Chapter 10 Cause and Effect
After that day, the relationship between Dereo and Arie developed leaps and bounds. This made Arie, who had just tasted the taste of love, fascinated and obeyed Dereo's words. And Dereo's tasks and plans were to move forward one step forward in the past few days.
Although she was in love, Ariel's identity was destined to not be tired of Dreio's arms like an ordinary girl. Whenever the servants repeatedly urged her to perform the queen's duties, she could only reluctantly crawl out of Dreio's arms and leave step by step.
It was also during this period that Dereo planned all the plans for Prince Terion to be stable.
"As we said before, Prince Terion's behavior is understandable, but for the country, the law is extremely inappropriate. It will shake the authority of the law and make people feel that the law is just that. This is very unfavorable to Usulan."
"So...what if...when he leads his troops back to Usuan? What if he deals with him after that?"
Surprisingly, Arriel did not agree with Dereo's words all at once, but instead put forward her own opinions. She did not question Dereo, nor did she think that her opinion was better than him. She just wanted to use this method to make Dereo look at her with admiration. It was as if she was saying, "Look at you, I can also analyze the problem in this calm tone... Although the conclusion we came to in the end was not very correct."
"I'm afraid this won't work." Dereo shook his head and said, "First of all, the later this kind of thing is resolved, the greater the damage it will cause to the law and your authority. And when he comes back with the army, the matter will not be solved so much. If he defeats, do you have to deal with a hero who has made meritorious contributions? And if he fails, it will also make people feel that you are putting in the wrong. The most worrying thing is..."
"What is it?" Ariel, who felt that she was indeed not considering it, asked.
"It's the other party, Prince Terion's mentality. After winning, will he become arrogant and more presumptuous? Or might he simply overturn your rule with his merits and the army he has in his possession?"
"This...what if he fails?" Arrier continued.
"If he fails, he is more likely to give up and give it a try." Dereo said naturally. This sentence made Arrier fall into silence again.
In this way, Dereo told all the possibilities anyway, without exception, whether he lost or won or was suppressed by Arie, or simply raised the anti-flag. The final result was all unfavorable to Arie. He analyzed it very well.
It was even further pointed out that even if the other party died in the old world, it was still not a good thing for Arie - because other high elves might think that Arie was defeated because Arie refused to give Prince Terion to support and sufficient troops.
In short, you cannot let him leave. You cannot let him leave with the army. Even said, you cannot let him continue to take over the authority of the army. Think about it, this guy who wants to take revenge and even disobeys the resolution of the Light Parliament and violates the orders of the Eternal Queen, this guy has an army in his hands! What a dangerous thing?
Of course, there is everything in Dereo's analysis, but there is no emotion or concept.
He would not tell Arriel how sincere the elf prince had for Usuan and her feelings. He would not tell Arriel. Even if he died, Terriel would not betray his country and the High Elves. He would not tell Arriel that Terriel would be so excited and behave abnormally, and that he would also have his contribution.
It can even be said that at least half of the credit for Tyreon's doing this was caused by the suppression and hostility that Arriel had shown under the guidance of Dreo. Without anyone understanding the anger, unwillingness and pain in his heart, Tyreon's actions were not difficult to understand. What's more, this usually open and upright elf prince was even more ignorant of such behind the plot.
After Dreio's teachings, Arrier's suspicion surged. His view of Terion also became very bad. He gave a little tip on such things and Arrier would be afraid.
"What if the other party gathers troops not to aid the old world, but to rebel?"
Dreo did not say this sentence. It was Arriel who thought of it herself. After thinking about this possibility, she was shocked at the first time. Then she felt unprecedented fear. It was one thing to hate Terion. It was one thing to have political differences and competition with him. But if he fought Terion with real swords and guns, it would be another matter.
This elf prince is not only brave, but also recognized by Usuan as the strongest military commander. There are countless elite soldiers and generals under his command. A large number of Hoss Sword Saints, Great Magicians, and Shadow Warriors serve under him. Usuan's White Lion Guard, second only to the Phoenix Guard, has almost become his private force.
The military service system of Usuan stipulates that at the time of necessity, every adult high elves needs to be conscripted. This system of citizen conscripts ensures the number of Usuan's army. For this reason, Usuan has few standing troops. Among these few standing elite troops, there is a guard force on the northern coast of the Rosen Sea, specifically used to guard against the dark elves in the north of the New World. Kelledo I's homeland has a group of elite dragon knights. These people have a transcendent status and will not intervene in this war.
In addition to these two armies, the other four standing troops are the Phoenix Guard of the Phoenix King, and the other is the White Lion Guard, which should have belonged to the Phoenix King. In addition, the Elf Sword Saint and Magician of the White Tower of Hoss, and the Shadow Warrior of the Shadow Forest
Three of these four standing troops were directly or indirectly under the command of Terion. They may not show anything at all. However, in this case, it makes people sweat.
"Teacher. That's the case...what should I do?"
After introducing the situation that Dereo is actually more familiar than her, Arriel looked at him with a look of help and asked him what he should do.
"It's indeed a very difficult situation." Dereo suppressed his smile and said to Arie, "But it's not impossible to solve it... No, it should be said that the solution to this matter is very simple."
"How is this possible? Although that guy is not a good person, he still has it. Teacher, don't underestimate the enemy!"
When Arriel heard Dereo say this, he felt a little unbelievable. Dereo's performance was always wise and cautious. He considered everything in every aspect, but he had never said such a crazy talk.
"No, no, Erie, you probably misunderstood." Dereo shook his head and said with a smile in his eyes:
"There are only Terion, and only him. There must be many high elves who are loyal to him and even willing to die for him. But there are probably not many who are willing to follow him to launch rebellions or even engage in civil wars. I think that if he really does this, there will probably not be many who will go the same way as him. Most elves will not be in the same vein with him, and the worst case is that they will not help each other.
Whether it is Hosta’s swordsman, the great magician or the shadow warrior of the Shadow Forest. I think these paramilitary organizations that have certain abilities will not invest too much in such risky and insulting things. Even if Terion really forces them too much, they will turn them to your side."
"There is indeed such a possibility." Arrier thought for a while, then nodded, agreeing with Dereo's statement: "So, don't we have to be afraid of that guy?"
"You can't say that." Dereo shook his head again: "In addition to the Sword Saint and the Great Magician, Shadow Warrior, he also has an ace in his hand, that is, the White Lion Guard. This is his direct army. I believe that more people support him and are more loyal to him. At the same time, what I said is the most beneficial to us. A guy honestly expressed his idea of rebellion. But I think, no matter how stupid Prince Terion is, he probably wouldn't do this."
"So teacher, what do you think he will do?" Arrier's face turned red. But he understood. Dereo said so much before, and he pretended to make her feel at ease. He secretly cried out ashamed in his heart.
"Of course I'm looking for an excuse," said Dereo. "I thought about it for a moment and found that he did have a very good excuse to use. In fact, all the reasons for rebellion that have wanted to usurp the throne in ancient times are almost the same."
“What is it?”
"It's me, little fool." Dereo couldn't help laughing: "It's me, the treacherous villain around me, the Eternal Queen. He instigated the Eternal Queen to disrupt the government. Prince Terion was filled with righteous indignation, and promoted the righteous army, cleared the emperor's side, and gave Wu Suan a bright world. Do you think this script is very interesting?"
"Use you, teacher, as an excuse..." Arie's expression suddenly became much gloomy. First love, women in love are always extremely fanatical. After hearing Dereo's words, Arie completely hated the innocent and poor Prince Terion.
