Magic Tower Starry Sky

But this fact also ignited a glimmer of hope in the old king's heart. If this power can be mastered, recreating the splendor of the Elven Empire is not a distant dream. So I asked: 'Your Majesty Ridan, you said that you can't master this... well, flash teleportation magic. So how do you use it? '

What was supposed to be a military secret, but Ridan III did not think about concealing it, and said frankly: 'Every squadron will have a messenger, carrying a teleportation staff made from a World Tree split. But the activation of magic, the choice of destination, and the consumption of power all come from the World Tree itself. The stick holder is more similar to the flag officer, who gathers the team with the flag. '

'There is no way to control the destination of the teleportation? ’ asked the old elf king slightly disappointed.

‘Perhaps the stick holder can try to make a suggestion to His Majesty World Tree, but it is unknown whether that person will accept it. After all, this is a legion-level teleportation, and the consumption is quite considerable. It is impossible for the World Tree to obey the orders of the elves, even if it is the king of a country like you or me. '

As honest as the young Elf-king spoke, so disappointed was the old one. In the end, the power that all rulers and military commanders dream of is in the hands of plants. Disappointment is not enough to describe my current feeling.

Is World Tree's decision-making easy to dominate? Looking at history, most elves have to go through specially selected priests to communicate with the world tree. It is not uncommon for priests who have gone through several generations to fail to receive the oracle from this giant tree, which is regarded as the mother of life. After all, this group of plants, which are almost constant, don't care much about the changes in the world.

Since it looked like he couldn't get the benefits he wanted, Andre Priel, the elf king, regained the majesty of the lord of a country, without thinking that he was already under the sword of others, and said:' Your Majesty Ridan, if you cannot offer a good enough price, it will be difficult for me to convince my people that it is acceptable to liberate the World Tree and let the kingdom lose its protection. If it's just because you have already controlled the palace, it's not a good reason to raise the butcher's knife to our necks. You are also the leader of an elf kingdom, and you should also understand that our crown is not a gift from God or God. Only with the support of the people can we have power. '

What Andre Priel said was precisely the uniqueness of the elf kingdom's political system. Although it looks like a monarchy, in fact, within the kingdom, the archdruids, elf elders, etc. also have a considerable right to speak. Even if a national policy is arbitrarily decided by the king without the consent of these people, it may not be truly implemented in the kingdom. For the resistance to 'random life', the elves have slipped away.

So seriously, the system of the Elven Kingdom is closer to a republic. It's just that the position of 'Speaker' is called 'King', and it is hereditary based on blood. Under this system, all national policies need to have a reasonable and righteous name to convince all the people and make all the elves willing to abide by them.

Using coercion to force the king's head to nod does not mean that the entire kingdom will succumb. If the purpose of the high-ranking members of the alliance is to restore the consciousness of the World Tree while maintaining the stability of the kingdom, and to be able to cooperate with it, their support will definitely be needed. Under this premise, the exchange of interests will be more beneficial than coercion by weapons.

That's what Andre Purrier said inside and outside the box. And it also implies a threat. As far as a king is concerned, even if he agrees temporarily, there are not many ways to hinder him later. As long as one or two tricks work, it will be exhausting for the World Tree side.

Although Ridan III is not as experienced as the king in front of him, and cannot understand the deep meaning, it does not mean that he is insensitive, and cannot even understand the superficial meaning. But what he could respond was still a wry smile and said: 'Your Majesty Andre, do you know that this attack has a four-stage plan. '

Although I heard the other party mentioned which stage was mentioned before, the old elf king didn't care much. Until the young king in front of him mentioned it again, Andre Priel just said: 'I would like to hear more about it. ’ But he held the idea of ​​just listening to it.

Ridan III could still hear the perfunctory meaning in the words. It's just that if you don't say what you want to say about this matter, it seems that it will lead to very bad results. So for the experienced king in front of him, the young man still said: "Regarding the liberation of the World Tree, the plan for the Kingdom of Amelan is divided into four stages. The first stage is to negotiate directly with your country by Magician Tripwood, and negotiate related matters. This stage is too idealistic, and basically no one thinks that things can be solved so easily. —'

Andre Prior nodded in the same way. It is unreasonable to let oneself give up control of World Tree with just a few words. In fact, the magician also understood that such an action was just a formality, in order to rationalize the next action.

'—The second stage is to deploy troops and control the palace. It is hoped that the purpose will be achieved through the limited use of force. The lowest degree of damage is allowed, and self-protection is the main process in the process. Generally speaking, I don't want to be in a situation of endless death. '

Hearing this, Andre Prior could not help but frown. If the current situation is only the second stage, what will be the arrangement for the next stage?

'The third phase of the plan is to exclude hostile people and support friendly people. After controlling the high level of the kingdom, if the opponent still refuses to cooperate, he will take his life. But under the principle of not wasting manpower in other countries, we will not send any manpower to the kingdom. Besides, if outsiders want to control a country, they need to spend ten times or a hundred times their energy and strength. This is obviously not the focus of our goal. Then the best way to control the kingdom is to select good people who are willing to accept our conditions from the families of the princes and ministers who were killed, and support their successors to the vacant positions. In this way, the goal of liberating the World Tree can be achieved, and at the same time, the external contradictions of the kingdom can be turned into internal contradictions. Reduce the difficulty of maintaining the stability of the World Tree by consuming the internal strength of the kingdom. '

Hearing the third phase of the plan at first glance, Andre Prior also had to admit that it is indeed feasible. If the second phase of the plan does not work well, the invaded country can play hide-and-seek with the aggressor by playing hide and seek with the aggressor. As far as the kingdom is concerned, it is very easy to integrate all the people if the whole country is united to the outside world.

But in the third stage, the power of the kingdom will turn from external to internal traitors. And because it is a civil strife, it is inevitable that there will be neutral factions who do not want to offend on both sides, or want to please both sides. At that time, if you want to fight against the invaders, you will have to pay more.

It's just that Andre Prior also thought that the prerequisite for the success of the plan at this stage is that someone will betray. His face was expressionless, but his words showed disdain, and he said: 'Your Majesty Ridan, you are also the lord of a country, how can your subjects betray you so easily? Not to mention selling the world tree belonging to our country. Such a plan is an insult to our country just by proposing it. '

‘Yes, Your Majesty Andre, I originally thought the same way. But the reasons given by His Excellency Tripwood made me think about the possibility of completing the plan at this stage. '

'Oh, what did the magician say? '

'For those who are quite low in the line of succession and may never have the chance to be close to these thrones in their lifetime, it is agreed to let them take something that does not belong to them in exchange for the opportunity to sit on that throne Elves, is there really none? What if it is those elves who already have ambitions? That person also said something that impressed me deeply: It's not that men can't betray, but the price is not enough; it's not that women can't cheat, but they just don't have enough temptation. Can His Majesty Andre guarantee that there are no people with such thoughts among his subjects? '

As if infected by the young king's wry smile, Andre Priel couldn't help but grimace, thinking about this very possible thing. His control over the kingdom has not reached the level of pervasiveness. Therefore, ambitious people are bound to exist, and whether they will easily bite the bait that looks sweet but is actually poison is beyond my control.

Suddenly, Andre Prior thought of one thing. This plan has four stages; the third stage has been played to this extent, so the fourth stage should not be...

'The plan for the fourth stage is that when no one can find anyone to fill the vacant position of the kingdom's ruling class, and the people are not afraid of force and coercion, and resolutely resist, World Tree His Majesty will choose~www.NovelMTL. com~Ridan III, could not help showing a little sympathy in his eyes,'—Tu Guo. '

It really is this one. The old king let out a long sigh as if he was about to let out the depression in his chest.

In fact, from the magician's words, Andre Prior could feel the attitude of disregarding life. Because the other party has treated everyone as a **** from the very beginning, and it is the kind that can give up at any time.

Of course the old elf king knew how to play chess, and was even a good player at it. When he noticed the attitude of the magician, he also wanted to take the opportunity of refusal to find time to warn the magician that not everyone is qualified to be a chess player.

Unexpectedly, the opponent directly flipped the table, making his good game of chess disappear. What's more, as far as the eyes can see, the opponent's chess is all around, and he has nothing to play.

Where is the bottom line of the opponent's determination? Negotiating with people without hesitating to slaughter a country, no matter who the opponent is, those who stand on the opposite side will be at a disadvantage from the very beginning.

As for whether the other party has the ability to do it, Andre Prior didn't even want to ask such a question. Twenty-one World Trees and half an elite army wearing elves' holy robes. If such a force wants to dominate an area, there are many factors to consider; but it is easy for them to destroy an area.

This negotiation was indeed as the magician said. From the very beginning, the Kingdom of Amelan did not have the capital to sit on the negotiating table, and could only listen to people's orders. But at the beginning, I had the opportunity to negotiate. At least the other party was patient and wasted ten days in vain. But such an opportunity was missed because of his various misjudgments.

Looking at the letter of credentials on the table, which has not yet been opened. Even if you didn't see the twenty-one holy seals belonging to the World Tree, the ending didn't seem to have changed. Andre Prior sighed again.
