The hustle and bustle of the Tiya Forest also broke the peace of the Green Capital, and the news of the human invasion arrived, and the panic was like rats in the sewers.
Drusilia, who had just finished attending the war meeting, walked out of the palace, and Violet had been waiting for a long time.
"Something is wrong with trade?" said the princess, strange at her friend's restlessness.
"Of course not, nothing has started. I'm here to ...... Forget it, tell me about the state of the war at the conference, we civilians don't have any access to information. ”
Basically, the defensive battle began and ended just as briefly, but it still took a painful part. The Earbreaker's Guild's Slave Hunters and Ranger fought particularly fiercely, with decades of enmity between the two sides like fallen leaves in the rainforest, layer upon layer. And this time, most of the new fallen leaves are humans, and the unicorns have played a great role, and the detection spell alone has broken the balance of jungle warfare, and the elven rangers have the upper hand.
And healing spells and neutralizing toxins saved more than a dozen lives, and now in the army, every ranger reciprocated sincere gratitude and friendship to the unicorn. It is a pity that due to poor communication, some fighters were still missed. The rangers were still able to gesticulate, but the unicorns struggled to draw shapes with their hooves to make the elves understand that the process still needed to be run-in. Drusilia experienced both brilliant achievements and heavy responsibilities.
Speaking of the second attack of the human race, a small number of slave hunters led the way, and the human army poured into the forest. The consistent measures taken by the slave hunters are to steal, infiltrate, ambush, run away when they catch a captive, and try not to fight if they can avoid the rangers. Thousands of human armies were robbing, rushing through the forest perimeter like locusts to the settlements, whether it was self-grown spices, amateur works of art, or the silk costumes of civilians, in short, nothing could be taken away, and they were so crazy that they did not even let go of the profane clothes and pants.
The houses in the settlement were demolished and then set on fire, and although no elves were caught by the human army, they caused the greatest damage. The enemy is menacing but easy to target, and the forest is not a place for group operations after all. The ranger generals did not touch hard, and the army's shield array was not easy to break. But compared to the slave hunting squad, the enemy lacks the means to fight back.
Without five days, dehydration diseases, carnivorous plants, and cold arrows through the night made it difficult for the army. Wealthy seekers are driven by greed and are timid when the loss is greater than the gain. After 1o% casualties, the army collapsed and fled out of the forest. The ranger chased and killed, and the roots of the arbor trees on the southeast line drank blood.
"The enemy in the forest is basically cleared, and losses are being reported everywhere. Although most of the hostages were rescued, 25 of their compatriots were missing, and it is said that the leader of the human team was called 'Dogfish', and the rangers only found traces of their team. I remember hearing about him when I attended the Ranger Festival thirty years ago, can humans live that long, and dare to come at such an old age. ”
"You're talking about the father of the current dogfish, and that name is inherited. Ramesile came up to him.
Violet couldn't help but look back, and there was nothing.
"What's wrong?" asked the Ranger.
"Every time you pick up a conversation with us, it's like a ghost coming out from behind, and it's not like I'm used to seeing you head-on. The elven merchant quipped.
"Then I'll get rid of the positive ones. Ramesile turned his head, "Liya, has the Council of Elders addressed the issue of rescuing their compatriots outside the Guò Forest?"
"My father is working on this, and I don't think it's a big problem. ”
"Great. Ramesile summed up the killing of slave hunters into one sentence.
The ranger is gone, and he's going to report. Willett hesitated and said, "Liya, I don't know what to say...... I'm afraid the temple will block the issue of sending troops. ”
The princess's eyes widened, "No way! That's a compatriot, not an alien dragon." What reason does the temple have to object, if you dare to speak out and not rescue, who will believe in a god who betrays the race. Welllet, are you thinking too much. ”
"The High Priest does not need to object directly, as long as he questions the details of the dispatch and then drags the rhythm of the meeting into the normal rhythm, the purpose is achieved. ”
Drusilia gasped, the normal rhythm of the Council of Elders was to procrastinate and procrastinate, and trivial matters could be dragged on for days. When the issue of sending troops was cleared, the elves who were locked up in the slave capture and transit fortress outside the forest did not know where to go. “
"This ...... There must be a reason to do such a thing to the detriment of Tiyah, and there is no contradiction to the doctrine of rescuing his fellow citizens and being the Lord of the Rites. ”
"You come with me. Velletra led the princess to the opera of the Sunstrider. Drusilia was amazed to see that the theater was full, and it was a priest who spoke generously on the stage.
"Fellow citizens, I know your sorrows and confusions, just as I used to stumble through the labyrinth of life until I now shine in the light of the guidance of the Supreme One. ”
"I also understand why you are rejecting the faith. Questioning the authenticity of our Lord's existence and fearing the harshness of the way of the sadhana. Skepticism is not a sin, fear is common to all. But now, reality has proven that it is the dragon Lesatos who appeared outside the Green City!"
"What!" the princess, who was hidden in the audience with her hood, almost toppled over, as ridiculous as hearing a sparrow sing the praises of a python.
The priest watched the elves' reactions with satisfaction, and said, "The gods and dragons are hiding in epic mythology, and the latter has appeared to display strange powers. Then why is the Lord of the Rituals not real? I can tell you unequivocally that the eyes of the Supreme One are suspended above the Green Capital, watching over every Tia, and as long as he abides by the rituals, he will ascend to the kingdom of God after death!"
"Fellow citizens! Dragon's weapons and magic are paid for, but eternal life in the Kingdom of the Supreme One does not have to be paid! Etiquette is the beacon of entry into the Kingdom of God, and the door to self-salvation will never be closed! Praise be to Nielon who knows all laws!"
"Praise be to Neeron!" shouted the mesmerized audience, at least symbolically, if not believers, worried about the invisible Vision.
Violet quickly pulled the dazed princess out of the theater, and whispered on the way, "Dragons and gods are legends—dragons are real—so gods are real." What a simple syllogism, but enough to deal with the six gods and masterless compatriots. Due to the destruction of the human army, a large number of refugees poured into the green capital, and such lectures were held twice a day, and the effect was quite amazing, and the queue in front of the temple to ask for baptism was hundreds of meters. ”
"The most clever thing is that the temple only uses the authenticity of the Flame Mage, but it does not change the judgment of the evil nature of the dragon. You've been busy coordinating unicorns and armies for the past few days, and your faith has expanded rapidly. The High Priest will not allow the emergence of a 'hero who saves his fellow elves' to disrupt the situation. ”
Drusilia's mind was a mess, unwilling to admit reality, and she struggled to think of reasons to refute Villeret. Would the temple put faith above the interests of Tia as a whole? Yes, eleven eleven elvens who had fallen on the altar flashed into the princess's mind, and their fanaticism would be like this.
I thought that the temple that suffered a heavy blow in the god's birthday ceremony would be honest for a while, but I didn't expect the counterattack to be so sharp, and a few words of concept replacement won over the people.
"I can also give a speech to refute their fallacies. ”
"It didn't work. The businesswoman vetoed, "The people need faith to support them, and if you refute the temple's theories, the panicked believers won't be grateful to you." There is no reason to talk about the mentally disturbed refugees, who will transfer the suffering to you, thus pushing the royal family against the plebeians, which is exactly what the High Priest expects. Originally, as long as there could be a hero who rescued his compatriots, the situation could be broken, but now, alas, ......"
The weapon is gone, the unicorn is gone, why can't he bring back his helpless and struggling compatriots? What is the amount of his own efforts these days? Drusilia sat on the side of the road, curled up in pain.
"Only the recipient can see the magic envelope, you can soar wings! Just a little gem and gold coins, take them all home!"
The princess was attracted by the out-of-place cry, and the two ladies followed the sound to the fountain square, where they saw Vlamir holding seven or eight magical goods for sale.
"Look at this! The illusion music box, open it not only with music, but also with the image of a unicorn dancing, for only 2oo gold...... Isn't this Princess Liya, rude. The MONOCULUS smiled apologetically.
"I'm here to negotiate the trade rules, I've already reported it, and when I was waiting for the meeting, I couldn't help but see so many potential customers...... Hehe......"
"Good day, my name is Willett, and I happen to be in charge of trade, let's go to the commercial hall and talk. The businesswoman turned around, and was about to greet the princess, and went to see Drusilia holding the illusion music box, and her eyes were bright and terrifying.
"Liya?"
A mysterious smile flew up Drusilia's face, and she suddenly had a crazy thought, the temple won't let the hero appear, then she will be the hero herself!
"Let's go, go take stock of my possessions, and get ready to go to the Flame Mage's shop for a big purchase. Drusilia laughed and said a pun.
