Zongman: Start by becoming the savior of the elves!

“Even so, Dishi City can’t escape the fate of becoming the front line, right? If Tianjin Port can’t hold on, Great Elder Noru will definitely order reinforcements to all cities…” Nolin’s voice gradually became low, and it seemed that even she herself was not willing to face such a possibility.

Phyllis smiled as if it had nothing to do with her. "Don't worry, Norin. If it really comes to that, Sanshi City will never stand idly by and will definitely support you. To be honest, I have established a solid intelligence network with the Urakami merchants in Otoko City. Any movement of the dark elves will not escape our eyes."

"Uragami..." Norin muttered softly, with a hint of doubt in her eyes. Like most forest elves, she did not trust Urakami, so she was a little surprised at Phyllis' close cooperation with Urakami.

But Phyllis seemed very proud: "Don't worry, Norin. I will not be intimidated by the threats of the dark elves. Those guys who proposed to establish a joint defense agreement with the dark elves, humiliating themselves. Do you think the dark elves will appreciate it? It will only make the dark elves take advantage of us. If we keep giving in, the entire Beizhou will fall into their control sooner or later. Making friends with the dark elves is really a bad move. That Luxie, if you don't understand government affairs, don't get involved. You just give up all these bad ideas."

Phyllis said a lot.

Norin listened for a long time and finally couldn't help but interrupt: "Having said that, the savior did defeat the troublesome Black Beast Group after all. Just in case, maybe we should..." There was a hint of hesitation and uneasiness in her voice.

"Savior? That brat?" Phyllis interrupted with disdain. "Don't expect him to achieve anything great. How many years have we lived on this land? What can a foreigner like him know? He wants to show off in front of us? Dream on!"

Phyllis' words were full of dissatisfaction and contempt for Lin Rui. It was obvious that she really didn't like Lin Rui.

Just as Phyllis was trying to weave an invisible net to quietly win over Norin, an important figure guarding the border, to her side, an elven knight walked into the room with light steps.

"Lord Norin. Lady Mizili is here. She is waiting for your audience."

Upon hearing this, Phyllis's eyes flashed with helplessness, then she gracefully bowed and said softly: "In that case, I'll take my leave first." Every move she made made people feel that she had an indescribable intention, always giving people a feeling that she was hinting at something.

Mizili came to Whetstone City this time to complete the task of Great Elder Noru to collect opinions from the city lords of each city, that is, who the forest elves should stand with. As a strong shield guarding the border, Norin of the Anhalt family was naturally the focus of the consultation.

This is why Phyllis chose to avoid it. Originally, Great Elder Noru gave her an important mission to go to Urakami to find out the direction and attitude of the country. However, after a few days, Phyllis did not leave the country, but instead started a busy schedule in the country, shuttling between major ministers and visiting everywhere. If this move was noticed by Mizili, it would most likely be regarded as forming a clique for personal gain. She had already been questioned by the other party for proposing the military expansion plan.

Mizili was wearing quite revealing clothes today. However, her gaze was terribly cold. This forest elf woman, whose status was comparable to that of a prime minister, brought up a conversation about the future of the forest elves: "The great elder expressed the hope that the mayors of each city can decide whether we should join hands with the Urakami Kingdom or form an alliance with the dark elves based on the collective interests of us forest elves."

Mizuri handed over the letter while reporting. No one answered. Norin of the Anhalt family read the letter.

"I see. Let's discuss and decide together." Nolin muttered. It's good news that everyone can discuss together. It means that everyone has the right to express their opinions. It also means that even if something unexpected happens, the decision maker will not be held responsible. Nolin saw through the meaning of the great elder Noru at a glance. She then probed: "Then, what does the great elder say? The elders' meeting should have discussed it."

Mizili's answer was brief and vague: "The Great Elder's intention is to hope that you can make a decision based on consultation. So I can't say anything."

Norin sneered softly and said, "You can't say that. This is the front line. Any decision made by the Council of Elders will determine whether this place will become a model of exchange between the two countries or a battlefield. Lord Mizili, you are also an old man in the Council of Elders. Tell me, in all the previous Council of Elders, especially when it comes to diplomacy, the opinions of us border city lords have never been considered, but the problem is that we are the ones who have to make the final decision. So please help me pass on a message. I hope to increase the voice of the frontline cities in the Council of Elders in the future. After all, we are the first line of defense against invaders. Any decision made by the Great Elder will have a greater impact on us than on others."

Mizili was silent for a moment, as if she was weighing the weight of Norin's words. Finally, she nodded gently: "I understand. I hope Lord Norin will pay attention to the defense agreement."

"Of course! After all, this concerns the life and death of thousands of people in Dishi City!"

After saying this, Norin signaled with his eyes to send the guest away.

Chapter 64: Uninvited Guests at Tenjinyama Castle and Mizili's Worries

In a corner of the Tianshen Mountain City, the residence of the forest elf elder Noru, in a brightly lit tavern, ten male orcs sat together proudly, holding glasses filled with bitter liquor in their hands, with an indescribable heaviness and pessimism between them. Their eyes flashed with helplessness about the past and confusion about the future, and every time they clinked glasses, it seemed like they were doing a silent protest.

The guy sitting in the middle looks like a male orc from the Nigramus Empire, the hometown of the Black Orcs.

"Come on, everyone, let's drink this glass of wine. There is still a long way to go in the future. Let's blame that savior. Ever since he defeated General Bolt's men at Otoko Castle in one fell swoop, General Bolt has been conscripting men in the country like crazy in order to save face in the court. We brothers have spent money like water to avoid that fire pit. It's so miserable. How could this savior go against the Black Beast Group? He is just a stud who relies on the weapon between his legs to coax the dark elves around! Can't he just lie on the bed and let the elves do it? What a disgusting guy!" The orc man said indignantly under the influence of alcohol.

As if she had been waiting for this opportunity, a graceful female forest elf sitting at the opposite table raised her glass with a playful smile, as if silently mocking his words: "Humph! Orcs are just a bunch of bullies! For those of you who don't know the dark elves, you might think that the savior only rose to power because of the admiration of the dark elves. You know, no one in Yizi City dares to say a word against the savior. But he is a powerful person.

When the savior first became the lord of Otoko Castle, all the dark elves in the western part of Bijuu ignored him. Diluwa even regarded the savior as an enemy and led his army to attack the savior’s home city, Otoko Castle. However, the savior was broad-minded and forgave the past. After defeating Diluwa, he absorbed her as a retainer and even personally awarded the defeated general the title of Dark Elf General. Not only did he give her enough face, he also took her into the harem, enjoying supreme grace every day and being extremely happy. Not only Diluwa, but also those prisoners of war from Jin Port accepted the blessing of the savior, allowing them all to evolve into rune elves. He saved the dark elves from the split. The savior is such a broad-minded master. Now, in the entire Bijuu area, except for our forest elves, mountain elves and Urakami Kingdom, who would say that the savior is not right. "

"That's right!" Her fellow forest elf nodded in agreement. Under the hypnosis of alcohol, the forest elf woman spoke more and more: "Look at the northern part of Beizhou. Those dark elf tribes that once wavered under the shadow of the Black Beast Group, all stood aside when faced with the threat of the Black Beast Group. Some even secretly colluded with the enemy and provided supplies to the Black Beast Group during the war in order to obtain the Black Beast Group's exemption from plunder. However, the victorious savior not only did not settle accounts later, but instead taught farming techniques to everyone so that everyone could have enough food. With such a wise master, how could everyone not sincerely regard the savior as their master. Therefore, in the entire Beizhou, except for us, no one dares to say bad things about the savior. The savior is the most supported!"

"To be honest, if there is no savior, Beizhou will be finished. No, without the savior, there will be no Beizhou. To protect our home, the best way is to let the savior become the king of all elves!"

"Long live the savior!" A forest elf was the first to raise his glass and shout, his voice was clear and pleasant, like a beautiful melody.

"Long live the savior!" The other elves responded one after another. The crisp sound of clinking glasses intertwined and echoed in every corner of the tavern.

The moment she left Dishi City, Mizili breathed a sigh of relief as if she had broken free from her shackles. She was not afraid of anyone. Although the Lord of Dishi City, Norin, was a vassal who guarded a region, she was not a bully. The other party's request to increase her voice in the Council of Elders was a reasonable request.

What really upset Mi Jiuzili was the trouble maker who had been causing trouble since the elders' meeting, the lord of Sanshi City, the mountain elf Phyllis.

When he stepped over the threshold of the reception room under the guidance of the elf knight, his sensitive nose caught her unique body fragrance in the air. Combined with the faint warmth and irregular sitting marks left on the sofa, it can be basically concluded that the person who had talked to Norin before was Phyllis who had just left.

To be honest, Mizili had an indescribable aversion to Phyllis. That girl always seemed to be floating and ready to explode at any time. Her strength did not match her ambition, but she always dreamed of controlling everything. Recalling the scene at the elders' meeting, everyone was discussing the future direction of diplomacy, but Phyllis suddenly brought up the issue of expanding armaments.

Who can't see through this little trick? They say it's for the good of everyone, but in fact, they just want to take this opportunity to strengthen their own power so that they can become a local lord in the future.

Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by.

If such a person really had a large army and sufficient strength, how could he be willing to be inferior to others? It would definitely cause greater trouble. I am afraid that by then, Sanshi City and even the entire mountain elf tribe will face an unprecedented catastrophe.

The mountain elves really have a bad city lord.

Mizili felt sympathy for the mountain elves in her heart.

That's why Great Elder Noru chose me as the messenger to collect the opinions of the city lords. I used the title of "Slaughter Spirit" which was quite important to be able to deal with the city lords with ease. If it was the gentle and lovely Lu Xie, I'm afraid the venue would immediately turn into a petition meeting. At that time, with Lu Xie's good-natured personality, she would definitely say "I've got it in mind, Great Elder Noru will definitely give everyone a satisfactory answer" or "I will definitely convince Great Elder Noru to discuss this matter calmly."

These words may sound heartwarming, but they are actually hard to solve the real problem. They are only said to appease the city lords. But people's hearts are unpredictable. Some city lords may really take Luxie's words seriously, or pretend to take them seriously, and use Luxie's words to ask for power from the great elder Noru. At that time, the one who will be pushed to the forefront may be the great elder Noru himself.

Because of this, the important task of visiting Otoshi Castle fell on Luce's shoulders. Her gentleness and patience, coupled with her advocacy of the elves' unity and cooperation, might be able to resolve some of the conflicts between the two sides.

To be fair, among all the forces around the Forest Elves, the one with military talent is the Savior of Otoko Castle. By establishing a relationship with the Dark Elves, strengthening the power of the elves, and allowing everyone to evolve into Rune Elves, all of this makes the Dark Elves have decisive power.

Therefore, a deterioration in the relationship with the Savior is definitely not a good thing.

Perhaps, in the end, Lushe's plan is the most feasible. Achieving great unity among the elves is beneficial to everyone. But unfortunately, most of the forest elves lack such political awareness, including the forest elf elder Noru.

So, what would the Savior do after reading that letter, the handwritten letter from Great Elder Noru?

A normal person would be angry. The savior would be the same. The question is, how would he be angry?

Chapter 65 Diplomatic Envoy Lucy

This is Tsuyama Castle, the heart of Sakushu, a province in northern Bishu.

After learning that his men had suffered the biggest defeat of the Black Beast Corps since its establishment in Otoko City, the leader of the Black Beast Corps, Bolt, with a flame of unwillingness, burned towards Otoko City, the stronghold of the dark elves.

I vowed to burn it to the ground.

Thinking that he had fought for more than ten years without a single defeat, whatever Bolt wanted, whether it was a beauty or a piece of land, he could get it as easily as taking something out of his sack. But now, Yizi City, which had lost the protection of the sacred tree, had only a few thousand dark elves, who not only did not surrender like fallen leaves and welcome the king's army with food and drink, but instead used their meager strength to resist the heavenly soldiers. This was a mantis trying to stop a chariot, which was intolerable. My uncle could tolerate it, but my aunt couldn't tolerate it either.

According to his temper, he should immediately lead the Black Beast Group and kill all the way to Otoko Castle. All those who resisted, the men would be killed directly, and after all the women had their turn, they would eventually become the miserable footnotes of the victors outside the city gate, pierced by rows of sharp spears, to serve as a warning to others.

However, the empire was filled with undercurrents and fierce power struggles. Bolt, the leader of the Black Beasts, was also deeply involved and had no way to extricate himself. Especially recently, the nobles once again spoke to the emperor, saying that the Black Beasts were unruly and attempted to abolish the Black Beasts. Just for this matter, the furious Bolt almost had a real fight with those nobles.

Even if the royal family investigates or the judicial system intervenes, it is still very difficult to make the feudal nobles pay the legal price. The nobles of this land will surely say, "I didn't know this plant could be the raw material of banned drugs." Or they will put the blame on the villagers, saying that they acted on their own initiative.

This is the current situation of the Nigrams Empire. It is also the reason why the famous general Bolt has been tied up in these years and dared not leave the imperial capital.

In this case, it was only natural that General Kahn, one of Bolt's most capable generals, was entrusted with the important task of conquering Beishu. Along with him, there were about 1 professionally trained elite Black Beasts. They came to Zuozhou like a dark cloud, aiming directly at Otoshi Castle.

When he arrived at Tsuyama Castle, he received a letter from Shayok, a merchant who had previously gone to Otoshi Castle to meet Lin Rui.

The letter said that neither the forest elves nor the dark elves had been preparing for war recently. The dark elves were busy developing the granary area, preparing to store enough food for the winter before winter came; as for the forest elves, although they believed that the dark elves would go to war with them because of the problem of Tianjin Port, they also analyzed that the dark elves were not in a position to mobilize soldiers on a large scale recently through the dark elves' crazy development of the granary area, so they did not take any precautions.

This is a godsend.

After reading the letter, Kahn suddenly came up with a plan.

He knew well that the elves were fragile and could not compete with the iron-blooded orcs.

Since defeating the Black Beastmen, Otoko Castle has become the hope of the Bijuu elves to resist the orcs. If they choose to destroy it now, not only will the elves' will to resist collapse, but it will also show the invincibility of the Black Beastmen. Without the need for fighting, the elves in Bijuu can tremble with intimidation alone.

"All soldiers, listen up. Take a good rest these few days to get rid of all the fatigue from the long journey. After that, we will enter the military preparation state!" General Kahn's voice resounded throughout the military camp, with unquestionable determination and domineering attitude.

It was an afternoon with gentle sunshine and a light breeze, and the air seemed to be filled with the fragrance of tranquility and expectation. Iblin walked lightly into Lin Rui's office, followed by Chloe, who looked solemn. She brought an unusual news:

"Report to the master, Tianshen Mountain City has sent an envoy."

When Lin Rui heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across his brows, and then a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Tian Shen Mountain City? Envoys? This is rare. Did they realize that I was going to take action against them? Or did they come for Tianjin Port?"

He turned and asked, with a hint of curiosity in his tone: "Who is this messenger?"

"It's a girl." Chloe answered simply, but it caused ripples in the room.

A woman? Lin Rui pondered in his heart, imagining various possibilities. But after careful consideration, he found that there seemed to be nothing worth pondering.

Because the current situation of the forest elves is similar to that of the dark elves, there are only females and no males. Chloe's statement "she is a woman" is too broad.

At this time, Olga, Diruwa and several dark elf elders had gathered in Lin Rui's private office. They were either sitting or standing, their eyes all focused on the visitor who was about to be revealed.

As the door opened slightly, a forest elf woman came into view. Under Chloe's guidance, she sat quietly on the sofa, emitting an indescribable nobility and indifference. Even when facing the gazes of everyone, she did not show the slightest movement.

"This woman is quite famous." Olga lowered her voice and said to Lin Rui, with a complex light flashing in her eyes.

"Oh?" Lin Rui and Olga looked at each other and saw the same surprise in each other's eyes.

"It is said that she is the confidant of the great elder of the forest elves, Noru, and her status is almost comparable to that of Mizili." There was a hint of solemnity in Olga's words.

"Is he such a powerful guy?"

When Mizili was mentioned, a tense atmosphere suddenly filled the room. After all, she was a forest elf woman who had easily manipulated the situation in Otsuko Castle and Jin Port and eventually captured Jin Port without bloodshed.

Is Tenjinyama Castle sending an envoy again this time, trying to repeat what happened in Tianjin Port?

He cast a questioning look at the other party with full vigilance.

The visitor introduced herself as Lucy. She bowed gracefully and said softly, "Greetings, Lord Savior. I am Lucy Menelumia, a forest elf from the God Mountain City."

After saying this, he bowed his head respectfully.

Oh! What a beautiful woman.

Lin Rui almost shouted out.

This forest elf beauty is like a honey flower fairy walking out of the morning light of the forest. Her skin is white and soft, just like the first snow. Her long straight honey-colored hair falls down like a waterfall, setting off her jade-like skin. She has an elegant temperament and a gentle smile. Her lips, as tender as cherry blossoms, are slightly parted, seductive and unforgettable.

Although she didn't apply any makeup, her skin was still very delicate. Her elegant temperament and neat facial features seemed to be saying that she was so beautiful that she didn't need anything extra.

As for the clothes

The level of exposure is no different from that of a nympho... Although it fits well and there is no accessories, it seems to be to emphasize the outline of the chest. The chest is wide open to reveal soft and plump big breasts, belly button and feet are also all exposed, and the split in the skirt is also ridiculously high, showing the bare thighs as smooth as honey.

The whole dress is tight, and the subtle shape of the lower abdomen is very clear... Overall, Luché's body curve is quite perfect and quite feminine.

This beauty is hundreds of times more beautiful than any idol in the world.

It was the first time that Lin Rui, who was sitting behind his desk, had such close contact with a non-hostile forest elf. He could not help but be a little dazed. He secretly sighed in his heart that the beauty and figure of this elf were just like the heroine in a comic book.

No matter how many times I look at it, that face is just too beautiful... and, the clothes... it's almost as if she's not wearing any clothes... It's so scary, she actually dares to dress like that.

It seems that in this world, the elves have no concept of shame.

All the elves in the house noticed that Lin Rui was completely controlled by Luxie, the forest elf. They felt mixed emotions. Compared with Luxie who was showing a business-like smile, Olga, Chloe, Diluwa, Iblin and even Eluda all looked dissatisfied.

Especially Iblin and Elda, seeing them mumbling to each other, "Why... Why do I feel a stabbing pain in my chest..." "Who is that guy? Why does the master always stare at her!" and so on, it always feels a bit scary.

As for Diluo and Chloe, they were also whispering, "Humph, she only knows how to sway her big tits. What a bitch that can seduce men." "Kill her."

Just pretend you didn’t hear it.

In the end, it was Olga who made Lin Rui self-destruct to ease the tension in the room: "Master... the forest elves are similar to us, because they hardly encounter males, so they are not afraid of being seen no matter how much they expose. Of course, we will still pay attention to our appearance in public places with many people outside."

"Don't, don't read my thoughts! Sorry, I was rude just now."

Lin Rui ignored Olga's complaints and quickly apologized to Luxie. Luxie laughed and said:

"No need to apologize. It was my negligence. I forgot that the savior is a hot-blooded boy. We forest elves like to let our skin touch the air. This is very helpful for us to use magic. Because the source of the magic power we use is... floating in the air." She continued to introduce herself, "Well, I'm only halfway through my self-introduction. My interests are researching and making medicines, and browsing ancient documents that record the culture of certain races... Hehe, how can I make medicine? I'm not sure if I can do it. I'm not sure if I can do it.

Lin Rui followed up Olga's question and asked, "Actually, Olga's question is exactly what I wanted to ask. You forest elves have a good relationship with Urakami, so why did you suddenly want to make peace with us dark elves?"

Luxie seemed to have expected this question. She bowed respectfully to Lin Rui and said slowly, "Savior, you are right, but please listen to me. The reason why Great Elder Noru is close to Urakami is out of helplessness. The savior should know that with the disappearance of the Holy Tree of Elves, all the elves have lost the protection of the Holy Tree, and everyone has to find new shelter. Just like Lady Olga chose a savior of human origin, we are all looking for a ray of hope for our respective tribes."

After hearing this, Olga was speechless for a moment.

Indeed, although it is not an upright act for the forest elves to surrender to the orcs, it is not shameful for the dark elves to find a human male as their savior. You know, in this world, humans are evil beings comparable to the devil. Otherwise, the elves would not be persecuted for this. See Chapter 1 of Volume 1 for details.

Seeing this, Luxie took the opportunity to hand over the letter from Great Elder Noru: "I came here with the sincerity of the Great Elder. We, the forest elves, hope to join hands with the dark elves and other elven tribes to establish a strong offensive and defensive alliance to jointly protect the Beizhou Forest. As for the meeting place, we will choose Whetstone City. At that time, we will all nominate a leader who can lead us."

After saying that, he handed over the letter.

"In Dishi City?" Lin Rui asked softly with a hint of doubt in his voice.

Why did they choose this Dishi City? Olga and Diluwa looked at each other, both puzzled. Putting aside the concerns about the Hongmen Banquet, even if it was to facilitate a peace meeting between the two heads of state, they should have chosen a neutral place or a buffer zone on the border between the two countries.

"That's right. Lord Savior." Luxie's voice was gentle and firm. Although she met Lin Rui for the first time, her thorough investigation beforehand had made her believe in the potential of this young leader. She secretly hoped that if she could take this opportunity, she could not only reach a consensus on cooperation between the two tribes, but also hope that Lin Rui could become a leader who led the elves to unite. This admiration almost overflowed with her words.

However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a sudden change. Lin Rui took the letter and his face suddenly changed, as if he had seen something incredible.

What is written on this?

"It's amazing that the great elder could write that." Lin Rui's eyes flashed with anger as he looked straight at Lu Xie.

"Ah? Lord Savior, what happened?" Zhongq: Yilin6jiu" Si Canluxie looked bewildered. She did not see the secret in the letter, so she was puzzled by Lin Rui's sudden change.

"What exactly is written in this letter?" Lin Rui handed the letter to Olga, who was also confused. Diruwa also quickly came closer, and the three of them read together.

The content on the letter was like a thunderclap, shocking everyone present.

It says:

In order to fight against the invasion of the Black Beast Group, the Forest Elves are willing to form an offensive and defensive alliance with the Urakami Kingdom. However:

1. Ensure the sovereignty of the forest elves in the Beizhou area.
