The weary expeditionary army walked slowly along the path in the dense forest under the guidance of the elves, and everyone walked silently, while looking curiously around, the trees in this area looked very old, the old trunks were already crawling with green moss, and the thick vines were entwined in between, like the legendary ancient monsters.

Unknown wildflowers dotted the meadows, emitting a faint scent, and a few wild deer occasionally ran through the woods, stopping from time to time to look curiously at the strangers.

The quiet and deep forest is like a natural placebo, giving some comfort to these people who have just experienced the pain of war. Savin's face was gloomy all the way, and he didn't say a word even when Narros and Seria talked to him, so that everyone didn't dare to come near for fear of offending him.

After this battle, everyone was both respectful and a little afraid of Savan, and the strength shown by Savin throughout the battle made everyone feel impressed, if it weren't for Sawen, I'm afraid there would be more people who sacrificed than that.

However, Sawen's terrifying strength also made everyone a little frightened, if he accidentally offended him, I was afraid that he would be kneaded into dough, I had only heard of Sawin's prestige before, but this time everyone saw it, and it was really a strong man in the arena, and the title of knight awarded to him by the king was really not blown out.

I don't know how long I walked, but the sky was getting darker, and the whole dense forest seemed to have become another world. Suddenly, someone in front of me shouted, "Here it is, here it is!"

As the team climbed a hillside, they saw a bright and cheerful front, and a vast flat meadow appeared in front of everyone. At the end of the meadow is a towering cliff with a straight angle like a knife, and there is a castle just below the cliff, which is difficult to see in the dark, but the scale of the castle can be judged by the sporadic lights.

"It's an oak wall, it looks like it's growing on a cliff. Someone said.

"I've heard that elves like to build their cities on cliffs, probably because they like to jump up and down. ”

"Hee-hee, isn't that going to be a monkey......

"Be careful to be heard by the elves, their pointed ears are very sensitive, haha......"

Perhaps seeing a place to rest, the mood of the crowd began to lighten, and they made jokes to each other as they walked towards the oak barrier. When they came to the castle, they found that the castle was all made of wood, and the thick logs erected one by one formed a tall wall, and the wall protruded countless sharpened logs to prevent the enemy from attacking the wall.

The gate of the castle is also made of huge logs, and the heavy gate requires a dozen people to push the winch at the head of the castle to open, and as the huge wooden door slowly opens, everyone finally sees the inside of the castle.

There were no streets or business establishments in the walled castle, but only wooden buildings built along the hillside, most of which were three-story structures, and it was clear that this was supposed to be the daily residence of the elves.

The entire castle had been occupied by the old army of Exevan, and the old and young women and children in the city had been taken care of in one place, and although Solan Ido's men had returned to the castle with them, the hostages were still in the hands of the other party, because they did not dare to act rashly.

Exewin imprisoned Solan Ido in solitary confinement, while the rest of the rest were gathered together and not allowed to return home at will, and it was only then that the elves finally felt that they were defeated. The people of the conquest army did not have so many scruples, and as soon as they entered the city, they spread their joy, and when they saw the empty house, they entered the house, and they could see the sheep everywhere, and they talked and laughed without scruples while rummaging through the cabinets with impunity, which caused the elves to frown one by one.

After a night's rest, the leaders of the expeditionary army met with Exewin the next morning, intending to talk to her about the distribution of the spoils. Exewin met with the crowd in a large wooden room, which was probably the size of the elven tribe for meetings or important events.

However, the furnishings in the house were very simple, there were almost nothing of value, and after a night of tossing, these people also found that this elven tribe did not seem to have much valuable things, and they all suspected that the good things had been hidden in advance by the old department of Exewin.

Savin didn't care about the loot or anything, he just wanted to figure out what was going on with this war, and he didn't feel comfortable without knowing that.

"Lord Exevan, we want to talk about the spoils of war......" Di Maru spoke first, but he was only halfway through his words when Savin suddenly stood up and said in a loud voice, "Let's talk about the war first?"

Exewin looked at Savin in surprise, he had rarely spoken at meetings today, and he had taken the initiative to speak today, and he was angry, as if he had offended him in some way. Exewin thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll tell you about this war first." Seeing that Savin was so urgent about the issue, everyone nodded their heads and agreed to let Axevin speak first.

Exewin said: "I want to apologize to everyone for this matter first, I didn't tell you in advance for the sake of secrecy, we still have a hidden combat force, which is my old department." Before we entered the mountains, I ordered them to get here early, and when the battle began, they waited for an opportunity to attack the oak barriers, and in one fell swoop to eliminate the enemy's lair, so that we could turn defeat into victory. ”

Exewin finished the whole process in very brief words, and everyone suddenly realized when they heard it, and at the same time, they all sighed in their hearts that the scheming of this female elf could be described as terrifying. But Sawan was not satisfied with this answer, and he said, "So we occupy the sacrificial place just to lure the elves out, which means that we are just bait, right?"

Exewin saw that there was a fire in Savin's tone, but in front of so many people, she could only nod and reply: "It can be regarded as a part, this is just a part of the whole strategy, not deliberately sacrificing anyone, in order to be able to eliminate the enemy's lair in one fell swoop." ”

"Then why hide it from us, aren't we worthy of your trust?" said Savan, getting angrier and angrier, and stood up again.

Sawin was particularly angry when he talked about the occupation of the elven altar, he thought about it carefully last night, and it was he who found the altar, but the elf who lured him to the altar might be Exewin's man, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was very likely.

Savin felt that he had been tricked by Exewin from beginning to end, and once he had this thought, and he thought about it all the way, Savin even felt that Axivin had already begun to lure him into the trap step by step when he was in Thorin City.

Seeing that Savan's question was aggressive, Exewin couldn't help but get angry, she raised her eyebrows, and unconsciously raised her voice: "Why do you say this, I also want to win, if the news leaks out, the whole plan will fail! Don't you understand the importance of secrecy?"

"I'm not talking about secrecy, I'm about trust!" Samin slammed the table and roared, the sound of which shook the room.

When everyone saw that Sawan was really angry, they all hurriedly persuaded: "Lord Sawen, don't be angry, if you have something to discuss......

As soon as everyone persuaded Savan, Savan's anger was even greater, and he pointed his finger at Exewin and asked, "Also, you said that the elven tribe and the thief group colluded, but I didn't see any evidence, you made it up, right?

Savan's question happened to reach everyone's heart, which is also what they have always suspected, everyone only knew in advance that Exewin was the representative of the earl, but the specific plan was not very clear to everyone, and now Sawin made the problem clear for them.

In the face of Savan's accusations, Exewin's face turned pale with anger, his chest rose and fell violently, and he didn't know how to answer this series of questions for a moment.
