Gold is Justice

It can be seen that this siege has fallen into the final encirclement. The soldiers of the mermaid army are now under siege and cannot break out in a short time.

"President! During the time I was trapped, didn't you have any other arrangements?"

Mochi opened his claws, coordinating with Cheese's elemental gun, rushed left and right surrounded by five monsters, and shouted loudly at the same time.

As for this question, Ariel can only say...

"It's time to come! If it's arranged in advance...it's time to come!"

Boom-!

A ball of fire impacted the cave entrances that were blocked by plants in an instant.

Accompanied by the treants howling under the ravages of the flames, an army dressed in silver helmets also rushed in from the entrance of the valley, actively joining the attack on the monsters.

As the soldiers shouted and killed, the pressure felt by Ariel's mermaid army suddenly dropped.She glanced at these soldiers wearing obvious storm armor, nodded slightly, and immediately shouted——

"Our allied forces have arrived! Soldiers! Now is a good time for us to counterattack the Demon King's army! Rescue our people and bring justice to this world!"

With the influx of a large number of human soldiers, the battle between the mermaid army and the elf army has finally completely transformed into a human alliance army fighting against the demon king army.

Perhaps for all the humans present, they felt that this was a great alliance, and it also meant that this battle would end with the victory of humans!

Especially for the soldiers of the mermaid army, the human alliance that was said to take 50 years to successfully unite, now under the diplomatic mediation of Ariel Garcia, it took only two years to unite A great empire!This will be a very powerful miracle!

It's just... Does anyone know...

What is the price?

——Three months ago, the Palace of the Prince of the Storm Empire——

When Kuang Lan Xifeng saw the emissary of the Elf King for the first time, he felt very surprised.

As the prince of a country, he had seen quite a few half-elves, but as long as he compared them with the pure-blooded elf in front of him, he could immediately tell the difference.

"His Royal Highness, Prince of Stormwind, I, Sofield Dawnwhisperer, am here to salute you on behalf of the Elf King."

Kuang Lan looked up and down at the elf who just bowed to him, but refused to kneel down. After a while, he waved his hand and said, "Wake up, get up. I wanted to find you, but I didn't expect Instead, you took the initiative to come to me?"

Sofield raised his head and said with a calm expression: "Attacking another country's diplomatic mission without authorization in another country, no matter what, I, as the representative of the Elf King, have the obligation to come and report to you. I am learning human etiquette The time is not long, I hope His Royal Highness can forgive me."

Kuang Lan got up from her seat and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, easy to say! Of course, if things like etiquette are needed, we should try our best, and if we don't need it, it's the same. Then..."

When the prince stood in front of Sofield, Kuang Lan seemed to want to let his body shape give him a little oppressive feeling.

However, this elf did not show the slightest fear of difficulties, and even when he looked up, he only showed calm emotions.Such emotions let Kuang Lan know that the person in front of him is definitely not simple.

"Let's skip the polite words. Tell me, your Demon King Army attacked the Mermaid Army on the territory of our Storm Empire, how do you want to give us a satisfactory answer now?"

Sofield paused for a moment, then said slowly: "Your Highness, do you really think we are the Demon King Army? Do you really think that our Elf King is the Demon King you are talking about?"

Kuang Lan sneered, put his hands behind his back, bent his waist slightly, made his sight line with this elf, and said with a little indifferent attitude——

"I don't know if you are the devil king or not, and I don't care. I won't assume you are the devil king just because the mermaid army says you are the devil king, just like I don't think those idiots in Blue Bay are preaching that the mermaid army is the devil king army all day long." I think they are the Demon King Army. In my opinion, whether it is the Mermaid Army, the Elf Army, or the Blue Bay Army, they are all a means of propaganda."

For Kuang Lan's understatement, Sofield did not show any unique emotions, but nodded lightly, and continued: "Your Highness, then I want to ask you, do you know about the demon banning before 1308?" war?"

Kuang Lan straightened her waist and let out a heck: "Our era is calculated based on this, what do you think?"

Sofield: "Then, may I ask, does your Highness know the specifics of the war against demons back then? For example, what did the demon king do back then that led to the formation of a joint army by humans? Another example, in the war against demons back then, why did the demon king end up?" Will be defeated?"

Regarding these questions, Kuang Lan seemed very indifferent, shook his head, and said: "The things that happened so long ago, almost all that should be forgotten. Now you can't even find any of them in our library. Books that record the war that year. Except for some illusory legends about brave men and demon kings that are occasionally mentioned in folklore, I don’t know anything. What? Can you tell me the answer now?”

Perhaps, Kuang Lan's rhetorical question was just a joke.But for Sofield, his next response made the smile on the face of the slightly teasing prince gradually withdrawn.

"Our elven king, that is, the demon king you humans call, the reason why he launched a war against all human beings back then was not to control the world, but to save the world."

Kuang Lan was a little surprised that Sofield easily admitted that the current Elf King was indeed the Demon King back then.But he continued to listen patiently, and then said, "What? Isn't it wrong for us humans to resist your aggression for a long time?"

Sofield shook his head slowly: "No, it's just that there is a problem with my king's method. He has been reflecting on it for thousands of years. It should be said that His Majesty at that time was too impatient, thinking that the whole world must be unified as soon as possible, and then be able to deal with problems better.”

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Kuang Lan: "Continue talking."

Sofield nodded: "This world is vast, but at the same time, this world is very small. It is said that it is vast because when you look around, no matter whether it is mountains, rivers or seas, it seems that there is no limit. It can be said that she Insignificant because, no matter where, all life seems to be unable to obtain peace and equality."

"My king wants an equal and fair world, a world where no matter what kind of life it is, it can be treated equally without distinction. At least, it is a world where all humanoid creatures can live without oppression. For such a world, my king must use power to achieve some things."

Kuang Lan stretched out his hand and touched the ground: "So, your elf king launched an invasion of the entire Golden Continent? Is there something wrong with your king's mind?"

Sofield: "It may seem unrealistic to you, but my king was indeed prepared to a certain extent. But at present, there are many mistakes in his operation, and even a lot of helplessness .My king killed many people who shouldn't be killed, and at the same time released many people who should be killed. His kindness and decisiveness formed a logical loophole that couldn't be consistent, which eventually led to his own failure."

Kuang Lan: "So? What does this have to do with you coming to me now?"

Sofield exhaled silently, and said: "Your Highness, if I tell you, the Elven King hopes that you can give up the imperial power, and also hopes that the current majesty of the Stormwind Empire will also give up the throne and entrust all the people to us to take charge of it." , would you like to?"

Kuang Lan: "Are you joking?"

Sofield: "If it is under the control of the empire, no matter who it is, there will definitely be class differences. There will be royal families like you, there will be noble families, and there will be lower-level civilians and even lower-level slaves. Regardless How fair and just they say it is, after all, it is not a kind of real fairness and justice.”

Kuang Lan: "So what? Are you here to declare war?"

Sofield: "Don't dare. I just want to say that these concepts were not thought up by my king thousands of years ago. Thousands of years ago, my king only had a vague concept of this, but he couldn't figure it out. What should I do, and I don’t know why.”

"But now, when my king interacts with human beings, he has discovered that a human being has unified this knowledge and written it into a book."

Kuang Lan took out a book from her arms and handed it forward——

"That's the book The Collapse of Empires."

After reading this book, Kuang Lan's eyes changed obviously.He didn't take it, but stepped back half a step like looking at a hot potato.It seems that this mere book is more difficult for him to deal with than a thousand troops.

Kuang Lan: "Where did you get it?"

Seeing that Kuang Lan didn't answer, Sofield naturally withdrew his hand, put the book back into his pocket again, and said, "Of course it's not in the territory of the Stormwind Empire. I know that all this book has been banned in your country, not only This is basically the case in your country, and it is basically the same in several other countries. Only a few areas with weaker control over their own country can these books be spread. So please rest assured, I am not in your country Purchased domestically."

After collecting the book, Sofield continued: "My king cherishes the woman who wrote this book very much. It can be said that for thousands of years, the problem that my king has never been able to figure out is that a young woman who has only survived for more than 20 years The human woman realized it. It was this woman who told my king that in order to achieve true fairness and justice, in addition to a strong military force, an appropriate theoretical basis is also required. Only with a sufficient theoretical basis can we It can make my king's army invincible and invincible."

Now, Kuang Lan no longer has that contemptuous attitude towards Sofield, he has become very cautious, even cautious to the point of extreme caution.

The prince took another half step back and said, "You Demon King Army...what exactly do you want to do?"

Sofield smiled slightly and said: "This sneak attack should cause the Mermaid Army to dispatch a large number of elite soldiers to look for the soldiers captured by us. If all the senior management of the Mermaid Army ran out during this dispatch, Then my colleagues will lead a large number of troops to attack their headquarters."

Afterwards, Sofield shook his head lightly: "However, I don't expect my colleagues to be able to achieve their goals smoothly. I will not doubt their loyalty, but I will doubt their strength. The mermaid army has the right time and place, and the Blue Bay Empire Several encirclement campaigns have failed, and it is a bit difficult for our army to attack the mermaids without touching Blue Bay."

"However, the failure of this siege is also part of the plan. My king needs such a failure to highlight the strength of the mermaid army."

"Since the mermaid army is already so powerful, as their power expands, do you think they will be confined to the small country of Blue Bay? Even if their army will not enter the sphere of influence of other countries, then Do you think their ideas will spread more widely?"

After thinking for a while, Kuang Lan finally came to her senses: "You... are you threatening me? No, it should be said that your demon king is using this little fish like a mermaid to threaten all the people on the entire Golden Continent. The foundation of the country!"

Sofield shook his head slightly, and from his expression, he seemed to completely disagree with this statement——

"Threats? No, we're not that interested."

He paused for a moment—

"This is a theory created by you humans. If this theory can really subvert your rule, then you imperial powers should use another set of theories to resist it. If you can't resist, then this is a normal historical process, yes Do not go against the tide."

"It's just that... this is not such a noble theory for us elves. Although His Majesty highly respects it, I just took a look at it and put it on the shelf."

Kuang Lan exhaled a little, and finally sorted out her mood, and said slowly: "I have said so much, you elves...or the Demon King Army, what exactly do you want to do?"

Sofield just said very simply: "What we want to do is very simple. It is to break your human alliance with the slightest loss. Let me tell the truth, the one who is really on the opposite side of us now is also There is only such a mermaid army. If the Stormwind Empire can help us wipe out the mermaid army..."

Hearing this, Kuang Lan rolled her eyes and suddenly became calm.He returned to his throne again, leaned against the back of the chair, and said with a smile: "So, after talking for a long time, you want to use these things to—"

"You guessed wrong, Your Royal Highness. What I want to say is that the extermination of the mermaid army is true, but the script I described is that you took the initiative to attack our elf army and defeated our elf army."

Kuang Lan froze for a moment, the script that he had originally envisioned in his mind was now completely reversed.

In this regard, Sofield did not give the prince a chance to ask questions, but said directly: "You heard me right, I hope you can defeat my army, and you don't have to think too much about the damage to my army. With the powerful strength of the Elf King , we can easily create a large number of fighters, which is almost harmless to us."

"As for the reason you want to ask, it is also very simple. We broke into your territory without authorization and disrespected you. This kind of thing should have been repaid by failure. This is a favor owed to you by the elf army. In addition, you can also fulfill your long-standing dream, and I will dedicate both hands to you what you are most looking forward to."

--Now--

What is Kuang Lan most looking forward to?

To be honest, since he entered this elf valley, he has been deeply fascinated by everything in front of him.

In just a few days, the only area that can be explored is only a small part, and there are almost a hundred times more exploration areas waiting for him to check!

Even if this elf valley has been abandoned by elves for more than 1000 years, so what?Even if it is abandoned, it means that there are countless treasures buried here, and there are countless secrets and knowledge waiting for people to discover and explore!

Not to mention other things, just this Elf Valley that appeared in the Stormwind Empire, even if it is re-excavated and built into another palace, that would be an excellent idea, let alone other things?

Therefore, from the time when he led the army into this valley and began to attack the demon army, Kuang Lan knew that what the elf wanted to present to him was the valley in front of him.

That elf, Sofield Dawnwhisperer, took this valley as a gift, as compensation for defeating him!

...but, is this correct?

Even though he watched his soldiers pouring into this valley continuously, and those strange and ugly monsters began to be gradually repelled, Kuang Lan still had a little vigilance and suspicion in his heart.

Either way, it's overblown and unrealistic.All of this made him feel that the elf was not very reliable, and he couldn't even fully trust him, so that he needed to keep part of the troops outside for guarding in case of various changes.

However, as the battle deepened, watching those monsters being killed one after another, everything in front of them seemed to have no change.Even that Sofield has disappeared now, and the battle has gradually subsided. This battle... should be considered over, right?

"His Royal Highness!"

Just when Kuang Lan was thinking, a pleasant voice suddenly rang in his ear.

Turning his head, he saw the leader of the mermaid army, the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life, running towards him quickly, with expressions of joy and gratitude written all over his face.

Looking at this woman, Kuang Lan suddenly felt something strange in her heart.

Now, I have taken control of this elf valley, and the rest only needs to be swept away gradually.It can be said that apart from the escape of the leader, everything else is under his control.

Not only this valley, even this little mermaid is now under my control...

"Your Highness, thank you very much for coming to help us at our appointment."

Faced with Ariel's thanks, Kuang Lan immediately restrained the inadvertent tremor in her heart, laughed again, and said: "It's a small matter, a small matter! Besides, when the other party is attacking foreign countries on my territory, this is enough to make me feel ashamed." I started this battle. You don't have to thank me!" Ariel was slightly relieved, although she had talked with the prince several times before, when she saw that he was really willing to stand up for the Human Alliance, Ariel I still start to admire the prince from the bottom of my heart.

She turned her head and looked at the area that was being swept up in front of her. Now she just waited for the soldiers to rescue all her members.

But at this moment, Kuang Lan beside him suddenly said: "Garcia, this valley belongs to me now. I want to let you and your mermaid army live here, how about it?" In this way, you don’t have to fight with Lan Wan in that place, and on the other hand, I can also give you some care.”
