"Alright, this is all the troops we have now."
Noxus clapped his hands to get everyone's attention. "I know it takes a long time for a country to go from peace to war. Thank you, kings, for your efforts and support. What we have to think about now is how to use these troops to win a series of beautiful battles. I don't expect to destroy the entire tribe in one battle, but I hope to lead everyone to win from one victory to another. "
The kings and generals immediately applauded.
At this time, Duque suddenly laughed. "Respected Chief Commander, it seems that this is not all the troops you have now."
"Who else?" Noxus was really stunned for a moment. The troops that the seven human kingdoms had promised to send were all here, apart from those deployed at the Northflow Coast. The dwarves were still busy with their own affairs, so there was no way they could spare any troops.
"How did you forget about the High Elves?" At this moment, Duque's face was glowing with excitement. Anyone could see how happy he was.
"The High Elves?"
"Impossible! Didn't they not join the alliance? "The kings discussed.
"That bullsh * t councilor." King Alterac Eden was not stingy with his venomous tongue.
Antonidas seemed to think of something, and stroked his long white beard. "It would be impossible if someone else were to be the commander. But the commander is you … Anduin Lothar. That's another matter. Have you forgotten? The High Elves have signed an ancient covenant with us humans since the time of Thoradin The Great. "
"An ancient covenant …" Noxus muttered to himself. He suddenly remembered that there was such a thing. But there had been too many things recently, and the High Elves had been so cold to him that Noxus had almost forgotten about it.
The old but sly Antonidas stroked his white beard and looked at the restless Duque. He laughed. "Haha, I think it's better for the two commanders to welcome them."
Antonidas was indeed steady. He knew that Senator Darkan's behavior on the day of the alliance had angered most of the kings. For the sake of face, most of the kings would definitely not go.
And it would definitely not be the Sun King himself. In that case, it was completely reasonable for them not to welcome him.
At this moment, a sentry hurriedly ran to the door of the command center and reported, "The elves are here."
"Oh, we already knew that," Lothar said lightly.
"You knew? We only received a report from the patrol when the elven ships were almost five nautical miles away … "The voice of the sentinel, who was obviously from Kul 'Tiras, sounded a little bitter.
Lothar didn't blame the poor sentry. "It's okay. The Nagas and murlocs under the deputy commander are also patrolling the sea around Southshore."
Hearing this, the sentinel retreated with relief.
Lothar looked around and said, "Alright, Your Majesties and Excellencies, the arrival of the elves represents the attitude of a powerful country on the continent. If you are willing, come with me to welcome the messenger of the Sun King Anastrian. The rest of you can rest here for a while. "
After some consideration, Laing, Dai Lin, and Antonidas followed Lothar, Duque, and Turayan to the dock.
Although Dai Lin couldn't put down his pride, he was very concerned about how many ships the elves could bring for him, the admiral and commander-in-chief of the sea fleet.
Laing simply wanted to see the alliance become stronger. As for Antonidas, no one knew what he was thinking.
At this moment, more than 20 ships with typical High Elves characteristics were darting across the sea like arrows.
"Hahaha! I can't wait to see how those humans are panicking. Just now, I asked my men to completely avoid the patrols of their ships and come in through the gaps in the patrol net. Anyway, with such a good view in broad daylight, they wouldn't mistake the High Elves' ships for the orcs, right? "
A calm voice interrupted the first voice. "Sorry, the humans discovered us as early as 10 nautical miles ago."
"How is that possible?!" the first voice exclaimed.
"My intuition tells me that's the case. Although I didn't find any human ships, I felt that there were more than one pair of eyes on me. I can't be wrong. "
Walking out of the command center and to the top of the mountain near the sea, the people looked at the elven ships that were sailing towards the port in the distance.
Compared to the tall hulls of the humans, the elven ships were much flatter. The long and streamlined hull was made of hard starwood that could only be found in the forests of Cuel Salas. Not only was it hard, but it was also lighter than most ship wood.
Not only were there many intricate patterns carved on the hull, but there were also dozens of enchanted throwing carts mounted on the sides of the hull. Formed by three sharp cones, the huge triangular throwing carts did not lose out to the ordinary human cannons in terms of range.
The ship's bow was a classic example of a hippogryphon pecking at a bird. At full speed, this seemingly decorative bow could also be used as a ram, allowing the elven ships to cut through the hulls of warships of medium or lower like a knife cutting through butter, completely crushing them.
"Elven destroyers." Naval expert Daylin Proudmoore said softly. "They are faster and lighter than our Kul Tiras ships. They carry fewer weapons, but it still gives these ships considerable speed. This is a good addition to our fleet. No, it's an excellent addition. "
After saying that, the admiral frowned. "But isn't this too little? I only saw eight light speedboats and sixteen ultra-light scout boats. This is only the configuration of two combat squads. "
"Maybe there are more behind the horizon?" Turalyan said in a comforting tone from the other side of Lothar.
"No!" Daylin shook his head with certainty. "This is not their habit. If there are no surprises, this is all they have."
Daylin's tone was filled with indescribable disappointment. Perhaps Duque's generosity had made him look forward to more, but the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Daylin's desire for more warships grew especially after he had no choice but to divide his forces to guard the sea near the Northflow Coast.
He knew very well that it was impossible to protect the entire coastline of the Northern Continent with such a small fleet.
"Twenty-four ships also means that our fleet has an additional twenty-four ships." Duque comforted Daylin. "As you said, this is an excellent addition to our fleet."
