Chapter 158 Dragon Islands Change of Owners

Due to the separation of the city walls, the high elven nobles did not know that Imrik was still resisting with his soldiers in the city.

The mayor of Gravel Island, who led the entire cavalry, took the lead in reining in his horse and shouted loudly to the high elves behind him: "The main city has fallen, we are late."

The rest of the high elves naturally stopped in place when they saw the Nurgle demons on the city wall.

The mayor of Gravel Island seemed to hesitate for a moment and said: "Retreat, we alone will not be the opponent of these demons. We must first preserve our strength and join the large army. I think Lord Imric has already evacuated with the civilians."

The helpless high elves could only turn their horses and leave in the direction of Dragon Tooth Island. Although they lost a large area of ​​land, the high elves' maritime power did not suffer any loss.

The high elves can only rely on the fleet to sail to the Dragon Islands and migrate towards their last colony, Gravel Bay.

Father Kurgas stood on the city wall and watched the demons wandering around the streets of the town. A large amount of corruption began to spread throughout the town, but he did not feel much pleasure. He originally wanted to bring all these high elves into his loving father's care. Embrace it and make it part of your army.

But these high elves fled too cleanly. Most of the houses were empty, and the only ones left behind were some elderly people with disabilities or limited mobility.

Father Kugas stirred the maggots in his mouth and spat out more than a dozen maggots at a high elf corpse that fell on the city wall. When encountering the fresh flesh and blood of the maggots, they seemed to have lifted some restrictions and began to chat happily. They gnawed on the corpse, and soon the maggots, which were originally only the size of a little finger, had eaten themselves into a size as large as a forearm.

The entire body of the high elf, even the bones, were eaten clean by the maggots. The maggots that had lost their food began to squirm on the ground, crawling towards other corpses. Under the frenzied eating, the maggots as big as forearms soon grew to be meters long. , and the body began to squirm continuously and turn black.

As the sound of fighting in the city became smaller and smaller, the maggots also completed their transformation. A dozen rot flies emerged from the maggots and flew to the high altitude, and lay on each corpse to lay eggs.

After knowing that he couldn't do anything, Imrik no longer forced it, and began to evacuate along the direction of the civilian retreat with a few soldiers. At the same time, the high elf nobles also encountered the high elf army crossing the stone road under the sea. After negotiations, they all turned around and headed towards the warships that boarded the Dragon Islands Fleet in batches from Dragon Tooth Island.

Under the transportation of the Dragon Islands Navy, they directly bypassed the Fear Island and sailed towards the gravel bay.

Time flies and the past week has passed. The Nurgle demons have made no other movements since they captured the entire Dragon Islands. However, this is not good news for the high elves who retreated to Gravel Bay. After a week of rectification, Imri Ke barely maintained the situation.

But what worries the high elves is that Gravel Bay does not have too much food to feed the high elf soldiers and civilians. For this reason, Imric can only forcibly collect the food from the civilians and control the food through unified distribution. consumption.

But this is still a drop in the bucket. After the First World War, the troops did not suffer much losses. The total number of high elven civilians and soldiers was nearly 5, and there were 400 various warships and merchant ships.

In order to solve the food crisis, Imric had to write to other high elven colonies again, hoping to get help.

However, when Imrik was at a loss, human traders who had fled with the civilians approached Imrik and told him that they could bring him food.

For this reason, Imric personally met with these merchants. In the port castle of Gravel Bay, there was a fairly gorgeous hall with a long dining table. The dining table was covered with white cotton cloth, and even the ground was covered with it. There was a red carpet and candles illuminated the whole room brilliantly.

Although food was in short supply, the big shots couldn't treat themselves badly. All kinds of freshly baked bread and sausages, as well as the wine and large pieces of stew, made the human businessmen who had not eaten anything serious for several days gobble them up.

Sitting next to Imrik was an old human man with a goatee. Compared to the knives and forks used by others, the old human man took out a delicate wooden box and took out a pair of chopsticks. Slowly holding the stewed meat looks very elegant.

Naturally, these human merchants were accompanied by some high elf nobles. After seeing that these merchants were vaguely headed by Old Man Bai, Michaela stood up from her seat, personally served Old Man Bai a glass of wine and said: "From Friends of Cathay, the tense war has caused you to suffer."

Compared to Imrik, Mayor Michaela is better at dealing with these cunning human merchants. After apologizing, Michaela spoke again: "You must know that the entire Gravel Bay is in urgent need of food. If you have anything, friends Don’t talk about the solution.”

Although he was very dissatisfied with the high elves' understatement of apology, Old Man Bai knew that such an attitude was already a polite expression of the high elves, so he wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Bai is quite wealthy in Cathay. , your Gravel Bay was originally built for trade with our Cathay Empire, the lord can just buy grain directly from Cathay."

It is not that Imric has not considered buying food from Cathay, but even the goods from the Dragon Islands are mostly left on the island. Gravel Bay is a trading port with a poor population and there is no way to buy goods. To feed 5 people.

Michaela naturally heard the deep meaning of the old man's words. Compared with the merchants of the Empire and Bretonnia, the Cathay merchants always had something to say when they spoke. Michaela smiled and said: "Hahahaha, thank you my friend. If you are willing to donate generously to provide us with food, just ask us for any reward you want, and we will not refuse.”

Old Man Bai was very satisfied with Michaela's answer. This was the purpose of exposing his wealthy family to the high elves just now. Old Man Bai touched his beard, took out his map again from his arms and said: " You high elves in the north are the Kingdom of Nubula, and the Kingdom of Nubula almost blocks a large number of decent merchants from doing business with you. I hope you can provide 5 sets of elven weapons and armor, and we will open up the Kingdom of Nubula and the gravel. and build a city there. I also hope to establish diplomatic relations with Lord Imrik. Of course, before that you have to escort me and my merchant friends back to Cathay. If Lord Imrik agrees, we will After returning to Cathay, I will prepare food as quickly as possible, and I promise to provide Lord Imrik with enough food to feed [-] people for five years."
