There was silence in the conference room, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the stinky elder fox. In principle, my suggestion is a correct delaying tactic, but the problem is that it requires the goblins to take the initiative to burn flowers and plants, which is something they find difficult to accept.
There was a sudden banging sound in the originally silent conference room, and a light-blond-haired goblin sitting in the middle seat suddenly slapped the table and stood up.
"Great Elder, this is a despicable behavior of human beings. We must not use this method to fight!"
A red-haired elf sitting in the third position under the Great Elder's right hand was very nervous and stopped the general from speaking. The blond goblin stared at me fiercely, while Lily had an embarrassed expression and whispered in my ear.
The blond fairy's name is Ju Nian, and he is an outstanding martial arts expert among the new generation. He was about the same age as Lily, but he had already stood out from over 10,000 soldiers and became the leader of a division of 10,000 spearmen. He was young and successful, so it was no wonder that he could speak incoherently. He had pursued Lily in the past, but that time was when Lily needed to practice behind closed doors as a magician. She didn't want to hinder her practice because of emotional problems, so she ended up letting it go.
What a blessing.
A rare beauty like Lily should be "spoiled" by this young master.
As for the red-haired goblin named Chizhi, he is Ju Nian's father and the elder's cousin. He serves as the general staff of the goblin clan and enjoys high prestige in the clan.
"Ju Nian! Don't be rude."
"Dear father, great elder, please forgive Ju Nian for being too upright. Protecting life in the forest is the sacred mission of us goblin tribesmen. Setting fire to flowers and plants is despicable and cowardly. What the rats did, even our military morale may be shaken by this, so Ju Nian hopes that the elder will reject this suggestion!"
Dozens of dignitaries in the conference room were silent again, and everyone's attention was not focused on the elder. Just stare hard in my face. Most of them agreed with what Ju Nian said and were full of repulsion towards me.
But, it seems that it is hundreds of years too early for him to defeat this young master just by being a tough soldier.
"Brother Ju Nian said it well. Setting fire to grass is indeed an evil deed of human beings. Well, I haven't asked my brother about his position in the lawsuit yet?"
"Young general Ju Nian, the leader of the spearmen of the sixth company of the Holy Fairy Clan, with a sword in his hand. For the sake of "Silver Light", I will drink the blood of the invaders, Baron, please remember."
When Ju Nian spoke proudly, the word "baron" became more serious, as if he was mocking my hereditary rank. That arrogant face looked at me with disdain, and from time to time he stared at Lily sitting next to me, which made me really want to go up and slap him twice. The other generals at the end of the banquet also looked at me shamelessly. In this era, only heroes and warriors can win the hearts of the people, whether in the human world or the fairy clan.
"Well, Captain Ju Nian is really broad-minded and one of the best among men! Such talents are rare in a hundred years. Noble talents are emerging in large numbers. It is gratifying. I just don't know how many great victories Commander Ju Nian has fought and how many beheads he has killed. Where is the enemy?"
"Huh?!"
Ju Nian, who originally looked majestic, froze on the spot as if he had suffered a stroke, and his foul face became even more ugly.
I am well versed in the customs and history of various places. The natural enemy of the holy goblins is the dark goblin. The last bloody battle between the two tribes was four hundred years ago, so the young goblins who are two or three hundred years old simply lack the opportunity to fight.
"Hey, distinguished Commander Ju Nian, you don't mean to say that you have never been on the battlefield, do you?"
"This..."
I shook my head leisurely, and added another dumb smile, then However, all the generals in the squad looked stunned, and even the Great Elder and Elder Chizhi were extremely embarrassed.
"A soldier who has never been on the battlefield is like a virgin who has never touched a woman. It is useless to just rely on words."
"You!!"
Ju Nian looked so angry that he almost burst out. Blood, but unable to fight back against my words. For soldiers, their performance on the battlefield is the source of prestige, followed by their martial arts skills and everything else is unimportant.
"Hey hey hey... I wonder if anyone here has heard of the deeds of our country's "Three Three Three Heroes"?"
"I have."
Se Lie, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up, and the others couldn't help but concentrate. After all, Se Turtle is the leader of the magician group and the most prestigious officer in the army. With his testimony, no one else can find fault.
"Time flies, and five years have passed before you know it. At that time, the northern part of the empire was invaded by an army of 150,000 orcs, but the three major counties in the north only had about 30,000 troops. The strength of the two sides was disproportionately different. But if However, if the border was breached, there would be ten counties in the north, and millions of people would be ravaged by the orcs. I, who was only fifteen years old at the time, was ordered to rush to Feibenli City in the north to replace the counties that died in the battle. First, I decided to help the three major counties resist the invasion of the orc army.
I worked hard to gather 400 horses from the people, and then summoned 400 young, strong and ambitious volunteers. , I and five of my subordinates personally led this force, guided by the natives, and walked more than a thousand miles to raid the orcs' grain storage, and burned all their food and grass.
In the end, you all should know that the orcs. Forced to retreat due to lack of food and grass, we finally solved the danger of destroying the city and protected the lives of millions of civilians. However, three of my retainers died gloriously in battle, and only sixty-seven of the entire army were able to return home. "The brothers who died for the country could not even bring back their bodies. All they left behind was a thin pile of suicide notes."
At this point, I couldn't help but pause and sigh.
I'm not acting, I'm actually sighing. That victory was hard won, and more than twenty brothers had been sacrificed just by sneaking into dangerous places. Three of my good friends who grew up with me died in battle to protect me, and the two retainers who survived were Riando and Kalang who are still by my side.
The reason why I was able to mature at a young age and the two of them were able to achieve something, that battle can be said to be the biggest turning point. Especially Kalang, at his age, he was able to enter the threshold of a great senior mage, thanks to that battle.
During this conversation, the disdainful look just now disappeared.
"Do you understand how it feels to see one after another, friends who are the same age and who have shared joys and sorrows, rush into the enemy camp with gunpowder and set it off?
They really put their lives in my hands, just to protect what they cherish. Although I fulfilled my duty to repel the orc army, to this day I still cannot let go of the fact that they lost their precious lives at my hands.
To me, the Baron Medal is on my chest. It does not represent glory, but it represents the blood and tears of three hundred and thirty-three good brothers. If you really want to stick to those flowers and plants, then let me and my subordinates do it. Anyway, my hands are already stained with blood. There is no need for all the noble goblin tribesmen to engage in such rat-like behavior. "
The young generals who were hostile just now were all unable to raise their heads after what I said. Even that horse turned blue and looked like he was looking for someone. The expression of drilling into a hole. Compared with my experience, his persistence in benevolence and righteousness is just a pile of rubbish.
The goblin tribe also has an advantage, that is, they are mostly loyal and honest, and they value the right and wrong of facts more than personal interests. It's actually better to be friends with them than with humans.
I winked at Se Turtle, and he nodded secretly and said, "The poisonous weeds can be replanted after they are burned, but can we rebuild after our clan has been wiped out? We have no choice but to support ourselves. I support the Baron's suggestion."
At the meeting, it was already said . There was no objection, and all the soldiers and generals were impressed by my words and the military power of the turtle.
"Since Lord Se Turtle also supports it, I, War Eagle, support the grass-burning tactic on behalf of the Archery Corps."
"I, Xue Yan, also support it on behalf of the Demon Archer Corps."
Opposite me, a rather cute female elf warrior stood up and saluted me and Se Turtle. , I also smiled and nodded, thanking you for your support. According to Lily, the leader of the Demon Archers is a blue-haired female elf named Xue Yan. I believe this is the delicacy. ． ． No. ． ． It's a beauty.
Sitting next to her was a cold-faced goblin named War Eagle. In addition to having an appearance that is pleasing to the average elf clansman, he is also said to be the best archer in the clan, capable of using a giant bow to shoot through silk threads at a distance of five hundred steps.
Due to their natural physical problems, the strongest troops of the goblins are the five thousand magicians in the hands of the turtles, followed by the world-famous forty thousand goblin archers and the ten thousand goblin demon archers. At the end, it was the turn of the 120,000 infantry and engineer regiments with the largest number of people but the lowest combat power.
With the support of the three strongest war groups, I believe other generals will not be able to object. The voices of support began to increase, but Ju stopped speaking out against anything.
"Since the three captains and most of the generals have expressed their support, if there are no other voices, I will give the order as the great elder; Se turtle immediately led the three magicians of wind, fire and thunder to the front line to prepare to set fire, and War Eagle led 40,000 Archers served as backup, and Hua She and Ju Nian each led 10,000 swordsmen and spearmen as support. "
General, take your orders!"
The four elf warriors agreed in unison and left the conference room with their men.
Thick smoke began to burn on the poisonous grass slope in the distance, and the wind magician used the power of the wind to send the poisonous smoke into every corner of the forest. No matter how powerful the dark elves are, the poisonous smoke is still enough to cause the orcs to suffer a little, and the speed of their advance will definitely be seriously affected.
But after being tricked by me, Tianshu will definitely know that I have arrived. What tricks will he use next? Suddenly, I found that I had a little expectation. Does this mean that I am not a mature commander yet?
I was sitting alone in the VIP hotel on the upper floor of Gaia, guarded by my knights at the door to prevent other goblins from coming in and harassing me. Lily followed my order and began to copy the fairy documents placed in the secret room, as well as various information about slimes.
"Lord Baron, may I please come in?"
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm glad you asked for it."
I knew from the voice that the person coming was Xue Yan, the leader of the Demonic Bow Corps. According to Lily, although she looks only fifteen or sixteen years old, she is actually older than Lily, and should be over four hundred years old.
Xueyan sat leisurely on the chair next to me, watching the grass-burning tactics being implemented in the distance.
"Please let Xueyan apologize to the Baron for the children just now. They did not mean to be enemies with the Baron." "
I understand.
"
But there was silence, and the atmosphere between us suddenly became awkward. Maybe it was because I just remembered the past that I didn't want to think of, so I wasn't even in the mood for lust, and my usually active mind seemed to be constipated and couldn't think of any topics.
When I think of Lieyan, I suddenly think of that guy.
"Miss Xueyan, do you know a dying old man named 'The Dying Old Man'?"
Xueyan was stunned for a long time, looked at me blankly, nodded, and said quietly: "Does the Baron also know this person?"
"You don't need to call me Lord Baron, just call me Avanti. Unfortunately, I do know this guy. I heard that the nobles had issued a notice wanting him, so I kept asking to see what the reward would be for catching him. . "
"Hehehe... Dying old man, you might know better if you ask Lord Se Turtle. In fact, regardless of whether they are holy fairies or dark fairies, female fairies from nine to nine hundred years old will also know about him. There is also a legend about him in our clan. Are you interested in hearing it, Mr. Yafanti?"
"Of course I am."
It's such an outrageous thing.
"According to legend..."
"Hmm..."
"According to legend, as long as a woman says a word to him, that woman will become pregnant."
"Hehehe...hahahaha...that's not it. The legend is absolutely true. Hahahahaha!"
I clapped and laughed unconsciously.
You are such a dying old man, even I have to obey you. It seems that the number of female fairies who "died" in his hands ranged from one thousand to eight hundred. He could probably form an army of women. They were powerful enough!
"By the way, Miss Xueyan is looking for me for some reason?"
"No, it's nothing. In fact, I just want to meet the rumored battlefield magician."
"I've just met him in person. What's your comment? "
I am very eloquent, courageous and knowledgeable, but the laws of my mind are difficult to capture."
"I am not difficult to capture. As long as you talk to me in secret for one night, I guarantee that you will clearly understand who I am."
"Hehehehehe... ．．Additionally, there seems to be no difference from ordinary men. "
I couldn't help but laugh. This girl named Xueyan was very interesting, but at the same time she was also wary.
"It's getting late. Miss Xueyan came here to assassinate me, why haven't you done it yet?"
The beautiful face that was originally smiling suddenly turned cold, and her pair of star-studded calls revealed even more... Shocking killing intent. At the same time, I noticed that she had a dagger in her hand.
As the general of the magic archers, Xueyan's strength is definitely better than mine. Moreover, we are located on a terrace with limited space, and she has weapons in her hands. Once an offensive and defensive battle begins, the chance of me being killed before summoning the guards is very high. big.
"Sir Turtle called you a battlefield magician. I originally sneered at you, but now I understand the truth of 'there is no virtual warrior under fame'. I wonder how the baron knew Xue Yan's motives?"
"Actually, it's very simple, it's you. That sentence "seems to be no different from ordinary men." From my observation, elf men are more conservative and simple. You should be referring to human men,
but this is too strange, because I remember that there have been no female elfs for many years. Come to the empire to visit, then why do you know about the men in our country? That's why I became suspicious and discovered the lady's intention. Miss Xueyan, why don't we play a game? It's my last wish before I die. "
Huh, how brave. I wonder what game you want to play?"
"The game is very simple, but also very complicated. If I say even half a sentence wrong next time, you can kill me immediately."
Xue Yan was slightly stunned. , but soon regained her composure. The dagger in her hand was pointed at my throat. It glowed blue under the reflection of the sun. I believe it must be covered with poison.
"It's almost sunset, let's start the game."
