Although she is a commoner, Vendathir is extremely respected among Noldo Elves. After all, she has been the teacher of almost all young Noldor in the past hundred years.
Whether they are children of nobles or commoners, they will basically learn martial arts from her.
When a person becomes the teacher of most of the children of the entire ethnic group, he will naturally have a transcendent status and is not restricted by anyone.
Vendathir is not someone who is easily restrained. She already has a status, has no pursuit of power, and has no other desires or hobbies - such a person is inherently difficult to restrain.
She only listened to Wendy's arrangements because she loved Wendy so much. Wendy lost her parents when she was born, and it was Vendathir who took care of her until now. The relationship between her and Wendy is more of a family relationship.
In other words, although Wendy can arrange work for Vendathir, it cannot completely assign Vendathir to do things she is not happy with. Basically, she can only rely on coquettishness.
Fortunately, Vendathir is a responsible person. Otherwise, if she was always asked to deal with Lord Aldarian, she would have given up her choice long ago - she is actually a very bad-tempered person, and even Isildur would not dare to provoke her.
This situation of not being assigned by superiors and subordinates, but being able to arrange affairs in a relay manner cannot continue forever, so Wendy decided to seek help from Li Ang to solve this problem.
But before the troops marched to Amera Fortress and before they had time to see Li Ang, the problem occurred first...
"Wendy, Lord Aldarian doesn't plan to go to Amera Fortress. He said he would first go to Wolwen to meet up with Isildur, and then attack Erudition City... I guess he wanted to prove his strength to His Majesty Li Ang - His Majesty Li Ang failed to capture Erudition City, Lord Aldarian thinks he can do it..."
Vendathir found Wendy helplessly. "I can make him send troops to cooperate, but I can't interfere with his specific tactics."
"Sigh... this idiot. It's not that Li Ang can't capture Erudition City, it's just that he has no intention of occupying Erudition City. After all, now we have to deal with Snake Worship Cult with the Bacchus Empire's people. We can't really defeat Bacchus Empire..."
Wendy shook his head and looked at Vendathir: "Besides, I think Lord Aldarian is probably not trying to prove anything to Li Ang, he is probably trying to show you how powerful he is... Teacher Vendathir, just like stags fighting each other when courting..."
Vendathir rolled her eyes at Wendy, but she knew that what Wendy said was also one of the factors why Lord Aldarian planned to attack Erudition City, just like a stag barking and shaking its antlers...
But the main reason is definitely not this.
"To get to the point, Wendy. Lord Aldarian knows about this plan. He just doesn't want to cooperate with Baxian... and he also doesn't want to cooperate with His Majesty Li Ang's troops-- He still doesn't trust humans. I think he intends to destroy the cooperation between His Majesty Li Ang and Bacchus Empire. He may want to let His Majesty Bacchus Empire and Li Ang really continue to fight..."
Vendathir actually knows Lord Aldarian.
Sometimes many seemingly stupid behaviors are just a little thought from a few people.
Lord Aldarian does have the motive to do this.
Li Ang did not hide this plan from Noldo Elves, because there will be no spies of Snake Worship Cult among Noldo Elves, and to prevent Noldo Elves from becoming hostile to the Bacchus Empire people, Alina's plan must be made clear to all the Noldor leadership.
Of course, Lord Aldarian also knew that New Kingdom of Pendor was going to stage a war drama with the Bacchus Empire, attracting Snake Worship Cult's large troops and then carry out encirclement and suppression.
But for Lord Aldarian, this plan is not in line with the philosophy he has always adhered to...
Compared with other Noldo Elves, Lord Aldarian has higher goals.
He has been sitting back and watching the battles between humans. He hopes that humans will continue to fight among themselves. It is best to defeat them all and leave them with scorched earth. In this way, Noldo Elves may have the opportunity to control the entire continent...
But now that Duchy of Noldo has been established, and the Noldor tribe has 'succumbed' to New Kingdom of Pendor and been ruled by the human kingdom, Lord Aldarian is actually a little unwilling to do so.
Lord Aldarian is not a fool. He knows that the marriage between Wendy and Li Ang is to save the entire ethnic group. He will not hate Li Ang, nor will he be Wendy. What dissatisfaction does Noldo Queen have - Wendy is his kin and the daughter of his good friend. Lord Aldarian himself also thinks that Wendy becoming Noldo Queen is the best choice.
He also did not intend to make himself the King of the Noldor - in the three hundred years since he established the tribe alone, he did not call himself Elf King, nor did he do anything detrimental to the disadvantaged Fenway Family.
What Lord Aldarian pursues is not his own power, but the status of the entire Noldor clan in the Pande Continent.
He hopes that the elves will become the direct ruling class of the entire continent, rather than being vassals of New Kingdom of Pendor, at the mercy of a certain human king.
Lord Aldarian thinks so mainly because of human lifespan.
In his opinion, Li Ang may be a good king and a king who can treat humans and elves fairly. In addition, Li Ang has the blood of Noldo Elves, so there is really no problem in becoming the co-master of humans and elves.
But Li Ang will die sooner or later.
Mixed bloods of elves and humans cannot have the lifespan of pure-blooded elves. This can be seen from the growth cycle. Pande late king Kavala is a mixed blood of the two races, but he only lived more than eighty years old - this is a long life for humans, but for elves, they have just reached adulthood at seventy or eighty years old.
When Li Ang passes away decades later, what will happen to New Kingdom of Pendor?
New Kingdom of Pendor's system is an independent principality enfeoffment system, which means that Duchy of Noldo's sphere of influence has basically been limited - Li Ang has all the castles outside Noldo Forest assigned to Duchy of Noldo, which is equivalent to clearly identifying Duchy of Noldo's sphere of influence.
That is to say, based on Noldo Forest, the territory is roughly equivalent to the entire eastern region of the original Lionheart Kingdom. The territory alone is one-tenth of the entire Pande Continent. This is indeed the territory standard of a powerful grand duke.
For most Noldo Elves, this is a very satisfactory result.
But for Lord Aldarian, this means that it will be difficult for Noldo Elves to become the rulers of the mainland.
Humans have an overwhelming advantage in numbers. The total population of Noldo Elves is only over 10,000, and they are always a minority group. Their territory is limited to Noldo Forest. If New Kingdom of Pendor can unify the continent, Noldo Elves can only live in a corner.
In addition, Li Ang's wife is not only Wendy, and Lord Aldarian knows that Li Ang and Amy have been together for a longer time, which means that the descendants of Noldo Elves who will rule New Kingdom of Pendor in the future will probably not be Noldo Elves.
Greed is the normal state of the human heart, and Lord Aldarian is no exception. He wants Noldo Elves to get a more advantageous situation.
--What if New Kingdom of Pendor's direct power becomes weaker?
In other words, what if Li Ang can only rely more on Noldo Elves in the process of unifying the continent and cannot gain widespread trust from mankind?
Lord Aldarian actually agrees with Li Ang's abilities more than most Noldo Elves. He believes that even if he temporarily loses the support of some humans and relies more on Noldo Elves, Li Ang will still be able to unify the continent.
So in the future New Kingdom of Pendor, will the ruling class be dominated by Noldo Elves?
Since Li Ang is going to act in partnership with the Bacchus Empire, if the fake act is really done and Erudition City is captured, this will definitely cause Li Ang to lose the trust of Baxian, triggering a real all-out war between the Bacchus Empire and New Kingdom of Pendor.
Especially now, most people in the Bacchus Empire still don't know about this fake war and real cooperation plan. If they attack Erudition City at this time, Baxian will definitely think that this is Li Ang's plan to kill everyone...
As for whether the real enemy will take advantage of the opportunity to gain power, Lord Aldarian doesn't care - his troops have sorted out the interior of the forest a few days ago, and there are indeed no enemies in the forest.
Since Snake Worship Cult or other enemies have not entered the forest, they are still within the territory of the Bacchus Empire.
In Lord Aldarian's view, as long as the enemy can be prevented from entering the forest and the territory of the Bacchus Empire is turned into a scorched earth, the people of Snake Worship Cult will naturally be involved in the war. Anyway, both Baxian and Li Ang will deal with Snake Worship Cult, and the enemy can still be solved.
This is indeed the case, but many people will die this way.
But Li Ang and Marius would consider killing as few people as possible. Lord Aldarian wishes that humans would die more...
If it were before, Lord Aldarian would not think so, because the safety of the ethnic group must be given priority.
But now, Noldo Elvess have obtained all the castles outside Noldo Forest, and Bacchus Empire's army has been defeated. Noldo Elvess' safety is actually guaranteed.
However, this will inevitably put Li Ang into a dangerous situation.
But Lord Aldarian doesn't care... Even if Li Ang cannot complete the great cause of unifying the continent, or even be defeated and die, it doesn't matter - if Li Ang's forces and Bacchus Empire continue to fight, then Noldo Elves can sit on the mountain and watch the fight, and look for opportunities to get greater benefits after the two human countries are defeated.
The motivations for many things come from this kind of thinking. They are not purely evil thoughts and selfish desires. In a certain sense, they are indeed for the benefit of the entire ethnic group.
When you get to Long and look at Shu, the lack of people's hearts is not only reflected in personal selfish desires.
"If Lord Aldarian does this, it will definitely bring disastrous consequences... Teacher Vendathir, we must stop this idiot!"
Wendy said anxiously.
"But how do we stop him now?"
Vendathir doesn't know what to do. As far as the Noldor clan is concerned, Lord Aldarian has not made any mistakes, and he has not yet started to march towards Erudition City.
"It would be great if Li Ang were here, he must have a way..."
Wendy sighed, thought for a while, and turned to look at Vendathir: "Now I can only rely on you, teacher, you may have to make some sacrifices..."
"What do you mean? You don't want me to kill him secretly, do you? His troops will riot!"
Vendathir blurted out, it seems that she had thought about killing Lord Aldarian secretly...
"No, no, no, I plan to ask you to find Isildur... Isildur has just been sealed as Lord Wolwen. You might as well try to tell Lord Aldarian that you will not go south to fight. You decided to help Isildur take care of Wolwen..."
Wendy said while tilting his head, looking at Vendathir: "I plan to give you the brocade robe I wore at the wedding..."
"What do you mean? Me? Taking care of Wolwen? I am the tribune of White Deer Fortress..."
Vendathir did not understand Wendy's intention.
"In other words, you have to show that you have that kind of interest in Isildur... I will let Isildur cooperate with you."
Wendy I have to make it clearer.
"Ah?! No, no, no... this won't work! And Isildur has a wife!"
Vendathir shook his head like a rattle.
"Aha... Li Ang just issued a decree. New Kingdom of Pendor allows everyone to have three spouses, as long as the previous spouse allows it..."
Wendy laughed, "Isildur For such an outstanding person as His Highness, it is normal for him to have more than one wife... Moreover, in the entire Noldor clan, he is the only one worthy of you!"
"No no no..."
Vendathir's face was full of panic. "No..."
"If Isildur doesn't work, then there is only Risadiran..."
Wendy spread his hands. "But, are you willing to marry your own student?"
"I'm not saying Isildur can't do it, I'm saying I don't plan to get married!"
Vendathir was going crazy. "Wendy, what are your intentions?"
"Oh, I plan to let Lord Aldarian put his thoughts on you, for example, go to Wolvun Fortress to attend a 'family banquet' or something. Anyway, he also plans to go to Wolwen and Isildur to meet up, right?"
Wendy's big eyes revealed a hint of cunning.
"I'm afraid he will duel with Isildur..."
Vendathir sighed, now she knew what Wendy meant.
She also knows Lord Aldarian, that guy also has a bad temper and will probably bring up a duel.
In fact, Risadiran had a private duel with Isildur's nephew for the girl he loved, but the ending was a tragedy. Risadiran won, but Noldo maidens had no intention of dating a criminal who killed his tribe...
"I just want to force him to start a duel... Don't worry, His Highness Isildur has always abided by the law. He will definitely not fight in private. Besides, you can stop them..."
Wendy took Vendathir's arm and muttered with a smile, "My teacher is such a beautiful lady and a master swordsman. It is only right that she is pursued by two great lords in a duel..."
Vendathir sighed again, "I told you not to read knight novels... I really don't know what His Majesty Li Ang taught you..."
Two days later, Wolvun Fortress.
An impromptu 'family banquet' is being held.
There was only one table set up for this informal banquet. After all, it was not a public banquet, so there were only five people participating.
The male lead Isildur, the female lead Vendathir, the second male lead Lord Aldarian, the director Wendilf, and the supporting actor Risadiran who came to deliver the order just in time to make a living.
At the dinner, Isildur expressed his intention to formally pursue Vendathir, and Vendathir also showed an attitude of wanting to refuse but welcoming...
Then, Isildur said that thanks to His Majesty Li Ang's new decree, he could reveal his feelings at this time, but he had not yet obtained the consent of his wife at home. He hoped that everyone here would give him some help...
Lord Aldarian exploded on the spot - damn, everyone in the entire Noldor clan knew that he liked Vendathir, but they didn't expect that this bastard Isildur actually planned to sneak away?!
To seize love with a sword... how can that be done?
Duel! This must be a duel!
