"That is to say, the other party made me ignore a part of it, and it is a very important part."
"That's right. However, this only shows that the other party's plan is too secretive and natural, so you didn't even notice it. The other party must be a master of open schemes. This can no longer be considered a conspiracy."
"If the elves want to deal with you, they must form a coalition. But now there is the Black Queen, the public enemy of the continent, and you are not the kind of evil person who is hated by heaven and man."
"Perhaps the elves did not intend to invest so much money, but after you went to the Seven Shields Fortress, the smartest thing you did was to choose to split and disintegrate the Seven Shields Alliance from within."
"The Kingdom of Eos and the Holy Kingdom have formed an alliance with the Shivaash Leader because of you. This way, the elves have lost the best way to deal with you."
"Especially with your actions over the past two days, I guess the elves' high-ranking officials have completely lost hope of using conspiracy to kill you."
"That's why they were forced to take out their best tricks and use overt schemes to plot against you."
"It is impossible for this leaf to fall into the hands of any country other than you. After other countries have finished bidding, I guess the high elf named Celestine will definitely choose to form an alliance with all the forces that want to obtain this leaf."
"And this leaf will be the reward for the alliance's next action plan."
"Only the Black Queen can bring all the forces together to fight against her. When the time comes, as the invincible commander who has won every battle, you will almost certainly be the supreme commander."
"And this leaf will naturally be kept in your hands temporarily under the advice of the elves. Don't say you don't want it. You will almost certainly be a demigod in the future, and the lifespan of a demigod is almost endless. So in a sense, you are the least likely to embezzle this leaf."
"So, the moment the elves decided to take out this thing, whether you participated in the auction or not, you had already stepped into their conspiracy."
"So what happens next?"
Iwanaga Kotoko said this and looked at Odis and asked.
At this moment, Odis only felt that the hearts of these people playing tactics were too dirty. People like him were not suitable for these things. Sure enough, it was simpler to listen to Confucius' teachings.
After all, if I hear the truth in the morning, I can die in the evening.
"If I become the commander-in-chief, I will definitely become the focus of everyone's attention. The leaf in my hand will also become the object of competition among many forces. And the ally I won over before may be the most dangerous one!"
Kotoko Iwanaga gave her an expression that said, "You're not that stupid," and continued speaking.
"You're right. If your father-in-law asks you for something, will you give it to him? If the Pope of the Holy See asks you for something, will you give it to him? If you can't get what you want, allies? Sometimes it's not as safe as strangers."
"It should be said that it is indeed an open conspiracy. Even if we know what the other party is going to do, it is difficult to stop and destroy it."
"At this point, whether you take out the leaves or not, it's wrong. In fact, the more you do, the more measures you will take. In the end, you will really become the public enemy of the mainland and be left alone."
"Even your subordinates may not be unmoved by it. After all, immortality is a temptation."
"By that time, there will be very few people supporting you, and the first step of the elves' plan will be successful."
Odis felt a little scalp tingling after hearing this and asked subconsciously.
"Is this just the first step?"
"Yes, this is just the first step. After all, after the formation of the coalition, the elves have another goal to achieve, which is to defeat the Black Queen. Let me ask you, if you control all the troops on the continent now to fight against the Black Queen and her monsters, how would you choose to deal with it?"
This question made Odis fall into deep thought. After more than five minutes, Odis said, "To win, the best tactic is the decapitation tactic."
Odis was too embarrassed to admit that he had copied homework again. Well, he held the enemy from the front and then sent a surprise attack from behind. This move was a strategy he copied from Wei Qing and Huo Qubing's strategies for defeating the Huns.
Upon hearing Otis's answer, Iwanaga Kotoko applauded.
"You are right. You are worthy of being the strongest commander on this continent. There may not be any commanders of the same level as you on this continent, but there are still commanders of the next level."
"So, you only know how to fight against monsters, and you may not always be on the front line of the battlefield as a commander."
"So, who will lead that special force to behead the Black Queen?"
Chapter 80: The God of Wisdom with Insightful Eyes
The Seventh Fortress, Art Auction Hall.
When Odis regained consciousness, he saw a chaotic scene. After communicating with the king, the representatives of various countries were like crazy, constantly increasing the stakes.
Odis watched these people's constant quotations with cold eyes. Eleonora and Prim kept quoting new prices. They were crazy. Everyone went crazy when faced with the temptation of immortality.
No, there is still one person who is awake, and that is Kaguya!
As a shrine maiden of God, Kaguya doesn't care too much about life and death. Death is just a return to the embrace of God. After all, Izanami is the goddess of death and controls the kingdom of Hades.
For Kaguya, death is as comfortable as going home.
Odis turned his gaze to Kaguya, and Kaguya's gaze at this moment was also looking at him.
"Would you like to go for a walk?"
"it is good."
The two exchanged glances, stood up at the same time, and walked out of the auction hall. Celestine was very satisfied with everything that happened here, but the next second she saw Odis and Kaguya leave the hall at the same time.
At this moment, a chilling murderous intent surged in Celestine's heart, but the murderous intent only flashed by for a moment, because she did not dare to show it at this moment.
She is a kind and gentle goddess, yes, but she is the goddess of the elves, not humans.
Who told you that elves and humans are friends? Sorry, never!
When Odis was about to reach the door, he suddenly felt something was wrong, so he turned back to look at Celestine, and this look almost broke Celestine's defense. Because, his eyes were full of mockery and ridicule.
What did he see? No, it couldn't be!
Celestine was confident that she and Seraphina, the reincarnations of the goddess, had spent countless efforts to come up with a plan that would be impossible to be seen through. How could human wisdom compete with God?
(Iwanaga Kotoko: [picking her nose] Who isn’t a god? Sorry, I’m the god of wisdom.)
At this moment, Odis and Kaguya were walking in the Seventh Fortress, surrounded by long-eared elf girls everywhere. Odis was very curious, are there no men in the elf tribe?
Compared to the First Fortress, this place is obviously much more gorgeous. The houses on both sides of the street have intricate and exquisite patterns, and the flowers, plants and towering trees on both sides are all carefully cared for.
Kaguya was silent and didn't say anything. Looking at her cold appearance, Otis couldn't help but stretched out his hand to hold the slender waist of the miko, and his hand was a little dishonest.
Of course, after last night's battle, he is now in sage mode, which is rare. He does this not for Shise, but because he wants to see other expressions on Miss Kaguya's face.
You know, even when he was having some in-depth communication with Kaguya, the great priestess Kaguya basically kept a straight face throughout the whole process. Unless it reached the climax, it was difficult to see other emotions on her face.
However, Otis was very keenly aware that Kaguya seemed very afraid that this kind of intimate behavior would be seen by other people, just like that day when Kaguya was sitting in his arms and was seen by the little witch who ran in to report the news. Otis felt the changes in Kaguya's body and the shy and angry look in the witch's eyes.
Wow, it’s exciting and interesting just thinking about it.
Being held in Odis's arms, Kaguya struggled subconsciously. However, without her divine descent, she was no match for Odis. In fact, even if she did, she was still a weak spellcaster. At such a close distance, it was very likely that Odis would practice the Edo Forty-Eight Techniques.
"Don't move, or I'll kiss you."
Odis's threat was effective, and Kaguya's struggling body in his arms instantly calmed down. At this moment, the two of them were walking on the street of the Seventh Fortress like an intimate couple.
"Tell me about the Seventh Fortress."
Odis is still in the sage time, so he has no intention to do anything to Kaguya. After hearing what Odis said, Kaguya was relieved. So she started to introduce the situation of the Seventh Fortress to Odis. It was obvious that Kaguya had no intention of mentioning what the elves were hiding, and told everything she knew.
The Seventh Fortress was built by the elves and is located at the innermost part of the Seven Shields Fortress. The overall layout of the Seven Shields Fortress is actually a Y-shape, consisting of the First Fortress, the Second Fortress, and the Third Fortress. The Fourth Fortress blocks all the passes leading into it.
The two branches of this Y-shape are long and short. If you want to attack the third and fourth fortresses, you must first capture the first fortress, otherwise you will not be able to advance. The fifth fortress of the dwarves is the kind that provides logistics support, weapons and city defense equipment.
In addition to providing a crusader army to ensure logistical security, the Sixth Fortress of the Holy Kingdom also needs to provide therapeutic drugs and auxiliary professions such as priests to the front line.
The last logistical support is the food, water, and various magic items of the elves. Because of this, the seventh fortress is the weakest in combat among all the fortresses. If an enemy attacks here, it can basically surrender.
The seventh fortress is usually commanded by Celestine, and Claudia from the sixth fortress provides assistance in defense. Most of the half-elf women are archers and mages, while the men are generally sword dancers and wanderers, with a strong focus on high attack and fragile skin.
Odis immediately thought that if he attacked this place in the future, he might be able to cooperate with the Holy Kingdom. Ahem, there is no rush for this matter. For now, we still have to deal with the Black Queen first.
The Seventh Fortress is home to one thousand high elves, thirty thousand elves, and about fifty thousand half-elves. This is a large number for the elves, who have a population of less than one million.
But for humans and dwarves, the number of people is pitifully small. It is not enough for a fortress, so people from the Holy Kingdom come to assist in the defense.
Even though there are only a few elves, almost all of them know one or two spells, and the ratio of spellcasters is astonishing. Among the 30,000 elves, nearly half are spellcasters, and each of the more than 1,000 high elves is a gold-level wizard.
After saying this, Kaguya did not continue to speak because that was all she knew. However, for Odis, this information was enough.
While the two were talking, they had already walked a long way. Compared with the area where the auction hall was located, there were a lot more people here, but the buildings were also much simpler. To be precise, this should be the dividing point between the area where humans live and the area where elves live.
Odis and Kaguya were standing at the junction of the elves' and humans' residential areas at this moment. It was only separated by a street, but it gave people a feeling of being in two different worlds.
Chapter 81: Master, I need to prepare two sets of pajamas and stockings, right?
This meeting was pretty much what Iwanaga Kotoko had expected. Odis had no objection to the alliance. As long as the Black Queen was alive, he would never have a stable rear.
Just like the Qin Dynasty in the past, if it wanted to go east through Hangu Pass, it had to first resolve the threat of the Yiqu people. Otherwise, with the six kingdoms in front and Yiqu in the back, how could the six generations of power remain?
Kotoko Iwanaga's analysis was very accurate. This alliance was different from the Seven Shields. It was a true union of countries across the continent. If all races except the elves had only worked but not put in any effort before, this time, things were different.
Under the temptation of the leaves of the world tree, no king could resist the temptation of immortality.
The Black Queen cannot fight the whole world, that is inevitable, but the elves cannot afford to offend her. If she had not been squatting in the North, she would have been truly conquered long ago.
Therefore, victory is almost certain in this battle, but there are different kinds of victory. A tragic victory and a great victory are both victories.
In order to reduce losses, it is almost inevitable that Odis will become the commander. No soldier would be unwilling to see a general who has won every battle become his commander.
And Odis is more than qualified for this position in terms of identity, status and ability.
The elves' conspiracy is based on this.
Odis watched all this happen without making any statement, but at the end he asked about his rights and obligations, as well as... the supplies and troops that could be mobilized.
Soon, the meeting ended, and Odis, Alicia, Prim, and Kaguya all returned to the First Fortress. Prim was a little unhappy that Kaguya had come with them, but she didn't show it.
Odis didn't rush to find Kaguya for some in-depth communication, but directly dragged Alicia and Prim to the palace where he lived. Prim and Alicia didn't know his intention at first, and their faces turned red.
Prim, in particular, didn't dare to look up when she looked at Alicia.
"Prim, what are you doing standing at the door? Come in."
Prim, who was standing at the door, shuddered all over like a kitten whose tail was stepped on when Odis called her, and then spoke in a soft and cute voice.
"Sorry... Two people, what? I, I really can't answer..."
"What's wrong with you two? I called you here to discuss something with you. What are you afraid of?"
Odis was confused and didn't understand what Prim meant, but when he saw Prim's red face, he suddenly seemed to think of something, and then he said "oh". The tone was very strange, making Prim's already red face even redder.
Alicia had already entered the door, but when she heard the conversation between the two people, she couldn't help but look back. Although she just became a woman yesterday, it was her first time with more than a dozen companions, and Alicia almost understood what Prim meant in seconds.
Well, in a sense, the gap between a girl and a woman, a young woman and a young girl is just that big.
Prim was extremely embarrassed and annoyed by the look in her cousin's eyes. She thought, if it weren't for what happened between you and your dozen men yesterday, would I have thought too much? However, she only thought about it in her mind and could not say it out loud.
When the three of them sat down in Odis's reception room, Odis said directly: "The covenant has been signed, and you two are now my fiancées, so now I have something I hope you can help me with."
Straight to the point, Odis said directly that you and I are in the same boat, and I need your help with something.
"Mr. Odis, what is the matter?"
The little princess Prim did not agree immediately, but asked politely.
After all, she is still just Odysseus's fiancée. Only when she really marries Odysseus will she regard herself as the mistress of the Siwaash Territory. As long as she is not married, she is still the Flower Moon Princess of Eos and has to consider the Kingdom of Eos.
"It's not a big deal. There is a group of refugees who admire my deeds and plan to go to my territory, so I need you to let them go and give them some food and medicine."
"How many people are there?"
"There were not many of them, probably only a few tens of thousands, men, women, old and young, without any weapons, just a group of poor people without a place to live."
Odis was not lying. The number of refugees at one time would not be too large. Otherwise, if there were tens or hundreds of millions of them, it would not be called a refugee wave, but the Yellow Turban Army.
"Where do these refugees come from? If possible, I hope Mr. Odis can tell me, thank you."
"These refugees are all from the Kingdom of Lufen. I told you before that Princess Lilia of the Kingdom of Lufen has now proclaimed herself the Queen of Lufen and has become my fiancée, so these refugees from the Kingdom of Lufen are naturally my subjects."
"The people of the Kingdom of Lufen... tens of thousands of people..."
Prim did not answer immediately, but turned her gaze to her sister Alicia. Her meaning was obvious. She wanted her to evaluate whether this incident would cause problems for the safety of the First Fortress and the Second Fortress.
The Great Snow Dragon Riders are now outside the First Fortress. Once the city gate is opened, it means that if the enemy is ruthless enough, they can directly step on the corpses of the refugees and kill their way into the First Fortress.
Seeing Prim's questioning look, Alicia naturally understood what he meant. But my silly sister, do you really think we can handle it? If we could handle it, why would your father marry you and me there?
You can never guess what the intention of the military god who has never lost is. By the time you find out, he is already on the verge of death. Even if you are a little stupid, you may not even know where the knife to kill you comes from at that time.
"Of course, but these refugees must obey our orders. If anyone dares to cause trouble, I will order them to be killed on the spot. Also, is there only one wave of refugees?"
Alicia asked. In her opinion, Odis must have his own intentions in doing this, but it was hard to say who he was targeting.
"There will be a second wave. This wave of refugees may be larger, about 100,000."
"Hundreds of thousands of refugees?"
Alicia was silent for a moment, and then she exchanged glances with Prim. After about five minutes, Prim nodded and said yes. Just as they finished talking about their business, Luca appeared from nowhere.
