What is the land called the Forest of Silence, the home of the Noldor elves? Everyone, all the soldiers who participated in this expedition, have the same expectations and fantasies: what kind of shijie does a race completely different from human civilization live in? I am afraid that their hearts are touched at this moment no less than the shock that Theodore was when he found out that he had crossed over.

In a sense, this is completely equivalent to traveling to another shijie.

The boundless forest forms the walls of this mysterious country, the tall trees run through the heaven and the earth, in many places are extremely rare, the height of more than 50 meters of the sky ancient trees are lined up, each of which is probably two people to hug, from a distance it seems to be an emerald ocean, the liliang of nature has been fully displayed here, and the primitive divine power makes everyone amazed!

This boundless sea of forests appeared in front of the warriors, and the most magnificent green castle stood in the west of this land, which was indescribably magnificent - it was this great natural liliang that made the Noldor elves worship the natural liliang. In front of the Forest of Silence, any artificial liliang is insignificant!

A wide avenue was split from the soldiers' sight, and the neat and neat stone paved avenue was forty zhang wide! Like a sharp blade falling from the sky, the sea of forests was divided in two in the middle, and the tall towering trees stood on both sides like guards, and the straight road extended to the end of the line of sight, disappearing into the sea of forests.

The military formation, which was marching like a long dragon, slowly drove into this ancient Shijie, the reservation of the ancient mysterious Liliangzuihou, which had been completely displayed in front of their eyes.

"That's a ...... God forbid! I've never seen such a magnificent scenery in my life!"

Marcus carried the team flag, walked in front of his team, kept looking around with his eyes suppressed, and held the hilt of the sword at his waist vigilantly: "This is definitely a masterpiece of the gods, otherwise who else can have such a terrible liliang? Who can create such a miracle?"

"The Noldor elves believe that all trees are their gods, a kind of ...... It's a very unique way of believing. A stiff and stern voice came from behind, and gasped softly: "But it is undeniable that these forests are indeed extremely fortified, enough to discourage most troops. ”

"Captain Constantine?!" As soon as Marcus turned around, the straight figure was standing behind him, and he hurriedly bowed his head and saluted: "Sir!"

"Obviously...... Their gods are also very powerful, and although this did not help them win on the battlefield, it is still undeniable. Ustan nodded, looking at the tall trees around him: "Obviously, this is a civilization as great as Rome, with a long history and a thriving culture. ”

"Where did you see that?" asked Marcus curiously.

"Look at the path under your feet, do you need to say anything?" Ustan pointed to his feet, his voice low: "It alone is enough to prove a lot. ”

"Yes, you're right. Marcus nodded, no more asking. Such a straight and wide road could not have been built unless it was an extremely developed civilization - this road alone is enough to be called a miracle!

"The road we are taking now is called the 'Oak Avenue', and the Noldor ancestors built this road to bring oak seeds from Anduria and take them to the East. At the head of the procession, Lorens rode on his horse and explained to the three young commanders with a leisurely expression: "There are twelve such roads in the Silent Forest, which run through all the settlements of the Silent Forest. There were of course some roads in other places, but most of them were small roads, and they could not supply such a large army. ”

"Truly amazing engineering. Aaron sighed and said, "I didn't expect that the Noldor Elves also have such superb construction skills. ”

"Just because we love nature doesn't mean we don't know how to build. Lawrence didn't seem to be as sensitive as the other Noldor elves, smiling softly as he chatted with a few people, "It's the result of different cultures, of course, don't say that when you get to Anduria." ”

"I understand, I have to mention, the way you speak is so relaxing. Aaron looked at Lorens curiously: "Is this talented, or are you brilliant?"

"Thank you for your compliment, and Lorens of the Lagrange House is deeply honored. Lorens tilted his head, tapped his forehead with the index finger of his left hand and gracefully drew a semicircle: "If this is the case, it means that Venerable Van La did not choose the wrong person, and it is so pleasant to be able to talk to you so easily." ”

"So, the only way for the orcs to attack is to follow the road?" Theodore asked suddenly, "It seems that there is no other possibility. ”

“............ That is true. The corners of Lawrence's eyes twitched, but then he returned to his original state, and said with a smile: "The Iron Avenue, the most important road in the southern part of the Silent Forest, the orcs can only enter the Silent Forest if they go north along there. ”

"The Forest of Silence has no good minerals, and the bows, knives, and light scale armor of the warriors and rangers all depend on steel have to be shipped from Singar in exchange for spices. So this road leads straight to Anduria -- just like the road under our feet!"

"Now that the Noldor warriors in the south are struggling to stop the enemy's attack, we don't have much time left. Although Lawrence was still elegant and spoke softly, he still made people feel a sense of urgency: "Therefore, if you have any inappropriate hospitality while you are here, please forgive me!"

Of course, that's understandable. Salald nodded: "We came here to fight the orcs, and everything else can be put aside first." ”

"Ahead is the Anda settlement, where the inhabitants will entertain you and your warriors for the rest tonight, and there will be enough food. Lawrence smiled lightly, "We'll rest here tonight, and tomorrow we'll leave for Anduria!"

"It's still safe here, so rest assured that our fellow Chubb people will be hospitable to our friends and hopefully ...... The dishes in the Forest of Silence are to suit your tastes!"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Although they saw too many surprising things during the day, the warriors maintained a very calm attitude, and built a camp next to the Anda settlement and raised the stove.

Considering the attitude of the Noldor elves towards the trees, and the fragile alliance between the two sides, Theodore ordered for the first time to reduce the amount of work in the camp, simply leveling the land and digging two improvised sewers, and eliminating the original wooden walls and watchtowers.

And this was the first time Theodore had seen what the elven city was like - it was an enlarged village, not even a slightly taller building!

The inhabitants of Anda brought out a staggering amount of bread, vegetables, fruits, and meat from the storehouse to entertain the warriors who had come from afar. Of course, the Coalition soldiers, who had long been tired of eating military rations, would not refuse such hospitality, and almost everyone was given a piece of white bread, a bowl of thick broth, a plate of vegetable chowder, and half an apple, which was probably the most delicious meal they had in a long time.

Sarard, who was still very unconvinced, has finally accepted the fact that the Noldor elves are more civilized than humans - very simply, if they provide the same amount of food for their army, it will not be long before they are poor!

Even the Roman legions could only get a worse supply of food when they were stationed, because of their proximity to the city, and when they were away on an expedition, they could only try to satisfy themselves, and the non-staple food could only be seen if the farmsteads passing by could provide some sour wine and cheese.

Since ancient times, all civilizations have been based on the primary industry, which is also the most important guarantee for the development of civilization, and it is also the most direct evidence to measure whether an ancient dynasty is prosperous and wealthy.

Why does the Eastern civilization boast of surpassing the West? It is because of the absolute superiority of the primary industry, and when it has not had enough to eat, it should not talk about any development, and only when it has eaten enough will it be in the mood to engage in culture and develop science and technology.

"It's ...... Black tea?!"

At the dining table, Theodore looked at the crimson hot tea in the cup, and exclaimed, "This is actually black tea?"

"The Noldos don't have a habit of drinking, so tea is our best drink. Lawrence smiled indifferently and said: "The black tea concocted from this fermented tea is one of the finest products!"

"It seems like it's been a lot of fashion lately for Anduria to add a little honey or something, but in my opinion, plain black tea is the best. Lawrence swallowed, "Have you ever drunk black tea anywhere else?"

"Of course............" Theodore gently put the cup in front of his eyes, looking at the hot tea with a nostalgic gaze, with a faint bubble: "I will never forget its taste............"
