The elves, who had suffered a mental blow, were unable to react to a certain someone's question. They could not understand what he meant. However, the World Trees, who had always been calm and detached from the mortal world, knew what this human, who had been working closely with them recently, meant.
In the eyes of outsiders, the World Trees accepted all of a certain someone's suggestions. But in fact, every time he gave an idea, he would give a seemingly reasonable reason. It was just that these reasons might be affected by his position, or limited by a certain someone's own vision.
No matter what, he would not ask others to blindly trust him or follow his instructions blindly. This was because he didn't want to be used as a tool by others without knowing anything. Even if he received a disapproving reply after giving a reason, there was still room for discussion. He could make concessions in terms of the method and the distribution of benefits.
It was precisely this personality of discussing everything that made some of the World Trees, who did not quite appreciate him as a human, willing to cooperate with him. Twenty-one World Trees represented twenty-one different wills. Not all trees were willing to unconditionally cooperate with a human Mage. Respecting the wishes of these trees also gave Lin room to talk.
This time, the question that Lin raised was asked by the World Tree Mackinin, who was a professional at disagreeing with a certain someone, "Is it necessary for us to mass-produce such a weapon?"
"Considering the exposure of the Flash Tactic, you don't think that the subsequent problems are only related to the three elven kingdoms that we're going to attack next, right?" Lin raised a question.
"Oh, is there anything else that we haven't thought through? Please explain, Your Excellency, "a neutral World Tree said, acting as a competent receptionist.
"What kind of waves do you think the exposure of the Flash Tactic will cause in human society?"
"Human society? We don't intend to attack the human kingdoms. What does it have to do with them? "the World Tree Mackinin continued.
"Preparing for a rainy day? Before the emperors lose their minds and send troops to attack the human kingdoms, we must first eliminate the threats. Or greed? The advantages of being able to master this tactic are self-evident. You definitely don't know which king or emperor has the wrong idea and is trying to master this technique. If you can't master it, destroy it so that no one else has the chance to master it. Never challenge the limits of human society. Therefore, I suggest that you prepare for the best and plan for the worst. "
"But what does this have to do with creating weapons? Our tribes use the Blink technique to support each other, as if we are one. No country has the ability to attack us. Not even the Five Great Empires of the human world, "a World Tree said.
"The problem is, they don't know. Furthermore, in the history of the Mystic Lands, it was not as if the World Tree Tribe had never been conquered by other Homo sapiens other than the Wood Elves. In a situation where there are precedents, others are not clear about your ability to support each other. Or rather, they actually know and have guessed it, but they choose to ignore it. In this kind of situation, rather than slowly slicing his opponent's flesh, it would be better to hurt him in one go. There was no need to doubt the wood elves' individual power level. However, the wood elves' numerical disadvantage would always cause people to have unnecessary delusions. If he wanted to break this delusion, he had to have the strength to make the final decision on the battlefield. Only by making people feel despair could he possibly dispel any unnecessary ambitions. Not shedding tears until you see the coffin. That's the phrase that best represents human resilience. "
At the same time, a slight explosion occurred in the tower where the elven general of the Amelan Kingdom had launched a sneak attack. A cloud of dust rose from the top of the tower and the windows. It seemed like the Wood Elf squadron in charge of suppressing the area had cleaned up the interior of the tower. Ruthlessly!
Lin looked at the commotion and continued, "Besides, with a powerful enough weapon as a bargaining chip, we can also minimize the resistance in the subsequent attack on the Elven Kingdom. As long as the other party realizes that the gap between us and the enemy is too big to make up for, and we don't make unreasonable demands, it should be easier for them to accept. "
"Your tone is still full of uncertainty, human," Mackinin said disdainfully.
"There's no telling what's in a person's heart. How can I completely guess what others are thinking? That's why we need to make the best preparations to deal with all kinds of situations that may happen. "
"Aren't you afraid that the elves will counterattack human society after mastering this power?" Mackinin asked provocatively.
In response, Lin laughed and asked back, "Are you afraid that the elves will turn around and enslave you after mastering this power?"
"How is that possible? Even if the power of this bow has been modified, it's still not enough to shake our bodies. Why should we be afraid? "
"That's right. Human society is relying on the Magic Tower to stop the elves. The power of this bow is also one of the best weapons, but it's only used against humans and not at the level of a siege weapon. If we can't deal with the Magic Tower, we can't threaten human society. In addition, the social structure of the Wood Elves is not conducive to governance. The foundation of their expansion is in the range that the World Tree can take care of. Under this premise, I don't have to worry about this at all, do I? As for the Elven Kingdom — "
Lin Shang looked at the sword dancer, Liana Titov, who was wearing an improved elven holy robe and looked very graceful. She was the full-time emissary of the World Tree Lahti who contacted Lin, and she was also the general of the Piat Haime Elven Kingdom. Although she had just been promoted not long ago.
"— Let's not talk about which is better and which is more conducive to governance between the elves and the humans. If they want to rely on this new power to counterattack the human world, the premise is that the other Wood Elf tribes are willing to lend them troops. Otherwise, relying on Lahti's power alone is just a small matter. Then the question is, are you willing to lend troops to something that is of no benefit to you? Or do you think there are benefits to supporting the elves to attack the humans? You can tell me about it. "
In the eyes of outsiders, the actions of the World Tree were difficult to predict because most people put their ideas into these plants that had an almost infinite lifespan. Just like how men couldn't understand women, animals that instinctively ate and mated found it difficult to understand the thoughts of plants. It was just that most plants couldn't speak and didn't know how to protest, but the World Tree could not only speak, but also fight back.
Then what was the instinct of plants? Lin summed it up in four words — to grow towards the sun. However, the World Tree didn't need the sun to photosynthesize. The direction they worked hard to grow was to extend their branches to more dimensions and absorb the nutrients they needed.
All of their actions were in service of this project. It could be said that the World Tree was indifferent to things that had nothing to do with their own growth. If the Wood Elves assisted their fellow elves in the name of the Turtledove Alliance, as long as there was no World Tree as support, the difference in power between the two sides was like heaven and earth. There was no need to worry at all.
Therefore, the World Tree Mykkinen remained silent after being asked such a rhetorical question. Although they argued, these plants didn't insist on saying things that went against their will or made impulsive remarks. As if to break the awkward silence, one of the Ancients, Yuktlahir, asked, "Mage, when do you plan to launch the next attack?"
After a moment of thought, Lin Zheng replied with a straight face, "I personally hope that it'll be as soon as possible. If the World Tree in the four kingdoms is dealt with as soon as possible, we won't have to worry about this anymore. However, this doesn't make sense because the main forces are provided by you. After every battle, how long it takes to rest and reorganize depends on your soldiers, not me. After all, we have the initiative to launch the attack, and we don't need to overdraft our soldiers to win. Of course, it doesn't make sense to wait until everything is ready to attack because it wastes too much time and reduces the morale of the soldiers, which is disadvantageous. "
A certain Mage kicked the ball back again. Yuktlahir didn't continue to evade and said directly, "This time, except for the first ten days of waiting, which made the soldiers feel quite depressed, the actual battle process wasn't too difficult. To let them recover to their peak state, three days is enough. However, if we want to equip them with the new bow, I can prepare about a hundred pieces in two Sabbath days. It will take at least half a year to equip all of them. If there are more of them, of course, it will take longer. "
As the leader of the Turtledove Alliance, the Ancient Yuktlahir spoke, and the other World Trees reported a number one after another. Basically, they were all based on two Sabbath days, which was fourteen days. Twenty-one World Trees gathered together to form a squadron, which was about a thousand people.
During the process, all the elves who were listening on the side maintained a deathly silence.
Half a year ago, in their understanding, the Holy Robe and the Treasure Bow were gathered together. That was an opportunity that only the heroes chosen by the heavens had. Or rather, only by having both would one be qualified to leave behind the name of a hero in the history of the elves.
Today, half a year later, according to His Majesty, the Holy Robe and the Treasure Bow would become the standard equipment for all their troops. Moreover, the Elven Treasure Bow that they were about to obtain was an improved weapon that was even more powerful than before.
Logically speaking, to be able to fulfill a childhood dream, they should wake up with a smile even in their dreams. However, all the elves had bitter expressions on their faces. They had mixed feelings and could not say anything.
Among them, the one who was the most upset was none other than the fat elf who was tortured by the Elven Emperor's Bow and listened to the entire process. If this bow had not been taken out to kill this Mage, General Gatu Gobis would not have died, and the secret of the Treasure Bow would not have been exposed to his eyes. If the secret was not exposed, the twenty-one World Tree Majesties would not have vowed to equip the entire army with the Treasure Bow.
If the generals of their kingdom knew about this, would they regret it, or would they regret it so much that their intestines turned green? The originally exclusive national treasure, the weapon that all the elves yearned for, was about to become a piece of trash on the streets.
Regardless of whether those stubborn old men regretted it or not, Whitelock Futeng felt that the Treasure Bow in his hand was not fragrant at all. He only wanted to throw it far away, so that he wouldn't be continuously burned by the intense power emanating from the bow.
