On this day, the sun was shining brightly and the sea breeze was gentle.
'Europe~Europe~' Seagulls are flying around the port, scrambling for the food discarded by the guests in the tavern and hotel, and several children are running around and playing on the flat and open harbor square. On the pier, the workers were chanting and busy loading and unloading the ship. Farther afield, huge numbers of houses are being built.
Very ordinary day.
At noon, an ordinary-looking elven merchant ship appeared on the sea level in the distance, slowly heading towards Field Harbor.
Such elven merchant ships appear every day, there is nothing unusual, and it does not attract people's attention, but this merchant ship is actually different.
The appearance of the merchant ship looks very low-key, and everything looks normal on the deck, but in fact, its cabin below the deck is very spacious. Only a small part of the cabin is loaded with cargo, and most of the space is vacant for people. There is also a hall reserved.
It was lunch time at this time, and eight high elves sat on the long table in the hall, among them, the three legendary powerhouses Bryant, Sanya, and Milos stood out.
The other five high elves are not simple. One of them is a young man whose appearance is 70% similar to that of the high elf princess Mirda, and is also about the same age. It is the prince Ferrin who was once saved by Link. It is the top talent who is best at negotiating diplomacy on Dawn Island.
When Field Harbor appeared, the voice of the elf sailor on the deck came down to the cabin: "Your Highness, Field is ahead."
Hearing this voice, Bryant turned his head to Sanya and Milos and said, "The time has come, you all go get ready."
"Yes, Prophet." The two young juniors wiped their mouths with cloth towels, stood up, and with a movement of their bodies, they turned into a light green mist and disappeared into the cabin.
This trip, the merchant ship is the surface, where the negotiators are. Thousands of meters behind the merchant ship, there are still 6 Storm Silver Sparrows hidden. If things go wrong, the magic blow of the Storm Silver Sparrow will immediately come to Field Harbor. Come to a lose-lose situation.
Of course, this is just in case, as long as Field doesn't go crazy and tear himself apart with them, they won't do it first.
There are many reasons, mainly two.
One is that now that the Legion of Destruction has gathered in the northern border, Dawn Island needs the human race to serve as their first line of defense against the Legion of Destruction in the north.
The second is that Field now has a powerful army of 30,000 people, and there is also a legendary strong man sitting in it. This is already a force that cannot be ignored. Even if they happen to do it, they must be prepared.
The merchant ship moved on, and Prince Ferring also finished his meal.
He had been to Hot Springs before, and at that time, Link had saved him, and he was very grateful for it at the time, even now, he still has a good impression of Link.
It's a pity that personal likes and dislikes mean nothing in the face of racial events.
"Prophet, do you think he will hand over someone?" Ferlin asked. To be honest, he didn't think the other party would. His impression of Link still stays in the magic fair. At that time, he faced three top masters alone and remained calm, beating two opponents to death and one escape.
How could such a strong person give in so easily
Bryant couldn't say well about this, he was silent for a while, and said: "If Field's strength is as reported by the intelligence, Link should have handed over... He is a rational person, and the harbor is Field's lifeline. where."
The current Feilin is no longer the innocent boy he used to be, he sighed: "I hope so."
After being silent for a while, he asked again: "What will happen to Evelina, is she really executed?"
Although Evelina is a half-elf, she has lived in the Elf King's Court Andurol since she was a child. Ferlin has known her since she can remember. Among all the princesses, Evelina has the most lively and peaceful personality. He liked to follow her when she was a child. The sister wandered around behind.
They have done many pranks together, such as secretly throwing the hive of the white jade bee into the room of the guard who was taking a nap. For example, secretly pouring unicorn urine into wine barrels in the wine cellar. As a result, at the banquet the next day, many people felt that the taste was wrong, but out of etiquette, they still drank up the wine... and so on, whenever Filin thinks back, Will smile.
But now that they have grown up, Evelina possesses a force powerful enough to threaten the safety of Dawn Island, and she has also sentenced Dawn Island. As a prince, he has received orders from his mother to bring back this rebellious .
'Sister Eve, why are you doing this? 'Filin sighed inwardly.
In fact, he knew the answer, but he couldn't say it, and he couldn't change it.
The other half, Bryant, was also in a mixed mood. Evelina was underestimated because of her status as a half-elf. He, a former human magician, actually had a difficult life. He felt the contempt most. The granddaughter even paid the price with her life for this.
After a long silence, Bryant said, "Not necessarily, after bringing her back, the elders will decide her fate."
This means that Evelina must die, because the Council of Elders has made a resolution before, and all the elders agree that as long as Evelina makes any resistance, it will be a death penalty, and Evelina has already resisted. Even nearly killed Erron.
Again there was silence.
After a while, Felin asked again: "Will there be a war between us and Field?"
This time, Bryant answered quickly and his tone was very affirmative. He nodded seriously: "Yes."
"Why?"
Bryant thought for a while and used a metaphor: "If Ferroman is a big mountain, then we high elves are the tigers in the mountain. Before Feld, we monopolized the prey in the mountain, and the whole world belonged to us. Therefore, we lived They lived a peaceful and prosperous life, and now, another tiger appeared in the mountains. The two tigers will compete for food in the mountains, and in the end, neither of them will have enough to eat."
Fei Lin defended: "But we have less than three million people on Chenxi Island, and the supplies we get every year are piled up in warehouses, and a lot of food is rotten. The resources that the entire world can provide greatly exceed our needs."
Bryant couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "We are enough, but it is far from enough for the human race. Behind Field is the entire human race. This tiger has a particularly big appetite. He will continue to grow, and when he finally grows into At that time, the whole world is not enough for them to squander, and at the same time, no one is his opponent, and at that time, the fate of our family will be very miserable."
The human race occupies the essence of the Ferroman world, with a population of more than 300 million, hundreds of times that of the high elves. If it develops, it will not only be a disaster for the high elves, but a disaster for all alien races in the entire Ferroman plane.
It's not that the high elves don't know the benefits of peaceful coexistence, but because they can't bear the consequences of the rise of the human race, they have been trying to maintain the balance of power among the kingdoms on the mainland.
Hearing this, Prince Feilin understood.
He turned his head and looked at the porthole of the merchant ship. Outside the window, there was a majestic harbor made of pure white stones. Hundreds of merchant ships were moored in the port. At a glance, the masts of the ships were like forests, and the momentum was extremely majestic. In the distance, there are magnificent lighthouses, neat houses, and bustling people on the street. And farther afield, a large number of houses are being built.
The entire port showed a kind of vitality that Dawn Island would never have.
This port is really too big, at least three times larger than Monoson, the largest seaport on Dawn Isle, and this is the result of just two years of development.
At this moment, Ferlin really felt the threat of the human race.
"Prophet, if we go to war, will we win?" Ferlin asked again.
Bryant was also looking at the harbor. He pondered for a while and said, "It's hard to say. The only thing that is certain is that our current strength is stronger than Field, and our strategic position is much better than Field... well, let's not discuss it." That's all, the ship is about to enter the port, and when you see Lord Field later, you must remember no matter what happens, you must not be timid, and I will always be by your side."
"I understand." Prince Feilin nodded, collected himself, stood up, and walked towards the deck, with Bryant following him, and then several diplomats who were in charge of negotiating details.
After the ship entered the port, a high elf submitted a visit document to the Harbor Administration Office. The other party saw that the high elf prince was coming, and without further ado, sent a team of luxurious carriages to the scorched earth city.
Prince Ferring and Bryant were in the same carriage. Looking at the flat and spacious avenue outside the window, Prince Ferring said in shock, "He's already prepared."
Otherwise, it would be impossible to react so quickly.
Bryant was not surprised: "Relax, don't think too much, this is his territory, he knew we were coming in advance, it's normal."
Felin nodded, trying to calm himself down.
…
When the High Elf convoy drove towards Scorched Earth City, Link, Wayans and others began to debug the magic house for the last time.
There are thirteen magic houses, which were built in a hurry. They are distributed in different directions in Scorched Earth Ridge. There are a large group of magicians in each house. Shield their aura of power when supplying energy, and only let the aura of legendary power radiate out.
As long as the distance is a little far, it feels exactly the same as there is a legendary strong man sitting in the room.
Ten minutes later, Link began to get the test results.
"Everything is normal in Magic House No. 1."
"Everything is normal in Magic House No. 2."
"No. 3 has a leak of ordinary sunlight power, shut down and operate."
"Number four..."
After a report, two of the 13 magic houses were flawed and ended their operation, and the other 11 could be completely faked.
"13 legendary powerhouses (11 magic houses plus Link and Evelina), let's see if we don't scare those high elves down this time, haha." Wayans laughed.
According to Evelina, the High Elves currently have 5 legendary powerhouses, 4 of which have just been promoted. Reached 13, more than double the number of high elves!
The legendary powerhouse is not a Chinese cabbage, but a strategic level power, just doubling that much is enough to scare the opponent out of the urine.
