Chapter 888 (1/2)
The ”battle of honor” that shocked the whole ancient wood forest has come to an end, but for the elves of the ancient wood forest, everything has just begun.
There are hundreds of settlements and thousands of elves. They must migrate to the big tree wall before the end of summer, attack before the ogres entrenched there launch the offensive at the end of summer, stand firm on the southern border before the cold winter, and start this unprecedented ”big hunting”.
According to Luca's prediction, at least one tenth of the settlements will complete colonization before winter, laying a good foundation for the subsequent relocated settlements and establishing a ”forward defense line” to attack south.
This is bound to be very difficult... When winter comes, the ogres will launch a fierce attack on the elf settlement; The war dancers who have lost the cover of the big tree wall must protect the settlement and fight against the enemies from all directions in the open forest.
Some... Many war dancers will fall in this initial offensive; We will never see the new year when the snow melts and everything bursts out.
Looking at the calm middle-aged elves, the little wizard and Loren can only silently bless them. I hope the war dancers in the morning star forest can spend this doomed difficult winter.
Although Luca doesn't seem to care
The imperial mission that has completed its mission is also ”divided into two”. Peter FASA and his deputy will turn to the imperial capital, while Loren and his party will go to the red blood Castle nonstop.
As for why the night watchman's informant was placed in the mission, Loren suspected that mentor Dalton had deliberately arranged to take the opportunity to pull out the night watchman's nail in the Knights.
But before that, they must go to the morning star forest together.
After arriving at the eastern settlement, Loren and his entourage met the Knight Commander Aaron who came at the command of Reuven Friede.
It was not until he set out that Aaron got the real order from Archduke lottel from yingshou castle in the rear - the heavenly palace only issued the order to assemble troops to prevent accidents, but did not command to put troops into the front line of Shenlin castle.
The reply surprised the knight in a cold sweat; What frightened him was not only the power of the Azores, but also the infiltration into lottel; It's the spirit of the ancient wood forest who really plans to invade lottel!
From lottel to ancient wood forest, only shenlinbao can be passed by the army; But the elves' War dancers can attack lottel from anywhere in the forest; This means that at the beginning of the war, half of lottel will fall directly, and all villages and towns without fortress and Castle shelter will be swept away!
This is also an important reason why Lu Wen has always tried to avoid the war between lottel and ancient wood forest... In the face of war dancers with excellent mobility and individual combat power, lottel really doesn't have many good countermeasures except avoiding the war.
Whether victory or defeat, lottel will suffer heavy losses, which can not be avoided at all.
But if the enemy were the Azores who came across the ocean, the situation would be completely different.
Although the elves withdrew from a large area of forest in the north, if their army is similar to the Empire, their attack route is only shenlinbao line... Which means that lottel really has to start preparing for war.
”... I have a general understanding of the situation, and I will convey the details to master Reuven and Duke lottel.” with a long sigh, the tired Knight frowned tightly.
”Unexpectedly... Apart from the misty sea, the Azores can reach out to the Empire and lottel; it's really... Great courage!”
Gnashing his teeth, Aaron's eyes twinkled with anger: ”since they come to visit, we have to treat them well and let them truly experience the enthusiasm of loterians.”
”Fortunately, their attempt to plot against the ancient wood forest has failed - at least in the short term, there can be no more action.” the black haired wizard smiled:
”The fog moon court was burned to white by the elves. Even if the Azores fleet could escape the imperial surveillance and land in the ancient wood forest, it could not get any supplies... Even if it could attack lottel across half the forest, it could only invest thousands of troops at most.”
”I have discussed with the elves in the morning star forest. Once they find that the army of Azores elves is close, they will send messengers to Shenlin castle. I believe that Shenlin castle, which is as solid as gold, will become a sad halberd for the Azores eagle king!”
With his mouth tilted, Loren looked into the knight's long eyes: ”the reputation of the 'Catcher' at the west gate of the Empire, even if it's a gift I gave to ruwen to be crowned Lord of lottel.”
The two people with opposite eyes had a tacit understanding and smiled.
”I think if you can give this' gift 'to master ruwen at the coronation ceremony, he will be happier.” the knight raised his head and looked at Loren meaningfully:
”I know it's presumptuous to ask a Duke like this, which may bring accusations from the heavenly palace and the church, but...”
”You are his friend, a friend who can trust each other's lives.”
The knight's tone was very heavy, with a strong feeling of expectation.
The dark haired wizard sighed secretly... Because he really didn't have time this time.
”Please tell Reuven that after he is crowned, I will send a special mission and caravan to the morning star forest to negotiate with the elves there.” Loren looked at him carefully: ”if the Lord of lottel doesn't dislike it at that time, there will be a full-power envoy of mine in the mission, who can negotiate with him.”
”... I see.”
The knight's long face was a little gloomy, but there was no accident - it was better to say that if Loren agreed to this kind of thing, he would be surprised:
”As long as it does not involve violation of imperial laws, as long as we can take it, lottel will provide all convenience for Bain's mission and caravan.”
”The south gate and the west gate of the Empire will be guarded by two great and long-standing families to bring long-term and stable peace to the Empire!”
”Byrne and lottel are destined to become the saviors of the Empire in this inevitable disaster, and become the three pillars supporting the saklan empire with West saklan, where the imperial capital is located.” Loren was equally impassioned:
”Yingshou castle, Golovin and red blood castle will be the core of the stable triangle; if the triangle exists, the Empire will not be destroyed!”
The Knight Commander nodded, bowed slightly to Loren, and then turned away with decisive steps.
Only Loren, still standing in place, seemed to be waiting for something.
Sure enough... Until the knight walked away, the female elf who always hid behind carefully came out and looked at Loren's joking eyes, her face flushed with shame.
”What are you doing?!”
”Nothing.” the narrow-minded black haired wizard said, ”after all, I've been chatting with the knight just now. I didn't notice the existence of a war dancer, so I'm a little curious.”
”Curious?”
”Yes, I'm curious... How long have you been standing in the back?”
