Philip could not hide the disappointment on his face, and it was obvious that even he was deeply saddened by the loss of such talent.
"Your Majesty, I think you should not continue to tolerate those nobles. Since the fall of the Divine Court Church, their behavior has become more and more arrogant. If they continue like this..."
Having said this, Sebel suddenly shut up, as if he was worried that what he was going to say next would make Philip unhappy.
"Just say whatever you want to say. Don't hesitate. You've been with me for so many years, you should know my character."
Seeing Sebel's hesitant look, Philip couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Okay, let me tell you. I'm worried that if we allow these nobles to continue making trouble, we might repeat the mistakes of the Theocracy."
After Sebel finished speaking, the entire study fell silent.
"Huh, I get it. You go down first. I know how to deal with the next thing."
After a long while, Philip let out a long breath. Perhaps he really needed to teach those guys a lesson.
Five years ago, Elina killed a group of nobles in the royal city of Tara, which frightened those people for a long time and prevented them from doing anything out of line.
But since the fall of the Shenting Church, these guys have begun to show their true colors again.
Do they really think that Elena can kill people, but Philip can't?
Philip stood indifferently in the study, exuding a cold aura.
It can be seen that Bethhild's behavior really angered him.
He could tolerate some actions of the nobles, but he could not tolerate these people shaking the foundation of the entire empire for their own selfish interests.
Even a famous general like Bethhild could be squeezed out, let alone other generals of civilian origin.
It's time to restrain the behavior of the nobles.
Neither Elina nor Bethhild would have thought that this incident would lead to another major purge within the Elek Empire.
As for the elves, after receiving this news, the First Guard was very wise and immediately chose to increase investment.
Massive amounts of funds and equipment are pouring into Yas City.
Having experienced many years, he knew that this era would be Elena's era, and now was the best opportunity to gain favor.
As long as he maintains a good relationship with Elina, no matter how the situation changes, it will not affect the status of his elves.
This is also why he was able to turn a blind eye to Avrola leaving Filia Academy without permission and going to Yas City.
Similarly, the reason why he sent out three full fleets was for this reason.
The three fleets are certainly valuable, but compared to what the elves can get, these three fleets are really nothing.
The First Guard had even prepared for the worst-case scenario in which all three fleets were destroyed outside the domain.
What he didn't expect was that Yas City gave him a surprise right from the start.
In this case, he will naturally make additional investments.
Among the three tribes of Dawn, only the Orcs are the most depressed.
Especially the orc tribe leader Balzac, because of his bad relationship with Elena, he has been expecting Yas City to suffer a defeat in this war.
But unexpectedly, the opponent not only did not suffer a defeat, but instead won a complete victory.
This made Balzac very uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, no matter how upset he was, he couldn't change what had happened.
"Humph, it's just a victory. Yongye just underestimated the enemy. Elina, your army can't always have such luck."
Balzac stood on the castle, looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and snorted coldly.
"Let me see how long your good luck can last."
Chapter 77: Quiet Eternal Night
"Your Majesty, all the Dragon Island's supporters from Yas City have been dispatched to the 13th War Zone outside the Territory in accordance with your instructions. So far, no signs of an attack from the other side have been found."
In the palace of Dragon Island, Bahamut stood behind Lamia and reported respectfully.
"Okay, I see, Bahamut. I guess those Dragons are not dissatisfied."
Lamia nodded and asked softly.
"No, the ones sent this time are all young and strong people who support you. As for the older generation of Doragon, I did not allow them to participate."
Bahamut shook his head.
Although Dragon Island has temporarily regained its calm on the surface, both Lamia and Bahamut are well aware that undercurrents are still surging in secret. After all, Lamia came to power midway, and many of the senior Dragons are unwilling to accept it.
Bahamut would naturally not allow those two-faced Dragons to participate in a battle of this scale.
As for the young and strong faction, they do not have these problems. Those young Dragons have long hoped to establish their own status through a war. Moreover, although they may not have much respect for Lamia, they are very respectful to Bahamut. As long as Bahamut speaks, they will go.
In fact, up to now, Bahamut is still the most influential person on Dragon Island.
In other words, Bahamut has no ambition for the position of Dragon King, otherwise he would have become the Dragon King of Dragon Island long ago, and it would not be Lamia's turn.
"Well, that's good. After all, there are still some personal emotions involved this time, so I'm sorry to everyone."
After hearing Bahamut's answer, Lamia nodded slightly.
If it wasn't for helping Elina this time, Dragon Island wouldn't have been involved in this war.
Of course, if the extraterritorial war is won, it will also be beneficial to Dragon Island, but compared with the risks Dragon Island takes, these benefits seem insignificant.
"Your Majesty, please don't say that. You represent the entire Dragon Island. For Dragon Island, your will is the will of Dragon Island, and your emotions are the emotions of Dragon Island. There is no such thing as private statements."
After hearing Lamia's words, Bahamut lowered his head slightly and his tone became more respectful.
The fact that Lamia could say such words showed that she still cared about the interests of Dragon Island. Bahamut did not expect Lamia to put the interests of Dragon Island first like himself, but it was enough for her to keep them in her heart.
"Well, thank you Bahamut, and thank all the Dragons who are going on this expedition for me. Tell them that as long as they can make achievements in this war, I will never let them down."
As she spoke, Lamia smiled at Bahamut behind her. She knew what the Dragons who went to the battle cared about, which was nothing more than the treasures in the Dragon King's treasury.
The treasures in there are the lifelong collection of His Majesty the First Dragon King. There are countless rare and precious treasures of all kinds. Only the successor Dragon King can use this treasury. Even Bahamut is only qualified to guard the treasury.
The reason why Dragon Island has been torn apart for so many years is partly related to this unopenable treasure house.
"Yes, then I would like to thank His Majesty on behalf of those children."
After hearing Lamia's words, Bahamut was a little excited, and he bowed slightly.
The Dragon King's treasure house can finally appear in the world again. It has disappeared for tens of thousands of years since his teacher left.
"You're welcome. This is the reward they deserve."
Lamia smiled slightly, then turned her head, looked at the distant sky, and asked softly:
"Bahamut, tell me, how long will it take for me to see Elina?"
After hearing Lamia's words, Bahamut smiled and said:
"Your Majesty and Lady Elina will be able to meet again soon, but not now. Both Your Majesty and Lady Elina have their own missions to complete. I think you can meet when this war is almost at the confrontation stage. Before that, Your Majesty must suppress his longing for me."
After hearing what Bahamut said, Lamia's face looked a little lonely. Becoming a king would naturally bring more responsibilities, whether it was her or Erina.
They can never go back to the days when they could be heartless and indulge themselves every day.
"Elina, I hope you can successfully achieve your ideals and end the war completely."
Lamia prayed for Elina in her heart.
······
"Life and death, has the eleventh floor of the Golden Ruins Tower begun to study such profound content?"
In the underground training room of the City Lord's Mansion, Elena was practicing with great concentration.
Life and death have always been eternal topics on this continent.
Because death is so terrible.
No matter how powerful a person is, when facing death, he will feel fear in his heart.
For example, the former Pope Diogenes.
He lost his mind in the face of death and did a series of crazy things.
In the eyes of the practitioners on this continent, there is a huge gap between life and death. One is heaven and the other is earth. There is absolutely no possibility of the slightest connection between them.
But from the perspective of the Tower of Golden Ruins, the boundary between the two does not seem to be that clear.
In the cultivation system of the Great Zhou Empire, life and death are like yang and yin, which are interdependent and indispensable.
Unfortunately, even though Elena had figured out some clues after so many days of research, she still couldn't figure it out and was kept out.
"Huh, since entering the tenth floor, my progress has been getting slower and slower. If it wasn't for a coincidence last time, maybe I would still be stuck on the tenth floor now."
Elina sighed helplessly.
But she didn't dwell on it too much, she knew that this kind of thing couldn't be rushed, she could only take it step by step and slowly, waiting for things to come to fruition naturally.
Thinking of this, Elina stood up, washed up simply, and walked out of the underground training room.
"Teacher, you finally came out. This is the intelligence sent by General Kyle and others in the past few days."
As soon as Alina came out, she could see Victoria waiting outside the door.
After all, I had told her the specific training time before, and this girl must have come here before the time came.
"Is there no movement at the front?"
Elina briefly checked the battlefield log and frowned slightly.
The eternal night is too quiet, so quiet that it’s a little eerie.
Could those dark emperors really swallow their anger so easily?
Elina found that unlikely.
The stronger the storm, the calmer the sea becomes.
From Elina's perspective, Eternal Night is likely planning an even more powerful attack.
It's just that it may not be in the 13th War Zone, but somewhere else.
Chapter 78: Eternal Night's Resolution
"Teacher, judging from the intelligence provided by General Kyle, we can breathe a sigh of relief for now."
Victoria, who was standing nearby, saw Elena's brows slightly frowned, and smiled and comforted her.
"Victoria, do you really think that Yongye will admit defeat so easily this time? I think they will definitely find a way to launch a new offensive in other war zones."
Alina handed the battle report to Victoria and said calmly.
“Teacher means...”
Victoria groaned.
"Victoria, do you think Yongye will just swallow this anger?"
Elina smiled softly.
······
"We certainly can't just swallow this anger! The defeat of the Thirteenth War Zone is simply a shame for our entire Eternal Night!"
"You, and all of you, as the Dark Emperors of Eternal Night, can you really swallow this?"
After the Eternal Night Conference ended, the Werewolf Emperor Herbert directly used his identity as the Dark Emperor to convene another emergency meeting.
After all, in this war, his werewolf tribe suffered the heaviest losses, with two dukes and five marquises killed. The loss of high-level combat forces directly reached about one-third of the total losses, not to mention those middle and low-level combat forces, earls, viscounts, barons and ordinary dark soldiers.
As the leader of the werewolf tribe, he naturally could not tolerate such a huge loss.
"Herbert, calm down. We have already lost the initiative. The 13th War Zone is well defended. Even if we send a large army to conquer them, it will only be in vain at a heavy price."
After hearing Herbert's words, a dark emperor of the fallen angel clan shook his head.
It’s not that they didn’t think about attacking the 13th War Zone, but the opponent’s speed was too fast, so fast that they couldn’t react at all.
Moreover, not long ago, Doragon on Dragon Island had already arrived at the 13th War Zone. In this case, even if they sent the prince there, it would be of no avail and would only throw more troops into this bottomless pit.
Now it seems that the situation is very clear. The other side wants to build the entire Thirteenth War Zone into a bridgehead for outward attacks. That place is only a few hundred kilometers away from Yas City, separated by only one war zone, and it also penetrates deep into the heart of Yongye's extraterritorial territory. It can be said to be a thorn.
