Chapter 263 Benefits
The other party showed a pensive expression, and then nodded slightly at Tang Zhao: "This is not the first time we have been attacked, but you are the first guest to follow up to investigate, thank you for your enthusiasm, I will tell the news to the military council of."

The elf didn't reveal too much information to him, but he also gave him the bottom line.

Among the guests invited by the other party or the messengers who were simply on their way, many people were attacked. This was obviously a warning, and of course the elves would not sit idly by such provocative behavior.

Several times the number of patrols have been sent out, and they are patrolling all over the elf kingdom, searching for any possible dangerous places.

There must be a reason for this behavior of exposing oneself, but the elves haven't found the specific reason yet, but no matter how you look at it, the other party has a lot of plans.

They are now gradually shrinking their forces, and the entire city has been put into a state of martial law to deal with possible threats.

Generally speaking, the elves are optimistic about the situation, because the city is indeed strong enough to not be threatened by most enemies.

The white city wall more than ten meters high stretches across the horizon like a spectacle. The entire city wall was built with magic, and then reinforced several times with the special crafts of the elves. Even if it is bombarded with the latest artillery of the dwarves, it is difficult to loosen the structure. , has only a slight effect on it.

The elves are not like Tang Zhao, who lack air power. On the contrary, their falcon cavalry is no worse than any mainstream air power. The number is their only disadvantage, and this disadvantage will be reduced in the defense battle, not fifty thousand It is very difficult for the regular army and supporting powerhouses to even threaten this city.

Tang Zhao also tried to suggest to them to postpone the meeting a little bit, and then send troops from allies such as humans, but they were dismissed lightly by the elves.

Oran can have a civilization of the current scale, which is absolutely inseparable from the guidance and support of the elves. With the proud character of the elves, they see themselves as human guides, not equal allies.

When they need help but cannot see the danger for the time being, they will easily see the coffin and not cry, thinking that there is no need to damage the majesty of the elves and seek help.

On the surface, Tang Zhao agreed to agree, but he also had his own ideas behind the scenes.

"Can you give me the right to move freely during special times? I want to investigate this matter again, because my old acquaintances are involved."

"No problem, you carry this token with you, which is equivalent to acknowledging that you are a commander at the level of the legion commander. I don't think any soldiers will stop you. I have communicated with the nobles of several other families in advance."

Tang Zhao's request was already expected, and the luxuriously dressed elf took out another badge with complicated incantations and handed it to Tang Zhao. Since he didn't have it in his hands, he also assigned two adjutants to accompany him. It is a contact person.

This is not an ordinary thing. It is equivalent to acknowledging that he has the power of the legion commander and can enjoy all the corresponding privileges. It is undoubtedly a kind of favor, but the cost is not too big.

He belongs to the kind of fiefdom with his own soldiers, and he doesn't need much from the elves, so it's not a loss to win over Tang Zhao at this price.

He also understood this, accepted the gift, and then left the courtyard.

He first went to find his attendants and told them to ride back on a vulture to deliver a letter. The letters were sent to Karak Solma's acting council and Oran's Queen Julia, telling them to prepare for war. , and send troops over as soon as possible, dispatching to the position of the southern elves.

Now there is still room for both of them, sending troops over will at most provide some money and food, if you guess wrong, it will be very troublesome, the enemy is in the dark, I don’t know what they can do, so it’s better to be fully prepared.

He has participated in many wars from east to west, from north to south, and Tang Zhao is considered experienced from various angles. During the period of waiting for the personnel to arrive, he has been patrolling the entire city with his own authority.

After watching for several days and nights, until the two adjutants couldn't hold on anymore, Tang Zhao had to admit that the elves' self-confidence was well-founded, and he really didn't find any problems.

The configuration and protection that the elves can do are basically done, and they are very pleasing to the eye, down to the slightest detail.

There is a thick foundation under the city wall to prevent the engineers from digging it down, the sewers are included in the system, and there is a fine network of outpost systems and transportation systems on the outskirts of the city. If the city is attacked, all the elves in the entire kingdom can be dispatched within a week. Come here, it's a short time for a siege.

The fly in the ointment is the coastal defense. They listened to Tang Zhao's advice this time, and immediately dispatched more than 50 warships to patrol, and it seemed that there was no problem.

If Karak Solma or Julia insisted on asking for specific reasons at this time, then Tang Zhao would really have a hard time answering, because he couldn't really say "out of intuition" to deal with errands.

Under such circumstances, the guests attending the meeting finally expired, and guests from all over the kingdom and even the mainland gathered in the city's council hall to participate in the reception banquet.

The banquet was very elf-style - light vegetarian food, lengthy diplomatic words, and ritualized procedures. Except for the music and singing that could arouse Tang Zhao's interest a little bit, he showed a lack of interest in other things.

He took a little look at the members present - most of them were nobles from all over the kingdom. It is said that there are two dragons who also live in the forest in the kingdom. This time they also came to join in the fun. several humans.

After all, there are also human strongholds in the Elven Kingdom, together with Oran's envoys, they constitute one of the few diversified components other than Tang Zhao.

The banquet was held intermittently for two days before entering the formal discussion stage. There were actually two main topics, one was about the dwarves, and the other was about the elves in the west.

The part about the elves went pretty well. After all, they are members of the same family. No matter how fierce the fight is, the two sides still fight within the rules. Now they are facing the threat of being wiped out by magicians and hobgoblins. As members of the same family, they naturally You can't sit idly by, even if it's to maintain the remaining prestige of the elves themselves.

The elf who approached Tang Zhao vividly painted a beautiful picture—from the western elves to Karak Solma, passing through Oran to the elf kingdom, a commercial artery that communicates things, and there is no need to go by sea. They are not very friendly dwarves territory, they can obtain all the necessary supplies in the western continent, and then radiate and spread to the surrounding areas, which can bring huge economic benefits, no one can ignore it.

Attack the hobgoblins, the important enemies of the elves, maintain the same race, gain money, and increase allies. The elves can see their own interests in it, and they don't need to pay too much cost. Of course, there is no need to refuse.
