Chapter 335 Intelligence
Although the war council was completely over, the situation in Donnar had not changed much noticeably.
Although the War Council pushed the front line forward a lot.
But apart from those within the War Committee who believed in the battle report, the outside forces, whether it was the Sinnar countries or the Allied Forces, did not believe it at all.
The reason is very simple. The United Army and the Green Tide are still fighting fiercely, and there has been no obvious changes on the battle lines of both sides. Moreover, since the War Council closed the border, the front lines of both the Council and the Green Tide are all soldiers and extraordinary people of the War Council.
The front line of the War Council is not as mixed as the front line of the United Army. In addition to the main army that suffered heavy losses, there are also a large number of young and middle-aged people who were forcibly conscripted, adventure groups from Sinar, mercenaries, disabled veterans, and so on.
It was impossible to conceal any news on the mixed coalition front, and deserters managed to escape almost every day from the bloody and fierce front.
Therefore, the coalition forces' front-line battle reports were also spread everywhere, but people were just trying to find out the news from the front line.
Therefore, whether the coalition forces' front line was good or bad, how many meters they had advanced or retreated, and basically everything they should and should not know was known.
And what about the War Council?
Due to the strict border closure policy, no outsiders could successfully sneak in, not to mention that the eastern territory of the War Council was an uninhabited wasteland.
If there hadn't been people from the War Committee to lead us there, we might have starved to death there.
Therefore, the War Council is a black hole that allows almost all external forces to enter but not exit, and no one knows what the situation of the War Council is like.
They knew even less about the battle situation on the committee's front line.
Originally, they were not aware of the countless changes that had taken place in the War Council in recent years, and it was even more impossible for them to know that the War Council had organized an extraordinary army of nearly 800,000.
Therefore, they could only guess the internal situation of the War Council based on common sense.
According to common sense in this world, the War Council is at most a younger version of the Resistance.
After all, the War Committee wiped out all the local factions, and the losses of internal troops and extraordinary people were estimated to be very serious, even though they later acquired a large amount of extraordinary materials and poached a lot of extraordinary people from the United Army.
However, the War Committee has at most two or three thousand extraordinary people, and no more than ten thousand extraordinary soldiers.
And if their guess is correct, then the War Committee can probably just hold on, let alone counterattack the Green Tide.
After all, these troops would have suffered heavy losses after being hit by several waves of green tides. It would be great if they could hold on, let alone counterattack.
Therefore, neither the Sinnar countries nor the coalition forces believed the battle reports released by the War Committee at all.
They all regarded the war committee's battle report as a joke.
With the strength of the War Council, can it break through the Green Tide defense line, annihilate millions of greenskins, and advance hundreds of kilometers?
Does anyone dare to take out the things in the dream now?
If the War Council could do all this, then wouldn't the Allied Forces, which are dozens of times stronger than the War Council, have already swept through the Green Tide by now?
It won’t be about annihilating millions of enemies and occupying the apocalypse.
You are so good at bragging, why don’t you say that Kan Ozu was killed by them?
All the forces that were concerned about the situation in Donnar simply treated the war committee's war reports as jokes and waste paper, and did not care at all. Some leaders of the forces even scolded their intelligence personnel, asking them not to send back any inferior information.
Even the few forces in Sinnar that believed in Roland's strength did not trust these battle reports.
The main reason is that it is too exaggerated.
In the battle report, the green tide was like a fragile piece of paper that was easily torn apart by the war committee.
Even if Littorio were still alive, he would not be able to achieve this with the War Council.
After all, they can't imagine what they haven't seen.
Simple breathing and meditation methods, as well as various matching spells and techniques, cover all races and groups.
A surgery that can mass-produce protoss with mid-level combat power.
A unique technology that is ahead of its time and can greatly improve the War Committee's capabilities in all aspects.
The undead and magical plants take on simple tasks to alleviate the labor shortage problem.
To teach and promote all extraordinary people.
A fountain of life that can resurrect the dead in battle.
Each of the above points is not something that other forces can imagine. If any of the above points were to be spread outside, it would be basically impossible for anyone to believe it unless they saw the real thing.
Even if they see the real thing, their first reaction will be to question.
Therefore, it is quite normal for the various forces that do not know these things not to believe the War Committee’s magnificent and incredible battle reports.
After all, they didn't know how much huge and terrifying power the war committee, led by Roland and worked hard for several years, could create.
An extraordinary army of nearly 800,000 people, only the Central Kingdom and the Silver Empire at their peak could mobilize so many people.
In short, when faced with the war committee's battle report, the Sinnar countries and the coalition forces did not believe it at all. They even thought that the War Committee was lying and had no intention of diplomatic communication at all.
Originally, the War Committee intended to use these battle reports to attract support from the Sinnar countries. As a result, even the reduced and restrained battle reports were still considered by them to be fraudulent.
Therefore, the countries of Sinnar did not provide a single cent of support to the War Council.
The diplomats of the War Committee were also speechless about this.
Just because you can't do it doesn't mean the War Council can't do it, okay.
Finally, after trying several times and failing to get any aid, Roland, who received the news, asked the diplomats to stop the aid-seeking efforts.
Since no investment can be attracted anyway, it is better to let diplomats come back instead of letting them waste time and energy listening to the sarcasm of diplomats from other forces.
Humph, if you don’t want to give it to me, then don’t give it to me. The supplies stored by the War Committee are enough for them to fight for two or three years.
However, when the diplomats returned, they also brought some bad news.
The diplomats of the War Council were all of common origin, so they did not have the bad habits of the nobles. In addition, they had all received diplomat training prepared by Roland.
Therefore, when they came into contact with other diplomats, although they had very unpleasant conversations with diplomats from other forces, they successfully established relationships with the attendants of the diplomatic corps of other forces through skills and some gifts.
As diplomats' attendants, although these attendants look insignificant, as diplomats' attendants, they naturally know a lot.
Therefore, after the diplomats of the War Committee established relationships with them, they used some skills learned in training to obtain some very secret information from them.
The countries of Sinnar, especially the Silver Empire, have basically completely given up on the coalition forces.
The Silver Empire's assistance to the United Army became increasingly weaker, and, taking advantage of the war, various types of free aid gradually came with various restrictions and conditions.
Eleanor, who had already started a war with the Green Tide, had no choice but to grit her teeth and accept the various additional conditions.
Relying on these additional conditions, the countries of Sinnar are plundering the countless wealth accumulated by the coalition forces.
With just a few months of assistance, the coalition forces gave all the gold and silver they earned from the war committee to the Sinnar countries, becoming completely paupers.
If you still want aid after you run out of money, you can only negotiate political conditions.
In order to maintain the battle line, Eleanor began to sell out the sovereignty of Donnar.
As the nominal orthodox of Donnar, Eleanor had never actually ruled Donnar, so she had no regrets about selling out sovereignty, land, and title.
With a wave of his hand, a large amount of land sovereignty, various titles and power flowed into the hands of the Sinnar countries like crazy.
It is said that Eleanor even sold a piece of land to several human kingdoms.
Eleanor even sold the War Council's land to the Silver Empire in exchange for a large amount of material aid, as if she wanted to make some big news.
However, although Eleanor was very generous in selling sovereignty, land and titles, the countries of Sinar were not very interested. They only accepted these unprofitable deals with reluctance in order to stabilize Eleanor. According to the mysterious words of a diplomat's personal attendant, the Silver Empire has confirmed that it will give up Donnar.
Although all kinds of assistance were promised, the quality and quantity dropped drastically, and the sophisticated standard equipment was replaced by all kinds of scrap metal.
In addition, the quality of military aid is getting worse and worse. Even some elite soldiers are unwilling to provide assistance, so they use retired disabled veterans to make up the numbers.
After learning these big news, the diplomats of the War Council became more attentive to these attendants.
After reporting the special transfer of gold, silver and treasures, the diplomat relied on bribery and true (sincere) heart (gold) and real (white) intention (silver) to successfully establish good relations with these attendants.
Relying on the various gossips dug out from these attendants, the diplomats gradually pieced together the truth.
The nations of Sinnar no longer believed that Eleanor could defeat Kan'ozu.
According to the servants, the news seemed to have initially come from the Silver Empire.
It is said that some extraordinary people in the Silver Empire witnessed countless battles between Eleanor and Kan Ozu on the front line, and recorded all the battle situations and transmitted them back to the Silver Empire.
After these photos were uploaded layer by layer and reached the six major silver families, a few days later, the six major silver families secretly spread the news that Eleanor could not defeat Kan Ozu.
The servants didn't know the specific reason.
After all, they also overheard it from the diplomats' casual conversations. They only knew that the masters above believed that Eleanor could not beat Kan Ozu, but they, the servants, did not know the specific reason.
Even if the diplomats were chatting, they would certainly not elaborate on the various intricacies involved. And if they wanted to elaborate on these intricacies, they would certainly not let the attendants stay in the room.
Therefore, they can only know this level at most, and they are not clear about the deeper content.
After learning the news, the diplomats of the War Council naturally brainstormed and thought about the truth behind the news, while also trying to find out more information.
However, it was not so easy for them to find out about bribes to diplomats from other forces.
Even though he spent more than ten times the total amount of money to bribe the attendants, he was unable to obtain any useful information from the diplomats of other forces.
Most people paid little attention to the War Council diplomats, and the few who could be pried into action.
Either he kept his mouth shut and never mentioned any relevant information, or even if he was constantly tested, he would at most remind the diplomats of the War Council to run away before Donnar got into complete chaos.
Either they are not careful with their mouths, or they have nothing in their heads. No matter how you ask, you won't get anything out of them. You can only hear some gossip about the Silver Empire.
For example: the prince who was deprived of his bloodline, in fact, the six major silver families only destroyed his bloodline and had no intention of killing him. After all, a waste could not affect the overall situation.
However, in order to keep his position, the current Silver Emperor personally killed the prince who had lost his bloodline, had his talent abolished, and had no right of inheritance.
No matter how much the Silver Emperor acted like he cared about the prince when he was born, it was all fake. He was only doing it for the position under his butt. Once the prince lost his value, he would ruthlessly kill this prince whom he had loved so much before that he even turned against the Silver Family.
The wife of the current Silver Emperor, the former princess of the Kingdom of Inter, did not actually commit suicide, but she was not forced to death by the six silver families.
After all, the Silver Family is not that cruel. After all, their son is dead. If they also forced his wife to death, the current Silver Emperor would go crazy and explode with them.
Just like what happened to the previous Silver Queen, the Silver Family didn't dare to lay any hands on her daughter Sophia, and they even gave her the proper treatment. Occasionally, when the family members bullied Sophia, even if they were hung up and beaten by the Silver Queen that night, no one would stop them.
Because, if they really dared to take action against Sophia, the former Silver Emperor would really drag the forces that were still loyal to her and go crazy and fight against them.
Otherwise, they would not have let Sophia go to the Tower of Truth and let her regain her freedom.
Therefore, the six major families do not want to kill the current Silver Emperor. Anyway, the Kingdom of Inter has been destroyed by the Grape Lords Alliance, and a helpless princess cannot cause any big waves.
Moreover, according to the peace treaty, only their first child has the right of inheritance, and the second child does not matter.
However, the six major silver families did not take action, but the Silver Emperor took action himself.
It is said that on the night the princess committed suicide, the Silver Emperor slept in the same room with her. The next morning, the Silver Emperor came out with a sad face and announced that the princess had committed suicide.
His cruelty was even discussed within the Silver Family.
In this world where the supernatural exists, as long as one has the strength, not only men can have a harem, but women can also have a harem.
However, if it is a marriage between extraordinary people, it is usually between a man and a woman, and it is rare for a harem to be established.
The reason is very simple. Extraordinary people basically stay with extraordinary people of the same level.
Unless they choose downward compatibility, no extraordinary person of the same level would agree to let their partner find another extraordinary person.
After all, both sides are similar. If you dare to look for it, the other side will dare to turn against you. No matter how deep the feelings are, it will be useless.
Moreover, even if there is backward compatibility, not all extraordinary people do not care about their reputation and are willing to accept becoming someone else's second partner, or plaything.
Even if a mid- to high-level transcendent encounters a transcendent who is stronger than him, he will basically not agree unless forced.
And even if forced, no one would dare to sleep on the same pillow with a mid- or high-level transcendent who is full of resentment towards them.
The last high-level transcendent who couldn't control himself and forced a mid-level transcendent to be his second wife died silently at her hands.
As for low-level extraordinary people, or ordinary people.
Well, any mid-to-high-level extraordinary person would basically rather be single than choose a low-level extraordinary person or an ordinary person.
In the eyes of the mid- and high-level extraordinary people who have undergone sublimation, if they have not been sublimated and their life status has not been improved, it is difficult to attract low-level extraordinary people and ordinary people no matter how good-looking they are. At most, they will feel lust when they see them, and at most they will just play around.
Unless there are other factors, such as: childhood sweethearts or having lived and died together or something like that.
Of course, these are normal situations. The world is so big, there will always be special circumstances.
For example: in a political marriage, if there is no emotional foundation between the two parties, it is not surprising to conceive a child as an heir and then openly find lovers with each other.
However, the current Silver Emperor and Princess Inter have a very good relationship, at least on the surface.
They were so affectionate at the beginning that even the Silver Family was somewhat dissatisfied with him for being so concerned about a political marriage.
As a result, the Silver Emperor actually killed him directly, which was something that no one in the Silver Family had expected.
What's even more outrageous is that before the body of Princess Inter was even cold, the Silver Emperor had already started pursuing a single mid-level spellcaster from another Silver family.
The Kingdom of Inter is gone, and Princess Inter is left alone. She is no longer a help to his throne, but a burden. Therefore, he wants to find a wife who can help him consolidate his throne.
For example, the mid-level extraordinary person of the Silver Family.
Even the nobles below could see through his thoughts, not to mention the people of the Silver Family, who were disgusted by the mid-level spellcaster he was pursuing and directly announced that they would go into seclusion.
After she went into seclusion, the Silver Emperor immediately changed his pursuit to someone else.
The single mid-level extraordinary people of the Silver Family were all disgusted by him, and they all found excuses and reasons to flee Ginza at the speed of light.
In this regard, both the six major silver families and other nobles have only one opinion.
That means you don't even care about your face anymore.
Although the secrets of the Silver Empire are indeed quite explosive, this is not the information the diplomats of the War Council want.
After trying countless times and only hearing all kinds of gossip, even repeated gossip, from their mouths, the diplomats of the War Council finally gave up.
There was no repetition in the previous chapter, I just couldn't think of a title, so I just wrote one at random. I didn't expect it to be exactly the same as the previous chapter title, and I couldn't help it.
