    The hustle and bustle of fighting in the Tia Forest also broke the peace of the Green City. News of human invasion came in, and panic was like rats running around in the sewers.  Drusilla, who had just attended the war meeting, walked out of the palace. Villette had been waiting for a long time.  "Is there a problem with the trade?" The princess was surprised by her friend's restlessness.  "Of course not, nothing has started. I'm hereforget it, tell me about the war situation at the meeting. We civilians have no information channels at all." Basically, this defensive war started and ended the same  It was short, but it still hurt.  The struggle between the slave-catching leaders of the Earcutters Guild and the rangers is particularly fierce. The hatred accumulated by the two sides for decades is like the fallen leaves of the rainforest, covering one layer after another.  But this time, most of the new fallen leaves were humans, and the unicorns played a big role. The detection spell alone broke the balance of the jungle battle, and the elf rangers had the overall upper hand.  Healing spells and neutralizing toxins saved more than a dozen lives. Now every ranger in the army expresses sincere gratitude and friendship to the unicorn.  Regrettably, due to poor communication, some opportunities were still missed.  The rangers could still make gestures, but the unicorns struggled to draw shapes with their hooves before the elves understood, and the process still needed to be adjusted.  Drushilia experienced both glorious achievement and heavy responsibility.  Let’s talk about the second batch of human attacks. A small number of slave hunters led the way, and the human army poured into the forest.  The usual measures taken by the slave-catching leaders were to steal, sneak in, ambush, run away after catching the captives, and try not to fight if they could avoid the rangers.  Thousands of human troops, on the other hand, rushed to the settlements like locusts through the forest periphery. Whether it was home-grown spices, amateur artworks or civilians' silk clothing, they left nothing that could be taken away. Crazy.  Even the clothes and pants are not spared.  The houses in the settlement were torn to pieces and then set on fire. Although no elves were captured by the human army, the greatest losses were caused.  The enemy is menacing but easy to target. After all, the forest is not a place for group operations.  The ranger generals did not confront them head-on, and the army's shield array was not easy to break.  But compared to the slave-catching team, the enemy lacks the means to fight back.  In less than five days, dehydration disease, carnivorous plants, and all-night arrows kept the army reeling.  People who seek wealth are driven by greed and become timid when their losses outweigh their gains.  After the casualties exceeded 10%, the army collapsed and fled into the forest.  The rangers chased each other one after another, and the roots of the trees in the southeast line drank blood.  "The enemies in the forest have been basically eliminated, and losses from various places are being reported. Although most of the hostages in the slave-catching team have been rescued, 25 compatriots are still missing. It is said that the leader of the human team who attacked is called 'Pike', and the rangers only found their team.  Traces of it. I remember hearing about him when I attended the Ranger Festival thirty years ago. How can humans live so long and dare to come at such an old age? " "You are talking about the current pike's father. What is his name?  Inherited." Ramesile came towards me.  Violet couldn’t help but look back, but there was nothing.  "What's wrong?" the ranger asked.  “Every time you join our conversation, you appear from behind like a ghost. I’m not used to seeing you from the front.” The elf merchant joked.  "Then I must get rid of the bad habit of taking the front." Lamesile turned his head and said, "Liya, has the elders passed the issue of rescuing compatriots outside the forest?" "Father is working on this matter, I think it is not a big problem."  "Great." Ramesilai summed up his desire to kill the slave catchers in one sentence.  The ranger left and he wanted to report.  Violet hesitated and said: "Liya, I don't know what to say I'm afraid the temple will block the issue of sending troops." The princess's eyes widened: "Impossible! Those are compatriots, not alien dragons. Temple  Is there any reason to object? If you dare to say no to the rescue, who will believe in a god who betrays the race? "Villet, are you thinking too much?" "The chief priest does not need to directly object, just question the details of the troop dispatch, and then change the pace of the meeting.  By dragging it into a normal rhythm, the goal will be achieved. "Drusiliya took a breath. The normal rhythm of the Presbyterian Church is to drag on and on, and trivial matters can last for several days.  After the issue of sending troops was passed, the elves who were imprisoned in the slave-catching transit fortress outside the forest did not know where they were.  " "What's the reason for this?  There must be a reason for doing something that harms Tia's interests. There is no contradiction between rescuing fellow citizens and the teachings of the Lord of Ceremonies.  " "You come with me.  "Villette pulled the princess towards the Opera Theater of the Sun Chaser. Drusilla was surprised to find that the theater was packed with seats, and the person speaking impassionedly on the stage was a priest. "My compatriots, I know your sorrow and confusion, just like in the past.  I stumbled through the maze of life until I found the guiding light of the Supreme Being.  ” “I also understand why you reject faith.outside the door.  Questioning the authenticity of our Lord’s existence and fearing the harshness of the ritual path.  It's not a sin to question, everyone has fear.  But now, reality has proven that it is the dragon Lesatos that appeared outside Ludu!  "    "What!  "The princess, who was hiding in the audience with a hood, almost fell over. It was as ridiculous as hearing a sparrow singing about a python. The priest looked at the elves' reactions with satisfaction and said: "Both gods and dragons hide in epic myths, and the latter has already  Appear and display your strange magic power.  So why isn't the Lord of Ceremony real?  I can tell you clearly that the eyes of the Supreme Being are suspended over Ludu, watching over every Tiya. As long as you abide by the etiquette, you will surely ascend to the Kingdom of God after death!  " "Compatriots! The dragon's weapons and magic require a price, but eternal life in the Kingdom of the Supreme One does not need a price!  Etiquette is the guide to entering the Kingdom of God, and the door to self-salvation will never be closed!  Praise Nieron, the all-powerful one!  " " Praise Nieron!  "The fascinated audience shouted, even if they were not believers, they at least supported it symbolically. They were worried about the invisible eye of God. Violet quickly pulled the dazed princess out of the theater, whispering on the way: "  Dragons and gods are legends—dragons are real—so gods are real.  What a simple syllogism, but it is enough to deal with the compatriots who have no master.  Due to the destruction of the human army, a large number of refugees poured into Green City. There were two such lectures every day, and the effect was quite amazing. The queue for baptism was queued up for hundreds of meters in front of the temple door.  " "The most brilliant thing is that the temple only makes use of the authenticity of the existence of the flame mage, but does not change the judgment of the evil nature of the dragon.  In the past few days when you were busy coordinating the relationship between unicorns and the army, your faith expanded rapidly.  The chief priest will not allow the appearance of a 'hero who saves his fellow elves' to ruin this situation.  " Drusilia's mind was in a mess, unwilling to admit the reality, and she was thinking hard about the reasons to refute Violet. Will the temple put faith above the overall interests of Tia? Yes, the eleven elves who fell on the altar flashed  Entering the princess's mind, their fanaticism would be like this. I thought that the temple, which suffered a major blow during the God's Birthday Ceremony, would be honest for a while, but I didn't expect that the counterattack would be so sharp. I could win over the people with a few words of conceptual replacement. "I can also give a speech to refute them.  fallacy.  " "It's useless.  The businesswoman objected, "The people need faith support. If you refute the temple's theory, the anxious believers will not thank you for it."  There is no reason to argue with mentally disturbed refugees. They will transfer their pain to you, thus pushing the royal family to oppose the common people. This is exactly what the high priest wants.  Originally, as long as a hero could appear to rescue his compatriots, the situation could be broken, but now, alas" "We have weapons and unicorns, so why can't we bring back our helpless and struggling compatriots? What does my efforts these days mean?  Drushilia sat on the roadside, curled up in pain, "The magical envelope that only the recipient can see the words can give you wings to fly!"  Just a few gems and gold coins, take them all home!  "The incongruous hawking sound attracted the princess. The two ladies followed the sound to the fountain square and saw Flamir holding seven or eight magic products and hawking them. "Look at this!  When you open the magic music box, not only will there be music, but there will also be a dancing image of a unicorn. It only costs 200 gold Isn't this Princess Leia? I'm sorry.  "The Demon Eye Supervisor smiled apologetically. "I'm here to discuss the trade details. I've already informed you. I'm waiting to be interviewed when I see so many potential customers. I can't help buthehe" "Good day, my name is Weir.  Li Te, who happens to be the person in charge of trade, let’s go to the business hall to talk.  "The businesswoman turned around and was about to greet the princess when she found Drusilia holding an illusion music box, her eyes bright and frightening. "Liya?  " A mysterious smile flew onto Drushilia's face. She suddenly had a crazy idea. If the temple did not allow heroes to appear, then she would be a hero herself! Through magic! " Let's go and count my belongings and prepare to arrive.  Huanyan Mage's shop has a big purchase.  "Drusiliya smiled and made a pun.
