Chapter 27 (1/2)

The moment the guard entered the tent, he immediately sat down on the commander’s seat.

The commander of the Lion Knights actually stood to the side without showing any displeasure.

The guard slowly took off the red helmet on his head to reveal a golden-haired young man.

If the nobles of the Sky Eagle Empire saw this, they would definitely be shocked, because the young man in front of them was the first heir of the Sky Eagle Empire, Clarence.

“Prince Clarence, you saw it just now. The elves have no intention of giving in. What should we do next?”

As soon as Molma finished speaking, Clarence grinned. “Commander Molma, what are you worried about?”

“I just feel that if we rashly send out the Lion Knights and Rufael’s Sorcerers, I’m worried that when the old king would find out…”

“Father’s health has never been very good. We should take some responsibilities from him when we can. As for unfortunate incidents such as this, we shouldn’t let him hear about it at all, lest his condition worsen.”

Clarence interrupted what Molma wanted to say with a smile of a man who had everything under his control.

“I’ll inherit the Sky Eagle Empire sooner or later. Moreover, my teacher, Saint Mage Gordon, is also greatly in support.”

“Moreover, I paid a huge price for the knowledge of the Elven Queen’s current situation — that she was poisoned.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If something happens to the Elven Queen, there would no longer be a Saint-level powerhouse in the huge elf race, and they would be just there for the taking.

“At that time, the other nine human kingdoms and the orc kingdom would all try to profit from the situation.

“We must turn this situation to our advantage before they realize it. Only then would we be able to reap the greatest benefits. Time waits for no man.”

Recalling the details of the battle during the day, Molma nodded. “Yes, the Elven Queen doesn’t seem to have any intention of fighting us.”

Everything that happened today was basically under their control.

Clarence laughed out loud. “The elves now are not the elves from a thousand years ago. Even the druid warriors from back then are on the verge of extinction. We don’t have to be afraid at all.”

‘Instead of letting others devour them into pieces, it would be better to let our Sky Eagle Empire devour them.’

‘Only then will we be able to reap the greatest benefits.’

In fact, Clarence’s ambition was not limited to that. Obliterating the Elves was only the first step. The second step was to swallow the orc kingdom. Just like that, he would slowly become the overlord of the sacred continent and create a new era.

Thinking of this, Clarence’s light flickered. He licked his dry lips and said, “Ever since the elven hunters were killed, it’s been a long time since I’ve tasted a beautiful female elf.”

After taking down the elves this time, the business of selling the elves would all fall into the hands of the Sky Eagle Empire.

This was a huge profit and a huge asset. It could even lay a solid foundation for them to dominate the continent.

However, the mages they secretly sent, disguised as hunters and elves living in the tribes, had mysteriously disappeared.

This matter was rather mysterious.

…

Late at night, the Lion Knights were patrolling the outskirts of the Heavenly Night Forest.

Suddenly, a black figure scuttled out like a cheetah in the moonlight.

This black figure was very fast. The patrolling knights could not detect its existence at all.

It was only a blink of an eye. This black figure merged into the boundless darkness once again.

It was as if it had never appeared before.
