Chapter 200: Temporary Promotion

News from the South, which was deeply disturbing to the local Wood Elf people, frequently spread to Unocal King City, and Sheffield I Wood had to make an early trip to Nildagang to pacify the Wood Elf people. On the other hand, the sudden fighting on the front line of the buffer zone outside the Elvenia Gate, the town of Goodbay, the Iron Ore Ridge, and the Highland Mountain, and the second cavalry squadron of the Wood Elf Forbidden Army, which he sent to support, have also been heard from recently.

The young Wood Elf King had been on pins and needles for a few days, and he continued to send at least dozens of Wood Elf scout squads outside the Sheffield border, and the several scout squads that had returned only repeated the same message - they had found the trail of the horseshoe prints of the Praetorian cavalry, and followed the trail of the horses left by General Leglar, the second cavalry squadron of the Praetorian Army was attacked on the way to Iron Ore Ridge, but most of them had already rushed to Iron Ore Ridge, but the area continued to fight, Traffic is completely blocked by goblins and lizardmen, as well as minotaurs, and no scout has been able to infiltrate the area.

"The scouts' replies have clearly indicated that General Legral and Highland Mountain Gilberg are under siege." On the throne of the wood elves, the color of Wood's mood was like the dark green carpet that stretched outside the palace, and the long golden hair of the shawl was slightly messy.

"Your Majesty, please relax. General Legral has been through a hundred battles, and his bravery and strategy are outstanding, not to mention that the Forbidden Army of the Royal City has also been trained well in the past two years, and I think that the brave soldiers will definitely be able to make these demons who crawl out of the place of eternal sleep fall into the quagmire of war. One of the courtiers tried to slap the horse, but the slap slapped Wood in the face.

"Have you ever been in a fight? Your Excellency, Your Excellency, Wood Elves, is truly quite unique and undoubtedly impresses me. Under the crown of the wood elves shining on Wood's head was a pair of blue eyes, full of disdain, and asked coldly, "Remember that you were only a nobleman in the royal city, and you have only experienced such a battle, but you did not pick up the scimitar, and knelt at my feet." ”

The courtier was speechless, and silently retreated to the side with a red face, not even daring to raise his head.

"Nobles who don't know anything about military affairs will shut your mouth for me, and whoever says that he is completely surrounded and thinks that General Legral and his soldiers can hold out, stand up for me, and I will give him three days of food to live in the wilderness for a month, and see if they can still say these cool words." I'm afraid that if he can survive on his stomach, it's his ability! Wood slapped the throne and shouted, "Now that the south has sent a gong wen plank for several days in a row, the people there are already panicking, their emotions need to be appeased by our Huailt family, I also hope to leave for Nilda Gang as soon as possible, of course, there must be hope for the front-line war, what I want to hear is a good strategy!" ”

The silence of the courtiers undoubtedly made the sound of horses' hooves galloping outside the palace of the Wood Elf King clear, and Wood naturally looked at the unicorn statue outside the palace, he also felt that living in the treehouse was a world away from the previous years, he seemed to be a solitary person standing on a high place, in addition to being able to confide in his Troana, those courtiers were indeed selfish under the warm surface, he missed the feeling of the treehouse, and even missed the reclusive Squire Setarman, the old man who must live happily now. Just as he was thinking about the passing of the years, he saw a familiar figure jumping from the jungle horse next to the lone unicorn statue outside the palace gate, carrying with him the way of life and the breath he missed, even if only a little.

"Ah, Sheffield's scout." Wood's piercing eyes quickly caught the new scar on the familiar wood elf's forehead, and he hummed softly.

"Your Majesty, there is an envoy sent by Glenn, who claims to be the Earl of Sheffield, and Stola asks to see him, I remember this guy is a scout." A Wood Elf Janissary strode from behind the courtiers to Sheffield I Wood's side.

"Hmmm! You have a good memory. Let him go into the temple to me at once. Sheffield's breath made Sheffield I Wood feel nostalgic, but at the same time, it also made his mood very complicated, and the new life was a little excited, but also accompanied by a little apprehension.

In a few moments, Stola was walking along the palace gate to the dark green carpet of his audience, though he had only been to the court of Unocal once.

His face looked a little puffy, especially the bruises around the new scar on his forehead, and as he entered the palace, the silent courtiers finally found a common language, pointing and mocking Stola's face, a thin slit under the spider's claw-like eyebrows, and a crooked nose like a mountain, and the words of the comment were quite similar to Crodier's 'exclamation' to Stola, except that the 'carving level is too poor' was changed to 'Forrester's magic work'.

"Stola, how did the leader of the Wood Elf Scout Squad of the Sheffield Border Forest Patrol Team become Sheffield's emissary?" Wood asked directly to Stola, who was walking towards him.

"Your Majesty, I'm so grateful that you still remember my name, I am on the orders of His Excellency Earl Glenn, and I have come to report important matters non-stop!" Stora knelt on her knees and kissed the ground gently, ignoring the ridicule of the Wood Elf King's courtiers, and he didn't think that such a courtesy kiss would make the dark green carpet cry, "Your Excellency the Earl ordered me to go to the Dukedom of Ella to ask for help, and after obtaining a handwritten reply from Duke Walker Easttim of Ella, I immediately set off for Sheffield to resume my life, and then His Excellency the Earl appointed me to report to your Majesty." ”

"It must have been a long and non-stop journey, and it was quite tortuous and complicated, but - Stola, I would like to hear the results of all your efforts." Wood said with some eagerness, in his eyes, only Stola was alive, as if the courtiers around him had been turned into logs, lifeless.

"This is quite difficult for me to understand, the Duke of Ella clearly refused our request for help, and when I returned to Sheffield and gave him the Duke of Ella's handwritten letter to read, His Excellency first angrily accused the Trians of treachery, but after a while the attitude changed drastically, and said that the Trians would give their full support." Stola shrugged helplessly, "I made His Royal Highness the Duke of Ella and His Excellency the Earl of Sheffield almost dizzy!" ”

"What? Duke Ella didn't send troops to support, but in the hands of Glenn Faun he became full support? The Wood Elf King Sheffield I Wood was suspicious, "So there must be a secret hidden in Duke Ella's letters?" Did you bring the handwritten letter from the Duke of Ella? ”

"It must be so, Your Majesty. And I have unwittingly acted as a pawn in Duke Ella's plans, at least according to His Excellency the Earl. But I had a great deal of fun scolding the Trian courtiers. They are selfish and have only money and profit in their eyes. Stola bowed and nodded slightly, then stood up from the dark green carpet, respectfully climbed the stairs, and in front of Sheffield I Wood, handed the wood board of Earl Glenn and the handwritten letter of Duke Ella, and quietly stepped aside.

"May Glenn Fahn not be clever. Duke Ella wouldn't be so happy to send reinforcements, and even if he did, he would make some seemingly reasonable demands from us Wood Elves. Wood looked through the two letters one by one in turn in his own words, and his joy quietly rose to his eyebrows, and then he picked up the Duke of Ella's handwritten book and folded it again, and his blue eyes shot a brilliance similar to the glow of the crown on his head, he raised his head, and looked at Stola's gaze softened, he habitually stroked his cape blonde hair, and pressed the knot in the center of his heart as if untied by these two letters, "Well done, Stola." Although you were played as a monkey by Duke Ella. Apparently I was wrong about the Trians. Plus, Glenn Fahn gives you a chance to get your contribution to Erwinia mentioned by others. Since my brother-in-law recognizes your contributions, I will give you a surname. Let the wood that stands underneath in my court no longer dare to laugh at your appearance. What do you think? ”

"Your Majesty's rewards and punishments are clear! I will honor this surname for the rest of my life. Doing our duty to the green forests that our ancestors have lived in for generations. Stola took a deep breath and hurriedly ran down the steps of the throne, kneeling in worship.

"I hope you will walk the talk, and I believe it will be. Stola, stand up! Wood raised his hand to signal Stola who was kneeling, then looked around at the courtiers, and immediately announced the reward for Stola, the voice was steady and solemn, "I give you the surname of Kaunted to prove your contribution to Erwinia, and at the same time let all the nobles and subjects of the Wood Elves in Erwinia remember your exploits, Glenn Faun truthfully described your loyalty to Erwinia and my family of Celt, and you fought against the Duke of Ella and the ministers of Elwinia with the strength of one person, and did not dishonor the dignity of my Elwinian Wood Elves." , and obtained free reinforcements from the Duke of Ella for Erwinia. From now on, you will have the hereditary title of nobility of Elvenia, and may Forrest bless you with your surname, so that you will always be as swift and decisive as you are now, and you will be going back and forth between Sheffield and Entle in a matter of days, like a man who charges non-stop. Каетд! FОгёзт・могез! ”

The Wood Elf courtier, who had been laughing at Stola's ugly appearance earlier, immediately closed his mouth, and the smile on his face was immediately gone. Instead, there was sparse applause of taps.

Stola Karnted rose from the ground a little funny, straightened her long-sleeved shirt, and saluted Shephell I, the king of the Wood Elves, and gladly accepted the sparse applause of the Wood Elf courtiers.

All this was seen by Sheffield I Wood, the king of the Wood Elves, Stola's ugly face and a little arrogant at the same time, which made those Wood Elf courtiers who liked to huddle in groups hate, which was undoubtedly not a good trait, and he did make a good impression on Wood when he was the leader of the scout squad in the Sheffield Wood Elf Border Forest Patrol Brigade, and the conscientious person who did what he did was because of his loyalty in Wood's opinion, although such a vassal was not very useful as a general, but it was enough to take care of the family.

But when Wood looked around at the 'woods' standing on the left and right sides of the seat again, he couldn't help but shake his head, sighed, and thought to himself, "Although Unocal is full of treehouses and prosperous, that's all. This newly promoted Stola can be used by me, and I will be visiting Nilda Gang in person soon, although there are reinforcements from the Duke of Ella in the buffer zone, but I must put on a posture no matter what, and if I encounter an unforeseen situation, I can quickly support both sides. ””

Wood's mind was settled, and the next plan was completely clear, he refocused his attention on Stola, pinched the armrest of the throne with his palm, and immediately sent out an invitation, "Stola, being an envoy of Sheffield is really difficult for you, now that there is a vacancy in my court, I would like to invite you as my ordinary assistant to share some military affairs and obligations for me." Therefore, I cordially invite you to serve in my royal garrison and return to your military career. ”

"Your Majesty, I am glad that you have invited me to serve in the court and join the army, and of course I am willing to stay! It's my Stola's pleasure! Stola immediately nodded to Wood King Wood, the spider's claw-like eyebrows, her small eyes narrowing into a slit of excitement, but the crooked bridge of her nose still made his whole face look a little embarrassed.

"Then I will inform you of your stay in my court, and I will appoint you as the captain of the first infantry squadron of the third legion of the Wood Elf Forbidden Army, and I will take office immediately! Always at your disposal! Wood stood up from his throne, holding the scepter of the Wood Elf King made of pure gold, and walked solemnly towards Stola, gently tapping Sturah's shoulders with one end. The bright golden unicorn horn drew a golden arc on Stola's forehead.
