The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.

Chapter 607 The Elf Queen's Conditions

Under the dim moonlight, the wall of Stone City stretched for nearly ten kilometers, far longer than the previous wall of Stone Fort.

In addition to its length, the height of the city wall has also been greatly improved.

Based on the previous height, ordinary Behemoths wouldn’t be able to do it, but the Ghost Behemoth that appeared yesterday could definitely sweep the soldiers on the city wall by raising its claws.

Given the current height of the city walls, even if they could jump, they would not pose any threat to the soldiers on the walls.

What's more, considering the huge size of those beasts, jumping is definitely not an easy task for them.

However, the biggest change in Stone City is not the improvement of the city, but the change in the environment around the city.

The area around the original Stone Castle was basically covered with weeds, except for a small stream shared by three towns.

And now, the small stream is completely hidden in the dense and lush forest.

Xu Lai was also extremely shocked to suddenly see such a huge forest on the grassland.

"Why so fast?"

But this was something he had ordered a long time ago, so it wasn't particularly surprising.

It was only two months at most, but the forest had already become so dense that he could not adapt for a while.

"Have you forgotten that the city you built belongs to the Fortress Camp?

Last time, you provided very important help to the elf envoys, so it was only natural that Sister Reina asked the Elf Queen for help.

The Elf Queen sent some forest herders and provided us with many excellent tree species, and even sent an ancient guardian over.

Of course, the greatest credit goes to Sister Bai Yang.

She hadn't moved for several months, but this time she was busy all day. At least half of the forests on both sides of the Stone City were cultivated by her. "

Xu Lai nodded, then asked in confusion: "Both sides?"

Giselle smiled and said, "Of course it's on both sides. There are large forests on both sides of the Stone City. Even the cattle and sheep are temporarily hiding in these forests."

The moonlight is dim today and the city wall is too long. Even if Xu Lai has good eyesight, he can't see what is happening more than ten kilometers away.

The huge city seemed a little dim under the moonlight.

It was obvious that there were not many people living here, and the magic lights only covered the castle area, with few lights in other places.

Xu Lai himself has dark vision, so he doesn't care much about the lights. He can see clearly in the dark.

After entering the city, the entire city is of a completely different style from the imperial city. The buildings in the imperial city are basically made of stone, while the buildings in the fortress city are mostly made of wood.

On the way to the castle, Xu Lai also saw a large number of tree houses. Giselle introduced them, saying, "That is a place specially allocated for the elves to live.

There are many cute elves in it, Xu Lai, do you want to go and have a look?"

Gisele blinked her big eyes and looked at Xu Lai with a smile.

To be honest, Xu Lai and Gisele didn't have much time to be alone together. Even during their married life, Gisele could only sleep with the same bed.

Xu Lai still feels indebted to Gisele.

In addition, he was also very interested in the elves' city, so he asked Elvy, Roland and the others to take the angels and paladins back to rest.

The soldiers guarding the city and patrolling at night naturally knew Xu Lai, so he could go anywhere without any hindrance.

Besides, it was already late at night and most people had already fallen asleep. Xu Lai didn't even wake up Lena and the others, and of course he wouldn't disturb anyone else.

The style of the tree houses is very unique, but these tree houses are probably all built based on the heart of the castle, so they are basically the same.

There were originally some elves living in Xu Lai's Qingfeng City, all of whom were rescued by Xu Lai from the stronghold.

At this time, the elves in Qingfeng City were estimated to have moved to Wanshi City.

In addition, the elves who came to support from the Elf Queen, as well as the elf warriors and elves recruited by Reina, also live here.

When Xu Lai and his companions walked by, they could see some elves entwined on the big trees in the tree house forest, and standard wood was constantly extracted by these elves.

The troops on duty here are also from the elven tribe. Some wood elves wearing green cloaks are wandering around these tree houses.

Although these wood elves are not of high level, they can walk on the trees as if they were walking on flat ground, and the key is that they can do so without making any sound.

In addition to this tree house, Gisele also took Xu Lai to see many small earth-like houses.

"This is a miner's hut. Dwarves like to live in houses like this. They would like to dig through the earth.

I heard from Sister Reina that many dwarves came to Stone City, all of them came here on their own initiative.

After all, there are too few minerals in the forest, and many dwarves cannot engage in their favorite professions. "

Dwarves are particularly good at and fond of forging, and are particularly interested in various metals.

It's a pity that the environment in which the elves live is not suitable for dwarves. Some of them are unwilling to integrate into the barrier camp and become wild gray dwarves, slingers, boar riders and the like.

The dwarves have not yet emerged with a tribe that can compete with the elves, but the Elf Queen once predicted that the dwarves will eventually break away from the elves.

After passing the tree house and the small mud house, there are several patches of woodland, some of which are in the shape of arches, and some of which have a faint holy glow.

There is a rather tall rockery in the middle, with pure white spring water flowing on the mountain, and a leaping Pegasus above its head.

Giselle continued to introduce Xu Lai: "The high-level magic spring, the dead wood arch, and the sacred place in the forest."

Xu Lai saw Bai Yang resting in the archway, and saw Pegasus lying on the ground near the magic spring.

Although nothing was seen in the holy land in the forest, the holy aura was possessed by no other creatures in the entire barrier camp except unicorns and unicorn mythical beasts.

"It seems that, apart from the Dragon's Nest, the Fortress City also has all the necessary buildings."

There are giant dragons in the Stone City, four level 4 green dragons, all of which were tributes from the underground nobles of the dungeon.

There are still a few giants left in Qingfeng City. The giants that have not been upgraded to Titans only have melee combat capabilities, so bringing them out will not be of much use.

Giselle smiled and said, “There is no dragon nest now, but Sister Reina has been negotiating with the Elf Queen during this period.

It is said that the Elf Queen has tentatively agreed to hand over the blueprints of the Dragon's Nest to us, but Sister Lena refused to agree to the Elf Queen's conditions."

The blueprint of the Dragon's Nest is to an elven city what a city in the clouds is to it. If possible, Xu Lai would certainly not be willing to give it up.

"What conditions did the Elf Queen put forward? We have plenty of money and resources now. She just wants equipment, and we have enough reserves.

I'm not afraid of her making demands, I'm just afraid she won't sell."

Giselle hesitated and said, "She doesn't want money or resources, she just wants people. Anyone is fine."

“Two people, one of whom I know is that the Elf Queen must be obsessed with Reina.

What about the other person?"

Giselle opened her mouth, wanting to say something but stopped herself.

Xu Lai was stunned, and touched Giselle's head and said, "Does she want you to go to her side? The Elf Queen's appetite is too big." Giselle shook her head and said, "The Elf Queen doesn't want me as a person, she wants me to go over and help her train a team of phantom shooters.

She promised that if I worked for her for ten years, she would immediately give me the blueprints of the dragon's nest and also give us a pair of purple dragons."

"A pair of purple dragons? Not recruited?"

"Of course not. The purple dragons we recruited cannot be described as a pair. The Elf Queen must be talking about a purple dragon couple.

Although the more powerful the dragon, the more difficult it is to give birth, but as long as there is enough time, they will always give birth to offspring. "

Xu Lai frowned and said decisively: "The conditions are very tempting, but forget it, I will explain it to Reina in person tomorrow.

In my heart, you, like Yu Lan and Su Ya, are my women and have never been items that can be traded. "

Giselle was touched and hugged Xu Lai's arm and said coquettishly: "The queen didn't tell me when to go.

Besides, after the battle here is over, I actually want to go to the elf territory to take a look.

That world seems to have only existed in my imagination, and it always seems unreal to me. "

Xu Lai didn't know whether the memories in Gisele, Suya and others' minds were real or instilled.

Anyway, what they described based on their memory has never been wrong, which proves that it is extremely true.

But Xu Lai knew their origins very clearly.

“Not to mention you, I’m also curious about the world of elves.

Once things settle down here, I'll go with you to the elf territory.

But whether you want to live there for a while or are just curious about it, I hope that the decision you make is based on your own wishes, not for me.

If you lose the right to choose because of me, I will be very upset. "

Xu Lai did not continue walking, but turned around to face Gisele, and held Gisele's hands sincerely.

Giselle's face, illuminated by the moonlight, was faintly rosy.

"Hey, it's getting late, why don't you go to bed early."

It was already late at night, and of course it was getting late. In the entire city, apart from the soldiers working the night shift, the elves, and the recruited farmers who had been transferred here, they were the only ones who had not yet rested.

But obviously, the rest Gisele mentioned was not just a simple rest.

Xu Lai laughed, his fingers gently brushed Giselle's red pointed ears, and said with a smile:
"That's true. It's not very clear at night. We might as well come back tomorrow to appreciate the rest during the day."

The spring breeze was blowing gently here, and it was difficult for me to fall asleep for a long time.

On the orc stronghold side, the orc leaders gathered together and were not sleepy at all.

"Union hasn't returned yet, and there's been no response from the communication. He must have met with an accident."

Beast King Sachs sat on a temporary throne made of tiger skin and spoke in a deep voice to the row of senior heroes sitting below.

"Impossible. Union's speed is so fast that even the fastest bird of prey in the Gobi Desert and the fastest arrow in the grassland can't catch up with him. How could he be in trouble?"

As the supreme commander of the stronghold, the most powerful military force, and the one who controls the powerful Behemoth tribe, no one dares to refute what the Beast King says.

However, the one who jumped up at this time was Axe King Monroka, an orc who was like a brother to Sachs and Union.

With one hand under the tiger skin and clenched his fist tightly, Sachs looked at Monroka calmly and said:

“I believe that no one in this world can capture Union.

Even though I don't want to believe it, this is basically the fact.

Monroka, I know you are very sad, but now you have to turn this sadness into motivation.

If we stay in the Gobi Desert, we orcs will not achieve anything great even if we develop for thousands of years.

This time, we have finally led the troops over Pingfeng Mountain, and we must seize enough land from humans to recover the losses.

Otherwise, it would be very difficult for us to leave the grassland alive."

Pingfeng Mountain is difficult to enter and exit. There are only a few passages and the roads are so narrow that the troops in the stronghold spent a whole day but were unable to pass even one-tenth of the way through.

It was like this when I came in and it was like this when I escaped.

And when they came in, there were generals maintaining order, and there were people commanding and leading them.

If that happens, they are chased by humans and there is no order. I don’t know how many orcs can run back.

Either they were blocked by the mountains or they were crowded with people. I don't know how many orcs would fall to their deaths in the Pingfeng Mountains.

This scene is not horrifying at all, but it actually happened thousands of years ago.

When the orcs were driven to the Gobi Desert, more than half of their possessions were left around this mountain range.

It was also from then on that the mountain range was called Pingfeng Mountain, meaning the barrier of mankind.

Monroka was breathing heavily. He didn't look at Sachs who was sitting on the throne. Instead, after sitting down, he glared at Ruda who had escaped back.

Lu Da got goose bumps all over his body after being glared at by him.

Although Beastmaster Sachs was known as the first warrior of the Orcs, that title was actually obtained when Swordmaster Union and Axemaster Monroka did not take the field.

As high-level heroes who specialize in their own training, both of them have equipment and skills that only serve them personally.

It would not be surprising to choose either of these two people as the first warrior of the orcs, except for the Beast King Sachs, as no one had any confidence in him before.

Sachs followed Monroka's gaze and saw Ruda avoiding Monroka's eyes.

If it wasn't for the need to provide timely support to Ruda, of course, Sachs was also trying to steal the chicken.

But in the final analysis, the death of Sword Saint Union is closely related to Ruda.

In addition, due to Ruda's identity as a half-orc, his status is the lowest among all the tribal leaders and senior heroes present.

If it were another time, Sachs would definitely use Ruda as a sacrifice to appease himself and Monroka.

However, since his own flying corps had been badly damaged and several flying commanders with the ability to taming beasts had been killed, Sachs certainly could not use Ruda as a sacrifice.

Not only could he not kill this person, he had to comfort him, saying, “Okay, I’m here, you don’t have to be afraid of anything.

There is still enough reserve force at home. Even if Xu Lai has only a few soldiers, there is no way they can compare with us.

After that, as long as you do what you are supposed to do, I will ensure that you are safe."

Ruda swallowed his saliva, stepped out and said to Sachs: "Ruda swears allegiance to the chief until death."

Sachs waved his hand and turned to York, the senior hero of the One-Eyed Tribe, who was sitting in the second row.
"York, you are the only one who has actually fought against Xu Lai. Please introduce us to the opponent we are going to face."
