The Magic Empire for 20,000 years

Chapter 170 Humans are showing us goodwill!

That was the legendary feat of the three elves, Lia Sunshine, Guirasser Goldflake, and Serka Radiance, who raided human positions at night, destroyed numerous fortifications, and fought a great battle against many human mages.

Human towers collapsed in the explosion of the chain of lightning, human mages were burned to ashes in the flames, human bunkers were blown to pieces, and human king Elion was sweating profusely and retreating step by step under Leia's continuous magical attacks...

Prince Riyao glanced at the screen casually, shrugged, and spoke with arrogance and nonchalance, as if watching a performance by ants in a glass tank:
"It's okay."

This was merely a minor victory, not a complete annihilation of the enemy on the main battlefield, but just a routine night raid. No wonder, as the elven god of war, I didn't perceive a corresponding victory…

Prince Riyao thought to himself.

Meanwhile, Aros watched very carefully and attentively, observing every detail as if he were watching a magnificent performance.

As the image abruptly ended, a faint smile appeared on the lips of this "weaver of fate":
"Indeed, a king of the mortal realm."

"It was like a grand and magnificent performance, a feast for the eyes."

Aros clapped his hands and praised.

Overjoyed to receive the Queen's praise, Laclais hastily bowed in gratitude.

"Thank you for your recognition and praise. This is my greatest honor, Your Majesty the Divine Queen!"

He had thought that his daughter's victory would be greatly appreciated by the God of War, Prince Sun.

Unexpectedly, they were able to gain the approval of the goddess Avando.

Well done, Leah!
As expected of my precious daughter, the future Queen of the Sun Elves!

With immense joy, Laclaus bid farewell to the Queen of Gods and returned to the revelry grounds.

Watching the King of the Sun Elves once again linger among the clinking of glasses, admiring the magnificent dances, savoring the fine wine in the golden goblet, and singing aloud while holding his seven-stringed lyre, Aros suddenly narrowed her eyes, her thoughts drifting:

"This human monarch is no ordinary person..."

"To think they could come up with such a creative deception method, perfectly exploiting the Sun Elves' traits and weaknesses..."

"The human race, as I vaguely foresaw in my perception of destiny, will indeed have unpredictable impacts on my future plans..."

Aros refers to the plan to overthrow her husband Corylon and replace him as the King of Avangard...

……

Eldoron Floating City.

"Your Majesty Elion, the Elven Court has also conducted a series of planar observations. However, they have stated that they have not detected any signs of an abyssal invasion and do not believe Your Majesty's calculations at all."

Elian listened to Shiluka's report without any surprise.

If the signs of the Abyss invasion had been detected earlier, such immense destruction would not have occurred in history.

"Never mind, it doesn't matter whether the elves believe it or not."

El-Erian waved his hand: "Regardless of what they think, we must prepare for this!"

In any case, he has fulfilled his obligation to notify.

If the Elven Royal Court doesn't believe him and suffers any losses, then it's none of his business.

"Oh, by the way, the first batch of extraordinary materials ordered from the Elven Royal Court has arrived," Siluca reported.

"The remaining materials will arrive gradually within a year."

At this point, Shiluka showed a hint of heartache:
"These things are really expensive; they've emptied most of the national treasury."

"When the material import agreement was signed, the representatives of those elven families were all beaming with joy, as if they had never seen such a big order in their lives."

“Very good.” Elian nodded, unconcerned about the enormous expense.

Elion planned to invest all the enormous wealth accumulated over the past seven years of trade between the two countries, along with the treasures plundered from the Green Dragon Treasury, the annual output of the Emerald Mountains, and most of the national treasury revenue for the next ten years, into the magical military industry, regardless of the cost.

Anyway, once we conquer the Abyss, we can immediately use its abundant resources to sustain our war effort and recoup all the investments we've made over the years, with interest!

Shiluka flipped through the documents in her hands, and asked in confusion:
"Your Majesty Elion, is the procurement of so many extraordinary materials, especially the Sunburst Diamond with its otherworldly aura, intended to forge a batch of military magical items to counter the demon legion?"

"After years of industrial development, Eldoron is now indeed the country on the continent that is most skilled at producing magical items."

"But the amount of materials ordered is too much. Do we really need so many military magical items?"

“A magical item?” Elion asked with a half-smile. “It is, and it isn’t.”

Is it so, and it isn't?

Are these extraordinary materials used to create something that is similar to a magical item but different?
Hiluka was bewildered.

"Anyway, you'll find out soon enough."

Ignoring Siluca's confused gaze, Elion stood up and walked towards the door:

"Recently, in order to deal with the invasion of the Abyss, General Thor has been actively training his troops and summoning demons to conduct simulated battles, right?" "Let's go to the army first. Let's see in which aspects our army is lacking in the face of the future demon legion."

……

The Kingdom of Elves.

The territory of the Sun Elf royal family, the Sun Radiance family.

The magnificent palace gleamed in the midday sun, its gilded decorations embodying nobility and glory.

"Eldorlon ordered so many Sunburst Diamonds from us?"

"Did I not look at an extra zero?"

"This is more than the total orders placed by the Dwarf Kingdom over the past 30 years!"

Princess Leah's hands trembled slightly as she held the documents, almost unable to believe her eyes:

"Most of the Sunshine Diamonds that had been piling up in the warehouse and couldn't be sold were sold in one go."

"This is a huge profit!"

Leah was both surprised and delighted.

Although the Sun Elf family's advantage in the Elf Kingdom lies in manufacturing, they also occupy this fertile land in the center of the continent, and like the Moon Elf family, they engage in the export of natural resources and monopolize many extraordinary materials.

For example, these Sun Diamonds, influenced by the magic of the Celestial Realm and imbued with the aura of another dimension, are a specialty of the Sun Elf family.

Amidst her surprise, Princess Leah had another idea:
“Over the years, the family’s manufacturing business has been impacted by Eldoron to varying degrees.”

"Is ordering so many materials from us also a way for Eldor to show goodwill towards us Sun Elves?"

"It's as if they intentionally avoided the elves' areas of strength, leaving us an easy path to profit."

In recent years, impacted by the cheap magical products of Eldoron, the manufacturing industries of the ten Sun Elf families have shrunk to varying degrees.

Fortunately, Eldoron has never ventured into the high-end crafts and other fields monopolized by the elves.

Today, the major elf families are doing "OEM" business for Eldoron products on the one hand, and on the other hand, they are constantly shifting their industries to high-end handicrafts and other areas where elves have an advantage.

Although the original manufacturing industry has shrunk, a huge market with a population of millions has now been added in Eldorlon.

Compared to before trade, the total revenue of the industry did not decrease significantly.

Moreover, the Sun Elf family's original strengths in crafting staves, weaving robes, and alchemy all require continuous improvement and optimization, making them quite arduous to develop.

Now, doing OEM business for Eldorlon products and high-end handicrafts has become much easier!

Especially the OEM business.

It's practically like you can make money while lying down just by gaining fame!

"They could have easily taken our business, but they left us the easiest way to make money."

"What does this mean?"

"This shows that Eldoran also fears the influence of our Sun Elves and is voluntarily offering us concessions!"

As a typical Sun Elf, who considers herself the representative of the gods of Sidreen on Earth, and adhering to the philosophy of "must win," Leah naturally thought in this direction.

This time, Eldoron ordered a large quantity of unsold Sunburst Diamonds from the Sunburst family, which Leah suspected was also a way of showing goodwill.

King Elion of Mankind, I never expected you to be so sensible...

Lia praised him in her heart.

Keep in mind that the humans still hold leverage over her. If a major conflict were to erupt between Eldoron and the Sun Elf family, her situation would become quite precarious.

Thinking of this, Lia turned to Prince Elf beside her and said:

"I never expected that this king of mankind would be so sensible and understanding."

"They know that if they want to trade with the Elven Kingdom for a long time, they have to be mindful of our Sun Elves' feelings and find ways to give us some benefits!"

Prince Elf nodded, slightly relieved.

"Well, that's fine too."

"That way, when Father returns, he won't be furious."

In any case, he did not fulfill his father's mission to prevent the two countries from establishing diplomatic relations.

With the establishment of trade and transportation links between the two countries already a fait accompli, it would be ideal for Eldoron to proactively express goodwill and offer concessions to the Sun Elf family.
