The correct way to open the elf

Chapter 166 The Goal of the Moran Empire

Emperor Zhijin made the right bet. Although this trip to the south was nominally to celebrate the birth of the human Dharma Saint, it brought humiliation to him and the Zhijin Empire, but he still made the right bet.

Cromwell brought countless precious gifts to the emperor of the Northern Brocade Empire, who had once overwhelmed the Southern Empire and made his precious promise as a French saint.

The magic of the Mage Saint will never be used in the war between the two great empires of the north and south. However, I need a magic material that is a specialty of the Elf Forest, and I hope that the Brocade Emperor will help me.

When Emperor Zhijin heard these words, he couldn't suppress his ecstasy.

Although the Brocade Emperor was saddened by the loss of the Elven Forest, compared with the entire Northern Empire, the Elven Forest that had been mined to its limit was nothing? !
In the Royal Inn of the Moran Empire, Emperor Moran met with his old rival Emperor Zhijin, and the two emperors talked for a long time behind closed doors in the inn.

Emperor Brocade originally thought that he had lost the entire Elf Forest, but later he discovered that the appetite of this old rival was obviously not that big.

Emperor Moran simply divided the Elf Forest into two parts, east and west, and Emperor Moran wanted the eastern part close to the coastline because he believed that there were magical materials needed by Cromwell the Mage.

Not only that, Emperor Moran also hopes to end the war in the Elf Forest between the two empires, have each empire restrain its own armed forces and organizations from the civilian community, and develop the Elf Forest peacefully with the north and the south as the boundary, each taking half.

Although he did not understand the purpose of Emperor Moran's doing this, the only request from the Sage of Mage was still ringing in his ears, and his trembling hands calmed down a little. There was no reason for Emperor Zhijin to refuse such a fair condition that was not considered a condition.

The two most powerful emperors of the Green Continent talked for a long time in the inn. Afterwards, Emperor Zhijin once again visited the Mage Cromwell and said goodbye to this wise Mage. Then he boarded his royal airship and returned to his empire.

In the royal family of the Moran Empire, inside a magnificent palace, the prime minister, generals and other high-ranking officials of the empire gathered together.

The chancellor of the empire said: "Emperor, why don't we keep the Brocade Emperor..."

"It's meaningless. The two empires have no external threats, and the interior of the Brocade Empire is very stable. If the Brocade Emperor dares to come here, he must have arranged everything and is ready to never go back. So why should we do this? It would only make our Moran Empire look petty.

Also, I have talked to the Mage Cromwell, and he believes that our primary task as humans is to preserve our strength and prepare to face the near future dimensional war, rather than wasting our combat power in the confrontation between the two empires.

Cromwell is the biggest trump card of our Moran Empire and will play a crucial role in future wars, so we still have to give him this respect."

The Prime Minister said: "Even so, it is fine for us to take advantage of this opportunity to gain control of the entire Elf Forest. I believe that the Brocade Emperor will still agree.

In this way, as long as we hold the Elven Forest, we will have a solid bridgehead, which can deter the Northern Empire and cut off the conditions for the Northern Empire to invade the south."

The general said: "My Lord Prime Minister, does the Northern Empire dare to invade the south now? How many troops do we need to defend such a large Elf Forest?

If there are too many, the empire will be empty. If there are too few, think about the elves who were forced to leave! Even if the Northern Empire does not officially intervene, those mercenaries and adventurers will still harass our soldiers in different ways. It will not be worth the loss. "

Emperor Moran said: “That’s right, the loss outweighs the gain.

Besides, the precious resources of the Elven Forest have been plundered completely in the past hundred years. What remains are the materials that can be cultivated and the mineral deposits that require a safe environment to develop."

The Prime Minister sighed and said, "I know this is the case, but I just can't accept it. We have been suppressed by the powerful Northern Empire for so long, we have to get some interest back!"

Emperor Moran laughed and said, “Yes, we have to get some interest back, but not from the Elf Forest whose value has plummeted, nor from the powerful Northern Empire.

After all, our Mage Saints don’t have the long life span of the Elven Mage Saints, so what we need is something that can increase the strength of our Moran Empire, not a piece of troubled, remote land.”

The prime minister said puzzledly: "Emperor, is there a reason why you did not divide the Elven Forest into north and south, but east and west, and chose the relatively barren eastern coastal area?"

Emperor Moran smiled and glanced at the prince, who said, "Yes, Prime Minister, there is a reason why my father chose that place."

Not only the prime minister, but even the general was very puzzled. After the prince got the signal from Emperor Moran, he spoke frankly.

The prince picked up a beautifully crafted glass wine glass and said, "My Lords, don't you think that the goblins who come to the royal city to trade have been coming too frequently recently?"

"The Imperial City is rich, and there are so many goblin caravans coming here to trade that I didn't pay much attention."

"The trade routes of goblin caravans are generally fixed and are limited by the speed of the goblin airships and the production speed of the goods in their trading areas.

There are indeed many goblins coming to the Imperial City to trade, but in fact, the number and frequency of goblins coming to the Imperial City to trade on each goblin trade route each year does not change.

But this year is different. The imperial spies discovered that goblins on one route were coming particularly frequently. Those goblins brought the refined salt, porcelain and glass that are now all the rage in the imperial city.

Those goblins were not honest. They all said that these things came from the desert empire in the far east.

But our scholars told me that based on the speed of the goblin airships and their round-trip time, these goblins who brought refined salt and porcelain were simply lying.

Judging from the speed of the goblin airship and their course, they just crossed the Lengshui River and returned to the Ancient Battlefield. It is impossible for them to cross the Ancient Battlefield and the Great Desert and reach the distant Desert Empire. "

After hearing what the prince said, the general quickly walked to the map hanging on the wall, looked at it carefully, measured it, and asked, "Could it be from the sea tribe?"

The prince smiled and said, "No, how could the sea tribe produce such a thing? It is said that they can't even make iron tools and are still using fish bones as weapons!"

The rapid development of human civilization has made humans the overlord of the continent, which has also given humans the capital to face up to and even laugh at other races. The sea people, who have no equipment manufacturing industry to speak of, naturally became the object of ridicule by humans who are obsessed with war.
