[[[cp|:4o2|h:537|a:c|u:c.{0,10}o.{0,10}]]] The sunset over the Tia Forest was beautiful, and the sun was gentle everywhere in Bissalap, and from the lookout of the royal court, the twilight with its sweet cheese color fell on the whole elven city, reflecting the city like citrine dotted in the middle of the rainforest.

But in the field of vision of the elven girl standing in front of the fence, what she saw was not a beautiful veil of light, but a curtain that symbolized death and despair. Behind the curtain is a poignant opera of civilization decaying and withering. The three human kingdoms to the east and south of the Tiya Forest, connecting more than a dozen small city-states, have completely sealed off the elves.

The elf turned, her movements graceful and dignified, and the princess's crown on her forehead, decorated with yamu leaves and moss-patterned agate, shone brightly, announcing the status of the wearer. The girl saluted her father, the Elven King, who was walking towards her. The princess is going to have a tongue-in-cheek duel with her father, who is also her opponent, today, which may affect the future of the eleven thousand elves.

The Elven King nodded back, and he said in a stern and unloving tone, "Good day, Drusilia." You don't know how beautiful the scene I just saw, the sunset shines through the observation deck to form a honey-colored backlight, and your figure is close to perfection from every angle, and you should really let the court painter leave it. ”

"Your compliments make me happy, Father. Did you know that yesterday the settlement to the east was attacked by a human slave catcher, and three of our compatriots were captured? Drusilia's expression was not at all happy and she was rude to start another topic.

Oh, it's really reckless and straightforward, the elf king is helpless: "I understand that the bow and arrow of the forest ranger also left the corpses of 7 slave hunters, may they atone for their sins in the kingdom of God." The Elven King mentions God, hinting at the end of the topic.

Drusilia turned a deaf ear and said, "I want you to give me the power to lead 5oo forest rangers in pursuit, recapture my compatriots and destroy the human slave hunting stronghold. ”

The Elven King's tone was less loving: "How do you find the strongholds, they are all on the outskirts of the Tia Forest. ”

"I followed the slave catchers to the northeast of the royal court, out of the forest 5o Surrey, which was a small fortress. ”

"As you say, it's a fortress, and you're going to let the rangers take it with bows and swords?"

"It's never been attacked, it's loosely guarded, and I'm confident. ”

"Lia, Liya. The Elven King pointed out ruthlessly, "Have you ever wondered how much 5oo elite rangers would lose in order to rescue 3 elves!3o? or even 5o?"

"Thought, but it was worth it. The elven girl's voice was soft, but the content was almost cold.

"What!" the Elven King was taken aback.

"Father, take a closer look at your kingdom!" the girl looked up to the outside of the lookout, as if a doctor was urgently pointing out the tumor on her body. "Our trade is blocked, our forces are weakening, and the elves can only stand within the dividing line between the forest and the plain and watch in agony as their loved ones are taken captive, imagining the humiliation and torture they have endured and are powerless! ”

"Before the humans hunt down the elves, our spirit will precede the **death!The compatriots need a military action, a decisive and fierce attack, to tell the elven people of the entire Tiya Forest, hope is not broken! The royal army can still protect them, and the aliens will not be able to move an inch in the forest! What to use to awaken the elves' silent spirit of resistance, blades, glory, and even ......" Drusilia paused, "Blood. ”

The Elven King pursed his thin lips silently, which made him look very majestic. It seems that when the Elven King integrated the forces within the clan, his daughter was no longer a child who coddled her father with a short bow and a collection of poems, and the cruel reality made a warrior...... Or idealistic.

Drusilia stared proudly at her father, like a gladiator with a sword in hand, ready for the next stab from her opponent. No reason can stop me, the princess said to herself. Unfortunately, the king threw not a sword, but a hammer.

"We don't have weapons anymore. ”

"What!" it was the princess's turn to be taken aback, and she was completely out of consideration for this reason.

"Iron ore hasn't entered the Tia Forest since the Darkhammer Dwarves cut off contact with us, and the Elven Wizards haven't forged new weapons for a long time. The rangers on patrol had long since alternated between scimitars and daggers. My daughter, do you think that as the king of Tia's eleven thousand elves, I will be indifferent to my people? Ask the guard at the door if he dares to pull out his weapon, the inside of the scabbard is made of chestnut wood! Most of the metal weapons of the royal family were given to the forest patrols. I can't let anyone know that half of Tia's forest army is already bare-handed, both internally and externally. ”

The Elven King's tone softened slightly, making him sound less harsh. "If I give you 5oo rangers, then at least 15o Surrey's defense line will be made of wood to defend against the enemy, you must know that there are enemies not only in the east...... Recently, craftsmen are secretly making a batch of bone arrow clusters, hoping to fill the gap......"

Drusilia sat down in a high-backed chair, her ears filled with cruel whispers. The elves' predicament was ten times worse than she expected, not only did destroying the stronghold become delusional, but even the army was no longer equipped to attack...... How sad it is that the 50,000-year-old elven civilization has degenerated to the same level of weapons as the highland barbarians surrounded by animal skins.

The Elf King stretched out his slender and delicate hand to grasp his daughter's hand, and rubbed Drusilia's fingertips with his warm, dry palm, just as he had been when he was a child. "Child, that's not your responsibility, the Elders and I will be able to hold the skies of Tia Forest, and the human invasion won't last long. ”

The girl closed her eyes, her long, curved eyelashes trembled slightly, and leaned into her father's arms. The Elven King heard that empty comfort had no effect, and he needed to change the subject, just as she had laughed with an elegant sonnet when she was a child.

"Liya, how did you track down the human stronghold, although the royal guards don't have sharp weapons, they haven't changed their eyes to chestnut wood - you stayed in the attic yesterday. ”

"Because of Poirot. ”

"Poirot?" There was a large group of suitors for the daughter, but every handsome elven king knew that it did not include a silly boy named Poirot, not to mention that the name did not conform to the naming conventions of Tia elves.

Drusilia whistled, and a white-feathered short-tailed magpie flew into the lookout and landed on the princess's free shoulder, chirping and chirping. It is a very common forest songbird, a small but short-distance flyer.

"Poirot is smarter than any other bird, and it remembers a lot of things besides ladybugs and pine nuts, and I let it follow humans all the way......" The Elven King watched his daughter talk about how to complete a full set of Ranger scouting with a bobtail magpie, and as she spoke, the smile returned to Riya's face, her amber eyes showed a gentle flame, and her face showed two lovely laughing nests, and her pale green head seemed to flutter in her graceful and bold pleasure.

This is my green capital jade stone, and a passionate fighter is not suitable for her. The Elven King tried not to sound like an admonition, "Lia, can you make your conversation with Poirot a secret for the three of us? ”

Once again, the smile faded from Drusilia's face, the temple doctrine said that the elves were the creatures of the gods, holy and pure, that the elven language was subtle and mysterious, and that any use of the elven language against a foreign race, even a bird, was disrespectful and blasphemous to the gods.

"Father, I respect God just as you do in the end, but that doesn't mean that the Temple can impose faith on me. If it weren't for the rigid and closed doctrine of the temple, how could we have broken off relations with the dwarves. If the priests want to condemn me to blasphemy for reciting a book of poems to a short-tailed magpie, let them come!"

The Elven King's eyebrows were tangled like a pair of swords, and he really didn't want to start the argument again. Whatever you want to do with someone or something, as long as you can give him a valid reason to leave here.

"Gah!"

Poirot let out an exaggerated chirp that was so high that it was out of tune, and then fell straight off Lea's shoulder, her head hidden in her wings and shrunk into a ball, shivering. This is not a mournful scream, but a terrible exclamation that suddenly appeared on the side of the tree python's fishy mouth, but there will be no snakes on the lookout of the royal court.

In the next moment, the hearts of the elven father and daughter seemed to be crushed by a rolling torrent. Even if you are surrounded by ten rainforest split-toothed leopards and stare, is there such an extreme sense of oppression. It's as if the whole world wants to squeeze you together, fear, anxiety, and nervousness are mixed together, and the two elves feel mentally suffocated.

The sense of coercion suddenly disappeared, and the father and daughter took a sharp breath. The twilight of the observatory turned from bright to dark and from dark to bright. The two elves ran to the lookout and leaned on the handrail to look out.

A large and irregular block of shadows swept past the green capital, and chickens and dogs jumped everywhere they passed. Drusilia raised her head vigorously, trying to see what was blocking the sun. The first thing that catches the eye is a large area of golden scale armor that spreads all the way to the long tail. The inverted triangle-shaped huge scales, tangled and powerful majestic bone joints, and the air flow across the surface of the wing membrane produces a loud rumbling sound.

"Dragon!" the girl's voice was full of surprise.

"Dragon ......" father's voice was full of heaviness.

In just a few breaths, the huge dragon beast flew out of the Green Capital Realm. The majestic figure went all the way to the north and quickly disappeared from view. It's not that the elves can clearly distinguish the species of birds flying in the distance, but that the dragon has lowered its altitude and is obscured by the verdant ancient trees.

The Elven King and Drusilia stared closely at the end of the flock of birds, exchanging worried glances.

It's too close.

"Less than 5o Sarri, with the degree of that dragon, he can fly to the green capital in the blink of an eye, and he doesn't even have enough time to arrange defense. ”

The princess affirmed: "That location is a small river valley, which I am familiar with. Father, the rangers can get close to him at night, I can ......"

"You can't!" the Elven King's refusal was stern and crisp. "It doesn't take the princess's job to find out this kind of thing, and no one knows how dangerous this creature that has been extinct in Salaphim for a long time is. You are not allowed to go anywhere, stay here, and I will watch you myself. ”

Drusilia bowed her head obediently, lest she be seen with the excitement in her eyes.
