Chapter Seventy-Six: The Trickery of Crassus
Two elven guards dressed in leather armor vests and holding light swords talked and laughed easily, and walked past Xu Mo without finding the slightest trace of the stalker. Behind them, the campfire in the settlement rose with a light smoke, and some female elves, with their skirts on their skirts, quietly lit a fire in front of the campfire to boil water, and began to work for the day's livelihood.
In front of the residential area is the large school field, although it is still early in the morning, there are already many elven warriors, there are already many elven warriors, there are beginning to practice martial arts and magic, and from time to time there are loud shouts. As the station of the elven advance team, there are not many elven civilians in the death rift, only some logistics personnel. Most of the others were soldiers of the advance team, but in addition to that, the second and third elven guards also began to train here.
Xu Mo carefully lifted the hood of Ysera's dream, and looked at the vibrant camp in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart. Although not a single brick or tile of the Death Rift was built by his own hands, the High Elves here knew who gave them this place of survival.
I'm afraid that even Xu Mo himself can't imagine how high his reputation is among the elven civilians now, if he is also a high elf himself, then it can be said that the next elf king is none other than him.
After Xu Mo lifted his stealth, the elven guards in the camp immediately noticed him and immediately saluted him respectfully. During this time, the Elven Guards of the Death Rift had become accustomed to the Stalker, and suddenly appeared in the camp. They all knew that the Lord was still under the threat of Deathwing, and even if they entered the camp, they could only come quietly and go quietly.
In fact, Xu Mo himself felt very helpless, although the Green Dragon Queen had driven away Deathwing, he still didn't dare to be careless. Every time he came to the Death Rift and the elven village below, he didn't dare to make a big splash, even if he rode Tesmerissa over the mountains behind the chapel, he also ordered the little red dragon to fly close to the ground, and as soon as there was a disturbance, he would land and hide in the mountains.
Walking around the camp, Xu Mo found the figure of an elf beauty near the school grounds.
"Wen Leisha......" Xu Mo had just taken two steps forward to say hello, and suddenly saw another figure next to her, and his face immediately became gloomy.
"Your Excellency Crassus, you have been in the chapel for so long, why don't you go back to the border of Quel'Salas and see your Royal Highness?" Xu Mo grinded his teeth and looked at the Red Dragon Mage with an unkind gaze.
"Haha, freed from the control of the demonic souls, the Scourge of Quel'Salas cannot threaten the safety of Her Royal Highness." Crassus smiled faintly, "Wen Lesa, it seems that your Captain Cole is not happy to see me, so I will retire first, and come to visit you and the three elven elders in two days." ”
"Cole, Crassus has helped us a lot in the Poison Glades these days, but he's a good guy!" Seeing that Xu Mo was still staring at Crassus's back with an unkind face, the elf beauty gently hugged his arm and pressed it to her chest, looking at the stalker with a little confusion.
"Good guys?" Xu Mo smiled bitterly, compared to the three elven elders and Crassus, Wen Lessa's human feelings were really no different from that of a little girl, "Crassus has been here so many times recently, did he say anything to you?" ”
"I didn't ...... It's nothing? The pretty face of the elf beauty turned slightly red, and she hugged Xu Mo's arm tighter.
Feeling the softness on Wen Leisha's chest, Xu Mo's heart couldn't help but flutter slightly. It has been more than ten days since the elven beauty returned to the chapel, and Wen Leisha, who has untied the knot, has recovered her health after a period of recuperation. The originally skinny body slowly began to plump up, and the elf beauty who had fallen into the country and the city in the past returned to its original appearance.
After so many changes, the elf ranger's soft face has also become more mature, and there is more melancholy in the delicate and sweet temperament of the past, which makes people feel pity. These days, the elf beauty's attitude towards Xu Mo has also changed a little, and it seems that she has begun to approach the stalker more actively, and she usually has a lot of intimate movements.
As a reincarnation, Xu Mo understands that he has to keep a certain distance from Wen Leisha, but he is a man after all. There can be an elf beauty posted on it for him to eat tofu, how could he take the initiative to refuse, anyway, after he leaves Azeroth, time will naturally fade this feeling.
"This ...... Where are the three of them now? Feeling that the atmosphere between the two seemed a little ambiguous, Xu Mo shrewdly changed the topic.
"Oh, they're at the headquarters of the advance team!" Seeing that Xu Mo didn't ask about Crassus again, the elf beauty seemed to be relieved.
"Mistress Cole, you're here! Huh......" Xu Mo walked into the headquarters with Wen Leisha and found that the three elven elders were discussing something.
Feeling that the three elven elders looked at him a little strangely, Xu Mo was slightly stunned, and then immediately found that Wen Leisha beside him was actually holding his arm.
"Hehe......" Xu Mo touched Wen Leisha a little embarrassedly and motioned for her to let go of her arm. During this time, Wen Leisha would unconsciously lean on him, and it was common to hug her arms.
However, once an outsider comes, Wen Leisha will consciously let go of her hand and keep a certain distance, and everyone will tacitly agree not to break the ambiguous relationship between the two. When he came in just now, Xu Mo didn't pay attention to whether Wen Leisha let go of himself, and let the three elf elders see the joke for a while.
Looking at the ambiguous eyes of the three elven elders, Xu Mo was cheeky and twitched his hand quietly, but his heart immediately tightened. The elf beauty beside him not only didn't take the initiative to let go, but also hugged him harder, almost letting Xu Mo's arm fall deep between his two soft masses.
The corners of Xu Mo's mouth twitched involuntarily, and the corner of his eyes glanced at Wen Leisha. Suddenly, I found that the elf beauty was bowing her head, her chin was on her chest, and the two elf pointed ears and slender snow-white neck were all pink, completely looking like a little daughter-in-law.
"Hehe......" With Xu Mo's cheekiness, he couldn't help but blush slightly, laughed dryly, stiffened his upper body, and dragged the elf beauty straight and walked two steps. When the two sat down side by side, Xu Mo's forehead was already covered with beads of sweat.
"Through the efforts of the elven advance team and another elven guard, in the past half a month, about one-third of the land has been cleared of the poisonous woodland, and two towers of the former Scourge Legion have been captured, and a large number of weapons and magic items have been obtained. At present, we have started to plant home trees and fruit trees in the controlled area, and they will be ready for use soon! As if seeing Xu Mo's embarrassment, Aronnis smiled and took the lead in speaking.
"The number of people who have come from Quel'Salas has now increased to more than 20,000, probably more than half of the surviving civilians. The third elven guard is also being trained and formed, and although there is not much food to support from other forces on the mainland, the first batch of fruit trees we planted is about to mature, and it can basically be received! Herrien reported in a very good mood.
"We have passed the most difficult phase, and we thank you for all this, Honorable Captain Cole! All the High Elves of Death's Rift and the Poison Glades now trust that you and Lord Winresa can lead us to rebuild Quel'Thalas! Sarina looked ambiguously at the interracial couple in front of her.
"Huh...... Very good...... Very good! In the ambiguous eyes of the three elven elders, Xu Mo felt a burst of nervousness inexplicably, and beads of sweat kept flowing down his forehead. He felt as if he had encountered this scene, but his memory was a little long ago, and in this situation, he couldn't think about it.
Xu Mo stayed like a pins and needles for more than ten minutes, and he couldn't stand this weird atmosphere anymore, and dragged Wen Lesa away from the command headquarters as if he were dragging Wen Lesa, and the suppressed laughter of the three elf elders was faintly heard behind him.
"Wen Leisa, you...... What's going on? Taking Wen Leisha to a secluded place, Xu Mo finally couldn't help but ask.
Of course, he knew that Wen Leisha had such a love for him, but the Elf Ranger's feelings were delicate and gentle, and he didn't usually act so explicitly, which didn't seem like her behavior at all.
"I ...... I ......" Wen Leisha lowered her head, her whole beautiful face and her thin swan-like neck were crimson, as if they were cooked dried shrimp, "Ah! The elven ranger hesitated for a long time, and finally let out a soft snort, covered his face with his hands, and ran away.
Xu Mo looked at Wen Leisha's distant back, and was stunned for a long time, letting a gust of cold wind blow and shiver. After his mind slowly calmed down, he finally remembered the scene he felt at the headquarters of the elven advance team, when he had encountered it before.
The ambiguous eyes of the three elven elders looking at themselves were not the same as the eyes that they used to take a certain girlfriend to visit the woman's parents? Mother-in-law looking at son-in-law? Xu Mo's heart trembled, and he felt like he had fallen into a trap by someone who had been calculated.
……
"Crassus, are we going to do this?" At this time, in Crassus's room, Prince Kael'thas was also looking at the red dragon mage worriedly.
These days, Crassus and the two of them have been disguised and observed for long periods of time in the Death Rift and the Poisonous Glades. Originally, Crassus wanted Kael'thas to gradually get closer to Winresa, and finally obtain the leadership of the elven civilians through marriage. But the two soon discovered that Winresa Windranger already had a sweetheart, and he was actually the head of Cole who was a headache for the two.
Originally, Kael'thas was not willing to lose his leadership over the elven civilians, but during the unannounced visit to the Death Rift and the poisonous woodland, the elven prince gradually discovered that the elven civilians here were slowly getting rid of the trauma of the war and gradually returning to their previous peaceful life.
At the same time, the prestige of Cole and the old K mercenary group is deeply ingrained in the hearts of these elven civilians, and it is not at all something that his status as an elven royal family can be offset. After secretly approaching the three Elven Elders, Crassus and Kael'thas discovered that their original predictions were correct.
The elven commoners did not have the slightest affection for Prince Kael'thas and the remnants of the elven nobles. The three elven elders even warned them that they would either integrate into the current elven team as ordinary elves, or they would get out of the death rift and poisonous woodlands. If they find out that Kael'thas is using his royal status to stir up people here, they will unceremoniously deal with the original elven prince.
"Are you sure you want to give up the leadership of the elven civilians?" Crassus didn't answer Kael'thas and gave him a slightly meaningful look.
"Yes, the original Silvermoon City ruined the lives of these clansmen, and now they once again have rare peace and happiness, I must not destroy all this!" Prince Kael'thas said with a wry smile.
"If that's the case, there's nothing wrong with what we're doing now!" Crassus smiled, "Cole's wisdom is enough to be a good leader, the key is whether he is willing or not." He is a human mercenary, and perhaps morally he will help the elven civilians for a while, but he will never lead the elves forever. At that time, the elven civilians who are accustomed to relying on him will be at a loss......"
"So, you've been hinting to those three elven elders and Winlessa these days, asking them to tie Cole to the High Elves by marriage?" Prince Kael'thas said helplessly, "Aren't you afraid that Captain Cole will settle accounts with you!" ”
"Oh, I think he's already here!" Crassus's pointed ears twitched, and he suddenly chuckled.
"Crassus, you despicable red lizard!" With Crassus's laughter, Xu Mo's angry roar came from the door.
