mechanical court

The elf girl clasped the opponent's wrist tightly with her hands, her joints were pale and protruding, her fingertips curled up, as if she wanted to tear it away from her snow-white neck.Her chest expanded rapidly, and a panting sound came out of her throat, asking for help from the royal guards

"Catch... catch him!"

"..."

However, what responded to her was indeed a nervous gasp.

Everyone knew she was suffering, but no one planned to save her.

After asking for help in vain, Celia also understood their thoughts, but she didn't feel a trace of anger, only a touch of regret and relief—it might be a good deal for a few of her own family who wanted to live. .

Soon, the elf girl's red eyes, which were different from those of the same race, quickly became slack, the pupil ring expanded, and the inside showed a neon color, and the light gradually dimmed.At this moment, she saw many strange pictures like a revolving lantern, from the burning Gran's Forest, to the behemoth of the Sky Veil that lost its mind, to the Neupera full of walking corpses... Finally, the picture was frozen in an upside-down In the dark towers of the sky.

Immediately afterwards, she felt her field of vision gradually sinking into darkness, and her consciousness... lost weight.

One one one one one one one one

The war was over, and the elven kingdom fell silent, only the flames on the ruins of the building were peeling and burning, and the flickering light reflected the shadows of the corpses piled up one by one.

From a distance, the former pure land of elves looks more like a huge cemetery at this time.

The imperial army is like ants shuttling between the ruins. They accepted Kazan's order and are counting and escorting the elves' captives.

Inside the Elf King's Court, Elder Sam and a group of royal court guards chose to surrender unconditionally and sacrificed the fainted prophet Celia.

"...This woman almost detonated the Great Barrier and destroyed the entire elf kingdom? She has a lot of backbone!"

Looking at the unconscious elf girl, Kazan showed a bit of surprise, and then looked at Elder Sam and the others with approving eyes, "You guys did a good job! You saved the imperial army, and you also offered the prophet of the elf kingdom, which is enough to exchange Take your life and freedom back!"

"Dear Commander, do you mean we can leave?" Elder Sam asked ecstatically.

"Let's go!"

Kazan took out the pardon he had prepared, signed his name, and threw it to the elf elder who was eager to see through, "You can take thirty people away, and you can choose the specific number, but you must evacuate within a day, understand?"

"thank you very much."

Elder Sam put away the pardon as if he had found a treasure, and left the Elf King's Court with oil on his feet along with a few guards around him.

After seeing the Elf Elder's figure go away, a general walked up to Kazan and asked hesitantly

"My lord, do you really want to let them go?"

"Of course it's true." Kazan took it for granted.

"My lord, are you not afraid that they will harm the empire in the future?"

"The kingdom of the elves is over... How big a wave can a few exiles cause?" Kazan waved his hand indifferently, signaling the other party to stop saying, "Continue to count the prisoners of war. What you have to do now is to count the prisoners." How many prisoners of war did we take and house them?"

"Yes!"

The general stopped talking and stepped back quickly.

……

Ozma's private carriage at the Imperial Army camp.

"Congratulations, Your Excellency. The Imperial Army has won a complete victory, and the kingdom of elves has perished." Kalenz broke into the carriage with a bag of tea in his hands, and congratulated Ozma.

"What does that have to do with me? The elves are too weak... I don't even have a chance to make a move." Ozma sat on the sofa, looking down at a book called "Guide to Getting Started with Gem Technology", feeling bored Said in a muffled voice.

"Of course it does matter, no matter what you say, you are one of the main generals." Kalenz put the tea in front of him, and then sat down familiarly.

"It smells so good." Enticed by the aroma of tea, Ozma raised her head reluctantly, glanced at the tea bag, and then buried her head in the book again.

"It's a pity, everything went so smoothly." Kalenz suddenly sighed.

"Yes, it went very well." Ozma nodded.

"After the destruction of the Elven Kingdom, the prestige of you and General Kazan is probably known to everyone in the Perris Empire, right?" Seeing that he hadn't responded yet, Kalenz could only continue to induce.

"It's just a false name." Ozma replied lightly.

"Do you think it's a false name, and does the emperor also think it's a false name?" Kalenz asked meaningfully.

"Mr. Kalenz... what do you mean?" Ozma suddenly raised her head upon hearing this, and looked at him solemnly. "A kind reminder, or a malicious provocation? How should I understand it?"

"It doesn't matter, as long as you are vigilant." Kalenz laughed, then clapped his hands in fear, and said loudly, "Let's talk about happy things, your army has captured so many elf slaves, can you sell me a batch in advance? I will pay a high price."

"I really don't know what you're thinking."

Ozma shook his head and looked at him with a frown. "If you want to buy slaves, you can wait for the captives to be sent to the imperial capital and buy them from His Majesty the Emperor."

"Of course it's to swallow more goods."

Kalenz spread his hands and said helplessly, "I'm an innocent businessman. If I don't make arrangements in advance, how can I win over those people with background and history? If I don't eat the next batch at this time, wait until the prisoners of war arrive. Imperial capital, I'm afraid I don't even have to drink soup."

"This can be considered a reason." Ozma pretended to believe it, and then asked while reading the book, "So, how much do you want?"

"One hundred grams of gold and one elf, I will eat as much as you can get." Kalenz said seriously.

"..."

Ozma raised his head abruptly, his eyes were so round that they almost protruded from his sockets, and he looked at him with an expression of seeing an unknown creature, "Your Excellency, an innocent businessman, I want to know... is your hometown a golden star?" Huh? Otherwise, it would be hard for me to imagine how rich you are..."

"It does not matter."

Kalenz stood up, walked to him, and patted his shoulder lightly. "The important thing is that I can afford the money, and I can continue your knowledge about gem magic."

Chapter 65 Culture Invasion Arad

Regarding the fall of the kingdom of elves, apart from the Perus Empire, all major forces in the continent of Arad... including the Xu Zu, the Bantu, the Principality of Belmar, and the kingdom of the dark elves, generally have a sympathetic attitude. manner.

After all, the threat of the Perus Empire is like a thorn in the back, and no one can guarantee whether they will be the next elf kingdom, so it is inevitable to have a sad mentality.

And the reputation of the elves is still very good!

In the eyes of many people, the elves are rich in artists and philosophers, and they have a lot of research on dance, poetry, musical instruments, and sculpture, but they have no research on war.More importantly, the birth rate is low, depression is common, and there are episodes of seclusion.

To put it simply, it is harmless to humans and animals, and there is no threat to anyone—even if they are left there, they may be killed by low fertility.

Let me ask, such a weak person can be bullied... No!It's a kind and kind race, who wouldn't like it?

In the land of Arad, which is full of wolves, who doesn't want the neighboring countries to be as friendly as the elves?If everyone becomes as kind as the elves, wouldn't I be able to do whatever I want! ?

Isn't it a pity that such a moral benchmark has disappeared?

More importantly, the elves are still very good-looking, and when handsome men and beautiful women are unlucky, people can't help but feel pity.
