That's a fake elf

The Pegasus knights, who were sharpening their swords, obviously hated the mercenaries who were burning, killing and looting to the extreme. Therefore, after getting permission, they did not hesitate at all when cutting their swords, and soon there were dozens of them on the ground. head.

Faced with the threat of death, Fredericie suddenly burst out with a strong desire to survive and wanted to struggle to stand up, but the two female elf knights obviously would not give him this chance, and each of them kicked him in the knee. superior.

"Wait a minute, don't kill me, I have something important to tell your commander!"

Another head fell to the ground, and the blood sprayed on Fredericius's face, so frightened that he almost peed.

"If you have any last words, please tell me immediately?" The Pegasus knight in charge of supervising the execution snorted impatiently.

"I must meet your commander before I can say that this matter is very important and it is not your fault for delaying it." Looking at the silver knife raised high, Frederic said anxiously.

"Do you want to report it to Lady Inanna?"

"What important thing can a dying man do?"

"What if there is any important information?"

Seeing Friedrich's serious expression, the three female knights hesitated and began to whisper.

"Hey, what's your name and what's your position in this band of thieves?" asked a silver-haired female elf knight.

"My name is Frederic, and I am the leader of the Black Bull Mercenary Group. I am a knight with a title. According to convention, I am qualified to be..."

Fredrici, who thought he could use his knighthood in exchange for immunity, looked happy and struggled to stand up from the ground.

"Shut up, Bedbug, I didn't ask you to stand up. Kneel down. I will report to Lady Inanna and see what she will do with you."

The female elf who was supervising the execution kicked Fredrici in the face, causing a few of his teeth to fly out, but at this moment he could only smile with his face, for fear of being killed by a knife.

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

Looking at Li Ang who was treating the villagers, and the Moonlight Deer beside him who was jumping up and down to help carry the injured, Druid elder Cruz showed a pleased expression.

"Lee Ang!"

"Teacher Cruise."

"No need to salute, you can concentrate on treating the villagers."

Stopping Li Ang's salute, Cruise walked to an injured sword dancer and used "Touch of Nature".

"I didn't expect you to actually ask them to take action." Looking at the Pegasus knights who were cleaning up the battlefield, Li Ang had a hint of surprise on his face.

"I happened to be patrolling near Maidenpool when I received your message from the "Wind Crows", so I invited them to join us nearby. As a flying unit, it would only take them half a day to get here. You shouldn't be in danger alone. "

Although his disciple has been promoted to Arch Druid at a young age, Cruise is doubly caring, but he can't help but criticize him at this time.

"I was too far away from Maiden Fountain City at that time. If I had gone to Maiden Fountain City first, Lin Yu Village would have been completely turned into ruins. And if I am a great druid, the Earl may not take it seriously."

Looking at the dead bodies everywhere, Li Ang suddenly felt a trace of guilt in his heart. If he had been stronger or had an army around him, could he have saved more people.

"You underestimate your identity too much. If your father's name is reported, Count Inanna will not ignore it." Cruz shook his head.

"You know, I don't want to rely on him." Thinking of his father who sent him to a foreign country as a hostage, Li Ang's face darkened.

"It seems that you still have a deep prejudice against the Duke."

Looking at Li Ang with a resistant expression, Cruise immediately understood that even though several years had passed, Li Ang still had a deep prejudice against that person in his heart.

"What father in his right mind would go behind his wife's back and send his children to other countries as hostages?"

After hearing the teacher's words, Li Ang couldn't help but express his resentment, and his words were filled with disgust for the father.

"Alas, the Duke also has his own reasons. Fanasier is no different from other landlocked countries. The cultivated land area is simply not enough to feed millions of civilians."

"If they want to have enough to eat, civilians must go into the forest to hunt. Even if they offer the highest-level sacrifices to the gods every year in exchange for a good harvest, the number of animals will always be in short supply."

"You also know that the lords also regard the animals in their territories as private property. If you want to hunt, you must pay taxes. Many civilians have to wander around and become poachers in order to have enough to eat."

"Therefore, there is no other way to sign friendly agreements with other countries to obtain food and economic assistance and achieve a more stable environment in the country."

After glancing at Leon who seemed dissatisfied, Cruise knew that he didn't listen at all.

"Haha, then why not take back the fiefdoms of the noble lords and let the state send officials to manage them uniformly. If there is little cultivated land, then cut down the forest and open up fields. Even if it is to imitate the Griffin Kingdom, send pioneer lords to the Zhuode grassland in the north to seize new territory. That’s good too.”

After stretching his legs, which had become numb from squatting for a long time, Li Ang's eyes flashed with disdain.

"Leon! Most of what you said cannot be realized at all." Cruise said seriously.

"That's because the old man is used to stability and just wants to compromise." He turned his head and looked at the respected old man in front of him seriously. Li Ang did not flinch.

"Your approach is too radical. Fanathil is not a country like the Griffin Kingdom. If this country is governed according to your ideas, how can you guarantee that it will not perish?"

Staring at the stubborn disciple in front of him, Cruise asked.

"I'm just saying this. As long as my brother is still alive, I can't become a duke, and naturally these things can't be realized... No, teacher, why are you suddenly telling me this?"

Frowning slightly, Li Ang looked at the teacher with a puzzled expression.

"You may not be able to become a duke, but you can become a lord." Cruise said solemnly.

"Becoming a lord? You're kidding."

Li Ang chose to become a druid in the first place to avoid the conflict between his father and mother. He was unwilling to jump into the pit of fire again.

"Actually..."

"Elder Cruz, Lord Earl, please come over." A female elf knight hurried over and looked at the old Druid with respect and said.

"I'm going right now."

"Teacher, please deal with the business first, and leave this to me."

"Ugh."

Looking at Leon who was putting all his energy into treatment again, Cruise couldn't help but sigh.

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Are you saying that someone is smuggling siege crossbows?" Looking at the siege equipment that had been broken into pieces by Moonlight Deer, Cruz's expression was a little uncertain.

"Yes, the siege crossbow is a military weapon of Vastia. It caused us heavy casualties in our war with Hrest, so it is contraband in our Fanathil.

My city of Maidenpool has always guarded the border between Hrest and Fanathil. The product information of the caravans coming and going is all registered with me, and there is no record of the entry and exit of parts for the siege crossbow.

According to this guy, he transported these siege heavy crossbows from the sea. After being broken into parts, smugglers secretly transported them to Cuiting, and then were transported by poachers to Yongyue Forest for assembly. "

Pointing at Frederic who was kneeling on the ground without saying a word, Inanna said expressionlessly.

Being able to have the energy to transport the parts of the siege crossbow to Cuiting without anyone noticing was something that no ordinary person could do. Although Cruise had some vague guesses in his mind, he was not sure.

"Can I take him with me?" Cruise asked.

"You want to take him to Cuiting?" Inanna asked in confusion as she glanced at Cruz with some confusion.

"Yes, I have something I need to confirm."
