The Bizarre Adventure of the Warhammer Elves

Chapter 432 Wood Spirit, activate!
——Avalon, Wiloo River
At this moment, the territory of Avalon has long been transformed into a paradise for dark elves. Whether it is the low-level soldiers who are dragging the high elf captives to have fun or the nobles enjoying the pleasure, they are all bathed in the joy of victory.

This is the first time in their history that they have set foot on the land of Ulthuan, and it is also the first time that they are so hopeful that they can completely conquer the promised land given to their ancestors by the ancient saints.

The joy of victory filled the entire military camp, but the joys and sorrows among the elves were obviously not connected:
"Witch...Your Majesty the Witch King, we still haven't been able to find any traces of the Eternal Queen. Perhaps she is still hiding in the surrounding forests at this moment."

"All the assassins we sent have been killed. Judging from the wounds on the bodies, the murderer should be the Shadow King."

"Currently, all the main forces of the High Golden Elves are retreating to the vicinity of Fennoir Plain. Once our reconnaissance troops cross the river, they will be attacked by the Airion Pegasus Knights in the sky."

……

Located in a luxurious and bright tent, dozens of fear lords wearing armor were kneeling on the ground, fearfully looking at the dark figure who had been silent for a long time on the throne.

Although the Dark Elf troops have now gained an overwhelming advantage on the frontal battlefield, they are well aware of the anger in His Majesty the Witch King's heart at this moment.

Because their final strategic target, the Eternal Queen Alarielle, is still missing!
Due to the delay in finding the trace of the Eternal Queen, His Majesty the Witch King has killed several fear lords in a row in this month, and the cloud of death hangs over all the high-ranking lords.

At the moment, they can only use good news from the frontal battlefield to try to calm the other party's anger.

Unfortunately, such perfunctory behavior obviously had the opposite effect:
"Shut up! You useless losers!"

His Majesty the Witch King, who was sitting on the throne, was obviously tired of the lords' reports. He angrily opened his emerald-like dark green eyes and scanned the lords, and then angrily rebuked:
"A full month has passed now. Even if the Eternal Queen was dragged out of Avalon by Aris, can't your nearly 10,000+ elves and demons find a little girl?"

"Please forgive me!"

The fear lords were so frightened that they hurriedly fell to the ground to show their submission. A large amount of cold sweat flowed into their eyes along the gaps in their armors. However, no lord dared to make any move.

Even the lord who has never seen it again understands the principle of shooting the first bird, so the best thing to do is to just shut up.

His Majesty the Witch King looked at these fearful lords lying at his feet with indifferent eyes. If it weren't for the fact that they would be needed in the next war, he would really want to kill all these useless lords!
But in the end, the Witch King still suppressed the anger in his heart and turned his gaze to the sand table, then stretched out his hand to place the black dragon flag symbolizing Rohan into the Kingdom of Elion, and at the same time ordered:
"Inform Rohan and ask him to send troops to occupy the entire Kingdom of Elion as soon as possible. Since the Eternal Queen has not appeared on the side of the Velu River, she must be preparing to go to the Kingdom of Itaien through the Kingdom of Elion.

Prepare the bloody ritual. I will personally summon the secret keeper Na'kari to come to the mortal world to help me capture the eternal queen. The eternal queen's soul is his reward, do you understand? "

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After hearing that they were not going to die, the fear lords got up from the ground as if they were being pardoned, and then left the camp as if fleeing for their lives to prepare for the bloody ritual of summoning the secret keepers.

They may not perform satisfactorily when it comes to carrying out war missions and search missions, but if they are allowed to use bloody methods to torture high elf captives in order to summon the evil Keepers of Secrets, then they can perform like a fish in water!
It’s just that the Witch King, who is arranging his troops in front of the sand table, the fear lords who are preparing for the ceremony, and even Rohan who is far away in Elion don’t know what changes summoning the secret keeper will bring about in the future...

——Athel Loren, Age Oak
The Age Oak is the home where forest spirits were born and grew up. It is also the home of the wood elves who split after the War of Longbeard in the forests of Athel Loren.

In the past, the Longbeard War, which lasted for centuries, the colonies of the high elves in the old world (the Bretonnia and Marienburg regions, and most of the Southern Kingdom) were destroyed in the war, and countless elves Immigrants and colonists died in this dwarven revenge war.

When the Battle of Longbeard ended, the elven armies that had suffered heavy losses took ships to prepare to return to Ulthuan to deal with a new round of invasion launched by the Witch King. The elven colonists also received orders from the Phoenix Court:

[Ulthuan abandons all overseas colonies, and all overseas immigrants immediately return to Ulthuan, preparing to participate in the next war]

It is precisely because of this order that the elven immigrants who had lost their relatives and homes were completely angry!

What a joke, the reason why elven immigrants like them stay away from Ulthuan is not because they need to find a place to start over in their hometown, then they come here for the wealth and treasures of the old world.

After thousands of years of pioneering, they have already accumulated massive wealth in their homeland in the old world. At the same time, they have also become culturally estranged from the native elves in Ulthuan.

What's more, although the relationship between the elven immigrants and the dwarves who are also neighbors is not close to each other due to personality reasons, their relationship with each other is not at all likely to start a war.

As a result, due to the instigation of the dark elves, the immigrants' strongholds and caravans were first inexplicably attacked by the dwarves, and then they were forced to participate in a formal war with the dwarves, and ultimately suffered huge losses.

Now that the war is over, you native elves from Ulthuan not only have no intention of helping us rebuild our homeland, but you also want to coax us back to start a new round of war and serve as coolies?
There are no doors!
In the end, under the secret manipulation of the forest spirits, this overseas elven immigrants gave up their allegiance to the Phoenix Court and entered the forests of Athel Loren, where they began to pursue isolationism and non-interference policies.

According to common sense, the current Athel Loren Forest has just experienced the war with the rat people in the Rat Waste City, and it should take a good rest and wait until next spring's Wild Hunt Era to retaliate.

However, now, several woodland lords and forest spirits gathered around the roots of the Age Oak, including the Twilight Sisters who had just defeated the witch woodrat invaders.

At this moment, the two sisters were guarding outside the cave of the Oak of Time with serious expressions. Even Arohan, who had always been unruly, kept alert to the surrounding disturbances with his beautiful eyes, holding weapons tightly with both hands.

Not long after, an enchanting elf maid walked out of the tree hole wearing clothes made of leaves, and then said to the surrounding forest lords:
"Our two relatives are now at war again for the so-called legitimate throne. This time Queen Ariel convened everyone to seek the opinions of the lords."

As soon as these words came out, all the forest lords looked at each other and got into the discussion. From the faint smiles on their faces, it was not difficult to see how happy they were about this elven civil war:
"I didn't expect them to start fighting again. I really have to admire Manekis's perseverance. I just don't know if he can succeed this time."

"I heard that he has occupied most of Ulthuan. Maybe one day his name as Witch King will really become Phoenix King~" "Phoenix King Malekith, hahahaha, just... It feels so funny when I hear it!”

……

The exchanges between the woodland lords are full of joy. Isolated from the world, they don't care about the outcome of this war at all. The only thing worth caring about is whether the roots of the era-like trees in Avalon will suffer. to spread.

However, the war launched by the Witch King this time seems to be inevitable for Ulthuan, so he has already ordered the dark elf troops in advance to prohibit the burning of the Oak of Ages, and even repatriated all the forest spirits.

Under this situation, even the wood elves can't find any reason to interfere in the Ulthuan unification war. Malekith wants the Phoenix Throne, so give it to him.

However, not all woodland lords are so careless:
"But I heard that the Witch King's invasion of Ulthuan this time was an alliance with the devil. If the power of chaos becomes popular in Ulthuan, will it threaten the growth of the roots of the Oak of the Ages?"

The voice of a woodland lord broke the conversation and laughter. You must know that Green Chaos and Chaos have always been at odds. Forest spirits are more terrifying than demons in the eyes of demons, so naturally they can't get along with each other.

Although Nestra and Alohan didn't say much, a chilling light flashed through the eyes of the Twilight sisters.

If Ulthuan is really corrupted by the Chaos Demon, then the roots of the Era Oak in Avalon will almost certainly be destroyed by the demon, which is something the Wood Elves will not allow!

You must know that the Witch Forest was established based on the roots of the oak tree of the Age of Avalon. Once the roots in Avalon are destroyed, the Witch Spirit will also be implicated and wither!
"In the name of Queen Ariel!"

Just as the forest lords were arguing, the two sisters who acted as door gods suddenly sang with impassioned and impassioned voices, immediately shutting up all the forest lords present.

rustling --

Accompanied by the sound of the autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves from the cave, a pair of purple-blue wings like a butterfly in the spring breeze slowly covered the entire cave entrance, revealing the beautiful figure with white hair and purple skin wrapped in it.

That is the incarnation of Elsa, Queen Ariel, one of the twin kings of Athel Loren!

Queen Ariel's slender eyebrows, as long as fluttering moths, were seen dancing gently in the warm wind. Under the long green veil was a coveted yet respectable figure.

Although from the perspective of elves, Queen Ariel's figure can be said to be perfect, the vast majority of woodland lords will not have the thoughts that Slaanesh expects from Queen Ariel.

After all, Queen Ariel is the incarnation of the Mother Goddess Elsa. Falling in love with Queen Ariel is simply against the law even from the elven values.

"Dear Lords of Fear, just now I have obtained some information about the battlefield of Oswan Bay through Oak Roots."

Queen Ariel's gentle and quiet voice made every woodland lord present feel a warmth like a spring breeze, but the content of the next words made them all shiver involuntarily:
"After all, we still underestimated the temptation of the Phoenix Throne for Malekith. He has used a terrible bloody ritual to release the powerful secret keeper under Slaanesh, Na'kari, from the seal, and his target is the new... The new eternal queen!"

wow——

As soon as these words came out, the woodland lords who were still gloating about the war in Ulthuan immediately started talking, obviously not expecting the Witch King to be so crazy.

And more importantly, although the vast majority of wood elves have a hostile attitude towards their compatriots living in Ulthuan, their attitude towards the eternal queens of the past generations is slightly ambiguous and friendly.

After all, the Eternal Queen is also the Elf Queen who inherited the power of the Mother Goddess, Elsa. In the eyes of the Wood Elves, she is more or less related to her own Queen.

Now, coupled with the threat of the Slaanesh Keeper to the Yeast Oak of the Ages, every woodland lord's eyes are focused on Queen Ariel.

To help, or not to help?

"Although the Athel Loren Forest has always advocated peace and stability as the center of development, the struggle against external forces has always been based on the principle of not interfering too much..."

Queen Ariel.First, through a long speech, he explained the neutral chaos position that the wood elves have adhered to for thousands of years, and then said in a gentle but firm tone:

"But in order to protect the Oak of Ages from the destruction of Chaos, and at the same time strangle the Keeper of Secrets in the cradle... Lord Scarlock, please lead your best scouts to Ulthuan through the oak roots to stop the attack. The Keepers of Slaanesh’s pursuit of the Everqueen!”

"I obey your orders, Queen Ariel. I wonder if we need to join the civil war between our kin in Ulthuan against the dark elves?"

After receiving the order, a wanderer wearing a gray-green cloak stood up from among the woodland lords and began to ask about his mission.

The Lost Ranger is a compliment to the best of the rangers. Each of them is a true hunter and lurker, and Scarlock is the best among this group of Lost Rangers!
Faced with Scarlock's inquiry, Queen Ariel shook her head without hesitation, revealing a touch of ruthlessness in her gentle tone:
"It is meaningless for us, Asrai, to join the civil war between elves. Our people should not make sacrifices for the personal desires between the two elven kings."

"As ordered, we will return as soon as we complete the task of blocking Nakari."
