Minutes and seconds passed.

Queen Ai Ying stood on the high platform, looking at the heavily armed elven guards below, silent. There is only one hour left until the countdown to the Inquisition, and the elves of the entire Summer Twilight Island have been arguing about it for these days. Some of the elves were frightened by the horrors of the Inquisition and offered to make further peace with the other side.

However, most of the elves rejected this, the elves were a proud race, and the high elves believed that they were the ones who inherited the rule of the gods and enjoyed the right to rule the continent. And now, mere mortals dare to speak wild words in front of them?

Never surrender!

The pride of the elves would not allow them to stop there, and they would rather stand here and destroy with the island of Twilight than bow their proud heads to humans!

It is better to die standing than to live on your knees!

Let these humans know that the pride and dignity of the elves are not something they can trample on!

No matter how powerful the other party is, they will make humans feel the determination of the elves!

Things have come to this point, and they have come to an end.

For Queen Ai, she has no other choice.

Soon, a beam of light fell from the sky and landed in front of the queen, and then the huge figure reappeared. He didn't care about the tense and heavily armed elven soldiers around him, he just stared at the elven queen.

"Looks like you've already made your decision."

"Yes."

Queen Ai took a deep breath and nodded vigorously, she stared at the man in front of her with resolute eyes, and shouted.

"The elves will not accept your humiliating conditions! If you want to destroy the Summer Twilight Island, then we will do everything in our power to defend the Ancestral Divine State!"

Queen Ai's voice was firm, without the slightest hesitation, full of the majesty and determination of a queen. Hearing her speak, the elves also raised their weapons and roared loudly. For a while, the entire Summer Twilight Island echoed with the angry shouts of the elves, who were using this way to express their determination and fighting spirit to the enemy in front of them.

However.........

"Oh."

The other party didn't say much, whether it was the performance of these elves or the queen's answer, he didn't seem to care, he just nodded, and then disappeared again. Seeing this, the queen clenched her fists, and then she stood on the high platform and gave the order.

"Open the Magical Barrier! All ready to fight! We will never surrender! We are here to show our dignity and glory as High Elves!"

Let the Inquisition see the will of the elves!

For Duanmu Huai, the will, determination, and ideas of the elves are meaningless.

In fact, after returning to the Voice of Truth, he only gave one order.

"Three rounds of macro cannons, one round of light spears, and then a salvo of main guns."

In less than five seconds, the command decided the fate of the elves.

The first to notice the anomaly was an elven sentry.

He withdrew his gaze from the distant sea level, only to scan the sky upwards by chance, and then his eyes widened in surprise as if he had found something. Looking at the night sky overhead——— in the dark night sky, countless stars were shining, and it seemed that it was no different from usual. But soon, he realizes that something is wrong with the starry sky.

The starry sky, which was supposed to be quiet, seemed to be shaking, as if it was falling from the sky.

No, it's not the night sky that falls, it's the stars.

Hundreds of huge cannon shells pierced through the atmosphere and roared towards Summerwilight Island like a meteor shower, falling mercilessly with the brilliance of destruction under the acceleration of gravity.

「—————————！

！

」

In the blink of an eye, the sky above Summer Twilight Island was covered in a shining, scorching, intense light. And the elves meditated hard and tried their best to do their best to the magical barrier

In the face of the huge cannonball one hundred and forty meters long, it could not be stopped for even a second, it shattered like a fragile spider web, and then a meteor rain fell from the sky to cover the entire Summer Twilight Island.

The flames rose into the sky, and there were spurts of flames and air currents everywhere, and from a distance, the entire island seemed to be full of volcanic eruptions, and countless lone clouds of flame mushrooms tumbling into the sky almost enveloped the entire island. Under this relentless attack, all obstacles are meaningless. In the high-TC city built by the elves, the fortress was blasted to pieces like fragile building blocks, and the elves in it were torn to shreds before they could even scream.

In the midst of the violent tremors, the earth rose and fell like waves, and even the sea was shaken by the waves, the mountains were flattened, the elven forests were destroyed, and the vineyards that spanned the plains were completely destroyed. The land, the forests, the grasslands, the cities, the ports, nothing could survive this horrific near-destruction bombardment.

And just when the elves thought that this terrible attack would last forever, suddenly, it all seemed to end without warning.

The remaining elves raised their heads in surprise, they looked around, everywhere was a ruin, at this moment, it seemed that the whole world fell into a dead silence, so that they could not even hear each other's voices——— as if even the sound had disappeared from this world.

It was at this time that the elves' vision captured the glow of the sky as if it were a bright sun.

Several rays of energy mixed with high temperature fell from the sky and shone on the entire Summer Twilight Island, different from the previous violent attacks, this time the flames and heat swept the entire island, and the remaining cities, forests and mountains were all drowned in the frenzied flames, and the shining light was so bright that it even reflected the sky.

It was as if a fiery sun was about to rise above the sea level.

"Her Majesty! Her Majesty!

！」

The elven guard screamed and ran forward, the glass light armor he was wearing had completely melted at this moment, fused with the flesh and blood of the elf guard, it let out a miserable scream in pain, and stretched out its hand to its queen in despair, but the next moment, the flesh and blood of the elf guard and the glass light armor were completely melted into a puddle of thick liquid, scattered on the ground, and its bones were in the burning flames, falling into extinction.

"Your Majesty, please get out of here as soon as possible!

」

The court mage raised its hands in the air, its ten fingers already charred, but even so, it still gritted its teeth, trying to maintain the protective barrier, its sleeves began to catch fire, and its hair was burned clean.

"Already......... It's too late."

Queen Ai Ying shook her head, and then she raised her head and looked at the night sky in front of her, as if she couldn't bear to look at the Elven King City in front of her, which had been completely sunk into a sea of fire.

Although before making this decision, Queen Ai knew that this was probably going to be an unimaginable battle. But she still didn't expect that the gap between the two sides would be so big......... Is this really something that mortals can do? Shouldn't this be a god? No, even if you are a god, you may not be able to do it to this extent.

didn't appear, didn't even fight, just a face-to-face effort, and the entire Summer Twilight Island was completely destroyed.

Such power............... Is that the force we are fighting against?

Thinking of this, the queen opened her eyes, and the last thing that caught the queen's vision was a bright and dazzling light.

The torrent of plasma roared down, bombarding Xia Dusk Island heavily, and under this blow, Xia Dusk Island, which was already in ruins, was directly shattered and split. The earth was exposed to countless cracks, and the sea roared and drowned in. The shattered earth fell apart, and the sea rushed in, evaporating on the hot earth, forming clumps of white smoke that flew high into the air.

And when all this was over, the sacred place of the elves, the royal city, the home of the High Elves——— Summer Twilight Island, had completely fallen apart and completely submerged in the sea. Their wreckage sank to the bottom of the ocean in the final bombardment, and the tens of thousands of elven people on it were even more worthless to death

。

Their determination, their will, their dignity, before they even had time to show even the slightest spark, were utterly destroyed, leaving no remnants behind.

Duanmu Huai put his hands behind his back and stood on the bridge. The elves' resistance, struggle, pain, meant nothing to him. He could already feel that the souls of those elves were struggling in pain, but this was not enough, the anger of the Inquisition was not so easily eliminated, the destruction of the aliens was not just that simple, their souls would be completely destroyed by the stellar furnace in the realm of annihilation of the Inquisition, turned into energy, as the source of existence of the Inquisitors.

No matter how tragic things happened on Xia Dusk Island, for Duanmu Huai, what he saw in his eyes was just a fleeting small spark.

But that didn't end there.

"Order the night guards to prepare, let's go and get rid of these aliens once and for all, starting tonight, the Ancestral Divine Kingdom will completely cease to exist!"

For the people of this continent, this night was a thrilling night.

The firelight of Summer Twilight Island attracted everyone's attention, but it was not enough, in addition to Summer Twilight Island, the other two territories of the Ancestral Divine State, Valen Forest and Aylesville, were also attacked. Dressed in pitch-black armor, the Night Guards broke through the elves' defenses, mercilessly slaughtered the main city armies of the two realms, and hung the lord's corpse on the city gate, announcing the complete destruction of the ancestral kingdom.

With the destruction of the High Elf armies and the death of the lord in these two territories, the situation began to become turbulent. In the Valen Forest, due to the fall of the ancestral state, the Wood Elves regained power and re-established a pro-imperial federal government.

In Aylesville, the Tigers also began to fight for power again and rebuild a new regime.

In just one night, the ancestor Shenzhou, the elves *** were completely destroyed, this night is also known as the "night of destruction", after this night, there is no race again, dare to question and confront the inquisition. And this unknown force, accompanied by the "Night of Destruction", has completely become the most terrifying existence on this continent.

What will become of the continent after that, and whether the empire will seize this opportunity to reorganize internal contradictions, Duanmu Huai does not care. As he said to the Emperor, the Inquisition would only be concerned with the external threats of humanity, and as for the internal confrontation of humanity, the Inquisition did not care, let alone care. Even if another regime overthrew the empire and created a new state, that would be ......... It has nothing to do with the court.

Therefore, after that, in addition to the hundreds of night guards who were responsible for running the Inquisition on this continent, Duanmu Huai returned to Manalia with the others.
