Section 14
After the death of his father, Aker Ella was the logical successor to the dukedom. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the more than ten years that the old Grand Duke Ella was the prime minister of the Middle Kingdom, the actual ruler of the Hoko Islands was this Acre, so his succession to the title was just a ceremony, and no one dared to question his rule.
Unlike his father, who was peaceful and patient, he was irascible and irritable, and those who worked under him were often punished for inconsequential things, so he was not loved by his subordinates.
Of course, the proud nobleman didn't care about the attitude of his subordinates towards him, the nobles called him a tyrant, but the commoners loved him and said he was a good ruler.
Ake's ability is undoubted, in the past ten years, the many islands of the Hoko archipelago have been well managed by him, and the transactions with goblins and elves have earned him a lot of wealth.
Because the Hawke Islands were so far away from the Elland mainland, it was already March 29 for Ake to receive the king's order, and he had no interest in the war.
The new Duke, who was more pragmatic, felt that the war would do him no good but to give him some useless praise, and that it would cost the precious lives of those soldiers in vain.
He was against joining the fight.
However, the nobles below don't see it that way, they feel that this is an excellent time to show their strength to those nobles in the interior.
The nobles of the island even fantasized about what they would do to save the nobles of the royal capital who had been laughing at their barbarism all day long when they were beaten to the bottom by the orcs.
However, before the aristocracy's dreams had even begun, they were disrupted by a nightmare.
A few days ago, in the middle of the night on March 27, on a small island northeast of the Hoko Islands, an event that changed the fate of the Hoko Islands was quietly unfolding.
That night, while the island's inhabitants were asleep, a mysterious army was quietly landing, each with its soldiers tall and burly and dressed in well-made leather armor.
When this army marches in the dark, it can be seen clearly without any lighting, and they don't even make a sound when they walk.
These are werewolves who have disappeared for hundreds of years, and they have quietly sneaked back to the Hoko Islands!
The army numbered less than two hundred, and everywhere they passed, all the human beings were ruthlessly torn apart, even the babies in their swaddling clothes.
From what they have done, it can be seen that they are no longer the peace-loving werewolves of hundreds of years ago.
These werewolves remember the last words of their ancestors: our goodness has been shattered by humans, and one day, we will make it a hundred times more painful for us!
The last words of the ancestors have been passed down from generation to generation, and the werewolf descendants have worked hard for this moment, many of their predecessors have fallen on this path, and now, the time for revenge has come.
The hundreds of human villagers in this isolated island village were slaughtered by them, and not even a single one escaped.
"Well done, Ian!" said a relatively diminutive figure, an elf, but unlike the elves of the Babylen Forest, he had a slightly darker complexion and longer ears.
Ian wiped the blood from his claws expressionlessly, and said lightly, "This is just the beginning, Orn!"
"Yes, this is just the beginning, the gods are fair, three hundred years, we have given enough, it's time to get a little reward!"
This elf is supposed to be the descendants of those elves who were exiled hundreds of years ago, who have given up their belief in nature, given up immortality, learned human reproduction methods, and learned human technology, just for the time to come.
In fact, the reason why those elves were banished is directly related to the competition between humans and werewolves for the Hoko Islands.
Because, before humans discovered the Hoko Islands, the elven kingdom had a connection with the werewolves on the island, and the two races loved nature from the bottom of their hearts, and they quickly established a deep friendship.
This is also the most fundamental reason why when humans proposed to lease land to build a military port, the elven council refused, but the resolute attitude of humans made the elven upper rulers waver.
They did not dare to bring their own country into the war, not to mention that the opponent was still the overlord of the continent, and under this pressure, the elven kingdom betrayed its werewolf friends and signed a pact with humans.
Some of the elves were disappointed by the concessions of the upper rulers, and they went into self-exile instead of being banished by their council, as recorded in the history of the elves.
These self-exiled elves, after receiving the werewolves who had been driven out of the Hoko Islands, established their home on the first island farther from the mainland.
The two clans get along very well on the island, and they silently lick their wounds, waiting for the moment of revenge. They rarely communicate with the outside world, but constantly send spies to the interior to inquire about the news, and then bring advanced knowledge and technology with the interior
Finally, after three hundred years of development and growth, they already have their own kingdom and civilization, and they call themselves the Kingdom of Misha.
A few years ago, an emissary from the Kingdom of Misha approached Shikan to help the chief gain control of the orc tribes in the north, and at the same time agreed with Shikan on a plan to jointly invade the human kingdom.
The Great Chief of Shikan lived up to their expectations and really convinced the other two Great Chiefs to lead the entire orc tribe to start invading the human kingdom.
Now, the time is ripe, and they vow to avenge their ancestors and reclaim the land their people lost.
By the time Ake learned that his territory had been invaded, the army of the Kingdom of Misha had already captured dozens of small islands in the northeast of the Hoko Islands, and their current forces were approaching the second largest island in the Hoko Islands, Cerves.
Enraged, Ake executed his intelligence officer, as well as the naval officers who were supposed to patrol the area.
When dozens of heads hit the ground, Ark ushered in an emissary from the Kingdom of Misha, an old werewolf whose mane had turned white and his originally strong legs were a little weak.
When the old werewolf walked, it felt as if he would be blown down by a gust of wind at any moment.
Ark sat on the lord's throne in the hall of his castle fortress, and he was now unexpectedly very patient, staring at the old messenger of the werewolf, and slowly walked in step by step.
