Zongman: Start by becoming the savior of the elves!

Since he was crowned king in the Sanctuary Forest, Yizi City has received marriage proposals every day, saying that they want to meet Lin Rui for a blind date. In fact, these guys who handed in marriage proposals just wanted to meet Lin Rui, and they were just creating opportunities.

Olga was really furious. These people actually used their master's future happiness to create an opportunity for dialogue! This was intolerable.

She almost felt as if the dark side of her heart was about to emerge.

Today is the third day since we came to Toishi Castle. Although the sun is shining brightly during this period, without the cloudy sky that is expected in this season, the cool breeze blowing from the valleys and the seashore reminds people to respect this season at least in terms of clothing.

Since Olga stayed in Otoko Castle and was responsible for providing logistical support for the army, the temporary adjutant accompanying Lin Rui in the government office of Whetstone Castle was the lord of Whetstone Castle, the forest elf daughter of the Anhalt family, Norin.

At this moment, she was reading the documents sent from Otoko Castle and his personal letters in a voice as sweet as a silver bell.

"This letter is from Lady Celestine. She said that she is heading to Otoko Castle and will work with Lady Olga to help you with your expedition. At the same time, she has also mobilized a thousand Pegasus Knights from the Sanctuary Forest for you to drive."

"Oh. Celestine really cares about me. I remember that the Pegasus Knights were the army that Celestine led personally to kill those illegal settlers. They were riding Pegasus and could fly and cast magic, right? When I saw that army, to be honest, I kept saying in my heart what a treasure! I really want to have it for myself! Ah. I didn't expect Celestine would actually give it to me on her own initiative. This is how she behaves as a human being... how she behaves as an elf..."

Lin Rui had a smiling face, and his desire and greed for talent were all written on his face.

Of course, in the eyes of his harem, there is another explanation: "It is normal for the head of the family to be happy to have a troop that is not only good at fighting, but also beautiful enough to enrich the appearance, and also has the meaning of being capable, right?"

"I was discovered... I was exposed so quickly..."

Nuo Lin's frank words hit home, exposing all of Lin Rui's thoughts, making Lin Rui very embarrassed. However, whether it was Lin Rui, Nuo Lin, or other people in Dishi City, everyone was cherishing this last moment of peace and enjoying this brief period of tranquility.

Until the day the army sets out.

On the Hawthorn Day of the Misty Month, that is, early in the morning of November 11th, in the audience hall of Tianshen Mountain City, the capital of the forest elves.

It was a sunny day, but the atmosphere in the hall was as solemn as if it had been raining heavily for several days.

"Grand Elder, what's wrong with you?" Mizili, who had been calling Noru's name for a long time, saw that the other party had been immersed in an unknown meditation and did not respond to her at all. She couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. She turned her head and looked at Noru. The face that usually had a bit of childishness was now covered with the fatigue that only adults have. Not only Mizili, but also other retainers beside her couldn't help but worry about her health.

Indeed, recently too many things have happened in the whole Beizhou, and everyone is overwhelmed by the complicated official duties. However, the most fatal point is that since the last assassination incident in Otoko Castle, Otoko Castle has finally stopped shouting slogans and started to take action to prepare for war. According to some caravans traveling between the east and west of Beizhou, Otoko Castle is purchasing excessive amounts of food, dried vegetables, dried meat, cloth, and ironware, and recruiting doctors, cooks, drivers, and porters. This is obviously preparing for an expedition. It seems that the savior is determined to unify the entire Beizhou.

Since entering November, I feel like I am walking on a knife edge every day. The news coming from the west is like bungee jumping, always making me tremble with fear.

The rumor that Otoko Castle was preparing for a great expedition had spread since the autumn harvest, but at that time, Urakami sent people to say that they would try to entangle the savior from the high elves. What happened? Not only did they fail, but they also helped the savior a lot, allowing him to get the title of King of the Elves that Noru had always dreamed of.

As for what Urakami had done, Phyllis, the only one who knew the inside story, never said anything. And Noru seemed to have given up and was too lazy to investigate further. She only knew that the current situation in Bijuu was very unfavorable to her.

Even though Noru ruled the forest elves as the great elder, the regime was not centralized. The city lords under his command were highly autonomous and had bad relationships with each other. They often argued over trivial matters such as land, which was completely a state of a large alliance.

If we use human historical knowledge to describe the current state of the forest elves, then "feudal fiefdom system" would be the most appropriate.

The orcs are very different from the forest elves in this respect. They are accustomed to being cruelly enslaved by the other party, which is commonly known as slavery.

From a modern perspective, a slave state is far more backward than a feudal state, and an orc state should be weaker than an elf. But the situation in Beizhou is even more abstract than that in the Slavic region, and the strength comparison between orcs and elves is completely beyond normal logic.

Of course, the fundamental reason why the elves cannot defeat the orcs lies not in the system, but in the elves themselves.

Those lords who were highly autonomous and had their own little plans, had no sense of unity at all. This was the main reason why the elves were defeated on the battlefield.

"Great Elder Noru!" Mizili's voice rang out again.

"Ah... Sorry, Mizili, what did you just say?" Noru, who was sitting on a high seat, finally came back to his senses from meditation, but at this time the audience hall was drowned out by the voices of other people.

Chapter 178 Noru doesn't want to sit and wait for death

As usual, the audience hall of Tenjinyama Castle was in an uproar, with quarrels between retainers and elders one after another.

Because the focus of the debate between the two sides was not on war or peace, this made Noru feel at ease, after all, it meant that the retainers and elders supported him as the chief elder. But if you listen carefully to what these people are discussing, to be honest, it is not much more than "heartbreaking".

"I heard that this time the savior was completely enraged by the previous assassination incident and is planning to take real action against us. The number of troops is several times greater than in previous battles! This is really bad, isn't it? What's worse is that he now not only holds the title of High Elf Lord and King of Elves, but his army also includes Dark Elves, High Elves, Hobbits, and even the Orc Tribe that fled from the Nigrams Empire!"

The "High Elf Lord" mentioned by the retainer here refers to the High Elf Saint Celestine. Her title is different in each elven tribe. The Dark Elves call her "High Elf Princess", a more neutral title.

"Humph, so what? Those orc tribes that surrendered to the dark elves are all weaklings eliminated by the Nigrams Empire and the Urakami Kingdom. They can be easily dealt with."

"Weaklings? That's only compared to the tough guys in the Black Beast Group. Besides, the Saviors have put a lot of effort into training them and also provided them with good equipment. The most powerful example is the hobbits. Since they joined the Saviors, their fighting power has been amazing. After the assassination incident, they were more active than the Saviors, weren't they?"

The key point of the dispute among the retainers was mainly the combat effectiveness and actual strength of the Otoko Castle troops, in order to calculate the combat power that Tenjinyama Castle needed to mobilize for this battle. However, it seemed that there was no result.

This is quite normal. After all, just quarreling at home won't tell you how many enemy troops there are. Intelligence needs to be gathered by specific people. What's the point of just imagining here?

Just as the elders and retainers in the audience hall were arguing over what intelligence to investigate, leaving Noru aside as a mascot, a voice came out. Although it might have been just a whisper to the speaker, it was clear as thunder in the noisy audience hall: "This is an invasion of unprecedented scale. According to our intelligence, the number of people is at least 10,000."

"who are you……"

"Stinking orcs... Greedy invaders..."

“Hey, hey, hey! Everyone, please don’t give those looks to our allies who came to help. After all, I brought three thousand elite soldiers with me to help.”

Maybe it was because the grudge between the elves and the orcs was too deep, but to the forest elves in the audience hall, the orcs' voices always carried a sense of tension and a strong smell of blood. Of course, this was not prejudice, after all, there were no orcs in this world who didn't have the blood of the elves on their hands.

But right now, the forest elf elders and retainers under Noru's command have long since stopped caring about these guys who brought them a bloody history. Let's first get past the savior!

Standing in front of everyone was the commander-in-chief of the Orc nation Urakami’s troops stationed in Bijuu, a troll named Org. He was a warrior who had earned a great reputation in Urakami and Bijuu with his brute force alone. Even the Black Orcs were afraid of him and respected him as a god of war. However, such a famous warrior had long been relegated to the low position of a thousand-man commander. The reason for this was all due to his unique personality.

One is that he relies on his superior strength and does what he wants. As a soldier, he hates to obey orders from others. He is arrogant, reckless, and difficult to discipline.

The second question is related to the first one. Because he is a strong warrior, his values are only based on force. "If you want to command me, you must knock me down in battle and beat me into submission." This is his code of conduct.

1 If he encounters someone stronger than himself, no matter whether the other person is his own or not, he will say something like "You look very strong. Try to spar with me." Then he will fight with the other person to the end, until one of them completely loses consciousness.

0 Because of this kind of character, he was not easily accepted even in the orc country where power was everything. This character caused frequent violent incidents against superior officers and nobles, and he was demoted more than a dozen times.

In the army, discipline is king, and those who disobey are considered a burden. If it weren't for Orger's superior strength, he would have been kicked out of the army long ago. There is another reason why he has not been punished too much, that is, such an unruly man always exudes a sense of freedom and boldness, and this aura can attract many people who also admire him.

Qi After all, this is an orc country. Doing what one wants and feeling refreshed by the use of force are the mainstream life of the orcs.

As the saying goes, "If one soldier is bad, the general will be bad too." With such a commander, his soldiers will do their own thing and be unruly. The 3 soldiers under his command are also a bunch of weirdos, all troublemakers. These soldiers, with their relationship as strong men who are not as strong as Org, have built a position like extraterritoriality with Org as the core, which the commanders and superiors of other troops cannot tolerate but cannot touch.

9At this time, Orger glanced at the forest elves around him, and after confirming that they were just some weak guys, a sly smile of a carnivore before hunting appeared on his face.

"Orger, I have something to ask you." Noru suddenly interrupted and became serious, pointing directly at the giant orc in front of him with a questioning tone.

If we put aside the stance of the girl, this scene of death looks like a little girl challenging an adult, which is quite interesting.

"Answer me with your orc warrior instinct. Why do you think the savior chose Tianshen Mountain City, which has a very complete defense system and is also the largest stronghold of the forest elves, as the target of attack? Was it to lure the surrounding forest elves out from their respective territories and then annihilate them one by one to eliminate our manpower, or..."

6 She looks like a little girl, but she has good vision and brains. But why did she do so many suffocating actions that were disadvantageous to herself? Is it because she lacked a good beating?

Orger felt Noru's sharp, piercing gaze, and after thinking for a while, he said slowly: "Perhaps, it's both. Does that man really want to unify Beizhou?"

"...That means we have to issue a general mobilization order, right?" Noru sighed.

There was an indescribable tension in Noru's voice. This was understandable.

Race, culture, religion... Just like there are many different countries within the same race, it is very difficult to create a unified country. Take the elves for example, the disputes and even wars between the forest elves and the dark elves have lasted for hundreds of years, and the disputes among the dark elves have also lasted for hundreds of years. Therefore, it is almost impossible to unite the elves living in the Beizhou Forest.

Therefore, the value of a savior who can lead such an army composed of dark elves, high elves and fleeing female orcs is self-evident.

To bring such a diverse race together, there must be obvious strength. For humans, intelligence and financial resources are also considered a kind of strength, but for orcs, the most important thing is military force. In other words, maybe this savior is really some kind of powerful and terrifying enemy. Is that the case?

Naru's body couldn't help but tremble. To be honest, if possible, she really hoped that the savior's troops would show up a little later. However, it would be a headache if it was too late. She tried to take a step forward to stretch her tight thighs, but her knees kept shaking.

You can clearly hear the thumping of the heart. It even makes you wonder if the heart will burst.

Then the teeth began to chatter.

Before the battle with the opponent began, Lin Nuolu's side had already lost in the heart.

Orger, who led 3 Urakami orc troops, shouted in a cheerful and refreshing voice, contrary to the gloomy faces of the forest elf elders and retainers in the audience hall: "Hahahaha. In other words, in the history of the elves and our Urakami Kingdom, there was only one large-scale war, and it happened again in our time. Is that what you mean?"

It seems that Orger is not afraid of the upcoming battle. After all, the opponent is a giant with a beast-like appearance. As a troll, he is over three meters tall, nearly twice the height of Naru. Half-naked, holding a steel stick, with a face full of ambition and murder, as if he is worried that he will not be able to fight, and may lose something important instead.

Orcs are like this, more eager to kill and plunder than to govern the country.

"…Mizili, order the leaders of all regions to mobilize their troops and come to Tianshen Mountain Castle. Do it as quickly as possible. Do you understand?"

"I will obey Jun's orders."

This was the first time that Noru realized the sense of crisis brought by the savior, and she had to be fully prepared.

"And, General Orger, please lend us a hand."

"Got it! You guys! Now it's time for a happy banquet, bring out the prepared weapons one after another!"

After Orger received permission to enter the city from Noru, he quickly gave orders to his men.

time is tight.

If the enemy is a large army, it will take a lot of time to organize such a large formation. This is especially true if there are various races. However, this is also the case for Nauru. Since it is an army, it will take time to prepare.

Even in the rear.

There are so many things to do. There is no time to relax.

Chapter 179: The Army

Although the land of Ichigobi Province has not been at peace for a while, whether from Otoshi Castle in the west or Nagisa Castle in the east, the air is filled with the smell of blood, but the joy of the harvest is still like warm sunshine, penetrating the haze and illuminating the hearts of every resident.

As the year is coming to an end, there seems to be no major moves by all parties in Beizhou, and many people are thinking, "Maybe, I can have a comfortable year this year."

In mid-November, near the end of the year, an unprecedentedly large army of elves shattered everyone's dream of a peaceful New Year. This army set out from Otoshi Castle in a mighty force, heading straight for Tenjinyama Castle in the east.

The reason why they said it was "unprecedented for the elves" was that since the elves settled in Beizhou, the dark elves in the west had always been the ones to be beaten and bullied. Whether it was the black beast group in the north, or the forest elves and the Urakami coalition forces in the east, they would come to harass them from time to time, making the dark elves, who were already surrounded by enemies, even more miserable.

"Eat, sleep, and fight dark elves." To the dark elves, this joke was like an icy knife cutting through their hearts. This was the true reflection of their lives.

However, all this changed quietly after Lin Rui came to the dark elf tribe.

In just a few months, Lin Rui invented a series of novel gadgets, from building blocks that children loved, chess, and black and white chess, to papermaking and printing that could change the fate of the country, to salt and sugar making technology, and even introduced cash crops and advanced farming methods, enriching the material and spiritual life of the entire territory.

Of course, all this knowledge was obtained by "cheating" with the Elf Administrator System, especially the seeds of cash crops, which were forced out of the ground by the system. But now Lin Rui has long lost the cautiousness he had when he first started using the administrator system, and every day he is enjoying the affluent life he once dreamed of.

Although the days of being a lord are boring, everything he does is to enrich the material life of his people. In addition, he can enjoy the elves and orcs in the territory as he pleases, so Lin Rui's personal spiritual life is also quite rich.

At least for Lin Rui, having enough to eat, warm clothes to wear, and having beautiful girls around to serve him at any time, such a life is enough.

Perhaps it was because of this kind of life that he subconsciously regarded the people of the entire territory as his harem, or "family".

Therefore, he was determined to protect the hard-earned peace of the six lives and prevent the three of them from being bullied like the four before.

I remember that after defeating the orcs in the first battle, facing the wounded soldiers all over the city and the blood behind the victory, Lin Rui discussed with Olga and Chloe why the dark elves wanted to fight the black orcs to the end. Olga's answer still echoes in his ears:

"Indeed, in fact, at the most critical moment, I also thought about surrendering. As long as I handed over my head, the orcs would at most plunder Otoko Castle and rape the girls before returning. If it was just for a day or two, as long as we hid well, we wouldn't all be in trouble."

"Plunder? Rape? Do you still have to hand over your head, Olga, even though you've surrendered? We've already been occupied, and Otoko Castle is under the control of the Black Beast Group. I don't understand why they want to plunder the people they already control."

Lin Rui's innocent question at that time was met with Olga's furrowed brows and Chloe's disappointed face. In the end, Olga felt that some things had to be made clear, so she nodded with an expression of "I can understand your thoughts, but please listen to me" and slowly said: "Savior, you may come from a peaceful and prosperous place. War is like a beast imprisoned in the heart. Once released, it will devour people's hearts. No matter how gentle and polite a sage is in daily life, once he has experienced killing, he will not stop easily without completely releasing the haze in his heart."

Lin Rui was speechless for a moment and had no answer.

At that time, he had already become very familiar with the people in Ottoshi City, and even established a negative distance friendship with many store managers. The various things he invented were also the key to making the streets of Ottoshi City gradually prosperous. Every time he walked on the street, he often received gifts from strangers.

Of course, there were also these girls. Lin Rui couldn't accept the thought that if he lost, everyone would be ravaged without exception.

This sense of responsibility as a lord, master, husband, boyfriend, and lover is like the sword of Damocles hanging over his head as he leads the army forward, reminding him not to relax at all times.

ETwo days had passed since we set out from Toishi Castle. In the sky, cotton-like snowflakes fluttered in the wind, lightly falling into the dark cloud-covered sky. Even the coastal path that extended to the south and was surrounded by warm currents was covered with a layer of white, and the earth presented a solemn scene.

The cold winter wind was as biting as ice beer, blowing across my cheeks, and my exhaled breath instantly condensed into white mist.

lin "Wow... Why is it so cold today? It turns out to be the first snow of the year. Winter has really come."

Lin Rui, riding on the back of a unicorn, was chattering his teeth. He curled up his body, faced the winter wind, and followed closely behind the large group.

3 "Master! Good morning!"

"Good morning, Master! As a soldier under your command, it is my greatest honor to have followed you to achieve a great victory in the last battle!"

Lin Rui, now, is a savior that even the rough orcs will salute respectfully, and the leader of the dark elves. Therefore, he must always maintain an upright posture and show the majesty that a savior should have.

Four "Oh, it's very cold today. You guys have worked hard."

The soldiers passed by Lin Rui and greeted him one after another, and Lin Rui comforted them one by one with words.

"Yes!" The female soldiers who received Lin Rui's greeting responded with flushed faces in excitement, and their huge breasts under the armor trembled with their energetic bodies.

In the eyes of these elves and orc soldiers, Lin Rui is the hero who saved the dark elves from the brink of extinction and saved their own lord. He is an invincible god of war on the battlefield.

He had never lost a battle, and led the people of Otoko Castle, turning Otoko Castle into a hero of a great contemporary country in the blink of an eye.

Therefore, when these soldiers saw Lin Rui, they hoped to give birth to powerful offspring with him. This was the most natural and simple expression of emotion between elves and orcs.

"Hehehe. The master is acting more and more like a savior." The head of a beautiful silver-haired dark elf girl who looked quite afraid of the cold popped out from the black carriage that had been following behind him.

Her name is Iblin, she is the general that Lin Rui relies on the most, and the younger sister of Diluwa. She is mainly responsible for Lin Rui's daily life and also handles his physiological problems when he is dissatisfied. As a maid, she is one of the many non-combatants in this expedition.

Originally, Lin Rui did not intend to take her with him to the battle. After all, he had many girls around him, and there was no need to bring someone who could not fight with him. But the girl insisted and even went on a hunger strike to protest. In the end, there was really no other way, and Lin Rui could only stuff Ibrin into the carriage accompanying the army.

"After all, I have practiced hard on weekdays." Although he has always been regarded as a savior by the dark elves and has spoiled these girls a lot on weekdays, it is one thing to spoil them in bed and another to talk to them in public. It is still very awkward for Lin Rui, who has always received a good family education, to talk to a person who is a hundred or even several hundred years older than him.

Therefore, practice is still necessary.

shhhhhhhh

"ah!"
