"The Sun Elf envoy suffered a lot. Prince Mileras' personal guards suffered heavy casualties, and even the prince himself was slightly injured." Elistin was slightly taken aback, although he didn't know why Qin Lun asked about the situation of the Sun Elf. , but tell the truth.
"Oh, this is really... a pity!" Qin Lun's eyes flashed, and he asked casually, "What about the mercenaries they hired, didn't they work for the prince?"
"Mercenaries? Well, it seems that two human mercenaries died, but there are only eight of them in total, so they probably didn't play any role!" Elistin said with some uncertainty.
Qin Lun smiled lightly and didn't say anything more. Elistin was with him all the time during this battle, and he only had a general understanding of the process of the attack on the Sun Elves, but he didn't have enough understanding of the power of the apostles.
However, Qin Lun was different. He knew that the Lost Newcomers should have played a vital role in protecting Mileras. Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for the Sun Elf prince, whose personal guard suffered heavy casualties, to suffer only a slight injury.
Judging from the close cooperation between the orc cavalry and the assassins, the attackers had planned it long ago, and they were very powerful behind the scenes, and they were even confident that they could master the double-edged sword of the orcs.
From Qin Lun's point of view, the main target of this attack was obviously the Sun Elf envoy. As for the core executives of the Moon Elf, including him, a descendant of the pseudo-royal family, they were just secondary targets incidentally. Even so, the stalkers he encountered had at least reached the level of high-ranking apostles.
Although Qin Lun didn't have much equipment at the time, he had already comprehended the Hunter's Heart before, and with the "Anatomical Blood" transformed by the Killing Heart, his force was already extremely close to the second level, but under the attack of the stalker There is no way to fight back. Even Joey could only save his life by relying on his momentary bravery and adopting the strategy of exchanging his life for injury.
This is not because he was unprepared, or lost his initiative, but because the high-level occupation faced the low-level occupation in an all-round suppression in terms of absolute force. As for the subsequent counterattack with the "Star Black Hole", most of the credit should be attributed to Elistin and the other two elf rangers. Otherwise, with the "Star Black Hole"'s pre-preparation that lasted several seconds, he would have no chance to attack the stalker.
The enemies encountered by the secondary targets are all so powerful. Their main target, Mileras, who has a whole team of Sun Elf guards, can imagine the pressure they will face. There must be more than one or two attackers there. high-level occupation.
"Two people actually died!" Qin Lun raised his eyebrows, and had to say that this result was a bit unexpected.
There is a huge difference in combat effectiveness between a single apostle and a team apostle in small-scale battles, especially the Lost Newbies, a mixed team that is matched by profession. This is definitely not a simple relationship of addition and subtraction. Compared with a single apostle, a well-coordinated team will increase geometrically.
"Elisten, do the elders know the identity of the attacker?" Qin Lun asked slowly.
"Understood, it's the notorious Zhentarim!" Elistine said through gritted teeth, a hint of ferocity appeared on her sweet and delicate face for the first time, she hesitated, and then said, "Elder Adeline guesses that their target is Mi Prince Laras, the assassination of the high-ranking members of the family and the descendants of the royal family should have been just a matter of convenience, anyway, the peace-loving elves have always been their sworn enemies."
Zhentarim? Hearing this name, Qin Lun quickly remembered the two small intelligence-gathering missions "Harper" and "Zhenta Forest Society" that he had received back then. Looking at the death list for a while, he found that these two small tasks had disappeared, but these two nouns could already be queried in the death list. It seemed that Broken Starry Sky had obtained detailed information from other apostles.
Although the intelligence gathering task is a small personal task, it is issued to all apostles who have entered this world. Since someone has already completed it, it will naturally disappear from the task list of other apostles.
In order not to reveal his identity as an apostle, Qin Lun didn't go around looking for information on these two small missions. He sank his consciousness into the death list, and listened to Elisten's explanation while checking the information on the Zhentarim and the Harper.
The Zhentalin Society is composed of mages, priests, warriors and thieves from the evil camp. The main bases are Zhentil Castle, Hidden Black Town and Raven Fortress in the Moon Sea. It is also known as the Dark Intelligence Network and is an extremely evil organization.
For things that cannot be directly controlled, they will not hesitate to use all terrorist methods to force it to submit or secretly weaken its power until it can no longer pose any threat to the Zhentarim and obey.
The main purpose of the Zhentarim Society is to control the Moon Sea region, secretly manipulate all political centers in this region, and control the trade routes from the Moon Sea to the most prosperous areas of the mainland, such as the Sea of Falling Stars, the Lake of Steam, and the Sword Coast.
The leading group of the Zhentarim is called the "Inner Circle" and is made up of many people. This evil organization is very powerful. Because it has controlled the gold trade route for many years, it has the funds to recruit many powerful people from the evil camp.
To this day, the Zhentarim has become a cancer on the continent of Faerûn, even threatening the peace of many human kingdoms and intelligent races. It's just that the organization's leadership is relatively loose, members' cohesion is not strong, and there is no clear political program and ultimate goal, so it has not been successful for many years.
The Zhentarim's greatest rival is the Harpers. Non-evil people of any age, occupation, or race in Faerûn can become Harpers.
Elves, half-elves, humans, even centaurs, dwarves and other highly intelligent forest races. The first three types account for the majority of harpers, and most of these people are bards or rangers, and of course there are some other professions.
The Harper is a secretive organization with a very loose structure. It is not known that they have a clear leader, and the internal personnel are complicated. Most of the harpers hide their identities, they will only act at critical points in the current situation, and they will retreat immediately after completing the task.
Since the Harpers do not pursue fame and fortune, but only act in accordance with the ideals and justice in their hearts, most of them act alone, making it difficult for this organization to accurately define the organizational program and specific goals.
The only thing that is clear is that the Harpers believe that their mission is to maintain balance in the world and disrupt the plots of evil organizations. This also makes them and the Zhentarim become complete and sworn enemies. In many cases, the two organizations are tit-for-tat and will not back down.
Listening to Elisten's introduction to the Zhentarim Society, Qin Lun quickly understood why this evil organization targeted the Sun Elf Mission. The Comanthor Forest is adjacent to the Lunar Sea, on its southern shore. The Cormanthor elves themselves are the Zhentarim's greatest geopolitical rivals, and many harpers are from Cormanthor.
Zhentalin will work hard to control the trade route, from the Moon Sea to the Star Sea and the Vihon Sea, through the Naga River and the Aran River to the Lake of Steam, from the south of the main road to the west of Calim Port, and then go north along the trade mile of the Sword Coast , until Waterdeep City. This horseshoe-shaped golden business route is actually equivalent to the migration route of ancient elves.
The migration route of the sun elves will bring inevitable turmoil to this golden business route, causing the Zhentarim to lose control in this area and affecting their most fundamental foundation. He chased and intercepted him desperately.
In fact, the long-march migration of the sun elves will affect more than one Zhentarim organization, and the large business alliances, churches, and large organizations of various human kingdoms along the way will inevitably be greatly affected.
For example: the Seven Suns Chamber of Commerce in Calimshan, the Red Robe Mages Guild in Amn and Tethyr, the Iron Throne in Baldur's Gate, the Council of 16 Lords in Waterdeep, Amberley, Timorra, Gothe, Irmat, Omar, and other churches that rely on commercial ports and towns.
The areas where these organizations and alliances take root include all human kingdoms in the entire west and south of Faerun, accounting for three-quarters of Faerun's essence and more than 85% of the population. If you count the other elf courts who are not willing to see the sun elves succeed, the Cormanthor elves are almost the enemy of the entire continent.
In the history of Faerun without the participation of the apostles, the sun elves retook the ancient road, allowing them to become leaders of the elves again in terms of legal principles and prestige after Arivanda. Coupled with the special geographical location of Yongju Island, the rebuilt Sun King Court has essentially become the spiritual pillar of all Faerun elves.
It's a pity that due to the butterfly effect of a murderer, the Yaoyue Elf Court that will appear in the future has largely overwhelmed the Sun Royal Court and become the new political center of the Faerun elves. The ongoing long march of the sun elves had lost its greatest achievements before it succeeded, and it also made the careful planning of the elf god king Corellon Larethian come to naught, and finally split the elf god system into two camps.
…
After Elisine left, Qin Lun pondered for a while, then took out the sacrificial glove from the storage space and put it on his left hand. After the lesson this time, he didn't dare to take it too seriously. Even if he needed to conceal his identity, he must always have the sacrificial glove that could instantly cast three sixth-order magic.
Even though he only talked with Elisine for a while, Qin Lun still felt a splitting headache, and another line of blood and tears hung from his right eye, which was swollen like a walnut. The use of big skills such as "Star Black Hole" is not just about consuming energy, but also seems to involve some kind of energy data that has not been set in the death list.
Judging from the current reaction of the body, this power has a certain relationship with spiritual will, vitality and soul. Qin Lun is suffering from a splitting headache now, and it is difficult to concentrate. It is obvious that his mental strength is exhausted. In addition, his health was still unable to recover to the best state, and even the soul of life consumed a full 37 points.
In this state, Qin Lun had no choice but to give up thinking and fell asleep in the tent.
