Chapter 465: It's Really Like

"You need to go to the Mason Prairie to catch some mounts!"

Valery Pozzi, the current generation of the 'Eagle of Letters' from the Grim Wind Territory, has also eased a lot of relations with the elves of the Guards in recent days, at least these elven soldiers around him have understood that he is not in the same group as those slave hunters.

So, now he is able to make some suggestions to these soldiers, and these soldiers will also think seriously about what his suggestions are, rather than just opposing them.

As soldiers of the 'Guards Legion', they know very well what they have done and what they are going to do, and this time they are not looking for the 'lost glory', because after they have become afraid of human society and locked themselves in the forest of stars and moons, their glory has been lost and will never be recovered......

They knew very well what they were going out to the kingdom of mankind for—they wanted to get their fellow citizens back! instead of abandoning their fellow citizens on the pretext that they had been violated by humans, as they had done before, because of their own fear!

This time they were going to 'atone', as soldiers of the Guards Legion, each of them had lived for at least four hundred years, and in hundreds of years of life, they had learned a lot, but they had also lost a lot of things, which could not be recovered, so they intended to continue to torment their hearts until they forgave themselves.

"To cross that savannah, we must have mounts, and you may be fast in the forest, but there are no trees on the savannah for you to borrow. Whether it's humans or elves, our stamina and leg strength are far inferior to some animals, which is our shortcoming, but fortunately, we have enough intelligence. Knight Potts pointed to his head, "Wisdom is what we are most proud of!"

The Potts knight then explained the urgency of time: "We don't have that much time to tame our mounts, so we can only drive them away and tame them at the same time. It's easy to tame an animal, as long as you're stronger than it and you're willing to give it something to eat, and it will follow you - but first you have to let it know that you're better than it. ”

"Beat them cleanly, give them no chance to react, then feed them, hit them at the slightest disobedient move, and then feed them later...... Even though they're still wild and untamed after that, at least they can understand what it means to be 'obedient'!"

The Knights of Potts spoke of their experience, and the knights of the Storms have always tame their mounts.

Before the Potts knight became the 'official knight' of the Tempest, 'taming the mount' was the first lesson his father taught him - I remember that he was only twelve years old at the time, fighting a carnivorous horse, and although he should have been able to take it all out of ten, he was almost wounded by his lack of combat experience, but he also got his first mount.

The deputy commander of the Guards nodded, indeed, if they could reach the human realm faster, then their compatriots would suffer less.

They are all soldiers, and although the elves have been besieged in the starry and moon forests for hundreds of years, this does not mean that they do not understand the armament and strength of the human realm.

Their previous kings did wrong, and they, the latecomers, could not understand how difficult the ruler was faced with the choice at that time, but as a king, he must have felt the pain!

The first king died of illness and grief three hundred years ago, and he was only 800 years old when he died, far less than the upper limit of the elf's lifespan.

“...... How much time will it take?" the deputy head of the regiment asked in a low voice, looking at Knight Potts seriously.

Knight Boz pondered for a moment: "It took me about three months when I came, but it was winter, and although the cold and extreme weather would stop my steps, there were many monsters that hibernated. It's the end of summer, and from here we will officially enter the danger zone of the savannah in early autumn, when it will be very dangerous, and we will have to fight our way through the prairie. With our strength, it is not difficult to cross the prairie, but we can't be merciful, and when facing any enemy, we must kill them, otherwise, it will only be us who will die!"

When he came, there was only Knight Pozzi, and when facing the beasts, he could escape, but now that he was going back, he had to return to the Sorrowful Wind with these elven soldiers, so he lost a means of survival when he crossed the grassland.

If it is not a last resort, the soldiers of the Sad Wind Leader will not abandon any of their comrades-in-arms, even if they are a group of elves, even if there are still people among them who hate him, but not abandoning their comrades-in-arms is the business of the Knights of Potts, and it has nothing to do with them!

Knight Potts was still figuring out how to bring these elves back to the Tempest Leader alive, when the lifeless eyes of the deputy head glanced at his men.

"Do you hear that?

He said in a calm tone: "As a soldier, failing to protect the country and the people is the biggest sin. Even though no one will judge us, not even many will blame us, it is because they are all 'used to it'......"

Listening to the words of the deputy commander, the elven soldiers all clenched their fists and gritted their teeth.

This is their greatest sin, to make the people accustomed to the life of 'their compatriots will be taken captive and then turned into slaves'?

"This time, we have no glory, let alone heroes, we are just going to atone for our sins!" the deputy head of the regiment's voice was cold, "Human beings are wrong, and we are even more wrong, and a compromise will not bring peace." Let's go and correct our mistakes, the mistakes of our ancestors, and—'the mistakes of our comrades!'"

The elves still remember that humans were their comrades-in-arms, but humans have long forgotten them.

Knight Potts stood by listening, watching, and had mixed feelings.

He hadn't really understood what the 'multifaceted nature of things' was, but now he saw it!

Elves are not only arrogant, they are also confused, they have a dislike for humans, but they have always had the last hope of humans.

It seems to be cowardly, but there is also a ruthlessness in the bones, the tenacity of the soldiers and the ignorance of the civilians are also part of their race, although the performance is different, they are equally painful.

No matter what kind of life it is, it is still complicated, and from different angles, you can see a different side of this race.

Tuk tuk!

There was a knock on the door, and the elves in the room turned their heads, and then the voice of the general, who had been sitting in the fortress of 'Apples', came through the wooden door: "Are you ready?"

The tone was flat, without any ups and downs, and when they opened the door, they saw the general leaning against the wall, smoking a cigarette and spitting out smoke.

"Your supplies are in warehouse three, take the key...... Rest assured, no one will find out. The general scoffed, "I know how they do fake accounts, so I also know how to avoid them and provide you with supplies for a hundred men." ”

When the deputy head of the regiment heard this, he nodded to indicate that he knew, but then he paused.

"Those people...... Did you let it go?"

'Those people' refers to the slave catchers, and although the 'Uppleus' fortress faces the Mason savannah, if the slave catchers want to enter the country, they have to come to this fortress and obtain identification to enter, otherwise they will not be able to get any supplies after entering the forest, which will be fatal to them.

“...... No. ”

After a long silence, the old general blurted out the word.

The Knight of Potts breathed a sigh of relief, this elder was an acquaintance of his father, and this time he was taking the elves to save their compatriots, and he didn't want this elder to be an accomplice of those slave hunters.

"As much as I hate you, it's not me. He said as he swallowed the clouds.

The deputy head pursed his lips, turned around and led the team away, and did not say anything more.

This is the assurance of an old general, an old soldier - and that's enough.

Even though he has always hated these so-called 'orthodox elves', he still sits in this fortress and guards this country!

"Half-elves don't like humans, they hate them more than elves, they think it will allow them to fit into the 'orthodox elves' group, which is pathological, but there's nothing I can do about it......"

The old general touched his ears and turned his head to smile at the complicated expression of the knight of Poze: "Although it is a little shameless, but Valery, can you help me, a helpless old man?"

"Bring those elves back to the Tempest Realm, and then let them save their captive compatriots, and then ...... I'll be able to kill as many people as I want!"

For a moment, the general smiled happily, and his image became strange in the heart of the Knight of Potts.

"I'm going to launch a coup d'état, now those people are no longer fit to continue ruling the country, aspiring young people should not be buried, half-elves should not be vassals of elves!"

"Go, Valery. The general exclaimed, "I hope the good news will soon be here—your good news, of course!"

Looking at this elder, Knight Poz pursed his lips, frowned deeply, and asked, "You...... Aren't those people really you let go?"

"I'm a soldier......" the general extinguished the cigarette butt and put it in his pocket.

That's enough......

A soldier will not compromise with others for the sake of power.

"Can I still trust you?" asked Valery Potz softly, his eyes burning.

"Maybe, maybe not......" the general did not give an accurate reply to the knight of Poz.

However, the knight bowed slightly, turned and left.

No one could give him an accurate answer to that question because he was always suspicious.

But he now understands that it doesn't matter if the answer is a little vague, he has always trusted his own judgment and does not need someone else to give him an answer.

So he has always believed in that elder, he is a 'patriot', but he will not compromise with other forces for the sake of the country, his own country should be changed with his own hands!

In the body of the elder, he saw the shadow of the maid grown...... He really resembles her.
