Chapter 377 An Unexpected Discovery

Who am I? Well, I think my name is Iris. Staying in this dark basement for a long time really makes people want to go crazy. I wonder if I will even forget my own name after a while.

Ever since I was caught by those disgusting humans, I have been completely trapped in an unimaginable horror life. Those hateful scum actually did such disgusting things to me. I want to die, but I can't. The medicine that is constantly maintained in my body makes it difficult for me to control my body, and the same is true for the other sisters in the basement.

Father God, please save us lost people, even if we lose our lives.

Hey, what's the sound outside? It seems to be a scream? Could it be that the city above is attacked? It shouldn't be possible. I vaguely remember that this is the hinterland of that dirty empire, and it is impossible for anyone to break in. I guess it's those hateful humans who are taming slaves again.

"Squeak--" The sound of the secret door opening suddenly sounded in the dim basement.

Ah! Are those disgusting humans coming to torture us again? No! This time I must not give in. The little power I have quietly recovered is enough to perish with that disgusting human noble.

Hmm? Why is the basement suddenly so bright? This... is this an elf compatriot? But how come there are other elves here? They don't look like they were captured.

They talked about me and other sisters, but they didn't show any surprise or contempt. Ah, such a strong elf, what is the white light they cast on me? Oh. It's so comfortable, I'm going to faint.

When I woke up again, Elise and other elf slaves hidden in the basement had been brought to the ground. In front of them appeared Illidan and other leaders of the night elf army.

When searching for resources in Bolivar City, the night elves made an unexpected discovery. In the commercial center of the Holy Lion Empire, the night elves actually found a large number of native elf slaves. Iris and the others were just a few elf slaves hidden by a noble, but more than 300 elf slaves were found in the entire city of Bolivar.

The night elves who found the elf slaves first asked the claw druids to cast rejuvenation on these wounded local elves, and then brought them to Illidan and other heroes.

When the night elves found the elf slaves, Yu Fei also learned the news. This unexpected situation made Yu Fei furious.

Before and after the establishment of the Dark Night Empire, the human world signed an agreement with the Dark Night Empire represented by three empires. The elf slaves in each human country must be released unconditionally and allowed to return to the empire that belongs to the elves.

Although this was a compromise that the human countries had to make under the fear of the strength of the night elves and Yu Fei's tough attitude at the time, it was an agreement in black and white, and the countries seemed to have implemented the conditions for releasing the elf slaves mentioned in the agreement afterwards.

But unexpectedly, the Holy Lion Empire, one of the representatives of the other party to the agreement, actually secretly hid so many elf slaves and did not release them. This is just Bolivar City. Presumably, there are more hidden elven slaves in the Holy Imperial Capital where there are more nobles and merchants.

This behavior that blatantly violated the agreement between the Dark Night Empire and the human countries made Yu Fei angry. Although the local elves are not Dark Night elves like Yu Fei's own children, after they surrendered to Yu Fei, they also showed extraordinary faith and respect for Yu Fei's body. How can they be considered adopted sons?

Some adopted sons were treated inhumanely by the Holy Lion Empire, which initiated the agreement. This is a slap in the face! This suicidal Holy Lion Empire is completely playing a monkey! Yu Fei, who is far away in the Dark Night Imperial Capital, gritted his teeth.

But it's good. This unexpected discovery gave the Dark Night Empire a better excuse. Although the original excuse occupied the righteousness, there was no real evidence. Most human countries, including the other two major human empires, were actually half-believing and half-doubting.

Otherwise, the Canaan Empire would not have been eyeing the Dark Night Empire at the border after the Dark Night Empire put forward such a high-sounding reason.

Now, the Holy Lion Empire has hidden a large number of elven slaves, violating the agreement between the Dark Night Empire and the human country, but there is real evidence that it is very clear. With this excuse, even if the Dark Night Empire conquers the Holy Imperial Capital, it is a legitimate move.

Those hidden native elven slaves have been subjected to long-term inhuman abuse and are extremely weak. Even with the rejuvenation of the claw druids, they are not materialized night elf soldiers and cannot enjoy the effect of complete recovery.

Illidan, who was entangled in how to settle these rescued elven slaves, simply brought these more than 300 native elves into the team. Anyway, as long as they are arranged in the heavily protected archer troops, they will not be killed in battle.

After searching and wiping out Bolivar City, the night elf troops who were accidentally discovered soon left Bolivar City and rushed towards the last obstacle between them and the Holy Imperial Capital-West Saint Pass.

Not to mention the surprise of the native elves who were blessed by the Swiftness Aura and the Wind Control Magic, it still took an hour for the night elf troops to arrive in front of the West Holy Pass.

This time, the Night Elves' advance will not be as smooth as before. Because some time was wasted in Bolivar City, it has been nearly three hours since the Night Elves attacked Kervo City. The Holy Lion Empire, which had received the magic message long ago, has made the best preparations that can be made in a short time in the West Holy Pass.

Although the royal mages in the imperial capital did not believe that the invasion army of the Dark Night Empire had come so far from the imperial capital when they received the magic message, the mages who confirmed that it was not a joke quickly informed the emperor of the news.

The emperor of the Holy Lion Empire is different from other countries. He is not called by a certain generation. As the descendants of the Holy Empire that almost unified Eslaze, every emperor of the Holy Lion Empire calls himself the Holy Emperor, without a suffix such as several generations, to show their uniqueness and confidence for thousands of years.

After receiving the news from the royal mages, the first reaction of this Holy Emperor was that this is not a joke, right? Everyone in the Holy Lion Empire thought that the invasion army of the Dark Night Empire was still blocked in the west of the empire.

However, the Holy Emperor was the Holy Emperor after all. He was incredulous for a moment after receiving the news, and then he reacted. Since the Royal Mage passed the news, it must be confirmed.

Without any panic, the Holy Emperor, who was confident in the strength of the Imperial Capital, calmly issued orders to resist the invasion of the Dark Night Empire that suddenly appeared not far from the Imperial Capital.

As mentioned earlier, the Holy Imperial Capital is a city without walls. The four passes are considered the walls of the Holy Imperial Capital, but generally speaking, there are not many troops stationed at the passes in the four directions. Who would have thought that one day the Holy Imperial Capital would be attacked at the door when the entire empire was still extremely peaceful?

Under a quick holy order, a large number of troops were quickly filled in the West Holy Pass. The imperial guards stationed around the Holy Imperial Capital were not only the 200,000 taken away by Marshal Spender, but the total number of the imperial guards was 500,000.

Although the remaining 300,000 were not the most elite, they should not be underestimated. Under the emperor's mobilization, these 300,000 imperial guards hurried into the West Holy Pass to garrison.

It took the Holy Lion Empire an hour to react, and 300,000 imperial guards took two hours to enter the West Holy Pass from the vicinity of the imperial capital. Compared with the speed of the night elves, if they were not close enough, the pass would have been breached before they entered the West Holy Pass.

Although the West Holy Pass now does not have those hidden strongmen in the Holy Imperial Capital, it is still a difficult pass to conquer.
