The dark elves, who had completely mastered the Underdark, were so satisfied that they set their sights on the central mountains, their distant relatives, and their enemies for generations—the high elves.
If it were the High Elf Empire thousands of years ago, it would naturally not be afraid, and destroying the dark elves would be a matter of minutes.
But now there are not many high elves left in the central mountains. Facing the dark elves who have accumulated power for thousands of years, it is naturally a bit difficult.
The number of dark elves is similar to the number of these high elves, but the number of servants recruited by the dark elves in the underdark is huge. Not only are there a large number of goblins, they also enslave the Minotaurs, also known as tauren (ntr).
There were even several Nether Dragons as thugs. For a time, the power of the dark elves overwhelmed the high elves.
Now the only advantage of the high elves is that they completely overwhelm the dark elves in terms of the number of high-end weapons, which is why the war with the dark elves has temporarily fallen into a stalemate.
However, at this moment, the high elves received the news from the elven horns, and the divine messenger appeared!
This allowed the Silver Moon clan to see a turning point. Perhaps the appearance of the divine envoy was sent by the elf goddess Lilith to help deal with the dark elves. Maybe they could use this to drive the dark elves back to the Underdark.
However, the opinions among the high elves are not unified. Some believe that the elf goddess's oracle cannot be violated and they must firmly support the divine messenger.
Others believe that defeating the dark elves has to rely on their own strength, and since the elven goddess has not had an oracle for nearly a thousand years, this time the oracle may not be true.
Therefore, the two groups were quarreling fiercely, each trying to outdo the other.
In the end, the Elf King and Queen expressed their stance and decided to take over the divine envoy first and then make plans.
Hearing this, Elos and Ekaterina somewhat understood that the elves were not monolithic, and there were also political struggles and struggles for power.
After understanding the causes and consequences of all this, Elos couldn't help but smile to himself. It turned out that the elves were also fighting for power, but they were too simple, and all their conspiracies were almost clearly laid out on paper.
It’s no wonder that for thousands of years, the elves have been living in seclusion in the mountains. They have faced either warcraft orcs or ancient trees, snakes and insects. How can they have accumulated the rich conspiracy culture of humans?
Tanis Starlight led Iloth and others to take some remote trails. Iloth understood that he wanted to avoid other people who sent teams to meet the messenger of God, so that he could take the credit alone.
We didn't say anything at the time, we talked and laughed all the way, we stayed overnight at dawn, and gradually traveled deep into the Central Mountains.
Along the way, Iloth and Ekaterina, whose looks far surpassed those of the elves, were more eye-catching than the other members of the War Eagle clan in the team.
Even the delicate, neat and beautiful elf women are not as pretty and eye-catching as Iloth and Ekaterina.
Soon, Tanis Starlight and other elven men fell in love with the beautiful Catherine.
The elf women in the team also took the initiative to greet Ilosu and called her service to the Lord God Envoy. Yekaterina kept rolling her eyes when she saw this, which made Ilosu extremely embarrassed.
It turns out that elves are naturally irresistible to beautiful things.
At this moment, Elos and his party have entered the territory of the high elves.
He has clearly felt the difference in the forest. Although there are also towering ancient trees everywhere, the sunlight shines down from the treetops without any hindrance. Ancient trees, small trees, shrubs, and grass are scattered in an orderly manner, all sharing the sunlight.
Small animals such as rabbits and civet cats are not afraid of strangers and will often pass in front of the team.
This was a forest that was full of life, peaceful and peaceful. It was completely different from the depressing and dank primitive forests he had seen before.
Looking from a distance, an emerald green mountain peak rises from the ground. Halfway up the mountain, small emerald green buildings are faintly visible, suspended above ancient trees. On the top of the peak, there are several huge and strange birds circling. With.
Elos looked intently and saw that those flying birds turned out to be griffins with extremely sharp beaks and claws.
"Tannis, could those strange birds be griffins?"
Tanis Starlight was very surprised by Eloth's excellent eyesight. Although elves are also known for their good eyesight, looking from this distance, he could only see a few black spots.
If he hadn't already known that those griffins were raised by the clan, he would never have seen anything.
"Master Divine Envoy, those are griffins. You are really full of miracles. It's hard to imagine that your eyesight can be compared with the most famous archer of the elves!"
Ekaterina asked curiously: "I heard that a griffon can carry a warrior. Is this true?"
"Beautiful Miss Ekaterina, griffins are very heavy, so although they are extremely powerful, they can only carry lighter warriors. Because of our light body, we elves can sit on griffins and fight. But even so, only adult and strong griffons can carry the elf warriors."
"Gryphons plus elven archers are a very powerful combination! How many griffins do you have?" As a soldier, Elos was naturally very interested in this type of unit with air supremacy, so he spoke up. Inquiry.
Griffins are the pride of the elves. If you can become a griffin knight, it will be the pride of pride.
Tanis Starlight replied proudly:
"We have more than 500 griffins in total, and only 300 can actually carry warriors. But even these 300 griffins are enough for us to resist the attack of the dark elves and defend the central forest. But the God Envoy Sir, to be honest, these monsters are not easy to serve and are expensive, so we cannot raise many of them. Griffins are considered very powerful among the monsters raised by the elves."
The welcome ceremony of the elves was grand and simple. Although there was no splendid decoration on the golden wall, the sincerity shown by the whole clan, regardless of men, women, old or young, cannot be replaced by any gorgeous decorations or luxurious banquets.
The elf king and queen who appeared were even more graceful, and there was a hint of worldliness in their movements.
Elos understood that it was the power of plane rules.
Especially the Queen, although she does not have the overwhelming aura of the Elf King, she possesses the ability to captivate people both in her words and in her actions. In the realm of the soul, she actually overwhelms Elos.
You must know that Elos has redeemed countless souls. Except for a few people in the world, there are almost no people who can surpass him in terms of soul power.
Seeing the enthusiasm and expectation shown in the beautiful eyes of the elves, Eloise couldn't help but feel a little moved.
The elves have not changed much for thousands of years and have no intention of making progress. On the contrary, the human race has continued to thrive amidst repeated wars and self-strife.
The arts related to war, whether it is magic, strategy, combat skills or the research of large-scale war equipment, have made rapid progress, and the territory of the human empire is also constantly expanding.
From this point of view, if the remaining elves on the continent want to change their destiny, there is really no way to maintain their survival other than comprehensive transformation. Otherwise, a small dark elf will cause them to encounter a major crisis. I am afraid that they will not be able to survive again.
After a thousand years, there will be no trace of high elves in the continent of Toril.
However, after meeting the Elf King and Queen, as well as the thirteen elders of the Council of Elders, Iloth and Yekaterina believed that the high elves in the Central Mountains still have a very deep foundation, but their thoughts are too
Obsolete.
Being conservative sometimes means being regressive and lacking in progress.
The current situation in the continent of Toril is one of great strife. Without aggressiveness and the desire to fight for power and gain, you are destined to be unable to make any progress and gradually fall behind your competitors.
If the continent of Toril is reunited one day, the central mountain range will surely be slowly developed. At that time, the high elves exposed to the sight of the human race will inevitably repeat the mistakes they made thousands of years ago and will perish.
However, Iloth did not tell these elves about these thoughts. He scorned the title of divine envoy that the elves had forced on him. He had already discussed it with Ekaterina and would withdraw when he found the right time.
.
Anyway, he has seen the high elves. As for the war with the dark elves and the future of the high elves, what does it have to do with him.
Elos didn't think that he, a mere paladin, could change anything, not to mention that the Silver Moon clan also had a demigod, several legendary strongmen, and more than a dozen strong saints.
At this time, a noble and elegant elf woman walked up to Iloth and Ekaterina and said softly: "Dear envoy and beautiful lady, the Elf King and Queen want to summon you alone.
"
Elos recognized that this elegant elf woman was the maid who was standing next to the Elf King and Queen just now, but she didn't know the purpose of meeting him and Ekaterina alone.
