Riding and Slashing

Chapter 401 The Handover of Two Generations
On the balcony of the main castle in Wolfenburg.

Islanduil handed the elven scimitar to Wendy: "Your Majesty, what do you plan to arrange? I'm a little worried..."

Wendy took the elven scimitar and bowed to Islanduil: "I will hand over your troops to Lisa Dilan, he is your nephew, he will lead your troops, there will be no problem. "

"I'm not talking about the troops. Of course I'm relieved that the troops will be under the command of His Majesty Li Ang. I just don't feel at ease about my safety..."

Islandil looked in the direction of the tavern in the city: "You asked me to agree to a duel with Aldalian, but I'm really no match for him one-on-one..."

It was a tavern called 'The Brave' located on the main road in the city, and Aldalian was in the tavern - the 'banquet' in the castle broke up badly, so of course Aldalian would not stay in Islandil's residence , he was persuaded by Lisa Dilan to go to the tavern.

"Don't worry, Lisa Dilan will definitely get Ardalian to agree to go to the Erakle Arena to compete publicly. Teacher Wenda Dier is recognized as the 'Queen of the Arena'. If it is a fair duel in the Arena, you and Aldalian will not be her opponent together, so neither you nor Aldalian will be the winner. In the end, Teacher Wendatil will definitely have the final say... Besides, you don't intend to really pursue it. Teacher Vendatil..."

Wendy looked at Islandil with a smile: "However, if you really have the intention, I will help you..."

"Don't, don't, don't... I still want to live a few more years, in case I accidentally make her angry and get kicked up a tree by her..."

Islandil shuddered involuntarily, probably thinking of some violent scenes: "However, His Majesty Leon's military order has just been sent, and all troops must go to Pavlon to join His Majesty. My troops will obey the elves The holder of the scimitar, but how do you control Aldalian's troops?"

"Teacher Vendatil will take Aldalian away. Although I, the Queen of the Noldor, do not have enough seniority to attract people, but when he is away, it should be no problem to temporarily command his subordinates... Thank you Help, Lord Islandil."

Wendy swiped at the elven scimitar in her hand. It was a family heirloom of the Aino family, and it was also a token used to command the soldiers of the Aino family.

"Don't call me Your Highness, I am now your lord, Your Majesty."

Islanduil shook his head: "Aldalian's troops are as stubborn as he is, I think you may need his bow."

The Curtain Bow has the same symbolic meaning as the Elven Scimitar. Not only is it an excellent enchanted bow, but it can also be used to mobilize Aldalian troops.

Wendy nodded: "I understand that, I will get the Curtain Bow..."

……

in the tavern.

Lisa Dilan is 'drinking to drown his sorrow' with Ardalian.

Originally, Lisa Dilan was only here to interrogate Li Ang at the order of Li Ang. It was just a coincidence that he met this matter, and it was not in Wendy's pre-consideration.

But this cameo of friendship, appearing at this time, just played a big role.

The performance at the banquet was very successful, and Ardalion directly provoked a duel at the banquet, and Ithlandil immediately agreed.

If it weren't for the fact that Lisa Diran was present, Ardalian would probably start the fight in the hall of the lord of Wolfenburg...

Although there should not be any major problems with Vendatil, this kind of private fight may not be able to end in the end-Aldalian is emotionally unstable, and if casualties are caused, this matter may turn into The rivalry between the two Noldor-peoples.

Wendy's original idea was to use Vendatyr to create conflicts between Aldalians and Islandil. It would be best to trigger a duel, which would bring certain hidden dangers, but at least for now it would allow Aldalians to attack Boshi City's plan went bankrupt.

Aldarion has his own selfishness, but this selfishness comes from the fact that he wants the entire Noldor group to benefit more.

He will not blatantly oppose the orders of Leon and Wendy, nor will he be detrimental to the Noldor tribe. He just wants to keep the war between humans going.

As long as it can make him interrupt the current plan and confront a great lord like Islandil, it will be difficult for him to come up with any other tricks in the course of this war.

——If Aldalian provoked a duel with Islandil and then led his troops away privately, it would be tantamount to 'infighting caused by a dispute of spirit', which would be disregarding the safety of the entire ethnic group.

Aldalian's subordinates are all adult Noldor, they have brains and can think, whether such a person is worth following.

Therefore, as long as Aldalian hasn't gone completely crazy, he will give up his plan to do things at this time, and instead follow the orders of Li Ang and Wendy honestly.

This is Wendy's use of human nature, but she is indeed inexperienced and not very skilled in using it--Wendy actually didn't think about how to solve the hidden dangers brought about by it.

Because Wendy felt that as long as the current troubles could be resolved, everything would be resolved after meeting Li Ang...

The thinking of this underage girl has always been more adventurous.

But Wendy is lucky, she doesn't need to face too many sequelae - Lisa Dilan just came to Woerwen to deliver the order at this time.

Hearing that Islandil had set up a banquet, of course Risadilan was going to come to have a meal, so he caught up with this drama and played the most important lubricant in it.

Now Lisadilan is the lord of Fort Almera, equal to Aldalian and Islandil in terms of status, and can just be a peacemaker.

Lisa Dilan dissuaded Ardalian in time at the dinner table, and managed to maintain a peaceful atmosphere at the dinner in Lord Walwin's hall—at least there was no fight on the spot.

Ardalian was kind to Lisadilan, because Lisadilan happened to have the same fate as him...

Risadilan accidentally killed Islandil's nephew in a private duel, and the reason for that duel was that the two young men fell in love with the same Noldor girl.

And it was a complete tragedy—although Lisa Dilan won the duel, he did not win the heart of the Noldo girl. Instead, he was exiled because he violated the law of private fighting and caused the death of his clansmen.

That girl didn't like criminals like Lisa Dilan, and she married someone else during the time Lisa Dilan was exiled...

At the same time, Ardalian took away his followers and formed a separate tribe, which can also be considered a kind of self-exile.

So at this time, he is with Lisa Dilan to "drink his sorrows". After all, it is rare in life to meet a "confidant" who shares the same destiny.

Of course, this 'confidant' was temporarily instructed by Director Wendy...

"Private duels are not advisable, Senior Aldalian. Teacher Wenda Dier is a law-abiding person. She cannot fall in love with you because of a private duel... You will understand from my experience, you It is very likely that you will get nothing, and offend Islandil for nothing, and even lead to confrontation between the two tribes, which is not worthwhile..."

Right now, Lisa Dilan is using his own experience to 'enlighten' Aldalian.

"Hmph... Then what do you think I should do? Do you want me to pretend that nothing... hiccup... didn't happen?"

Ardalian was already half drunk, and his speech was a little awkward.

"Of course not! I support the duel you initiated! But you should go to the arena of Erakle to formally compete with His Royal Highness Islandil--that is the way of duel that can be recognized by the tribe, and it will not let both sides Forging a personal enmity, the two tribes will not have any feuds...By the way, Teacher Wendatil said that she only likes people who can beat her in fair competition..."

Lisa Dilan thoughtfully filled the glass for Aldalian.

"I've heard of this too... But isn't that an excuse for her to reject suitors?"

Ardalian took the cup and poured it with his head up.

"Whether it's an excuse or not, this is always an opportunity, right? Senior Aldalian, you haven't been to the arena for 300 years, right? Of course, you are the leader of the clan, and you have a heavy responsibility. In your capacity, you are in the arena It's really inappropriate to compete with juniors... But this duel, you can just be with His Royal Highness Islandil, let us juniors see the demeanor of the strongest Twilight Knight in the past 300 years, and let Wenda Teacher Teal has nothing to say..."

Lisa Dilan filled Aldalian's glass with wine again.

"but……"

Aldalian seemed to be hesitating a bit, he wanted to say something but didn't say it.

But Lisa Dilan quickly took over the topic: "And you can't get too stiff with His Royal Highness Islandil now, the arena competition is just a step that can satisfy everyone, otherwise as long as you make any Any move inconsistent with His Royal Highness Islandil will be considered as an attempt to split the Principality of the Noldor...Think about it..."

Ardalian sighed, picked up the wine glass and drank it down again...

Two hours later, Lisa Dilan, who often hangs out in human taverns, successfully put Aldalian, who usually doesn't drink, on the wine table with his rich experience in drinking...

The next day, Ardalian's Curtain Bow appeared in Wendy's hands, and Islandil's elven scimitar hung on Lisadilan's waist.

Aldalian, who was so drunk, was taken away by Vendatyr and Islandil in the early hours of the morning, and they went back to Erakle together.

The two lords only took away their respective guards, and all the large troops stayed in Volwen.

Risadilan was authorized by Islandil to temporarily take charge of the troops of the Aino family.

And Ardalian's troops, when their lord was away, temporarily obeyed Queen Wendy's arrangement and went to Pavlun.

Of course, if you can obey temporarily, you can always obey. Wendy has realized this a long time ago - Li Ang used the method of "temporary command" from the beginning to make the Noldor rangers develop the habit of fighting under his banner. Nature can learn to do the same.

The two Noldor tribes, the handover of military power between two generations, just appeared after a seemingly absurd trick.

……

A few days later, Li Ang waited for the large army of the Principality of Noldor in Pavlun.

Wendy and Lisa Dilan brought a total of 2000 Noldor warriors, and together with Leon's guards, they formed a [-]-strong Noldor army.

Together with the Silver Hand and the Freedom Legion, a total of more than [-] Eastern Front troops began to officially move south.

The reason why we say this is the Eastern Front is because there is another army on the Western Front.

This force was led by Leofric and Dalion—the two inheritors of the Griffon Knights, and the two human lords that Leon was most assured of.

Leofric had already set off from Karen Deer Castle a few days ago. He went all the way west and entered the boundary of Sava River Castle from the south of Qicha Fortress—of course, in name, he wanted to 'conquer' the Sava River Fort, and 'block' Kryon's forces from attacking Sarleon.

But of course Kryon didn't go to attack Sarleon, and the large troops on the western front didn't really go to fight Sava River Fort. Leofric just wanted to create an atmosphere of a big battle with the Bacchus Empire.

To make this war seem to be intensified, and to make it appear that the Bacchus Empire is really retreating steadily, so that all the Snake Worshipers in Bacchus will definitely show up—the Snake Worshipers provoked the war between the two countries, then They will definitely send people to 'join' the two countries in various identities, so that the confrontation between the two countries will not stop.

Sure enough, just after Leofric's troops 'captured' Sava River Fort from Kryon, an 'insurgent army' came to the door, saying that they could lead him to directly attack Siyuan City...

Of course, Leofric accepted this so-called 'rebel army', and then handed it over to Dalion to lead the army immediately - didn't he want to quickly attack Siyuan City?Dalion directly took the 'Rebel Army' to fight Siyuan City...

Then, General Kryon appeared halfway, and after a "surprise attack" that both sides conspired with, General Kryon won the victory, and Dalyon "barely escaped" with the Griffin Knights...

Later, another 'rebel army' approached General Kryon—then Kryon began to 'counterattack' the Sava River Fort, Leofric held the city firmly, and this time Dalion launched a surprise attack...

——Anyway, surprise attacks are always aimed at the 'insurgents' who are not well trained, and the regular armies of the two countries can always 'escape'...

The western front went very smoothly. Under the tacit understanding of the two sides, within seven or eight days, three thousand snake worshipers—that is, the 'rebel army' were left behind.

General Kryon led the Third Legion of the Bacchus Empire into Siyuan City to prevent the enemy from penetrating into the interior.

Then, no more enemies on the Western Front emerged.

On August 358, 8 of Pan Deli, Li Ang brought the Eastern Front Army to Buyulin Village.

Here, he got the news from Alina that Emperor Marius had driven all the Snake Worshipers out of Emperor Lingang.

However, Emperor Marius was unable to carry out a north-south attack with Li Ang.

Because His Majesty Marius died in Emperor Lingang.

Mario... is dead!

The emperor died of illness because he died in the Governor's Mansion in Emperor Lingang.

But he also died in battle, because just half an hour before his death, the emperor was still personally leading the charge, driving all the snake worshipers in the city out of Emperor Lingang.

Perhaps, with one last breath, he fulfilled his promise to his allies—he would drive the enemy out of Dilingang, and let Li Ang carry out annihilation in the wild.

　I wish all my friends a happy holiday!
