Chapter 582: Personally Break The First s.h.i.+eld
"So? Do you agree with that? Give me an answer! No matter what, I"m still the Elven King. It"s rare for me to invite a human like you personally. "
The Elven King spoke unhappily after seeing that Watson remained rooted to the spot and did not answer him.
The elves behind him chimed in. "His Majesty is right, Little Brat. I advise you to agree to His Majesty"s request quickly. Don"t be so ungrateful. If you miss this opportunity, you will only become a corpse on the road later. In a few days, you may become the excrement of a magical beast. You won"t even be a corpse."
"Wait a minute, Your Majesty. Watson is actually—"
When she saw the elves were getting more outrageous, Delta could not bear to listen to them and wanted to explain the situation. However, before she could finish her words, Watson nodded and revealed an innocent smile. "Alright, as long as you don"t attack my family and friends, I"ll join the elves."
"Don"t worry. I can pardon your family and friends. We are benevolent that way."
The Elven King smiled and waved his hand.
He was already looking forward to the look on King Landhar III"s face when he found out that Watson had defected when they arrived outside the fortress city.
"I"m afraid his nose will be crooked from anger. Just thinking about that scene makes me laugh."
He had recruited Watson partly because of Watson"s talent, but more importantly, because of his ident.i.ty. The Holy Dragon Kingdom"s heir had defected to the elves. That would become an unerasable stain in the Holy Dragon Kingdom"s history.
"King Landhar III, just wait for me. Not only will I destroy your kingdom, I will also beat you until you are in pieces. Then, when I am done torturing you, you will die. "
Gritting his teeth, the Elven King turned around and waved his hand, ordering the elves to continue moving forward. The elven soldiers around them started moving again, and many of their gazes fell on Nia.
"Miss, you must be very panicked after being captured by the fortress city. When we break through the fortress city later, if you"re scared, you can come and hide in my arms."
"Since your master has joined the elves, you"re part of us now. We"ll definitely treat you well. Of course, I mean in bed."
A few soldiers gathered their courage and came to Nia"s side as they marched forward. They made a dirty joke about her.
Nia"s temperament and appearance were top-notch. In addition, she was like a maid by Watson"s side. She did not seem to have a high status, which made many elves think so lowly of her. In their opinion, as long as they broke through the Holy Dragon Kingdom, the humans would be their slaves. When that time came, they could play with whomever they wanted.
The elves" words made Nia"s even colder. If not for Watson"s lack of order, she would have already frozen those reckless elves into ice cubes.
"Your Highness Watson, is it really okay for us to do that?"
Delta also heard the elves" words. She did not say anything about it and only asked Watson. It was normal for a few sc.u.ms to appear among the 100,000 elven soldiers. The key was Watson. She had planned to go to the Elven Kingdom as a messenger of peace to persuade the elves to give up the war, but halfway through, they were intercepted by the Elven King"s army and sent back to the fortress city. What was going on?
She wanted to cry when she thought of the Elven King"s confident invitation to Watson. If the Elven King knew Watson"s plan to go to the Elven Kingdom, she did not know if he would be able to say such words.
"What"s wrong with that? Miss Delta, please calm down. Since the Elven King has sincerely invited me to join the elven army, I can"t refuse him. Let me see if he can break through the barrier. If he can"t even break through the starlight barrier, then there"s no need for me to join the elves."
Watson motioned with his hand for Delta to calm down.
Seeing the teasing smile on Watson"s face, Delta felt even worse. She could tell that Watson was treating the Elven King like a clown, wanting to watch a good show. Under such circ.u.mstances, even if she wanted to stop it, it was too late.
Everyone had different thoughts. The elven army spent several hours rus.h.i.+ng through the ancient forest, arriving at the vast plains outside the original fortress city.
"Everyone, the fortress city is right in front of us. The humans would never expect us to come back in such a short time and charge forward!"
The Elven King stood on top of the Mountain Behemoth Synthetic Beast and waved his hand. The elves behind him immediately roared and charged forward. "Charge!"
The 100,000 elven soldiers stepped forward simultaneously, causing a great shock. The earth shook, and the sound rolled and dispersed the clouds.
The Elven King nodded in satisfaction. However, his happiness did not last long before it broke. The elven soldiers stopped after charging for a few kilometers. They stopped shouting and paced around like headless flies, causing the formation to become chaotic.
"What"s going on?"
The Elven King frowned. He had wanted to use the elven soldiers" shouts to scare the humans in the city and make them panic. Who would have guessed that the elven army would come to a halt halfway through?
"Your Majesty, a huge protective s.h.i.+eld has appeared in front of us. It seems to be very st.u.r.dy. It looks to have been formed by some kind of large-scale magic. We can"t pa.s.s through it."
An elven general ran back from the chaotic crowd in front of them. He stood in front of the Elven King and stomped his feet, replying in a low voice.
"A huge magic protective s.h.i.+eld. Who would have thought that humans would have the time to create such a thing? Why don"t you just use the barrier to break it? You guys are now platinum-tier elites, not silver or gold-tier anymore. You"re useless. Do you really need me to do such a small thing personally?"
"Your Majesty, I"m sorry. The barrier is so strong that we can"t break it. That"s why we came to report to you."
The Elven general appeared to be very embarra.s.sed.
"Hmm, what s.h.i.+eld is so strong that even platinum-tier power can"t break it? Let me see."
After tidying his clothes, the Elven King got up from the synthetic beast. A lush wind domain appeared under his feet, carrying him up into the air. When he was in the air, he could see a few miles away—a starlight barrier was in front of the elven army. The barrier was as high as the sky and as deep as the earth. It covered everything in sight, and its area was immeasurable.
"Everyone knows that the larger the range of the protective s.h.i.+eld, the more energy is needed, and the larger the field, the weaker the defense! Those humans created such a large-scale magic protective s.h.i.+eld. Who knows how much power it needs to consume every day? I wonder how many days it will last. What a stupid move."
The Elven King had an a.s.sessment of the protective s.h.i.+eld in front of him. He belittled the people who created it. In his opinion, there was enough energy to make such a huge protective s.h.i.+eld that it was entirely possible to create a smaller and stronger defensive barrier that could be wrapped around the fortress city. In that way, it would be more difficult for them to attack.
Since the humans gave him a chance, he could not give up. He immediately flew to the front of the barrier with the wind domain. He said, "Only one barrier is enough to stop you from moving forward. Are you really an elf? We have faced so many other difficulties head-on, let alone just one protective s.h.i.+eld in front of us. Even if there were nine magic protective s.h.i.+elds in front of us, we would still pa.s.s through it. I will personally break the first s.h.i.+eld for everyone."
