Efresta has been out of food for half a month.

When Felim Moonflower had just broken through the seal, Everisca's elves were at first unconcerned, but when they heard that Ferimer Aoi dared to attack Everisca because he coveted the magical power of the elven city, the enraged elves sent an army to crusade against Ferin Demon, trying to strangle Ferin's attempt to strangle Ferin Demon's attempt in the cradle.

The elves do have proud capital, although the fertility rate of the elves has been very low, and the human countries in the Faeron continent are also rising, human beings can grow from children to adults in only ten years, cutting down forests, smelting ores, and establishing cities at an incredible speed in the eyes of elves, and ignorant elves spend hundreds of years just from birth to adulthood, often a stunned effort of elves, the forest that elves rely on to survive has been cut down by humans, and human beings have established cities when elves are still meeting to discuss countermeasures, and the rapid development of human beings finally forced most of the elves out of the Faeron continent。

But the elven army is never fragile, the elves' long life gives them a long time to exercise various skills, as long as they are willing to work hard, most of the elves can become martial arts masters, the elves' high elf magic is also well-known throughout the existence of the whole of Pheren, especially today, before the fall of the Nethrel Empire, before the return of the Shadow Man, the elves of high magic almost represent the highest level of the whole of Pheren, and the elves' long life has also made them very rich, almost all the soldiers in the army have powerful magic weapons and magical wonders to protect themselves, and the commanders and officers of the elves are even more experienced in battles, hundreds of years of career, even if they are idiots, and today you can become a master tactician.

And the elves also have the most elite Efrysca Mausoleum Guards to participate in the war with the army, only the most elite Everska Elves can serve as the Mausoleum Guards, in the eyes of the Everska Elves, the most important thing is undoubtedly to worship the Elven Lord God, the second is to guard the tomb of the dead companion, although the soul of the companion has gone to the realm of the Elven Lord God Corellon, but the Elves are still accustomed to putting the companion's property, unfinished manuscripts, favorite poems and paintings into the mausoleum, this custom has attracted a large number of tomb robbers who watch the elves' secret methods, and the Ephrisca's Mausoleum Guards are powerful warriors and arcane spellcasters, made a vow to recover the stolen elven relics throughout Ferron.

The high-spirited elven army set out, ushering in a rout indeed.

This batch of Felin Demon Aoi can be regarded as the most powerful batch of Felin Demon Aoi, the Grand Arcanist Karthas of the year could not defeat it head-on, and could only hope to steal the divine power of the Goddess of Magic to defeat Felin Demon Kui, and after that, the Salen spirit defeated this batch of Felin Demon Aoi, but they were unable to completely destroy them, they could only be sealed in the depths of the Wild Bull Desert, and the power of the Felin Demon Kui, who had been a prisoner for thousands of years, was of course unable to compare with that year, but it was still possible to deal with a group of elves who were light enemies.

Fei Lin Mo Kui's powerful Fei Lin magic bombarded the formation of the elves, Fei Lin Mo Kui is a naturally powerful warlock, casting spells do not require spells, no spell materials, not even spell casting gestures, magic is just an order for them, with the thought in their hearts, the majestic magic in the magic net will be willingly driven by Fei Lin Mo Kui, even the powerful elf spellcasters can not defeat Fei Lin Mo Kui in the spell duel, and the elves' warriors are overwhelmed by the goblins and orcs under Fei Lin Demon Kui.

The defeated elves retreated to Everisca, determined to hold on to the city, which is the "homeland fortress" in the elven language, as the only remaining city of the elves in Ferron, Everska is impregnable, twelve fortress-like peaks in a spiral shape defend the central elven valley, the valley is full of magically productive terraces and orchards, the valley is filled with the sweet smell of elven mead and fresh cherry pie, and the center of the valley is a city full of elven statues and artworks.

Every morning, I wake up in the treehouse to a squirrel who has come to beg for food, lazily feed the squirrel a handful of pine nuts, collect dew for the roses in the garden, enjoy freshly picked apples and grapes from the valley, drink a glass of sweet and sour raspberry juice, continue the unfinished painting of last night, eat the cherry pie from the elegant neighbor in between breaks, discuss the new work of a certain elven poet with the neighbor, invite the neighbor to enjoy a big meal at noon: beet soup, goat cheese, parsnip dried meat pie, smoked lamb, cold lettuce, honey cake, accompanied by a bottle of elf mead, take a short break after lunch, and start baking a small lemon cake made as an afternoon snack, while decorating the cake with frosting, humming a newly composed song in his heart.

In the evening, after a simple dinner of elf bread, baked apples, and sheep cheese, I rushed to the bonfire in the glade, listened to everyone's new poems, played my new music on the recorder, listened to everyone's praise, laughed and danced with everyone, and finally went home with unfinished satisfaction, and prepared honey and icing with rose dew, prepared for tomorrow's breakfast, prayed to Corellon reverently before going to bed, and carefully left the gap on the windowsill for squirrels to enter and exit。

In the face of Felin's attack, the elves are full of confidence, and if Felinmosuni wants to conquer Everisca, he must conquer twelve heavily guarded fortresses one after another, face the elves' precise archery skills and fierce magic bombardment on the narrow mountain path, and face Everisca's powerful elven magic lock, which can be described as difficult.

Fei Lin Mo Kui commanded the army of slaves to begin the siege of the elven fortress, this act almost made the elves laugh, thanks to the pleasant climate and powerful elven magic in the elven valley, the agricultural output in the valley can fully feed all the elves, and even export the less fresh parts to humans, the elves work in their own gardens and elven valleys more out of interest than livelihood, the elves export all kinds of elven art and magic and strange things, everyone lives in a very rich place.

But the elves soon couldn't laugh, and the elves began to absorb the vitality of the land around Everisca, and the elves' high magic could not make the land that had lost its vitality produce grain***The grain production in the Spirit Valley began to decrease, and the elves of Ephriska did not have the habit of storing food, and the elves who couldn't even eat the fruits picked the next day could eat the grain produced in the last quarter?

As the land in the Valley of the Elves was eroded by the Ferlin Demon Sunflower, the elves began to turn their food sources into the city, the elves removed the gardens and street trees in the city, removed the sculptures and monuments of the great men, filled in the artificial lakes and forest squares for the citizens to perform, began to grow wheat wherever they could, the mages used magic to ripen the wheat, and the priests used magic to protect the wheat from the evil forces.

The reinforcements of the Yin Soul City arrived, and the shadow canopy cut off the connection between the Fei Lin Demon Kui and the magic net, which also made it impossible for the elves to ripen the grain, the elves looked at the Fei Lin Demon Kui who was slaughtered by the Yin Spirits, gritting their teeth and eating all kinds of stale crops that were used as fertilizer in the past.

The Shaders withdrew from the Shadow Canopy, the Waterdeep army was defeated by the Ferin Demon Kui, and the elves who rescued the reinforcements also lost their first fortress, the Eagle's Nest , Even the city martial arts chief has been killed, the elves who have suffered heavy losses are unable to fight again, so they can only retreat to the second fortress to stand for help, without the constraints of the shadow canopy, the erosion of the land by Felin Demon Kui has begun to enter the newly opened wheat fields in the city, the priests and mages have done their best, and the wheat fields that have been successfully preserved are not enough for the whole city to eat, the elves plan to build a portal to transport food from Waterdeep City, but even with the magic skills of the elves, it will take at least two months to establish a portal, and after two months, how many of Averysca's 30,000 elves will be left？

Kind elven mages used teleportation to other cities to buy all kinds of luxury food at the beginning of the siege to inspire the tribesmen, strawberry cake from Waterdeep, caramel cookies from Neverwinter, trout pie and seafood chowder from Luscan City, these things did inspire the elves in the early days of the siege, the elven elders also encouraged and even funded this behavior, some human mages in the surrounding area also wanted to help the elves, the elven elders thought about it, for safety reasons, the elders refused the human mage's visit, and began to use the magic lock to control the use of teleportation。

The situation was originally very harmonious, but soon, a former merchant mage gave up the practice of giving food to the citizens for free, and the citizens despised his behavior, but because he could get a special kind of maltose, the citizens who wanted to taste the taste of the maltose cake in the siege had to buy his goods at three times the usual market price, and soon, a second merchant mage began to follow suit, and more and more merchants began to follow suit.

The items smuggled by the mages are mainly all kinds of luxury goods, the elders have a tacit attitude towards this behavior, they also need a lot of money to rebuild the fortress after the war, strengthen the lock, because the mages need the permission of the lock to leave the city through teleportation, so the elven elders began to levy a large number of special taxes on the agent, the exploited mages began to raise prices aggressively, the elven citizens gave up the purchase of luxury goods, the mages began to sell the food that was originally distributed for free, and learned how to raise prices and hoard goods under the teaching of human traders。

The mage elves were surprised to find that in just a few months of siege, their gold coin income was worth the income of the past hundred years, unlike the elven commoners who still enjoyed an idyllic life, the day elf nobles and moon elf officers of Efrisca had been accustomed to the luxurious life comparable to that of human nobles in the past comfortable days, and the tree house could no longer satisfy them, they now lived in the sunken courtyard house of the Eternal Gathering Island, decorated with the marble fountain of the Tesser Kingdom, the garden glass conservatory was planted with snow lotus dug from the Ridge of the World, wearing the silk shirt of the Cormier Kingdom, and drinking elven honey using the exquisite sterling silver wine utensils in the business district of Waterdeep City。

The Elders, who found out that something was wrong, began to limit the price of food sold by the mages, requiring the mages to ensure that at least a certain percentage of the food was sold at a fair price, as a supplement to the food rations in the city, to ensure that the citizens could get enough rations, and the mages began to collude with the powerful Sun Elf nobles and Moon Elf officers to steal the food that should have been sold at a low price, deliberately causing a shortage of cheap food, hoarding goods, and selling food on the black market.

Elven mages need money to study spells, nobles need money to enjoy life, officers also yearn for a prosperous life after retirement, and at the same time need money to motivate their soldiers at this stage, the elven elders also need money to rebuild the fortress after the war, strengthen the defense of the maze, when the shadow canopy rises, and the ghost people come to help, everyone thinks that Fei Lin Demon Kui is about to be defeated under the attack of the Yin people, and everyone is fishing for it before the war is over.

It wasn't until the Shadow Spirits became the public enemies of Faeron and the Elven Army and the Waterdeep City Army were defeated that the Council of Elders realized that the war might continue for quite some time, and at this time, the rations that fell again and again could no longer meet the needs of the citizens, and the food in the black market began to become an important source of food for the citizens, and half of the officers and nobles in the city, two-thirds of the mages, and one-third of the members of the Senate participated in the black market business, and it was impossible to ban it.

The soldiers on the front line were busy calculating the salaries and food distributed today, busy sending the surplus food to the hungry families in the city, the generals had no intention of commanding, and were busy doing business, the mages were calculating how much magic materials could be purchased with the money they earned, and at the same time scolding the senators for being black-hearted, and the elven elders were scolding the mages for not keeping traditional, while carefully counting the money, only the elven priests worked hard to take care of the wheat fields in the city, but they didn't know that only a small part of the wheat would become the ration of the citizens, and more would be resold to the black market。

The oppressed citizens looked at the nobles of the city with hatred.

The elven priests who controlled the wheat fields found out about the fact that the wheat was being resold and refused to provide wheat to the Presbyterian Council again, but instead distributed wheat paste in the temple, just when the situation was getting better, a young priest who was desperate for what the city elves had done was tempted by the spider god Queen Rose and desecrated the idol of Corellon with spiders, and the enraged elven lord god cut off the divine power supply of the priests in the city on that day, and the life absorption spell of Ferin Demon Kwai took the opportunity to work, and all the wheat fields in the city withered.

Many civilians have been emptied of their wealth by the black market, after the ration of wheat paste disappeared, their only food supply also disappeared, many people starved to death in the city, when the first elf starved to death, the nobles in the city still felt a palpitation, but with the further increase in the number of people, the nobles are also numb, now every day there are nobles, even members of the elder group use teleportation to escape the city, the money of the commoners has been squeezed out of the almost, the black market trade is shrinking every day, the elven lord seems to have abandoned the city, no longer to the priests in the city to send a myth。

Despair gripped Ivreska.
