“That’s naturally the best outcome.”
Ji Chen slowly revealed a relieved smile, finally pushing things to this point.
Since the discovery of the demonic invasion, amidst countless attacks by corrupted creatures, encountering Lainekel, and then crossing the ocean to reach this northern continent, the journey had been fraught with peril.
As long as other orderly factions learned of this matter, they would at least be on guard. Even if the demons were powerful, it would be difficult for them to sweep across the continent in one fell swoop. This also served Ji Chen’s purpose.
If the demons’ assault was thwarted, perhaps the Crown of the Ocean could receive support from the orderly factions.
Thinking back to Lainekel’s warning that the Greed Lord would attack the southern continent, Ji Chen couldn’t help but worry. The southern continent was distant, and he wasn’t sure of the route there. All he could do was silently pray for the people of the southern continent.
While news of the demon incident spread throughout the elven empire…
In the barren mountains of the south, within a large basin.
Here lived a massive orc tribe, one of the most powerful and evil orc tribes among the endless mountains.
An orc rider descended from the sky on a wyvern with a pointed beak, handing over his mount to another orc responsible for its care. He hurriedly dashed to the center of the tribe, to a tent made of beast hides.
He bowed and saluted to the supreme orc king on the throne.
“King, I’ve heard some news from the pointed ears.”
Quetori Shatteredfang, with a fur-clad female orc leaning against him, ate a grape fed by the female orc before slowly asking, “What news?”
“Demons have appeared in the Silvermoon Holy City and killed dozens of elves!”
“What?” Quetori Shatteredfang showed surprise. “Didn’t the demons plan to conceal their invasion until they completely broke through the rule barrier before declaring their invasion?”
“Where did you hear this news?”
“This matter has spread throughout the entire elven empire. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for me to investigate such news.”
Quetori Shatteredfang signaled for the female orc to leave, then leaned back in the beast-hide chair, his eyes showing a hint of fierceness. “Is this true?” “Absolutely!” the orc rider swore, “If it’s false, then after my death, I won’t be able to go to the Hall of Heroes and will be condemned by the orc god!” Hearing the orc rider make such a vow, Quetori Shatteredfang’s expression softened a bit. “Even so, what’s the use of killing dozens of pointed ears? Those elven military forces are strong, and killing a few dozen won’t make much of a difference.”
“But I heard that dozens of elven nobles and lords were killed, all of high status and power. The entire elven empire is in turmoil now!”
Quetori Shatteredfang’s face showed surprise, then he seemed to think of something and said excitedly, “This must be the demon’s plan!”
The orc rider looked confused.
“Anyway, their invasion will definitely attract the attention of the pointed ears when the time comes. So, it’s better to take action first, secretly attacking and killing important elves. This way, we can cause chaos among the pointed ears!”
The more he spoke, the more confident Quetori Shatteredfang became. “The pointed ears are the strongest force of the orderly factions. As long as they are in chaos, the demons will have no opponents. Plus, with our evil orcs, we can surely quickly deal with other orderly factions!”
“By then, our evil faction will dominate the entire world!”
The orc rider, listening to their king as if he had the world in his palm, couldn’t help but pause for a moment. “What should we do now?”
“What should we do? Of course, we must respond! As their allies, how can we stand idly by?”
“Spread my orders: take advantage of this chaos, send a ten-thousand-strong force into the elven territory, and plunder along the borders!”
‘Yes, sir!!”
