Chapter 623: Twenty Years of Stormy Clouds

"In the past twenty years of exile by you, His Highness has continuously relied on his talent for business to amass a large amount of wealth, and with this wealth, he has continuously strengthened the strength of Hill City, and in just twenty years, Hill City has become a force to be reckoned with in the Dark Mountains!" Shadow sighed in a long voice. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"It's really not easy to ......" After listening to the Shadow's narration, although the Elf King said words similar to praise, he didn't think so in his heart.

Because, the elf king knows very well that most of the residents in Hill City are human beings with short lifespans, and the short life span is not the worst, the worst thing is that there are no strong people among those human beings, and their number is not much, only about 2,000 people, such a situation, no matter how fierce Hill City is, it has no ability to continue to expand its sphere of influence, after all, the population is there.

After seeing the elf king's disdainful attitude, the shadow sighed silently, he knew very well that arrogance was the root of all failures, and the elf king had the problem of arrogance, and the shadow knew better that although the elf king was also a capable person, but, compared to his sons, he was far worse, coupled with his lustful and extravagant character weaknesses, to be honest, he was really not suitable to be the elf king.

Helpless, but the shadow can't help it, because, his family, for generations, has existed as the elf king's secret guard, and every member of his family has signed a blood oath since birth, to be loyal to the elf king forever, and can never betray, if it weren't for this, according to the character of the shadow, he would have run away a long time ago.

"We also inquired," although he was helpless against the attitude of the Elf King, however, what should be said, Shadow would continue: "In the past twenty years, Hill City has experienced no less than two hundred wars, and at the beginning, it was a small group of undead forces near Hill City that attacked Hill City, and the number of those forces was not large, comparable to Hill City, but Hill City was still beaten quite badly in the early construction period. ”

"What about later...... The Elven King continued to look out the window, looking at the guards who were busy in the city to hunt down the enemy, and asked the shadow faintly.

"Later, His Highness used the money in his hands to constantly woo, buy, and provoke the relationship between the undead forces near Hill City, and soon, those undead forces were destroyed in internal friction, and Hill City was temporarily safe in the early construction period," Shadow took a deep breath and continued: "After less than two years of peace, the other forces in the Dark Mountain Range also wanted to take advantage of the fact that the primitive forces in the Hill City area were almost vacuum. ”

"However, after two years of construction, Hilltown has changed a lot," Shadow continued, shaking his head slightly, " That time, the siege of Hill City was a kobold tribe, they did their best, sent a team of 5,000 people to besiege Hill City, if it was placed two years ago, this enemy, has enough to level Hill City, but, this 5,000 kobold elite soldiers, after two months of attack, more than half of the dead and wounded, did not take Hill City, and even, on the way they had no choice but to retreat, they were ambushed, in the end, less than 500 people returned to the tribe, this war, so that the kobold tribe lost 90% of its combat power, and soon, the kobold tribe was eradicated by other forces。 ”

"Ambush...... It's like something Erio likes to do, I've never heard of him in a frontal battle, and he seems to be a little afraid of facing the enemy head-on......" After listening to the battle described by Shadow, the Elven King didn't absorb any useful tactical knowledge from it, but instead complained about it.

"I think this trick of His Royal Highness is quite powerful, which is also in line with his usual business habits, that is, pay the least price and get the greatest benefit......" Although Shadow disagreed with the Elf King's opinion, he did not directly oppose the Elf King and angered Long Yan, he just objectively stated his opinion.

"That's right, you're right, it's true that he acts like a shrewd businessman in whatever he does......" The Elven King nodded in agreement with Shadow's opinion.

"Since that battle, the rise of Hill City has really begun, and His Highness has used the resources in his hands to form alliances with the surrounding goblins, minotaurs, and undead forces, and also help the surrounding forces fight their enemies, and soon, the area where Hill City is located has become a relatively safe area within the Dark Mountains. The Shadow continued.

"This is indeed a great achievement," the Elf King nodded slightly, and then praised Wang Xu rarely: "I traveled in the Dark Mountain Range when I was young, that place, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, the mountains are numerous, and the terrain is very suitable for the division of small forces, I heard that in that place, there are at least tens of thousands of different small forces, I think, if the small forces in the Dark Mountain Range are twisted into a rope, then, its combat power is enough to sweep the entire Eastern Continent, it is estimated that even the Dragon Clan is not its opponent!"

"You're right, the Dark Mountains area is too vast, its area is almost ten times more than our Elven Forest, I estimate, except for the Northern Frost Highlands, there is no area on this road that can be compared to the Dark Mountain Range......" Shadow secretly praised the Elven King.

"It's not easy for Mario to take root in the Dark Mountains......," there was silence for a moment, and the Elven King sighed again.

"That's right, I think that among the princes exiled by you, there is no doubt that His Royal Highness Hero's ability is the strongest, except for him who established his own power and grew stronger step by step, the rest of the princes' highnesses are all living under the fence in the way of taking refuge in foreign races, and the reason why they can be accepted by foreign races is that they still use the excuse of being enemies of you and fighting against the elven race, only His Royal Highness Io, from beginning to end, has not said a word of disrespect to you. The Shadow whispered a whisper from the Elven King.

"That's true," After listening to the Shadow's praise of Wang Xu, the Elf King nodded slightly in agreement, and then shook his head and said, "I originally wanted to hand over the Northern Legion to him and let him go to the northern border to deal with that rebel from Dons, but, from the information I heard, Heroio also has weaknesses, he almost never personally commands the army, I have doubts about his ability to lead troops?"

"Yes, your apprehension is right, I also think that His Highness is not capable of commanding a large army, but I think that His Highness seems to know this weakness of his own, so he has handed over his troops to his own subordinates to command, and he only occasionally comes up with ideas......" Shadow also felt that Wang Xu's act of releasing military power was a big hidden danger.

"However, I suspect that it may be that Her Royal Highness is too strong herself, so ......" Shadow made an assumption about Wang Xu's act of delegating power.

"Is it...... the Elf King took a deep breath and asked the Shadow with a little jealousy, "How ......strong do you think he is now?"
