Arad's Sword

Chapter 66

The eyes of the two girls meet, and the tacit understanding has been formed for a long time, so there is no need for Midi to say more.He just nodded slightly, then strode out of the training ground.

In the hall of Qiugucheng Villa, the generals and leaders had been waiting for a long time.

In the front row were elite confidants like Butlan, Krsty, Sigmund, and Lilian.

After that, there are the elders of the elf tribe, the generals of the territory defenders, the personal guards of the family castle, and the city lords of the major cities in the territory.

Everyone gathered together, unexpectedly filling the hall of the villa.

Sensing everyone's expectant eyes, Midi looked around slowly with an extremely calm gaze, cleared her throat, and finally opened her mouth.

"The first order is martial law throughout the land. The [-] troops stationed at the border immediately enter a state of battle. Anyone who tries to invade, regardless of their identity, whether it is a human or a monster, will be killed without mercy. The remaining [-] main troops patrol the territory. Anyone who finds a monster Those who take advantage of the fire to loot will be killed without mercy; those who fan the flames will be killed without mercy. Another thousand troops are stationed in Qiugu City, ready to attack at any time."

The three "kill without mercy" caused the temperature in the entire hall to drop several degrees, and made everyone understand that the real backbone of the Asrex family, for the fire that ignited outside the Principality, How important is it.

"Clarsty." Midi spoke again.

"Yes." The elf warrior who had been promoted to level 32 stood up straight, like a javelin.

"Assemble the Nightsaber Cavalry Team, together with the rest of the elite, a total of 2000 people, and follow us to Grand Forest." Midi said, turning her gaze behind her, meeting the gazes of the Queen of Bullets and the Misty Witch. Together, "First pick up all the elves from the five major tribes."

At the same time, there were not a few noble lords who acted like Midi.

After all, territory is the foundation of a family. Taxes, resources, talents, food, troops, and magic veins all come from the land itself.Unless it is a dude with no ambitions, no matter whether it is a small baron, or a high-ranking marquis or duke, it is absolutely impossible to stay in the castle and sit back and watch the turmoil in his territory under his nose.

There are not a few nobles who can predict the threat of the fire to the territory. However, there are almost no lords who can truly restrain the turmoil caused by the fire.

Because the scope of this fire is really too big.

And the army of the Principality of Belle Mare, which has been at peace for a long time, is really too small.

Accompanied by this terrible fire, countless monsters with doubled levels rushed out of the forest. There was a piece of scorched earth behind them. If they flinched, they would only be burned to death or starved to death, so they rushed forward without hesitation.

The undead woke up from the sleeping cemetery. They pushed aside the mud that had covered the coffin for many years, stretched out their dry arms to the sky, and opened their mouths without vocal cords, screaming silently.Many cities are well defended, but are attacked by the undead directly from within.

What was even worse was that the inconspicuous low-level monsters that were originally distributed throughout the Principality, such as goblins and cat demons, also possessed enough power to compete with level 10 soldiers.

Maybe level 10 is nothing, but the huge number of these little monsters makes them the biggest stone on the nobles' heads.

In contrast, after hundreds of years of peace, the lords did not have many troops. Not only were they small in number, their equipment was also poorly maintained, and their training was even more serious.

In addition, the army is not suitable for small-group combat. Faced with such a situation where there are flowers everywhere and firefighting is needed everywhere, every general will have gray hair overnight.

The soldiers had to be split into countless small teams and go to different places to fight. However, the training they underwent meant that they could not be as good as adventurers who were good at fighting in small groups all the year round.

In addition, most of the soldiers are ordinary humans, without the assistance of ghosts and gods, unable to sense the rhythm of magic power, and not favored by the holy light, but with the long sword in hand, it is quite difficult to deal with monsters with various new abilities.

In many places, the soldiers sent out were even wiped out by monsters.

The entire Principality of Bel Mare suddenly became chaotic.

At this moment, the family with a deep heritage showed the powerful strength they had accumulated for hundreds of years.Needless to say, the Hamilton family where the Iron-Blooded Duke sits, even the Seth family, which suffered a disastrous defeat three months ago, showed unusual composure and calmness in the face of this catastrophe.

In addition, those marquis territories second only to the Grand Duke are relatively quieter.

In these territories that have been in operation for several centuries, the monsters have been almost wiped out, coupled with a complete military system, and at the same time employing adventurers with sufficient financial resources to supplement them, they can naturally remain unmoved.

However, among all the aristocratic territories, the most surprising and even shocking one is the earldom.

The territory of the Asrex family!

Being able to suppress the monster's offensive is a skill, but it is not surprising, but the choice made by Midi is far beyond the imagination of the nobles.

He even sent troops directly into Gran's Forest, where no one dared to enter!
Do you want to lure us to attack and win another battle?Stop dreaming!

The generals of the Seth family sneered and strictly ordered the army to guard the border.After annexing the Joseph family, now Asrex is on the border with Seth. I don't know what kind of moths that little black-haired bastard will make in this turbulent age.

You have to keep your eyes open, lest you lose a few more mines!
Are there any special resources and treasures in that forest?
There are other nobles guessing, but based on years of experience, it doesn't look like it at all.After all, that's just the fringe area of ​​Gran's Forest, so what good could there be?Even if it existed, it would have been plundered by the Elven Kingdom hundreds of years ago.

In fact, Midi's purpose is very simple, which is to safely pick up all the members of the five elf tribes who made a contract with him in the forest.

In the past three months, although a lot of work has been done, elves are the most stubborn, nostalgic and least willing to see changes.The two thousand elf warriors have been impressed by Midi's courageous posture, and the cunning elders have been made happy by the benefits and supplies brought by the large number of transactions.

There are also many elves who can't stand the monotonous life in the forest, and resolutely came to the territory of the Asrex family, hoping to find their place in the active human society.

But there are still some elves who enjoy the benefits brought by the opening of the trade channel with peace of mind, but have no intention of changing.

Midi does not reject such a view of life, not tossing is also an attitude towards life.It's just that when the Grand Forest fire broke out, he couldn't let these elves die there.

Fortunately, preparations were sufficient in advance. The magic vein in the forest of the Mist Witch was originally connected to the villa in Qiugu City, and Midi knew all about the changes in the area.In addition, when the trade channel was established, Midi also specially built a lot of fortifications along the way. With the help of such fortifications and the addition of [-] prepared elite troops, it is not difficult to move the remaining elves out.

So, there is only one problem left -

Should the forest itself just be abandoned?

Midi handed over the decision-making power to the original owner of the forest, the Witch of the Mist, Alice Otropos.

The black-haired girl paced quietly in front of the witch's mansion where she had lived for many years, as if taking a walk.

In recent months, she has hardly been here.

Many daily necessities and personal belongings, such as the cello, mirror, wardrobe, and all kinds of black clothes in the wardrobe, robes, etc., have also been moved to the villa in Qiugu City without knowing it.

It is indeed more suitable for living, with more magic power, more complete defense, and all kinds of rare magic materials can be obtained, and there is no need to spend any more time on the elf elders, everything can be handed over to special management personnel To take care of it, Alice only needs to concentrate on studying magic and the mysterious ghosts and spirits on Midi.

But at this moment, when looking at the tree house where she lived for many years, Alice felt an inseparable nostalgia.

Although remote, she is very familiar with every plant and tree here.She has personally touched the surrounding herds of beasts and stroked those beasts.The white crow magic circle under his feet was arranged bit by bit when he was studying magic before, and it has been perfected many times afterwards.

All the organs in the tree pavilion were made by hand.The missing rare materials were collected by Alice when she went out to collect them herself. At that time, she also experienced various dangers and faced powerful monsters occupying the resources, but Alice overcame them one by one. to today.

Now, do you want to give up?Do you want to give up?

The black-haired girl who always had an indifferent expression bit her lip at this moment, showing hesitation and struggle that could not be concealed.

stay!
Midi's lips moved, and she couldn't help but want to say that.

In the previous life, Alice persisted here for two full years, and she finally chose to leave when the Delos Empire turned its finger on this forest.

In this life, the conditions are sufficient, there is no need to give up like this!
Midi thought so in his heart, he didn't want to see his beloved in pain again.

However, just when Midi was about to step out and say this to Alice, a small hand pressed hard on his shoulder, stopping his movement.

It was Fina's hand.

"Didn't you agree to leave everything to Alice?" The red-haired girl gave Midi a cold look, "Why do you want to join in the fun now?"
