Eighty percent of the more than a thousand elves migrating teams, including women and children, were able to fight, which shows the terrifying war mobilization potential of the elves. It's a pity that their ability to reproduce is too poor. Otherwise, even after many wars during the great elf civilization, humans would not be able to replace the elves and become the new rulers of Faerun.
The core layer of the migration team is the high-level of the two migration tribes, where most of the elf mages, priests and druids are concentrated. There are also some big horned deer caravans with a small amount of backup weapons and arrows, and the rest are food reserves.
The horses of the Moon Elf tribe are too precious, but there are countless big horned deer in the forest. This kind of animal has a docile temperament and its foot strength is not inferior to that of a horse. Apart from being unsuitable for a mount, it has no problem pulling a cart and carrying loads. As for the caravan, it is even simpler. The elves have no shortage of craftsmanship. Each of them can build a tree house from scratch, and of course a small caravan is no problem.
Qin Lun originally consciously wanted to join the patrolling ranger team on the periphery. Although he can be regarded as a descendant of the royal family who has inspired the inheritance and can attend the elders' meeting, he is a hunter after all, not a weak mage or priest, so there is no reason to be in the team layers are protected.
However, Great Elder Adeline took the initiative to keep him. The outer patrol team would not have more than one of him, and one less of him would be quite a lot. It would be more effective to stay by the side of the Great Elder.
Why are the elders of the Moon Elf tribe willing to recognize his status as a descendant of the royal family? Is it really just because of blood and inheritance? Of course not, Qin Lun's greatest contribution to the relocation team was not his status as a descendant of the royal family, but his role as a guide.
The Jondal elves haven't stepped out of the forest for a long time due to their bad relationship with the Jondath Kingdom. Even an experienced elf archmage like Elder Adeline is a little confused about the human world now, and he doesn't know how far the human beings outside the forest have developed.
The moon elves allowed the sun elf envoys to follow them, not only to leave a way out for the tribe, but also to use the human mercenaries of the sun elf envoys. Of course, compared to the envoys of the Sun Elf, the current Qin Lun is more trustworthy, after all, he is the descendant of the Moon Elf's own royal family.
"Filar, the Great Elder called us over." Elistin, who was chatting with Qin Lun, stretched out his hand to catch a small kingfisher flying from behind, listened carefully for a while, then turned his head and said.
In fact, Qin Lun could vaguely understand the beautiful song of this little kingfisher without her saying much. After Fairy Story merged with Moonlight's recruitment ability, he already has the ability to communicate with animals. It's just that he didn't live in the forest for a long time after all, so he couldn't comprehend the beast language accurately and quickly like Elisine.
After walking through the camp for a while, Qin Lun and Elisine came to a big tent and bent down into the tent. This tent is much larger than the surrounding tents, and it has a lot of space inside. It is a place for the decision-makers of the relocation team to discuss matters.
At this time, several luminous crystal lamps were arranged around the tent, a huge animal skin was spread in the center, and several people were sitting around. On the main seat was Elder Adeline, who was dressed plainly and held a dove-headed staff. On her left sat an old elf mage with white beard and hair. This was another big moon elf tribe in the migration team, the high priest of Menon of the Moon Shadow Tribe.
Under Menon was a blond elf with sword eyebrows and eagle eyes. Qin Lun recognized this elf. When he first saw Kelly, he was standing in the middle of the group of lost newcomers. I thought this was one of the lost newcomers, but I didn't expect him to be Prince Mileras of the Sun Elf Mission.
Compared with the two elven princes Qin Lun had met, Mileras and Kerris belonged to the best of the younger generation of elves. It's just that compared to the sharp-edged Corus, Mileras is much more restrained. Only after paying close attention to him for a long time can he find the occasional sharp light in the eyes of the blond elf.
This is a sharp sword hidden in a sheath! Qin Lun smiled lightly, looked away from Mileras, and looked at a human woman beside the elf prince. This woman has a beauty not inferior to that of an elf, and she always squints her eyes and smiles sweetly on her face, giving people a soft and warm feeling.
From Elistin, Qin Lun has already learned that this is Robin, the head of the mercenary group hired by the envoys of the sun elves. The nature of this mercenary group is similar to the plot mercenary group possessed by the fortress team. It assumes the role of guide and guard, and is essentially a group of lost newcomers.
Qin Lun did not see Kelly present, but it was only natural when he thought about it. It doesn't matter that the female tyrannosaur is the treasure of the town group, she is neither willing nor suitable for this kind of publicity, otherwise this beautiful Robin would not be the leader of the lost newcomer group.
In addition to these few people, the elves sitting on the right are mostly elders and priests of the two-month elf tribe, and there are also high-level rangers and druids who are responsible for leading the escort team. Qin Lun also saw Nicole in the last few seats from the entrance of the tent.
The two looked at each other for a while, then looked away. If there is still a flaw in Qin Lun, then the only flaw is now his original mercenary status. Once the Lost Newcomers know that he used to be a member of the mercenary group, then his identity as an apostle will inevitably be exposed.
Qin Lun had already greeted Elistine in advance, telling her and Elder Adeline not to reveal to others that he and Nicole had been employed by King Testier. When someone asked about it, they only said that they were elven mercenaries from the Moon Elf tribe wandering outside.
Ellistine and Elder Adeline only thought that Qin Lun was afraid of being hired by the Elven Court, which would arouse the suspicion of other moon elves. In fact, Qin Lun and the others were just afraid of being exposed as apostles by the Lost Newcomers Group.
After Qin Lun and Elistine entered the tent, they saw Great Elder Adelin smiling and beckoning them to sit on her right. The status of this position is already quite high, second only to the High Priest of the Moon Shadow Tribe and the Prince of the Sun Elf who are first and second on the opposite left.
Seeing where Qin Lun and Elistine were sitting, Robin, who was attacked by the Sun Elf prince, frowned slightly, and then stretched them out again.
In fact, Qin Lun and Nicole didn't know that the two of them had already entered the sight of the lost team. The Lost Team had paid a lot of money for snatching the main storyline of the Sun Elf Mission, so they naturally didn't want to be shared by other apostle teams in the early stage of the journey.
There is no secret about Nicole's identity, and the Emma she possesses is too conspicuous. Many elves in the Court of the Devil's Cup know such a person, and the lost apostle only needs to inquire a little bit to confirm her apostle's identity.
But Qin Lun's identity is difficult to inquire about. As an inconspicuous member of the original elf caravan, ordinary elves don't know his existence at all. When entering the city, only Elistine knew about it. As for Qin Lun's identity as a descendant of another layer of the royal family, it is a sensitive topic in the Magic Cup court. Neither King Testier, Prince Corus, nor the elders of the Moon Elf tribe will take the initiative to disclose it, and the lost newcomer group has no way of knowing.
At first, Robin was skeptical about this so-called elven mercenary who was wandering outside, but now that he had a close relationship with Iristen and was sitting side by side with Elder Adeline, her doubts began to fade.
Although Broken Starry Sky can give the apostle the dead in the plot, it can't arrange a high plot status for the apostle. The higher the status of the plot characters, the greater the influence on world history. Even if such a person has just died, Xingkong has no ability to directly arrange for the apostle to possess the corpse. The position of the apostle among the characters in the plot can only depend on his own efforts in the later stage.
After the lost team entered this world, they also hoped to use the elf status of a member of the team to gain some advantages.
For example: the female apostle who used the beast king's hunting bow, her moon night elf blood was very pure, but unfortunately she couldn't use this to get close to Prince Mileras. He ate so much that Robin couldn't help but laugh.
Since the elven blood cannot gain the trust of the characters in the plot, the time for the fortress team to enter the court of the magic cup is later than lost. Robin didn't think that Qin Lun could make a great contribution to the Moon Elf tribe in such a short few days, thus gaining his current status.
The only possibility is that this elven mercenary was originally an important figure in the Moon Elf tribe, and he really just came back from his wanderings outside.
"Filar, this is already on the edge of the forest, and we will enter the golden plain tomorrow. You are more familiar with the situation outside. Where do you think humans will attack us?" After Qin Lun and Elistine sat down, Adeline The elder took out a crude map and asked for advice with a smile.
The map in Adeline's hand is her adventure map when she was young, but the archmage's adventures in her youth have been two or three hundred years ago. This map has long been changed beyond recognition, and most of the location marks on it cannot be done. allow.
When the fortress team rescued Nicole, they bought a projected map with a radius of a hundred miles near Elbad at a large price. Qin Lun helped her modify most of the map marks, which really played a guiding role.
However, the journey from Jondal to Anker Forest is close to 500 kilometers, and this map still needs to be revised in the later stage. Fortunately, the fortress team followed the royal guards of the Magic Cup Royal Court and was nearly two days ahead of them, so they were able to send Qin Lun information on road conditions at any time.
Although the distance is so far, it is impossible to communicate with each other in the team channel, but the envoys of Jondall to Anker have Prince Corris, Stark and others ordered one or two elf knights to pass on the map information, it is still possible Can do it.
In fact, when the envoys from the Magic Cup Royal Court set off, Qin Lun also saw Prince Corus sneaking a magic signal to Elistine for her to use in case of serious danger.
Although King Testir ordered the envoys not to help the moon elves relocate their troops, if Kerris turned back desperately, the royal guards could only serve as reinforcements, and they couldn't just sit and watch The elf prince died.
"If we follow the route we agreed on before, then this will be the most likely place to encounter an attack!" Hearing Adeline's question, Qin Lun's eyes flashed, and he pointed to a certain place on the map without hesitation.
