Chapter 719 720. The Earl's Thoughts

The next morning

Eight magic airships neatly ascended into the wind flow layer and chased towards the northwest of Queen Island according to the information provided by the Silver Pegasus Knights.

Currently, two Silver Pegasus Knights were following the more than 30 three-masted sailing ships that were fleeing, and they were constantly carrying out air strikes on these gray dwarf bandits.

Roy led eight magic airships to chase them, not only to provide support to the Silver Pegasus Knights, but most importantly, Roy had his eyes on the more than 30 three-masted sailing ships in the hands of the gray dwarf bandits.

The fire on the Queen Island Port Pier has not been completely extinguished yet, and the entire Queen Island Port Pier has become a ruin.

The 17th Silver Pegasus Legion also lost a large number of medium-sized sailing ships. At present, they can only chase the gray dwarf bandits at high altitude.

In fact, the Silver Pegasus Knights can no longer fly in the sky...

Silver Pegasus needs to find an island to rest every once in a while, but the vast ocean is not full of islands. When the Silver Pegasus Knights look for an island to rest, it is easy for them to lose the fleet of the Gray Dwarf Bandits.

Roy led eight magic airships to catch up this time, just to provide a platform for the Silver Pegasus Knights to rest.

And Roy's purpose is also very clear. He is interested in the three-masted sailing ships of the Gray Dwarf Bandits and wants to add a few more magic airships to his fleet...

...

Looking at the magic airship slowly taking off...

For a moment, Earl Swinburne was also a little tempted and wanted to transform two magic airships.

The golden beach of Queen Island has now become a ruin, and a large number of Silver Moon Elf warriors are cleaning the battlefield on the beach.

If the bodies of the dead Gray Dwarves are not dealt with in time, the entire Queen Island will be filled with the smell of rotting corpses, and various infectious diseases may be accompanied.

Some of the gray dwarf bandits were burned to ashes by the fire, and some of the corpses that were rotting in the sea water needed to be dragged together and buried in pits near the beach.

In addition to the gray dwarf corpses that needed to be buried, the biggest problem facing Earl Swinburne was how to deal with the 35,000 gray dwarf prisoners on the island.

Such a large number of gray dwarf prisoners, even if reduced by half, the prison on the island of Parram could not accommodate them.

Earl Swinburne could not release the gray dwarf bandits either. He thought that perhaps the mines on the Pagisto Plateau could digest some gray dwarf prisoners.

Earl Macaulay came over with a group of Silver Moon Elf officers. Most of the officers stood at the door of the terrace. Only Earl Macaulay walked into the terrace alone and stood side by side with Earl Swinburne.

The main turning point of the great victory of Queen Island this time was that Roy's eight magic airships suddenly rushed down and burned the fleet of gray dwarf bandits.

In addition, the magic airships participated in the siege battle at the port dock. They suppressed the gray dwarf bandits who landed at the port dock in the sky and blocked them at the port dock...

If those gray dwarf bandits do not surrender, it may not take long for them and the entire port dock to be reduced to ashes.

Earl Macaulay said straight to the point:

"At present, the total population of half-blood elves in the Partington plane has exceeded one million, and the mine guard group is also expanding. This group of half-blood elf guards has transformed into a well-equipped elf guard army. Ablansa, if one day, this half-blood elf guard army will fight for the half-blood elves, once they become our enemies, what should we do?"

Earl Swinburne has long known that many Silver Moon Elf officers in the legion have such concerns.

He turned around and looked at Earl Macaulay, then said steadily:

"The Emerald Dragon created the High Elves, Silver Moon Elves, Dark Moon Elves, and Wood Elves, and it gave the elves a number of inalienable rights, including the right to life, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness. I think... half-blood elves and half-elves should also have these rights."

This sentence made Earl Macaulay a little mute.

Seeing that Earl Macaulay didn't want to talk, Earl Swinburne continued to say to him:

"Half-blood elves have a long history. Since the three elves intermarried thousands of years ago, half-blood elves have been born in the Elf Continent. Over the years, discrimination and enslavement of half-blood elves have been prevalent in all parts of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom. This kind of thing is not conducive to the development of the Elf World."

"And many of our nobles, in order to enjoy a luxurious life, turned a blind eye to this, and even thought that as long as this unequal social relationship can be maintained, the lives of the Silver Moon Elves in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom will become easier and easier... This is obviously a fallacy."

"The original Partington plane The riot was actually the result of various conflicts that had been accumulated for a long time. "

Earl Swinburne lowered his voice a little,

"If these conflicts are not resolved in time, there may be greater conflicts."

He put his hand on his old friend Earl Macaulay's shoulder and whispered to him:

"In fact, a long time ago, His Majesty Janris Ansel discovered that the fertility of half-blood elves is ten times that of silver moon elves, and they have no pressure to choose a mate. When choosing a mate, they can choose half-blood elves, dark moon elves, silver moon elves, and wood elves. No matter what they choose, they are all half-blood elves!"

"In the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom, mixed-blood elves almost work at the lowest level, such as night watchmen, gravediggers, porters, various low-level craftsmen, traders, etc., and even very few attendants. It can be said that the Silver Moon Elf can survive Living such a comfortable life now, where you can live at home and rely on various subsidies without even having to work, is not a good thing for the Silver Moon elves. "

"There are now almost 30 million Silver Moon elves in the Elf Continent, and the number of mixed-blood elves in various places is about 7 million..."

"Due to fertility issues, the population of Silver Moon elves is currently decreasing year by year, while the population of mixed-blood elves is increasing year by year."

"Even though some Silver Moon Elf nobles continue to squeeze the mixed-blood elves and keep their lives at the subsistence level. They need to work hard to survive, but the population of mixed-blood elves continues to surge. In the past ten years, there have been even more small Explosive trend.”

"His Majesty James Ansel and the sages of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom have preliminary calculations. If things continue like this, it may not take two hundred years for the population of mixed-blood elves in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom to be equal to that of the Silver Moon Elf. , Macaulay, have you ever thought about what that Silver Moon Elf Kingdom would look like? "

Lord Swinburne's eyes fell on Lord Macaulay's face.

"There will be more and more mixed-blood elves, but there will be fewer and fewer Silver Moon elves..."

Count Macaulay's face looked a little ugly. This was the first time he heard Count Swinburne talk about His Majesty Ans Ayre's attitude towards mixed elves.

Lord Swinburne nodded,

"Yes, we, the Silver Moon Elf clan, will slowly become the weaker side, and the growing number of mixed-blood elves will slowly enter the management of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom, and even become the leaders of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom. At that time, Conflicts in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom will break out more violently."

"Mixed-blood elves will actively fight for higher rights, just like the privileges that the Silver Moon elves now have. When they come to power, the mixed-blood elves will also fight for the mixed-blood elves..."

"Perhaps at that time, intermarriage between Silver Moon elves and mixed-blood elves will become a common thing. Perhaps half of the members of the Elf Elders Council in a city are mixed-blood elven elders. Note, I am talking about the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom. of every city.”

"At that time, there will definitely be greater conflicts between the Silver Moon elves and the mixed-blood elves for certain interests. When the conflicts become the most extreme, there will be racial divisions, just like the Silver Moon elves, the Dark Moon elves, the Wooden elves, The way the elves divided the elven continent into three parts..."

"You also know that the Elf Continent is only so big. The Evernight Forest where the Dark Moon Elves live in the north will definitely not accept mixed-blood elves. How much land can the World Tree of Darnassus in the south give to the mixed-blood elves? In the end, the ones who suffer the loss are not We Silver Moon elves, maybe because of our population, will give up half of the kingdom to the mixed elves."

Speaking of the land of the Elf Continent, this is the main plane of the Elf World. How could the territory of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom be given away so easily...

Earl Swinburne drew a very clear mark on the map with his fingernails, dividing the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom into two. ,

At this time, Earl Macaulay's face had turned livid. Although he had not yet understood Earl Swinburne's methods, he clearly felt that His Majesty James Ansel was considering the future of the entire Silver Moon Elf Kingdom. future.

"Ablansa, I'm a little confused..." Lord Macaulay said to Lord Swinburne.

"Since you also know that the mixed-blood elves are such a big threat to us Silver Moon elves, why do other Silver Moon Elf nobles suppress the mixed-blood elves? Instead, you have been speaking for them and even given them a lot of help. You even supported Roy in Pa The first mixed-blood elf city was established in the Tinton plane, so that now nearly ten thousand mixed-blood elves pour into the Tinton plane every day..."

Hearing what Earl Macaulay said, Earl Swinburne smiled.

Earl Macaulay's pupils shrank at this time, and he suddenly thought of Earl Swinburne's intention.

"Do you want to use the Partington plane to create a huge siphon effect and wash out all the mixed-blood elves in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom?"

Earl Swinburne raised his eyebrows and was a little dissatisfied with Earl Macaulay's wording. He corrected:

"It can't be said to be washed out. I just want the mixed-blood elves to recognize that the Partington plane is their world, so that they can consciously withdraw from the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom, and at least they will not compete with us for land on the Elf Continent in the future."

"Actually, life in the Partington plane is quite good. The forest resources there are very abundant, and there is also a sea in the south..."

"We still have a lot of planes like Partington. Giving a plane to the mixed elves may not necessarily be a loss for us. You see, there is a steady flow of transportation from the Partington plane. The magic herbs and magic metal ingots that come out are the best feedback for us."

After Earl Swinburne finished speaking, his eyes glanced from the direction of the port...

Earl Macaulay asked curiously: "Is this all what you and His Majesty Ans Ayer were talking about when you met?"

"We've been talking a lot lately..."

replied Lord Swinburne.

"I heard that the Dark Legion has been discovered in the Partington plane. Once the Dark Legion takes over the Partington plane in the future, will they use the Partington plane as a springboard to attack the Elf Continent in the main plane?" McCaw Earl Lee couldn't help but asked worriedly.

Earl Swinburne raised his chin and glanced at Earl Macaulay with his peripheral vision, but did not answer his question.

Earl Macaulay was stunned for a moment, then quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

…

Roy led the magic airship to stay in the wind layer for less than an hour, and the lookouts on the magic airship discovered the Silver Pegasus Knights under the clouds.

Roy immediately ordered the magic airship to descend quickly. After leaving the wind layer, the magic airship fell steadily from above the clouds and immediately appeared above the fleeing fleet of the gray dwarf robbers.

More than 30 three-masted sailing ships on the sea were advancing rapidly, and the Silver Pegasus Knights were flying around the gray dwarf fleet.

Since there were several crossbows on the three-masted sailing ships, the Silver Pegasus Knights did not dare to fly too low.

All the investment weapons carried by the Silver Pegasus Knights were used up, and these Silver Pegasus Knights had been chasing for a day and a night, and they were already ill-equipped. At present, they only relied on the Silver Pegasus to glide in the sky.

As soon as the fleet appeared, Roy asked the half-elf guards to give up the deck of the magic airship and summoned the silver Pegasus knights flying in the sky to land on the deck to rest.

The leaders of the two silver Pegasus Knights were not polite and immediately took the exhausted silver Pegasus knights to land on the magic airship.

As a result, the magic airship was seriously overloaded. Even with the twelve floating devices fully turned on, it could not stop the magic airship from falling.

Seeing the silver Pegasus knights landing on the deck, Roy took the initiative to greet them and ordered the crew to take some apples and breadfruits from the warehouse to let the silver Pegasus knights fill their stomachs first and then rest.

Seeing Roy's enthusiasm, the two leaders of the silver Pegasus Knights thanked Roy repeatedly.

Roy stood on the deck and said to the two leaders of the Silver Pegasus Knights kindly:

"The Earl sent me to catch up with you to provide you with a place to rest and to supply you with supplies."

Sure enough, the half-elves on the ship took out boxes of fruit from the cabin, and then took out some heavy wooden boxes from the bottom of the magic airship. Roy personally stepped forward and opened the lids of these heavy wooden boxes, and inside were short flying spears of excellent quality.

The Silver Pegasus Knights attacked the gray dwarf's three-masted sailing ship in the sky, almost relying on this kind of magic short flying spears. Ordinary feather arrows could not penetrate the full-covered dwarf chain mail and barrel helmets on the gray dwarf robbers.
