On an ancient tree, which was obviously much taller and older than the surrounding trees, in one of the most spacious treehouses, the king of the elven clan, as well as the most powerful elders, and other high-ranking people gathered together to discuss something in a tense atmosphere.

A middle-aged elf man pinched his eyebrows with one hand, and his tone was full of tiredness.

"Elders, what you read just now is the battle report for the recent period. Today's battle damage is also out, with a total of 53 valiant fighters wounded, including two silver-level shooters. Fortunately, they were all slightly or severely wounded, and none of them were killed in battle. ”

This handsome middle-aged man with a melancholy look on his face is the current elven king of the elven clan, that is, the father of Princess Alice.

Opposite him was an old man who was very old, with gray hair, beard and eyebrows.

Don't look at his age, as if a gust of wind can blow him down. But in the entire Elven Royal Court, no one dared to have the slightest disrespect for him. Even the Elven King is no exception.

This is not only because Whitebeard is the great elder of the elf clan, but more importantly, he is the first powerhouse of the elf clan, a mid-level saint of the holy level!

"Why are there so many injured people?" The Great Elder frowned and asked with a slight dissatisfaction.

The Elf King smiled wryly and said, "Recently, the creatures of the abyss have not known what has gone crazy, the offensive is becoming more and more crazy, and the number of sorties is increasing. We struggled to support the defenses built by the Elven Court, and we were able to repel them with great difficulty. Otherwise, it would not be surprising that the number of casualties would have multiplied several times. ”

The Great Elder snorted angrily, "Damn! ”

Sitting beside him was the Second Elder of the Elven Clan. The body shape is slightly fat by human standards, and the face is round, which makes people feel close. However, if you look at it by the standards of the elven clan, the appearance of this second elder is a bit unacceptable.

The elven tribe is rich in handsome men and beautiful women, which is recognized by the mainland. But just like a certain country and a certain city on the mainland are rich in beauties, it does not mean that all the women who come out there have excellent appearances.

The same is true in the elves, whose proportion of men and women are significantly more handsome and beautiful than humans. But there are cases where the appearance is average, or even ugly.

This second elder is obviously such an "individual case".

The strength of the Great Elder is second to none in the Elven Clan, and his age and generation are also the largest. Starting from the Elf King, he is counted as a grandfather. The second elder is a little lower, and he is the uncle of the elf king.

And his strength is second only to the Great Elder and the Elf King, and he is also the last saint-level powerhouse of the Elf Clan.

These three people are the pillars of the elven race today, and they are the top fighting force of the elf race.

The Second Elder pondered for a moment and spoke, "Those people from the Bright Sect, have there been any recent movements?" ”

The Elf King shook his head, his face a little unsightly.

"Every time the creatures of the abyss attack, they go to the front line. It's just that I just watched, and I never shot once. According to them, the current relationship between the two sides is uncertain, and it is unreasonable to make a rash move. ”

The second elder didn't speak, he naturally knew what the "relationship" in the mouth of the Bright Sect meant.

The Elven King added, "They did propose that even if the relationship was not confirmed, in order to increase mutual trust between each other, the troops of the Holy See of Light stationed outside could be transferred to the Elven Court to help us defend against the creatures of the Abyss." ”

"But I didn't say yes."

"What!" The white-bearded Great Elder Huo Ran stood up, very angry, like a lion who had been angry.

Fortunately, the elf king didn't promise to say it in time, otherwise I am afraid that he would be scolded by him.

Even so, the Great Elder was still furious.

"Little trick-or-treat, you're doing the right thing. Hum! What is the idea of the Bright Sect, who in the entire Elven Royal Court is still unclear. Just a few of them have entered the residence of our elves, and we have already made us uneasy. If they let their army come in, I don't know how many incidents will be generated! ”

The Elf King smiled bitterly, but had to nod in response, after all, the Great Elder was praising himself.

But you praise and praise, can you not call out my nickname when I was a child! I'm also an elf king, and my daughters are so old, can I save some face for us?

There were a total of four people in this top meeting of the elven clan, in addition to the three giants composed of three saint-level powerhouses, and one was the three elders of the elven clan. He is the same generation as the Elf King, but his strength is a little worse, and he is now in the Golden Fighter Great Perfection realm.

I saw him say with concern: "The current situation is getting more and more severe, and the masters of the Bright Sect are standing by and watching, neither working nor contributing. Relying on our elven race alone, even in the home of the forest, relying on the fortifications operated by the elven court for many years, to fight against a steady stream of abyssal creatures with an overwhelming advantage in numbers, the most optimistic result is only a crushing victory. ”

The second elder also continued: "Moreover, the high-level leaders of the Bright Sect did not help, but also lobbied everywhere to win over our clansmen. Now many people are starting to waver a little, and some of the high-ranking people in the clan have even openly turned to their side, waving their flags and shouting for the Bright Sect, and urging our elven clan to move closer to the Bright Sect. ”

"Humph!" The Great Elder blew his beard and glared, and he almost ran away again, "What is moving closer to the Holy See of Light, it is surrender, it is submission, just waiting for when it will be swallowed by others." These rat-eyed things, the elves will be destroyed in their hands sooner or later! ”

"And with these ......"

The Third Elder paused here and looked at the Great Elder's face before continuing.

“…… With the help of these 'traitors', the Bright Sect has almost a clear understanding of the details of our race. Our delay in the marriage of the princess also made the other party see some clues. They used this to spread the word that the Elven King and a few of our elders were hostile to the Holy See of Light and were unwilling to ask for their help. Some clansmen listened to the rumors and began to complain about the decisions of the clan's higher-ups. ”

The Great Elder was about to be angry again, but the palm he was holding hovered in the air, and he didn't slap it down for a long time.

When one or two black sheep appear, the Great Elder can also accuse and reprimand. But if there is a change in the hearts of the entire elven clan, even if the Great Elder wants to be angry, he will not be able to find the object of anger.

No matter how powerful he is, can he still slap all the elves to death?

The Great Elder sat down abruptly, panting.

The second elder was also full of sorrow, turned to the elf king, and asked, "Alice, that little girl, still haven't you found it?" ”

Before the Elf King could answer, the three elders on the side exclaimed in surprise.

"Listen to the second elder, Princess Alice really ran away from home and is not in the elven court?"
