Chapter 393: elf kingdom
In fact, when leaving, someone only wanted to stay away from Pilsen City, and had no plan at all about where to go. Just grab the biggest road and walk down the road. And then...the embarrassment.
Agreeing to sell browser magic stones to the Magician Association, which is all lost, is before someone is seriously injured. During the more than a month of serious injury, the world has changed a lot. In particular, the users of the forum showed explosive growth, giving people a feeling that the magician associations everywhere were ready and waiting.
As for what are they waiting for? It won't be someone who agrees to set up a fund so that all places can get rid of the intellectual property rights of the lost version. Maybe there are only a few chapter presidents who put a bounty on someone's head. But now it seems that everyone is waiting for such a result.
Regardless of the matter that has been resolved, what were the original thoughts of all parties involved. The explosive growth of users on the forum naturally brought news several times more than that to the virtual platform of the lost version.
The first one to be impacted was actually Kaya's forum indexing program. The original intention of this program is to integrate related topics together and organize them according to their relevance. But now, it is necessary to create an index for the two index clouds of people and events. Otherwise, in addition to the search function, if you want to directly use the time sequence to view recent major events, there are too many things to see.
The reason why I am so interested in this function designed by Kaya is because someone doesn't care about current affairs, but he still reads the so-called "Know Yourself, Know Your Enemy, and Win a Hundred Battles" in Sun Tzu's Art of War. It doesn't hurt to know a little bit about where you're going and what the general situation is.
But it’s okay if you don’t look at it. After working so hard to guide the black-haired and brown-skinned girl to adjust the forum index program and read the forum evaluations of the places she walked along this road, someone wanted to take a detour. .
The 'arrogance' of the elves is only more exaggerated than the rumors someone heard in the tavern before.
The Pyat Jaime Kingdom is actually a small city-state country with a small population, most of which are concentrated in the capital. But the territory is not small, including several high-quality grain-producing areas, as well as many minerals, including some precious metal mines.
The kingdom was established after the fall of the elf empire in the past, and the few elves who retained their strength migrated here. At that time, this place was far away from the traditional civilization development area, and belonged to an out-and-out wild area. After that, it experienced the silent development of the human dynasty, but in the dark age when a certain demon king ruled, the kingdom was destroyed once. After ushering in the light, the survivors returned to the original site and re-established the kingdom.
The resilience of such a race and country that has experienced turmoil cannot be compared with that of ordinary emerging countries. Compared to the romance of the elves in the rumors, in fact, if you study the national policies of the existing elf kingdoms, you will find that they are more pragmatic than many human kingdoms.
Among other things, just mentioning the dark years of the elves, like animals, they were constantly hunted and hunted by slave teams of other races, and then countless half-elves were born. The few elf kingdoms that survived those years all used real swords and swords to fight with others to create their own piece of pure land.
The price of loving peace is to allow others to bully you, or to be so cruel that people dare not bully you. The existing elf kingdoms all follow the latter route.
The character of the entire nation is ruthless enough, and the strength of a natural individual is higher than that of other races, so it is not difficult to imagine how arrogant this race's character will be.
As long as a stranger approaches, they will first suspect whether the approaching person has malicious intentions. If there is any action that exceeds the rules, it will be killed first and then investigated. Manslaughter is considered bad luck. Anyway, within the scope of their territory, bring the army to discuss with them to see which is more important, sovereignty or human rights.
As for the resources in their territory, for a race that has more druids than magicians, it is extremely protected and then limited access. Even if it is a plant, a rabbit, or a monster, adventurers from outside the kingdom dare to come, they will all be treated as poachers and illegal harvesters, and the only death penalty.
Even monsters without the concept of Homo sapiens territory ran outside the kingdom and ate people. Avengers who cross the border to hunt down monsters will also be treated as poachers, and the fate is self-evident.
For travelers, if they want to pass through the land of the elf kingdom, it is best to ensure that they have enough dry food and water. Not to mention the act of catching some small animals for dinner on the spot, sometimes drinking a sip of water from them will cause problems.
Under such circumstances, the few borders bordering other countries' territories are naturally full of disputes. The Elf Kingdom also adheres to the attitude of breaking hands and feet, and firmly maintains the integrity of the kingdom's territory, and protects the people and resources in the territory.
So the so-called "peace-loving" by the elves is actually the kind of peace in which I will not attack you, but please detour if you see me. It is best for the two sides to never communicate.
It is precisely because the attitude of the whole country is very tough, and based on the reason that more things are worse than less things, someone wants to find a way around this troublesome country from the map. Even though there is a Demon Lord in my group who destroyed the kingdom once, it doesn't feel difficult to do the same thing a second time.
Even if she is considered lonely now, with only two or three kittens around her, but if she wants to wipe out a country by herself... it's better not to think about whether she can do it or not. Because a certain person can't figure out how far the research related to his own thinking has made this lich progress. So what I can make up for now is to try not to let this one have the chance to go crazy.
It's just that the sky never obeys people's wishes...
There is a fork in the road that can bypass the kingdom of Pyat Jaime. But just before turning smoothly and heading away from the troublesome kingdom, a group of camel knights surrounded the two carriages.
Someone who was originally staying in the carriage, studying the map and information from various places, and thinking about the next direction, noticed that the carriage stopped and the sound of yelling came from outside, and he secretly made preparations , and then came down from the rear compartment. The first thing that catches the eye is a group of blue-feathered camels with the same coat color, which looks quite dazzling.
You must know that Luo Niao is a monster. Apart from being unable to pull carts and goods, it is effortless to carry heavy knights for long-distance raids. The endurance can be said to be the best among all conventional war mounts. Simply put, it is impossible to escape from the knight riding a camel bird just by relying on the situation of two ordinary horses each pulling a cart.
Although camels are good at running, they can still fly short distances at low altitudes by flapping their wings vigorously, or glide to the ground from high places. It can be said that it is an excellent war ride with no shortcomings. In terms of the difficulty of captivity, it is also much higher than ordinary war horses. To be able to use the same fur color and choose a similar body shape, that is something that ordinary organizations and forces cannot do.
Regardless of the envy, jealousy and hatred of seeing a bunch of luxury cars of the same model and color on tour just like on Earth, the armor on these knights is also very interesting.
Except for one of them, the armor of the rest of them obviously belonged to the standard equipment, and all of them had the same gorgeousness. And behind this magnificence, there is a silent murderous intent hidden. Some people will criticize the elves' equipment for being flashy, but usually what those people see is the elf-style armor made by human nobles, the kind that only learns the fur.
Real elf equipment, the gorgeous pattern and color matching, but the combination of genuine magic patterns and magic materials, is completely different from the generally recognized enchanted equipment. In terms of armor, we only pursue stronger defense and lighter weight for better flexibility. In terms of weapons, they are more durable, sharper, etc., and are constantly pursuing higher destructive power.
The elves will not add some weird magic to their weapons and equipment, just want to defeat the enemy by surprise. Their pursuit of melee is better equipment and better martial arts. The former is just to continuously strengthen the attack and defense power, while the latter is purely to hone one's skills.
Such a level of equipment can be standardized and mass-produced, it is impossible for a second- and third-rate small organization to do it. As for the one wearing the unique armor, that's even more extraordinary. Even a layman can tell that the grade of the armor is higher than others~www.readwn.com~ and even faintly exudes the aura of magic power.
Is this the regular army of the Kingdom of Paijaime? Have strayed into their country?
If you are an outsider who has no concept of geography, you may be intimidated by this battle, but Lin is very sure that he has not yet entered the scope of the kingdom.
The difference between the lost land and the earth is that there are gaps between some countries. It's not that people don't want to occupy it, but that before occupying it, they must first deal with the natural creatures entrenched on it, including king-level monsters. The power developed to this day by Midi is still unable to surpass the powerful creatures that exist in nature.
In addition to boundary markers, most countries choose to use natural boundaries, such as rivers, mountains, forest edges, etc., to mark national borders. The border line of the Pyat Jaime Kingdom in this direction is a valley leading to the interior of the kingdom. As a terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is an important place that any force must seize.
This also means that if you come from this direction, as long as you don't enter the valley, you are not considered to be entering the territory of the Kingdom of Pyat Jaime. So what are these people here for? But I've never heard that the elves will also act as guest robbers and come to rob the road.
Someone who got out of the car looked at the knights. They talked in Elvish, very softly. Lin said in a fascinated lingua franca, "Guys, I don't think we have invaded your country's territory yet."
"Of course you haven't. This is an unowned territory, and my main destination is to find you." The one who also replied in Common Tongue was the camel knight in particularly gorgeous armor. It was a female voice, and it sounded familiar.
