I really can't control myself.

Chapter 1768 Fermentation
Linton is busy building the city here, and the foreign war is slowly fermenting there.

The empire officially announced the confession of the captured assassins, saying that they were all bought by the elf kingdom of Valaxi, with the purpose of destroying the banquet and assassinating the heir of the empire.Of course, there is no need for the empire to announce it. In fact, before it was announced, everyone knew about the rumors, and they didn't know where they came from.

At this time, the people of the entire empire are celebrating the birth of the heir, which is the hope of the future of the empire, but this kind of thing suddenly happened, which is obviously not good for them.The attitude of the people can be imagined, everyone is filled with righteous indignation, the Kingdom of Wallahi has hit the gunpoint.

Of course, no one cares about the so-called truth, nor will they actually find out whether those assassins were bought by the people of the elf kingdom, anyway, the empire has already announced the news.An invisible hand has been pushing things forward. For example, now, all the people care about is asking the Elven Kingdom for an explanation.

So what is the reaction of the Elven Kingdom of Valashi?Just no response.Yes, Empress Yalan just sent a questioning letter at first, asking the other party to explain, but the letter of credence was sent, but nothing came to light. After waiting for a few days, the other party did not reply or declare at all. It seems that they have not received their letter of credence. generally.

Yalan also asked someone to confirm, but the credentials were indeed sent, but the other party just didn't respond.Then this time it really didn't give the empire face.

This matter is indeed a problem of the elves. As I said before, these elves are still very proud. They have indeed been questioned by the Holy Empire of Elan. Of course, they are also quite confused. What does this have to do with them?They really don't know anything about assassins, and of course they are not the ones they sent.

Originally, I should explain it out of emotion and reason. Although it is probably not very useful to explain this matter, it was originally planned by the empire, but at least explaining it can make sense for you.However, the reaction of the elves was to ignore it.

Yes, the elves are too lazy to take care of these messy things. They basically won't participate in the mainland war. You can do whatever you like, and we take care of our own lives.What kind of banquet invitation letter before, you can do it yourself, they are too lazy to attend.The current questioning letter has nothing to do with them, and I don't bother to reply to you.They don't bother to care about things that have nothing to do with them.

However, this naturally aroused the anger of the Holy Empire of Elan. The people were already very angry, but you still didn't respond. This is a guilty conscience, right? You did it, and you acquiesced, right?

All of a sudden, the public resentment boiled over, and the recruiting sites of various legions were suddenly filled with applicants, saying that they were going to the battlefield to find the elves for an explanation.

It's just that there is really no shortage of soldiers in the empire at present, and the major legions are basically organized. To be honest, there are too many soldiers, and the number of recruits is simply not enough.

At this time, the generals of each legion also jointly signed a letter, asking the queen to order the expedition. The righteousness is naturally to seek justice for the heir, the prince. In fact, it is mainly the First Legion on the side of Esdes who shined in the war of the orcs. They are all envious of the military achievements they have made. Now that the empire is strong and strong, they really want to fight.

The hearts of the army and the people are all twisted together at this time, and the war against the elves is obviously imperative.Yalan's side is not something you hesitate to do. She thought it was a bit strange that the assassin was from the elf faction before. Of course, she didn't think about Linton's side, but wondered if people from other countries framed him or something. But you, the elves, didn't even reply to the questioning letter. This is too disrespectful to the empire. It really doesn't matter what the empire says.

But before the official start of the war, there is still a problem to be solved, that is...their empire and the elves do not border at all, and there is a country in between.

It is estimated that most of the people who shouted to find the elves to settle accounts there probably didn't know about it. It should be that most people didn't even know which side the elves were in.The territory of the elves is actually in the north of the empire. Valaxi is a kingdom, but in terms of territory, it is about the same size as the Holy Empire of Elan.

It's just that there are large areas of undeveloped forests in the territory of the elves. The scope of the territory is very large, but the national power... is actually very weak, and they rarely communicate with the outside world, and there is almost no development in business and the like.But the reason why the minister told Linton that the elves were not easy to deal with was mainly because of their racial talent.

Yes, the elves belong to the longevity race compared with humans, and the attributes of the innate panel are several grades higher than humans.Especially the outstanding talent in archery and magic, it should be said that humans cannot compare.Of course, the human race also has its own racial talents, and the explosive population is one of them.Despite the large size of the elf empire, the population is estimated to be less than one-thirtieth of that of the human empire. In this age similar to the Middle Ages, population is manpower, and manpower is national power. Can it do more work than 30 humans?
What's more, they have blocked themselves, and the gap between the two countries in terms of technology has become even bigger.The army's weapons and equipment are obviously not of the same level. The elves here don't even know how to forge armor. It is said that most of the army wears leather armor, or leather with an additional layer of iron.

Of course, the gap between the two countries is something after the fight, and what I want to talk about now is how to fight.This is about the country that is separated between the two countries, an unlucky country called Sardinia.

The Kingdom of Sardinia is a small country with a small land area.The land in the country is barren, and the north is close to the big forest, but the elves do not let them enter, and draw a national boundary line across the forest. In short, the rich resources in the forest have nothing to do with them.The border of the Human Race Empire is on the south side, and of course it is an existence that they can't afford to mess with. The broken land in the middle, when the Human Race was still three points before, they didn't bother to ask for this land, so they didn't destroy the country, and survived in this crack. .

Of course they went to the full moon banquet of the heirs of the southern empire, instead of simply sending people to celebrate, the king himself went directly, becoming one of the few countries where the king personally attended.In fact, the survival of their country does not depend partly on the breath of the human empire, because the empire really wants to move them, it is almost effortless, and it must establish a good relationship with them.

Unexpectedly, the king attended the banquet in person, and the thunderbolt came before the flattery was photographed.The king hasn't returned yet, and he has already heard that the human race may go to war with the elves, and their country happens to be in the middle of the two countries. Isn't this a dog?

The king of Sardinia decided that his country might become the main battlefield of the two countries. Can their small broken country stand the devastation of such a war?But the question is what do you say?He can't help it, the sadness of the small country, there is no way to choose anything.All he can do now is pray that the two sides don't fight.

It's a pity that praying is useless. Yalan here knew that the king of Sardinia hadn't returned yet, so he summoned him directly and said that our side is preparing to go to war. What are you going to do?The relationship between our two countries is good, why don't you fight the elves with us.

The king of Sardinia said that you are joking, our entire country has less than 1000 soldiers, and any of your legions is 10,000+, you want us to fight elves with you?Obviously, what the Holy Empire of Elan wants is not their military help at all, but their agreement to participate in the war, then their land will naturally become a real battlefield.

Of course he doesn't want to get involved. It's best if we are neutral. If you want to fight around our country, it's best not to get involved with us.Surely this is possible?Obviously impossible.What Yalan meant was that we were going to expropriate your land. The king of Sardinia could understand, but he didn't want to, but he couldn't help it.

In the end, the King of Sardinia "graciously agreed" to join the war.So the next day, the Elan Holy Empire declared war on the elves, mobilized 34 troops and three legions, and set off towards the north.The Kingdom of Sardinia sent 800 Royal Guards to join the battle, and the king personally led the army. This scale is already the strength of the Kingdom of Sardinia.

And the 34 troops dispatched by the Holy Empire of Elan are only half of the total army strength of the empire. Yes, the current national power of the empire is really strong enough to explode. The orc clan over there has not yet brought back a legion, so it can be casually assembled here. The army of more than 30 has not yet fought, and this national strength has already made other forces in the whole mainland speechless.

And this sudden declaration of war made the Elven Kingdom a little confused, did they really declare war with them?To be honest, they really didn't take the previous questioning letter seriously, but they didn't expect that the next letter they received would be a letter of war.

And the first reaction of the elves is to get angry. They have already made them very upset by questioning them inexplicably before. If you ignore you, it will be considered as a face for your human race. How dare you come to them?So the elves sent a response for the first time, and the content of the response was to scold the human race and apologize to them quickly.

This time, the human race ignored it, and the forces of the three legions had already assembled to the north.The stage of talking has passed, and the moment when the declaration of war is issued, it is no longer a problem that can be solved with words. I don't have time to play tricks with you.

Of course, it will take about half a month for the three legions to assemble in the north alone, so there is still a while before the official start of the war.At this time, Linton finally found a relatively suitable task, and he was also ready to set off to investigate.
