Chapter 4 Interracial Choice
While Jenny was convincing Aclay and Ruth, there was talk of a large number of conscripts from the Guard Battalion to the Tower of China.
On a road in the residential area of Riverbend New Town, the dwarf boy Babick had just followed his father Sinclair from the factory, and the two walked side by side along the wide concrete road, and when they reached the door, Sinclair said, "If you have something to say, don't hide it." ”
"Dad, how do you know I have something to say?" said Babik, curious.
"Nonsense, usually you are like a crow chirping, and you haven't said anything after walking so far today, it means that you have been holding back your words. Just like before a volcano erupts, it tends to accumulate strength.
Babik scratched his head and smiled stupidly, "Dad, I want to join the army." ”
Sinclair frowned, "Joining the army, what are you kidding, just like you, you're still a lot short of the height standard, right?" Sinclair compared his hands, and the distance was at least half a meter long.
Babik grinned and said, "I went and asked, that standard is for humans, dwarves, I am already considered high." And I'm going not to go to ordinary troops, but artillery operating pneumatic guns.
The pneumatic cannons were still on the low side of the wheels, and the human soldiers had to bend down, and it was very laborious to operate, but I was just right. We dwarves are also naturally strong, and whether it is carrying shells or adjusting gun positions, we are all better than humans. And as a fighting warrior, I can also deal with bows and arrows that come over, no matter how you look at it, this position is especially suitable for me. ”
"Who have you been fooled by? Chang Lin? This guy came to talk to me about this before, but I politely refused. Sinclair asked angrily.
"No, it was Shi Hao who told me. They're going to try to add dwarven loaders to the crew. ”
"Shi Hao, well, remember, if it's Chang Lin, don't have too much to do with him. ”
"Of course I'm asking about the military. ”
"Tell me why you're going?" the middle-aged dwarf turned around with his hands behind his back and looked at Babik scrutinically.
"I want to go back to the Dwarven Kingdom one day. Babick said without hesitation.
"Dwarven kingdom?" the answer surprised Sinclair. After all, in his senses, except for those who witnessed it like the old village chief, for other dwarves, including him, the dwarven kingdom was a long time ago.
"What does the Dwarven Kingdom have to do with this conscription now?" Sinclair asked.
"Dad, we don't have anyone in the army! How can we influence the direction of the army? Moreover, it is ourselves, not humans, who want to seek justice from them, if one day the army of the Tower of China punishes the dwarven kingdom, and none of us are in this army, will our ancestors who have suffered be disappointed? Revenge is the same as giving birth to a baby, you can't let others do it for you, right?"
"What kind of mess is this, Shi Hao also told you?"
"Yes, I know he's looking for a reason to convince us, but I think he's right, don't we dwarves respect our ancestors the most?
"He promised you that the Chinese army would attack the dwarf kingdom?"
"Not really, he just said, maybe one day. ”
"Hmph, if he really said that, I would never let you go. But now...... Maybe it's time to add some of our voice. ”
"So you agree?"
"Who else? He can't just say that you are moved, there must be other little cubs who have been brought by you. Sinclair said.
"Hehe, I brought a lot of workers of the same generation, about forty or fifty. ”
"Why haven't you heard them talk about it?"
"They are all waiting for me to talk to you first, these cowards, only if you speak, they dare to go back and talk to their families. At this point, Babick saw that Sinclair did not ask any more, and kept quiet and followed his father.
When the two of them reached the door, Sinclair said, "I know about it, but don't tell your mother yet." Your mother is timid, and she will be worried about this. But what's the use of worrying? Instead of letting her know earlier and worrying more, it is better to let her know later, and she can worry less for a few days. ”
Babik didn't look a little happy at this time, and nodded solemnly. Sinclair put his hand on his shoulder and put it around him hard.

Evelyn and a dozen Dark Elves sit around a warehouse, discussing whether or not to relocate another batch of Dark Elves in the near future.
After settling the first group of pathfinder dark elves, they haven't arranged for the second group of elves to relocate, not because they are dissatisfied with the environment here, nor because they have other plans. Rather, as the long-lived dark elves, they do things at such a pace, and the elves have an old saying that the best things always come after enough waiting.
"I think it's time to move more Dark Elves over. We have shown that humans can be friendly with us, even more than just 'friendly'. Evelyn smiled and looked at the young Dark Elves, who bowed their heads a little embarrassed. These handsome dark elves have been pursued and loved by many people. Over the course of a year, several pairs of couples have even been produced that span the elven and human races.
"And our companions who stayed with the World Tree should have almost cleared the various ruins underground. This time they should be able to detach more people and come here to build our new home. Kai'Sa said.
Evelyn said: "Not only to build here, but also to help the Chinese fight." ”
Kai'Sa asked, "If it's to defend them and our homeland, I don't have a problem. But according to the information I know, this is likely to be a war, and you want us dark elves to help humanity fight a war for power between them?"
"Now we are one with them, aren't we? If they can gain in a war, then we can also gain in it. What's more, it was human beings who helped us solve the problem of the World Tree, and now they are giving us new land to live in. Don't we have to do something? I don't think it matters why the war started, what matters is who we're fighting for. Evelyn paused at this point, "I am willing to fight for the Chinese, and you can all express your opinions." ”
The Dark Elves in the room discussed. Evelyn's prestige was already high, and her theory of alignment of interests seemed very convincing, and in the end, more than seventy percent of the dark elves were willing to join a war caused by the Chinese.
Evelyn was satisfied, "Let's get more compatriots, this world doesn't know yet, the dark elves are the best scouts and infiltrators." ”
