Chapter 25 (1/2)

The Elf Queen regained her divine majesty and asked, “What’s going on!”

“The elves living on the outskirts of the forest have gotten into conflict with the Sky Eagle Empire’s cavalry. The Elf Patrol has received news and is on their way to confront the cavalry!”

“What? Conflict with humans? How could this be!” the Elf Queen frowned.

“Apparently, it’s because the cavalry crossed the border, and some elves got injured when they went forth to stop them.”

“Bang!” The Elf Queen slammed her hand on the table as she stood and said, “The Sky Eagle Empire has been behaving more and more outrageously over the years. Do they think the elves will sit back and allow them to bully us?”

The Sky Eagle Empire was one of the ten human countries.

Due to geographical circumstances, it was connected to Heavenly Night Forest and was why they often conflicted with the elves.

In the past, it had only been minor arguments, but this time, they dared to send out a cavalry.

“Inform Elder Norton to bring some people over. We must drive the human cavalry out of Boundless Forest.”

No one had expected the elf who had come forth with the report to show a troubled expression on their face when the Elf Queen finished speaking.

“Elder Norton is already on the way, My Queen. The Sky Eagle Empire has not just sent out any ordinary cavalry this time. Instead, they have sent out their best cavalry, the Lion Knights!”

“What? They’ve sent out the Lion Knights!”

The frown on the Elf Queen’s face instantly deepened.

The Lion Knights were the Sky Eagle Empire’s elite force. Only the imperial family could mobilize them.

It would be fine if they had just been ordinary cavalrymen. However, things would not end easily if they were the Lion Knights.

It would most likely have something to do with the imperial family.

The Elf Queen was still in thought when the elf continued saying, “Elder Norton was arguing with them because he was dissatisfied with their actions. However, he was ambushed and severely injured by their Archmage, Molma.”

“What!”

Two voices rang out at the same time. One of them belonged to the Elf Queen, while the other belonged to Chris.

Elder Norton had taken great care of Chris during the time he had spent with the elves.

Take the incident at the Moon Well as an example. Elder Norton had not immediately been concerned about the fact that Rufael’s skull had been stolen. Instead, he had been more concerned about his safety. That one fact was enough for him to be unwilling to stand by and watch while Elder Norton was injured.

Besides, did the Sky Eagle Empire think no one knew about the disgusting things they got up to secretly?

Now that they could no longer operate in the shadows, they were preparing to attack?

“How dare Molma, a mere Archmage, dare behave atrociously in the elves’ territory? Are they really bullying the elf powerhouses because we don’t have any Saint-level powerhouses?”

Knights also cultivated combat aura, just like swordsmen. However, their combat methods were different.

Swordsmen were good at offense, while knights were good at assault.

The Elf Queen was furious as she took the Kaiser Bow that had been passed down several generations in the Elven era.

The Sacred Continent’s magic equipment was divided into eight levels, and the Kaiser Bow was a solid level 7 weapon.

“Let your queen personally meet these human Lion Knights.”

The Elf Queen’s original plan was to not allow Chris to follow, but she then considered the fact he would not gain experience if he remained sheltered.

Although Chris was only fifteen years old, it would be a good idea for him to witness the dangers of the real world and grow up quickly because the elves were currently facing both internal and external problems.

However, before they set off, the Elf Queen reminded Chris multiple times to hide behind her if anything happened.

She was afraid that something would happen to him.

Chris could not help but shake his head.
