Real elves vs fake elves

Before entering Lothern, this group of mages had witnessed the Chaos Cultist barbecue competition held by the Phoenix Sisters. The group of demon worshippers being barbecued often had all kinds of disgusting abilities, which gave the mages a headache. If they were not careful, they might fall into the trap of these rats.

Then, this group of mages watched helplessly as the nuns of the Phoenix Temple massacred these damn Chaos believers, and then impaled those damn Chaos believers on wooden poles and strung them with incense sticks. It was extremely horrifying from beginning to end.

In most people's impressions, nuns either wear slim monk robes, or wear even less, the kind that can go out with two curtains on their chests. In general, they are also auxiliary units, applying buffs before fighting, healing those who are injured, and staying behind the team when they have nothing to do. They are standard auxiliary roles, and being a vase is an important part of this auxiliary role.

This is also the reason why nuns among humans dress in increasingly depraved ways.

The nuns of the Phoenix Court were different, and they were even different from ordinary elves. In order to take advantage of their speed, ordinary elves had very strict requirements on the weight of their equipment. The sword of the White Tower Sword Master looked like a human giant sword, but in fact it weighed only about one-tenth of it, and was the standard "light as gauze, thin as paper", with a high magic content.

The same is true for armor. The silver steel equipment that the elves are known for is light weight rather than defense. This measure is to prevent overly heavy equipment from slowing down the speed of the elf warriors.

But the Phoenix Sisters were different. They wore heavy armor that looked very scary, with only two holes on their bodies. The weapons in their hands were even more exaggerated heavy equipment, mostly flaming maces and flaming war hammers, which gave people a wild feeling that could make people feel hungry. Their long-range weapons were crossbows processed into the shape of torches. Of course, this crossbow was named "crossbow" because it was actually a flamethrower, which could spray Asuryan's wrath at those damned elf enemies at any time.

If human nuns are good sisters who can give people comfort and security, and can make people happy and excited just by sticking their butts in there without doing anything else, then these elf nuns are the dark ones who want to have a barbecue party at the slightest disagreement, and will slash people's heads anytime and anywhere. Standing at the back of the team can indeed help boost morale (supervising team).

It just doesn't look like an elf style.

Now this group of shadowy people were wandering on the streets of the factory area, often followed by four or five cat soldiers holding short crossbows. These nuns were not only engaged in night patrol work, they were always holding an incense burner that was emitting holy smoke. This incense burner was the size of a papaya and was covered with terrifying spikes. It was connected to the arm armor of these nuns by a hideous iron chain, which looked more like a meteor hammer than a religious object.

Order Warrior plus Order Censer Monk belongs to it.

Now, it was a night patrol team with such a configuration that frightened these noble mages who had just spoken so boldly that they dared not move, and even their breathing became much weaker, as if they were afraid that the Order Incense Burner Monk would kill them if they disagreed with him.

After the nun walked away, the group of people finally breathed a sigh of relief, but soon an inappropriate remark made the situation tense again.

"Why is the patrol density of this group of nuns so high?!"

Of course, it’s because the technology here is the black box of the Light People back then. The God of Greed was able to use these black box technologies to deal with the Light People back then, so using the same method to deal with the elves today is definitely not a problem.

However, this group of mages were unaware of this situation. Their first reaction was that their purpose had been leaked. After receiving the news, the elves stepped up their vigilance.

"It must be because of Frankenstein! It was because of his previous behavior that aroused the elves' vigilance!"

These words were said by Blake, but they were also what everyone was thinking. They consciously kept silent and let the blame be thrown on Frankenstein's head.

No one can afford to take the blame, so it is most appropriate for this kind of slave to take it.

After deciding on the person to take the blame, the psychological pressure on the young mages was suddenly reduced a lot, and they even used their spells more easily.

It was also unknown whether it was an illusion, but they seemed to have had good luck along the way and never encountered another patrol team.

Such a strange phenomenon naturally aroused Frankenstein's vigilance. He advised three times along the way, but the young wizards did not listen to his advice once. After all, these young people seemed to really think that their current difficulties were caused by

It was caused by Frankenstein. If you listen to even a little bit of this "bad idea" from a loser, you will be rushing towards failure!

For this kind of slave, only his face is somewhat useful.

After twenty minutes of stealth, the group of people finally arrived at a workshop that looked very unusual. The charmed cat-man leading the way stopped and stood there in a daze, as if his brain was blank.

"Is this where the blueprints are stored? Something feels a little off..."

"Aren't blueprints usually stored in offices? This is clearly a workshop..."

The young wizards were wondering when they saw the "charmed" cat-man suddenly rush towards a corner, silently and at an astonishing speed, just like a cat that has been magnified several times, the kind of cat with "seven times the reaction speed".

Except for Frankenstein, the other wizards waited until the cat ran into the shadow of a corner before they reacted. Even after they reacted, two of them obviously did not realize what this incident meant and still looked confused.

When Maomao was about to flee, Frankenstein had already reacted and opened the shield without any hesitation. Sure enough, the moment he opened the shield to cover everyone, a rain of arrows like locusts arrived as expected. Except for one unlucky guy, the rest of the people were safe and sound.

Snapped!

Snapped!

Snapped!

The lights in the workshop suddenly lit up, and all the light was directed at the uninvited guests. The scorching light caused the surrounded mages to be blinded for a short time.

The mages were surrounded by the factory's security team.

Chapter 53: The Order Incense Burner Monk is indeed extraordinary

"Change visual mode."

Frankenstein didn't care whether the wizards could listen to him or not. He quickly changed his vision mode to adapt his eyes to the rapid switching from extreme darkness to extreme light. It was also through this superb reaction ability that he clearly saw who his enemy was.

Five elven nuns stood in front, followed by fifty or sixty cat-man security guards. These security guards were holding crossbows for close combat. Although these crossbows had a short range, they could achieve firepower greater than the total of five or six archers in a short period of time.

In the previous wave of volleys, even Frankenstein's deflection shield could not offset all of the arrows.

"It's a master." A nun swung the terrifying incense burner in her hand, and a holy breath lingered around her. The holy smoke quickly spread with her movements, enveloping the group of mages without any hindrance.

After finding himself surrounded by the holy smoke, Frankenstein was horrified to discover that his magic resonance level began to decline rapidly at a clearly perceptible speed, and the deflection shield he supported also began to become unstable.

"What's going on?! Why can't my summoned weapon be used?!"

Blake said in horror. Although this guy was foul-mouthed and had a lot of trouble, he was the first one among the mages to react and immediately tried to resist. However, even Frankenstein's magic resonance began to become unstable, let alone this kind of mage apprentice?

Now, those who can summon a small fireball are considered capable.

"Use Shadow Cloak and Wind Shadow Step to lead them away quickly. I will stop these people!"

After finishing speaking, Frankenstein immediately focused on the use of magic. The deflection shield was switched to a rigid shield. Several magical lights began to shine around him. The door to the other world was forcibly opened by powerful magic. Some monsters born in the underworld were about to descend here and desecrate this place.

Frankenstein's words also made Blake stunned, and then he actually cursed impatiently.

"You really want to be a hero? You really want to be a hero..."

"If you can survive this time, I will...my family will free you from slavery."

After saying that, Blake cast a spell and led a group of people to escape out of the workshop door.

Frankenstein was unmoved by Blake's words. He still stared at the group of people in front of him seriously. Firstly, he could not afford to be distracted in the face of a powerful enemy. Secondly, he had heard such words countless times, but no one had ever been able to fulfill them successfully.

Clemena had worked so hard to create such a perfect thing, how could she allow others to touch her masterpiece?

In the time it took to say these two sentences, Frankenstein's teleportation magic was successfully completed, and several creatures from the underworld descended into this world. They cruelly waved their blasphemous claws, intending to bring destruction and chaos to this world...

"Fuck!"

This is true in theory, but the first words of these underworld creatures left Frankenstein confused.

"How did you get to such a clean place?!"

"I'm going to live, I'm going to be stuck with something clean!"

"The corruption of order here is too high! My body is beginning to disintegrate!"

As soon as they appeared and before they started fighting, this group of summoned creatures began to scream and shout, as if people had seen a ghost. They no longer had their former ferocity and tyranny, and were left with only sissy-like ghostly roars and howls.

Suddenly saw

When the corresponding things came, the Phoenix Sisters also began to shout and scream. This group of crazy women immediately began to brandish terrifying heavy weapons and roared as they charged frantically, as if they were going to completely crush everything in front of them.

The posture of such a powerful and tyrannical warrior also frightened these unfortunate creatures from the netherworld. They clearly felt the extremely uncomfortable aura from these weirdos, and then being charged at by these clean creatures was even more outrageous than seeing four cockroaches in an attack formation rushing towards a person's face.

"Why is the door closed?!"

"It's over! There's no going back!"

"What's going on? What happened?!"

"Where is the person who summoned us? Where did he die?!"

The creatures from the Netherworld collided with the nuns amidst screaming and shouting, and in an instant heavy weapons began to swing wildly, and the holy fire of the Phoenix burned desperately. The nuns helped the creatures from the Netherworld to straighten their bones, and used fire to warm up these monsters. It was very heartwarming.

Blake, who rushed out with a group of people, was stopped by three Phoenix nuns as soon as he stepped out of the door. Although they cast various magic spells, this group of people had no way to hide in front of the nuns. One of the nuns hit the handsome guy on the head with an elbow, knocking him out. The cat people followed seamlessly and quickly controlled the group of mages with forks and ropes. It was so easy that it didn't even seem like a fight.

Frankenstein, who had let the wizard apprentices escape through the door and summoned a bunch of underworld creatures, had already escaped to somewhere unknown, covered with a shadow cloak.

Although Frankenstein is the wizard's slave, he is also a very powerful wizard in his own right, skilled in many magics, especially puppetry and necromancy, but what many people, especially Clemena, don't know is that the wizard Frankenstein is most proficient in is actually Shadow Cloak.

This guy's shadow cloak is so powerful that it is inhuman. He managed to escape even from the trap set by the nuns and cat people.

Although he is a stitched monster who deals with corpses all day long, his desire for life and survival still exists. Frankenstein has been practicing various life-saving techniques for now.

The wizard apprentices never imagined that Frankenstein, who had always maintained a loyal character, would use them as bait. After discovering that those nuns hated Chaos even more, Frankenstein decisively chose to summon creatures from the underworld instead of other summons such as elementals and undead.

Sure enough, as he thought, these two simple actions allowed him to successfully escape and ascend to heaven. Mission and loyalty were insignificant to Frankenstein. Survival was the top priority. Although he had not experienced birth, he did not want to experience death at all.

"The battle is over. The infiltrator has been captured. One person escaped. It is recommended to start a search."

Soon, these Phoenix Sisters gathered together, and each of these dark and ruthless people was more ruthless than the other.

"The factory area is sealed off, the city is under martial law, additional personnel are deployed to the main entrances and exits of Lothern, the Giant Eagle is sent to the sky, and the militia is mobilized to conduct a large-scale investigation of suspicious persons."

The nun in the lead, who was holding the incense burner, quickly took a series of preventive measures.

"Inform the king of the above situation urgently. These measures are beyond our ability to accomplish. We need more support."

Chapter 54: Lothern's Restlessness

More than six years ago, Aenarion entered Lothern alone, intimidated many wild elves through brute force, and conquered the leader of this group of wild elves, Tyri, with his personal charm and physical strength.

It was from this time that Aenarion's imperial ambitions began to unfold smoothly. Where Aenarion was before, where did he come from, even the closest people to the Phoenix King did not know, but because of his deterrent power, no one was willing to explore this issue.

Since then, although the current Phoenix Court is powerful, it has a fatal flaw: Aenarion himself has no base.

Whether it was the Wild Elves, the Moonborn, or the Wildborn, they were all conquered by Aenarion, and none of them were close to the Phoenix King in the literal sense. This Elf King was like a detached demigod, making it impossible for people to get close to him.

Non-elves might think that Aenarion was nothing more than a king of the court, but the elves knew that this great man was a mystery, a mystery that everyone longed to know but could never fathom.

In the Phoenix Temple, a group of combat monks led by Phoenix Sister Vivian were sitting in a circle discussing the search for spies. Just when they were about to work out a careful plan, a monk rushed in from outside the door, in such a hurry that he didn't even knock on the door.

"The Council of Five Hundred refuses to allow us to impose martial law on the streets! They claim that we have no right to do so! This move will shake the foundation of the Phoenix Court and satisfy our ambitions!"

After hearing these words, many monks immediately became furious, but Vivian remained calm. She knew the nature of the elves, and she also knew that these monks also knew that things would turn out like this. Their anger caused by "failure to share the country's worries but being blocked by treacherous ministers" would soon be spread throughout Lothern and even the entire Phoenix King Court by those with ulterior motives, bringing huge reputation to the Phoenix Temple.

"Also, when I was about to reach the temple on my way back, I found that all the private soldiers of the big families and the so-called 'parliament guards' were dispatched.

, they are searching the city for that spy!"

"These bastards are trying to take credit for our work!"

These words completely moved the monks present, and even Vivian was quite surprised.

"How come these pampered fat women react so quickly? Aren't they usually known for being lazy and slow?!"

In the past, they were naturally known for their laziness and slowness. Recently, Aenarion had given these bigwigs in the council a wave of pus and blood...

"Since the royal court's transfer order is bound to come, we will go directly to the streets to participate in the search and arrest operation!"

"We don't need the consent of the Council of Five Hundred. As long as we have the King's order, we can also impose armed martial law!"

"We just acted a little earlier than the imperial edict. There must be no problem. If there is any mistake, I will explain it to Lord Aenarion in person!"

Thus, as several forces inexplicably began to carry out court conspiracies again under the pretext of espionage, all the armed forces in Lothern took action, except for the capital's defense station, which should have been responsible for this matter.

Seeing all the monks in the Phoenix Temple leaving, the Cheshire Cat made a sharp comment, "They are just a bunch of insects."

Ignoring the Cheshire Cat's weird tone, Vivian turned and walked towards the backyard of the monastery. She was going to seek help from the temple guards. It was uncertain whether it would succeed or not, but she had to give it a try.

At the same time, Aenarion, who was in the center of the storm but aloof from the world, was playing with a weapon in his hand, which was a double-barreled large-caliber musket. This shape was indeed a plus version of the legendary "Mingchuang-Taikokubeng", which looked very majestic and domineering, and could make people broad-minded and open-minded.

"This is a gift from our Fire Salamander Kingdom to you. It is the result of our engineers' hard work and technology. It is a powerful device that far exceeds long-range projectile weapons such as bows and crossbows. It is a terrifying device that can change the situation on the battlefield."

“And this is our gift to you.”

The person who was speaking to Aenarion now was a dwarf with fiery red hair and beard, and he spoke in a very arrogant manner.

The reason why this guy appeared in Lothern was nothing more than for two things.

Trade!

Fuck the Shen family!

This group of dwarves looks honest and stubborn, but they are actually very smart. After they learned the reason why the Deepborn left the underground in large numbers, they immediately decided to cooperate with the Deepborn's enemies on the ground.

The rulers who can lead a country are not easy to deal with. The envoys of the Fire Salamander Kingdom came to the Phoenix Court, not only for diplomatic needs, but also to test the quality of this emerging elven court.

Now on the surface, it seems like, oh my, that’s quite impressive.

"It's no longer a firearm of the flintlock or needle-percussion level. It's a firearm that can fire bullets."

Aenarion replied calmly that the humans were still equipped with a large number of flintlock rifles, and the second-line troops were even using things like crossbows and matchlocks, but the dwarves had already started to make such things...

This means that humans should be equipped with breech-loading firearms within a few years. As for the dwarves, the main weapon of their army is still the heavy crossbow that humans cannot break. The fact that a small number of troops are equipped with flintlock rifles has been considered too radical by many stubborn dwarves.

In short, the reason why humans and dwarves burst out with such powerful power after forming an alliance is that the dwarves were responsible for drawing the blueprints, which were then sealed by the Engineers Association. Then humans bought the blueprints from the Dwarf Engineers Association and built this "radical beardless elf" weapon according to the blueprints.

The Fire Salamander Kingdom is considered an outlier among the dwarves. They are relatively "radical" and like to work as mercenaries. They are full of shirtless double-axe muscular men. Their weapons use a lot of enchantment technology and they will sign contracts with monsters like giant fire salamanders.

When faced with mountains and seas of underground monsters, these fire salamanders would rush into the battlefield on giant fire salamanders, killing a large number of enemies and burning more enemies to ashes.

No need to worry about burning your butt.

"I am very satisfied with this weapon, and I will accept it."

Aenarion nodded. Humans were now advancing at an astonishing speed, while the elves and dwarves, the sunset races, would eventually sink into the valley like the setting sun.
