Chapter 554 [War?]

Listening to Lan Lan's words, Han Ye's eyes became strange.

Love?

Well, with the nature of elves, a love of beautiful affairs, to put it bluntly, it is a race that is willing to be romantic to death, and it is extremely normal to sprout any spark of love.

It's just that...... And a human? That's a little bit abnormal.

Elves are romantic, but at the same time extremely conservative. Elves are extremely reluctant to intermarry with other races, which is almost "traditional".

Most of the stories that have been passed down in history are of a human boy falling in love with a beautiful elf woman. But...... An elven woman who fell in love with a human and was willing to abandon her tribe and run away from home for the sake of this human being...... That's a bit excessive.

Tata protested in time: "Nonsense! It's clear that the hateful human deceive my sister with his rhetoric! Barossa is a simple and kind girl! Her heart is as pure as crystal!"

Lan Lan simply stopped talking, she just sighed and spread her hands.

Hanye hesitated for a moment and chose to take a step back: "Okay, I want to ...... this kind of thing I don't know the truth, so I don't have a position to say anything. However......" Cold Night still chose to support her human friend: "She didn't kidnap your sister, even if the human who took your sister knew her, I don't think I can put the blame on her." ”

Emotionally, Cold Night is still slightly biased towards Lan Lan, so her word is "take away" instead of "abduction".

"It's all the same. There's nothing good about humans!" Tata whispered angrily.

Lan Lan suddenly had a strong sense of absurdity in her heart.

Two years ago, he left the forest with Darling Chen...... At the beginning, it was obvious that he was with Darling Chen, and then he ...... He chose to leave him and be by Du Weiwei's side...... After that, the elf chased after him. And then ......

Now, this elf named Tata wants to say that he kidnapped his sister?

Belch...... If you talk about it, at the beginning, I and the female elf named Barossa should be considered rivals in love, right?

It's ridiculous.

"I don't have anything to say, I've said what needs to be said. It doesn't really have much to do with me. Lan Lan said lightly: "I know that guy...... That's all. As for your sister's departure, I don't know about it. ”

"At least...... You have to tell me where he took my sister!"

Lan Lan's heart suddenly moved.

She stared at Tata carefully, and then noticed something out of the ordinary.

This elf ...... He carried a small burden behind him.

Well?

"Elves. You don't want to go to the human world to find your sister, do you?" Lan Lan's tone was a little solemn.

"Why not!" Tata's emotions grew agitated.

"It's not a good idea. She glanced at the cold night, and then stared at Tata again: "You are an elf, you don't know anything about the human world. And...... It is very dangerous for an elf to walk alone into the human world. ”

"I'm not afraid of danger. Tata was very resolute, and he patted his sword: "I have the ability to protect myself. ”

"I'm sure you're pretty skilled, in fact I have a crush on the elven tribes near the Great Round Lake, when I was training in this forest. I've received a lot of help from the elves. But I still warn you that this is definitely a very bad idea. Lan Lan tried to make her tone sound sincere: "The human world is not all people like me who are easy to talk to. There are also many sinister thugs, cunning and greedy merchants, and even ...... Slavers! Elves like you. It's the prey that the slavers want to catch!"

Lan Lan's warning was very sincere, and she didn't tell a lie.

Although it has been peaceful for more than a hundred years, the human slave traders have never given up the pursuit of profits, and the beauty of the elves is their favorite commodity - the beauty of the elves. It is the greatest source of tragic fate for them.

A female elf is the finest commodity. Because of the natural beauty of the elves, many wealthy nobles in the empire like to buy some female elves as private treasures, among the top wealthy families in the empire. Which family doesn't have a few elven confinements?

It's almost the ethos.

Moreover, because the life span of the elf race is relatively long, at least much longer than that of humans, an elf slave girl can even serve two or three generations of human masters, and she can maintain her youth and beauty for decades. This kind of superb collection is the most popular among the rich and noble among mankind.

Compared to the high value of female elves, male elven slaves are also very popular.

On the one hand, it is naturally a strange taste of some human nobles, after all, liking men's style is not too rare among nobles. In addition, male elven slaves have another important role, which is to ...... Breeding.

Yes, it's not ridiculous.

Because elven slaves are very difficult to capture - elves rarely leave the frozen forest, and it is very difficult to catch nature's darling elves in the great forest, and if you don't do it, you can lose your life.

So many slave traders would choose the safer option: to breed on their own.

In fact, the vast majority of elven slaves currently circulating within the empire are bred by slave traders themselves.

As long as an elf is captured, she (he) can be mated with humans, so that the offspring born is a half-blood elf, which is called a half-elf.

Normally, half-elves will still inherit elves' beauty and various talents, but they will be slightly weakened in some ways, but they are still very sought-after.

Compared with spending heavy manpower and material resources, such a dangerous thing as climbing mountains and wading through rivers to capture elves in the frozen forest has to risk the annihilation of the entire army...... Then raising elves at home is the safest way.

Generally speaking, a pure-blooded elf, a slave trader would not choose to sell such goods directly - no amount of money!

A young male elf like Tata is a pure-blooded man. Once caught by human slave traders, humans will simply destroy him. Maybe they will directly break the tendons of their hands and feet, and then lock them up, just like locking up wild beasts.

And then...... He will continue to provide him with all kinds of human females to mate. Every day, he would be forcibly poured with various strong and irritating drugs.

The lifespan of an elf is very long, even as long as two or three hundred years. And the reproductive period of elves is also longer than that of humans.

An elf, which can be used as a breeding tool, can be used for decades, and can constantly "produce" expensive goods such as half-elves, which can be sold for a very high price.

Don't think that being a stallion is a happy and easy thing. The slave traders were very cruel to these elves, first of all, to make sure that the elves would not resist or run away. His limbs must be broken, and even some cruel slavers will blind the elves and pull out his teeth!

Then he was kept in a dark room and captivity in a cell for many years.

A variety of drugs are poured every day - most of which are aphrodisiac and irritating.

Because elves usually have a low reproductive capacity, they must mate as many times as possible to ensure that they produce a second generation of half-elves.

Generally speaking, elven slaves who become breeding tools will have a very miserable fate, many of them at the hands of slave traders. They have to survive in such a sad environment for twenty or thirty years before they die tragically.

This tower in front of you......

Young, handsome, and pure-blooded elves, and ...... The martial arts don't seem to be too powerful. The temperament is still a little reckless and simple.

This kind of guy, once he enters the human world, and there is no one to protect him, I am afraid that he has not yet reached the free port. was targeted by slave traders.

"If you dare to go to the Roland Empire, I'm afraid you won't even be able to go to the borders of the Empire. There are a lot of slave traders waiting to catch a stray lamb like you in a place like Freeport. Lan Lan shook her head and sighed.

"I'm sure my friend won't lie to you. The cold night groaned: "Go to the human world...... I think that place must be big, big, to go to that kind of place and find someone. Not a smart idea. ”

"But I have to go!" Tata gritted his teeth, "I have to go!"

"Why?"

Tata frowned, glanced at the cold night, and his tone was a little strange: "Do you need to ask? War is about to break out! The great Snow King has given the order for war, and we are about to go to war with humans! At such a time, how can I continue to watch my sister live in the human world! I must bring her back before the war breaks out! Once the war starts...... She's going to be killed by humans!"

Syllable!!

Lan Lan subconsciously took a step back, and a branch was broken under her feet.

Lan Lan looked at Tata in surprise: "You, what are you talking about?war, war?you mean war?!"

"You mean, war?" said the cold night's eyes.

"Of course. Tata frowned: "What's the matter with you? Elven Lord, didn't you get the king's order? Just a few days ago, all the tribes had received the news, the great, the most noble Lord Falling Snow had returned, he had regained the throne, he had won the support of all the tribes, and he had become the king of all the elves again! The king had conveyed the highest order, all the tribes were mobilized, and once the winter was over, war would break out! The Falling Snow King had sent someone to contact the orcs. I think...... With the prestige of the Snow King, the Tiger of the Orc King would never dare to refuse, so he ......"

"See,!"

Lan Lan's face turned white!

War?

Elven ...... Orc ......

This, is this another major invasion?

History repeats itself more than one hundred and forty years ago?!

The cold night was not as moved as Lan Lan, she was only slightly surprised, and then, the elf's eyes revealed a hint of strangeness.

War?

Another war?

And humans?

"When winter is over, will there be war?" said Cold Night, looking at Tata earnestly.

"I ...... I don't know the specifics, that's something that the tribal elders know, I only know that the war is not far away, and the fastest thing is the end of winter. But...... The clans are still mobilizing fighters and a lot of preparations are still being made, I think. Well, I guess...... Contacting the orcs and the dwarves will take some time. But war is coming, and you can't be wrong about that. ”

For some reason, Tata felt that he was a little afraid to look at the elf in front of him, as if he would have a deep awe in his heart when he looked at her, as if no matter what question the other party asked, he would involuntarily say it. I didn't dare to resist at all.

This...... This kind of temperament is more irresistible than ordinary elves.

The cold night bowed slightly.

The next moment, she walked in front of Lan Lan: "This is really unpleasant news, Lan Lan." ”

Lan Lan: "............"

"I think it's time for something to change here in our journey. Hanye sighed softly: "Maybe what you want to do most now is to immediately return to the human world to report the news, right?"

"You...... Will you stop me?" Lan Lan's tone was a little difficult, she knew very well the strength of the cold night, if the other party wanted to stop her, she didn't even have the ability to resist at all.

"......" Hanye seemed to smile: "You go." Either way, we're friends, and ...... I may not be very supportive of this war. ”

Lan Lan was stunned for a moment.

"Can you do me a favor?" said softly, "The plan has changed. Now I can't accompany you to the south side of the Frozen Forest...... I think I have more important things to do. We...... Maybe it's just here that we separate. ”

“...... Good. Lan Lan immediately nodded: "You, what do you need me to help you do?"

"His sister. Hanye smiled and said, "Since you know the human man who took his sister, I think you should know where he is, no matter what." Abducting an elf is an unacceptable sin for the elves. I want to please...... If you can, you can go find him. Take that elf ......"

"I'm afraid I can't. Lan Lan smiled bitterly: "That guy has become very powerful now, I am not his opponent." If you're hoping that I'll forcibly bring Tata's sister back, I'm afraid I don't have the ability to do so. In the human world, he is very powerful, and even our Pope has to be polite to him. ”

(Even if I wanted to, I'm afraid he wouldn't let me do it.) Lan Lan smiled bitterly in her heart.

She knew very well how much Darling Chan cherished that little elf.

"And...... I think that elf must really like that guy, and she probably won't want to come back. Lan Lan hesitated and finished the sentence.

"Is that so?"

After a moment's hesitation, she stepped aside, gently plucked a leaf, and looked at it in her hand.

It's a leaf that's only two fingers wide. Han Ye held the leaves, walked in front of Lan Lan, gently placed the leaves on her forehead and eyebrows, and then used his right index finger to lightly touch it.

With a bang, a golden light was imprinted into the leaves, and at the same time, it was also imprinted into the forehead and eyebrows of Lan Lan, and it was gone.

"This leaf, you carry it with you. Cold Night handed the leaves into Lan Lan's palm: "Besides, I have left the mark of my power in your body. Even farther away, as long as you carry this leaf, I can find you. Well...... Also, if you can find her, tell her what happened, and persuade her to come back, if she is willing to come back, it will be the best. If she doesn't, forget it. ”

After a pause, Han Ye's tone changed: "But, if the female elf is having a bad time, or if she wants to come back, but the human obstructs it, you ...... Tear this leaf open, and I'll get to your side as soon as possible, and I'll make it clear to that human that it's a serious sin to kidnap an elf!"

Lan Lan took the leaves a little sluggishly.

"Remember, the leaves you have to carry with you and not more than ten meters away from your body. There are marks of my power on the leaves and in your body, and together I can sense if you lose the leaves...... Well, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you. At the end of the night, he smiled and said, "Maybe this is also my last gift to you." If you encounter something particularly dangerous, you can also tear the leaves, I will sense it and will come and help you. But you remember, you can only ...... Use it once!"

Cold Night said to the end, staring at Lan Lan's eyes: "Can you do me a favor?"

Although deep down in my heart, I really didn't want to see Darling Chen again, but ...... Lan Lan still nodded.

"I promise you. Lan Lan's expression was very stern: "If it weren't for your help." I'm long dead. So...... I will fulfill this commission of yours even if I try my best. I swear!"

"I believe in you. Hanye smiled: "So...... Farewell, take care, my friend. ”

After the cold night finished speaking, Lan Lan immediately took two steps back, hesitated, slowly retreated, and then turned around and walked south with a firm step.

"Now ......" Han Ye stared at Lan Lan's back for a while, and seemed to be a little melancholy. She turned around and looked at Tata, "...... Now, take me to your tribe. ”

"You...... You, do you have any orders? Go, go to my tribe?"

"It's nothing, maybe I just want to walk around and see. Cold Night's tone sounded lighthearted: "After walking through it, maybe...... It's time for me to meet a guy. ”

......

............

On an iron platform made of pure iron in a square shape.

The black iron table case glows with a metallic luster, cold and hard.

A turquoise leaf. Lying quietly on the iron case, the green color is particularly eye-catching on the dark and cold iron case.

Syllable!

A giant palm slapped on it, turning the turquoise leaf into smashes!

A majestic and burly figure slowly stood up behind the iron case!

Under the long black cloak. It's pure white hair!

A giant tiger in the shape of a man stood here, and in the middle of his body, burst out with a suffocating aura!

It is a majestic body that is three meters tall. In the hall surrounded by braziers, it was particularly imposing, especially under the swaying flames. The shadow of its body can almost envelop half of the main hall in it!

The Bronze Tiger, the king of the orcs, sighed slowly, and it withdrew its huge palm.

It is not a white tiger, but because the years have taken away its youth, and the brown and yellow hair of the past has also been dyed white by the years.

The only thing that remains unchanged may be the majesty and murderous aura in those tiger eyes.

"Falling snow...... Hmph, does it think that orcs will always be fools who don't have the brains to use at will!"

The roar seemed to carry an endless gust of wind that echoed through the hall.

"Great King!"

Under the main hall, a bullman in iron armor stood up: "Orcs don't need to obey the orders of the elves! If you nod, I am willing to take 50,000 brave orc warriors to level that forest first! Burn all those elven tribes!"

"I know you've coveted that land for a long time. The bronze tiger's snort made a beast-like sound, and the bull warrior immediately showed a frightened expression and stepped back slightly.

"Over the years, the relationship with the elves has been strained enough. The palm of the copper tiger clenched into a fist: "Maybe...... It's time to work together again. The later kings of the elves are all bastards, but is this falling snow...... Or different. It's a smart guy and ......"

Tonghu seemed to think of something, and shook his head: "Pass my order." ”

As these words were spoken, the two rows of orc warriors standing under the main hall stepped forward one after another.

"Sue all the tribes...... When the winter passes, the snow stops, and the first spring rain arrives, it will be the time for us to go south!"

Airplanes!!

Shouts echoed through the hall, and the orcs drew their swords and struck them, screaming wildly.

All the orc leaders walked up to the bronze tiger one by one, bowed down to it, and then came out with their heads held high.

Until the last ...... The leader of the Ox Clan who just spoke and asked to take someone to burn the Elven Tribe.

"Stone! Copper Tiger said in a deep voice.

"Yes, my king, what do you command? The bull general named Stone knelt on one knee in the middle of the hall.

"The war will start after the winter is over, but that doesn't mean we can't do something about it first. There was a hint of cunning in the eyes of the bronze tiger—cruel cunning!

"I heard that a tribe in the south launched a sneak attack on the human northwest fortress before without authorization, and the result was a miserable loss?"

"Yes...... My king. Stone immediately nodded, "I've heard about it, too." Those fools don't know what rumors they are listening to. The Northwest Fortress has always been controlled by the Tulip family, but it's not easy to mess with. ”

When mentioning "tulips", the corners of Tonghu's eyes twitched fiercely.

However, the old orc king sneered: "Tulip family...... Hum. I asked you to do one thing, but I don't know if you dare. ”

"My king, your command, is my mission!" Stone looked up.

"You pick 20,000 elite warriors, go to the Northwest Fortress to launch an attack, use your greatest ability to attack once, I want to see the quality of the Northwest Fortress controlled by the Tulip Family, and see if they still retain a few things from their ancestors......! You don't have to wait for the winter to end, you can prepare now, and when you're ready, attack at any time! If you can take that fortress before the winter is over...... Stone, I will reward your tribe with a thousand miles of land. ”

Stone's eyes reddened. (To be continued......)
