sunny,
Birds are singing and flowers are fragrant!
"Guard the natural beauty bestowed by the Forest Goddess, and never cause the consequences of human light desecrating living beings!"
"If you don't believe in the forest, how can you be worthy of the elves? If you are unfair to life, how can you get life?"
…
Just like the wake-up bell in the morning, when the first elf on the street shouted the first demonstration slogan at the top of his lungs, countless elves came from the remaining houses and tree houses, as if they were coming to Beijing to take the exam. Candidates, like a school of carps leaping over a dragon's gate, kept coming from alleys and branch roads. After a while, the bumpy streets became extremely crowded.
These elves may have originally been masters of the blacksmith shop, bards on the road, regulars in the tavern, adventurers in the forest, and craftsmen in small workshops. At this moment, they are gathered here. Whether it is a large number of unarmed elves, or a small group of elves with short crossbows, short bows, or even offensive alchemy potions hidden in their arms, they have only one purpose, and that is to ask the city lord to expel all those who believe in the Illuminati Cult. The elf!
"Residents of Red Pine City, please remain calm and restrained, and disperse in an orderly manner. If anyone approaches again, they will be punished according to the policy!"
On the other side, the city defenders were already in full formation: three griffons were hovering at low altitude, a row of white tigers and gray wolves were in front, and five unicorns were standing behind. The elves belonging to the city defenders were The hunters and druids also held the weapons in their hands tightly, ready to support at any time.
This is already all the troops of the city defenders! The fighting on the front line is tense. The main troops originally stationed in Red Pine City have been transported to the front line. The only remaining defenders have a decisive gap with the elite troops in terms of quality and experience!
Of course, even if the strength is so compromised and the opponent is a civilian, the defenders will not allow fatal attacks under any circumstances——
The gryphon had already smoothed its claws, the white tiger and gray wolf had put soft sheaths on their feet before going into battle, the unicorn's horns were wrapped with several layers of gelatin padding, and the elf hunter even replaced the arrows with blood grooves. Spherical, blunt arrows that druids were ordered to only summon swarms to disrupt attacks.
All the good intentions are to minimize casualties. After all, there may be their relatives and friends among the protesting crowd!
On the one hand, it is just to express protest,
The other side is just to maintain order,
Everyone understands this truth.
but……
The moment the two streams of people collided, conflicts and battles became inevitable, from the initial pulling and pushing, to the collision of sticks and arrows, to the throwing of despair smoke bottles and demonic fire from behind. From the prelude to the climax, it was like there was a conductor. In every demonstration, he was conducting the same band and playing the same movement!
As for the so-called calmness and restraint, it has become a big joke!
…
City Hall, City Lord's Office.
"Today is also a day of peace! Do you think so, Kate Lauer?"
After putting down the telescope in his hand, City Lord White expressed this emotion to his butler. There was no trace of worry in his eyes, but instead there was a sense of joy of a good harvest.
"Yes...sir."
The butler named Kate Lauer replied against her will. From an angle that Lord White could not see, the butler clenched her fists behind her back tightly, but did not dare to do any other inappropriate behavior.
"Don't worry, my dear butler. This city hall has been reinforced layer by layer, with countless layers of soundproof barriers and a basement for emergency evacuation. Those unscrupulous people can't break in!"
"Thank you for your concern, sir!"
Lord White soon noticed the tense facial muscles of the butler. He naturally thought it was because the butler was afraid of the rioting people, so Lord White couldn't help being complacent again and showed off the city hall. safety performance.
"By the way, Kate, why didn't I see my financial officer Anthony today? Listening to him recite the financial revenue every morning is the most refreshing thing for me!"
"Lord Anthony was not at home this morning, and their servants are also looking for traces of him."
"What, why didn't you tell me about such an important thing earlier! You stupid half-elf, why are you still here? Send your servants to look for him immediately. If you can't find Anthony, they won't be able to get paid this year!"
…
Just when City Lord White was furious, the sound of gold and iron clashing came from outside the office door. Before City Lord White could react, the door of the office had been kicked open heavily!
"Hey, Lord White, it's been a long time since I sent you greetings. I heard that you are looking for someone, didn't I send the person over now?"
The first person to come in from the damaged gate was no one else, but the Finance Officer of Red Pine City, Anthony, who was thrown at the feet of Lord White like a bundle of pork and tied up.
"Elder George, long-lost greetings, what do you mean?"
"As you can see, it doesn't mean anything else, it just means this!"
"You're not interesting enough!"
"Hey, this is just a trivial matter! What happens next is more interesting!"
…
As George said, breaking into the city hall is only the first step, and George's chessboard has just been unfolded:
"Hoke, come out and testify!"
Amidst George's scolding, an extremely ugly-looking elf stood up tremblingly. He was the leader of the Thieves Guild Red Pine City, Hawke, who was captured alive by George!
Hawke looked at the livid City Lord White in front of him, and then at the calm-looking George behind him. He swallowed, and finally took out the account book in his arms, like a stuck repeater, and read intermittently. Get up:
…

"On the 27th, replenish 20 boxes of demon fire, 25 short crossbows, total sales of 1,125 gold coins, 30% of the secret toll toll of 340 gold coins, buyer's list..."
