Since ancient times, there have been three races living on this ancient land-

The human kingdoms occupy the vast plains and basins in the south, the forest elves alliance that relies on the stretching mountains and huge forests in the middle, and the orc barbarians located in the desolate and cold northern territory.

As for how ancient this has been since ancient times, it is difficult to find out. Forest elves attach the most importance to history, but the clear records are only more than a thousand years ago, for the lifespan of forest elves...

It seems that what happened three or four generations ago was at most the glorious years of their grandfather's generation, and they would not have reached such a profound concept as "history".

After all, it is normal for forest elves to live for two or three hundred years, and there have been constant wars on the mainland.

Because of hatred (elves), resources (humans) and even I just dislike you (orcs)... and so on, for normal or strange reasons, small frictions, big conflicts, and war conflicts have basically never stopped.

There was a conflict breaking out while eating breakfast, a conflict breaking out while eating dinner, and even during midnight snacks, we had to worry about whether the cubs on the opposite side were ready to cause trouble again.

In this case, it is difficult to have anything that can be preserved for a long time.

The human kingdoms are constantly destroyed by war and are rebuilt on the ruins. Then they go through a period of glorious or heavy and difficult period, and then they are destroyed by the invasion of foreign enemies or the internal reasons for the despise of the meat eaters...

The orc barbarians in the northern border have evolved a strong body and a savage and rough personality because of the difficult environment. They are like nomadic peoples, and they live in normal times and can only go south when they are at the most difficult time...

Forest elves are a more peaceful and united race as a whole, and have not split up many forces. They can attack the dog's brains on weekdays.

But they are also under great pressure. They are usually targeted by humans. Those greedy guys are openly arguing about the country, but secretly they don’t know how many great nobles are buying human slaves with uneven quality in the business of slave hunting. Forest elves are very popular.

Moreover, when it is winter, they are just in front of the human kingdoms, and first face the orcs that are invading south...

Those barbarians were rough and terrifying and completely unreasonable, just like locusts, hungry and huge in number.

Wherever you pass, you may not be completely exposed to grassroots... Given the belief in nature, forest elves must also grit their teeth and compete with this huge group of barbarians to kill or drive them out who destroy the natural ecological balance without distinction.

When you find that the front is not very likely to win, the orcs and barbarians often go around and continue to go south to attack the human countries.

But no matter what, before that, I must have eaten the flesh and blood of the forest elves... Basically, it can be said that this is like this every year, and it is repeated.

It is precisely because of this that the strange and subtle balance between the three races was caused. Although the strength of the forest elves was not divided and preserved the most intact, they could not overwhelm the other two races...

The domestic strife of humans is severe, and the aristocrats and rulers are in great decay, but they can always survive the huge disaster brought by the orcs to the south. After all, the elves blocked them a good knife...

As for the situation of those orc barbarians?

The half-human and half-beast tribe did not have much wisdom and could not see even greater ideals. They did not want to leave the north, but they were driven back every time. Over time, they developed into the habit of robbing every time the winter could not survive.

The civilization process of the entire world seems to be dragged down in this rotten cycle, as if it was trapped in a quagmire, and it became very difficult to move forward in it.

Occasionally, someone will fall in it, and it takes more effort to get up... or even just can't get up.

Even if there are occasionally some prescient talents or forces, they are often short-lived, and their efforts cannot match the times.

After their death, the second generation of leaders took over, they soon returned to the previous path that was more in line with the cognition of people of this era.

People die and politics stop.

...

...

The sky became more and more gloomy, and the bitter wind whistled, but strangely, it never rained.

It just gives people a feeling of being more and more depressing, and there is a sense of calmness before the storm comes. In this case, the elves silently do not speak, but only speed up their work, although they feel depressed and rejected this kind of work.

Those who fought to death ran away after being beaten and left hundreds of corpses of their compatriots.

But why do you need them to deal with the funeral? It feels frustrating to think about it.

There is no custom of being buried, and whether it is for efficiency or to eliminate the possibility of plague, burning the corpses with fire is the best choice... The only trouble is that before moving them together, you have to peel off the weapons, clothes and other things.

The elves have a arrogant personality, but it does not mean that they are not short of resources. For example, overall, their metal smelting technology is even worse than that of humans, and their output is far inferior to that of humans.

But this is also impossible. They believe in the spirit of nature. Some industries that require large-scale development of resources and large-scale environmental changes are difficult to be recognized and approved in the forest.

So although it is very annoying to humans, the trade relationship between elves and humans is still necessary.

This is also the key to the conflict of opinions between the younger generation and the older generation. The former angrily demanded to block the forest, completely isolate the interactions with those despicable humans, kill all outsiders who intrude into it without authorization, and even called for a counterattack on the human world...

They felt that only in this way, Xuan Ling's anger could make the despicable guys understand what they were doing, those damn humans desperately arrest their brothers and sisters and do some disgusting things like slave traders.

No matter how you kill, you can't stop it, because those humans were beaten up, it was not painful enough! Many people in the slave hunting team even took it for granted that they were doing open and honest things and no one could blame them. The elves' revenge and counterattack were sinister and vicious behavior.

However, although the forest elves are not divided, they are not a unified kingdom system. Otherwise, they would not be the so-called alliance, but they are directly the kingdom.

No one can easily decide such a thing, and the older generation is much better at focusing on the height of the young generation than the young generation who is full of passion and anger.

After all, there are many things that need to be considered more, but the older generation has no intention to explain, and the younger generation cannot understand them, so dissatisfaction and resentment have accumulated.

——After all, it is the lack of effective communication.

The sky was getting darker, but no heavy rain had come, and there was not even thunder. It seemed that dark clouds were just gathering simply, making people feel hazy and depressed.

This kind of weather is a bit abnormal, but unfortunately no one thinks too much... Although even if you think too much, you won't get the answer, and it's even more impossible to solve any problem.

The group rushed back in a hurry, but they were unable to return to the village before the sun set. After all, there were a lot more things to bring than when they came out. Moreover, after sorting out the battlefield, most of them were tired.

Forest elves are good at agility and have better endurance than humans, but they are not the barbarians in the northern border area. Their physical strength is not good enough to remain in shape without feeling tired after dealing with hundreds of heavy corpses.

It is relatively easy for professionals who awaken magic, but most people do not have that qualification.

It is much better than humans. Often one or two of their populations can have magical qualifications in more than a dozen people, but not one of the one hundred people in humans... However, the latter has too strong reproductive ability, which effectively makes up for this defect.

The other extreme is the barbarians in the north. Almost every one of them awakens magic when they are adults... Although most of them cannot become high-level professionals, this is enough to crush ordinary people.

Or is it because their bodies are too strong? Many scholars have indeed put forward such opinions, believing that the so-called qualifications are actually because the body is a container carrying magic power. The stronger the body, the greater the chance of awakening magic power...

“…”

“…”

The bonfire was burning, and the fire broke into the flames and crackled. The fire illuminated the dim forest, and the warmth radiated dispelled the cold wind passing through the forest.

No one spoke, everyone was resting quietly and resting their energy.

The forest is not just the territories of elves, but also the hunting grounds for many monsters. Although it is safer to the villages and edges, it is not absolute. If those magical creatures are either without wisdom, they will be the real overlords on the earth.

In this way, I don’t know how long it took, the elf man in the lead slowly opened his eyes, looked around for a while, and then frowned obviously.

He seemed to have felt the ground shaking a little, but he didn't know if it was an illusion.

"It seems that Nidham hasn't come back? It should be time for the change of duty, right?"

His voice was very low, but several companions around him heard it. They looked around quietly and found that it was true. After that, they immediately grabbed the bow and arrow vigilantly and quickly woke up the others around them.

This situation must not be careless and must be treated with caution. If Nidham was delayed for a while by a small accident for a while, it would be fine, but if he was really killed unknowingly and could not even send a message at such a close distance, it would mean that there was danger approaching.

"Come two people to see me, don't move the others here, Veranica remember, if we don't come back, you will take them away immediately and don't look back..."

The elf man in the lead said in a deep voice and made a decision quickly.

The two companions quickly walked to his side and silently accepted the possible fate that might come next.

"Griffin..."

The elf woman named Veranika opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't object, just focused on her head. This was a choice that must be made and the responsibility they should bear...

At this moment, a sound came from the woods beside him.
