Chapter 236: While the Snipe and the Clam Fight, the Fisherman Benefits?

Outside Hutton City, Chen Ping did not immediately participate in the battle. Instead, he flashed and came to Sha Lan.

"What's going on? Why did the dark elves come here?" Chen Ping asked directly.

"Captain Chen, you're back!" Seeing Chen Ping's appearance, Shalan seemed to have seen a savior and was relieved.

"It's a long story. The situation is urgent now. Let's find a way to repel the dark elves first! But... it's best not to hurt them!" Shallan warned.

Although the requirements for entering the Grand Mage Guild only depend on talent and strength and have nothing to do with race, most of the people in the guild are light elves, and Shalan is also from the light elf tribe.

The light elves and the dark elves are, in a sense, the same race, and they still maintain contact.

Before the war started, the Dark Elves declared in advance that this matter had nothing to do with the Light Elves, and hoped that the Grand Mage Guild would not interfere. After they invaded Hutton City, they promised not to actively attack the Grand Mage Guild, and could even send people to protect them. But if the Grand Magician Guild takes the initiative to provoke, it will start a war between the two races.

Even if the principality is gone, the Grand Magician's Guild can still operate in another location, but if it provokes a war between the two clans, Shallan cannot afford it.

What's more, with the current situation of the principality, even if it deals with the dark elves, with the strength of the Great Magician Guild, it will be difficult to withstand the attacks of the northern tribes and the Des Empire.

After weighing the pros and cons, Shalan was reluctant to take action.

"I understand!" Chen Ping nodded, ducked again, and reached Su Qianqian and others outside the city.

"Try not to hurt anyone, focus on repelling them!"

Hearing this, Su Xixi showed a hint of disappointment on her face, but she still nodded in agreement.

"Bang!"

Su Xixi took the lead, leaping up and hitting the dark elf's back like a cannonball.

Those level five dark elves are concentrated in front. No matter how strong Su Xixi's shield is, she doesn't want to risk her life to provoke them.

Xiao Hei transformed into a human form, holding two men, and the nine-tailed fox revealed its true body and jumped out of the scroll, following Su Xixi, directly disrupting the formation of the dark elves.

"Whoosh!"

Yan Ling held the scarlet flame sword and cut into the battlefield from the front like a meteor. Without using magic, Chen Ping was far inferior to Yan Ling. Facing those fifth-level dark elves, Yan Ling was not afraid at all. Prevented these high-level battles against Su Xixi and others.

"Uh-huh!"

Aaliya waved her staff, and Xiaobai chanted in a low voice. One of them added several layers of shield to Yan Ling, and the other allowed Yan Ling to fully activate his abilities.

"boom!"

Xena took out a sniper rifle, and Kehel waved his staff to provide long-distance fire interference.

Before Chen Ping could take action, the Dark Elf's "army" showed signs of collapse.

"Retreat first! Save your strength!"

When the leader of the dark elves saw that their formation was in chaos and Shalan was still in the city, they decided to retreat.

Yan Ling and others also gave up at the first sight and did not pursue.

"If I had known these people were so easy to deal with, I wouldn't have had to let them come in a spaceship!" Chen Ping murmured.

"You brought reinforcements?" Shallan asked.

"That's right!" Chen Ping nodded.

"The ones who attacked the city just now were only the vanguard of the dark elves, and the Snow Clan from the north also attacked again!"

If there were only dark elves, Shallan might have taken action long ago, but the principality's subsequent enemies are almost countless, and its demise may be just a matter of time. It is really unwise to tie up a magic guild for this.

After all, Shalan not only has to consider her own life and death, she also has to plan for the future of the Grand Mage Guild, especially the Grand Mage Guild without a wizard in charge. If it wants to survive, it needs to walk on thin ice.

"How long will it take for the follow-up army of dark elves to arrive?"

"About ten days or so!"

"That should be in time. Reinforcements should arrive within ten days!"

Chen Ping calculated the time and found that it took ten days to get from Heaven to Blue Star.

Yeying took the soldiers of the principality to rest in front of the city wall. Shalan took Chen Ping and others to the palace to meet the queen. On the way, she told Chen Ping the causes and consequences of the war.

At the beginning, all the tribes in the Bali continent worked together to fight against the demons and apostles. In the end, three apostles and six demon gods were sealed, and seven demon gods were completely wiped out.

Three of the apostles were sealed in the Des Empire, Xu Zu and the Principality. The criminal apostles of the Principality were "purified" by Chen Ping and others. The other two sealed places were relatively peaceful.

The Snow Tribe in the north has been guarding the Demon God's seal for generations, but the living environment in the north has become increasingly deteriorating. They have long planned to move south. Especially when they learned that the apostles in the principality had been completely wiped out and there were no more safety risks, they became more determined to move. .

Subsequently, the empire also sent envoys, saying that as long as the Snow tribe captured the principality, they were willing to share the territory of the principality equally with the Snow tribe, and in the future, they would send troops to garrison the sealed land in the north to guard the seal for the Snow tribe.

As for the situation in Dark City, it is more complicated. The queen of the dark elves wants to help the principality, but the high-level infighting has been infighting for many years, and the queen's voice has been greatly weakened, and the dwarves nearby are constantly harassing her.

What's more important is that the Demon God's seal has begun to loosen. The Dark Elves have tried their best to suppress it, but it won't be long before the Demon God breaks through the seal, and the Dark Elves will inevitably be devastated.

Under high pressure, the Queen of the Dark Elves had no choice but to launch a war against the principality, and the Des Empire also promised that after capturing the principality, the empire would be willing to sign a peace agreement with the Dark Elves as long as it ceded Sands City to the empire.

This matter is not only about the interests of each tribe, but also threatens their survival.

Looking at the neighboring areas, the principality is their only option.

"While the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. The empire does not need to spend a single soldier. As long as it waits for the three-tribe war to end, it can easily take over the entire principality!"

After listening to Sharan's story, Chen Ping sighed.

"In fact, the two tribes also have contact. They may plan to conquer the principality, divide the river and rule, and then jointly resist the empire. After all, the warriors of the Snow Tribe are extremely powerful, and the mages of the Dark Elf Tribe should not be underestimated. If the two tribes unite, the empire will not dare to move lightly!"

Each tribe has its own plan, but who will be the final winner is still an unknown.

After a while, everyone entered the palace.

The haggard Skadi was thinner than when Chen Ping left, and the deep sunken eye sockets had long lost their former brilliance.

"Marquis! Have you seen the people from the heaven?" Skadi asked hopefully. This was her last straw.

"I have gone through so much trouble and hardship, and fortunately I have met the regent of the Crystal Dome Empire of the Heaven Realm and concluded an alliance. This is the handwritten letter from the regent, and he has sent the heavenly troops to support us!"

"However, the teleportation array of the Tower of Babel has been completely destroyed. It may take about ten days for the heavenly troops to come here by spaceship!"

Chen Ping handed over a letter while speaking.

Like the letter handed over to the regent of the Crystal Dome Empire, this one was also written by Chen Ping. After all, the current situation of the Crystal Dome Empire is not much better than that of the Principality, and it even hopes that the Principality can send troops to support it.

"Marquis, how many people did the heaven send?"

Skadi glanced at the letter, looked at Chen Ping, and asked the most critical question.

"It's a team of 100 people!" Chen Ping replied.

"Ah? Only a hundred people? This..." Skadi was slightly stunned, and the smile on her face froze.

This time, the Snow Tribe in the north alone sent hundreds of thousands of troops. The role that the more than a hundred people in the heavens can play may be minimal. Skadi couldn't help but show disappointment.

"Although there are not many people, they carry a large number of high-tech weapons from the heavens. It is easy to fight against ten thousand with one!"

Chen Ping also saw Skadi's disappointment and hurriedly comforted her.

"Marquis, are you serious?"

Chen Ping's words rekindled Skadi's hope, but she still felt that a mere hundred people were too few.

"Your Majesty, I have seen the strength of the people in the heavens. It is not a problem to resist the invasion of the Snow Tribe and the Elves!" Chen Ping answered confidently.

"Okay, from today on, the highest military command of the principality will be handed over to the Marquis. You can decide all military matters yourself!"

Skadi has no way out. The entire principality has less than 10,000 combat-capable troops. Now she can only go all out and choose to trust Chen Ping.

"I will do my best!"

After Chen Ping finished speaking, he led everyone to the meeting hall of the principality.

Most of the ministers of the principality are peace advocates, but the Snow Clan wants to completely destroy the principality, and there is no chance of peace talks.

In the meeting hall, the ministers who look very old are sorting out documents. The younger people have been sent to the battlefield, and even the civilian workers have been sent. In the battles of the past few days, almost all of them were killed or injured.

After Ye Ying arranged the work, he immediately rushed to the meeting hall in the palace and brought a large number of documents. The situation of each city in the principality was also reported to Chen Ping one by one.

What surprised Chen Ping was that the richest city in the whole principality, Jinsha City, was relatively well preserved. Even after several waves of attacks, the losses were not serious.

In fact, in the eyes of the Snow Clan, the principality was already in their pockets. The most important thing here was Jinsha City and the port of Jinsha City. If the losses in the war were too great, it would not be easy to rebuild.

Moreover, the main goal of this attack on the principality was to fight quickly and decisively. If they directly broke through Hutton City, the human race doing business in Jinsha City would surrender without a fight and they did not take it seriously at all.

"Brother Chen, relying on the more than 100 people and weapons in the camp, we may not be able to resist!" Xue Na whispered behind Chen Ping.

"Well, it's mainly because there are too few people!"

Chen Ping also knew that the military strength of the principality was weak. Over the years, it mainly relied on the deterrence of the Great Magician Guild and a large amount of money to subsidize the surrounding tribes, and did not develop its own military strength at all.

In fact, Skadi had long planned to expand the army, but this involved the interests of all parties and the instigation of the empire's spies, so it has not been implemented.

"How many people can Jinsha City mobilize?" Chen Ping looked at Ye Ying.

"Jinsha City still has an army of 5,000 people, but there are at least 250,000 young people in the city. The principality has ordered conscription many times, but... the mayor of Jinsha City refused!" Ye Ying was a little helpless.

"Brother Chen, Jinsha City is your fiefdom, I can take your token to recruit troops!" Xue Na volunteered.

"You? Alone? Impossible! Jinsha City has completely remained neutral, even if Jinsha Hou went there in person..." Ye Ying shook his head.

"Pah!"

Chen Ping waved his hand and threw the Jinsha Hou token given by the Queen on the table in front of Xue Na.

"The more the better, and after the recruitment is completed, they must be trained, otherwise it will be meaningless to send them to the battlefield!"

"Understood!" Xue Na picked up the token and walked out without a moment's delay.

"This..." Ye Ying was slightly stunned.

"How long will it take for the Snow Clan army to arrive?" Chen Ping asked.

"About 20 days. The last time they attacked the Principality, they took over a dozen cities and suddenly withdrew. It seems that there was a problem within the Snow Clan. This time they regrouped their army and sent out all of them. I'm afraid they are preparing to take down the Principality directly and then station here!" Ye Ying replied.

"Alia, you stay here. If anything happens, let Xixi notify me immediately. I'll be away for a few days!"

After Chen Ping explained to Alia and the others, he quickly left the meeting room.
