Chapter 244: Snow Ridge Village
"Those salted fish want to make peace?" Charles looked incredulously at his captain, Woodward.
At this time, it was already early July, and it had been a month since Charles returned to the Durian City area from Osmanthus City, and now their 168th Brigade was stationed in Dashujiao Village, south of Durian City.
A military camp was built across the road next to the village of Big Tree Foot, because it was a transportation hub, and a number of troops were stationed in the barracks to allow reinforcements on the coastal front in case of trouble.
At breakfast today, Woodward and his comrades in the team informed the Fish-People that they were going to make peace.
The place where the barracks ate was a large shed, and the elves who were eating breakfast around the long tables this morning were talking about it, and the other elves were just as startled by the news as Charles.
"What's going on?" Charles asked.
Woodward said as he ate the jam bun in his hand: "Two days ago, Osm's salted fish asked for peace talks through a clear summons, saying that war is not beneficial to both sides, and that they are willing to take the first step towards peace with us, and it is said that they are also planning to marry. ”
Then a group of elves around the table all looked at Charles with a wicked smile on their faces.
When it comes to marriages between royal families, it seems that Charles is one of the candidates.
Charles ignored the gang of guys who didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, and instead ate pancakes filled with white sugar by himself.
After living with the elves for so long, he has already understood the normal eating habits of the elves, although they often eat meat, but they prefer fruits and vegetables, and they also love sweet, so there is a bit of a weird style of painting with jam-filled buns.
"Your Highness," Dean quipped Charles, "what do you think about a possible marriage?"
Seeing that those guys didn't let go of themselves, Charles thought for a while and said, "Our ancestor is going to work a little harder. ”
For a moment, there was a choking and choking sound in the meal.
The ears of these elves are so good, they have been waiting to see Charles's excitement for a long time, but what they didn't expect was that little Charles threw the pot to old Charles.
This word became a joke in the barracks for a while, but no one expected that this joke slowly spread in the Durian City area with the logistics convoy, and then spread throughout the sea of elven trees from west to east, and the more it spread, the more it became more and more flavorful.
Charles didn't know about this, for after they had eaten breakfast, they set out to camp in a village to the west.
There is no obvious boundary between the west of the Elven Tree Sea and the southern part of the Forest Sea, which separates the east and west of the continent, and the key depends on what the elves can hold.
Snow Ridge Village is one of the westernmost villages on the Elven map, and Charles was confused when he first heard the name, how could there be a place named after snow since it had never snowed in this area.
A large flock of sheep "bleated" on the road, it was the nearby villagers who were driving the sheep into the mountains, and Charles and he could only wait for the sheep to pass.
The elves are more rough in herding sheep in the mountains, first find a valley, plant a circle of thorny plants at the mouth of the valley and the top of the mountain on both sides to make a wall, and drive the sheep into it so that they can move freely in the valley. Usually, you only need to patrol the surrounding area to eliminate the demonic beasts that come to eat the sheep and put some feed containing medicinal herbs, and when the time comes, you can catch the adult sheep and drive the lambs you just bought in.
These sheep are mainly used to make parchment, because the elves have a great demand for parchment paper, and they have to solve a part of the production themselves. Wool and mutton are secondary.
As the sheep walked by, there were sheep poop eggs on the ground, and Charles had to put on his mask to filter the air.
The other team, which was stationed in the village where the sheep were raised, could only walk towards their station with sheep poop eggs.
After walking for more than an hour, the team walked out of a mountain pass.
The scene in front of him made Charles stunned for a moment, it can be described as "Mountain Dancing Silver Snake, Original Chi Spider", the canopy of the mountain in the distance is covered with snow-white spider webs, which really looks like snow.
When Charles and the others arrived in Snow Ridge Village, it was almost evening, and many animal trainers had returned to the village from the mountain under the control of spiders that were one size bigger than footballs. Some young elves in their two hundred years old were following behind with a long wooden stick wrapped in layers of snow-white cobwebs, like marshmallows.
The soldiers stationed in Xueling Village this time were all from the 168th Brigade, consisting of a fifty-man infantry squad, one archer and a ten-man mage team, an eight-man squad of the assault detachment, a medical soldier, and a squadron leader of the 168th Brigade, Slim, in charge, for a total of exactly eighty. After unloading the supplies, the accompanying logistics team went back to the barracks in Dashujiao Village.
The plan is that Charles will be stationed here for three months and then switch guards with the rest of the team.
Because of its location on the western border, there is a camp for adventurers outside Xueling Village, and now most of the adventurers have joined the army, and the camp can be used as a garrison camp when it is vacated.
The local villagers and militia had already cleared the camp because they had already learned that there was to be a garrison here, and long tables had already been set up in the open space of the playground, and the cooks and girls were serving steaming food.
After the handover of Commander Slim and the village chief, Charles and the others entered the barracks, and then raised the military flag and Charles's royal flag.
The villagers in the barracks were frightened by the sudden raising of the royal flag, and the girls who came to the barracks to help were extremely disappointed when they learned that the royal was still a child.
By the time the soldiers had finished arranging the barracks and storing supplies, the sun had already set.
At the long table in the playground, after a brief presentation by Slim and the local village chief – the main thing was that the two of them were also hungry – dinner began.
The sumptuous dinner prepared by the villagers was not exquisite, but it was generous.
Charles looked at the large pot of roasted golden chrysalis in front of him and didn't know what to do, he looked at his comrades around him and found that they were also confused.
Although they basically have adventurer experiences, they eat what they eat when they are out on adventures, and Charles has not eaten roasted bugs and the like, but it is the first time they have seen bugs at the main meal.
Then a few of them guessed the boxing, and finally decided to try Charles first.
Charles, who lost all the way to the end, regretted in his heart why he didn't open the mentally handicapped halo just now, and scooped a cigarette butt-sized pupa back with a spoon.
In the eyes of everyone, he was ruthless and put the still warm pupa into his mouth.
"Click!"
The golden shell of the chrysalis is unexpectedly crispy, and you can taste the taste of salt and some spices, while the meat inside is tender and has a good taste.
In order to prevent the gang from rushing to eat with him, Charles looked afraid.
