Twenty Sided Dice

At dawn, the faint light cast by the morning sun on the Shield River drifted along with the current. The boat sailed past, crushed it into fish scales, and regrouped after the boat passed. This kind of beauty is suitable for relaxation, but since three days ago, Sir Greener has placed the elves here, brought tents and food for them, and sent troops to "protect" them.

The gathering of four hundred elves brought a lot of trouble. Their living habits are very different from those of humans, and the fat Sir Greener has a headache from the first day. He immediately found Lord Siegel, hoping for help and support. The young lord smiled slightly and sent Hunk and the Orcs from Stone Village.

Happiness in life is produced by comparison and difference. Compared to the rudeness and rudeness of the Orcs, the gentle and generous Ser Greene is easier to get along with. They suddenly feel that their current life is acceptable, at least they have a place to live, something to eat, and in a natural environment.

According to the Orcs, Heimland once had a group of human captives who were captured and thrown into the mines to do hard labor. Although the elf stubbornly thinks that he is just a "guest army", no one is a fool, and who is not worried that he will end up as a miner?

"I'll arrange for a bard to perform for everyone, as long as you don't leave this area." Sir Greener, always sweating profusely, was determined to continue playing the role of "good man". "Don't provoke that half-orc. His brain is full of muscles, but he has no manners. He has always been meticulous in implementing the lord's orders, and he will never show mercy to elves who don't listen to persuasion."

Although the current state cannot satisfy the elves, it is enough to guarantee life. Siegel allows the Elf Forest to send people to check the living conditions of these elves at any time, and can also "substitute people", as long as the total number of people remains unchanged. Siegel also had plans to separate the four hundred elves and place them in three or four camps to restrain each other.

All the generals supported this approach, because everyone knew very well that these hostages were actually a guarantee of peace. The specific work was all handed over to Mana, while Siegel followed Master Leah to the Elf Forest.

Two people ride on horses. Walking side by side, beside them is the army of elves. The entire army kept an oppressive silence, marching northeast almost non-stop every day.

Along the way they passed many deserted villages whose inhabitants had fled their homes long before the arrival of the elves. Or hide in the wilderness, or take refuge in the lord's castle. Among them, the hub castle and its affiliated outer cities are the most populated places, and are still under the siege of elves.

The unmanned farmland is about to become a field, but the structure of the ridge can still be vaguely seen. The scarecrow that was originally erected was crushed by the heavy snow in winter and is now lying in the grass. became a grouse's nest.

The elves have planted trees on the hillsides, pine, ash, and hawthorn, and they are doing well now. Many birds have settled on these trees and shared the joy of nature. Siegel stopped for a while beside a jujube tree, and saw the messy footprints under the tree, the size of which looked like children.

"Druid's magic is amazing, it can make the jujube tree bear fruit so quickly." Siegel said to Master Lia: "If it is used in farmland, wouldn't it be able to feed a lot of people?"

"After the population surges, more things will be consumed." Leah replied: "We found that there is a trend in human beings. Two acres of land can support one person thousands of years ago, but with the development of human beings, the population increases. Now five acres of land may not be able to support one person. It seems that with the passage of time, the human capacity to waste is faster than the production capacity.”

"I've never really thought about that," Siegel said. "But even if it were true, we'd figure out a solution."

"We never underestimate the innovation and development ability of human beings, but we don't know that when human beings come up with a solution, our elves are still there." Leah said: "This is what my father said, and he used you as an example. To illustrate the potential of human beings. Druids do not want to kill all human beings, they just want to create a natural paradise that can maintain the balance of the world."

"The Druid's idea is good, but the location is wrong." Siegel shook his head slightly. And said: "Like I experiment with magic, I will never do it in densely populated places. If the elves want to realize their ideas, why should they find an area without people? The new continent is very vast, and there is heaven and earth beyond the city walls and mountains. "

"Because the holy tree of the elves is here. How can we stay away?"

Siegel sighed, but said nothing. Although the elves tried their best to reproduce the ancient tree of war, they were not mentally prepared for war. According to the culture of elves, they are recreating the power of nature and improving the environment and ecology of the New World, but for human beings, this is a battle of life and death. Elves just drive away humans. The butcher's knife was not raised. The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel, because war can never tolerate beauty.

With four hundred elves as hostages, Heimland finally ushered in the long-awaited peace. According to Siegel's previous layout, taking back the original castle is only the first step. He wants to build a huge territory connecting the city walled mountains and the sea.

The Ghost Mist Swamp was originally a no-man's land, and wherever the flag of Heimland was planted, it was the land that belonged to Siegel. The cavalry attacked all the way, and stopped until they reached the sea. They stamped out a straight line with their hooves, and then workers followed and started building the road.

The road means the power to collect taxes and is the most basic and core part of the lord's power. Along both sides of the road, simple houses are built first, then fields are burned and seeds are sown. It is too late to take care of it this year, but it only needs to be able to grow crops, and this is the farmland of Heim's collar.

Entering Heimland means peace, there is land to farm, and there is work to earn money. The news spread throughout the south with the caravan, attracting many people all the way north to Heim to seek life. Those who hid in the wild mountains also left the sanctuary with harsh conditions and became the population of Heim Land.

When the Southern Alliance of Lords heard the news, many of the Lords spat out a mouthful of old blood. They were still entangled with the elves, advancing castle by castle. Dre Uther was negotiating with the elves, thinking that he could bring peace to the south first, but he did not expect that this honor would eventually be preempted by Siegel. The old man laughed, broke three cups, and resumed his conversation with the elf in high spirits.

With the precedent of Heim's lead, I believe that negotiations will become much easier. Dre's idea is very beautiful, but he is not Siegel after all, not a powerful mage lord. Nor was it Leah who negotiated with him. The elf's arrogance and the etiquette of refusing people thousands of miles away made him feel aggrieved. He wanted to give up several times, and he won the battle on the battlefield.

But he also knew in his heart that if his forces continued to be consumed. The gap with Heimland will widen. So he can only suppress his emotions again and again and continue to deal with the elves.

Different people have different troubles, and Siegel is not necessarily so relaxed. He followed the elven army to Isloris, and re-entered the country protected by the rune trees.

After being attacked by the men in black, the place obviously became heavily guarded. Mysterious magical energy permeates all around. Siegel, as a guest, wore the silver moon badge of the Temple of the Moon, but he still felt tremendous pressure. The entire elf forest began to be wary and deeply repelled from outsiders.

The elf army went to the forest and disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed - they had arrived home. Elf Leia and Siegel kept going all the way until they came under the holy tree. Here they dismounted and walked to the Druid Forest on foot.

Here, the pressure of the Elven Forest is even greater, and Siegel seems to be carrying a heavy burden. Difficulty walking on the ground. He was sweaty all over, his hands and feet were sore, and he did not fall down by relying on the support of the defensive staff. He observed the surroundings with his spiritual vision, and found that there was a magical enchantment mixed with elemental magic and holy power.

The Luna badge hanging on his chest glowed brightly, attracting the surrounding power to surge towards Siegel. The mage lord stretched out his hand, tore off the badge, and threw it to the ground, which made him feel much more relaxed.

"Do you dislike my badge so much?" With the sound of leaves rustling, an elf man in a silver robe walked out. He had pale blond hair and was handsome. The body is slender and powerful, the golden belt is decorated with a long sword, and the hilt is inlaid with seven gems of different colors.

"Master Saint!" Leah hurriedly knelt down.

Siegel looked at the "Saint" with his spiritual vision and found that his whole body was composed of powerful divine power. The structure is compact and indestructible. I saw him waving his hand, the pressure from the elf forest receded, and Siegel was able to move freely again.

He saluted the elf who just appeared with the etiquette of a wizard, and the other party nodded.

"Lea, Siegel, you two don't have to be restrained, I will accompany you for a while." There was an irresistible power in the words of the elf. The two followed involuntarily.

"I didn't want to meet you, Siegel, this is against the agreement we reached." The elf saint said: "It's just that things have changed, and there are external forces that want to interfere."

"Is it the master of Nekos?"

The elf saint nodded and said, "Including them, but not completely, but don't worry, we will stop them."

"Can you tell me what happened? What happened to Janet? Are those men in black believers in the murder god?"

"As a mage~www.readwn.com~ you are very impatient, you should see more with your own eyes and dig out the truth with your own hands."

Siegel rushed up with a quick stride, grabbed the elf saint's clothes, put the obsidian dagger on his throat, and looked at each other. "Do you think I'm looking at it with my eyes and digging with my hands?"

"Forget it!" The voice of the elf sage sounded from behind Siegel, and the mage noticed that he only grabbed a branch.

"Next time, don't make this kind of joke to the elf saint in the elf forest. You are flesh and blood, but I am not." He smiled, just like an adult who sees naughty children playing, at best, it is a bit funny, no What annoyance. "You stab me with that dagger, and you will only be blinded by the leaking light."

Master Leia hurriedly said: "Master Saint, he did not intend to blaspheme."

"What is blasphemy? Nothing. Siegel is not an elf, and what he does will not affect me." The elf saint said: "The action of the **** of murder has attracted the attention of the gods, but what he caused in the mortal world The chaos still needs to be quelled in the mortal world. As for your wife Janet, she was not among those who died that night." (To be continued.)
