The day after Siegel returned to Heimland, Elf Leia took a team of thirty guards and four ancient war trees and came outside the city walls at dawn.

They raised a green flag with olive branches drawn with golden lines.

"Hurry up and report to the lord, the elves want to see him." Knights who have participated in battles between nobles recognize this mark: when there is a need for dialogue between army generals, the olive branch flag will be used. If the other side also agrees to the dialogue, the same flag is used, and the two sides, under the witness of the **** of war, swear to ensure each other's safety.

When the elves start to attack the three mage towers in Waterdeep City, Creekwood Town and Hub Fort, they will definitely come to Siegel, which is what Siegel expected. For a long time, in order to avoid exposing the secret of creating the ancient tree of war, the elf mages have basically cut off the exchanges with the Human Mage Association and its branch organizations. Elves never go to federations, nor do they recruit wizard apprentices who are not elves. There are few mages who go to the Elven Forest to communicate, and they are always under strict isolation and surveillance.

Therefore, the elves are not clear about the progress of the Mages Association in recent years, let alone the newly emerging red spire.

Siegel once provided them with a sketch, roughly depicting the pattern of the magic circle around the crimson spire of the hub. In the tentative battle with the hub castle, the red spire only used conventional defense methods, and did not open the magic circle on the periphery, which made the elves a little worried.

They thought of Siegel again. Since the city of Myr is still surrounded by the elf army layer by layer - the idea of ​​the high elves does not match the facts, but Leah does not want to clarify - why not negotiate with it and let Siegel reveal more secrets?

Elf Leah accepted such an order. Early in the morning, I took the team to the outside of the city wall.

Heimland doesn't have the same flag, but Siegel solved the problem with illusion. Seeing the still image of the olive leaf flag, the wizard mage stopped counting silently, and then said to Leah, "General, it took four minutes in total."

"What level is this reaction speed among humans?" Leah asked.

"It's very soon." An older elf warrior kept squinting his eyes. Observe the movement on the city walls. He said: "According to the map, this city wall is the farthest from the Castle of Myr City, and it takes two minutes to ride there. To be able to respond so quickly shows that there are good junior officers in Myer City, and the information is transmitted very quickly. I Seeing the guards at the head of the city, the orcs and human soldiers did not panic at all. They cooperated very well. Even if we used the flag of peace, they still prepared the brazier to light the rocket, opened the shield for the arrow, and put the Spears and rolling stones were carried up to the city. I also heard the sound of the winch, and there should be trebuchets behind the walls."

"As the lord here. Siegel can reach the city wall so quickly to deal with emergencies. It seems that he is very alert." The elf warrior said to Leah: "Although he is a mage, he can use spell teleportation at any time. Going to every corner of the territory, his response is extremely fast, but his weakness is that he has only one person. So if you want to attack, it is best to throw troops in four or more directions."

Leah shook her head and said to the elves beside her: "There is more than one mage in Sigal in the city of Myr. The Mage Federation has a laboratory here, and at least four mages are there to handle daily affairs. Although these few A mage will not interfere with our final victory. But it will certainly increase the loss. Continue to adopt the arrangement of surrounding surveillance."

People including Druids, Moon Temple priests, and mages all agreed. After all, now the elves already have the hard bone of the Union of mages, and there is no need to trouble themselves.

Leah also received an order. The wizard wizards from all over the world are dispatched to Ximu Town, and they are ready to concentrate on destroying a wizard tower first. The Elf Mage she brought this time will soon leave, and it is even less likely to launch an attack until the Mage returns.

As a teacher, Leah was very pleased that Heimland could respond so quickly. Battlefield organization is a lesson she taught Siegel, and judging from her current performance, it is undoubtedly excellent.

How did Siegel achieve such efficiency of information transfer? In response to the elves' siege strategy. He placed iron whistles all over the city walls, which were able to make a very special sound. Raven Balon is always hovering over the territory. Hear the whistle and fly over.

Talking to a bird was uncomfortable for the soldiers, but it gave Siegel the first glimpse of what was happening on the front lines. compared to horse-riding. The speed of this communication is "as fast as flying". After hearing about this, he tidied up his clothes and used teleportation to go outside the city.

Elf Leia saw him from a distance and dismounted and walked over.

"Master Leia, what's the matter?" Siegel said to the elf with a smile. Fortunately, he had already predicted that he did not stay in the hub castle, otherwise he must be exposed now.

"Do you know the Federation's attack on the elves?" Leah asked.

"I don't know, I haven't contacted the Federation for a long time." Siegel shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "In the beginning, a message was sent, and the Federation asked all official mages to go to the Three Peaks Pagoda to defend the Federation. I'm still a lord, and I can't be here without me, so I didn't go."

"The last time we met, you said something about the Knox Common Club, the drawings of their red magic tower. Do you have more detailed information here?"

Siegel frowned and made a thoughtful expression. The elf's reaction was what he expected, but he must not act like he was prepared.

"I haven't provided the elves with any drawings of magic towers. I don't understand the manufacture of magic towers at all, otherwise I would have bought one for myself." Siegel said to the elves with a smile: "The Mages Association advocates the exchange of knowledge. In exchange for the equivalent, I can talk to the elves under this premise."

Leah also smiled, it seemed that her apprentice had really matured. The learning ability and growth rate of human beings far exceed that of elves, and Siegel is the best among them. Leah has seen the speed at which he learns elven martial arts, and he is even more savvy when it comes to magic. It has only been two years since he became a lord, and he can already handle war and diplomatic affairs proficiently.

She was relieved.

"Siegel. I believe what you have said before, Knox is a very dangerous enemy. At least the elves have no idea of ​​destroying the world or sacrificing life. I think you should understand this better than I do, otherwise ...or you wouldn't go out of town to negotiate."

Siegel nodded, no longer detoured, and said directly to Leah: "Actually, I have no other requirements. I just want my people not to starve to death. The elves are besieging the city like this, and our food will always run out one day. Yes, the elves have never killed our people, but they can't let us starve to death, right?"

"You can't let us elves provide food, can you?"

Siegel shook his head, "For such a stupid request, I will only be laughed at by you." He scratched his head. Said to the elf: "Would it be good for you to set aside an area for my farmers to cultivate in the spring. My idea is that it is along the Shield River, so it is convenient for irrigation, and it is not far from the city. Or It is the part of the original Ghost Mist Swamp. It is also very suitable for planting."

"This is negotiable, but it mainly depends on what kind of information you can provide."

"I have a Knox wizard spellbook, and the spells in it should inspire your wizards." Siegel said: "This book is a book I got a long time ago, and the Knox spells collected by the Wizards Association. The book is different, it's an unabridged version."

"You can get arable land along the Shield River," Leah said.

"The grievances of the Knox Common Society are very difficult to deal with, and even hordes of giant dragons will be defeated, so your ancient war tree is not safe. Have you come up with a solution now?"

"I can't tell you that."

"Okay, it's okay not to say it. I once studied how to prevent resentment with the dwarf rune master. But I made some dispel runes that have good effects. Mora's top closes the door, I may be the only one in the new world who can make dwarves. Rune man. Either I continue research with your elven spellcasters, or I sell you some runes?"

"I need to report this to the higher council. There will be good news. Anything else?"

Siegel made a face with his tongue sticking out and said mischievously, "Master Leah, these are quite a lot. I'm not a god, I can know everything by pinching my fingers. I also need to spend time studying and researching."

"You're doing it right." Leah deliberately made a serious expression, coughed twice, and said, "What else does Heimland need now?"

"You definitely don't give me what I want to eat, but rather something to drink. Drinks, fabrics, pretty daily necessities. Whatever. But it's better to drink."

"It's not good for soldiers to drink alcohol," Leah reminded.

"But it can ease their mental pain."

Leah and Siegel looked at each other meaningfully for a while~www.readwn.com~ and said nothing. Then they returned to their respective camps.

Send spells over long distances between mages. Leah got a reply quickly. It can be agreed on the matter of cultivating the land, and the earliest planting will not be until spring. There is still a whole winter to observe.

Afterwards, the elf rejected Siegel's proposal to participate in spell research, but was very interested in runes. "He wants to be drunk, there is no problem at all." The Elf Council finally decided: "In addition to weapons, food, various resources and raw materials, it can be exchanged with Heim Land. Dwarf runes are still very useful in some places. It's easy to use, if he can keep busy making runes, he won't cause any trouble to the elves."

Leah nodded in agreement, and then asked which piece of land could be opened to Heimland as arable land.

It didn't take long for an echo: "Give him a piece of the swamp. These people are under our surveillance, and Heimland will not act rashly. From our observation, Siegel has always been kind and responsible. People with a heart will not abandon those who farm the land."

"Okay, I will coordinate this matter." Leah finally said: "I wish you all the best in the war, be careful with the Knox Common Association." (To be continued)
