Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

A long army of dark elves is marching on the lush grass. This is the core territory of the Rakshasa demon. The whole landscape is also very different from the barren desert of the alien world, but is covered with soft green plants. Although the leaves of this plant are round and close to the ground, they are completely different from all the plant characteristics known to Ryan, but being in such a green world makes Ryan have a chance to return to the Taren prairie. feel.

Ryan, Aledia and others are sitting on a platform. Under this platform is drawn a large wind magic circle, so that a huge platform with a radius of nearly 100 meters can float in mid-air. Proceed by command.Because of its huge size, this kind of magic item has another name, called "magic device". The magic core consumed by it every day is a huge number, enough to bankrupt an ordinary legendary archmage, but for The Dark Elf Lord Aledia seemed so insignificant.

Ryan sat on such a magical device, and suddenly saw three dark elves flying in the sky in the distance. He recognized the costume of the dark elves headed by them. They were the messengers in the army. For orders or intelligence, as for the two female dark elves in the robes of the archmage behind him, it goes without saying that they must be used to protect the herald's bodyguards.

The dark elf male hereder quickly came to the periphery of the magical device where Ryan and the others were. A dozen powerful auras immediately locked him down. The hereder also came down from mid-air very cooperatively, letting Aledy leave. Ya's guards verified his identity and checked him up and down. After confirming that they were correct, several Aledia's guards took him to board the magic machine.

The male messenger stood on the outside of the platform and stopped walking inside. Although he passed the inspection, his every move was still firmly locked by more than a dozen powerful breaths, as long as the messenger had any problems. When a compliant action appears, such as suddenly approaching Aledia and the others, the legendary archmage who is responsible for guarding the entire magic device will not hesitate to kill him on the spot.

"I've seen Master Aledia, Master Morick, sirs!" Although the male herald has not really met Ryan and the others, he also knows the appearance, body and other characteristics of the strong men that Alessia has been wooing, but they It doesn't belong to the military system of the dark elf, so I used a general term to describe it.

"Oh, you are Biluoch under General Dahni? Dahni and the others should have arrived outside of Fetahab, right? Did you bring us the news ahead?" Molik recognized the herald, so he asked.

The herald did not expect that a small person like himself could be called by the name that Master Molik was very familiar with. His heart was suddenly excited, but as an elite of the dark elf army, this male herald could still restrain him. Excited in his heart, he opened his mouth and replied in a more stable tone: "Yes, Lord Molik, I came from General Dakhni. Four hours ago, General Dakhni’s army had arrived in Fetahab. I lived outside the city and quickly surrounded the city, but we saw the beggars sent by the city. General Daheni did not dare to promise anything, so I asked me to bring the news to the adults."

"A messenger begging to surrender?" After hearing the news, Aledia spoke: "Is it really going to surrender, or have other plans?" Aledia's words made the male herald named Biloch It is difficult to answer. To avoid suspicion, they did not contact the messengers who came to beg for surrender. They only temporarily controlled them, and then reported the news. Aletia or Molik would decide the fate of these messengers and even the entire city. Lydia asked like this now, it was really difficult for him to give an accurate answer. If the wild guesses eventually affected Aledia's decision, he would not be able to bear such a responsibility.

Fortunately, Aledia didn’t want to get any answer from the herald. She said this more like asking and answering herself. She only heard Aledia continue to say: "Now Fetahab has fallen, Mai Hazulu has also retreated, and Slachan’s reinforcements were wiped out in the Three Peaks Fortress. These guys did not open the gates and surrender unconditionally, but still want to bargain with me? Or they are simply delaying time for implementation. Another conspiracy?"

"Master Aledia, why don't we explicitly refuse them to surrender, and then go straight in and clean up the city." Molik was also very uncomfortable with the things that the Rakshasa demon did in the Three Peaks Fortress, so he went To Aledia made such a proposal.

Aledia pondered for a moment, shook her head, and said, "No, this is the core area of ​​the Rakshasa demon after all. Since the beginning of the Thousand-Year War, no foreign troops have set foot here, unlike other territories. I know how many hands it has changed. For these Rakshas, ​​we can capture them in exchange for ransom, or we can use them as slaves for punishment. For Rakshas who are good at doing business, it is nothing more than a transaction. But if we kill aggressively, we will anger these self-proclaimed neutral merchants, which is very unwise for us. Don’t forget that even in the current state of war, we still need these Raksha demon merchants and their chambers of commerce. Provide all kinds of supplies."

"If this is the case, let's send someone to hear what kind of conditions they want to offer?" Morik saw Aledia saying this, and stopped insisting on his own ideas, and asked instead: "Look, my lord. Who is more appropriate to send?"

"No, there is no need to send someone." Aledia said with a smile: "General Dageni has gained my trust in this battle, and she has the full authority to handle the city on my behalf. Our bottom line , Is to take away all the wealth of the entire city. As for the buildings and residents of the city, if they can pay enough extra, we can let it go, otherwise everyone in the city will be taken away as slaves. This city It will only become a pile of rubble."

After a while, the dark elf herald flew back in the direction where he had come.The difference from the time when he came is that now this messenger is carrying Aledia in his arms to give orders. For this reason, a small team of Aledia's guards are behind him, and they will escort the messenger. The officer returned to General Dakhni’s station and protected the safety of General Dakhni who was going to negotiate on behalf of Aledia.

Flying in the sky for four consecutive hours, at least they can travel a distance of four or five hundred kilometers. Ryan and the others travel slowly with a magic device. It may take more than a day to pass this distance. The surrounding area is plain. The terrain, even if a city stands tall, it is difficult to see its outline from a distance. Unless it is very close, you can only see the gray sky that is always gray.

Ryan and the others marched slowly until the next day. General Dahni sent a herald in front. It seemed that the negotiation had resulted. Aledia and the others did not take this matter to heart. Tahab’s residence is a handy toy for the dark elves at this time. How to deal with it depends on the mood at the moment when the order is given. Unexpectedly, when the messenger who relayed the message boarded the magic device, Ryan Suddenly she realized that she was General Daheni herself.

Aledia also discovered this, and she asked in a strange tone: "Dahni, even if the negotiation has a result, you don't need to go there in person, right?"

Dahni’s face was slightly angry. She half-kneeled on the magic device and told Alessia: "Dear Alessia, I have failed your trust. This time the negotiation broke down. I am not able to meet your request."

"The negotiation broke down?" General Daheni's words made everyone present a question. Everyone was chatting in twos and threes, but now they are all focused on the dark elf general. I am personally curious as to why this negotiation broke down. Is it because General Daheni was too reckless and offered conditions that the other party could not accept, or did the Rakshasa demon have other plans and the negotiation was just a cover?

"Stand up and tell us what happened!" Aledia's tone became serious. Under her order, General Daheni, who was kneeling on her knees, stood up straight from the magic device, and then He was allowed to walk to a position closer to the center of the entire magical device, where it was less than ten meters away from Aledia and the others. This detail did not seem obvious, but from the side it reflected Aledia’s view of Dach. Ni's trust also gave the latter a sigh of relief.

General Daheni said: "The other party is in charge of the negotiations. It is the chief financial officer appointed by Fetahab. When he came, he obtained a letter of appointment from the acting city lord and was qualified for negotiation. However, in the specific process, he proposed The conditions of the Rakshasa make it difficult for me to accept. The Rakshasa is willing to pay enough for the defeat, but in any case, we are not allowed to enter the city from our dark elf army, and also require us to exchange the Rakshasa captured in the previous war. Captives, of course they will also pay a ransom to our satisfaction."

"After confirming that these conditions are their bottom line, and they absolutely cannot be changed or changed, I refused without hesitation, and immediately terminated this negotiation. Master Alessia, this thousand-year war against the Rakshasa monster , We dark elves are the unquestionable victors. We can give enough respect to the defeated Rakshasa, and we can also give the captives the necessary mercy, but all of this must be our voluntary, not in a passive exchange. Pay, obviously those guys in Fetahab have forgotten this, so I think it is necessary to teach them a lesson they will never forget!"
