"Daddy...... I don't want to leave you! I want to protect you!"

The heroic half-elf girl shouted loudly, her fists clenched so hard that she almost cried. She was very slender, her breasts were not developed, and she looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old, so this statement seemed strange.

"Ann, Dad can protect himself, and the soldiers on the battlefield have already given their lives to the gods. I know you're brave, but you're still too young, aren't you?"

Marshal Yang furrowed his eyebrows slightly, and his voice and expression became heavy. The half-elf girl named Ann refused to back down, her voice became agitated, and tears flowed down her beautiful and immature cheeks.

"I'm sixteen years old, and I can take over the three moves of General Lukin...... Even Miss Aqi has instructed me! Miss Aqi will never teach swordsmanship to weak people! I am worthy of the sword of the Thirteenth Legion, and I will be your sword! Dad, please don't let me leave you!"

Her white and golden hair suddenly flew up, and between the brilliant light, the golden and red phoenix wings spread out from behind her back, like a torch that illuminates everything. At that moment, Hyde suddenly felt an incredible compulsion, which was close to the same force that Jessica brought to him when Midland's 10th champion!

"Marshal Yang's adopted daughter actually has such strength, is the half-elf so powerful?"

Hyde couldn't help but ask himself in his heart, the half-elf girl named Ann shook his heart, and at the same time reminded him of something that old Loren and Marshall had mentioned. Because of the influence of that huge force, his Mirmidia Holy Seal involuntarily spread out a corner, and the brilliance of different colors instantly filled the entire small cabin.

In fact, due to the large number of elven mercenaries, elven merchants, and the presence of the famous sea elf dominions in the empire, it is not uncommon for humans to mix with elves. Hyde's mother, Princess Anna, had one-eighth elven blood. Miss Greenhill is also one-eighth of the elven blood, in fact, even Hyde himself has one-sixteenth of the elven blood. Therefore, half-elves are more common in the empire than elves, and there are many legends about them.

"Turning five hundred years of life into infinite power, this is the bloodline of the half-elf chosen by the gods!"

This is a common rumor among the emperor and the people, and there is a reason for this rumor. This is because, unlike the high elves, who are said to be thousands of years old, half-elves only live a few decades longer than humans, although they often have the appearance of a human thirty years old at the age of eighty. But most of them die of rapid aging after more than 100 years of age. But at the same time, most of them have superhuman agility and physical strength, amazing energy, and even far more than pure-blooded High Elves, so all these doubts have become the cause of legends.

"If you don't have ten gods, then please send me at least thirty people with dragon and white lion blood!"

A hundred years ago, Marshal Trentz once sent such an urgent message during the battle with the Greenskins, because the so-called "dragon and white lion blood" is a tribute to the half-elves. These half-elves are probably the best warriors in the Emperor's team except for the gods, they have the sensitivity and agility of elves, but also have the fortitude and fanaticism of humans, and they have an astonishing level of mastery of magic and martial arts. In fact, even among the gods of the Old Gods, the proportion of half-elves is much higher than that of ordinary humans, and it is said that there are four half-elves among the twelve royal forest champions of the Imperial Court today.

However, there are still inconsistencies between legends and facts, in fact, the life span of elves is not as long as imagined, except for some legendary saint-level ** masters and peak sword saints, the lives of most elf nobles will not exceed four hundred years old, and most of the ordinary civilians who constitute the main body of elf society do not live to be three hundred years old, and it is normal for them to die of aging just over two hundred years old. Although in the legend, the great elves of the first generation of the Salvation Phoenix King had a lifespan of thousands of years, even two thousand, or three thousand years, which is longer than the history of the Sigma Empire, but it was thousands of years ago, and it was no different from mythology.

But in any case, even two hundred years of life is beyond the reach of human beings with only sixty or seventy years of life, and the half-elves may have turned a hundred years of life into war blood. In fact, most of the Empire's half-elf bloodline comes from the crystallization of elven male commoners and human female surnames, and their long lives and youth often leave seeds in their loneliness. Human male surnames that can be favored by elven girls are as rare as a few and far between, and even the great nobles of the empire often struggle to get their wishes. Because the union with the commoner cannot leave a descendant with the right of inheritance, and the marriage with the elven nobles is almost unimaginable, because the proud elven nobles almost never marry the female surname of the family.

But Princess Anna's great-grandfather, Hyde's great-grandfather, was a special exception, and he miraculously married a noble girl from the High Elves. According to Catherine, the Prince of Tubaro won the heart of a noble girl of the High Elves for his heroic destruction of the Dark Elf warship and the saving of hundreds of lives of an entire elven ship when he was the captain of a four-deck battleship. The wedding 100 years ago sent Tubaro into a frenzy of celebration.
