The Death Knell

Josavgard is a giant orchid. The tallest pistil rises into the sky, about thirty kilometers high, and the palace is on the top.

The slightly shorter one is a circle of spreading stamens, like a tower, which is where various government agencies are located, such as the import and export trade department, the carnival organization department, the travel department, and the entertainment methods research department. etc.

This city is not a building shaped like a flower, but a real giant plant, just not as big as the World Tree, and it has no self-awareness.

The slender petals glow with a faint orange light and form the outer walls of the city and the viaducts in the city. One of the petals is stretched indefinitely to form an arch bridge across the moat made of mead, and then spread on the ground to incarnate. It is Queen's Road, which stretches hundreds of kilometers across the entire dimension.

There are branches, leaves and rhizomes below the orchid, a dense clump of green. The residents of the royal city live among these giant tubular leaves, just like living in a green skyscraper.

Although the light elves are a large alliance of various races, their population is not large to begin with, and they were massacred by the dark elves in the past, so naturally there are no problems such as traffic congestion or housing difficulties.

"There seems to be no sign of fighting." Diana pulled out her sword and shield. She adjusted her breathing and prepared to take action: "Let me kill these ugly monsters."

"No, don't worry. They are just ordinary trolls. You can kill them anytime you want." Su Ming pulled her arm and signaled to calm down: "I'm a little curious about what these guys are talking about now. Obviously The royal city doesn’t even have a gate, but they don’t enter the city and are still chatting by the moat? Cloak, stealth mode, take us closer, hover over each other’s heads and listen for a while.”

After listening to a few words, Su Ming already understood.

The answer is actually very simple. There are about two hundred trolls arguing about the ownership of the bridge.

Didn't that slender petal become a bridge to span the wide mead moat? The length looks similar to the former Rainbow Bridge, very majestic.

Trolls love bridges very much. How can they resist seeing such a giant bridge?

Immediately a troll claimed the bridge as his own.

But his companions were not happy. We all came together. Obviously I saw the bridge first, so this bridge should be mine.

The third companion objected again, saying that he could smell the fragrance of the bridge from a distance, so the bridge should belong to him.

The fourth troll is the smartest, at least Su Ming thinks so, because this guy said that the other trolls present are rubbish, because he has long dreamed of crossing this flower bridge, so this bridge should be his.

As we all know, if you want to pass a bridge guarded by trolls, you must either pay for the road or start a war on the spot. This is a rule that the troll family has followed for thousands of years and is also their only tribal law.

So the problem arises. Now these trolls cannot go to war with each other before attacking the royal city. After all, King Ulric has ordered that no internal strife is allowed.

But none of them are willing to pay money to others, which is a big loss. Shiny money is precious and difficult to get.

What is the war picture about? Isn’t it just more food and treasures? Everyone knows the trolls.

Therefore, before attacking the city, they must first decide who owns the bridge, how much the bridge toll should be, and how to distribute the bridge in the absence of King Ulric.

""

Carol, who eavesdropped and monitored the enemies, was speechless, not to mention that the trolls also spoke English.

There are no guards on the long petal bridge, there is no gate on the other side of the royal city, there are no long-range weapons in the city, let alone air power, and not even a shadow of a light elf can be seen on the street.

But the troll army was blocked by an empty bridge? Do these trolls really have any brains, should they be so casual?

Squirrel previously said that the light elves fought against the invaders. How did they fight? Sit-ins? The trolls are indeed bald and shirtless, but they are not Gandhi either. At this time Zhang Si

It is true that those who defend the city are outrageous, and those who attack the city are even more outrageous.

She wanted to complain, but she didn't know what to say. She could only look at Su Ming next to her like a dead fish, asking for instructions on what to do next.

To be honest, Su Ming wanted to laugh a little. After all, such a simple race as trolls is really rare in Marvel.

Also, if they hadn't been so stupid, they wouldn't have been tricked into working by Odin back then.

Today I said I would give you money after building this tower. In a few days, I will give you money once the road is paved. Then after the road is paved, you will be paid once the sewers are installed. In the end, you will be paid per dollar after the city wall is built. .

In this way, Odin deceived the trolls and let them participate in nearly 80% of Asgard's construction projects, which were all heavy physical work.

When the work was done, his face changed and he refused to admit it. The young god king kicked the trolls out of the fairy palace and told them to get out. It was kind enough not to kill these aliens.

The trolls tried to be more aggressive, but found that the wall they built for Odin had become the biggest obstacle. In the end, they could only withdraw their troops angrily and return to the sewers to survive, usually eating some food waste from the fairy palace. And so on, the hatred will naturally accumulate more and more.

Azeroth also had a similar situation. Stonemasons who were owed wages also went to form the 'Defia Brotherhood'. Migrant workers did not like to be owed wages.

Su Ming sometimes likes to take advantage, but he feels that Odin has gone too far. A race that could have been used as a coolie for a long time was used once and pushed to the opposite side?

No matter how you think about it, this is a loss.

If it were Su Ming himself, he would pay in installments and use the money to keep the trolls in service forever. For example, he would settle the accounts of the first year in the second year, and pay the money on a monthly basis like a salary instead of one payment for each project. With a little more political propaganda and cultural assimilation, he is confident that it will take less than a hundred years to tame these big guys into loyal watchdogs.

Apart from anything else, if there were trolls around, wouldn't the Rainbow Bridge be maintained for free every day? Even if you don't need it, the trolls are thick-skinned and not afraid of hardship or dirt, so it would be great to leave it open to the sewers.

What a waste, a waste of talent.

But that is also a thing of the past. When he did these immoral things, Odin was still blind and did not obtain the wisdom given by the World Tree. He was just a reckless man.

"Xiao Dai, kill them, and then we go into the city." Su Ming patted the back of Diana's hand holding the sword and motioned for her to take action quickly. Two hundred trolls were not a problem to her, that is, only a dozen A matter of seconds. strong sacrifice reading sacrifice

But Diana struggled for a while and shook her head. She put away the sword: "Come on, my Vulcan sword is not used to kill fools. This battle is not glorious at all."

"Well, okay." Su Ming raised her eyebrows and nodded. Now that she had raised the question to the level of Amazon's glory: "Strangler, kill them all, remember to collect genes, and give them to the adjutant to try artificial breeding. .”

"Hey!" Zhi Da Zhi Xiao

Black tentacles suddenly fell from the sky and wrapped around the necks of every troll below like a noose, followed by the loud sound of "opening a can and drinking juice".
