It was not until sunset that the debate in the Blood Rose House gradually subsided and a large group of people came out.
Most of them were red-faced and still arguing fiercely, even though their king had announced his decision to end the meeting.
Walking in front, but starting to walk in circles in the square in front of the small building, was the figure of Zeng Chi and the Blood Elf King walking together.
Both of them walked in silence, seeming to be extremely silent.
"Their Highness, this time he gave us... a big problem."
After a long time, the blood elf king said to his prince with a wry smile.
…
"Father, I think they are very honest. Although they could have said it better, it seems that they do not want to deceive the blood-sworn allies who have given great help to the descendants of their compatriots, which is good. In fact, I have already
I doubt the reason and purpose of their coming. You know, there is a battle between the mountains and the sea at this time."
Zeng Chi replied like this.
The blood elf king nodded.
"You're right. Their so-called Eighth Route Army can certainly hide and intimidate the people of Xilu, making them obedient and not to cause trouble, let alone affect His Highness's plan. But it is impossible to hide it from us, and it is they
His frankness makes me...actually...I am more inclined to agree with His Highness's proposal."
He thought for a while, then sighed and said.
…
"Then why... you haven't said a word, but in the end you just said to put aside the dispute for the time being and wait and see what happens? How else can this change? Do you expect the MPs? I think they may never come up with a result.
."
"Sometimes, I wonder if our racial parliamentary system is a mistake. They just know how to argue. A few days ago, they were arguing about whether to fully support our allies, and they are still arguing today. Are we going to miss a good opportunity again this time?"
Zeng Chi suddenly shouted in confusion and dissatisfaction.
The blood elf king sighed again.
"But kid, you also need to know that the concerns of the opposition members are also very reasonable."
"After all, His Highness's plan is unknown. And we also have our own plan. Although it is far away, it is a more stable plan. Although the sweet temptation is in front of us, we must consider if this move fails.
Success or failure to do so will lead to serious consequences."
"Although I am more inclined to support the camp, I have never been able to make up my mind. Maybe it is because I am old and do not have the ambition of young people, and I am always worried that I will lead the race to destruction. So, in fact, I also
Hesitating."
The blood elf king sighed again.
"Now... we... still lack a... key point for us to make up our minds."
Finally, he said solemnly.
…
"key point?"
Zeng Chi was immediately confused.
"Can't the decision of our royal family and the decision of the parliament become the key point? We have enough power to influence the decision of the parliament, and the people fully trust our royal family, as long as we express our opinions clearly..."
he asked in confusion.
"Child, of course we can express our opinions and influence them. But if you were in my position, you would not have this idea easily - every decision I make on such a big matter will be extremely difficult.
, because it determines the future life and death of the race. So, can I express my opinions so rashly? Do I believe that after expressing my opinions, it will bring a better future to the people, rather than despair and disaster?"
"And the people believe in us, and it is impossible for the parliament not to support our clear-cut views. So why? That is their trust in us, and it is also a heavy responsibility that prevents us from acting rashly."
"Just like that Highness, before he understands the thoughts of his Chinese compatriots, does he dare to reveal his intention? He dare not. Because he also has the same heavy responsibility. And before his fleet has arrived, even if he
He revealed his intention. Will the Presbyterian Council and Commander Lin believe him? Or not. Because they also have the same heavy responsibility."
"So, now, you understand their caution and my caution?"
The blood elf king said calmly.
…
"That……"
Zeng Chi also hesitated immediately.
"So I say, my prince, you need to learn more to be a qualified leader. At least, you have to be as steady and... wise as their highness."
The blood elf king actually smiled.
"Child, you have to know that sometimes, the people can decide spontaneously on things that the leaders cannot decide. We must also respect this kind of decision. This is the basis for the blood elves and the blood elves royal family to stand today."
…
"And sometimes, the people's thoughts are not as strong-minded as politicians and leaders. They sometimes appear a little... passionate and blind based on their temporary likes and dislikes."
"Our people are not as diligent and hesitant as the racial leaders. They are simpler and often do not think so far ahead. They sometimes decide on things just for the sake of likes and dislikes. And when this decision becomes their common voice,
This kind of voice will even threaten from the bottom up, and then become a collective decision of the race——"
…
"Have you forgotten the origin of the Blood Oath Alliance? After we, the blood elves, moved to Sun Yao Island, we have been paying no attention to worldly affairs and focusing on development for the future. Our alliance with our Blood Oath allies only originated from an order.
An unexpected surprise that makes people laugh."
"A blood knight who couldn't stand the ascetic life on the island as an adult traveled to the island, but coincidentally ended up in the barren land, a paradise for criminals that we blood elves have never looked at. Unexpectedly, he discovered the barren land.
The land has been greatly changed, and wars between the Chinese and the barbarians were discovered on the cross fronts."
"Out of recognition of the Chinese people's will to resist and revenge and the same hatred for the barbarians, he joined the Chinese team and participated in the Chinese war against the barbarians. In the end, he got angry and fought with the Chinese people in the trenches.
After becoming fellow brothers, he returned to Sun Yao Island to invite more warriors to join. As a result, the Blood Knight Legion among the Chinese people grew bigger and bigger like a snowball. In the end, it alarmed the top brass of both sides and made us
The two tribes have become firm blood-sworn allies. This is the blood-sworn alliance."
The Blood Elf King said lightly, and Zeng Chi suddenly became thoughtful.
…
"So, the key point in this matter is not actually the royal family or the parliament, but the people's recognition of them."
"If our people agree that they are worthy of us doing this, then the blood elves never mind giving to the friends they consider. What's more, this kind of sacrifice may lead to terrible consequences, but it may also lead to unimaginable gains for us.
The fruits of victory. As long as they agree with them, public opinion is likely to sweep from the bottom up again."
"What's more, the series of ceremonies performed by their Highness are indeed very touching and prove their strength and nobility. You have also seen it, and the reactions of the MPs have also proved it. It is difficult for us to refuse this temptation. But with
At the same time, we are really afraid of the consequences if those big bets fail, which we will be unable to bear."
"So, in the face of a stalemate, the people's opinions are of vital importance."
The blood elf king said meaningfully.
…
"But now how do we make the people identify with them? You know, to us they are not our blood-sworn allies, but just their distant relatives and strangers from another dimension."
Zeng Chi asked.
"Then it depends on their Highness. In fact, I also revealed this to their Highness in a vague way during the previous meeting. Presumably, he has also realized it and is thinking of something to do about it?"
A strange color suddenly appeared in the blood elf king's eyes.
…
"He? He won't go to our Sun Yao Island to perform some rituals again. You know, it is an extremely powerful force, but for a large number of middle and high-level us, it is not as good as sending a few Xingyao to go around.
It can shock people's hearts. Moreover, it's just a show of muscles and won't be of much help in winning people's recognition."
Zeng Chi shrugged.
"This is my final test for him. Otherwise, I will not agree to entrust the entire clan's troops to him to carry out an adventure that is not related to our life and death. You know, although this may make our clan's wish
It will be compensated, but it may also completely change our more stable national policy, although our hope is slimmer, leading to a national disaster that will follow more than ten years later."
The blood elf king nodded.
…
"But it's almost impossible. Kael'thas is above. How can our people identify with an alien empire and their people? Do they think they are friends worthy of our help? They have never met before.
What about the other party? That’s ridiculous. Since we are more inclined to their proposal, then we have to do something for them?”
Zeng Chi said dissatisfied.
The blood elf king looked at his prince reproachfully.
"My child, although you are the first blood elf in our clan's history to be recognized by Master Ao again, the people worship you fanatically because they see the supreme glory of His Majesty Kael'thas in you."
"But if you continue to act like a simple soldier without considering everything, then I will consider handing the throne directly to you and Xiaoman's child. You are more suitable to be a demon war commander than a leader.
"
…
"Didn't we invite them to visit Sun Yao Island? This is what we did for them."
"We are looking for possibilities in the impossible and pursuing the possible. Otherwise, do you think the Barbarian God is really so easy to deal with? Is the plan really as beautiful as imagined and can it be easily and perfectly achieved? There must be various problems in it.
There are unpredictable variables. Even our ancestors of the previous generation, who are different from the pseudo-gods of the barbarians and can almost be called true gods, cannot predict what will happen in the future. Otherwise, there would be no people who lived thousands of years ago.
God is at dusk."
"So, everything depends on the will of God. If His Highness has the ability to make the impossible possible again and again, allowing the strange and strange empire he represents to be recognized by our people. Then, combining his genius with his previous miraculous performance
, he also has my trust that allows me to put the fate of the whole family on the line and gamble with him."
"otherwise……"
The Blood Elf King did not say any more, but everything was self-evident. (To be continued...)
