"......???" When they arrived at the church and saw the golden figure sitting in the church hall, Dale was stunned.

Fei'er, who was sitting there, was also stunned for a moment, as if neither of them expected the other to come here.

Irene, who came into the room later, saw the two people confronting each other, and her expression suddenly became strange.

"Why are you here?" Fei'er frowned, wondering if the magic marks that Dale had carved on her body that day were not cleaned up.

"I..." Dale glanced at Irene behind her and wanted to say something, but the overall situation was more important and now was not the time to say that. She immediately went upstairs, followed closely by Irene.

Seeing this scene, Fei'er frowned.

She noticed that things were beginning to change.

"Don't just stand there, come here too." Irene thought of something, took two steps, and pulled Fei'er upstairs.

Is there anything else about her? ?

Fei'er didn't struggle and was dragged to the second floor.

She was left outside the door, and the door was closed after Dale and Irene entered the house.

Do Dale and Irene know each other?

It is not difficult to understand. It is normal for the Holy Envoy on patrol to know the local chief.

The people in the room started talking. If Fei'er wanted to listen, she could, but she didn't have the habit of prying into other people's privacy, nor did she want to do so, so she didn't listen.

At this moment, inside the house.

"Your Majesty, the tribal army has arrived and is now passing through the Elf Forest." Dale came up to the dazed Ceres and spoke to her cautiously.

"......Tribe, army?" Two seconds later, Ceres slowly responded. She quickly picked up the staff leaning against the bed.

"Has the Elf Forest become ineffective?" Ceres was a little bit unbelievable.

"What do you think?" Dale's tone was obviously a little disrespectful, but now was an extraordinary period and no one blamed her.

"Given your current mental state, it's only natural that the Elf Forest is abnormal."

"But my mental state isn't too bad now." Ceres' tone was chaotic, without her usual calmness and elegance.

After these words were spoken, Irene and Dale fell silent.

Not bad? I'm almost autistic.

"Your Majesty, please step out of the shadows quickly, otherwise the entire elf race will suffer."

"Get out, get out...how can I get out?" Ceres's mood was in a mess, and even her thoughts started to become confused.

She really wanted to change her cloudy mood to sunny, and she really wanted to open the barrier of the Elf Forest.

But the barrier cannot be opened just like she wants to, and the mood cannot be improved just like she wants to.

It's not her decision.

Mental illness cannot be cured by just a few words, nor will it get better by one's own will.

"It's too late, Irene. Where is your invincible secret recipe? Use it and think of a solution."

"We can't just do nothing." Dale stared at Irene.

"........You're right, we can't just do nothing." Irene stood up and walked out the door quickly. Soon, she pulled in a confused blonde girl.

Celeste slowly raised her head.

"Isn't it inappropriate for an outsider like me to interrupt your meeting?" Fei'er frowned.

"Miss Fei'er, please do me a favor."

"......You say." It was very rare for Irene to ask for help from others. Although they had been together for less than a month, Fei'er had almost figured out Irene's personality and character.

He is the strong type, and seems to be unable to show his weak side in front of anyone.

It would be very difficult to ask such a person for help.

Things have been said to this point, and Fei'er also understands the seriousness of the matter, so there is nothing extra to say.

The Land of Elves is really a huge 'treasure land'. I've been there twice and was drawn into it both times.

It's really frustrating.

Fei'er had probably guessed it, and estimated that she was asked to help drive out foreign enemies or something like that.

I'm busy again, but I haven't received any salary yet.

However, what Irene said next shocked her greatly.

"Please hug my lady and tell her I love you." Irene said seriously.

"I know, isn't it just...?! You, what did you say?" Fei'er thought she had misheard at first, and her pretty face suddenly turned red.

"Love... Lady Irene! What are you doing? Do you know what you are saying? Now is not the time to joke." Dale was also shocked and then scolded.

"Do you think I'm kidding now?" A forced melon is not sweet, but at least it quenches your thirst.

Originally, Irene didn't want to force Fei'er's will, but the matter was of great importance and related to the life and death of the clan, so she had no choice.

Celeste also raised her eyes in shock.

"Hurry up!" Irene pushed Fei'er. "Please, I beg you! You can ask me to do anything after this, hurry up! Hurry up!"

"What's wrong with you?" When Dale saw Phil in the church, she guessed that she might have met Irene and the others.

But what does it mean now? ?

Why did she let Fei'er do this? Her Majesty the Queen doesn't like her, why?

"You have facial paralysis, just watch here and don't make any trouble! If you want to make any trouble, get out!" Irene held her forehead with her hand. She didn't want to explain. She was tired.

"You should know that you can't be so casual about this kind of thing." After a moment of silence, Fei'er looked at Irene deeply.

"However, now that you have said this, you should understand." Fei'er let out a long sigh, sat down next to the queen, and opened her arms.

"............" Then, her movements froze.

.........Why?

Even she herself wondered why.

It was just a hug and three cold words, was it that difficult? Why was she so repulsed? ?

Perhaps Fei'er doesn't even understand her true feelings.

Chapter 136: 28~This is the last time I will help you

"......Is it really too sudden?" Seeing that Fei'er did not move and react to her request, Irene remained silent.

As an elf, she knew how heavy the word "love" was. She really lost her mind to let someone say this word irresponsibly to do such an unprincipled thing.

"I'm sorry, I spoke out of turn and made quite excessive demands. You don't have to mind it." Irene lowered her head slightly and said apologetically.

"............." Fei'er still couldn't figure out what was going on, but these two were holy envoys from the Holy Tree of Elves after all, so they would definitely not do anything ridiculous.

They had their own reasons for doing this, and they had no choice but to do so in a desperate situation, but Fei'er really couldn't understand what was going on.

"Irene, don't be like this." Ceres, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, her pretty face showing some bitterness and disappointment. "Don't make things difficult for Miss Fei'er."

"This is the only thing that can't be forced. Even if Fei'er really hugged me and compromised by telling me that she loved me, it would only make me feel worse."

“….” Irene knew she had done something wrong and remained silent.

Dale, who wanted to speak the most, realized that the atmosphere seemed a little wrong, and she hesitated several times but failed to speak.

What the hell is going on? What do you mean I love you?

No, how did the two of them get together?

Before everyone in the room could think about it, the door was pushed open again.

This time, the person who came in was a snow elf soldier in a hurry.

"Lord Saint Envoy, Lord Dale, the soldiers from the northern tribes have surrounded Frostfall City!"

"So fast? Even if they have the golden leaf in their hands, the barbarians of the tribe should not arrive so quickly, right?" Irene quickly realized that these were the tribal soldiers who remained in the land of the elves. Obviously, they were not a group of defeated soldiers at all, and they had been obeying the command of the large army.

"So many troops were wiped out a few days ago, how come there are still so many soldiers left?" The northern tribes are risking their lives and are determined to fight to the death today.

This time, if the elves don’t die, the northern tribes will be the ones to die.

Having invested all his military strength but getting nothing in return is like a tiger with its claws plucked out, what awaits him will be the hunting of other hunters.

"Have they begun to attack the city?"

"No, they are just guarding outside to prevent people in the city from escaping."

“………” Irene held her forehead with her hand in pain.

Now, the atmosphere of war can no longer be concealed, and the people in the city are probably in a panic.

Just as she expected, outside the church and on the streets of the town, the elves were in turmoil. They stared at the sky outside the city in fear and confusion. The shadow brought by the iron hoof of war was like an indelible nightmare.

On this day, they recalled the helplessness and despair of having lost everything in the war.

As the soldiers evacuated, the residents hurriedly hid in their homes, closed the doors and windows, shivered, and placed their sense of security on the city walls that they could see on weekdays.

They all understood that without the barrier, the mostly plain land of the elves would be exposed. If their homes were still wooden villages, they would have been easily conquered by the invaders by now.

"Are they waiting for their main force to arrive?"

"should be."

"The northern tribes, didn't they sign a ceasefire agreement with you?" At this moment, Fei'er's voice interrupted. She retracted her arms and slowly stood up from the bed.

"That's right." Dale and Irene both looked as if they wanted to say something but were hesitant.

"But it was just a ceasefire agreement. If they want to tear it up, they can find countless reasons. Now, the reason they found is that the person who urged the signing of the ceasefire agreement is no longer alive, so the ceasefire agreement is invalid."

Regarding the agreement between the two countries, which takes effect from the moment it is signed, there is no explicit provision as to whether it will be invalid after the person who supervised the signing dies. In other words, there is no provision that the agreement will be invalid if the person dies, but there is also no provision that the agreement will still be valid if the person dies.

The northern tribes launched a war based on this rogue logic.

Obviously he came prepared.

The leader of the northern tribe seems to have not learned his lesson from the war.

Fei'er fell into deep thought.

If she is Sandil, what kind of bargaining chips does she have in her hand after experiencing a war against the elves?

It's not hard to understand if you think about it this way.

Sandil was holding the 'anti-elf treasure' in his hand.

"You just said that the northern tribe's army has entered the forest, right?"

"Yes." Dale also knew that now was not the time to worry about other things.

"Trouble." Fei'er looked up at the ceiling.

"Trouble?" Irene frowned, not knowing what Fei'er was referring to.

"If I remember correctly, during the last forest war, many of your people were abducted by the northern tribes, right?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Isn't this troublesome?" Fei'er sat down with a serious look. "Let me ask you, if the northern tribes threatened you with these elf captives, and told you that if you didn't open the city gate, they would kill your people outside the city in front of you, one for every minute that passed, and one of your compatriots would die outside the city for every minute you hesitated, would you open the gate or not?"

Yes, Fei'er thought of this from the beginning.

This is the so-called "anti-elves treasure". Even if they have reproduced for thousands of years, the total population of elves is very small. After all, the fertility rate is there, and elves are emotionally fragile, so it would be a miracle if they can give birth to humans.

Although elves are xenophobic, they are kind and innocent by nature. They value their own kind very much and they can even sacrifice themselves for a stranger.

Due to the special racial concept, this little trick has a miraculous effect on elves.

If it were the Empire, and they captured the citizens of the Empire and threatened them outside the city, the soldiers on the city walls would only say contemptuously, "You captured him, why should I open the door? Since you want to play so much, then let's see which is faster, your sword or my arrow. Everyone, shoot all your arrows!"

Then, before the enemy could kill the hostage, the imperial soldiers took the initiative and shot the hostage into a hedgehog.

Are you still hesitating? Let me teach you how to do it!

This is not Fei'er deliberately making things awkward, this is a real thing that happened, once a group of powerful bandits captured nearly an entire village, and dragged them to the gate of the city-state to demand the guards in the city-state to speak. At that time, the guards directly ordered thousands of arrows to be fired, and the bandits and the hostages were eliminated together. Since then, no one dared to use this trick on the empire.

This trick is really too stupid, but the elves will fall for it?
