541: Is this still domestic?
“Roar!”
On the city wall of Moon Viewing City.
A beast’s roar echoed.
An Elven warrior, riding a white tiger mount and clad in exquisite silver armor, leaped onto the city wall.
Her fur was entirely silver-white, and her eyebrows were as long as silver whiskers, sweeping diagonally towards her temples, almost level with her pointed Elven ears.
This was one of the characteristics of an aged Elf; the longer the eyebrows, the older the age.
However, her appearance was almost indistinguishable from a young Elf, only more mature in Aura.
Elves only show signs of aging in their appearance just before death.
The aged Elf, riding the white tiger, scanned the dispirited Elven guards, her gaze falling upon Aila, and asked, “Acting Holy Maiden, why aren’t we sallying forth to meet the enemy?”
“Elder Taelan.”
Aila bowed slightly to the aged Elf.
Elder Taelan before her was one of the ancient powerhouses of the Elf World, older than the Dark Matron and Mafa Nu Feng, but she was also stuck at the Peak Emperor Tier, her strength even less than that of the younger powerhouses of the present day.
For some unknown reason, the Elf World seemed to be shackled.
To this day, only Elves from the Mythical Era had broken through the Emperor Tier.
But this still could not shake Taelan’s status.
As soon as she appeared, riding her white tiger, she was like a stabilizing force, calming the rapidly spreading despair.
“I ask you, why aren’t we sallying forth to meet the enemy? Are we just going to watch the Holy Land be destroyed?”
Elder Taelan asked Aila again, her tone calm, but a hint of anger in her eyes.
“According to intelligence from the Dark Elves, the Orcs’ goal is to slaughter the Elves and summon an Evil God.”
“We must minimize casualties as much as possible and await reinforcements.”
Aila explained respectfully.
Elder Taelan asked, “Whose reinforcements?”
“The Divine Emperor.”
“The Divine Emperor?”
A hint of disappointment flashed in Elder Taelan’s eyes as she said, “Aila, how can you believe humans from another world? We know nothing about them.”
Aila was silent for a long time before saying, “Elder, I once thought I understood the Night Elves very well too.”
Hearing this, Elder Taelan paused slightly and looked down at the city.
War drums boomed, and howls were long and drawn out.
In the green “torrent,” there were purple “spots,” scattered like stars.
Indeed, before the figures of the Night Elves appeared in front of the Orc army, no one believed they would betray the world.
And all of this had been hinted at earlier.
Before the Orcs attacked, a team of Dark Elves had infiltrated Moon Viewing City, bringing a joint letter from the Elven Prince and the Dark Matron.
The two leaders of the Elven race only said three things in the letter.
One, the Night Elves had already rebelled.
Two, the Orcs’ goal was to slaughter the Elves and summon an Evil God.
Three, they must avoid casualties and await the Divine Emperor’s reinforcements.
Aila and Elder Taelan did not believe the first point.
But reality slapped them in the face; the Night Elf army was already mixed in with the Orc army.
With this lesson learned, Aila firmly believed the second and third pieces of information.
It was she who ordered the Crescent Moon Elves to retreat into the city, abandoning the defense of the Radiant Moon Forest.
“The Divine Emperor…”
“Can we truly trust these monsters from another world?”
Elder Taelan worried.
Humans, these monsters, had provided her with no small amount of experience points.
And now, they had to rely on monsters for salvation.
To be honest, in the hearts of all Crescent Moon Elves, this was even more preposterous than the Night Elves’ betrayal.
“Elder, we have no choice.”
Aila said, then looked towards the black-purple eye floating high in the sky behind the Orc army formation, “In this War, Elves are merely consumables, the Elf World is merely a battlefield; the true combatants are the Demonic Eye and the Divine Emperor.”
“Then, when will the reinforcements arrive?”
Elder Taelan murmured, looking at the warriors lined up to meet the enemy behind the city wall, muttering to herself, “Having lost the Holy Land, our strength is even weaker.”
Boom!
No sooner had Elder Taelan finished speaking than a rumble echoed above Moon Viewing City.
All the Crescent Moon Elves dodged in surprise, thinking the Orcs had launched an aerial attack.
However, the attack they imagined did not come.
Only a sword, suspended upside down, appeared in the misty night sky.
The sword was square and exquisite, completely unlike the craftsmanship of the Elf World.
Aila and Elder Taelan exclaimed simultaneously, “The Divine Emperor has arrived!”
“Hui Yue?”
In the Natural Divine Realm, Qin Yang had just released “Majesty Suspended in the Sky” through the kunlun mirror and was about to send 1,000 Tiance Imperial Guards over, but he saw a familiar figure in the kunlun mirror.
Sword Spirit Hui Yue!
Qin Yang and Hui Yue hadn’t met for a long time, but he still remembered her appearance.
At this moment, the Elf standing on the city wall of Moon Viewing City looked exactly like Hui Yue!
“Could it be Hui Yue’s twin sister?”
Qin Yang speculated.
At this time, Hui Yue was still inside Ye Qiuning’s sword.
Therefore, the Elf on the city wall could not be Hui Yue.
But it could be confirmed that she must be related to Hui Yue in some way.
“Indeed, this Sword Spirit’s identity is not simple.”
A smile played on Qin Yang’s lips; he had long expected it.
Having been involved in the Elf World for so long, he also had some understanding of it.
The leader of the Crescent Moon Elves was the “Saintess Hui Yue.”
This was precisely the name displayed on Sword Spirit Hui Yue’s panel.
From this, it seemed that Hui Yue was just a title, not her real name.
Qin Yang didn’t care about this.
What was most important now was to quickly deploy troops to ensure that Moon Viewing City would not be massacred before he achieved the Tai Xu Primordial Body.
Thinking of this, he reached out and chanted into the mirror, “Tiance Imperial Guards.”
Instantly, intense golden light erupted, shining into the Elf World through the kunlun mirror.
The Crescent Moon Elves in Moon Viewing City only saw golden light pillars descending from the sky, more and more, becoming denser and denser, forming a golden wall of light outside the city wall.
This shocking scene made all the Elves instinctively take a step back.
They keenly perceived that the Aura released from the “light wall” was extremely powerful.
Soon, the light wall dissipated, but beneath the city wall, a faint glow reflected upwards.
Even the crystal-textured Moon Viewing City was illuminated, shimmering with golden mist.
Aila and Elder Taelan looked down and saw a golden army formation below the city wall!
They were warriors clad in golden armor, wielding halberds, shields, and bows and arrows.
The murderous Aura emanating from them was terrifying to behold!
“Tiance… Imperial Guards!?”
“They are all Peak Hero Rank!”
Elder Taelan exclaimed.
The Elves’ innate skill, Elven Keen Eye, could not see the attributes and Rank of these Golden Armor Warriors, only their names.
But the sheer Aura alone made Elder Taelan believe that this was a powerful battle group composed of Peak Heroes.
Their numbers were well over a thousand!
“Are these the reinforcements?”
“They’re too elite!”
Elder Taelan was utterly shocked, her eyes trembling.
1,000 Peak Heroes… in the Elf World, that would be the elite of the elite.
In fact, after a hundred years of War, the Elf World could no longer gather so many Hero Rank Professionals.
But what Taelan didn’t know was that the elites in her eyes were merely the most basic summons under the Divine Emperor.
The true elites had not yet arrived.
Just then, a voice rang out.
“Where did this place take me?”
“Is this still within the country?”
Aila and Taelan froze simultaneously and turned to look.
They saw a human, dressed in a loose robe and wearing a crown, standing behind them with a bewildered expression.
Taelan looked with her Elven Keen Eye, and the other party’s name immediately appeared before her.
