The Orc King was interested in my involvement in the battle, especially since it was a major victory.

I couldn't be happier about that.

"Xiao Yi, I see that you are not happy, could it be that Lesta's words have moisture, and it is not a battle of major victories?"

The Orc King's eyes were full of anticipation, and he looked directly at me.

"That's indeed a major victory," I said indifferently, "The elites of the Dwarven Guild and the local adventurers led by the son of the city lord fought to the death against the second battle team of the Knights of the Round Table Guild, and with few casualties, we completely annihilated the second battle team of the Knights of the Round Table Guild. ”

"Isn't that great?" The orc king said, "Why is your expression so lost?" ”

"That's because ......" After a moment of silence, I said slowly: "I have seen the ruthlessness and cruelty of war, innocent residents have become victims of the invasion, there are men, women, old people, and babies, everyone originally had hope for the future life, but at the moment when the butcher's knife fell, all dreams were cut off. ”

"If there is an invasion, there will be tragedy, and if there is a war, there will be death," said the orc king: "If you want to blame, you have to blame those evil people who started the invasion war, if they are willing to keep to themselves, if they will not lead the army to invade the border of our Dasai City because of their own selfish desires, all tragedies will not be staged." ”

"Come here, Xiao Yi" the Orc King beckoned to me.

I walked over, he gently patted me on the back and said gently: "You have been through a cruel war, you have protected my people, tell me, what kind of reward do you want?" ”

Is it rewarded......

Shaking my head slightly, I said in a low tone: "I don't want any rewards, I just hope that Dasai City can become stronger, only when it is stronger, Ari City and Yorkham City will not dare to invade rashly, and only when it is stronger, those innocent residents will not be slaughtered." ”

"How do you think I, York Han, can become stronger?" The Orc King asked.

"To be honest, I don't have any countermeasures yet, after all, I don't know much about the situation of Dasai City, but I know one thing, that is, since Ari City and Yorkham City dare to invade here, it means that the strength here is not strong enough."

"Maybe you're right" The Orc King smiled slightly, turned to Lesta, and said, "Xiao Yi's words, how do you feel?" ”

"The old minister thinks that Xiao Yi is reasonable," Lesta said: "The road to a strong country is the right way, and you must not slack off." ”

"In that case, do you have any feasible plans?"

The Orc King threw out an expectant look at Lesta.

"Your Majesty," Lesta said, "no." ”

The orc king was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled twice: "Since there is none, then think about it, think of a definite and feasible countermeasure, and then report back to me." ”

After that, he turned to me and said, "Xiao Yi will go too." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty," Lesta said respectfully.

I spread my hands: "I'll do my best." ”

......

......

I left the City Lord's Mansion and was walking back when I saw a group of elves walking towards me.

Walking up to me, the elves stopped and stood in front of me.

I saw that they were familiar with each other, and they were all the personal guards of the Elf Empress, so I greeted them with a smile: "Hey, what about patrolling, hard work~"

As he spoke, he was about to take a detour to leave, but as soon as I moved, the elves followed suit, like shadows, always keeping the same distance from me, and inseparable.

"Something?" I asked.

The leading head of the guard nodded at me: "Elder, Your Majesty is invited." ”

Hey, what's going on today, the Orc King just finished looking for me, and the Elven Queen came looking for me again, shouldn't the next one be replaced by the Dwarf King and the Goblin King?

Complaining in my heart, I still went to the temporary residence of the elven queen honestly under the wrapping of the elves.

When I entered the hall, Princess Anarita and Princess Anareta were playing chess, and when they saw me coming, Princess Anarita greeted me, and Princess Anareta made a face at me.

"What about the Empress?" I asked.

"In the room," Princess Anarita said, "go ahead, turn left, yes, that's the room." ”

Opening the door, the elven empress was dressed in formal clothes, was leaning down at the table to review the documents, saw me come in, put down the Chinese piece in her hand, and said, "Close the door." ”

Closing the door, she ordered me to sit on the opposite side again, and exhaled lightly before she said, "Elder An Xiaoyi, please tell me the truth, what did you do when you went back to Moonlight City a few days ago?" ”

As soon as I heard her question, I knew that she definitely knew about it, anyway, the fairy queen didn't say that she wouldn't let me tell the elf queen about it, and now that she already knows, I just said it directly: "I'm going to put down the rebellion, Your Majesty." ”

"Where are you going to quell the rebellion?"

"Ivy."

"Who went with you?"

"All of you in Violet City and my people."

"How many people did you kill in this counterinsurgency?"

It seems that this question is the Elven Empress's main concern, for I can see that her hands are clenched into fists.

"That's a lot," I said, "I didn't count, but it took me half a day just to dispose of the corpses." ”

The Elven Empress's face turned pale in an instant, and she leaned back dejectedly, and she muttered, "I knew it would be like this...... Grandma, why did you send him to quell the rebellion......"

"Actually, it's not as much as you think, Your Majesty," I felt the need to explain, so I said, "Although I did kill a lot of people, but those people together are not as many as those in a medium-sized guild, and these people are all determined to rebel, and it is difficult to quell the rebellion in the hearts of others without killing them." ”

"That being said, but those are my people...... "The Elven Empress sighed, "If you really want to kill, just kill the leader." ”

"Well, you're right," I said, "I only killed the people who took the lead with my own hands." ”

"Didn't you just say that a lot of people died?" The Elven Empress stared at me and said.

"Yes, I didn't kill the others," I said, "some died in confrontations, some died in melee, some died in civil wars, and some ......"

"And some?" The Elven Empress asked, "Finish speaking, what's wrong with some of them?" ”

"Uh......"

It wasn't until this moment that I felt that talking too fast was indeed a weakness that had to be corrected.

"Say it quickly," the Elven Empress said solemnly, "Don't deceive me!" ”

"Well, I said," I said, with a long sigh, "and some of them, the families of those who led the rebellion, have been executed by my order. ”

The Elven Empress sighed, and although she didn't blame me directly this time, I could still feel her sadness.

"Actually, you really don't have to feel sorry for those people, really," I explained, "Those people knew that their family rebelled, not only did they not stop it, but they even resolutely supported it, if you don't purge them all at once, I'm afraid it will threaten your position in the future, so I was ruthless at the time, and I killed them all, in fact, I can't bear it, really, huh?" Don't you believe it, I'm not lying, look at my sincere eyes, they are all pure light! ”
