Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1995 Emphasis on persistence
"cough--"

The messenger of Irfaran cleared his throat, then changed his face, and said grandly: "Yerlan unilaterally provoked the war. This behavior has endangered the foundation of the order of the Northern Alliance. We must stop it."

"Is that all? Does Irfaran want to intervene strongly in this matter regardless of the domestic crisis?"

"of course not."

The Irfaran envoy shook his head and said unabashedly: "I mean to launch a resolution in the Northland Alliance, and our countries will jointly form a peacekeeping force to stop Yeerlan's current barbaric and brutal behavior."

At the end, he added, "Sluvand is a member of the Northland Alliance. If we sit back and watch it be unreasonably occupied by Yeerlan today, will we have to turn a blind eye to such incidents in the future?"

Of course, the words to stop Ye'erlan are for Netheril, Comanthor, and the envoy of Danzo. At present, only these three countries dare to collide with Ye'erlan head-on.

As for the last sentence, there is no doubt that it is trying to win over the alliance of small countries that have tended to form groups.

It is difficult to ignore the great powers in the decision of the Northland Alliance, not because the votes of the big powers are higher, but because the influence of the big powers makes the small congresses use the opinions of the big powers as the wind vane.

If we only look at the number of votes, small countries are the majority.

The biggest difference between a small country in the elf world and a big country is largely not in the power of the top, nor in the population, but in the war potential that can be continuously mobilized.

Or to put it more bluntly, it is the number of spellcasters at the elite level and above.

If there is not enough war potential, even if a small country is given enough weapons of war, it will not be able to exhaust the big country in the end.

But on the other hand, as long as there is basic top-level power, then the great powers can throw their hands at them, and they have the most basic qualifications for existence.

In other words, the reason why small countries can exist is actually that the cost of conquering or eliminating them by big countries is greater than maintaining the status quo.

However, if the small countries can put aside their estrangement and work together to the outside world, the war potential of the small countries will complement each other, and they will have the capital to confront the big countries.

After all, the big countries are not of one mind, and they may not be as united as the alliance of small countries. As long as they don't think about unrealistic things, it is enough to survive and develop for a long time in this world.

The emissary of Irfaran just saw this trend, and just kept forcing Sharvin, Evereska, and Yeerlan to be enemies, and his attitude towards the former was even worse.

As for the current wooing, it is more towards Evereska.

Before the assassination of the Great Elder Ankarita, Evereska was already in contact with all parties. Now that Ankarita is dead, although it does cast a shadow on the small country alliance that has not yet fully formed.

But from another perspective, this is also a great driving force, promoting the rapid formation of the alliance of small countries, and this incident also allowed Evereska's successors to obtain a great political legacy in the alliance.

The great elders of the people have all sacrificed for the alliance, so the rest of the small countries should show more face.

Not only that, Evereska, where the headquarters of the Northland Alliance is located, is also to some extent a neutral place that is unanimously recognized by all parties, including major powers.

They organize alliances of small countries to keep warm. As long as they do not fight for hegemony externally and are not mean internally, they will almost certainly win the unanimous support of small countries.

Given time, it may not be possible to use this to develop into a truly independent country.

Thinking of this, the Ilfaran envoy couldn't help but glanced at the envoy of the seven towers who was not looking sideways. He heard that Evereska's small country alliance strategy was originally proposed by a Nether lord.

So, could the Nether Lord be instructed by the Seven Towers?
Undoubtedly, the emergence of the Alliance of Small Nations will greatly ease the pressure Netheril encountered during its rise. After the establishment of the Northern Alliance, Ilfaran was already prepared to suppress the human forces in the alliance.

But in many cases, interests and positions are not determined solely by race, and the emergence of the alliance of small countries—even if it is only a rudimentary form at present—has already put great pressure on Ailenthal.

Of course, the Ilfaran envoy would not say this outside. Only he himself knows how much the ruling advisory group attaches importance to the current Evereska.

When he came to Evereska this time, in addition to urging countries to intervene in the Sruvand war, the main task was to investigate and record the attitudes and positions of the various forces within Evereska.

But to be honest, the Emissary of Ilfaran is not optimistic about the latter, because the path designed by humans for Evereska is completely a win-win conspiracy.

Even Yeerlan, who brazenly launched the war against Sluvand, still found an excuse for the demons. What reason does Irfaran interfere with the establishment of the small country alliance?
Those who play tricks will not last long.

Just like Yeerlan at the moment, if there hadn't been the avalanche that triggered the Spine of the World before, perhaps Irfaran would not have to intervene in the Sluvand war!
After all, this matter is also beneficial to Irfaron to some extent. The obvious benefits are probably to benefit from the war, but the hidden benefits are what several major countries are extremely eager for - the legalization of wanton wars .

Ye Erlan can do this now, and Irfaran can naturally do it in the future.

However, the avalanche on the Spine of the World, although the orc wave it caused did not cause much damage to Ilfaran in the end, it caused great panic in Ilfaran, and it also made the king and the ruling advisers very angry .

In addition, intervening in the Sluvand war is also beneficial to Irfaran, so there is his trip this time.

……

After the emissary of Irfaran finished speaking, the venue suddenly fell into silence, but he was not in a panic, because he had accepted invitations from various countries to come here, and to some extent he had tacitly agreed to interfere with Ye Erlan.

The question now is who contributes more and who contributes less, and who takes the lead.

This is indeed a very real problem. The small country does not want to see the order of the Northland Alliance disappear, but it also does not want to lose too much power because of it. In addition, there is also the factor of worrying about Ye Erlan's revenge afterwards.

And what good does a big country do to another big country?

Unless it can be ensured that Ye'erlan is dragged in the quagmire of the Sluwende battlefield and cannot escape for a long time, once the war ends quickly—no matter what the outcome is, the one who contributes the most and takes the lead may encounter Ye'erlan's decisive counterattack.

Or to put it another way, the great powers are not afraid of being an enemy of Yeerlan, but they are worried that they will also be involved in a long-term unending war.

"Everyone, right now Ye'erlan's advance momentum is blocked, and it's the best time for us to intervene. Later, when Sluvand has no strength left to resist, Ye'erlan won't spit out the benefits that he took into his mouth so easily!"

These words moved the rest of the envoys in the venue, but they still had doubts. This made the Ilfaran envoy a little anxious. As he said, now is the best time to intervene. If you miss it, you may have to pay more .

"Our Tailun mage has led the Sword of Retribution troops to assemble in Alintar, and we can enter the Shruvand battlefield at any time just waiting for your response."

Regardless of the final opinions of various countries, Yierlan is ready to intervene. To a certain extent, this can be regarded as a dispute of emotions. Who told Yeerlan to play tricks first!
