Chapter 539 390 The Arrangement Is Clear
"I don't know much about elves, but I know a lot about dwarves. There are many dwarves living in Altdorf. Reikland often contacts the dwarves in the Grey Mountains. Now... I can imagine what will happen a hundred years later. That must be very interesting? Unfortunately, I will be dead by then, but my name will still be the focus of your debate, Sigma, this feeling is really amazing.
Also, if I do this, will they record it? I remember they have a big book of hatred? The Book of Hatred? It records some issues about hatred. In my opinion, many of them are very small things, so small that they can be ignored, but the strange thing is that they actually record it. Down, and passed down from generation to generation.
However, it doesn't matter to me. By the time they find the problem, I will have died. They can record my name if they want, as long as they don't disturb my peace after death. "
The quill pen in William III's hand left the parchment. At this time, he probably understood why Dacus did this and the purpose of doing so. Just as Dacus said, the relationship between elves and dwarves is not friendly. He can imagine the reaction of the dwarves if he tells the truth to the dwarves. In his opinion, this is likely to make the plan fail, because the dwarves are definitely unwilling to make things designed by elves with their temper and personality.
There was a problem at the beginning, and there was no way to talk about the things that happened later. As the high priest of Sigma, William III, for the sake of mankind, for the empire, and for Sigma, even if Dacus didn't mention it, he would not tell the matter after he understood the relationship. Just like what he said to the female vampire who followed Dacus: In the face of difficulties, as long as the purpose is justified, the means are also justified. This is his style, he has always been like this.
"In my opinion, this is an extension of the dwarfs' character and a way of inheritance and continuation, but... that's it? Can they still come to Sigmar Cathedral to cause trouble? They can't drive an iron box into Altdorf and dig up your grave, right? Maybe... it will never happen? Who knows what will happen a hundred years later?" Dacus shrugged and said indifferently.
Dacus just had a fun attitude towards these things, taking one step and looking ten steps ahead, just an accessory to the main business. Maybe a hundred years later, when the relationship between elves and dwarves becomes irreconcilable again, this matter will be revealed, but the probability of this happening is very small. After all, he still wants to get the Phoenix Crown back, and it's not the case that the Phoenix Crown has been kept by the dwarves.
As for the others... In Dacus's opinion, the 13th prototype is the culmination of the knowledge of the elf spellcasters. The masters of knowledge who follow him have brought science to the extreme, yes... it is science, magicians pay attention to science, how absurd it is, but not absurd at all.
These days, the idle spellcasters have been gathered around the table in the first floor hall of the Forest House, constantly calculating and arguing. In the end, the 13th prototype has achieved a nearly perfect balance and the elves' unique obsession and pursuit of beauty. Just like the three-dimensionality of a tank, a qualified tank model must pay attention to firepower, mobility, and armor. The 13th prototype has everything, and it has reached the extreme level of technology in the world in terms of power and armor. As for artillery, it is better to leave it to humans. The elves are too unfamiliar with this thing.
If... the dwarves want to change it, it seems that they can't change it? The core of the steam tank is power, followed by armor, and finally the dispensable gun. It seems that there is no way to change anything in Daxus. Now if the power system of the steam tank is taken out separately, it can be directly enlarged to make a locomotive. This also confirmed his idea of building a railway line between Hag Graves and Naggarond to transport iron and coal to make the Duruchi war machine turn.
Maybe, the dwarves will change the steam tank beyond recognition, or find another way, or come up with something like the greenskins? But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.
"Let's get back to the topic, where was I just now? Oh, yes, lizardmen, yes, lizardmen. Maybe you don't know much about them, and don't know much about the jungle where they live. There are many triceratops in the jungle. In addition to triceratops, there are other giants, such as ankylosaurs? There are also ancient triceratops that are larger, older, and wiser.
In addition to these, there are other giants, and they have unique ways to let these giants help them fight. Since you can think of the scene of the triceratops charging, you might as well think about a group of triceratops gathering together to charge in groups, just like the knights charging. And there are not only the triceratops Charge, and the long-range firepower provided by the war equipment on the back of the ankylosaur. When necessary, the ankylosaurs will launch a second round of charge, which is no less powerful than the triceratops.
My hometown is a bitterly cold place with freezing weather, but there are many giant beasts in those mountains. In standard terms, they are evil and chaotic creatures. Our trainers will go to the mountains regularly to catch those giant beasts. Have you heard of the hydra? Just hearing this word, you can think of the horror of this giant beast. Yes, the hydra has many heads, and these heads can continue to regenerate. In addition to the head, they are very large, the scales are very tough, and they can also spit out breath.
However, there are ways to kill them completely on the battlefield, such as using multiple cannons operated by elite artillery to launch concentrated fire on them, or using powerful spells. Of course, there is also the stupidest method, letting one or Multiple warriors chopped off all those heads?
Of course, just like Triceratops and Ankylosaurus, hydras are only part of our war system. In addition to hydras, are there manticores? The Abyss Kraken is similar in position to the Hydra. Of course, in addition to these, we also have dragons. "
It may be that Darkus met William III for the last time, it may be that an elf and a human have similar personalities, or it may be something else. He always wants to say something. After talking a lot, he picked up the wine glass on the coffee table and drank.
William III originally wanted to record what Darkus said, but in the end he did not put down the pen. He kept thinking and following Darkus's description. In the process, he realized some problems, and his brows furrowed when he thought about it.
"There's no need for this. I know what you're thinking, and I also know what you're worried about. The reason why I'm telling you this is just to give you a clear understanding. Lizardmen occupy the continent of Lustria, that is, In addition to the mysterious continent mentioned by humans, the southernmost part of this continent is also their territory.
Under normal circumstances, as long as humans don't look for them in the jungle, they will not appear in front of humans. When they... appear in front of humans, it means that something very scary or important has happened, such as maintaining this The spiritual system that runs the world has collapsed, or the world is in danger of collapse. Other than that, they have no reason to come out of the jungle unless... I call them out.
By the way, I may have forgotten to introduce before. I am an elf, but more than that, I have a close connection with the lizard people, so close that those powerful spellcasters will listen to my opinions. You can understand that I am Lusqi. The great priest or pope of the Asian continent.
In fact, saying so much is just to give you a clear understanding of this world. Do you know why the elves built cities on the land under your feet in the earliest times? In addition to water transportation and the natural environment, there is another very important point. , this is the intersection of the six spiritual vein networks on this continent.
Maybe you don’t know much about what a spiritual network is, but I can give you an example, gunpowder? This metaphor may not be appropriate. Altdorf has always been on a gunpowder barrel. More than that, it is more like a warehouse storing gunpowder. You know the power of a gunpowder barrel explosion, bang!
You humans are very lucky. Nothing happened in the past two thousand years, and Altdorf was not blown up into the sky. But this is not a fluke. I wonder if Altdorf's senior officials have ever been curious? Why would those Enils from Lauren Loren build a hotel in the slums of North City where no guests ever go? I can tell you clearly now that Beicheng District is the core of the intersection of the six spiritual vein networks, and those Enils have been secretly maintaining it.
The dazzling sun that night was extracted from the spiritual veins by the caster who healed you, otherwise it would not have been so powerful, just like a pinch of gunpowder that would only produce sparks, rather than a violent explosion like a gunpowder barrel.
There's no need for that, my friend, scowling doesn't solve anything, there is always a solution, and I'm telling you this because I have a solution. "
"My friend, thank you... for letting me see another side of the world. This... please forgive me. The vocabulary I have cannot let me express my inner feelings. Please give me some time. I need to digest it. "Just a moment." When William III said this, he stretched out his trembling hand to touch the wine glass.
Darkus did not respond to William III, but kept observing. In his opinion, William III was not only his friend, but also had some very important things, such as William III's characteristics, character and the status he enjoyed in the empire. Status, this is why he asked the spellcasters to treat William III, and this is also the reason why he is willing to talk so much to William III. He wants William III, whose life span has been extended, to do more things.
Something good for the world, something good for the elves. Of course, this does not have any differences with Darkus' previous layout, but can complement each other. He had laid the groundwork before, and he was waiting for this moment. He wanted to clearly arrange William III's goals for the rest of his life. And that's not all. Even if William III dies, he will continue to shine. As long as William III lays the foundation and cultivates subsequent heirs, it can continue. The parchments and memos written by William III will become a kind of internal reference. something that will have a lasting impact.
Perhaps the parchment and memo will survive? Rather than suddenly becoming something indescribable one day, after all, this is also the way of change, but this change is for the better, which may not be what the person wants to see. But Darkus doesn't care about this. He can't not make moves because of various restrictions, whether it's playing chess or playing chess, isn't it?
"In my hometown, there is a saying that if we divide for a long time, we will unite... and if we unite for a long time, we will divide." After a long silence, Darkus suddenly sighed with emotion, and then he said, "I can't go back, that war between the elves and the dwarves. Everything was destroyed, and the dwarves became destitute and hid in the mountains, while the elves could only take root in a corner and live in the forest."
Just like a certain country, when the neighbor is weak, it directly loses soldiers, and when the neighbor is strong, it immediately refutes the rumor and claims that the general's problem is its own problem.
In Daxus's opinion, those skeletons in Nehekhara should lie down again instead of wandering around. Unlike Nehekhara, although the Empire, Bretonnia and the southern city-states are not strong, he does not want to use swords against them. There are many reasons that will make the military merit group within the elves continue to grow. Although he is also a member of this group, he does not want the military merit group to be too big to be eliminated. At that time, he will not only be kind and generous, but he does not want to do this.
Another is that it is meaningless to attack the old world. Let the elves enslave humans and reverse the slavery? Apart from this, Daxus can't think of anything else profitable, and humans are bound to resist, which is no less than the destruction of the country and the extinction of the race. The resistance is bound to be tragic, and the dwarves will even join the human camp at that time. Maybe by then, it will become another war of revenge. After four thousand years, the second war of revenge in Elsin Arwen began? This...
Apart from causing the mass death of elves, humans and dwarves, there seems to be no benefit. Cain will be very happy because there is blood, and the Chaos Gods will also be very happy because of chaos. Everything else seems to be gone. , and this will make the already very fragile world even more precarious.
Druchi will definitely not refuse the war, but what about Asur, Ainir and Asrai? What do they think? Will the elves be unified by then? The most effective way to divert internal conflicts is to go outward. Orbion Island, Nehekhara, Asheril and the forest in the north of the empire are Dacuus's back-up plan. When resolving the internal conflicts in Ulthuan, these places are the best points for conflict output. Otherwise, how can some small countries use public opinion to publicize the behemoth in the north every day?
In Dacus's vision, different methods should be adopted to control the Empire, Bretonnia and the Southern City-States, that is, to support them economically and militarily, to bind them deeply, and to influence their internal politics, so that they cannot break away from the friendship of the elves.
When Anaheim, Albion Island, Nehekhara, Asheril and the forests in the north of the Empire are digested by the elves after a hundred years, the elves will find that they can't take large-scale military actions against the Empire, Bretonnia and the Southern City-States. By then, the elves and humans have completed the deep binding, and a brand-new Order Alliance, an Order Alliance with Lizardmen and Elves as the main body, will appear. At that time, there will be no reason and necessity to go to war, and other factions will certainly not agree, such as those who open the sea.
Then Dacus's goal was achieved. The internal conflicts in Ulthuan were resolved, and these territories were also taken over. The Vast Ocean became the inland sea of the elves. The elves' arks and dragon ships could roam the Vast Ocean unscrupulously, although they had been roaming the Vast Ocean before... With Ulthuan in the center of the Vast Ocean as the center, connecting those places. A maritime empire appeared, an empire with both land and sea power. The elves will usher in prosperity and revival, and return to the old days under his layout, and the humans and dwarves of the old world will also benefit in the process.
What a macro layout, what a great vision, what a grand blueprint, what a huge plan. Now William III, as a friend of Dacus, has also become a part of this big plan, and an important part.
"I suddenly have another idea, and I think you will be very interested, my friend." (End of this chapter)
