Chapter 482 139. Conquer them with Free City
The tense atmosphere was temporarily relieved by Annan's invitation.
The bark elf looked at Serana, and the half-man deer nodded to him.
"This place will be different from all the human city-states you understand..." the tree man druid encouraged.
"Then let me see what makes Treebeard willing to rebel against the Druids..." The bark elf's cold gaze fell on Annan: "...Annan Potter, lead the way. ”
"Follow me, and just call me Annan."
The druids gathered around Annan, and the Druid Avengers followed.
"Mr. Shuren, are you okay?" Annan asked proactively.
Treebeard smiled like an old man: "We settled in the Third Warcraft Mountain Range, where there is no threat from ratmen, and no humans will run deep into the forest. Where are you guys?"
"It was quite difficult at the beginning... We were forced to flee the North. Hundreds of thousands of people from Star Moon Bay and Breeze City were all evacuated after they were brought to Middle-earth, leaving only more than 10,000 people to follow. We. Olmedo led them to buy the Typhoon Shelter Town in the Third Warcraft Forest Mountains, and I came to the Tatun Empire to seek a fiefdom..."
Annan told Treebeard what had happened in the past few months, and the Druid Avengers also heard it.
“Wow, I didn’t even know that.” “Is your city-state actually a floating city? Then why not rise up?”
If there are envoys around, Annan will say The floating city is just a way to escape danger, and becoming a ground city is more profitable. If he were surrounded by his own people, Annan would tell the truth: The range of the arcane energy core is too small. When can I make a city the size of a city float, I will do it again. But this is a group of druids, and Annan said: "The earth under our feet gave birth to us, and we should not plunder her flesh and blood... How I hope that the Free City will never need to rise..."
On the contrary The half-man deer was still looking at Annan with a smile that seemed to know everything... The lie detection test should be over.
“So you enslave the undead?”
The bark elf whispered coldly, and the Druid Avengers had already seen the skeleton ratman busy in the wheat field.
"Their breath of death has been dispelled, and now they are just a group of moving bones that have been ground into powder and will nourish the earth." Annan said rightfully: "We have brought death and withering away. The skeleton has become a gardener who protects life and maintains nature. Isn’t this valuable?”
As much as the tree man druids admire it, the bark elves hate it...
"You have destroyed nature!"
The bark elves are obviously not good at debating, and Annan, who walks among noble ladies, has already developed his speaking skills: "I have no intention of criticizing your teachings, but... what is Natural? ”
"Everything returns to its original state."
"All life follows the rules given to itself by this world... right?"
The bark elf felt that something was wrong, but Annan's words themselves There is nothing wrong: "Yes..."
"So I think it is natural for sheep to eat grass, it is natural for wild beasts to eat sheep, and it is also natural for us to eat wild beasts and sheep... We cut wood to build houses, use firewood to heat, and farm. Harvest to feed ourselves... We are all following the laws of this world. We have never set fire to mountains or killed other lives to satisfy our selfish desires..."
But it's useless, just like they can't convince Annan , Annan couldn't convince them either.
Druid Avengers are all beings who have experienced drastic changes and changed their minds. Their only thought is revenge: revenge on those who destroy nature and balance, and make those who harm nature pay the price.
All Annan can do is plant a seed:
"Mr. Treebeard taught me a lot, such as the druid understanding of nature: it is grand, invisible, permanent and silent. Virtue Rui follows the laws and rhythms of nature and does not do things that go against nature. They understand nature as they understand themselves... So I don't hate you... On the contrary, I can understand you."
Bark. The elf remained silent.
“Our home was destroyed by the rat people, and your nature was destroyed. In the flames of revenge, we will all feel lonely and helpless. We can still build new homes, but for revenge, you are Gradually losing the connection with nature that you were meant to have as druids...you find yourself becoming less and less like yourself and more and more like those you hate in your pursuit of vengeance. "If this passage were a seed, then it would need sunlight, water and soil for it to germinate.
Several blue dragons appeared in the sky at the right moment
Annan waved to the blue dragons. Ilimoyasi ignored him, but the three young dragons following behind made childish roars.
"Blue dragon..."
Annan's words were still echoing in their hearts, and they began to think that the tree man druid might be right...here and all the human city-states they understood different.
Then, after walking along a neat road to this city-state with an elven style and plants planted on the roadside, they saw the old orc again.
The old orc looked at the orc druid, and the orc druid looked at the old orc.
“There are still orcs in your city-state?”
The bark elf looked at the old orc: there were no traces of shackles or slavery, the brown skin that had lost its elasticity because of age was drooping, and there were only scars from the past. ...
"Go over." The bark elf said.
The orc druid nodded calmly and came to the old orc.
“We want to create a city-state where all races can live together peacefully.”
Annan, who was originally going to lead the Druid Avengers to see the saplings, changed his mind and came to the blacksmith shop. .
The goblin Dorai is directing a group of workers to lift the spinning machine onto the cart.
"Lord Annan..." Dorai, the goblin in a white robe, looked behind Annan.
"Some guests are here, go call Bronzebeard."
Goblin Dorai ran in, and soon Soruman Bronzebeard complained: "Do you know how busy I am... ...Druids? Are you new?"
"Ahem...they are Druid Avengers, our guests."
The bark elf looked at Dorai. He looked at Bronzebeard again: "Dwarves and goblins?"
This is even more difficult for the Druid Avengers to understand than seeing elves and orcs... The vengeful dwarves and goblins are almost feuding, and they are here. Live in peace.
The Druid Avengers didn't know the relationship between Soruman Bronzebeard and that organization, and thought it was Annan's doing.
Next, Annan asked Della and Centaur to appear again, and finally came to the foot of the forest mountains, looking at the seemingly endless saplings.
“So we have no irresolvable contradictions.”
At this time, the Druid Avengers changed their view of Annan.
Gema raised her head proudly, and the nimble tail of the centaur next to her was like a ball of fluff. The impulse that brought Annan was stronger than that of Gema's chestnut head.
