Chapter 314 Exchange of Interests
For the Dragonmark Family, the first thing they need to ensure is their interests in Storm Bay, that is, the output of dragon crystals.
Secondly, the additional income obtained by the representatives of the Dragonmark Family comes from the taxes of Storm Bay, which is also the reason why Carl became the boss of Storm Bay so smoothly.
When the latter is slightly damaged, these people can make a little concession.
And Iris's request has no effect on either the former or the latter.
After looking at each other, everyone has reached a consensus through the intersection of their eyes.
If they can let the psychic warlocks among the drow help to search and identify the spies of Ruiyi drow by acknowledging "faith", it will not be a loss for the Dragonmark Family, and they can even get a group of workers for free.
Of course, this is also thanks to the fact that the people of Khorvale mainly believe in the gods of destiny and the six dark gods, and they do not reject multiple beliefs in their bones.
If this were in the Theocracy of Thrane, the believers of the Silver Flame Church would directly overturn the table.
After a moment of deliberation, the representative of the Shadow Dragonmarked Feoran family came forward and said:
"In principle, we cannot agree to your request."
This person is probably the only one present who has a direct conflict of interest with Elise. After all... the elves and the drow are hostile.
But, the implicit meaning of "not in principle" is that it is actually possible.
"Don't worry, we drow are not hostile to elves. This sect is more of a mutual aid society to help ordinary drow better integrate into Khorvaire and Storm Bay."
After making a quick promise, the elves of the Feoran family retreated back into the crowd.
"In that case, the two of you should go to the prison to bail Lauren out to work. By the way, Lisanna, you go with them, and take some drow sheriffs in the Sheriff's Bureau, especially those who are employed as cluster shepherds."
Elise and Ashe can use psychic power to investigate spies, and cluster shepherds can also investigate through the weak spirits of nature.
Precisely because these spirits are weak, they are very sensitive to the outside world.
As long as the rangers who operate them can master certain tricks, they can quickly distinguish like police dogs.
Of course, the accuracy will definitely not be as high as Elise and Ashe, but it is at least a solution.
"Okay!"
Giving Carl a salute commonly used by the sheriffs of the Eludon Wilds, Lisanna took the two of them downstairs and ran to the Sheriff's Headquarters opposite to call for help.
"Everyone, now we can clearly see the hostility of Ruiyi Drael. Although we don't know what they are planning, it is always right to strike the enemy. Next, how should we fight back?"
Looking around, the relatively irritable Vigilance Dragonmark representative spoke loudly in the dwarf's unique loud voice.
The Storm Dragonmark Linland family followed closely and said: "We will summon all the ships in the nearby waters and send messages to the pirates. If a battle really occurs, I think it is safer to go over by sea."
Because of the situation in Xen'drik, a stable supply line can hardly be formed on land, and sea and air transport have become the two main options.
But air transport requires airships, which even the Dragon Mark family does not have too many of, so there is no way to transfer one to transport food and equipment.
So from a practical point of view, sea transport is more cost-effective.
After saying that, the dwarf and half elf looked at Carl at the same time.
Although Joanna manages the people's livelihood in Storm Bay, when it comes to fighting, the two still feel that Carl is more reliable.
If it weren't for the druids of the Son of Winter's whereabouts, they would even want to drag them into the water.
"I will send all my constructs to participate in the battle. Have you discussed the scale of the battle?"
Whether to fight a battle or not, and how large the battle should be, these are all important.
Storm Bay's current attitude is to use fierce resistance to warn Ruiyi Drol not to make any more small moves.
It can be said that their purpose is to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
At this stage, the combat effectiveness of both sides is still in the unvisualized stage, that is, no one knows how strong the opponent is.
And according to the attitude of the representatives of the Dragon Mark family, as long as they can hit Ruiyi Drol's port in Xen'drik, it will be a strategic victory.
As for whether to break through the other party's port and do something, it depends on the attitude of Ruiyi Zhuoer.
Fighting is not the goal, but a means to achieve the goal.
As for what to do if Ruiyi Zhuoer does not admit it?
At this time, it doesn't matter whether they admit it or not, what matters is that this battle can be won.
Because Ruiyi Zhuoer obviously came here for the rich dragon crystal resources in Xiendrik, which is the fundamental contradiction between the two sides.
As long as the two sides do not find something to replace the dragon crystal, the conflict will definitely intensify with their respective development.
These partial cognitions brought from the previous life flashed quickly in his mind. Carl looked at the different expressions of everyone and sighed slightly in his heart.
'Hey~, if I can give me some more time, I might be able to develop a more practical strange mechanical spaceship, and then attack the opponent directly from the air! '
Just thinking about it, the family representatives of the Guardian Dragon Mark and the Creator Dragon Mark said respectively:
"According to what the drow said just now, Ruiyi Zhuoer should now know that their spies have been discovered by us.
Blitzkrieg should not work, so let's take steady steps next."
"As for the scale of the war... Anyway, as long as it doesn't evolve into a century-long war like the Final War, it's fine.
Then, our Cannis family hopes to test some military equipment to test the actual effect."
Although the Cannis family, which created the dragon pattern, seems to have no presence at ordinary times, they are actually the largest arms dealer family in Eberron.
The war terracottas, which are now independent as a new race in Eberron, were developed by their original patriarch.
Speaking of which, Carl has some relationship with them, because Mooreban was one of the disciples of the patriarch who created the dragon pattern family.
If the end of the Final War ends with a relatively ordinary war, the strength of the Cannis family may become the strongest among the twelve dragon pattern families.
Unfortunately, in the huge explosion of Sayre, the main force of the Cannis family was wiped out, which also made the countless resources they accumulated in the Final War disappear together.
Their family is now in the early stage of division. After losing the former patriarch, the three enclave managers of this family have become candidates for the position of patriarch.
But more than 20 years have passed, and the three leaders of the Cannis family have not yet won the final victory.
After listening to the two people's words, Carl felt a little relieved.
'Well, it seems that time can be slowed down. I may be able to develop a more reliable spaceship before the real battle comes. '
