Arcane Lord
Chapter 1712 The sorrow of a small country and the internal strife of the alliance
Although Xia Duo is not clear about the specific strength and trump cards of the Seven Towers, he only speculates from the number of Grand Arcanists that the Seven Towers have at least twenty Grand Arcanists who can take action at any time.
With these alone, as long as you don't fight head-on and don't go to the head, it's not difficult to face the elf elder who has only one breath left. If there is another big killer weapon, it may be easier.
So Xia Duo dared to ask Larian wearing the skin of the Seven Towers. The fact was just as he expected. Although his tone was not polite, Larian still endured it.
Maybe this is the tragedy of a small country!
Fortunately, Chateau was not as aggressive as Cormanso, but after that more alarmist question, Chateau's tone softened slightly:
"It is certainly unfortunate for Everriska that the Northland Alliance has its headquarters in Everriska, but why is it not your luck?"
Although Larian didn't want to fall out with Shado, he also didn't want to hear these almost mocking nonsense. He suppressed the discomfort in his heart and replied expressionlessly:
"Now that things have come to this, what's the point of Lord Xia Duo saying this?"
"Of course it makes sense!"
Seeing that the other party was not indifferent, Shado continued: "The five countries of the Northland Alliance are strong, and small countries can only survive in the cracks. But compared to the precarious Akora and Sluvende, Evereska How lucky you are! At least you are not in danger of immediate destruction!"
"What exactly does Lord Shado want to say?"
"What I want to say is that Evriska should face up to its special position and must abide by its neutrality. This time you and Ambassador Cormanthor plotted against Netheril. Will you plot against Ilfaran and the Ambassador again next time? Ye Erlan, or Danzo? We can tolerate you once, how can we tolerate you again and again?"
Hearing this, Larian's expression changed, and he obviously thought of some possibility, "This - Lord Shado, I -"
"Elder Larian, there is no need to panic. I believe that you had no control over this incident. You were completely forced by Ambassador Cormanzo, but you should also inform us in time! Could it be that Everesca is really going to completely turn to the opposite side? Cormanso?”
"No!"
Larian subconsciously raised his voice, "Evriska has absolutely no intention of turning to Cormanthor! We have even called back the elders in the Elven Court, and we have absolutely no intention of becoming an enemy of Netheril!"
Larian is not necessarily afraid of Netheril, but he has to be afraid of the possibility that Shado just raised. Once Everesca cannot abide by neutrality, why should the headquarters of the Northland Alliance be placed here?
If the Northland Alliance headquarters were not here, then they would inevitably be involved in the overt and covert struggle between the five major powers in the Northland. He really couldn't bear to imagine that kind of situation.
"Elder Larian, tell me, how should we deal with the aftermath of this matter?"
"This—" Larian hesitated.
He was asked to face Ambassador Cormanzo, not to mention that he could just cancel the bet? But Netheril can't neglect it either.
For a moment, Larian was really in a dilemma. If he had known that he would have pretended to be sick and stayed away when Ambassador Cormanzo came to see him!
And that boy Vera, he had already told him to have less contact with humans, but he didn't listen. Even if he did, he didn't know how to keep it secret. Now that the situation is like this, I really don't know how it will end!
"Elder Larian, I have always had a good impression of Everesca. Even Cormanso, who has repeatedly targeted us, I don't have much hostility. Do you know why?"
"Lord Shado—" Larian was suddenly confused, "Why is this?"
"Of course it's because cooperation is far more meaningful than confrontation. It's a pity that Comanso still doesn't understand this truth!"
Xia Duo's words are not hypocritical. If possible, he really hopes that the countries in the North can develop peacefully instead of wasting energy and resources in meaningless confrontations.
There are so many secondary planes. As long as we discover a few more, isn't it better than the internal friction in a place as big as the Northland?
But it is a pity that from the moment the Northland Alliance was established, the internal strife in the Northland was destined to be difficult to end. Apart from anything else, there was almost bound to be a battle between Comanso and Akora.
The legitimacy of the rulers of Cormanthor comes from the idea of unification, and the first step to unification is undoubtedly the Listal Forest.
But as a member of the Northland Alliance, in fact, regardless of whether he is a member of the Northland Alliance or not, it is almost impossible for Akora to just sit back and die, and will always resist.
Cormanthor's road to unification begins with the Starr Forest, and the next step is undoubtedly to move westward. Netheril has become the first stumbling block on its way to unify the elven world.
However, Netheril is not an elven kingdom. It is difficult for other elven kingdoms to intervene directly. Once Netheril is annexed and cultivated for thousands of years, the entire Northland will not be Cormanthor's opponent.
Under such circumstances, Netheril is destined to be unable to allow Cormanthor to easily unify the Ristar Forest, and once Cormanthor's aggressive intentions become too obvious, other countries will inevitably intervene.
Under the framework of the Northland Alliance, peacekeeping has become the best excuse.
Today's Northland Alliance, called "The Alliance", is actually just a last resort product under the threat of the drow war.
As long as Cormanthor doesn't show too much ambition, even if it is a little domineering, except for Netheril, which has always been targeted, the other countries will basically not care too much.
There are even weird beings like Erlan who are vaguely inclined to Cormanso.
Of course, Shado believed that as long as Ye Erlan completed the centralization reform within the organization, the will of the organization would definitely not allow them to be willing to act as Cormanso's minions and vassals.
But when will that happen?
In the history of Xia Duo's hometown, most of the time when the emperor took over power was measured in units of ten years. This was originally a centralized system. Non-centralized systems such as those in the West may not be able to centralize power for thousands of years.
Not to mention, elves have a long lifespan, so if they say they want to reform, maybe ordinary people's life has only begun as a prelude!
For Chateau, countering Cormanso is not just an attempt to vent his anger, but also has practical significance.
At this time, Cormanthor had gone through the turmoil of the Uweilun survivors' challenge on the day the Northland Alliance was founded. In the eyes of outsiders, although its behavior was still a bit domineering, it was much more stable than in the past.
The key is that the crown prince of Comanso changed his past governing philosophy and reiterated the "equality of the five races", which greatly alleviated the racial conflicts within Comanso.
It strengthened the national strength in disguise.
And this, in Xia Duo's view, is already a sign that development is on the right track and gradually accelerating, which is not a good thing for mankind.
It would be fine if Cormanthor wasn't so hostile to Netheril, but he still has his evil intentions and has been targeting Netheril. The former limited magic treaty, and now he wants to provoke issues of faith.
How could Xia Duo sit back and wait for them to gain momentum!
Launching a counterattack against the Demon Restriction Treaty is just the beginning. Privately, Sha Duo is ruthless. In addition to Cormanso, Ye Erlan can also pull him into trouble.
It's just that that plan is too hated by others and easy to put into practice. Without a floating city or a base of war magic, he is not ready to implement it yet.
