Chapter 138: Daphne: Surrender Is No Disgrace! Your Majesty, How Can This Be?
Daphne was meditating in the clouds, far away from the inner city of the ruins below.
But when the golden light appeared, she also felt a sense of deterrence, as if her soul had been cleansed and purified.
The deterrence came from the Divine Law.
The sense of purification came from the Light Law.
These two laws were exclusive to the Light Faction.
Intelligent races of other factions rarely mastered them.
Especially the Divine Law, which even beings of the Light Faction rarely touched.
Generally speaking.
Only a very small number of high-ranking members of the Light Faction had the potential to possess Divine Power.
It could even be said that anyone with the talent for Divine Elemental Affinity, even if they were initially of low status and unknown identity, would be immediately given priority training by the Light Faction once discovered, and would occupy a high position in the future.
This was because Divine Power was the core power of angels.
If an ordinary person had the talent for Divine Elemental Affinity, it would be considered a gift from the Goddess of Light in the eyes of the Church of Light, and they would naturally be given priority training.
Now…
The Divine Law and the Light Law appeared simultaneously in the inner city of the ruins below.
Daphne naturally felt that there were Followers of Light in the inner city, and they were Followers of Light of very high status.
At least at the Cardinal level.
After all, one could only master laws after stepping into the Demigod level.
A Demigod who mastered both the Divine and Light Laws, how could he not be a big shot in the Church of Light?
“Could it be that the Elf Race and the Angel Race have formed an alliance again?”
Daphne was shocked, and then said, “It’s not impossible! After all, in the God War of the past, the Elf Empire and the Angel Race were allies, fighting against the Demons together.”
“Now, although the Demons have withdrawn the Burning Legion, their outposts remain.”
“There are Demon Nests all over the world.”
“The Demon army could return at any time.”
“In addition, the Evil and Dark factions are powerful. Neither the Elf Race nor the Angel Race can fight them alone. Therefore, it is normal for them to conclude an alliance again and fight together!”
For a moment, Medusa Daphne made up a lot of things in her mind.
She even began to speculate that the master who burst out with the Divine and Light Laws was not just a Follower of Light, but an angel. Because the Divine and Light power contained within was too pure.
But after careful consideration, she felt that the probability was not high.
Because angels had not appeared for thousands of years.
“It seems that there were rumors a few years ago that…”
“Followers of Light appeared in the Chaotic Plains.”
“Chanting the doctrines of the Church of Light in the darkness.”
“Now that the Sun Elf has just been born and hasn’t even stepped into the Demigod realm, the Church of Light has come to conclude an alliance. This speed is really a bit fast.”
Daphne sighed with mixed emotions.
The Elf Race concluding an alliance with the Church of Light, and even the Angel Race, was naturally a good thing for intelligent races like them who were oppressed by the Evil and Dark factions.
She certainly hoped that the Dark Continent could return to the beautiful and peaceful world it once was.
Thousands of years ago.
Before the Demons invaded.
This world was not called the Dark Continent. ‘Dark Continent’ was the name given by the Evil and Dark factions after the Demon’s Burning Legion swept across all races in the world.
Before that, this world was called the Holy Spirit Continent.
At that time, all races coexisted harmoniously and developed steadily.
Humans ruled the Fertile Land (Chaotic Plains), Elves controlled the Emerald Plains (Forgotten Swamp) and the Forest of Life (Dark Forest), Beastmen lived in the northern grasslands, Dwarves and Giants lived in the St. Yavar Mountains…
The Dragon Race lived in the West Sea Islands, ruling the nearby seas.
And their Medusa Race lived in the deep sea, establishing the glorious Medusa Empire.
It could be said that all races in the world at that time were in a very peaceful state, at least on the surface. Unlike now, where evil creatures were everywhere, and countless creatures were slaughtered every day.
Although she was a Demigod, standing at the top of the world.
As long as there were no major disasters, she could still live well in this dark world.
But she didn’t want this world to continue to sink.
She also wanted to see the beautiful and peaceful ‘Holy Spirit Continent’ that her ancestors had spoken of.
“I was still hesitating.”
“Whether to lead the Mermaid Archipelago to bow down to this Sun Elf.”
“Now it seems.”
“It seems that there is no other choice!”
Daphne already had a very clear understanding of the strength of the Ruin Elves. Although there were no Demigods here, there were nearly twenty Saint Rank professionals, and more than ten thousand Transcendent professionals.
There were countless top races and top professions.
The most crucial thing was…
The growth rate of the Ruin Elves was too terrifying.
In the near future, more Saint Rank professionals, and even Demigods, would surely be born.
Just one Ruin Elf had given her almost insurmountable pressure. Now, there was another Church of Light that had formed an alliance with the Elf Race…
With the support of the Church of Light, the power of the Ruin Elves would inevitably soar.
It would be even more difficult for their Mermaid Archipelago to resist.
So, she had no choice but to surrender.
Of course, she could also return to the Mermaid Archipelago now, taking the Mermaids, the Sea Race, and the Water Monsters they controlled away from Skyhorse Lake. In this way, the Sun Elf would probably not trouble them.
But as Sabrina said…
After leaving Skyhorse Lake, where else could they go?
The ocean had been polluted by evil forces, and they couldn’t go back.
“Back then, my Medusa Race also followed His Majesty Alsace, the Sun Elf King, to fight. Now, bowing down to the Sun Elf King of this era is not a loss of dignity for our race…”
Daphne comforted herself.
Her restless inner world quickly returned to peace.
After figuring it out.
Her mood was obviously much better.
The pressure on her seemed to have disappeared.
“Since the decision has been made, it’s better to do it sooner rather than later!”
“Tomorrow, I will find an opportunity to pay a visit to His Majesty the Elf King…”
As she pondered, Daphne took out a long-distance communication magic equipment and contacted the Mermaid Chieftain who was in Skyhorse Lake. Naturally, she had to inform the Mermaid Chieftain about such a big matter.
However, after a long time, the communication still could not be connected.
“I forgot.”
“Caroline should be in secluded cultivation at this time, trying to break through to the Demigod level.”
“With her talent, plus the things I prepared for her, there is a high probability that she will succeed in one fell swoop…”
A hint of joy appeared on Daphne’s face.
Once Caroline broke through, they would have two Demigods.
Daphne put away the communication equipment, then closed her eyes slightly and continued to meditate in the clouds.
She planned to wait here for the arrival of dawn.
What Daphne didn’t know was that this night would be an unforgettable one for her.
◈◈◈
Inner City Territory.
The dazzling golden light gradually dissipated.
The aura of the Divine and Light Laws was also retracted by Lin Yi.
He opened his eyes, his gaze as clear as a mirror, as if it could reflect all the evil and darkness in the world.
His temperament had also changed greatly.
His whole body seemed to be enveloped in a faint divine light, making him look holy and noble, and there was also an inviolable majesty… These were all changes brought about by the power of the Divine and Light Laws.
◈◈◈
Different laws, different attributes.
Would also bring different temperaments to people.
Just like Daphne, who was as gentle as water, with a hint of charm and enchantment. This showed that she had mastered the Law of Water, as well as a law related to spirit or enchantment.
“Congratulations, Your Majesty, on mastering the profound meaning of the laws!”
At this time, Anna and Elf Princess Aina appeared before Lin Yi together.
They were obviously very happy.
Especially Elf Princess Aina, whose admiration for Lin Yi almost overflowed from her eyes.
After all, these were laws!
Their Majesty had just been promoted to the Demigod level during the day, and he had already comprehended the profound meaning of the laws at night, and he had directly comprehended two of them. This talent was too terrifying.
“This is indeed something worth celebrating,”
Lin Yi said with a smile, “Later, you call Evra to the territory, and the four of us will celebrate together!”
“As you command, Your Majesty!”
Secretary Anna nodded with a smile.
When Elf Princess Aina, who was standing beside them, heard Lin Yi’s words, her delicate and fair cheeks instantly flushed red, and her petite body trembled as if by reflex.
She understood too well what Lin Yi meant by ‘celebrate’.
She instinctively wanted to back out.
Because she didn’t know how to face her mother.
But just as the words reached her lips, she saw Lin Yi looking at her with a smile, and she immediately lowered her head, her flushed cheeks rendering her speechless.
She comforted herself inwardly.
Her mother loved her the most and would definitely help her at the critical moment.
Thinking about it this way, it seemed that celebrating together wouldn’t be bad?
◈◈◈
Lin Yi looked at Anna and asked, “Has the army withdrawn?”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Anna replied respectfully, “Following your will, except for some elves still hunting in the swamp area, the rest of the legions have all withdrawn to the territory.”
These ‘some elves’ only included the Elf Swordsmen, Elf Archers, and some Elf Mages trained today.
Other troops that were also trained today, such as Elf Huntresses, Elf Priestesses, Elf Druids, etc., would also participate in the expedition to the Demonized Forest.
“At this moment, the army is resting in the North District.”
“The Holy Water of Life has also been distributed, including a portion of the Elf Spring Water that was previously stored.”
“It is estimated that around three o’clock in the morning.”
“The army will teleport to the Lake Island Outpost, merge with the Elf Army led by Chieftain Evra, and then march into the Demonized Forest…”
After a slight pause.
Anna continued, “I sent people to the Goblin Kingdom. The Spirit Rice there has been harvested. Plus our previous food reserves… There is no shortage of food for the army’s expedition.”
“In addition, I also plan to bring a batch of high-level Magic Energy Cannons made by the Goblins.”
“Just in case…”
Then Anna continued to talk about some arrangements for this war.
After listening.
Lin Yi nodded approvingly.
He said, “This time, the army will not return to rest like when we were clearing the swamp waters. Before we completely conquer the Demonized Forest or successfully establish an outpost, the army will have to stay in the forest for food and lodging.”
“Therefore, all preparations must be made adequately.”
Anna nodded, indicating that she understood.
The expedition to the Demonized Forest was related to the subsequent development of the entire territory, so she naturally did not dare to be careless.
She had discussed many things with Evra, Sera, and others. It was not just her own opinion.
Lin Yi said with a smile, “There’s nothing else. When Evra comes, tell her to remember to bring the Energy Crystals harvested today.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Anna respectfully accepted the order.
◈◈◈
Evra was very fast.
Lin Yi waited for less than half an hour before she walked out of the territory’s teleportation array.
“Your Majesty!”
Upon seeing Lin Yi, Evra handed over a spatial equipment.
After conquering the Lizardman Kingdom and clearing out the various evil forces in the swamp waters during this period, the army had also obtained some spatial equipment.
Basically, the ‘big shots’ of the territory were all equipped with it.
In addition, there was also spatial equipment specifically for storing spoils of war.
Evra said, “Today, the Lake Island Outpost has harvested a total of over 3.7 million Energy Crystals, as well as some Magic Cores, Mana Gemstones, and various magic potions.”
“Not bad!”
Lin Yi immersed his mental consciousness into the spatial equipment.
He immediately saw a mountain of Energy Crystals inside.
In addition, on the ruins side, the army led by Anna had also harvested over 5 million Energy Crystals. Adding them up, there were a total of 9 million. It was a great harvest.
Lin Yi did not hesitate.
He immediately gave birth to the 30,000 Wisps of the new day.
Then he trained 10,000 Elf Archers and 10,000 Elf Swordsmen respectively, and also equipped 5,000 Elf Mages, 1,000 Elf Huntresses, and 500 Gryphon Knights.
A total of 4.5 million Energy Crystals were consumed.
Then Lin Yi consumed another 3 million Energy Crystals to train 100 Ancient Treant Warriors, 100 Forest Giants, and 100 Unicorns respectively.
Except for the Unicorns…
These newly trained Ancient Treant Warriors and Forest Giants were all assigned to the newly trained Elf Legion, including the evolved Eternal Treant Guardians and Mammoth Giant Heavy Cavalry.
Their task was to escort and protect the newly trained elves.
There were about 1.5 million Energy Crystals left, which Lin Yi used on 【Temple of Divine Grace】.
Treant troops, imbued with high-level physical enhancement.
Unicorn troops, imbued with high-level magic attack enhancement.
Elf Druids, imbued with high-level physical attack enhancement and intermediate physical defense enhancement.
After this wave of operations, the Energy Crystals were basically exhausted.
“Let’s leave it at that for now.”
“We’ll continue to enhance them when we have money later!”
Lin Yi sighed slightly. He was out of money again.
However, after this series of enhancements, the overall combat power of his army would inevitably increase dramatically.
Then Lin Yi teleported the newly trained Elf Legion to the Lake Island Outpost, letting them take over the Elf Army there to continue clearing the surrounding swamp waters.
In this way.
Both the Lake Island Outpost and the ruins side had Elf Legions carrying out the task of clearing the swamp waters, achieving what he had said before, killing two birds with one stone.
“Let’s go, let’s celebrate my successful mastery of the laws…”
Lin Yi, without any further ado, pulled Evra into the nearby tree house with a bright smile. And inside the tree house, Anna and Elf Princess Aina had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Elf Princess Aina sitting obediently beside Anna.
Evra’s beautiful and mature face instantly flushed red. Even with her composure, she almost lost it at this moment.
“Your Majesty, how can this be…”
“It’s okay, we’re all family!”
“???”
