The elves are coming. Minas Ihir's banner emerged from the gates of the camp and gradually approached the count's tent along the hard road that Feige had reinforced with spells. There were not many elves coming, and more than thirty horsemen came steadily in two columns, and the elven rangers in green cloaks sat upright on their horses, even without saddles.

"The elven flag has changed, and now it's a giant tree growing on an island?" Feige squinted, looking at it with Eagle Eye meditation. "Yes, there is a variation of the Elvish word 'sea' around the soil underneath the tree. Are these elves coming ashore, still thinking about their prophesied island to sink?"

"What does this have to do with us? It's been so many years since the prophecy was made, isn't the Elven Island still there?" Count Hall was also not polite to the Elves, mainly because there had been an Elven Assassin who wanted to kill his son. "Who made that prophecy??'s island hasn't sunk, and the elves have come to land—neither of these things has my heart. ”

Who made the prophecy?Is there anyone else who can make the prophecy but the priest of the Goddess of Truth and Thunder?Feige has also studied prophecy, divination, and sorcery, hoping to introduce them into his own magical system. The rune spells were indeed completed and could be cast, but not once did Feige be able to predict accurately.

Whether it's thinking right or wrong, whether it's something as small as a fall or something like tomorrow's weather, the prophecy in the magic system has never been right. Maybe it's not a problem with the spell spell either, but a problem with Feige. He believed that the future depends on his own efforts, that his mind and hands can change the future, and that time will produce countless branches in the future. The soul doesn't believe in it, so how can magic be effective?

"Father, did the elves say who is in charge?"

"Leader? Do you compare elves to mercenaries who pay for their lives? Don't say such things in front of elves, frivolous language is only used by frivolous people. "The Count has recently rediscovered his passion for educating children, and has taken almost every opportunity to correct Feige's mistakes. "The new lord of Minas Ihir will come, Saidron Kawariryo. ”

"It's not Heli Liang, it's Ho Limiang. Feige corrected, "In Elven language, it means diamond-like dew." ”

"If the dew forms a river, it's cool. Count Hall laughed.

"Frivolous language only ...... I didn't say anything, don't care. Feige said twice, skipping it. This time, the elves can send the lord of Minas Ihir to personally lead the warriors, whether it is thirty or three thousand, the meaning is the same: this is a choice made by the entire elven territory in the face of conflict, and its political significance is extraordinary.

Soon, the Knights approached, and Feige met Sedron Holimian again. They had met in Minas Ihir some time ago, and Fege had the impression of being as calm, haughty, and simple as the other elves. This time, Lord Sedron wore a fine satin robe with fluttering sleeves, an emerald belt, and soft chain mail inlaid with sparkling diamonds or yellow soft gold. He carried the golden bow on his back and rode on a horse as white as snow. The mount was slender and light, with its swaying hair and tail like a swaying cloud. On the horse's forehead is a copper plate with the coat of arms of the island's giant tree, which constantly reflects the sunlight ahead.

"Is this trying to blind you?" Feige commented.

Sedronce came to the tent and pushed his hands on the horse's back, fluttering to the ground like a gymnast. Despite wearing a suit of chain mail and trimmed with various ornaments, there was not much sound in the dismount. He bowed to Earl Hall from afar, then walked over with open arms. Count Hall laughed and greeted him with open arms. The two pairs of arms meet halfway through to form a circle, encircling the laughter of brothers.

Sedron was a very handsome young man among the elves, with a slightly elongated face with the melancholy of the sea, and a pair of eyes like a full moon hovering quietly on the surface of the sea. When he laughs—even in this kind of polite smile—it is as beautiful as the sparkling moonlit sea.

"The elves are to stand on the side of justice, to follow and support justice to victory. Sedron's lingua franca isn't very standard, but you can tell he's trying: "That's why I'm here to do a little bit." ”

"It's good to be here. Count Hall said, "Can you introduce me to the warriors of the elves?"

"My lingua franca is not very good, and there are some words that I don't know how to say. ”

"It's okay, you can speak Elven, I'll let my son translate it. Feitch St. Hall, you've met in Minas Ishil before, so I don't need to introduce you again, do I?"

"No, no, who of us doesn't know the name of Fege Saint Hale?" said Saidron, turning to elven language, "the one who eliminated the bandits and calmed the sea, a powerful mage who holds the power of space in the palm of his hand, and is also a wizard advisor to the Imperial Court of the United Kingdom of Hoya. You are still young, but you have done enough to amaze the elves of longevity. ”

"Thank you for the compliment, but I'm still young after all, and I still have a lot to learn, especially from the elves who have a long culture and history. Feige glanced at the elven knights behind Sedron, and said, "These are the Hunters?"

"Exactly. Sedron began the introduction, and Fitch was in charge of the translation. "The Ranger is the equivalent of a human light cavalry, but mainly uses salvo and long-range attacks, supplemented by scimitars. They are armed with both large and small bows, and use specially made arrows that can easily penetrate metal armor. They are best suited for scouting and harassment, but are more nimble archers on frontal combat. ”

By saying this, Sedron wanted to prevent his elves from being used in a frontal engagement. The elf population is not large, and it is really one less to die, which is very distressing. Count Hall also understood, and took the opportunity to say: "How can you let the elves who come from afar work too hard? If there is a conflict with the church, it is natural that we will be at the forefront of fighting for the honor of the king!"

"Thank you Earl for your understanding. This time, in addition to the thirty Hunter Rangers, the Elven Elders also sent fifteen Druid Spellcasters, who would arrive in about three days. Fed was also surprised by Saidron's news: "The elven druids have the ability to heal wounds and diseases, they can also purify food and water, and a single berry can solve the dietary needs of an adult for a whole day." They are willing to provide convenient services to the king's army, so that the balance of victory is more tilted on the side of justice. ”

Druids are spellcasters peculiar to elves, and they also use divine magic, but their beliefs are somewhere between the Thunder of Truth and the Creator, and they focus more on the throne as "the steward of the world and its nature" than on who the god is seated on the throne. They have their own rune language system, which is completely different from the divine runes of the goddess, but they are not the magic runes of the creator. Feige believes that the druids have somehow hidden their runes to avoid being learned by outsiders. When he "killed" the elven island, he was curious about what the druid runes were, and wanted to sneak a peek at it, but unfortunately he was discovered and missed the opportunity.

In the culture of elves, becoming a druid and studying druid spells is a lifelong pursuit, and no elf will give up halfway, let alone slack off. As a result, each druid will always grow stronger and stronger, becoming a nightmare for the elves and a nightmare for their enemies. Their spells use the power of nature, mimicking natural phenomena, from wind, rain, thunder and lightning to flying insects and beasts, all of which can be manifested with their spells.

"I wonder if I can ask the druids for some knowledge? I'm very interested in elven spells. "Elven druids worship nature, and I believe that a stable, continuous, and circulating natural system is very important for all living beings, and that the spells that protect nature and the spirit behind them are worth learning," Feige said. ”

"I'm more than willing to make this happen. Sedron said: "It's just that the elven druid group is relatively independent, and I can't order them to do anything, I can only convey your wishes to them." ”

Well, at least this time the elves are telling the truth. Feige nodded noncommittally, then continued to follow the elf, translating his words to his father. The introduction was essentially a polite process, but Sedron went on to give a detailed introduction to each of his thirty rangers. From their names to their past exploits, from their combat specialties to their habits of life, even the artistic tastes of these people are repeated.

Earl Hall listened with relish, or at least it seemed. Feige looked at the Count's increasingly irritable soul as he pondered the elves' intentions. Sedron did this on purpose, surely to observe the Count's reaction in order to determine what prospects he would face in the King's army.

In fact, no matter what he did, the prospect was certain: there was a relatively independent lowland in the easternmost part of the camp, and it was the elven's residence. Before the elves moved in, Count Hall had already moved the positions of some lords, arranging the more confidant army near the elves to cut them off from the rest of the camp. Feige had been busy with this matter the other day, but he didn't know that the elves had returned, and thought that this tossing was just a test for him by the earl's father.

How empty and isolated is a clearing that can hold a thousand people, and now only thirty elves live there?, but Count Hall also said to Feige: "As long as the elven lord of Minas Ihir comes, then he has fulfilled his historical mission." He's already made a statement with his actions, and it doesn't matter if he leaves immediately. Originally, the king's army was here to arrange for some lords to leave according to the remaining time of military service, and the elves were actually the same. ”

The elves had no objection to this arrangement, and after Sedron asked Count Hall for some tents, he moved in with his men. Every day, they do not leave the camp, but operate in that "wide" area, and their only contact with the outside world is some forage and bean fodder for the horses.

During the camp swap, a team catches Feige's attention. It was a team led by a small lord named "Black Water Lord", and there were only forty knights and servants, but there were two hundred standard boxes carried, and they marched through the entire camp in a mighty way, which was even more spectacular than the relocation scenes of some big lords. This standard chest was produced by Minas Ihir and copied elsewhere, and was mainly used in the transportation of teleportation circles. Although not a valuable or rare thing, such boxes are not widespread enough, especially among the military. Earl Hall hadn't asked Feige to make a teleportation circle so far, and it stands to reason that there shouldn't be so many standard boxes.

Fei Qi thought that it was a big customer of the teleportation circle, belonging to this "Black Water Lord" nobleman, so he chased after him curiously. It turns out that this Blackwater Collar is none other than Benny and her mercenary group.

Dressed in burly armor, Bennie completely concealed her feminine features. She wears a realistic leather mask on her face, and she looks completely rude and vicious, with little flaws. She also held a cigar with herbs in her mouth, and the smoke made her voice thicker than that of a man. If she hadn't taken the initiative to reveal her identity to Feiqi, Feiqi really couldn't have guessed.

This is not a transformation, nor is it an illusion, and the soul fire can only see emotions and states, and never shows its name! Feiqi's Eagle Eye Meditation has a powerful observation power, but when he looks closely, he finds that Beni's fake face is a little strange, and he is still not 100% sure that it is a disguise.

"You ...... This makeup technique is so powerful, can you disguise yourself as anyone?"

Beni took the cigar off her mouth, fixed it in the circle formed by the crooked index finger, and after a cloud of mist was spewed, she said in a hoarse voice: "This mask is very difficult to make, and you have to adjust it little by little in front of the person's face for a long time." And it's okay for someone like me to disguise himself as a big-headed strong man, but there's no way to do that kind of small-headed and small-faced person. ”

"That's right, after all, you can't compress a human skull to fit into a mask. ”

"This disguise technique has helped us a lot during our time as mercenaries, especially when we meet unruly employers - I'll talk about that later. Bennie reached out and stroked her fake beard, and said, "Feige, I heard that the elves are coming, and they are the elves of Minas Ithil, what are they doing here?"

"They are here to show their support for the United Kingdom of Hoya nobles, and nothing else. Fei Qi said: "But what are you doing here? Aren't you going to be a mercenary to earn money, how did you become a knight of the lord?

"Hahaha, how is this possible! I told you, there is a real lord in my ranks, and he is a nobleman of Feinberg. Although the manor is actually gone, it was burned down in the war, but all the identities are still there, and they can still respond to the call of the king's army. We found that it was more reliable to join in this way than to write a letter asking to be a mercenary. ”

"I can understand that, but what do you come in to make a living? Where did you get so many big boxes?"

"Those boxes are not ours, just our escort. Now that many nobles have learned to use teleportation circles to transport supplies, they just need to be transported from Tawu Harbor City, so we will take care of this section and earn some hard-earned money. In fact, before joining the King's Army, we had already undertaken some of this work. Bennie smiled and said, "In addition, we can also take on the miscellaneous duties of guarding, patrolling, correcting the ground, and maintaining armor and weapons for some nobles. We don't earn much, but we are familiar with the road, and we have enough for people to eat and chew. ”

Feige shook his shoulders and gave Benny a thumbs up, but he felt in his heart that it was wrong. While an army of lords is meant to be like this, always loose and always going their own way, it's too much to hire someone else to do the work for you, isn't it? This army is too far from Feige's standards, and the Knights of Hell certainly won't be like this.

"Bei Ye!" Bennie's father, the tall guy beckoned not far away, "It's not too early, you have to work for your employer! Don't you still want to see the elves?"

"I'm coming!" said Beni, hurrying away, "I'll be able to take a break in two days, and I'll be able to play with you two!"
