Chapter 1096: The Orphan of the Zhao Family (2)

An Xiaoyu felt that there must be something strange in this. If you want to understand this question, you must find the person involved in the first place. Qianqian can't ask over there, An Xiaoyu can only choose to ask the other party's party.

So, An Xiaoyu quickly traced the remnants of the law and found the location of this tree cave elf.

The Leonmonds Mountains are so large that they occupy almost a quarter of the entire western border. Cave elves have lived in a few fixed dense forests in the mountains for generations, never leaving for generations, and never actively expanding.

The one that An Xiaoyu found was a relatively remote one in the entire mountain range, and almost half of the woodland where they were located was within the range of the mountain range, and the other half was outside the range of the mountain range. Now, it's quiet in the woodland.

Appearing in the woods in a flash, An Xiaoyu stood at the door of a tree hole, and could feel that the life breath of the tree cave elves inside was very weak, and they were also seriously injured, and the wounds still had traces of explosions, which were obviously left by the attack of human thermal weapons.

There are about 10,000 tree cave elves in the entire forest, but almost half of the tree caves here are empty, think about it, you know that it was the result of that battle, if that battle didn't happen, I'm afraid that the number of tree cave elves here would be able to reach more than 20,000.

When An Xiaoyu observed the real tribe, the tree cave elves also felt the invasion of outsiders. An old tree cave elf came from a distance, with some scars on his body, but obviously the scars had healing marks, and he looked at An Xiaoyu and couldn't see his expression.

The tree cave elves are actually not good-looking, their appearance is very embarrassing to the elves, not as handsome as the twilight elves, wind elves, and fire elves, and they don't want to be as strong as the lava elves and earth elves, but they are a little low and thick, and the whole skin is like green old bark.

Their faces are like a broken bucket made of hollow tree trunks, and moss grows on them, which is a parasite that they carry to protect their skin from various insects, which can bring them partial protection, but they carry it like a piece of psoriasis.

And the face of the tree cave elves, on such old bark and moss, dug a few crooked holes, equivalent to their facial features, a piece of the black hole, and they couldn't see what was inside. Some people even speculate that the appearance of the tree cave elves is actually just their shell, and perhaps the tree hole where the real tree cave elves live is their old bark-like hole.

An Xiaoyu didn't know what the secret of the tree cave elf was, and it was not good to directly probe people's bodies, which was too rude. But An Xiaoyu really couldn't see what kind of expression was on this face, in fact, it was difficult to think that the hole in the bark of this old tree could really move?

"What the hell do you humans want to do? At a time like this, do you want us to have no qualifications to survive in the world? Get lost! Humanity get out of our tribe! You ungrateful race is not welcome here! ”

"Bold!" Shadow Got suddenly stood out from the shadows, looked at the old elf and said, "Don't be disrespectful to adults!" ”

The tree cave elves who climbed out of the tree hole one after another to surround An Xiaoyu were also stunned for a moment, and the old tree cave elves were puzzled, scratched their heads, and looked at An Xiaoyu and Shadow Gert very puzzled: "Humans? With a shadow demon? Are you human or not? ”

"Of course, my family is human, and my adults have no ill will towards you, in fact, neither did the soldiers who clashed with you before. There seems to be something strange about your previous battle, and your lordship is here to investigate that! Shadow said.

It seems that there is better communication between the aliens and the aliens, although the old tree cave elves are still a little suspicious after listening to Shadow Getter's words, but after discussing with several other old elves, they finally said to An Xiaoyu: "Since there is no malice, then please come to the center of the clan land!" ”

Cave elves are short in stature, almost half the size of normal adult men, and the tree holes they live in are also very small. When it comes to accommodation, they don't want to be spacious, but they want to be as close to the trees as possible, so almost every hollow is the size of their bodies curled up.

Therefore, when the tree cave elves entertain other races, they never entertain them in their own residences, but specially set up a place woven of vines in the center of the clan land, similar to a human pavilion, but in An Xiaoyu's eyes, it is more like a huge cage.

But the cage is the cage, anyway, it's just a local custom, the point is to figure out what happened in the original battle, so that the cave elves and humans attack each other, to such a point.

The old elf invited An Xiaoyu and Shadow Gett to the pavilion, and Shadow Got looked at the surrounding tree cave elves and was on guard, for fear that they would suddenly attack. An Xiaoyu was not worried at all, the strength of these tree cave elves could not pose any threat to her.

"I won't say much else, I can already see from your attitude, but your battle didn't cause you great damage. But the human side is really uncomfortable, and a lot of people have died, can you tell me what happened in the first place? ”

The old elf sighed: "It's all my fault! The root of everything is in the human orphan we adopted. If I hadn't adopted him more than a decade ago, none of this would have happened! Maybe this is the punishment that Heavenly Dao has given us. ”

As the old elf told it intermittently, An Xiaoyu knew that more than ten years ago, the old elf led the people back from the direction of the empire, but found three humans running away in a panic. At that time, the old elves had just gotten a lot of technological supplies from the human fields and came back happily, of course, they had a very good impression of the human race, and after seeing these three people, they kindly asked them what trouble they had encountered.

The three humans were two large and one small, and one of them was no more than five or six years old, and he was already scarred from walking through the dense forest. As elves, although they are a little ugly, they are also the guardians of nature and peace-loving beings, so they took the initiative to help these three humans.

They brought the three humans to their land to recuperate, provided them with shelter and simple food, and the injuries of the three gradually recovered. Later, the old elf learned that these three people were the disciples of the Zhao family in the imperial capital, and because the Zhao family had undergone a huge change, they fled here.

Although the old elf was a little silly, he was not stupid, and asked the people to go to the town to inquire about the changes in the imperial capital Zhao family, and then he learned that the Zhao family was sentenced to death because of his communication with foreign countries. For this, the old elf is actually a bit of a dilemma.

As the primeval clan, for the Zhao family with the blood of the ten thousand clans, they should have provided absolute protection. But the problem is that since the Zhao family was placed in the empire as spies, it means that they represent the ten thousand clans of the main battle faction, and the elf clan has always been not in harmony with the main battle faction, so the old elves have no such obligation.

According to the relationship with humans, they have been in good contact with humans all these years, and it stands to reason that they should inform humans of this matter, but once they return to the human empire, they are destined to be executed, which is really unacceptable to the nature of the elves.

Therefore, the old elf has always been very entangled, so he can only temporarily put these three people in the clan land and keep them, and he can't think of a way to deal with them. It originally thought that if humans couldn't find this place, then these three people would die of old age here, anyway, the lifespan of humans was too short compared to the cave elves, and it was only a blink of an eye, so why bother?

But where did the Imperial Army eat dry food? It didn't take long for the Imperial Army to arrive at the Cave Elves' land and demand that the Cave Elves hand over the humans they were hiding. The Cave Elves hadn't experienced a war for 10,000 years, so how could they withstand such a battle? So the whole clan is having a fierce collision of ideas on this matter.

Just when the old elf didn't know how to deal with this matter, he didn't expect the eldest two of the three humans to suddenly stand up and say to the cave elves that the two of them went to turn themselves in, and the only hope was for the cave elves to protect their children.

The tree cave elves could only accept such a result, and after letting the two people go out and turn themselves in, the imperial army really didn't come again. But the old elf never let the rest of the human child go out, from the time he was adopted, until not long ago, he has been living in the clan of the tree cave elves, doing some simple production and life.

The entire alien race of the Tree Cave Elves did not regard him as a different race, and they also cared for him, after all, no one wanted to bear the pain of losing his parents. More than a decade passed in this way, until last month, when a serious standoff arose at the border.

The main battle faction of the alien race looked at the alien territory from afar, and of course the imperial army did not give an inch, and An Xiaoyu had heard of this confrontation, but after all, it still did not fight. Not because there weren't enough soldiers for each other, but because there were too many.

In the process of confrontation, in order to not lose momentum to each other, the two sides transferred more and more troops, and gradually they were able to count on the level of joint army warfare. If this battle is fought, it will not be as simple as testing each other, and a full-scale war will break out in advance.

Sensing this situation, the upper echelons of the empire and the alien races, who were not ready, withdrew their support for the confrontation on this side at the same time, and then the confrontation could not be resolved by the acquiescence of the upper echelons. There was no trace of a confrontation now, as if it hadn't happened.

But when that confrontation took place, the cave elves were really terrified. Their clan territory was in the middle of the entire confrontation, because the elite combat power of the core of the large army on these two sides was connected in a line, which happened to cross the edge of the mountain range, and also happened to cut their clan land in half.

According to the old rules, when a full-scale war broke out, a peaceful race like the Cave Elves living on the border would retreat to a specific area, and the gathering place of the Cave Elves was in the center of the mountain range. So when threatened, they are ready to run out of this place and into the war zone.

But just as they were about to transfer, one accidentally went wrong, and the adopted humans were discovered by the Imperial Army. Later, the Imperial Army thought that they were holding humans hostage and wanted to do something, and the Tree Cave Elves pretended not to know about the Zhao family, only saying that this Zhao orphan was a child they had saved since childhood.

Of course, the Imperial Army negotiated with the Tree Cave Elves in the hope that the human race would return to the Empire, but later Zhao Yu Gu himself said that he was unwilling to go back, so it was over. The next thing was very weird, and when the old tree cave elf said it, his tone was also full of weirdness.

After that, the confrontation between humans and the races disappeared, and we were relieved. Later, the Imperial Army said that they needed us to take Zhao Er to the Imperial for a registration, otherwise it would not be in accordance with the rules. Of course we were willing, so we took Zhao'er to a nearby town to register, and it was still good all the way here. ”

"But on our way back, suddenly a large number of people came up to me and told me that the land had been blocked and that they had been driven out of it. They didn't even see who blocked the tribe's land, only that it was human technology. ”

"At that time, there were 20,000 people who had lost the land they had lived in for many years, and I was also worried, and I didn't know who wanted to attack us. However, before we could figure out where to go, a group of human soldiers, about 10,000 people, suddenly surrounded us from both sides. ”

"I don't know what happened, I don't know why the human soldiers surrounded us, but all of a sudden, we were fighting. I don't know if it's the human hand that moved first, or our hand that moved first, it's always out of control, and after the fight, no one knows why, but I can't stop! ”

An Xiaoyu listened to the old elf's words, and also thought of the situation at that time. The old elf may not know the situation at that time, but An Xiaoyu can make up for it.

At that time, after the humans surrounded the tree cave elves, the tree cave elves were in the center of the entire battlefield, and of course they didn't know the situation at the edge. These humans probably didn't even know what was going on, and suddenly they started fighting, and suddenly found that they had no way out.

Because according to the traces on the battlefield, the entire range of the battlefield is likely to be blocked, otherwise according to the way the Imperial Army fights, it is impossible to carry out a few-to-many attack on a vacant field. With a force of 10,000 troops, surround 20,000 tree cave elves, and want to annihilate them all? Did the commander want to lose his head?

It is very likely that they received some news at that time, and they wanted to take any action against the tree cave elves, probably because they knew about the Zhao family's Yu Gu, and the siege was just an accident and a deterrent. Because of the changes on the side of the tree cave elves, it is likely that the dive side will not know.

It just so happened that the clan of the tree cave elves was blocked, and all the tree cave elves arrived at this place, and it just so happened that it was such a coincidence, and the diving team came with 10,000 people. In this case, knowing that the Cave Elves do not want to fight, there is no good choice but to surround them.

Because letting go of any side may cause Zhao's Yu Gu to be secretly taken away by the tree cave elves. But who knew that a huge change suddenly happened, after they surrounded the tree cave elves, they suddenly found that they were also surrounded by something, and then the battle started inexplicably.

In such a small space, a battle of 30,000 is about to break out, not to mention an ordinary battalion commander, even Beigun and Si Mingyu estimate that they can't control such a scene, and it is almost a miracle to be able to guarantee that the battle will end when they lose one-fifth of their troops.

This is also the tree cave elf itself is not good at fighting, and has not been on the battlefield for so many years, and the combat instinct has long been degraded, otherwise just change the race, 10,000 against 20,000, and injure more than 2,000 people? What about dreaming? It's not bad to survive two thousand.

The old elf said: "I don't know what humans think, since then, we have been waiting for humans to encircle and suppress, but there is no movement on the human side, and I don't know." ”

An Xiaoyu said: "I don't know what happened on the human side, but I can guess that it was probably a third-party force that prompted you to fight at that time, it may be Wan Clan, or it may be some ill-intentioned guy in the human race, and I am not sure now." ”

"What?" The old elf was taken aback, but immediately relieved: "No wonder! No wonder! ”

"The submarine base has been recuperating from injuries, and it is estimated that they are also secretly investigating, and they have not reported the whole matter to the Imperial Military Commission until now, and they treat it as an internal incident, and they don't want to continue to have any huge conflicts with the tree cave elves, they have the same idea as you."

"But why would anyone or any race do such a thing?"

An Xiaoyu sighed and asked, "Old Patriarch, I think the Zhao orphan you adopted was lost in the chaotic war, right?" We have felt the breath of humanity in your clan, and we must have lost it in the first place. ”

The old elf nodded: "Didn't the humans take him away?" ”

An Xiaoyu shook his head: "I also didn't find any trace of him on the other side of the submarine base, I estimate that the purpose of these guys at that time was to fight with Zhao Er on the computer, in order to take advantage of the chaos to take Zhao Er away, and if they want to do this, they definitely need a spy!" ”

"Spies? No way! The old elf flatly denied: "It is absolutely impossible for our tree cave elves to have spies!" ”

An Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "Old Patriarch, we can't let go of any possibility, let's investigate your people!" ”
