While Roland and his companions began their new journey in the Chaos Abyss, the mortal plane was in a complete uproar.
"The Elven Empire is officially established? Have the elves gone insane? "
While many human kingdoms were waiting to see the elves make a fool of themselves, a piece of news shocked them greatly.
The elves announced that they were establishing a new Kingdom of the Elves. Not only that, it was going to be the Elven Empire from the elves' memories.
"The Elven Empire of St. Heon, the Moon Elf Queen Afina has been promoted to Elven Empress Afina the First. The coronation ceremony will be held in one week. The entire Elven God Faction will be worshipped by the former Silver Elf War God Sonia. The capital will be the Moonwheel Capital. Twenty-seven elven royal families will swear allegiance to the moon elves, including the moon elves, silver elves, wood elves … and night elves. That's right, all four major High Elves have been established. "
Previously, Afina had also announced that she was establishing an Elven Empire. However, there were far too many elven royalty and tribes that refused to submit to the moon elves' rule. This directly caused internal strife and internal strife among the elves. It could be said that her title of Empress was meaningless.
This time, the official announcement even included the emblems of the four major High Elves, as well as several hundred different elven families. If the High Elves submitted to the new Elven Empire, ordinary elves would naturally be unable to oppose it. It was as if the Elven Empire that had been destroyed for tens of thousands of years had suddenly crawled out of its grave.
But soon, the problem with the announcement was revealed to everyone.
Not mentioning anything else, the original night elves had already transformed into dark elves. And after Rose's downfall, most dark elves should have formed inextricable connections with the mega Mist Alliance in the Northlands. Why would they appear in this announcement?
The emblems of the night elves in the announcement were all real. However, heraldry experts and historians discovered that these emblems belonged to families that had already been destroyed in history. Some had been destroyed due to elven internal strife, while others had been completely destroyed because they refused to follow Rose. Perhaps some of these families still existed, but it would be impossible for them to form a family.
According to the news, there were indeed dark-skinned elves going in and out of the Moonwheel Capital. It seemed that the moon elves had long since prepared for this.
No matter if these "Night Elf nobles" were dark elves from the Underground, or the descendants of the Night Elves who refused to follow Rose back in the day, from a legal standpoint, this barely made sense. A single person could count as a family.
The moon elves and silver elves were all real. As for the wood elves … when considering the fact that the wood elves were scattered all over the mountains and forests, it was completely understandable that the wood elves would be willing to support the moon elves.
In that case, from a legal standpoint, the Elven Empire seemed to meet the requirements. Everyone had the same opinion of them.
"… This, this is to satisfy your craving before you die."
Some people said that the elves were gathering all of their power to form a defensive line at the Moonwheel Capital in order to fight to the death. However, anyone who studied the records of previous demon waves would know that this was all nonsense. Even the entire elven species combined might not be able to match up to a single human mega empire. How could the elves possibly stop a demon wave that was capable of destroying a mega empire?
Even if the Elven Empire was revived, and all elves were responsible for protecting their own empire, not to mention how much the current generation of elves still identified with the Elven Empire, it was quite obvious that it wouldn't be a good idea to drag elves into a fire pit.
The moon elves seemed to have completed their dream and truly became the elven royalty, unifying all the elves. However, some people … some elves couldn't bear to watch this any longer.
"How laughable. Instead of thinking about how to survive in the face of such a calamity, you're doing such unrealistic things. Just this alone makes it impossible for us to admit that the moon elves are superior to us."
The ones with the most intense reactions weren't the Underground dark elves, nor were they the gray elves that had merged with the Mist Alliance. Instead, it was the silver elves that nobody expected.
The silver elves who had the most intense reactions refused to acknowledge the existence of the Elven Empress and the Elven Empire. In fact, they even announced that they were still at war with the moon elf "kingdom".
The wild elf villages and communities that had the most intense reactions were the wild elves' villages and communities. Their bloodlines were impure and impure. The Superior Elves didn't care about them to begin with, nor did they care about the Superior Elves and purebred elves' inheritance from the Elven Empire. The wild elves had long since taken root in various lands, and they were quite disgusted with the Elven Empire and Elven Empress who had mysteriously become their nominal masters.
Surprisingly, for the first few days, the Northlands Mist Alliance, which was supposed to speak up, remained silent … Actually, the Northlands Mist Alliance was the one with the most authority to speak up.
The Northlands already had grayblood elves (formerly moon elves), pure moon elves (three Northlands elf kingdoms had already joined the Mist Alliance), wood elves (Kelly's tribe had already moved to the Northlands for several years), and the great majority of dark elves. Imperceptibly, the Northlands Mist Alliance now had more than half Superior Elves. The most inconceivable part was that, unlike the Moonwheel Elven Empire, which had endless internal strife, these Superior Elves were actually able to coexist peacefully. There were even examples of intermarriage and half-blood elves.
Unlike the elven tradition of treating half-blood elves as bastards and demoting them to wild elves, the Northlands elves didn't view half-blood elves and half-elves with enmity. In fact, the Northlands government intentionally encouraged the birth of even more half-blood elves … This unconventional behavior of the Northlands elves helped the ordinary Inferior Elves and wild elves gain a good impression of the Northlands elves.
Above the high-level elves were the Mist Kingdom's legendary wood elf teacher Kelly, the first Desecration Priestess Victoria, the Moon General Diana, the Dove of Peace Queen Suana, the gray elves' Despair Guards, Sulfur Mountain City's Town Security, Anti-Holy Knight, and Desecration Priests. These Northlands elves were now famous throughout the entire world.
Sometimes, a great reputation would be even more important than actual combat strength, especially when it came to the so-called orthodoxy.
Perhaps with the Mist Alliance's overall support, the newest magical engineering technology, the support of half-blood elves and half-elves, Law Knight, Anti-Holy Knight, Desecration Priests, Four Elemental Swordcasters, and other powerful combat job classes that kept up with the times, the Northlands elves' power was no weaker than the Full Moon Elven Empire.
Perhaps the only part where the Northlands elves couldn't compare to the Full Moon Elves was that they didn't have the support of the Elven Gods. But when considering that the Northlands elves were supported by the Hades Gods, the Northlands elves would still have a stronger backer.
"All they need is a title …"
But before the Northlands elves even said anything, this "title" came by itself.
Some of the younger silver elf families understood the current political situation and unhesitatingly chose to head north. Not only did the human kingdoms along the way not stop them, they even sent out Knight squadrons and armies to escort them, as if they were afraid that the Full Moon Elves would try to stop them.
And so, the ball was now in the Northlands Mist Alliance. More accurately speaking, it was in the hands of the Northlands elves' higher-ups, as well as Anne, Renée, Xueti, and so on.
Silver elves, grayblood elves (moon elves), wood elves, and dark elves. Fine then, this meant that the four Superior Elves were all here. There were also large numbers of half-blood elves, wild elves, and half-elves supporting them. Since the Full Moon Capital was able to call itself an elven royal family, the Northlands elves could also call themselves an elven royal family. The four Superior Elves who supported the Northlands elves had even more complete inheritances, and there were even more elven nobility.
The news that a second Elven Empire was about to become a new member of the Mist Alliance spread throughout the entire Northlands. Some people were already saying that the Mist Alliance's oldest wood elf, Kelly, would wear the crown and become the new Elven Empress. The Dark Elf Victoria would become the Head Priestess and Head Priest, the Gray Elf Diana would become the Grand Marshal of the military, and the grayblood elf Suana (currently a banshee) would become the Prime Minister.
Considering that most of the rumors were spread by the dark elves and grayblood elves, the truth and credibility of these rumors were quite high. Also, from another perspective, this reflected the Northlands elves' desire. They also desired a complete Elven Empire.
Yet, at this critical moment, the Northlands government remained abnormally silent. The Northlands leaders didn't know anything at all. They acted like they were natural idiots who had just started playing politics.
The Northlands government's "stupidity" made all the countries and leaders anxious. Every day, envoys and ambassadors from various countries started blocking the Mist Alliance government's door.
Actually, that was because the Northlands government wasn't in a hurry. Renée and the others couldn't sleep at night anymore. They kept having meetings to discuss the situation, but were still unable to come up with a final plan. And, they were still unable to contact the person who could truly make a decision that everyone else would believe in.
Even worse, that person had the noblest elven bloodline in the entire world by her side. In terms of the Elven Empire's name, no one else was more deserving of the title than her.
Previously, she had been dead, so she didn't seem to count as a member of the elves anymore. But now, she was indeed a living elf who should be responsible for the fate of her people.
"Gold Elf Princess Harloys, the final ruler of the Elven Empire, and the ruler of all elves in name … All intelligence agencies and organizations are to take action and spread rumors as a cover. The truth that she's alive absolutely cannot be leaked, at least not until Roland makes a decision!"
