Chapter 11: The Forest of Life

The bleak autumn breeze gently blows the snow on the top of the mountain, and even the warm sunlight can't melt it.

It took less than half a day for the advance troops to reach the Forest of Life, while the support forces changed their route, not passing through the Forest of Life, but through the Terrasu Gorge to the Demon Realm, thus shortening the distance by nearly one-third.

After the advance army of the human army arrived at the Forest of Life, Narsai ordered them to rest in place, the Forest of Life has not had an influx of humans for hundreds of years, the most recent was when the human army withdrew three hundred years ago, but now, the atmosphere in the Forest of Life is not very good, the smell of gunpowder is diffused everywhere, and conflicts can occur at any time.

Of course, this situation was expected by Nalse, which was normal, and although there was a peace agreement, it did not erase the history of the two races, and it would be strange if the elves and humans could live in peace.

But that had to leave the kid and his friendly elven friend behind.

As far as the current situation is concerned, this point must be resolved, and if they go to crusade against the Demon Realm in this state, it is better to go home and nurse as soon as possible, if they really like it.

"All soldiers, continue to rest in place and do not cause trouble. Don Quixote, who was not at ease, spoke again.

"Yes, General. The soldiers replied in a sonorous voice.

"What do you want to do?" asked, Don Quixote looked up at the majestic trees in the distance.

"Oh, Don Quixote, seriously, you don't look like a general right now, like a bastard who wants to be lazy in every possible way. Don Quixote's laziness frustrated Nalse.

Although this is not a good evaluation, Don Quixote did not show any irritation, but quipped in the tone of Nassey: "As far as I know, only those bastards who are pot-bellied, contented, and only think about how to make their lives more comfortable are called generals." ”

"Perhaps, but no matter what institution needs this kind of fool in the dark to be a substitute for the dead, doesn't it?" replied, Nalse smiled and stood up, "We need to meet the Elven Queen first, it seems that she doesn't mean to welcome us in the slightest."

"Oh, of course, I just wish she wasn't so arrogant. Seeing Narse get up, Don Quixote also clapped his hands and stood up.

Looking at the two people who were quickly moving away, López dragged his heavy body and tried his best to follow them.

Damn, why did he have to wear these two things honestly?

It's actually not bad to complain once in a while.

"Welcome to the Forest of Life, Human Guest. The queen had a false smile on her face, but no one cared if she was happy or not.

Stretching out their hands not to hit the smiling man, seeing that the queen's attitude was quite friendly, Nalse and Don Quixote leaned over lightly and respectfully saluted the elven queen.

Then, Don Quixote said with a smile on his face: "Your Royal Highness, I think your time should be extremely precious, at least, you should not like nonsense. ”

"Of course. When she replied, she did not reply, but stared at Don Quixote, as if to let him continue.

"No, no, no, it's not me. Shaking his head and smiling, Don Quixote put his hand in front of Narse: "Please also let me introduce my beloved lieutenant, Narse, and then, he will satisfy your curiosity." ”

After listening, Narse sighed helplessly, but this was actually a good thing for him.

By taking everything into his own hands, he can avoid something disgusting, so he doesn't think too much about it.

Glancing up at the Queen, Narse quickly spoke again and expounded his opinion: "Your Royal Highness, the relationship between elves and humans, I don't think I need to say more, if the two races join forces in peace and quiet, it will be very difficult, and with such a scattered army to crusade against the Demon Realm, there will be no chance of victory." ”

Listening quietly, the queen nodded in agreement: "And what is the opinion of my beloved human friend?"

To be honest, he didn't like this hypocritical face, but he had to continue to express his opinion: "It's just a fairly simple truth, the whole army, we only need one commander, the only one." ”

"Interesting idea, but do you deserve it?" said Narse, who was standing beside the queen, when Rocky, who was standing beside him, objected.

However, Narse had no interest in arguing against Rocky, and the pride of the elves had long been deeply engraved in his bones.

At this time, the elf queen on the side also shouted his name at the right time, signaling him to calm down.

Listening to the queen's voice, Rocky narrowed his eyes slightly, but didn't say much, just silently took a step back.

"We don't have much time and we have to decide as soon as possible. Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Don Quixote, who looked unusually leisurely, silently added.

"Of course, my esteemed human friends, you should already have a solution, don't you?" a false smile that didn't retreat for a moment.

"You're too polite, I'm just a savage human, and I can't think of any new way, only the most primitive way. Narce's cold voice echoed through the palace, and the queen annoyed him.

Except for the disgusting political face, there is nothing else, no decision is made, even if she fails, she can get rid of it immediately, it's really damn it.

However, he added: "This is also a helpless move, if you can think of something more practical, I can obey it." ”

"Hmm. The Elven Queen nodded, and then continued: "Then let's do it, the duel will be held in the Elven Arena, how about it?"

Her tone was inquiring, but it didn't seem to mean the slightest inquiry.

"It's up to the Queen. "After a salute to the Queen, Nalse and Don Quixote withdrew.

However, López, who was honestly waiting outside the palace, was a little helpless.

"Hmm, let me guess who this is?" Aya's voice suddenly came from above her head in boredom.

This made López subconsciously look up, and then saw Aya sitting on a tree with her legs crossed, with a gloating smile on her face.

"Oh, the Forest of Life is beautiful. Slowly standing up, López clumsily accosted Aya.

"Of course. In her affirmation, Aya gracefully jumped down from the tree, but her curious gaze focused on López's wrist, "Let me guess what it is, well, some stupid ornament? ”

With that, Aya shrugged her shoulders again.

"Maybe my master is the real stupid, he said it's armor. While explaining, López waved his arm.

"Well, maybe the uglier the better, at least that's what he thinks. As she spoke, Aya winked at López, then jumped back into the treetops again, her face propped up with her hands, the corners of her mouth curled, and her green eyes were full of smiles: "Oh, it's pitiful." ”

The twilight sunlight gently caressed Aya's hair through the branches, making her beauty hazy and divine.

At this time, Narse and Don Quixote had just come out of the palace.

He looked at the two men and couldn't help but sigh softly, "If the relationship between the two races could be so friendly, things would be much easier." ”

News of the duel soon spread between humans and elves.

Narse, who was leaning against the tree with his eyes closed, suddenly turned his head to look at Don Quixote: "You are really leisurely, Don Quixote, but there is no work in vain, and this matter requires at least a box of gold coins, oh, so it is not a bad thing." ”

"Don't you think you have to be loving?" Don Quixote was stunned, and then laughed helplessly.

"If that would get me gold, I'd love it. Then Narse's eyes narrowed at once.

However, Don Quixote also has his own thoughts, and this matter is not a trivial matter of time, because no matter what the result is, it will directly affect the morale of the army.

For him now, there is no chance of winning this battle at all, because he has no idea of victory at all, and the only thing he wants to do is to protect her hometown.

After thinking for a while, Don Quixote turned his head and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, I'm really more suitable for a job full of copper smell." ”

"Ah, it's nice to be rich. As he spoke, Nalse grinned, and then he raised his hand to pluck a piece of grass and gently put it in his mouth.

After that, there was a long period of dullness.

While Narse was already waiting impatiently, an elf belatedly approached the two men, and when they got closer, she handed a green letter to Narse.

"At such times, I don't forget to send a challenge letter, which is really annoying. Nanese took it apart and glanced at it, instantly gaining a deeper understanding of the elves' old-fashionedness, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows

"It's not time to complain, it's time for us to go. To tell the truth, Don Quixote still had some doubts in his heart, but he seemed to have forgotten that Nalse had been as famous as Rocky for a long time.

The arena was already surrounded by humans and elves, and it took a lot of effort for Lopez to squeeze in, originally he didn't want to come, but who knew that Aya was called away by the elven queen, and life is always so impermanent.

"Human, I will teach you how to observe etiquette. In the middle of the field, Rocky's voice was quite cold.

"If you're going to talk to me about gold, I'm probably a little interested. Narse laughed loudly, and there was no fear in his eyes.

The next moment.

The sound of swords clashing with swords reached the ears of everyone and the elves.

The battle, from this moment on

Narse's size is nearly twice as large as Rocky's, but Rocky's strength is almost equal to Narse's.

But it is worth mentioning that Narse is not interested in male faces, and as soon as he staggered, he directly took the knife in his hand back and protected it on his chest.

This action caused Rocky's sword to lose its focus all of a sudden, and it quickly slid forward against Narse's knife

Seeing this, Narse unceremoniously said that his backhand was a knife.

However, Rocky's reaction was very fast, and when he saw the offensive coming, he jumped back directly and decisively, quickly opening up the distance between him and Narse.

"Elves are not slow to escape. Carrying his knife, Narcse looked at Lodge with a smile.

This made Rocky's eyes even colder, mocking, and always useful for haughty elves, but there were a few other things mixed in, and then, he slowly retracted his sword from its scabbard: "You'd better keep your damn mouth shut." ”

Then he drew his bow from his waist and mounted three arrows, which rushed towards Narse as he let go of his hand.

But to be honest, this speed was still a bit unsightly in Nalse's eyes, and he was about to raise his knife to block the arrow, but the arrow suddenly disappeared from his eyes.

Feeling the rich energy fluctuations in the air, he was slightly surprised, and his mouth was muttering in confusion: "The smell of magic?"

But Rocky wouldn't give Narse a chance to react, as the three arrows had already flown towards Narse from different directions.

Sighing, Nalse plunged the knife into the ground with his backhand, and then, the powerful knife qi quickly expanded in all directions, and the three arrows were directly broken.

"It's finally getting interesting. Rocky smiled.

But Narse, who was standing across from him, became extremely troubled.

At the same time, the human side began to cheer loudly, and the momentum began to rise at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Of course, the elf standing on the right side is completely different from it, still standing quietly in place.

The fight in the field continued, jumping to dodge Nalse's attack, and Rocky fired another arrow at Narse, this time it didn't seem to be so fancy, just an extremely ordinary arrow.

But Narse didn't think so, he cautiously raised his knife and slashed at the arrow quickly, but his hands were numb from the shock.

"Ray?" Muttered to himself, and then he picked up his knife and rushed straight at Rocky, he didn't want to delay any longer, or he might have some new trick up his sleeve.

Rocky, who had been cautiously observing the situation, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then shot another cut at the rushing Nalse, but the crosshairs were somehow offset.

The moment the arrow flew out, it directly turned into a small area of sword rain, locking all the routes of Narse.

Feeling the aura of thunder and lightning magic in the air, Nalse quickly rushed towards Rocky, and then opened his mouth and roared, the roar resounded in the Forest of Life, and the sound shook López's head a little dazed.

Rocky was directly swept out by the air wave, and when he came back to his senses, Nalse's knife was already on his neck.

The outcome was decided in an instant, but Rocky was not as annoyed as Narse had imagined.
