"After the death of the human race, we have lost the value of staying in the Five Kingdoms. When the orcs occupy this place, the empire will send an emissary who is proficient in getting along with the orcs into this land. ”

Armed with limited dry food and water, Annis from the Elven Empire and his retinue Jared rode on horseback, active in a rocky area. Behind them, there was also a contingent of servants of about 20 people.

Listening to the words of the Emissary of Annis, with some regret, his retinue Jared seemed to be disdainful of the orcs, "Those savage creatures covered in hair, who only know how to plunder and graze?" I don't see anything better than humans. I don't know what the Empire thinks when it decides to let disobedient orcs replace obedient humans. ”

Annis smiled, "Jared. You will never understand that in the eyes of the noble patriarchs of the Empire, humans are the race that poses a threat to the elves, because they have the creative power and curiosity to surpass other races. A secret letter from the Empire states that a crystal ball of true knowledge is in the hands of humans. The patriarchs of the aristocracy believed that pets should not play with their owners' toys. ”

The shiny river, like a narrow path, winds between the undulating rocks, shimmering with the sparkling water.

Annis soon saw hundreds of leaping fangfish, swimming swiftly down the river. And such a scene is extremely unusual.

His profound knowledge has taught him that the toothfish is a relatively rare carnivorous fish and is extremely sensitive to the smell of blood. Combined with the current shape shì, Annis judged that in the lower reaches of the Agate River, a large number of floating corpses were likely to have accumulated.

"Your Excellency, according to the map markings, as soon as we cross the stone bridge downstream, we will enter the territory of the large town of Lol Cardin."

The words of Jared, the guard's attendant, did not interest Annis. "Is there a difference? Along the way, we have seen all kinds of ruins. ”

Before he could finish speaking, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps from behind the rocks in front of him.

There were not only a few ogre screams, but also the battle cries of human soldiers.

"Kill, not one left, long live Lorkadan! ~~”

After the icefield werewolf ransacked the place, there are still human soldiers left?

Annis didn't have any room to think about, and in the blink of an eye, five ogres, covered in blood, rushed from behind the rocks and rampage from the front.

"Emissary, beware!" The guard Jared quickly pulled out his arc-shaped long sword, and rode his horse in front of his master, just two extremely fast sword lights, and the two ogres on the left and right, who had just raised the mace, had already fallen to the ground with blood shooting from their necks.

Whoosh Whoosh

With this pause, the ogre's speed was slowed. The sound of feather arrows immediately followed, and the remaining three ogres were all shot in the back of the heart.

Immediately after, five or six professional soldiers who had caught up from under the rock, silver armor and swordsman costumes, soon entered Annis's eyes.

"Surround these two!"

Without waiting for Annis to ask, the Radiant Swordsman, armed with a bow and arrow, was the first to show an unfriendly attitude.

Still not waiting for Annis to speak, the first person to be dissatisfied was Jared, the personal guard retinue of the envoy of the Elven Empire, "Bold! In the name of the Star-Moon Empire, I order you to retreat! In front of you is Lord Annis from the elven world, he is the diplomatic envoy of the Star and Moon Empire to the human world, and even the werewolves of the ice plain have to consciously retreat when they see us! ”

Hearing Jared's identity, Annis lifted his cloak to reveal the elven face and pointed ears below, and the muscles of the Radiant Swordsman's cheeks drooped loosely in surprise and surprise. But looking at the other party's face, the small group of swordsmen quickly put away their weapons.

Elves are rumored to have pointed ears and handsome looks.

"You can't be wrong with such characteristics."

The Radiant Swordsman, who looked a little older, muttered softly. He stepped forward and bowed to Annis, "Dear Elven Emissary, Lord Annis, I must declare to you that the entire human world is on the verge of collapse from dawn today. The great King of Lorkadan decreed that during the war, anyone who set foot in the vicinity of the town of Lorkadan, as well as the towns of the Agate River and the Black Hill of the Mountains, must be subject to the jurisdiction of our king. ”

Everyone knows that elves are the powerhouses of this world, so it is natural for each race to show respect when they meet the elven messengers representing the Star-Moon Empire.

But how did they know that the human world was about to collapse?

Did they already know that the orc army had landed from the coast?

It was the first reaction that crossed Annis's mind. Because even he had received a top-secret letter from the Star-Moon Empire not long ago, and then he had left the south.

"Welcome to the emissary from the Elven World Star-Moon Empire, you must come with me next...... Well? ”

The elder Radiant Swordsman should have asked the noble messenger to go to Lol Cardin, but when the corner of his eye lingered at the feet of the servants on foot, neither human nor elf, the swordsman quickly realized that something was wrong.

These cloak servants, they are not humans or elves.

When the sword was drawn, the eyes of the radiant swordsman were so cold that they could freeze the other party in an instant, and they shattered in an instant.

Condescendingly, it was another sudden attack, and without the slightest hesitation or pity, a sword flash flashed, and the swordsman swung his sword sharply, slicing the throat of a servant.

"Don't move! Jared. Annis shouted to stop his only elven retinue, and then let a small team of Radiant Swordsmen slaughter the poor minions on foot. The reason is just that he has spotted a team of fierce knights who have appeared nearby.

Above the banner was a soaring golden dragon, identical to the pattern on the armor of these swordsmen.

"Don't let one go!"

In the distance, the order of the knight commander Achilles was heard, and the silver dragon knights of Loel Cardin rode their horses and galloped.

Riding spears with long swords, and fierce unicorn horses.

Killing 20 first-order professionals armed with simple weapons and without armor protection is effortless.

With the last target left, Achilles personally rode his horse to chase after him, and after chasing for a distance of nearly 30 meters, he slashed the opponent in the back of the neck with a sword.

This caused Annis's pupils to constrict. "Hmph, a third-order knight. Among human beings, it can be regarded as a general, but what can it be. Such strength is not qualified to be a general in the Star Moon Empire. ”

"You, elf?" Achilles stared at Annis, glanced at the 20 corpses of different races on the ground, and frowned.

He had already captured Mainnes, the chief of the Broken Bone Tribe, but he didn't expect to capture an elf and his retinue.

When Annis once again identified himself as his messenger. and a peer scroll signed by each of the five kingdoms of the earth.

Achilles just glanced at it and threw the scroll into the river. "Lord Annis, the seals of the Five Kingdoms are of no use to the Lol Cardans. Since you are an emissary who knows humanity well, you should know about the thousand-year-old empire. We, the Lol Cardans, obey only our own king. ”

While saying this, Achilles wiped the blood from the sword's body and instructed his subordinates to conduct a detailed examination and search of the corpse on the ground.

In Annis's eyes, this golden dragon knight was even more rude than he imagined, and he didn't take the identity of the elven messenger into account at all. Therefore, he had to remind the other party, "Kill me or imprison me, the air cavalry of the Star-Moon Empire will slaughter your territory." ”

Achilles smiled faintly, "The premise is that someone will inform your empire of your death." And I promise not to let it happen. ”

Without waiting for a response, Achilles continued, "Don't worry, I won't do this without my king's orders." ”

The Knights rode on, and three hundred glorious swordsmen, armed with a prisoner cart containing Mains and two elves on horseback, reached the flat lower reaches of the river, where Annis witnessed a large number of floating ogres, as high as a mountain, and emitted a foul putrid smell.

At the moment, Anis is not able to determine whether King Lol Cardin will harm his personal safety. The elven birds he brought with him were all killed, along with his minions, and he was unable to deliver the news to the outside world.

"Let's go—"

For the next ten minutes, Annis walked along the dirt road along the rocky edge of the river, slowing down from time to time to look in the direction of the town of Lorkadan. Half of the town was reduced to a ruined territory, apparently having just experienced a brutal war.
