Just being a dark elf in Warhammer

Chapter 507 358. I am quite capable of thinking.

Darkus stood by the window with his arms folded, looking up at the roaring burning skulls flying into the city of Altdorf, and listening to the roaring cannons on the city wall, he knew that the attack had begun. Fortunately, the location of the Forest House is quite tricky, as it is relatively close to the city wall, so siege equipment such as trebuchets cannot hit it, unless the vampire also has a mortar that can be hoisted.

After looking up for a while, Darkus looked at the humans standing in the square who wanted to enter but were afraid to come in. He knew that these humans were gang members and usually paid protection fees to the Forest House. The contract, the protection fee, the reputation, regardless of whether it is voluntary or passive, since the contract has been established, Forest House must express its gratitude. But he was not prepared to get involved in such a trivial matter, so he left it to Enil's maid Molana to provide comfort. He also did not want to organize gang members to fill a big hole in the city. That was not what elves should do.

After leaving the window, Darkus was pacing in the hall, thinking about what to do next... He felt like a screenwriter, and things were going differently than before, with some deviations. . Originally, the first vampire war would reach its climax and end in the winter of 2051 in the imperial calendar. And now it is 2028, and the first vampire war, which was originally in the middle, has directly reached its climax. All he has to do is... He feels like his mind is a little confused now, and sometimes it's almost not good to have too many options.

"Yu Qian? Ming Jingzong? No... it should be Kou Zhun?" Dacus was speechless after hearing the explanations of Ren and the others who had returned from Nancheng District. He felt that Ludwig had taken Song Zhenzong's script? Instead of Ming Jingzong, he vaguely remembered that Ming Jingzong fully trusted Yu Qian and ordered Yu Qian to supervise the troops of each battalion, and all the soldiers were under his control. Otherwise, Yu Qian would not be able to complete even the most basic mobilization and organization, let alone defend the capital.

Darkus's memories were constantly tumbling, and he jumped from the first vampire war to the second vampire war. He felt that in addition to Eberhard and Stephen Franz, von Holzkerg The other children in the family are not ordinary fools, especially the father and son Ludwig and Lutvik. Ludwig made a big joke during the Battle of Altdorf, and Lutvik is even more rebellious than his father.

The imperial coalition and the dwarf army had a decisive battle with the undead army of Konrad, the second head of the von Carstein family, in the Grimnir Wasteland. If Darkus remembers correctly, that decisive battle was like a joke. . The living coalition was fighting in a mess, and Conrad was nowhere to be found. At that time, Conrad was already crazy.

The vampires of the von Carstein family, except for the remnants of Manfred, Jerrick, and Jon Skyland, either died in the Battle of Altdorf in 2051, or others like Peter, Fritz, Hans was killed by Conrad, in which Jon Skyland played a great role, while Jerrick was purely persecuted. As for Manfred, he should have been in the South at that time.

There is a reason why the Imperial Alliance is called the Imperial Alliance. Before Magnus came out to turn the tide, the Empire had been in the era of three emperors, and various emperors emerged one after another. During the decisive battle of the Second Vampire War, Emperor Lutvik of Reik's territory and Queen Otilia IV of Tarabek's territory claimed that they had the command of the imperial army. The third claimant from Marienburg was Hector. Ermut.

Helmut was still a human being compared to the first two. He advised the first two to unite and fight together, but that was it. He did not choose to take sides, nor did he choose to seize command by force. Instead, he believed that his respective armies should be led in a parallel manner, just like the dwarf next door. The result was that he was considered an idealistic fool, and his fate It was also very miserable, turning into a zombie. Fortunately, he had a good son who saved his soul.

Helmut, who was ridiculed, stopped making similar proposals. All three claimed that they were the commander-in-chief of the four armies and ignored envoys from other quarters. In short, there is no cooperation, everyone fights on his own, and the orders and tactics issued are conflicting with each other. At the same time, they are good at internal fighting and have also prepared emergency measures against other friendly forces, and they also look forward to reinforcements that will never appear again.

It's a bit like the Battle of Yecheng during the Anshi Rebellion. The nine military governors led an army of 200,000 people to attack An Qingxu. Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty did not set up a marshal, but only used the eunuch Yu Chaoen to supervise the army. As a result, the Tang army was defeated and the entire situation entered a new stage.

It's just a comparison of bad things. It's not worse, it's just more fucked up. The decisive battle did not end neatly because of the half-hearted fight and the novices pecking each other. Instead, it lasted for several weeks. The conflict between the Emperor of Reikland and the Queen of Talabekland completely broke out. Both sides sent their own assassins to assassinate. As a result, the emperor and queen of both sides died in the assassination, and the two sides started fighting. The dwarves and Marienburg The army was caught in the middle and could not advance or retreat.

The balance of victory came to Conrad's side. The necromancers pulled up the humans who died due to the civil war between the two sides. Fortunately, this decisive battle was not like the Battle of Yecheng. The dwarf army turned the tide at the critical moment and blocked the dead. The attack of the army. Due to the deaths of the Emperor of Reikland and the Queen of Tarabek, the Reikland and Tarabek territories finally united under the banner of Helmut of Marienburg at the moment of imminent destruction.

But the decisive battle was not over yet. Conrad proposed a truce and negotiated. During the negotiation, Helmut was killed by Conrad. The battle started again. The dwarf Kalad suffered serious injuries during the duel with Jon Skylan, but Kalad did not die. Jerick suddenly appeared and defeated Jon Skylan, but Jerick did not kill him. Jon Skyland, because Jerick knew Jon Skyland could drive Conrad absolutely crazy.

The result was just as Jerick expected, Jon Skyland completely drove Conrad crazy.

Conrad is a warrior. As the second head of the von Carstein family, he does not have the spellcasting skills of the first Vlad and the third Manfred. The army of the dead is entirely controlled by the necromancers. . Completely crazy, he broke with the Necromancer. The Necromancer was fed up with his cruel rule and betrayed him at the most critical moment. Under the dazzling daylight, the sun burned the vampire's skin, and the frightened Blood Knight They fled the battlefield.

Unwilling to give up, Conrad also wanted to organize the army of the dead, but this effort proved too unbearable, and in an instant, his spirit and reason finally collapsed. When the army disintegrated, he appeared on the battlefield in a frenzy. When he was wandering aimlessly in the forest, Helmut's son discovered him and he was eventually killed. With Conrad's death , the Second Vampire War also came to an end.

The victorious human coalition adjusted its direction, focused its attention on the elector issue, and started quarreling and disputes again.

Darkus was thinking and pacing, thinking and thinking. He suddenly paused there. He found that the timeline seemed to be disturbed by him? Due to various reasons, the third head of the Von Carstein family died in the year 2028 in the Imperial Calendar. The surname of Jerick, the grand leader of the White Wolf Knights, was still Krueger, not Von Carstein.

But there is no doubt that Jon Skylan is still there. Jon Skylan was converted into a vampire more than ten years ago. At that time, Darkus was still in the jungle of the Lustria continent. Turning around, Jon Skylan can't be related to him, this is very Tzeentch, the line layout is so long.

After the timeline was disrupted, chaos followed. With Manfred turning into ash, the Third Vampire War may no longer exist, and Manfred's death will lead to the difficulty of Nagash's resurrection. After all, during the resurrection of Nagash, Manfred Red did a great job.

There is no doubt that the first vampire war will definitely end in 2028 in the imperial calendar because of the arrival of Darkus. He knows that Vlad can explode a lot of loot, and some of the loot is what he needs. In addition to the loot, he also Want to meet Vlad and have a drink with him to talk about heroes?

Without Jerrick, and perhaps with the death of Jon Skyland, will the Second Vampire War also change? Without Jon Skylan, perhaps Konrad would be less crazy and Sylvania's army of the dead more difficult to deal with?

Darkus thought for a moment and felt...this didn't seem to have anything to do with him? The trend of the Second Vampire War has something to do with him. He is an elf, not an imperial guy, and not the barbarian with a hammer. But then he thought about it and thought maybe it had something to do with it? He might have almost come to Ulthuan by then, and because of his disturbance, maybe the empire during the Three Emperors period couldn't fight against Konrad like before? Without Jon Skyland, maybe Conrad, who is not crazy, will be stronger?

"Raising voodoos, right?" Darkus suddenly felt his heart darken. In his impression, Conrad's reign was very cruel, or in other words, except for extremely rare vampires like Genevieve, other vampires were That's what it is, because it's already determined by nature. But this is not important. What is important is that he may be able to seek political benefits for the elves.

For example, when the empire is unable to deal with Konrad, who is disturbed by him, Darkus can turn its attention to Ersin Alvin, and when the empire is on the verge of collapse, let the elves shine and kill the empire with overwhelming force. Conrad was helpless. Even worse, you can use the usual political tricks to secretly help Conrad and get things done even if nothing happens. This can not only divert the internal political conflicts of the elves, but also sign some of the treaties and political benefits he needs, paving the way for his subsequent return to Elsin Alvin, and encroaching step by step, after all, a full-scale war will break out with the empire. Not realistic.

Furthermore, it can also make the empire have a certain dependence on the elves. Just like a monkey moving rescue troops, when it encounters a problem that cannot be solved, it will think of the elves immediately. This is like opening a hole. Once the hole is opened, the things behind it cannot be blocked. This is not the final say of a certain emperor, empress, or elector, nor is it the final say of any great priest. Even if Sigma does come back one day, Sigma may not be able to solve it, unless he flips the table and formats it, just like disowning the old debt between the Tsar and Frankie, and clearing the debt.

The Kingdom of Bretonnia is controlled by Lilith in disguise. When the time comes, Darkus will control the empire and the southern city-states. In his view, the scattered southern city-states are just a piece of cake. After all, the labor dispatch of Nagaros accounts for more than the southern city-states. There is no reason why the elves who occupy the ocean cannot understand the southern city-state.

Then eat the southern country of Nehekhara, which is Ta Ulishain in the Elsalin language, turn the vast yellow sand into thousands of miles of fertile wilderness, and distribute it to retired elven veterans through military merit. It can not only appease the veterans, but also provide basic support, such as food and soldiers, just like the Anatolian Military District of the Eastern Roman Empire. At the most critical moment, retired veterans were recruited. After all, elves are immortal species. There is no such thing as old people losing their teeth and being unable to walk. As for institutions and systems, I will study them in the future. In short, Dakoos already has the idea of ​​​​making Ta Ulishayn into Egypt, Greater Syria and Asia Minor.

It's connected to the Lizardmen to the south and the Badlands to the north. After clearing out the Tomb Kings and Skaven, supplies were provided to the lizardmen in the southern jungles, and the green skins randomly refreshed in the badlands nourished the elves and lizardmen, meeting the needs of troop training, integrating offense and defense, and firmly maintaining them. Stability throughout the Old World South.

Moreover, when Druchi completely evacuates Nagaros, he must put something in place. It is impossible to spread salt. Just like what Darkus had originally thought about, maybe some orcs should be added to fill the gap. Orcs are very adaptable and can turn Naggaroth into a second bad land. In his opinion, the vacant Naggaroth will inevitably be controlled by the Yankees who go south to the Chaos Wasteland. Rather than doing this, it is better to hand it over to the greenskins and let the greenskins fight the Yankees.

Darkus is not prepared to give up all aspects of Nagaros. Perhaps the colony of Anaheim can be built in the future. The islands around Anaheim can be connected through force or reclamation to create A large colony, a support point and a large staging post. Radiate the original poison forest, after all, there still needs to be wood.

Needless to say, there is no need to say more about the continent of Lustria, that is Darkus’ basic base. By then, Naggaroth, Lustria, Albion Island, the Norse dwarves of Norsca, Elsin Alvin, and Tal Ulithhayn will all be firmly controlled by the elves and lizardmen. After adjusting the elven social system and turning the elves into a land-sea empire again, and getting rid of the Mannann system and the ships of various races, the elven ships traveled across the vast ocean, connecting these places, wealth, economy, stability, and military strength. Everything you need.

Isn’t this stability going up in a flash? Isn’t this revitalizing the whole thing? Isn’t this realizing the great renaissance of the elves and lizard people? What is the big plan? This is the big plan. The Order side has two powerful people to support it. It will take thousands of years or even ten thousand years to go to the Eight Mortal Realms and the Age of Sigmar. .

perhaps? Maybe not. Darkus's grand plan is definitely not what Tzeentch wants to see. Maybe he won't have to think of a way by then. Tzeentch will have to find a way to release Sigma first. Otherwise, is it okay to continue like this? This is so special. What's wrong with this? Not only the Empire, but also Bretonnia must have trouble. After all, Lilith's identity is always a thunder, and maybe Nagash will be resurrected, but this time it is not Manfred who will help, but Tzeentch.

"I'm quite capable of thinking." Darkus even admired himself. He felt that his skills were getting better and better. In the past, he would not have been able to think of these things, intersperse and connect them together.

The right way is to take one step and see one step at a time. As an immortal politician, Darkus cannot do this. He must at least take ten steps. The immediate and future interests are equally important. He doesn't run for election, and he doesn't need to play short-term policies. After I die, there will be no need to worry about the flood. He feels that he will not die for a while, and he will live for hundreds of years at least. And this sentence That’s not what the original words meant. But what Sigma released was really too far away. It was no longer ten steps, but a hundred steps.

In Darkus' opinion, this is very important. It is like making a travel plan, deciding where to go and then arranging the itinerary and necessary things. This is strategy. Only after you have a goal can you formulate corresponding plans, which are also called tactics.

As a screenwriter, Darkus now has many scripts in his mind, and there are many ways to deal with Vlad. It doesn't take too much. It can be as small as a small fight, or as big as using a knife to open the eyes of the vampires. Knowing that the energy contained in the mirror pool opposite the Forest House is no less than an atomic bomb, of course this is for vampires.

Now that the goal is set, we must go big! His behavior must be recorded by the Empire's official officials, and he must leave an immortal legend in the Empire's society. The people in the Empire must be allowed to see the power of the elves, and the Empire must immediately think of it when similar things happen again in the future. Thinking of the elves, leaving a hook for the future, the god of plague coming uninvited is not as good as bringing help in the snow.

"Are you fighting?" The sleepy Maranur came down the stairs and asked with a yawn. He felt that he had just slept for a while, but the sound of stones and shelling outside was really noisy. Can't sleep.

"It won't be long." Darkus responded and looked at Genevieve who was communicating with the Kane assassins in the corner. He knew that Genevieve was communicating with the two Kane assassins without even thinking about it. What to communicate. After seeing Genevieve at the same time, the script in his mind seemed to be clearer. Felix was useless, but he had Genevieve, the Kane assassin, and the group of shadow casters.

The sound of footsteps came one after another on the stairs. Not only Maranur couldn't sleep, but other elves who were going to rest couldn't sleep because of various noises.

"Are you familiar with the dwarves in the northern city?" Darkus looked at Molana who pushed the door back in after communicating with the human gang. He wanted to take a look at the city wall, but he didn't want to alert the snake yet and let Fra De realized that there was such a powerful elf group in Altdorf. After thinking for a moment, he asked.

"You can talk." Molana answered directly without thinking.

"Do they have flares there?"

"Flare? I don't know, I need to ask."

"Let's go to the city wall to take a look at the situation." Darkus nodded first, then looked at the elves in the hall and said. He was going to go up to the city wall to take a look. Although he might not be able to see anything, he still had to take a look. Look, I’ll make a decision when I get back, and then I’ll enlighten you!
