Chapter 43 The Empty Golden Forest
In fact, although the nominal territory of the Golden Forest Elf Kingdom is the core area of the Golden Forest, the elves are the orthodox ruling tribes of the Middle Earth world in the first two epochs. Even though the elves are gradually beginning to decline due to changes in the world plane, as the saying goes, the centipede insects die without being stiff. Until now, they are still the most powerful and mysterious force in the Middle Earth world.
Therefore, with the Golden Forest as the center, there are more than a dozen human towns around it, and they are actually controlled by the Golden Forest. The towns have a population of nearly 200,000, and the smallest are 200,000 to 30,000. The mayors are all half-elves supported by the elves in the Golden Forest.
The so-called half-elves are the mixed blood of elves and humans. These mixed blood are despised by orthodox elves, but they themselves are proud of the elves' bloodline in their bodies and do not regard themselves as dirty and inferior humans in their hearts. Instead, they regard themselves as part of the elves and use their power wholeheartedly to contribute to the elves kingdom in the golden forest.
Therefore, the elves in the Golden Forest not only have the terrible foundation accumulated in the previous eras, but also millions of humans in the surrounding areas use their hard work to "transfusion" to support them. Therefore, the elves in the Golden Forest lineage are proud of other elves in the Middle Earth world in terms of absolute strength, because the elves in other elves are too proud, proud and stubborn, and completely suppressed and looked down upon humans. The Golden Forest Elf Kingdom has not just spent some time managing its endorsement power in humans, and has achieved such great results. On the one hand, this indeed proves the fact that the elves are on a downward path, and on the other hand, it also shows that the human race continues to reproduce and begins to become stronger.
In fact, in the "The Lord of the Rings" series after "The Hobbit", it has actually shown that the elves are about to leave Middle-earth and look for the survival of other worlds. There is also the scene where the elves king ordered their subjects to relocate. At that time, the era of the elves was gradually over, and the era of the human beings was quietly coming. At the same time, there are records of the elves in various myths and legends in the real world.
In Europe, it is generally believed that the original owner of Europe was the elves, and then humans rose up and fought with the elves. Finally, they defeated the elves, exterminated this elves, and became the ultimate master of the continent. At that time, the elves changed from controllers to prisoners. Human nobles enjoyed raising and imprisoning elves, because elves, both men and women, looked extremely handsome, which was very in line with some of the human forbidden enjoyment.
However, at least in the world where Xiao Xuan is now, the elves are still the most arrogant and powerful, which also forces Xiao Xuan and others to wear makeup and sneak when entering this area radiated by the Golden Forest.
Fortunately, the makeup effect is good. After entering the town, even though there was a arrest notice posted at the entrance of the town, no one found that the Chinese team and others were the people who offered rewards to arrest them in the notice.
The hotel was found by Wang Zhi. It was a very simple small hotel. The house was full of holes and the food was rough. Of course, this is also because humans in this period had not yet been able to truly develop the most brilliant civilization. Even the food culture, on the one hand, the elves learned to eat fine and fine food, but because of their own conditions, sometimes they could only drink wine and eat meat like dwarfs. After all, not every human being can enjoy the life treatment of the elves that are similar to the nobles.
Fortunately, the Chinese team and others didn't care much about this. They had sleeping bags, but it was much more comfortable than sleeping directly on the broken wooden boards in the guest room. Even if they were eating, they had physical reserves and some condiments. They could find some ingredients to come over and make a meal.
Since entering this town, the Chinese team seemed to have been staying quietly. Xiao Xuan was wandering around the town casually every day, looking over there, looking over there, not anxious about the main task at all. Under his demonstration, Wang Zhi, Lei Ren and Yuan Yuxin also relaxed. Anyway, everyone earned a lot of reward points this time. Even if the main task failed, it was no big deal. Anyway, the reward points were deducted enough. Everyone was in a disguised way of traveling and relaxing.
It was undergoing self-restoration, and the most important thing is that it is now confirmed that the Icelandic team should not have obtained the Aken Gem. Although Xiao Xuan is not sure what is going on, whether Dawson encountered something that could not be solved even by his calculations. However, no matter what the reason, since the Icelandic team that has gained the trust of the Golden Forest has not been able to obtain the Aken Gem. Obviously, it is very difficult to obtain the Aken Gem. If the Chinese team goes there now, it may be in vain, and the results they receive are probably very small.
He stayed in the town for another half a month. On this day, Xiao Xuan, who was wandering in the town, saw a team of cavalry entering the town. The person who carried this cavalry was the mayor of the town, a half-elf. The half-elf also inherited the handsome appearance of the elves, but he did not inherit the other abilities of the elves. For example, he gained magical abilities and failed to inherit the elves' shooting skills and fighting abilities. In the eyes of pure-blooded elves, the offspring of the noble elves was a blasphemy to the bloodline of the noble elves.
"The Golden Forest collects mercenaries! If you are willing to come, come to the mayor to sign and pay the deposit. This time, all human towns near the Golden Forest have begun to recruit soldiers. A war to fight against evil is about to begin, a war to defend peace in Middle-earth is about to ignite, and a stage for heroes has been built. At this time, it is time for you to respond to the call!..."
The mayor kept giving speeches and spitting, but it did achieve good results. In this small town, there were indeed a large number of middle-aged men, rangers and adventurers. In just a short while, thousands of people began to sign up around the mayor.
After signing and sealing the contract, you can get a deposit. The contract spirit during this period is still very high. Most people will not do anything to get the deposit but escape directly. If it is spread, they will be regarded as cowards for the rest of their lives. Moreover, although humans have established some human kingdoms of their own during this period, they have not yet formed a true sense of ethnic honor. Most humans still regard elves as their leaders and believe that elves are born nobles, so they are summoned by elves to serve as their mercenaries. No one thinks this is an insult, but rather an honor.
After seeing this scene, Xiao Xuan returned to the hotel and told others what he saw and heard. Wang Zhi frowned slightly and asked: "The Golden Forest suddenly began to indicate to the human mercenaries in his affiliated areas. Is there any push from the Icelandic squad?"
"This is unknown. After all, we have not been able to enter the real core area of the Golden Forest, and we have not even seen an elf belonging to the Golden Forest." Xiao Xuan replied.
"On the other end, this recruitment, should we also get into the troubled waters to catch fish?" Lei Ren touched his head and suggested.
"Fishing in troubled waters?" Xiao Xuan shook his head and said, "Go to a bunch of mercenaries, even if you muddle the water, you can't touch any fish."
"Then, what should we do?"
"We have had enough rest. Now the time is almost done. We will enter the Golden Forest now." Xiao Xuan stood up and made a decision.
"But the Golden Forest is extremely strict in defense, and there are many elves inside..." Lei Ren wanted to say something, but suddenly saw Xiao Xuan shaking his finger at him, so he obediently shut up.
"I believe that at this time, the troops in the Golden Forest should have been transferred away. Now, it is the time for the Golden Forest to defend the worst." Xiao Xuan said with confidence, and his tone was so decisive.
...
He easily avoided some of the elves sentries outside the Golden Forest. The Chinese team went deep into the core area of the Golden Forest, which was where the elves lived. It was exactly the same as Xiao Xuan guessed. The more he walked in, he found that the defense was looser. This was not because the elves were lazy, but because the number of guards was too small and too small, and it was impossible to truly cover the entire core area. The whistle and cavalry on the periphery should be used to cover people's eyes and ears.
"Boss, you really guessed it. How did you know that the elves in the Golden Forest have already been dispatched to leave?" Lei Ren slapped Xiao Xuan's flattery in admiration.
"The recruitment of the Golden Forest Elf Kingdom was too high-profile and deliberate, and he recruited many people and the scope was very large. It clearly told the world that he was gathering troops to prepare for battle.
Moreover, the most important point is that the person who is really responsible for recruiting troops and constantly recruiting troops without any action of collecting grain. After gathering so many troops, he must prepare enough food and grass in advance. These food and grass must be raised by humans themselves, and humans must also bear the food and grass of the elves. So many people from the army eat horses, and the food and grass consumed must be astronomical, but the mayor is not prepared at all. This obviously shows that his recruitment is a trick to see outsiders. Based on this argument, it can be inferred that the elves in the Golden Forest have actually been dispatched in advance under the cover of the illusion.
