Chapter 888

The "battle of honor" that shocked the whole ancient wood forest has come to an end, but for the elves of the ancient wood forest, everything has just begun.

There are hundreds of settlements and thousands of elves. They must migrate to the big tree wall before the end of summer, attack before the ogres entrenched there launch the offensive at the end of summer, stand firm on the southern border before the cold winter, and start this unprecedented "big hunting".

According to Luca's prediction, at least one tenth of the settlements will complete colonization before winter, laying a good foundation for the subsequent relocated settlements and establishing a "forward defense line" to attack south.

This is bound to be very difficult... When winter comes, the ogres will launch a fierce attack on the elf settlement; The war dancers who have lost the cover of the big tree wall must protect the settlement and fight against the enemies from all directions in the open forest.

Some... Many war dancers will fall in this initial offensive; We will never see the new year when the snow melts and everything bursts out.

Looking at the calm middle-aged elves, the little wizard and Loren can only silently bless them. I hope the war dancers in the morning star forest can spend this doomed difficult winter.

Although Luca doesn't seem to care

The imperial mission that has completed its mission is also "divided into two". Peter FASA and his deputy will turn to the imperial capital, while Loren and his party will go to the red blood Castle nonstop.

As for why the night watchman's informant was placed in the mission, Loren suspected that mentor Dalton had deliberately arranged to take the opportunity to pull out the night watchman's nail in the Knights.

But before that, they must go to the morning star forest together.

After arriving at the eastern settlement, Loren and his entourage met the Knight Commander Aaron who came at the command of Reuven Friede.

It was not until he set out that Aaron got the real order from Archduke lottel from yingshou castle in the rear - the heavenly palace only issued the order to assemble troops to prevent accidents, but did not command to put troops into the front line of Shenlin castle.

The reply surprised the knight in a cold sweat; What frightened him was not only the power of the Azores, but also the infiltration into lottel; It's the spirit of the ancient wood forest who really plans to invade lottel!

From lottel to ancient wood forest, only shenlinbao can be passed by the army; But the elves' War dancers can attack lottel from anywhere in the forest; This means that at the beginning of the war, half of lottel will fall directly, and all villages and towns without fortress and Castle shelter will be swept away!

This is also an important reason why Lu Wen has always tried to avoid the war between lottel and ancient wood forest... In the face of war dancers with excellent mobility and individual combat power, lottel really doesn't have many good countermeasures except avoiding the war.

Whether victory or defeat, lottel will suffer heavy losses, which can not be avoided at all.

But if the enemy were the Azores who came across the ocean, the situation would be completely different.

Although the elves withdrew from a large area of forest in the north, if their army is similar to the Empire, their attack route is only shenlinbao line... Which means that lottel really has to start preparing for war.

"... I have a general understanding of the situation, and I will convey the details to master Reuven and Duke lottel." with a long sigh, the tired Knight frowned tightly.

"Unexpectedly... Apart from the misty sea, the Azores can reach out to the Empire and lottel; it's really... Great courage!"

Gnashing his teeth, Aaron's eyes twinkled with anger: "since they come to visit, we have to treat them well and let them truly experience the enthusiasm of loterians."

"Fortunately, their attempt to plot against the ancient wood forest has failed - at least in the short term, there can be no more action." the black haired wizard smiled:

"The fog moon court was burned to white by the elves. Even if the Azores fleet could escape the imperial surveillance and land in the ancient wood forest, it could not get any supplies... Even if it could attack lottel across half the forest, it could only invest thousands of troops at most."

"I have discussed with the elves in the morning star forest. Once they find that the army of Azores elves is close, they will send messengers to Shenlin castle. I believe that Shenlin castle, which is as solid as gold, will become a sad halberd for the Azores eagle king!"

With his mouth tilted, Loren looked into the knight's long eyes: "the reputation of the 'Catcher' at the west gate of the Empire, even if it's a gift I gave to ruwen to be crowned Lord of lottel."

The two people with opposite eyes had a tacit understanding and smiled.

"I think if you can give this' gift 'to master ruwen at the coronation ceremony, he will be happier." the knight raised his head and looked at Loren meaningfully:

"I know it's presumptuous to ask a Duke like this, which may bring accusations from the heavenly palace and the church, but..."

"You are his friend, a friend who can trust each other's lives."

The knight's tone was very heavy, with a strong feeling of expectation.

The dark haired wizard sighed secretly... Because he really didn't have time this time.

"Please tell Reuven that after he is crowned, I will send a special mission and caravan to the morning star forest to negotiate with the elves there." Loren looked at him carefully: "if the Lord of lottel doesn't dislike it at that time, there will be a full-power envoy of mine in the mission, who can negotiate with him."

"... I see."

The knight's long face was a little gloomy, but there was no accident - it was better to say that if Loren agreed to this kind of thing, he would be surprised:

"As long as it does not involve violation of imperial laws, as long as we can take it, lottel will provide all convenience for Bain's mission and caravan."

"The south gate and the west gate of the Empire will be guarded by two great and long-standing families to bring long-term and stable peace to the Empire!"

"Byrne and lottel are destined to become the saviors of the Empire in this inevitable disaster, and become the three pillars supporting the saklan empire with West saklan, where the imperial capital is located." Loren was equally impassioned:

"Yingshou castle, Golovin and red blood castle will be the core of the stable triangle; if the triangle exists, the Empire will not be destroyed!"

The Knight Commander nodded, bowed slightly to Loren, and then turned away with decisive steps.

Only Loren, still standing in place, seemed to be waiting for something.

Sure enough... Until the knight walked away, the female elf who always hid behind carefully came out and looked at Loren's joking eyes, her face flushed with shame.

"What are you doing?!"

"Nothing." the narrow-minded black haired wizard said, "after all, I've been chatting with the knight just now. I didn't notice the existence of a war dancer, so I'm a little curious."

"Curious?"

"Yes, I'm curious... How long have you been standing in the back?"

The Female Elf was stunned at first, then reacted, stared at him discontentedly, and was about to raise the long gun in her hand: "I have to teach you a big lie for ayin..."

But almost at the same time, the smile on the dark haired wizard's face dispersed and became a little sad: "I'm sorry, Leia."

"Although it's not intentional, lies are lies." Loren whispered, "yes, from the beginning, the goal of this' Imperial mission 'was not to target the ancient wood forest, but the spying and destruction of the Azores."

"Because of us, you have to be completely separated from distant blood relatives, and because of us, you have to leave your hometown and embark on the road of migration to the south."

"I will not deny my behavior, especially to my friends."

Looking at the black haired wizard who bowed her head and admitted her mistake, the Female Elf whose anger was frozen on her face was stunned for half a second, and then glanced at her head with a cold hum: "it doesn't matter. Anyway, you're a big liar. You've never told the truth. You've been used to it for a long time."

"And it's not a migration, it's a 'big hunt', it's a grand event that hasn't happened in 200 years. I want to go in my dreams! If Luca hadn't forced me to stay, do you think I would like to deal with you liars?!"

Looking at the female wizard with round eyes like a demonstration, the black haired wizard smiled all the way, but looked at her with a silent smile, which was quite spiteful.

Maybe it's because Loren didn't resist, maybe it's because the tension and shame have been vented, just looking at him.

This feeling is really subtle... It's like going back to a few years ago and back to the winter when both sides knew each other; It is also in the morning star forest. It is also about to go and face life and death.

But at that time, they had to fight side by side. This time, they went their separate ways and probably never saw each other again.

"So... Are you really leaving?"

"Time is pressing, we must go back." with a regretful sigh, Loren nodded. "I'm the Duke of Byrne. If I continue to stay... It will make some people dissatisfied."

"Some people?" she raised her eyebrows, and Leia looked calm:

"Are you talking about your emperor or the woman in the red blood castle?"

Poof!

Loren was so hung that he almost blew it out.

"Well... I don't know how Lu Wen told you about it, but I must explain it clearly!" the black haired wizard collapsed: "yes, I have a female relative in red blood castle; yes, I have a good relationship with her; but we absolutely don't..."

"Don't worry, tease you... These ain told me." this time, the fairy looked at him cunningly: "Charlotte is a good girl. If a guy like you can get it so easily, it's really that the Holy Cross doesn't have eyes."

Loren really doesn't know what to say.

Well, besides... The Holy Cross does not have eyes

Looking at the speechless black haired wizard, the little proud Female Elf stopped pestering, turned around, took out a long knife from behind and handed it to Loren.

That's midell's sabre, broken shadow sword.

"I've been thinking for a long time. It's better to give it to you." Leia scratched her head and lifted the handle of the knife like holding a long gun. "Anyway, it's the booty of your duel victory - the spirit of the ancient wood forest doesn't know how to use a knife. It may be useful for you."

The dark haired wizard nodded silently and took the long knife with both hands.

The blade is made of secret silver, but it is as light as a feather; The center of the heaviest blade back is also very thin; But the forging marks on the blade are dense layers. Even people like Loren who don't know much about the blade can feel how terrible the sharp blade has been tempered.

The secret silver gives the blade toughness and strength, and the craftsman's craft gives her a natural shape, light as the weight of Hongyu and sharp enough to cut gold and iron.

The front is like tracing light, and the body is like a silver mirror.

It's impolite to say that even the "dawn" of Turin's ancestral secret silver sword is rough and inferior like an uncut sword embryo in front of this exquisite work of art.

"Break the shadow sword... I will make good use of it. At least find a good master and never let her remain unknown." take a deep breath, "Ka!" the black haired wizard solemnly took the knife back into its scabbard.

It would be a pity for such a weapon to stay in Byrne - neither they nor Lucian are good at using knives; As for a machete Archduke who already has an "iron horse", his royal highness, who is also in Boyi, probably won't go to the battlefield in person except summoning the dragon.

Let's leave it to ruwen... Plus the news conveyed by the Knight Commander, even if he didn't attend his coronation ceremony.

"Never unknown..." Leia's eyes darkened: "that is to say... The Empire and Azor Kingdom have really wanted to..."

"It's not up to us to decide, but up to them to decide." Loren softly interrupted the ELF: "they first started the spearhead, destroyed the Empire's ocean fleet in the fog sea, and put their tentacles into the Empire."

"We have no demands on the land of the Azores Kingdom, nor do we want to have any contradictions with them; but if they want to come to the door, the empire can't sit idly by - if we want war, we give them war, that's it!"

"Really?"

The fairy smiled stiffly: "you are talking now, and you are beginning to look like Lu Wen... No, it should be that you two are more and more like each other."

Loren looked at the fairy with a dignified expression.

"Listen, Leia, I'm just a suggestion - but if the Azores Kingdom really invades the empire from the ancient wood forest, you and everyone in the morning star forest can leave the deep forest castle at any time. Any forest in Bain will always have your seat..."

"No!"

Liya resolutely stopped the black haired wizard who still wanted to talk, and her expression suddenly became a lot colder: "if the blood relatives of the Azor Kingdom really come, we have our own way to deal with it, and we will never be subordinate to others and grovel."

Loren pulled a corner of his mouth... He almost wanted to say, "I didn't expect you to use the word 'depend on others', but reason kept him silent.

"We are the children of the ancient wood forest, and we are proud elves." the Female Elf looked solemn:

"If we want to die, we stand and die."
