Four hundred and ninetieth chapters elves' friendship
After the war, when the results were counted, it was found that the fallen black giant left behind fifteen thousand corpses, half of which died on the city wall, and half of which died under the arrows of the elves. The dark elves were even worse, leaving behind fifty thousand warriors, most of whom were killed.
Killed by an elf's arrow.
As for the battle losses, a total of fifteen elves died, and only over a hundred were injured. This loss is almost negligible. The highland warriors have been standing against the wall of blood, facing the attack of the dark army, and nearly a thousand people have been killed.
, each one is a young and awesome guy, and they have gained the respect of the elves.
In the Dawn Fortress, the bodies of the soldiers were collected, carefully cleaned, put on formal clothes, covered with flowers, and neatly placed on the pile of firewood soaked in kerosene, ready for cremation.
Marshal Salas stood on the high platform and sincerely blessed.
"They are all heroes. Their lives are not over. They have returned to the arms of the Creator to enjoy the glory of victory. The elves will always remember this day and the great friendship of the Highlanders. May the friendship between our two races be immortal!"
After he finished speaking, the elves began to sing a low dirge. In the melodious and sad melody, Sun Ran, who was wearing a black shirt, personally held a torch and lit the fire bed.
The highland soldiers watched in silence as their former comrades were engulfed in flames, with hatred, pride and pride on their faces.
This victory was created by the human race themselves. The dark army that once defeated the elves was defeated by them in turn. The eyes of the highland warriors followed their king, their bodies stood straight and their heads held high.
.
After this battle, in front of the elves, their former masters, the human race, which was once a slave race, was completely proud and proud.
The third day after the sad funeral was the joyful banquet of victory.
During the dinner, Marshal Salas asked Sun Ran with concern: "Your Majesty, how is your health?"
Previously, when he fought with Gelong with all his strength, it seemed that Sun Ran had all the chances of winning and defeated the opponent in the end. However, he continued to activate his potential and continued to explode. Sun Ran still left a lot of hidden injuries on his body. Soon after Gelong retreated, Sun Ran almost died.
Can't stand.
Fortunately, Sivana arrived in time and took him to rest, preventing him from showing his weak side in front of his own warriors.
Sun Ran took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "I was just a little exhausted before. After a few days of rest, it's no longer a serious problem. However, I can't lead my soldiers to pursue the Dark Army for the time being."
Originally, when the Dark Army retreated, he should immediately leave the city to pursue the enemy in order to maximize the victory. But Sun Ran did not do so, firstly due to physical reasons, and secondly, because his soldiers were still new recruits and lacked combat experience. It would be easy to chase them out rashly.
Counterattack by the Dark Army.
Marshal Salas said hurriedly: "It doesn't matter. This victory has greatly damaged the strength of the Dark Army. It is estimated that without ten years of rest, it is impossible for them to come back again."
Sun Ran nodded: "That's good."
What he wants is this buffer time. The current Highland Kingdom's foundation is still insufficient. The 150,000 troops are already the limit. And they cannot withstand any failure. In fact, the entire kingdom relies too heavily on him, just like a man who has not yet
A weaned child is still very fragile and is in danger of dying at any time.
Sun Ran's goal is to establish an independent kingdom with strong vitality and a mature system. This cannot be done in a hurry and requires time.
In ten years, the rapidly developing Highland Kingdom could accumulate more strength and lay a deeper foundation.
The magician Jaeger on the side took the initiative to show his kindness: "Your Majesty, I heard that there are many people in the Highland Kingdom who are very studious and eager for the secrets of magic. The war was urgent before, and we had no spare power, so we only had Sivana to teach us. Now the situation has improved, and we elves
More magic instructors can be dispatched."
This is exactly what Sun Ran needs. He smiled and said: "You are right. We are very thirsty for magic, but we suffer from the lack of guidance from famous teachers. We are very grateful that you can do this. I promise that the elf magicians will be in our highland kingdom."
Lieutenant General receives the best treatment!"
"Haha, okay." Everyone laughed, and the matter was settled.
The victory of this battle greatly promoted the friendship between the two races, and the relationship between the Highlanders and the Elves entered a honeymoon period.
After the banquet, Sun Ran, who was dizzy after drinking, was helped into the castle by the soldiers to rest. He was indeed a little tired. After lying on the bed, he let his body sleep. The immortal soul was still awake, and his sensing tentacles quietly poked out.
body and began to explore the situation in the world of gods.
First, we looked to the south of the Highland Kingdom. All the way south, there were dense forests. After going south for 1,500 kilometers, a large river nearly five kilometers wide appeared. Looking across the river, there were high mountains behind the river.
Between the mountains, you can see buildings from time to time, and many stubby and strong human races appear. Sun Ran knows that these are mountain dwarves, a demigod species belonging to the world of Zeus and Olympus.
They are not huge in size, but they are very strong. Their strength can compete with giants, and they are very good at forging technology. Many magical weapons are made by dwarves.
Looking further ahead, Sun Ran saw a series of dwarf cities hidden inside the mountain peaks. In each city, there were also a large number of human slaves.
Obviously, this mountain range is the territory of the dwarves, and they have established a kingdom with highly developed civilization.
The Highland Kingdom is expanding to the south and will encounter them soon.
Sun Ran's perspective goes further west, more than two thousand kilometers west, and the forest slowly turns into a grassland. On the grassland, there are still a large number of centaurs. These are grassland centaurs. Their civilization is not as developed as the dwarves in the mountains and rivers, and they are still nomadic.
state, but they are more savage, stronger, and their archery skills are comparable to those of elves.
They are the overlords of the grassland.
Sadly, there are also many human slaves in the centaur camp.
Finally, looking to the east, extending more than 700 kilometers, there is an elf city, and the east is the territory of the elf.
Needless to say, there are countless human slaves in the city.
It is a good thing that the human race has many slaves. As long as the influence of the Highland Kingdom continues to expand, slaves will continue to be attracted to it.
But as time goes by, the elves will definitely have objections, because the elves have long been out of production, and most of their food comes from the labor of slaves.
It can be said that the Elf Empire was built on the blood and sweat of human slaves. Slaves are their foundation.
Sun Ran did not mention the exchange of slaves to the elf today because he knew that even if he did, the elf would not agree and would instead destroy the previous cooperation.
"Let the slaves come and seek refuge on their own. Before encountering the dwarves and centaurs, there is still a lot of land for the Highland Kingdom to cultivate."
Sun Ran carefully considered that the elves in the east still need to devote their efforts to teach magic knowledge and cooperate with them to fight against the dark army, so it is impossible to expand in the east.
To the west, you will encounter savage centaurs. If you cut down the forest, this area will become a flat plain. It is obviously unwise to fight those centaurs who are good at running on the plain.
Moreover, without the barrier of the forest, the centaurs can even attack all the way to Highland City, so the barrier of the forest cannot be lost.
In the end, the best expansion plan for the Highland Kingdom is to go south. There are dwarves in the south, but there is also a large river as a natural barrier. It is dangerous to defend and it is relatively safe.
After making the decision, Sun Ran had nothing to do, so he quietly contacted Zhao Shan: "Miss Zhao, how is the situation on the earth?"
Zhao Shan happened to be free and replied: "Western saints have always been restless. I am now studying the world of gods to carry out the project of deification, selecting talents, and forming a new heaven."
"Are the saints going to let you do this?" Sun Ran asked.
"Hey, Sanqing has been silent. Nuwa has no objection. The Second Sage of the West seems to know my background and has not acted rashly. They have acquiesced in my plan, but they are secretly making small moves to keep filling people into my heaven. Among them are
The guy who belongs to Tongtian Cult Leader is the most stuffed!"
"Is that a problem?"
"No problem. It's too late for me to be happy. Hehe, I will use a big stick and carrots for the people he pushes over. The big stick is your reputation, Daozu, and the carrots are a lot of credits. Basically, there is no return.
Now, Tongtian is not too crowded." Zhao Shan was very proud.
Sun Ran could almost imagine her expression and couldn't help but smile: "Then work hard. The worlds of the gods are also merging. I will try to delay them as much as possible. You try to finish it before them."
"As you command, teacher." Zhao Shan laughed, she was having a great time.
Sun Ran withdrew, quietly returned to his body, and began to repair some hidden injuries in his body.
While he was busy, he suddenly felt a faint fluctuation of magic power, and then saw a transparent figure emerging from the wall. The figure slowly became solid, it was Sivana!
