Chapter 595: The Elves in the River Valley

In the face of such unwarranted accusations, although the power of the Elves of Ainshidi has been greatly damaged, it is impossible to allow human beings to slander them wantonly. They see this unfounded accusation as an excuse for humanity to start another war. On the contrary, humans also see the 'White Boat Captivity' incident as an attempt by the elves to start a war, or to test their bottom line. The three powerful dynasties entrenched in the north began to operate, and preparations for war began. Although we are not able to start a war at present, the preparations for war are still quietly underway. The tax collectors began to set out from the capital, and took elite knights to collect taxes, and food and money were distributed to various places. For all classes, including the humanoid race, the vast strata that had already collapsed because of the great collapse of society have once again become miserable.

The actions of the three most powerful dynasties in the north of the human race naturally can't hide from the Ainshidi elves. The horses went to collect taxes, and the wagons loaded with grain and money continued to march towards the capital. All actions have shown that war is coming. The Elves of Ainshidi are uneasy, and although they are stronger than humans, they are far inferior in population. Hundreds of years of uninterrupted fighting have already reduced the population of Ainsidi to an all-time low. It also takes time for the new generation of young children to grow, and they have enough time to grow up enough for humanity to reproduce for another generation or two. Under the odds, the sages of the Ainshidi tribe pessimistically found that the decline of their clan was an inevitable result.

The High Elves did not care in the slightest about the war that was secretly being prepared between humans and the Elves of Einshidi. After they had taken the captivity, they found a hidden river valley in the place where they had first stayed, and began to let the young men who had taken it from captivity to cultivate the land and choose a good location to build a city.

Humans who have been taken captive have naturally seen humans. When they saw the High Elves, they naturally mistook them for the Elves of Ainshidi. Thanks to the benefits of hundreds of years of non-stop warfare, even the mud-legged people in the poorest areas know that the relationship between humans and elves is not very good. Ordinary farmers were naturally frightened and trembled, this group of well-equipped, flying white boats, handsome and tall aliens, were not good.

Speaking of their handsome appearance, the captives began to observe the elves cautiously. They immediately found that the elves who had taken them were taller and stronger than the elves they had known, and that their hair was not black and brown like the elves they had seen, but that the elves who had taken them had long silver-white hair, and that their faces were clean and neat, and that their hair was not in any disorder. The armor worn on the body is elegant and tight, and the skirt of the lower body and the leather boots on the feet are elegant in terms of style and pattern! What's more, each of them carried a bow and arrow behind his back.

They had just witnessed how these elves in front of them could easily shoot a monster with a single arrow. And the surrounding elves are still doing their own work, and there is only one elf taking care of them. It was this elf who showed his powerful archery skills in front of their eyes, an arrow that understated, without looking at the target, and with his extraordinary senses, he easily shot the deer head spirit who 'broke in' by mistake with an arrow.

Such a powerful monster can be easily killed by an elf who is obviously a soldier. The human captives who had been taken captive here suddenly extinguished their careful thoughts, and they did not dare to think about escaping. They worked according to the instructions of the elves, trimming the flat ground in the valley. Digging up the rhizomes of trees, shrubs, etc., from the soil, they need to be cleaned up of gravel in the dirt and large rocks on the riverbank.

Although the work is tiring and hard, the elves do not treat this group of humans badly when it comes to eating. It's not that good, but it fills them up. Over time, the humans discovered these sparsely numbered elves, although they had taken them captive far from home. They were forced to do heavy physical work, but they were not abused elsewhere. There are no restrictions on their living space, except that they are not allowed to go out of the valley, and in other places in the valley, the elves do not restrict them. Moreover, after a long period of observation, it is obvious to humans that the elves that inhabit the river valley are obviously different from the elves of the outside world who have been raised by Ainsidi. Although they are all elves, whether it is the initial observation or the current long-term observation, it has made these humans working in the river valley understand, although they are all elves, but they are obviously different peoples.

The elves that live in the valley, although the population is small, are only a hundred. But all of them are white and beautiful, even from the perspective of human aesthetics, they are all tall and handsome and enviable. Compared to them, the Elves of Ainshidi are first much paler in complexion, with mostly black and brown hair, high cheekbones, and pointed chins. From the perspective of human aesthetics, it is by no means handsome, and it has nothing to do with beauty. And the elves living in the river valley in front of them, even from the perspective of human aesthetics, they all meet the aesthetic standards in human hearts. Tall, strong, handsome, fair-skinned, very clean and tidy, elegant in language, and unable to find fault with even the most discerning ceremonial officer.

Everything showed that the elves living in the river valley were fundamentally different from the inhabitants of the elven kingdom outside, so the humans were curious, where did the hundred-person elves in front of them come from? What are they here for? At the moment, they don't know, but they know one thing, the hundred-person elf in front of them intends to stay here. Judging from the fact that the elves have taken them captive here, forced them to work, and leveled the ground, it is clear that they are preparing to build a city. And they are so powerful, even in the time since then, new humans have been taken captive, and the number of human beings has already been dozens of times that of more than 100 elves in front of them, but they can't defeat them. Because of a revolt of human labor, human beings, who are captives and slaves, understand that although they are numerous, they still cannot rely on riots to escape the fate of enslavement. These elves, who were only a hundred in size, easily defeated dozens of times their human beings, and one of them, an elven mage, summoned a powerful elemental spell with a wave of his hand, suppressing everything.

Since then, the humans have never dared to riot again, and have honestly built roads, cleared rivers and valleys according to the instructions of the elves. At the same time, the rocks were polished, the foundations were excavated, and the construction work began. Every month, the White Ships of the High Elves set off to the outside world, flying to human cities to plunder large numbers of people and artisans. At the same time, they will also come back with a large amount of looting. As the number of times increased, the behavior of the High Elves naturally became closely watched by humans, and human warlocks also designed to ambush them. However, he was easily defeated at the hands of the ship-accompanying wizard Esfate. Subsequently, the elemental cannons installed by the White Ship began to bombard various human cities in retaliation. Moreover, the three major dynasties of the north were forced to compensate for all kinds of supplies, otherwise their capitals would be razed.

To prove the persuasiveness of his words, Esfate ordered the firing of artillery to raze a hill. The powerful power immediately shocked countless people. No one dared to joke about their capital, and the enraged three dynasties summoned the warlocks and mages of the country to study countermeasures. The results showed that there was no other solution than to accede to the other party's request.
