In a small conference room rented out by The Langham, the wood elves whispered and worried, worried about the safety of their compatriots thousands of miles away.

Thanks to the benefits of the newspaper industry, the Wood Elves living in Asturias already knew that their homeland had been attacked by orcs.

It is said that the Sun reporter of St. Quentin risked his life to see as close as possible to the place where the war was approaching, and then traveled hundreds of kilometers back to the city of Liberty to fax the news to the newspaper magic.

Due to the high cost of magic faxes (the farther away they are), the news he sent back was very brief, but conclusively pointed to the orcs waging war against the Wood Elves.

Immediately afterwards, the Kingdom of Asturias also officially announced the news, and expressed its "shock", hoping that the orcs would not use the equipment sold to them by Asturias in this war, because the weapons sold by the kingdom to the orcs were used to help the Western Beasts resist the invasion of the orc royal court.

But of course it didn't work, because the war had already begun, and it was actually coming to an end.

The wood elves who came to the kingdom of Asturias with Ciri at the beginning, after all these years of life, have slowly become half Asturias, and more than half of them are matched by themselves, such as Alan and Rhea.

Others, like Ciri, are still celibate, married to Terran men, and like Susana, who have become mistresses.

But today, these people are once again coming together in response to the call of the former eldest sister, Shiri, for the sake of the suffering of their common hometown.

"Guys, you must have a clear idea of what's going on. Xi Rui stood up sternly. Waving his arms. "Although we now live in Asturias. But our homeland is being invaded, our people are being attacked, and we must play some part of our part to help them, and we cannot sit idly by. ”

"But what can we do, shall we go back to the war?" Rheital stood up hesitantly, she and Eren were the most typical couple among the self-married wood elves. At the beginning, he also made films, but now it has turned to the background, the two bought a house in Saint-Quentin, and Rhea gave birth to a child, whose body shape has not fully recovered until now.

The others had the same question, a few with excitement in their eyes, and many more hesitated at the mention of this, most of whom had already purchased property in Asturias like Rhea and Alan, and were gradually accustomed to the Terran world, though not as despisable as Madame Lark was to the life of his former compatriots. But it is also very hesitant for them to go back to the way they used to be.

"Ciri. You're not going to let us go back to war, are you?" called Susana, "I just escaped from that place, and you think we'll be able to help them by going?"

"But there are our sisters and brothers!" the Wood Elf retorted to Susanna.

"Don't be noisy. Ciri stopped their argument, "I'm not asking everyone to pick up arms and go back to fight, I just hope that everyone will not sit idly by and stand up and play a role." ”

"So what should we do?" the Wood Elves spouted.

"Use our influence to get Asturias to intervene and stop the orc atrocities. Ciri said, "With the strength of our men, we can't stop the orcs at all. But we are now Asturians, have you forgotten what you are doing now, we have a little bit of influence, please make use of it as much as possible, if you can arouse the sympathy of the Asturians for us, you may be able to help our homeland. ”

Ciri's words made the Wood Elves active, they remembered their own industry, although the Wood Elves also went to other professions, but most of them are now closely related to acting, Shadow Animation, and in the last two years, some people have become popular singers, such as Ciri himself.

Susana quietly shrank back, she was the only one here who knew best, expecting the Asturians to save the Wood Elves?

Forced to become Madame Lark, she knows best that this war against the Wood Elves is clearly in the hands of the Asturians.

But she could never have said it, because it was she who served the black hand as an eyeliner, and if it had been known, she would have been the first to die-

The result of this deliberation among the Wood Elves, who had become citizens of Asturias, did not lead to any organized action, but only a consensus, each using his position, to call on Asturias to stop the atrocities of the orcs as much as possible.

The latter actions did play a role.

Some reached out to reporters they were familiar with, while others took advantage of some public appearances to mention the calamity that the Wood Elves were suffering and called for Terran intervention.

For example, like Ciri, she suddenly held a special concert and publicly asked her fans to help her people. And her fans did act, with some commenting in the newspapers and others trying to hold a small march, but the police in Saint-Quentin stopped it.

Ciri even approached Lizzie and asked to see Solomon, who is now the prime minister, but she did not see the real black hand, and was told that the kingdom was facing off against the Modo army on the border, and the prime minister had left the royal capital.

But this qiē seems to have really played a role, for example, an organization with a program of freedom and fraternity took the initiative to find the Wood Elves, willing to help them appeal, asking the kingdom to come forward to help the Wood Elves.

The grateful Wood Elves immediately authorized the organization to use their name, unaware that the provider of funds behind the organization was the Rose Bank.

Since the establishment of the Legislature, Rose Bank has been funding various organizations or individuals with a platform of "freedom", supporting those with potential to run for county councillors and congressmen, and making a bigger voice for "freedom".

Of course, this time the Rose Bank intervened, not just for "freedom", these two words also have a chance to find other people, not to use the wood elves this time.

The bigger reason for Rose Bank is to take this opportunity to gain a legitimate opportunity to gain benefits from the division of the Green Forest Domain in the future.

Solomon plotted the plans of the Wood Elves this time. Although the declaration of war was bypassed in Congress. But sell a large number of weapons to the orcs. and secretly supporting the orc operation, inevitably still going through some members of the parliament, and some of them are sponsored by the Rose Bank to run for power.

Once the Orcs defeat the Wood Elves, Asturias will appear as a mediator and pay the Orcs to buy the former Forest or Forest Resources of the Wood Elves, as well as the captured Wood Elves, under the pretext of saving the Wood Elves.

In this way, the land or resources that the wood elves had lived on for generations became Asturias, and the orcs were exchanged for wealth and equipment.

Of course, the Rose Bank wanted to participate in such a "rescue" operation, and the vampires had been running the bank for many years. With the exception of Asturias, which was somewhat reined in by Solomon's rule, it developed more rapidly elsewhere, but not as before, but on the Rosary Bank.

Wealth has become their new talisman, money has no practical meaning to vampires, but if it can help them survive better, help them make better use of the rules of the human race, then they will have a goal and motivation to accumulate more wealth.

The ideals and slogans of the new era of blood have quietly changed, and they no longer advocate seclusion in the countryside and people. Rather, it is to strive for the eventual establishment of a free and democratic society of co-prosperity.

Someday, when freedom comes. Vampires can be made public, and they are free to buy blood with money, and blood will become a commodity.

The above qiē, the front and the side, seem to turn Xi Rui's expectations into reality.

The Asturian Cabinet issued two statements, one condemning Modo for erecting barriers to trade and conniving at attacks on Asturian merchants, claiming that Modo would pay the price.

The other is to express shock at the ongoing war between orcs and wood elves in the northwest, and is willing to come out to mediate and help the wood elves as much as possible.

On the third day after this statement was issued, the orcs couldn't wait to respond, claiming that the war was great, that the orcs had achieved a phased victory, that the wood elves were in a rout and were about to surrender, and that a large number of wood elf captives had been captured as the war progressed.

The orcs further responded to Asturias, saying that if the Terrans intended to aid the Wood Elves, they would have to pay real money to buy captives, and the Orcs could also sell all the forest and resources on it to Asturias, otherwise they would continue the war to the end until they killed every Wood Elf to punish them for their provocations and attacks on the Orcs.

Except for Ciri, no one has studied how the Wood Elves provoked and attacked the Orcs in the first place.

Asturias sent a negotiating group, and the merchants squeezed their heads into it, all wanting to take a seat in it, because the negotiating group was going to negotiate with the orcs how to buy the assets of the Wood Elves, and each Wood Elf captive would mean a right to exploit the forest or resources.

Fifteen days later, the war in the Green Forest was over, and the orcs threatened to completely set fire to the Miè Forest, so that most of the wood elves who had lost their fighting spirit came out of the forest and surrendered, they were not afraid of dying in battle, but they were afraid of the destruction of the forest.

The sunwell is no longer there, and if the forest is destroyed, the wood elves will not know how to survive, counting on surrender in exchange for the mercy of the invaders.

Eventually, based on the number of surrenderers and a rough estimate of the size of the forest, the invaders converted the forest into the assets of each Wood Elf, and then sold it to the Asturian negotiators.

Although the orcs have tried their best to calculate the price of the sale, it is only slightly higher than the price of cabbage for the negotiation team, and the green forest domain is like a treasure waiting to be opened.

As a result, Asturias announced that in order to stop the war and prevent a humanitarian catastrophe, the kingdom had decided to finance the purchase of Wood Elf captives and forests from the orcs.

After "saving" the Wood Elves, Congress agreed that the rescued Wood Elves would be released and allowed to live in Asturias.

However, they could not live together, and the kingdom had to allocate a place where they were allowed to live, and force the Wood Elves to join the factory work, a decision that was hailed by the workshop owners, as the wages of the Wood Elves would be a fraction of that of the average worker.

Solomon still remembers her promise to Tiffany, and Her Majesty has been paying attention, but she only cares about the surface of the life of the Wood Elves, and does not clearly understand what the cost of the Wood Elves will pay to adapt to the new environment and new life after losing their home.

In order to ensure the safety and basic rights of the wood elves, the National Assembly passed the Civil Status Registration Act, the most important part of which was the registration system for marriages, and took this opportunity to start implementing it. It is required that the marriage of each citizen must be registered in the kingdom, which will serve as a valid proof in the future when the wealth and inheritance of the family or individual are redistributed.

Since the kingdom has paid a huge price to save the wood elves, then those attached forests will naturally belong to the kingdom, and the kingdom will distribute the development and utilization of these forests.

Those merchants who participate in the "rescue" operation with the kingdom's negotiating team will have priority, because the "cost" of saving the wood elves from the orcs this time is too high for the kingdom to directly afford, and the orcs only accept cash, so the negotiating team will have to join the "civil" merchants.

All in all, it's a happy situation.

Ciri's wish came true, and the tribesmen were finally saved, the orcs were happy, and although the beginning of the war was a little unpleasant, and Zachar and Reimers were wounded, the orcs made a fortune in the end, and Asturias was even more agitated, and the people praised the kingdom's actions this time, calling it a righteous act, stopping the war, and saving the wood elves.

As for the freed Wood Elves, they were at a loss, yes, they should be grateful to the Asturians for saving them and allowing them to become commoners of the kingdom, but what about their forests, why did the forests become Asturias' like this?

No one could answer the Wood Elves' questions, only the Wood Elves, who had since become a minority in Asturias, thought about it in hindsight, but they could only blame the orcs for their sins.

So much so that many years later, when the Asturian Congress debated whether to admit multiple orc tribes into the kingdom, the only two Wood Elf councilors stopped them in tears, and they could not forget the disaster, which caused the Wood Elves to lose a Qiē and began a miserable life in the Terran country.

Of course, there are a few smart people who are skeptical, such as many years later, the granddaughter of Rhea and Allen became confused about this history and tried to find the truth by all means.

She tried her best to find clues and tracked down Susana, who was already her grandmother, but she almost got killed and was executed by the secret guards of the kingdom's Ministry of Security, but fortunately, at the last moment, a big man remembered her grandparents' names and ordered her to be spared.

Of course, that's another story.

This is how a page has been turned in history. (To be continued......)
