Chapter 83 High-Level Meeting (1)
Night Elf Kingdom, Silvermoon City
The Elven King Carolinge sat high on the top of the main hall, looking down on the people in the hall with a frown, among these high-ranking people of the Night Elves, Hypatia in military uniform stood out, I don't know whether intentionally or unintentionally, there was always a distance between her and several elders.

Carolin let out a long sigh and said worriedly: "As we all know, in the past few years, the seal of the Demon Realm has been weakening day by day, and there are more and more demons who have crossed into our world......
Caroling's gaze kept sweeping over Hypatia, Tyrell, Moko, and other elders, "I summoned you here today to ask you to discuss the matter of preventing demons. β
"Your Majesty!" Moko came out of the crowd and bowed down and said: "The Demon Seal laid by the gods is located in the territory of the Eternal Forest, which is also the only way for the Demon Race, and we have always had heavy troops there, I don't know how the Ranger General, as the best commander of our Elf Clan, arranged the defense, or, or did she deliberately let go of a large number of Demon Clan?" Moko glanced at Hypatia with bad intentions out of the corner of his eyes, and there was a slight chill in his tone.
Hypatia was about to refute, but Lockheed, the elven high priest in white robes, spoke first: "Elder Moko's words are unfair, everyone should know that although our Night Elf clan is extremely talented but sparsely populated, our total garrison in the Eternal Forest is only 50,000, and these 50,000 troops still need to guard the border and guard against human countries, and as far as I know, the hidden forces of the demons in various parts of Middle-earth are afraid that they have exceeded 100,000 people." β
Lockheed got up, his white clothes fluttering, and slowly paced in front of Elder Moko, "So the rampant rampant demon race is not General Hypatia's fault, and I hope that Elder Moko will remain fair and objective, and be more considerate of her difficulties." The high priest's gentle eyes had a hint of warning.
Hypatia swallowed the words that had just come to her lips, and smiled at Lockheed with some shame, at the last high-level meeting, she confronted the high priest in front of her and completely tore her face with him, but she did not expect that at this juncture, he stood up to defend himself.
"Hmm......" The Elf King glanced at the High Priest and the Ranger General with appreciation, and said: "The High Priest is right, the Ranger General has always been loyal to his duties, and has made great contributions to my Night Elf clan, which can be described as a high level of hard work, my elf land is adjacent to the Demon Realm Seal, but the Demon Race has never caused too serious disasters in our territory, I have to say that there is a credit to the Ranger General." β
"However...... the Elven King changed his words and said worriedly, "If we do nothing and let the demons wreak havoc everywhere, in the long run, we will definitely suffer a catastrophe, and even if we throw all the armies of our clan into the Eternal Forest, it will be useless." β
"So, let's discuss a good way to deal with the demon crisis. β
"Your Majesty, let me say a few words about the demon race. Lockheed bowed slightly to the throne, and a gentle smile on his face made people feel like a spring breeze.
"High priest, here, your cultivation and knowledge are the most profound, and you have any opinions, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Looking at the high priest's warm smile, the worries in the Elf King's heart seemed to be alleviated a lot.
Lockheed nodded slightly to the Elf King, got up and came to the center of the main hall, and talked eloquently, "This Demon Seal is an epic magic array set up by the gods more than a thousand years ago in order to protect Middle-earth, with the wisdom of mortals, neither we elves nor humans can peep into the mystery of this magic array, therefore, when there is a problem with the seal, we have no power to strengthen the seal, we can only pray to the omnipotent gods." β
"Well, that's a good point...... all the elves nodded in praise after hearing this, but Hipatia's brows furrowed slightly.
"In other words, as long as we remain devotion to the gods and follow their teachings, the merciful and great gods will surely help restore peace and stability to Middle-earth......"
"Listen to me, the king, the high priest, and the elders. Hypatia came out in line, and a crisp voice rang out throughout the hall.
"Please, Ranger General. The Elven King raised his hand.
Hypatia bowed slightly, and said: "As for the problem of the demon crisis, I think we can't just blindly pray for the mercy of the gods, but also find a way to solve it ourselves. β
As soon as these words came out, the ministers were in an uproar, and they all exchanged heads and ears, accusing Hypatia of arrogance.
The smile on Lockheed's face immediately froze, and he asked coldly: "Then what does General Hypatia have on the demon crisis, don't you think that we can restore the demon seal?"
"Of course we can't restore the seal, High Priest. Hypatia shook her head and said: "Not long ago, I used spiritual magic to forcibly read the memory of a high-level general of the blood clan and learned that the Demon Realm Seal has actually existed in name only, and the Demon Clan has already found a way to cross the seal, and now as long as they find enough magical energy, they can safely pass through the seal, and the disappearance of this Demon Realm Seal is only a matter of time." β
"Is the Ranger General trying to say, let's surrender to the demons together?" Moko interrupted her in a strange way.
"Of course not! We can raise an army to resist, Elder Moko! You must know that although the demon clan is powerful, there are many internal branches and factions, and the current demon world is even more in civil war, we can completely use their internal contradictions to defeat them, just like the Dark Horse King a thousand years ago!"
"But the Dark Horse King ultimately failed, my Ranger General. The High Priest smiled faintly and shook his head disappreciatively, "Hypatia, there's no denying that you're a genius, but your idea is too crazy and dangerous. β
Lockheed spread his hands and said loudly: " For tens of thousands of years, even the almost omnipotent gods have not been able to eliminate the demon race, the reason for this, this demon race is also some of the belief in the demon god, the demon god blessed by the race, they are far from as simple as we think, when the dark horse king Tianzong genius, led his army invincible, trying to concentrate the elite of the earth world to complete his work, but he is only a mortal after all, and in the end it is difficult to escape the defeat of the army, as we all know, the fiasco is a disaster for the entire Middle-earth world, we need to always take precautions, never be arrogant, godless, repeat the mistakes of the dark horse kingοΌβ
After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, and after the legendary hero, the strongest man in the history of Middle-earth, was defeated in the expedition to the Demon Realm, the most outstanding generation of elite powerhouses in the entire Middle-earth world who followed him was almost wiped out, and the magnificent Dark Horse Empire also disintegrated, and the entire continent fell back into chaos and strife for thousands of years.
"So, High Priestess, tell me, what is the best way to solve this demon crisis?" the Elven King asked.
"According to historical experience, as long as we maintain our devout belief in the gods, there will naturally be gods on the demon side to suppress them, but for those demons who have crossed and lurked in the Middle-earth world, the gods have no time to take care of them, and we need to destroy these demon advance troops by ourselves, of course, this is also a test of our faith by the gods......"
"However, these demon advance forces are not easy to deal with, and we need to find allies who can fight against the demons together with us. Lockheed analyzed unhurriedly.
"Who does the high priest think we should ally with?" the elven king thoughtfully when he heard this.
The high priest thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, we should ally with those human empires who sincerely believe in the gods, although a war broke out between us and them a few years ago, on the one hand, they are also facing the threat of the demon race with us after all, on the other hand, as a believer in the gods, he will definitely listen to the teachings of the gods sincerely. In addition, those human empires, such as the St. John's Empire, their strong national strength is enough to deal with some demons who are not in the climate. β
However, most human beings are ignorant. The Elven King voiced his concerns, "You know, Middle-earth has been quiet for thousands of years, and many of them have not received enough education at all, and they are completely ignorant of the situation of the demons. β
Lockheed paused and continued: "Your Majesty, it is true that those commoners of the human race are incompetent people with mediocre talents, and they are not worth relying on, but not long ago, I had the good fortune to come into contact with some of the upper nobles of the human nation, who are well-read, well-versed in ancient and modern times, elegant in their manners, and pious in their beliefs, making them ideal allies. β
"Your Highness, an alliance against the demons is a good strategy, but don't put too much faith in those human nobles, as the rulers of the empire, they are greedy, selfish, shameless and cunning, and we need to be vigilant against them at all times. Hypatia looked around and saw that everyone looked disapproving, so she further emphasized, "Believe me, I have dealt with those human nations for many years, and I know a little about their condition. β
"But they deserve our wooing. Elder Moko expressed his support for the High Priest on the side, and he smiled meaningfully: "After all, the Human Empire is powerful, and the aristocracy, as the rulers, can increase our chances of winning by bringing them over. β
"Elder Moko is overestimating those human empires. Hypatia shook her head with a wry smile, "Although those human empires seem to be extremely powerful, their governments are corrupt and rotten, and their societies are divided and full of contradictions. The nobility of the human race is not a force to be trusted and relied on, and just forming an alliance with them will not have any deterrent to the demons. β
"But after all, the human nobles control a million heroes, and if a war starts, they can ......," Elder Moko debated unconvinced.
"Just bribe these nobles with a few high-grade magic crystal cores, and you can get any information you want. Hypatia shrugged, "No matter how many of their armies there are, it will be difficult for them to form a truly powerful combat power, and besides, the demons have infiltrated and lurked in Middle-earth for a long time, and many human nobles have long been bought. β
Mokoben was about to retort and opened his mouth, only to find that he had nothing to say.
"Who else do we think the Ranger General should ally with?dwarves or goblins?" the Elven King looked at Hipatia with interest.
"Your Majesty, we should form an alliance with the people, and resist the invasion of the demons together with those who are being killed by the demons, and the people of all races and all faiths!" Hypatia's crisp and firm voice resounded throughout the hall again.
