Chapter 648, Principles and Bottom Line
As Iverson retreated, he did not hesitate to destroy the gates of Storm City.
This move caused Luo Ji a little trouble.
But in any case, with the withdrawal of the defending troops, this city finally fell into the hands of Luo Ji.
In this invasion war, he can be regarded as the first victory.
However, after entering the city, Luo Ji's brows have been locked deeply.
He didn't show much joy because he captured the first castle in a short period of time.
At the same time, the billowing smoke rising from the city in the distance made him clearly aware that the other party had set fire to it when he retreated.
Luo Ji was expressionless and transferred a team of soldiers over to control the fire and confirm the situation.
"Your Majesty, you don't seem to be in a good mood......
Gao Wen, who had just relieved the tension in his heart because of a victory, looked at Luo Ji's expression at this time, and couldn't help but ask out loud.
In this regard, I only heard Luo Ji speak lightly.
"It's not a bad mood, it's just that the troops defending the city on the opposite side withdrew too simply, and it is clear that they are preserving their strength, and the next battle may not be too easy to fight."
Luo Ji's words made Gao Wen, who was still immersed in the joy of victory a moment ago, suddenly sober up.
After calming down and thinking about it, it really is like that.
The army stationed in Storm City directly occupied the city lord's mansion and military camp.
Luo Ji has never been interested in disturbing the people.
But this time, he had to grab a few civilians and ask questions.
After the matter was ordered, the soldiers moved sharply.
Soon brought several civilians to Luo Ji.
"Get on your knees!"
The civilians who were brought up were directly pushed to the ground and forced to kneel.
Those eyes, when looking at Luo Ji, looked like a damn intruder.
Hmm-
It doesn't seem to be a problem.
In fact, he was indeed the intruder.
"You're elves?"
Glancing at the pointed ears of the civilians, this was the first information he wanted to confirm.
At the same time, it is worth mentioning that this race is really full of handsome men and beautiful women.
The few who were caught casually were all very eye-catching.
In the face of Luo Ji's question, the women bowed their heads and remained silent, while some men even pinned their heads to the side directly, putting on a hard-headed appearance.
"Your Majesty, a 'hard bone' like this is generally honest after a beating, and if you are not honest after a beating, then you will be killed and replaced with another one."
As he spoke, the tiger who was standing on the side crackled with a pair of fists, and at the same time exposed the two rows of hideous fangs.
There is no doubt that this is what their orc race does.
And the civilians who heard this had obvious horror in their eyes.
A few less timid women began to tremble uncontrollably, and their expressions looked like they were about to cry.
I have to say that as a tiger man, the image of Tiger Xie is indeed fierce enough.
The civilians didn't think the monster in front of them was joking with them.
In this regard, Luo Ji showed a helpless expression.
Compared with the beginning, this guy has converged a lot.
This is a tiger man after all, and you can't ask for too much.
"Okay, Tiger Liberation, they're just ordinary civilians, civilians!"
While speaking, Luo Ji waved his hand and motioned for Hu Xie to retreat.
Then, his gaze fell on the civilians of Storm City, and slowly approached.
"Listen, I don't like to do anything to civilians, and I don't like to hang a civilian at the city gate at every turn, and then let my soldiers burn and loot in the city laughing......"
"As you should have seen, the interior of the city is intact up to now, except for the fire that your own people have set up."
"Because my army has good discipline and adheres to its own principles and bottom line."
"I hate that my principles and bottom line are broken, but sometimes people have no choice in war, and people have to do things that they don't actually want to do, or even hate."
"I don't want that, understand?"
Looking directly into the other party's eyes, the man in front of him just squatted down and looked at her at eye level.
At this moment, the girl's body, which was originally trembling with fear, was inexplicably calmed down.
Even she had a hint of wonder in her own heart.
She actually felt a sense of sincerity in the eyes of this 'damned intruder'.
"So, to answer my question, are you elves?"
Facing this problem again.
The girl who was watching with those eyes couldn't help but speak......
"Yes, yes, we are steppe elves."
"Prairie elves? Other elves? ”
Luo Ji keenly captured this question, and then subconsciously asked.
"His Majesty's own clan is a high elf."
"Hey! Cyrillia! Do you know what you're doing?! ”
The hard-boned male elf over there suddenly shouted angrily.
The body of the girl known as Serella stiffened significantly.
Luo Ji glanced at the male elf who was performing 'impotent rage' with an expressionless face.
Then he motioned with his eyes to the soldiers on both sides to take the male elf and the others down.
Then, he whispered to the elven girl named Serelia......
"What is the difference between a High Elf and a Steppe Elf?"
Hearing this, Cerelia pursed her lips, but didn't say anything more.
Apparently, the male elf's words affected her.
"Don't be nervous, come, drink some water......"
Luo Ji handed her a glass of water.
Cerelia, who drank the saliva, calmed down slightly.
Then Luo Ji confirmed from her mouth, except for some more mysterious bloodline issues.
The easiest way to tell the difference between a High Elf and a Prairie Elf is to look at the hair color.
High elves generally have blonde hair, while steppe elves have turquoise hair.
In addition to that, he asked a few other questions.
However, Cerelia is just an ordinary elven girl after all.
Knowing things is also very limited.
After figuring out as many things as possible, Luo Ji slowly got up.
Then, as if remembering something, he suddenly spoke.
"If you go back to the city now, I'm afraid you'll have to suffer a little crime, so it's better to stay in the barracks first, at least your safety can be guaranteed."
Speaking of this, Luo Ji's voice paused slightly.
"Of course, if you still want to go back to the city, that's up to you."
After speaking, Luo Ji planned to leave.
It hasn't been a few steps yet......
"W-That!"
The elven girl Serilea's sudden voice made him pause.
"What's wrong?"
Taking a deep breath, the man's eyes were still calm, and Cerelia mustered up the courage to ask the question in her mind.
"Could you please answer my question, why did you—why did you come to invade our country?"
Hearing this question, Luo Ji's expression changed slightly.
Then he replied lightly......
"Your Elven King invaded my civilization before and killed two thousand eight hundred and fourteen soldiers in my civilization, while also causing two hundred and seventy-two soldiers to be seriously injured and four hundred and seventy-seven soldiers to be lightly injured......"
