Alien Arms Empire

 Chapter 15671568 The Elf in Dilemma

Within the capital of the Yangmu Empire, His Majesty Emperor Yangmu I was sitting in his seat, tapping his handrails with his fingers, making a crisp, not harsh sound.

It is a pure gold armrest, and it is cold and cold when you hold it with your fingers, which makes people very comfortable. The entire chair is made by the skilled craftsmen of the elves. It is round and complex, showing the unique luxury of the elves.

The elven nobles have not been having an easy time in the past few days, because they are all worried about one thing, and that is whether to offend a distant, powerful and terrifying ally, in order to avoid the fate of being devoured by this ally.

 The elves are not fools, on the contrary, they have many smart people. These people know very well that once the Ice Empire is defeated, there will no longer be any so-called security in their northern border.

Humans, or the people of the Tang Dynasty, hope to return to their lost homelands. These homes include the Everwinter Port that was taken away by the Ice Empire, and of course the Rewind Port occupied by the elves, as well as Beiling further south on the southern border of the Elf Poplar Empire. , Bunas…

These cities and rich ports were all the property of the former Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and were built by the human hands who now call themselves Tang people.

  If retaking Everwinter Port is their goal, then taking back Rewind Port is of course their goal too! The "Two Emperors Alliance" between the Yangmu Empire and the Tang Empire was not unbreakable. On the contrary, this alliance had long existed in name only.

However, the two sides are still very friendly on the surface. With this friendly appearance, the Yangmu Empire is actually acquiring a lot of technology from the Tang Empire. This is another "benefit" that the elven leaders do not want to give up easily.

 So, now within the Yangmu Empire, two voices are constantly interfering with the decision-making of the emperor Yangmu I, making the ancient elf empire's response slower and slower.

The peace faction headed by Grand Duke Leibert believes that as long as it maintains friendly relations with the Tang Empire, the Tang Empire has no reason to continue to invade the elves southward, and the contradiction between the two sides is not irreconcilable.

They feel that as long as the elves return Rewind Port to the Tang Empire, and then "piously" offer their own compensation, such as ceding Osa Port, then the Datang Empire will ensure the safety of the Yangmu Empire.

Of course, this is all their wishful thinking. As for whether there is any concrete guarantee for this statement, they themselves cannot produce anything reliable to support their views.

 Hence, His Majesty the Elf Emperor, who has struggled all the way from Yang Mu XI to become Yang Mu I of the current Elf Empire, does not intend to put his country and his personal destiny in the hands of the Lord Harmony Faction.

Who doesn’t know that Duke Leibert has a son who is doing well in the Tang Empire? Even if he surrenders and goes to the Tang Empire, he will still have a decent old age?

 There are more war-fighting factions within the Yangmu Empire, and the emperor himself seems to be more inclined towards this faction. It's just that they have no way to guarantee a solution to the current problem.

Everyone thinks that the Tang Empire should be prevented from landing in the Ice Empire, but there are always different opinions on how to prevent it.

Some people think that the dwarves of the Ice Empire should be fully supported, giving money to money and guns to guns, until the Tang Empire is driven into the sea.

 But this statement will make the elves face the anger of the Tang Empire. When the relationship between the two countries deteriorates, the losses of the elves will immediately affect people's livelihood, which is almost intolerable. What's more, the dwarves had fought a war with the elves that lasted for more than a year. Both sides suffered heavy losses. Supporting the dwarves could easily arouse resistance among the grassroots people.

 Other people think that some supplies should be secretly supported, but they must not be shown openly. This is basically tantamount to deceiving oneself and others. If the intelligence department of the Tang Empire really finds evidence, the fate of the elves will not be better than that of the current Ice Empire.

What's more... In the current battlefield situation, what's the point of supporting the dwarves in a secretive manner? Seeing that the Tang people had already established a foothold on the coastline, giving the dwarves some rice, white flour, peanuts, etc. would not change the situation of the war at all.

To put it bluntly, the elves now immediately declare war on the Tang Empire, and then mobilize one million troops to march north to support the dwarf empire’s counterattack. It’s hard to say whether they can win or not. Give them two cannonballs today and three cans tomorrow. Damn it if the aid would be useful.

But procrastinating like this is not a good thing, because time has almost forced the elves into a corner: if they don't make a decision, it means they have made a decision.

Yes, if they don't send troops to help the dwarves fight, it will be equivalent to acquiescing to the request of the Lord He Faction. When the time comes, they will cede land and pay compensation...that will be a small matter.

"Have they been arrested?" After silence, Yang Mu I finally asked something that seemed to have nothing to do with today's issue.

However, the Prime Minister, who was stunned for a moment, still knew that when His Majesty the Emperor asked this question, he seemed to have made some kind of decision.

"Your Majesty! The editor-in-chief of that newspaper and the person who wrote the news have been arrested." He replied immediately, then lowered his head and waited for His Majesty the Emperor's reprimand.

That newspaper encouraged the elven people to spread rumors that the empire was preparing to betray its alliance and get involved with its former enemies, the dwarves. It would be a matter of course for them to be arrested.

However, the arrest of the main person in charge of the newspaper that created the conflict between the Ice Empire and the Poplar Empire obviously means that His Majesty the Emperor has begun to prepare for large-scale aid to the dwarves.

 At least, the empire has given the green light to the originally secretive railway transportation, allowing goods from the south to be continuously sent to the territory of the icy empire, which is struggling.

"Prime Minister... I don't know whether this is right or wrong... but if I don't do anything, I will obviously regret it in the future." Yang Mu I said to his confidants in a heavy tone, as if to explain, He also seemed to be convincing himself.

“I also believe that allowing the Tang people to expand indefinitely on the Eastern Continent is not a good thing for the empire.” The prime minister bowed his head and agreed with his emperor.

"Even if we are all going to die in the end, we should die standing standing. This is the dignity of an elf." Yang Mu I raised his chin: "The fate of elves must be in their own hands! Tell the dwarf envoy... if They need it, and we are willing to provide...all the help we can!”

"Then... over there with the Tang people." The prime minister reminded.

"Wait until they come to us..." After Yangmu I finished speaking, the hall fell into silence once again.
