Chapter 259 Assassination
He didn't hesitate too much about the question of whether to go to the past, not to mention that he was surrounded by allies, the easing of the relationship between the elves was beneficial to him, and the conflict of interest between him and other elves was minimal, taking this opportunity Expanding your network is also a good idea.

Not far south of Oran is a remaining kingdom of the elves. The straight-line distance between Karak Solmar and this place is not very far. There are many resources that Tang Zhao needs very much.

He doesn't represent any race or extreme gods. His ambition is not too much, as long as he can live a stable and comfortable life. He doesn't want to exclude all other races. If he can communicate peacefully, he should try his best to resolve it peacefully.

Facing the invitation from the elves, the other races in the city fortress had no intention of objecting, and they all supported Tang Zhao's participation, so a team was quickly organized and prepared to move.

The composition of the team is unprecedentedly single: elves, a few auxiliary animals, and no other races. This is strongly suggested by the elves in the city, because they think that elves will be very xenophobic .

The reason is that the current living conditions of the elves are far better than that of the dwarves. It is indeed impossible to restore the original state close to hegemony, but it is not difficult to maintain their existence and even flourish. They are still a quite vengeful race, no matter This is true both within the same race and against other races.

Exactly why elves and dwarves had similar populations and comprehensive strengths before, but their recovery levels are completely different after a big war, this is a very profound question, and Tang Zhao can't just make a few guesses and assumptions It makes sense, and scholars of various races have also made many seemingly good and logical inferences, but none of them have been recognized by others.

There are not many people in the group, and there are about 20 people in total. Except for Tang Zhao himself, the accompanying people are all "affiliated personnel", that is, doctors, navigators, scouts, guards and other roles, that is to say Tang Zhao himself is responsible and plenipotentiary.

This can be regarded as the initiative of the elves themselves, because in order to maintain the balance between the various forces, when it comes to foreign exchanges, either all have the right to speak, or none of them have the right to speak. The Tang Dynasty edict of the author represents the interests of himself, or the entire city.

This time, it is no longer necessary to spend dozens of days in a boat and carriage as before. The vultures have been domesticated and can be put into daily use, and the Oran people have slightly strengthened the number and put them into daily patrol and escort tasks. come.

Tang Zhao and the others were going to travel far away, so they naturally dispatched some vultures for him, brought all the necessary supplies, and everyone went out from Karak Solma, preparing for a long journey.

If you look down from the sky, the shadow of the war has not completely gone away—the previous war was considered to have defeated a relatively important mobile force of the orcs. Some races are also in a state of depression, and it is difficult to achieve this effect by simply fighting, so the Oran people still maintain a large-scale defense line to guard against each other. Looking down from Tang Zhao's current perspective, the entire line of defense with campfires is quite large. For the spectacular.

There were also several interrogations by humans on the road, but they were allies after all. After explaining their intentions and providing relevant evidence, they were not too embarrassed. The other party let them go directly, and even provided an escort for a short distance.

The elves and Tang Zhao knew very well that the other party was monitoring their actions, but this was in the other party's territory, so there was nothing to say, just follow the rules.

After a break at the supply point provided by humans, they quickly left the human country and continued to walk south.

Nominally speaking, the south of the Oran border is the territory of the elves, but in fact the situation is slightly different: the number of settlements has decreased significantly, the main body is still humans, and the elves are only distributed in a very small number of forests or valleys. .

The main reason is the lack of population. The elves cannot fill such a vast area by themselves. They are mainly concentrated in the largest and safest forests or cities. As for the outer areas, they are more generous in allowing humans to enter and breathe. As long as you abide by the rules of the elves, the elves don't have to make trouble with them.

The biggest difference with Karak Solma is that although the elves can tolerate humans to settle in their own land, the two do not have a deep integration, and they still live their own traditional lives.

While Tang Zhao was observing the farmlands and mills on the ground, an alarm sounded in his heart. He subconsciously looked at the surrounding environment, and saw countless conical dark gray objects shooting from all directions on the ground at an unresponsive speed. Assault on them.

[Come closer to me!Mage get your shields ready!hurry up! 】

He only had time to say hello to his entourage, and then Tang Zhao focused his attention on the conical objects that were shot, trying to block the next part with spiritual energy.

With the vulture where he was at the center, the conical objects within four or five meters around were deflected by invisible forces after they approached, and passed by.

The incident happened suddenly, and the strength of the entourage around them was not particularly strong. Most of them didn't react, and they were directly shot through or shot down. Falling from a height of several hundred meters was basically equivalent to a death sentence.

After blocking the first wave of shooting, before he had time to catch his breath, the second round of shooting came again. It was obvious that the assassin was well prepared. All are remarkable, and they are attacking the people on the vulture.

After all, Tang Zhao's psychic energy reserve is limited, he is not good at it, he can't stop it to this extent, the attacks from all directions will have to stop deflecting after a while.

A few thoughts flashed through his mind, and he quickly made a decision.

【Fly to a higher place, find the elves here, report the situation to them, let them be vigilant, but be careful, understand what I mean?In short, I put my own safety first, and I will handle the rest by myself, and I will meet you at the destination, but before that, I need to investigate this matter first. 】

He couldn't confirm who the attacker was. It might be a hobgoblin or an orc, or it might be a human who held a different opinion, or simply some humans. Be careful at this time.

"Yes!"

The guards also knew that the situation was urgent, and they would be acting as oil bottles to stay here, and their lives would be in danger, so after saying hello, they began to accelerate towards the sky, trying to use the clouds to cover their tracks.
