Arad's Sword

Chapter 39 Assemble
The Witch of the Mist always nodded very little, and always only said "yes" when she agreed, but the efficiency of her execution was unbelievably high.

In just one day, the five major elf tribes in this forest all took action under the word "good", with the Silver Star tribe closest to the territory of the Asrex family as the gathering place, and the Morrowind tribe The magician, the great swordsman of the Greywhisper tribe, the cleric of the Greenleaf tribe, and the nightsaber cavalry of the most powerful Claw tribe, together with the wandering archers of the Silver Star tribe, formed a team of more than two thousand huge army.

Perhaps it was thanks to the pot of overcooked beef soup that Alice actually appeared in person on a rare occasion and gave a lecture.

However, when the black-haired girl stepped onto the high platform and saw so many moving heads, she immediately regretted it—this is really too troublesome!Compared to the summoned beasts, these elves, whose eyes were full of awe, admiration, excitement and curiosity, she was really too lazy to face.

So in the end, the Witch of the Mist said three words: "Next we will participate in the war in the human kingdom. The order will be issued by this person named Midi Asrex. Supplies, requirements and rewards are the same. Provided by this man named Midi Asrex."

Although it was just a few dry words, it undoubtedly clarified the essence.

Wars are created for the benefit and sharing of benefits. Although the Witch of the Mist has been persuaded, it is of course impossible to demand free contributions from the elf tribe just based on this.The existence of the Mist Witch is only equivalent to an affirmation of Midi's credit, a kind of guarantee, how to participate in the next war, whether to act passively or actively face it, the right to choose still remains In the hands of the elves.

Therefore, after Alice summoned the elders of the elves to issue a simple war mobilization order, Midi, as the official heir of the Asrex family, and Fina, had an exchange of interests with the elders. negotiation.

Although the vision of the elf elders who have lived in the forest for many years is a bit narrow, their demands are still very real - more forests, more resources, more food, more magic veins, more Trade channels and so on... In the final analysis, it is just one word, become stronger.

In the final analysis, this is still a world of the weak and the strong, and the fire in Grand Forest will come next year, and it is impossible to have no warning at all.Letting hold more power in the hands, whether it is for humans or elves or any race, is a choice that will never become obsolete.

Midi's advantage as a reborn person was immediately brought into play.

Compared to the arrogant girls who completely ignored men and fought for their own feelings, the rational elf elders were obviously much easier to grasp.

Moreover, in the previous life, Midi was a senior adventurer who had traveled to countless areas on the continent of Arad, not to mention elves, even the dark elves living in the underground world. Hobbies and so on are also very clear. Now in this negotiation, he is naturally at ease.

Not only that, Midi didn't simply want to persuade the elves to actively send troops, he also considered what happened next year.

Grand Forest Fire.

The fire destroyed the homes of the elves, greatly increasing the mutation of the monsters, and turned the forest, which was originally very friendly to the elves, into a dangerous place of death that could kill them at any time.

Even though Alice presided over the confrontation with the magic circle, several fires broke out in the forest area at the edge of the foot, and the demon veins ran wild, and in the end it was still seriously injured.

Now, taking the opportunity of asking the elves to borrow troops, Midi's other plan is to strengthen the connection between the two parties and at the same time carry out a certain degree of prevention.

For example, provide some areas in the territory for the elves as settlements, or open up more smooth trade channels.

In this way, when the Grand Forest fires, the elves here can be transferred to the territory of the Asrex family and continue to multiply, and the territory of the Asrex family will increase the population. , and a rare elf family!
Midi discussed similar details without any trace in the current negotiation.

And the elf elders, who can't predict the future, immediately feel that they have obtained great benefits from the immediate perspective-there were no large-scale conflicts in the forest, and the soldiers were idle, so they just sent troops to help , human beings are willing to provide so much help, and are even willing to establish elves' settlements on the territory.

This is definitely a very lucrative deal!
So, soon the two sides reached a consensus.The elders of the elves feel that they have made a lot of money, and Midi has prepared for the Great Forest fire next year.

However, Midi is also very clear that whether all of this can be realized will ultimately be based on defeating the invasion of the Seth family.

No matter what happens next year, the battle of nobles in front of him is the first challenge he has to face.

Only by defeating the Scarlet Flame Legion can the Asrex family's status and right to speak in the Principality be ensured, a way out for Alice, and become a strong supporter of Fina Hamilton.And if it fails, you will have nothing, and you can only embark on the road of exile in the end.

In this battle, you can only win, not lose.

Moreover, for Midi, who had experienced despair and homelessness in the previous life, he did not want to face that past again.

The current negotiations are very smooth, which means that Midi can at least mobilize a total of more than 15 elf tribe fighters.Their average level is as high as level 10, which greatly surpasses the average level of level [-] of the Red Flame Legion, and they can be called the elite of the elite.

However, to what extent it can be mobilized is not up to the Elf Elders.

After all, tribal leaders and warrior leaders are two different things.Midi impressed the elders with benefits, but he also knew very well that the elite warriors in the tribe would not be convinced by him, a human ghost swordsman who was only level 23.

How proud are elves?Just look at the attitude of the former Storm Squad Captain Beryl.

To subdue these long ears with upturned nostrils, even for Midi, it still takes effort and thought to polish.

It will take time to train this impromptu team into a truly mature army that is commanded by the arm and prohibited by orders.

What Midi lacks now is time.From finding the Witch of the Mist to now, it took a lot of days to assemble the army. Counting it, they have already stayed in this forest for a full ten days.

It will take several days to return to the territory with the army of elves.

How much time do you have left for yourself before the Seth family resupply and start the war?

Midi synthesized various factors and made inferences and calculations.

Just as he was thinking, there was a commotion outside, and then, a few arrogant elf warriors, escorting a small group of stumbling human soldiers, strode over.

"Master Witch..." The leading elf bowed with an awe-inspiring expression, and knelt down in front of Alice on one knee.

"Talk to him if you have something to do." A troubled look flashed in Alice's eyes, she stretched out her slender fingers and pointed at Midi, as if she had nothing to do with herself.

Midi couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart, even if you want to shake your hand, at least make a show and say a few more twists, right?
The elf warrior was also taken aback. Fortunately, Midi had stepped forward at this moment, neither condescending nor equal, but naturally asked in the posture of a commander: "What happened?"

Facing the titular commander he was not yet familiar with, the elf warrior did not show too much etiquette this time, but simply made a gesture, asking his subordinates to bring the captive up, and then, proudly Said: "We caught a group of enemies on patrol!"

Undoubtedly, for the army that has just assembled, catching the enemy scouts before starting to act can be regarded as a surprise, and it will also help to improve morale.

However, when Midi saw the appearance of those soldiers and the coat of arms on their armor, he realized that they were not enemies, but soldiers of the Asrex family.

The faces of the elf warriors suddenly became extremely embarrassed. They only remembered that they wanted to fight humans, but they forgot that they also wanted to help humans.

But Midi didn't have the heart to care about these things. What he really cared about was the reason why the Asrex family soldiers appeared here.

"Master Midi, one week after you left, the enemy crossed the border of the territory and launched an attack." The leader of the squad leader had no time to care about other things, but said what he knew in an anxious tone. Everything, "And this time, not only the bastards of the Seth family attacked, but even the troops of the Joseph family appeared together! There are a total of 2000 people!"

"Two thousand troops from the Joseph family?" Midi frowned, her face was calm, but she was taken aback in her heart.

The Joseph family, as far as the earl, is a member of the parliamentary faction. It has been attached to the Seth family for a long time, and it was not a force worthy of attention in the Principality of Belle Mare.

But in this aristocratic war, Joseph's territory happened to be sandwiched between Seth and Asrex, which attracted attention.Yorkshire, which was attacked by Midi before, was borrowed by the Joseph family to the Red Flame Legion, and part of the food and grass supplies were also provided by the Joseph family.

However, Midi knew that Earl Joseph was cautious and conservative at best, and timid without assertiveness at worst.For example, in the battle where Yorkshire was attacked, Earl Joseph did not make any sound after that, neither reprimanded the Red Flame Legion for incompetence, nor condemned the destruction of the Asrex family.

Even if the flames of war raged on the territory, even if the territory was occupied by the domineering Seth family, Earl Joseph did not say a word, and he was a rather non-existent nobleman.

Perhaps, this is his way of survival.

But now, the Joseph family, which has always pursued a shrinking policy, has joined forces with the Seth family to launch an attack together?

And still dispatch more than half of the [-] troops of an earl family to attack?

Midi smelled an unusual sense of crisis.
