Chapter 19 We Need New Allies

This problem is a big trouble for both the emperor and his ministers.

Is there something that we can obtain in large quantities here, has a high energy content, and after being transported over, can be used to balance the military rations?
Elizabeth couldn't help but fall into deep thought...

At this moment, the captain of the guards suddenly raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, hide quickly."

Then he shouted to all the guards, "Everyone hide, leaving only the cat-men outside, and all the human guards, hide in the house."

Elizabeth: "What's wrong?"

The chief of the guards pointed to the eastern sky and said, "The scout eagle of the strategist Ugumantai is coming."

Elizabeth looked up and saw a cold blue light in the eastern sky. A reconnaissance eagle transformed by magic flew towards the sky above the cat village at an extremely fast speed.

All humans quickly hid, leaving only the cat people active in the village.

The reconnaissance eagle appeared overhead in an instant.

The cats raised their heads and let out a low "kakaka" growl from their throats.

This is the sound that the cat people like to make when they catch birds.

The reconnaissance eagle did not dare to land for reconnaissance. The mage who controlled it knew that the cat-people had extraordinary jumping ability. If the cat-people used the roof or treetops for a double jump, they could jump to a height of dozens of yards. If the reconnaissance eagle flew at a low altitude, it would be courting death.

It had no choice but to fly high over the cat village, and its reconnaissance was quite sloppy.

After flying over the cat-people village, it swept across a large forest, made a big circle, and returned to a small human town on the edge of the western forest. There was a small army in the town, with only about two hundred soldiers.

The troops were led by a knight in heavy black armor, with a black-robed wizard standing next to him. The reconnaissance eagle landed on the wizard's arm, whispered something, and then turned into light particles and disappeared.

The wizard turned to the knight and said, "We found no trace of Elizabeth and her group."

The knight nodded, his black helmet flashing two cold eyes: "Keep looking! His Majesty the King will not be able to sleep peacefully until she is dead."
-
"The Scout Hawk is gone."

The chief guard came out of the room and looked up at the sky: "Everyone can come out now."

Elizabeth and the other guards came out from their hiding places.

Their faces all looked serious.

Elizabeth encountered a palace coup when she was four years old. After escaping, she lived incognito for 16 years and was never discovered by the patriot Ugumantai. But not long ago, she tried to contact her old subordinates and wrote a letter to a black knight who was loyal to her mother before, hoping that he would stand on her side.

But the Black Knight immediately delivered the letter to the patriot, and then the pursuers came.

nausea!

This is really disgusting. This also caused Elizabeth to shift the focus of winning over the "sub-humans" and she no longer dared to easily contact humans.

"Although the cat people will not betray us, it is difficult for us to use the cat tribe as a base." The chief guard advised: "The cat people are a fighting race. Apart from hunting, they hardly engage in any production activities. Their village has no farmland, no factories, and no minerals. We cannot build a base in the cat village... If we dig out a piece of farmland here, it will be discovered by the reconnaissance eagles, and the pursuers will follow."

Elizabeth: "Teacher, what you mean is that we have to contact humans in the end? Use a human town to build a base?"

"Humans are too good at weighing the pros and cons and committing acts of betrayal!" The chief guard shook his head: "We are not strong enough now, and it is very dangerous to contact any human lord. What I mean is that the next person we should contact should preferably be a nocturnal race with production capabilities."

"A race with production capabilities will have villages, farmlands, castles, and even factories... We can participate in them. It won't be easy for reconnaissance eagles to find us."

"The most important thing is," said the captain of the guards, "only if we have the production capacity can we continuously produce the materials needed for the restoration of the country. If we are just rootless floating duckweed, it will be impossible to restore the country successfully. Besides, only if we have the ability to produce materials can we balance the materials with His Majesty the King's world."

This makes sense!

Elizabeth: "A nocturnal race with reproductive capabilities?"

She understood that the teacher was testing her.

There are many nocturnal races in the Magic Kingdom, including but not limited to cat people, dog-headed people, lizard people, rat people, vampires, werewolves, leopard people, tiger people...

But although there are many races, not many have the ability to produce.

After excluding those races that only know how to wage war, there is only one truth. Elizabeth said: "Werewolves!"

The chief guard nodded. "Yes, the werewolves. Although they transform into wolves at night, they remain in human form during the day. Like humans, they build towns and villages and engage in production activities. If we can gain the support of the werewolves, we can hide in their towns and villages and prepare for the restoration of our country. It will not be so easy for the reconnaissance eagles of the strategist Ugumantai to find us."

Elizabeth: "But when the werewolves transform into wolves, they lose their rationality and kill crazily. If we use such a race, even if we can successfully restore our country in the future, it will cause great suffering to the people."

Captain of the Guards: "Most werewolves lose their intelligence when they transform and become ferocious and bloodthirsty monsters. However, there is a tribe of werewolves that, with the help of the elves, can control their minds and will not go crazy. They are called: Gilneas Werewolves."

The Gilnean werewolves are a branch of many werewolf races. They were originally humans, but became werewolves due to infection. The elves helped these infected werewolves and taught them how to control their wildness, so that they can maintain their rationality even after turning into werewolves.

For hundreds of years, the werewolves of Gilneas have been an indispensable part of the magic kingdom and have made outstanding contributions in the battle to defend the kingdom.

But after the palace coup 16 years ago, the Church of Light rose to power and all nocturnal races were suppressed by the Church.

As a result, the Gilnean werewolves were reduced to lower-class citizens and driven to live in the remote western forests.

Elizabeth: "I understand, my teacher. Let's try to gain mutual trust with the Gilnean worgen."

The chief guard said, "It's not easy! They are different from the cat people. After being reduced to lower-class citizens, the cat people have no hatred in their hearts, because they originally lived in remote border areas and lived alone. Whether they were reduced to lower-class citizens or not, they didn't have much personal feelings."

"But the Gilnean werewolves are different. They were once humans, and their IQ is no lower than ours. They used to live a normal life in big cities. Sixteen years ago, a sudden change occurred, and the Holy See of Light gained power. Overnight, they became lower-class citizens, and were driven out and suppressed. In their eyes, it was humans who betrayed them, and their beloved country betrayed them. If we want them to accept us, we need to make more efforts."
