Chapter 2004 Exclusion and Intervention

Not to mention the blow to morale caused by the successive sacrifices of top-level forces, Xia Duo did not need to guess, he could directly assert that two more at most would be the limit that Sluvende could bear.

If the high mage loses too much, even if he has a trump card, even if various countries intervene, it may be a luxury to hope for a revival in the future.

But this is actually a good thing for Shado. In fact, now he has an excuse to show up and intervene, but compared to Yeerlan, Slvend's potential and ambition worry him more.

If Sluvender must exist, it would obviously be in his interests to keep a disabled Sluvender.

In addition, there is no news about the demon descendant until now. The reason why Shado can still sit still is not only because he wants to wait for Sluvende and Ye Erlan to continue to consume and force out each other's trump cards, but also because he is waiting for the demon. The thoughts picked out by Yi.

"So, how long do we have to wait?"

Of course, Xia Duo was not bored waiting. While monitoring the battlefield situation, he actually had more things to do, such as sorting out the knowledge star map for Jay, designing test papers, answering questions and solving problems, etc.

These don't take up much energy. As long as the war situation changes, he can set off immediately.

…

Meanwhile, Everriska.

In the headquarters of the Northland Alliance, a secret meeting excluding Ye Erlan and Sluvende was going on quietly. Most of the participants were elves, but there were also humans and dwarves.

"I didn't expect Ye'erlan to make such a big fuss before the war, but they still failed to capture Sluvende. I really wonder how they won back then!"

The first person to start the conversation was a golden elf from Ilfaran. After him, the Cormanthor envoy spoke with tacit understanding:

"The main force in that battle was probably Salvin, but it was only later that Erlan took advantage of him, and ended up riding on Salvin's head. I think the Salvin envoy should be more impressed by this!"

The last sentence made the eyes of the envoys in the conference room focus on Envoy Salvin. However, although Ye Erlan's secret meeting is currently excluded, it is just that Envoy Ye Erlan has not been invited. Who knows if there is an informer from Ye Erlan. !

Even if not, Messenger Salvin can guarantee that as long as he accidentally says something to complain, he does not need to wait until the next day. I am afraid that it will be reported to Ye Erlan the next moment.

In the current game between big powers, it is best for small countries to stay away.

It's just that many times, if you don't look for trouble, trouble will come to you. Messenger Salvin feels like this at the moment. It is obvious that he has no sense of existence.

But Envoy Ilfaran and Envoy Cormanso, you and he spoke almost every sentence without departing from Salvin, and they seemed to really want to complain for Salvin.

But no one who can sit in this room is a fool. Messenger Salvin knows very well that the current battle between Yeerlan and Sluvende is indeed anxious, but it is not the reason for Salvin to jump out.

Slvende cannot be Ye Erlan's opponent. Once the opponent frees up his hands, with Salvin's current strength, he may follow in Slvende's footsteps.

Although he disliked Erlan very much in his heart, Salvin did not say a word.

But in this way, Ilfaran and Comanso were inevitably offended. "Emissary Salvin, are you dissatisfied with us? Why didn't you say a word? Or is it that Salvin is dissatisfied with our two countries?" , must we face it in silence?”

"I--"

Ambassador Salvin was full of aggrievedness, but he still managed to squeeze out a smile and said that he was not dissatisfied, and Salvin had no dissatisfaction with the two countries.

Ilfaran was about to continue questioning, but was interrupted by envoy Evereska: "Envoy, please don't embarrass envoy Salvin. Yeerlan is a strong country. Although it suffered a setback, it is not something that small countries like us can comment on. "

"Oh? Doesn't that mean Evereska doesn't want to know the real reason for the death of Great Elder Ankalita?"

Upon hearing this, envoy Evereska's eyes showed anger, but he still said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone:

"The Council of Elders has concluded that Elder Ankarita was assassinated by a demon. It has nothing to do with either Yeerlan or Sluvende. We will only pursue the demon."

Regarding the assassination of Elder Ankalita, there are different opinions on the mastermind behind it.

It is said that it belongs to Sruvend, and the purpose is to form an alliance of small countries behind Evereska, but this statement is baseless and does not conform to normal logic. Sruvend has experienced a defeat in the war and his national strength has declined, so how can he still have the ability? One more enemy.

The more believable theory is that Yeerlan was the mastermind. The rumor of the demon assassination was first reported from Yeerlan, using the name of the demon to kill Ankarita. This not only attacked the alliance of small countries led by Evereska, but also found The reason for launching a war against Sluvender.

In fact, Ye Erlan did launch the war on the grounds that Sluvende was infiltrated by the demon. This is hard not to make people think of it.

But the strange thing is that the demon assassination theory was also recognized by Sluvend. According to common sense, Slvend should deny it, so as to not give Erlan a reason to launch a war.

But they just admitted it, taking the risk of national subjugation, and there must be evidence that is difficult to refute. Perhaps this is the main reason why the Ephraim Council of Elders determined that Ankarita was assassinated by a demon.

The secondary reason is of course that she can't afford to offend Ye Erlan. Even if Ye Erlan really killed her, what can Evereska do? Rather than having to swallow their anger, this outcome is already considered the best for them.

But now, the main theme of this secret meeting is the war between Yeerlan and Sruvend. Emissary Ilfarang obviously does not want to let go of envoy Evereska, and continues to provoke:

“The assassination of Great Elder Ankalita in Sruvend territory was not only a loss for Evereska, but also a provocation to the Northland Alliance.

"Originally, the Northland Alliance was preparing to send an investigation team to Sluvende to investigate the specific story of the incident. I didn't expect that the war would come so quickly, and the scene of the assassination was completely destroyed immediately. It's hard not to think about this. !”

This is indeed a doubtful point, but again, even if it is really Ye Erlan who did it, Evereska is unable to pursue it. The most he can do is protest to the Northland Alliance, but how effective will this be?

The envoy of Everriska even said that the most important thing for Everriska right now is not to track down the murderer, but to inherit the great elder's legacy and stabilize the alliance of small countries.

Only in this way will Evereska have room to speak in the future Northland Alliance. Otherwise, she will be like Salvin today. She can only laugh along with anything others say and respond in silence.

…

"Okay, let's stop digressing. Ilfarang summoned us here, presumably not to avenge Elder Ankarita, but let's talk about business!"

The speaker was the only human being present, the messenger from the Seven Towers. Although his words were somewhat disrespectful to the late Great Elder Everriska, he unexpectedly won the favor of the messenger Everriska.

After the envoy of the Seven Towers spoke, the envoy of Ilfaran stopped messing around. Netheril still had to give face. After all, the two countries were still allies.

And if Netheril can be persuaded to participate, Ellan will definitely suffer a big loss!
