Chapter 1099 Aegwin’s Opinion
Emerald corolla.
Even though the lake outside is frozen and snowflakes are flying, here in the Emerald Corolla, it is still like spring all year round. The laws of nature have completely lost their effect here. Beautiful flowers are blooming everywhere, the air is filled with vigorous vitality, and the elves are also We are living our own leisurely life as always, and the sudden snowstorm not long ago left no trace here.
Tang En and Aegwen sat quietly by the lake. They looked at the cannery in the distance, but their minds were not on the factory.
Tang En enjoyed this kind of time alone with Eggwin. He was usually too busy to have time to spend time with Eggwin - although Eggwin didn't feel this way.
After finally reminding Justeza and the others to complete the basic instruction set of the artificial soul quantum computer and start the process of integration and induction, he had time to come over and shamelessly nudge Aigwin to increase his favorability, but when he thought of With what was about to happen next, he felt that it would be difficult for his favorability to increase.
After being in a daze for a while, Tang En looked at Egwen beside him. After turning his eyes around her translucent ears, he landed on the side of her face. After hesitating for a long time, Tang En just When he was about to speak, Aegwin suddenly looked sideways and looked at Tang En with a puzzled look on his face: "Is there something strange on my face?"
After saying that, she touched her cheek a little embarrassedly, as if there was really some dust on it.
"How could it be possible? You are a legendary powerhouse."
Tang En laughed dumbly. After a pause, he lowered his eyes slightly and whispered: "Aegwin, if, I mean, if, I have to start a war next, what would you think?"
"war?"
Egwen looked at Tang En in great surprise: "Why?"
Although the Illrus Empire split after the Second Chaos Invasion War, and there is still some friction between the various countries, it has to be said that Purandar is now in a rare period of peace in its thousands of years of history. , the army of Chaos left too painful memories for the creatures of Purandar. Now all the creatures are recuperating. Apart from disaster and pain, what else can war bring?
"...Perhaps, to complete my mission?"
Tang En made an excuse for himself. In order to fight against the Chaos Army, he had to gather the power of the entire Purandal. Unifying the world was the easiest way, and the Kingdom of Grace was now an obstacle in front of him.
"That's it..."
Egwen pondered for a moment and then asked: "Why do you ask for my opinion?"
"Of course it's because your opinion is very important to me!"
Tang En once again hinted at Egwen's importance to her. Unfortunately, such roundabout love words had no effect on the elves, let alone Egwen, who was a very simple group of elves.
Aegwin asked Tang En in return: "If I stop you, will you give up the war?"
"this--"
Tang En hesitated for a rare moment, mission? Or is it Aegwin’s favor? How to choose between the two?
"--Won't."
After a moment, Tang En, who was silent, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "...I found that although I said that I value your opinion, in fact, I just want you to support me."
Tang En knew very well that compared to the love between his children, his mission was obviously more important. If he could not deal with the chaos army, the world would only be destroyed. At that time, everything would be empty talk.
Therefore, even if it is for their future, Tang En must be ruthless and carry out his plan to the end.
"But you know," Aegwin smiled slightly and touched Tang En's head, "It is impossible for me to support the war."
"I found it……"
Tang En was a little depressed: "I am too self-righteous. I thought you would change your principles for me."
He thought that his importance in Egwen's heart might surpass her principles, but he forgot that a person without principles and beliefs...including elves, how could he be promoted to legend?
What's more, Tang En is far from being that important in Aegwin's heart.
"That's impossible."
Aegwin smiled: "We are friends, very good friends. If I want to describe it..."
Aegwin nodded his lower lip, and after thinking for a while, he tentatively said: "...Like Isally and I? Well, that doesn't seem right... Then...like me and the forest? Although it still feels a bit strange, But it seems close.”
Aegwin is a very simple elf. It is precisely because of her simplicity that she can be undistracted and promoted to a legendary powerhouse without any shackles. It is also because of her simplicity that Tang En is so difficult to conquer.
Unexpectedly, when Tang En heard what she said, his eyes lit up and his heart suddenly filled with joy.
What is Aegwynn? The elf who calls the forest his home!
The elves rely on the forest and trust the forest!
But she said that her relationship with her was like that with the forest. Doesn't this prove that her status in her heart is already very high?
I'm afraid that even Jean and Angus, who fought alongside her back then, wouldn't be able to receive this kind of treatment!
"...Even if our relationship is so good, I can't possibly violate my principles for you."
"No need, what you just said is enough."
With a smile on his face, Tang En took Egwin's hand and asked softly: "Then let me ask you this, if I really start a war, will you blame me?"
Egwen hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Would you harm innocent civilians?"
After finishing speaking, as if to remind Tang En, she hastily added: "I know you are not a person who kills innocent people indiscriminately..."
"of course not."
Tang En laughed dumbly, and naturally scratched Egwen's nose: "Don't forget, my mission is to save the world. I need everyone's strength. It is my purpose to unite everyone. I How could we kill innocent civilians? They are my future strength."
"In that case," Egwen showed a bright smile, "then of course I won't blame you."
Egwen's thinking was simple. If Twain wanted to start a war - he was not a murderous person - the people he wanted to fight must be bad guys. So, based on this simple logic, Egwen would certainly not blame Twain.
Eggwin's words made Tang En feel relieved. He said to Eggwin very solemnly: "I swear to you, this war will definitely be controlled within a controllable range and will not affect civilians. At the same time, I will take action as soon as possible." End this war."
Aegwin smiled: "I believe you."
Tang En, who was relieved, felt that his heart was full of ambition at this moment. The barbarians in the Grace area sent out armored divisions and mobile warriors, and could easily deal with them.
As for those fierce-natured Gris people, after killing Stanley and his henchmen, they will completely break up the entire Kingdom of Gris. The people will be dispersed to various cities in the Illrus Empire, and they will use their strong culture to assimilate. , and at the same time prohibit the Gris people from gathering together and crush the local culture of the Gris area. Within a few generations, the Gris people will be completely assimilated, and there will be no need to worry about any subsequent troubles.
As for what protects alien culture? Multi-ethnic cultures coexist? Sorry, I don't have that patience, and I don't want to take that risk.
Since we are about to stride towards the civilized era, all those backward cultural customs should be rolled into museums. A civilized society, integrating each other and unifying cultures is the feasible future. Forcibly retaining each other's customs and habits, when the population base increases Afterwards, potential conflicts will erupt.
Therefore, it is better to implement the forced integration policy while the unification is still fresh and still has a deterrent effect.
Egwen suddenly asked: "By the way, can you tell me which country you want to attack?"
"It's okay to tell you, it's the Kingdom of Grace."
Tang En said very calmly: "I don't know if you have watched the news broadcast. Not long ago, the army of the Kingdom of Grace invaded the Principality of Sila and the Principality of Ivalan. They robbed their property and food. , and killed countless innocent people. Now the Principality of Sira and the Principality of Ivalan have been merged into the Illrus Empire, becoming part of the Illrus Empire just like hundreds of years ago."
"The Kingdom of Grace ruled by Stanley is an extremely aggressive country. The genes of violence flow in the bones of the Grace people, and Stanley used his personality worship to expand this several times, while also The refusal to communicate with us has caused the current Kingdom of Grace to be an unstable factor. For the future of this world, the current Kingdom of Grace must be removed from this world."
When Tang En said the last word, there was a bit of cruelty in his voice, which surprised Egwin, who was used to Tang En's usual appearance.
"It seems... the Kingdom of Grace has indeed gone a bit too far."
"That's it, otherwise I wouldn't be so eager to deal with them."
Tang En shook his head: "I always have a hunch that if I leave the Kingdom of Grace alone, Stanley will do something wrong for me sooner or later, so I'd better use the excuse of the invasion of the Principality of Sira and Ivalan now. , it is better to launch a direct counterattack."
"The Kingdom of Grace is currently being hit by a blizzard. The Gresians are used to the harsh climate, but the Illrus people are not. It's not a good time to go on an expedition, right?"
Tang En laughed: "It doesn't matter. On the one hand, my weather mage group can change the weather. On the other hand... haha, my soldiers are not afraid of a mere snowstorm now."
"Then..." Aegwin, who was smiling, put his hand on Tang En's forehead, "I bless you in the name of the flowers blooming in the forest. May the green leaves always be by your side and have a safe journey."
"I will."
Tang En nodded, and the next moment, he returned to Ellington.
"Fiona, inform Gene, Angus, Brian, Elsa, Depp..."
Tang En read out a dozen names in succession, all of whom were his companions along the way. Finally, he said coldly: "...Get ready, we are going to war."
