scepter

Yannick guessed that according to the Elf Queen's original pace, even if she agreed to form an alliance with him, she would definitely not be so eager to make an alliance. After all, he is only a bishop at best now, without much power, even if he has a small reputation in the human world , but it has not reached the point where it can bring any benefits to the elves, but now that the rebels have come, they have completely disrupted the plan of the elf queen, forcing her to rush to see Yannick and Ans. Also want to use the power of the vampire duke.

It must be a good deal, Yannick thought to himself, on the way to see the elf queen, he whispered to An Si who was lying on his shoulder: "Wait a minute, don't talk, leave the negotiation to me."

"Meow~" The Blood Duke, who had turned back into a cat, responded.

The elf baby was held in Elf C's arms and walked ahead, turning back all the time, reaching out and screaming for the priest to hug.

Elf C was amazed at how close the elf baby was to the priest: "Except for Her Majesty the Queen, I have never seen him approach anyone so proactively."

Yannick laughed and said, "Maybe elves have a natural affinity for light magic."

Elf C: "This kind of influence is actually not that great, especially for adult elves. I think it may be because you saved him, so Illus remembers you."

Elf C took them to the Queen's Palace they had been to before, and there were obviously many more elves encountered along the way, and the gate of the palace was guarded by elf guards on three floors inside and three floors outside. Yannick noticed that just as they When I walked over, I could occasionally see the reflection of bows and arrows among the branches that were shaded by dense leaves.

It seems that the situation is really serious, otherwise, even the queen's palace would not have increased such strict protection.

The elf baby was held by Elf C, seeing that Yannick and the others had already entered, but he wanted to stay outside the door, babbling and about to cry, he couldn't even finish his sentence.

Elf C had to coax him in a hurry, worrying secretly: the future elf king has not grown up at all, and now the elf family will face the most serious crisis in history. With the two people just now, they can really say like Her Majesty the Queen. Do you want to save the crisis of the elves?

The Elf Queen still wore the same outfit, but the worry on her face was so thick that it was about to overflow. When she saw Yannick and the others coming in, her expression immediately turned from worry to joy.

"Your Excellency Hill!" The queen walked over quickly, her eyes touched the black cat on Yannick's shoulder, and said in surprise, "Your Excellency, Duke Capeln, why do you still look like this?"

"Oh, you know, a cat's body is always more flexible and agile, and it's not so convenient to transform into a human form, and the shape of a bat is too unsuitable for a vampire, so now he has fallen in love with the feeling of being a cat!" Yannick was talking nonsense.

Elven Queen: "Ah, Julia's blessing, you..."

It's okay not to mention this, but when it is mentioned, the face of the priest is not very good-looking: "Your Majesty, I think the most important thing now is the crisis facing the elves?"

"Oh, yes!" The elf queen didn't have time to care about how the priest solved the "Julia's blessing" just now, she smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry to invite you here in such a hurry, only because of the rebellion of the elves The hunters are already outside the elf territory!"

Yannick: "It sounds like they don't intend to attack yet?"

Elven Queen: "Yes, they are waiting for me to surrender and then take over the elves."

Yannick: "So, Your Majesty, what is your wish?"

Queen of the Elf: "Surrender is equivalent to being attached to monsters. Even if we don't like humans, it doesn't mean we have to cooperate with monsters. This is why I invite you and Your Excellency the Duke to come here today. I hope to cooperate with you. Of course, if the Duke Your Excellency is also willing to join this covenant, and I also welcome it."

At this point, Yannick has jumped from the status of coming to form an alliance to being begged by others to form an alliance, so he doesn't have to worry anymore.

The whole body was still very sore, the priest couldn't stand for a long time, so he took the opportunity to sit down on the chair at hand, and the cat jumped off his shoulder and lay down on his lap meekly.

"Dear Your Majesty, although the situation is a bit tense now, I still have to ask some questions. To be honest, you know that I am only a bishop now, and my power is very limited. Of course, I am happy to help as much as possible in my personal capacity. You resolve the current crisis, but what are you willing to give me?"

"I like your direct inquiry so that we can face each other more honestly." The queen was not angry, but said gently: "As you said before, an alliance should not only see the short-term benefits in front of you. Your wisdom and ability may not prevent you from ascending to the position of pope in the future, and whether it is me or Illus who will inherit the throne of the elf king, we are willing to meet any of your requirements without harming the interests of the elves."

Yannick didn't expect the elf queen to be so forthright, but it must be because of the current situation outside that forced her hard, and now he puts forward his bottom line, he thinks he might have to thank those rebellious elves, if not for them , the Elven Queen may still be hesitating until now.

"Maybe I will disappoint you, Your Majesty, I really hope to build a long-term bridge of friendship with the elves, and I am willing to promise to do my best to give the elves asylum as much as I can, so that my subordinates will not have tyranny and obscenity towards the elves." The mentality of playing, but that's all. The Pope is too far away for me now, and I dare not hold such unrealistic expectations!"

The elf queen smiled: "You are too modest, you are a person with lofty aspirations, I can't be mistaken, of course I can't guarantee that you will be the pope, but I believe that you Such a smart person will never miss any opportunity. The promises you mentioned are exactly what the elves need! It is our honor to have a tolerant and far-sighted friend!"

Yannick: "It is also a great honor for me to gain the friendship of a race with such a pure heart! But with all due respect, Your Majesty, do your people have the same mind as you? As far as I know, some of them , hold a deep prejudice against human beings."

"Yes." The queen said, "but you can rest assured that those elves have followed in the footsteps of the rebels, and those who remain in the territory are absolutely loyal to me. Even if they still don't have much affection for humans , but I am not paranoid enough to think that only monsters are the savior to save elves. Monsters are still humans, I believe they know how to choose."

Yannick nodded: "I'm glad I met you. You are one of the wisest and calmest leaders I have ever met. I have no doubts about your words."

The queen frowned slightly: "If possible, I hope we can make a covenant immediately, but now the rebels are still gathering outside, I don't know if the monsters are still coming with them, this makes me very worried, the people outside the elf territory Wards and traps aren't completely indestructible..."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was an earth-shattering sound outside, and the ground under their feet shook violently a few times. Yannick was fine sitting on the chair, but the Elf Queen was caught off guard and almost fell to the ground. She quickly supported her The table, the face is hard to hide the color of horror!

"They have broken through the barrier!" The queen said these words almost immediately without the elves from outside coming in to report.

"Aren't there any other barrier guards in the elf territory?" Yannick asked.

"Except for some traps, there are only archers we have arranged in advance!" The queen looked ashamed and lost her composure, "I didn't expect that they are also elves, and they will actually attack the territory of their own people!"

Yannick said: "Maybe they think they are the savior of the elves, but you are the stubborn one."

"Yes, you are right. I just don't believe that monsters will be so kind to elves... I wanted to sign a covenant with you, but now it seems that I can only temporarily suspend it. I want to go out and meet them. The last effort to restore all this, you..."

The queen was a bit in a dilemma. She originally wanted to say to let Yannick stay here. After all, those rebels didn't like to see humans. If they saw another priest standing with her, the situation would definitely be more difficult to recover.

But if Yannick is there, in case of any change in the situation, he and the Duke of Blood may be able to lend a helping hand in time—even though Ans appeared in front of the queen as a black cat from the beginning to the end, the queen is very aware of the strength of the duke , even she had already discovered the close relationship between him and the priest, the wonderful intimate relationship between the priest and the vampire.

Yannick said empathetically, "We can follow you and observe the situation before we act."

The queen nodded, without any further excuses: "Thank you very much."

The queen left in a hurry under the protection of the elf guards, Yannick and the little black cat followed behind, and the two sides opened a short distance.

Yannick: "Your Excellency the Duke, you will have a chance to show off later. You know, due to some vengeful reasons, I still have trouble walking!"

The black cat squatted on his shoulder: "Meow!"

From a distance, they saw that at the place where they came in last time, the ground seemed to have been eroded by some corrosive liquid, and a large black hole was melted out. Those elf rebels—in fact, they were still dressed as elves. Yanick was surprised to find that there seemed to be a black ring nailed on the tip of the ear protruding from under their hair, but the elves in the elf territory, including the elf queen, did not have this thing .

The queen obviously discovered this faster than Yannick, she was shocked and angry: "What is that! Have you been branded as a monster!"

"No, we did it voluntarily," said the leader of the rebels. There were many elves lying on his feet, and they seemed to be injured when the other party just invaded. Some were still moaning weakly, while others were motionless, perhaps died. "This is a sign of our declaration of allegiance."

Elf Queen: "Herman, do you know what you are doing! We are elves, noble creations created by the God of Life, but now you are surrendering at the feet of a monster, they don't even belong to Olin Creation of the mainland, you will be punished by the gods!"

"The gods are dead!" the leader of the rebels interrupted her severely, "If there were gods in this world, they wouldn't have been watching us being bullied by humans and being driven here, but we should have The vast living space is bigger than their so-called Charlemagne Empire! Why are these? Because of the existence of human beings!"

He looked at the densely packed elves behind the queen, as well as the clansmen who were still hiding in the trees, who might be about to attack them. He was emotional and heartbroken: "Could it be that almost 1000 years of enslavement have wiped out the fighting spirit that the elves should have had?" Is it, Your Majesty? Human beings will never take the initiative to return the land to us, let alone put down their bodies to live in peace with us! Why? Because they are victors, they are cruel and bloody victors! You see, not only The elves, even the dragon race, the blood race, these minority races, which one was not driven into the corner by them, and they were not even allowed to breathe?! Oh no, they allow us to breathe because they want us to act as their restraint ! Our clansmen, how many clansmen have died in their hands over the years!"

This guy is really good at instigating.Yannick watched coldly, thinking as he watched the slightly shaken elves around the Queen.

The elf queen was obviously aware of this, and she interrupted the other party coldly: "Herman, I don't deny that what you said is right, human beings are hateful, but are monsters some kind and harmless race? You see Just look at what they did to humans! Infect humans with the Black Death, turn them into soulless undead, and then let the undead attack humans again. If the human world perishes, then it will be our turn next Yes! Do you think that monsters only want to destroy human beings? You are wrong! They want to occupy our living space, they are even more greedy than human beings, what they want is the entire Olin Continent! Destroying human beings is only the first step That's all!"

"What you say is entirely out of your own imagination, Your Majesty Mosini." The leader of the rebels said: "His Royal Highness Rochudan has promised me that as long as the elves can follow them to conquer humans, after the complete extinction of humans , they are willing to share this world with us!"

The elf queen said angrily: "He wants to use you now, of course he will say that! Just think about it, why did the monsters come to us, because they can't completely capture the human world with the Black Death and the undead alone! Now humans are gradually regaining the initiative, and they will win one day. At that time, the monsters will flee back to their plane, and we, as the allies abandoned by them, will have to face the angry humans , they will kill us all!"

The leader of the rebels: "So everything requires risk, Your Majesty Mohini, you will only lead the elves to the brink of cowardly and incompetent destruction, while I am willing to burn my life and lead them to the glory of the other side! Today I come, I don't want to argue with you, as long as you are willing to bring these elves to submit to His Royal Highness Rochudan with us, you are still the queen of the elves!"

The elf queen held her scepter and said coldly: "The elves will never submit to anyone, be it humans or monsters!"

These words caused many elves to gather towards the queen, posing as if they would defend to the death.

The leader of the rebels said: "It seems that for the sake of the unity of the elves, I have to do some rude things."

As soon as he finished speaking, those elves who were lying on the ground, whose life and death were unknown, jumped up, and all the bows and arrows in their hands were aimed at Her Majesty the Queen!

This scene was so fast that everyone was unprepared, even the elves hidden in the trees did not expect this, they quickly moved the arrows that were aimed at the rebel leader and the elves behind him, but it was too late , the arrow shot towards the queen and the guards around her, the arrow infused with natural magic pierced the air, and sparks lit up at the tip of the arrow. gas.

The guards guarded the queen behind them without even thinking about it, and the arrows shot into their bodies. Several guards fell down instantly, and the queen also reacted, pointing the scepter at the leader of the rebels, calling: "Beloveds of Mother Earth, Please listen to my call and catch all these traitors!"

Elves have a natural affinity for all things in nature, so their arrows will have a certain degree of natural magic, but only the elf queen can use this level of wood magic.

Wrist-thin vines rushed out of the ground and rushed towards the rebel leader and his supporters. However, when these vines touched their bodies, they were instantly burned into powder by the black fire and disappeared completely. net!

The elf queen was startled and angry, and then she thought of the ring marks on the ears of the rebels, that thing canceled her magic!

The rebels didn't say a word, and all their bows and arrows greeted the queen. They aimed at the queen from the beginning to the end. As long as they captured or killed the queen, the other elves would definitely be in chaos or even surrender.

The elves obviously also discovered their intentions, and gathered together tacitly, surrounded the queen, and used their bodies to open a way for the queen to retreat.

Seeing her clansmen killing each other, falling down one by one, but the monster who was the instigator never appeared from the beginning to the end, the queen's eyes were red, and she hated the monsters to the extreme in her heart, wood magic was not good for the opponent at all. Doesn't work, they just keep backing off.

"Guests who came from afar, please lend a helping hand, the elves will be grateful!" The elf queen suddenly shouted.

The leader of the rebels froze in his heart. Before he could think of a countermeasure, he saw a black shadow flash in front of him. Immediately afterwards, his neck was tightly strangled, and a playful and cruel chuckle came from his ear.

"So, now, please take a half-time break, or I'm not sure if his fragile little neck will just snap in two."

It turned out to be a vampire!Herman's eyes widened.

Capture the thief first, capture the king, this is really the same throughout the ages, the wisdom of the East and the West.

As soon as the leader of the rebels was captured, the situation on the field immediately reversed. The rebels who followed him were at a loss, so they had to stop for a while, and the elf queen made a gesture, and her offensive was also suspended.

A large group of people fell around, and at a glance, they were all elves.

"Your Excellency Kapeln!" The elf queen thanked, and she said to the Blood Duke who was holding the rebel leader tightly by the neck: "I want to have a good talk with Herman, can you please let him go first? "

The Blood Duke smiled and said: "I'm afraid not, if I let go, he will slip away, don't you think, Mr. Monster, or should I call you Your Highness Rochudan?"
