empty. The Ice Tribe must be stationed there to guard against orcs at any time.

The attacks that can be launched, last time in the White Rose battle, they lost the lifespan of tens of thousands of soldiers, and this battle will be fought sooner or later. Although it is impossible to launch a large-scale attack like a few months ago, they will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to launch a travel war. Don’t forget that in order to open up the economic market, we did not prevent the orcs from entering the city. Maybe their spies have already sent back the current situation in Meili back to the orc base camp. The only hope is the reinforcements of the Night Capital. If we mobilize a large number of troops, it will inevitably arouse the disgust of the residents in the city. Although we have driven the economy of Meili City, we still have no firm foothold. The support of merchants and civilians is the only amulet of the Night Elf tribe. If the people are lost at this time, then Mingsu and other human countries will have more reason to launch a larger army and completely lift the forces we have cultivated from Meili."

"Indeed..." Elder Wallace pondered for a long time, but could not think of any good way to deal with the upcoming Ming and Su army. Although the 20,000-strong organization is not large, if the war really starts, the number of the Night Elf clan will definitely drop sharply. This is not welcome to see the Senate and Temple located in high-level decision makers.

"The most troublesome thing now is that I am afraid that Mingsu will adopt a policy that only targets the dark night. The nobles and merchants in the city will drive us out of the city for their own interests. So the only thing to do at present is to win over the people to our side, so Mingsu's army may be afraid of the enemy." As soon as Bilfit's suggestion was proposed, it was immediately questioned by the anti-war factions.

"What if Ming Su attacked the lives of the residents in the city without regard to the lives of the city? Meili is located in the sparsely populated Sunlight Plain. Even if the Ming Su army massacred the city here, it can still be put on our heads. At that time, they had more reason to prevent our tribe from returning to the ground."

"The only way to do this is to let go is to see if the Night God Haas can protect us through this difficulty." Bilfit had no other better suggestions for Elder Wall's doubts.

The debate continues, but under the already white night sky, a neat army has arrived on the Sunlight Plain not far from the outskirts of Meili City.

"Genius General, the city of Meili does not seem to know that our army has blocked all the roads leading to the city." The scout told the leading general the news he had detected.

"Very good. The later they know, the better it will be for us." Alanzo Eninvia Sears, who was riding a black earth dragon, was walking in the front of the team, bit his fingernails and signaled the scout to continue to explore Merry's movements.

The soldiers and upper-class nobles of the Ming Su Empire knew that whenever Sears bit his left thumb, he was in the most joyful mood.

Alanzo has a very decent appearance and is a middle-aged man in his early forties. The armor on his chest is engraved with the double sword logo, which shows that he is a high-ranking knight. Only by passing the knight assessment can he enjoy the medal of courage that represents the knight's honor.

The light brown hair and wheat-colored skin clearly pointed out that Sears had the blood of the Polic, and the former Valf Kingdom royal family married Marshal Su's only daughter as a declining nobleman. His political career has been smooth since then, and he became a general of a country at the age of 32.

Since Bai Ling learned from him a year ago that the Truths who were framed by them had escaped from Grigg Prison, Alonzo had never slept for a day. He always woke up from nightmares and constantly had the hallucination of Moya coming to take revenge.

After thinking about it, Alangzo agreed to Bai Ling's proposal. Taking advantage of the current civil strife in Mingsu, he pulled down the new emperor, who had not yet sat on his butt from the throne of the king of a country. Being an emperor is much better than worrying that his secret will be discovered all day long. Once he becomes an emperor, no one dares to discuss his right or wrong, and he will not be dismissed because of his disgraceful past.

After some lobbying, Emperor Gao Jia finally agreed to send troops to Meili.

Even if there are only 30,000, it is enough to deal with the imperial capital that does not have enough troops to defend. After driving the night elves away, taking advantage of the emperor's city to welcome victory and returning to the army is the best time to overthrow Gao Jia's rule. The mentally retarded who only knows how to mess with women all day is not worthy of being the ruler of the empire.

With the commander's big hand waved, the Ming and Soviet troops accelerated their progress towards Meili.

************************************

"Elder, Ming Su's army has appeared in the Sunlight Plain!!" The elf patrol team set up outside the city found the army approaching and immediately reported to the elder.

"So fast?!" Before the result was discussed, the enemy had already appeared, and the four elders were shocked and anxious.

"What should we do now? The combat power we currently have is absolutely unable to resist the 30,000 enemy troops. I am afraid that we will not wait for reinforcements from the Night Capital, and we will be driven out of Merry by the residents of the city..." Wallace turned his attention to Bilfit. At this time, he might have any good suggestions.

"I have a good idea."

A familiar voice came from the door.

"Sistar!!"

Bilfit's newly unfolded smile froze immediately after seeing the male elf alone; "Where is Moya? Why didn't she come back with you?"

"Don't worry, she's right behind me. I just set off half a day in advance and won't fall too far at her speed."

"I heard that you and the high priest went to the swamp? Is there such a thing?" At such an emergency, Wallace still did not forget to take up the elder's airs; "Don't you know that night elves are forbidden there?!"

"Elder, the High Priest will personally give you an explanation about this matter." Although he has the identity of a paladin in the Temple of War, Sistaer is just the son of the patriarch of the Nine Great Tribes, a knight of the Abyss, and his status and position are lower than that of the elders. Apart from the Chief of the Sacrifice and the Great Elder, only Moya can suppress these proud and old men.

Although the appearance is still like when I was young, the inside is like ripe fruit, completely rotting from the inside out. Apart from killing, blood and power, other trivial matters can no longer arouse their interest. If it were not for the purpose of fighting for power to return to the future, these dark tribes who have been in the underground for the rest of their lives would never leave the familiar environment and go to the city where humans live. Like contempt for humans, the mixed-race Sistale naturally would not have received the respect and recognition of the old stubborn. In the eyes of most night elves, he was still an outsider.

"You!" Hearing that Sistaer was using the war priest to suppress him, Wallace stood up angrily, thinking about whether he should teach this ordinary noble without rules. At this time, another report from the patrol team came - Ming Su's army appeared in the Sunlight Plain!!

"Humans are so low. When I entered the city, the Ming Su army had already arrived at the Sunlight Plain. I have not found any traces of the enemy yet. It's really..." Sistaer ignored Wallace's bloody gaze and directly conveyed Moya's message. "The high priest has a plan to deal with Ming Su, but it requires the cooperation of all elders. If we can temporarily let go of prejudice and work together, we can overcome the difficulties in the moment. If we have to fight for who should have the right to manage the earth, we will lose the city of Meili, which has worked hard to manage Shuyue, and the elders will suffer losses when they return to the Night Capital. After all, the high priest unravels the curse of the Emerald Valley and retrieves the "cursing authority" left behind. For the sake of this contribution, the chief of the priest will never punish the high priest, but... the elders will inevitably be fully responsible for the loss of the ground base."

"Moya...how do she want us to cooperate?" Bilfit calmed down. His mind changed and knew that what Sistale said was true. Moya never did anything without a chance of winning. Since she had already said that she had planned it, she would definitely succeed.

"Tell me, we... try to cooperate as much as possible." After staring at each other three elders, led by Wallace, finally agreed with Sistale's statement. After all, how angry would the Great Elder and the Chief of the Sacrifice be if they lost Merry, the ground base that had just become a prototype? It would be better to cooperate with the High Priest. Maybe things will really turn around as she thought.

"First of all, gather all the nobles and wealthy businessmen in the city. Of course, don't miss those presidents, they will be an important role in our victory."

"Do!Do!Do!"
