Paradox players’ simulation game

Page 62

The kingdom is completely scorched earth!

It can be said that the elves are now at the end of their strength.

Of course, Ash never underestimated the elves. To this day, the elves still have high-level combat forces, including two-headed dragons, high-level elf wizards, and elemental giants.

Two-headed dragons are powerful aerial combat units with extremely strong strength, and the damage caused to them by assault shooters is extremely limited.

As for the elemental giants, they are life forms bred by natural elements under the tree of nature. They are called God’s creation by the elves. Although there are few of them, the strength of each elemental giant is quite terrifying.

And, the tree of nature, which is called the holy tree by the elves. It is said that five hundred years ago, the elves used this tree to start the art of summoning gods. The goddess of nature descended on the Rhea continent and suppressed the huge beast realm that was almost destroying the elves at that time.

As for the authenticity of the rumor, although it remains to be verified, Ash is still wary.

God, although he was unhappy with these things, he despised them tactically but had to take them seriously strategically.

[Phyllis: It seems that the elves are really desperate. They actually requested peace talks twice. ]

[Weinei: But it’s not that easy to break into the Elijah Forest. This is the last territory of the elves, and they will definitely defend it to the death.]

[Felice: It’s hard to say. Ash still has 60,000 people on his side, and many principalities have not retreated yet.]

[Weinei: Most of those principalities are fickle, so we can’t rely on them. Sixty thousand people are not many, and the soldiers are tired and need to rest.]

Up to now, Ash’s side has suffered heavy casualties, with more than 50,000 of the 110,000 dead or wounded, leaving nearly 60,000. However, the core strength is still there, but the 40,000 troops brought by the old king have been almost wiped out.

So if a fight really comes to a head, there is still hope of winning.

More importantly, the opportunity to destroy the elves is right in front of us. Who would be willing to give up?

Not to mention Ash, even Irelia didn’t want to give up. Once the threat of the elves could be completely resolved, the development of the Purple Spirit Kingdom would be much smoother. Without the elves, the sea tribes could not make any waves. After all, these guys’ territories were still in the sea, and they could not get onto land even if they tried.

It can be said that the main threat to the Purple Spirit Kingdom in the southern continent is the elves. Without the elves, they might really be able to establish an empire.

She understood this principle, Ash understood it, and the old king understood it even better.

The annihilation of the elves is of extraordinary significance to the Purple Spirit Kingdom.

Just then, a new message popped up on the simulation interface.

[In November, the Holy Court issued a warning about the chaos in the southern continent, reminding the Purple Spirit Kingdom not to arbitrarily stir up disputes on the continent and undermine the stability of the continent.]

As soon as the news came out, several princesses knew that something was going to happen.

Isn’t this the same scene as when Ash led his troops to attack the Northern Beastmen?

Seeing the army winning battle after battle, the Holy See jumped out at the critical moment. They said that they were trying to maintain the stability of the continent, but in the final analysis, they were trying to stop Ash from continuing his attack.

[Felice: Here we go again! Which side is this Holy Court on? ]

[Weinei: They are obviously blaming the Purple Spirit Kingdom. Do they want to help the elves?]

[Felice: When we attacked the beastmen, I suspected that the Holy See was a heretic! ]

[Anonymous: It has nothing to do with this. The Holy See always protects its own interests. Whether it is the beastmen or the elves, the Holy See does not want them to be completely destroyed. What the Holy See wants is a relatively stable continental situation, stable, but with threats. Humans will hope for salvation from gods in a desperate and helpless environment. If everything is beautiful and life is guaranteed, who will believe in gods? Peace and prosperity in the country and a life of blessing are the gifts of the kingship. When people no longer have a desire for gods, theocracy will collapse.]

[Phyllis: Hmm? Who are you? Esde? ? ]

Anonymous speaker, there is no one else except Esde now.

However, the other party fell silent after saying this.

[Weinei: She is right, so the Holy See will not let the beastmen or elves disappear. Once the Purple Spirit Kingdom is no longer a threat, it will be possible to establish an empire within ten years. At that time, it will be a huge threat to the Holy See.]

Smart people know that the Holy See has never been a representative of the weak, and their false benevolence towards believers is all for a purpose. In fact, the Holy See will choose to protect the interests of the aristocracy more often, because the oppression of the lower classes by the upper classes of the Rhea continent is one of the main reasons why people want to desire the blessings of the gods.

Because of poverty, I long for God.

Because of disaster, we yearn for God.

Because of despair, I long for God.

If everything were good and the years were peaceful, God would be unnecessary.

Unless the Holy See has the ability to sweep across the entire continent, establish a rule based entirely on the faith of the Mother Goddess of Life, and govern the continent with divine authority, they will need to use some threats to maintain the stability of the continent.

If the elves really become extinct, it will not be of any benefit to them.

The princesses understood this point clearly.

Ash also understood.

After the last game, he reviewed it several times, summarizing his mistakes, and attributed his own problems to “being too moral.”

He corrected this here.

As the culprit who killed the previous simulation, Ash naturally has to conduct in-depth research on the Holy See.

The conclusion is: The Holy See is strong enough to control the major kingdoms, but not strong enough to unify the continent.

Therefore, they will neither allow the major kingdoms to develop, nor allow the threat from humans to truly disappear.

He understands this.

Moreover, the Holy See secretly supported many countries in order to achieve its own strategic goals at certain times.

Just like the effect of the Holy See’s call during the attack on the Northern Orcs, at this time in the Elf Kingdom, following the Holy See’s public warning, some of the principalities that originally occupied the Elf territory chose to withdraw their troops.

There are still a few remaining allies of the Zi Ling Kingdom who are watching the attitude of the Zi Ling Kingdom.

If Zi Ling goes up, they don’t mind following.

If Zi Ling left, there would be no need for them to fight to the death with the elves.

So, the old king’s attitude is very important now.

[On November 11, King Zi Ling agreed to the elves’ request for peace talks and appointed Irelia as a representative to negotiate with the elves.]

“Have you given in yet?”

When Ash saw the news, he wasn’t actually surprised.

The old king knew clearly in his heart that the elves might not be defeated. On the contrary, the Holy Court was putting pressure on Zi Ling. Now the kingdom’s army had occupied most of the elves’ territory. It could be said that they had reaped huge rewards and had an absolute advantage in the negotiations.

To put it bluntly, they have taken enough advantage and there is no need to break off relations with the Holy See.

However, the old king did not seek death by doing this. He did not send envoys for peace talks from the royal city, but instead sent Irelia directly from the front line to negotiate.

This leaves room for maneuver.

Irelia was also the leader in the invasion war. Asking her to negotiate with the elves was different from selecting a profit-seeking noble from the royal family.

And don’t forget that Ash is still here.

The main force attacking the elves now is Ash. What does his old king’s decision have to do with me, Ash?

[On November 11, Princess Irelia represented the Purple Spirit Kingdom in peace talks with the elves, and Prince Ash accompanied her.]

[Phyllis: Ash, negotiation?]

Her Royal Highness tilted her head.

Can this be done?

The screen changes.

At this time, in a town not far from the Ilia Forest.

Representatives of the two sides entered the town one after another.

On the elf side, the representative is a white elf.

White elves and black elves are both elves, but white elves have a higher status and are key members of the elven royal family.

“It turned out to be him.”

In immersive mode, Ash saw the white elf who came to negotiate. Wasn’t this Samir, the same person who led his troops at the border and shouted for a long time that he wanted to kill him when he led his troops to withdraw to Harvey City last year?

“Humph!”

After seeing Ash, Samir snorted coldly with a sullen face, and the elves around him glared at him, wishing they could eat Ash.

“Your Highness Irelia, this is a scene of peace talks between the two countries. It’s not a good idea for you to bring this demon here, right?” Samir said with a sullen face.

Transfer: #: 90◆4] ℃ 842905 The hatred of the entire elves towards Ash has now reached its peak. From the three-year-old elves to the hundreds-year-old elves, all want to skin Ash alive.

The two countries are negotiating for the purpose of “peace is the most precious thing”. What’s your meaning in bringing this butcher here?

Irelia said calmly, “Prince Ash is the frontline commander of the kingdom. Now that we are in the peace talks, he must be present. And Mr. Samir, please be careful with your words. Prince Ash is a hero of the kingdom, not a demon.”

Samir was furious: “Humph! Does your attitude mean you want to negotiate? Is this the sincerity of King Zi Ling?”

“Pfft.” Ash sneered, “You lowly elf, have you made a mistake? The current situation should show us the sincerity of the elves, right?”

“You!——”

The words “lowly human” stuck in Samir’s throat, and he soon realized the current situation. If the negotiations failed, he would not be able to return to the territory to report to the Elf King.

“Let’s get started.” He gave up the idea of ​​arguing with Ash and said in a low voice.

Irelia nodded: “Let’s get started.”

“Your Highness Irelia, my king demands that you withdraw your troops immediately and return all territories. In exchange, the elves will forgive the Purple Spirit Kingdom for its offense this time and promise not to launch a military invasion of the Purple Spirit Kingdom again.” Samir said loudly.

Irelia raised her eyebrows slightly. It was said that the elves were very arrogant and that the elven royal family looked down on others. She didn’t believe it before, but now she did.

“Sir Samir, did you make a mistake?” Irelia said coldly, “This time it was the elves who took the initiative to join forces with the sea tribe to invade our country, and you should bear all the responsibility for your actions. As for the withdrawal of troops, we can discuss it, but please be prepared to compensate the Purple Spirit Kingdom for the casualties of this expedition. If we are not satisfied, the Purple Spirit Kingdom will never withdraw its troops!”

“Irelia!” Samir’s sharp voice quacked like a duck, his eyes full of anger, “Now you have trampled on the territory of the Elven Kingdom and killed countless elves, and you still want us to compensate?”

Irelia snorted, “If you hadn’t taken the initiative to attack, how could this happen? In the final analysis, it’s the elves who have brought this upon themselves… And Lord Samir, I remind you that now is the time for you to ask for peace talks. Please stop acting so high and mighty. The elves are not as noble as you think. Now I give you two choices. Either you pay compensation. My proposal is to divide 30% of the territory of the Elf Kingdom and compensate our army for all the losses in the battle. Otherwise, continue to fight!”

“You guy!!”

The white-skinned elves behind Samir shouted angrily.

“Samir, these humans are going too far. We can’t possibly agree to such an outrageous request!”

“You rude human, don’t think we are really afraid of you!”⑵

“The wrath of the goddess of nature will kill you all in an instant!”⑼

“Keep fighting, Samir! Under the glory of the Tree of Life, the elf warriors cannot lose!”

The elves’ voices were filled with anger. They had never been offended like this before. These damned humans had occupied their land and killed their people, and now they were asking for such an excessive compensation plan? ?

Bandit! Robber!

Samir clenched his fists and his eyes widened.

“Your Highness Irelia, you have seen that we cannot possibly agree to such an impolite request! Since King Zi Ling has agreed to peace talks, I don’t think he wants the two countries to continue fighting. If you are here with sincerity, then put forward some realistic conditions!

“Haha, hahahaha!” Ash laughed when he saw this scene.

The elves glared at them.

“I’m sorry, although this is an important occasion, I really couldn’t help it. I never thought that there would be such a shameless race like you in the world.”

“Shut up, you devil! Don’t force me to do anything here!” Samir said angrily, “You are the least qualified to talk to us!”

“Yes, yes, very good, not bad.” Ash clapped his hands with a smile on his face. “Well, all the high and lowly elves present, I have a suggestion that I think is the most suitable for the outcome of this peace talk.”

Irelia turned around and saw the smile on Ash’s face, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

“I think that it’s better for a race like yours that is so arrogant, conceited, and self-righteous to be exterminated. What do you think of my suggestion?” Ash asked politely.

The elves present all looked stunned.

The next moment, a signal magic bullet exploded in the air, and then the ground began to shake, and a heavy armored army stepped across the ground.

Boom, boom, boom!

There were bursts of exclamations coming from all around.

On the screen, Ash drew out the Sword of Light and shouted, “The elves are arrogant and ignorant. They refused to sign the peace treaty. Their evil ambitions have been exposed. Iron Buddha, kill them all. Don’t spare a single one!”

“No! You can’t do this. This is the peace negotiation stage! You can’t–“

[In mid-November 1781, the peace talks between the Purple Spirit Kingdom and the Elf Kingdom failed. Yaxiu led his army to kill several members of the Elf royal family, including Samir, and beheaded 11 Elf soldiers.]

[The Elf King angrily denounced Ash’s evil behavior, killing the peace envoy, and having no moral bottom line. ]

[The next day, the Holy See once again issued a warning about the war between the Purple Spirit Kingdom and the Elf Kingdom.]

【Ash leads his army to attack the Ilia Forest.】

The border of the southern continent is in chaos again!

As Ash’s army moved, the allied countries that were still staying in the Elf Kingdom also moved.
