Chapter Thirty-Eight: All Doubts Are Solved
There was a lot of information learned from the storm, and at the same time, it was also a little messy, and Lin Jue summarized it in his mind.
First of all, the current Eastern Continent is being swept away by a war, and almost all races and forces in the entire continent, including the human race who has just set foot in the Eastern Continent for only thirty years, are involved.
The enemies that everyone is facing are the cannibal tribes of the northern tundra, a mysterious army of undead from the northeast, and the jungle elves guarding the southern forests.
Moreover, all this, the first human beings, were completely kept in the dark, and there was no news at all. Perhaps it was because neither the dwarves nor the elves could have imagined that humans, who were surrounded by all sides and completely cut off from their enemies, would also be attacked.
The Jungle Elves have been hiding their whereabouts since the beginning, and almost everyone believes that they are still at the behest of the Elven Queen.
If it weren't for the fact that Hammer and Tulip escaped from the forest, came to Phoenix, and reported the news, if it wasn't for the inexplicable attack on the human town two years ago, and then thinking of this incident, I'm afraid that no one would suspect the jungle goblin until now.
"However, didn't the forest elves have a little notice about the rebellion of their subordinate forces?" Lin Jue wondered.
Storm shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, but it seems that I shouldn't have noticed it." ”
Lin Jue felt a little headache, according to the current situation, the jungle goblin was always a dangerous hidden danger.
Because all human cities are built along the coastline, from the sky, they look like a long and narrow corridor, and on the other side of the corridor, there is the boundless southern forest.
If the other party does not hesitate to expose their existence, they can directly gather an army from the forest and go straight to the human territory, and the human race will fully face the jungle elves. If the Jungle Elves want to destroy humanity, it won't be difficult.
And on the other side of the forest, the elven kingdom, in their eyes, the jungle goblins may still belong to the category of good babies.
In this way, basically all the messages can be straightened out. For example, why do jungle elves attack humans?
Perhaps the Jungle Elves are planning a big operation against the Elven Kingdom, and the Forest Elves don't know anything about it.
The reason why they target humans is that they are too close to the territory of the jungle elves, and they have to make sure that the elves will not suspect them, and they must prevent the humans from noticing their actions, and they can only find ways to force the humans away from being distracted.
Second, if they want to complete this plan, they can only do their best to block the news, and they can't show anything unusual.
The alliance between the elves and the dwarves will affect their plans, so they have to set up an ambush on the way back to Tulip, but Tulip fled to Phoenix, and in order to block the news, they can only find a way to destroy Phoenix.
It's just that the other party didn't expect that Phoenix City is still a hard nut to bite. Under the siege of 10,000 soldiers, he returned with a feather. In this way, I am afraid that it will cause humans to be more suspicious of jungle elves.
That is, the most dangerous at the moment is not dwarves, not elves, but humans.
Strictly speaking, the alliance request made by the storm is what humanity needs most right now. But how does Phoenix alone represent the entire human race?
And now there are still doubts about this matter.
First of all, why didn't the jungle elves come and freeze everyone in Phoenix into ice sculptures by the curse power that Phoenixes mentioned, but instead used such a thankless method to forcibly attack humans?
Second, why did they let Hammer and Tulip go in the first place and let them flee to Phoenix? If they had been killed near the forest, wouldn't there have been so many things to do later?
Lin Jue analyzed these two doubts, first of all, the mysterious power that can freeze human beings into ice sculptures and change the structure of the body may have some limitations in practicality.
After all, according to the news obtained from Dawning City, the time when humans were attacked was from January to February, and Phoenix City was too close to the northern part of the continent, and the heavy snow came much earlier than the southern cities, perhaps, this limitation was reflected in the time?
Or rather, this power does not belong to the jungle elves. After all, Phinex once said that to be able to use such a high-level and large-scale curse power, only the cursed witch and her envoy who had never met had such an ability, and as for the jungle elf, maybe it was just a smoke bomb that the other party took out to hide people's ears.
As for why they let go of Tulip and the two in the first place, and they wanted to attack Phoenix City so aggressively in the future, Lin Jue really couldn't think of the reason. He thought to himself: "If it were me, I would never be so excited, but directly sent killers to kill the target, and it would be a hundred." ”
"That's right, killer!" Lin Jue seemed to think of something and exclaimed.
Didn't there be a killer who infiltrated Phoenix City some time ago? But that group of killers is not a jungle goblin, but a human being, will there be any connection between them? And the timing is too coincidental, the killer has just been discovered, and the jungle goblins have come to Phoenix. It is now almost certain that the two sides are on a united front.
Lin Jue thought for a moment, directly opened the drawer on the desk, and took out a small bag from it.
Under the suspicious gaze of Storm and Lin Yue, Lin Jue opened the bag and took out the black-purple six-pointed star badge inside.
"Mr. Storm, do you know what this badge represents, or what power does it represent?"
Suspiciously, Storm Fox took the badge and carefully examined it through the sunlight shining in through the window. After a moment, he shook his head, handed the badge back to Lin Jue, and said, "I don't know, I've never seen this thing." Your Excellency the Governor, where did this thing come from?"
"I don't know...... Lin Jue took the badge back weakly, and said, "About a week ago, there was a wave of killers who infiltrated Phoenix City and wanted to kill the hammer and the elven messenger. But they failed, and this thing was found out of them. ”
However, Lin Jue didn't tell Storm that the killer who came to assassinate the two was actually a human being.
Storm shrugged his shoulders and said, "Your Excellency the Governor, if this badge represents the forces on the Haber Continent, I think you can ask an elven scholar about this thing, maybe they will tell you the answer." ”
Lin Jue sighed softly: "Maybe." ”
He no longer dwelled on the strange badge, but said, "Mr. Storm, I thought about the alliance just now, and this is indeed a good suggestion. I'm sorry, though, because I can't really represent the entire human race alone, so maybe I'll have to wait until the snow melts and I can consult with the various human lords before I can give a clear answer. ”
This storm, I don't think it's a surprise, at least the current reply is much better than the previous one, and it's not a direct refusal, which proves that there is still something to talk about.
Storm smiled, "Well, I'm looking forward to the Governor's reply in the future." ”
