On this side, the Giant Eagle Knights began to evacuate quickly, while on the other side, in the Gray Elf Castle in the Sunset Mountains, due to the fact that the Giant Eagle Knights were performing tasks outside, the territorial adjustment would undoubtedly be delayed a lot, and

Luo Ji obviously had to stay in this gray elf castle for a while.

During this period of time, he did not live a leisurely life. The army of dark elves had been so raging before, causing a large number of casualties to the gray elves.

After statistics, the total number of melee infantry troops was 1,331, and the long-range rear-row troops were 527.

Among them, the mage troops and griffon knights, which Luo Ji valued more, naturally had to be taken out and counted separately.

The final statistics showed that there were 287 mage troops and only 36 gryphon knights left...

In addition, there were actually some military equipment such as ballistae, but Luo Ji basically looked down upon those things.

In this wave, the Gray Elf clan has suffered heavy losses.

At the same time, the total population is surprisingly small, with only a pitiful 190,000 gray elves.

However, there seems to be a reason for this.

After Luo Ji asked Sera, he learned that a civil strife broke out in the gray elves five hundred years ago.

At that time, the Gray Elf King wanted to pass the throne to his second son Orcas. As soon as the news came out, the eldest prince Redis, as the first heir to the throne, was naturally dissatisfied. After a bitter struggle to no avail, he directly launched the

Rebellion.

A civil war caused the Gray Elf clan to lose a large number of people. Finally, when Redis fled the Sunset Mountains, he took a large number of his clan members with him and degenerated into dark elves, the same group of guys who invaded the Sunset Mountains before.

Luo Ji was speechless when he heard the history of the elf clan's split. It was originally a royal clan of elves, but ended up splitting into high elves and gray elves. After that, the gray elves didn't stop calming down and split into a branch of dark elves.

, these elves are a bit too noisy, right?

Of course, leaving aside the population issue that left him speechless, the gains from this wave are still considerable. For example, the magic core in the gray elf royal family's treasure house and the two magic crystal veins in the Sunset Mountains are obviously rare.

resource.

At the same time, the inventory of some ore resources in the warehouse is also sufficient. The elves have always been a typical example of long lifespan, small population, and slow development, so many of their resources cannot be used. It can be said that Luo Ji is completely cheap.

In addition, it doesn’t take much to think about the biggest gain in this wave. It must be the mid-level spells and high-level spells of various types owned by the gray elves!

He looked through the spell books in his hand with some excitement. Although Luo Ji didn't learn spells, so he didn't understand them very well, but he was in a good mood and just wanted to look through them.

Of course, Luo Ji threw the book that recorded earth spells directly to Jie Zichuan.

Therefore, Jie Zichuan has been staying in his room these past few days, immersed in reading and learning new spells, without being seen at all.

By the time he had read through the few spell books at hand, the night was already quite dark.

Luo Ji rubbed his stomach, which was obviously a little hungry, and stretched, turned his head and glanced at Ike, who was on duty tonight, and then asked with a smile...

"Ike, are you hungry?"

After hearing this, Ike shook his ears and obviously became more energetic.

"Kind of."

"Okay, let's go get some midnight snacks."

As he spoke, Luo Ji stood up and left the study that was supposed to belong to the Gray Elf King. Ike, who had gained some energy, naturally followed him quickly.

Luo Ji's guards can be said to have different personalities. Compared with the other guards, Ike is more lively. After getting to know each other for a long time, he will not be too reserved.

It doesn't matter if you are more formal when doing business and more relaxed at ordinary times. Luo Ji thinks this is good.

The Gray Elf Castle was unusually quiet at night. In the long castle corridor, the only sounds of Luo Ji and Ike's footsteps could be heard.

After walking for a while, a figure on the balcony outside the castle caught Luo Ji's attention.

"Aren't you still going to bed so late?"

After getting closer, Luo Ji asked casually as he looked at Mia, who was looking into the distance in a daze.

Mia had obviously heard Luo Ji's footsteps a long time ago, and now after hearing the question, she slowly turned around.

The bright moonlight falling from the sky added a bit of chill to the silver-haired Mia.

She maintained her cold face and said while saluting Luo Ji...

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Mia will go to rest now."

After saying that, she walked away directly. Even Ike, who was usually in a cute state for a long time, could clearly feel her bad mood, and then tilted his head with an incomprehensible look.

"I really don't understand why she is unhappy. What's wrong with submitting to our civilization?"

When Luo Ji heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and there was an inexplicable meaning in the slight curvature of the corners of his mouth.

"She is not unhappy because she has submitted to our civilization of all worlds..."

At this point, Luo Ji's voice paused slightly, and instead of continuing, he changed the topic...

"Let's go and have a midnight snack."

After saying that, Luo Ji took a step forward and walked out.

Ike, who didn't know why, naturally followed him quickly. As for other things, he couldn't figure it out anyway, so he didn't think about it anymore. It was more important to have supper with His Majesty.

After grabbing some midnight snacks and filling his stomach, Luo Ji went directly back to his temporary bedroom to rest.

That's right, Mia is not unhappy because her gray elves have surrendered to the civilization of all worlds. The most fundamental reason lies in Luo Ji's actions.

Under the premise that she had made various promises, Luo Ji still used an almost threatening method to achieve his own goals and maximize benefits.

Although it cannot be said that he was unscrupulous, he was also quite ruthless, almost crushing the little trust Mia had in him, and making Mia feel like she had been betrayed. This was why she had always been cold.

The biggest reason for a face.

But Luo Ji didn't care.

As the supreme ruler of all civilizations, he must consider the interests of the entire civilization.

According to Mia's promise, the gray elves will inevitably choose to continue to maintain their royal rule rather than submit to the civilization of all realms.

If there was no chance at that time, then of course there was nothing to say, but the problem was that the situation at that time, the opportunity to conquer the gray elves was almost right in front of him. If he could not seize it, it would be very inconsistent with his usual behavior.

behavior.

As for Mia, a top mage unit with five stars in spirit and four stars in intelligence, will anything happen in the future? The answer is impossible.

Whether considering the situation of the gray elves or Mia's own character, the most she could do was to make cold remarks to Luo Ji.

Luo Ji would not take this to heart at all, because to a large extent, as a ruler, Luo Ji was tolerant. He would not force everyone to be respectful to him. He would rather,

Everyone under him can do things seriously and responsibly. As long as he does everything he asks and does it beautifully, then everything will be easy.
