Verse 139.Conquer them with Liberty City
The atmosphere of urgency was temporarily eased by Annan's invitation.
The bark elves looked at Serana, and the deaut gestured to him.
"It's going to be different from all the human city-states you understand......" the Treant Druid encouraged.
"Then let me see, what makes Treebeard willing to rebel against the Druid......" The bark elf's cold gaze fell on Annan: "...... Annan Porter, lead the way. ”
"Come with me, and besides, you can just call me Annan."
The druids gathered around Annam, while the druid avengers followed.
"Mr. Treeman, are you all right?" Annan took the initiative to greet.
Treebeard chuckled like an old man, "We settled in the Third Demon Beast Mountain Range, where there is no nezumi threat, and no humans will run into the depths of the forest. What about you? ”
"It was hard at first...... We were forced to flee the North, and the hundreds of thousands of people from Starmoon Bay and Breeze City were evacuated after being brought to Middle-earth, leaving only more than 10,000 people to follow us. Olmedo took them to buy the Typhoon Shelter Town in the Third Monster Forest Mountain Range, and I came to the Tatunn Empire to seek a fiefdom......"
Annan told Treebeard what had happened in the past few months, and the druids and Avengers heard about it.
"Wow, I don't even know." "Is your city-state a floating city? So why not go up? ”
If there were envoys around, Annan would say that the floating city was just a way to escape danger, and that it would be more profitable to be a terrestrial city. If you are surrounded by your own people, Annan will tell you the truth: the scope of the arcane core is too small, when can I make the area of a city float, I will do it again. But it was a group of druids, and Annan said, "The ground under our feet gave birth to us, and we should not plunder her flesh...... How I wish Liberty City would never have to rise ......"
But the deauer still looked at Annan with a smile that seemed to know everything...... The polygraph should be over.
"So you enslave the undead?"
The bark elves whispered coldly, and the druid avengers had seen the skeleton men busy in the wheat fields.
"Their aura of death has been dispelled, and now it's just a bunch of moving bones ground into powder that nourish the earth." Annan rightly said: "Isn't it precious that we have turned the skeletons that should have brought death and withering into gardeners who protect life and preserve nature?" ”
As much as the Treant Druids admire, the Bark Elves hate it......
"You have destroyed nature!"
The bark elves were obviously not good at debating, and Annan, who wandered among the noblewomen, had already developed a talent for speaking: "I have no intention of accusing your teachings, but ...... What is Nature? ”
"Everything is back to its original state."
"All life follows the laws that this world gives itself...... Is it? ”
The bark elves felt that something was wrong, but Annan's words were not wrong: "Yes......"
"So I think it's natural for sheep to eat grass, it's natural for wild animals to eat sheep, and it's natural for us to eat wild beasts and sheep...... We cut down trees to build houses, used firewood for warmth, and farmed and harvested to feed ourselves...... We are all following the laws of this world, and we have never set fire to mountains and killed other lives to satisfy our selfish desires......"
But it didn't work, just like they couldn't convince Annan, and Annan couldn't convince them.
Druid Avengers are all beings who have changed their minds after upheaval. Their only thought is revenge: revenge on those who have destroyed nature and balance, and for those who have harmed nature to pay.
All Annan could do was plant a seed:
"Mr. Treebeard taught me a lot, like the druid's understanding of nature: it is grand, invisible, permanent and silent. Druids follow the laws and rhythms of nature and do not do anything that goes against nature. They understand nature as much as they understand themselves...... So I don't hate you...... On the contrary, I can understand you. ”
The bark elves remained silent.
"We have been destroyed by the nezumi and you have destroyed nature, in the flames of vengeance, we will all feel lonely and helpless, we can still build new homes, but you are gradually losing touch with nature for revenge, which is what you should have as druids...... You find yourselves becoming less and less like yourselves and more and more like the people you hate in your quest for revenge. ”
If this passage is a seed, then it needs sunlight and water and soil for it to germinate.
Several blue dragons appeared in the sky at the right time
Annan waved to the blue dragons. Elimoas ignored him, and instead let out a childish dragon roar from the three young dragons that followed behind.
"Blue Dragon ......"
Annan's words still echoed in their hearts, and they began to think that perhaps the Treant Druid was right...... It's different from all the human city-states they understand.
Then, following the neat road to this elf-style city-state with plants planted on the side of the road, they saw the old orcs again.
The old orc looked at the orc druid, and the orc druid looked at the old orc.
"Your city-state still has orcs?"
The bark elves looked at the old orcs: there were no signs of shackles or servitude, and the brown skin, which had lost its elasticity from old age, drooped, only the scars of the past......
"Let's go over." The bark elf said.
The orc druid nodded calmly and came to the old orc.
"We want to create a city-state where all races can live in peace."
Annan, who was going to lead the druids to see the saplings, changed his mind and went to the blacksmith's shop.
Goblin Dorai is directing a group of workers to lift the spinning machine onto the cart.
"Lord Annan......" Dorai, a goblin in a white robe, looked behind Annan.
"There are some guests, you go and call the copper beard."
Goblin Dolai ran inside, and after a while Soruman Copperbeard's grumbling voice rang out, "Do you know how busy I am...... Druid? You're new to the trick? ”
"Ahem...... They are the Druid Avengers, our guests. ”
The bark elves looked at Dorai and then at the copperbeard: "Dwarves and goblins? ”
This was more incomprehensible to the druid avengers than seeing elves and orcs...... The vengeful dwarves and goblins are almost feuds, and they actually live in peace here.
The druid avengers did not know Soruman Copperbeard's connection to that organization, and thought it was Annan's doing.
Then Annan asked Deira and the centaurs to appear, and finally came to the foot of the forest and mountains, looking at the saplings that seemed to have no end in sight.
"So we don't have an irresolvable contradiction."
It was at this time that the druid avengers had a different opinion of Annan.
Gema raised her head proudly, and the agile tail of the centaur next to her was like a fluffy ball, and the impulse that brought Annan was stronger than Gemma's chestnut head.
