The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

To be honest, she was a very young elf.

But who knows how the elves calculate their age? They might have lived for eight hundred years or more.

He was dressed in the standard light armor of the elven army, but there were no insignia or rank markings on the armor.

It looks like it was deliberately erased.

His long, golden hair was tied back, with a few strands damp with sweat and clinging to his forehead. His handsome face, which conformed to human aesthetics, was now filled with tension and unease.

Soon, he was escorted to a stop ten meters away from Gu Xu.

The two squads of heavily armed warriors stood on the left and right, like two iron towers, their weapons slightly lowered.

Judging from his posture, the skill would be activated within 0.1 seconds should he make any unusual movement.

Shoot him through the air.

The elven officer was clearly aware of his situation. He took a deep breath, seemingly trying to calm himself, and then raised his head.

His gaze swept across the field, passing over Li Tiezhu, who was clad in heavy armor and exuded a murderous aura.

He swept past the silent, abyss-like forest.

She glanced at Su Qiong, who was holding a cigarette between her fingers, her eyes cold.

It swept past Jiang Shu, who had two pigtails and a round face...

……

Finally, his gaze fell on the person in the very center of the circle, who was idly kicking pebbles at his feet.

Then, he froze.

He blinked, seemingly unable to believe what he was seeing.

That boy.

He looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a general's uniform from the Shenxia Legion, without any special armor.

His face even had a hint of sleepiness, his hands were in his pockets, and he stood there loosely, looking no different from the neighborhood boy sunbathing by the roadside.

But it was precisely this appearance that stirred up a storm in his heart.

This is... the commander of the Calamity Legion who destroyed Falling Cloud City with a laugh and extinguished the self-destruction of the Saint of Eland with a flick of his finger.

The intelligence described it as a demon god that crawled out of the abyss, a terrifying being that caused everything to wither wherever it went.

The stark contrast left the elven officer completely bewildered.

He had prepared his speech all the way, and all those impassioned words and reasoned persuasion got stuck in his throat at this moment; he couldn't utter a single word.

Her face, already pale from fear, was now as white as a sheet of paper.

"Oh……"

Gu Xu burst out laughing when he saw the look of utter disbelief on his face.

He stopped kicking the pebbles, took two steps forward, stopped in front of the elf, looked him up and down, and got straight to the point: "I heard you were looking for me and even brought me a letter?"

Although Gu Xu said this very softly.

But to the elf, it caused an instant surge of pressure, making him feel as if his heart was about to leap out of his throat.

But he suppressed his fear and bowed to Gu Xu with an elven salute.

Place your right hand on your left chest and bend slightly forward.

Then, speaking in a slightly accented but still fluent Shinsha language, he said, "Yes, esteemed commander of the Shinsha Legion, I am Elwin, here to deliver this letter on the orders of the Greenleaf Elders."

As he spoke, he took out a scroll from his pocket and presented it to me with both hands.

The scroll was emerald green, with a leaf-shaped emblem embroidered on it in gold thread, and an elven sealing wax stamp was pressed at the seal.

Looking at it this way, it really does have a high-end, classy feel to it.

However, Gu Xu didn't take the letter. Instead, his eyes lingered on the scroll for a moment before returning to the face of the elf named Elwin.

"The Green Leaf Pie?"

Gu Xu pronounced the name as if he were savoring some novel food: "Never heard of it. I am not familiar with the factions within your Elven race."

"Of course, I don't want to know."

"I'm just curious, why did you go to all this trouble to deliver this message to me? Could it be... that you're inviting me to a barbecue at your Emerald Palace?"

Upon hearing this, Erwin hurriedly waved his hands in protest, "No...no...no, you've misunderstood!"

"because……"

At this point, Alvin gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind: "Because we Emerald Leaf Faction are not on the same side as those madmen in the Emerald Court."

"Oh……"

Hearing the other party's explanation, Gu Xu drawled out his words, exchanged glances with his deputy legion commanders, and a half-smile appeared on his face: "Not on the same side anymore?"

"That sounds...quite poignant, doesn't it?"

"When you attacked our Divine Xia, why didn't you say you weren't on the same side as the Jade Court?"

"When we captured Silver Fern Valley, why didn't you say you were on their side? Where were you when we besieged Falling Cloud City?"

"Now that we've breached your defenses, you're coming out saying you're not on our side?"

"Don't you think it's a bit late?"

Every word was like a small hammer, gently tapping on Erwin's heart.

It's not serious, but it hurts a lot.

Alvin's face paled even more, and after a long pause, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Our elder of the Emerald Leaf Society is merely a Moon Goddess Priest in the Emerald Palace!"

"And Elonnis controls the military power of the Emerald Court; anyone who opposes him will be purged."

"We...we are outnumbered and outmatched, unable to contend with High Priest Elonis, which is why we had no choice..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Gu Xu interrupted him: "So that's why you had no choice but to jump ship, rather than die with that guy Elonnis?"

At this point, Gu Xu chuckled and shook his head: "You've got a pretty good plan, huh? Quite the opportunist, aren't you?"

"No...that's not it."

Upon hearing this, Alvin immediately became anxious, his voice rising several decibels: "We've actually been looking for an opportunity!"

"But... but we had absolutely no chance of winning, but your appearance... gave us hope."

At this point, he held the letter high with both hands and handed it forward, his posture extremely humble.

Clearly, he realized that he was no match for the young man in front of him in terms of eloquence, and was about to be led astray without even realizing it.

Rather than making things worse by trying to explain, it's better to just present this letter directly.

"Commander, this letter contains the sincerity of our Green Leaf Faction, as well as... the full details of Elonnis's insane plan."

"If you are willing to accept our surrender, we are willing to show you the fastest road to the Emerald Palace and support your army to dismantle their defenses from within!"

Seeing that the other party seemed to have run out of options, Gu Xu helplessly pursed his lips.

have to……

This guy has really bad mental fortitude.

You only managed to make a couple of jokes and you already gave up?

That's so boring.
