Grandini, also known as Mulan, is a long, dark and narrow valley with a long and unseen tortoiseshell forest (a mushroom-like but towering tree, where the indigenous people live in houses made of hollow trunks of plants). There are also barren places made of strange rocks, where weeds do not grow. Its canyon paper mill, even if it is a horse gallop, it takes more than three days to cross the whole territory.

This is where the Green Elves of Lissen live and live, and it is worth noting that this race evolved from the High Elves has maintained the most primitive life. Hunting in groups, sharing food, men ploughing and women weaving ....... Since their territory runs through part of the territory of the Sukaran Federation, the Sukaran Federation has sent troops to levy it many times before the empire has the idea of attacking here.

However, each time it ended in the defeat of the Federation. The reason is that this is not suitable for large corps operations at all, and the Federation army with too many combat personnel cannot be deployed here. On the contrary, it makes them feel like they are restricted. In addition, the tortoiseshell forest has not seen sunlight for many years, and has become accustomed to the fact that the dim Strands may not be able to see, and retains a super high combat effectiveness, which the slave army of the Federation cannot do. After his outpost was destroyed several times, Sukaran eventually chose to abandon the idea of occupying the area.

In their words, if the Empire could not conquer the region itself, it would be impossible for the Empire to take it.

Most of the tribe of the Strands are located in the deep forests of the valley, which are full of towering umbrella-like bushes with dense umbrella-like foliage that can completely block the sun out of the canyon, while the ground is a bathing bush with no bounds in sight. Without the guidance of locals, it is difficult for outsiders to get out of here. Each hooded tree is hollow, which means that here and here, there is a possibility that a family of Strands lives on each tree. This also makes it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

On the other side, the ground is still quite solid and barren and strange rocks, but it is a place where miasma is scraped from time to time. (In other words, the outpost where Tifa and the others are currently located, the people inside were not evacuated urgently, but when they slept in the middle of the night, they were all engulfed in miasma.) ）

Although it is not suitable for agriculture, there is a well-developed fishing industry in Yuzawa. Underneath the forest, fish and water are abundant.

So, despite the surprising number of slave armies of the Federation, they have never been able to take the place. This is due in large part to the shelter formed by the topography.

When the Empire renamed him Mulan, Glandini was destined to be included in the Empire.

One of the Empire's treasure hunters once thought to the Emperor, "There is an untold amount of black gold (oil) beneath the Grandini, and it is not only hot-tempered, but almost a little. What's more, this viscous substance can even be made into *if it is applied properly.

Gollum Beru, a Straitan with terrifying red hair on his head. In his youth, he was much stronger than the rest of his peers, which made him always like to provoke right and wrong when he was fine, especially the ruffians and hooligans among the upper clansmen.

"Now, Groot, how's it going. The four people on the other side were all knocked down by me. ”

The guy who was replaced by Blue as Groot was a yellow-skinned guy with a snot in his nose from time to time. Maybe it was because Blue had rescued him once one day, but in fact, at that time, Belu was itchy and couldn't get used to seeing more people bullying less. So, as soon as Blue appeared, Groot would follow him.

"Hmm...... , Mom said, no matter how good your martial arts are, if you have been frivolous and debauched on weekdays, then you may not return to the place of return afterwards. ”

Groot took a breath and sucked the snot back into his nose. Said matter-of-factly.

The Land of Return, where the elves were born and died, as outcasts, the Strand have always dreamed of returning to their homeland.

The elders of the tribe also said,

Be a good person in life and go to heaven after death.

Of course, there is already a deep-seated notion for those who speak to Grandini. The people here believe that only a brave and fearless warrior can truly reach the place of return after death.

"Hey~ Groot is really useless. I'm going to be the best warrior in my clan. ”

Blu spat out a mouthful of bloody spit and continued,

"I heard that the team leader brought back a few strangers this morning. ”

"Well, I was tied up and brought back!"

Groot tilted his head, not paying any attention to the crumbling snot.

"Let's go and see!"

"Don't do it! If the team leader finds out, he will be scolded. ”

"Coward, if you don't go, I'll go alone. ”

"Hey, wait for me!"

Groot hurried after him.

Although the two of them are only a normal human child at the age of fourteen or fifteen, they are in the midst of a giant tree that humans are afraid of. The two of them were like playing, completely ignoring them. It's a breeze to jump over.

In the middle of the tribe, a plant that is many times larger than other hawksbill trees acts as a tribal square.

A two-meter-tall red one-eyed monster trembled among the warriors of the tribe. In an instant, another Strand warrior fell.

The eyes were full of surprise and unwillingness.

The monster shifted to a standing position and shook the surprisingly large greatsword in his hand. On the back of his head, the bundle of silver hair rose without wind and fluttered slowly.

"Again, call people out. My patience is limited. ”

It's good to have an independent maintenance class, at least my "Crimson Demon" has been adjusted very, very well, and the sensor devices on the fingers, legs and feet are so sensitive that the hands and feet of the mecha are like their own hands and feet.

Under the farewell of the cannons of the Federal Fortress, follow the last distress coordinates. I found the outpost. The ground was a mess, but there was not a trace of blood left behind. In the midst of all these concerns, I finally cleared up the suspicion that something might happen to Tifa. Later, he found the mark left by Tifa along the way, and successfully infiltrated the Strand station.

Then, there was the scene just now.

I'm lucky, or they're unlucky. Because it was not the time for the Strands to prepare for war, more than ninety percent of the young men in the tribe went out to hunt.

Therefore, even if it is ambushed, it will not fall behind in dealing with the siege of dozens of people. Moreover, for someone like me who has grown up in battle, it is easy for me to learn the fighting skills of others. Even if it's temporary, it can be done.

As time passed, more and more Stellan warriors rushed back to the tribe. Of course, I've learned a lot about their fighting skills.

Blood stained the entire small square. When I confronted them in the broken Strand language, I was greeted with even more murderous intent.

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang.

No way, in order to reduce the consumption of mana, I adopted a standing position, stretched my hands forward, and put my hands on the handshake of the greatsword. As long as the opponent attacks, I will fight back.

The Strand were quick to notice this, too. The one-eyed monster has a protective wall around it, and its ranged attacks are completely neutralized. And as long as your side doesn't take the initiative to attack, the other party won't fight back.

......

Originally, I just wanted to sneak over and see the outsiders who had been captured. As soon as he reached the edge of the square, Blue found that he could no longer move his legs.

Fear, fear, excitement, excitement, mixed together, that kind of flowing sword pace, Blue felt that he might not even be able to achieve that level when he was dreaming. The corpses of the people everywhere on the ground, the blood of the dead gathered in one place, like a trickling stream slowly left on the ground, and finally merged into the bath.

Witnessing this, Blue felt his legs tremble, and he couldn't even move his steps.
