In the capital of the Silvermoon Kingdom, in the temple under the branches and leaves of the Ancient Tree of Life, green branches and leaves climbed on the walls of the palace's eaves. Several unknown fruits that flickered with different colors decorated the dome. A clear lake water flowed in the palace, and a few colorful fish jumped out from it occasionally.
The fairies of flowers and trees were only as big as a human palm. They danced in the flowers happily, leaving behind a glow like fireflies. The entire palace was full of vitality.
Outside the palace, elven guards in green armor stood neatly in two rows on the jade stairs, guarding the temple and their queen from any invasion.
"General Anaya, Her Majesty the Queen is praying to the Lady of Silvermoon. Please wait a moment!”
The two guards crossed their spears and blocked Anaya's path. They spoke in a stiff but respectful tone.
Although the elves were rich in rangers and were good at small-scale group battles, it didn't mean that the elves didn't know how to fight on the plains. It was just that the elves only had a population of a million, and such direct battles could easily cause huge casualties. Unless it was in the capital or in the defense of the race, the elves rarely engaged in such a level of war.
In history, both humans and orcs had tried to exterminate the elves, but none of them succeeded after paying a heavy price.
Anaya didn't mind the guards 'attempts to stop her. She just nodded and stood still.
Not long after, a cold and melodious voice that sounded like a mermaid's song came from the palace."
"Is it Anaya…Come in.”
The two guards heard the queen's order and put away their spears to make way for Anaya.
Anaya didn't stop. She crossed the pond with countless koi fish swimming in it, walked up the stairs floating on the river, and came to the dome.
The queen of the elves was standing there. Although it was daytime, the light of the silver moon shone down from the hollowed out part of the dome, giving the queen an even more mysterious feeling.
"Your Majesty!"
Anaya quickly walked to the bottom of the stairs and knelt down respectfully.
All the elves loved the queen very much. The reason why the elves could stand tall among the many races today was because of the queen.
The queen was one of the oldest demigods. It was rumored that she had lived for ten thousand years. About eight or nine thousand years ago, whether it was the elves, humans, or orcs, they were still in a relatively primitive period. There were only tribes and no concept of a country. It was the queen who single-handedly gathered all the elves, defeated all the competitors, and established the current Silver Moon Kingdom.
It could be said that the elves were the earliest race to establish civilization on this continent. At that time, humans and orcs were still in a relatively desolate stage. They were no match for the elves who had already established civilization and countries. That was the peak of the elven civilization. Up until now, both humans and orcs were still partially influenced by the elven culture.
However, with the development of humans and orcs, they gradually developed their own civilization with the advantage of population. The elves eventually declined. Now, they could only live in the Munn Forest in the south to protect themselves. They no longer had the ability to dominate the continent.
"Anaya, how is the situation in Central City?”
Galantia opened her mouth, and her joyful voice echoed in the temple. She raised her face, which was always shrouded in fog, and looked in the direction of the Central City. However, even as an ancient demigod, she could not see the dragon's roots clearly.
"I wonder what that dragon is doing to trigger such a powerful mana vortex.”
Galantia murmured and shook her head helplessly.
Anaya did not dare to hide anything and told the queen everything she had seen and heard.
"As expected of an ancient dragon lost in the endless sea of stars…I'm really lucky that I didn't encounter that terrifying natural disaster.”
Galantia whispered. Her voice was so beautiful that it could make flowers bloom.
Anaya lowered her head and did not dare to reply, but she had a strange feeling in her heart.
The Demigod Dragon should have lived for at least 30,000 years, while the Queen should have lived for at most 10,000 years. However, from the Queen's gentle muttering, it felt as if the Queen was treating the Dragon as a junior.
His Majesty must be hiding secrets, but Anaya did not dare to think too much about it. As an elf who had only lived for a thousand years, there were many ancient secrets that she could not know.
" However, that dragon is really interesting. He actually wants to manage his territory personally, and he even knows how to weigh political considerations and borrow power. He can really be considered an exception among the dragons, just like that little girl in the distant Dragon Country.”
The Elven Queen's voice was a little higher and carried a hint of playfulness. Her pleasant laughter was like wind chimes.
Anaya didn't know who the little girl was. She knew about the Dragon Kingdom, but she couldn't think of anyone who could be called a human or a dragon by the queen.
" That dragon didn't give us elves much of a choice. Anaya, go and select a group of elite soldiers to go to the Dragon City. You will be the highest commander of this group of soldiers and be stationed there. The location of the Dragon City is very important to the Silvermoon Kingdom. Even if this city isn't taken over by us elves, you have to be the commander on the front line to collect important information to prevent other races from harming the elves.”
"…Oh right, I'll also pick a batch of my maidservants. The dragon is lazy, so I'll let these maidservants help him clean the palace. Although it didn't say it explicitly, that dragon also used a half-threatening intention to form a hidden alliance with us. Since he helped us become the gatekeeper, we elves have to show enough sincerity.”
" However, Anaya, you must also be careful. Although the dragons are proud and most of the time, their promises are credible. However, if there are enough benefits, the dragons will also go back on their words. Pay attention to whether the dragon has any contact with other races. We can't trust him completely.”
The Elven Queen instructed Anaya in almost every detail. She was very fond of this Ranger General and was interested in nurturing her.
"Yes, Your Majesty! But…was it really okay to let that dragon rule the city?”
Anaya replied respectfully, but after a moment of hesitation, she could not help but ask her own question.
" Let's see what happens first. If His Holiness Galakron really doesn't know how to govern, I'll personally visit him and persuade him to let our elven advisors help him…Remember, although that city is not under our elven control in name, we must control it in substance because that city is really important. To be able to drive away the people of the Papacy from that city without expending a single soldier is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity.”
The Elven Queen's tone was a little low, but she also had the calmness and resourcefulness of a superior.
Anaya did not dare to speak.
Her Majesty the Queen had lived for tens of thousands of years. Her skills were really amazing!
……
On the other side, in Dragon City, Qian Xun opened her dragon eyes and moaned comfortably. She had finally completed her first evolution.
