Chapter 357 Allies(1/2)
The Snow Elves' Royal Court was built on a towering tree named "World Tree".
The magnificent building complex is the culmination of elf civilization and art.
This is the symbol of the elves and the center of power in the snow.
For thousands of years, the Elf Court has never experienced war. The heroic elves warriors and the cold winter can block any enemy trying to approach the Royal Court.
But this time... the World Tree was surrounded by a group of elves wearing green cotton coats.
The Royal Court Imperial Guards were guarding the world tree and were at a loss when faced with the war they had never thought of.
Large groups of pegasus circling in the sky.
There are several bombing giant eagle transport planes on standby in higher airspace.
The messenger has entered the royal court, hoping that His Majesty the Elf King will come out to talk to his best son in order to avoid the destruction of the World Tree in war.
A canvas pavilion with a long-lasting collar feature was supported under the shade of the World Tree, and Prince Elledo, who was wearing the same green military coat as his soldiers, sat under the pavilion.
Waiting for his father's response.
Without letting Elledo wait too long, the elderly elves walked out of the royal court with a cane under the protection of a large group of royal court guards.
"Sit down, father..."
Elledo stood up and invited the Elf King to sit down. Instead of calling him Majesty, he spoke to his father in the tone of a son.
The Elf King was very angry.
He was angry that his son actually led his troops to besiege the royal court and wanted to force the palace to seize the throne.
It was also angered that there was no general who could use it or an army that could fight in the snow. Elledo led tens of thousands of elves to the royal court and surrounded the World Tree.
I was even more angry just now in the palace and asked myself who would command the Royal Court Imperial Guards to fight Elledo...
No elf hero stood up.
Those sons who love to show off in front of them on weekdays all shrank and dared not speak.
In the end, he walked out of the royal court himself.
After sitting down, the Elf King still showed his king's majesty. He asked Elledo: "Do you know what you are doing? For thousands of years, no one dared to break the peace of the royal court.
Your actions are blasphemy against the World Tree and the Elves’ ancestors!”
Elledo looked up at the World Tree.
It is a tree that still grows green throughout the snow in winter. Its canopy with a diameter of 1,000 meters protects generations of elves ancestors.
Seeing that Elledo actually ignored him, the Elf King said angrily: "Elledo, don't go too far on the wrong road. I think you are confused by Yanxing from the Thunder Swamp.
Immediately cut off relations with Thunder Swamp and return to the royal court. You are still my most trusted son."
Hearing that the Elf King let himself sever his ties with Thunder Swamp.
Elledo pointed to the bomber in the sky and said to his father with a smile: "Father, do you know what that is? It was a giant torch bomber, made by Thunder Swamp.
It can fly at an altitude of 4,000 meters or even 8,000 meters. At that altitude, our Pegasus cannot fly at all.
Therefore it can throw bombs and magic on our heads. Although the high flying means the accuracy of bombing is low, it does not require too high precision to explode the World Tree."
The Elf King looked up at the sky, and through the edge of the treetops of the world tree, he could see several large aircraft circling slowly in the air.
After seeing the giant Touhawk's big plane, the Elf King said to Elledo: "Several aircraft of this kind cannot destroy the elves, and the snow is always the snow of the elves.
The spring breeze brought me some news from the south.
In this chaos that may affect the world, staying in the snow is the best choice.
If necessary, you can give up Frost Leaf City..."
Elledo shook his head helplessly at his father's words.
“Your choice, which I expected, was exactly what I was most worried about.
Today's elves are even worse than orcs in terms of national strength or civilization, let alone humans.
If our snow continues to be self-consistent, once we miss this opportunity, the gap between us and other races will widen to a distance that is irreparable to anything we do.”
Hearing that Elledo actually evaluated his race like this, the Elf King Phoenix shouted: "Elledo, remember your identity, you are a noble Elf Prince. Look at our World Tree and the Royal Court, which can make you evaluate the Elf so low.
In your eyes, we are not even as dirty orcs as dirty orcs!"
Elledo retorted loudly: "Father, how many years have you not left the royal court? Do you know what the life of the elf outside the royal court is like?
It took me less than three days to surround the royal court, which was absolutely impossible for orcs and humans.
And have you seen an elf army outside supporting the royal court?
No!
There will not be any more than ten days.
Because during this period, the snow elves only have these two troops that can fight with you and mine.
You didn't see what I saw, you didn't know how terrible it was.
Don't believe in the severe winter anymore.
This past winter is its last shelter to us.”
Although the Elf King was old, he was not confused. Of course, he knew that this winter and spring friendship was the weakest time when the snow was.
But how could he be willing to hand over the throne just like this?
"Our current lifestyle is the wisdom left to us by our ancestors. You said so much, but it is nothing more than to find yourself a reason to usurp the throne.
Don't think your cleverness can fool me.
There will indeed be no reinforcements coming to the royal court within ten days, but my Imperial Guard will definitely be able to guard it for a longer time.
Elledo, I'll give you one last chance.
If you withdraw your army, I... can make you the crown prince."
After listening to the words of the Elf King, Elledo burst into laughter.
"Father, your guards hide in the royal court and dare not fight me head-on. I don't need to attack the royal court and destroy the World Tree...
No elf understands the military system of snow better than me.
I have controlled all the roads and strategic places around the royal court, and any elves who come to support the royal court will be destroyed by me.
I'm just waiting here.
Wait for you to change your mind.
As long as you give me your throne in a legal way, I guarantee you and all the elves' safety."
The Elf King looked extremely bad when he was laughed at by Elledo.
The Royal Court Guards had never fought a war, while Elledo's army fought against orcs and humans on the windy high ground.
If you look at the fact that no elf hero is willing to command the Imperial Guards to fight against Elledo, you will know how big the strength gap between the two armies is.
A father and son meeting eventually led to the Elf King leaving angrily.
He returned to the royal court surrounded by his guards, but he still couldn't bear to leave his throne.
At this time, Elledo was gradually controlling important roads in the snow, and the blocked Eternal Territory mine fleet was released.
With the support of Thunder Swamp and no worries, Elledo wanted to perfectly complete the power alternation in the snow.
...
As Elledo entered the last journey of seizing power, Carol's messenger also flew back to Danling City from Eternal Leader on the Giant Tooehawk plane.
Danling City has changed the prosperous and harmonious atmosphere in the past.
The outbreak of the war brought a hint of tension to the city, and the constant good news made the city a little fanatical.
The bard played the harp in the square and in the tavern, singing the ballads of victory for the residents of the city, and also speaking the obscene jokes of Anderson.
In any war, it is important to be famous for the army, and participants claim that they are the party of justice to make sacrifices for the war.
The propaganda machine in the Principality was quietly moving.
The giant tortoise bombers brought by Mrs. Carol from the Thunder Swamp would fly over the city at a low altitude every once in a while, accepting the cheers of the whole city.
Even in the palace, the sound was heard clearly.
The Duke of Silvermane and Mrs. Carol are almost inseparable, just like newlyweds.
Mrs. Carol moved directly into the Duke's master bedroom and even attended the imperial meeting.
Suddenly he was already the Duchess.
The Duke of Silvermane and Mrs. Carol together, listened to the reply from the messenger in a greenhouse.
The Duke of Silvermane also asked in detail what he saw and heard in the Eternal Territory.
"Mr. Duke...I can hardly express my shock in Eternal Territory in words.
There, alchemy is in every corner where you can see it.
To be continued...
