Even in the northern land where resources are scarce, the Tassel Elf Kingdom is still a rare good place.
The artificially repaired cliffs and magic crystal walls have become the artificial barriers of the capital Santander, the endless cold-resistant ancient pine has become the best windbreak, the spread of the ancient elf spring and the magic spring stream has given this land Warmth and vitality make it a rare green vitality in the north.
When the northern humans were troubled by the hungry winter beasts, the natural priests and hunters of the elves successfully tamed them into obedient livestock. At that time, the fruit trees under the control of the ancient elf tree ripened three times a year, and all kinds of off-season sweet fruits would only rot if they were not exported in time in exchange for mineral resources.
The hundred-footed worm is dead but not stiff. The elf kingdoms that have inherited the legacy of the great elf empire do have the background to despise the human upstarts. The longevity that takes a hundred years as a moment has time and technology, so how can they not transform their living environment? The wild elf living in the treehouse in the knight novel is obviously the result of artistic processing.
But when the fringed main army galloped in the snow in the north, their land was as peaceful as ever. Young unicorns and pegasus were chasing and frolic in the forest, and the elf civilians in the city were still as peaceful as ever. There is spare time to organize the festival of the Winter Curtain, as for the war on the front line? They didn't think that the mighty four-nation alliance might be defeated by ordinary humans, not to mention the best efforts of the elites of the four countries.
The fact is that the number of elven troops of hundreds of thousands is not too many, but due to the extremely high average combat power, any elite wing can be used as the royal guard of various countries, and it is also a unique force on the entire continent. The stock heroes must not be underestimated.
This is the essence of elves. Even in modern times, the only weakness of the elf kingdom, which has inherited ancient magic arts, has always been the number. It takes two hundred years for an elves to grow from birth to adulthood. Not to mention ten generations, six or seven generations are absolutely achievable.
The war is all about comprehensive national strength. Population and human resources are definitely the most important items. It is impossible to think about undead. No matter how powerful a magician is, he may be accidentally killed by arrows on the battlefield and accidentally injured by friendly troops. The loss of a war may take two or three hundred years to make up.
It is absolutely impossible to fight the war of attrition, which is the flaw of the elves.
This time, if the loss of the main army is too great, the elves will enter a long period of self-cultivation. It can be said that the elves of the Northland sacrificed everything for the victory of this gamble.
At the moment when the main force is exhausted, since the major legions have already left the country, the border patrol tasks in the past were handed over to the second-line corps, or adventure teams, 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, and if it is a squad of a front-line battle group, there may be one or two more ancient elf trees, natural priests and Pegasus Knight, the strength is not a grade at all.
Even among elves, druids who live in comfortable cities and like nests in the woods are in the minority.
In any place, as long as there are intelligent creatures, trees are always one of the important resources. They are not regarded as the basic functions of buildings and furniture materials. Those exquisite elf artworks also need rare wood as raw materials, and they have rare and precious forests in the north. In the region, the high-quality wood of Elf is a big exporter of foreign exchange.
But if the druids who take protecting the forest as their highest duty can be reasonable, they will not be regarded as terrorists by various countries. Druids are stubborn, and elves are also very stubborn. The combination of the two is a super old stubborn druid. Now, their extreme nature protection organization is the source and mentor of other green terrorist organizations, and various secrets of action are regarded as classic models.
The name "Bear Bears who are not allowed to log" 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 in all elves. They have secret methods of transforming giant bears and animal taming. Secret method, maybe a grizzly bear in the forest is their spy, maybe when you are humming a song happily cutting wood, the giant bear suddenly standing behind you is already planning to smack you.
The result is that the elves are the birthplace of druids, and they are also the ethnic group with the largest number of druids, but most druids still have a superficial occupation that the world can accept.
But at this time, in the temporary campsite, the wild elf ranger Tasia, who was humming a tune and hired for dinner, was a hidden Druid master, and she was also a member of the "Little Bears Alliance". But recently, she has not fulfilled her duty of "protecting nature".
The food bills for those pets Tasia domesticated are not a small amount, and she is working hard to make money to support her family before fulfilling her vocation.
And accepting the kingdom's employment, performing some military tasks that are not dangerous, and filling the gap in the kingdom's troops, is a very cost-effective business. In this extraordinary period, the wealthy elf kingdom will not be stingy, twice the amount of employment during the war. Jin attracted countless mercenaries.
"Ha, I really made a lot of money this time. You can earn so much just by patrolling the border. I hope the war will continue for a long time. I also hope that the cowards in those cities will continue to increase their commissions. If the war escalates, don't say three It is possible to double the employment fee tenfold.”
Tasia didn't say anything like an elf, but her centaur companions were already familiar with her character. On the contrary, compared to the nostrils of the elf nobles in the city, the status in the elf kingdom was generally not high. Centaurs prefer Tasia's straightforwardness and approachability.
"Don't say such things in the city, it will make those elf uncles unhappy." Centaur Pohl laughed, considering the recent skyrocketing salary, he can be considered to have made a profit this time, and he is naturally in a good mood.
"In the past years, the legion's duty was not so easy, and they still had to search for those slave-hunting teams in the wild. Great Magus, whoever catches it will never be known. There are not a few patrols who disappeared because of it in previous years.”
Tasia smiled even more happily.
"That's right, those slave-hunting teams really can't cause trouble for me now. The trouble they have caused themselves is not small... It's a pity, Princess Suana. Hey, it's such a pity, good people don't get rewarded."
Thinking of that gentle and watery figure, Tasia, who was always unhappy with the high elves, was also full of dissatisfaction.
"... About that matter, I heard a rumor, well, it's just a rumor."
The silent elf warrior Grover suddenly said a sentence, but his words naturally caught the attention of his teammates.
After a moment of hesitation, Grover finally continued.
"The rumor says that there are many doubts about the kidnapping of Princess Suana this time. The elf corps that was supposed to be on duty was suddenly pulled out for training, the ranger troop suddenly started closed training, and even the Royal Guard Moon Blade was temporarily dispatched to the border to deal with disputes. That not-so-strong slave-trader caught Her Royal Highness..."
Hearing this, the members of the team kept a strange silence. It is not that they have not heard of this rumor. In recent weeks, any tavern or market has been spreading and discussing this taboo topic.
The follow-up of the rumor is also obvious. It is impossible that the death of Princess Suana is a conspiracy of the Elf King and the Senate. It is not so much that Princess Suana died in the hands of humans, it is better to be treated as a sacrifice by the cold-blooded Elf King.
"If you don't have evidence, let's talk less, it's a lot of trouble."
Tasia, who had just been careless, advised Grover to act cautiously, but as soon as the words fell, the usually kind elf warrior suddenly sneered.
"There is no evidence? Is it not evidence that the two legendary powerhouses who were the royal guards were suddenly transferred away? The 'Hand of Kashgar' Anrod, who has an excellent relationship with Her Royal Highness the Princess, directly caused a disturbance in the military department. It is said that he was angry. It directly smashed the signboard of the military department."
Obviously, the Grover in front of him is the peace faction who supports Princess Suana. After the initial anger, they began to calmly think about the cause of the princess's death, and found those doubts.
"According to human beings, the planners of political conspiracies are often the beneficiaries of a series of events. In this event, human countries obviously did not benefit from it. The only one who benefited was the main war faction, and that person was also cruel. , Her Royal Highness Suana is his daughter..."
Well, I've said this clearly enough, and I'm about to point directly at the Elf King to curse.
Immediately, the temperature in the camp dropped several degrees, and everyone fell silent. After all, it is definitely not a good thing for ordinary people to participate in this kind of thing. Spies and whistleblowers are not the patent of human beings. It's really unfortunate, there's nowhere to talk about suffering.
And Tasia, who was originally a Druid, was even less interested in this kind of thing. Although she felt that the princess was a pity, she didn't plan to risk her life for her.
So, she tried her best to talk about him.
"Ah, there's a dark elf in there!"
Well, dark elves appear in the heart of the elven kingdom? This is obviously nonsense, but it amuses Grover.
He smiled and shook his head.
"If you don't want to talk about it, the darkness here and there..."
Halfway through his words, he rolled his eyes and fell, and the dark green dagger behind him showed the reason for his fall.
"...Although I don't know how you found me, but since I was discovered, I definitely can't let you go back."
A figure in jet-black leather armor walked out of Grover's shadow, and that black complexion was enough to explain everything.
"There are really dark elves, maybe, I can consider changing the profession of Prophecy Mage."
At this time, Tasia still has time to sigh about her crow's mouth. The dark elf scout in front of her is probably silver, and the poison from the dagger is just an ordinary paralyzing poison. It may be enough to clean up the ordinary patrol team, but if you hide it by yourself With the strength of the legendary Druid rising up, the scouts in front of him are just the remnants of the combat power five.
"Aha, eat my rolling pin!"
And the fact is exactly as expected. The dark elf, who was originally ambitious and slow, was knocked down by Tasia's sturdy stick in a single encounter. He probably thought of an elf shooter with a longbow, why would he show such a Superb stick skills, what the hell is the paralyzing lightning strike in the stick.
"Small sample, dare to talk to me, little guys, hurry up and walk with someone, I don't think the situation is right, maybe he has accomplices..."
The rest can be saved. The many ghosts escaping from the woods have explained everything, and Tasia once again confirmed her talent for prophecy.
"... Tasia, let's say a few words less."
At this time, it was naturally a time to run away. Considering that this man was also talking about the spirit in the past adventures (only bad things), the centaur who ran to the front was also full of resentment.
But his words were not answered, and he turned his head to look, Tasia had disappeared without a trace, and there was only the grizzly bear who had been dozing all the time.
And his teammates, except for Tasia, who suddenly disappeared, have all fallen.
"Law: Halo!"
After hearing a voice, the gray-black brilliance flashed, and he immediately fell to the ground unconscious.
At this time, a dark elf priest riding a black armored scorpion came out Shi Shiran, and behind her were dozens of panic-stricken dark elf scouts.
"Stupid male, you can't even deal with such a weak sacrifice. If you miss the big event of the spider queen this time, I will cut you into pieces and feed the poisonous silk spider alive!"
What was in front of him was the fury of the dark elf priest, and in the distance, there was the sound of clapping. Tasia, who had more adventure experience than a surface ranger, knew that it was the sound of a large-scale lizard cavalry marching. Only the most powerful family could afford the expensive lizard cavalry, and there was only one possibility to use the lizard cavalry as an organization.
"High-level Priest Rose and Grey Lizard Cavalry Corps? Damn, this is not a hunting party looking for sacrifices at all, this is a whole army of dark elves. At this time, sending troops to attack the elf kingdom, Rose is crazy?"
And now is obviously not the time to sigh. When Tasia silently imitated the grizzly bear's habit and planned to leave, she was seen by the female priest.
"Hmph, it's not been a year or two for my mother to imitate animals. My mother is a professional."
So, she lay down directly, sniffed the fallen elf, and looked like a grizzly foraging for food.
But suddenly, she found that the dark brilliance gathered on the priest's nine-headed whip, and she seemed to have found something, so she was a little anxious.
"I'm sorry, eldest sister, I will compensate you in the future."
She gritted her teeth, bit down on her colleague who fell, and chewed with her eyes closed.
"Hmph, completely imitating my family's Xiaohui's eating form, watching my mother's divine 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 take their attention away. On the contrary, they stared at him dumbfounded.
"Pfft, ahaha, there are bears eating grass! This Druid is so funny."
The female priest rolled on the back of the armored scorpion, and Tasia realized that the taste in her mouth was not right, and then she glanced at it, only to find 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, while Tasia, with her eyes closed, bit down on a piece of grass and began to swallow.
Obviously, trying to block her sense of taste, she couldn't taste the taste in her mouth, and she ended up eating two mouthfuls of grass.
"Hmph, I'm just a bear who likes to eat grass. Why, is there a rule that bears can't eat grass? Eating my bear's paw will turn the world upside down!"
Well, Tasia, who always loses the chain at critical moments, once again showed what it means to be a dead duck and become angry with her actions.
