Chapter 192 Bad News
The Elf Forest missed a very good opportunity. If they don't give up their friendship with Romer, it will be a completely different situation later.
-historian Prora
In the reception room of the Holy Sword Fortress, Arcado welcomed an elf envoy, which was sent by the Elf Forest after hearing that the merchant ships on Rome Island had been attacked, and the Duke of Lomec and other four countries declared war on Rome.
The envoy came alone and did not bring at least 5,000 elf warriors as Rome Island hoped.
The elf envoy looked very bad. After entering the door for a while, he talked directly about the main purpose of this envoy.
"I'm very sorry. I know these words may make you very angry, but I have to talk to you." The elves' envoy said regretfully.
"Say it." Arcado smiled and said, "The Elf Forest is an old friend of Roma. There is nothing difficult to say between us."
"Well, Rudolph Island Lord, the elves were defeated in Fick City. We lost a large amount of territory around Fick City and lost a large number of troops." The elf envoy said sadly that he first told the difficulties of the elves and gained Arcado's sympathy and possible forgiveness.
"I feel sorry for this. Romer will continue to provide weapons and equipment for the Elf Forest and support the war to protect the country." Arcado said that it is about the survival of human beings, and Arcado has to act cautiously. At this stage, the more weapons can be provided to elves, the safer human beings will be.
"I hope you can still say this after listening to the following words. Regarding the attack of Lomec's attack on Lomai Island, the Elf Forest can only remain neutral and cannot send troops to help you resist the invasion as we initially promised." The elf envoy was a little embarrassed and avoided Arcado's embarrassed eyes.
Arcado put a piece of decoration in his hand back on the bookshelf, turned around and looked at the white clouds in the sky in the distance through the window. After a long time, he said, "Mr. Envoy, is the forest of the elves going to give up friends at this time?"
The elf envoy answered Arcado's question with great difficulty: "Now all the soldiers of the elf clan are concentrating on Erihal, and the elves really don't have the power to protect Rome Island."
"There is no strength, so what should we do with Romer?" Arcado asked with a smile that he was not afraid of the Duchy of Lomec, but a little disappointed with the falling stone of the elf forest. In fact, at this time, as long as the elf forest sends even hundreds of people, it will make Arcado appreciate the friendship of the elf forest, and now, there is only mockery.
"Please understand the difficulties of the elf forest." The elf envoy bowed his head and pleaded. He knew that in order not to make enemies in the human world, the Elf Forest did not even have a verbal condemnation of the Duchy of Lomek.
"Okay, I understand you." Arcado smiled at himself and asked, "Is this the gift you used to congratulate me and your second princess on our wedding?"
The elf envoy lowered his head deeper and said in great embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I know that Rome Island is in a dangerous situation now, but I still hope that Count Rudolph can take care of the overall situation." He called the elf forest to the title of Arcado, which deliberately narrowed the relationship.
"The big picture?" Arcado was stunned. The Elf Forest is now drawing a clear line with him, but inexplicably let him take care of the overall situation. What is the overall situation?
"The Elf Queen ordered that if you are willing to move your family to the Elf Forest and make you the official Marquis of the Elf, but before that, please continue to provide weapons and equipment to the Elf Forest. For the safety of the world, I hope you will not be angry." The elves said weakly.
"I was advised to hand over all my property and contribute my skills, and finally abandon my people to escape in exchange for a lifetime of glory and wealth, hahaha." Arcado laughed angrily, looked coldly at the envoy of the elf forest, and said word by word.
"Your Excellency, the Elf Forest will definitely avenge the adult, but at the present..." The elf envoy threw a seductive weight. As long as Arcado agrees, there is still a chance to revenge.
"Go back and report to the Elf Queen and tell her that Rudolf Arcado will coexist with his people. Rome Island will repel all incoming enemies and win. If the Elf Forest can't get along, you can invite her to take refuge on Rome Island at any time. I don't have any marquis reward, but I have prepared a first-class guest for her. Room!" Arcado stared at the envoy of Rome and said.
He continued to say without waiting for the elf envoy to answer, "Romai's export of weapons will not increase. This is my bottom line. Please ask the elf queen to fight against the orc empire for her own efforts!"
The elf envoy looked happy and hurriedly bent down. Although he was very angry with Acardo's words that the elf queen had just escaped, he saved Rome Island's export of weapons to the elf forest, which can be regarded as a great achievement.
Acardo does not want to cut off the supply of the Elf Forest, but he knows that although his army can defeat the orc troops, the number is too small. Now he can't let the Elf Forest be defeated, otherwise the orc troops that rushed into the human world can expand much faster than his Arcadol.
Another thing that Arcado had to worry about was the failure of the elves in Fick City. Obviously, the old tactics of the elves failed. The elves that lost the city failed to trap the orc troops with a line of solid walls like the last war. Now in order to prevent the orc empire from moving forward, the two sides have to be in the wilderness. The diplomatic war made the elves lose their advantage.
If there is a problem with the supply of elves at this time, it is likely to be defeated again. This time, if the elves fail, the Orc Empire will annihilate all the elves near Arielhal, which will force the Elf Forest to give up a large area of territory southwest of Vilo City, and the Orc Empire will be close to another of the Sighing Mountains. One end.
In case the elf clan plays fiercely and brings disaster to the human world, and releases the orc army around the Sighs Mountains and enters the fortress empire, it will become worse, so Arcado wants to help the elves save the defeat.
Now Akado needs time. Akado needs to stabilize the front line of the Elf Forest and the Orc Empire, let the war enter the stagative stage, and then facilitate him to lay a base in the human world. It is best to let him develop steadily for about a year, so that he can increase production, expand the army, and make Romer real Standing at the peak of the world.
After sending away the elf envoy, Arcado immediately ordered the intelligence to disclose this information to the neutral Duke of Luolei. He hoped to strengthen the determination of the Duchy of Lomec, so as to lure the enemy deep and completely annihilate the opponent at sea.
Sure enough, Lomek and other four countries, who got the news, were in a happy atmosphere. They bet right that the Elf Forest gave up Romai at the critical moment, and now Romai has really become the fat meat on the chopping board in their eyes.
