280: Chapter 36 Intensified 280: Chapter 36 Intensified “Damn infuriating!” Back at the Imperial Palace, the King of the Sacred Empire slamd his palm heavily on the jade stone table, “I’m returning to my country imdiately tomorrow, summoning the nation’s strongest.
If I don’t wipe out these elves, my na isn’t Ji!”
“Remain calm, don’t be impulsive,” whether King Cang cared about the stone table or was simply calm enough was unknown.
“The losses for Cang Nation this ti are quite significant,” King Liang Chen seated himself, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, seemingly pondering.
“Don’t trouble yourself over it,” King Cang rolled his eyes and turned to the ruler of Shate Kingdom, “What do you think?”
“The sa as King Ji.
Since the elves dared to start a war, then we shall accompany them to the bitter end!” The King of Shate Kingdom spoke with murderous intent, “I’ve never felt such suffocation before!”
“Weren’t you suffocating when dealing with the Fen Serpent?” King Liang Chen chuckled.
“Why don’t you cut it out?
I don’t believe you’re not the slightest bit angry!” King Ji retorted.
King Liang Chen shrugged, “It’s okay, my temper is usually pretty good.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than a minister from Liang Chen rushed into the hall, panting beside King Liang Chen, and began whispering in his ear.
“What?!” King Liang Chen instantly flew into a rage, smashing the jade stone table into pieces, “Damn it!
Everyone grab your weapons, we’ll exterminate the elves!”
“Oh?” The three Kings chuckled, it seed likely that Liang Chen had been attacked by the elves, suffering heavy losses.
“This is too much, an absolute outrage!” King Liang Chen fud uncontrollably.
The battle at Cangdu had just ended, and now another of his border towns had been taken by the elves?
“Haha, King Liang Chen, don’t be angry.
Be at peace, be at peace,” King Ji teased him, “Aren’t you the one with the best ntality among us four?”
“If your holand was looted by the elves, I wonder if you could endure it!” King Liang Chen pointed at the nose of King Ji, “Those beasts, they slaughtered a city!
They slaughtered it!”
“What!”
This ti, no King was smiling.
Killing many soldiers was understandable, but slaughtering a city, murdering defenseless civilians, was an atrocity.
“They are retaliating,” Lu Hong spoke up from the side, “With Ambrala and the elves now at complete odds, we cannot sit idle.
The elves are skilled archers and assassins, hiding in ambush.
If they want to destroy our cities, they have too many thods.
We must strike first.”
“Baron is right,” King Cang nodded his head.
Just then, the minister from Liang Chen burst in again, about to whisper, but King Liang Chen kicked him aside, “Speak up, what’s going on!”
“Your…
Your Majesty, please return to your country imdiately, the elves are attacking Riverway City again,” the minister’s voice trembled.
“What did you say?!” King Liang Chen grabbed the minister and shouted angrily, “Say that again?!”
“The elves…
The elves are attacking Riverway City again.”
With a thud, King Ji caught the minister, placing him safely on the ground, “Don’t be impulsive, we can send troops to reinforce Liang Chen imdiately.”
“No need,” King Liang Chen said solemnly, “Send the order imdiately, let Dumang hurry to the battlefield to strangle the elves!
This grudge, my nation of Liang Chen will avenge personally!”
Besides the experts who attacked Cangdu, the elves must have poured a large force into taking down Liang Chen’s city in such a short ti.
Why then, would they provoke the seven nations of Ambrala?
Did they think their hatred wasn’t high enough yet?
Lu Hong’s brows furrowed slightly, continuously pondering in his heart.
“King Cang,” suddenly, Lu Hong seed to think of sothing and spoke hastily, “Where is the relic furthest from Liang Chen?”
King Cang looked at Lu Hong, curious why he would ask such a question, but then he seed to realize sothing and magic power materialized a topographic map with his hand, “The relic furthest from Liang Chen is within the Shate Kingdom, and that relic has never been stepped upon by the elves before.”
“So you’re saying…” King of the Shate Kingdom continued, “They are creating a diversion, deliberately attacking Liang Chen to shift our attention, then the elites who attacked Cangdu can rush to the relic within my Shate Kingdom.
By doing so, they could open the relic unnoticed.”
“Indeed, I feel the sa way,” Lu Hong nodded.
“I shall set off imdiately to explore the ruins within the Shate Kingdom.”
“I will send death guards to accompany you; they will coordinate with you to ambush the elves,” the King of the Sacred Empire said gravely.
“This ti, I intend to make sure none of those elves return!”
“My kingdom’s Heavy Cavalry will rush to Liang Chen to cut off the elves’ retreat and exterminate all the elves attacking Liang Chen,” said the King of Shate.
The Shate King nodded.
“Then, I will prepare our defenses.
We must not let a single elf escape this ti.
I will make them pay in blood for their debts!”
Lu Hong’s guess was completely correct.
At this mont, the elves that had fled from the battlefield of Cangdu were racing towards the Shate Kingdom.
The Elf Prince’s face was filled with frustration.
He had always believed himself to be invincible at the Second Transition, yet he had been taught a harsh lesson by Lu Hong, utterly overpowered.
Were it not for Miaomiao distracting the opponent, he might well be a corpse now.
“Brother…” Miaomiao was sowhat timid but couldn’t bear it.
“Is it really okay to use over eighty thousand kin as bait?”
The Elf Prince glared at Miaomiao.
“Have you forgotten the instructions our father left us with before he departed?
We must complete our mission at any cost, even if it ans sacrificing everyone’s lives.”
“I…
I understand.”
Seeing Miaomiao’s aggrieved expression, the Elf Prince sighed and said, “Actually, I don’t want this either.
After this failed surprise attack on Cangdu, we will face the frenzy of vengeance from the seven kingdoms of Ambra.
Only by drawing their attention can we safely open the ruins and fulfill our mission.”
As he spoke, the Elf Prince thought of Lu Hong and asked, “That man, shrouded in blood, do you know him?”
“Mhm,” Miaomiao nodded.
“He is the one who rescued from An Ze’s hands.”
“Then why does he hate you so much, to the point of wanting you dead?” asked the Elf Prince in confusion.
“It’s because of Zeus…
I poisoned his elder,” Miaomiao said with a crestfallen face.
“I know it’s my fault, but I…”
“Alright, I know, I know,” the Elf Prince interrupted, comforting the crying Miaomiao.
“It’s not your fault; rest assured I will protect you.”
“No, I will atone for my sins!” Miaomiao said resolutely.
“Once I complete the inherent mission of my elven heritage, I will confess to him.”
“We shall see,” the Elf Prince replied.
Leading Miaomiao away from the thousands and tens of thousands, he knew why Miaomiao had poisoned Zeus, but there was no point in hoping for forgiveness from the other party.
As for Lu Hong, the Elf Prince had already marked him for death; so what if he was invincible at the Second Transition?
Our elven race boasts many at the Third Transition; we will crush you no matter what!
The next morning, the great war between the seven kingdoms and the elven race officially comnced.
In one day, more than half of the seventy-thousand-strong elven force was lost, crushed by the Liang Chen army and scattered in flight.
It seed that the Elven King’s Court was also inford, as they erected a portal and continuously dispatched elves to Ambra.
With that, Ambra and the elves were fully at odds, and the flas of war instantly spread across half of Ambra’s territory.
Liang Chen beca a battlefield, as the forces of the seven kingdoms poured in only to be suppressed by the elves, falling back step by step, outmatched by the elves’ powerful combatants.
On the third day, four Kings jointly sought aid from the Sacred Empire, and Konstantin wrote to the Elf King, demanding that he withdraw from Ambra.
However, the Elf King rejected the demand.
From this point, the Sacred Empire drew powerful beings from all the great planes to enter Ambra and engage in a massive decisive battle with the elves.
This battle lasted a full fifteen days.
Eventually, the elves’ portal was destroyed, resulting in the deaths of over three hundred thousand elves.
Ambra and the Empire, too, paid a heavy price, with the number of their dead more than double that of the elves.
At this mont, Miaomiao followed the Elf Prince, finally arriving at the elven ruins within the Shate Kingdom.
Lu Hong was hiding in an ambush spot, waiting quietly.
A small Black Heaven agent from the Sacred Empire approached Lu Hong and said, “Baron, the King has sent word that we have won the war up ahead.
The elves have been defeated and have retreated from Ambra.”
“If we don’t see any elves in the next two days, we might have to change locations,” Lu Hong murmured after squatting there for more than ten days, his suspicions growing by the day.
If he was wrong, then the Elf Prince might have already opened the ruins by now and engaged in so unknown plotting.
“No worry, we are monitoring all the ruins.
If there’s any movent at any ruin, we’ll open a portal and arrive as fast as possible.”
As they were talking, a group of elves appeared in their line of sight.
Lu Hong’s lips curved into a smile.
“Finally, they’ve co!”
