"Clan Chief Allen, congratulations!"
In Kolima Village, a settlement of the dark elves, Allen's eyes examining the surrounding environment were interrupted by the warm welcome of Ted's guardian.
"Congratulations for what?"
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Allen always felt that the population of Kolima Village seemed to have increased a lot compared to the last time he visited.
It seems that it is necessary to remind Trik and Facardo to ask them to pay more attention to the development of Corima Village. He originally thought that the opponent's rebel army was a rootless force in the wilderness. Coupled with the long life span and low fertility rate of drow and elves, Allen did not think that the opponent had the strength to threaten his tribe, especially The Green Field Tribe after annexing Ajinaga.
"Of course, congratulations to Patriarch Allen for officially joining the Mansha Alliance, and for adding a new legendary strongman to your tribe!!"
A soft and warm female tone came from behind Allen. When Allen turned his head, he saw a charming and sacred picture of a legendary priest wearing a light and slightly transparent dress. Lydia, of course, is more eye-catching with her smooth and brilliant silver-gray hair.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect you, Lady Lydia, to be so well-informed!!"
Allen's pupils narrowed, but his face showed pride.
Although they did not deliberately conceal the existence of Kerr, and on the way home, Allen and the others wasted a lot of time, allowing enough time for the news about the Green Field Tribe and Kerr to spread, but with Rubble Due to the geographical environment of the beach, unless they deliberately collect intelligence from the outside world, the dark elves in front of them should not know this information.
"I wonder if you guys, Commander Ted, have thought carefully about the last proposal?"
While chatting, Ted and Lydia welcomed Allen to the stone building where Ted's office was. Allen, who had just sat down, went straight to the topic.
"Chief Allen, Lydia and I have discussed your proposal and we are willing to join in your plan."
When Allen appeared in the village again, Ted already knew the other person's true intention, so he did not hesitate when asked. After making eye contact with Lydia, Ted calmly asked came the reply.
"However, there are not many adult elves in our village, and there are not many slaves. I am afraid that the number of elves involved in the construction will not be too many. In addition, we have recently built a village on the gravel beach, and most of the resources have been invested in it. During the construction of the village, there are no decent resources available to support the construction of trade roads."
"...Hahaha, what does that matter? We are all neighbors now. Helping each other is the way to get along in the long run!"
Allen's smile stagnated slightly, then returned to normal, and responded cheerfully.
"After all, our two races have common allies. Only by understanding each other and cooperating deeply with each other can we effectively avoid many unnecessary disputes and conflicts."
"You two, do you think I am right?"
Allen had a harmless expression on his face, but his words still had a deeper meaning in the ears of the two legends Ted and Lydia.
"Thank you, Chief Allen, for your understanding!!"
Ted looked calm and nodded slightly to show his kindness to Allen.
"So, are you two interested in joining the Ring of Thorns group?"
Allen's ideas are always beyond the expectations of the two dark elves, Ted and Lydia. When Allen suddenly extended an olive branch again, there was not much relief in their eyes, but in a short time, Be a little vigilant.
What kind of organization the Ring of Thorns is is not unfamiliar to Ted and Lydia. Now that they have settled in the northern wilderness, they cannot ignore the surrounding environment and situation, and they will inevitably collect information about the Ring of Thorns. All kinds of information.
It is precisely because they understand the characteristics of the Ring of Thorns organization that the two legendary leaders Ted and Lydia can't figure out the thoughts of Allen, the bugbear, and his purpose.
"This... Chief Allen is probably joking. The population of our Korima Village is only a few thousand, and it is just a small tribe in the wilderness. And among the members of the Ring of Thorns, which tribe has a population that does not exceed tens of thousands? A medium-sized tribe, coupled with our former identity as dark elves, I am afraid that the leaders of the Ring of Thorns will not agree to our joining."
The charming Lydia does not need too many movements, she naturally exudes a soft and greasy aura, which makes people think again and again. Coupled with this soft tone that seduces the heart and soul, it always makes people feel all kinds of emotions.
"Why don't you agree?"
Allen asked back: "The biggest enemy in the northern wilderness is the drow army that blocks the exit at the northern foot of the Cator Mountains."
"Whether it's the tribes in our wilderness or the group of Zhuo... dark elves led by the two leaders, everyone has a common enemy, and the strength of this enemy is not something that any party can fight alone, right? "
When Allen suddenly raised the question of drow, Lydia and Ted's pupils shrank again, and they couldn't help but glance at each other sideways.
"Since we all have a common enemy, then we have a basis for cooperation. I believe that the leaders of the Ring of Thorns will not stop you two from joining!!"
"... Chief Allen, thank you for your kindness, but I think our village needs some time to think about it. Perhaps, next time we visit you in person, we can give you the answer you want."
In the end, Ted politely declined Allen's invitation, with a lot of embarrassment on his face.
"Well, I look forward to your visit. I welcome the two envoys to Namur Fortress."
Allen shrugged, showing no emotional change due to the other party's rejection.
"However, I have to let you two know in advance that the drow and our Ring of Thorns have reached an armistice agreement. They will probably not have any friction with our Ring of Thorns in the short term."
"So, if you want to go out, especially when going to the north of the mountains, try to be careful."
"Compared to us wilderness natives, I'm afraid those drow hate you more!!"
"...Thank you, Chief Allen, for informing us about this!!"
Suddenly, Lydia's gentle tone rose a little higher, with a touch of indifference, and she responded to Alan before Ted.
"If there's nothing else, then we won't delay Patriarch Allen on his way!!"
"Haha, thank you for your hospitality!"
Faced with the sudden silence, Allen was already prepared. He smiled slightly and did not linger. He stood up and walked out of the village without any hesitation.
After sending Allen to the outside of the village, watching his retreating back, Ted and Lydia's eyes gradually became serious. The other party's final words, which seemed like a reminder, were more of an invisible threat, forcing Ted and the others to join the Ring of Thorns organization.
"What do you think he's up to?"
Ted retracted his distant gaze and turned to ask Lydia beside him.
"Who knows!!"
Lydia's eyebrows were already wrinkled, and all kinds of information were converging in her mind, trying to lift the fog in front of her.
"It seems that I have to go to the north again to see if I can collect the next plan of those drow."
"Then I will also send someone to inform the people of the Oak Church and ask them to help collect some information about the members of the Ring of Thorns."
"Um……"
