Chapter 1368: Opening up the second battlefield and the policy of a great power

"I agree!"

After King Salvenmian and Prince Akaola also expressed their opinions, half of the countries in the Northland Alliance have expressed their agreement.

Now only the opinions of Erlan, Cormanthor and their vassals are left. Aiding Danzo and fighting the drow is the overall situation. Naturally, these two countries will not make any trouble at this time.

Especially Cormanthor. During the day, King Elisir had just demonstrated his determination for equality and co-prosperity among the five races. Now, even though it was against the dwarves, he would not tear through that hypocritical mask.

As a result, the first item of the first meeting after the establishment of the Northland Alliance was passed without any trouble.

After that, the kings and leaders discussed how to speed up the progress of supporting Danzo and how to deal with the drow threat in a more targeted manner.

This mainly involves two proposals. One is the "opening of a second battlefield in Amarinda" proposed by Prince Pasteur of Danzo.

The other is to require each country to provide direct power, transformable technology, or even simple strategies, policies, etc. based on its own strength against drow and demons.

The latter one was already reflected in the negotiations before the establishment of the Northland Alliance. The [Demon-Slaying Arrows] and [Demon-Slaying Amulets] that Shado had previously obtained were proactively provided by Cormanso during the negotiations.

Now this requirement is only extended to all members of the alliance. Regardless of whether the big country intends to weaken the strength of the small country, this is indeed beneficial to the war situation in the Dark Region.

Except for a few abstentions from the thirteen countries, the vast majority agreed, including of course the five major countries.

On the contrary, Prince Pasteur proposed "opening a second battlefield against the drow in Amarinda." This issue was strongly opposed by King Ozkudar of Amarinda almost as soon as it was raised.

Although the two are in the same dark area, Amarinda is obviously not as powerful as Danzo. If a second battlefield is opened in Amarinda, the country will be destroyed on the spot.

Although Amarinda is now facing the threat of drow, at least she has not been beaten by drow at her doorstep. This sense of urgency is still different from Danzo.

This is also reflected in the attitudes of the countries on the surface. The drow have not yet appeared on the surface, so they have the leisure to hold a leisurely meeting here to discuss countermeasures.

On the contrary, Cormanthor, who had just experienced the drow war not long ago, had to be more nervous and pay more attention to this aspect, and he could release a big killing weapon like [Devil-Slaying Arrow] at will.

However, although Amarinda had a direct stake in "opening up a second battlefield", the decision-making power was no longer in the hands of King Ozkudar.

When Prince Pasteur put forward this suggestion, he was immediately recognized by the countries on the surface. Expanding the battlefield can lengthen the front line and delay time. As for whether doing so will cause Amarinda to suffer heavy losses or even destroy the country.

In fact, it is cruel to say that these are not within the consideration range of the surface countries.

"King Ozkudar, don't worry too much. Cormanso will give priority to supporting Amarinda and ensure that the battlefield is opened outside your country's borders."

"Yerlan will also give some support to your country!"

Prince Pasteur even said: "I have contacted my father before tonight's meeting. He promised that if Amarinda can provide the necessary conditions for opening a second battlefield, Danzo will support Amarinda's five saints. Hammer Warrior, I will personally go to the front line of the Second War. Unless I die, I will not let the war happen in Amarinda."

In front of the kings and leaders of the North, Prince Pasteur spoke so decisively that even King Ozkudar himself was a little moved and his attitude softened slightly.

In fact, from the very beginning when Prince Pasteur put forward the proposal of "opening up a second battlefield," Ozkudar knew very well that Amarinda must take on the main responsibility of opening up a second battlefield.

Otherwise, as long as a few high-ranking mages go to lure Drow over in private, it will not be his turn to object.

Ozkudar did not dare to bet on whether the surface elven nations, or even their blood relative Danzo, would do this.

Rather than being forced to fight, it is better to take the initiative and gain more support from the alliance.

Of course, the most important point is that Amarinda is too close to the drow. Once the opponent frees his hands from the Danzo battlefield, Amarinda may be easily wiped out immediately.

In fact, long before the drow attacked Danzo, many underground forces had been wiped out by them. If they had not failed in the war to attack Cormanthor, perhaps Amarinda would no longer exist now. .

As soon as Ozkudar relaxed, everyone in the alliance was naturally happy, and all countries promised to provide support, including Denzo, who was currently fighting the drow.

In addition to promising material support, Netheril also promised to allow Amarinda to recruit war mercenaries in Netheril.

This is a promise that even Denzo, who is closer to Netheril, has not enjoyed.

Currently, most of the adventurers from Netheril who went to Denzo to participate in the war were by chance and were in the Underdark at the time, and then spread word of mouth about their actions.

The more critical aspect of this commitment is that Amarinda can directly recruit spellcasters from the Seven Towers to participate in the war, not just private adventurers of varying quality among the people.

Xia Duo couldn't say anything about Seven Towers' decision, but he always felt that Seven Towers was a little too enthusiastic in dealing with alliance affairs.

It is really unwise to have to support others in various ways when we have not yet completed the construction in our own country.

This is different from the Black Continent policy in Xia Duo's hometown. Under nuclear deterrence, the structure of major powers is basically stable, and only then can they have the ability and necessity to play vassal games or proxy wars.

If there is no real strength to make a final decision, and even the status of a great power cannot be guaranteed, how can we talk about various subsequent operations to expand international influence?

Thinking of this, Shado took advantage of the opportunity when the kings in the center of the hall began to discuss the construction of the alliance headquarters and the dispatch of permanent plenipotentiary representatives to the alliance. He quietly made a gesture with Iolum that implied the elements of the Mysser energy nuclear design. and asked:

"Does Seven Towers also know?"

Iolum was stunned for a moment at first, but then he reacted, "I don't know, but I hinted that this kind of thing should not be discussed here. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at us!"

Xia Duo immediately shut up after hearing this, but he probably understood the reason why the Seven Towers were so enthusiastic. Once the large-scale independent arcane fire device is realized, the arcanist's strength will be greatly improved.

Perhaps this is what gave them the confidence to be so active.

Of course, it is possible that Seven Towers has another trump card, but in any case, as a human country, Netheril is not a good thing for being too active in an organization like the Northland Alliance where foreign races make up the majority. .
