Chapter 885

With mider's defeat and death, the "Azores elves incident", which has disturbed the ancient wood forest for several years, has finally come to an end.

But for the elves, it seems that everything has not changed, but in fact everything has changed.

In the past, the settlement model of decentralized, closed and self-sufficient has been quietly shattered; Even if the elders of each settlement were no longer willing, they had to elect their own representatives to make the "Ancient Wood Forest Elves" a whole, otherwise they could not talk equally with "giants" such as the Empire or the Azores kingdom.

Intentionally or unintentionally, the elves scattered in the whole forest in the past are gradually moving towards a unified whole and close unity through cultural closeness and blood ties.

Whether inadvertently or intentionally, the idea of "confluence and unification" brought by mider from the Azores kingdom is making the elves of the ancient wood forest ignorant and on the road to an independent country.

Even in the past hundred years, the elves have established three systems - elders, war dancers and settlement people, and have the most basic framework of a "country".

External influence, internal demand, war with ogres... One day, a powerful and powerful elf Kingdom hidden in the forest will rise strongly in the west of the Empire and can no longer be ignored by the Empire.

It is hard to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for the Empire; Only one thing Loren can be sure of is that once this "national process" starts, it will never stop, and can only affect them as much as possible in the process of its development.

But for Loren, this is absolutely welcome - because once they move towards the road of unified development, it is impossible for the elves to be isolated in the forest, and they must establish contact with the outside world; The most "peaceful" link is naturally all kinds of trade.

Although Byrne and ancient wood forest are separated by an Elman and lottel, distance is both cost and wealth for businessmen; If used properly, Loren could extend Byrne's influence to the west of the empire through lottel - that is, ruvin Friede, and then in turn affect the East and enhance the status of the south.

In this way, Byrne will no longer limit his influence to the south, but a "Continental" state with "international influence" and mastering the "imperial foreign trade and territorial development strategy", and will no longer have to succumb to the two great saxophones in the East and the West.

Building an alliance with lottel can also disperse the pressure brought by the Empire - Crown Prince Conrad - and separate a powerful principality from his power; Even if you can't join yourself, you can at least remain neutral.

Even Loren wanted to hire a group of ancient wood forest war dancers to join Bain's military system as battlefield scouts and assault light infantry through the trade route.

In this way, Byrne's army can be divided into heavy cavalry dominated by Byrne knight system, Hussars dominated by Boyi style, and a square array of medium loaded long guns dominated by the people;

The extremely heavy halberd array mainly composed of dwarves, the long-range support and logistics mainly composed of wizard tower system and professional crossbow, and the front-line reconnaissance and ambush sweeping light infantry mainly composed of ELF system.

This war system includes the traditional conscription militia and knight system, as well as professional mercenaries and free militias in tribes.

It's a big deal to follow the practice of silver helmet mountain and set up a forest for them to settle in the count of red blood castle.

With the Turin family as the core, Byrne's thirteen leaders as the main body, the chamber of Commerce and trade union system as the expansion, and the mixture of multiple regimes and races, the system of "one state, multiple systems in parallel" will become an increasingly powerful driving force for Byrne.

He has figured out the name. The name of this system is

"Are you leaving?!"

Outside the house of the chairman of the fog moon court, the incredible black haired wizard stared at Luca in front of him. His expression was so unexpected: "why?"

"It's not that we're going, but the decision made by the elves of the ancient wood forest. After 230 years, the" expedition hunting "is held for the second time." the middle-aged ELF's expression is indifferent, as if he had expected that Loren would be surprised:

"The goal this time is the southern forest - we want to sweep away all the ogres entrenched in the ancient wood forest and rebuild all the southern settlements!"

"A few years ago, you captured the Yongye forest and killed the evil god mezka in the forest. Since then, the ogres have no head and scattered all over the southern forest. The elders believe that now is the best time to counter attack the South and recapture their homeland."

Loren didn't speak, just looked at him silently.

"Naturally, it can only be achieved by war dancers who gather all the settlements," Luca continued. "In order to rebuild those settlements and not be reoccupied by ogres, other settlements must be mobilized to migrate south."

"Therefore, headed by the fog moon court in the north and the wasteland forest in the west, they will all migrate south, cross the big tree wall, recapture our land in the forest in the south, kill all our enemies, rebuild our home, and completely revive the hometown 230 years ago."

The middle-aged elf sighed: "it's impossible for such a large-scale expedition to have no movement at all - I tell you, it's also to inform the Empire in advance to prepare you; in addition, I hope the Duke and Empire of lottel can provide some help, especially iron and supplies; the elf will thank you in our way!"

Looking at Luca with an embarrassed expression, the black haired wizard finally spoke.

"So... That's how you thank?" Lauren whispered, looking around at him. "Abandon your homes, move collectively - Hide far away, and neither side will offend?"

Luca took a deep look at Loren: "you're smart, so I don't think I need to explain anything."

The black haired wizard was stunned and nodded slightly.

Yes, this choice is the most helpless choice for ancient wood forest.

They abandoned the solicitation of blood relatives and concluded peace with the Empire; But this does not mean that the elves really trust the Empire. They just have to do it under the pressure of reality.

No matter which side you choose, it means war with the other... The messenger died miserably. No matter what the reason, the eagle king of Azores will not accept this result; Loren himself could not accept it and would make a comeback.

Of course, the elves of the ancient wood forest would not like to fight with their blood relatives. Therefore, for them, moving southward to avoid the open and covert struggle between the Azores Kingdom and the empire is even to stick to the promise of "peace" to the Empire.

"All the elves?" Loren still refused to give up.

"This is the common decision of all the elders, that is, the decision of the ancient wood forest." Luca said in a deep voice: "of course, whether to obey or not is still voluntary; as far as I know, some western war dancers and young elves of the fog moon court decided to stay here."

"In addition, only the elves of the morning star forest will leave part - responsible for communicating with your empire and exchanging the specialties of the forest for the necessities for southward migration."

The middle-aged elf smiled: "she will stay."

Lauren raised her eyebrows.

"I... don't quite understand what you mean."

"She quarreled with me several times and wanted to join the 'big hunt', even if she was just an ordinary war dancer, an ordinary Elf Warrior... I refused." lucaton said softly, "the rear of the elf still needs enough excellent war dancers to guard."

"Besides, although she never spoke, I could see and hear clearly." Luca's expression was meaningful:

"Leia... She's never forgotten you."

The dark haired wizard can only keep a polite smile.

The middle-aged elf sighed: "if I could, I originally planned to stay by myself, but the southern expedition is very important, so I can't relax; I can only leave Leia in the morning star forest."

"She is young and energetic, simple and strong, but she is very vigilant - the most important thing is that she is responsible for staying behind, and you can deal with the ancient wood forest more smoothly." Luca smiled at Loren:

"I found it on the way to the fog moon court. You have been trying to bypass the Empire, borrow your friendship with the count of shenlinbao and the future Duke of lottel, and establish a relationship with the ancient wood forest, haven't you?"

Lauren's smile became a little embarrassed.

"Whether you want to do business with the ancient wood forest, or... The word you said is... Flicker? Let the young war dancers fight for you, I believe you will not deliberately harm the ancient wood forest."

Luka, who was gentle, didn't notice the surprise from the bottom of Lauren's eyes and looked very sincere: "and Leah... No matter what you want to do or what she says, I know she won't refuse you."

Lauren's expression became more and more unnatural: "er... Luca, I think you probably misunderstood something; really, I'm not married yet, well, then Leia and I are really just pure old comrades in arms..."

The middle-aged elf raised his hand and silently interrupted him.

"Lauren, help me... And Leah."

Luca pleaded in his eyes: "I know it may be difficult for you, but the only imperial people I can absolutely trust are you and ain."

"Although I don't know what the emperor thinks, he wants more than peace from the elves, right? Well... If he wants this forest, we can give up some; we won't participate in your dispute with Azores. We will go south to fight the ogres, as you want."

"But don't let the spirit of the ancient wood forest become the victim of your contradictions and disputes; I just hope you can do your best to protect Leia and the morning star forest... Only this request."

"In case, I mean in case, the war really spread to the ancient wood forest..."

"I will do my best and use all the resources I have to move the whole morning star forest settlement to the Principality of Bain - it is the south. It is absolutely safe unless half of the empire is occupied."

Lauren stepped forward, gritted her teeth and took a deep breath: "but I don't guarantee that she will listen to me. I can only say... Let her volunteer."

"She will listen, she will." the smiling Luca let out a long cry, as if she was relieved at last: "as long as you advise in person, she will listen."

Looking at the middle-aged ELF's "lonely" expression, Loren really didn't know what to say.

Relieved, Luca finally left contentedly; Peter FASA, who had been waiting at the corner, finally came out quietly.

"Are you leaving, too?"

"The mission is over, and I have no reason to continue to 'monitor' you." Peter FASA chuckled and looked at Lauren jokingly: "unlike some incompetent night watchman, I am worried all day."

Loren tugged at the corners of his mouth.

That's right... To say, his name is still on the night watchman's roster, and he is still a "subordinate" of LUT infinite according to the system.

Although the leader of the night watchman is always thinking about how to make his "subordinate" die as soon as possible

"Don't worry, Loren, your envoy's resume is so perfect that no one can accuse you of anything - of course, there will be a lot of gossip on the side of the crown prince, but it doesn't matter, and you probably won't care." Peter smiled and then looked dignified:

"I will report this information to his majesty Eckhardt II in every detail, hoping to arouse the vigilance of the sky palace... Our neighbors on the other side of the fog sea are not as' peace loving 'as we think."

The black haired wizard nodded slightly and agreed by default.

Although he felt that his majesty, the emperor of the heavenly palace, might have known this for a long time.

"In addition, I suggest you don't delay too much time and return to the red blood castle as soon as possible." Peter continued: "whether the Azores' warning is a threat or not, the red blood castle is still the safest place for you in the Empire."

"Master Halin van achamay is right. You are the key to Byrne, and the rise and fall of the whole principality are tied together - not to mention the increasingly heated struggle between the crown prince and his highness Brandon, and your Duke of Byrne must sit in the south to ensure the stability of the Empire, not to mention..."

Peter, who was just about to say something, suddenly stopped talking with embarrassment.

Huh?

Besides... What?

The dark haired wizard raised his eyes curiously.

"Er... It's not my turn to tell you, but... Just the day before we entered the ancient wood forest, I received a letter from little Yod of the United Chamber of Commerce." Peter's expression was a little embarrassed:

"I didn't tell you at that time considering that you had to face the problem of ancient wood forest, so now... I think you'd better go back as soon as possible!"

From little Joad?

Raising his eyebrows, Lauren took the letter from Peter, who was a little unpleasant: "I guess... It has something to do with a bishop?"

"Yes."

"The problem is serious?"

"It should be... Very serious."

Peter smiled awkwardly.
