Real elves vs fake elves

Aenarion: "Don't sign with Francis. Sign with his family. I remember he is from the Falcon family, right? Just sign with the Falcon family."

If we don't sign this trade agreement in the name of the family, and the heroes are gone in a few years, then wouldn't the agreement be signed in vain?

Even if they made up an agreement at that time, it would be easy for some unexpected changes to occur. It would be better to sign a trade agreement that is beneficial to them while the other party still remembers the life-saving grace.

Although Aenarion didn't know whether Francis's brother Nicholas would recognize this agreement given his evil nature...

After briefly discussing the trade agreement with Terry, Lothern's chief civil servant left the small room, and after drinking the last bit of happy water in the glass, Aenarion slowly buried himself in the sofa.

The moon is always there, and its holy moonlight fills the entire Elf Forest. I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the reflections of several craters on the moon appear to be clearer and clearer, as if they are about to form a weirdly grinning human face.

………………

At the border of the White Deer Royal Court and the Phoenix Royal Court, in a hidden valley.

Several female elves in luxurious clothes with holy white deer embroidered on their robes were gathered together. In front of them was a tall and strong elf. These elves had one thing in common, that is, there was a strand of red in the middle of their platinum hair, as if it was highlighted.

But obviously there is no such technique as highlighting in this world. This characteristic is innate and is also an external manifestation of the unique bloodline of the elves in the White Deer King's Court.

"Are you sure? Aenarion has left Lothern?" an elf in luxurious clothes asked first, with a hint of surprise on her face. "And it will take several days for him to come back?"

"That's right." The strong elf replied calmly, his expression as if covered with a layer of deathly ashes, "And they made sure to take away a hundred archers."

"Yes, yes." A robed female elf added, "My people just saw this group of people leaving here a few days ago. They must be going to deal with the border issue."

"What an idiot! There are always some bastards who are inexplicably confident because they have some strength, and then try to solve things that are obviously beyond their ability. Can a person like him solve things like demons?"

"It seems that the 100-man archer team is about to be wiped out. Apart from a caravan that has not yet set out, there are only ordinary law and order maintenance teams left in Lothern, which will not exceed 200 people at most."

"As long as we gather a team of 500 people, we will definitely win!"

Several female nobles in long robes were obviously excited. After casually discussing tactics for a few words, they actually started discussing the division of the spoils.

It seemed that victory was just around the corner for them, and it would be effortless to deal with the remaining troops of Lothern.

The strong woman just listened quietly at the side, with her head down and said nothing.

Just as the nobles were getting more and more excited in the discussion, a cough was heard, successfully stopping the nobles' chattering.

"We are very satisfied with the intelligence this time. The defense map you provided is also very clear, which is very good."

"We already know that you have managed to get a small position in Lothern, so we decided to give you another chance to make merit. You can lead those defenders into our ambush. Through these actions, we will give you some credit at our discretion."

"Do you have anything else to say?"

The person who spoke was a beautiful young woman, whose appearance was extremely outstanding even among the elves. She was the second daughter of the current White Deer King. After forcing her elder sister away through a series of wonderful court tactics, she was now the first heir to the White Deer King's court.

He is a real big shot.

The strong woman raised her head upon hearing that, with a hint of hope on her face.

"Can...can I see my husband again?"

The Second Princess smiled as expected, "Please pay attention to your address, commoner. You and that man are not married in the legal sense. Your union is not approved by the royal court. Not hanging you for violating the law is the greatest grace granted by the royal court. I hope you will always remember this!"

The strong woman quickly lowered her head and nodded reluctantly.

The Second Princess: "But I will also fulfill your request. He is right behind. Go and meet him."

"I have always said that I am a kind person, there is no doubt about that."

Chapter 55: Nesting dolls! Next nesting doll!

Once upon a time, there was a couple who lived in seclusion in the most remote area of ​​civilization, leading a simple but fulfilling life. Apart from trade, they had little contact with civilized society. Although they both had the noble blood of the Moonborn, the elves' unique indifferent character made them not have much desire to contact the secular world.

Happiness often comes from ignorance.

On a full moon night, when the couple was talking sweetly and enjoying their own happiness, several elf knights found them.

These knights declared them guilty with a series of laws that they could not understand, and then there was the terrifying arrest.

Killing is like a hunter hunting an animal.

The husband was taken away with a look of despair on his face.

His wife was seriously injured and was thrown into the forest by the knights like a discarded object. If it weren't for a few wild elves who were hunting passing by, she would have returned to the Moon God in no time.

It was another full moon night and the couple met again.

The female elves remained the same as before, but the male elves were wearing incredibly luxurious clothes.

Now, he has become one of the White Deer King's most beloved concubines.

The two people held hands together, seemingly full of tenderness, but in fact, there was a subtle disdain and disgust hidden in the male elf's eyes.

This is just a show.

"Wonderful" times are always short-lived, and the two soon separated again, just like last time, and the time before that.

Looking at the figure of the strong woman carrying a spear and walking away, and seeing that she was dressed like humans and dwarves, especially the way she gave up her skirt and changed into pants, several elves in the White Deer King's Court showed expressions of disdain and contempt.

"This is indeed a barbarian that only a wild king can lead. He actually imitated humans and wore pants. It's really rude."

"Yes, as ugly as an ape."

"But the material of these pants is really good. It seems to be the spider silk from Lothern? It is smooth and elastic, and has a little fluorescence. It is really a very good-looking cloth substitute."

"That's what makes it even more disrespectful! If these beautiful fabrics were made into skirts, how many laces, tassels, and decorations could be added!"

Seeing that some of her close associates had actually started discussing each other's pants, the Second Princess Bailu had to pretend to cough and successfully attracted the attention of these unreliable guys.

"Well, you have seen the intelligence this time. We already know the true situation of Lothern very well."

"I think we should organize a team of about 800 people. I know that this is almost all the strength we can mobilize. They are my most loyal people."

"But you must also understand that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The wealth of Lothern is almost equal to that of the entire White Deer Royal Court. As long as we take down Lothern, our power will surpass all other forces in the White Deer Royal Court in one fell swoop."

“Just think about it, what a wonderful scene that would be.”

"Besides, I think my mother has been in the position long enough, and she should give the younger generation some opportunities."

"And you are my direct descendants, my most loyal companions. If I become king, you will rise with me."

Under the big cake offensive, the White Deer nobles seemed to be really enthusiastic, and said that they could just take their own soldiers, and if they were not enough, they would take them later. Whether it was money or soldiers, there would definitely be enough!

This group of elves seemed to be really knocked unconscious by the pancake.

seem.

………………

The sturdy female elf went deep into the forest not long before she stopped, as if she was waiting for something.

She didn't have to wait long.

"How is it? Has the information been leaked?"

A graceful figure emerged from the darkness of the dense forest. When the moonlight illuminated her entire body, it turned out to be the captain of the rangers and the commander in charge of the current defense of Lothern - Daxi.

"It's all leaked out, as you ordered."

The strong woman knelt down and performed the etiquette of a subordinate.

Da Xi: “Did they believe it?”

Woman: "They believed it and asked me to lead the way. They thought they could make me surrender by controlling my...husband."

Da Xi smiled slightly, as if she had mastered the matter: "Very good, when the time comes, you will lead them and show your affection to your husband, otherwise they will not believe it."

The woman nodded again and then remained silent.

Da Xi glanced at the other person again, with a look that had some inexplicable meaning in it: "You don't still have feelings for your husband, do you? You should have clearly felt what he is like."

"The last time I came, I could sense his disgust!"

The woman remained silent.

Da Xi sighed: "I won't comment on this aspect, as long as you are happy."

"Finally, tell the sisters to get ready. We are going to give these idiots from the White Deer Royal Court a little surprise."

...the same night...

Aenarion stood outside the marching tent, and the guests had fallen asleep peacefully after the dinner. Lyanna was still looking at the moonlight with her cheeks drooping. She had been here for a long time. Several of her men stood in the distance with hesitant and sad faces. It was obvious that they wanted to persuade them but didn't know how to do it.

Aenarion did not try to persuade him, for he did not know how.

Terry, covered in thick fur, stood behind him at some point, looking at everything in front of her in the same posture as him.

It is desolate and silent, with the occasional strange roars of animals or calls of birds. It is what a primeval forest should look like, full of wildness.

After all, this is the outermost periphery of the barbaric tyranny.

"Are you going home tomorrow?" Tai Li asked softly, "You... still need to take care of yourself. Even though you are so great, you are not made of steel after all."

Aenarion was silent for less than two seconds, then shook his head. "Go directly to the White Hart Court."

Tyri was stunned, obviously surprised by what Aenarion said. "What did you say?"

Aenarion: "Go straight to the Court of the White Hart. Others may sleep beside my couch. I cannot always count on the river as my wall."

"I want to cross the river and seize a bridgehead."

Tai Li was shocked again: "But...but the White Deer Royal Court has an army of thousands of people, and we only have a hundred archers here..."

Before Terry could finish her words, Aenarion threw her a piece of information. It was a plan that Daxi had sent over day and night.

"Daxi believes she has the ability to lure an army of 500 men into an ambush. I believe in her plan."

"At the same time, I also made my own plan based on this. When the White Deer Elves attacked Lothern and its defenses were empty, I would drive a nail into the White Deer King's Court."

"This nail can serve as both a bridgehead for our attack and an outpost for our reconnaissance of the enemy."

With a macho smile, Aenarion looked at Tyri and said, "I have long wished to obtain the White Hart Court horse farm."

Chapter 56: The White Stag Knight Who Can Make Strong Men Cry

The White Deer Court is the main production base of the elves' cavalry, producing all kinds of horse cavalry and deer cavalry. The giant stag knights who are directly under the royal court are feared by all other races that enter the forest.

But this happened two hundred years ago.

With the coming to power of this White Deer King, the contract between the Moon Elves and the Giant Stag seemed to have disappeared. This noble animal companion was no longer willing to be the mount of the elven knights, and the elves' calls could no longer be responded to by them.

Even the Giant Stag Knight has disappeared, not to mention the legendary Griffin Knight who soared in the sky during the elves' heyday.

It can be said that the current White Deer Royal Court is at its weakest moment in history. The reason why they have not been swallowed up by other forces until now is entirely because of the deterrent power that the standing army of thousands of people gives to others.

But for a place with a population of only about 9,000 people to maintain a standing army of 1,000 people... this is definitely enough to fall into the category of militarism.

Maintaining a mobilization rate of over 10% is a bit exaggerated when looking at the whole world. This is not World War II, and the elves here do not have the productivity of the countries during World War II.

Because of the number of standing troops, the White Deer Royal Court's desire for external expansion is very strong, stronger than ever before.

This previous situation led to a very contradictory consequence, which was that the White Deer Royal Court was most eager to fight when it was at its weakest.

These bastards have been coveting Lothern for a long time, and they only want to plunder but not develop. They find it tiring to even look at Lothern, which has never been built.

"That's right. The Second Princess has gathered a total of 20 mounted knights, 45 stag knights, and about 100 foot knights, along with followers, standing troops, and conscripts, for a total of about people."

In the White Deer King's Court, the most magnificent gold and white building, in the throne room on the top floor, the White Deer King is listening to the report from the court officials.

This is the highest peak in the entire Bailu City. It stands out very abruptly and stands high above the rest, forming an absolute generation gap with other buildings in Bailu City. Judging from its architectural style, it is obvious that this is a great creation of the Guangyi Era.

In fact, this is a wizard tower, which was originally responsible for the detection of local ether particles and magical animals. But now its original function has long been abandoned and it has become the best stage for the powerful to show their status.

The White Deer King was wearing a pure white silk robe that shone with fluorescent light, and a luxurious headdress that looked like deer antlers. He was graceful and elegant, unlike Sofia, who was gaudy. The awe-inspiring temperament that only those in a superior position had made people feel inexplicably amazed.

"My dear daughter has great appeal, which is totally different from my good-for-nothing eldest daughter." The White Deer King used a file to trim his nails while making a pleasant sound. "I am very happy that she has the ambition to conquer other countries, but I don't like her using such armed forces without permission."

"Eight hundred people, they have drained more than half of our national defense force in one fell swoop. I really didn't expect that my dear daughter would have such a strong appeal."

Upon hearing this, the court official quickly began to explain. Her own king's words made her hair stand on end: "My king, it's not that the second princess has such amazing appeal, but those restless chivalrous knights all joined the second princess after hearing that they could finally launch a war of conquest."

"The Second Princess promised that as long as Lothern is captured, she will reward the knights according to their merits, and she also offered a minimum price of 30 hectares of land to the knights. Not to mention the chivalrous knights, even many of the knights who own land are eager to make a move."

The court official's explanation did not make the White Deer King show any expression. She continued to fiddle with her nails, as if she thought her nails were much more attractive than her daughter. "She is still the same. She still likes to seduce people with benefits."

"Those idiots don't even think about it. As greedy as she is, has she ever really fulfilled her promise?"

With a mocking smile on his lips, King White Deer naturally expressed his disdain for his own daughter.

That's better than you, at least they know how to make promises, and when it's time to deliver, they know to give people some crumbs as a hope, unlike you...

The court official murmured in his heart, but did not dare to say it out loud.

The White Deer King put down his nail clippers and looked at his courtiers with charming eyes: "Let my general take two hundred people

Hang behind that army and do as you see fit.”
