Chapter 130: An unexpected war between two tribes

When Lord Osta led his men to investigate the village where the members of the Dark Elf tribe lived on the Naroth Plain, he found that there were only a few residents in the tribe. The Dark Elf tribe, which originally had a population of more than 200,000, now only had a few thousand people left.

Osta didn't know what major incident had happened to the dark elf tribe, but fortunately, the tribe members were not xenophobic. In addition, "Black Rose" Avril was an elf, so her elf bloodline was beyond doubt.

After seeing Avril's pointed ears, which were almost the same as those of their own matriarch, the members of the dark elf tribe relaxed their vigilance towards her. They all thought that Avril was a distant relative of their matriarch and welcomed her warmly.

"Uncle Sam, where is the tribe leader now? I need to find her for something."

"You must be a relative of Lady Treya! You came at a really bad time. Lady Treya has been leading everyone to the front line of Krasul Plain for a long time. You can go there to find her."

"Is that so? That's really unfortunate. Chief...how long will it take for Sister Treya to come back?"

"I'm not sure about that. The situation on the Krasul Plain is tense. Lady Treya is needed on the front line. She won't be able to come back for a while."

The forbidden artifact "Golden Eye" used by Marv has a primary mind-reading function. With her, Osta and the others don't need to find anyone else to serve as the translator, all depends on Marv. Marv quickly mastered the language of the local primitive tribe, the Nolanthians, and was able to communicate smoothly with the members of the dark elf tribe clan she met.

The members of the Dark Elf tribe lived in simple wooden houses. They did not look wealthy and were still in the primitive society. The tribe mainly engaged in hunting and gathering, and agricultural civilization had not yet emerged. Osta was sure that even if they were given hundreds or thousands of years of development, they would not be able to transition to agricultural civilization.

Due to the living environment, it is impossible to grow conventional crops in the extremely harsh environment and terrain of the Naroku Plain. Anyway, Aosta can't imagine what crops can grow in such a harsh environment. The Naroku Plain area almost never sees the sun all year round. There is no sunlight here, and if the crops are planted without sunlight, they basically can't grow.

For the Dark Elf tribe, hunting and gathering are the main source of food for the tribe, and also the only reliance. For so many years, the main source of food for the Dark Elf tribe has been the Omega Plains, which is rich in magical beast resources.

The Dark Succubus tribe next to the Dark Elf tribe has a hunting area that is as rich in magical beast resources as the Kafor Plains here. However, just over a year ago, a sudden geological change occurred in the Naroth Plains. Both the Omega Plains and the Kafor Plains were affected by the earthquake, and a large area of ​​the ground collapsed. Many parts of the plains collapsed into areas with deep pits.

The monsters that originally lived in these two plains all migrated to the Krasul Plain, which had richer resources and a larger area. This caused a big problem. The Dark Elf Tribe and the Dark Succubus Tribe, which had previously lived in peace with each other, began to have constant friction.

In order to compete for food resources, the friction between the two sides in the Krasul Plain continued to escalate, and finally a war broke out a month ago. The female leaders of both sides could no longer sit still. Before, they could sit in the rear and command calmly. Seeing that their own people and members of their tribes and clans were bullied by the other side, as the chiefs, they had to step forward at this time.

The female leader of the Dark Elf Tribe, the Dark Elf Treya. The female leader of the Dark Succubus Tribe, the Dark Night Succubus Livia. Both sides led the members of their own tribes and clans to set up battle formations on the Krasul Plains and launched a tug-of-war that lasted for nearly a month.

Both sides have won and lost, and no one has achieved a decisive victory so far. The difference in strength between Treya and Livia is not big, and their combat effectiveness is evenly matched, so neither can win quickly. The war has fallen into a stalemate, and it is difficult to tell who is better in a short period of time.

The war has deviated seriously from its original intention. Treya and Livia have no way to stop it. The tribesmen under their command are all angry and the atmosphere is too tense. Whoever takes the initiative to ask for a ceasefire and peace is a coward. Neither side wants to admit defeat, and no one wants to be the first to ask for a ceasefire and peace.

The war in the Krasul Plain fell into an endless cycle. Neither Treya nor Livia could escape from the quagmire of war, and no one was willing to take the lead. After learning the whole story, Osta felt that as the lord of the Blomfield Territory, he still had many shortcomings in his work.

There had been local wars going on for more than a month in some places in the territory, but Lord Osta was completely unaware of the situation, which was a serious dereliction of duty. Without external intervention and mediation, the war between the Dark Elf Tribe and the Dark Succubus Tribe, and the battle for the Krasul Plain would have to continue for a long time, until one of the parties was severely damaged and had no strength to fight again.

The total population of the two tribes was close, so even if there was a winner, the winner would definitely be a miserable victory, and would not necessarily be much better off than the loser. Osta did not want to see a situation where both sides suffered losses, so as a lord, he had to intervene to mediate.

The difficulty of mediation is quite high. It is impossible to mark each prey as belonging to a certain tribe. The monsters are always in motion and their real-time positions are not fixed. Drawing a dividing line in the middle of the Krasul Plain will also cause disputes and conflicts because the prey run around.

Osta was on the road again with mixed feelings, thinking about how he should intervene and deal with the tribal conflict between the Dark Elf Tribe and the Dark Night Succubus Tribe. Osta had not yet thought of a suitable and optimal option for the best mediation plan to mediate the tribal war between the two sides.

The carriages were temporarily unavailable for this trip to the Krasul Plain. The previous bumps on the road had caused most of the carriages in the team to be on the verge of falling apart, and they were clearly unable to withstand continued use.

As a result, Osta and his men temporarily abandoned the wagon train and temporarily stored all the wagons in the vicinity of the villages where the members of the dark elf tribe lived, and used war horses instead. The horses that originally pulled the wagons were converted into mounts, and the distribution was just completed.

Avril led the way, she and Julia, Chris and Sophia each rode a warhorse. Osta and his sister Audrey, the "Emerald Princess", rode on the same warhorse.

Audrey was a little shy at first, thinking that the distance between them was too close when riding together. But after Osta's strong pull, Audrey could not resist her brother's enthusiasm and half-heartedly accepted Osta's arrangement.

"Brother Osta, I am not a child anymore. I can ride a warhorse independently. You just..."

"Sister Delis, you don't have much fighting ability. If you encounter any emergencies or unexpected situations, it will be bad if something happens. It's safe to stay with me. Do you feel embarrassed?"

"Brother Osta, this is not a question of safety or not. Don't worry about your opinion. I think there should be some distance between siblings... Forget it, let's talk about this later! We still have important things to deal with."

"Sister Delis, only good and obedient children will be rewarded!"

Audrey sat in front of Osta, and the distance between them was very close. Osta could almost smell the elegant fragrance coming from the front. The fragrance of this "Jade Princess" sister was very special, with a breath of nature. It didn't seem like she was using any perfume, but a natural body fragrance that could make people relax.

Audrey originally wanted to remind Osta to pay attention to the distance between siblings, but when the words came to her lips, she hesitated. Princess Audrey seemed to think that such an ambiguous distance was not bad, so she did not finish her words.

The warhorse's running speed was not slow originally, but it was mainly affected by the harsh environment and terrain, so it had to be led by Avril who used the forbidden artifact "Golden Eyes". The others followed behind "Black Rose", so they couldn't let go of their speed completely.

The full view of the Krasul Plain could not be seen, as it was also shrouded in fog. When approaching the area near the plain, Osta looked around and saw that the surroundings were almost shrouded in fog, with visibility around only about five meters.

Sophia was worried that if she activated the holy magic and illuminated the surroundings, it would be too conspicuous and easily expose her target location and attract the attention of those dangerous beings hiding in the dark. Therefore, Sophia did not use the holy magic, and the navigation work of the entire team was completely handled by the "Black Rose" Avril who led the way.

Osta carefully observed the surrounding environment. He felt that the environment of the Krasul Plain was not much better than the overall environment of the entire Naroth Plain. If this was a hunting area, the monsters living here would probably not be normal species. Avril, who was leading the way, suddenly tightened the reins in her hand and stopped the warhorse urgently.

Less than three meters in front of Marceline, a giant creature suddenly emerged from the ground. This guy had obviously been lying in ambush for a long time, waiting for his prey to take the bait. However, Marceline had the forbidden artifact "Golden Eyes", which allowed her to see through the other party's disguise one step ahead of time, so that this guy's ambush did not succeed.

The huge creature that suddenly emerged from the crack in the ground was a dark-black spider, similar in shape to a wolf spider, as if it was an enlarged wolf spider. This wolf spider was over five meters long, obviously enlarged, and its eight eyes revealed a ferocious light, looking at Osta and the others, as if it regarded these people and horses as its prey.

Osta immediately turned his horse around and retreated to the rear. He was not a combatant, and his sister Audrey was only a supporter, so they could not fight the giant wolf spider in front of them. That guy might be carrying a deadly poison. At this time, it would be wisest to leave the battle to the professionals in front.

After the wolf spider found that the sneak attack failed, it simply gave up its disguise and broke through head-on. It attacked Marceline, who was closest to it, and its movement speed was so fast that it easily surpassed the horses used by Osta and the others. It was obviously impossible to escape on horseback, as the speed was not as fast as the giant wolf spider's hunting speed.

"What an unqualified guy! A sneak attack should be done in a sneak attack manner! Let me teach you what a real sneak attack is."

Before the giant wolf spider could get to Evelyn, it was countered. Yulia quickly threw out a sharp black wheel-shaped flying disc. The flying disc was blessed with Yulia's dark energy, which turned into a black flash in the air and passed under the giant wolf spider.

The giant wolf spider suddenly stopped moving and fell into a state of stiffness. The eight giant spider legs were instantly cut off by the black flashing flying disc, and the giant wolf spider lost its center of gravity and fell to the ground.

The wolf spider opened its mouth and tried to fight back before dying, but the attempt failed. Chris's attack followed, a silver flash, like a spear thrown out by the enemy.

The spear pierced through the wolf spider's huge mouth and instantly penetrated its huge body. The wolf spider's poison spray attack before death was interrupted, and it was cut in half from the head by Chris's silver sword attack. It could not rise again and had no ability to threaten anyone.

After the giant wolf spider died, its body exploded, and poisonous green blood splashed everywhere. Avril quickly turned the special gear staff in her hands, and a barrier composed of energy gears appeared in front of her, blocking the giant wolf spider's dying struggle.

The green poisonous blood was obviously highly toxic. The grass nearby was splashed with white smoke. After a while, the grass made a sizzling sound, as if it was touched by sulfuric acid. Fortunately, it was not touched by its toxicity, otherwise, the girls present, including the female companions around Osta, would face great risk of disfigurement and disfigurement.

"Is this guy a demon beast or a monster from the abyss?"

"Your Highness Osta, this giant spider seems to be the prey! The prey that can be hunted in the Krasul Plain... No, in the entire Naroth Plain, is this type of magical beast. The Dark Elf Tribe and the Dark Succubus Tribe both hunt this type of prey."

"Avril, are you sure you're not mistaken? This thing looks poisonous no matter how you look at it. It's really edible!"

"Your Highness Aosta, just wait a moment and you will know!"

When Osta heard that this creature was edible, he was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse. The giant wolf spider was poisonous, wouldn't it be a death wish to eat it? After Avril's reminder, Osta calmed down and continued to observe, and soon found something unusual.

The land beneath Osta's feet seemed to have life. After the giant wolf spider died, the poisonous blood on its body was quickly absorbed by the land and soon drained away. The remaining trunk looked like a meaty ingredient. Although this guy was ugly, it was a fact that he was big and had a lot of meat. If it was edible, hunting one would be enough for more than a dozen people to eat for a day, so it could indeed be used as food.

Giant wolf spiders are common on the Krasul Plain. As Osta and his men continued to move forward, they killed more than a dozen giant wolf spiders along the way, all in less than three moves. Although giant wolf spiders are very powerful, they live alone. Giant wolf spiders have a strong sense of territory, and their hunting method is a "lone wolf" mode of acting alone, not the tricky "wolf pack" tactics.

To Osta and his team, a lone giant wolf spider posed no real threat. Under the scanning of Avril's "Golden Eyes", the ambush tactics of the giant wolf spider were completely ineffective. Many of them could not even get out of the ground, but were killed by Osta and his team through the ground. They were directly eliminated without even being able to appear on the stage. If it were an ordinary adventurer, they would have been caught by now. Osta had a "perspective plug-in", and the ambush and sneak attack tactics that the giant wolf spider was good at were directly abolished.

These giant wolf spiders have no magic cores, so Osta and his team did not collect their bodies. Although Avril said they were all food, Osta had no intention of trying them for the time being. He felt that the giant wolf spiders did not look very appetizing. If they were really used as food, the food they made might be a dark dish.

"That is the temporary camp of the Dark Elf Tribe. Your Highness Osta, please wait for a moment. I will negotiate with the guards to see if we can meet Miss Treya."

"Avril, thank you for your help. If Treya asks about my identity, please tell her the truth."

"Your Highness Aosta, if Miss Treya refuses to talk..."

"Avril, don't worry about that. I will find a reason she can't refuse."

"Your Highness Aosta, I understand. Please wait a moment, I will do my best to get it."

Chapter 131 Meeting with the Dark Elf Loli

Deep in the Naroth Plains, which borders the outer border of Bloomfield Territory and the neighboring Fitzgerald Territory, in the Krasul Plains area, a fierce conflict broke out between the Dark Elf Tribe and the Dark Night Succubus Tribe, who had lived here for generations, in order to compete for food and water.

The peace and friendship that the two sides had maintained for many years had disappeared with the full escalation of the war and the intensification of the conflict. In the more than one month of war, both sides of the Krasul Plain War had victories and defeats. However, no one achieved a decisive victory, resulting in a stalemate in the war.

As the lord of Blomfield, Osta learned about these situations before visiting the Styx Extraditers. As a lord, Osta felt that he had to take care of it.

According to the current situation, if there is no external intervention to mediate, the war on the Krasul Plain will last for a long time. At least until both sides are defeated and one side can no longer hold on. The winner is also destined to pay a heavy price before he can win a bitter victory. This is a war that is destined to have no winners.

The warring Dark Elf Tribe and Dark Night Succubus Tribe were obviously both overwhelmed. From the top leaders to the ordinary tribal members, no one wanted to admit defeat so easily. Whoever proposed peace talks first would be the one to give in.

The female leaders of the two tribes in the confrontation, the dark elf Treya and the dark night succubus Livia, were forced by the situation even if they wanted to stop the war. Under the influence of the high fighting spirit of their tribe members, they had no choice but to wait for the other side to compromise first.

The two female leaders themselves would not be the first to compromise, as that would damage their prestige as leaders. Things seemed to be stuck in a vicious circle, and this dilemma needed a neutral outsider to intervene and mediate. Only after the participation of a third party could there be hope of resolving the situation.

Osta and his group were waiting in front of the gate of the temporary camp of the Dark Elf tribe. The team guide, "Black Rose" Avril, had already gone to make contact, and Osta only needed to wait here quietly for the result.

Taking advantage of this leisure time, Osta carefully observed the status of the members of the Dark Elf Tribe. These Nolanthians, because they lived in the harsh environment of the Naroth Plain, looked much more sturdy than other members of the primitive tribes of Nolanthians. They were all very tall, with an average height of over 170cm.

Strictly speaking, these warriors should be considered monster hunters. The weapons and armor they are equipped with are made directly from materials collected from prey. Osta feels that the weapons and equipment of the dark elf tribe members are quite cool, mainly black, and seem to have a black and shiny reflective effect.

Giant wolf spiders are common prey on the Krasul Plains. They are the main source of weapons and equipment for the Dark Elf tribe members. The wolf spider meat, which was previously considered highly poisonous by Osta, is being skillfully cooked by the Dark Elf tribe members.

The members of the Dark Elf tribe directly grilled the cut wolf spider meat by the campfire. Without adding any seasoning, the air was filled with a strong aroma of roasted meat, and Osta almost couldn't help drooling. He took back his previous opinion. If the cooking method was correct, these giant wolf spiders could also be delicious ingredients, not necessarily dark cuisine.

"Your Highness Aosta, I have already discussed it. Treya happens to be free and can meet with you."

"Avril, thank you for your help. We were able to reach an agreement so smoothly. Could this be a trap?"

"No, Your Highness Aosta. Treya is a very simple girl. You will understand everything when you meet her."

Avril quickly came out of the barracks and reported the latest developments to Osta. After her prior consultation and communication, the matriarch of the dark elf tribe, Treya, accepted Osta's request for a meeting.

After stating Aosta's status as the lord in advance, Treya quickly responded to this goodwill. In the past, the female leader would not meet with Aosta, as she did not truly recognize Aosta and did not acknowledge his status as the ruler.

Now the situation has changed a little. After the battle with the Dark Night Succubus Tribe became a tough one, Treya seemed to want to seek help from Lord Osta. To see if there was a way to get out of the war quagmire of the Krasul Plain, Osta's appearance was quite coincidental.

Under the guidance of Avril, Osta handed over the warhorse he brought to the guards outside the dark elf camp to help take care of it. The group set off lightly and soon arrived at the center of the camp, where they found the temporary residence of the female chieftain, which looked much larger than other barracks.

"Are you the new Lord O...Osta? I am Treya, the chieftain of the Dark Elf tribe. It's our first meeting. Thank you for your guidance."

"Triya, I didn't expect you to speak the human language!"

"My Lord, the human language is not difficult to learn. I have to admit that your language is easier to write, unlike the elves' language, which is complicated and time-consuming to write!"

"I think the Elven language is pretty good. It sounds pleasant to the ears, especially... I was just joking. You don't have to take it too seriously."

After seeing the dark elf Treya, Osta was a little surprised. Treya might be called a dark elf in name only, and she was very different from a real dark elf.

Not long ago, after successfully recruiting several princesses of the moon elves and forest elves, Osta learned from them a lot about the various branches of the elves living on the Emerald (elf) continent, including detailed information about the dark elves.

Traditionally, dark elves have brown or bronze skin. Traiya's skin is snow-white. This girl is too different from a real dark elf. Her skin color is wrong. Traiya is about 156cm tall and has a fair complexion. She is a petite elf. Her pointed ears are quite characteristic of the elves, which is one of the proofs of her genuine elf bloodline.

The dark elf Treya had fiery red hair in a long double ponytail hairstyle with dark purple hairpins on both ponytails. Her cute face looked very childish, with a pair of orange-yellow eyes, full of curiosity, looking at Osta, as if puzzled by how this human who seemed to have no fighting power could become a lord.

In the Bloomfield area, the female chiefs of the local primitive tribes basically relied on their personal strength to get to the top. If they were not strong enough in combat, they could not be the chief. Most of these female chiefs could not understand the rules for selecting the lords of the human race, and Treya was one of them.

"My Lord, you are not treating me like a child. I am much older than you."

"Trya, I'm just a little surprised. You seem to be different from the dark elves I remember."

"My Lord, it's just a title! To be honest, I just thought the title of Dark Elf was cooler, so I chose this title."

"I see. I think I understand."

Treya's tone was delicate, and it was easy for people to mistake her for a little girl. The height of the mountain in front of her was not good, and her size was barely B, which was slightly better than the average loli with flat attributes. Treya was wearing a relatively cool-looking outfit. This lavender outfit had a tube-like design on the upper body, and there was a white pattern underneath the top.

If Osta moved his eyes slightly downward, he could clearly see her belly button. This little girl had a snow-white neck with a high white collar and a beautiful diamond-shaped purple magic gem in the middle. She wore long purple gloves on both hands. On her left palm, there was a dark purple flame, like a special effect pendant. On the wrists of both hands, there was a pair of dark purple rings with magic characters on them, which were part of the magic equipment.

Treya was wearing a long skirt that looked quite ordinary, with a white belt. However, the openings on both sides of the skirt were too big, almost reaching the base of the legs, which gave the impression that there was a pocket cloth in front and back. With the breeze, the hem of the skirt often fluttered, and the tempting dark purple panties inside could be clearly seen.

Treya didn't seem to care about her exposure. She didn't wear any underwear under her top. She only had one piece of underwear. Relatively speaking, her lower body was much better. She had at least two sets of underwear. Osta looked down and saw Treya's legs wearing dark purple stockings. The stockings didn't completely cover her legs. Part of her thighs was exposed, revealing an alluring white area and a pair of dark purple boots on her feet.

The overall feeling of this lolita is that she is cute, and lacks sexiness and eroticism. The title of dark elf seems a bit unrealistic. Treya didn't care about Osta's gentlemanly gaze on her. She didn't want to be treated as a child. The other party was attracted by her body, which was a disguised proof that she was attractive and not a child.

This little girl's thoughts were too simple, and she seemed to be unaware of the special existence of gentlemen called loli control. Osta didn't know the little girl's true thoughts. If she knew, Treya might be like the moon elf and forest elf princess before, who was tricked into bed by a gentleman lord and had an indescribable super-close contact, at least three times.

As for the question of her identity, Treya did not deliberately conceal it and directly confessed it to Lord Osta and his party. She made it clear that she was not a real dark elf, but just borrowed the title. Her strength was far above that of ordinary dark elves.

According to the ranking of the individual combat power of the female chieftains of various primitive tribes in the Bloomfield area, the dark elf Treya belongs to the first echelon. She has been ranked at the top for a long time. However, Treya's childish and cute appearance makes it easy for people to despise her and ignore her terrifying strength.

"Trya, can you please stop the war between you and the Dark Night Succubus Tribe? I think it's unnecessary to continue fighting like this. As for food, I can provide the resources for that."

"My Lord, are you here to mediate? That won't do. Now it's not just a matter of food. That bad girl Livia, isn't it just that her private parts are a little bigger than mine, yet she actually called me a child and unfeminine? We have to teach her a lesson."

"Triya, we still have to put the overall situation first. Personal grudges can be resolved individually."

"That won't work either. I won't beat her in front of everyone. If Livia denies her guilt and says she didn't lose, then all my efforts will be in vain."

Treya's tone did not conceal her arrogance, and she looked like a naughty little girl who was acting like a spoiled child. It would be strange if she was not a child. Her opponent, the female leader of the Dark Night Succubus Tribe, the Dark Night Succubus Livia, did not seem to have said anything wrong. Compared with Treya, this girl was indeed a child.

The other party is at least called a succubus, and no matter how bad her figure is, she is much more mature than Treya. Of course, Osta couldn't say these words in front of Treya, because this type of loli needs to be coaxed.

"Trea, you really don't want to consider reconciliation?"

"Of course not. I will never ask her for...what is this...so sweet!"

Osta happened to have some delicious snacks and candies with him, and while Treya was talking, he took out a small piece of delicious chocolate and stuffed it into the little girl's mouth. Treya was a little embarrassed by the sudden attack, and when she was about to launch a magic counterattack, the sweet taste in her mouth made the little girl forget Osta's previous rude behavior for a moment.

These chocolates are the same as the ones on the body of Mira, the female chief of the Treasure Tribe. Mira made them herself and gave them to the lord, and Osta just happened to use them as a gift. According to Osta's secret observation, the female chiefs under him, the cute little lolita-like girls, all like this kind of chocolate.

Osta guessed that Treya might also like this, so he decided to take a gamble. Now it seems that Osta's gamble was right, Treya really likes sweets. This arrogant twin-tailed loli, like most lolis, can't resist the temptation of snacks and candies.

"This is a delicacy called chocolate, Treya. I have plenty here if you want it. How about accepting my offer for the sake of chocolate?"

"This... Lord, you... you are too cunning. How can you threaten me like this! Even if I starve to death, die outside, or run away from here, I will never eat the chocolate you give me again."

"In that case, I'm sorry to bother you. Treya, I'd better give this chocolate to Livia. Maybe she will appreciate it better."
