The Sun King's Evidence

Deeply lonely, yet thriving, Athel Loren is enjoying its hard-won tranquility.

In midsummer, everything is prosperous and ever-growing, with elk prancing among the woodlands and birds singing in the shade.

In the Starlight Forge, the fire of Vaal's Anvil never stops. The man named Dais, yes, Lord Dais who has the same name as the ranger coach under Ryan's command is wielding his hammer and forging weapons for the upcoming battle. Be fully prepared for the coming war.

On the river beach in midsummer, one banquet after another is being held. The unfortunate guests drink the wood elf fruit wine at the invitation of the wood elves and forest spirits. These guests will soon fall asleep and then be sacrificed to the tree. to satisfy the desires of these vicious creatures.

Moonspring Woodland still maintains tranquility, moonlight fills the entire forest, streams are everywhere, wood elves walk among the streams and waterfalls, and spellsingers sing the name of the mist goddess Ladelia.

Night Canyon, Skymark Reach, Heart of Winter, Wild Forest, Ashen Hall, Withered Land, Deceiver's Wood and Pine Cliffs, except for Pine Cliffs, which is located southeast of Athel Loren and is where the Black Mountains enter the forest. There are often wars outside the other major entrance, but other territories have enjoyed peace for more than ten years.

For the wood elves, who are absolute isolationists, the best thing is this. The outside world has nothing to do with us. We quietly close our doors and live our own little lives. We really have needs. Look, the knight king Ryan next door helps us. The original canteen has been upgraded into a large supermarket. If you have any needs, just contact the Oliver Chamber of Commerce for purchasing and negotiation.

It is worth mentioning that Oliver is already over sixty this year, and he is already an out-and-out old man for humans. But the wood elves are really reluctant to let this guy die, because it is really useful, so they not only arranged for one The Lost Ranger and the two Wildwood Rangers guarded him and got him a twig with Alaire's magical power. Oliver's body was parasitized by the twig, and they lived and died together to survive. The wood elf asked him to He can live for another twenty or thirty years, giving him time to train a successor.

Therefore, Alaros, who sits in the position of Lord Tasien and whose status in the King's Forest is second only to the Forest King Orion and Queen Alaire, can understand why the wood elf lords are so fiercely opposed to sending troops and participating in this matter.

It's like a long war is finally over, and when everyone returns to the forest and begins a comfortable vacation, something happens to an annoying distant relative and they get into trouble again. Just one word: "annoying"!

But Aralos was different. As a rare "fighting sect" and "young man" among the woodland lords, he was really worried about the safety of the eternal little queen.

After a few hours of meeting, the Woodland Council temporarily adjourned. Araloth walked out of the wide and deep council hall. He looked at Athel Loren Forest, the home of the wood elves.

The forest transformed by the ancient saint is bathed in thick fog. The lush canopy of the era oak blocks the sky and the sun, the tangled forest paths, the light of the guide stones looming in the haze, and the cross-flowing creeks are rugged and unpredictable.

The King's Forest was full of vitality. Araloth noticed the ancient tree man Dursu standing in front of those ancient trees. Each ancient tree could be traced back to the beginning of the creation of the ancient saints. Most of them fell into a permanent sleep, and the vicious Zhuo Ya and the forest fairies were uttering all kinds of terrible curses and malicious whispers in Durthu's ears to keep Durthu alive.

The Greyhawks are gathering below, waiting for the end of the meeting in Araloth. Hundreds of Glade Guards and Eternal Guards are patrolling near the King's Wood. Orlane's Wild Riders are running around, waiting for the King of the Forest to sound the symbol of the Wild Hunt. The horns of the war dancers danced in the open space in front of the Hall of Magic and praised the name of Loic, the god of deceit. Of course, the figures of the wild forest rangers and rangers were also indispensable. They were conducting an eternal watch. To protect the home they share with the forest spirits.

Aralos breathed the forest air obsessively and enjoyed the tranquility the forest brought to him. Everything seemed to last forever.

"My champion, do you think Alisela should be rescued?" Queen Alaire flew out of the Magic Hall, and Isa transformed into her champion and asked: "You just voted in favor."

"My Majesty, I always feel that it is not good if Eislay does not participate in this matter... The eternal little queen will be related to you after all." Aralos considered his tone: "If Eislay does this, Ai SiLai will Where is Her Majesty Laruili and Fenuba..."

"Since the vote has been taken, I have nothing to say." When Alaire heard Alissara's name, her long eyebrows like insect tentacles twitched twice, as if she was worried about this Alarielle. The daughter disagreed very much: "Besides, if it had just happened, we might still be able to catch up with the roots, but now... it's too late."

"Your Majesty is right, it's too late." Alaros sighed.

When the giant eagle flew to tell the wood elves the news, it was indeed too late.

Of the high elf envoys and dwarf envoys that were completely wiped out, only one giant eagle managed to escape.

The giant eagle immediately flew to Haimen Pass, trying to seek help from King Baiernov-Dragonhammer of Haimen Pass and his elite army of Haimen Pass dwarves.

However, there is a problem here, that is, no one in Haimen Pass understands the language of the giant eagle. In the entire old world, only wood elves and a very small number of natural druids or amber (beast) wizards understand the language of the giant eagle.

The giant eagle and the dwarf talked for a long time without explaining what happened. In the end, they could only get some food from the dwarf, and then flew intermittently across half of the old world to find the wood elf. When the wood elf interpreted the giant eagle By the time she spoke the language, the little queen had been captured for weeks.

When did this happen? The dwarves had already sent people to investigate when they had not heard from the mission. The entire Eternal Peak soon fell into grief. You must know that the entire Eternal Peak only has a total of about 160,000 dwarves. What is the concept of losing an army of 1,000 dwarves?

If calculated according to Karl Franz's Reikland, it would be equivalent to the empire's nearly 40,000 standing regular army being wiped out in an instant in one day! Among them are even the emperor's own kin generals and part of the Reik Guards.

"The Asurs will definitely send heavy troops to rescue their little eternal queen. As for humans, we have already notified the news." Alaire nodded: "Don't let anger dominate you, my champion."

Nagashtar is too far away. Where is this giant undead fortress located?

Located to the south of the Roof of the World Mountains, if you start from Athel Loren, the distance is twice the distance from Athel Loren to Eight Peaks.

"Now our attention should be on guarding against the possible invasion of the increasingly violent beasts and Morguls." Alaire concluded the matter: "My champion, this is your responsibility."

"yes."

The Woodland Council in King's Grove has since come to an end.

News of the wood elves soon reached the Imperial Palace.

After Karl Franz got the news, his head almost exploded.

Imperial calendar year 2520 was another disastrous year.

What happened to the Emperor's empire after the victory at Blackfire Pass in April?

At the end of April, there was a severe drought in the northern part of the empire, and many embankments of the Upper Tarabek River collapsed, causing serious damage to the Ostermark and Tarabek lands.

In May, riots reappeared in the Central Mountains. Chaos sects frequently carried out activities and bewitched the Hawke noblewoman Countess Claudio. Elector Edbrand formed an army of 3,000 men and besieged the city for more than a month before capturing it. The countess's castle.

In June, during the lean period, there was a great famine in Nord, which even reached the point of cannibalism. The profiteers in Marienburg took the opportunity to raise the price of food and hoard it. The knight kingdom Ryan was away, and Queen Surya decided to withdraw from the Church of the Fairy in the Lake. The food pressure was relieved after taking out three million kilograms of old grain.

In July, a large locust plague ravaged the Oster Territory, causing many farmland crops to fail.

In August, the Reik River overflowed, and many villages along the river downstream were destroyed by floods.

The plague was rampant, and strange fevers ravaged the empire. Patients had high fever, headaches, severe pain in muscles, bones and joints, and some patients had rashes and bleeding symptoms.

The Emperor has just received news that the legendary Sawtooth Horn Tribe of the Beastmen and the Sterling Kinship War Beasts have formed an alliance. The Razor Chariot, Chaos Egg and the Great Horned Beast Warband have formed an alliance under the Beastmen Supreme Beast King One-Eyed-Kazzak and the Beastmen Great. Under the leadership of the warlord Groz-The Cannibal, five villages and towns were destroyed in succession along the Middenland Road, and tens of thousands of people were killed. By the time Boris arrived, the beastmen had already retreated deep into the forest.

Of course, things didn't happen in Britannia. First Marshal Berhemond personally led the army to defeat the beastmen and beasts that appeared in the Arden Forest near the Arden Forest. The famous legendary beastman Big Horn The warband "The Dismemberers of Korokkar" took part in this war, and a great battle was fought between the two sides.

Duke Bohemond is too good at dealing with beastmen, and the fight is completely worthwhile. In addition, after the military reform, the quality of the Britannian army is incomparable. Morgiana also leads the Lake God Witch Coven and the Holy Grail Guards. With their full help, the Beastmen were finally defeated and hid in the Arden Forest again.

Then the question came. The emperor looked at the battle report and grabbed his hair.

How many beastmen are there in the forests of the old world?

Archduke and Elector Alberich Haut-Andersen of Stirland once again reported that as many as six tax collection teams have entered Sylvania this year and were declared missing, and the last two tax collection teams even There was a battalion (400 men), carrying a lot of firearms and equipped with a battle priest, two witch hunters and seven or eight vampire hunters, led by six raven knights who were familiar with Sylvania, but in After going deep into Sylvania for several days, there was still no news. Elector Alberich made a half request, half a warning, hoping that the emperor would pay attention to this cursed imperial territory.

You come to me for everything, right? Ask me to solve any problem, right?

Now that the little queen of eternity is caught, she has to tell me specifically, right?

Karl-Franz was going crazy.

The emperor's chief foreign minister, Baron Amadeus Mencken of Stilgau, and the imperial ambassador to Marienburg, Count Metternich, stood opposite the emperor, and they were also deeply worried about the news.

"It seems that the people of the forest do not intend to leave us alone. With 1,000 dwarves, Thorgrin is going to bleed again." The emperor put down the message sent by the wood elf. He leaned on his chair and couldn't help laughing. : “There are so many things to worry about, I don’t even know which ones I should deal with first.”

"Your Majesty, the wood elves revealed this news to us, which is very meaningful." Amadeus said seriously: "Obviously, the people were attacked when passing by the dwarf territory, and the ones who did it were undead, and they had nothing to do with us. Related, but the wood elf must send the message..."

"This is a difficult question to answer, Your Majesty." Count Metternich hurried over, with a lot of dust on his previously very elegant clothes.

"Well, yes, Lord Metternich." Karl-Franz gestured for the two of them to sit down. The emperor looked out the window. It was still very hot in Braunschweig in August: "The wood elf gave us a multiple-choice question. ah."

"It's very simple. We just turn the multiple-choice questions into fill-in-the-blank questions." The emperor said without thinking, "Come here, send someone immediately to send this letter to Britannia and give it to the Queen of Knights who is currently regent. Sulia, tell her that the eternal little queen Alisara who was previously received by the Knight Kingdom is missing, and also, copy the exact same message and send it to Nuer. Isn’t Frey very concerned about the whereabouts of the little queen? "

"yes!"

A few days later, in the old world, in the middle of Britannia, the Kingdom of Knights, south of the Chalon Forest, the Duke's Castle of Lane.

Surya and Morgiana, who were responsible for staying in the Knight Kingdom, received a letter from Emperor Karl-Franz.

"The little queen of eternity is missing?" In the office hall of the Duke's castle, Sulia and Morgiana sat opposite each other. The knight queen held the emperor's letter in her hand and frowned.

"Talleyrand, take a look." Sulia's delicate and beautiful face was a little hesitant. She did not rush to give an evaluation, but handed the letter to Talleyrand.

"Your Majesty, and Your Highness." Talleyrand, the high elf and Britannia's chief foreign minister, leaned on crutches. The lame man glanced secretly at the two women who were now the most powerful and in charge of the kingdom of knights.

After a brief frown, Sulia closed her eyes. The Queen of Knights clasped her hands on the table, seeming to have understood something, while Morgiana rested her elbows on the table impatiently. The heels of the fish-mouthed high-heeled shoes under the long skirt tapped gently on the ground.

"Your Majesty, and Your Highness, the Empire has kicked the ball to us. I think that His Majesty, the respected Emperor, must not have figured out how to handle this matter yet, so he wants to see our reaction." Lie Lang read the letter for a few times, and the cripple nodded slowly: "This is a very troublesome matter. Whether we send troops to support or not, it seems to be the wrong answer."

Before Sulia could speak, Morgiana had already spoken impatiently: "Why do you say that?"

"Because... assuming we don't take the initiative to rescue, then did we make a mistake in inviting the little queen to visit Britannia, or is there something wrong with our spirit of chivalry?" Talleyrand said with a smile: "And suppose we Troops were sent for rescue, so was there something wrong with the response of the three guards of Badland, or did we ourselves appear guilty and proactively believed that we were responsible, so we made such a remedy?"

"Yes, this is exactly what I am worried about." Sulia nodded slightly, and the Knight Queen thought for a moment: "Talleyrand, how will the high elves react?"

"It is impossible for Asul to ignore the fact that the little queen has been captured. Logically speaking, the war lord and the eternal queen will definitely send heavy troops to Nagashiza to rescue." Talleyrand nodded: "Then, no matter what we do, Do you plan to participate in the rescue? In the eyes of the high elves, humans are all wrong. I understand Asul’s thinking. Not participating is a great responsibility, and participating means that we take the initiative to admit our mistakes. No matter what we choose, we have already shouldered the original sin. ”

"Yes, so I was about to ask your opinion." Sulia nodded gently, and the Queen of Knights' bright sea-blue eyes stared at the cripple: "Ryan is not here now, Talleyrand, he left you to me , I really need your help in many diplomatic matters."

"Yes, ladies, I will do my best to serve the interests of the Kingdom of Knights!" Talleyrand immediately bowed: "Can you give me a few minutes?"

"Of course." Morgiana nodded slightly.

The cripple asked for a glass of red wine. He took the wine glass and walked around the office hall three times on crutches.

"Emperor Karl-Franz changed the multiple-choice question into a fill-in-the-blank question and gave us the problem." Talleyrand smiled: "Madams, I have an idea. Please review it together."

"oh?"

"How about we change the fill-in-the-blank question into a question-and-answer question and kick the ball directly to the high elves?"

"How to say?"

"We are like this..."
