The Silver Moon Empire is one of the two major elven empires on the continent of Azea.

The most fundamental reason why people from other countries dare not provoke the Silver Moon Empire is actually that the individual strength of the Silver Moon Empire is extremely strong, and the chain reaction caused by this is that their national strength is also extraordinary. Coupled with the combat power generated by various chaotic secret experiments, the surrounding kingdoms bordering the Silver Moon Empire have the possibility of confronting the Silver Moon Empire unless they are completely united.

A single country could not be an opponent of the Silver Moon Empire at all.

In addition, the elves of the Silver Moon Empire are not so ignorant elves.

Despite their arrogance in their bones, every once in a while, they would find some excuse to declare war on the surrounding countries with strong development momentum and suppress their development, so that the Silvermoon Empire would always be the leader among all the surrounding countries.

However, no matter how strong the Silvermoon Empire is, it will never be able to hide the problem that their territory is not large - the territory of the Silvermoon Empire is similar to that of a medium-sized kingdom in human society.

In the final analysis, it is because the elven population of the Silvermoon Empire is too small.

Like a human nation, any country that doesn't have millions of people?

Even some of the more powerful kingdoms have tens of millions of dollars.

Not to mention the Empire.

But the Silver Moon Empire, even if you count those sixth-generation elves, is only twenty or three hundred thousand. Of course, if you count the half-elves, captured human slaves, etc., then the scale could be as many as a million.

But even those medium-sized human kingdoms have populations of millions, to say the least.

Therefore, in order to be able to manage such a territory reasonably, the Silver Moon Empire also had to adopt a separate management model - that is, except for one elven empire capital, the entire empire territory was arranged according to a strict route, and a village or outpost would be set up every other distance.

These villages and outposts are actually supply points along the way when the Silvermoon Empire's army is dispatched. The managers of villages and outposts can only be pure-blooded elves - half-elves and humans are not allowed to be actual managers.

The news that there are invaders in the Silvermoon Empire has basically spread throughout the territory of the Silvermoon Empire.

It's just that because the specific size of the invaders is not known, all the villages and outposts in the entire territory have entered alert mode.

Of course, there is no such thing as nervousness.

Because they knew that the four major families of the Silver Moon Empire, the Hurlis family and the Egre family, had already taken action.

They believed that the war would soon be pacified and that all the invaders would soon be driven away. The only thing they need to do is to prepare for war immediately, because once all the invaders are expelled or destroyed, the Silver Moon Empire will definitely hunt down which country these invaders came from, and then they will have an excuse to declare war on them.

This trick has been used several times by the Silver Moon Empire.

And every time, the result is the same: their Silver Moon Empire is the final victor!

At this time, in an elf village on the outskirts of the wormwood forest, several elves who were in charge of standing guard were gathering together to chat because they were too bored.

"Have you heard? It was as if the Knights of the House of Hurlis, a mixture of humans and half-elves, had been defeated. ”

"It's not normal to be defeated." Hearing the words of his companion, another elf spoke, "That knight group is not the main knight order of the Hurlis family, they are just going to test the strength of the invaders. However, if the Hurlis family can use this knight order, the strength of those invaders should not be weak. ”

"It seems that the Aegre family has dispatched six family guardians."

"It can only contain the strong man of the other party." An elf with an indifferent expression next to him spoke, his appearance was indifferent, and he seemed to know all about these things, "You haven't experienced that kind of large-scale war, you won't understand." The role of those top powerhouses, that is, the strong ones responsible for containing the other side, the real final word in the war still depends on the size of the army. ”

"What does that mean?"

"This means that even if those guardians of the Egri family make a move, they can only contain the strong people of the same class on the other side. If you really want to defeat or even kill these invaders, you will have to rely on our imperial army, or the Hurlis family to send a knight order again. ”

Several elves next to him all showed expressions of sudden realization, which made the elf who opened his mouth to analyze can't help but be happy in his heart.

In fact, he was just a small soldier who went into battle with the Legion.

It is through the accumulation of meritorious service in recent decades that the current position of captain has been achieved. However, he believed that with his background as a pure-blooded elf, he would definitely be able to become the supreme governor of a certain village in a hundred years, and then he would be able to marry the goddess in his mind.

"But my lord, have the dark clouds of the wormwood forest expanded?"

Wormwood forests are named after the large number of plants known as wormwood.

This wormwood can be used as a fast-acting medicine for the treatment of trauma after certain processing, and it is also a special product unique to the Elven Empire.

However, just a few days ago, a large number of dark clouds suddenly began to gather in the sky over the still vast wormwood forest.

The appearance of these dark clouds did not attract anyone's attention at first.

However, in the next two days, the temperature around the wormwood forest began to drop sharply - it was still summer, but there was already a low temperature that can only be found in winter, which made several elven villages and outposts around the wormwood forest vigilant.

For a moment, they wondered if it was the result of the fluctuations caused by the war between the invaders and the Guardians of the Egre family.

Several nearby villages also held meetings to discuss the situation, and even sent some people into the wormwood forest to check the situation.

It's just that yesterday, the news brought by these people is obviously not good news.

The vegetation in the wormwood forest has begun to show signs of widespread death. And the closer they got to the depths of the wormwood forest, the lower the temperature became, and the strength of these viewers was not very strong, and they could only go two or three hundred meters deep at most, and then they couldn't hold on, so they had to withdraw.

No need to think about it, everyone knows that there must have been some special change in this wormwood forest.

Therefore, someone has already rushed to the capital to deliver the news to the Egre family and the Hurlis family, after all, this time the operation against the invaders is led by these two families. Now that this is happening in the wormwood forest closest to the front line, it is natural to notify them immediately.

But now, reminded by the person next to him, the elf captain couldn't help but look up.

If before, the dark clouds hovering over the wormwood forest were only about two-thirds the size of the entire forest, now the dark clouds over the wormwood forest have not only covered the entire wormwood forest, but its scale has even exceeded the area of the entire wormwood forest.

"That's not right." The elven captain frowned slightly, "In the afternoon, this dark cloud was not so big, why did it suddenly expand." ”

"I'm starting to feel a little cold." Another elf spoke next to him.

"Did you notice that it seems to be getting darker?"

When they were chatting before, although it was night, it was not so dim with the moonlight.

But at this moment, they suddenly found that the surrounding night seemed to become thicker, and the visibility was constantly weakening.

"That's not right!" This time, hearing the voice of his companion, the elven captain finally looked up and took a closer look.

The next moment, his face became ugly: "This dark cloud...... Expanding! ”

Everyone looked up at the sky with a stunned face, and found that in just such a short period of time, the dark cloud over the wormwood forest had spread beyond the wormwood forest, and it was still expanding. At this rate, in half an hour at most, the elven village where they are located will be covered by this dark cloud, and in less than an hour, the entire elven village will be completely enveloped by this dark cloud.

"It's cold!" There were even elves who began to sneeze.

"Go get something warm." The elven captain couldn't help but speak again.

"What's that?" Suddenly, someone shouted.

The eyes of everyone around couldn't help but immediately follow the direction that the elf was pointing.

I saw that in the shadows, at the edge of the wormwood forest, there were traces of the figure shaking.

At first, because of the distance and the fact that the light had not yet fully adapted, everyone could not see clearly.

But when the gaze was attracted, these people just stared and stared for a moment, and they immediately understood what those constantly shaking figures were.

The figures that slowly walked out of the wormwood forest were not people, but skeletons!

Hundreds of skeletons, armed with long knives, shields, bows and arrows, slowly walked out of the wormwood forest.

Mixed in with them were some slightly more advanced-looking undead creatures: they wore armor and held slashers.

The elven captain even saw an undead creature armed with a huge heavy sword.

With just a cursory glance, he could already see undead creatures such as Black Knights, Black Warriors, Necro Warriors, Bone Warriors, and Bone Warriors. With the size and strength of these undead creatures, not to mention bulldozing their elven village, even a positional battle is more than enough!

"Here...... How could it be here...... So many undead creatures appearing? "There are elves, whispering in disbelief.

"Quick, go ring the alarm!" The elven captain shouted in a deep voice.

Soon, an elf jumped up next to him, and then quickly ran towards the alarm bell in the middle of the village.

But before he could get close to the alarm bell, a gray-white light suddenly shot from a distance, directly through his body.

In an instant, the elf decayed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was as if in the blink of an eye, thousands of years had passed.

The elven captain stared at the figure in the middle of the undead creatures.

It was a pale-faced man wearing an exaggerated set of gray heavy armor.

He was different from the sluggish condition of the other undead around him, but there was a very obvious look in his eyes.

That's the light of wisdom.

"High-level undead...... This is no ordinary undead creature roaming! This is...... Undead Invasion! ”
