Chapter 1555: The Dilemma of the Silver Moon Elves (3200 Words Big Chapter Asking for Votes!!!! )
However, from the first day of Queen Xinbu's public appearance in Silvermoon City, the Silvermoon Kingdom, which was once the number one power in the Northlands, immediately swept away its decline and began to respond strongly in all aspects. First of all, the first to be unlucky are the Black Orcs, who have been doing nothing about the news of Queen Simbu's return.
Perhaps the last time the orc king Hawkdork and the Banne Church Pope Magellan teamed up to attack Queen Xinbu successfully, giving them the courage to be like Liang Jingru, making them mistakenly think that they could send Queen Xinbu to the abyss again. Therefore, in the face of the news of Queen Xinbu's return, only the black orcs didn't care, what to do, and still continued to launch an offensive against the western part of the kingdom, hoping to seize more land.
Since the last time he was beaten by Solam, which led to a series of disasters and greatly reduced the population of the black orcs, the black orcs have been silent for a while, and there are all kinds of internal strife. But Hawkdor, who was soon considered to be a great talent, won again, and this time Hawkdor's centralization of power was more complete. So after almost two years of peace, the Black Orcs once again launched an invasion of the Silvermoon Kingdom.
And this time, it can only rely on the Silver Moon Kingdom itself, and there is no next Solam to turn the tide.
However, Kailan Sinoda has done really well in the past few years, so it can barely be regarded as maintaining the balance of power.
But when Queen Hinbu returns, everything is different.
This grumpy magic electorate, the first time he appeared, he directly gave the black orcs a legendary magic - extreme deep cold, turning at least 30,000 black orc troops into ice sculptures. Before this desperate power, both the Orc King Hawkdorf and the Pope of Bane Magellan wisely chose to shut up, and honestly began to retreat to the east, shrinking back.
There's no way, it's a pipe dream to sneak up on a legendary mage who is ready. In fact, Huo Keduo and they are also very aware of this, and the reason why they did not take the initiative to retreat before was also because of the uniqueness of the black orcs.
In the eyes of the black orcs, retreating without a fight is definitely a shame within a shame. If Hawkdorf dared to do so, then what awaited them would be round after round of rebellion and challenge. In order to avoid this, Hawkdor, even if he knew that it was going to be bad, could only bite the bullet and pretend to be a large clove of garlic.
At least that way, he would be in a lot less trouble. Hawkdorf knew very well that the enraged Queen Hembo would help him persuade his brainless people to retreat. And the reality is true, Queen Xinbu's shocking education immediately calmed down those hot-blooded big-headed soldiers. This also made the retreat smooth afterward.
Anyway, in the eyes of many black orcs, the Silver Moon Kingdom is completely cheating. As soon as he came up, he gave a shot of legendary magic, who could stand it.
Legendary spells are not without a price, at least the land covered by Queen Xinbu's legendary spell will definitely be an absolute dead place for at least ten years, and combined with Queen Xinbu's strength, this time may be doubled.
According to the measurements of the Northland Witch Colony later, the temperature in the land covered by legendary spells and the surrounding fifty kilometers of land was about twenty degrees lower than in other places, and the temperature difference was even greater the further you went to the center.
In other words, even in the hottest summer, it is a land of snow and ice.
This is especially on the land of the Silvermoon Kingdom itself!
……
In short, after being slapped honestly by Queen Xinbu, the Black Orcs immediately gave up their strategy against the Silver Moon Kingdom. I can't help it, I really can't afford to mess with it. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Queen Xinbu was attacked and disappeared in the first place, and the black orcs were given a hundred dares and did not dare to occupy the land of the Silver Moon Kingdom, they would have grabbed a vote at most and left.
However, the fact that the black orcs can't mess with the Silver Moon Kingdom doesn't mean that they will be completely honest. After seeing the riches of the outside world, it is difficult for the Black Orcs to return to the harsh Aenochok Desert, and they yearn for fertile land.
And the orc king Hawkdork was not willing to end his hegemony, so this group of black orcs adjusted their strategy in time, and they changed their goals.
Silver Moon Elf!
First, Hawkdorf gathered the army he could muster and invaded the Delimbiel between the High Forest and the Far Forest directly through the Far Forest! It is a fertile land protected by forests and rivers. There are many humans living here, but they are not under the jurisdiction of any human realm, they are ruled by the Silver Moon Elves. This riverland is protected by mountains on the north and south sides, and is protected by two forests on the east and west sides, so it is a rare paradise for the whole of Faerun.
Although agriculture here is not developed due to the elves' paranoid concept of 'environmental protection', it is also the most important food producing area of the Silvermoon Elves, and if it weren't for this land, the elves would not have dared to risk cutting off trade with the Silvermoon Kingdom and the Silvermoon Kingdom.
After the land was occupied by the Black Orcs, the elves immediately panicked. No way, although they own the treasure land of the Riverlands, their paranoia and arrogance have caused the food production here to be not outstanding, so after the war with the Silvermoon Kingdom, their food reserves have been tight.
Fortunately, now even the last grain reserves have been lost, and they are completely numb now.
It is true that the Supreme Forest is very rich, but there is no food in the forest, and the fruits and nuts provided by the forest alone cannot support an entire elven kingdom. In the past, the elves could still rely on trade with the Silvermoon Kingdom to replenish their food, and even if they lost the Riverlands, it would not be the end of the world.
But now they and the Silvermoon Kingdom have met each other! If you want to get food again, it's a pure dream!
Not to mention anything else, in the entire Silver Moon Kingdom, from commoners to nobles, no one still has a good impression of the Silver Moon Elves, and they wish the elves would die. At this point, it is in vain for Queen Simbu to try to reverse this situation. Queen Hembo is always a queen, and she must consider the voice of her own people.
So the Silver Moon Elf Royal Court is really in trouble now.
While actively organizing troops to retake the Riverlands, they began peace talks with the Silvermoon Kingdom.
Unfortunately, their mission was killed as spies by the knights and soldiers there as spies when they set foot in the Raven Valley, and they completely ignored the envoy's banner. At the same time, the troops of the Raven Valley also ignored the armistice demands of the elven troops on the opposite side and began a major counteroffensive, driving the elves out of the Raven Valley area in one fell swoop.
The attack on the envoy was a very serious crime, which made Queen Simbu angry, and he directly sent the knights and soldiers who participated in the attack on the envoy to prison. Far from being treated harshly, these soldiers and knights were treated as heroes, and the people of the entire Raven Valley not only pleaded with the queen, but also gave them the title of heroes, which was sung everywhere.
The nobles of the valley were also very knowledgeable, and they explained it to the queen like this.
The reason why those soldiers attacked the envoy was because the commander of the unit at that time had a miserable look in his eyes, and he didn't recognize it as the envoy's banner at all. As for the other knights, the officers persuaded them, but the commander with poor eyes was extremely stubborn, thinking that his judgment was correct, and the other knights could only attack unless they disobeyed the commander's orders.
In wartime, what is the end of disobeying military orders? The death penalty is carried out immediately!
There was no way, so I could only fight in a daze.
As for the soldiers? Get rid of it, the soldiers are all civilians, okay, those who haven't read a book, of course, what the commander says.
So none of these people are responsible, and the blame goes to that commander!
So, what about the blind commander? I'm sorry, he's burped and died from the elves' counterattack.
This is the case, the queen is so holy, why wouldn't she pursue the crimes of a group of innocent people, right?
……
What a good explanation, it completely picks everyone out. As for that commander? Hehe, that name was made up by a nobleman temporarily, and it turned out that the commander was honorably demoted to deputy commander......
In the face of this rogue explanation, Queen Hembo didn't know what to say. These nobles knew very well that they couldn't deceive the queen, so they didn't intend to deceive at all.
The queen wants to explain, and that's it.
They believed that their queen would never debunk their lies, after all, how could a magical electorate with a reputation for strength put up with the elves' previous actions? They did this, just to give a passable explanation to the international community, as for the silver moon elves, ha~~~! Who are they?
The elves protested, but the protest documents didn't reach the queen, and they were thrown away by some careless paperwork, maybe the toilet?
What can Queen Hembo do? Fight against your own people to get justice for the Silver Moon Elves?
How can it be!
So after a few noises, the elves didn't mention it, and they could only send envoys again to sue for peace again.
……
It was also in this context that Solam left Okasukan. He had already made up his mind to visit Avalon this time. By the way, he wanted to bring the bones of his cheap parents back to Avalon and bury them in the ancestral cemetery, so that they could rest with the ancestors.
Solam's father's bones are easy to find, right over there in Waterdeep, where Mavis and the others buried them with their own hands. The only trouble is Solam's bones, which have been brought back to the High Forest by the elves. Soram needs to retrieve his mother's bones from the Silver Moon Elves this time.
Of course, Solam's request couldn't have been so polite. So he needs to determine Queen Simbu's attitude, if Queen Simbu and the Silver Moon Elves turn their faces, then it would be best, Soram can completely help Queen Xinbu and make those pathetic spiky ears kneel in front of them, and respectfully deliver what Soram wants.
If Queen Xinbu doesn't plan to go to war, then it's fine, as long as Queen Xinbu is neutral, Soram can handle it herself, maybe the black orcs are a good target to use, anyway, Soram only needs bones, and other things Soram doesn't care.
As for Queen Simbu's other ideas, Soram felt that they could also be discussed, anyway, what he wanted, the Silver Moon Elf had to hand it over, and if those pointy ears refused, the scene would be ugly.
Mavis could naturally hear the murderous aura between Solam's words, which was what Mavis was most worried about. Once Solam's mother, Lilia, died temporarily, her biggest wish was not to let Soram know the truth, and she was afraid that her children would have hatred for the elves.
