Capítulo 2085: Chapter 652: War Chariot of the Embroidered Ball (Part 2)
The Sea Clan is not the Demon Clan. Their army can only land on the northern coast of Donau, while Lusen City is in the south of Donau, squeezed between Dorott and the Bimon Kingdom. If they anger the Bimon and humans, the Sea Clan army wouldn’t be able to rescue them in ti — Sy is the arch-nesis of the Lucian Air Force, and if the Bimon wanted to trouble Lusen, they could do so in an instant!
If the fallen Elves distinguish themselves from the Sea Clan invaders and align themselves with the Aegean Alliance, the only visible benefit for the fallen Elves, should the Aegean achieve a great victory, would be changing the long-standing prejudiced views of the world towards fallen races!
How can one allow others to sleep soundly beside their bed? The fallen Elves know well that a battle between the Bimon and Lucian is inevitable!
The political capital gained now can ease this antagonism and provide the fallen Elves with a larger living space.
Lusen aiding the Sea Clan is just the icing on the cake, whereas aiding Bimon against adversity will engrave them in mory. Moreover, the situation clearly indicates that the Sea Clan is at a disadvantage against the Bimon, and whether they can gain any advantage in the Donau Wasteland in the future is uncertain. If future military events turn unfavorable, based on alliance ties, the fallen Elves can retreat into Dorott, avoiding the Sea Clan’s edge, and hold out with humans — this is the strategic depth Roml and all fallen leaders repeatedly emphasize! What Lusen lacks most now is strategic depth. Without alliances, Bimon wouldn’t allow the fallen Elves to go north of the Sanggan River, and humans wouldn’t allow them into Dorott!
“Today, I still want to persuade the esteed lords that if there is an opportunity to improve diplomatic relations with the Bimon, even temporarily, we must seize it! Therefore, this ti we must send troops to help Bimon settle the Naga!” Roml carefully weighed his words, calmly reminding these short-sighted leaders of a fact: “Esteed lords, think about it carefully, even if we don’t help this ti, can’t Bimon still eliminate the Naga?”
“If what you say is true, and they have so many Seven-degree Gold Rings, plus their magic teleportation array, I think they should have no problem deploying troops to exterminate the Naga!” said You Yue’er, the rotating city lord, waving to stop the chatter of others. “But what infuriates the most is exactly this point. They clearly have this capability, so why do they want us Lucian to be cannon fodder? Isn’t this bullying?”
Fool! And yet you’re a city lord! You’re not even worthy to carry Richard’s shoes! Roml’s heart churned violently upon hearing this.
These Elves may really have spent too long in the Underground World, accustod to the rivalry of two countries on one continent. When it cos to power struggles and political persecution, they’re excellent at it, but their strategic vision and overall perspective fall far short.
“It’s not that Bimon wants us to be cannon fodder, my respected city lord.” Roml exerted great effort to suppress the anger in his chest, trying to speak calmly: “The reason Richard makes such a seemingly unreasonable demand is actually to test the limits of our sincerity in Lusen! Yes, we sent one hundred thousand Eagle-Bull people to help them in Bimon eliminate Hai Mu’s defeated army, but so what? Without us, they could still clean up the defeated army themselves, it’s just a matter of ti! Actually, it’s not just Bimon now, humans, Elves, Dwarves, all the wisdom races on the Aegean Continent want to know how sincere we are! Proof cannot solely rely on pursuing defeated soldiers! Only a real battle, won under our banner, can strengthen the Aegean Alliance’s confidence in us! I might not be supposed to say this, but the reputation of fallen races in the Aegean is truly…”
Seeing the disgruntled expressions of the fallen leaders around him, Roml promptly swallowed the rest of his words.
“In short…” Beautiful Handso shook his head, changing his entry point: “If we do not help Bimon resolve the Naga problem, we can forget about getting any military aid from them! Why would Richard provide unconditional support and sell war totems to humans? Because he believes humans and Bimon are comrades in the sa trench! If the esteed lords intend to make the previously raised demands as conditions for Lucian to send troops, I can assure you, we will forever miss out on the military assistance we might have received!”
“You an… we have no leverage to threaten Bimon, right?” Moore, the king, slowly opened his bleary old eyes, his gaze probing.
“Are you suggesting that as long as we independently send troops and finish this battle, whe we make demands to Richard, he will agree?” Madam You Yue’er imdiately followed up with a question: “For example, opening the Underground World, giving us free military equipnt and supplies, as well as heavy Phantom Beasts, Seven-degree Gold Rings…”
“That’s absolutely impossible, Bimon wouldn’t be that foolish!” Roml laughed derisively, interrupting Madam You Yue’er’s words: “I estimate it would be decent if Richard gives us so Totem Pillars of War Songs!”
“What adverse consequences would there be if we adamantly refuse to send troops?”
“There will be no explicit adverse consequences, but Bimon and humans will increase their vigilance against Lusen.” Roml waved his hand: “Madam doesn’t need to worry they’ll imdiately tear faces with us. After all, they’re also extrely busy now, and we have no open entanglents with the Sea Clan.”
