Chapter 255: 261 Serves You Right

261 Serves You Right
“We have to save his life.”

Tagris’ words were very calm and casual, still without any emotional fluctuations.

It was as if Kang De was only an unrelated ordinary person.

He was not the executioner who killed 60,000 elf soldiers with a flip of his hand.

The expressions of those middle-aged elves who clearly had noble statuses and were powerful also changed. They could not help but hesitate. Even if they had a long lifespan and were used to seeing the rise and fall of the mortal world, the thick experience and rich experience they had accumulated were the treasures of the entire country. They could not accept saving the enemy of the entire country.

After all, what Kang De had done was really too great.

Not only did it deal a heavy blow to the Royal Army, but it also swept away the prestige of the Twilight Dynasty and made them the laughingstock of the various countries. It would even make the vassals and colonies restless.

That was six Dragon Flag Legions. Tens of thousands of glorious soldiers, the years, honor, victory, and reputation that had accumulated in sand for a long time, had all become stepping stones for a human’s name to shake the world.

If there was a Guinness World Record in the other world, Kang De could even obtain a world record of “he personally killed the most elves”. If this was the system, Kang De would definitely obtain the achievement of an “elven butcher” and obtain the effect of increasing the damage of the elves by 30% and permanently locking the aggro of the Twilight Dynasty.

Which elf did not want him to die? How could they be willing to save him? If one gave you a button that could kill Trump if you pressed it, it would definitely be smashed endlessly.

Therefore, the elf who had been talking to Tagris whispered, “Your Highness, this…”

Tagris glanced at this court official who had served the Eternal Court during the era of the Light King and smiled faintly, “Elandir, even someone as old as you has forgotten that compromise is the essence of politics?”

Elandir frowned. “But with him…”

“Is a person who can destroy several elite armies in an instant and affect the trend of a war not enough to make us compromise?”

Tagris asked gently, “Then what can make us retreat?”

Elandir wanted to say that there was nothing that could make the Twilight Dynasty retreat, but as a wise person, he understood that he could not say such a thing because it represented a dangerous thought.

“Look… this is the problem.”

Tagris reached out and pinched the space between his eyebrows. He sighed, “The political atmosphere has already become like this. Even a wise person like you will be subtly influenced. I thought that although the parliamentary system has separated a portion of the power of the Royal Court, it can finally correct mistakes. The wise sages are still too wishful thinking. From the looks of it, it’s inferior to a monarch’s dictatorship…”

“…Your Highness!”

The expressions of the elves gathered around Tagris changed. Elandir whispered, “Please don’t say that! Such a speech can easily cause discussion and commotion!”

“I’m not stupid.” Tagris smiled lightly, “Who really cares about the words of a royal Duke who’s famous for his gentle and benevolent personality and has been weak since he was young and has no choice but to maintain his life with magic medicine?”

These words made the elves shut up and lower their heads at the same time.

“Let’s talk about this Kang De again.”

When Prince Tagris, who had been conferred the title of Duke of Tiling after the empress succeeded the throne, chatted about the Cathayan whose name resounded on the continent, interest flashed through his green eyes.

“Elandir, don’t you think he’s very interesting? His background is interesting, his strength is interesting, and the role he plays on the world stage is also very interesting…”

Due to physical reasons, the Elven royal family had far fewer men than women. This rare prince chuckled and said, “According to Therlandron’s confession, although Kang De’s performance in the battle of Valentine can be said to be brave, he’s only at the level of the Royal Guards. Perhaps we only need a team of elite assassins and a detailed plan to kill him.”

“However, such a person can deter the Twilight Dynasty and make us temporarily stop our military operations.”

At this point, he even smiled, “And he’s on the side of a weak duchy like Goethe… What if he’s on the side of the Empire? I can guarantee that the human emperor won’t hesitate to declare war on us. Moreover, he’ll use that terrifying destructive power to obtain several decisive strategic victories…”

Elandir said in a low voice, “So he’s a huge threat…”

Tagris shook his head and said, “No, this is not the point of the problem. My thoughts are that if the Human Empire holds this power, they can turn to a strategic attack and challenge the status of the Twilight Dynasty. Then, what if we have similar power?”

Elandir looked at his colleagues beside him. They were all elves who had accumulated wisdom over a long period of time, but they discovered that they could not follow His Highness Tagris’ train of thought.

“…Your Highness?” He said in confusion, “What do you want to say?”

“Deterrence… the meaning of deterrence,” Tagris said seriously. “In the face of such power, the gathered army will suffer a destructive blow. The holy capital that has been passed down for thousands of years will easily turn to ruins. It’s so powerful that it’s impossible to resist and predict. When the two countries also have this level of power, I can boldly say… At that time, peace will descend.”

“This…”

The elves were even more confused. If not for the fact that it was too rude, they would even point out that this statement was too ridiculous.

—Who would understand this?!

There’s only one Kang De. How can we have this power like the Empire?

Investigate and snatch Kang De’s secret?

Since we can obtain it, why let the Empire keep a copy?

—If we use this power to kill the Human Empire, peace will still come.

Although the elves did not speak, their eyes already revealed this.

Tagris looked at them a few times and sighed silently.

“Forget it…” He muttered, “I didn’t expect you to… The saddest and most painful thing in the world is that only I’m awake.”

—How rude.

Although they were evaluated like this, the elves did not show any anger. Instead, they lowered their heads.

Then, Duke Tagris revealed an expectant expression, “However, it doesn’t matter. I have a feeling that this diplomatic mission will definitely be very interesting. Since Kang De took the initiative to say that his strength can only be used three times, he must know the use of deterrence and even the true meaning.”

“After all, that Valentine speech has already been explained very clearly…”

At this point, he chuckled. “He must be an interesting guy.”

Elandir frowned and pondered for a long time before sighing, “Your Highness, I still don’t understand. He’s human after all. There’s a possibility that he’ll side with the Empire. He’s a potential threat to Twilight…”

“—or our potential ally,” Tagris said indifferently. “Don’t you think it’s too wasteful to use such a powerful force only to deter us?”

Elandir’s expression suddenly changed. This Sage of the Royal Court actually revealed a fearful expression.

He muttered, “You…”

“Kang De, to use the Cathayan language to describe him… is a wonderful person.”

Tagris said indifferently, “Goethe can’t resist Twilight’s attack. Even if we add him, we can’t. However, his appearance means that there can be another solution to the matter because the essence of politics is compromising. If he’s valuable enough, we don’t mind compromising. It’s not impossible to let him rule Goethe.”

He wrapped his cloak tighter around him and exhaled, “The council’s secret order is about to be sent to the expeditionary army, right? The pro-war faction still has the advantage. They’re unwilling to lose and retreat. The so-called negotiation and compromise are only an illusion. They’re secretly implementing the plan to hunt Goethe… I plan to do the same.”

Duke Tiling glanced at the court minister beside him and smiled, “The council is hunting Goethe. I’m here to hunt Kang De. The division of labor is clear and our cooperation is pleasant, but the royal family will definitely obtain more. This is the rule of the game.”

Elandir still lowered his head and said nothing.

In front of this lord, he was simply useless as a vase.

This was because the other party would not listen to his opinion at all… It had always been like this.

“Elandir, you have to help me.” Tagris did not give him a chance to protest in silence and said meaningfully, “This is also the Empress’s order. You won’t disobey, right?”

Elandir smiled bitterly and touched his chest. “Of course not.”

Duke Tiling nodded happily. “Very good. In fact, I’ve never had any experience dealing with humans in the same capacity. This requires your guidance and suggestions.”

This was because Elandir had once traveled the continent. Like many famous Elven court officials, the legendary elves and legendary adventures were finally recorded in the works of the bards and sung by the world.

He shook his head and said, “If you need advice, I have to say it. Please don’t take it for granted. Please don’t have too high an expectation. Humans are sometimes very rough.”

“No way?”

Duke Tagris smiled and said, “Even I’ve heard of Princess Tina’s reputation. The person such a beautiful flower falls in love with must also be a gentleman with a good upbringing, noble, and gentlemanly temperament.”

“…That’s not necessarily true.” Elandir shook his head and said, “With all due respect, if you want to take him under your wing or rope him into Twilight’s camp, instead of probing and communicating with him here, why don’t you think of other ways—for example, Cathay. The Cathayans take their duty to be loyal to the king very seriously.”

“Cathay? No, I don’t think he’s from that country.”

Duke Tiling shook his head and said, “Such a person can’t appear in Cathay. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been beaten back by a group of nomadic barbarians and even be in danger of destruction.”

“Elandir, although I’m not as experienced as you and have seen the changes in the world, I’ve also learned some experiences and lessons from history. For example, there’s a reason for everything. The destruction of a small country might not be because of them, but because the enemy is too strong. This is the sorrow of the weak, but…”

Tagris looked at the distant horizon. The team of horses from Valentine’s direction was quickly approaching. The scattered elf followers all gathered and took out their weapons to be on guard.

“However, if a large country continuously declines or even ends up being destroyed…” He sneered, “Then there’s no other reason. They definitely deserve it.”
