After that, Lin Li, the Elf King and others returned to the Aola Mountains where they lived before.
The Elf King was also very surprised when he saw that the height of the Aola Mountains was no longer half as high as it was because of Lin Li's battle with the high priest.
"This was caused by the battle between Lin Li and Grandpa Nat." Diana said softly, holding the Elf Queen's arm.
"Nat?" The Elf King was also very emotional when he heard the name of the high priest who had always followed him loyally.
"What happened in these years? Why did Grandpa Nat betray us?"
Diana asked the Elf King in confusion. She still doesn't understand the high priest's betrayal.
"The starting point of this matter is the war in the demon world a hundred years ago. When you suddenly disappeared, your mother and I have been looking for your whereabouts everywhere, and the only clue we got at that time was that you
He was captured by the demon clan and taken to the demon world." The Elf King said and glanced meaningfully at Lin Li, who was listening curiously next to him.
When I heard that the matter was actually related to their demon clan, I instantly felt very innocent.
The Elf King also shook his head and continued: "It happened that people from the human race came to deliver the news. At the border between the human race and the demon race, a large number of human race countries were wiped out overnight, and hundreds of millions of human race civilians died overnight.
Wu Cun, and at that time everyone thought that only the Demon King could do this, and then the human race united with other races to launch a crusade against the Demon World."
"I really didn't do that thing back then..."
Lin Li spread his hands helplessly, expressing his innocence.
If Lin Li had said this a few days ago, the Elf King would definitely not believe it, but now he is willing to believe Lin Li's words. What happened back then may not really have been done by him, the devil king, but whoever is behind the scenes must be causing trouble.
And know it.
"But you didn't have any refutation of this matter back then, so the war happened naturally. That war that used almost all the mobilizable troops in the world lasted for several years, and a large number of
Resources were invested in this war, and all races devoted all their efforts to this 'just' war. The final result was that the Demon King launched forbidden magic and disappeared into this world with the Demon Realm. This is what we
These races will truly defeat you demons for the first time."
The Elf King looked at Lin Li. Although it seems that the war at that time was not a correct war, at that time, all the tribes defeated the demons. However, they celebrated for several months. Everyone thought that the disappearance of the demons meant that
This world will usher in true peace.
"But as the Demon Realm disappeared from this world, everyone discovered that this world had not changed substantially. On the contrary, due to the losses of the war, many races were not as good as before, with small-scale wars, racial oppression, and displaced people.
Instead, there were more and more refugees. The world did not develop in the direction that people hoped for. However, after the war, the human race recovered extremely quickly and began to rapidly expand their territories. The territories of many small races began to be occupied by them.
The humans took it away by force, and the larger races like us and the orcs are already unable to protect themselves, let alone stand up for those smaller races." The Elf King frowned and whispered.
"But what do these things have to do with Grandpa Nat's betrayal?" Diana asked the Elf King in confusion.
The Elf King thought for a moment and then continued: "Because watching the human race gradually carve up the benefits generated after the war, strange voices began to appear in our clan. The most representative one is the hard-line faction represented by King Yalan. Their thoughts
Just like the human race, we have to lead the elves to participate in the invasion of other small races and expand the territory and power of the elves. After that, the entire elves were divided into two factions: me and King Yalan. Although
At the beginning of the period, under my influence, I advocated that the internal development of the elves should be gradually restored by ourselves, but in the end it was still too slow, and in the end King Arran's power gradually surpassed mine."
"The entire Elf clan became more and more irritable and began to be unable to accept the slow recovery speed. At this time, King Yalan also privately led his army to invade the surrounding small races, bringing back a large amount of plundered resources.
After returning, more and more people supported him. The tribesmen knew that this approach was wrong, but no one was willing to admit it. They believed that this approach could truly show the elves' renewed strength. In the end, Nat
He also stood on the side of King Arran... Later, in order to gain more power, King Arran also always wanted to win the Elf Crown..."
The Elf King finally told what happened in these years. Since the war that year, the entire Elf clan has been in chaos. The so-called plundering of resources has not made the Elf clan stronger again. Wanting to return all the clansmen begins
After adapting to the method of obtaining resources through plunder, the elves began to have more and more internal wars, but no one tried to stop these wars from happening. They gradually began to regard such wars as a way to eliminate the weak.
, turning the entire elves into a world where flesh can be eaten by the strong.
After listening to the Elf King's words, Lin Li also fell into deep thought. When the demon world disappears in this world, there are always people to support the dark side of this world. In order to compete for interests, they have also become what they hated most before.
"Demon", it's really funny when you think about it.
"Okay, those things have passed. Let's think about the future first." Lin Li broke the silence and said with a smile.
"Yes, the top priority now is to get the elves back on track." Diana also affirmed Lin Li's words.
"Well, let's leave these things to you young people. You are the hope of this world. As for me, the failed Elf King, I will no longer participate." The Elf King said with a very lonely look in his eyes.
, he devoted everything to the elves in his life, just wanting to become a great elf king, but in the end, because of his wrong decision, the elves fell into dire straits. In the end, not only did he fail to protect the elves, but he also failed to protect the elves.
I wonder if the children who died will blame him as an unqualified father...
"You are not a failed elf king. When the elves were in trouble, you did not lead the elves to bully the weak. You guarded the bottom line of the elves and made the right decision. No matter what, you remained the same.
A respectable Elf King."
Lin Li suddenly spoke to the Elf King very seriously.
Hearing Lin Li's words, the Elf King was also stunned, and then the loneliness on his face gradually dissipated, and he smiled at Lin Li, "If you could be the same as you are now, maybe none of this will happen..."
After the Elf King finished speaking, he turned to look at the Elf Queen beside him. The Elf Queen also nodded towards the Elf King.
"Then let's leave first. From now on, the elves will be in the hands of you, the demon king."
After the Elf King finished speaking, before Lin Li and the others could speak, he left Aola Mountain with the Elf Queen.
Looking at the two figures disappearing into the horizon, Lin Li could only helplessly shake his head.
"Diana's vision is indeed the same as yours. She has really chosen a good candidate for our elves." The Elf King in the sky held the Elf Queen's hand and said with a smile.
"My daughter's vision is much better than mine." The Elf Queen also responded softly to the Elf King.
"Uh..." The Elf King wanted to retort, but no matter what, Lin Li, the Demon King, is indeed much stronger than himself...
…
"How many troops can we muster among the elves now?" Lin Li turned to ask Arant, who had just regained his body.
"There may be no one on our side now." Arant said with some helplessness. After decades of fighting, the entire elven force has basically sided with King Arran and the main war faction.
"This... then you are no longer a mere commander..." Lin Li heard that it would be very difficult for Arant to unify the entire elves alone in this situation.
Lin Li thought for a while and then took out the communication stone. He clicked it lightly and finally chose Vanessa's avatar among the floating avatars. The communication stone flashed for a long time, and Vanessa's voice was finally heard from inside.
sound.
"Our Lord Demon King has finally remembered us, the people of the Demon Clan... Recently we have been discussing whether to nominate a new Demon King?"
Vanessa's sour voice came from the communication stone.
And Arant was very shocked when he heard the voice coming from the communication stone. He didn't know who would dare to talk to the Demon King like this.
"Ahem, I will go back in a few days after the matter with the elves is resolved. But now the elves need to send some people over. From now on, the elves will be our allies of the demons." Lin Li coughed twice and said to him.
Said Vanessa.
"Huh? As expected of you, did you conquer the elves in such a short time?" Vanessa's excited and surprised voice came from the other side of the communication stone.
"It's not a conquest, but the Elf King insists on giving me the Elf Crown, so from now on, the affairs of the Elf clan will be our own business."
"Elf Crown? Elf Crown?! Is it the Elf Crown that symbolizes the identity of the Elf King?!" Vanessa recalled the elven artifacts described in the history books and the Elf Crown passed down through the generations and shouted in surprise. She originally thought
Lin Li just reached an agreement with the elves, but he didn't expect that he would directly become the king of the elves.
