"Actually, you don't need to play any economic war with the merchants of Marlinburg. Financial war, my champion. Look at the situation now. Economic war is within the rules. What we need now is to act as soon as possible. Actually, you can discuss with Karl-franz to take over Marlinburg and split the resources of the entire city."
"My dear, you're still too careful to make mistakes. You're too focused on the process and pursuing perfection."
In the bedroom of the Kurona Palace, the Lady of the Lake sat lazily on the main seat. The Lady of the Lake's bright golden hair fell straight to the ground. Today, she was wearing a transparent palace dress made of velvet lanterns. Her slender legs were wrapped in black diamond-patterned ultra-thin fluorescent pantyhose, and her silk feet were covered in milky white fish-shaped heels. The Lady of the Lake's sacred and inviolable face was somewhat annoyed, but more than that, it was doting love. She had a strong aura that belonged only to the Lady of the Lake, but she also had a seductive charm.
She was beautiful, with curved eyebrows and watery eyes. She was as tranquil as jade. Now, she was the most powerful Lady of the Lake.
The Lady of the Lake had not appeared for a long time.
There was a reason for this.
The Lady of the Lake wanted to fight the Seed of Destruction together with Laing and Angran, but Laing and Angran did not agree. The Lady of the Lake was not a Lady of the Lake who was good at fighting. Her spells were ineffective against the Seed of Destruction. Not only would she not be able to defeat the Seed of Destruction, but she would also be targeted by the Seed of Destruction. In the battle, she would most likely need Laing and Angran to protect her.
So what had the Lady of the Lake been doing all this time?
It was very simple. The Lady of the Lake had recently begun to interfere with the fate of the High Elves and Dark Elves. Under the guidance of the Lady of the Lake, Tegris learned about the destiny of the world. At the same time, Lilith revealed the truth of the world to Witch King Malecis — Malecis was the destined Phoenix King, the true orthodox Phoenix King.
Shaman King Malecis, who was still resisting in Nagaros, was both ecstatic and confused.
Malecis was obviously willing to hear and believe the answer of the Lake Fairy. For thousands of years, Malecis had always believed that he was indeed the destined Phoenix King, and he had repeatedly emphasized it. As everyone knew, the more one emphasized that one must be "confident," the less confident one was. Now that Lilith, the Goddess of the Moon, had personally told Malecis that he was the rightful Phoenix King, how could Malecis not be overjoyed?
After the ecstasy, he was greeted with confusion.
Malecis suspected Lilith's true purpose, but Lilith only told him that from the very beginning, Malecis was the Chosen One favored by Asoyan.
"You have escaped death countless times, and no matter how serious your injuries are, you can always recover. Do you think it's just because you are strong?"
"You were exiled to the Realm of Chaos during the Battle of Fen Nur Plains, and traveled for decades with the Sin Crown on your head, but you were not affected by the corruption at all. Is it really because of your strong will?"
"For thousands of years, you have relied on the Black Membrane from the Realm of Chaos to extend your life, while other Dark Elves can only rely on the power of Kane's blood pool. Malecis, wake up, you are the Chosen One of Asoyan. Only the Goddess of Heaven, who is the Lord of the Phoenix, has this level of anti-corruption ability. The rightful Phoenix King, do you really think that you have this kind of strength?"
Malecis was silent. The Shaman King had always doubted everything, and Lilith's evidence made him speechless.
"But, why not Kane?"
"Kane doesn't like you, and has never liked you. You always claim that you are Kane's incarnation, but it's just a way to unite Nagaros." Lilith's voice was merciless. "Just like you have always told everyone, you are used to lies, you are used to deception. If a person stays in the pigsty for too long, he will gradually assimilate. You are about to become the manager of a pig farm, Shaman King."
"And you are disgusting, the Moon Goddess who found a human husband. You are clearly using me," Malecis said coldly. "What is your purpose?"
"The Moment of Final Judgement has already started for two years, and Nagaros is in ruins. Do you still need me to explain?"
"What does that have to do with me? If those Gods of Chaos want to come, then let them come. I will be like my father, riding my dragon, and using my sword to deal with these enemies. Fighting is my birthright. "
"Yes, this is your right, but you are no match for them, never." Lilith laughed sarcastically and sharply. "You can't beat them. The only way is to return to Ossouin and inherit your destined throne. Only Asuyan's power can compete with the Gods of Chaos, and this is the only way to save this world."
"This is your plan? Betraying my family so that I can obtain Asuyan's power and become the King of Ossouin? " Malecis understood. No matter how exaggerated Lilith's words were, she was still doing it for him. "I think this is the only way to save the fate of the world and let you escape destruction, right?"
The Moon Goddess suddenly fell silent, which made Malecis feel that he had found the truth. He wanted to ask again, but Lilith had already disappeared.
The Witch King had made up his mind. Malecis gathered all the Dread Lords and Dark Councilors in Nagaros and officially announced that he would completely abandon the land of Nagaros and lead all the Duruqi on an expedition to Ossouin to take back his destined throne as the Phoenix King.
Thousands of ships carrying the Dark Elf army set off from Nagaros and officially headed for Ossouin. Nagaros was officially abandoned. Before leaving, Malecis ordered Nagaros to be burned to ashes.
Only the Witch Queen Morasi and the Witch Heliben refused to leave.
The Witch King personally went to Grond to see his mother. Morasi refused to help her son and only sent a lady, Drosala, to lead part of the army. The Witch Heliben also refused to leave Hal Gansi. She swore that she would resist the Chaos with the remaining Dark Elves until the end.
The Elven Civil War had officially begun.
In the room, the Lake Fairy and Suria sat on one side. Laing sat opposite the Goddess and the Queen. Olika stood behind Laing and listened to the description of the Lake Fairy.
Now, the whole world, except for the Green Skins, was fighting against the Chaos. However, different forces displayed different combat power. For example, the High Elves, without any external help and facing the strongest army of the Chaos, relied on their own army and Regent Tyrion's bravery to eliminate and banish all the invading Chaos Demons. For example, Lucia's Lizardmen and Forgen's army had defeated the Skaven Ratmen and the Chaos Vanguard.
Forgen had already pulled up seventy to eighty Phoenix Guards. These people fought beside the original body and grew quickly.
In the old world, although the Brittany suffered a lot, Laing still defeated three waves of enemies and defended his home.
After Laing comprehended the Soul World and obtained the Seed of Destruction, his combat power could be ranked in the second tier of the original body. With the support of the Soul World, he was confident that he could wrestle with Zhuang Sen.
Riman Rousse was now a little brother! That was what Ryan thought. He was secretly pleased.
Most of the dwarven fortresses in the Ridge of the World were currently besieged by the Skaven Ratmen. Butcher's Castle was surrounded by enemies, and the Butcher King could not even send out a single soldier. Belegar of the Eight Peaks Mountain and the Three Guards of the Wretched Lands had fought dozens of battles with the Morse clan. The Supreme King Solgreen kept persuading the dwarves to gather their troops, but it was to no avail. The dwarves had received more than one request for help from the Empire, but they could not do anything.
As for the Empire, Emperor Karl-franz's Golden Fortress seemed to be on the verge of collapse. This time, Laing's raid of Marlinburg had given the Empire a lot of blood. About a third of the goods that the Brittany looted from Marlinburg would be handed over to Karl-franz as a tacit agreement that the Empire would let bygones be bygones.
The Empire really did not have the energy to deal with these merchants, and urgently needed supplies. The emperor had no choice but to "betray the country". Laing took out about a million of the four million worth of looted goods and sent it to the northern frontlines of the Empire, encouraging the emperor to continue to persevere. "Roll up your sleeves and do your best!"
It felt good to borrow flowers to give to Buddha.
Those familiar words appeared in Laing's mind again.
Then the situation of the world could be summarized as follows:
Tyrion: This proves that Azur is the best in the world!
Kouga: Because we are the eldest sons of the ancient sages!
Laing: I will protect everything that Brittany has.
Malecis: It is our duty to restore Duruzi's glory.
Karl-franz: Defending the Golden Fortress is considered a victory.
"Last year's Skaven War, this year's Battle of Cuyleu, and the Battle of Kurona have overdrawn Brittany's war potential." Laing shook his head helplessly. "It should take at least three years for us to recover to our original level. Carcassonne and Bereon are already in ruins, and the area around Kurona is also affected."
"We don't have that much time, Laing." The Lady in the Lake immediately shook her head. "The Empire can still hold on, but definitely not for more than a year. The Golden Fortress is after all Galt's invention. After he left, the wizards and priests can maintain it, but they don't know how to adjust and repair it."
"So, we only have half a year to recover as much as we can." Laing nodded. Although the losses were huge, Brittany had now dealt with the external threat. After three consecutive defeats, Chaos would definitely not be interested or have the energy to attack again.
There was silence in the room. After all, Brittany was still weak.
At this time, the Lake Goddess Witch, Morgiana, walked in with black tea and pastries. Today, the Lake Goddess Witch was wearing a gorgeous Kurona Gardens cream one-piece dress with ultra-thin, shiny nude-colored stockings and ivory pointy square heels. Hearing Laing's words, the Lake Goddess Witch put down the things and said casually, "Didn't you say that there are a lot of Kislöw veterans in Marlin Castle? We can use this opportunity to recruit them. What about the Estalians?"
"No." Laing shook his head. He glanced at Morgiana and sighed. "It's not time yet."
Morgiana did not understand, but the Lake Goddess Witch had a blind trust and worship for Laing. When she heard Laing's disagreement, she gave up. Seeing that there was no one around Laing, Morgiana put down the silver plate and sat beside Laing, leaning on him secretly.
Of course, Laing knew that if he recruited a large number of Kislöw veterans and the Estalian army now, he could indeed gain a number of combat power. But the impact was so bad that Laing had to consider the consequences. As everyone knew, he had spent so many years to open up a path for the peasants and serfs to rise. Joining the army was almost the only path for the serfs and freedmen now. With the recent series of wars, Brittany was bound to recruit and form a new army on a large scale. The people at the bottom were already eager to give it a try. Many freedmen had even prepared their own weapons on a large scale and were just waiting for the Midsummer Conscription Ceremony.
At this time, if Laing recruited Kislöw veterans and formed a new Estalian army on a large scale, what would these people think?
Outsourcing even the soldiers? Everything could be outsourced, right?
Competing with foreigners for the only way to rise?
Competing with Mrs. Kiesler and the Estalians for a quota?
This would cause mass dissatisfaction. The freedmen and serfs were Laing's base. Brittany currently had a sufficient number of reserve soldiers, so he could not consider doing this for the time being. Letting Juan form the Estalian militia and rebuild the First Guard Pike Cavalry was already the limit.
Laing remembered that in his previous life, some countries had given more points to certain ethnic groups and foreigners had received more quotas and benefits. This had already caused mass dissatisfaction, especially in Japan. Because the Chinese students had received more subsidies, the Japanese students had simply gone on demonstrations and posted curses on many places. They had directly written "This country is already dead!".
There was no need for that yet. At the very least, he would have to wait until the war had gone on for a long time. When the reserve soldiers showed signs of drying up and the people began to feel tired of the war, then he would consider this. At that time, the attitude of the people would change drastically. "Someone has sacrificed for us." Then, Laing would take advantage of the situation.
The gray knight found that his thoughts were getting closer and closer to Markado the Sealer.
"So what do we do next?" Suria picked up the black tea. The Sun Queen elegantly and nobly tasted the liquid in the cup. "Rest for a while?"
"Rest for a while." Laing nodded. Angelang was asleep, and the four Imperial Guards had all died in battle. He could not leave Brittany casually now. At least, he had to recover some of his strength first.
"Rest here for a while. I'm going to Ossouin with Olica." The Goddess in the Lake nodded. The Goddess stretched out a beautiful black silk foot. Her small and delicate ankle shook slightly, and the silk foot broke free from the restraint of the high heels. Only the tip of her foot was still hooked on the milky white fishmouth high heels. Her fingernails with green nail polish stubbornly revealed under the hazy black silk binding. Even the diamond-patterned pantyhose was reflecting light. Lilith had a look of "the plan worked" on her face. "Let's go arrange the affairs of the elves' civil war. I'll take Asuyan's divine origin, and then I'll give birth to a new Asuyan with you."
"I'll also take Cain's." Olica walked out from behind Laing. The Goddess of Dark Elves smiled sweetly. "In the future, the two elven divine systems will be a civil war between the descendants of the master!"
"What's the specific plan?" Laing was interested.
"We need a delicate plan." The Goddess in the Lake nodded. Lilith looked very confident. She put her hands on her hips, and the magnificent breasts in front of her chest immediately shook violently. The Goddess looked very proud. "Olica and I have already planned it. You can wait and see the result. It's not convenient to say it now, and even if you say it, it's useless. You can't participate in the elven civil war, or you'll be the public enemy of the three elves and all the elven gods."
"Well, then when are you leaving?" Laing nodded. He did not intend to participate in the elven civil war, nor could he.
"In three days, and we'll go to Nur first." The Goddess in the Lake said with great interest. "Although Alisala is already a useless person, she's still a little useful."
"Okay. Have a safe trip." When Ryan was about to say something, Gray Knight felt a weight on his back, and two soft lumps pressed against his back. Olica licked her lips and looked impatient. "It's not over yet, Master ~ This time, Lilith and I have a lot of risks in our plan, so in order to ensure the success of things, we need psionic energy, a lot of psionic energy, all stored at once in case of emergency. Master, you will definitely fulfill Olica's little wish, right?"
"Hahaha!" Suria covered her mouth and laughed.
"…" Morgiana looked envious.
"Uh …" Laing's face immediately turned green. He quickly looked at the Goddess in the Lake.
He saw that Lilith's face was slightly red, and the Goddess nodded seriously. "Olica is right. Laing, let Suria take care of Brittany for the next three days. Don't do anything else."
You all think I'm a power bank, right? Laing tried to resist, but Olica held him tightly.
"Lilith and I are ready, master." The fragrance of roses wafted around Ryan, and Olica said with a mischievous smile, "Two Elven Goddesses are accompanying you at the same time. This is the only time in the world that you can satisfy both of your needs at once. Master, don't be so ungrateful. Come on."
"I won't …" Olica turned Laing around and pressed him against her chest. The Goddess in the Lake also stood up.
"Let's go inside!"
Just like that, Lilith and Olica dragged Laing, who was still resisting, away.
That day, news came out of Kurona that Sun Wang Laing would be in seclusion for three days to mourn and pray for the Brittany soldiers who died in this battle.
The people all sighed. The reason behind it was heartwarming.
Three days later, two streaks of light, one gold and one purple, flew to Nur.
