Chapter 318 Naga Phantom

Well, I'm sorry that it took so long to revise it because of military training. I'm going to resume updating today, at least once a day = =

————————————————————————

Although Yu Fei looked down on Queen Isabella's little tricks, the rumors about the Heart of the Sky did indeed cause trouble for the Dark Night Empire. After all, the Night Elves are still not firmly established on the Eslaze continent. Although they have temporarily established an empire with their strong strength, there are many forces that are secretly hostile to the Dark Night Empire.

Apart from anything else, at least the human race will never have a good impression of the Night Elves and the Dark Night Empire. The Holy Lion Empire was the most active after the rumor about the Night Elves possessing the Heart of the Sky spread. In addition to possessing the Heart of Light itself, it is probably also thinking of taking this opportunity to test or even attack the Dark Night Empire.

Without Yu Fei presiding over the overall situation in the empire, the new elf officials of the Dark Night Empire, who were originally just elders in a tribe, were obviously not mature enough in handling diplomatic affairs.

Without a backbone, facing the aggressive envoys sent by various forces, the elven elders in charge of diplomacy can only use delaying tactics. Among them, these inexperienced elven elders often appear to be weaker when dealing with those envoys with rich diplomatic experience.

Those diplomats are naturally aggressive. The weaker the elven elders appear, the more they press forward step by step. Because the emperor of the empire, the Elf King Allen, has not appeared, the envoys sent by human countries even clamored that the Elf King must have obtained the Heart of the Sky and hid it for research, and asked the Elf King to come out to explain.

When Yu Fei learned about these situations from the perspective of the night elves in the palace, what kind of emotion did he have? Angry? Maybe, but more of a joke. Yu Fei, who was busy dealing with the affairs of the Shadow Island, did not think much and directly ordered Tyrande and Illidan to respond.

First, Tyrande's Moon God Guard directly blocked the door of the envoys of various forces who were temporarily staying in the Dark Night Imperial Capital. The external statement was that some hardline elements of the Severn Kingdom had recently appeared in the Dark Night Empire and were going to carry out some terrorist activities. In order to protect the safety of the envoys, the Dark Night Empire specially sent the most elite troops to protect them.

However, this protection was a bit strict. No one was allowed to enter or leave the mansion where the envoys lived, including those who purchased food. Facing those followers who asked to go out to buy food, the members of the Moon Goddess Guard blocked them with the reason that it was dangerous outside, including the food might be poisoned.

None of the envoys who were sent to the Dark Night Empire would be fools. They soon realized that they were under house arrest. As for the Moon Goddess Guards who blocked the door, they had no way to deal with them. It was okay to bully those elf elders who were not confident enough, but for the real night elves, their tricks were completely useless.

It was not easy to contact several elf elders again through some means, but those elf elders who had been instructed long ago all said that they had no way and power to manage the night elves, especially the personal guards of the Moon Priestess.

The envoys, who had been starving for two days, finally understood that the Dark Night Empire was serious. Those inexperienced elven elders could not represent the attitude of the Dark Night Empire. Just as the name of the empire suggests, the real leaders of this newly established empire, which was mostly managed by native elves, were still the night elves.

At the same time as Tyrande took action, under Yu Fei's instructions, Illidan, the highest military commander of the Dark Night Empire except the Elf King, also took action. Most of the night elf troops that retreated into the Whispering Wind Forest after the establishment of the Elf Empire all walked out of the Whispering Wind Forest again under the leadership of Illidan.

Several newly transformed heroes, under the assignment of Illidan, each led a part of the night elf troops to deploy in various directions of the Dark Night Empire, and did not hide it at all. The stone giants more than ten meters high and the strange giant birds flying in the sky all brought great pressure to the countries bordering the Dark Night Empire.

Combining the treatment suffered by the envoys of various forces and recalling the fate of the Kingdom of Severn, those forces that were confused by the rumors of the Heart of the Sky calmed down. It is obviously not a wise choice to offend the Dark Night Empire, a rising power, for a rumor that is not sure whether it is true or false.

Although many people want to stroke the tiger whiskers of the Night Elves, no one is willing to be the first bird to come out. Judging from the fact that the three major human empires signed an agreement with the Dark Night Empire after repeated considerations, the forces of Eslaze are more likely to compromise with the Dark Night Empire.

Under the strong attitude of the Night Elves, the turmoil caused by the rumors of the Heart of the Sky was temporarily suppressed. Yu Fei naturally knew that the Dark Night Empire's behavior of not giving everyone face could temporarily suppress the contradiction, but it would definitely erupt under some inducements later, but at that time the Night Elves would probably not care about the erupted contradictions.

As for why he chose to deal with this matter in such a quick way, it was because something happened in the sea area again.

Originally, after Yorick became the fourth speaker of the Shadow Island Council, the things in the sea area could be regarded as temporarily over. If there are no major changes or opportunities in the future, Yorick can only stay in the position of the fourth speaker for the time being and provide some convenience for the night elves' trade.

Of course, Yu Fei would not be satisfied with just this. He also hoped that the pirates of Shadow Island could help him find the Heart of the Ocean, so he naturally had to take full control of the Shadow Island organization.

With the position of vice-captain of the Anchor Pirates, he also contacted the captains of the War Pirates, Widow Pirates and Prison Pirates as Gangplank. However, because the three captains were very powerful, Yu Fei's tried-and-tested mental control finally suffered a Waterloo.

Unable to directly control the old high-ranking officials of the Shadow Island Council, Yu Fei could only hope that the new Yorick under his control could gradually gain greater say. And the opportunity for the Anchor Pirates and Yorick to further their status appeared soon.

Shadow Island is located in the north-east of the Esraz Sea. Compared with the northern waters with a relatively cold climate and relatively few trade routes, the pirates under the control of the Shadow Island organization are actually more active in the eastern waters.

Just recently, some pirates active in the eastern waters discovered some creatures that had never appeared before. These creatures are like the legendary sea creatures, but the legendary sea creatures all live in the deep sea and have nothing to do with the land races. The pirates who discovered the strange creatures discovered them near the coast.

Moreover, except for a small number of pirates who were discovered from a distance and were not attacked by these sea creatures, most of the pirates who encountered suspected sea creatures were attacked. Fortunately, there were not many suspected sea creatures involved in the attack. It seemed that they were more of a test, and the casualties of the pirates were not large.

However, although the danger did not seem high, these newly appeared suspected sea creatures still attracted the attention of the Shadow Island Organization. After participating in the emergency meeting of the Shadow Island Council, Yorick explained the attitude of the Shadow Island Organization to Yu Fei.

Yu Fei has a clear understanding of the status of pirates in Eslazer. Because the Eslazer continent is a whole piece, many races on land do not attach much importance to the sea area regarded as a marginal area. Therefore, there are not many forces developing maritime strength.

When the pirates were in a loose stage, the coastal countries could still launch actions like the pirate clearing activities decades ago, but after the entire eastern and northern seas were integrated into the unified power of the Shadow Island Organization, the pirates could be called the maritime overlords of Eslaze.

Of course, this positioning does not mean that pirates can provoke countries at will. After all, the Shadow Island Organization is just an organization similar to a pirate guild, and the pirate groups are still separate. The so-called hegemony is for the entire pirate force.

But even such a preconditional hegemony can still bring great benefits to the pirates. Apart from anything else, at least the security is much better than when there was no organization. Some of the more powerful pirate groups even divided a piece of sea area for each of them, no longer completely plundering merchant ships, but willingly collecting the crossing fee.

Now a new unknown force has appeared, and it is very likely to be the legendary powerful sea clan in the sea, which will naturally provoke the nerves of the pirates. If the pirates or Shadow Island Organization's dominance is challenged or even overthrown, the pirates' current good life will be gone.

Therefore, after the parliamentary discussion and vote, Shadow Island Organization quickly established its attitude towards the newly emerged suspected sea creatures. Just as those creatures made tentative attacks on the pirates, Shadow Island Organization also decided to conduct offensive probing on the suspected sea creatures - which was also a response to the attack on the sea creatures.

Under Yu Fei's order to seize every opportunity to improve his status, Yorick naturally took on this task with some other pirate groups without hesitation.

In order to enhance the reputation of the new speaker and maintain the majesty of the Shadow Island Parliament, the first speaker Hekarim, the second speaker Evelynn and the third speaker Thresh all acquiesced to Yorick's participation.

Yu Fei naturally expressed his approval for Yorick's clever move. Yu Fei, who was also very curious about those suspected sea creatures, naturally participated in the attack on the unknown sea creatures in the capacity of Gangplank, the deputy leader of the Anchor Pirates.

However, after obtaining the information and magic images collected by the Shadow Island Council, Yu Fei always felt that those suspected sea creatures looked familiar for some reason.
