Chapter 25 No One Sleeps Tonight
In the dim light, three figures gathered. The three of www.biquge.info people sat around a round table. One of them was very short, barely over 1.4 meters. The man to his left was tall and burly, more than two meters tall, almost touching the roof. To his right was a very beautiful lady. Her skin was as white as cream, and her long green hair was draped behind her like a green carpet.
The characteristics of the three are obvious, at a glance, it is clear that they are definitely not ordinary humans, and then look at their thick beards, prickly muscles and pointed ears, they are clearly dwarves, barbarians and elves.
"Have you all received Joseph's proposal?" The dwarf was the first to speak, looking at the other two, he asked in a deep voice.
The elves and barbarians looked at each other and nodded.
"I don't know whether the proposal of mankind is a blessing or a curse." The female elf shook her head and said.
"Anyway, as long as we kill those rebels, we can officially become citizens of Essis." The barbarian said in a gruff voice on the other side.
"Barbara, you barbarians just don't have brains, if it's all that simple, do we still need to have a meeting here!" The female elf said with disdain, "We don't know if those humans really need our help, what if it's just an excuse to lure us into a trap?" β
Barbara the barbarian scratched his head and bowed his head.
"Okay, Rosherine, don't be so exaggerated, if the human target was us, we would have done it directly, would there be more at this time?"
"Then Olli, what should we do?"
Rosherine looked at the dwarf. Olli touched the long beard on his chin, pondered for a while, and slowly spoke: "The most important thing is whether we must go to war or not. Judging from today's movements, the rebel offensive is very strong. And the guards were sparse at the head of the city. I see danger in this battle. β
"Then what else are we going to fight, I don't think it is better for us to join forces, just hold on to the night, go out of the city, and stay away from this battlefield."
"Can you escape? As long as you are still in the human world, you will never be able to escape. Can you still go back to your forest? Ollie was not at all interested in Rosalyn's proposal. Not only him, but even the naΓ―ve Barbara was not interested in pursed his mouth.
Ollie was right, it couldn't help but be him, Barbara and Rosalyn were both people who couldn't return home. Olli spontaneously led his people to the human world in search of hope for the revival of the dwarves. The barbarians, led by Barbara, were taken prisoner in the tribal wars and later escaped. If they return to the tribe, then there is only one result, and that is execution.
This is even more true of Rosherine, who was also a glorious Ranger before leaving the Elven Kingdom. But she ignored the ban of the clan and left the great forest and threw herself into the human world. Although she later discovers that the human world is far from being as beautiful as she imagined, it is full of ugliness. But after breaking the rules, she can't return to the elf kingdom anymore.
"Actually, this could be an opportunity." Olli broke the silence and said. Rosherine glanced sideways at Ollie, waiting for Olli to continue.
"I think everyone should be quite satisfied with the current days."
Rosherine nodded undeniably, although this is also a gathering place for filthy humans, but after all, it is much better, there are no rampant hooligans and robbers here, and there are no stupid civilians who have never seen aliens and are scared to death.
Barbara smiled fiercely: "That's it, it's delicious and delicious here." And the government people let us work on the construction site, which is much better than before. At least the food in the canteen on the construction site is still enough, and there is no need to worry about not having enough to eat. β
Barbara's innocent appearance caused Rosherine to roll her eyes vigorously, and Ollie agreed, "Yes, Essis has indeed made our lives much better since the alien regulations were enacted. In the future, there is no need to eat and sleep in the open and live a wandering life. β
"Moreover, the Essis side will not necessarily lose this war."
"Why?"
Olli slowly explained: "First of all, although the fighting was fierce during the day, there were no holes in the most important city defenses, and the walls were very strong, and there was no intention of collapsing. Moreover, in terms of the materials for defending the city, whether it is bows and arrows, fire oil and rolling stones, etc., they are all prepared. This shows that Essis had been prepared for this war for a long time. Secondly, have you ever seen a time when voluntary conscription was still relied upon? β
Rosherine nodded, and replied, "That's right. At this time of the war, they even talked about voluntariness, did they really plan it a long time ago? β
"When Joseph came to look for him today, I felt that something was wrong, there was no panic on his face, not even a little pressure. As if the battle had nothing to do with him. I think this is probably a test for us. β
Olli's words rang in Roseline's ears like a thunderclap, and her face changed dramatically, and she didn't have the same composure as before.
"You're saying they're testing us?"
"That's right, I'm afraid this battle is to test whether we aliens have different hearts and make contributions. Before I left the highlands, the priestess told me that humans are cunning and cannot afford to be early. If we don't show the value we deserve, then we may be marginalized by them. It's bad for each of us.
But on the contrary, if we show that we have an irreplaceable role, I think that it is not just the rights of citizenship, but also the system that human beings often talk about. β
"System? What is it? What are we going to go in there for? Barbara scratched her head in confusion.
"The system is a name that came from the Academy of Athens, which means the government of Essis, the court of the principality. To put it simply, if you enter the system, you can become an official in the future. Ollie patiently explained.
"Oh, I see, then I see. It's good to be an official, I heard that the officials of the human world are like the chiefs of our tribe who sacrifice, and they pick the spoils first. I want to be an official, too. Barbara said excitedly.
However, Rosalyn was not so happy, she said worriedly: "Is it really just like this? I've always felt that humans must still be paying attention to something. β
Outside the city, trebuchets kept throwing stones, rumbling and rumbling. The noise kept many people awake. Even the consul's residence, far away from the outer city, was brightly lit.
"Joseph, how is the work going?"
"Teacher, rest assured, I have sent people to distribute leaflets in the city, and tomorrow I will organize special people to give speeches in various parts of the city to boost morale and motivate people."
Zeno nodded, satisfied with Joseph's answer, but asked with some doubts, "I heard that you went to find those aliens?" What to do with them at this time, as long as they don't make trouble. β
Faced with the teacher's question, Joseph smiled and shook his head.
