Warcraft Eternal Tree

Chapter 286 The so-called measures

Duke Aldrich walked out of a villa with satisfaction. After saying a few polite words to the owner of the farewell villa, he got into his carriage.

When the coachman saw the Duke getting into the carriage, he waved his whip to urge the two horses pulling the carriage and drove back to the Duke's mansion. The carriage drove slowly through the streets of the aristocratic district, which had become a little quiet because it had been dark for a long time.

Because there are no pedestrians or vehicles on the street, the driver does not need to concentrate on controlling the horse. Bored, he plucked up the courage and started chatting with Duke Aldrich in the carriage in a flattering tone.

"Your Majesty, many nobles have invited you to banquets recently." Duke Aldrich in the carriage smiled proudly when he heard the coachman's complimentary words. However, as a nobleman, he was reserved and did not want to talk to the coachman anymore. He snorted in a dignified and low tone and stopped talking.

The coachman shrank his head, not daring to continue talking to Duke Aldrich, and concentrated on driving his horse. At this time, Duke Aldrich, who was sitting in the carriage, did not show a majestic posture in front of his servants, but had a smug look on his face.

In the past, although he had the title of hereditary duke on his head, because he was only a nominal noble with no fiefdom, and he did not hold any important position in the Kingdom of Gilis, Duke Aldrich was not actually taken seriously in the kingdom. .

However, precisely because he was not taken seriously, Duke Aldrich began to act like a noble. Because only by maintaining the so-called aristocratic tradition can his status as a duke be reflected. When the night elves occupied the Severn Kingdom and issued a request for humans to release the enslaved elves, Duke Aldrich was the first to stand up and express that he would not do what the night elves demanded.

Because in the tradition of the nobility, elf slaves are a very important part. Duke Aldrich regarded himself as a model of nobility, so naturally he would not agree to destroy this tradition.

What he didn't expect was that after he made a gesture, he suddenly became a favorite in the kingdom. Many powerful nobles and powerful ministers in the court have invited him to banquets recently. Indulging in everyone's completely different attitude from before, which could almost be said to be indifferent, Duke Aldrich did not think about why these people suddenly respected him, the neglected Duke.

In Duke Aldrich's mind, the treatment he received recently was just. As a duke who strives to uphold the tradition of nobility, everyone should respect him. As for the issue of those elven slaves? Ha, that's just something to show your attitude, who cares?

Duke Aldrich did not know that many of the upper echelons of the Gilis Kingdom would often invite him to banquets recently because of his attitude towards the elf slaves.

It can be said that now that the Night Elves are showing their strength, Duke Aldrich is the first one among the Dukes of the Kingdom and above to openly deny the Night Elves face. The reason why many of the upper echelons of the Gilis Kingdom often invited him to various large and small banquets recently was because they wanted to keep a close eye on his fate.

If nothing happens to Duke Aldrich in the end, it will prove that the declaration issued by the night elves is just a big thunder and a small rain. In this case, most nobles who are reluctant to part with beautiful elf slaves don't have to worry. And if Duke Aldrich encounters misfortune, then he needs to carefully consider the night elves' proposal.

However, Duke Aldrich, who is very courageous or very nervous, does not know all this. He was lying in the carriage, imagining that he would be a guest of various high-ranking figures in the royal capital. It would be best if His Majesty the King would grant him a territory or something.

However, when Duke Aldrich was thinking about where to find a territory that fit his status as a duke, something unexpected happened. Because he had been relatively out of power in the past few days, Duke Aldrich did not have as many guards as ordinary nobles.

However, because it was in a noble area, there was no need to worry about safety issues, so Duke Aldrich went to a nobleman's family banquet with only his coachman. The coachman was concentrating on driving the carriage and did not realize that on the empty street, a shadow that ordinary people could not see was coldly watching the approaching carriage.

When the carriage approached the figure for a certain distance, an almost imperceptible gleam of light flashed and the figure disappeared. Immediately afterwards, after a muffled sound that the coachman didn't pay attention to, the figure appeared outside the carriage again and quickly disappeared.

Ever since the night elves issued their declaration, various human countries and forces have been paying close attention to the matter. Duke Aldrich of the Gilis Kingdom jumped out on his own, and many people were secretly applauding. When everyone feels that the future is uncertain, a timely breakthrough will make everyone feel grateful.

And just today, everyone who was paying attention to Duke Aldrich understood the true attitude of the night elves.

The night before, Duke Aldrich was found dead in his carriage. In the next few magic hours, several nobles of the Gilis Kingdom who had frequently invited Duke Aldrich to banquets some time ago were also found dead in their homes.

Although the murderer did not leave any information, everyone knew that it was the work of the night elves. Because, according to Yu Fei's instructions, after completing the assassination mission, Maiev conveniently sent the elf slaves to the Wang Family Inn in the Kingdom of Gillis.

Several nobles were assassinated in the Gilis Kingdom, but they did not take any drastic action. Even under the secret order of the currently reigning King Gillis IV, the Wang Family Inn really cooperated in transporting the elven slaves Maiev sent there to the direction of the Severn Kingdom.

Many people admired Gillis IV's forbearance, but also understood the helplessness involved. The newly born night elves, no one has figured out their temperament. The only thing that is known is that the night elves mercilessly killed more than a million soldiers of the Severn Kingdom.

Judging from this exposure, at least the night elves are definitely not good-tempered. The Kingdom of Gilis is just an ordinary kingdom, far inferior to the Kingdom of Severn in terms of strength. Naturally, it does not dare to object to the actions of the night elves. Who allowed his country to have a brainless duke? Just hold your nose and admit it.

Also, Maiev's strength also shocked and even frightened Gillis IV. Among the nobles that Maiev assassinated, one belonged to a long-standing family. Among them, there is a legendary mage. However, when Maiev carried out the assassination, the legendary mage not only failed to discover and stop it in advance, but was even killed himself.

The Kingdom of Gilis is not as powerful a country as the Kingdom of Severn, and the highest among the royal family are legendary powerhouses. If the killers of the night elves were willing, wouldn't they be able to kill themselves too? Thinking of this, Gillis IV later cooperated with the night elves' declaration. Not only did he free all the elf slaves in the royal family, he even asked the noble ministers to do the same.

In fact, Gillis IV's fear was a little too much. Maiev, who has never reached the sixth level of the hero level, is at the mid-level of legend in terms of her own strength. With the bonus of a set of luxurious equipment, it is epic.

It's just that the mist skill makes it easiest for Maiev to deal with mages, so after Yu Fei took a fancy to the inferior soul crystal, Maiev easily dealt with the legendary mage from the noble family.

There is more than one legendary powerhouse in the Gillis royal family, and Maiev will not take risks easily.

With the example of the Gilis Kingdom, in addition to the three major empires and the Candela Commercial Kingdom Alliance, many human countries have released enslaved elves. Of course, there may be some nobles who have secretly hid elf slaves and decided not to take them out for their own enjoyment in the future without letting others know about them. The night elves have nothing to do for the time being.

Some countries that wanted to please the night elves even took the initiative to send freed elf slaves to the Severn Kingdom occupied by the night elves, just like the Kingdom of Gilis.

However, the attitudes of the three major empires and the alliance of Candela Commercial Kingdom made Yu Fei a little confused. Candela Alliance Yu Fei can still understand. After all, they are merchant countries, and they must want to get some benefits from the night elves. But why didn’t the three major empires respond?

In the human world of Esraze, a relatively delicate situation has always been maintained. The Holy Lion Empire and the Botswana Empire have an undisguised hostile relationship, while the rising star Canaan Empire can be regarded as having both sides. However, because the Botswana Empire is generally weak, it is more biased towards the Botswana Empire.

The emergence of the night elves and their direct intervention in the human world should be a relatively big impact on the three empires, which are in a relatively balanced state. No matter which empire the night elves choose to support, the other or both sides will feel tremendous pressure.

Under such circumstances, the three major empires should take the initiative to show goodwill to the night elves and release the elven slaves. Why is there no movement?

Yu Fei was puzzled and simply stopped speculating on the attitudes of the three empires. What kind of medicines are sold in these three countries will definitely show up in the near future. Yu Fei is now concerned about the elven tribes that are constantly moving into the night elves' sphere of influence, as well as the liberated elven slaves being transported over.

The arrival of the native elves has solved the problem of the night elves' management of the occupied areas to a large extent. Although elves and humans have many differences and discords, they can still play a management role with the power established by the night elves and the elves themselves not too weak.

What makes Yu Fei a little distressed is that the dozen or so elders of the elven tribe that Yu Fei's clone has contacted are all clamoring to meet the larvae of the World Tree.
