This season is the most beautiful season in Grand Forest, and it is also the most refreshing season. The warm wind carries the aroma of various plants and flowers, and sends it to the border of the Perus Empire together with the moist water vapor in the forest.

However, on the outskirts of Gran's Forest, there is a completely different scene.

Thick smoke and dust filled the road, and off-road vehicles painted with green camouflage were lined up in a long line, driving towards Grand Forest continuously.Cavalry and motorcycle units drove on both sides of the armored vehicle flow, protecting the infantry regiment inside the armored vehicle, followed by engineers, artillery corps, and finally the mighty tank division.

The Perus Empire invested one-third of its army in this war, and the troops were divided into four groups, preparing to attack the elf kingdom along the major waterways.

As the chief general, Kazan was riding a tank he was not familiar with at the moment, singing songs while blowing on the air conditioner, marching into Gran's Forest with the army with great fighting spirit.

You ask why he is so relaxed?

Because the strength of the enemy and ourselves is too great, as long as the imperial army protects the supply line, the kingdom of elves will undoubtedly be defeated.In a war that can be won by flat pushing, what strategy is there to play?Only by using the weak to overcome the strong can we play tricks, and it is enough to have enough soldiers and food to face the front.

Kazan's mentality at this time is also the mentality of the top leaders of the Prussian Empire, and even the entire army.

It comes from the confidence in the Perus Empire, from the growing military strength of the Perus Empire, and from the large-scale awakening of the descendants of gold.

As we all know, the Perus Empire is the most powerful human country in the Arad continent, and it is also the country with the largest population.And human beings are the race with the densest golden blood, so the golden descendants under the Perus Empire are in a crushing situation compared with the surrounding forces.

Not only that, the Perus Empire is also the country that receives the most assistance from foreign forces, and now has its own equipment production line, capable of large-scale production of industrial products including arms.Although the grade is still very low, compared to the kingdom of elves, it is already another level of strength.

The population, technology, and organization are all crushed. What reason is there to lose in the war?

Unless the kingdom of elves has strong foreign aid.

It's a pity... Although the Far East Alliance and the Kashni Federation fight back and forth on weekdays, they are both people-oriented human supremacism.It is impossible to allow the Perus Empire not to win over, but to support a foreign power that has no awakened ones.

From the very beginning of this war, it was doomed that the kingdom of the elves must perish. The weak resistance of the elves can only delay the time of victory at best.

……

At this time, Kalenz was sitting in the truck accompanying the army, drinking tea and chatting with a handsome and clean brown-haired young man in silver chain armor and long hair shawl.

On the surface, this brown-haired young man has the temperament of an artist, he looks like a writer or a painter, but in fact he is the archmage accompanying the army——Ozma, who Xiaoxi believes has unlimited potential.

"Mr. Karenz, your tea is delicious." Ozma put down the celadon teacup and said with a smile, "As for your origin, no one cares. There are too many people outside the empire, and we don't have time to talk to you." A distinction. So we only care about how much benefit you can give the empire... it is best to see and touch the benefits."

"Of course I come here with sincerity."

Kalenz stroked the celadon cup in his hand, and said with a smile: "However, I am different from other outsiders. I come here only to seek money, and I don't care about other things."

"Ask for money? What do you have, what do you want?" Ozma didn't seem to expect him to say that, and was obviously taken aback.

"It's just for business. I want to invest in building some factories and shops in Arad to make profits. Like now, I want to buy some elf slaves from you. The more the better." Kalenz said Putting on the face of a greedy capitalist, he said very unconscionably:

"You have to know that this kind of race that resembles humans but is not human, and is not protected by human rights, is the best-selling luxury."

"Oh...you are here for the elves." Ozma nodded dubiously, and looked at Kalenz with a little more contempt.

This kind of contempt is the contempt for black-hearted businessmen, not the contempt for the slave trade; because in the Perus Empire, the slave trade against foreign races is permitted, so he does not think it is a crime.

"If the elves take captives, how many do you want this time... You can just go to General Kazan directly. As long as you are willing to spend money, you can even buy the elf queen." Ozma decided to Continue to explore.

"No, no, no, if I go to General Kazan, it's tantamount to cooperating with the Peruvian Empire." Kalenz looked into Ozma's eyes and said unhurriedly: "What I want is not to cooperate with the authorities, I want to work with you, Mr. Ozma."

"I have received similar invitations more than once." Ozma shook his head, obviously lacking interest.

"It's different, they can't give you what you want, but I can." Having said that, Kalenz took out the gem of life that Ivan gave him, held it firmly in his hand, and slowly spread it out in front of the other party : "Your Excellency Ozma is an archmage, can you help me identify this item."

"This...this is!?"

The moment he saw the life gem, Ozma's eyes suddenly changed, as if his eyes were stuck by the gem, and he could no longer move away:

"It's amazing! Such a pure and vast energy source can be solidified in the crystal in an extremely stable way... Not only that, just bathing in its light, I can feel that every cell in my body is Cheers. A priceless treasure! This is definitely a priceless treasure! If I can embed this gem on the staff, I can use all kinds of forbidden techniques without any scruples, without worrying about backlash!"

"Do you... want it?" Kalenz deliberately and slowly retracted the gem, and asked in a low voice.

"If you are willing to part with me, I am willing to give all my property... No, no, I ask you to ask! No matter what you ask, I will satisfy you!" Ozma said enthusiastically.

"I won't give you gems...but..."

Kalenz first rejected his purchase request, and then showed a thoughtful look, which whetted Ozma's appetite, and when he was almost crazy, he said: "I can give you the method of making gems, and the method of making gems." Raw materials...With the talent of Your Excellency Ozma, I will definitely be able to learn the secrets of it."

"That's even better!"

Ozma almost jumped up in the car, and then realized that she had lost her composure, and quickly covered her forehead with her hand, forcing herself to calm down:

"Then what's the price? What's the price?"

"The price is that His Excellency Ozma can only cooperate with me." Karenz made a very simple request.

The reason why he set the requirement so low was because he knew that some things should not be rushed, rather than haggling with Ozma now.It's better to wait for him to get in touch with gem technology, and suddenly get stuck when he can't stop studying it. At this time, add some additional conditions, the effect will definitely be better.Anyway, gemstone technology is only owned by the Far East Alliance, and the secrecy is very well done, and the Kashni Federation has no similar bargaining chips at all.

"Only with you, or only with the forces behind you?" Ozma looked at him with scrutiny and asked coldly.

"Is it important?" Karenz raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, and said with emphasis: "I can guarantee that this is an exclusive technology, and no one can give it to you except me."

"In this case... I can only make you my friend." Ozma sighed in her heart, unable to resist the temptation of gems after all, and extended the hand of friendship to Kalenz.

"Happy cooperation." Kalenz happily held the right hand he handed over, and said with full sincerity: "I will prove that your choice is not wrong."

In the depths of Gran's Forest, the kingdom of elves.

In this country, there is an endless barrier of light suspended in the sky, and the sun, moon and stars are arranged on the surface of the barrier, like a mirror embedded in the sky.Inside the mirror, countless stars revolve around the sun and the moon, forming a precise halo, pulling each other and slowly rotating. This is the great barrier that maintains the existence of the elf kingdom.

Below the enchantment, mountains surrounded rivers and lakes, forming a green barrier with forests.

The terrain of the elves' country is winding and undulating. Four majestic and steep mountains spread from Gran's Forest, surrounding each other to form a huge basin, blocking countless foreign enemies for the elves and blocking their external communication channels.

In this land lined with giant trees, there are large and small cities scattered across the stars, and the most magnificent city stands on top of a giant tree!

At the top of this huge tree with an altitude of several thousand meters, the Elven Palace is covered under the canopy of layers of trees, and there is an open square in front of it; The white corridors of Taoism hide each other into a maze-like terrain.

At the top of the giant tree stood silver and white spiers, straight into the sky.They are all shining with metallic luster, and the rich silver-white light flickers on and off, as if there is life flowing.The minaret in the center is close to the great enchantment of the sky, and mysterious symbols are constantly spewing out in all directions, forming a gorgeous belt of light, spinning and flying around the palace.

And on the watchtower of a spire, a beautiful elf girl stands, overlooking the distant forest from the highest point.

The girl's eyes seemed to be a pair of magnificent red crystals, her silver-gray ponytail hung down to her neck, and her oblique bangs were combed back to her ears; Worryingly twisted out a delicate pimple.The corners of her eyes are round, as if smiling at any time, and the straight, slender bridge of the nose gives people a sense of strength, but at this moment, her face is full of lingering worries.

The elf girl was wearing a light green dress, and the skirt was gathered downwards to form a flare.Hands folded on the crinoline, standing there silently, watching the army array gradually expanding from the distance of the forest - the misty shade sets off such beauty, like the melancholy rose in the forest.

As she watched, the battle began.

Accompanied by the loud and clear command number, the imperial artillery lined up in arrays, bombarding the fortress built by the elves relying on the mountain road.

Under the saturation attack, the indestructible fortress in the eyes of the elves quickly collapsed, and the defenders who tried to resist were wiped out by artillery fire.The roar of the crawler roared in the depths of the forest, and countless tanks were like daggers, crossing the ruins of the fortress, and continuously penetrated into the hinterland of the elf kingdom, boundless, like a tide.Tens of thousands of infantry armored vehicles, trucks, mages hidden in infantry delivery trucks, and powerful warriors followed closely behind...
