Chapter 520: The Last Warning!
Plane of Principal Matter, Comanso.
If humans are lucky enough to walk in the shadow of the mountains of huge maple trees and towering oak trees, they will soon realize that they have entered a world that does not require their existence.
This vast wood, located north of the human kingdom of Cormir, is a testament to the extant forgotten Green Age, when humanity was not yet the dominant world it is now.
During the time of the elven evacuation, more than 90% of the elves known as the Komanso migrated to the island of Eternal Ju or Everisca to the west, and only a small number of them remain here today, congregating in the Seberholm region near Lake Seber, the Shining Stars Colony, and the Moonlight Hills of the Abyssal Valley.
The other elves with human spouses, friends, or half-elven children have to remain on the other fringes of the valley, seemingly marginalized by the mainstream elven society, and although they are often harassed by slave hunters from the southern human realm, they are at least spared from endless friction and war with the drow elves.
When the elves made a strategic retreat from Comanso, they set up numerous traps and magical guards in this ancestral land to prevent humans and other races from migrating here.
However, Amrari, the last queen of the Elven Court of Comanso, and the High Elves who designed this system would never have imagined that their design would indeed succeed in separating the non-elven races from this defense system forever, but their former enemies, the Drow Elves would be the first to pass through these defenses and claim ownership of the forest.
As the extravagant life of the elven court had been replaced by the hunting of the rangers and the pace of the druids, while Comanso was still beautiful and had a large number of trees worthy of the bard's song and ornate verses, the shadows of this ancient forest and the sounds of the battles within, were still chilling.
When humans, elves, drows, and gnomes began to defend their opponents with forests, castles, and borders, war could not be suppressed from brewing and erupting between them at the beginning, and continuing to this day.
Perhaps the elves had sacrificed too much in this protracted war, but they still couldn't see the slightest hope of recovering the elven king, Mistrono, and things suddenly changed a little thirty years ago.
It was the appearance of a half-elf ranger from the west.
Her name is... Ellene.
This heroic deed of being born in Silvermoon City in the Northlands, but eventually joining a multi-racial city-state ruled by the Silver Dragon, and once saving the entire Northlands by being an ancient evil whistleblower, was originally famous on half the continent because of Zeelandia's decades-long spread of pirated movie engrams, the Northland trade network and the spread of bards, and became an idol longed for by many half-elves, and even won the recognition and praise of pure-blood elves.
So when this half-elf ranger traveled half a continent alone through Cormier to the Comanso Forest, these half-elves who had always lived in the gap between elves and human society seemed to see the dawn through the mist.
That feeling is probably like the milk people of the Blue Star seeing the resurrection of the dead of Joan of Arc!
The Northland Bear saw the coffin of the Marnex rise!
The suffering masses of South America saw the glass Valqing once again raised the banner of liberators!
It was an indescribable touch, a glory that was desperate to survive.
So when Ellene just revealed her identity to these half-elf compatriots with a few half-elf slaves rescued by Cormier, and told them about her idea of wanting to change the situation of the half-elves, she was immediately stunned to find that she didn't need to give the horn the purpose and meaning behind this, just like those third-rate bard Mary Sue protagonists, and immediately gained a group of fanatical half-elf 'die-hard fans'...
She didn't even need to take the initiative to run for publicity, and these 'tap water' who 'the world has been suffering for a long time, and the one who stands is Erlene' started the mode of flooding the water around Comanso.
In less than a month, Erlene was shocked to find that she had only been a forest ranger captain and suddenly there were thousands of people next to her, and this number quickly increased to 30,000 in two years...
And this number is still snowballing over time with the spread of news.
At this time, Erlini began to rejoice and appreciate the 'Pioneer' gift package that Li Wei had prepared for her 'Zeelandia Human Resources Manager' before she left.
In addition to a copy of the "Astarte Holy Book - Human Resources Integration" compiled and revised by the 'Legal Department' of the Zeellandia Magic Research Institute, the most important thing is an army of 'foreign migrant workers' composed of slimes.
Once released, the migrant workers brought their own seeds, mushrooms and sawfat fish seedlings from the Zelandia countryside, and once released, as long as they were guided and planned by humans, they could quickly multiply themselves like a base car and open up wasteland and fish ponds.
Although the proliferation rate in the early stage was destined not to be fast, and the food supply that could be provided was relatively limited, this dazzling operation still made the half-elves who were suffering from poverty like a miracle, and they were even more convinced that the half-elf lady in front of them seemed to be shrouded in a layer of aura was the 'great man from heaven' sent by the goddess of fate to save them from suffering.
When their numbers swelled to a certain extent, and there was a relatively stable order to restrain the norms, even the half-elves who had no political precedent and presence before still attracted the attention of the pure-blood elves from Comanso and the southern human kingdom Cormier.
It's just that at the beginning, both the arrogant pure-blood elves and the greedy humans were dismissive of Ellene's demand for the 'complete liberation of the half-elf slaves'.
For the elves, who are busy fighting against the drow elves, they have always been wary of the current land overlord humans, and they need a group of half-elves as a buffer to share the greed and desire that attracts humans.
For human beings, the slave trade, especially the half-elf slave trade, has long become one of the pillar industries of Cormier's economy, and this is an interest that they cannot voluntarily give up no matter what!
Where there is oppression, there is naturally resistance, and there is no way to solve it through peaceful means, so it is natural to resort to force.
Ellene's sharp arrows were fired head-on at the slave hunters who had penetrated deep into the forests of Comanso like tentacles.
Cormier, on the other hand, was not suitable for cavalry to fight deep into the Comanso Forest, and had to guard against prying eyes from Sambia in the east.
As a result, the three sides began a long period of friction and the Cold War.
This continued until the emergence of the Great Plague of the Inland Sea 19 years ago.
Signs of resurrection of the dead appeared one after another around the Falling Star Sea, which really made the surrounding kingdoms panic.
Cormier watched almost as the neighboring powerhouse of Sambia was overwhelmed by the spreading undead plague due to the slow prevention of the plague.
If it weren't for the Thunder Peak, Guangze and the Ashaba River as national borders, it would be difficult for both Cormier and Komanso Elves to say that they would be able to withstand the undead disasters that flooded like an ocean.
In just three years, the southern Dragon's Coast, Turmis, and Ottenbeir have fallen.
In the year 1320 of the Vale calendar, Hembo, the chosen goddess of magic, ascended to the throne of Queen Agoralon and led the people in the fight against this undead scourge.
The following year, the Harpists of the Comantso generation were reorganized, forced to cross the Ashaba River and invade the forests of Comanso.
Seeing that Cormier had no time to take care of anything else, and that the strength of the Far Travelers organized by Ellene in this catastrophe was obvious to all, under the double pressure of Drow and the Undead Scourge, the pure-blood elves of Comanso finally lowered their noble heads, openly recognized the approval of the Half-Elf Wanderer government, and tried to contact and discuss the cooperation in the fight against the Drow and the Undead Scourge.
The task was tasked by the reformist Oriana Windranger of the Comantso, and the two gained friendship from each other through a long period of contact and cooperation.
Xu is the Drow Elves were also hit by the undead scourge, and in the years that followed, the frequent local wars between the two sides subsided considerably.
Until this day in the year 1336 of the Valley Calendar, the forest of Comanso still seemed unusually calm, so calm that even the pure-blood elves had the leisure to learn from the ladies of the era of the elven royal court to appreciate the art of the past and enjoy a life of low luxury.
On the shores of Lake Seberholm, Ellene, who was coming to discuss future military plans and cooperation with Orianna on a daily basis, was almost close to the tree hole when she saw an elven ranger captain park a brand-new alchemy bicycle on the side of the prominent road, and then another elf couldn't help but exclaim:
"Wow, the latest alchemy bike from Minastirris, how much does it cost?"
I saw that the elf before said with a disgusted face: "It's not from my family, why do you pity me for running back and forth in the woods all day long, and get me a substitute or something." This alchemy bike looks like it's speechless, but can it climb a tree or turn it upside down 180 degrees? I'm out on patrol to protect the Seberholm stronghold! Riding this thing all the way to the clattering sound, do you think Drow doesn't know I'm coming, or thinks I'm not big enough to be a target! I politely refused at least three times, and the steel male just won't listen! Hey!"
The female elf, who was still waiting to show off her superiority a few more times, immediately flushed her cheeks when she saw Ellene passing by, and gave her a bow.
"Greetings to Ellene, Hila Linda. ”
Erlene almost couldn't hold back her laughter on the spot, so she had to nod her head in return with a pretended seriousness.
However, when I saw the incomparably familiar alchemy product, there was an indescribable warmth in my heart.
This old alchemy bicycle was developed in Minas Stiris as early as half a century ago, and it is basically a necessary travel tool for the public at home, and before she left, the Magic Research Institute also gave her a magic kinetic energy trial model, but unfortunately she didn't know how to charge it, and this alchemy vehicle was indeed not suitable for use in the forest, so it has been kept in the warehouse.
It's just that I didn't expect that after such a long time, it would also become popular among the elves of Comanso, and it seems that the smuggling price is not expensive.
And as soon as I entered the treehouse, I heard Oriana's bold voice:
"Hey, Ellene, I miss you!"
The corners of Ellene's mouth curled up, and quipped:
"I think it's thinking about those engrams in my hand. ”
But Orianna did not shy away from admitting viciously:
"Whoever doesn't know the whole of Comanso counts as having the most good things in your hands Erline, and every year your Mr. Dragon will send a copy of the popular light and shadow drama and bard biography of the Northland to you in the mail.
"Don't you know that my two younger sisters have their whole faces distorted with envy and jealousy when they hear this!"
These words made the shy Erlene's face red, and she quickly waved her hand and said:
"As I said, I really don't have the kind of relationship with Mr. Long you imagined, I'm just a battle nun under his command, and in Minastiris, in Zelandia, there are tens of thousands of battle nuns like me... I..."
But before Ellene could finish explaining, Orianna rolled her eyes:
"Yes, there are tens of thousands of people like you, I don't believe that he can treat each of you nuns like this, then he is not a silver dragon, but a dragon king of the seven seas!"
Ellene choked immediately, and her face turned even redder.
Oriana patted her shoulder with a sigh and sighed:
"Hey, Northland Crown Minas Stirris, I really want to end this boring military career, take another long vacation, and go with you to the legendary White City to have a good time, I have a lot of things to buy. ”
Seeing that she finally stopped staring at this, Elinee immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Yes, there will be a day when the war here is over, and no more compatriots will be enslaved in this elven homeland, I will invite you to my house as a guest. ”
Hearing this, the Ranger Commander became even more worried:
"I think so too, but with our current strength, it's basically impossible to do these two things, and haven't you noticed? In the face of that group of drow elves who have not diminished in the slightest, I can already clearly feel that that the group of conservatives and even some of the top leaders no longer have the will to expel the drow and restore the elven king court Mistrono... Even recently, it has not even been possible to go to the royal court on a regular basis. ”
"But it's too deep over there, and every mission means the death of several sisters, so do this... The price is indeed too great. Erlene couldn't bear it.
But Oriana showed unprecedented caution:
"But this is the price that must be paid! Although the ancestors demolished the main body of the royal court before they evacuated the royal court, the lost locks and magic devices still existed, and over the years, no one knows how far the drow has progressed in cracking them, if they are left alone, once they take control of the misty locks of Mistrono...
"In our lives, we will never have the slightest chance of recovering the royal court's homeland!"
After saying these resounding words, the two ranger commanders looked at each other speechlessly.
And the bell of fate rang silently in such a time of sorrow.
Buzz.
Everyone only felt that their feet shook violently like an earthquake, and they looked around, even the bauhinia flowers on the windowsill of the treehouse were shivering.
"It's in the direction of the royal court of Mistrano!"
Orianna and Erlene glanced at each other, and they could see the uneasiness and solemnity in each other's eyes.
"Sheila Linda, your third forest patrol team, go and investigate. ”
“... Your will is my mission!" the elven captain of the Van Shixuan bicycle from before immediately took the order.
"Wait! ”
The elven captain named Hila Linda froze and chuckled back.
However, after waiting for half an hour, no one from the entire third forest patrol team came back to report.
This plunged the entire Seberholm stronghold into an unprecedented dead silence.
Orianna ordered a full-fledged wartime state on the spot.
Erlenie stepped forward and said, "I'd better go! This situation must be investigated, otherwise, I am afraid that the whole of Cyberholm may be possible." ”
Just as Oriana's face was cloudy and he was about to agree, he heard a cry of pain:
"Run, run!
"Everyone, run away!
"It's a demon!
"It's all evil..."
The two of them looked over, and saw that Hila Linda, who was covered in blood and hoarse, suddenly couldn't make a sound anymore, looked at her pierced chest, and then fell from the branch and fell into the dust.
I saw a demon with a majestic body and skin that looked like it had been corrupted by sulfuric acid pick up her corpse and send it to her mouth, and an ugly chewing sound sounded.
And behind it, countless demonic torrents were swarming out from the direction of the royal court!
