Chapter 702: Invading Alfheim (2)
A feint attack is a delicate skill. The Frost Giants cannot appear too weak, nor can they appear too strong.
If they appear too weak, then the Light Elf Queen will not retreat to the Royal Palace. Conversely, if they appear too strong, it will directly cause the Light Elves to seek aid from Asgard.
There is also a reason why they don't directly seek aid from Asgard. Although the Asgardians boast themselves as the Guardians of the Nine Realms, they are not the kind of free warriors who station troops everywhere. On the contrary, they are very measured.
Ordinary frictions will not attract the Asgardians. They are not so idle as to manage everything. Generally, only a full-scale invasion like that of the Frost Giants is worthy of their intervention, and even then, they will only intervene if the invaders are asked for help.
The Asgardians are not mercenaries like angels and will not provide assistance to anyone for pure benefit. They value the peace of the Nine Realms more. Unless someone crosses Asgard's bottom line, they generally will not go to extremes.
Even when the angels, who killed God King Odin's eldest daughter, Odin did not choose to massacre all angels to vent his anger. He simply expelled the entire Tenth Realm. From the results, after the angels were expelled, the Nine Realms became much more peaceful without these warmongers.
It is also for this reason that Asgard will not easily intervene in wars between two nations. Only disasters like the destruction of the world that arouse public indignation will directly lead them to take action. Otherwise, most of the time they will still wait for others to ask for their aid.
It is also because of this rule established out of respect for other nations that gives Malekith room to maneuver. If the Asgardians were more domineering and stationed troops in other realms, then this plan would become nonsense and impossible to realize.
But if that were the case, the biggest scourge of the Nine Realms would become Asgard.
Now Laufey is performing the mission of feint attack very well. He first showed off his muscle, indicating that he could destroy the Elves' shield, but the speed of this destruction is relatively slow.
This not only puts pressure on the Elves, but also does not push them too hard. It can be regarded as the first step in boiling a frog in warm water. The rest depends on Malekith himself.
After all, the key point of the plan is still on him. If he is not up to par, then even if Laufey blocks the Asgardians here, it will be useless.
But if Malekith succeeds, it means that their plan can begin to be implemented.
…
Different from the bustling Frontline, the Main City of the Light Elves is now lacking in popularity. Don't look at the Light Elves who usually live in an atmosphere similar to a Festival. They are actually a Race where all people are Soldiers.
This is due to Alfheim, this Treasure Trove. It is extremely suitable for the development of Magic. The Light Elves who live on this Soil naturally grow into a unique Magic Society.
Their Life is inseparable from Magic. Everyone is a Magician, and even some Children have mastered one or two Magic tricks.
In addition, with the unique plants and creatures of Alfheim, as long as they stand on this land, the Light Elves all have considerable combat power.
But even so, children cannot possibly go to the battlefield. So now in the Royal City, there is only a Team, a small number of adult Light Elves and a large number of Children.
It can be said that the current Royal City is really as Malekith expected, sparsely populated and defense empty. At present, everything is developing according to his Plan.
After the Elf Queen returned to the Royal City, she did not idle. In addition to often paying attention to the situation on the Frontline through Communication Magic, she also began to bring the Children in the city into the Castle. After all, it is always right to be careful.
Although it is unlucky, it is always right to make the worst Plan.
At the same time, the Elf Queen also took out something that could connect Asgard, a crystal clear crystal. As long as it is activated, it can send a rescue signal to Asgard.
However, as soon as the Elf Queen took out the crystal, she saw a face on the crystal clear crystal. It was a face that definitely did not belong to Alfheim.
Blue and ominous black each accounted for half. It was clearly an elegant smile, but it made people feel cold in their hearts.
Malekith, the King of the Dark Elves, and also a well-known madman in the Nine Realms.
The Elf Queen's pupils shrank, and she immediately realized that this was a reflection. She turned around abruptly and just happened to see Malekith smiling at her.
The guards also reacted immediately. It would be better to say that the moment Malekith showed his figure, the guards had already rushed up. In the blink of an eye, Malekith was surrounded, and the Queen was protected at the very back.
"King of the Dark Elves, have you joined forces with the Frost Giants?" The Elf Queen questioned Malekith while preparing to activate the rescue crystal.
The alliance of two kingdoms is not something that Alfheim can resist. What's more, it is an alliance of Dark Elves and Frost Giants. Calling for rescue at this time is the best method.
"Oh～ I advise you to be careful, my Queen." Malekith did not answer the Elf Queen's question, but casually pulled out a small figure from an unknown space.
Golden hair, white skin, pointed ears, these together are the standard Light Elf appearance. Malekith was actually carrying a Light Elf child in his hand.
The Elf Queen's body paused, and Malekith's threat was self-evident. This move caused a commotion among all the Light Elves. Using a child to threaten others is the most inferior means.
But Malekith didn't care. For him, even the most inferior means, as long as it works, he will use it. After all, he crawled out of the gutter.
Patricide and matricide, he has done a lot of things that are outrageous. All this is for himself, and for himself he can do anything.
"Now can we have a good talk?"
Malekith asked knowingly. Not to mention that these Light Elves have noble morals, even an ordinary king would not ignore the life and death of children in this situation. Public support is the foundation of a nation. As long as they are normal humans, they will hesitate for a while.
Sure enough, facing the child's terrified expression, the Elf Queen's hand could not activate the crystal after all. After a while, she could only honestly put down her hand.
"Speak, what do you want to talk about?" The Elf Queen suppressed her rage. "As long as you let go of that child first, I can promise you anything."
Malekith put his hand on the child's face and gently stroked the latter.
"That won't work, my Queen. You must know that I am very timid. If I let go of this cute little thing, these angry soldiers under your command will tear me to pieces. So..."
Malekith showed a disgusting smile and said, "Let's talk like this."
