Just being a dark elf in Warhammer

"What logo is that? Rune?" Talos came over carrying a fruit basket and a wine bottle. He motioned Gilead to lean back and sat directly between Gilead and Liv. When he was about to After passing the Aveling fruit in the basket to Gilead, he took out another and threw it to Faithwell, then pointed to the distance and asked River.

"Astian, in the Fen-Elsalin language, represents the eternal struggle against chaos." Liv, who had fallen into silence, was awakened by Talos. She looked in the direction Talos pointed, and she squinted. After staring for a moment, he understood what Talos was asking.

The ethnic group in which the team is located happens to have a neighboring gang of Serasoy, which is composed of 18 eternal guards. These eternal guards are not line-defying soldiers, but upright noble elite soldiers. Each of them has extraordinary strength, but... this has to be Let’s see who you compare with.

In the open space in the distance, Bainie, who likes to teach others, is dueling with the Eternal Guard. While fighting, he keeps nagging, which makes the Eternal Guard tire of it. What makes the Eternal Guard most annoyed is that every word Bainie says They were all right, and every word touched his sore spot.

On weekdays, as an eternal guard, he wields his spear gracefully without losing discipline and efficiency in battle, forming a "branches barrier". When he faces the enemy, his feet are like roots under his feet without flinching, using his shield to resist attacks, and the leaf-shaped spear points will pierce the enemy like waves. But now, under Baine's double attack, his movements have completely changed, and the symbol rune he wears on his chest is exactly what Talos asked.

The rune known as Astian looked similar to the infinity symbol ∞, which was why Talos was curious.

"how are you feeling?"

"It's not that good. In a real fight, the Eternal Guard wouldn't have a chance to fight back. Fortunately, it's a competition now, isn't it?" Gilead, who put his hands behind his back in a very relaxed posture, responded after eating the Aveling fruit.

Talos nodded in agreement.

Just as Gilead and Talos agreed, the Eternal Guard was powerless against Baine, and he was already the 17th Eternal Guard to fight. The previous 16 companions plus Lord Aldade all failed. .

"They are also believers of the Lord of Blades, alas..." Fiswell sighed and shook his head. As a veteran warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles, he felt... Bainie was a bit bullying. Maybe it was because of the confrontation just now. Even if the Moon Goddess appeared, there would still be a fight.

"It's normal not to be understood by others. Wanting to be recognized too much is the source of pain. How good and correct this is, I can't say it... Sigh..." The battle has no suspense, Talos He no longer had the interest to read any more. After taking a sip of fruit wine, he leaned back and sighed while looking at the branches and leaves in the distance.

"I just did the math. If I'm not wrong, I have lived for more than seven hundred years, and this is the first time someone has said such a thing to me." A somewhat dejected Liv tightened her skirt and held her hands. He held his calf and said a little helplessly.

"I would like to ask, ma'am, how the people here treat you..." Gilead's words stopped abruptly when he was nudged by Fiswell's elbow.

"I don't think there is anything that can't be said. You joined late, and you are not Enil. There are some things you don't understand. Madam, do you still remember the place where we first met?"

"Of course, Golden Pond is a very peculiar place."

"Yes, Jinchi. I met my lover there. I fell in love with someone I shouldn't have loved. She made me fall into pain and hesitation. Just like my companion Seth said, I have no future with her. , can only end in tragedy. I will always remember the scene when I first met her. She was washing her hair by the stream, and I was stunned. I had never seen such a beautiful woman. Scenery, this is my most cherished memory, a memory that can still bring me comfort even after many years of loneliness and separation." Talos took another sip of wine and began to recall it with a smile on his face. Smile, melancholy, happiness and pain.

"Don't worry, I didn't drink too much, I'm fine." Talos saw Gilead's "You're okay" expression, and he responded with a smile.

"Golden Pond used to be a no-go zone for Lauren Loren, but every time I had a chance, I would go there and walk around, where as long as I closed my eyes, I could smell her sweet perfume and listen. When I opened my eyes, she was standing in front of me. It was not an illusion or imagination, everything was real. I took her into my arms and pressed her slender body against mine. Her lips were as soft as velvet on her chest, and in that moment all my sadness and longing disappeared."

Aiwan's matter is a taboo topic in the team, something that cannot be touched. The Enils will not talk about this matter, and Druchi will not be idle to talk about it. If they want to talk about it, they will only talk about the melee outside the Golden Pond. After all, it was an epic battle. , a battle full of honor and pride.

Gilead and Fiswell, who joined the team in Altdorf, heard some fragmentary words during that night in the tavern. They didn't know the whole story at all, and they were relatively embarrassing presences in the team. At this moment, they were looking at each other. They could clearly feel that Talos had lost his temper, but they finally shook their heads. They could also feel that the Enils who usually followed Talos also felt that I am deliberately avoiding this place.

"That was the second to last time I met her, the last time... Is there any love more doomed to tragedy than ours? I can feel the pain in her heart, I know, I know, many times she is watching from a distance She loves me but refuses to get close to me. As a Spellweaver and a protector of the Golden Pond, she knows that such love will only lead to tragedy.

She never negated her obligations to Lauren Loren, she would not marry me, and she would not give up her role as protector of the Golden Pond and guardian of the forest. Her love would only bring heartache and loneliness, let alone love for a city-state kinsman and the son of a border lord. She accepted this, but what she was not prepared to accept was that I had to share her pain, so she always avoided me. "

At this time, Talos's face was filled with tears, and the tears fell silently, turning into endless sadness and desolation. He raised his head and drank the wine in the glass. He closed his eyes and felt the warm wine flowing from his throat and stimulating his mouth. His mood was raging like a storm, and his heart was wrapped in deep pain that he could not extricate himself from. He felt deep helplessness and despair, as if all hope had been lost and he was defeated by the ruthless reality.

"Lauren Loren needed her strength and asked her to take responsibility, but Lauren Loren and Enil never responded to her! Give her support! Do you know? Jin Chi was a no-go area when she was still there, a no-go zone! No Ainil would break into that place, but you also saw that when you came to Jinchi, a large number of Ainil gathered in Jinchi. They brought their families with them from various regions, just to see us rescue workers. What a travesty!"

Unlike Talos's tears, he had already drank all the wine in the flagon. He tilted his head and poured it down without a drop of wine flowing out. He grabbed the Aveling fruit in the fruit basket and began to eat it in an almost angry way. His movements were stiff and rough, as if he was venting the anger and dissatisfaction deep in his heart. The sour taste of Aveling fruit filled his mouth, but he didn't seem to care about it, just using this method to escape the pain and helplessness in his heart.

"I thank Darkus, even though he came a little late, but I thank him, he did everything he could do! I don't care what kind of Druchi or Asul he is, I admire him and trust him He is just like us riding a cold lizard to fight together. Alas... If only he could come earlier, just a little bit closer! If he could come earlier, if we arrived earlier, maybe... I He will come out of Lauren Loren with her, and she will no longer have to bear the responsibilities and shackles!

Look at the outside world, look at the Col Varnas that was once, Altdorf that is now, and see those monkeys up close. Climb up the Dragon Keep to witness that glorious moment, break into the ghostly castle together, make a scene, and maybe fly across the sea and return to our homeland of Ulthuan in the future! "

"Madam, in my opinion, there is no difference between you and her. She is trapped in the golden pond, and you are trapped in this forest. They don't understand you, are afraid of you, and don't have the slightest respect or recognition for you. They regard you as You are plagued and unknown, just like wherever you go, there will be death and pain.

It is normal not to be understood by others, but wanting to be recognized too much is the source of pain. What a good thing to say, how pleasant and natural it is to say it from Darkus's mouth, I think he is right.

The difference between you and her is that you are still alive. As you said, you are seven hundred years old. You have done enough. Maybe... you should also go and take a look, just like before. You have two mental aspects here and outside. Outside you are happy, and here you are miserable. "

"Thank you, Talos." Liv listened quietly, her eyes penetrated the leaves of the forest, seeming to be looking for something in the distance. Her expression remained calm, and after a moment she spoke, her voice soft but firm. She paused and stroked a withered branch with her fingers, "Here, I feel the power and tolerance of nature. I am with trees, flowers, grass, and streams. They are my friends and partners.

Perhaps, in the eyes of others, I am an existence that is not understood, but I am not alone. In this forest, I have my own world, my heart is at peace, and my soul is nourished.

But you are right. Perhaps, one day, I will step out of this forest again and see the outside world. Find myself and find true happiness. "

"May Elsa bless you, madam." At this time, Talos had regained his composure, as if nothing had happened just now. He turned to Gilead and asked, "What are your plans next?"

"Us? To be honest, we don't have any plans. As you know, Fiswell and I are actually more awkward in the team. Although we also participate in the battle, we will also share the spoils. I don't know Darkus' actual plan. He agreed Yes, I choose to believe him for the time being, and I have needs. I don’t want to escape or stay here. They and I are both elves, with the same face, but... I can feel that I have an essential connection with them. The difference is, I’m not used to it, and I don’t like this kind of life, I..."

Gilead shook his head at the end. His heart was hesitant and wavering. He was a warrior, not a fortune teller. He didn't know what the future would be like, he couldn't see it. His identity is too special. His family and Asanok's family also produced the Phoenix King, but the difference is that he is related to Malekith. His family has ownership of the Tyran Lok Kingdom, and his It is the only bloodline of the family.

“Time is a winding river, and many things may happen in the river. Some people may think there is no hope. The roads once traveled may be trodden again, and their ends may be rewoven. But He is different. He has the ability to cut the thread of fate. His power of fate is so powerful that after you are contaminated, your fate will also change. Time is the same for you, it is also a winding river, but it is also straight. Yes, you can see it all at a glance. Isn’t it a contradiction?

To be honest, I stopped doing divination for a long time, and I was infected with the power of his destiny. The divination I was so proud of completely failed. The scenes I saw during the divination were all related to him, and the illusions It is constantly changing, becoming unknown and uncertain every second. In the illusion, I saw your figures, standing side by side with him, facing all kinds of enemies, fighting together, cutting off the thread of fate together, witnessing glory and miracles, and welcoming a new era. "

Liv's voice was low and full of meaning. She turned her head and smiled at Talos and Gilead. It was a deep smile.

"What about you? Madam, have you seen yourself in the illusion?" Fiswell stuck his head out and asked curiously.

"I never see myself in the illusion, just like that person, she can't see herself in the mirror. In the words of Darkus, does this mean that a healer cannot heal himself?"

Darkus did not respond to Lilith immediately. He stood behind a window made of branches with his hands behind his back, looking at the duel in the open space in the distance. When the last eternal guard failed, he shook his head in disappointment. He was a little confused. Was it that the eternal guards here were too good? Or is Bainie already strong, and he becomes even stronger after facing all kinds of monsters and monsters along the way? The eternal guard's wheel battle was meaningless against Baine, leaving his somewhat eager uncle with no chance to play.

"Ulthuan? I don't want to see too much bloodshed. I still remember the scene when I first saw Malekith. I stood at a high level commanding and pointing. Now that I think about it... ha, ha. Haha, how embarrassing. Malekith gave me enough respect at that time, and he even cooperated with me and started a kind of role play with me? "

As age, vision, and experience increase, the perspective on things will change. Darkus now understands this deeply.

A large-scale all-out war is an unprecedentedly fierce all-out confrontation based on comprehensive mobilization.

Ulthuan is playing a total war. The huge population and mobilization system are there, and the terrain and fortresses are still there. As long as Ulthuan is given enough time, a steady stream of Assur legions will come over. No matter how elite and well-trained Drukhi is, he can't beat one against a hundred, and all the energy will be used up. By then, Drukhi's early advantage will be in vain, and there will either be a long-term confrontation like before, or it will be a long-term confrontation. After a confrontation, he was eventually driven into the sea.

That's one against ten, there are ten kingdoms right there. Moreover, Asul knew how Druchi treated Asur. Under normal circumstances, Asur would fight to the end. Once it was over, no foolish Asur would choose to surrender unless there was a serious situation. masochistic tendencies.

dragon? Druchi has it, and Asur has it too. Spell caster? Druchi has it, and Asur has it too.

Expand login at multiple points? Like the raid on the Cosque Kingdom during the Great Schism? The problem is that the fate of that fleet was not very good, and it was overtaken by the Assur navy. The dragon boat is faster than the ark. If you can't beat it, you can run away. It doesn't matter which way you come, I will only go all the way. Not only the ark, but also the large army on the ark have to be thrown into the sea to feed the fish. Even if they land for supplies, it will be a problem. Azul just pulls the plug by playing hard to get the enemy to clear the field, and then he will really be in trouble.

Moreover, landing is of no use. In addition to sharing attention, you will eventually have to face the massive Assur army and the fortress lying there. Unless you drive the Ark into the sea gate, enter the inland sea, and have an internal flowering, the whole Brand new version. The problem is where Lothern is. Lothern is not that easy to capture.

Asul is not a big fool. After the navy suffered huge losses, he must have known that Druch was coming to Lothern.

An old-fashioned assassination? Or play with hot weapons? Equip Druch with muskets and artillery? That's nothing, just traveling to the late Ming Dynasty to fight the Tartars, right? After that, the memory of the elves is not a fish, and it can't be restarted. Let's just let the lizard people join in. If you want to fight, fight with real swords and spears until you are defeated and defeated. The martial spirit of the elves cannot be lost at any cost. In this world and the original world, an army that can face the sword is often more powerful than anything else. Thermal weapons are important.

This is not a game, it all depends on the numerical value. A team of farmers and soldiers can knock out half of the HP of a monster that refuses to retreat. The reality is that peasants and soldiers are under tremendous psychological pressure when facing vampires and mastiffs, and are always on the verge of collapse and disintegration.

In a sense, war is gambling. The occurrence of war often involves various uncertain factors, and risks and rewards coexist. There is only one opportunity and window. If you don't bite it off, you will be completely kicked. Maybe the bad things at the end will happen in advance.

"Can you be more specific? There are some things where our interests are the same. What can I do?" Lilith frowned slightly, her eyes showing a hint of thinking as she asked the question. She tilted her head slightly and put one hand on her chin, as if she was carefully weighing Darkus' words. Her movements were light and graceful.

"Finubar is the node. You control the prophecy and you know his future achievements. This is the main reason why I came to Ersin Alvin at this time."

"So... you are going to kill him now?" Lilith's voice was full of teasing and teasing, and she tapped her fingers on the table, as if to intensify her joke.

"?" Darkus' expression seemed a little confused. He looked at Lilith with the eyes of a serious illness. He noticed that there was a hint of teasing and joking in Lilith's eyes. He shook his head speechlessly, and then looked directly at Lilith. His expression and movements became solemn and serious, "The conflict between Druchi and the Kingdom of Caledor is irreconcilable. It is a civil war between elves. In essence, it is Druchi versus the Kingdom of Caledor. I hope Finubal can side with Druchi, which will make things simpler and allow the elves to bleed less and preserve more power."

The Caledor Kingdom is too big a mountain, and Darkus must destroy it no matter what. This is not in line with his interests and expectations for the future, no matter how much he respects Caledor in the maelstrom. As Marcelan's divine choice, Marcelan was so interested in him and gave him this and that, so he must express his gratitude. It's nothing to join forces with the Kingdom of Caledor to deal with other kingdoms, and the Kingdom of Caledor is just the spokesperson of the mountain. There are many kingdoms in it. I draw my sword and look around at a loss, right? If only things were that simple.

Are you going to cut down the vassal in the future, or turn the Kingdom of Caledor into another Kingdom of Nagaryth?

"Oh, don't worry, I'm just joking. I understand. As the chosen one of Marcelan, you don't want to see the elves lose too many navies. At the same time, you also want to take Lothern without any blood and use it as an advance base. ? And... let the Kingdom of Etain and Cosqui, or even the Kingdom of Yris, remain neutral in the war, or stand on your side? Although I don't know much about the war, I know that this way the east of Ulthuan will not Under pressure again, I have to say that this is a wise decision." Lilith's smile became brighter, and her eyes shone with relaxation and joy.

"That's probably what it means."

"I'll do my best, Darkus, may I ask?"

"I promise, you will get what you want. Although our methods are different, our steps are the same, aren't we? I promise that when Malekith is crowned Phoenix Queen, Asu, who represents the origin of the elves, The Holy Fire will burn stronger than ever, I can do this!" Darkus said while coming to the door.

"Yes, you are right, our goals are the same, that's why we can sit here and talk." Lilith's voice was soft but firm.

"Now, I'm going to sleep. Sorry, the bed here is too small." Darkus said while opening the door made of branches.

"Who wants to sleep in the same bed with you!" Lilith's expression changed instantly, and her voice was filled with shame, anger and annoyance.

"You always say that I don't have a gentlemanly manner." Darkus said while doing the farewell etiquette. When he finished, he continued, "Is it done now? Please!"

"I will keep your promise in mind! I will do my best!" Lilith stood up and floated in front of Darkus. She stared at Darkus who was close at hand. After a moment, she She said slowly, and then she floated away.

"I hope you don't screw it up, ma'am." Darkus said while shrugging at Drusara, who had been watching silently.

"Dear, is this... really good?"

"Unlike Nagaros and Lauren Loren, she has great influence here. Didn't you listen to what she just said? She is the trinity here. We are destined to be different from her, unless she gives up the prophecy. We can't It's a shame to take a bath, go to sleep, the vernal equinox is coming, and I want to see with my own eyes how that monster comes out." (End of Chapter)
