Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1953 The Influx of Refugees Without Leaving a Hand
Of course, the so-called "seeking assistance" is just a superficial statement. To put it nicely, the essence is to invite countries to send troops to stay in Sluvand in order to achieve a strategic balance with Yeerlan.

After making this decision, [Eclex Contract] immediately summoned members to take action. Although the decision has been made, it is still too early to let the forces of various countries enter.

At least you have to wait until you have demonstrated the power of the magic weapon of war, otherwise you are not qualified to do such a balancing act. If you want others to believe that you have a hole card, then you'd better really have it and use it with determination.

Of course, before demonstrating the power of the magic weapon of war, it is necessary to send a note to the Northland Alliance, requesting the Yeerlan army to withdraw from the territory of Shruvand and compensate for the losses caused by the invasion.

Although it is just a pretext, there is still a big difference between having and not having it. Cruise, who has already understood the game rules of the Northland Alliance, will naturally not leave any excuses for his opponents.

In fact, this is one of the few things that Sluvande can do. After all, he is in a disadvantaged position. If he doesn't pay attention to some details of his actions, he will almost inevitably suffer a complete defeat.

And if you are in a strong position, you can still do enough superficial work to appear justified. Cruise, who has traveled through more than 1000 years, is now reflecting on how the situation where Sluvand was almost universally enemy was created early.

Not only Sruvande, but also Sruvande's hometown, Arivanda, once had the opportunity to truly unify the world of elves, but it collapsed instantly because of arrogance.

Gentle rules of the game can conceal the cruel nature of conquest, and now the Northern Alliance has taught him a lot, but in his opinion, the five major countries such as Yeerlan are not very good at using this super tool.

Perhaps it is the five countries that are hindering each other to maintain the current situation, and this is the only chance for Sluvand to recover in the future.

If you miss it, unless the Northland Alliance disappears, you will always be reduced to a toy of a big country.

……

Netheril, Severton.

Xia Duo walked out of the teleportation room of the headquarters of the Arcane Federation, and immediately felt a different atmosphere from before. He knew that perhaps the news that Sluvand invited countries to jointly develop the ancient fortress had aroused the turmoil in Master Nether's heart.

But what he saw more was not joy, but worry, maybe it was worried that the war would affect Netheril, or it was just the exploration of the ancient fortress.

Same as when he came last time, Xia Duo quickly passed through the teleportation area, the trade area, and the library to enter the administrative area of ​​the Alpha Union headquarters, where Iolum's office is at the very innermost.

But while walking, Xia Duo suddenly felt something was wrong, he slowed down his pace slightly, and at the same time traced the source of this feeling in his memory, unexpectedly it was because——

Elf!

When he passed the intersection in front of the library, he glanced towards the dining and accommodation area, and from the corner of his eye, he saw a group of dejected elves arguing with the deacons of the union.

Looking back at this moment, Xia Duo noticed that those elves were big and small, and they had families. Although the clothing style was closer to that of Cormanthor, their behavior was more like that of Yeerlan elves.

If there were only these, Xia Duo would not be very good at judging, but the five members of the family obviously looked like golden elves, but they acted more like moon elf commoners, and they didn't seem to be acting.

"Is the Sluvand elf?"

This is the most likely explanation that Xia Duo can think of, but is there already a fight on Sluwende's side?Or was it just a rumor that was heard in the first few waves and transferred in advance?
Thinking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help feeling a little heavy in his heart. No matter what the reason was, this phenomenon to a large extent meant that Sluvande's hearts were broken.

A family of five appeared at the headquarters of the Austrian Law Federation, and there may be more in other places.

Of course, it can also be said that this is Xia Duo's own speculation, but it is not complicated to verify, and it can even be said to be surprisingly simple!
While continuing to go to Iolum's office, Shadow cast a spell to project perception. Although he was discovered and stopped by the mystical locks arranged by the Seven Towers in Severton with just one glance, that one glance was enough!
He saw that some elves were using spells to build a residence in the southern city of Severton. Judging from the construction style, it should be prepared for centralized living!

Near the construction site, there were already a crowd of golden elves, all of whom looked as frustrated, worried and confused as the family of five he saw at the headquarters of the Austrian Law Federation.

That’s not all he saw. Apart from the construction site, there was also a group gathered on the Offa Square at the entrance of the Offa Union, and there were even some on the square in front of Nether Palace in the old city.

Seeing this scene, Xia Duo felt even more heavy. Although he was not the one who was experiencing ups and downs at the moment, the emotions of intelligent creatures were interlinked.

Or use a word from my hometown to describe it - things hurt their kind!
……

Soon, Xiaduo came to Iolum's office, there was no one as expected, but he had already sent a message to Iolum before coming, and Iolum replied that he was free.

Well, just wait here for a while.

Of course, waiting doesn't mean doing nothing. During this period, Xia Duo contacted Director Haichenis and asked about the situation of the elves in the southern city.

To this, Hatchenis' answer is——

"Those came from Shruvand, some were real refugees, and some ran out ahead of time when they heard the news, and it was the Cormanthor elves who were building temporary shelters for them.

"Those Sruvand elves first sought help from the Sevington Council, but the council replied that they could stay in Sevington temporarily, but the council did not take the initiative to provide living conditions.

"Ambassador Comanso heard about this and rented a piece of unused wasteland in the southern urban area under development from the Seven Towers for temporary settlement.

"The spellcaster who helped them build the house is also a master builder invited by Ambassador Cormanthor from Cormanthor himself. They are just a bunch of refugees. Cormanthor is really caring!

"Speaking of which, if there were not too many influxes all at once, the Seven Towers could be arranged in private, but now, it is inconvenient for the Seven Towers to come forward, and the Severton Council cannot make arbitrary decisions.

"As for the arrangement elsewhere, it may cause some unnecessary trouble."

If Hatchenis hadn't said the last sentence, Xia Duo would have wanted some Sluvand elves to bring back to the southern border. Of course, he was not so kind, and he took the initiative to invite the elves to live at home.

Feelings belong to feelings, but what he needs to care about is his own people, not some irrelevant elves. The reason why he wants to do this is to covet the treasure brought by the refugees of Sluvand.

More importantly, he wants his own people to see what a real elf looks like!
