The Treant slowly bent down, and it took him several minutes to complete the action, and Savin and Narros were so anxious that she wanted to go up and bend the Treant herself. But Exsewin did not show any impatience, and stood still waiting for the treeman, and at last the treeman spoke, his voice hoarse as if a dead branch had broken, and he spoke at an unusually slow pace.

"@¥%......$#@#" The Treant uttered slowly and calmly.

Savin's brows furrowed, and he said in his heart: "What the hell is this talking about, I don't understand it at all......"

Sawin turned to look at Naros, only to see that she was also confused, and apparently she didn't know what the tree man was talking about. However, Exevin could understand, and she waited quietly for the Treant to finish before she began to speak, but she also spoke in a language she didn't understand at all, but her voice was many times better than that of the Treant.

Savin and Narros listened to the conversation between Exewin and the Tree Man, and they were anxious and angry, the anxious thing was that the Tree Man was so slow that it was unbearable that if it had been Savin's fiery temper, he would have turned away long ago, and the angry thing was that the two of them couldn't understand a word, and they didn't understand what they were talking about.

Knowing that it would be a waste of time to continue peeking, Sawan gestured to Narros, and the two quietly left.

The two of them found a place to sit on the way back to the camp, and when Savin returned, he had already calculated that he would intercept Exewin and ask her what she was secretly talking to the Treants. Sawin found that he could not understand the elf more and more, her style was mysterious enough, and many things about herself were kept in the dark, much to the displeasure of the always proud Savin.

To be a human being is to be frank and open, this is what his teacher Osiiris told him, and his own personality is like this, but since coming to the land, Sawan feels that the human world is really complicated, unlike their dragons, many things are laid out in the open, and humans don't seem to like this.

While Sawan was deep in thought, Narros suddenly jumped down from the treetops and whispered to Sahain, "Here you are." ”

Sawan pulled himself back from his musings, then stood up and stood with Narros in the middle of the road, his hands clasped to his chest, as if he were asking for guilt. After a while, a figure flashed on the path in the woods, walking all the way in the direction of Savin, it was Exewin who they were waiting for.

Exewin was hurrying, and suddenly looked up and saw two people blocking the road, one tall and one short, one strong and one petite, which startled Axevin, who was thinking about things, and she fixed her eyes to see that it was Savin and Naros.

"What are you doing here?" asked Exewin, curiously.

"Waiting for you. Sawan said coldly.

"Wait for me, what are you waiting for?" asked Exewin, puzzled.

"Hmph...... What do you say?" Savan pretended to snort, raised his chest and nostrils and said, "What are you doing at night?"

"I'm ......" Axeven's eyes rolled and she immediately guessed that Sawin must have seen her conversation with the tree man, she hesitated for a moment, then sighed, "Since you've seen everything, let's just say it." ”

"Well, what do you mean by your secret meeting with the Treants?" Sawan said, raising his voice.

"Shh......h You keep quiet. Exewin frowned slightly and said, "I'll tell you what's going on, let's find a place to sit down." ”

The three of them left the path to find a secluded place, and Exewin looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, and then said, "Do you remember that mercenary said that he saw the Treant during the day? ”

Sawin nodded, "I saw it all, what did you talk to the treemen?"

Exewin seemed a little tired and said, "I want to persuade them not to get involved in our war with the elven tribes. ”

Seeing Exewin's appearance, Savan guessed that the outcome might not be ideal, so he asked, "What's the matter?"

Exewin replied: "No, they agreed, but we had to agree to one condition. ”

"What conditions?" asked Savan.

Exewin sighed, "The tree people have asked us not to make fires, they are afraid of a forest fire. ”

Sawan almost jumped up when he heard this, and cried out in a lost voice: "What!

Exewin said helplessly: "I also know that this condition is excessive, but in order to successfully enter the army, I can only agree to their request." ”

Sawin only felt that his head was big for a while, if he couldn't use fire in this deep mountain and old forest, it would make it extremely difficult to march, maybe it would be fine during the day, but what to do at night, there would be no lighting without fire, and he couldn't cook and keep warm, which might not have much impact on Sawen, but others might not be able to stand it at all.

"Haven't you thought about this because this will seriously affect the morale and state of the whole army?" asked Savan dissatisfied.

"Of course I've thought about it," said Exewin, "although morale and marching will be seriously affected, on the other hand, there are benefits, one is that we will not be able to reveal our whereabouts, and second, because of the difficult conditions, we may speed up our pace in order to end this war as soon as possible." ”

Savin listened to Exewin's words and there was some truth in it, he had never thought about it in this way, but he was still not very reassured. "What if I collapse before I can start my fight?" asked Savin.

Exewin stood up from the ground and said very firmly: "There will be brave men under the heavy reward, as long as the reward is increased, it will probably be able to hold out until the end of the war!"

After daybreak, Exewin summoned a few of the leaders for a small meeting to tell them the results of his discussion with the Treants, and as Swain had expected, the two knight leaders, Will and Prince, immediately blew up, waving their fists and scolding the Treants, shouting that they would be cut into firewood.

Through a period of time together, Sawin also discovered some ways, but the more the two of them screamed, the more likely they were to compromise, and if they only made one conclusion without arguing fiercely, they were likely to stick to the end. This was the case at this time, and after some persuasion by Exewin, the quarrel between the two slowly subsided, and then a lot of conditions were proposed, such as the distribution of the spoils after the victory, etc.

The three mercenary leaders didn't say anything, sleeping in the open is commonplace for mercenaries, although not using fire will make the conditions worse, but it can still be overcome after only a few days, not to mention that several mercenary leaders also want to take this opportunity to show the appearance of these knights, and when these knights complain, they can laugh at it.

After some deliberation, it was generally agreed that the use of fire should be suspended for the time being during the march, and after the meeting was adjourned, each of them went to announce the results of the meeting to his own men, and needless to say, there was another fierce opposition, but the voices of discontent were temporarily silenced by the severe bullets of the leaders, but it is difficult to say what would happen in the future.

Sawin felt that the meeting went a little smoothly and unexpectedly, so he pulled Exewin to a place where no one was there and asked, "Why did they agree so smoothly, did you talk to them privately beforehand?"

Exewin smiled mysteriously and said, "Needless to say, it's not that you don't know how difficult these people are, how can the meeting go so smoothly if you don't talk to them privately first." ”

Sawan sighed, "You're cunning, you don't look like an elf at all. ”

Exewin crossed his waist with one hand and said with a look of what you can do: "Silly boy, learn more, this is politics." ”

Samin rolled his eyes, looking deaf.

The inability to use fire did make the march very difficult, the lack of light and the inability to eat hot food filled the whole army with complaints, and at first the leaders were able to forcibly suppress their speech, but after a few days even the leaders themselves could not stand it, and almost every day people came to discuss with Exewin if the rules could be relaxed appropriately.

Exewin firmly refused, it was too late to regret it now, not only would he offend the tree man, but also his prestige would be ruined, this kind of stupid thing Axevin would never agree to.

On the seventh day after entering the mountains, the expeditionary army finally came to the bottom of a towering peak, the top of which was obscured by ethereal clouds, making it difficult to see its true face. Exewin pointed to the mountain and exclaimed, "We have arrived, and the target is here, under the mountain!"

It was the first time for Sawan to see such a high mountain, especially when he saw that the peak was covered with snow, he was so surprised that he was speechless, this is the real mountain, and it is moving and amazing! Seeing Savan's face of surprise, Exewin smiled and asked, "How is it, isn't this place very good?"

Sawin tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying, "The mountains are indeed good, but they are still not as good as my hometown. ”

"Isn't your hometown an island, with such high peaks?" said Exsevan, teasingly.

Sawin thought to himself, "If you knew how big the peaks under the sea were, it would scare you to death." ”

Eczewyn stopped chatting with Savan and ordered the whole army to set up camp here and prepare for the war that was about to begin. This time Celia put forward her opinion again: "My lord, isn't it good to camp here, this place is not conducive to defense, and it is still so far from the destination, I don't think it is a good choice to camp here." ”

In fact, Savan had noticed just now that there was obviously a distance of more than ten miles from here to the bottom of the mountain, and if the enemy's lair was at the foot of the mountain, it was indeed too early to set up camp here.

However, Savin also noticed that Exewin had chosen to camp here, there were almost no tall trees, gravel everywhere, and beyond that, there was a dense forest, and the camp was obviously set up here to avoid a chance for the elves to sneak attack, and if the camp was in the forest, I am afraid they would not want to have time to sleep.
