As the territory of the elven clan, Chongming Island is a large dense forest, and Chongming City is built in this forest.

Trees, thorns, and earth and stone form a ring of tall walls, and within this wall is a city full of dreams. Elven buildings are not as modest as those built by Terrans, with distinct streets and houses. Freedom and art pervade the soul of every elf, who can build a wooden house on a towering tree, or a dwarven village in a garden, a vine bridge between the trees is their street, and all kinds of small animals can freely enter their homes and take the food left on the table.

It was originally a city full of peace and freedom, but now it is completely at war.

The centaurs are forming phalanx after phalanx, dwarves pushing their cannons and supplies, elven archers are stationed in the walls and tall wooden arrow towers in the forests, Pegasus knights are blocking the sky above Chongming Island, treemen are moving slowly towards the shoreline, and beautiful unicorns and dragons are roaring highly.

Chongming City has completed all preparations for war.

A small group of Pegasus knights entered the city with Da Liang, and Da Liang's status as a nobleman directly under the King of the East China Sea allowed Da Liang to be received by the Marquis of Joshua, the lord of Chongming City.

In the marquis's castle, in a room used to receive foreign envoys, Da Liang met the Marquis of Joshua in time as he wished.

He is a male elf in the prime of life, dressed in armor and ready to go to battle. When he saw Da Liang, he raised his chin and said in the tone of a superior person: "I haven't been to Shangjiang City for a long time, I haven't seen you but your badge is real, it seems that you are a new nobleman." His Majesty the King of the East China Sea is willing to send a nobleman directly under him to negotiate with me, and I feel his sincerity. But...... If Shangjiang City wants peace talks, it must immediately return my Flying Dust Island and hand over to me the murderer of the archangel Andre, who has been dutifully defending me and my city, and I will avenge him with my own hands. We will not accept any request for peace talks if we do not agree to this condition. ”

"Ahem, cough, cough," was regarded as a messenger of peace talks, Da Liang cleared his throat slightly embarrassed: "That, what should I say?" Let me introduce myself, my name is Da Liang, and I just was canonized as a baron today, my fiefdom...... It's the ...... of Dust Island."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became cold.

"You're really daring!" The Marquis of Joshua pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, and he couldn't believe that a murderer who had killed him during the day, the golden dragon, and occupied the crystal mine, had walked into his castle at night with such grandeur.

Da Liang stretched out his hands to show that he had no malicious intent, and he said: "I hope that Lord Marquis can let me finish my words, it will not do you any good if you kill me now, and the person who killed Andre and the two golden dragons is standing outside." I don't know if she's your match or not, but you should know that she's very fast and murderous. Now only I can suppress her murderous nature, you don't want her to be uncontrolled by you, do you? ”

The level 15 creature that killed Andre, the two-headed golden dragon, and all the remaining elves on Flying Dust Island is here! Joshua looked warily in the direction of the door.

Through the final report of the heroes of the Elven Dust Island, the Marquis knew that this was a creature that could move at high speeds in subspace, and that such a creature was far more difficult to deal with than those level 15 ground creatures. The two sides face each other, and Joshua is confident that he can deal with a level 15 creature, but his soldiers cannot. If this murderous creature really went on a killing spree here, even if he killed this creature, Chongming City would have to pay a great price.

Now it was Joshua's desperate attempt to attack Shangjiang City, and he had to defeat the Pudong fleet and land outside Shangjiang City in one fell swoop. Only then would he get a response from the other three allies, and if he suffered too heavy losses at this time, it would greatly weaken the impact of the Chongming City army. In this war, Joshua was not too sure, if he couldn't even rush through the Pudong fleet, the three treacherous and cunning marquis would definitely not mobilize a single soldier of their own, then the elves of Chongming City could only wait for death on the island.

It was a good war for which no one was prepared, and Joshua was not willing to risk it. He slowly let go of his sword-gripping hand, motioned for Da Liang to sit down, and then asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

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

Da Liang found a chair and sat down: "Not long ago, His Majesty the King of the East China Sea held a royal meeting on this incident, and I had the honor to attend...... Listening, does the Marquis want to know what decision His Majesty made in the end? ”

Marquis Joshua sneered: "If it was twenty years ago, he would definitely have called." But now...... I'm afraid he doesn't have that ambition anymore, I think the envoy for peace talks is ready to come, maybe he will agree to my request just now - give me Flying Dust Island. ”

Sure enough, there are few fuel-efficient lamps in the NPCs in the game, and the marquis who is far away in Chongming City can easily guess the result of the imperial meeting, but Da Liang will not be frightened: "Lord Marquis, you are only a part of the guess, Your Majesty wants to negotiate peace, but he has not completely lost his previous ambitions, he clearly pointed out that this peace negotiation does not accept any conditions in Chongming City, and the two sides will strike and maintain the status quo, which is equivalent to acquiescing that you already have a dragon, which is good news for you." ”、

Marquis Joshua didn't show any expression: "Since you know that Your Majesty will not agree to any conditions on me, why do you still come to me?" ”

Da Liang didn't answer the marquis's question directly, he said: "Regarding the matter of the crystal mine, there shouldn't be many people on Chongming Island who know about it. ”

Da Liang mentioned the crystal mine, it was like a dagger stuck heavily in the heart of the Marquis of Joshua, his face became extremely ugly, but he did not dare to loudly reveal this secret, he whispered and threatened: "The crystal mine is mine, you robber, I will kill you sooner or later and snatch my crystal back." ”

Joshua's performance tells Da Liang that the crystal mine is also a great secret in Chongming City, which explains why the elven hero on Flying Dust Island is not outstanding, he is Joshua's cronies but not a powerful hero. The Marquis of Joshua appointed his most trusted man to guard the island, but he did not expect that because of this, he lost the crystal mine.

"You're not the only one trying to kill me. But at least now that Dust Island is in my hands, I have obtained the canonization of His Majesty the King of the East China Sea, Dust Island is my legal fief, and everything on the island is mine. Da Liang relaxed his stall hand, "I don't think you have enough military strength to deal with me before you defeat Shangjiang City." Even when you attack Shangjiang City, you have to worry about my attack. Once this war breaks out, it will definitely not end in a short time, and without this batch of crystals, how long can your powerful dragon army last? ”
