Chapter 426 Marshal Selection
"Is it because the moonlight over there is too bright that keeps a light-averse lich like you from sleeping? Do you know it's late at night here?" Aldarian said dissatisfiedly.
Although Aldarian had just woken up, this did not affect his noble temperament at all, as if the elves were born that way. To put it crudely, the way the elves picked their noses was far more elegant and beautiful than that of other races.
If a photo of Aldarian reclining on the bed with his pajamas in disarray was taken, it could be sold for a high price in the circle of many noble ladies.
But whether it was Amberxiu or Aige, the two undead were indifferent to this.
Amber Xiu said bluntly: "I will not wake you up until night, just to make you sleep poorly, understand?"
An angry look appeared on Aldarian's face, but he quickly calmed down and said to Amber, "Very good, you succeeded. I will turn this thing off and go back to sleep."
Amber Xiu said, "How can it be that simple? Let me ask you, if I ask you elves to help write a battle plan, what can you get me? Is this thing the level of your elves?"
Aldarian smiled and said, "There's nothing we can do. The elves are not good at underwater combat. We can only rely on our imagination. There will definitely be mistakes and omissions. I suggest you don't follow the plan above. You should act according to the situation."
"That's a pity." Amber Xiu said with regret: "In this way, you elves will suffer a great loss."
Ardarian frowned, then said, "I know that answering your question is like drinking a cup of poison, but I still want to ask, what do you mean by this?"
Amber said proudly: "It means exactly what it says. If you don't help, you elves will miss a great opportunity this time."
"What chance?" Aldarian asked again.
"A free opportunity to practice commanding a large-scale battle. Aldarian, you may not know that I not only sought help from the elves, but also sought military experts from other kingdoms, including the Lion Empire. I was originally planning to see what the pros and cons of your plan were, and then let a more capable general take command.
"That would be a huge melee involving hundreds of thousands of troops. How many years will you elves have to wait for this opportunity? Moreover, you don't have to send anyone out, and there will be no losses at all. You only need to conduct remote command through the magic mirror. And what can you gain? Not only command experience, you can see the fighting methods of those marine races, and even see how the Lions lead their troops..."
Amber's words seemed to touch Aldarian's heart. He asked in surprise: "You dare to let us take command?"
"Then it depends on who has the ability. This is a war involving an entire kingdom. The battlefield covers hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, and there are countless strange terrains on the seabed. Do you think one person can command it? I need a large number of professional generals. I will provide the troops, and you will command them.
"Would you miss the opportunity to make me lose money?"
Aldarian frowned deeply. If there was no magic mirror, then Ambersh's words were a lie. The elves would not be able to send people into the deep sea to lead his troops.
But it’s different with the magic mirror. The elves can really sit at home and remotely control the war. There is really no risk at all.
More importantly, if Ryan also gets involved, the elves will really have a good look at it.
By now, the elves have understood that the increasingly radical Ryan is the real trouble. If Ryan does not collapse, there will definitely be a war between Silvermoon High Court and Ryan. In addition, the elves are long-lived, so even if it is delayed for a hundred years, it will still be a war of "contemporary people" for the elves.
Know ahead of time to be prepared.
If the elves could learn even a little bit of the military intelligence of the Lions from this battle, it would be a pure benefit to them.
But Aldarian was a little confused. Would this lich be so kind? With greed, he would definitely lose in front of this lich. Aldarian decided to trust his intuition and refused, saying, "Silvermoon High Court has closed its borders and cannot help you fight. This is for political reasons. Don't think too much."
Amber Xiu was a little surprised. This kid, is he so patient?
In Amber's plan, hearing what he said, Aldarian, the ambitious Elf King, would definitely be tempted, even if it cost him money, to get in. But he actually held back? Amber sighed and said helplessly, "If you don't listen to my nice words, then I can't do anything about it. Do you know that this sea area is the key area for the drow elves' route? It doesn't matter if we lose. I will let Catherine lead the drow elves to force their way through. I believe that with the protection of the Elf Queen, my route will still be safe, even if there are millions of sea creatures besieging us, there shouldn't be any problem."
When Aldarian heard this, he almost jumped out of bed. He said angrily: "How dare you use Sister Catherine to threaten me?!"
Amber smiled and said, "What are you talking about? It was your elven god who let Catherine take charge of the drow elves. What does this have to do with me? I just provided a plan to transform the drow elves into lawful ones. Aldarian, I'm telling you the truth now. I want this sea area. If you don't help, I will let Catherine help. Think about it yourself."
Aldarian clenched his fists tightly. He really wanted to punch this shameless lich in the face, but he could only grit his teeth and endure it.
Now is not the time to break with the lich. The elven gods did have a deal with him. Before completing this deal, Amber seemed to have grasped the weakness of the elves. For Catherine's safety, Aldarian had to agree no matter how reluctant he was.
Aldarian calmed down quickly. After all, he was the Elf King and had to consider the overall situation with every move. So he made a decision quickly: "Okay, wait, I'll have someone make a new plan for you."
Amber Xiu said happily, "That's right. We can cooperate happily. I'm speaking from the heart. Where can you elves find an opportunity to command hundreds of thousands of people in a war? You haven't fought for a long time, and you've developed a magic addiction. Why don't you correct it quickly? Besides, this time you have the opportunity to command me to charge into battle. Don't waste this opportunity."
This last sentence made Aldarian grit his teeth and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely not let you down."
After saying this, Aldarian could no longer bear it and cut off the communication with the magic mirror.
Ai Ge exclaimed: "You are really amazing. Now the three kingdoms will do their best to provide you with combat plans, and even provide senior generals to command remotely."
Amber said, "That's not enough. I will create a large chat group and let them debate face to face. The Unholy Song, Lion, Silvermoon High Court, and our people with the mermaids, everyone can communicate face to face. Tiefling hates Lion so much, he will definitely make things difficult for him on all kinds of details. The elves of Silvermoon High Court will never lose face in front of the outside world, so these three countries will definitely quarrel.
"They would dig each other out and come up with all kinds of traps that we couldn't think of. With the mermaids as technical advisors, our tactics at that time were as close to perfect as possible."
Ai Ge imagined how these people would curse each other across thousands of kilometers or even across dimensions, and felt a little excited. This scene was really something that could only be seen once in a thousand years.
But Ai Ge quickly asked again: "Then what are we still missing now?"
Amber said: "I guess there are at least two important things missing. The first one is naturally regular troops. Even if we can trick a large group of senior generals to help command, where will the soldiers come from to command them? The Silent Night Pirates only have a few soldiers in total, which is not enough to support the entire battle."
"Troops... this isn't difficult."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Amber nodded and said, "Yes, we are undead after all."
The undead are best at human wave tactics. It is not difficult to create a large number of low-level undead in a short period of time. All you need is enough materials.
If it really doesn't work, you can borrow from the Withered Rose.
But that’s a story for later. The undead in the Underdark may not be suitable for naval battles, so it’s better for Amberxiu to do it himself.
"In addition to the basic military strength, we also need a general of sufficient weight. The three races of the Lions, Tieflings, and Elves are all arrogant and it is impossible for them to work together. War is ever-changing and it is impossible to act completely according to the plan. There will definitely be conflicts.
"I don't like the idea of just arguing for days, so we need a marshal who can unite everyone at the critical moment and ensure the implementation of the tactics."
Ai Ge felt embarrassed when he heard this: "It's impossible for there to be such a person."
Tieflings and Llane have a deep blood feud, and the pride of the elves is well known. It is impossible for one person to press their heads at the same time to express their agreement.
unless……
Ai Ge looked at Amber Xiu and couldn't help but say, "It seems that only you can do it."
Amber Xiu just performed a show, and the top leaders of the three countries had to bow to Amber Xiu. This was not some kind of suppression by force, but Amber Xiu really grasped the weaknesses of everyone and made them do whatever he wanted.
With this ability, when the war starts, Amberxiu will be able to intimidate everyone and enforce discipline, so that his own people will not start fighting first.
But Amber Xiu shook his head and said, "It's not difficult to make them obedient, but if I can't tell which suggestion is appropriate when they quarrel, I can't give orders even if I can subdue them."
This was Amber's biggest problem. He had never been a soldier in his life. When he was an adventurer, he commanded dozens of people at most, and it was only an adventure of one or two hours. He had no military talent and had never learned it, so he was really not qualified for the job of a marshal.
"Who should we look for then?" Ai Ge asked doubtfully.
Amber Xiu pondered and said, "It doesn't matter if the opponent has strong military talent. He just needs to be better than me and be an expert who has learned the basics of military affairs. He also needs to have the ability to convince everyone..."
That peerless face appeared in Amberxiu's mind.
There is no one more suitable than Catherine, right? (End of this chapter)
