Elven cultivators

Ryan and Mia shared the same confusion.

Mia, who was never one to hide her questions, immediately asked Flora, "What kind of supernatural power did the Second Elder use?"

Because Flora often assisted Eleanor in handling clan affairs, she knew far more than the other disciples of the Primordial City. Upon hearing this, she did not hide anything and said with a smile, "That is the Long Wind Song, a divine ability that enhances movement speed."

Ryan and Mia suddenly realized.

"No wonder the Second Elder's speed is in no way inferior to Fernando's," Mia exclaimed.

However, upon hearing this, a meaningful smile appeared on Flora's face.

"The Song of the Long Wind is not just about this."

As if in response to Flora's words, the battle situation in the water screen suddenly changed.

Above the battlefield, the sound of the wind, like a song, had reached its peak.

Then, all the sounds merged into one, forming a deep and vast resonance.

It seemed as if only one sound remained in the world.

That was the sound of the wind falling from the heavens, carrying the vast and boundless charm of the sky.

The Second Elder's figure finally appeared in person at this moment.

He did not dodge again.

All the wind, all the momentum, all the speed, all converged in that instant onto the longsword in his hand, transforming into a streak of azure light that stretched across the heavens and earth, striking straight out.

Fernando only saw a streak of blue light.

It was as if the wind itself had condensed into a sword, cleaving down from the heavens.

The next instant, the blue light was already in front of him.

Even with the astonishing reaction speed granted to him by the Law of Lightning, he couldn't dodge the attack in time.

boom!

The blue light struck Fernando squarely in the chest.

The electric shield around his body was like cloth being cut by a sharp blade, silently tearing and collapsing to both sides.

The next second, Fernando's body plummeted from the sky like an iron ball struck by a giant hammer, creating a crater several meters deep on the ground, sending debris and dust flying into the air.

The blue light had already subsided.

The Second Elder's figure reappeared in the sky, his robes billowing gently in the wind, without a speck of dust on them.

"Amazing!" Mia's eyes lit up, and she murmured in shock.

A hint of amazement flashed in Ryan's eyes.

No wonder Flora said that the Long Wind Song and the Lightning Law are different.

In terms of both speed and attack power, Changfengge is clearly superior to Lightning Law.

This is not just a difference in strength between the Second Elder and Fernando, but a difference in the level of laws.

If we have to make a comparison, Changfengge's divine ability is at least at the intermediate level of a law.

At the same moment the Second Elder killed Fernando, the battle on the ground also came to a conclusion.

The Scaled Lizard Cavalry on both flanks were the first to rout the Giant Hoof Cavalry, and then, like two sharp longswords, they cut into the Blackstone Commander's formation from the flanks.

The Blackstone army, which was already in a state of retreat, completely collapsed after its flanks were breached.

The soldiers dropped their weapons and fled in all directions.

The officers tried desperately to stop them, but to no avail.

Panic spread like a plague through the ranks, engulfing everyone as they ran backward.

The Blackrock army was routed.

In the tower's lobby, the elves cheered loudly.

Even the usually calm and reserved members of the document hall couldn't help but wave their fists vigorously, their faces beaming with undisguised joy.

A hint of joy appeared on Flora's face.

While Ryan and Mia were delighted by the clan's victory, they also felt somewhat helpless.

They had originally planned to join the war, but they didn't expect it to end so quickly.

Blackstone Territory was defeated in just one day, which was quite unexpected.

But on second thought, it's not surprising.

Whether it was the quality of the soldiers, the sophistication of their equipment, or the clash of high-level combatants, the Silver Moon Legion held an overwhelming advantage.

Although Blackrock Territory is one of the dominant powers in Green Highlands, it is still not on the same level as the Silvermoon Clan.

This war was never in doubt from the very beginning.

"What a wasted trip." Mia sighed. "I should have just stayed in Nine Nether City and accepted the exploration mission."

"Who said you came for nothing?"

Flora's eyebrows curved, and a hint of cunning shone through her smile.

"Although the war is over, there's still a lot of cleanup work to do. Since you two are both here, why don't you come and help?"

Ryan and Mia exchanged a glance and both gave a wry smile.

They came to fight, but ended up as laborers cleaning up the mess after the war.

Even so, they eventually nodded in agreement.

Lucius happened to be there too. The four of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they took this opportunity to have a good get-together.

……

The war between the Silvermoon Clan and Blackrock Territory ended much faster than anyone had anticipated.

In just one day, the Silvermoon Clan's army breached Blackrock City, located in the Blackrock Mountains.

Lord Fernando of Blackrock was killed in battle, and his high-ranking officials surrendered, leading to a change of control of Blackrock.

The news sent shockwaves through Eldron Plains and the surrounding region.

All forces watching this war were taken aback.

Before the war broke out, most people were convinced that the Silvermoon Clan would win.

No one expected that the Silvermoon Clan would win so easily and so quickly.

One of the dominant forces in the Green Highlands was defeated by the Silvermoon Clan in less than a day!

This is absolutely shocking!

Those forces that previously had only a vague concept of the Silvermoon Clan's strength finally gained a clear understanding of a fact through this war.

Today, the Silvermoon Clan has grown into a behemoth with a complete military system, powerful industrial capabilities, and abundant resource reserves.

Its combat capabilities have far exceeded those of local forces.

However, something even more surprising was yet to come.

Half a month after the war ended, while all sides were still digesting the news of the Silvermoon Clan's annihilation of Blackrock Territory, an unexpected message came from Green Highlands.

The Azurescale Clan, another dominant force in the Green Highlands, proactively sent an envoy to the Silvermoon Clan, offering up the magic stone mine they controlled and requesting to become a vassal race of the Silvermoon Clan.

The news caused an uproar in Green Heights.

The Azure Scale Clan is no small force.

With sea creatures at their core, they have integrated multiple coastal races and operated along the southern coast of the Green Highlands for hundreds of years. They command an elite army and possess a powerful fleet that strikes fear into the hearts of people along the coast.

In terms of strength, the Azurescale Clan is not much inferior to the Blackrock Territory; otherwise, they would not have been able to stand on equal footing with the latter in the Green Highlands.

Yet this formidable force actually submitted to the Silver Moon Clan.

This development was truly unexpected for many people.

However, upon closer examination, the decision of the Bilin clan is not incomprehensible.

The destruction of Blackrock Territory has clearly shown everyone what it means to confront the Silvermoon Clan head-on.

The Azurescale Clan certainly doesn't want to become the next Blackrock Territory.

Rather than surrendering after paying a heavy price, it's better to take the initiative while you still have leverage and try to achieve a relatively dignified outcome.

Moreover, the Silvermoon Clan's mild attitude towards its vassal races is also well-known.

Many races thrived after becoming vassals of the Silvermoon Clan.

Such treatment is unimaginable among other forces.

After that, the Silvermoon Clan accepted the surrender of the Azurescale Clan and allowed the Azurescale Clan to retain their territory.

Apart from taking over the magic stone mines of the Azurescale Clan, the Silvermoon Clan did not demand any resources from them.

As compensation for the Azure Scale Clan's surrender of the magic stone mine, the Silver Moon Clan even allowed the Azure Scale Clan to purchase more goods from them.

In this way, although the Azure Scale Clan lost a magic stone mine, it gained a significantly higher purchasing quota than other vassal races, and in the long run, it actually benefited more.

Regardless, this war changed many things.

The entire geopolitical landscape of Green Heights was completely rewritten in just half a month.

With the fall of Blackstone Territory and the submission of the Azurescale Clan, the once-powerful duopoly vanished, replaced by a new order dominated by the Silvermoon Clan.

The Silvermoon Clan's sphere of influence expanded beyond the Eldron Plains to include the Green Highlands, marking a crucial step in its transformation from a local power to a first-rate force.

Many factions began to reassess the strength of the Silvermoon Clan, and the results made them even more silent.

There are roughly three standards that are generally recognized as the criteria for a first-class power in the Dawn Continent.

First, they possess a well-organized Black Iron Legion with at least 30,000 men.

There is no doubt that the Silvermoon Legion is the Black Iron Legion.

Although their numbers are relatively small at present, considering the Silver Moon Legion's equipment and talisman configuration that far exceed those of ordinary armies, their actual combat power has already surpassed that of a typical Black Iron Legion.

With the continued growth of the Silvermoon Clan's population, it's only a matter of time before the Silvermoon Legion expands to over 30,000 men.

Second, it must have at least one saint in charge.

As everyone knows, Anton Silvermoon, the patriarch of the Silvermoon Clan, is a legendary swordsman at the pinnacle of power.

The key point is that he is not even two hundred years old.

Among all the top legendary powerhouses, this age is simply exceptionally young.

Given the terrifying rate of growth that Anton has shown so far, coupled with the long lifespan of the Elven race, it is almost a certainty that he will become a Saint.

Third, it possesses sufficient economic strength and resource reserves to support a protracted war.

The Silvermoon Clan has undoubtedly already satisfied this requirement.

Rune-inlaid equipment, tempered metals, potions, talismans, magic crystal products... the Silver Moon Clan's goods sell well throughout the continent, and their trade network covers most of the Dawn Continent.

The amount of gold and resources flowing into Silvermoon Forest each year is a figure that many factions envy.

Not to mention that the Silvermoon Clan also controls five magic stone mines.

This level of control over resources is comparable to that of any top-tier power.

In summary, although the Silvermoon Clan has not yet reached the standard of a first-class power, it undoubtedly has the qualifications to strive for first-class status.

All it lacks is time.

The rise of the Silvermoon Clan is an undeniable fact.
