Gou is a dark elf in Warhammer

The next period of time was still a recess, and the dignitaries and officials dispersed and relaxed themselves in various ways. And with the arrival of Malekith...

"Is that all for now?"

Daxus glanced at Malekith, blew out a puff of smoke, leaned lazily on the back of his chair, and spoke in a casual but unquestionable tone.

These words were like a basin of tangible cold water, poured directly on the Witch King's head. The heat and cold water evaporated and turned into steam.

Malekith frowned slightly, adjusted his sitting posture, leaned back on the chair, folded his arms, and was silent for a moment. As the Witch King, he certainly knew that Dacus was already operating at full capacity, and all the available manpower had already been dispatched. Now, even the most basic affairs needed to be filled with manpower from limited resources.

During this time, even Koulan, who usually stayed by his side, was not with him, but even so, he still wanted to express his dissatisfaction.

"It would be better if you could give me more men." How could Daxus tolerate Malekith's bad habits? He shrugged, spread his hands, and gave Malekith a helpless look. "The men have been sent out. Why don't I split myself in half?"

Malekith did not speak, but just snorted softly, glancing inconspicuously at Seonlan who was sitting next to him.

Seonlan had not spoken since just now, and had been sitting there quietly, nodding from time to time, as if he was thinking seriously about something. When Malekith's eyes fell on him, he immediately understood, stood up, saluted, and then turned around and left the meeting room.

"How is it?" Daxus looked at Seonlan's back, his lips slightly raised, and he raised his eyebrows at Malekith.

"Very good, an excellent warrior." Malekith turned his head and looked directly at Daquus and said casually.

"It seems that you have fought with him?" Daxus asked with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"Just a test." Malekith said lightly, but his fingers tapped slowly on the armor twice, revealing his recognition of Seonlan.

Busy, everyone is busy. Koran has been very busy recently, but he is not busy with the reorganization of the Black Guards. He is upgrading Malekith's Guards, upgrading them based on the original Black Guards to 2.0, making the Black Guards an elite force capable of independent combat.

After Aegilethe returned to Naggaroth after the meeting in Aldorf, Koran had already begun to work on the planning. Now several years have passed and it has been completed long ago.

Although the upgrade framework of the Black Guard has been built long ago, in order to make this force truly combat-ready, it still needs to be filled in and supplemented with suitable soldiers to truly transform the framework into a functioning machine.

This step is much more difficult than imagined.

First of all, the army of Naggaroth was already in a period of adjustment. The large-scale military reforms forced many traditional legions to reorganize, and the upgrade of the Black Guards required the selection of the most suitable candidates. These people not only had to have strong combat capabilities, but also had to be absolutely loyal, not to mention training. After all, among all the troops, the Witch King's Guards were undoubtedly the highest standard.

Subsequently, the formed Guards will not undertake infrastructure tasks, but will focus on training and undertake combat missions when Naggaroth is at its weakest.

But now, the Black Guards not only have to continue to perform their original duties, but have also been given more tasks. Some were sent to serve as nannies for the bureaucrats, while others began to accept some clerical work, because these were the only educated people in Naggaroth.

During this time, Seionlan stayed with Malekith. This was a joint decision made by the Witch King and the Witch King's Hand.

When in Athel Loren, Seionlan expressed to Dacreus that he was willing to serve in Naggaroth, but there was one condition: to kill Hellebron.

Dacus agreed without hesitation. It could even be said that he wanted it more than he could have hoped. In his original plan, Seonlan's position was very clear: a martial arts master, similar to those followers of Edreze, serving as an instructor in training, equipment use and tactical research schools, providing Duruchi with more systematic and efficient combat training.

But Seonlan's understanding and knowledge of tactics gave him a huge surprise.

He originally thought that Seonlan was just a master of martial arts, but he did not expect that Seonlan had a very deep understanding of mobile warfare. It could even be said that Seonlan's way of thinking was, to some extent, beyond the cognitive scope of most Duruchi Dread Lords.

He thought that it was a waste of talent for Seonlan to be the martial arts master, and he needed Seonlan to do more important things, such as... bringing mobile warfare back to Naggaroth, enriching Druch's tactical system, and letting those dread lords who were still stuck in traditional tactics feel what real mobile warfare was and what fast-paced battlefield control was!

In the end, he decided to let Seonlan take over as an instructor at the Junior Military Academy. While teaching, he would compile a complete system of mobile warfare theory and practice, and compile it into teaching materials to build a mobile corps for Druch that was truly adapted to offensive operations.

Originally, he expected that this work might take a long time. After all, the formation of theory, the verification of practice, the establishment of a system... all require repeated experiments and constant adjustments.

But the reality was even smoother than he expected.

In a short period of time, the framework of mobile warfare has been completed. What needs to be done now is to fill in the content, repeatedly polish the details, and finally form a combat system that can be implemented.

Soon, the first edition of the textbook will appear on the desks of officers, and they will witness with their own eyes how a completely new way of fighting will change Druch's war mode.

Of course, this did not prevent Seonlan from continuing to serve as the instructor of the Young Court, because this matter involved far more than just the military itself, but also involved religion, politics, and even the future power structure of Naggaroth.

On the religious level, Malekith and Darkius chose to deal with it coldly, because the Cain Cult and Malekith were the incarnation of Cain. The appearance of Seionlan, who killed Hellebron, beside Malekith was a clear signal that the absolute rule of the Cain Cult had collapsed and a new order was replacing the old rules.

This is not a game where you click a decision and religion and culture change in an instant. When the steam engine technology is clicked, all factories use steam engines in the next second.

In terms of religion, Naggaroth needs a smooth transition period, clean up Malekith's mess, and then...

Right, Master Ma?

On the political level, Seonglan's identity is also very representative.

Although he bears the mark of the Daxus faction, he is neither Duruchi nor Asur. He is Asrai. He is not from any noble family in Naggaroth. He has no bloodline bias and no burden of position.

This means that no matter what the Duruchi nobles are planning, they cannot find fault with him!

If this instructor position is given to a powerful person in Naggaroth, no matter who is chosen, it will cause dissatisfaction among other nobles and may even lead to intensified factional conflicts in the army.

The existence of Seonlan solves this problem perfectly.

The most important thing is that Malekith trusts him, and Daqians also trusts him!
Behind this, there is a more obscure but crucial political consideration.

With the deaths of Morathi and Hellebron, the political landscape of Naggaroth is changing dramatically.

On the surface, Malekith was the absolute ruler, and Darkius was his Hand.

But in fact……

A kind of "two emperors ruling together" has already appeared in Naggaroth.

The political group behind Daxus has already consumed too many political resources. Annasara is the head of the magic academy, and Newkel is the head of Taliondan. He told Malekith a long time ago that he wanted to be the Grand Admiral of the Druch Navy. His political intentions are obvious. Loxia's aunt Lechkiel is the head of the Naval Academy.

In addition, he is also in charge of finance, personnel, and logistics.

He has a very good personal relationship with Hirsis, the Night Warden of Naggarond, as well as Hag Graef and the Night Warden of Karond Kar, not to mention Karond Karond.

As for Valahal, he was the one who promoted Hag Graves, and Cowell was the one from Clarkarond.

Apart from that, Asheril behind him is like a solid block.

This is just politics and diplomacy...

This is one of the reasons why he doesn't want to get involved in the army anymore, but in fact he has already got involved in the army. The people in charge of training, equipment use and tactical research academies are his people, and they all have his label on them. With the death of Lakas, the beast tamers are also led by the Hell's Disaster Family. Fortunately, the general direction of the army is controlled by Malekith.

He then ate up the military academy system...

Fortunately, the most critical part of the army, the Dread Lord system, was controlled by Malekith, and he could only insert a few people into it, and gradually insert the people he brought from Elsing Alvin.

This is not good. He and Malekith are friends and partners. Something bad will happen sooner or later. He doesn't want to destroy his friendship with Malekith, he doesn't want to sideline Malekith, and he doesn't want two factions to confront each other in Naggaroth, causing Naggaroth to fall into a new round of internal strife!

Now we must find a balance to ensure the stable development of the situation. In addition, there are also practical considerations.

The Frostheart Guards who followed Seonlan were all followers of the Lord of Blades. Their fighting power was no less than that of the Black Guards, and in some cases, they were even more aggressive and mobile.

When the young Druki boys in Youting graduate, we can form a new, powerful, ace army with the Hanxin guards, cadets and the new generation of Druki soldiers as the core.

"Use your abilities?"

Just as Daxus was deep in thought, Malekith suddenly spoke, his tone calm but with a hint of tentativeness.

Daxus didn't rush to answer. He raised his eyes and fixed them on Malekith's visor, pondering the meaning of this sentence.

Of course he knew what Malekith was referring to.

Directly using his power of destiny to screen out the best seeds from the vast crowd, accurately targeting those geniuses who truly have potential and may stand out in the military and political system in the future, this is indeed the most efficient way.

But the problem is... the power of destiny is not that evil.

Destiny changes, and people change too. A moment of glory may not last until the end; a moment of mediocrity may not be unable to change one's fate.

What is certain will not change, but what is unknown will burst out at some point in the future. Before it bursts out...

If he uses this power to interfere excessively, many real opportunities may be nipped in the bud.

The best example is Fergal, whom he didn't know. When he was giving a speech above the military camp before, he only felt a few strands of destiny power, but who actually selected them out?
The criteria for judging legends are very complicated. Martial force only accounts for a small part, and more of it is change and influence. The martial arts of Jon Skylar, who he beat to death in Aldorf, were not very good, but his deeds and influence... He was active from before the First Vampire War until the end of the Third Vampire War.

When he first came to this world, the three Takaya siblings did not show the power of destiny at all. Only Dastan showed a little bit of it on the entire ship, but now...

"If you do this, you will miss out on many excellent seeds." He took a deep breath and then exhaled, the smoke filling the air. After a moment, he spoke slowly, his tone calm, without directly rejecting it. Then, he gave a more practical suggestion, "My suggestion is to slow down for a while, wait until the situation stabilizes, then go to other cities and do the final screening. The lucky gold that has sunk in the mud will eventually emerge."

Malekith was not satisfied with the answer, but he also understood what Daxus meant.

"In a few days, the immigrants from Har Gansi will arrive." Daquus could sense Malekith's dissatisfaction, so he slowed down his tone a little and threw out a new chip.

"Dakeius, you are always like this, you are like this every time, and you will always be like this!" Malekith stared at Dacreus for a while, and finally chose to look away. There was a hint of helplessness in his tone, but more of a compromise that was accustomed to it.

He always has his own pace, is never willing to be forced into making decisions, and always gives more appropriate choices, but makes them difficult to refute.

He knew Dacus too well.

"Do you want to stay for the meeting?" Daxus shrugged and asked casually with a relaxed smile on his face.

"No!" Malekith answered decisively, and almost at the same time he finished speaking, he stood up with quick and decisive movements. He didn't have time to stay here any longer, as there were still a lot of things that needed to be dealt with by the army. After Dacus made it clear that he would not intervene, he had to deal with all these things.

He turned and walked away. When he reached the door, he suddenly paused, tilted his head slightly, and a low voice rang out in the conference room.

"There are still many things I need to take care of in the military."

Daquus just smiled, stretched out his hand, and waved to Malekith as a farewell.

As Malekith left, the officials and dignitaries outside returned to the meeting room one after another. The short recess ended and the meeting continued.

Daxus looked at everyone who had sat down again, sighed, put out his pipe, leaned forward slightly, and prepared to get into the state.

The Naggaroth stage was still going on, but the direction of the play was slightly different from what he had originally envisioned. But there was nothing he could do about it, he knew that change was never achieved overnight, just like a lake blocked by a thousand years of ice, even if the ice had begun to crack, the lake still needed time to truly thaw, flow, and even wash out a new river channel.

His strategy has always been clear. He did not use violent means to destroy the old order, but gradually infiltrated, adjusted, and reshaped it in a boiling frog manner, allowing the old world to collapse unknowingly and the new order to be established imperceptibly.

The social structure of Naggaroth is cruel and divided. To completely break it up is not something that can be done with just a decree.

Political system, economic system, cultural field, social structure, infrastructure, public services... every field needs to be filled, every link needs to be corrected, and every corner needs to adapt to new rules.

So he chose a more patient and covert approach, casting a wide net.

It is not about casting a large net casually, but about throwing a fine net into the water to screen the entire society first, filling in the key skeleton first, so that this huge machine can at least work.

Then start patching to ensure that all foundations are solid and there are no fundamental loopholes.

This is not a simple change, but a social reshaping.

He knew that resources were limited, and talents were even more limited. Fortunately, he had a little more time, but that was it. The shadow of war was approaching, and he had to revitalize the entire Naggaroth in the shortest possible time and make it capable of continuous operation.

He has to prioritize.

Military affairs are still the top priority, but fortunately he is not responsible for this.

The reshaping of the administrative system followed closely. Naggaroth's original ruling model relied on violence and terror to maintain order, but now, what he needs is a bureaucratic system that can efficiently implement government orders and ensure the stability of social operations, rather than a group of killing machines that only know how to plunder and massacre.

The adjustment of economic structure is also crucial. The traditional economic model of Drucci is based on the labor dispatch system. However, under the new order, relying solely on labor dispatch can no longer support the huge war consumption. The factory system, industrial and commercial structure, resource allocation, everything needs to be replanned. It is necessary to retain the original exploitation system while injecting new impetus into it to maximize production efficiency.

The reform of culture, education, and religion is the last and most difficult step. Literacy, basic education, and the cultivation of logical thinking, these seemingly unurgent issues, are actually the key to determining how far Naggaroth can go in the future, and even how far the entire elven society can go.

He did not pin his hopes on a dramatic change overnight, but chose to fill in the gaps bit by bit and infiltrate the changes step by step. His method was very covert, he did not rush to shake the foundation of the old world, but first built the skeleton of the new world. When the time was right, the old world would collapse unnoticed.

It was a long process, but Dacus had time.

The net has been cast, the first batch of captured people have been screened, and will then be forged and polished, gradually becoming the skeleton supporting the new order.

However, this is just the beginning.

The real turning point is not to let the right people occupy the right positions, but to let everyone realize that they have the right to choose.

Dacus's goal is not to create miracles, but to create mechanisms.

If the first round of screening is to fill in the skeleton, select those capable people and put them in the right positions, then the next second round is to let those who feel ignored stand up themselves, actively prove their value and show their talents.

The rules are simple. If someone is dissatisfied with his current situation, feels that he is being buried, and that he has not been given the opportunity to develop his potential, then he can stand up and prove himself to the entire Naggaroth.

This will be a real social selection.

Administration, engineering, combat command, academic research, and even business and trade. As long as you are good enough and can show talent that surpasses others, you can make the leap and change your destiny.

All of this does not require background or family support. The only criterion is personal ability, to see if one's life is tough enough.

The future of Naggaroth cannot rely solely on the people he has selected now. Any system has loopholes, and any plan has blind spots. What he has to do is to give these people a more efficient, fairer, and more ruthless way to climb.

A truly strong person should not be buried in the shadows, but should stand in the light and accept everyone's attention.

The second Naggaroth stage will be their only chance. (End of this chapter)
