Chapter 4: The Dark Elves
The origin of the Dark Elves is impossible to verify, but even their mortal enemies, the Nature Elves, cannot deny that the Dark Elves and the Nature Elves must be in the same vein when they are born. The most convincing rumor is that some of the nature elves broke their oath to believe in Frey, thus losing Frey's protection, and in order to distinguish them from their own followers, they eventually turned the skin color of these rebellious elves to black.
It is rumored that the dark elves are greedy for power and money in the human world, and they have directed the yearning for freedom of the natural elves to the other extreme - ignoring the rules, indulging in disorderly life, and not even opposing killing and sin.
As a result, these Dark Elves who have betrayed the Creed of the Nature Elves are not only wanted by the Nature Elves, but even the kindest of them will be killed when confronted by the Dark Elves - they consider it a disgrace to their own people, a violation of faith, and a destruction of order. Among the other forces, the dark elves are not welcome.
Therefore, most of the dark elves live a life away from the crowd, relying on their racial talents and specialties to undertake dark jobs such as assassinating powerful people and capturing elves. Within the Dark Elves, they like to refer to themselves as "Night Elves".
- The Spirit of Light and Darkness
For more than two months, Kaye also hunted with Hulk from time to time. From the beginning, Hulk shot, and in the end, Kaye gradually became the majority.
Since there are not many high-level Warcraft in Castith, relying on Charlotte's advantage and Hulk on the side, the mid-level Warcraft has become Kaye's best practice opponent during this time.
And for some reason, Kaye always felt that his strength had improved very quickly during this time, and he didn't know if it was because of the characteristics of the Ryan family after the coming-of-age ceremony, or because there were mid-to-high-level demonic beast cuisines every day during this time.
In short, through more than a month of continuous cultivation, he has broken through the 7th level of the Sacrifice Lord and reached the 8th level of the Heroic Lord. It's just that he still doesn't know what to do about the mysterious energy breath in his body, and it's already late September, almost 2 months since Augustine fell into a deep sleep, but he still hasn't responded.
Kaye thought it wasn't a good idea to keep waiting like this, and he didn't know what was going on with Bledsoe right now, and it was almost time to take a look.
On this day, after completing his personal training in the morning, Kaye called Hulk to go hunting with him.
At first, Kaye wondered if the two of them had been a little too evil in Kestis during this time, and they didn't encounter any magical beasts along the way.
But when they wandered around for half an hour and still didn't encounter any magical beasts, Kaye began to realize that something was wrong.
At this time, Hulk suddenly stopped, and Kaye, who was thinking about his thoughts, didn't check for a while, and hit his back directly, he only felt like he had hit a steel plate, and his nose hurt.
"Come out, don't hide. Hulk said in a deep voice.
"It's been a long time, Gagorond, you killed the people you sent a few times before. In the forest behind him, a group of more than ten orcs walked out one after another, and the first sturdy orc wore a single short braid, a dark brown beard, a dark red complexion, and a huge knife and axe on his back. The rest of the orcs had dark red skin, white bone tooth spaulders hanging from their right shoulder, and none of them had any hair left, perhaps for the convenience of the battle.
Hulk knew their identity just by looking at their skin color - the Fireblade tribe, not to mention the leader of the people, who was also one of the best warriors among all the orc tribes, because he always used huge knives and axes as weapons, and was brave, he was called the "Axe King" Mogul in the orc tribe.
"You are not welcome here, Mogul, I have left my homeland, and I do not want to meddle in any more of Garente's affairs. Hulk frowned and unceremoniously ordered the eviction.
Since Hulk and Mogul were talking in orc language, Kaye was confused, but he could sense from Hulk's frowning movements and unkind tone that he was friend or foe.
"I never wanted you to welcome me, Hulk, whether you're a general or an uprooter, I've always had one goal. Replace you and become the first warrior of the orcs. You're no longer worthy of that title, runaway coward!" Mogul roared, almost snarling, as if venting his resentment.
"Give up, Mogul, you couldn't beat me before, and it's the same now. I've got too much orc blood on my hands. You're a warrior of the tribe, I don't want to cut you off here, you go. ”
"Oh, Gagorond, you're still so arrogant as ever. Do you think you're going to be the winner forever? I admit you're strong, but I've got a special gift for you this time, and you're sure to be satisfied!"
As he spoke, he clapped his hands, only to see that the air behind the orcs seemed to distort slightly, and then several slender figures appeared in Hulk and Kaye's sight so abruptly.
The Dark Elves - this time the new intruders could even call Kaye by name, because their features were so obvious - dark skin, pointed ears, slender figures, handsome appearance, and the ability to use racial talent to distort the sun, use the refraction of sunlight to deceive the eyes of others, and temporarily hide their own shape. It's all exclusive to the Dark Elves.
"I really, wish you were as arrogant as you are when you die, instead of kneeling down and begging me for mercy, Gagorond. With that, Mogul took off the axe behind his back and rushed towards the Hulk with the orcs behind him.
Hulk pulled out the two great axes at his waist, ignoring the numerical advantage on the opposite side, and rushed straight straight ahead. For the warriors of the orc race, face-to-face and hard-hitting is their style.
Hulk slammed forward with one hand, striking Mogul at the same time, and at the same time, he threw the weapon in his other hand fiercely, and the great axe shot straight at the warriors of the Flameblade tribe like a cannonball.
The two orcs couldn't dodge, one was cut open by the giant axe, and the other was even more unfortunate to be directly hit in the chest by the giant axe and nailed directly to the ground.
Mogul and Hulk took a small step back after fighting hard, but Hulk, on the other hand, not only did not move, but also directly killed two enemies, and the name of the first warrior of the orcs is well deserved!
However, the orcs are worthy of the name of a fighting nation, and even after the first wave of the offensive was hit by this, the remaining orcs still moved forward, relying on their numerical superiority to attack the Hulk continuously. He had to go back to the defense.
And the dark elves also moved at this time, and they constantly used their agility to attack from all insidious angles with their rapies. This made Hulk a little careless, although his strength advantage was obvious, but in the face of the same strong and numerical orcs, plus the dark elves who were obviously on the wrong side, he couldn't bargain, so he had to keep retreating and defending.
Fortunately, although the attack of the dark elves is weird, the penetration of the rapier is not so strong, and the strength of Hulk's body can already be compared to the negative armor, and the damage of the rapier can only leave shallow scars on Hulk's body. He just needs to defend himself with his heart. However, if you continue to be in such a passive situation, you will have to suffer sooner or later.
While Hulk was defending and thinking about countermeasures, Mogul slammed his hands again, and Hulk didn't dare to hold it up, so he had to cross his axes and lift them upwards. And at this moment, the tallest of the dark elves grasped the gap, and the thin sword bolted out like a poisonous snake, piercing straight into the Hulk's eyes.
Hulk had no time to defend himself, so he threw his head back as best he could, praying that the damage would be minimized.
............
At the critical moment, a one-handed sword with a cyan sword body just rightly blocked the black sword's attack route.
Seeing that the human who had been considered a slave of the Hulk on one side suddenly joined the battle and showed not weak strength, Mogul and the others were confused about the situation for a while and stopped attacking.
"Hey, Hulk, you have to lose sometimes. Blocking the attack of the dark elves, Kaye retracted Charlotte and said leisurely.
"As a person who has lived in vain for so long, and is embarrassed to watch in vain for so long before making a move, from this point of view, you are really a standard human being. Probably because he was in a good mood when he was saved, Hulk rarely made a joke about Kaye, although his expression was as calm as ever.
"Charlotte the breeze, it's in your hands, you're from the Bledsoe royal family?" the dark elf, who had been blocked from the attack earlier, interrupted the conversation between the two, looked at the one-handed sword in Kaye's hand, and said in surprise.
This opening is also the standard human lingua franca. However, it is not surprising that as a dark elf who has been dealing with humans for a long time and lives in the dark, lingua franca is also one of the skills that must be learned.
"You don't care where I come from, you just need to know - first, I do have Charlotte in my hands, and second, you are attacking my friend, so it is destined that your opponent today is me. Kaye seemed to be full of confidence, but in fact, he knew in his heart that the opponent who could cause trouble for Hulk, at least the high-level Ode, was far from an opponent he could resist.
However, he also understands the current situation, the agile dark elves have caused Hulk the most trouble, and if he delays his opponent a little and buys Hulk some time, he may still have a chance to win. That's his faith in the Hulk.
"Interesting, do you think that having Charlotte has a duty to sanction us? I, Merlot Shadow Scar of the Night Elves, will be here to bury you and the Elven weapon. The tall Melo gave a disdainful smile and staggered his steps, attacking Kaye.
