Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1968 New Situation

Hilke had undoubtedly guessed Wright's idea long ago, so he wasn't surprised at all and readily agreed.

"Of course there's no problem."

However, from Hilke's perspective, this is not a very good solution.

From Ereda's perspective, knowing that there were two martial artists at the Transcendent Realm here, he definitely wouldn't come unless he had a solution.

But the problem is that he can't stay in the Elf Forest forever.

In the words of their emperor, this situation is like saying, "If you can be a thief for a thousand days, how can you guard against thieves for a thousand days?"

Wright may not have heard the phrase, but he couldn't possibly be unaware of the principle.

According to Hilke, the best solution would be to have the Great Zhou send powerful soldiers and troops to the area, and then build fortifications along the coast.

As soon as the Dark Elves' Black Sail warships appear, they will immediately launch a barrage of fire to suppress them and prevent them from landing.

This would effectively curb threats at the military level.

In this situation, if Ereda still wanted to launch an offensive, he had no choice but to release his true energy and fly over.

This is equivalent to having already weakened the opponent before the fight even begins.

Even if the enemy flies over later, they will be fighting alone, while they can use their superior forces to surround and attack, gaining the upper hand.

To put it bluntly, this wave means that the Elven race is no longer able to handle it calmly, but that doesn't mean that the Great Zhou Dynasty is unable to handle it calmly.

Even from Hilke's perspective, he really wanted to quickly eliminate the threat from the dark elves.

This was not only because of consideration for the safety of the elves here, but also because of the current situation of their Great Zhou.

Leaving aside the Barton Islands, the Orc Alliance is also an unstable factor, and now there's the Dark Elf as well.

These unstable factors could erupt at any time, and if they collide, the trouble would be immense.

Even out of caution, they should be dealt with one by one while the situation is still under control.

However, Hilke didn't seem inclined to bring it up at this moment.

The timing isn't quite right yet, and this is no small matter; he'll definitely have to consult with His Majesty before making a decision.

During this time, Hilke couldn't help but feel curious about the previous battle between Wright and Eredar.

“Your Majesty the Elf King, you said before that you and Eredar grew up together. If Eredar knows your moves so well, don’t you know his moves well?”

Faced with this question, Wright gave a wry smile.

"You must have heard the story of our five elven ancestors, right?"

"I heard."

Hilke nodded.

Seeing this, Wright continued speaking...

"The ancestor of the Dark Elves was the youngest son of the Elf God. He inherited the darkness of the Elf God, which also made them warlike, cold-blooded, and bloodthirsty. This is common knowledge, but you may not know some of the things that happened afterward."

"That is because the Elven God planted the Ancient Elven Tree, leaving a legacy for his children, but he was worried that his youngest son would cause trouble and bring destruction to the race after gaining great power." "So the first four children all received the legacy, but the Dark Elf did not."

"In other words, dark elves cannot accept the inheritance of the ancient elven tree."

"But Eredar is indeed exceptionally talented. Even without the inheritance of the Ancient Elven Tree, relying solely on his own efforts, his strength is still outstanding among his peers."

“More than three hundred years ago, when I banished him, he had just broken through to the Realm of Vertical and Horizontal, but now, his strength has become even greater than before, and he has mastered a large number of combat techniques that I have never seen before.”

At this point, Wright's expression couldn't help but show a hint of bitterness.

In their previous encounter, in terms of pure strength, he should have been superior, yet he still lost. The fundamental reason for this was that the Eredar knew him too well, while he completely failed to understand the Eredar in the present moment.

After this battle, although Eredar's intelligence was updated for him, it was still far from enough for Wright.

During his previous recuperation, he did engage in mental simulations.

He deduced how much chance he had of winning if he faced Eredar again.

As a result, he was unable to counter Eredar's certain tactics and was always dragged into a war of attrition until he was worn down.

Clearly, during the more than three hundred years of their exile, the dark elves, led by the Eredar, also acquired new powers.

For the next period of time, Hilke naturally continued to stay in the Elf Forest.

The arrival of the dark elf army clearly brought a sense of urgency to the elves here.

The most noticeable change was seen in the Elf King Light.

In the days that followed, Wright trained with Hilke almost every morning, and they also sparred and practiced together.

Instructing Hilke on swordsmanship and imparting his experience as the 'Storm Sword Saint' was one aspect, but another was that, looking at the current state of the elven forest, the only one who could provide Wright with some sparring opportunities was Hilke, who was also at the Transcendent Realm.

During this process, Wright also wanted to adjust his swordsmanship and try to change some of his fighting habits while sparring with Hilke.

Clearly, Wright was also planning to prepare for both possibilities.

When he had a little free time, Hilke took the opportunity to go to the coast on the other side of the elven forest.

Looking at the boundless sea before him, Hilke took out his compass from his pocket.

At that moment, the compass needle was pointing straight towards the ocean.

It now seems that the place of inheritance that their emperor mentioned is probably overseas.

Meanwhile, Hilke's intelligence was delivered to Zhou Xu as quickly as possible.

While Zhou Xu gained a deeper understanding of the Dark Elves and the internal situation of the Elven race, the problems that the Elven race was currently facing also came to light.

Wright and his group only faced one dark elf, but for the Great Zhou, they now faced three forces that could pose a threat to them at any time.

These three forces are the North Sea Dragon Clan, the Orc Alliance, and the Dark Elves.

As Hilke said in his report, it's best to deal with them one by one while the situation is still under their control. If they all erupt at the same time, the trouble will be much greater.

However, none of these three forces were easy to deal with. Looking at them one by one, each one was more troublesome than the last. Just thinking about this matter gave Zhou Xu a headache.
