Chapter 284: The so-called measures
Duke Aldrich walked out of a villa satisfied. After a few polite words with the owner of the villa who saw him off, he got into his carriage.
When the coachman saw that the duke had got into the carriage, he waved his whip and urged the two horses pulling the carriage to drive back to the duke's palace. The carriage drove slowly through the streets of the aristocratic district, which had become somewhat quiet because it had been dark for a long time.
Since there were no pedestrians or vehicles on the streets, the driver did not need to concentrate on manoeuvring the horses. Bored, he was bold and began to chat with Duke Aldrich in the carriage in a flattering tone.
"Lord Duke, many nobles have invited you to a banquet recently." Duke Aldrich, who was in the carriage, smiled smugly when he heard the coachman's flattering words. However, as a nobleman's reserve, he did not want to talk to the coachman much, and snorted in a majestic and low tone and did not speak.
The coachman shrank his head, did not dare to continue to speak to Duke Aldrich, and concentrated on his horse. At this time, Duke Aldrich, who was sitting in the carriage, did not show a majestic posture in front of his subordinates, but a smug face.
In the past, although he had a hereditary duke on his head, he did not have a fief because he was only a fictitious nobleman, and he did not hold any important positions in the Kingdom of Gillis; Therefore, Duke Aldrich is not taken seriously in the kingdom.
However, it was precisely because of the lack of attention that Duke Aldrich instead took on the posture of aristocrats. Because his status as a duke can only be reflected if the so-called aristocratic traditions are maintained. When the Night Elves took over the Kingdom of Severn and issued a demand for humanity to free the enslaved elves, Duke Aldrich was the first to come forward and say that he would not do what the Night Elves demanded.
Because in the tradition of the nobility, the elven slave was a very important part. Duke Aldrich prides himself on being the paragon of nobility. Nature will not agree to the destruction of this tradition.
What he didn't expect was this. After he made a gesture. It turned into a fragrant bait in the kingdom for a while. Many powerful nobles and powerful ministers in the court have recently invited him to banquets. Indulging in the almost different attitudes of the crowd from before, Duke Aldrich did not think at all that these people would suddenly respect him, a neglected duke.
In Duke Aldrich's mind, the treatment he had recently received was just. As a duke who strives to uphold aristocratic traditions, everyone should be respected. As for the question of those elven slaves? Ha, that's just a gesture of oneself, who cares?
Duke Aldrich didn't know what to do, and many of the upper echelons of the Kingdom of Gillis had been inviting him to banquets recently. It's also because of his attitude towards elven slaves.
It can be said that now that the Night Elves are showing their edge, among the figures at the level of the Duke of the Kingdom and above, Duke Aldrich is the first to jump out and openly not give face to the Night Elf Clan. The reason why many high-ranking people in the Gillis Kingdom have often invited him to various big and small banquets recently, is actually to keep a close eye on his fate.
If this Duke Aldrich is the last to be fine, then it proves that the declaration made by the Night Elves is nothing more than thunder and rain. In this case, most of the nobles who are reluctant to be beautiful elven slaves do not need to be entangled. And if Duke Aldrich is in misfortune, then the Night Elves' proposal needs to be carefully considered.
But all this, Duke Aldrich, who was very bold or nervous, did not know. He was lying in the carriage fantasizing that he would be the guest of honor of all the upper echelons of the royal capital, and that it would be better for His Majesty the King to give him a piece of territory or something.
However, while Duke Aldrich was thinking about where to find the territory that matched his dukedom status, something happened suddenly. Because it has been relatively out of position in the previous days. Therefore, Duke Aldrich did not have many guards like ordinary nobles.
However, because it is in the aristocratic district, there is no need to worry about security. So Duke Aldrich took only the coachman to a nobleman's family dinner. The coachman was concentrating on driving the carriage at this time, and did not notice that on the empty street, a shadow that ordinary people could not see was coldly watching the approaching carriage.
As the carriage approached the figure for some distance, an almost imperceptible glimmer flashed, and the figure vanished. Immediately after, a muffled grunt that the coachman did not care about, the figure reappeared outside the carriage and quickly disappeared.
Ever since the Night Elves made their declaration, the nations of humanity and the forces have been watching the melee of things. Duke Aldrich of the Kingdom of Gillis jumped out by himself, and in fact, many people were secretly applauding. At a time when everyone feels like the future is uncertain, a timely bird will make everyone grateful.
And today, everyone who is paying attention to Duke Aldrich understands the true attitude of the Night Elves.
The night before, Duke Aldrich had been found dead in his carriage. In the next few magic times, several nobles of the Kingdom of Gillis, who frequently invited Duke Aldrich to banquets some time ago, were also found dead in their homes.
Although the murderer did not leave any information, everyone knew that it was the Night Elves who did it. Because, according to Yu Fei's instructions, after completing the assassination mission, Mavi easily sent those elf slaves to the royal post station in the Kingdom of Gillis.
The Kingdom of Gillis was assassinated by several nobles, but he didn't make any drastic moves. Even under the secret order of the now reigning Gillis IV, the royal post station really cooperated to transport the elven slaves sent there by Mavi to the direction of the Severn Kingdom.
Many people admire the forbearance of Gillis IV, and at the same time understand the helplessness in it. The newly born Night Elves have not figured out their temperament. The only thing that knows what to do is that the Night Elves have mercilessly killed more than a million soldiers in the Severn Kingdom.
Judging from the points exposed, at least the Night Elves will definitely not be good-tempered. The Gillis Kingdom is just an ordinary kingdom, and the strength of the Severn Kingdom is far behind, so naturally they dare not have any objections to the actions of the Night Elf Clan. Who let their country have a brainless duke, pinch your nose and admit it.
In addition, Mavi's strength also made Gillis IV a little shocked and even frightened. One of the nobles assassinated by Mavi was a family that had been inherited for a long time. Among them, there are legendary mages. However, the legendary mage not only failed to detect and stop Mavi when he carried out the assassination, but even killed himself.
The Kingdom of Gillis is not a powerful country like the Kingdom of Severn, and the highest in the royal family's worship is a legendary-level powerhouse. If the Night Elf killer was willing, wouldn't he be able to kill himself? Thinking of this, Gillis IV later cooperated with the declaration of the Night Elves, not only freeing all the elven slaves of the royal family, but even asking the noble ministers to do the same.
In fact, Gillis IV's fears were somewhat excessive. Mavi, who has never been promoted to the sixth level of the hero level, is at the level of his own strength, which is the middle of the legend, and the bonus of a luxurious equipment is also epic.
It's just that the mist skill makes it easiest for Mavi to deal with the mage, so after Yu Fei took a fancy to the lower-level soul crystal, Mavi easily dealt with the legendary mage in the aristocratic family.
And there is more than one legendary-level powerhouse in the Gillis royal family, and Mavi will not take risks easily.
With the example of the Kingdom of Gillis, in addition to the three empires and the alliance of the Candela Mercantile Kingdom, many human nations have released the enslaved elves. Of course, there may be some nobles who have hidden elven slaves and decided not to take them out in the future for their own enjoyment so that others will not know about it, and this Night Elf clan can't help it for the time being.
Some countries with the intention of currying favor with the Night Elves even sent the freed elven slaves to the Severn Kingdom occupied by the Night Elves on their own initiative, just like the Gillis Kingdom.
However, the attitude of the three empires and the alliance of Candela business kingdoms made Yu Fei a little confused. Yu Fei of the Candela Alliance can still understand, after all, they are all businessmen's countries, and they must want to get some benefits from the Night Elf Clan. But why didn't the three empires react?
In the Anthropocene realm of Eslazze, a relatively delicate situation has always been maintained. The Holy Lion Empire and the Botswana Empire are undisguised hostile relations, and the rising star Canaan Empire can be regarded as a left-right existence, but because the Botswana Empire is generally weak, it is more biased towards the Botswana Empire.
The appearance of the Night Elf Race and the intervention of the Red Fruit Fruit in the Anthropocene Realm should be a relatively big impact on the three empires in a relatively balanced state. Whichever empire the Night Elves choose to support will put a lot of pressure on the other side or two.
In this case, the three empires should take the initiative to show goodwill to the Night Elves and release the elven slaves, why is there no movement?
Yu Fei was puzzled, so he simply didn't speculate about the attitude of the three empires. What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of these three countries will definitely show itself in the near future. Yu Fei is now concerned about the elven tribes that are constantly moving into the range of the Night Elf clan's power, as well as the liberated elven slaves who have been transported over.
The arrival of the native elves largely solved the problem of the Night Elves' management of the occupied territory. Although there are many differences and discords between elves and humans, with the power of the Night Elves and the strength of the elves themselves, which are not too weak, they can still play a role in management.
It's just that what makes Yu Fei a little distressed is that the elders of the elf tribe that Yu Fei has contacted by his clone are all clamoring to meet the young of the World Realm Tree. (To be continued......)
