Li Huailin's troops occupied the entire Moonlight Valley and did not encounter any decent resistance. After all, the boss of the Druids, Tesmog Sharp Wind, had taken the lead to express his stance. Although the rest of the Druids felt aggrieved, they had no other choice but to kneel.
Of course, not all the Druids accepted this result. There were still some who chose to die standing. Of course, Li Huailin did not hesitate to fulfill their wishes and let them die standing. In order to show the magnanimity of these people, Li Huailin told them to keep standing and not fall. The specific method was to find a rope and hang them on a tree. They would definitely not fall. This was really for their own good.
Li Huailin was not polite to the rest of the Druids who had surrendered. No matter what status they had, they were all stripped naked and stuffed into the cages. According to Li Huailin, captives should act like captives. Was he supposed to treat them to a feast? Li Huailin didn't care.
"Your Majesty, the captives have been counted." When Li Huailin was sitting in the conference room of the Moonlight Valley and looking at the situation in the valley, Legg came over with a report.
"Oh, speak," Li Huailin said plainly.
"We captured a total of 1,041 captives, killed 170 rebels, injured 302 soldiers, and killed 2 in battle," Legg replied.
These Druids were really powerful. A few random guys could casually resist and injure more than 300 people. To be honest, if they really fought seriously, Li Huailin felt that it was a bit doubtful if his troops could win. However, the biggest factor of victory or defeat between the two sides was not the difference in troops, but the cost of the war.
Simply put, if the two sides really fought, and all of Li Huailin's men died, it would only be the destruction of one army. How would it affect Li Huailin? In fact, it wouldn't affect anything at all. Li Huailin could easily gather another army. On the other hand, for the Druids, if they lost, their entire clan would be wiped out. The burden they had to bear was completely different. Therefore, Li Huailin was not afraid of this kind of war at all. If you want to fight, I will accompany you. Can you afford to play?
It was obvious that these Druids couldn't afford to play. Even if they had the strength to fight, they still chose to surrender in the end. Li Huailin was not surprised by this result.
"Go get the leader of the Druids." Li Huailin waved his hand.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Legg accepted the order and immediately retreated.
After waiting for a while, Legg returned with a few soldiers. The soldiers were holding a person in their hands. Of course, this person was the leader of the Druids, Tesmog Sharp Wind. Of course, Tesmog's situation was much worse than before. The soldiers on Li Huailin's side completely treated them as prisoners of war. Li Huailin also said that it was the same no matter who the other party was. Therefore, Tesmog was directly stripped and thrown into a cage. Of course, when he came to see Li Huailin, the soldiers still made him wear a simple broken cloak. Otherwise, it would be too ugly.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Tesmog saw Li Huailin and very naturally bowed. The way he looked at Li Huailin also changed a lot.
Yes, the situation now was different from before. Before, both sides were still enemies. Of course, the favorability of these Druids would not change. But now that Li Huailin had captured all the Druids, the war … was over. These Druids were now prisoners of war. In other words, they were on Li Huailin's side. Of course, as soon as the hostile state was lifted, the favorability of these Druids increased with a bang.
Seeing their own people being killed for resisting and their corpses being hung up, the favorability of these Druids increased by a lot. After stripping himself naked and throwing him into a cage like an animal, the favorability of these Druids increased by a lot. Currently, although all the Druids were locked up, they all treated Li Huailin with a grateful attitude. As for those who were not captured, of course, they were already dead. Who cared about their favorability?
Tesmog's favorability was also very high. It was to the point that the way he looked at Li Huailin had changed into an expression of worship. To be honest, Li Huailin was a little depressed about this situation. This time, he really wanted to humiliate Tesmog. In the end, Tesmog suddenly became his worshipper. He felt that he could not use his strength.
"Your Majesty, we have now completely realized our mistakes. Your Majesty is such a great person. I don't know what possessed us to have a conflict with Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please forgive our mistakes," Tesmog sincerely apologized.
Tesmog's attitude surprised Legg. He did not expect this Druid leader to be so determined to surrender.
"Alright, I got it." Of course, Li Huailin knew what was going on. He waved his hand and said, "Let me ask you a few questions."
"Please ask, Your Majesty. As long as I know, I will tell you everything." Tesmog's favorability of Li Huailin was too high. Of course, he was willing to say anything.
"Can you Druids really see the situation in the Dream World?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Tesmog nodded. "When we practice Druid magic, we can see the scene of another world at a certain stage. That world is called the reflection of the real world, which is the Dream World. The stronger a Druid is, the more they can see in the Dream World. So, as long as you can see the situation in the Dream World, you should be able to increase your strength. "
"You can increase your strength by seeing the Dream World? Who said that? "Li Huailin asked.
"This … I don't know. But that's what we Druids have always thought," Tesmog said.
"As far as I know, there are some scenes in the Dream World that have not happened yet. So, you Druids also have the ability to predict?" Li Huailin said.
"Your Majesty, you know about the Dream World?" Tesmog asked, slightly surprised.
"A little," Li Huailin answered casually.
"Really? What do you know, Your Majesty? " After hearing Li Huailin's answer, Tesmog's face was filled with excitement. The situation in the Dream World was too attractive to these Druids. It was like a scientist who had discovered the most mysterious scientific truth. Therefore, Tesmog was very excited.
"Now, I'm the one asking you questions." Li Huailin did not plan to say anything to Tesmog. He answered directly, "Just answer my question."
"Err … yes." Tesmog calmed down a little and said, "Indeed, powerful Druids can see some of the future in the Dream World. This is why we especially want to understand the Dream World."
"You can see it too?" Li Huailin asked.
"Occasionally, I can see some." Tesmog nodded.
"So, the invasion of the Ancient Gods is true? You saw it in the Dream World? "Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty. This is absolutely true," Tesmog nodded. "Although we don't know the specific situation, there is indeed an Ancient God that is awakening and preparing to come to this world again."
"How much do you know about the Ancient Gods?" Li Huailin asked after some thought.
"Not much, but according to the information passed down by the Druids, the Ancient Gods are a special existence in ancient times. They are full of malice towards new species like us. However, after a long time, they have fallen into an endless sleep. Once they wake up, it will be a huge disaster for this world. So, we must prevent this from happening, "Tesmog said.
Tesmog's introduction was similar to the official website's introduction. Li Huailin continued to ask, "So, how do you plan to prevent this from happening?"
"Currently, we know too little about the Ancient Gods. I don't know how to deal with it," Tesmog said. "So, we need a large number of people to investigate this. What we know is that the pollution in this world is increasing. This might be because the pollution in the Dream World is also increasing, and it is being reflected in our world. I think the cause of this situation is the Ancient Gods that are awakening. "
"So, that's how you deduced it." Li Huailin facepalmed. "So, this is completely your personal guess?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Tesmog nodded. "This is a warning from the Dream World. I think there should be no problem with my guess."
"Damn it, nonsense," Li Huailin said immediately. "You don't know the situation, so don't talk nonsense, okay? Do you know how much trouble your wild guess will cause for the current situation? "
"This … Your Majesty … Do you have information about the Ancient Gods?" Tesmog asked.
"Yes … Yes, I do have some information." Li Huailin thought for a while and said, "But I'm still investigating this information. What I know is that the Dream World's corrosion has nothing to do with the Ancient Gods' awakening. It's because of something else."
"May I ask what it is, Your Majesty?" Tesmog asked.
"You can't know it now." Li Huailin waved his hand and said, "But because your wild guess has caused me a lot of trouble, I hope you can stop it now. You can continue to let the adventurers investigate about the Ancient Gods, but don't drag the Dream World's corrosion into this, okay? "
"Is what Your Majesty said true?" Tesmog asked. "But …"
"No buts." Li Huailin waved his hand. "I still trust you. I hope you can give me a reason to continue trusting you. Do you understand?"
