Chapter 719 720. The Earl’s thoughts
The next morning
The eight magic airships rose neatly into the wind flow layer, and followed the information provided by the Silver Pegasus Knights, chasing towards the northwest of Queen's Island.
Currently, two groups of Silver Pegasus knights are following the fleeing thirty-plus three-masted sailing ships, constantly conducting air attacks on these gray dwarf bandits.
Roy led eight magic airships to catch up, not only to provide support to the Silver Pegasus Knights, but most importantly, Roy was interested in the more than thirty three-masted sailing ships in the hands of the gray dwarf bandits.
The fire on the Queen's Island Port Terminal has not been extinguished yet, and the entire Queen's Island Port Terminal has been reduced to ruins.
The 17th Silver Pegasus Legion also lost a large number of medium-sized sailing ships. Currently, the gray dwarf bandit can only be pursued at high altitude.
In fact, the Silver Pegasus knights cannot fly in the sky forever...
Silver Pegasus needs to find an island to rest every once in a while, but the vast sea is not full of islands. When the Silver Pegasus knights are looking for islands to rest, it is easy to chase the fleet of Gray Dwarf bandits.
Roy led eight magic airships to catch up this time in order to provide a resting platform for the two Silver Pegasus Knights.
And Roy's purpose is also very clear. He is interested in the three-masted sailing ships of the Gray Dwarf bandits, and wants to add a few magic airships to his fleet...
……
Watching the magic airship slowly take off...
For a moment, Earl Swinburne was tempted and wanted to transform two magic airships.
The golden beach of Queen's Island has now been turned into ruins, and a large number of Silver Moon Elf warriors are cleaning the battlefield on the beach.
If the corpses of those gray dwarves who died in battle are not disposed of in time, the entire Queen's Island will be filled with the smell of rotting corpses, and various infectious diseases may accompany it.
Some gray dwarf bandits were directly burned to ashes by the fire, and some rotting corpses soaked in the seawater needed to be dragged together and buried in pits dug directly near the beach.
In addition to the gray dwarf corpses that needed to be buried, the biggest problem before Earl Swinburne was what to do with the 35,000 gray dwarf prisoners of war on the island.
Even if such a large number of gray dwarf prisoners of war were reduced to half, the Parram Island Prison would not be able to accommodate them.
It was impossible for Earl Swinburne to put the gray dwarf bandits back. He thought that maybe the mines on the Pagisto Plateau could digest some gray dwarf prisoners of war.
Count Macaulay came over with a group of Silver Moon Elf officers. Most of the officers stood at the door of the terrace. Only Count Macaulay walked into the large terrace alone and stood side by side with Count Swinburne.
This time Queen's Island won a great victory. The main turning point was that Roy's eight magic airships suddenly rushed down and burned the gray dwarf bandit fleet.
In addition, the magic airship participated in the encirclement and annihilation battle at the port terminal. They suppressed the gray dwarf bandits who landed at the port terminal in the sky and blocked them on the port terminal...
If those gray dwarf bandits do not surrender, it may not take long before they and the entire port dock will be reduced to ashes.
Earl Macaulay said straight to the point:
"Currently, the total population of mixed-blood elves in the Partington plane has exceeded one million, and the mine guard group is also constantly expanding. This group of mixed-blood elven guards have transformed into a well-equipped elven guard army. Ablansa, if One day, this half-blood elven guard army will fight for the half-blood elves. Once they become our enemies, what should we do?”
Earl Swinburne had long known that many Silver Moon Elf officers in the legion had such concerns.
He turned around and glanced at Earl Macaulay before saying steadily:
"The Emerald Dragon created high elves, silver moon elves, dark moon elves, and wood elves. It gave the elves a number of inalienable rights, including the right to life, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness. I think... mixed-blood elves and half-elves should also have these rights.”
One sentence made Count Macaulay a bit dumbfounded.
Seeing that Earl Macaulay did not want to speak, Earl Swinburne continued to say to him:
"Mixed-blood elves have a long history. Since the elves of the three tribes intermarried with each other thousands of years ago, mixed-blood elves have been born in the Elf Continent. Over the years, there has been widespread discrimination and enslavement of mixed-blood elves in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom. This kind of thing It is not conducive to the development of the elf world.”
"And there are many nobles among us who turn a blind eye to this in order to enjoy a luxurious life. We even think that as long as we can continue to maintain this unequal social relationship, the lives of the Silver Moon Elf in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom will become easier and easier. ...This is obviously a fallacy.”
"The original riot in the Partington plane was actually a situation derived from various conflicts that had been accumulated for a long time."
Earl Swinburne lowered his voice,
"If these conflicts cannot be resolved in time, greater conflicts may occur."
He put one hand around the shoulder of his old friend Earl Macaulay and whispered to him:
"In fact, a long time ago, His Majesty James Ansel discovered something. The fertility of mixed-blood elves is ten times that of Silver Moon elves, and they have no pressure to choose a mate. When they choose a mate, , you can choose a mixed-blood elf, or you can choose a dark moon elf, a silver moon elf, or a wood elf. No matter what you choose, you will be born a mixed-blood elf!”
"In the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom, mixed-blood elves almost work at the lowest level, such as night watchmen, gravediggers, porters, various low-level craftsmen, traders, etc., and even very few attendants. It can be said that the Silver Moon Elf can survive Living a comfortable life like this now, where you can live at home and rely on various subsidies without even having to work, is not a good thing for the Silver Moon elves.”
"There are now almost 30 million Silver Moon elves in the Elf Continent, and the number of mixed-blood elves in various places is about 7 million..."
"Due to fertility issues, the population of Silver Moon elves is currently decreasing year by year, while the population of mixed-blood elves is increasing year by year."
"Even though some Silver Moon Elf nobles continue to squeeze the mixed-blood elves and keep their lives at the subsistence level. They need to work hard to survive, but the population of mixed-blood elves continues to surge. In the past ten years, there have been even more small Explosive trend.”
"His Majesty James Ansel and the sages of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom have initially calculated that if things continue like this, it may not take two hundred years for the population of mixed-blood elves in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom to be equal to that of the Silver Moon Elf. , Macaulay, have you ever thought about what that Silver Moon Elf Kingdom would look like?”
Lord Swinburne's eyes fell on Lord Macaulay's face.
"There will be more and more mixed-blood elves, but there will be fewer and fewer Silver Moon elves..." Count Macaulay's face looked a little ugly. This was the first time he heard Count Swinburne talk about His Majesty Ansel's views on mixed-blood elves. Elf attitude.
Earl Swinburne nodded,
"Yes, we, the Silver Moon Elf clan, will slowly become the weaker side, and the growing number of mixed-blood elves will slowly enter the management of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom, and even become the leaders of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom. At that time, Conflicts in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom will break out more violently.”
"Mixed-blood elves will actively fight for higher rights, just like the privileges that the Silver Moon elves now have. When they come to power, the mixed-blood elves will also fight for the mixed-blood elves..."
"Perhaps at that time, intermarriage between Silver Moon elves and mixed-blood elves will become a common thing. Perhaps half of the members of the Elf Elders Council in a city are mixed-blood elven elders. Note, I am talking about the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom. ”
"At that time, there will definitely be greater conflicts between the Silver Moon elves and the mixed-blood elves for certain interests. When the conflicts become the most extreme, there will be racial divisions, just like the Silver Moon elves, the Dark Moon elves, the Wooden elves, The way the elves divided the elven continent into three parts..."
"You also know that the Elf Continent is so big. The Evernight Forest where the Dark Moon Elves live in the north will definitely not accept mixed-blood elves. How much land can the World Tree of Darnassus in the south give to the mixed-blood elves? In the end, the ones who will suffer are not We, the Silver Moon elves, might be able to give half of the kingdom to the mixed-blood elves by then, perhaps because of our population.”
Speaking of the land of the Elf Continent, this is the main plane of the Elf World. How could the territory of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom be given away so easily...
Earl Swinburne drew a very clear mark on the map with his fingernails, dividing the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom into two. ,
At this time, Earl Macaulay's face had turned livid. Although he had not yet understood Earl Swinburne's methods, he clearly felt that His Majesty James Ansel was considering the future of the entire Silver Moon Elf Kingdom. future.
"Ablansa, I'm a little confused..." Lord Macaulay said to Lord Swinburne.
"Since you also know that the mixed-blood elves are such a big threat to us Silver Moon elves, why do other Silver Moon Elf nobles suppress the mixed-blood elves? Instead, you have been speaking for them, even given them a lot of help, and even supported Roy in Pa The first mixed-blood elf city was established in the Tinton plane, so that now nearly ten thousand mixed-blood elves pour into the Tinton plane every day..."
Hearing what Earl Macaulay said, Earl Swinburne smiled.
Earl Macaulay's pupils shrank at this time, and he suddenly thought of Earl Swinburne's intention.
"Do you want to use the Partington plane to create a huge siphon effect and wash out all the mixed-blood elves in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom?"
Earl Swinburne raised his eyebrows and was a little dissatisfied with Earl Macaulay's wording. He corrected:
"It can't be said to be washed out. I just want the mixed-blood elves to recognize that the Partington plane is their world, so that they can consciously withdraw from the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom, and at least they will not compete with us for land on the Elf Continent in the future."< br>
"Actually, life in the Partington plane is quite good. The forest resources there are very abundant, and there is also a sea in the south..."
"We still have a lot of planes like Partington. Giving a plane to the mixed-blood elves may not be a loss for us. You see, there is a steady flow of transportation from the Partington plane. The magic herbs and magic metal ingots that come out are the best feedback for us.”
After Earl Swinburne finished speaking, his eyes passed from the direction of the port...
Earl Macaulay asked curiously: "Did you and His Majesty Ansel talk about this when you met?"
"We've been talking a lot lately..."
replied Lord Swinburne.
"I heard that the Dark Legion has been discovered in the Partington plane. Once the Dark Legion takes over the Partington plane in the future, will they use the Partington plane as a springboard to attack the Elf Continent in the main plane?" McCaw Earl Lee couldn't help but asked worriedly.
Lord Swinburne raised his chin and glanced at Lord Macaulay with his peripheral vision, but did not answer his question.
Earl Macaulay was stunned for a moment, and then quickly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
……
Roy led the magic airship to stay in the wind layer for less than an hour. The lookouts on the magic airship discovered the Silver Pegasus Knights under the clouds.
Roy immediately ordered the magic airship to descend quickly. After leaving the wind layer, the magic airship fell steadily from above the clouds and immediately appeared above the gray dwarf robbers' fleeing fleet.
More than thirty three-masted sailing ships were advancing rapidly on the sea, and the Silver Pegasus knights were flying around the gray dwarf fleet.
Since there were several ballistae on the three-masted sailboat, the Silver Pegasus knights actually did not dare to fly too low.
All the investment weapons carried by the Silver Pegasus knights have been exhausted, and these Silver Pegasus knights have been chasing for a day and a night, and they have long been over-equipped. At present, they only rely on the Silver Pegasus to glide in the sky.
As soon as the fleet appeared, Roy asked the mixed elf guard warriors to clear the deck of the magic airship, and summoned the Silver Pegasus knights flying in the sky so that they could land on the deck to rest.
The leaders of the two Silver Pegasus knights were not polite, and immediately landed on the magic airship with the exhausted Silver Pegasus knights.
As a result, the magic airship was severely overloaded. The twelve floating devices were fully activated, but they could not stop the magic airship from falling.
Seeing the Silver Pegasus knights landing on the deck, Roy took the initiative to greet them and ordered the crew to fetch some apples and breadfruit from the warehouse so that the Silver Pegasus knights could fill their stomachs and then take a rest.
Seeing Roy's enthusiasm, the two leaders of the Silver Pegasus Knights thanked Roy repeatedly.
Roy stood on the deck and said kindly to the two leaders of the Silver Pegasus Knights:
"My Lord Earl sent me to catch up, just to provide you with a place to rest and to provide you with supplies."
Sure enough, the mixed-blood elf crewmen on the ship moved boxes of fruit from the cabin, and then moved some heavy wooden boxes from the bottom hold of the magic airship. Roy personally stepped forward and opened the lids of these heavy wooden boxes, and there were shocking things inside. There are short flying spears of excellent quality.
The Silver Pegasus knights attacked the gray dwarf three-masted sailing ship in the sky, almost relying on this kind of magic short flying spear. Ordinary feather arrows could not penetrate the full-covering dwarf chain armor and barrel helmets of the gray dwarf bandits.
