Chapter 188 Southwest Highlands, the Pearl of Antolia!
Leon is obviously very satisfied with the results of this trip.
Although in front of the elves, Leon always looked like he was at a huge loss.
But in fact, the cost of making the Shadow Manipulator is there.
It's just that the Moon Elf clan happened to be controlled by the black mist, and the World Tree showed its decline under the influence of the black mist. This allowed Leon to open his mouth and win more benefits for Antolia.
In short, after going through three stages of frank exchange of views, enhancing mutual understanding, and cordial and friendly conversations, the Antolian people have achieved considerable results.
The Antolians will provide six shadow manipulators to the Moon Elf clan within three months, with a range that can cover the entire Moon Shadow Forest.
The Moon Elf clan, which is always asking for help, has to provide the Jimena family with three drops of water from the Moon Spring, eighty seeds of eternal fire, and four hundred and fifty elven long archers.
In addition, the elves will provide the Antorians with map information of the explored areas of the Abandoned Land in the next twelve natural months.
These elven long archers provided by the moon elves were led by the elf elder Clementi and were temporarily incorporated into the Antoria Foreign Legion.
It was impossible to return it, and Leon never considered returning it from beginning to end.
Because it was clearly written in the mercenary agreement signed with the elves.
As long as the six shadow manipulators are still in the hands of the moon elves, these elven longbowmen will need to serve the Antorians.
In fact, this is not only what Leon means, but also what Alicia means.
If you have to return it after using it, who knows if cunning humans will let the fragile elves take the lead?
In Alicia's view, only by allowing these elves to serve humans for a long time will that damn stingy lion-mouthed human nobleman named Leon Jimena know how to cherish them.
What's more...
Although they don't want to admit it from the bottom of their hearts, the elders of the Moon Elf clan, including the Elf Queen Alicia, have also realized the power of humans.
Letting a small group of elves live on a land where only humans live, maybe it's not all bad.
Elder Clementi even went against all objections and specially provided Leon with two elf maids!
I hope that through my daily influence, I can consolidate the friendly relationship between the Antolians and the Moon Elf clan!
One is called Angelica and the other is called Fenna.
As for Leon...
he naturally accepted the good intentions of the elves openly.
Trust is definitely out of the question.
But when Antolia's foreign legion, the Elf Longbowmen, makes its grand debut, this race that had only appeared in the legends of bards before will inevitably reappear in human vision.
And when it came time for the noble banquet, Leon was accompanied by two elf maids...
Tsk tsk!
This is the card!
Of course, the most worthy of Leon's attention are the four hundred and fifty elven long archers from the Moon Shadow Forest.
I have to say that the elves are pretty good looking.
Although the elves who have lived in the abandoned land for a long time and are surrounded by black mist cannot have a few full meals, but compared with those ordinary humans with sallow faces and skinny muscles, they can no longer be said to be blessed by God in terms of appearance. It is simply like God kneeling down. Pour it into the elf’s mouth on the ground! The elves, both male and female, all have faces second only to those of the readers.
If the Antolian mercenary's body is as strong as a giant bear, then the elf long archer's body is as nimble as a wandering bird.
At the same time, their slender arms actually contain a power that Leon cannot understand at all. Coupled with the specially made bows and arrows of the elves, their effective attack range has completely exceeded anything in this era. An army of archers!
After the group of people and the elves passed through the narrow Bergoli Pass, Leon's vision broadened instantly.
So, after thinking for a moment, Leon turned to the commander of the Elf Longbowmen, the Elf Elder Clementi, and said: "
For now, the Elf Longbowmen will be stationed with the Lapruk Army in the southwestern highlands. By the way, Take advantage of this period of time to get used to it."
"No... no problem..."
Even though Clementi, who is one hundred and forty-four years old, has always been an elf who considers himself calm and steady, however, When he set foot on this land where there was no trace of black mist at all, he fell into a deep shock just like Elta at that time.
If the Antorians can really dispel the black fog in the entire abandoned land, then... Clementi can't even imagine it.
Today's southwest highland can be said to be the noisiest place in all of Antolia.
If we were to just talk about the level of excitement, even the Thorn Territory might be slightly inferior.
There is no way. If it were the previous life, today's Thorn Territory can be roughly regarded as the land of Gyeonggi.
There is less wanton noise and more untouchable majesty.
On the other hand, the southwest highlands...
As the first land that Leon ordered to be developed, there are salt lakes and mineral deposits in the southwest highlands.
Mining requires manpower, and drying salt also requires manpower.
The immigration of a large number of people has made most of the residents who make a living on this land are heavy manual laborers, and they have also become the refugees who are the fastest to be assimilated into the traditions of Antolia.
Drinking a little wine, chatting and spanking on weekdays is natural.
As we all know, the coming-of-age ceremony for young people from Antolia is to hunt wild beasts in the mountains and forests.
And in the southwestern highlands...
the most numerous beasts are none other than the tall, strange birds that live in the highlands.
Therefore, even the originally weak refugees, after undergoing the baptism of heavy labor and finally being able to fill their stomachs, actually showed a kind of bravery that they had never seen before.
Perhaps this is the so-called impact of the environment on people.
And if the Antorians can really open up the road from the Southwest Highlands to the Principality of Norton...
then there is no doubt that the Southwest Highlands, a land with an average altitude that is not actually very high and even has rivers running through it, will surely be It will become one of the brightest pearls in the hands of the Jimena family!
You know, the pearl of the Jimena family is a real pearl.
This is not like some unnamed empire on which the sun never sets. No matter how bad the former colony was, it was a pearl per capita anyway.
So...
whether it is to make this land shine brighter, or simply to allow the Jimena family to obtain a larger population and a wider land... to open up the mountain road leading to the Principality of
Norton, Lai Ang, it’s imperative!
