Start with an Archangel

As a territory of the elves, Chongming Island is a large dense forest, and Chongming City is built in this forest.

Trees, thorns, earth and rocks build a tall city wall. Within this wall is a city full of fantasy colors. The buildings of the elves are not as regular as those built by the humans, with clearly defined streets and houses. Freedom and art fill the soul of every elf. They can build wooden houses on tall trees, or build dwarf villages in gardens. The vine bridges connecting the trees are their streets. All kinds of critters can wander into their homes and take whatever food is left on the table.

Originally this was a city full of peace and freedom, but now it has completely entered a state of war.

The centaurs are forming phalanxes one after another, the dwarves are pushing their artillery and various supplies, the elven archers have been stationed in the city walls and tall wooden arrow towers in the forest, and the Pegasus knights are blocking the sky above the entire Chongming Island. , the tree men moved towards the coastline with slow steps, as well as beautiful unicorns and dragons that made high-pitched calls.

Chongming City has completed all preparations for war.

A small group of Pegasus knights brought Daliang into the city. As a noble directly under the King of Donghai, Daliang was received by Marquis Joshua, the lord of Chongming City.

In the Marquis's castle, in a room used to receive visits from foreign envoys, Daliang got his wish and met Marquis Joshua in time.

He is a male elf in his prime, wearing armor and ready for battle. When he saw Da Liang, he raised his chin and said in the tone of a superior: "I haven't been to Shangjiang City for a long time. I haven't seen you, but your badge is real. It seems that you are a A newly promoted noble. His Majesty the King of the East China Sea is willing to send a direct noble to negotiate with me. I feel his sincerity. But... If Shangjiang City wants peace talks, it must immediately return my Feichen Island and kill Archangel Andre's murderer was handed over to me. Andre has been doing his best to protect me and my city. I want to avenge him with my own hands. If you don't agree to this condition, we will not accept any request for peace talks."

"Ahem, cough, cough," being regarded as the messenger of peace talks, Daliang cleared his throat slightly awkwardly: "Well, what should I say? Let me introduce myself, my name is Daliang, I was just canonized as a baron today, my fiefdom …It’s Feichen Island…”

The atmosphere in the room suddenly turned cold.

"You are really brave!" Marquis Joshua put his hand on the hilt of his sword. He really couldn't believe that a murderer who killed his archangel, golden dragon, and occupied the crystal mine during the day, actually killed him at night. He just walked into his castle in a grand manner.

Daliang stretched out his hands to show that he had no ill intentions. He said: "I hope Mr. Marquis can let me finish my words. It will not do you any good to kill me now. The person who killed Andre and the two golden dragons is standing outside. I don't know if she is your opponent, but you should know that she is very fast and murderous. Only I can suppress her murderous nature now, you don't want her to be uncontrollable here, right?"

The level 15 creature that killed Andre, the two golden dragons and all the remaining elves on Feichen Island is here! Joshua looked at the direction of the door warily.

Through the final report of the defending hero of Fairy Dust Island, the Marquis knew that this was a creature that could move at high speeds in subspace. Such a creature was far more difficult to deal with than those level 15 ground creatures. The two sides faced each other. Joshua was confident of dealing with a level 15 creature, but his soldiers were not. If this murderous creature really goes on a killing spree here, even if he kills the creature, Chongming City will have to pay a huge price.

Now Joshua is making a desperate move to attack Shangjiang City. He must defeat the Pudong fleet in one go and land outside Shangjiang City. Only in this way will he get the response of the other three allies, and if he suffers too serious losses at this time, the impact of the Chongming City army will be greatly weakened. Joshua didn't have much confidence in this war. If even the Pudong fleet couldn't rush through, the three cunning marquises would never mobilize their own soldiers. Then the elves of Chongming City would have no choice but to fight. Waiting for death on the island.

This was a war that no one was prepared for, and Joshua was unwilling to take risks. He slowly released the hand holding the sword, motioned for Daliang to sit down, and then asked, "Why are you here with me?"

If there is no direct killing, it means that we can talk.

Daliang found a chair and sat down: "Not long ago, His Majesty the King of the East China Sea held a royal meeting on this incident. I had the honor to attend... and sit in. Sir Marquis, do you want to know what decision His Majesty made in the end?"

Marquis Joshua sneered: "If it was twenty years ago, he would definitely come here. But now... I'm afraid he no longer has that ambition. I think the peace envoy is already ready to come. Maybe he will agree to what I just said." Request - give me Feichen Island."

Sure enough, there are not many NPCs in the game. The Marquis far away in Chongming City easily guessed the outcome of the imperial meeting, but Da Liang would not be frightened: "Master Marquis, you only guessed part of it, Your Majesty. He wants to negotiate peace, but he has not completely lost his previous ambitions. He clearly pointed out that this peace negotiation will not accept any conditions from Chongming City. \

,"Marquis Joshua did not show any expression: "Since you know that His Majesty will not agree to any conditions, why do you still come to me?"

Daliang did not directly answer the Marquis' question. He said: "About the crystal mine, not many people on Chongming Island know about it."

When Da Liang mentioned the crystal mine, it was like a dagger stabbing into Marquis Joshua's heart. His face became extremely ugly, but he did not dare to reveal the secret loudly. He threatened in a low voice: "That crystal mine belongs to me. You robber, sooner or later I will kill you and take my crystal back."

Joshua's performance told Daliang that the crystal mine was also a huge secret in Chongming City. This explained why the elf hero on Feichen Island was not outstanding in strength. He was Joshua's confidant but not a powerful hero. Marquis Joshua appointed his most trusted people to guard the island, but he never expected that he would lose the crystal mine because of this.

"You are not the only one who wants to kill me. But at least Feichen Island is in my hands now. I have been canonized by His Majesty the King of the East China Sea. Feichen Island is my legal fiefdom, and everything on the island is mine. ." Daliang spread his hands relaxedly, "I don't think you have enough military power to deal with me before you defeat Shangjiang City. Even when you attack Shangjiang City, you have to worry about my attack. Once this war breaks out, it will definitely It won’t be over in a short time, and without these crystals, how long can your powerful dragon army last?”
