Chapter 256 Envoys
At this time, the elves troops had arrived at the city of Sidingt, north of Padkertin. This city was a small city. If the human army attacked, they would definitely not be able to defend. Of course, they did not intend to defend here, but they were too anxious to escape, so they had to make some supplies here.
After counting the troops, Yierwen found that the troops following him were only a little over 20,000 left. The situation can be said to be very bad. Not to mention taking back the lost main city, it is even a question whether they can escape the pursuit of the human race. So what should I do now?
For a moment, all the people of the elves didn't know what to do. They must have taken back the capital, and they must have to avenge this hatred. However, the problem now is that they can't defeat it. Not only that, the human army may catch up at any time. In this situation, they will only be forced to run around by the enemy and finally be forced to the border. Isn't this a way out?
"Don't give up hope," said Yilwen, who was here, stood up and said, "Do you remember the war sixteen years ago? We also lost the main city. Not only that, our main city and our world tree were burned by the enemy with fire, and we almost lost everything. The situation at that time was worse than now. However, the final result was that we won the war. Under the leadership of my sister Queen Mishilt, we fought against the enemy. Although my sister is no longer here, and although I am not as good as her, I will not give up. I hope you can lend me the power and I will lead everyone to defeat the enemy and regain our territory again!"
Yierwen's speech made many elves regain their confidence. When they were about to ask Yierwen what specific plans they had, suddenly a soldier came over next to him: "His Highness, the enemy sent an envoy over here and said that he had something to talk to you, would you like to meet him? Or would you kill him directly?"
The messenger Yilwen was stunned for a moment. She really didn't expect it. However, after thinking about it for a little, of course she still wanted to meet her. So she replied: "Bring it up!"
Now the entire elves have a very high hatred for Ye Junwen, so Ye Junwen's messenger was of course treated very high. Soon, several soldiers of the elves came to Yi Erwen with a human of average appearance. Of course, the elves around him looked at the messenger with an angry expression to eat people, as if they were about to tear him apart in the next second.
Faced with this situation, not to mention that the envoy was not afraid, he looked at the generals around him with contempt and said, "I'm just a group of defeated dogs, beaten by our marshal and ran away with his head. Now he is showing off his power in front of me, a civil servant. Don't you feel ashamed?"
"That's all because you humans are despicable and shameless, and you actually use that kind..."
"You elves are really interesting to find excuses for your own failure." The messenger directly interrupted the general of the elves, "What does it mean to be upright? You elves hide in a strong city and call it right? There has never been a saying that war is fair or not, only the winner and lose, and we won."
"You..." The elf generals here were choked, but there was nothing to say, after all, they lost.
"Are you the messenger of Grand Duke Karcha?" At this time, Yilwen spoke.
"It's Marshal Clovy." The envoy here corrected that after all, the position of the marshal is louder than that of the Grand Duke, and of course he is called the highest official position. "In Xia Trang, he is the envoy of the Marshal."
"The two armies are still in war. I wonder what your marshal sent you here?" Yilwen said.
"Oh, that's right. After we captured your country's main city, we encountered some minor trouble. I hope you can help solve it." Tlanger said with a smile.
This is a bit hateful. After capturing their main city, they still need them to help solve the problem. Seeing the humble expression on Tlanger's side, the elf generals around him couldn't stand it and wanted to kill people.
"What do you mean?" Yilwen asked, forcibly suppressing her anger.
"That's right. After we investigated, we found that there were about 450,000 civilians in the city. We don't know what to do. We are also short of food, but we don't have time to raise these people. So the Marshal asked me to ask you, do you want them or not? If you don't want them, we will slaughter them directly." Tlanger said.
"What? Are you going to massacre the city?" All the elf generals were stunned, "No, you can't do this!"
"Oh? But these people keep us without food to feed them. Even if they don't kill them, they will starve to death. We are giving them a relief, otherwise it would be even worse to starve to death..." Tlanger said.
"How could there be no food? Our main city has at least half a year's stock." Yierwen said immediately. Yes, they hurriedly escaped, of course, they didn't have time to transport the food away.
"Yes, we have discovered a lot of food, but these foods are now our spoils and belongings to our human race. Why should we distribute the things of our human race to the civilians of the elves?" Tlanger said with his hands spreading.
"But they themselves..."
"Yes, I didn't expect that these civilians still had a lot of food in their hands. Of course, after we captured the main city, the things in the hands of these civilians were also the spoils of our human race. Naturally, their food was also confiscated. There was no problem with this." Tlanger said again.
"You guy!" They could tell that this guy was obviously here to make trouble. He had no food, wasn't he just snatched away by you?
"What do you want?" Yilwen also said angrily.
"That's right. After all, our human race is a friendly race. It doesn't seem right to see these hundreds of thousands of people starve to death, but it seems unlikely to let them go. After all, these people are all new forces. If they really become the army of the elves, this is not a capital enemy. What should I do? Otherwise, your elves heard that there are a lot of military rations. Or you send some to the main city so that these people don't have to starve to death. The marshal asked me to discuss this matter with you." Tlanger said.
"Dream in the daytime!" a general next to him immediately said, "Send all the food, what do we eat?"
"Oh, so, there is no problem with what you said. Then I'll say you don't want to send it away and go back to report." Tlanger nodded and said.
"Wait." Of course Yierwen already understood what was going on. They just took the lives of the people in the main city and asked them to hand over military rations, but could they ignore it? Yes, this trick is useless to people of other races. For example, when the human race is fighting, there is no need to say such things at all. You say to others that you think you are a fool. What does the lives of civilians have to do with them? However, the elves are different. In their eyes, everyone is equal, and everyone is their brothers and sisters. Of course, they can't do it when hundreds of thousands of compatriots starved to death.
"We want our military rations, right? Let's give them to you." Yi Erwen said after thinking for a little while.
"What? His Highness, how can this be done?"
"Yes, if we don't have military rations, soldiers..."
"It's okay." Yierwen gritted her teeth and said, "You want our military rations, yes, but how can you ensure that the people in the city can eat them after you give them to you?"
"That's right." Trang nodded, "Mr. Queen, you have considered it more thoroughly. Otherwise, if you are worried about this, why don't you go to the main city to supervise it yourself and see if we give all the food to the people of the main city?"
"What?" Everyone was stunned again, and actually asked Yierwen to go to the main city. Isn't this a trap? Can you go back?
"You never thought of giving this grain to the people in the city," said Yierwen. "We would rather not eat it ourselves and give it to them. However, even giving it to you will not help, so I will not hand over the grain."
"Okay, I understand." Trang nodded, "Then I will go back and tell the people that your queen has abandoned you."
"You're talking nonsense!" Yilwen shouted, "I just don't want to hand over the food to you humans."
"We didn't want your food. If you don't believe it, I'll just send the food to the main city and distribute it to the people in the city." Tlanger said with a smile.
"Supervisor, right? Since it is a supervisor, you don't have to go there in person, I'll go." A general next to him suddenly stood up and said.
"Oh, this is OK. It is true that the supervision is not necessary for the Queen to take action." Trant said, "But there seem to have been many robbers near the main city. They seem to attack nearby merchants, especially like to plunder food. Even our military rations have been plundered by them. It is said that they are only afraid of the power of the Elf Queen. Except for His Highness, anyone who goes there will be robbed..."
"Bandit?" All the generals of the elves were stunned at first. They had been stationed in the main city before, but they had never heard of any robbers. But soon they understood that these robbers were simply the trick of the human race. Now they understood that there was no food. The purpose of this envoy came here was to use hundreds of thousands of people in the main city as a threat to let Yierwen go back by himself.
"Your Highness the Queen!" A general who had figured out immediately wanted to remind Yierwen, but of course she understood who Yierwen was, and directly raised her hand to stop the other party.
