Following the defeat of Midel, the "Azorean Elf Incident", which had disturbed the ancient woods for several years, finally came to an end.

But for the elves, it seems that everything has not changed, but in fact everything has changed.

In the past, the closed and self-sufficient settlement model of scattered and independent governance has been quietly shattered; even if the Elders in each settlement are not happy anymore, they have to nominate their own representatives and let "ancient "Wood forest elves" become a whole, otherwise it would be impossible to have equal conversations with "huge monsters" like the Empire or the Kingdom of Azores.

Intentionally or unintentionally, the elves scattered throughout the forest in the past are gradually moving towards a unified whole through cultural closeness and bloodline connections, and are closely united.

Whether it was accidentally or deliberately, the idea of ​​"convergence and unification" brought by Middle from the Azores kingdom is making the elves of the ancient wood forest ignorant and moving towards an independent country. path of.

Even in the past hundred years, the elves have established a third-class system of Elder, war dancers, and settlements, and they have already possessed the most basic framework of a "country".

Foreign influence, internal demand, war with ogre...One day, a powerful elven kingdom hidden in the forest will rise strongly in the western part of the empire, and it will no longer be ignored by the empire.

Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for the empire is still difficult to say; only one thing Loren can be sure of is that once this "national process" begins, it will never stop, only in its Influence them as much as possible in the development process.

But for Loren, this matter is definitely an attractive spectacle-because once they move on the path of unified development, the elves will be impossible if they want to be isolated in the forest, and they will definitely establish with the outside world. The most "peaceful" connection is naturally all kinds of trade.

Although Byrne and the ancient wood forest are separated by Aleman and Lotaire, the distance is cost and wealth for merchants; if used properly, Loren can use Byrne’s influence Expansion to the western part of the empire through Lothar—that is, Ruben Fried—and in turn influence the east and elevate the status of the south.

In this way, Byrne no longer confines his influence to the south, but a "continent-level" Zhou State with "international influence" and mastering the "imperial foreign trade and national development strategy" , No longer need to succumb to the two big Sacraments of East and West.

Establishing an alliance with Lothair can also disperse the pressure brought by the empire-Crown Prince Connold-to separate a powerful Duchy from his power; even if he cannot join himself, At least it can remain neutral.

Even Loren also envisioned that through the trade route, a group of ancient wood forest war dancers could be hired to join Byrne's military system as battlefield scouts and assault light infantry.

In this way, Byrne's army can be divided into heavy cavalry based on the Byrne Knight system, hussar based on the Boye style, and long spear phalanx based on the enlistment of civilians. ;

The dwarven-based extremely heavy battle halberd array, the wizard tower system and professional crossbowmen-based long-range support and logistics, and the Spirit Physique-based frontline reconnaissance and sweeping ambush light infantry.

This kind of war system includes the traditional levying militia and the Knight system, as well as professional mercenaries and free militias in the tribe.

At worst, it’s okay to follow the example of Silver Helmet Mountain and set aside a forest in the Red Blood Castle count for them to build a settlement.

This kind of "one Zhou State, multiple systems in parallel" with the Torino family as the core, the Thirteen Byrne as the main body, the Chamber of Commerce union system as the expansion, and a mixture of multiple polities and races. The system will become an increasingly powerful driving force for Byrne.

He has thought about the name, and the name of this system is called...

"You are going?!"

Outside the Wuyueting chairperson's house , The unbelievable black hair wizard stared wide-eyed looking at Luca in front of him, his expression is so unexpected and unexpected: "Why?"

"It’s not that we are going, but the ancient wood forest. The decision made by the elves together is the second "Expedition Hunting" after two hundred and thirty years." The middle-aged elves looked indifferent, as if they had expected Loren to be surprised a long time ago:

"The goal at this time is the southern forest-we want to wipe out all the ogre entrenched in the ancient wood forest and rebuild all the southern settlements!"

"A few years ago, you captured the Evernight Forest and killed The Evil God Mezka died in the forest; since then, the ogre group of dragons has been scattered throughout the southern forest without a leader; the Elders believe that now is the best time to counterattack the south and regain the homeland."

Loren did not speak. , Just looked at him silently.

"Naturally, it can only be achieved by gathering war dancers from all the settlements." Luca continued: "And in order to rebuild those settlements and not be re-occupied by ogre, it is necessary to mobilize other settlements to the south. Migration works."

"Therefore, headed by Wuyueting in the north, and barren forest in the west, all will migrate south, crossing the wall of trees, and regaining our land in the forests of the south. Kill our enemies, rebuild our homeland, and completely revive the homeland two hundred and thirty years ago."

The middle-aged elf sighed: "Such a large-scale expedition is naturally impossible—nothing is happening at all— —Telling you is also to inform the empire in advance, so that you can be prepared; apart from this, I hope that the duke and empire of Lotaire can provide some help by then, especially iron and supplies; the spirits will definitely thank us in our way You guys!"

Looking at Luca who looked a little embarrassed, the black hair wizard finally spoke.

"So...this is how you are grateful?" Loren asked in a low voice, staring at him: "Abandon your home and migrate collectively-if you stay away, you can't be guilty on either side." "

Luca took a deep look at Loren: "You are very smart, so I don't think I need to explain anything."

black hair wizard startled, slightly nodded.

Yes, this choice is the most helpless choice for the ancient wood forest.

They abandoned the ties of blood relatives and concluded peace with the empire; but this does not mean that the elves really trust the empire, but they are forced to do so by the reality.

No matter which side you choose, it means going to war with the other side...The messenger died tragically, no matter what the reason, the Xiong Yingwang of Azores will not accept this result; replacing it with Loren himself also Impossible to accept, it will definitely return in a swirl of dust.

Of course, the elves of the ancient wood forest are not willing to fight with their blood relatives, so for them they migrated south to avoid the open strife and veiled struggle between the Azores kingdom and the empire, Even if it insists on the promise of "peace" to the empire.

"All the elves?" Loren still refused to give up.

"This is the common decision of all Elders, that is, the decision of the ancient wood forest." Luca said solemnly: "Of course, compliance is still voluntary; as far as I know, there are some western ones. The war dancers and the young elves of the Wuyue Court decided to stay here."

"Apart from this, only the elves of the Morning Star Forest will leave part-responsible for communicating with your empire, using the forest The special products in China exchange the necessities for the south migration."

The middle-aged elf smiled: "She will stay."

Loren eyebrows raised.

"I... don't quite understand what you mean."

"She quarreled with me several times and wanted to join this'big hunt' even if it was just a normal war dance Or, ordinary elf warriors are just fine... I rejected them.” Luca paused, and said softly: “The rear of the elf still needs to be guarded by good enough war dancers.”

" , Although she has never spoken, I can see and hear clearly." Luca's expression is very meaningful:

"Liya...she never forgot about you."

The black hair wizard can only keep a polite smile.

The middle-aged elf sighed: "If I can, I originally planned to keep it by myself, but the Nanzheng matter is very important. I'm impossible to rest assured; I can only leave Liya in the Morning Star Forest."

"She is young and vigorous, pure and really strong, but she is very vigilant-the most important thing is to stay behind, and you will be better when dealing with the ancient wood forest." Luca smiled. looked towards Loren :

"I have found out since the road of Fog Moon Court, you have been trying to bypass the empire, borrowing your friendship with Deep Limburg count, the future Duke of Lotaire, and The ancient wood forest established a relationship, right?"

Loren's smile became a little awkward.

"Whether you want to do business with the ancient wood forest, or... the word you said is... Flicker? Let the young and energetic war dancers fight for you, I will I believe you will at least not deliberately entrap the ancient wood forest."

The gentle Luca did not notice the flash of surprise in Loren's eyes, and his expression was very sincere: "And Liya...whatever you want. What to do, no matter what she says, I know she won’t refuse you."

Loren’s expression became more and more unnatural: "Uh... Luca, I think you’re probably misunderstanding What's wrong; really, I'm not married yet, um, and Liya and I are really just pure old comrades-in-arms..."

The middle-aged elf raised his hand and interrupted him silently.

"Loren, help me... and Liya."

There was a little pleading in Luca's eyes: "I know this might make you very embarrassed, but The imperial people I can absolutely trust are you and Ain."

"Although I don't know what the Emperor's majesty thinks, what he wants from the elves is definitely more than peace, right? Ok...If he wants this forest, we can give up some; we will not participate in your dispute with the Azores, we will go south to fight ogre, as you wish."

"But don't let the elves of the ancient wood forest fall victim to your conflicts and disputes; I only hope you can do your best to protect Liya and Morningstar Forest... There is only one request."

" One, I mean in case, the war really spreads to the ancient wood forest..."

"I will do my best to use all the resources I have to move the entire Morningstar Forest settlement to Byrne duchy-there is the south. Unless half of the empire falls, it is absolutely safe."

Loren stepped forward, gritted his teeth and took a deep breath: "But I don't guarantee that she will listen to me. , I can only say... it’s voluntarily."

"She will listen, she will definitely." Smiling Luca exclaimed, as if finally relieved: "As long as you personally persuade , She must listen."

Looking at the middle-aged elf's "Tuogu" expression, Loren really didn't know what to say.

Relaxed, Luca finally left contentedly, completely relieved; Peter Fasar, who had been waiting around the corner, finally walked out quietly.

"Are you leaving too?"

"The mission is over, I have no reason to continue to'monitor' you." Peter Fasha chuckled lightly. , Looked at Loren jokingly: "Unlike a night watchman who has been'incompetent', I'm worried all day long."

Loren twitched his mouth.

Yes...speaking of which, up to now, his name is still on the roster of the night watchman, and according to the system, it is still Root Infinite's "subordinate".

Although the leader of the night watchman, he always thinks about how to let his "subordinate" die as soon as possible...

"Don't worry, Loren, your mission history is perfect this time. , Anyone is impossible to accuse you of—Of course, the rumors and talks of His Royal Highness there are many, but it’s irrelevant, and you probably won’t care." Peter laughed, and his expression became a little serious:

"I will report this information to His Majesty Eckhart II, hoping to arouse the vigilance of the Sky Vault... Our neighbor on the other side of the sea of ​​mist is not as'loving peace' as we imagined. That's it."

black hair wizard slightly nodded, and agrees by default.

Although he felt that the Emperor of the Sky Palace probably knew this a long time ago.

"In addition, I suggest that you should not delay too much time and return to the Scarlet Blood Castle as soon as possible." Peter continued, "Regardless of whether the Azorean Elf’s warning is a threat or not, in the empire, The Scarlet Blood Fort is still the safest place for you."

"Master Haringvan Assamah is right. You are the key to Byrne. The rise and fall of Duchy is in one body. ——Not to mention that the struggle between the crown prince and His Royal Highness Brandon is becoming more and more intense. You, the Duke of Byrne, must sit in the south to ensure the stability of the empire, not to mention..."

Peter, who just wanted to say something, suddenly looked embarrassed. His hesitation stopped.

Huh?

Not to mention...what?

The black hair wizard raised his eyes curiously.

"Uh...it's actually not my turn to tell you this, but...just the day before we entered the ancient wood forest, I received a letter from the little Yode of the Chamber of Commerce Come." Peter’s expression was a bit embarrassing:

"At the time, I considered that you are still facing the problem of the ancient wood forest, so I never told you, so now...I think you should go back as soon as possible. !"

Send it from Jr. Yod?

Pick frowned, Loren took the letter from Peter, who was a little embarrassed: "I guess... it's related to a bishop master?"

"Hmm."

"The problem is serious?"

"It should be...very serious."

Peter smiled awkwardly.
