As a territory of an elf, Chongming Island is a large dense forest, and Chongming City is built in this forest.

Trees, thorns and earth and stones create a tall city wall, and within this city wall is a dreamy city. The buildings of the elves are not as regular as those built by the human race, with clear streets and houses. Freedom and art fill the souls of each elves. They can build wooden houses on towering trees, or build dwarf villages in gardens. The vine bridge connected between trees is their streets. Various small animals can walk into their homes at will to take away the leftover food on the dining table.

Originally, this was a city full of peace and freedom, but now it has completely entered a state of war.

Centaurs are forming one square after another, dwarves pushing their artillery and various supplies, elves archers have entered the city walls and the tall wooden arrow towers in the forest, Pegasus knights blocked the sky above Chongming Island, tree people moved slowly towards the coastline, and beautiful unicorns and dragons making loud calls.

Chongming City has completed all preparations for the war.

A small team of Pegasus knights brought Daliang into the city, and the identity of the King of Donghai was directly under the nobles, allowing Daliang to be received by the Marquis Joshua, the lord of Chongming City.

In the Marquis' castle, in a room used to receive visits from outside, Daliang met the Marquis of Joshua in time as he wished.

He is a male elf in his prime, wearing armor and ready to go to war. When he saw Daliang, he raised his chin and said in the tone of a superior: "I haven't been to Shangjiang City for a long time. I have never seen you, but your badge is real. It seems that you are a new noble. His Majesty the King of Donghai is willing to send a direct noble to me to negotiate, and I feel his sincerity. But... If Shangjiang City wants to negotiate, it must immediately return my Feichen Island and hand over the murderer who killed the Archangel Andre. Andre has been doing his best to defend me and my city. I will avenge him with my own hands. If you do not agree to this condition, we will not accept any request for peace talks."

"Ahem," Daliang cleared his throat a little embarrassedly, "Well, what should I say? Let me introduce myself. My name is Daliang. I just was enthroned as a baron today. My fief... is Feichen Island..."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became cold.

"You are really brave!" Marquis Joshua pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword. He couldn't believe that an archangel, the golden dragon, who killed him during the day, and the murderer who occupied the crystal mine, actually walked into his castle openly at night.

Daliang stretched out his hands and signaled that he had no malice. He said, "I hope the Marquis can let me finish my words. You will not do you any good to kill me now. Those who killed Andre and the two golden dragons were standing outside. I don't know if she is your opponent, but you should know that she is very fast and bloodthirsty. Now only I can suppress her killing nature. You don't want her to be out of control here, right?"

The level 15 creature who killed Andrey on Feichen Island, two golden dragons and all the remaining elves actually came! Joshua looked at the direction of the door vigilantly.

Through the final report of the hero of the Elf Flying Dust Island defender, the Marquis knew that this was a creature that could move at high speed in the sub-space, and such a guy was far more difficult to deal with than those level 15 ground creatures. On both sides, Joshua was confident of dealing with a level 15 creature, but his soldiers were not. If this bloodthirsty creature really started killing here, even if he killed this creature, Chongming City would have to pay a huge price.

Now Joshua is gambled and ready to attack Shangjiang City. He must defeat the Pudong fleet in one go and land outside Shangjiang City. Only in this way can he get the response of the other three allies. If he suffers too severe losses at this time, the impact of the Chongming City army will be greatly weakened. Joshua is not sure about this war. If even the Pudong fleet cannot rush over, the three cunning marquis will never mobilize their own soldiers, and then the elves of Chongming City can only wait for death on the island.

This was a good war that no one had prepared, and Joshua was unwilling to take risks. He slowly let go of his sword hand, signaled Daliang to sit down, and then asked, "What are you doing here for me?"

If you don’t kill people directly, it means you can talk.

Daliang found a chair and sat down: "Just a while ago, His Majesty the King of East China Sea held a royal meeting on this incident. I was fortunate to attend... Attendance, did the Marquis want to know what decision His Majesty made in the end?"

Marquis Joshua sneered: "If it were twenty years ago, he would definitely have called him. But now... he probably has no ambition. The messenger I want to negotiate is ready to come. Maybe he will agree to my request just now - to give me the Flying Dust Island."

Sure enough, there are not many fuel-efficient lamps in the game. The Marquis far away in Chongming City actually guessed the result of the imperial meeting easily, but Daliang would not be scared: "Marquis, you are just a part of the guesswork. Your Majesty wants to have a peace talk, but he has not completely lost his previous ambitions. He clearly pointed out that this peace talks do not accept any conditions in Chongming City. The two sides stopped their troops to maintain the original state, which is equivalent to acquiesceing that you already have a dragon, which is good news for you."

Marquis Joshua showed no expression: "Since you know that Your Majesty will not promise me any conditions, why do you still want to come to me?"

Daliang did not directly answer the Marquis' question, and he said: "There shouldn't be many people on Chongming Island know about the crystal mine."

Daliang mentioned the crystal mine, which was like a dagger inserted into the heart of Marquis Joshua. His face turned extremely ugly, but he did not dare to make this secret loudly. He whispered intimidation: "That crystal mine is mine. You robber, I will kill you and grab my crystal back sooner or later."

Joshua's performance told Daliang that the crystal mine was also a great secret in Chongming City, which explained why the elf hero on Feichen Island was not outstanding. He was Joshua's confidant but not a powerful hero. Marquis Joshua appointed the person he trusted the most to guard the island, but he could not have thought that because of this, he lost the crystal mine.
