Even in the Northland where resources are scarce, the Tassel Elf Kingdom is still a rare and good place.
The artificially repaired cliffs and magic crystal walls have become artificial barriers for the capital city of Santander. The endless cold-resistant ancient pines have become the best windbreaks. The spread of ancient fairy springs and magical spring creeks has given this land
Warmth and vitality give this place a rare green vitality in the north.
While the humans in the north were worried about the hungry winter beasts, the natural priests and hunters of the elves successfully tamed them into obedient domestic animals.
At that time, the fruit trees under the control of the ancient elves were ripe three times a year. If all kinds of off-season sweet fruits were not exported in time to exchange for mineral resources, they would just watch rotten.
The centipede insect is dead but not stiff. The elven kingdoms that have inherited the legacy of the great elven empire do have the background to despise human upstarts. If a species of longevity with a hundred years as a blink has time and technology, how can it not transform the environment in which it lives?
The wild elves living in tree houses in knight novels are obviously the result of artistic processing.
While the main army of Liusu was galloping in the snow in the north, their land was as peaceful as before. Young unicorns and Pegasus were chasing and playing in the forest, and the elves and civilians in the city were still there.
They had time to organize the winter ceremony. As for the war on the front line? They did not think that the powerful elven four-nation coalition could be defeated at the hands of ordinary humans, let alone the all-out efforts of the elites of the four nations.
This is indeed the case. The number of hundreds of thousands of elven troops is not that large. But because the average combat power is extremely high, any elite unit can serve as the royal guard of various countries. It is also the same on the entire continent.
A strong soldier should never be underestimated.
This is the heritage of the elves. Even in modern times, the only weakness of the elven kingdom, which has inherited the ancient magic art, is still quantity. It takes two hundred years for an elf to grow from birth to adulthood, and if this cycle is replaced by humans who marry at an early age,
Not to mention ten generations, six or seven generations is definitely achievable.
What is fought for in war is comprehensive national strength, and population and human resources are definitely the most important ones. It is impossible not to kill people. Even the most powerful magician may be accidentally killed by stray arrows on the battlefield and friendly forces.
It may take two to three hundred years to make up for the losses in a war.
It's the elves' fault that they absolutely cannot afford to fight a war of attrition.
This time, if the losses of the main army are too great, the elves will enter a long period of self-cultivation and rest. It can be said that in order to win this gamble, the elves of the North have risked everything.
When the main force was exhausted, the major legions had already left the country. The previous border patrol tasks were handed over to the second-line corps, or adventure team, organized by the rangers themselves.
A wild elf ranger, two or three centaur archers, and one or two elf warriors are a standard elf patrol team. If it is a front-line team, there may be one or two more elf ancient trees, nature priests and
Pegasus Knight's strength is completely different.
Even among the elves, they do not live in comfortable cities. The druids who like to build nests in the woods are also a minority.
Anywhere, as long as there are intelligent creatures, trees are always one of the important resources. Not counting their basic functions as materials for buildings and furniture, those exquisite elven works of art also require rare wood as raw materials, and there are rare and precious forests in the North.
In this region, Elf's high-quality timber is a major export earner.
But if the druids, who have the highest vocation to protect the forest, can be reasonable, they will not be regarded as terrorists by various countries. Druids are very stubborn, and elves are also very stubborn. The elf druids who combine the two are super stubborn.
Yes, their extreme nature protection organization is the source and mentor of other green terrorist organizations, and its various operational secrets are regarded as classic models.
The name of the "Little Bear Alliance that No Logging Is Allowed" sounds cute, but it has a history of tens of thousands of years. They have always been a druid terrorist organization that has caused headaches for the elven countries. They have the secret secret method of transforming giant bears and taming animals.
Secret method, maybe a certain grizzly bear in the forest is their spy. Maybe when you are humming a song and chopping wood happily, the giant bear that suddenly stands up behind you is already planning to slap you.
The result is that the elves are the birthplace of druids and the ethnic group with the largest number of druids, but most druids still have a superficial profession that is acceptable to the world.
But at this time, in the makeshift campsite, the wild elf ranger Tasia who hummed a tune to invite dinner was a hidden druid master. She was also a member of the "Little Bear Alliance".
However, recently she has not fulfilled her bounden duty of "protecting nature".
The feed costs for the pets Tasia has tamed are not a small sum. Before fulfilling her vocation, she is working hard to make money to support her family.
It is a very cost-effective business to accept the employment of the kingdom to perform some non-dangerous military tasks and fill the gap in the kingdom's military strength. In this extraordinary period, the wealthy elven kingdom will not be stingy. It employs twice as many people as during the war.
Jin attracted countless mercenaries.
"Ha, I really made a lot of money this time. I can earn so much just by patrolling the border. I hope the war will continue for a longer time. I also hope that those cowards in the city will continue to increase their commissions. If the war escalates, don't say three
It’s possible to get twice the salary, ten times the salary.”
What Tasia said did not sound like an elf at all, but the centaur companions in her team were already familiar with her character. On the contrary, compared to the nostrils of the elf nobles in the city, her status in the elf kingdom was generally not high.
The centaur prefers Tasia's straightforwardness and approachability.
"Don't say such things in the city, it will make those elf uncles unhappy." Centaur Bol said with a smile. After calculating the recent surge in salary, he has made a lot of money this time, so he is naturally in a good mood.
"In previous years, the legion's duty was not so easy. They had to search for the slave-catching teams all over the mountains and fields. That was not an easy job, and if they really encountered it. If they encountered the sword masters sent by every major human country,
Great Wizard, I don’t know who caught whom. There are quite a few patrols who have disappeared because of this in the past years.”
Tasia smiled even more happily.
"Yes, those slave-catching teams really can't cause trouble for me now. The trouble they caused themselves is quite big... What a pity, Princess Suana. Hey, it's such a pity. Good people don't get rewarded.
ah."
Thinking of that gentle and gentle figure, even Tasia, who was always unhappy with the high-ranking elf, was filled with dissatisfaction.
"...About that matter. I heard a rumor, well, it's just a rumor."
The silent elf warrior Grover suddenly said something, but his words naturally attracted the attention of his teammates.
After hesitating for a moment, Grover finally continued.
"Rumors say that there are many doubts about Princess Suana's kidnapping this time. The Elf Corps that was supposed to be on duty were suddenly pulled out for training, the Ranger Troops suddenly started closed training, and even the Royal Guard Moon Blades were temporarily deployed to the border to handle disputes. Only then did they let
That not-so-strong slave trader caught Her Highness the Princess..."
Hearing this, the members of the team remained eerily silent. It was not that they had not heard of this rumor. In recent weeks, this taboo topic was being discussed in every tavern and market.
The follow-up of the rumor is also obvious. It is inevitable that the death of Princess Suana is a conspiracy between the Elf King and the Senate. Rather than saying that Princess Suana died at the hands of humans, it is better to be treated as a war sacrifice by the cold-blooded Elf King.
"If there is no evidence, it is better to say less. It will cause endless trouble."
Tasia, who had been careless just now, instead advised Grover to proceed with caution, but as soon as she finished speaking, the usually kind elf warrior suddenly sneered.
"No evidence? Isn't it evidence that the two legendary strongmen who were the royal guards were suddenly transferred away? The 'Hand of Kashgar' Anrod, who has a very good relationship with Her Royal Highness, directly caused a fuss in the military department. It is said that he was very angry.
It directly smashed the signboard of the military department."
It was obvious that the Grover in front of them was the peace faction who supported Princess Suana. After their initial anger, they began to calmly think about the cause of the princess's death and discovered the doubts.
"According to human terms, the planners of political conspiracies are often the beneficiaries after a series of events. In this incident, all human countries obviously did not benefit. The only one who benefited was the main war faction, and that person was also cruel.
, Her Royal Highness Su Anna is his daughter..."
Okay, what I said is straightforward enough, but I just pointed at the Elf King and cursed him.
Immediately, the temperature in the camp suddenly dropped several degrees, and everyone fell silent. After all, it is definitely not a good thing for ordinary people to participate in such things. Spies and secret sentries are not the exclusive rights of humans. If you are thrown into prison for talking too much,
It's really unlucky, and there's nothing to say about the pain.
Tasia, who is a druid, has no interest in such things. Although she feels pity for the princess, she has no intention of risking her life for her.
So, she tried her best to talk about him.
"Ah, there's a dark elf there!"
Okay, dark elves appear in the heart of the Elf Kingdom? This is obviously nonsense, but it actually made Grover amused.
He smiled and shook his head.
"If you don't want to say it, forget it, the darkness comes from here and there..."
Halfway through his words, he rolled his eyes and fell down. The dark green dagger behind his back showed the reason for his fall.
"...Although I don't know how you discovered me, but now that I have been discovered, I will definitely not let you go back."
A figure wearing jet-black leather armor stepped out of Grover's shadow, and the black skin color was enough to speak for itself.
"There really are dark elves. Maybe I can consider changing my profession to a prophecy mage."
At this time, Tasia still had time to sigh about her own crow's mouth. The dark elf scout in front of her was probably a high-ranking soldier, and the poison the dagger touched was just an ordinary paralyzing poison. It might be enough to deal with the ordinary patrol team, but even if she didn't hide it,
The strength of the legendary druid has risen. The scout in front of him is just the remnants of a combat power of five.
"Aha, eat my rolling pin!"
And the fact is that it developed as expected. The originally ambitious dark elf was knocked down by Tasia's fierce stick when he met him. He probably couldn't have imagined why an elf archer with a long bow would behave like this.
Superb stick skills, what on earth is going on with the paralyzing lightning strike in the stick?
"Young man, you still dare to yell at me. Young men, hurry up and lead someone away. I think something is wrong. Maybe he has accomplices..."
You can save the rest. The many ghosts coming out of the woods have already explained everything. Tasia once again confirmed her prophecy talent.
"... Tasia, it's better to say less."
At this time, it was naturally time to run away. Considering that in the past adventures, this spirit also said all kinds of things (only bad things), the centaur Bol who ran in front was also full of resentment.
But his words were not answered. When he turned around, he saw that Tasia had disappeared without a trace. The only thing left there was the grizzly bear who had been napping.
As for his teammates, except for Tasia who suddenly disappeared, all of them had fallen.
"Law: faint!"
After hearing a voice, a gray-black light flashed, and he fell to the ground unconscious.
At this time, a dark elf priest riding a black armored scorpion suddenly walked out, and behind her were dozens of panicked dark elf scouts.
"Stupid males. You can't even deal with such a weak sacrifice. If you miss the Spider Queen's big event this time, I will cut you into pieces and feed them alive to poisonous silk spiders!"
What was in front of her was the angry rebuke of the dark elf priest, and what was heard further away was the sound of banging. Tasia, who had more adventure experience than the apparent ranger, knew that this was the sound of a large-scale march of lizard cavalry, and
Only the most powerful families can afford to raise expensive lizard cavalry. There is only one possibility for using lizard cavalry in an organized manner.
"High-ranking Priest Rose and the Gray Lizard Cavalry Legion? Damn it, this is not a hunting team looking for sacrifices at all. This is an entire Dark Elf Legion. At this time, Rose is sending an army to attack the Elf Kingdom. Is Rose crazy?"
Now was obviously not the time to sigh. When Tasia silently imitated the grizzly bear's habits and planned to leave, the female priest saw her.
"Hmph, I haven't been imitating animals for a year or two. I am a professional."
So, she lay down directly and sniffed the fallen elf, pretending to be a grizzly bear looking for food.
But suddenly, she noticed that the dark light was gathering on the priest's nine-headed whip, and she seemed to have discovered something, so she became a little anxious.
"I'm sorry, eldest sister, I will make it up to you in the future."
She gritted her teeth, bit into her fallen comrade, and chewed with her eyes closed.
"Hmph, it completely simulates my Xiaohui's eating form. Look at my amazing acting skills... It's time to go."
But when he opened his eyes, he found that the dark elves not only didn't leave, but also didn't stop paying attention to him. On the contrary, they stared at him in shock.
"Pfft, haha, there are bears eating grass! This druid is so funny."
The female priest was rolling on the back of the armored scorpion with laughter. Only then did Tasia realize that the taste in her mouth was not right. Then she glanced over and found that Grover had woken up and was watching in shock.
he.
It turned out that at this critical moment, Grover got rid of the effect of the paralyzing poison and avoided the bloody mouth. Tasia, who had her eyes closed, bit off a piece of grass in one bite and began to swallow it.
Obviously, she was trying hard to block her sense of taste and couldn't taste the taste in her mouth. As a result, she took two mouthfuls of grass.
"Hmph, I just like bears that eat grass. Why, is there a rule that bears can't eat grass? It would be amazing to eat my bear paws!"
Well, Tasia, who always misses the mark at critical moments, once again demonstrated with her actions what it means to be stubborn and angry.
PS: Well, the unusual creature with the big eyes was recorded in Sanjiang, and now it ranks second... It makes me sad to think that Sanjiang was fourth and Papasang was fifth. All the unnecessary nonsense and reasons.
I won’t say much more, but I still hope that this good-looking book will get the results it deserves. Please support me.
