Chapter 67 Potential Allies
Because the merchants were careful in everything, the speed of the caravan was greatly reduced, but it was not yet to be unbearable. Li Lin took this time to discuss the operation plan with Nia and Anjiera. Destroying the Five-Nation Alliance requires more than just military support. Even if Li Lin recovered the Seven Rings Spirit Envoy, it was far from possible to completely destroy these five countries with a wave. Moreover, Li Lin was not the kind of madman who wanted to destroy mankind. He just wanted to avenge blood and hate and select enough allies to help him win. Now, with a long library by his side, Li Lin has recovered most of his strength. With his identity, it should not be a problem to win over allies. Of course, his goal is naturally to be in the races and countries oppressed by the Five-Nation Alliance. Even when necessary, Li Lin could build an army himself.
Nia's journey over the past thousand years has also brought many clues worth exploring. At least, so far, the elves and dwarves have clearly shown their willingness to the alliance. Although the hidden goddess has joined the alliance, considering the characteristics of this god, the possibility of them actively fighting is basically zero. As for the dragon clan, as long as there is no accident, it is not difficult to seek their assistance by relying on the covenant between the arcane mage and the dragon clan a thousand years ago. If necessary, Li Lin can even go to the Nine Prison Abyss to seek the help of the devil. Their enthusiasm for killing and death should be enough to become the best assistant. As for the elemental plane, as long as Li Lin can open the closed elemental channel and reach an agreement with the lords again, it is probably not difficult to get their assistance.
But, it's just an army.
Even if these forces can defeat the enemy, it does not mean that they can digest these lands. The devil does not like the air in the main material plane. In fact, they prefer to seek stronger power and status in hell. The elves only like forests and jump around between the woods and the currents. The dwarves have always lived deep in the mountains. They who are extremely passionate about ores will not live on the plains. The dragon clan has no interest in ruling the country except treasures. Therefore, even if they finally win, Li Lin is still facing a mess. Therefore, what he needs is not just an army, but a group of people who can help himself to rule this once ruled place, new people, new subordinates... Those countries that were bullied by the five countries are naturally his first choice. Therefore, in the carriage, Li Lin and Nia have been discussing the potential of those countries to become their alliance.
and the re-division of power.
As for the believers of the gods, Li Lin did not really take them to heart. Except for those race gods who firmly stood in the same camp as Li Lin because they considered the survival of the races they protected, no other gods could trust. Because they existed according to the rules, even if they would abide by Li Lin's behavior for the purpose of self-protection, it did not mean that they would become Li Lin's loyal friends. Take the God of Betrayal for example. Once he was willing, he could naturally easily let his believers betray the original country and enter Li Lin's camp. But who knows whether this would be a preparation for another betrayal? After all, this behavior itself is the source of the power of the god.
Therefore, Li Lin also seemed very cautious when choosing the alliance of gods. During the meeting in the Magical Capital, the reason why he decided to choose was because the gods were basically neutral and would not have betrayal. Although gods such as murder and death could also achieve better results, Li Lin was not sure whether they would one day attack their own troops in order to promote their ideas.
However, the race that Nia talked about at the moment made Li Lin a little confused.
"Dark Elf? What is that?"
He asked in confusion.
"That was a species that appeared after the demise of the magic empire. At that time, humans launched an unprecedentedly fierce attack on the elves. The elves still maintained their original conservative style... Under such circumstances, some radical elves believed that the suffering given to them by the elves was a torture. Therefore, they chose to leave the elves' hometown, abandon the faith of the elves' goddess, and instead believed in evil gods. Therefore, they were punished by the elves and turned their skin into dark black. After leaving the elves' hometown, these black elves wandered around the continent, eventually entered the underground world, and chose to live there."
"Then, they must have a deep hatred for the Five-Nation Alliance."
Li Lin naturally grasped the center of Nia's speech.
"Yes, what the black elves hate the most is human beings. After entering the underground world, they sell their souls to the darkness. If we can get them, our combat effectiveness will definitely be improved. I have been to the gathering place of the black elves. You can't imagine that they have both elves' flexibility and cruelty that they don't have. Not only do they have good archery skills like their ground cousins, but they also have very powerful close combat capabilities...but..."
Speaking of this, Nia hesitated for a while, and then for some reason, she looked at Angela.
"Black elves are different from elves. They follow the rules of women being superior to men. In their eyes, men are just a group of useful or useless things."
"That is, they won't obey my orders?"
"It's very difficult. Unless they can have power and wisdom beyond their imagination, they won't surrender so easily. What's more, the evil god is the mortal enemy of the elf goddess. She only gave her magic skills to those female black elves, which is why the black elves can follow such rules."
"If we kill that damn feminist, those black-skinned monkeys will follow the master's order?"
“In theory, that’s the case.”
Nia nodded slightly at Angela's inquiry.
"In fact, I don't think that the black elves belong to the hopeless evil race, they just follow the doctrines of the evil gods."
"So, wouldn't we just go and kill that boring God?"
Angela obviously did not mean to take the gods into consideration. She grabbed Li Lin's sleeve and her eager eyes came from her bright red pupils.
"Kill God..."
Looking at the eager gaze that Anjiela cast, Li Lin shook his head helplessly.
"With my current power, the sub-god and demigods can barely settle it. It would be difficult for the quasi-god words to be true. In addition, the arcane mage will not kill the gods, which is our principle. After all, the gods themselves are different races from us. Although they hate each other because of their rules and positions, they are all gods after all. If the arcane mage kills a god - even if it is an evil god, they will be worried that such a fate will fall on themselves. What's more,..."
Speaking of this, Li Lin stroked Anjie's little head.
"While killing the god, some of the characteristics of that god will inevitably affect the god killer. I don't want to become a shemale, or something like that."
"So what to do?"
When An Jiela heard that Li Lin might become a shemale, she immediately lost her enthusiasm, but she was still unwilling to let go of the obvious killing in front of her. After all, death always makes her feel happy.
"Master, did you give up?"
"If the black elf is really so powerful, it would be a pity not to use it..."
Li Lin frowned and began to think about it. He hadn't encountered such a problem for a long time, and Li Lin was not familiar with the new god. Judging from Nia's tone, that god should not exist originally, but a new god formed by the darkness and cruel wishes of those elves. He was not sure what kind of problem would be there to deal with such a god. A god who appeared after the demise of a magic empire is likely not aware of the relationship between the gods and the arcane mages, and he was not sure about the ancient covenant.
Solution. Therefore, Li Lin did not intend to take risks. However, Nia's description made him very moved. Li Lin of course also understood that the elves' non-strife personality would become an obstacle in the war. At most, they would only focus on taking back their territory and not considering invasion. Li Lin now needs some subordinates who are strongly aggressive and have the ability to obey and dominate. The black elves have strict standards and clear classes. In addition to their extraordinary cruelty to humans, they are really good objects.
"Look at the situation first."
In the end, Li Lin made a decision.
"I have to talk to the Elf Goddess before I can decide the final conclusion. As for the next..."
As he said that, Li Lin looked out the window. In his magical vision, he could clearly see a mercenary wearing leather armor holding a long sword, walking on the side of the caravan. He looked around from time to time, and at the same time he was very vigilant to check the situation around him. Although he didn't know what this guy wanted to do, Li Lin did not intend to let such an unstable factor remain in his team.
"It's almost time for our Mr. Mouse to verify our true self."
It's time to rest again.
The young mercenary quietly avoided others' sight and entered the depths of the woods. It was not until here that he was sure that no one followed him that he could calm down and breathe a sigh of relief.
It's almost time to leave this caravan.
He said to himself.
Although it was a good idea to choose this caravan that no one dared to mess with in order to escape the pursuit, it seems that it is not that simple now. Although the young mercenary thought he had done it perfectly, he was still a little uneasy, as if he was doing something extremely dangerous, as if he took the initiative to run to the dragon's nest and stood by his mouth.
When you arrive at the next site, you must be separated from this caravan.
The young mercenary made a decision in his heart, but at this moment, his body suddenly became stiff and motionless, as if he was imprisoned by some external force.
This discovery made the young mercenary nervous suddenly. Could it be that this would not be able to escape from the other party's clutches?
Just when the young mercenary was uneasy, Li Lin walked out from the side.
"Hello."
