After the two sides exchanged news, the wood elves boarded the ship to Rouen at the dock.

Chapter 46 The Elves of Sherwood

Two days later.

On the slightly swaying deck, the silver-clad city of Rouen appeared in Rispan's eyes.

The towering Gothic spire of Rouen Cathedral can be seen everywhere.

In addition to this magnificent religious building, there are three large monasteries, 40 convents, and more than [-] parish churches in the city.

Every mass time, the bells rang out one after another throughout the city, making people seem to be bathed in the blessings of God.

The city was protected by a five-mile-long wall with sixty towers and, in addition, six outer forts.Back then, even a warlike monarch like Henry V exhausted his strength to break through the city.

The wood elves did not believe that the Seris could take down this heavily fortified city on their own.

His title of Count of Rouen will probably remain in name all his life.

The city of Rouen is on the Seine River on one side, and busy cargo ships shuttle on the river, transporting a steady stream of goods in and out.

The residence of the Bishop of Beauvin is the Abbey of Saint-Ouenciu.When the wood elves arrived at the Gothic building to meet the bishop, the latter was looking up at the stained glass in the windows, lost in thought.

"Long time no see, Bishop." The wood elf saluted.

"Ah, Rispan." Bishop Bowen nodded to the wood elves. "The responsibility for your capture is entirely on me. No one expected that the Seris would be able to defeat Ian Gaskill's wool. Soldiers, and the Garter Knights you lead."

The wood elves did not speak.

Although it is excusable, failure is failure, and no subtle words can change the fact that he was imprisoned in Chinon for nearly a month.

"Tomorrow, you and I will return to London on the Royal Seven Holy Ships. You are going to notify your family to raise ransom, and I will be like a beggar, persuading nobles and businessmen to donate money for the war."

"Do you want to attack the French in winter?" The wood elf froze in his heart.

In the winter truce when the celestial and spheres meet, each dealing with threats from other worlds is a tacit understanding formed by the nobles of European countries in the battle for hundreds of years.

Respin did not expect that Bishop Beauvin was planning a winter offensive.

Has the war situation reached this urgency?

Bishop Beauvin said in a deep voice: "This is the last chance. If France and Burgundy make peace, England will be alone on the mainland. If we completely return to the British Isles, England will become a second-rate country that cannot affect the overall situation of Europe. At that time, your dream of the Sherwood elves to establish an independent country will also be completely shattered."

This elf of Sherwood Forest came to this world at the meeting of the celestial spheres in 1187.

That year, the Crusades were in full swing, and the Holy Land of Blood and Sand was in full swing.

Saladin, Baldwin IV, Richard the Lionheart, Philip II of France, Holy Roman Emperor "Red Beard" Barbarossa...

Heroes, you will sing and I will come on stage, exuding your own brilliance in this great era.

The elves reached an agreement with the Lionheart King to teach their magic, martial arts, and weapon-making techniques to England.The latter gave Sherwood Forest to the elves to settle and give them autonomy.Even, the Lionheart King also promised to give the land of Egypt to the elves, so that they can establish their own country.

The valiant and warlike king was also convinced that he would keep his promise, and he led the crusaders to the east to fight with Saladin.

But in the end, he failed to retake the Holy City, let alone take down Egypt.

Then came the time of the Hundred Years War.

During the period, the previous British kings also promised that as long as the elves helped the Gorse family to win the title of king of France, they would give the Grandoc region of southern France to the elves.

The dream of founding a nation was at hand, and the elves gave England their full support.They provided the king with longbows made of elven technology and trained archers for the king.Some elves also joined the army themselves and served as officers.

This is the origin of the famous English longbow troops.

In addition, the magical wooden stakes made by elves are also an important military material for the English Longbow Army.

Before the battle, this kind of stake is inserted into the ground, and it will quickly take root and grow, forming an anti-cavalry barrier.

These are the key to the English army's repeated victory over the French.

Bishop Beauvin's words made the historical entanglement between the Sherwood elves and England constantly appear in Rispan's mind.If it wasn't for his reputation as a noble, he had to complete the task of raising ransoms, I'm afraid he would take the initiative to ask to participate in this winter's attack at this time.

The bishop seemed to see the wood elf's thoughts, and waved him to leave: "Go back to your own private affairs. This time it is a frontal battle, and you rogue can't play a big role."

After Rispan left, Bishop Beauvin raised his low eyelids and glanced at the magnificent and solemn statue of the God of God, the Creator, and the head of the Seven Saints - Ottori, and whispered to himself: "Please guide you. Lost Lamb, O Creator! Please give me confidence and tell me that my decision is the right one for a higher level of good!"

……

The next day, Bishop of Beauvin and Reispin left Rouen on board the navy flagship Royal Seven Saints with a displacement of nearly 1000 tons.

Although he didn't know how to sail, the Wood Elves had a feeling that the destination of this giant ship was not London.

In a sea area that deviates from the usual route, the Royal Seven Saints is moored and seems to be quietly waiting for someone to come.

The wood elf felt that something was wrong and wanted to ask Bishop Bowen, but was stopped by two guards, and was finally confined in his room.

As a professional, although he could easily deal with the two guards, he finally made a rational decision to stay in the room.

I don't know how long it took, the low and majestic horn sounded, and there was a commotion outside.

"Oh, the Seven Sages are above, I actually saw the Vikings that I have only seen on the murals!"

"Their dragon head ship is so fast!"

"Look, the big winged snake on the sail is actually glowing."

The sailors talked, and the wood elf finally cut a hole in the wood wall with a dagger.

After the mysterious guests boarded the ship, the wood elves saw their appearance through the hole.

Indeed, as the sailor put it, no different from the Vikings in the history books of frescoes.But in addition to the characteristics of being strong, rugged, and martial, the Vikings who were talking with Bishop Beauvin gave the wood elves another feeling.

Although Bishop Beauvin, a high-ranking cleric, could not detect it, his intuition honed by living in the wilderness and forests for many years told Respan that these Vikings had a deeply hidden bloodthirsty instinct. and the desire to kill.

Chapter 47 Robin Hood

With vision far better than that of humans, Respahn glimpsed the emblem on the Vikings—the giant snake with wings on its back.

"That's... the Feathered Serpent God among the Evil Sun Gods!" The wood elf was horrified, his pupils shrank, and he could barely stand.

He stumbled and fell to the ground, gasping for breath, an unstoppable primitive fear that emerged from the depths of his genes.

The gods of the evil sun are the gods that flourished in the fourth era in the original Andurui world of elves.

Because the gods of this line mainly use the sun as a totem, and like to sacrifice alive, blood, and strife and slaughter everywhere, they are called "Gods of Evil Yang".

They are the culprits that plunged the prosperous Andurian world into endless wars, directly triggering the "Battle of Twilight" that ended the Fourth Era.

After the turbulent and miserable Fifth Era in the world of Anjou, the confluence of the celestial spheres and other disasters occurred frequently, and the once mighty kingdom fell apart like the end of the world.The Sherwood elves, for the survival of the tribe, also left their homeland and arrived on Earth during this period.

Rispan did not expect that the gods of the evil sun actually came to the "new world" of the earth.

He forced himself to remain calm, as if nothing had happened.

On the deck, the meeting between Bishop Beauvin and the Viking chief finally ended.The horn sounded like the roar of the ancient beast.Pirate warriors from the North returned to their longships and set sail away.

The wood elves are free again.

But Bishop Beauvin seemed in no mood to explain all this to him.On the journey back to London, the cardinal was always gloomy and preoccupied.

Arriving in London, the wood elves handed the letters of the two Garter knights to their families, and galloped north.

Sherwood Forest in Nottinghamshire is now overgrown with silver-leaf oaks brought by elves from the otherworld.This tree turns the entire forest into a huge green fortress, which can resist any incoming enemy, and is also an excellent material for making weapons and ships. It is an important trade material for the elves of Sherwood.

After entering the forest, a ranger found Respan.

"Captain, welcome back. May nature embrace you forever."

"May nature embrace you forever." Rispan drew an oak leaf out of thin air in front of him and said, "Is the patriarch there? I want to see him immediately."

"The patriarch is in the hall of the moon. It's winter, and his body is a little weak. Alas, after all, the age has come. Even if we live far longer than humans, we have to face irreversible aging."

Seeing the sad look on the ranger's face, Respahn couldn't help but sigh.

He bid farewell to the ranger who served as a scout and moved on, finally arriving at a village nestled deep in the forest, as if at one with the environment.

This is the main settlement of the Sherwood elves.

Along the way, some people greeted him with the surprised expression of "seeing relatives who have been fighting for many years suddenly returning home".

However, Respan, who had something in his heart, just responded in a hurry, and didn't have time to stay to greet him.

Walking into the Hall of the Moon, the only stone building in the entire Sherwood Forest, located in the center of the village, Respan finally met Oron Nightstar, the leader of the Sherwood elves.

The hero who once led the tribe to settle on the earth from the soon-to-be-collapsed world of Andori is now 630 years old.

The blood composition of the Sherwood elves is very complex, including wild elves, wood elves, moon elves, and even a small amount of sun elves.

And all kinds of elves mixed with each other.To this day, with the exception of the Moon Elf Nightstar Family, which has always been the leader of the tribe, it has maintained a pure bloodline, and almost every Sherwood elves are half-bloods.

Respan himself is only one-eighth of the moon elf blood, but he was given the surname "Night Star" because of his great achievements in the past.

The old patriarch Oron Yexing in front of him was both an elder and a master to him.

"Ah, Rispan, you must leave the things of England and return to Sherwood. There must be something urgent." Oron invited the wood elf to sit down and poured him a green drink.

"Kaluta juice, I haven't tasted it in a long time."

The wood elf drank the liquid in the cup, closed his eyes, and fully felt the nature and fragrance diffused in his mouth.Afterwards, he breathed a sigh of relief, and began with the experience of following the Bishop of Beauvin to Dijon.

After emphasizing what he had seen on the Royal Seven Sacred Numbers, Rispan stopped.

Oron Nightstar was lost in thought.

The whole hall fell into a strange silence, except for the occasional dead leaves that rolled outside the window, reminding Respan that the scene in front of him was not controlled by the time-stop spell.

After an unknown time, the old man said: "It seems that we should not put all our chips on the Gorse family. The Bishop of Beauvin, who is determined to make the king honor, has deviated from the road and is heading for self-destruction step by step. Even , he may drag us, drag England, drag the whole world, and sink into the abyss."

Respan didn't speak.

Oron Nightstar has absolute prestige and fame among the Sherwood elves. Every elves believe that this hero, who is infinitely close to the legendary rank, can lead them to settle down in this new world and move towards peace and prosperity.

Back then, when the elves came to Earth, it was Oron Yexing who stepped forward to negotiate with the brave and skilled Lionheart King, winning the respect of the other party and gaining a place to stand.

The Lionheart ended his expedition in the Holy Land and was imprisoned by the Holy Roman Emperor on his way back home.Bewitched by the evil god, the Lionheart's younger brother, John, the landless king who tried to usurp the throne, took the opportunity to launch a rebellion.

Oron Nightstar stood up again and defeated the nobles who followed John, the landless king, and poisoned England.

It was also from that time that the story of Robin Hood began to spread in the human world.

However, only a few people know that Robin Hood actually means "Supreme Archer" in Elvish language.The most glorious warrior title among the elves has always been held by Oron Nightstar.

"Patriarch, then I will stay in Sherwood from today."

Rispan absolutely trusts every decision made by the patriarch.Since he didn't think he should be completely tied to the Plantagenet's station car, there was no need for him to work for Bishop Beauvin.

"No. There are not many elves in the forest who are open-minded like you, willing to integrate into human society, rather than despise them from the bottom of their hearts, calling them 'short-lived'. I need you to continue to maintain the relationship with England for Sherwood. Contact. But there is no need to go to Bishop Beauvin, I will arrange for you to go to London."
