Perhaps, while the forest elves are in confusion, the timing is just right to fight for the autonomy of Sanshi City.
If there is still a weight, the most important weight...
Phyllis fell into deep thought.
At this time, singing was heard again outside the villa.
"It is the Saviour who defends us,
The Savior is our shield, our King,
King of Elves, Savior,
Cheers to the Savior,
Cheers to the future of the elves..."
"The savior is our king?" Phyllis suddenly had an idea. She couldn't help but smile. Isn't this a perfect way to eliminate it?
"This group of people is so annoying. They have been making trouble for four days. Do we want to drive them away?" A subordinate came over and asked.
Phyllis shook her head: "Don't worry about them, this is Tianshen Mountain City, we have no right to interfere with other people's words."
Phyllis fell into deep thought again, noting the effect the song might have on Noru.
Noru, the great elder of the forest elves, is a childish ruler. Since the appearance of the savior, she has been eager to weaken the influence of the savior, that is, the influence of the dark elves. However, because of the unnecessary actions of the Black Beast Group, the influence of the savior and the dark elves has been further enhanced. Noru must have been thinking hard, and at this time, this song appeared.
That elder will definitely not be happy.
In this way, even if the forest elf city lords who secretly communicated with the savior proposed a motion to unite with the dark elves, Noru could overthrow it with just one order.
Phyllis clapped her hands and her confidant came over.
“The song I hear now…”
"...I'll find a way to make them shut up..."
Phyllis said to her confidant who did not understand her meaning, "On the contrary. The voice is too quiet. Find some more people to join in and make the singing louder."
Chapter 117 The situation is getting worse
Because the development of events was completely different from the script she had carefully planned...the great elder of the forest elves, Noru, kept sighing in his deep and quiet bedroom.
In order to curb the influence of the dark elves in the entire Beizhou, she wrote a letter deliberately provoking them. Her wishful thinking was: once the savior was furious and decided to break off diplomatic relations, she could use the noble forest elves' absolute voice in the entire elf community to cleverly accuse the other party of destroying unity, and then take advantage of the situation to establish a unified elf front with herself as the core.
However, the unexpected attack of the Black Beast Group and the response of the Dark Elves actually reversed the situation.
The Dark Elves once again repelled the Black Beasts after the battle at Otoko Castle. Moreover, this was the first time in hundreds of years of war between the Elves and the Orcs that the Orcs were defeated in a field battle. The significance of this was self-evident.
The savior, like a prophet, sent the hobbits to scout ahead of time. As a result, he really predicted it, and finally set up an ambush at the river and defeated the enemy.
After this battle, the savior's influence in the entire elf community was established. In the end, the Whetstone City even joined his side. Noru's original intention has now become a trap he dug himself. Not only did he shoot himself in the foot, but he also got into trouble because of the provocative letter.
Perhaps, why not take this opportunity to make peace with the other party? How about the two sides jointly establish a united country with Tenjin Mountain City as the capital of literature and Otoko City as the capital of martial arts? If it is through Norin, the lord of Toishi City, she will most likely be willing to lobby.
But this road is blocked.
In the eyes of most elven noble elders, dark elves are still aliens. If they want to be on equal footing with them, it will undoubtedly cause an uproar. There are already cracks within the forest elves, and the slightest disturbance may cause them to fall apart. Negotiating peace at this moment will not only fail to win back the hearts of the people, but will also chill the remaining supporters.
There is another point worth noting. The elves have been oppressed by the orcs for hundreds of years, and the resentment in their hearts has reached its limit. Now there is an elf savior who has defeated the strongest orc army, the Black Beast Group. If Noru gives in to him, the savior will naturally become the leader of more local elf lords. Moreover, the dark elves are standing behind him. At that time, the influence of the dark elves will become stronger and stronger.
"Damn Black Beast Group, they really know how to choose this time to attack!" Noru cursed with gritted teeth. She knew in her heart that now it would undoubtedly be even more difficult for her to hold on to the control of the elves.
“Is the western part of Beizhou really going to be handed over to that savior?” she murmured to herself, with a hint of self-abandonment and helplessness in her words.
"We can't let them grow any stronger." Naru thought to himself, frowning, "But how can we curb the expansion of this power..."
Just when she was worrying about it, a melodious song suddenly came into her ears:
"It is the Saviour who defends us,
The Savior is our shield, our King,
The throne is fit only for the savior,
Cheers to the Savior,
Cheers to the future of elves!"
The singing was passionate, and Noru suddenly raised his head with a hint of anger in his eyes.
"The throne is only fit for the savior?" she repeated in a low voice. The dignity of the ruler seemed to be ruthlessly trampled upon, and a surge of anger arose spontaneously.
"I am the ruler of the elves!" Noru burst into emotion, her voice trembling, and she shouted loudly, "Guards!"
Then, she almost roared, "Tell those people singing outside to shut up! I don't want to hear any more of this!"
As soon as the order was issued, before Noru had even sat down, a voice of opposition came into the room: "This won't work."
It was Phyllis who had just returned from reporting on her work. As she spoke, she walked into the room, followed by several elf ministers.
"Are you trying to say that the Great Elder should not be me, but the savior of mankind?"
Noru questioned unhappily.
"Everyone has the right to sing. This cannot be prohibited. To be able to recognize this is a magnanimous king. If you prohibit it, you will be slandered as a narrow-minded king."
Phyllis seemed to be deliberately making Noru feel bad today. She stood at the height of the king's way and pointed out Noru's shortcomings mercilessly. Noru was speechless for a moment, and it was difficult for him to refute Phyllis's preaching.
"But I'm not happy." Noru confided: "The dark elves have made great achievements, and the influence of the savior is growing. I am also very unhappy."
Phyllis replied:
"The influence of the dark elves has grown again. The savior has become a hero. There is no opposition to him in the western part of Beizhou. Recently, he has even influenced us. I believe that it won't be long before the city lords from all over the country will give him advice and support to export more benefits to him. Maybe someone will recommend the savior as the protector of our entire elf race."
Upon hearing this, a minister hastily added:
"This is absolutely not allowed, Great Elder. The western part of Beizhou has completely fallen into his hands. Once he becomes our protector, those dark elves will legally become our national defense force. His influence will be out of control. This is absolutely not allowed."
If Savior 2 becomes the protector, Dark Elf Zero's status will rise. In other words, Dark Elf 5's power will expand. This must be avoided.
Keeping them in the western part of Beizhou is the forest elves' last bottom line.
"But right now, we have to do something about it. A few days ago, Mizili went to Otoko Castle in person to apologize on my behalf. To be honest, this has already made me very unhappy. Do I have to continue to bow my head now?"
In response to what Noru said, the Minister of Finance suggested:
"Then... give him some benefits. When we were discussing who we should ally with, we suggested forming an alliance with the dark elves. Or we can change our mindset and appoint the savior as the lord guarding the western part of Beizhou. In this way, if the savior intends to covet the position of the Elf King, it would be equivalent to betrayal. By then, the hero will become an ambitious person, and those who support him will shut up."
Does this method really work? Noru pondered.
"It's too late to talk about this now."
In the end, Noru did not agree.
After this brief sentence, no more words.
Three days later, the number of men and women gathered around the palace tripled. People drank and sang loudly, and marched around the city in a grand procession.
"The protector of this country is the Savior King,
The shield of this country is the Savior,
With the Savior King here, we have nothing to fear,
The chief elder is good for nothing, and the ministers are also good for nothing.
The Savior King is here,
Savior King, Savior King, our Elf King!"
The procession unexpectedly encountered Noru's carriage on its way back to the palace. Noru was in the carriage, listening to the ballad praising the savior. Three days ago, in front of the ministers, he managed to hold back, but today the lyrics touched his sore spot even more fiercely.
"The great elders and ministers are also useless? The savior reigns over the world? What savior king! I am the ruler of the forest elves! I am also your king!" Noru roared in his heart.
"Should we tell them to shut up?"
The captain of the Zero Guards asked, almost letting her do so. But what stopped this idea was Phyllis's reminder.
He would be slandered as a less generous king.
8 This one is exempted.
liuA king who doesn't listen to others. A king without a broad mind. I don't want to be that kind of king. I want to be a king with a broad mind.
"I will be slandered as a king without capacity."
De Che Tui muttered to himself, trying to suppress his anger. Seeing this, the captain of the Royal Guard quietly withdrew. But the parade songs still resounded through the sky.
"The great elder is useless, and neither are the ministers or the army.
The King of the Scattered Elves reigns supreme over the world!"
Liu Nuolu clenched his fists and his teeth were chattering.
Chapter 118: Statement of the Luxie Envoys
Mizili had also heard about the ballad that resounded throughout the entire Tenjin Mountain City and even spread to the elf tribes in the eastern part of Bijuu. When she and Akashi City Lord Liu, who was the forest elf city lord who came to Otoshi City with Mizili and was taken by Lin Rui to test the medicine that night, fell to the ground after only one mouthful, and now, like Mizili, was Lin Rui's secret agent in the forest elves. When the two arrived at the easternmost end of the dark elf forces, Toishi City, and were warmly welcomed by the city lord Norin, Liu received news from his retainers who stayed in the territory that the forest elves were singing the hymn praising the savior everywhere.
Although it was a song praising the Savior, when Mizili, Liu and Norin sat together and discussed it, they immediately concluded that someone was doing it on purpose. They knew very well that once such a song reached the ears of the elves who opposed the Savior, such as the Great Elder Noru, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction.
Mizili also wanted to propose a motion to form an alliance with the dark elves at the next court meeting.
Should they form an alliance with the dark elves and establish a united elven nation, or go it alone and face the pressure of the orc nation alone? Because Mizili was not around, Noru was reluctant to make up his mind. During this period, songs praising the savior appeared day after day, but today, they have directly evolved into criticisms of the great elder Noru and her ministers.
Mizili knew that the sudden appearance of this song was definitely not a good thing. In the past, she would have ignored these songs. But now she has changed her stance and started to push for the Savior. She even wants everyone to accept the dark elves led by the Savior to join the elf system and establish a united country.
Now I have to give up...
Mizili felt something was wrong, so she only rested for a while at Norin's place, and then continued on her journey with Liu and the guards.
When Mizili and Liu arrived at Tenjinyama Castle with mixed feelings, they came across a hymn praising the savior.
"Liu, this scene is really lively... It's really a pity that some people have ulterior motives... They must have spent a lot of money."
Mizili's mind worked quickly, and she immediately realized that there must be a force behind these songs. The purpose of those people was nothing more than to make the Great Elder Noru hear them and break off with the dark elves in anger. After all, if they really sang praises to the savior, why was the savior's base, Otoko City in the west, not so lively?
Since the hymns did not come from west to east, it was obvious that the forces in the east were causing trouble.
Was it the orc-controlled Bijuu Nagisa Castle? Or was it the entire Urakami Province? Either of these places could be the source of this hymn.
"Should we send someone to disperse them?" Liu gently lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and looked at the elves outside who were drinking and partying.
disperse?
Liu's words made Mizili fall into deep thought. She couldn't help wondering why the great elder Noru didn't order the dispersal of these singing spirits? Such singing would definitely make Noru unhappy.
Thinking of this, Mizili suddenly realized that it must be Phyllis who had returned to Tenjin Mountain Castle earlier who was causing trouble.
"Everyone has the right to sing. If it is deprived, the king will be accused of being without measure," Mizili murmured to herself. She seemed to hear Phyllis's cunning voice.
In other words, did Phyllis take refuge with Urakami? Mizili shook her head. It was too early to draw this conclusion.
That guy is a man who changes his attitude according to the situation. I'm afraid he is just taking advantage of the spread of the song to take advantage of the situation.
The Dark Elf Army led by the Savior has repelled the Black Beast Group time and time again. The Black Beast Group must hate the Dark Elves even more and must be on high alert against the Savior.
Such actions aimed at sowing discord between the dark elves and neighboring countries were to be expected.
It's just a ballad... It's very likely that Urakami is behind it, and it has nothing to do with the Black Beast Group. Unless, Urakami and the Black Beast Group have already colluded secretly.
According to the information transmitted by Liu's retainers, there had been proposals in previous court meetings to recognize the Savior as a vassal, and even more extreme proposals to establish two capitals and a united nation between the forest elves and the dark elves.
These proposals may sound like fantasy, but if they are really implemented, it will be difficult for the Black Beast Group and Urakami Kuni to find an opportunity to take advantage of. Maybe they will change their strategy and take the initiative to show goodwill.
But if this is really done, then the influence of the Savior among the elves...
Before he entered the gate of Tianshen Mountain City, his guards brought him news.
"Lord Mizili, Great Elder Noru is holding a court meeting and receiving the peace negotiation delegation that escorted Lord Lushe. The head of the delegation is preparing to report to the Great Elder."
Peace negotiation mission?
Although Luxie had taken refuge with Lin Rui, they did not embarrass the envoys who came with Luxie and directly sent them back to Tianshen Mountain City. Because the relationship between the two sides was tense during this period, everyone almost forgot about this group of people.
Tsk. If only she could listen to what these people said before they reported it to the Great Elder. There was no other way to tell her what to report and what to suppress.
"I'll go to the court meeting now. Liu, you go and rest first. We can talk about the report tomorrow."
"I understand." Liu also realized the difficulty of the matter and immediately nodded in agreement.
When Mizili arrived at the audience hall, she found that the Chief Justice, the Chief Secretary, the Bishop, the Treasurer and other officials had already arrived, and even Phyllis was allowed to attend the meeting.
In front of him, the head of the diplomatic corps was kneeling on one knee.
The great elder Noru, wearing a bright red pajamas embroidered with gold thread, looked like he had just woken up.
"Mizili! Isn't this Mizili? Great! You came at the right time. We are listening to the report of the diplomatic corps, and you just came back from Otoko Castle. Let's listen together and give some suggestions. You can start..."
