Chapter 643: The Weakness of the Elven Ministers
When the elves heard that Commander Bunduk already had a general direction of attack, they were extremely happy.
He bowed respectfully to Commander Bunduk and said, “The life and death of the elven colony depend on Commander Bunduk. I only hope that my people can safely survive this crisis.”
Bunduk nodded, he continued, “I wonder if the Elf King has prepared a camp for our soldiers to rest in. They have been through a lot on their journey. If they do not have a timely rest plan, they might not be able to deal with the undead soldiers tonight.”
“Of course!” The Elf King hurriedly waved his hand to signal the old elves next to him to lead the soldiers who were waiting at the palace gate to a place where they needed to rest.
This was a very important battle. The Elf King did not wish for any mistakes to occur. He did not have the qualifications to be the commander-in-chief of the elven colony, but his people had unconditionally given him hope, therefore, no matter what price he had to pay, he still needed to win this battle.
The Elf King said again, “Commander Bunduk, I wonder what battle plan did Lord Kant discuss with you?”
He looked so anxious as if the undead soldiers would attack at any moment.
Bunduk muttered, “Your Highness, this is the battle plan of Lord Kant and me.”
He grabbed the stick next to him and said to the Elf King, “One stick is easy to break, but two sticks are not so easy to break!”
“I understand that.” The Elf King looked at Commander Bunduk in confusion. He was more and more interested in knowing their battle plan.
Bunduk continued, “This is our battle plan!”
He smiled confidently and cheerfully. He believed in his young soldiers. These young soldiers were the future of the country.
The reason why Drondheim was able to develop so well was because of the protection of these strong soldiers.
However, the Elf King clearly did not understand the meaning behind Bunduk’s words. He asked again, “Commander Bunduk, I don’t quite understand what you’re saying. Can you be more specific?”
Bunduk said solemnly, “Your Highness, this is a very simple principle. As long as we are united, we can defeat the undead soldiers. No, even if there are 100,000 undead soldiers, as long as there’s unity, we will definitely be able to defeat them!”
“Unity?”
This term seemed so unfamiliar to the soldiers of the elven colony. The soldiers of the elven colony paid more attention to their individual abilities. They had been trained as offensive magic soldiers since they were young, they were either medical soldiers who were good at medicine or logistics soldiers who were good at supporting skills. However, unity was a rare word that he had rarely heard.
“That’s right, Your Highness, please place enough confidence in me. My soldiers, they are all united soldiers. As long as there’s unity among these soldiers, they will definitely be invincible!”
Bunduk spoke so seriously, without any hint of weakness or inattentiveness.
“But…” the Elf King paused for a moment and looked at Bunduk worriedly, then said, “the soldiers led by Commander Pam were also very united, but the final result was not very optimistic. Commander Bunduk, I still can not agree with your opinion. Comparing unity and individual ability, the latter is more important in the elven colony. As long as one has the individual ability, even if he is a person who leaves the team, he can still stand in a very high position. All of them are very arrogant and would not listen to the opinions of others. However, it was because of these elves who had outstanding individual abilities that they were able to resist the undead soldiers time and time again.”
The Elf King even felt a little proud of his elf subjects.
Bunduk retorted, “But Your Excellency, you did not really defeat the undead soldiers, did you? Didn’t you still seek help from Drondheim in the end?”
Bunduk’s retort forced the Elf King into a speechless state. He admitted that he couldn’t refute Bunduk’s words, but he still found it hard to accept such a statement. After all, the elven colony was indeed a place where strength was respected, without strength, it was impossible to become a simple n.o.ble.
“If you still don’t believe me, then let’s use tonight’s victory to make a big bet with you, shall we?”
Bunduk laughed. He also wanted to ease the current atmosphere.
They were not opponents, but allies. The argument just now clearly had sparks, and Bunduk stopped such a conversation in time.
Bunduk said again, “Elf King, we need your elves to help us tonight.”
The Elf King replied resolutely, “Of course. Our elves will definitely be the strongest support.”
“But…” Bunduk paused for a moment, then said, “all of your troops must listen to my orders. No one can leave the team!”
Bunduk also told the Elf King his request very seriously.
The Elf King nodded and said, “No problem. I want to see what Commander Bunduk means by unity. All of my soldiers can be temporarily commanded by Commander Bunduk.”
On Madeline Square, the Elf King gathered all the ministers and soldiers with three-star elven power and above.
Most of the soldiers had dirty faces and looked lazy. They did not look like soldiers at all.
Bunduk silently remembered it.
He suddenly understood one of the important reasons for Commander Pam’s failure. These elven soldiers who were about to go to the battlefield clearly did not take the cruel battle that was about to come seriously. They were lazy and perfunctory, even though their homes were about to be destroyed, they still did not care. The ministers also seemed to have a gap between each other. They looked at each other with great resentment.
Bunduk saw all of this.
The ministers of the Elven Dynasty said in a loud voice, “Ministers, today our elven colony welcomed an excellent commander. Under his leaders.h.i.+p, everyone will definitely be able to win this war.”
All the elves in the square appeared very calm. Some of the elves were even absent-minded when the king spoke, and no one knew what was going on in their minds.
“Therefore, everyone should unconditionally obey the words of Commander Bunduk. Do you understand?”
The Elf King did not have much authority, and the elves below him were all barely in agreement. Most of them held a small portion of real power, while the real power of the Elf King was greatly weakened.
