Chapter 87: Entry Green Forest

A team of two carriages and a group of riders marched on the road. In addition to the former knight showing his face, the last twenty or so are all wearing black cloaks, their heads and faces are covered in them, and only when they are close can they see their gray skin and white hair.
This is exactly what Evelyn and her twenty dark elves emigrated. Dark elves are an extremely talented race, and the ratio of becoming wizards and warriors is much higher than that of humans. In addition, the emigrants sent this time were selected by Evelyn. Among the twenty dark elves, there were two middle ranks and six low ranks. Among them, the warrior and the mage are half, and the rest also have the strength of warrior apprentices, which are very good archers.
Xiao Chen sat in the carriage in front of the team and just finished a meditation. And the carriage belonging to Elena behind him has become a truck.
Xiao Chen leaned his head out of the car and asked, "Siro, where are we now?"
Siro and Roger, who led the way in front of the team, drove the horse to Xiao Chen's window and said: "Now we have entered the territory of the Duke of Greenwood City. To the front is Green Pine Town, where we can spend the night tonight."
"Duke of Greenwood City? Seems to be our new neighbor?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Yes, according to the territory assigned to you by the king, the town of Alano borders the territory of Greenwood City. But the Duke of Greenwood City is certainly not a good neighbor." Siro said.
"Why, this duke's reputation is not so good?" Xiao Chen asked curiously.
"You know, before this generation of Duke Parsa Solanas succeeded to the title, the territory of Greenwood City under the jurisdiction was not so large. However, after he conquered one count and three barons, the territory changed. It was a big circle. After he forcibly married the only daughter of Viscount Buigas, he merged the Viscount ’s territory to his own name. Including the map connected to the town of Alano, he got it after killing a baron "Siluo has collected a lot of information very carefully since he followed Xiao Chen. The palms that these nobles saw are not rare news, but he can also see his efforts.
"It sounds like aristocratic fan, isn't that what happened between the lords? It's not uncommon for annexation-like battles or marriages to be like this?" Xiao Chen also read the history of many continents, telling the truth a continent Chronicles, 50% of the content is these things.
"You are right, but other lords are at war with others, at least they will find a good reason. And the Duke of Greenwood always likes to fight without declaring, or attack suddenly, and then declare war afterwards. And even if you declare war to find a reason It is also often far-fetched. For example, a baron was condemned by the duke because he glanced at the duke ’s wife at the banquet.
The same is true of the marriage. It is said that the viscount had two nephews who could inherit the title, but both of them suddenly died before the duke welcomed the daughter of the viscount. In this way the viscount's territory and title became his wife's hand. "
"So, is he an unscrupulous character?"
"Yes, adult, so we better deal with it carefully."
"I'm curious, such a person, what will Wangdu noble think of him."
"It's hard to say, at least he doesn't have a good reputation among the nobles of the kingdom. You know, most of the nobles will not like such people who break the rules. The criticism of the Duke of Greenwood City is roughly simple-minded and greedy , Manghu, and so on. "Silo laughed," If it is not his territory is remote, plus the king has been in poor health over the years, I am afraid that the fierce king will directly drive the army to the territory of Greenwood City Going on, forced him to spit out all the land he had eaten. "

The neighbor is an annoying duke, not necessarily an opportunity for the school. Xiao Chen pondered secretly, if this person was not popular, it would be more perfect. If the king really crashes and the surroundings are in chaos, the Tower of China may not be able to find a chance to stabilize the situation and go to other people's sites to "save a humanitarian disaster."
He thought of it here and said: "Since this Duke is so special, we should pay more attention. It is a bit of a loss if we do not bring back some information. The road, the city, the landforms, the hydrology and the people's lives can be used. Collect it. "
Silo nodded and said yes.
"Adult. I just found something wrong. Today we came along and met two messengers. According to the dress of these two messengers, I am afraid that they are not sending ordinary letters, but military." Roger recalled.
"Why do you see it?" Xiao Chen asked.
"They are all experienced soldiers, and it would be too wasteful to send ordinary letters. And they are all equipped with weapons, which are very similar to the expedition equipment. So I guess they are going to report to the Duke's vassals Military action. Let them gather troops in their respective territories, and then participate in a war. "Roger groaned slightly and said," We are behind two small towns, if the baron has troops in this place They all need to explain that he is going to fight a war of no small scale. "
"But there are no other opponents around him who deserve such a fight ... except us." Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes. "If so, we have to make things clearer."
Xiao Chen's team finally reached the green pine town ahead of dusk.
Green Pine Town is a mediocre town, located on a plain, backed by a forest and facing a river. The only difference is that the main road in the Duke ’s territory passes through it, so it is the main node of the transportation network.
The population of the town is only five or six hundred people, and more than one hundred houses are scattered on the banks of the river. From the perspective of the scenery, it is also unique. It was a baron under the Duke's rule.
This is the first time the team has approached a human town after leaving the elven kingdom.
Evelyn and other dark elves are very interested in this town. Along the way, they talked a little, and started talking about it.
There are no special guards in the town, only a few militiamen patrol the town.
When Xiao Chen ’s team entered the town, they came together to inquire about the identity of Xiao Chen and others. Since Xiao Chen had doubts, he could not report his true identity. Prepare to cross here for the first time and go to Suero to do business.
The militia saw that there were really many dark elves and could not find any flaws. So they were allowed to enter the town. It may be that dark elves are very rare in the human world. People in the town see them and behave quite curiously. Sometimes people look at them from afar.
Siro walked around the town, picked a hostel, and let the whole team live in.
