Buckland's old white tiger commented when chatting that although Richard, the little bastard, was born with a bad stomach and was proficient in abduction, he was affectionate and righteous to the people around him.

It is said that the pure and innocent saints in the world are rarer than the three-legged toad after all, and besides, that kind of person is not able to mix up any doorway. If you insist like him, you can be considered a really good man.

I could hear the Ripper soldiers holding their heads high, and I could hear the girls with red cheeks and bright eyes.

Richard didn't know if it was Buckland's true words, or if he deliberately said it to slap him on the back. However, for himself, protecting the people around him is indeed a natural instinct like eating and drinking, and there is nothing worth mentioning deliberately.

In the morning light, the lord was lying on his back on the bed, snoring loudly, and the waxed paulownia floor of the bedroom suddenly sounded a chaotic sound of footsteps.

"Sir, sir. ”

When I opened my eyelids, my vision was crowded with fat and thin elf girls on the left and right, all of them wearing black and white maid outfits, all of them crying so much that their eyes were red, and they were obviously out of proportion.

"I'm not dead yet, why do I cry when I get up in the morning? Richard rubbed his sleepy eyes, scrambled to his feet, and scolded impatiently.

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone immediately regained a little composure.

For these maids who are attached to the lord's mansion, it is not too bad to be able to see the backbone of the lord.

"Bessie, what the hell is going on?"

"Sir. Bessie wiped her tears, and her pretty face was full of uneasiness, "It's rumored outside that the elves have betrayed all the creatures in the pan-continent, is it true?"

Richard was bored for a long time, and his brain finally woke up completely from his slumber, "Hey~ How do you know?"

The lord's response proved the accuracy of the rumors, and a cry broke out among the elven maids.

"Stop!" Richard scratched his head vigorously, his hairy hair like a lion in the San Jose circus, glaring at him without anger, "I'll ask again, how the hell do you know!"

Bessie said with tears in her eyes, "It's a merchant who came to trade......

"!" Richard gritted his teeth and slapped his head.

He originally thought that the mountain fort was relatively closed to the outside world, and as long as he finished the gag order, he could sit back and relax. As a result, thousands of calculations have been calculated, and it is still estimated that foreign businessmen will be more talkative!

"Where's Anne?" the lord stretched out his arm, and the maids immediately began to dress him.

He could fully understand the panic and despair of these elven maidens.

Don't look at the forest elves who announced their surrender, they can't reach these steppe elves for a long time, so it stands to reason that it shouldn't have anything to do with it. But the vast majority of humans don't care so much, and the target of exclusion and persecution must be all elves.

In fact, it's the same for other races, if there is a human kingdom as the leading party, all human beings don't want to raise their heads in front of the orcs.

But the problem is that the elves are a vulnerable group, and in recent years, most of the tribes have a very bad living environment, almost all of them can barely survive by lying low and being small, and they have little ability to defend themselves at all.

As for "only punishing the evil head, not harming the innocent"?

This kind of nonsense can bluff others, but it is impossible to bluff the elves - for them who have an extremely long lifespan, the tragic situation when the ancient elven empire fell thousands of years ago is still passed on by word of mouth, it is an indiscriminate and tragic massacre.

For them, this is a catastrophe that comes out of nowhere!

It is said that elves are a naturally proud race, but when survival is a problem, dignity is as illusory as the starry sky overhead.

"The young lady has been in the room and refuses to come out. ”

"Alas!" Richard sighed as he patted his thigh, "I'll take a look." ”

Surrounded by a group of maids, he walked up to Anne's door and gently pushed the door without pushing. I simply used some force to forcibly tear off the door lock.

A slender figure sat in front of the dresser with his back to him, seemingly a little sleek.

"Annie......" Richard only felt that his breath was blocked in his chest, even if he faced thousands of troops on the battlefield, he had never been so depressed!

"You say, if it were a few hundred or thousands of years, would there be no more elves in the world?" Anne turned around, not crying, but her glutinous black eyes were full of indescribable pain.

"No, it won't. There was a categorical determination in the lord's tone.

"How could it not?" Anne's eyes grew red, "it may not take that long." ”

"There are only two steppe elf tribes in our Northeast Province, and Hutt has already brought someone to contact the other one, and we will return to Alpine Fort together in a few days. Richard gently hugged Anne's head and combed through the silky strands of hair, "Even in the whole territory of Pompeii, the Alpine Fort can provide shelter for the elves. ”

"Richard, I don't understand, I really don't. Anne trembled all over, "Obviously, not all elves have to surrender to the Titans, obviously most elves love nature and life, but why do all elves have to suffer for this?"

The elven maids gathered at the door could no longer hold on, and their cries were continuous.

More and more people are coming around, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.

"Because sometimes, the truth can't calm the emotions, let alone turn it into reality. Richard looked up to the sky irritably and let out a long breath, "No matter what, military action against the Elven Kingdom is imperative!"

Although the news of the forest elves' surrender to the enemy had already been circulating in the streets and alleys, the preparation of the nations to join forces was still in strict secrecy, and most of the people present heard it for the first time.

"That's a million people, and the coalition is ready to slaughter all the forest elves?" Anne looked up at Richard, her tone almost harsh, tears falling down in a row.

Facing the woman who had been silently supporting him, the lord of Alpine Fort turned into a finger-twisting tenderness with a hundred refined steel.

"If they were willing to surrender, they wouldn't. Richard gently stroked Anne's face and smiled lightly, "After all, big people have to cherish feathers, and no one can afford to slaughter a country." ”

"Hmm. ”

"Take a good break, don't think so badly. ”

Richard came out of Anne's room and clicked the door shut.

"War, what the hell is war?" the old white tiger Buckland didn't know when it appeared, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"War is your life-and-death violence, and the redistribution of benefits is accomplished through your life-and-death violence. The lord looked around coldly, and as far as the eye could see, it was like a shiny razor with broken hair, which made everyone feel a little cold.

"You'd better pray that we don't lose to the Titans in the war, otherwise I'm afraid we won't even be qualified to be slaves of the country!"
