The forest path, after a rain, became muddy.

On both sides of the road, the grass and trees are green, and the grass after the rain has a strong stubbornness, with tender buds, fluttering slightly in the wind, weak, but very strong.

Smack! Smack!

The rumbling sound came from far away from the road, and in the lush forest, there was no animal sound that could match it. Whether it's a tiger that chooses to devour people, or a pack of wild wolves.

Heavy armor, long leather boots, long swords at the waist, spears in hand, and shields on their backs, a brigade of hundreds of heavy infantry was marching through the forest.

The soil was soft, and the soldiers stepped on it, printing one footprint after another, and it was messy. The cold of the morning had not subsided, and there was still a trace of dissatisfaction on the soldier's face.

This is a well-armed regiment of heavy infantry!

But only in the case of being well-equipped.

Between the trees on both sides, a long feather exposed a cluster of arrows, and the chill was forested. Then, the second, the third, more and more long feathers appeared silently.

Boom, a long beep. On the trail, the marching army inexplicably stagnated, and the formation of the entire team became loose.

At that moment, neither the commander of this army nor the soldiers on the march could understand what that trumpet just now meant.

The answer was soon revealed.

Behind the long feathers, the owners of the longbow did not think about it, and released the bowstring that had already been drawn.

Woohoo!

Feathered arrows flew in a flurry of arrows, with an incomparably sharp whistling sound, breaking through the obstruction of the sky and shooting into the gaps between the armor of the soldiers.

It was an unusually well-planned ambush.

It was also an unusually successful ambush.

On top of the tall trees in the woods, Will stood in a black cloak on the towering thick branches of the old trees. Beside him, Rommel was standing aside.

The battle was clear, and the elven archers fired several rounds to demoralize the well-armed hoplite brigade. Afterwards, dozens of elven huntress riding nighttooth leopards rushed into the warband, scattering the defensive lines that had been organized with great difficulty below. "My lord, we are now deep in Valdeck. In accordance with the orders of His Majesty Reso, we have settled for him a part of the army that he wants to assemble in Valdeck. It seems that Navarre's army is coming over in the next few days. ”

Will smiled and said, "It's not these days, I'm afraid that this afternoon at the latest, the two legions of Reso will have to pass through this trail." ”

"My lord, I don't understand why Rayso is attacking Waldeck with the two newly created legions, instead of his elite Thunder Lion Legion?"

"Reso is a king and a commander, and he understands that no soldier who has ever been on the battlefield, no matter how well he is trained, will always be a line behind the elite soldiers. Therefore, he wants to smooth out the gap in this line. ”

Rommel frowned and said, "Just like this, wouldn't it be too risky?"

"There's nothing that isn't risky. The three princely states, including Waldeck, occupied important trade routes around Navarre and were of great military and strategic importance. If he doesn't take it today, if he waits for Sancho to free up his hand tomorrow, the danger will be even greater. ”

Rommel nodded, although he was not familiar with the things in the south, but these days, with Will, he also knew about the same.

The south is mountainous to the east, and the land of Navarre occupies the largest plain between the hills. As a result, Navarre's national power far outstripped that of the smaller countries around him.

It's just that the surrounding area is mountainous and endless, so it is surprising that there are only a few passages for Navarre to go out. Several crossings north into Valen and southwest to the southern coast of the southern border were in Navarre's hands. To the east, the important passes and waterways into the southern hinterland were controlled by the three princes of Waldeck.

If Reso does not take back all the passages controlled by these three princes, then once it is blocked, Navarre's domestic goods will be greatly affected if they want to enter the southern hinterland, almost devastating.

"My lord, there is one thing that I am always worried about. The elves are too involved in human affairs, and once someone finds out, will there be a problem on Rayso's side?"

"Are you worried that he will turn against the water then?"

Looking at the worry on Rommel's face, Will smiled and said.

Since the destruction of the Elven Empire, the Elves have been scattered everywhere, and the attitude of the human world towards the Elven race has always been subtle.

Unlike the hatred of the vicious orcs of the northern wastelands of Mount Ohios, the fear of the undead in the underworld of Heim, or even the temptation of power from the demons of Tartarus.

As for the elves, on the one hand, human beings covet their beauty, and the slave trade rises in private. On the one hand, humans have always maintained a certain distance from the power that elves possess.

Neither deliberately approaching, nor deliberately distancing.

This is true in the north, and it is the same in the south.

If it were known to others, His Majesty Resso, the king of Navarre, had cooperated with the elves in private, and then there would be a lot of discussion. Where will public opinion at home and abroad go, and what will Resso choose when the time comes? This is what worries Rommel the most.

"Resso already had a choice, and the moment he sent his troops, his choice was already decided. ”

.......

Towering magic towers, wide and bright streets, typical Gothic architecture. It is a huge city with a population of one million and a vast area, and it is also the headquarters of the Magic Guild.

Eda!

The Southern Magical Alliance is not a political organization, nor is it a military organization, but it controls most of the mages in the South.

There is no greater force in the human world than magic in the hands of magicians. Mastering the mage means mastering the human world.

The Magic Guild was originally an academic organization, and at this moment, most of the magic academies in the southern realm were originally opened by the Magic Guild.

Later, as more and more magicians joined the group. Many countries in the South took notice of the existence of this organization, especially after the court mages of Capet and Castille joined the Magic Guild, and the Magical League came into being.

The Magic Alliance has twelve CEOs under its president to carry out day-to-day tasks. In addition, there is the Council of Directors, which determines the major policies and matters of the Magic Alliance.

In the bright conference room at this moment, under the leadership of Vice President Nanna, the Empress of Castile, a group of directors are holding their daily meetings.

"This is a legal document submitted by the new king of Navarre, Reso, look at it. ”

The Magic Alliance does not have legislative power, but the newly enacted and revised legal documents of each country should logically provide a backup to the Magic Alliance for archiving. A sneer rang out in this huge conference room.

"It was just sneaking around, but now it's a matter of ignoring it?"

The directors opened the thick parchment in their hands and found that there was a line of large letters written on the head of the document.

"Elven Citizenship New Amendment Act"!

Oh my God! How can a child as responsible as a baby be unfinished?
