Chapter 395: Elven Capital
The elves have had many wars with humans in history, and the rapid expansion of humans and the continuous erosion of the territory of other races are the main reasons for the wars. Although the combat power of the elves far exceeds that of ordinary humans, humans have a numerical advantage, and as time goes on, humans consume the elves little by little, and finally take a large part of the elven territory as their own.
Because of this history, the elves have always had a good impression of humans, and the elves have a long lifespan, and many things are still fresh in their memories, but humans may have long forgotten about them. In the last few hundred years, humans and elves have occasionally had some minor frictions, but they have generally been relatively peaceful.
This time, Lin Kaiguo suddenly set up troops at the border, which immediately caused a strong reaction from the elves, and the alliance council of the elves held an emergency meeting at the first time. There are many tribes within the elves, the largest of which has a total of eight tribes, and the leaders of these eight tribes together form the alliance council, which has the right to decide the affairs of the elves, and naturally has the power to mobilize for war.
Elves are not a race-loving race, so they are extremely nervous and vigilant about war, and Lin Kaiguo's army has already made the entire Elven Council a little unable to sit still. Some people believe that the elves have immediately mobilized their troops and are ready to go to war with Lin Kaiguo's army at any time, but others think that they do not understand the other party's purpose at this time, and it seems too timid to rush to mobilize the army.
Despite the daily debates in the council, no one thought of negotiating peace with humans, in the eyes of the elves, the contracts of humans are unreliable, this king signed a treaty, maybe it won't count after his death, just a few decades may not be short for humans, but in the eyes of the elves is only a short moment, so the elves will never consider signing a peace treaty with humans.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed, and Lin Kaiguo's army has not made any movement, and it is still standing still on the border. However, this only made the elves more nervous, and the longer it dragged on, the more people felt that there might be a huge conspiracy behind it. The council is still inconclusive, but the necessary vigilance still needs to be done, and there are already many elves on the border between humans and elves who are responsible for monitoring the human army.
The capital of the elves, Emitras, is a city perched on a cliff. Waterfalls, flowing springs, and thousand-year-old trees that grow firmly on the cliffs are the characteristics of this city. Dozens of waterfalls hang from the cliffs, like white satin stretching down from the cliffs, casting a layer of mystery over this strange city.
There are countless boardwalks and grottoes on the cliffs, which are connected to each other to form a complex and three-dimensional structure, which can be called a labyrinth built on the cliff. Whenever night comes, after countless lights are lit, the whole of Emitteras will show a dreamlike side, and countless stars seem to be inlaid on the continuous cliffs for more than ten miles, and it looks like a galaxy falling on the earth from a distance.
No human has ever visited this city for a thousand years, and the elves regard it as the highest forbidden area, not allowing any human to enter, and its location is extremely secretive, so few people can see its true face.
The only foreign tribes who can often come and go in and out of Emitras are probably the dwarves, because the dwarves produce a lot of tools, and the dwarves have rich minerals, so the elves often need to trade with the dwarves, and some dwarves can enter and leave the city after obtaining the consent of the elves.
On this day, a huge bird flew over Hermetras, because its unusually large size immediately frightened the nearby birds into fleeing, and the sound of countless birds flapping their wings at the same time surprised the elves in the city.
What surprised them even more was that there were two people riding on the back of the big bird, one tall and one short, and anyone who saw such a scene would be amazed, not to mention the elves who had not been in contact with the outside world for many years.
"What's that?"
"Could it be that the birds are here, and the war has already begun?"
There was a small commotion in the city of Hermetras, and word spread quickly, and many elves looked at the strange bird and the passengers on its back from all directions.
"I ...... I say...... Let's go down...... It's scary...... "said the short man on the bird's back.
"Don't worry, even if this bird falls, I won't let you fall. The tall man said lightly: "Let's fly a little longer and let them notice us." ”
"You're naturally not afraid, you can fly, I can't......! Get me down...... I'm about to pee. The short man said in an almost pleading voice.
"Vos, can you grow a little, but you're also a master of the dwarf race. The tall man said.
"The master refers to the skill, and it has nothing to do with whether you are afraid of being high or not!"
"Okay, okay, let's go down now, so you don't have to quarrel endlessly. ”
Soon the big bird carried the two of them to a protruding place on the cliff, and when the two of them came down from the bird's back, a large number of elven warriors immediately appeared around, and they surrounded the two of them with bows and arrows one by one.
"Who are you, how dare you trespass into the Elven Capital!" asked one of the elves leading the group.
The combination of two people, one young and handsome, and the other a red-haired dwarf, looks rather strange. The tall human stabbed the dwarf with his hand and motioned for him to speak, and the dwarf said helplessly, "I...... I am the Master of Voss of the Dwarves, and this is my friend Savien, Sawin Bennet. ”
The elves exchanged opinions with each other, and did not seem to know about the two men, so one of the elves immediately turned and ran, busily reporting to his superiors. The elf who led the team didn't know where these two people came from, so they didn't dare to relax their vigilance, and still maintained a tense posture.
The two are Savin and Voss, this time Savin came to the Elven Capital alone, intending to negotiate with the Elven Council, and Vos was a stepping stone forcibly pulled by Savin. Savan knew that the elves had a deep prejudice against humans, and with the presence of Vos, the dwarven master, the elves had to give some face so that they would not be directly rejected from the door.
The reason why he came by the bird was to take care of Vos, and secondly, because Savin's childlike heart suddenly rose, and he had to sit on the recently trained Thor Bird. However, Sawan didn't know how much shock and panic he and Voss had caused to the elves by the sudden fall from the sky. The Elven Capital has long been regarded as a forbidden and safest place, and no one has ever been able to get past the layers of defenses to reach it.
However, no matter how tightly defended the elves along the way, they could not block the way in the air, and the arrival of Savin and Wirth suddenly made the tight defense that the elves were proud of become a void, and this elven capital was no longer the safest place.
"What is your purpose, what are you doing in Emitras?" the elf who led the group asked again.
"We ...... Be...... It's to visit the Elven Council...... Something important...... Discuss. Voss stammered back.
The elves who led the team obviously didn't believe the two of them, how could a human and a dwarf come directly to see the council, this kind of thing is simply unheard of, and the probability that these two people are spies is relatively high. While the two were talking, Sawan glanced around with a pair of eyes that looked quite suspicious, an action that immediately caught the attention of the elves.
"That human, what are you looking around, I think you're a spy!" shouted the elf who led the group, "Come on, tie them up!"
"Hey, I said, why are you so rude all of a sudden?" said Samin, feigning panic.
"I'm the master of the dwarves! you can't do this to me!" I want to ......" Voss shouted angrily, and before he could finish his sentence, his mouth was gagged.
Savin didn't put up any resistance, and honestly let the elves tie up, because of his cooperation, the elves didn't gag his mouth. Just as the elves were pushing and shoving the two to take them to their cells, the elves who had gone to report the news arrived in a hurry.
"Don't worry! The council ordered that the two spies be taken to the council, and the councillors were to be questioned in person. The elf who reported the news hurriedly said.
