Path of light

Chapter 286 287. Who is the prey?

The negotiators rushed to the rebel command post in Barrier Village again for a second negotiation, this time the rebels would put forward a series of demands.

During the first negotiation, the rebels asked the Silver Moon elves to set aside a piece of land for the half-blood elves on the Partington plane, and to establish a half-blood elven autonomous state. The governor would also be a half-blood elf, and the Silver Moon Elf Legion would do the work. Guarantee that all mixed elves in the rebel army will not be liquidated by the military afterwards.

At that time, the Silver Moon Elf negotiators felt that the rebels made many unreasonable demands.

Out of anger, the negotiator directly terminated the negotiation and left the Partington plane the next day.

I thought that after the negotiation was terminated, the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion would take the opportunity to eradicate the rebel army, but I did not expect that Earl Swinburne had remained stationary and did not attack the rebel army.

Only Padstow City was sealed off, and even Padstow City was under strict material control.

It was the material control implemented by Earl Swinburne that made life in the Barrier Village very difficult. All the edible things in the surrounding woods had been picked. Every day, a group of mixed-blood elves went to the jungle farther away to collect food.

There is no way, the number of rebels gathered in the barrier village is too much, and it has seriously exceeded the limit that the barrier village can bear.

In order to facilitate the management of these rebels, the leader of the rebel army divided the rebel army into five areas. The rebels in the first area were the mixed-blood elves who initially rebelled with him, and the second area can also be regarded as the participants in the initial period. , there are approximately 20,000 mixed elves in these two areas.

In the next three areas, the rebels retreated to the barrier village. Many mixed-blood elves came here because of their reputation. Every day, mixed-blood elves joined, and the team grew bigger and bigger...

Today, the number of rebels has swelled to 50,000 mixed elves.

The rebel team has become extremely bloated and has even lost its mobility...

Unless the leader of the rebel army can make up his mind and completely abandon most of the old, young, sick and disabled, it will be difficult for the rebel army to leave the barrier village.

Therefore, the demands made by the rebel leader to the Silver Moon Elf negotiators this time were still the conditions listed in the first negotiation.

It's just that during this negotiation, the rebels' situation was even worse.

There are still mixed-blood elves coming from all over the Partington plane every day. Everyone thinks that Barrier Village has become a place of freedom. It has become a gathering place for mixed-blood elves and a paradise for mixed-blood elves... …

In fact, the last bit of order maintained by the barrier village is gradually disappearing.

…

Some half-blood elf rebels were chatting by the tree. They had nothing to do all day long. Almost everything was lacking here.

Everyone is discussing where to get food.

Many mixed elves are worried that if the second negotiation fails, a war will break out here.

They were originally just elf hunters in the jungle south of Padstow City. They could set up traps to hunt wind foxes, but if they wanted to start a war with the regular Silver Moon Elf army, everyone knew that it would be okay if they carried out small-scale guerrilla warfare in the jungle and let them hold on to the barrier. The village... has no chance of winning at all.

Roy and Sabrina walked into the messy Fifth District in casual clothes. There were hammocks hanging on many big trees here, and some mixed elves lay in the hammocks to sleep in during the day.

The entire forest has become a living area, and many tents have been set up in the forest clearing.

Some mixed-blood elf children were playing in this forest glade where sewage flowed. When they saw Roy and Sabrina, they cheered and surrounded them.

They didn't ask for food, they just stared at the packages behind Roy and Sabrina.

Sabrina took out the leather bag very simply, turned it over, and said to the group of mixed-blood elf children:

"I don't have anything to eat here, so go try your luck with the elves you are looking for..."

Obviously she has some experience, because yesterday afternoon she and Instructor Nora were exhausted from dealing with these things.

When the half-blood elf children saw that there was nothing edible in Sabrina's bag, they left angrily...

"The biggest victims of war are often these poor children." Sabrina said somewhat depressedly.

"So do you think it would be happy if the Partington plane returned to what it was like half a year ago, or would it be happy if it became what it is now in pursuit of freedom and equality?" Roy whispered to Sabrina. asked.

Sabrina was slightly startled. She just felt that the life of these mixed elves was very bad now.

"Maybe we are happy now. At least they are not pigs in captivity and may be sold by slave traders at any time..." Sabrina thought carefully before saying.

The two walked into the fifth area of ​​the barrier village while talking.

Strictly speaking, this place can no longer be regarded as a barrier village. It is just a hillside next to the barrier village, where a large number of mixed elves gather.

"If you were the rebel leader, what choice would you make?" Roy continued to ask Sabrina.

"I will immediately disband this rebel army and retreat into the jungle with some mixed-blood elves. The rebel army does not need to be so bloated. If everyone stays here, they will only be dragged to death by these mixed-blood elves. It is better to retreat with some elites. To the Blackwater Swamp area..." Sabrina said firmly.

"What about the mixed-blood elves here?" Roy asked Sabrina.

"Earl Swinburne will definitely come forward to accept them. After all, his Partington plane needs to develop, and it can't do without these mixed-blood elves!" Sabrina said. She rolled her eyes, apparently thinking of something, and said to Luo Yi said:

"But if we can win some rights for these mixed-blood elves before leaving, it's not impossible..."

Maybe the rebel leader can't wait to get rid of such a bloated tail. Obviously, the Silver Moon Elf Negotiation Team is the most suitable recipient.

The negotiators representing the Silver Moon Elves may have realized this a long time ago, which is why they put forward such harsh requirements at the beginning: The first one is to require the leader of the rebel army to accept a trial before the Tribunal of the Council of Elf Elders.

Roy and Sabrina were lost in conversation.

Roy: "...that's why there will be a second negotiation."

Sabrina: "...that's why the officials on the negotiating team are so aggressive,"

Roy's eyes were a little bright and he said to Sabrina: "So they just want to get as many benefits as possible for these mixed elves before leaving!"

Sabrina turned around excitedly and said quickly to Roy: "That's probably it! Maybe they even knew clearly that there were slave traders among the rebels."

"Speaking of which, these incidents were almost all caused by Lord Alves and the slave traders. Will they leave a big gift for these slave traders before leaving?" Roy guessed.

Sabrina's eyes were clear and she looked at Roy with a smile.

The figure of the Wood Elf and the beauty of the Silver Moon Elf merge together, giving Sabrina a stunning beauty.

Several rebel soldiers wearing weapons came forward. The one in the middle came to Roy and looked at him sharply. After seeing his human face, his blue pupils shrank slightly and lowered his head to calm down. After a while, he asked the two of them:

"Where are you two from? Are you here to join our crusade?"

Roy felt that this rebel was still somewhat interesting, at least his eyes were sharp, so he quickly said:

"We came here to seek refuge with a friend. He wrote to me and said that he was doing well here and asked me to come and help him..."

"There are friends here!" The rebel soldier held the hilt of his sword tightly, trying hard to keep his voice from fluctuating too much, and then stared at Roy and asked? "Are you human? Are you looking for Wales?"

Roy shook his head and said: "The person I am looking for is a human magician. His name is Benjamin, not Wales."

Unexpectedly, the rebel soldier walked over quickly, put a big hand on Roy's shoulder, smiled so hard that he almost narrowed his eyes, and said to Roy kindly:

"That's him. His name used to be Benjamin, but now it has been changed to Wales. When you see him later, don't call him by his original name. Come with me, and I will take you to see him."

Roy and Sabrina looked at each other, not expecting things to go so smoothly.

He thought that several instructors were not far behind him and could rush over to support him at any time.

Roy didn't have any worries and followed the rebel soldiers into Area 5. He deliberately kept his pace slower to prevent Instructor Nora and the others from being unable to keep up.

…

Seeing Roy communicating with a rebel soldier, Instructor Nora and Magician Scarlett were hiding more than a hundred meters away, silently observing the situation over there.

"These mixed-blood elves are more likely to accept half-elves..."

Magician Scarlet whispered to Instructor Nora.

In order to conceal the identity of the Silver Moon Elf, she even dyed her hair blue-grey to make herself look like a hybrid of Dark Moon Elf and Silver Moon Elf...

"They are going inside, let's follow them!" Instructor Nora quickly urged.

The two instructors were about to follow, when a group of mixed-blood elf children emerged from nowhere. These children did not speak, and gathered around instructor Nora and Scarlett Magician, silently extending their hands.

Instructor Nora did not want to get entangled with these mixed-blood elf children, and frowned and said:

"We don't have anything to eat either. Get out of the way quickly. We have things to do..."

Before Instructor Nora finished speaking, he saw a mixed-blood elf child suddenly lowered his head and bumped into Instructor Nora.

Instructor Nola was afraid that he would fall to the ground, so he turned sideways and picked him up.

Unexpectedly, the mixed-blood elf child immediately shouted: "Ouch... why did you hit me!"

The mixed-blood elf rebels who were still chatting around suddenly rushed over with a roar and surrounded Instructor Nora and Magician Scarlett...
