Elond is five hundred and thirty years old this year. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info at this age, he can be said to be the elder among the wood elves.

He had lived through the best of times, when the World Tree was everywhere in the Eternal Realm. He also lived through the worst of times, being driven out of eternity and displaced. After experiencing the ups and downs, he gradually began to doubt his beliefs: Did the Wood Elves rely too much on the World Tree?

Elond wants to share his life experience with his people, reminding everyone that the only one they can rely on is themselves. But most people are still immersed in the fantasy that the World Tree is omnipotent.

Rather than being high up, the World Tree requires the Wood Elves to grovel to serve. Elond's teacher, Degushu, was much more amiable.

Degushu always admonishes everyone that nature is the best teacher. Wood elves should learn to get close to all things in nature, not in the shadow of the World Tree.

Under the education of the Degu Tree, many elves have learned to support themselves, and they no longer make excessive demands on the World Tree.

It is no exaggeration to say that now that Shenmu City has left the World Tree, it may go back a few years. But without the Degu tree, it is basically not far from collapse.

Elond did a lot of calculations, he never thought that the day after the World Tree woke up, the Degu Tree had disappeared without a trace.

The traces that Elrond was able to find were the fragments of the ancient tree left under the sacred tree, and the ancient tree of war also suffered misfortune. Elond finally recognized a reality: the spiritual leaders of the two camps of wood elves, the insurmountable mountains in their hearts; Under the oppression of the Divine Tree, there is no ability to resist.

"I wonder how many days we heretics can survive under the fury of Lord Shenmu?" A feeling of infinite sadness suddenly rose in Elrond's heart.

"The master said that as long as Shenmu City is still there, the followers of the Degu Tree can exist forever." Ehsina walked slowly into Elond's room. Her status was too noble for anyone to stop her, not even to give Elrond advance news.

Erond was not surprised by Ehina's sudden arrival: "You're here to kill me?" Yes, I'm the leader. No matter how much Lord Shenmu forgives, my sins will not be forgiven. ”

"Wrong," Eshina's calm voice sounded, "You are a student of Lord Shenmu, and your actions are approved by your master, so there is no sin in it." ”

Elond looked up suddenly: "What did you say?" I'm a student of Kamimu-sama? I don't quite understand what Her Highness means. ”

Eshna nodded without changing her face: "Actually, you understand it very well in your heart, but you just don't want to face it." Whether it is the Degu Tree or the War Ancient Tree, it is awakened by the power of the master, and it is part of the fragments of the master's will. ”

"Impossible, if the Degu Tree is the will of the World Tree, why would he go against himself?" Elond was an old goblin who had lived for hundreds of years, and he wouldn't easily take Ashina's word for it.

Ekhina, who is worthy of being the high priestess who inherits Zhong Huan's power and will, opens her mouth to lie: "For the continuation of the Wood Elf race, after the master learned the reason why the Wood Elves were expelled from the Eternal Realm; He once said that you are too dependent on me, like a baby who cannot live without his mother. ”

"The master wanted to change the situation, so he didn't respond to my call. That's why those two dryads evolved into ancient trees at a critical moment, do you think it's all a coincidence? An ancient tree that has just awakened its wisdom actually knows so much knowledge. You haven't even wondered where this knowledge comes from. ”

Faced with Eichna's question, Elond was silent.

It doesn't matter if she's telling the truth or not, or if she's just deliberately lowering her profile just to win people's hearts. This result is already the greatest kindness that the temple can release, and if it is not interesting, maybe the punishment of the divine tree will be smashed.

"Does the High Priest want me to take everyone back under the command of Lord Shenmu?" After much thought, Elond decided to accept the carrots handed by the Temple.

"You don't have to make any changes, just leave everything as it is." Ahna said calmly, "That's what the master meant. ”

Elond was now completely confused: "What the hell is Lord Shenmu thinking?" How do I have a bad premonition? ”

"Whatever you think, come with me to the barracks first. I will bring the will of my master to Amindogo. Ehna turned around and went out: "The drow elves are about to move, Shenmu City can't be messed up now!" ”

Elond looked at the back of the High Priest, his eyes changing several times, and finally he hurried to follow.

That night, Amindogo of the Ancient Tree camp met with Elond and Ehna in the Temple. Under Zhong Huan's gaze, the three giants reached an agreement on the division of secular power.

The content of the agreement includes the following points: 1. The War Ancient Tree faction allows the Shenmu Temple to arrange a group of junior priests into the army, and prioritize the safety of the priests.

2. The city hall took over the garrison of Shenmu City and provided more food, equipment, and medicine to the barracks.

3. The combat skills taught by the Ancient Tree of War are not limited to the learning of the elf army, but should be popularized to every Wood Elf, and strive for each Wood Elf to have the ability to protect themselves.

Fourth, the temple is open to marriage, and there is no restriction on interfering with believers' marriage, and there is no restriction on intermarriage between the three camps.

Reconciliation treaties like these are written on a long page, and the leaders of the three camps take blood oaths and sign them. Later generations called this meeting the "Kinoshita Alliance". It means a covenant signed under the witness of the sacred tree.

For some reason, when Zhong Huan heard this title, he always had a subtle egg pain: this name reminded him of the days when he watched the video of the foodie big stomach king in District 11 at a certain station.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and Zhong Huan now deeply understands the meaning of these words.

The 30,000-strong wood elf society has already divided into three camps. In the eternal realm of more and greater human beings, what should the social structure look like there?

While still pondering, a sudden uneasy emotion swept through Zhong Huan's heart, and he immediately cast his thoughts in the direction that made him feel uneasy.

"Ahina, call the alarm immediately. The drow elves invaded, numbering seventeen hundred. ”

The entire Shenmu City has a strength of 2,500 people, of which 1,000 are reserves and 500 are garrisons. Only a thousand people are warriors, qualified warriors hand-picked by sword nerds.

There are more than 30,000 people in the city, but there are 2,500 full-time soldiers, and every ten wood elves have to support one warrior. The degree of recklessness in Shenmu City is second to none no matter which world it is placed in.

After receiving Shenmu's warning, the whole city became nervous. However, in the face of the enemy's invasion, the three leaders clashed again.

Elond advocates the settlement of disputes through peaceful dialogue. Amindogo was adamantly opposed, insisting on killing the black elves. Ahina felt that it didn't matter, she just had to resolutely carry out Shenmu's orders.

The two of the Ancient Tree Sect were arguing, and neither of them could convince anyone, and finally they both set their eyes on Eshina: "High Priest, do you think we should negotiate or war?" ”

"The master said that if the wood elf wants to stand up straight, he must first prove that he is a strong man." Eshna said slowly: "Are the three elements of becoming a strong man clear to both of them?" ”

"First, there is great power; second, know how to use this power; Third, use it for everyone to see! ”

Armindogo's face was overjoyed: "Lord Shenmu agrees that we will go to war with the dark elves!" I'm going to gather the troops. ”

"I will send fifteen priests with me," Aishna continued, "and you need remote support, provided by the temple priests; There were warriors who were wounded, and the priests were in charge of healing; Someone needs protection, and the dryad will rush to the front line. ”

"In this battle, the master will be our most powerful backing!"
