"You guys!" After a final glance at the bloodless old captive, who had lost his face and was stunned, the Elven King commanded, "Clean up this place, and call the Commander of the Guard!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" after a salute, the three Guards quickly picked up the remains of the three snowy orc captives, while the other Guards trotted towards the door of the hall to inform the Grand Commander. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Soon, the Great Commander of the Guards came over, and before the Commander of the Guards saluted him, the Elf King directly commanded: "You personally command all the Guards, search the whole city, and every household will not let go, I have received the news that there are still enemies lurking in the city, and there are quite a few of them!"

"Yes!" the Grand Commander of the Guards replied dryly, and immediately turned and left the hall to carry out the Elven King's orders.

Waiting for the Grand Commander of the Guards to leave, the Elf King slowly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window on the side of the hall, looked through the window, looked at the large force of troops that began to move outside, and asked the Shadow in a low voice, "You say, is what the captive said before he died true?"

"I think it's true, judging from the way His Highness Downs has done things in the past, he is not the kind of reckless person who would send a small force into the city to raid, I think, most likely, the purpose of this group of raiders is to buy time for the assembly of large forces!" Shadow replied to the Elven King in a deep voice.

"You say, where will that rebel son of Downs attack from, there are more than 200,000 troops gathered in the city, even if he brings 100,000 people, he is not our opponent, not to mention, if he really brings so many people, it is impossible for us not to find them!" asked the Elven King with a solemn expression.

"I don't know, with my wisdom, I can't guess what His Highness Downs thinks......" Shadow shook his head and sighed.

"If only Dio were here, he's the one who has sabotaged the Downs' plot several times, and I think if he were here, he would have guessed these little tricks of the Downs, right," the Elven King turned his head to look at the Shadow, frowned, and asked, "Haven't you found Hero?"

"No," Shadow replied, shaking his head again, "According to the spies, no one has seen His Highness Erior leave the palace, no one has seen him leave the palace, and even the women who were with him have disappeared at the same time, which is strange. ”

"Do you know what I'm most worried about?" the Elven King asked Shadow very seriously.

"What do you mean?" Shadow had already guessed the answer, but he didn't dare to say it explicitly.

"My biggest concern is that Lyo will cooperate with Downs against me, in that case, I will ......" The Elven King did not finish his sentence, but his meaning was already clear, that is, he thought that he could not fight the cooperation of the two children.

In fact, he didn't know that Wang Xu could pinch him to death by raising his hand, but Wang Xu still recognized him as his father, and Wang Xu was not interested in the hot position like a furnace under his buttocks, if it weren't for this, the elf king would have died a long time ago.

After listening to the Elf King's emotion, the Shadow responded decisively: "You don't have to worry, this thing can't happen, His Highness Dio will never cooperate with His Highness Downs, they are not all the way!"

"Oh...... How do you know?" After listening to Shadow Dao's answer, the Elf King asked him curiously, "Then tell me, what kind of people are they all?"

"This ...... I don't quite understand it either, it's just my feelings, perhaps, my prejudices......" Shadow of regret opening the topic replied slightly embarrassed.

"It's okay, you say, I'll listen to the story, to be honest, I've been guarding against my sons from rebelling all my life, I haven't had much contact with them at all, in my heart, they are all enemies, maybe, they in your mouth are the real them......" The elf king also has a lot of feelings about his betrayal and separation life.

"In my eyes...... His Royal Highness Downs is a very capable person, but his ambition far exceeds his ability," in the end, Shadow still spoke, but when he answered, with ten thousand cautions, he was afraid that he would anger Long Yan: "The conceited Highness Downs has lost himself in failure after failure, and the moment he joins the forces of the Snow Plains Orcs, it will be impossible for him to be recognized by our elven race, and he will never become the elven king." ”

"Hmm......" The Elven King, who was quite satisfied with Shadow's answer, nodded approvingly, and then, he asked Shadow again, "What about Hero, you said that Lady and Downs are completely different, what is the difference?"

"I'm not afraid of being laughed at by you, to be honest, I can't see through who His Highness is until now," Shadow shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly, explaining, "At first, when I heard that he was overshadowed by various Terran nobles in Hill City, I thought he was just an ordinary gentleman. ”

"Hey......" The shadow who felt that his original cognitive level was too naïve, and after shaking his head in embarrassment, he continued: "Later, after I saw that the Dafa Saint Afra, who had always been loyal to you, wanted to take refuge in His Highness Io, I woke up like a dream and realized that His Highness was not so simple, and then, I began to collect information about him......"

"And what conclusion did you come to?" the Elven King asked Shadow in a curious tone.

"Conclusions are no conclusions!" replied the Shadow with a dejected head.

"Oh...... If there is no conclusion, how can you say it?" the Elven King became more and more curious.

"At first, I heard that His Highness Hero's business seemed to be very fond of business, and all those who did business with him said that he was a shrewd businessman, and although His Highness had a good reputation, his reputation for doing business was not good, because when he did business, he would not spare every copper coin!" said the Shadow.

"At this point, he is quite similar to his mother......" After listening to the shadow description of Wang Xu, the shadow of a human girl appeared in the Elf King's mind, that was Wang Xu's mother, and it was also his favorite woman, and the pictures of his lover's voice and smile before his life came to mind, and the corners of the Elf King's eyes couldn't help but moisten.

"Later, I heard that His Royal Highness Io, with his money, repeatedly strengthened the defense of Hill City, and moreover, he also continued to buy off the foreign tribes near Hill City, and even issued a mission in the guild to assassinate the leader of the tribe that was hostile to Hill City, and his cost of doing these things was almost astronomical, from this point I can see that his greed for money is a purposeful accumulation of wealth, and he played a big game of chess...... "Shadow sighed.

"Oh, yes, tell me the details......" The more he listened to the Shadow's story, the more curious the Elven King became about his conflicted son......
