After more than ten days of rest, Higg explained to Catherine the matters related to the temporary transfer of the military authority of the Fifth Army to Deputy Field Marshal Simak on the pretext of recuperation. As the corps marshal of the Fifth Legion, he is not in the army, which is a big deal in Aracia, and Higg has not been confused not to report it, provoking Catherine and adding trouble to himself, so it is better to make a gesture and say a good word.

The Rodja River Plain is now safe, and even if the Arad coalition is strong, it cannot force the existing base camp of the Fifth Army; Fuxing City has gradually transformed into a neutral city, retaining some self-defense forces, and does not intend to participate in the disputes between the major forces in Erathia, if anyone does not wisely fight the idea of Fuxing City, it will not only cause the anger of Fuxing City itself, but also the anger of the Fifth Army and all stakeholders related to Fuxing City, and the gains outweigh the losses.

In the few years since leaving Rainbow Island, Higg has gradually established his own solid power, and the intersection of various forces is also very complex, with both enemies and allies. Such a force should not be underestimated even in the whole of Middle-earth. But the astonishing secret drawn from Delonso's mouth immediately made Higg feel that his power was too small, he still needed to be strong, and he also needed allies to be suppressed by Catherine in Erathia, and his power could not expand uncontrollably, so there was only one way to pull allies. If the Alasia Civil War is really a big conspiracy, then someone must have enough strength to deal with it, and this kind of power cannot be handled by one person, one country or one race.

Higg, Blue Fairy, Daniel, Nicole, Benjamin, Noah, and Pantony, a group of seven, with three hundred elven guards, marched from the Silent Forest to the southeast of the dense forest, where a once glorious empire was hidden, which has been silent since the fall of a thousand years ago, and has become a corner abandoned by all major forces.

The forest is a place where there is no shortage of legends and stories, and the Jungle Warriors have composed beautiful songs of the forest here, even after thousands of years, and they will continue to be sung for future generations.

But the Forest Empire is no longer the empire of a thousand years ago, except for the druid tribes that were split, the current state of the Forest Empire is basically a collection of tribal forces, the elf king of the forest empire, Cross, does not have the ability to fully control the power of the tribes, although under the rule of the elf king, the tribal forces do not have much fight with each other, but they also lack contact with each other, each has its own affairs, and on the surface it obeys the rule of the empire, but secretly it is the first priority to develop its own tribal power.

Even the existing land of the Forest Country does not belong to the Forest State, the original territory of the Forest Country is in the southeast corner of the Barbarian Country, a large territory in the northeast corner of Eraxia, after being occupied by the Druids a thousand years ago, the various tribes loyal to the Elven King were forced to move out of there. Since Erathia was an ally with the Forest Nation at the time, the Forest Nation was temporarily used to open up a new territory deep in the eastern forests of Erathia. Who knows, a forest country that is sluggish and does not want to make progress will borrow it for a thousand years.

Passing through several scattered forest tribes, let Hig find that the life of the people here is very comfortable, and there is never a shortage of materials, compared with the rest of Erathia, the people of Alasia work at sunrise and rest at sunset, although they are always busy, but most people are only able to meet their own living needs, and there is not much surplus materials, too much remaining time to enrich their spiritual and cultural life.

In other words, the people of Erathia were calculated by the rulers to go home, leaving them only enough materials for their basic life, so that ordinary people have no extra time to study, think, and enrich the spiritual world.

But everyone in the Forest Empire doesn't worry too much about the foundation of their lives, they have too much time to fight for their freedom, enrich their spiritual and cultural things, and think about what kind of lifestyle is more suitable for them. In fact, such an empire has existed in name only, and the existing conditions of production relations do not allow this utopian nihilistic world to exist, and only the centralized way can adapt to the laws of survival in today's society, so if the forest empire is invaded by foreign enemies, there is no other way but to destroy the country.

Madeya, the capital of the Forest Country, is not a big city to be exact, most of the buildings here are very simple, and the same is true for the royal palace. But the entire city is obscured by huge trees, towering ancient trees towering into the sky. Those ancient trees are intertwined and scattered, and what surprised Higg even more was that the entire city of Madea was actually built on an ancient tree, and the towering trees that were scattered were all regrown from the roots of this ancient tree, tree to tree, root to root.

It is not so easy to see the elven king Cross, Benjamin's three hundred guards are not all allowed to enter the royal city, and the vassal king who already has a fief must limit the number of followers to less than thirty to enter the royal city. Benjamin still has his own royal residence in the royal city, although it is not big, but it is more than enough to arrange Higg and others!

After hurriedly entering Benjamin's palace for a little arrangement, Benjamin was going to handle various matters to meet the elf king, and Higg and the others had nothing to do, so they left the palace and came out to enjoy the scenery of the forest king city by the way.

After taking a closer look at the royal city, Higg and the others were the real eye-opener. Don't look at the simple architecture of the royal city, but almost every one is made into handicrafts, and the surrounding natural scenery is perfectly integrated, although the pavilions and pavilions are not tall, but all of them are finely carved and jeweled. The exchange of goods on the street is not lively, and most of the people who live here are able to be self-sufficient and do not rely too much on the circulation of goods to be satisfied. Everyone is dressed in gorgeous clothes, and the jewelry on their bodies, from headdresses and necklaces, to earrings, and even waist tags, are all missing, and they are so delicate that they brighten the eyes of the blind.

In the eyes of the people of the Forest King City, Higg and his party were simply like dirt buns from the countryside, incompatible with this luxurious royal city, and passers-by who saw them even retreated intentionally or unintentionally.

Although the scenery was full of scenery, Higg and the others gradually lost their mood, so they found a small wine shop casually and went up to the second floor.

Lan Xian'er looked at the scenery outside the window, and remembered that the forest empire in a corner of the country had fallen to this, and couldn't help but feel emotional: "The grass in the old residence of the Green Ridge is green, and the streets of heaven are deserted!" The garden is full of spring and drunk, and he has already made his hometown a royal city! ”

"Hahaha!" There was a hearty laugh outside the door, and I saw a middle-aged man with a big beard walking into Higg's private room, and he didn't look outside at all, and laughed loudly: "Mr. Higg is so interested, and when he arrives in the royal city, he is also elegant!" However, with the poem just now, Mr. Higg is not afraid of getting into trouble. ”

Higg smiled and said to the visitor: "I am the marshal of the Alasia Empire, what does it have to do with Mr. With all due respect, may I ask you what to call you? ”

"Hahaha!" The man smiled and said, "Don't blame those who don't know, the second prince of this king forest country, Rana Lie!" Since Mr. Higg has reported his identity and name in a high-profile manner, and has read some crooked poems here, he is not afraid that he will have ears across the wall and report to the ears of His Majesty Father! ”

Xige smiled, bowed slightly with his companions, and said, "Is it for this reason that the second prince came to Xingshi to ask about his guilt?" Mo said that there is no problem with the recitation of this poem, and even if there is, may I ask His Royal Highness the Prince, does the host need to report anything to the guests if he does anything on his own territory? ”

"Hahaha!" "Mr. Higg is not polite, he really thinks of himself as his master, but it makes me, the real master, restless!" ”

Lan Xian'er said with a smile: "A person who regards another country as a royal city really regards other people's territory as his own territory and becomes the master's style, it's ridiculous!" ”

Ranarid's face sank, and then he smiled again and said, "Okay, let's not discuss this issue yet!" It is difficult for Mr. Higg to get a trip to the royal city, you and I see each other at first sight, I wonder if Mr. Higg appreciates his face, and sits on the king's mansion, so that the king can be a little hospitable? ”

Higg smiled: "It's okay to see it, but it's not necessarily like that!" His Royal Highness Second received his kindness, but he had just arrived at Xia, and he had a special status, so he really didn't want to cause trouble to His Highness without His Majesty's permission. I don't want to come to Your Highness and don't want to get into trouble with foreign ministers, so please ask Your Highness to withdraw your sincerity! ”

"Since Mr. Higg said so, isn't he afraid that Benjamin will also get into trouble befriending foreign ministers?" "I think Mr. Higg is overthinking!" ”

Higg smiled: "We just arrived today, we are all a little tired, we will definitely go to the Second Highness's house to disturb you another day, and please forgive the Second Highness for the rudeness!" ”

Lanarith's face sank again, and he said fiercely: "Mr. Higg is really so faceless to this king? ”

Hig stared at Ranarol coldly, then looked at the guards beside him, and said with a smile: "If Your Highness doesn't have anything else to do, then please!" ”

"Humph!" Ranarith said angrily, "Come on, take down these spies from the Gentiles, and go back and interrogate them properly!" ”

More than a dozen elven guards around Lanarih immediately stepped forward, surrounded Hig and the others, and were about to step forward to arrest them, only to see another order outside the door: "Stop!" ”

I saw a middle-aged nobleman wearing a purple and gold crown and a big yellow robe walk out behind Lanarith, and stepped forward to say to Higg and the others: "Mr. Higg, this king is Auguston, the great prince of the Forest Country, and my father has promised to meet you early tomorrow morning, please go back and get ready!" ”

After Auguston finished speaking, he turned and left! Lanarih hurriedly caught up, and asked anxiously as he ran: "Big brother, how can you ......?"

Auguston shouted angrily: "Just you have a lot of things, go back and talk about it!" ”

……

Higg looked at the distant figures of Auguston and Lanarith, got up and said, "Things are a little complicated, let's go back to Benjamin to discuss!" ”
