章 27: Late Night Sneak Attack on the Lion Knights
編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation
The moment the guard entered the tent, he immediately sat down on the commander's seat.
The commander of the Lion Knights actually stood to the side without showing any displeasure.
The guard slowly took off the red helmet on his head to reveal a golden-haired young man.
If the nobles of the Sky Eagle Empire saw this, they would definitely be shocked, because the young man in front of them was the first heir of the Sky Eagle Empire, Clarence.
"Prince Clarence, you saw it just now. The elves have no intention of giving in. What should we do next?"
As soon as Molma finished speaking, Clarence grinned. "Commander Molma, what are you worried about?"
"I just feel that if we rashly send out the Lion Knights and Rufael's Sorcerers, I'm worried that when the old king would find out…"
"Father's health has never been very good. We should take some responsibilities from him when we can. As for unfortunate incidents such as this, we shouldn't let him hear about it at all, lest his condition worsen."
Clarence interrupted what Molma wanted to say with a smile of a man who had everything under his control.
"I'll inherit the Sky Eagle Empire sooner or later. Moreover, my teacher, Saint Mage Gordon, is also greatly in support."
"Moreover, I paid a huge price for the knowledge of the Elven Queen's current situation — that she was poisoned.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If something happens to the Elven Queen, there would no longer be a Saint-level powerhouse in the huge elf race, and they would be just there for the taking.
"At that time, the other nine human kingdoms and the orc kingdom would all try to profit from the situation.
"We must turn this situation to our advantage before they realize it. Only then would we be able to reap the greatest benefits. Time waits for no man."
Recalling the details of the battle during the day, Molma nodded. "Yes, the Elven Queen doesn't seem to have any intention of fighting us."
Everything that happened today was basically under their control.
Clarence laughed out loud. "The elves now are not the elves from a thousand years ago. Even the druid warriors from back then are on the verge of extinction. We don't have to be afraid at all."
'Instead of letting others devour them into pieces, it would be better to let our Sky Eagle Empire devour them.'
'Only then will we be able to reap the greatest benefits.'
In fact, Clarence's ambition was not limited to that. Obliterating the Elves was only the first step. The second step was to swallow the orc kingdom. Just like that, he would slowly become the overlord of the sacred continent and create a new era.
Thinking of this, Clarence's light flickered. He licked his dry lips and said, "Ever since the elven hunters were killed, it's been a long time since I've tasted a beautiful female elf."
After taking down the elves this time, the business of selling the elves would all fall into the hands of the Sky Eagle Empire.
This was a huge profit and a huge asset. It could even lay a solid foundation for them to dominate the continent.
However, the mages they secretly sent, disguised as hunters and elves living in the tribes, had mysteriously disappeared.
This matter was rather mysterious.
...
Late at night, the Lion Knights were patrolling the outskirts of the Heavenly Night Forest.
Suddenly, a black figure scuttled out like a cheetah in the moonlight.
This black figure was very fast. The patrolling knights could not detect its existence at all.
It was only a blink of an eye. This black figure merged into the boundless darkness once again.
It was as if it had never appeared before.
This black shadow was none other than Chris, who had returned to the elves with the Elven Queen during the day.
Chris was furious when Elder Norton was injured.
All the elves were united against the same enemy. They wanted to charge forward and fight to the death with these human knights.
However, after considering various factors, the Elven Queen suppressed her anger and stopped these impulsive clansmen.
She also carried Elder Norton to the Spring of Life and ended the treatment of the Spring of Life.
Chris saw the grievances of the elven race.
The two elite forces of the Sky Eagle Empire had an army pressing down on Heavenly Night Forest. Even if a war broke out, the elven race would not be able to gain any advantage. Instead, the elves would bleed rivers of blood and countless elven people would die.
Moreover, Chris knew that the Elven Queen was poisoned.
He had already decided on a solution. After dealing with these knights, he would help the Elven Queen to completely remove the poison from her body.
Thinking of this, Chris' eyes flashed coldly. "Since you came to find me, you brought this upon yourselves. Don't blame me for being merciless."
In a month's time, Chris' cultivation had become more stable. The Power of Laws in his body had also expanded from 1,500 meters to 2,000 meters.
He was confident that he would be able to kill a Saint-level powerhouse if he needed to.
After all, according to the records in the ancient books, the Power of Laws in the body of an ordinary Saint-level powerhouse was only 1,000 meters.
Not only that, he had almost finished researching the water-type magic that he had received as a reward from the Spring of Life.
For this, he had even fused a brand new magic from three elements.
Just half a month ago, when he was testing his magic in the cave, the huge explosive force had broken through the encirclement of his defensive magic circle. It had even attracted the elven patrol team.
For this reason, the elven elders had even held a meeting in the meeting hall, suspecting that the Necromancer who had helped them might be hiding in the Heavenly Night Forest.
"The combined power of three-element magic is much stronger than the power of two-element magic." Chris' s eyes were filled with anticipation.
It was said that the defensive form of a knight was the strongest in terms of defense. He did not know if three-element magic would be able to break through his defense.
Chris, who had used dark magic and merged with the darkness, thought to himself as he took out the Undead Mask that the system had rewarded him with.
After putting on the mask, Chris' s body and appearance underwent a huge change.
However, at this moment.
In the military tent, Molma and Clarence were still unaware that danger was quietly approaching.
"According to the reports from the spies, the elf patrols are mainly distributed in these few places. If we want to lead the army to march straight in, we need to wipe out all of these patrols."
Commander Molma raised his pistol and pointed at the small mounds on the sand table, discussing the specific details of the attack on the elven race.
"Don't worry, Commander Molma. I've already received the news that my teacher Gordon will arrive at the latest this morning.
"At that time, Rufael's Sorcerers will attack from a long distance and destroy the elven hunting teams on these hills. Then, you will lead the Lion Knights in a charge. The elves will definitely be doomed this time."
Clarence revealed a smile, as if everything was under his control.
"It's a pity that such a beautiful female elf was poisoned. However, it just so happens that I can enjoy her properly."
Clarence licked his lips, revealing a greedy gaze.
However, at this moment, a clamor suddenly came from outside.
