Chapter 1308: Shifting the Blame

To intimidate an individual may bring someone into submission.

To intimidate a group may cause the group to back down.

But intimidating towns is not so easy.

In terms of strength, although the five major towns in Hefeng Continent are superior to each other, the difference is only very small.

It's not as if one town is afraid of another town to the point of death.

Unless multiple cities and towns unite to act as a deterrent, it may be effective, but is this possible?

Moonlight City has indeed signed a strategic alliance with Fort Vicky, but this does not mean that it can affect Fort Vicky. At the same time, it does not mean that if Moonlight City causes trouble, Fort Vicky will step in to solve it.

Throughout history, there were more than just these five towns in the Zephyr Continent. At that time, stars were shining brightly and hundreds of cities were contending.

Among them, many small and medium-sized towns have signed strategic alliances in order to preserve their own strength and fight against powerful foreign enemies.

Obviously, this approach is effective. However, its effectiveness is short-lived. After the alliance collapses, powerful enemies will come to the territory and push past.

It is recorded in historical documents that the reason why these small countries were destroyed was that some small countries liked to cause trouble, and they made it so big that other allies could not bear their troubles, so they chose to tear up the contract.

Speaking of which, the contract is just a piece of empty words. Maintaining the contract may be talked about as a gentleman's behavior, but why not tear up the contract?

It is common for small towns to break contracts without permission as recorded in historical documents, not to mention being called the top of the five most powerful towns!

Therefore, in the face of common interests, it is better for Moonlight City not to take the lead in causing trouble. This is not only for the stability of the two towns, but also for the long-term stability of Moonlight City.

I told the Elf Queen my thoughts.

The Queen was silent for a moment and said: "What if the Lord of Han City, York City, acted unreasonably first?"

"you mean"

"During your busiest days, the Lord of York and Seoul met with me for an interview," she said. "The content he discussed with me was about Bai Yunying."

"Is he still unwilling to give up?" I frowned.

The Elf Queen shook her head slightly and said: "York, the strongest guild in Seoul, is jokingly called 'the guild that ran away from the president'. That man will never give up on such humiliation."

The Elf Queen raised her head, her eyes deep and firm: "Just like his father."

The father of the Lord of York and Han City. It seems that I have never heard of this character's deeds. If you have a chance, ask the leader of the goblin clan.

After listening to the Elf Queen's words, I couldn't help but say: "This man really has no grace, and he doesn't even think about who forced Bai Yunying away in the first place."

"It is precisely because Bai Yunying was forced to leave, but not abandoned, that why he repeatedly forced us to return him."

The Elf Queen took a breath and said: "Although Bai Yunying's strength is still insufficient compared to the real strong ones, she is still young after all, and her future development prospects are extremely promising, and she may even become a force in the town!"

"Town power?" I asked confused.

"It is a group composed of the most powerful people in the town. These people live in seclusion in the city all year round and will only appear when the town encounters a great crisis."

Hearing this, my heart twitched and I blurted out, "What level of strength can these people reach?"

The Elf Queen thought for a moment and said: "Probably. It's similar to the legendary hero back then."

Damn it!

Breaking the news!

Why, if I hadn’t asked the Elf Queen to come out for a discussion today, I wouldn’t have known about it!

If he accidentally broke into Airui City and encountered such a group of guys, he wouldn't even know how he died!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shudder.

"What's wrong with you?" the Elf Queen asked with concern.

"It's okay." I shook my head, "I just felt like what I just said touched me."

"Oh? What kind of touch? Tell me."

"I just think that the Lord of York Han City must be a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder and has a strong desire to control. Otherwise, why would he keep forcing Bai Yunying from you?"

"The desire for control, yes, you are right about this," the Queen said, "But not only him, but every city lord has a very strong desire for control, including me."

As she spoke, she let out a breath and said, "It's not that we like to control certain people's behavior or influence their thoughts. Speaking of which, it is really helpless for us to do this."

"Huh?" I expressed confusion.

"The power that is not in your hands is not your true power." The Elf Queen said, "This is what my grandma told me. I believe that the ancestors of other city lords also taught them this."

"I see," I said, "No wonder the Lord of Han City, York, repeatedly asked for Bai Yunying because of this incident. But, having said that, since he values ​​Bai Yunying's power so much, why does he force Bai Yunying to marry? For people who don’t like it, I don’t understand it.”

The Elf Queen said: "This is also a way of forming an alliance, relying on marriage to maintain the relationship between the two towns."

"You said that, but I don't understand. That's Bai Yunying's marriage. What does it have to do with the town?"

"Because Bai Yunying is the president of the Silver Wings Guild, and the Silver Wings Guild is the exclusive guild of York Han City and belongs to the town force. Similarly, the Golden Flame Guild, like the Silver Wings Guild, is also the town force of Airui City. When the two parties The combination of the top commanders of the town's forces will invisibly link the two towns together."

"If the alliance is successful, then after the alliance is formed, which party should have the highest command of the two guilds?" I asked puzzledly.

"This problem is not something we can care about," the Elf Queen said.

I roughly thought about the Queen's words, and in a daze, I had some insights, so I asked: "Your Majesty the Queen, is my relationship with Emily considered a marriage alliance to maintain the relationship between Moonlight City and Fort Vicky?"

The Elf Queen pondered for a moment and said: "It seems that you have discovered that, yes, Emily can become your fiancée not only out of her will, but also with my tacit approval."

No wonder Emily planned to resign from the position of president of the Rose Legion after her great revenge was avenged. It turned out to be to avoid troubles between herself and the Elf Queen. She was really thoughtful.

"So, Your Lady Queen, after the Lord of Han City mentioned Bai Yunying to you, how did you answer him?"

"I told him about you and Bai Yunying," the queen said with a smile, "and told him that if he wants Bai Yunying, he should come to you."

"Ah?" I was shocked: "Your Lady Queen, you are so unreasonable in throwing the blame!"

She shrugged and said: "Although you are the elder of Moonlight City and my subject, I have no right to interfere with your marriage life. Therefore, you still have to bear some things by yourself and think carefully about how to deal with them. As for the Lord of York and Han City, if my guess is correct, he will find you soon."
