Chapter 606: Poignant Love
All the actions and movements of the elves of Ain-Elr were actually constantly watched by a pair of eyes. They didn't know that all their actions were under the watchful eye of the High Elves. Including their imitation of the spire portal, the conquest of the Otherworld, and the birth of Laura Doron and a series of subsequent actions, they are actually under the supervision of the High Elves.
On this day, Arridine led his Red Knight once again across the world and embarked on a journey to conquer the Otherworld.
They were defeated by the High Elves from another world and enslaved for two thousand years. Such a situation and outcome cannot be accepted by the arrogant elves, even if it is the elves who rule them.
In the past time, in addition to the inexplicable changes in nature, the appearance of the Celestial Sphere Convergence has also been the frequent crossing of the world by the El Elves in the past. As they traveled through the world, nature led to the vision of the confluence of the celestial spheres. They frequently open the passage between worlds, frequently open portals, and frequently carry out actions to conquer the other world. They took the local aborigines into slavery and brought them back to their own world as slaves, and did all kinds of labor.
They regard all races that are not elves as inferior races, the realm of barbarians. Refusing to allow a savage race to touch their noble elves, neither mentally nor physically, will not be touched by foreigners. That's why they can't tolerate Laura Doron's union with an 'ugly' human.
On the one hand, they look down on human beings, thinking that they are barbaric and rude, and that they are objects of enslavement. There are also a large number of human beings who are enslaved in their world. On the other hand, nature is intolerant of the bloodlines of racial revival flowing into the bloodlines of humanity. For a combination of two reasons, the union of Laura Doron and the human warlock Craignan was naturally not allowed by the two races.
In the world of Ayn-El, the love between the two of them is not recognized and accepted by their parents and clansmen. And in Craignan's hometown, because of the war with the elves, both official and civil, the attitude towards the elves is also very unfriendly. Therefore, the two from their initial acquaintance to love each other is completely a complete tragedy.
Although their poignant love story was recognized and sympathized with in later generations, for the two at that time, their love and union were not accepted and recognized by both clansmen at all. For this reason, Craignan and his lover Laura Doron have gone through a lot of hardships to return home. As a result, she was killed by her fellow human beings, and Laura Doron also died of exhaustion after giving birth to a daughter in the pursuit of her people.
I have to say that the two are completely manipulated by fate and things. They were born in the wrong era, and they were also played with by the times at that time, and in the end, both sides died with hatred, even if the love story of the two of them was sung and praised in later generations, but what is the meaning to the two who have long since died?
Aretin led his Red Knights aboard the ship of Doom, Negelfa, to conquer the Otherworld once again. Although, they were unable to conquer one world after another like the High Elves, ruling over countless lives and unimaginably large territories. However, there was still an ambition in Aretin's heart, and in the past, this ambition was related to the vision, or the entire Al Elf when it was not ruled by the High Elves. It is impossible to understand what is a colony, what is colonization, and what is plunder. Their previous conquests were only human captivity. After their first world was destroyed by the hoarfrost, their people began a long migration, arriving in a beautiful new world. Almost all the aboriginal humans there were killed, and the remaining humans were used as slaves, and every subsequent action was mainly based on the aboriginal aborigines being taken as slaves. Until, when they met the High Elves and were ruled by them, two thousand years had passed, and the Elves of Ayn-El had opened their horizons. They also realized that they could still rule like this.
It's just that although they want to emulate the behavior of the High Elves, they themselves are not as powerful as the High Elves. They don't have powerful elemental cannons, though they have worked tirelessly. However, research on elemental cannons has been slow, and although some finished products have been made, they cannot be transported to battleships. Moreover, the amount of energy consumed is so great that it is far from being as light as the High Elves.
Therefore, Arritin's conquest of the Otherworld has always been slow to take effect. He can't give a world a great shock and absolute crushing at once, and once the war is in a stalemate, it means that he can't win. What's more, when the elves face humans, they have always had a big shortcoming, the problem of population. They can't have the size of a population that is not afraid of attrition like humans. On the contrary, it is not easy for them to have children, and the loss of each member of the clan is difficult for them to accept. What's more, the current Al Ain Elf is in an extremely weak state. Even if the red knights and mages under his command are all powerful, they can still maintain a state of victory when they can't face the endless sea of people. Therefore, in addition to defeating the humans or other races in the other world, and capturing a part of the population as slaves, it is mainly attacking their big cities and plundering their resources. Whether it is food, animals and plants, metals and minerals, as long as they are valuable things, they will all be taken away. This is also one of the ways in which they learn from the High Elves. Even now, they don't understand why the High Elves want something that seems 'useless'. Still, they have always done so.
Aretin was in a state of end of battle, looking at the vast world beneath his feet, his eyes burning with a thick flame, and that flame contained an emotion called 'ambition'. He was desperate to rule this place and use it as a resource raiding ground for the Elves of Ain-El. Just as the High Elves did in the beginning, one ship, a hundred crews, rules a vast and beautiful world. However, the gap in reality forced him to give up this fantasy that was like a pipe dream.
He clenched his fists and looked at the side of the ship of Doom, Negelfa, on the spacious deck, where there was nothing but the sailors and the knights under his command. He couldn't help but look at the left and right decks, and couldn't help but start to fantasize that there should be a door of elemental cannons. Then, he will be able to steer a ship and lead his knights to conquer one world after another. Then, like the High Elves, build a vast empire, a vast elven empire called Aynael, so that it can compete with the High Elves from the other world!
However, this is also just a fantasy, and he is well aware of the gap between the two races. Burying these thoughts deep in his heart, Arettin took a deep breath of otherworldly air and was about to order a return, but a portal suddenly opened in the sky. Then, in their nervous and vigilant expressions, a huge white ship, with that covetous elemental cannon, slowly flew out of the huge portal. And, next to them, the ships were moored together. At that moment, Arridine almost had the urge to snatch the ship!
