In such an important dispute over national policy, it is natural that both sides would go back and forth and reach a stalemate.
At that time, although no actual fighting broke out between the [Silver Elf Alliance] and the [Gold Elf Alliance], they were constantly trying to win over other elves who had not taken sides.
To put it bluntly, if a war really breaks out, both sides will suffer losses and neither side will be sure of victory.
Therefore, they all tried to win over more elves and avoid war by overwhelming their opponents with absolute strength.
This period is known in history as the elves' "Golden and Silver Age".
During the [Golden and Silver Age], the Silver Elf Alliance and the Gold Elf Alliance tried every possible means to prove the superiority of their ideas to the entire elf race.
The Silver Elves were the first to disclose almost all of their own advancement routes for other elven races to learn from.
The Golden Elves immediately followed suit and also opened up many methods of building war machines.
Immediately afterwards, the Golden Elf Alliance launched a financial offensive and invested heavily in other elven tribes.
Provide money, resources and talents.
It is simply like shedding one's own blood and cutting one's own flesh to help other elven tribes grow rapidly, in order to prove one's own strength and financial resources.
Upon seeing this, the Silver Elf Alliance followed suit and increased their efforts.
At that time, the Silver Elf Alliance had many powerful non-elf allies.
For example, unicorns, green dragons, Pegasus...
In addition to providing money, resources and talents, the Silver Elves also provide allies.
As long as other tribes are willing to accept non-elven allies, the Silver Elves will send experts to the tribe to help build an ecological chain suitable for the lives of those allies from scratch.
The Pegasus have relatively simple needs, and their ecological chain is easy to build. Moreover, they have excellent combat capabilities and gentle personalities, and are deeply loved by the elves.
In the [Golden and Silver Age], Pegasus was popularized in all Silver Elf Alliances!
At one point, Pegasus Knights became the standard sequence of the elven tribal army.
With Pegasus leading the way, the silver elves attracted a large number of elven tribes.
The Golden Elf Alliance became jealous and took another action, sending out its own construction craftsmen to build ports, docks, city walls and other basic facilities for other tribes.
In terms of talent reserves in this area, the Silver Elf Alliance is no match for the Gold Elf Alliance, and the situation is turned back.
…
…
At this moment, the Silver Elf Alliance and the Gold Elf Alliance were like gamblers betting against each other at a gambling table .
There was a large pile of chips on the table, and both of them had already invested a lot of them.
Once you give up, you will lose everything.
But if you win, it's winner-takes-all, with huge profits.
You say 1,000, I raise it to 3,000, you say 5,000, I raise it to 10,000!
Although no real war broke out, both sides fought bloody and deadly battles with every sword and punch.
The amazing thing is that because of the competition between the Silver Elf Alliance and the Gold Elf Alliance, more different elven races have emerged.
Wood elves, flower elves, tree shepherds, druids... many elven races have developed unique civilizations and possessed mythical troops.
For a time, the overall strength of the elves continued to expand and become increasingly powerful, leaving other races far behind.
It's like the competition between Coca-Cola and Pepsi. Both sides are spending money but neither can defeat the other. As a result, Coke's market share has reached the point where it crushes all other beverages.
The two alliances competed with each other and created a peak era for the elves!
There is not a bit of falsehood in the four words "Golden and Silver Age".
This laid a good foundation for the great power of the Elf Empire in later generations.
Of course, there are those who are willing to take sides, and there are also those who are unwilling to get involved.
At that time, the dispute between the Gold Elf Alliance and the Silver Elf Alliance was too intense and obvious, and many elves were worried that the two sides would actually go to war and affect themselves.
Therefore, many elves who wanted to remain neutral, after repeatedly rejecting the solicitation of both sides, chose to leave the elven subcontinent and find another place to live in order to prevent themselves from being accidentally injured.
They escaped to the sparsely populated main continent of Yasha, or .
The race with the giant childlike appearance was most likely one of the elf races that left the elf tribe at that time.
In fact, those elves who left were worrying too much.
At the end of the [Golden and Silver Age], both the Golden Elf Alliance and the Silver Elf Alliance had reached the point where they could no longer be pulled together.
All the elven tribes still left in the elven subcontinent have been divided up, either for gold or silver.
The result is still evenly matched.
Just when both sides had to rely on force to decide the outcome, the second Chaos invasion happened to break out in the Elf Subcontinent.
The Silver Elf Alliance and the Gold Elf Alliance, which were originally hostile to each other, had to put aside their disputes and unite to face the outside world.
So Chaos was in bad luck.
In the Chaos of the Elven Subcontinent, we were suppressed almost the entire time.
It was so tragic that the elves even thought that Chaos was nothing more than this.
This also laid the groundwork for the subsequent demise of the Elf Empire.
Half a year later, the Second Chaos Invasion ended with the Peaceful Consecration of Gods.
The Silver Elf Alliance and the Gold Elf Alliance, which had fought bloody battles for more than half a year, had no desire to fight.
So, they once again convened the [Ten Thousand Trees Alliance], announced a declaration of seeking common ground while reserving differences and common development, and announced the establishment of the Elf Empire.
In the end, a strange empire that was both extremely military and extremely pro-foreign was born.
Imagine a scene like this.
You are walking down the street and see a stranger.
The stranger reaches out to you: "Come on, let's be friends."
You were confused. Who was this person? You didn't know him at all, so you chose to refuse.
Then this stranger will turn hostile to you, and since he is very strong, he can pin you to the ground and beat you up in no time.
The worst thing is, while beating you he yelled:
"Will you be friends with me or not?"
"No!"
"You don't want to follow me? It seems like I gave you face."
Bang, bang, bang! A violent beating!
"Let me ask you again, do you want to be friends with me?"
"don't want!"
Bang, bang, bang! Another beating.
You feel so aggrieved that you think you have encountered a psychopath.
In the end, you chose to surrender.
"I'll be friends with you, okay? Stop fighting."
Then the stranger changes his expression again, puts his arm around your shoulder and smiles at you.
"That's right! It would have been great if it had been like this earlier.
I just like making friends.
Come, this is a 500-square-meter villa in the city center and a Lamborghini, I’ll give them all to you.
Are you short of food? Are you short of clothes?
If you need anything, just ask me."
This was the state of the Elf Empire at that time.
The silver elf is responsible for making friends everywhere.
If someone is unwilling to make friends with the silver elves, the gold elves will bring their troops over and beat them up until the other party is willing to make friends.
Then they started to provide money, food and policy support.
The summary is:
The Elf Empire is a severe schizophrenia patient, the kind that is beyond help.
By the way, when the golden elf was beating others up, he had a powerful weapon.
That is the Elf Empire’s infamous fleet that roams the world - the Golden Fleet.
At that time, in the entire ocean, no one except the sea people dared to challenge its edge.
Having said that, Qi Ge had already roughly guessed that the Childlike Giant should be one of the elves who escaped during the [Golden and Silver Ages].
So, how can I continue to ask questions?
Qi Ge thought for a while, and said to Tong Yan Ju:
“Hey, fellow Tongyan Ju, I don’t want to lie to you.
But I was really scared by those silver elves and gold elves.
If they really started fighting, I would be fine, but who can stand it if they keep fighting every day?"
Tongyan Ju immediately nodded vigorously in agreement and said:
"Yeah! It's so annoying. I hate those annoying things the most. They make it impossible for me to bask in the sun properly."
"I'm telling you...blah blah..."
This immediately opened up Tong Yanju's mouth. She dragged Qi Ge along and talked nonsense about the silver elf and the gold elf for half an hour.
It can be seen that there is a lot of resentment.
Qi Ge listened attentively with a smile, and agreed from time to time, which made Tong Yan Ju very happy.
Seeing that Tong Yanju had let down his guard against him, Qi Ge took the opportunity to ask:
“Fellow giant with a childlike face, what tribe of elves are you from, and why did you end up in this strange place?
Let me talk about myself first.
I am a half-elf, I got separated from my tribe and ended up here by accident."
"Half-elf?"
"Ah, a small race. There aren't many of them. It's normal that you haven't heard of them."
Of course there weren't many. At that time, half-elves hadn't even been born yet, and the human race was probably still playing in the mud in caves.
The childlike face curled up his huge mouth and said:
“Oh, that’s the same as us, there aren’t many people in our tribe.
We are the [Small Druids] who believe in Mother Goddess Yashar.
Of course, other elves generally call us [Druid Monks].
As you have just seen, we can use animal statues or dolls to transform into various animals. "
Druid Monk
Another new race that Qi Ge had never heard of.
Qi Ge's curiosity arose again!
A few days ago, the Ragai wild boar tribe was accidentally conquered by Qi Ge.
However, the Druid Monks are a highly intelligent race, and it may not be easy to subdue them.
It doesn’t matter, Qi Ge has its own way.
He asked tentatively:
"Tong Yanju, can I meet the rest of your tribe? I just got here, so I have to say hello and get to know everyone."
Tong Yanju nodded and said:
"Of course you can see them if you want. But I don't know where they are.
Our tribe advocates living like animals, likes to live alone, and rarely contacts each other even among the same tribe.
When we came here, there were 3 of us including me.
If you really want to see them, look for them in the forest.
All the white deer, owls, and bears could be them."
"Ah, this forest is so vast, if we just search blindly, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack, right?"
Qi Ge then asked:
"Don't you have any special features after you transform?"
“No features.
If it had characteristics, wouldn't it be easy to recognize?
If I get recognized, I won’t be able to live a peaceful life.”
As he was talking, Tong Yanju suddenly raised his head and said:
"We're here."
Qi Ge then looked up and saw a huge hollow tree hole on the top of the tall tree.
At the top of the tree hole, there is a simple rain shelter made of branches and leaves.
“This is quite cleverly made.”
Qi Ge turned his head and saw that Tong Yanju was standing straight for some reason, as if he was stunned.
Her mouth was slightly open and her eyes were dazed.
What happened? !
Qi Ge couldn't help but become nervous.
He quickly pushed Tongyanju gently and asked:
"Child-faced giant? Child-faced giant?"
Tong Yanju was in a trance, looked at Qi Ge in confusion, and asked:
"What's wrong?"
"Ah, you're okay. I saw you were stunned and thought something happened to you."
"oh."
Tongyan Jumbo said expressionlessly:
"I'm fine. I was just wondering how I'm going to get up there since I can't turn into an owl today."
Tongyanju: Stare~~~~
Although Tong Yanju didn't say it explicitly, Qi Ge sensed a silent reproach in the look she gave him.
You have to take responsibility for your own mistakes.
Qi Ge said very responsibly:
"That's it. It's easy. I can carry you up. I'm pretty good at climbing trees."
When Tong Yanju heard this, he immediately raised his hands high up, without any hesitation or shyness.
Seeing this, Qi Ge was also very decisive. He immediately put one arm around her back, supported her butt with the other hand, and picked her up.
"Ah~" Tongyanju shouted expressionlessly and lay directly on Qige's shoulder.
Qi Ge took advantage of the situation and pushed, carrying Tong Yan Ju on his shoulders like a sack.
"Don't move, let's go."
The advantage of the half-elf's physical flexibility was demonstrated.
Even if Qi Ge carried the giant with one hand, he could still climb onto the uneven bark with the other hand.
He kept stomping his feet on the bark and easily carried the boy into the house.
Tongyanju's room inherited the elves' usual simplicity.
A leaf hammock, a jug of water, and that's it.
It's more like a place to sleep than a home.
As soon as Tong Yanju returned to the tree hole, he dug out a large leaf from the pile of leaves in the corner.
She measured the seven pigeons with the leaves, nodded with satisfaction, and said:
“It just so happens that it’s quite suitable.
I will use this to make a bed for you, and you can sleep next to me from now on.
This way I can eat grilled food every day.”
Qi Ge didn't find it strange at all that Tong Yan Ju allowed herself to be alone with her in a room so easily.
To be honest, this is how the elves are.
As an immortal species, the elves have very few desires.
Even if couples are in love, it is basically impossible to make something happy happen without the help of alcohol.
As for the reason.
Simply put, the female elves can't open it and the male elves can't hold on.
While Tong Yanju was helping him make the bed, Qi Ge began to observe carefully in the corner of the room.
He quickly found a wall with a row of vertical lines drawn on it. This should be the place where Tong Yanju recorded the time.
“1, 2, 3, 4, 5…13, 14.
Tongyanju, you have been here for fourteen years. "
"Oh." Tong Yanju said "Oh" expressionlessly, his reaction was very flat.
Of course, this reaction is normal.
For humans, whose lifespan is no more than a hundred years, 14 years is a very long moment.
Nine years of compulsory education plus three years of high school makes up only 12 years.
14 years is enough for a first grader to finish sophomore year.
But for the elves whose lifespan is hundreds or even thousands of years, just 14 years and they are willing to give you an "oh", is already a great respect.
14 years...
Qi Ge thought about it carefully and asked, "Tong Yan Ju, when you set out, was the [Soul Guardian Statue] built?"
"It's not finished yet, but I heard it's almost done. What's the matter?"
"Nothing, just asking."
Qi Ge certainly didn't ask casually.
[The Guardian Statue of the Soul] can almost be said to be a symbol of the Elf Empire.
The collapse of the Elf Empire was determined by the destruction of the guardian statue of the soul.
The establishment of the [Guardian Statue of the Soul] announced that the confrontation between the Silver Elf Alliance and the Gold Elf Alliance had entered the final stage that was about to break out.
It was also the time when chaos broke out in the Elf Subcontinent - in the same year when the [Guardian Statue of the Soul] was built, chaos broke out in the Elf Subcontinent.
Qi Ge originally wanted to determine the specific era in which it appeared, but unfortunately, there was no qualified "time reference".
The words in the baby-faced giant mouth are too fast and totally unreliable .
For the elves, one year is fast, and ten years is fast too, the difference is not that big.
Although he was unable to figure out the exact time point, Qi Ge also determined the specific type of chaos outbreak 30 days later and his current location.
——
The second Chaos invasion was different from the first.
The first Chaos invasion was a massive sweep by Chaos concentrating all its strength.
The second chaos invasion, however, was an intermittent, multi-point outbreak.
That is the difference between going all the way in at once and going deeper and shallower.
According to the historical records that Qi Ge had read in his previous life, the Second Chaos Invasion occurred a total of five times.
Among them, there were two chaos outbreaks about six months before the Goddess of Peace was deified.
One was the outbreak of Chaos on the Elven Subcontinent.
Another eruption occurred in the Ancient Islands, but the exact time is unknown.
This is definitely not the Elf Subcontinent, so it can only be the Ancient Archipelago.
The chaos outbreak in the Ancient Archipelago is a "swarm-type" chaos monster dominated by ghost crows.
The reason why it is called "swarm type" is because this kind of chaos monster has a very obvious feature - "nesting" and "peak division".
After successfully conquering a territory in the Yasa world, the "swarm-type" chaos monsters will quickly infect the surrounding order territories into chaos zones.
Afterwards, they will build various chaos nests in the chaos zone.
The Chaos Lair will continuously produce new reinforcements for them.
"Swarming" is a group activity in which the leader of the original group of Chaos Monsters and more than half of the Chaos Monsters take part of the Chaos Nests and fly away from the original nest to choose a new home, under the conditions that there are enough Chaos Nests built by the "Swarm-type" Chaos Monsters, there is no threat from the Yasa troops around, and the Chaos Monsters have strong combat power.
The "Swarm-Type" Chaos Monster gets its name because its movements are very similar to real bees.
Relying on "nesting" and "swarming", "swarm-type" chaos monsters can continuously invade various islands in the Ancient Archipelago like leapfrogs.
The attack range of the "swarm-type" chaos monster is much larger than that of other chaos monsters.
Even if there is only one Chaos Node, Chaos can occupy a vast territory in the Yasa World.
“Everything always has its pros and cons.
'Swarm-type' Chaos Monsters also have corresponding weaknesses.
Their high diffusion and high mobility make it difficult for them to maintain the integrity of the army.
As long as you can find a type of soldier that can counter them, sometimes a single type of soldier can easily wipe out the entire swarm."
"What are you mumbling about?"
Qi Ge was in a trance and saw Tong Yanju standing in front of him, looking up at him strangely.
Seven pigeons: embarrassing
"Ah, nothing much. Just thought of something."
"It's weird." Tongyan Ju muttered, pointing at the leaves hanging in the air and said:
"The bed is ready for you. Carry me down, I want to get some sun."
Qi Ge took a look and found that his own leaf bed and Tong Yanju's leaf bed were actually connected together.
"Isn't this a bit close?"
"Will it be close?"
Tong Yanju turned around and said without emotion:
“It seems a bit close.
But if I want to separate them, I will have to dig new wood and make a place to hang the leaves.
It's so troublesome. I don't want to move.
That's it.
Anyway, I am small, so I won’t fall down even if I squeeze in.”
Ah this...
Qi Ge was speechless for a moment.
Forget it. After all, the other party is an elf. Not to mention lying together with him, even if he lies on me, nothing will happen as long as he doesn't drink alcohol or take drugs.
"Hmm... nothing should happen, right?"
For some reason, Qi Ge felt a little guilty.
…
…
In the next few days, Qi Ge and Tong Yan Ju each performed their duties and started a new and interesting life.
Qi Ge's daily life: catching deer, bears, and owls, asking those innocent little animals everywhere if they are [Druid Monks], making the peaceful forest restless.
Tongyanju's daily life: eating grass, being in a daze, basking in the sun, basking in the sun, basking in the sun, basking in the sun...
Qi Ge asked speechlessly: "Tong Yan Ju, you have been sunbathing for more than a hundred years, why do you still like it so much? Aren't you tired of it?"
Tong Yanju looked at Qi Ge strangely and replied:
"I have been sunbathing for more than a hundred years, and I still like it so much. Doesn't this just prove that I really like sunbathing?"
Seven Pigeons: ...
Damn it, what she said made so much sense that I couldn't even refute it.
But, how can I collect information if you are so lazy?
If it really doesn't work, just snatch Tongyanju's underwear and run away, and collect speed information first.
Qi Ge's eyes suddenly became sharp.
…
…
Hard work pays off. After a week of getting along, although Qi Ge has not found other [Druid Monks] yet, he has still estimated the specific attributes of [Druid Monks].
