The negotiators rushed to Bulwark Village's Rebel Army Command Post again for the second negotiation. This time Rebel Army would put forward a series of demands.

During the first negotiation, Rebel Army asked Silver Moon Elf to set aside a piece of land on Pattington Plane for Half-Elf, and to set up another Half-Elf Autonomous Prefecture, the governor will also be Half-Elf, allowing Silver Moon Elf Legion to guarantee that all Half-Elf in the Rebel Army will not be liquidated by the military afterwards.

At that time, Silver Moon Elf's negotiator felt that Rebel Army made many unreasonable demands.

Out of anger, the negotiator directly terminated the negotiation and left Pattington Plane the next day.

I thought that after the negotiation was terminated, Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion would take the opportunity to eradicate this Rebel Army, but I didn't expect that Earl Swynborne had been standing still and did not attack Rebel Army.

Padesto City is just blocked, and strict material control is carried out inside Padesto City.

It is the material control implemented by Earl Swynborne that makes Bulwark Village's life very difficult. All the edible things in the surrounding forest have been picked. Every day, a group of Half-Elf go to the jungle farther away to collect food.

There is no way, the number of the Rebel Army gathered by Bulwark Village is too much, and it has seriously exceeded the limit that Bulwark Village can bear.

In order to facilitate the management of these Rebel Army, Rebel Army Chieftain divides Rebel Army into five areas, First District's Rebel Army was the Half-Elf who initially rebelled with him, and Second District was also considered a participant during that initial period. There were approximately 20,000 Half-Elf in these two areas.

In the next three districts, Rebel Army retreated to Bulwark Village. Many Half-Elf came here because of it. Half-Elf joined every day, and the team became bigger and bigger...

Today, the number of the Rebel Army has expanded to 50,000 Half-Elf.

Rebel Army's team has become extremely bloated and has even lost its mobility...

Unless Rebel Army Chieftain can make up his mind to completely abandon most of the old, young, sick and disabled, it will be difficult for the Rebel Army to leave Bulwark Village.

Therefore, this time Rebel Army Chieftain's request to Silver Moon Elf negotiator is still the conditions listed in the first negotiation.

It's just that in this negotiation, Rebel Army's situation is even worse.

Half-Elfs are still coming from all over Pattington Plane every day. Everyone thinks that Bulwark Village has become a place of freedom, a gathering place for Half-Elfs, and a paradise for Half-Elfs...

In fact, the last bit of order maintained by Bulwark Village is gradually disappearing.

Some Half-Elf Rebel Army were leaning against the tree chatting. They had nothing to do all day long. Almost everything was lacking here.

Everyone is discussing where to get food.

Many Half-Elf are worried that the second negotiation will fail and a war will break out here.

They were originally just elf hunters in the southern jungle of Padesto City. They could set up traps to hunt Wind Fox, but if they wanted to go to war with the Silver Moon Elf regular army, everyone knew that if they carried out small-scale guerrilla warfare in the jungle, it would be fine. Let them stick to Bulwark Village... there was no possibility of winning.

Roy and Sabrina walked into the messy Fifth District in casual clothes. There were hammocks hanging on many big trees here, and some Half-Elfs lay in the hammocks and slept in during the day.

The entire forest has become a living area, and many tents have been set up in the forest clearing.

Some Half-Elf children were playing in this forest clearing where sewage flowed across. When they saw Roy and Sabrina, they cheered and surrounded them.

They didn't ask for food, they just looked at the packages behind Roy and Sabrina eagerly.

Sabrina took out the leather bag very simply, turned it inside out, and said to the group of Half-Elf children, "I don't have anything to eat here. Go try your luck with the elves you are looking for..."

Obviously she has some experience, because yesterday afternoon she and Instructor Nora were exhausted from dealing with these things.

Those Half-Elf children saw that there was nothing edible in Sabrina's bag, so they left angrily...

"The biggest victims of war are often these poor children." Sabrina said somewhat depressedly.

"So do you think it would be happy if Pattington Plane returned to the way he was six months ago, or if he becomes what he is now in pursuit of freedom and equality... would he be happy?" Roy asked Sabrina in a low voice.

Sabrina was slightly startled. She just felt that the lives of these Half-Elf were terrible now.

"Maybe we are happy now. At least they are not Pig-Orcs in captivity now. They may be sold by Slave Traders at any time..." Sabrina thought about it seriously before saying.

While the two were talking, they walked into Fifth District of Bulwark Village.

Strictly speaking, this place is no longer Bulwark Village. It is just a hillside next to Bulwark Village, where a large number of Half-Elf are gathered.

"If you were that Rebel Army Chieftain, what choice would you make?" Roy continued to ask Sabrina.

"I will immediately disband this Rebel Army and retreat into the jungle with some Half-Elf. The Rebel Army team does not need to be so bloated. If everyone stays here, they will only be dragged to death by these Half-Elf. It is better to retreat to the Blackwater Swamp area with some elites..." Sabrina said firmly.

"What about the Half-Elfs here?" Roy asked Sabrina.

"Earl Swynborne will definitely come forward to accept them. After all, his Pattington Plane needs to develop. Half-Elf can't do it without these!" Sabrina Said, she rolled her eyes, apparently thinking of something, and said to Roy, "But if we can win some rights for these Half-Elfs before leaving, it is not impossible..."

Maybe that Rebel Army Chieftain can't wait to get rid of such a bloated tail now. Obviously Silver Moon Elf Negotiation Team is the most suitable recipient.

The negotiators representing Silver Moon Elf may have realized this a long time ago, which is why they put forward such harsh requirements at the beginning: The first one is to ask Rebel Army Chieftain to accept the trial of the elf Elder Council Tribunal.

Roy and Sabrina were fascinated by the conversation.

Roy: "... That's why there will be a second negotiation."

Sabrina: "... that's why Negotiation Team officials are so aggressive,"

Roy's eyes were a little bright and he said to Sabrina, "So they just want to get some benefits for these Half-Elf as much as possible before leaving!"

Sabrina turned around excitedly and said quickly to Roy: "That's probably it! Maybe they even knew clearly that Slave Traders was mixed into the Rebel Army."

"Speaking of which, these troubles are almost all caused by Lord Alvis and Slave Traders. Will they leave a big gift for these Slave Traders before leaving?" Roy guessed.

Sabrina had clear eyes and looked at Roy with a smile.

Wood Elf's figure and Silver Moon Elf's beauty blend together, giving Sabrina a stunning beauty.

Several Rebel Army warriors wearing weapons walked towards them. The one in the middle came to Roy and looked at Roy sharply. After discovering his human face, his blue pupils shrank slightly. He lowered his head to calm down and asked the two of them:

"Where are you two from? Are you here to join us Crusader Army?"

Roy felt that this Rebel Army was somewhat interesting, at least with sharp eyes, so he quickly said, "We came here to seek refuge with a friend. He wrote to me and said that he was doing well here and asked me to come and help him..."

"There is a friend here!" The Rebel Army warrior held the hilt of his sword tightly, trying hard to keep his voice from fluctuating too much, and then stared at Roy and asked? "Are you human? Are you looking for Welsh?"

Roy shook his head and said, "The person I am looking for is a human magician, his name is Benjamin, not Welsh."

Unexpectedly, the Rebel Army soldier walked over quickly, put a big hand on Roy's shoulder, smiled so hard that he almost narrowed his eyes, and said to Roy kindly, "That's him. His name used to be Benjamin, but now it has been changed to Welsh. When you see him later, don't call him by his original name. Come with me, and I will take you to see him."

Roy and Sabrina looked at each other, not expecting that things would go so smoothly.

He thought that several instructors were not far behind him and could rush over to support him at any time.

Roy had no worries and followed the Rebel Army soldiers into Fifth District. He deliberately kept his pace slower to prevent Instructor Nora and the others from catching up.

I saw Roy communicating with a Rebel Army soldier. Instructor Nora and Magician Scarlett were hiding more than a hundred meters away, silently observing the situation over there.

"These Half-Elfs are more likely to accept Half-Elf..."

Magician Scarlett whispered to Instructor Nora.

In order to conceal Silver Moon Elf's identity, she even dyed her hair blue-grey to make herself look like a hybrid of Dark Moon Elf and Silver Moon Elf...

"They are going inside, let's follow them!" Instructor Nora urged.

The two instructors were about to follow, when a group of Half-Elf children emerged from nowhere. These children did not speak, but gathered around Instructor Nora and Magician Scarlett, silently extending their hands.

Instructor Nora didn't want to get entangled with this group of Half-Elf children. He frowned and said, "We don't have anything to eat either. Get out of the way quickly. We have something to be busy with..."

Before Instructor Nora finished speaking, he saw a Half-Elf child suddenly lowered his head and bumped into Instructor Nora.

Instructor Nora was afraid that he would fall to the ground, so he turned sideways and picked him up.

Unexpectedly, the Half-Elf child immediately shouted, "Ouch... why did you hit me!"

Those Half-Elf Rebel Army who were still chatting around suddenly rushed over with a roar, surrounding Instructor Nora and Magician Scarlett...
