Chapter 52: The Elven Refugees

In the face of the frequent appearance of the undead, she submitted several reports to her superiors, but the reply she received always only asked her to destroy the small group of undead in the forest, and did not say a word about the Pale Mage Tower, which she strongly suspected. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info even, after her perseverance and repeated reports, she was severely reprimanded.

However, despite this, Pehince did not want to give up. She was always suspicious of the Pale Mage Tower, so one day, she defied Nancy's ban and infiltrated the territory of the Pale Mage Tower with two loyal ranger squads to find out.

It has to be said that Pehins's instincts are quite correct. When she defied the ban and entered the forbidden area, she did discover the reason for the appearance of the undead - the infamous Church of the Damned!

The Church of the Damned is a notorious and evil organization. Despite the name of the Church, the Church of the Damned is not a religious organization, and almost ninety percent of its members are mages, and ninety percent of the mages are mages of the Necromantic faction. Their beliefs varied, most of them were unbelievers, and a few were followers of evil gods.

These necromancers have come together to work hard to create a terrestrial necromancer under the leadership of the legendary ancient lich Raisu. In history, they have made waves on the mainland many times, and even had the experience of truly establishing the realm of the dead. Of course, most of the final results were suppressed by the righteous camp. For any living being, the necromancy will always be an enemy of the heavens.

But despite the numerous failures of the Church of the Damned, the necromancer's organization has never been truly destroyed. Even, as the leader of the Church, the cunning and legendary Lich Rays, he has never been defeated.

As a ranger general, Pehins, in her three hundred years of life, had certainly heard of the name of the Church of the Damned. Even, when she was just an adult in her hundred years old and was just an ordinary soldier in the Ranger unit of the Nancy Elven Kingdom, she once fought against the undead army of the Church of the Damned in the Duchy of Severon, which had been wiped out in the middle of the continent. Back then, the alliance of the four southern kingdoms of the human race, as well as the joint efforts of many churches, and even the elves sent reinforcements, they completely exterminated those undead and killed a large number of necromancers.

Unexpectedly, two hundred years later, these guys will resurrect again, and the target is directly aimed at the Nancy Royal Court in the Central Mountains.

In the midst of a sea of undead large enough to completely submerge her and her men, Pehin escaped from the forbidden land with her superior skills. Despite her heavy losses, at least she lived to bring the news of the Church of the Curse back to the Elven realm.

But she was greeted not with a reward, but with an order to suspend her.

Pehince was furious about the punishment of suspension. She could never have imagined that the important information exchanged for the death of dozens of elven rangers would be completely ignored by the upper echelons, and even punished them, for the ridiculous reason of 'stepping into the forbidden area without permission and violating the laws of the royal court'. But when she calmed down, it was not difficult to think that I am afraid that the upper echelons of Nancy's elven kingdom would have known that the pale mage tower belonged to the Cursed Church, and it was even possible that the elven royal court had already had some dirty py deals with these necromancers.

Pehinth wanted to know what it was for, but her boss, the Legendary Ranger Lord, didn't tell her why. This is especially incomprehensible, the enmity between elves and necromancers has a long history, and most recently, when the Church of the Damned was in rebellion on the mainland, the Nancy court also accepted the invitation of the four southern countries to send reinforcements. It's only been two hundred years (two hundred years is not too long for an elf), and the elven king can go along with the Church of the Damned?

Even if the Elven King was bewitched or affected by a spell, no one in the Royal Council would stop the King? Even if the Council of Kings fails to stop the king, the Druid Church and the Temple of Hilo, which have a lot of influence in the Elven realm, should always react, right? But still no.

In the years following her suspension, Pehin tried many times to make a scene, but almost all of them failed, and she even lived a life of incarceration. During that time in prison, she discovered that there were many people like herself, such as one of her friends, Cecilia, the high priest of the Temple.

The two used to be friends, but now they are suffering together in the water prison, and they are both imprisoned for cursing the Mage Tower, so it is even more heart-to-heart.

So, with the help of some friends in the elven society, the two who were lucky enough to successfully escape from the elven water prison with some people. They originally wanted to reveal the matter of the Cursed Church to the whole elven kingdom, but they were suppressed first, and they had to take some like-minded elves to embark on the road of escape.

After three months, some of the elves who fled with them died at the hands of the pursuers of the royal court, some were separated for various reasons, and more were captured. The original large team of more than 400 people has only half of it left. If it weren't for the contact with an elven merchant who had been running between Florence and Sand Harbor all year round, I am afraid that none of them would have thought of running away.

To be honest, in fact, Wang Ting didn't really make up his mind to kill them all. The reason is very simple, a ranger general, a high-ranking priest, with more than four hundred elves, among which there are even fewer warriors, what is it for an entire country? If the Elven Court really valued their escape so much, they wouldn't even be able to get out of the Central Mountains, let alone take months to travel from the Dark Forest all the way south, leaving the Central Mountains, and then walking all of Florence from north to south, taking a sea boat.

But despite this, they are now at the end of their rope. After leaving the port of Tarence in Florence, they had only resupplied in the harbor of Sand Bay once, and had been drifting at sea since then. No one wanted to accept them, neither the Duchy of Florence nor the western part of Pudri, none of these human nations had any intention of accepting an elven tribe. As for Hindlaire to the east, it's even more nonsense, the relationship between elves and orcs is not very good, and Hindlaire's main race is half-orcs, accounting for sixty percent of the total population.

They wandered on the sea, but they could not find a place to stay.
