Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

When the news of the evil orcs, who had been severely beaten by the Elven Empire in the desolate mountains, actively invaded the border and pillaged, reached the Silvermoon Holy City, Ji Chen, Laphia, and Elin were somewhat bewildered.

But soon they became joyful.

Although they didn’t know why these evil orcs, with brains no bigger than walnuts, suddenly provoked the Elven Empire, which was already engulfed in intense desires for war and strong hatred towards the evil faction due to the terrifying demon attacks, it was undoubtedly excellent news.

This foolish act, resembling a child provoking an adult, instantly ignited the fuse of the entire Elven Empire, providing an outlet for the anger that had been brewing due to the inability to capture the mastermind behind the demon attacks.

Seizing this opportunity, Laphia delivered an impassioned speech, rallying the national sentiment to the fullest. Faced with the surging public opinion, elf nobles and lords from all over could not sit idly by and began to mobilize.

Rather, these extremely proud, self-proclaimed descendants of the Mother Goddess felt greatly offended, as if their faces were burning with fury. f𝗿𝐞ewebno𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝐨m

It was like the little rascal you usually look down upon suddenly throwing pebbles at you from behind when you’re not paying attention. It didn’t cause much harm but was extremely insulting.

You lowly orcs, who have been beaten by us elves and can only hide in the desolate mountains, dare to actively invade our borders?

Don’t you know it’s been three days since we’ve had a chance to vent our anger?

The incomprehensible behavior of the evil orcs indirectly accelerated the Elven Empire’s preparations for war.

Moreover, it seemed to confirm the suspicions of those evil alliances in the Divine War. It appeared they had received a message from the demons and were planning to ignite war once again. This provided further support for the Queen’s assertion that the demons were about to return.

Those damned creatures probably really want to extend their claws into this world once again!

Soon, the Silvermoon Holy City dispatched a directly affiliated Royal Knight Order, along with armies from various elf lords along the way, forming a massive army of over fifty thousand, marching vigorously towards the border ravaged by the evil orcs.

Along the way, it was like receiving royal treatment, with elf maidens offering enough flowers to pave a field.

This army had an average tier of six, with the directly affiliated Royal Knight Order reaching six stars. Although there were only three thousand of them, their combat power was equivalent to more than ten times that of the evil orcs.

Such a force was more than enough to deal with thousands of evil orcs, and they could even enter the desolate mountains to wipe out several orc tribes as reciprocal retaliation.

As the army set out, news of the demon attacks in Silvermoon Holy City spread through the well-established trade routes to other parts of the Northern Continent, astonishing other kingdoms and powers.

Among them were elders and strong individuals who were well aware of many details about the divine war that occurred tens of thousands of years ago. They were the most shocked by such events.

The demons, an evil race that had long disappeared into the annals of history, suppressed by the orderly gods in the depths of chaos, had actually reappeared in the main world?

They even launched a terrifying attack within the elven kingdom, killing dozens of high-ranking and influential elven nobles?

They all knew the temperament of these elves. With so many elven nobles dead, there was bound to be an explosion.

While they harbored some doubts and confusion, when the current elven queen, Laphia, sent invitations to various human kingdoms and orderly faction forces to discuss the demon invasion, they all responded without hesitation.

The last time the elves invited them was a long time ago.

In a council chamber atop the ancient Life Tree.

“Now, most of the human kingdoms and orderly forces in the Northern Continent have responded to the invitation, agreeing to attend this meeting. However, it may take some time for the Western and Eastern Continents to reply due to the long distance.”

Laphia paused, then continued, “As for the distant Southern Continent, if we send the message through overland routes, it will take at least two months to reach there.”

It would take two months to deliver the message. Wouldn’t it take another four to five months for the southern countries to prepare and come to the Elven Empire?

By then, it might be too late.

If they could notify the southern countries in advance and let them make some preparations, perhaps it would increase the chances of survival when the demon army attacked.

“But if we directly cross the Western Mid-Ocean, it will only take half a month.”

Lainekel sighed. “However, without a navigable route through the southern seas, it’s difficult to reach the Southern Continent in such a short time.”

Laphia and Elin nodded slightly. Even the elves did not control the maritime routes through the southern seas. For over a thousand years, the journey to the Southern Continent had always been made either through overland routes in a large circle or along the rugged coastline.

Ji Chen seemed to remember something and said, “A few months ago, a merchant from the Southern Continent passed through my territory, but he disappeared after arriving in the Maple Principality. There are rumors that he seemed to be heading to the Silvermoon Holy City.

If we could find this merchant from the Southern Continent, perhaps we could learn about the maritime route to the Southern Continent.”
