After listening to Canion's account of the battlefield, Martin got into thought. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Everyone fell silent for a moment, as if they were infected by the tragic battle.

"How many of the elven armies were human in that battle?" asked Martin suddenly. One of the great assets of human beings against elves is quantity, engulfing elves with overwhelming numbers. The elves dismissively refer to it as a crowd tactic, while the humans call it a saturation attack. In fact, it is more reasonable to say that it is human. Is the tactic of the sea of people so simple? Do you find a group of goblins to try the tactics of the sea of goblins? Transforming a huge army into combat effectiveness requires an extremely high command art, and besides, it is not possible to defeat the opponent with the tactics of the sea of people by pulling out an army at random. The most important thing is that concentrating one's superior forces to attack the enemy is the most crucial skill of a soldier, so how can we talk about the tactics of crowds being inferior tactics? In the old battle for supremacy between humans and elves, a brilliant elven commander did just that, although humans always had numerical superiority for most of the war. However, in each battle, it was the Elves who had the numerical superiority and defeated the Humans. This is the art of war.

"The elves were in the elite troops that time, so the number of human servants was greatly reduced. But most of the soldiers in hand-to-hand combat are human. Canian replied. It is not surprising that humans are one of the few creatures that can fight against their own kind as long as they can get benefits. The population of the elves has always been a difficult problem to solve, so humans occupy an important place in the Elven Duchy of Tarentum.

"I remember that in the days of the ancient elven city-states, the elven sage Plato, the author of the "Ideal Republic", once said that "all means must be used to prevent our human legions from growing too fast and becoming beasts—they are stronger than our citizens." "And the Duchy of Tarentum that I have learned is very tolerant of the Half-Elves. But in the end, there is also a system of elven aristocracy, half-elf knights forming the backbone of violent machines, and human serfs serving. Although I am well aware of the inferiority of human beings, I still feel that there is no worthiness for those who serve the elves, and they cannot become nobles through military exploits. ”

"You know about the former Duchy of Tarentum. Canian pointed out the problem. "The Duchy of Tarentum has long had half-elf nobles, and human nobles have also appeared a few years ago. ”

"Oh, yes? I seem to be too ignorant of current events. Can you tell us a little bit about the current state of the Principality of Tarentum?" asked Martin.

"This is simple, at a very early age, the Duchy of Tarentum was aware of the population problem caused by the low fertility of the elves. At first, they solved the problem of tolerant acceptance of the half-elves, and for a time the half-elves regarded the Duchy of Tarentum as a place that could accept them and was worthy of their own service, and went to the Duchy of Tarentum one after another. After all, half-elves are often discriminated against in elven society on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is difficult to integrate into human society, so an elven principality that can accept them is the most suitable place for them. And the principality also solved the population problem for a while. But with the attrition in the battle against the Empire, they had to accept a large number of humans. Then, with the reliance on humans and the call for human rights, they also had to increase the rights of humans, and finally gave the title of earl to several outstanding humans. This greatly increased the trust of mankind in the Principality of Tarentum and strengthened the cohesion of the Principality of Tarentum. The power of the Duchy of Tarentum has been greatly enhanced, at least from the war, it can be seen that the human soldiers are still very loyal to this elven principality. If the Duchy of Tarentum had not done this, then it is certain that they would have been annexed by the Empire long ago. Canian explained.

"But in a sense, this is drinking to quench thirst! The ancient elven city-states were wary of humans. The history of the Norma Empire shows the terrible assimilation of humans to the elves. Martin commented.

At one time, the Norma Empire had a territory of 5.29 million square kilometers (real territory, excluding the area of the sea, vassal states, and vassal states). With a huge capital with a population of more than three million, it has pushed the power of mankind to the pinnacle.

But this empire was originally founded by a group of elves.

A long, long time ago on the Del Peninsula, Paris, the young prince of the city of Ilion, abducted the beautiful wife of King Lasitimon during a mission. To this end, he drew the whole of the Negean Sea after him—and at the call of the angry King Rasitimon, the nations of Akkaya formed a coalition. King Rasitimon's elder brother played a key role in the establishment of the army, and in exchange for favorable winds, he even sacrificed his own daughter with his own hands.

Stirred by the strong sea breeze, 10,000 Akhayan elves sailed to the city of Ilion on thousands of warships. Fighting after battle broke out under the city of Ilion.

The battlefield lasted longer than any elf could have imagined. One hundred years, the golden years of the lives of the 100,000 Achaean elves were wasted under the golden walls of Ilion.

The elves of Lasitimon, the rivals of the city of Ilion, were martial arts, and their babies were born with a bath of liquor to test their physical strength, and they were trained in military affairs from an early age, making them the best soldiers. But the Ilion elves of Apollo, known for their archery skills, repelled them again and again with sharp arrows, leaving shields with lambda motifs to cover the land beneath the golden walls.

The city of Ilion stood firm in a hundred years of war, but their allies were gradually wiped out by the Akkaya elves. After a long attack, the Akkaya elves came up with a sinister idea.

Eventually, under the conspiracy, the Akaean elves conquered the city of Ilion.

War, terrible war. The inhabitants of the city of Ilion endured the terrible end. Massacres and looting...... Eventually, the Akaean Elves razed the entire city of Ilion to the ground.

But not all of the nobles of Ilion died or were sold into slavery. The hero Aeneas led his family out of the siege. The boat sailed into the distance.

He became the founder of a great empire. After years of wandering, he finally set foot on the land of the Apennine Peninsula and married the daughter of the local king Langding.

After many incidents, such as the robbery of a human woman as a wife, the blood of the elves is becoming weaker and weaker. By the end of the royal era, the Norma Republic had become a human nation, although some elven traditions, such as drinking wine mixed with water, were still preserved. As the republic grew into an empire, the empire grew stronger, and finally set foot there as the Akkaya elves fought against each other, swords striking shields and wheels running over them. The Achaean elves were eventually conquered and became slaves of the Norma.

Therefore, Martin is quite right when he says that the new policy of the Principality of Tarentum will increase the country's strength. But what about the future? Will it continue to follow the old path and eventually be assimilated by humans?

"I can't predict what will happen so long, but I know very well that if this is not done, then the Duchy of Tarentum will be wiped out by the Empire in no time. Canian replied.

Indeed, it is a dilemma. But the current three can only evaluate this. They couldn't influence anything, so the conversation quickly shifted.

As they advanced, they got closer and closer to Outpost 27. What to do with the two captives became an important question.

"Well, how about we take these two weapons, release them, and then wait for a while for them to pay the ransom for themselves and the weapons in exchange for the weapons? So that even if the other party doesn't keep his promise and come back to pay the ransom, you can sell the weapons, and these two weapons are worth a lot of money anyway. Canian said to Martin.

"The problem is, I'm not worried that they're not coming back, it's that they're coming back with a bunch of druids and rangers to kill me. Martin said with a sad face. "They already know I'm a Starch Spencer Druid, and I don't want to be hunted down so soon. ”

......

Indeed, Martin's identity poses a serious problem. It was clear that the conscience of the two paladins would not allow them to kill them in one fell swoop. And now there are a lot of things, and it is impossible to run around with two captives.

"Well," Lyukrisia said abruptly to the elves, "we'll let you go, but you can't reveal Martin's identity to any sapient beings. How?"

The elves rejected the offer for the simple reason that they could not let Martin, a dangerous man, run along. They cannot guarantee that Martin's information will not be disclosed to others.

If it were an evil person, he would simply stop talking when he heard this. But the elves understood that the paladins could not do anything to them, so they simply confessed their thoughts. So they had no choice but to continue to reason.

Eventually, they agreed that the result would be, and the Paladin would be with Martin and watch Martin. And the elves don't leak Martin's identity from others. For this result, the elf reluctantly agreed. They consoled themselves that Martin, who was with the Paladin, probably didn't have a chance to do anything evil.

After reaching an agreement, they released the elves and proceeded to Outpost 27.

After showing the officers their documents and letters from the local lords, they requisitioned three horses and galloped away, with very important matters to be resolved. They had already learned the mastermind behind this through the seized letters, and all they had to do now was to contact the organization to eliminate the black-robed Bull.

At this time, the black-robed Bull was in the middle of the execution, and he was tired of playing with the captured female holy warrior, so he simply planned to carry out the final abuse.

Sticking is a brutal form of execution, and Black-robed Bull doesn't want to stall, so he uses a pointed stick in order to end everything quickly. But the sheer vitality of the paladin forced her to survive on it - she only wanted to die quickly, but she couldn't.

Tired of seeing the female paladin struggling, the black-robed Bull simply pinched the lime and performed the petrification technique, turning the female paladin into a beautiful statue.

"Well, is that girl's name Lyukrisia?" he said to himself, "I'm looking forward to you." ”

Then, Black-robed Bul continued to look through the information that his subordinates had gathered about Liukrisya. This time, he's determined to win.

I was going to describe the details of the wooden stick punishment in detail, but after thinking about it, first, I can't bear to write like that, and second, I will probably be crabbed. So I didn't write it in the end.

I've seen a lot of messy and dark things, not novels, but a lot of real things that happened in history, what is the Nazis' gold teeth for pulling out the dead bodies of Jews, and there are more cruel things in history than this. And compared to the bizarre death penalty invented by humans, the gas chamber can be considered merciful.

However, after seeing so much, I think it's okay, I'm still a very pure person.

Recently, something happened that made me very happy, the author of this book, guessed my setting. This shows that my setting is actually quite logical. It really makes me happy.

Anyway, it's a holiday.,It should have been updated quickly.,But I play the game at every turn, and I'm dizzy.,Resulting in inability to update.,Resentment,My energy is too limited......

Recently bought a collection of German novels. The translation is very good, I bought it for "Amulet" and "The Sage", and after several years, I still feel that the "Sage" is really well written when I see it again.
