In fact, Selandil didn't understand anything. He could not become the king of the Kingdom of Darkness just by relying on the title of the strongest demigod. He had no shortage of skills in politics, military, and economy.
Even though Selandil was not familiar with it at first and made various awkward mistakes during the operation, he had been a king for tens of thousands of years and was gradually promoted from a small lord to the king of the strongest country in the elves. How could you not know what the opposition is thinking?
More than a thousand years ago, Divine Grace, that is, when the dark energy sky just descended on the entire earth——
Selandil, who was full of doubts and refused to absorb dark energy, and the lords who happily accepted divine grace, once had a debate about "gods and non-gods".
At the beginning, everyone discussed the matter, and everything revolved around "believe it or not, truth or forgery".
But gradually, the shortcomings of Selandil's "always in office and never changing people to rule" surfaced.
Many lords who believed in God and were willing to accept divine grace - many of them, whose strength was second only to the royal family, questioned Selandil's original intention.
The King of Dark Soul Elves, from the moment he rose to prominence and became known, was known for his image of "worshiping gods but not worshiping them". His verbal creed is: "God is a more powerful being, worthy of respect and worship, but one day, He can also reach that state"!
In turn, Selanduil questioned the loyalty of these lords, believing that they put their faith in their gods above their service to the royal family.
To put it simply, the two sides were competing with divine power and monarchy.
The core of the game is that Selandil has too much power and no one can check and balance it.
The lords, especially the great lords, were very dissatisfied with this. They gave up the idea of persuading Selandil, and instead wanted to force him to abdicate and promote Prince Legdis to the throne.
To this end, the two sides mobilized and concentrated administrative, military, economic and other forces to confront each other near the royal capital - Thranthil (meaning the shining crown of Thranthil).
Fortunately, the dense forest area is very large, and the almost completely natural-style royal capital can easily be built very large. In addition, the overall population of the Dark Soul Elf Tribe is relatively small, so the two groups can set up a battle array.
Regarding the internal affairs of the Dark Kingdom and the Dark Soul Elf Clan, both the king and the lords showed relative restraint.
They use all their abilities to intimidate the other party, but they will not actually start a fight - after all, the entire Kingdom of Darkness has a population of only a few hundred thousand. Excluding the civilians, the royal family plus nobles, and the rulers plus middle and lower-level personnel, the total is less than 50,000. people!
The battle is over...what will we do next? Let the kingdom's situation return to hundreds of thousands of years ago? !
No, it is definitely hundreds of times worse than the situation when the ancestors of the Dark Soul Elves migrated from the east to the Perivit Jungle Forest hundreds of thousands of years ago, following a rough road to open the mountain forest——
In the era of our ancestors, there was no hunting team alliance in the southern jungle that was so powerful that it could not be wiped out! There is no Earth Alliance Kingdom on the east side of the royal capital, dominating the northern part of the world!
It can be said that the two biggest enemies of the Kingdom of Darkness, the royal family headed by Selandil, and the alliance of lords headed by Lance Matt, do not dare to start the war lightly, and can only accumulate strength. And then...negotiate!
This conversation lasted more than nine hundred years...
Thanks to the long lifespan of elves, not to mention infinite, but still around a hundred thousand years;
At the same time, there are fewer Dark Soul Elves, so they consume less;
In addition, there are abundant resources in the dense forest, the grassland outside the east side of the dense forest, and the Forest God's Stream flowing through the royal capital and the northern dense forest, allowing them to eat and drink without worries...
The superposition of multiple advantages can ensure that the king and lords live in peace for nearly a thousand years. Apart from negotiating every now and then, they do their own thing the rest of the time.
About 2 months ago, the balance was suddenly broken - Atasha's god-level magic made Selandil and the lords unable to sit still!
The lords took a pre-emptive strike and used this to accuse Selanduil of committing a crime of divine power, and he was punished by divine punishment;
Then, Selendil quickly retorted. Judging from the dissipated magical energy reaching Thrandhir from the Dark South River, it is not enough to be called divine punishment. It is just divine magic. At most, it is unprecedented and extremely large-scale. Divine magic.
After arguing for several days and nights, the two sides chose to compromise with each other and decided to send people to investigate.
However, out of distrust of others, the king sent a group of people, each of the lords sent people, and some small lords who were neutral faction also joined in some people——
Together, these people were intimidated by Atasha and captured multiple scouts.
After no news was heard from the dispatched manpower, all forces finally realized the seriousness of the matter——
The king and the great lords sent their cronies, and the neutral faction sent experts. They were all the most professional and powerful darkwalkers in the Kingdom of Darkness. However, they could not even send back any news, and the entire army was wiped out. The enemy was so powerful. It can be seen.
"There is an invasion from a foreign enemy!" Selandil and the lords reached a consensus and began to prepare a plan to fight.
As for internal fighting, they can let it go first. They don't believe that "the old husband wants to fight against foreigners, so he must first settle down at home." They only know that the land of the Dark Soul Elves cannot be trampled by outsiders.
In terms of strength, the Hunting Alliance army is very strong. They can definitely have a head-on confrontation with the strongest regular force in the Kingdom of Darkness - the Kingdom's rangers composed of the king and the personal guards of various lords - without falling behind;
In addition, the Earth Alliance Kingdom, whose population is more than ten times that of the Dark Soul Elves, also needs the Dark Kingdom to concentrate its full strength to deal with it.
However, neither of these two forces dared to formally invade the legal territory of the Kingdom of Darkness. At best, they harassed and plundered at the edges.
The strongest elf kingdom is not called for nothing. If it attacks fiercely, it will be a disaster. It is crazier than Atasha's flood white dragon attack and affects a wider range.
Now, they used a cruel move - ambush the elven army in the Spider Valley!
Selandil’s vision and judgment are very accurate. He believes:
The composition of this group of people is very mixed. The strange force with more logistics corps than combat corps will definitely not give up that huge and useless palace. Therefore, they must force their way through the horizontally expanded...basin!
"They would rather spend a huge amount of magic energy to maintain the movement of the palace. If they encounter any obstacles, they will clear them at any cost. How can they be afraid of the valley?"
Selandil persuaded, or more accurately described, he convinced the lords and decided on the main tactics.
Spider Valley, after the arrival of divine grace more than a thousand years ago, was changed to the God-given Valley by most worshipers. However, in fact, no matter how nice the name was, no one from the elves dared to enter.
During this layout, the dark soul elves who cast spells only moved around the periphery, only shaping the earth and never getting close to those underground caves and caves.
But Harandis and the others can't. If they want to wipe out this place, they must face the giant spiders!
