The Sun King's Evidence

PS. Yes, I stayed up late last night to watch the World Cup again. When I woke up in the morning, I felt like my body was empty.

The clear and loud sound of the horn penetrated the forest land in late summer. The forest was windless and there was a violent swaying sound.

"Dong~dong~dong~" Rhythmic footsteps appeared deep in the forest.

Ryan led the knights out of the camp.

It's an elf, a legendary elf!

A giant eagle flew across the summer sky, and under the forest, groups of elven armies appeared in front of the knights.

The first thing that appeared were the forest guards wearing robes on the outside and leather armor on the inside. Most of them had cold looks and rough skin, and were decorated with a lot of leaves. Each woodland guard carried a quiver behind him and hung a quiver on his waist. Wearing daggers, they were obviously the main body of this army. There were four to five hundred of them in total.

Then came the Eternal Guards, who were armed with spears and large kite-shaped shields. They wore more sophisticated scale armor, and each of them carried a recurve bow and quiver behind him. There were about two to three hundred of these elves.

Finally, there are a small number of woodland guards who ride on elven warhorses. They are called woodland cavalry, and there are some elves who hide their figures in hoods and masks. They are called rangers and are the best archers.

It's the wood elf army! What are they doing here? Ryan led the knights to greet them, with a strange look on his face.

Wood elves are absolutely isolated and isolated from the world. Almost all of them live in the giant forest in southern Britannia-Athel Loren Forest. In addition, there are more or less other forests in the old world. Wood elves exist.

This race is very, very, very exclusive and has never had any contact with the outside world. Except for the Kingdom of Britannia, which has established diplomatic relations with the wood elves, many humans even believe that the wood elves do not actually exist. The eccentric wood elves in the forest are only Appears in these people's pastime stories, ballads, and plays.

After the first knight king Arthur established the kingdom, a war broke out between the knight kingdom and the wood elves. All the knights and serf armies that broke into the forest never came back, and the wood elves were tired of the endless struggle with the Brittanians. , finally, after Arthur fell ill and passed away, and his body disappeared into the depths of the Fairy Lake, his eldest son, Knight King Lewis, signed a peace treaty with the wood elves. In the peace treaty, Britannia gave up its legal claim to Athel Loren. , recognized Athel Loren as an independent country, and the wood elves promised non-aggression and mutual assistance with Britannia, and would establish trade relations with a very small number of knights and nobles depending on the situation.

Therefore, although the knights were a little wary and nervous about the appearance of the wood elves, they did not have much hostility. On the contrary, they were more confused: "Are they pointed ears?"

"What are pointy ears doing here?"

"This is lady territory! Get out!"

Many young knights errant shouted that no matter they were elves or dwarves, these people did not like them.

The older kingdom knights looked at the wood elves with complicated eyes. Of course they did not like the wood elves, but in any case, the wood elves and Britannia had diplomatic relations. At this critical moment, they did not want to see the wood elves again. Fight the wood elves.

The female knight Sulia pulled her personal maid and said softly: "Sylvia? What do you think these wood elves are doing here?"

"In this case, it's hard to say whether the wood elf is an enemy or a friend. It depends on..." Sylvia focused on Ryan who walked up calmly.

"Well, it depends on Mr. Ryan's negotiation." The female knight could only stand upright and wait in place.

A woodland lord jumped down from the giant eagle. She was a female wood elf. She had white skin and a beautiful face, but her face was also full of rebelliousness. There were many complexities on her face. The patterns exude magic fluctuations and rich wildness.

Ryan put away his war hammer, indicating that he had no ill intentions. He spoke in Elvish: "Hello, my friend Eslay from the forest, I am the Knight of the Holy Grail, Ryan Malcador."

"You know Elvish?!" The woodland lord looked quite surprised. The first thing that came out of her mouth was High Gothic.

"Yes, I can speak Elvish, so please tell me, friends from the forest, can you tell me the reason for your appearance?" Ryan said in a deep voice. At this critical juncture, they cannot go to war with the wood elves.

"Holy Grail Knight Lion Malcador, I am Woodland Lord Delina. Even in the forest, we have heard your name. We are here just to find you." The Woodland Lord put down his arrogance and said, Then he continued with a calm and indifferent voice: "Eslay doesn't believe in humans, but the Holy Grail Knight is an exception. We are here only because of you."

"Come because of me?" Ryan frowned.

"The forest is crying. The corruption of the Sons of Chaos has permeated this land. Your human army has been wiped out. Only you and us are left in the darkness." The wood elf said in Elvish language that even the knights could not understand: " So, we found you, Ryan Macado? We said we would meet in a few months."

"Have you ever been to my territory?" Ryan remembered that the empire businessman Oliver once said that a group of wood elves had visited the Baron of Jean: "Is that you?"

"Exactly." The woodland lord raised his chin: "A half-elf told us about your strength and great achievements, so we decided to examine whether you are qualified to become a friend of the wood elves. After the perfect counterattack on that rainy night , we think Lord Lane is worthy of becoming a partner of the wood elves, so we showed up."

Are all elves so arrogant? Black lines appeared on Ryan's head.

The half-elf...is Estelle!

Reason told the Holy Grail Knight that now is not the time for him to act impulsively. Time is tight. No one wants to start a war with the wood elves at this juncture, so Ryan said tentatively: "So, are you here to help us?"

"Exactly." Who knew that Delina also admitted generously: "We believe that there is no better situation than to lend a helping hand at this time. Our troops are too few and you lack direction. This is exactly what humans and elves need from each other. when."

Ryan was silent.

The Primarch doesn't like to deal with elves. Whether they are high elves, dark elves or wood elves, they are not good birds. Ryan knows this well.

But he had no choice now, and the wood elf showed enough sincerity, so the Holy Grail Knight sighed and said, "I'll give you twenty minutes to convince me."

"You all understand that the Ten Thousand Demonic Rock is the core of Chaos, but you don't know that the opposite side of the Ten Thousand Demonic Rock is the beacon stone that we wood elves use to suppress the power of chaos and evil corruption." Delina knew that the Holy Grail Knight in front of her had compromised. , so she continued: "They are essentially magic stones that emit energy, and we can quickly find it in the forest... In fact, we have found it about thirty kilometers away from here. "

"There are probably more than two thousand beastman tribes guarding the Magic Rock. We lack strong enough elite heavy armored infantry. We also found that your Brittanian army seems to lack strong enough long-range infantry? Ace Len is willing to help you.”

"...I have to admit that maybe the alliance is a better choice." After thinking about it carefully, Ryan finally nodded: "Although I can't trust you yet, maybe as you said, we need each other."

"The ancient covenant has been established again, and humans and elves will once again fight side by side against evil."

So Ryan waved his hand to signal the knights to put down their guard, and the woodland lord nodded, indicating that the wood elves no longer need to point their bows, arrows and spear points at the knights.

After twenty minutes of "cordial and friendly" talks, the Brittanian knights and the wood elves of Athel Loren formed a short-term alliance. Humans and elves united and marched toward the Demonic Rock together.

The woodland lord Delina nodded with satisfaction. She blew the whistle, and several carriages carrying a large amount of food and sweet wine from the forest drove out from the depths of the army: "This is a gift from the forest, please accept it, ours." ally."

The humans kept cheering, and there were colorful fruits, thirst-quenching sweet wine, and exquisite food specially made by the wood elves. How had the serfs ever seen such high-end food? Even the knights were surprised by the wood elves' generosity.

The hostility quickly disappeared, and everything was seen by the woodland lord Delina.

A few months ago, a half-elf returned to the sea of ​​trees. He accepted the inquiry from the King of the Forest, Orion. From his mouth, the Eislays learned about the changes in the outside world.

From the mouth of this half-elf, the wood elves heard a name repeatedly, that is, the famous human hero, the Knight of the Holy Grail and the chosen champion of the Lake Fairy, Ryan Malcador. The proud half-elf recognized his strength and Emphasizing that he is about to become the lord and noble of the Knight Kingdom.

This eventually led to the emergence of the woodland lord Daelina and this wood elf army. After investigation, Daelina believed that the virtue, strength and courage displayed by the humans in front of her, as well as their determination to fight against chaos, were worthy of becoming a partner of the wood elves.

Thus, a covenant was born.

The knights had no objection to Ryan's choice to form an alliance with the wood elves. Britannia itself had diplomatic relations with the wood elves, and there was a treaty of non-aggression and mutual assistance. Gabriel just sighed: "Your Excellency Ryan, you They are so proud that we were able to meet the legendary wood elves, and they actually offered to form an alliance with us."

"Maybe this is luck. My luck has always been good." Ryan nodded with a wry smile. He knew that the wood spirits appeared with a purpose, but as Delina said, at this juncture, humans need wood spirits, and wood spirits also need them. Humans and the Demonic Rock are the common goals of both parties, and the beastmen are the common enemy of both parties.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, not to mention the loose alliance between the two parties?

The two armies merged into one, and Ryan could see the wood elves' woodland cavalry flying through the dense forests and shrubs at full speed like butterflies, as if this was not a forest but a wilderness.

The knights looked envious. Many knights tried to talk to the wood elves, but the wood elves could not understand what they were talking about.

Seeing this, Ryan tried to talk to Delina in Elvish: "I have never seen any trace of you. How did you come to Arden Forest?"

"We passed through the roots of the Oak of Ages...which is what you call the Tree of Worlds from the ground." Delina nodded: "This is a special method. I can only tell you so much."

"Why didn't you choose to rescue the besieged chivalry army, but chose to help me?" Ryan then asked.

"Britannia is strong on the outside and capable on the inside. What maintains the order of your human country is pride and fear. The nobles are full of hatred and suspicion. You are always unable to unite for various reasons. For various reasons, you consider your own interests and engage in intrigues. This is humankind. We will not trust humans or help humans." Delina said lightly: "Only the virtues of the Holy Grail Knight have been recognized by Eislay. You are willing to abandon your differences and prejudices and work together for the lofty goal. To fight for the goal, we are only willing to cooperate with the Holy Grail Knights, and we are only willing to fight side by side with the Holy Grail Knights. Other than that, no one will gain our trust."

"..." Ryan was speechless. The wood elf's words were very direct, but she might not be wrong.

Hundreds of years after the founding of the country, the originally upheld chivalric ethics and principles have gradually disappeared, which has intensified the wood elves' distrust of humans. Only the Holy Grail Knights recognized by the Lake Fairy can gain the friendship of the wood elves.

This may have something to do with the fact that the true identity of the Lake Fairy is Lilith, the elf goddess of fate.

"In any case, the beastmen are our common enemy, and everything is aimed at destroying the Demonic Rock. Maybe after the war is over, I will be willing to talk to you about building a trading post and an observation station in my territory." Ryan replied.

"It should be like this. The forest is angry. It's time to destroy the source of all evil." The woodland lord said bitterly: "The beastmen will pay the price. This is the revenge from the forest."

"The beastmen will also pay the price for the dead knights and soldiers!"

…………

Under the leadership of the wood elves, it took only one day for the coalition forces to arrive at the true location of the Ten Thousand Demonic Rocks.

This is a forest basin.

In the distance, in a camp full of filth and corruption of beastmen, a four-armed bull demon and two doomsday bulls are guarding the safety of the Ten Thousand Demon Rocks. It moves with heavy steps around the Ten Thousand Demon Rocks. There are still demons in the camp. Two large horned beast battle groups and several inferior horned beast battle groups protected the safety of the Demonic Rock. In addition, Ryan also saw many chaos egg troops. These extremely filthy creatures would rush into the crowd and explode themselves, bringing them with them. Cause huge damage to the knights.

Arranged on both wings were large groups of centaurs and beast warbands.

"Leave the frontal battle to us! I'll deal with the four-armed bull demon!" Ryan ordered the knights to prepare for battle.

"We will ensure that every chaos egg will be detonated before approaching you! Leave those centaurs to us!" Woodland Lord Delina also signaled the wood elves to prepare for battle.

Hundreds of woodland guards slowly moved forward, raising their recurve bows to the sky.

"Fire!"

"Whoa!" A storm of arrows like a downpour swept through the camp of the beastmen. The woodland guards' bow and arrow skills were beyond imagination. When a serf archer was about to shoot an arrow, the woodland guard had already shot the third arrow.

The unsuspecting beastmen fell down with a large number of arrows. The four-armed bull demon standing on the Ten Thousand Demon Rocks reacted: "It's... damn... pointed ears! And... lowly... humans! Defend... the Ten Thousand Demon Rocks. !”

The knights were all ready, and Ryan raised his war hammer: "Dense formation, advancing as a whole, for the lady! For Britannia!"

"Forward! For the lady, for Britannia!" The knights and sergeants were fully armed and advanced as a whole.

On the other side, the woodland lord Delina also drew her elf sword: "For Konos and Isa! For Athel Loren, the people of the forest, move forward!!!"

"For Athel Loren!" The Eternal Guards raised their giant shields, and the woodland cavalry rode forward.

This is the last battle of the summer.
