If the prince died, or if the Assassins fled, the Azuls would surely hunt for him. Their return to calm showed that the Assassins had not succeeded, and even lost their lives.

"It sounds good, but it's actually a waste!"

The witch cursed softly at the dead Assassin. She tiptoed back. The area was safe, and the six shadow warrior scouts that the Azurs had placed here had all been killed by the Assassins, so she could do something without worrying about anyone finding out.

The witch took out a scroll from her purse, and through a magical word, a faint light appeared on the scroll.

"Galad has failed. The witch replied respectfully. "Prince Ashrufat is safe and sound. With that, she pronounced another magical word. The scroll instantly turned into smoke.

Her magical warnings had been heard. Soon, the Wizarding King will get the news and take decisive steps to take the next step. It was time for the sorceress to leave, and without the help of the Assassins, she would hardly have had a chance to get close to the army.

......

"Your Majesty, we have repelled the attack of our evil cousin on the southern flank. An elven nobleman in armor saluted the monarch on the throne. "But they weren't attacking very hard, so I think the attack was tentative, to find holes in our defense. I examined the battlefield, and the losses were roughly equal, but we held our positions. ”

"I got it. The Phoenix King replied softly. During this time, skirmishes became more frequent. The enemy is gathering strength and looking for fighters, and all fronts are on high alert.

At the side of this elven nobleman, there are still several people waiting for the latest news.

"What else is there to say?"

"Your Majesty, the latest news, Prince Juda has found and annihilated the enemy fleet that has been harassing the coast. However, the situation was different from what had been predicted, and the enemy's fleet consisted of only twelve ships. ”

My people are already tired of the war, they are restless. The Phoenix King felt a little bitter in his mouth. Even a small fleet is exaggerated tenfold. There is no end in sight to the war, and we are beginning to lose faith.

"Prince Juda's fleet lost three ships and captured one enemy ship. ”

"I got it. ”

The war is being fought simultaneously on three fronts. On the mainland, the two sides are at loggerheads, and the Divine Elves are powerless to drive away the invading army of Dark Elves, and the two sides enter a difficult and protracted war. At sea, the fleet of the Divine Elves has temporarily gained an advantage, but no one dares to say how long this advantage will be maintained. On the enemy's homeland, the expeditionary force suddenly disappeared as if it had disappeared from the world, and no one knew what had happened to them.

The expression of the last subordinate already explained the news he was going to report.

"Expeditionary Force...... Still not any news?"

"Yes, there is no news from the dragon princes. The clerk replied respectfully. "I tried hard to inform the Dragon Prince, but they remained silent. Searching for information from other directions, it was discovered that our evil cousin's native forces were moving in an anomaly. ”

"I'm going to be more specific. ”

"After Prince Ashruphat captured Ampulis," said the clerk. "Our evil cousins began to gather their forces and gather the forces of the native garrison into a large army to meet Prince Ashorufat. Before, they thought that the prince would go all the way north along the coast, so they went all the way down the coast to the south to face the battle. However, the prince later abandoned the fleet and went straight to Dosonian inland, so their plan to block the coast failed. ”

"Now this legion has gone inland, this is the information half a month ago. If Prince Ashorufat is still active in that area...... That would most likely mean that he was now overtaken by the enemy. ”

Has the expeditionary force failed? Although it has achieved excellent results, it is still the last ......

"What about the news from the Emerald Court, I remember that the records of the expeditionary force will be recorded in full. ”

There was no new news, and the queen did not respond. ”

The Phoenix King nodded. Maybe it's not that bad, but at least there's hope.

The disposition of the battle was over, and soon he was left alone.

Prince Ashrufat? Why does it seem to be ...... now? I can only hope for this prince of unknown origin? I probably didn't expect this to be the end of the day...... That battle plan is really bold and dangerous. But it has to be said that, as Prince Ishrufat himself said, this scheme is the only chance to break the deadlock.

What is the expeditionary force doing now? is it destroying iron mines, or is it struggling under the attack of the enemy's superior army......

"Father. This call awakened the Phoenix King from his contemplation. He opened his eyes and saw a young and beautiful girl standing in front of him.

Nakia...... I'm not saying that you can't bother me while I'm on business. ”

Even so, a fool could tell from the tone in which he spoke that he had no anger.

"I've heard that Prince Ashrufat has lost his voice, haven't I?" asked the maiden.

"Yes...... You're here to ask this? The war has nothing to do with you. The Phoenix King felt a little crying and laughing. Previously, in order to boost morale, he ordered Prince Ashrufat's achievements to be widely announced. This was supposed to be a measure of disposition with no deep meaning, but somehow it turned Prince Ashrufat into the dream girl of many young girls, including his daughter. In fact, elves are no different from humans, and girls who are not deeply involved in the world are always easily attracted by men who are full of legends, heroic or mysterious in their stories. Of course, the effect is even more pronounced when the two are combined.

"I heard that the prince is now alone in the army, why don't you send a reinforcement for him?"

"I don't have any reinforcements to send. The Phoenix King replied. "You're also fascinated by the legends? Prince Ashrufat isn't really good-looking, and if you meet him, you won't like it. And, a month ago, you didn't even hear of that name. ”

The name "Ashrufat" actually does not conform to the naming conventions of the elves, and in the Elven language, it is quite a mouthful. But it is precisely because of this awkwardness that the name is easier to remember.

"But he was heroic, and he was brilliant. ”

"It's true. The Phoenix King said softly. "Now he's on his own...... There was no one to help him. He suddenly raised his voice. "He's a prince, noble and capable, and he knows what he's doing!"

There was a sudden commotion outside, and then they saw several elven nobles striding in from outside. They are the officials who are responsible for handling the intelligence of all parties for the Phoenix King.

"Your Majesty, Prince Ashrufat has brought the latest news. The one in the lead took two steps forward. "The prince has sent the news by means of magical communication that he has captured the Grey Star Harbor, an important city in the middle of our Nagalus coastline. ”

If the Phoenix King felt a burst of joy, at least he didn't show it on his face at all. On the contrary, Princess Nakia, who was standing on the side, was full of joy.

"I'm going to confirm the news right away. ”

......

Out of nowhere, thick smoke drifted down the wind, mixed with the smell of blood, and hit the nostrils of the witch chief Iluvita.

Beside her, on the steps of the temple of the God of the Bloody Hand, lay the corpses of the warrior elves and the dark elf warriors. She won the battle for the time being, but there were not many of her soldiers left. Farther away, the retreating Warrior Elves had joined the reinforcements. Instead of counting the number of enemies, Iluvita could tell at a glance that the Warrior Elves outnumbered her soldiers by more than five times. Half of them were spear infantrymen, and the other half were knights with silver helmets who dismounted to fight. In addition, several white lion warriors can be seen mixed in with the crowd.

Iluvita believed that more of the Azuls would gather over time. But perhaps it was the corpses strewn across the ground that frightened the stupid and incompetent Azuls, or perhaps the officers who did not take the lead among them, which made them overwhelmingly numerous, but did not attack immediately.

The witch looked at the horizon where the sun had sunk. It was emitting the last light of the day, and the sky burned from orange to blood-red, as if to justify the desperate struggle on the earth. In the other direction, the first evening star of dusk had already flashed. The wind in the air brought the smell of blood and fire, as if it were the breath of the god of the bloody hands himself. Blood and terror are exactly what witches are after, and bloodthirsty desires and endless hatred fill the witches' hearts.

Although there were no enemies on either side now, none of the warriors around her dared to retreat. This is true of every Dark Elf who has seen the witches' methods of torturing deserters, and they would rather die than face that fate.

"Stupid Azuls. The witch let out a loud laugh. "You will be punished for your ignorance. I will watch your blood stain every layer of this staircase. ”

Her cutlass was stained with blood. After an entire afternoon of fighting at the temple, it is conservatively estimated that she has killed more than a hundred cousins under her sword. She had smeared her skin with their blood, making her look as if she had just bathed in a fountain of blood. She enjoyed killing these stupid invaders.

Of course, all this has come to an end. At this moment, the clamor of the fighting in the city has gradually subsided. The Warrior Elves have been victorious, and they are now mobilizing their forces to attack all those strongholds that have not yet fallen.

"Your war is doomed!" the witch said loudly, trying to tease the officers of the Azurs to come forward and fight her. "Our God has predestined all things, and He will witness your destruction in heaven and prove your cowardice and impotence with my hand. All your struggles are in vain, and the shame and hatred we have suffered will be avenged and washed away in your blood!"

Then she saw an officer line up, a white lion warrior with a huge battle axe in his hand.

"Your god can't decide anything!" the white lion warrior rushed forward. "It is you who will be destroyed, evil Truuzie!

Iluvita met her opponent. The two sides are just a face-to-face, and the winner is decided. Illuvita's reaction was blessed by the god of the Bloody Hand, and she easily dodged her opponent's all-out blow, and then her blade stabbed into her opponent's neck, which was not protected by armor. With a terrifying, natural movement, her blade sliced through the White Lion Warrior's entire neck, causing his head to hit the ground with a thud.
