Chapter 227: The Elven Race's Dilemma
After being silent for a long time, Elder Alex said slowly, "Then it depends on what kind of help you can give to the elven race. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Before the green-skinned monster appeared, Elder Alex must have rejected Aisha without even thinking about it. But after a few months of fighting with the green-skinned monsters, even the deep-seated elves began to have a series of problems.
Among them, the biggest problem is that several important materials in the elves are beginning to be a little insufficient.
Consumables such as arrows are good to say, because the elves are rich in marksmen, so the reserve of arrows is actually quite sufficient. However, considering that the number of arrows in the elves is limited after all, the magic archer of the series like Erin has begun to gradually increase the use of magic arrows formed entirely by magic power.
This is undoubtedly an additional burden for the magic shooters, and it will also affect their strength to some extent, but it is not a big problem for the time being.
The gap in the armor is not large, and the elves who are good at natural magic can use various plants to make armor when necessary, such as wooden shields and rattan armor. Although wooden armor is afraid of fire, the elves who live in the forest have many means to extinguish fire.
The real shortage is actually iron ingots and food.
There are no iron mines near the Evergreen Forest, so in the past, the elves had always traded with other races to buy some iron ingots directly. Most of these iron ingots became arrows for arrows used by the elves, and a small number became metal weapons such as swords.
After the appearance of those green-skinned monsters, the trade between the elves and other races was naturally temporarily suspended. As the battle lasted for a long time, the elven clan elders who noticed that the consumption of iron ingots was much faster than they imagined, they all began to worry.
The lack of iron ingots made the weapons and armor in the hands of the elven warriors gradually unable to be repaired, which also directly led to the decline in the strength of the melee professions unique to the elves such as the sword dancer, and the casualty rate naturally increased a lot.
Fortunately, the elders of the elven clan woke up the traditional allies of the elven clan in time. After the Treant warriors joined the battlefield, the elven warriors who had been at the forefront of the battle were given a chance to repair.
But if they can't get enough iron ingots, the elven warriors, who have a considerable number of weapons and armor that need to be repaired, will definitely not be able to set foot on the battlefield again.
The elders of the elven clan will not let them die in vain.
And if the problem of iron ingots can be tried in other ways to deal with it, the lack of food is an urgent problem.
The Evergreen Forest was indeed large enough, so big that even if the population of the elves living in it doubled or tripled, they would be able to obtain quite enough food. Therefore, the elves in the past did not go out of their way to stock up on food. The most cautious elves only store enough food in their homes for a week.
But after the arrival of the greenskinned monsters, things are different.
Compared to the elves who don't usually eat much, the green-skinned monsters are completely a group of big stomachs who can eat as much food as they want. On the first day they came to the vicinity of the Evergreen Forest, the green-skinned monsters hunted all kinds of magical beasts. Whether they were flying in the sky, running on the ground, or swimming in the water, the green-skinned monsters were all scraped away, and then all stewed into broth.
With such a simple way of cooking, it is obvious that the taste of the food will not be good. But the green-skinned monsters don't care, they just have meat to eat, and it doesn't matter what it tastes like.
The reason why the elves clash with the green-skinned monsters is precisely because the green-skinned monsters have killed several elves who are in charge of guarding, and they are also stewed.
The elven archers who rushed to hear the news were furious when they saw that their fellow clan had become a meal on the plate of the green-skinned monsters.
After that, the elves and the green-skinned monsters officially went to war.
Somewhat beyond the elves' expectations, the number of green-skinned monsters was far greater than they had imagined. And the swarming green-skinned monsters not only brought considerable pressure to the elves, but also brought a great disaster to the various beasts living in the evergreen forest.
Unlike the elves who worship the way of nature, the green-skinned monsters mercilessly swept away all kinds of beasts on the periphery of the evergreen forest, and turned them all into food.
The beasts that escaped from the mouths of the green-skinned monsters naturally did not dare to continue to live in the range of the green-skinned monsters, and fled out of the forest or ran into the depths of the forest.
With the exodus of wild beasts, the elves, who have a large reduction in the number of prey they can capture, have naturally been affected. If it weren't for the fact that the green-skinned monsters don't eat fruits and vegetables, the elves wouldn't even be able to fill their stomachs.
However, the variety of edible fruits and vegetables in the evergreen forest is also limited. Therefore, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the elves fighting on the front line, the elders of the elven clan began to consider whether to limit the daily rations of other elves.
One of the reasons why Elder Alex persuaded Dorakaka to leave was that there was not much food in the elves.
It was precisely because of this, considering the predicament of the elves, that Elder Alex planned to hear how much help Aisha could give.
Although he didn't really have much hope.
After listening to Elder Alex's words about the two supplies that the elves needed, Aisha blinked her eyes and said confidently, "In this case, we can really help." ”
"Oh?"
Elder Alex was immediately interested and listened attentively.
"In addition to us, the family of the missing Helen has sent several mercenary groups and adventure parties to the continent of Melt to find her. There are not many of them, and it should be easy for you elven scouts to spot them. Aisha smiled and said, "As long as the mercenaries give enough money, they will definitely be willing to sell their weapons." And because adventurers often have to face all kinds of problems, each of them must have more than two sets of weapons on their bodies, and as long as the price is right, adventurers will definitely be willing to sell those spare weapons. ”
"These acquired weapons may not be suitable for the elves, but as long as these weapons are reheated, the iron that the elven warriors need to repair their weapons and equipment will be gone."
"Of course, this can only be used for emergencies. However, as long as we entrust some adventurers or mercenaries to return to Helen's family with my handwritten letter, Helen's Henderson family will definitely be willing to trade with the elves with a large amount of iron ingots and food......"
This kind of trade can bring considerable benefits to the Henderson family, so the Henderson family will definitely be happy to "help".
"How do I know that you won't be another group of invaders?"
Elder Alex looked straight into Aisha's eyes, his expression not angry.
"If it weren't for those green-skinned monsters, maybe the situation you said might have happened. But now those green-skinned monsters that eat people are our common enemies! Aisha looked at Elder Alex with a calm expression.
Looking at Aisha's clear eyes, Elder Alex was silent for a moment, and finally nodded slowly.
"I'll let Erin make contact with those humans."
