Chapter 199 "Knife" Conditions
"High Priest Leming, our request is simple: a region where we can freely spread the faith of the God of Nature."

The elves were in the church, quietly looking at High Priest Leming.

They have given their terms.

"They still believe in the Sun God, and your scriptures strictly forbid killing fellow believers."

The elves seemed very confident in their proposal. They were the best choice if they wanted to destroy the well-organized and large-scale Crusaders.

"I can't make the decision on this kind of thing."

The right to preach was the result of an agreement between the church and the principality. Whether out of the agreement or respect for secular rights, Lemming could not agree to the elves' conditions here alone.

Although this condition is not bad for Laming.

In this duchy, the territories under the rule of the nobles recently appointed by Lannia were still normal, and the Sun God Cult did not need to spend too much energy on them. However, the territories of the nobles who surrendered from the original Wind Whisper Kingdom were in worse condition than the others.

If the Sun God Cult wants to spread its religion, it must at least ensure that those people have enough food to eat, so that they have the strength to come to the church and pray at sunrise and sunset every day.

This alone slowed down the progress of the Sun God Cult. According to Laming's estimation, it would take at least 20 to 30 years for them to truly spread the faith in the Sun God throughout the principality.

In those places they have not yet set foot in, the original belief in the god of nature is still spreading naturally among the people. They use something that does not belong to them now to exchange for benefits that are within their reach, and the thing they give away is not heavy in itself.

For a normal high priest, this choice is obvious.

"Then please find someone who can make the decision."

The elves in front of him obviously misunderstood what Leiming meant. After all, they were far away from humans and had no clear understanding of these human rules.

"This is the agreement between me and the kingdom. If it needs to be changed due to your reasons, the three parties will have to renegotiate the content of the agreement and formulate a new agreement."

The elves looked at each other. This was not consistent with their understanding of the situation. Many of them still had memories of thousands of years ago. The last time they negotiated with the priests of the God of Death, the undead believed in, it was not that troublesome. As long as the priests gave instructions on behalf of the gods, the vampires quickly withdrew from the territory around the forest, allowing the elves to spread the belief in the God of Nature in the surrounding areas.

“We understand how long this is going to take.”

The rules of each new civilization were different, which taught the elves to adapt to local customs, and they quickly decided to abide by the rules of this generation of civilization.

Anyway, for the elves, these rules only need to be followed three or four times. They don’t need to understand the logic behind these rules. Anyway, it won’t be long before the civilization that created these rules will become a short record in the history of the elves.

"Prince Morarichi, who is in charge of this principality, is now being exterminated..."

Lei Ming suddenly realized something and hesitated.

"No, we know he is suppressing the followers of the God of Nature."

Although the elves do not pay much attention to the outside world, they are well-informed about the news around their own forest.

The forests in the principality all have underground tree root networks, and those natural creations will inform the elves through that network. They naturally know that the prince has left the capital of the principality. He personally led the troops to encircle and suppress the resistance led by Lisabel.

They don't care about it.

Lysabel and her companions are just one of the elves' plans. When the principality and the church are completely unable to negotiate and communicate, they will fully support Lysabel's resistance, forcibly control a territory, and maintain the belief in the god of nature outside the elves' forest.

However, it now appears likely that they will be able to achieve their goals through negotiations.

Although the elves have the ability to fight and are always ready to fight, they are not battle maniacs. If the problem can be resolved through negotiation, they are unwilling to start a war.

After all, every elf is an important resource to maintain the existence of their civilization, and a chaotic battlefield will inevitably lead to a further decrease in the already scarce elf population. This is what the elves are trying their best to avoid.

"I will inform Prince Morari of the situation, but I cannot guarantee that he will come to negotiate."

The elves did not say much. After Lemming raised his hand to signal them to leave, they followed the church servants to the room arranged for them by the church.

"Ah."

Moralich sneezed in the mountains.

"Sir, are you okay?"

The adjutant put a coat on him. The temperature difference in the mountains is quite large. If Morarichi gets sick, it will not be good news for the entire kingdom.

"I am fine."

As a mage, although his level was not high, Moralichi could still have a basic perception of his body through the flow of magic. But he still took the coat from the adjutant and put it on.

Don't reject the kindness of your loyal subordinates.

Mora Ridge knows this well.

"How's the search going today?"

After many experiments, they came to the conclusion that the monsters deep in the mountains would not give any special treatment just because they were believers of the God of Nature. Every experimental subject that entered the depths of the mountains received the same treatment, which was to be torn into pieces by the monsters.

It was obvious that the resisters could not pass through the territory of these bloodthirsty monsters without experiencing any fighting.

"We followed some recent traces, but they turned out to be abandoned camps."

Morari was absolutely certain that the resistance fighters were in this mountain area. He even occasionally felt as if they were spying on him not far away.

"These are traces they left deliberately to mislead us."

Morari roughly understood the purpose of the resistance fighters, and used a large number of so-called resistance fighters' traces to make the Principality's troops run around in a hurry, so as to cover up their real hiding place.

"Their current location needs to be hidden by diverting our attention, which means they are most likely not far from us, or even nearby."

Morarichi recalled the feeling of being spied on.

"Right around us, is there any suitable place that can hide thousands of people?"

Morari felt that he was about to grasp something, he was very close to the correct answer.

"My lord, a letter from Her Majesty Lannia."

The voice of the messenger outside interrupted Moralichi's thoughts. He shook his head, and the seemingly ambiguous aura flew away. And it seemed that it would not come back in the short term.

"come in."

He didn't bother to feel upset about it, and straightened his collar, ready to accept his king's orders.
