After the battle, the Fallen Black Giant left behind fifteen thousand corpses, half dead on the walls and half dead by elven arrows. The Dark Elves were even more miserable, leaving behind 50,000 warriors, most of whom were killed by elven arrows.

As for the battle damage, the elves died a total of fifteen squares, and only more than a hundred were injured, which is almost negligible. The Highlanders have been standing against the walls of blood and facing the attacks of the Dark Legion, killing nearly a thousand people, each of them young boys, who have earned the respect of the elves.

In the fortress of dawn, the bodies of the warriors were gathered, carefully cleaned, dressed in ceremonial robes, covered with flowers, and neatly laid out on a firewood pile drenched in oil, ready for cremation.

Marshal Salas stood on a high platform and sincerely blessed him.

"They are all heroes, their lives are not over, they return to the bosom of the Creator to enjoy the glory of victory. The elves will always remember today, always remember the great friendship of the Highlanders. May the friendship between our two nations be immortal! ”

After he finished speaking, the elves began to sing an elegy in a low voice, and in the melodious and mournful melody, Sun Ran, who was dressed in a black robe, held a torch in his own hand and lit the fire bed.

The Highland warriors watched in silence as their former comrades were engulfed in flames, with hatred on their faces, as well as pride and pride.

This victory was created by their own human race. The dark legion that once defeated the elves was defeated by them in turn. The eyes of the highland warriors followed their king, their bodies straight, their heads held high.

After this battle, in front of the elves, the former masters, the human race, which was once a slave race, was completely raised and proud.

The third day after the mournful funeral was a feast of triumph.

During the banquet, Marshal Salas asked Sun Ran with concern: "Your Majesty, how is your health?" ”

Fought with Gelon with all his might before. It seemed that Sun Ran had all the winning side and finally defeated the other party, but he continued to urge the potential and continued to explode, Sun Ran still left a large number of dark injuries on his body, and not long after Gelong retreated. Sun Ran could barely stand.

Luckily, Sivana arrived just in time to take him to rest and didn't let him show his weakness in front of his warriors.

Sun Ran took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "I was just a little out of strength before, but after resting for a few days, there is no big problem." It's just that I can't lead my warriors in pursuit of the Dark Legion for the time being. ”

Originally, the dark army retreated, and it should have gone out of the city immediately to pursue. to maximize the results of the battle. But Sun Ran didn't do this, firstly, for physical reasons, and secondly, his warriors were still recruits after all, and they lacked combat experience, so they rushed out and were vulnerable to the counterattack of the Dark Legion.

Marshal Salas hurriedly said, "This is okay. This great victory has greatly damaged the vitality of the Dark Legion, and it is estimated that there will be no ten years of rest. They couldn't come again. ”

Sun Ran nodded: "That's fine." ”

That's what he wants. The current highland kingdom is still insufficient. These 150,000 troops are already the limit, and they cannot afford any defeat. Even, the whole kingdom is too dependent on him, like a child who has not yet been weaned, he is still very fragile and is in danger of dying at any time.

Sun Ran's goal. It is to build an independent kingdom with a strong vitality and a mature system. This matter is not urgent, it needs time to accumulate.

In ten years, the highland kingdom will be able to accumulate more strength and lay deeper roots.

The magician Jaeger on the side took the initiative to show goodwill: "Your Majesty." I have heard that there are many people in the Highlands who are very studious and thirsty for the mysteries of magic. The war was in a hurry, and we had no spare strength, so only Sivana taught. Now that the situation is better, we elves can send more magic mentors. ”

This is exactly what Sun Ran needs, and he smiled: "You are right, we are very hungry for magic, but we suffer from the lack of a famous teacher. We appreciate you doing this. I promise that elven magicians will be treated the best in our Highland Kingdom! ”

"Haha, okay." Everyone laughed, and the matter was settled.

The victory in this war greatly promoted the friendship between the two races, and the relationship between the highlanders and the elves entered the honeymoon period.

After the banquet, Sun Ran, who was a little dazzled, was helped into the castle to rest by the soldiers, he was indeed a little tired, after lying on the bed, he let his body sleep, the immortal spirit was still awake, and the tentacles of perception quietly poked out of his body and began to explore the situation in the world of the gods.

First look at the south of the highland kingdom, all the way to the south, all the dense forests, after 1,500 kilometers to the south, a large river nearly five kilometers wide appeared, the line of sight crossed the river, and behind the river appeared lofty mountains and mountains.

Between the mountains, buildings can be seen from time to time, and many stubby and strong human races appear, Sun Ran knows that this is a mountain dwarf, belonging to the demigod species of Zeus Olympus.

They are not very large, but they are very strong, strong enough to stand up to giants, and are very good at blacksmithing, and many of the magic weapons are from the hands of the dwarves.

Looking a little further, Sun Ran saw dwarf cities hidden inside the mountain peaks, and in each city, there were also a large number of Terran slaves.

It is clear that this mountain range was the territory of the dwarves, who established a kingdom with a highly developed civilization.

The Highland Kingdom is expanding southward, and it will soon run into them.

Sun Ran's perspective further west, more than 2,000 kilometers to the west, the forest slowly turned into a grassland, on the grassland, there are still a large number of centaurs, this is a grassland centaur, their civilization is not as developed as the mountain dwarves, they are still in a nomadic state, but they are more savage, strong, archery can be compared with elves.

They are the overlords of the steppe.

Tragically, there were also many Terran slaves in the centaur tent.

Finally, looking to the east, extending more than 700 kilometers, the elven city appeared, and the east was the territory of the elves.

Needless to say, there are too many Terran slaves in the city to count.

There are many Terran slaves, which is a good thing, as long as the influence of the Highland Kingdom continues to expand, it will continue to attract slaves to come over.

But then, over time, the elves will certainly have an opinion, because the elves have long been out of production, and most of their food comes from the labor of slaves.

It can be said that the elven empire was built on the blood and sweat of human slaves. Slaves are their foundation.

Sun Ran didn't mention the exchange of slaves with the elves today, because he knew that even if he did, the elves would not agree, but would destroy the previous cooperation.

"Let the slaves come and run on their own. Before the dwarves and centaurs were encountered, there was still a lot of land for the Highland kingdoms to cultivate. ”

Sun Ran thought carefully, the east side is the elves, and now they need to teach magic knowledge with all their might, and they also have to cooperate with them to fight against the dark army, so it is impossible for the east side to expand.

In the west, there will be savage centaurs, and if the forest is cleared, then this area will become a flat river, and it is obviously very unwise to fight with those centaurs who are good at running on the plains.

Moreover, without the barrier of the forest, the centaurs could even run all the way to Highland City, so the barrier of the forest cannot be lost.

In the end, the best plan for the expansion of the Highland Kingdom is to go south, there are dwarves in the south, but there is also a large river as a natural danger, which can be defended and is relatively safe.

made a decision, Sun Ran was idle and had nothing to do, so he quietly contacted Zhao Shan again: "Miss Zhao, how is the situation on the earth?" ”

Zhao Shan happened to be free and replied: "Western saints have always been restless, and I am now learning from the world of gods to carry out the god sealing plan, selecting talents, and forming a new heavenly court." ”

"The saints just let you toss?" Sun Ran asked.

"Hehe, Sanqing has not been silent. Nuwa has no opinion. The two Western Sages seemed to know my background, and they didn't act rashly, they acquiesced in my plan, but they were quietly making small moves, constantly stuffing people into my heavenly court. Among them, it is the favorite guy of the Tongtian Sect Master! ”

"Is there a problem with that?"

"No problem. It's too late for me to be happy. Hee-hee, the people he stuffed over, I used a stick and a turnip. The stick is your prestige, and the radish is a large number of credits, which are basically there and no return. Now, Tongtian is not too congested. Zhao Shan was proud.

Sun Ran could almost imagine her expression, and couldn't help but smile: "Then work hard." The world of the gods is also merging, and I try to delay them as much as possible, and you try to finish it before them. ”

"Yes, teacher." Zhao Shan laughed, she was very happy.

Sun Ran retreated, quietly returned to his body, and began to repair some of the dark injuries in his body.

While he was busy working, he suddenly felt a faint fluctuation of magic power, and then he saw a transparent figure emerge from the wall, and the figure slowly became solid, it was Sivana! (To be continued......)
