Chapter 1269: Alex killed Borg

Chaos City, in the city lord’s castle’s study.

“W-what happened?” Michael looked at the urgent secret missive in a shock.

“You read it too?” Rolan strode in. He closed the door after seeing Michael and the missive in his hands.

“How could that happen? Where did that group of mysterious people come from? They actually pushed back the Wind Forest.” Michael was still in disbelief. It couldn’t have been done even if Chaos City had used all its high-end combat power.

What made him even more shocked was that Chaos City didn’t have any information regarding such an extremely powerful force. They didn’t even know it existed before this event.

“The information received by the Gray Temple is more complete.” Rolan took out a secret missive, and passed it to Michael before saying, “Alex did in fact go to the underground cavern to rescue the Night Elves. The Wind Forest was prepared for that, and they had 10 great magic casters ready to attack Alex. They wanted to kill him together with Irina. And after Alex struck Borg down and was surrounded, Krassu and Urien joined the battle.

“After that, the group of mysterious people appeared. Under the leadership of 10 great magic casters, they defeated the powerful allied forces of the Wind Forest, and declared that they had come to rescue the Night Elves.”

“Urien and Krassu have always had a great relationship with Irina. They almost wanted to take her as their disciple. I just didn’t expect that they would go against the Wind Forest,” Michael said, feeling a little surprised.

“Although these two old fellows are old, they haven’t changed the way they do things. Furthermore, the two of them are together now, it’s enough to make any forces wary of them. They are a time bomb in Chaos City too. We need to pay attention to them.” Rolan nodded, feeling a little troubled.

“Let’s put Krassu and Urien aside. Where did those mysterious people come from? The sudden appearance of such a powerful species right before the renegotiation of the peace treaty is without a doubt going to make matters worse.” Michael furrowed his eyebrows tightly. Although there were a lot more details of the battle in this secret missive, they still didn’t have an accurate judgment on the identity of those mysterious people.

“We still need some time to investigate this matter. However, the report did mention that these mysterious people went into the battle on the backs of one golden dragon and one frost dragon. Maybe we could investigate from this direction.” Rolan shook his head slightly. Although this incident was rather bizarre, it still had a clue for them to investigate.

“Apart from that, what do you think about the Night Elves moving southwards?”

“Borg is dead. Irina had set up the Night Elves to defy the Wind Forest publicly, and even defeated the Wind Forest in this underground cavern siege. The elf species’ constitution is greatly undermined, so they would most probably choose to maintain the current situation in the renegotiation, and focus on exterminating the Night Elves and recovering their power,” Rolan said after some pondering. “I think we should accept the Night Elves into the city secretly, and provide them with the necessary assistance. The Night Elves getting stronger could help to absorb the desire of the Wind Forest to expand. This will be good for the peace of the Norland Continent.”

“Helena is too extreme in the way she does things. She forced the Wind Forest to change into a feudal kingdom abruptly, and made the elves fight for power and interests just like humans. It will also be a good thing if Irina’s Night Elves could succeed.” Michael nodded.

The Roth Empire.

The king and the ministers were discussing state matters in the assembly room. The Second Prince, Josh, was among them, but he was distracted, and there was a hint of frustration visible between his eyebrows.

The Wind Forest’s siege of the Night Elves was giving him a headache. Although he maintained his mail communication with Helena and Borg throughout, he couldn’t get them to promise not to hurt Irina or hand her over to him.

Moreover, today was the day the Wind Forest was going to launch their final combined attack on the Night Elves. Even though he had promised Borg that he would support him to become the elven king if he let Irina live and sent her to him, he didn’t receive any reply from Borg.

Neither did he know how the situation was now. He would have gone to the Wind Forest personally if the king had not made him stay.

A guard strode to the entrance, and respectfully said, “Your Majesty, there’s an urgent report!”The most update n0vels are published on (f)ir(e).nᴇt

“Send it in.” King Andre received the secret missive and started reading it. He let out a smothered sound of wonder after a moment.

The courtiers were all looking at one another as they wondered what made the king so shocked, but no one dared to ask a word about it.

Josh was also looking at Andre nervously. He had a premonition that this missive had something to do with the Night Elves and Irina.

Andre only put down the missive after some time, and said to all the courtiers, “The Wind Forest’s attack on the Night Elves was pushed back.”

The assembly room erupted into a loud commotion following a brief silence.

Although all the courtiers tried to control their emotions, they still couldn’t hide the shock that they felt.

The difference in power between the Wind Forest and the Night Elves was just like the giant dragon and the ant. They had talked about this previously, and the courtiers weren’t interested in the topic, as there was almost no doubt about the outcome. They all said the Wind Forest was going to annihilate the Night Elves completely by today.

But, the outcome now seemed to have given them a tight slap.

“H-how is that possible?” The prime minister was in disbelief.

“Alex killed Borg,” Andre continued.

The assembly room quieted down instantly. All the ministers were taken aback by Alex’s great power, but they controlled their emotions and remained silent.

For this period of time, Alex had been a constant taboo in the Roth Empire’s court.

No one was able to deny his strength and greatness. However, the past pride of the Roth Empire and the number one in all military disciplines didn’t belong to the Roth Empire anymore. He could even be standing against the empire.

Furthermore, the elves were the firm ally of the Roth Empire, and Borg was the chief commander of the elves. Borg dying in the hands of Alex today was also a loss to the Roth Empire.

“Besides Alex, Urien and Krassu appeared too. And a group of powerful mysterious people,” Andre said to Josh calmly.

“Powerful mysterious people?” All the courtiers were shocked that the king used the word “powerful” to describe them. Who on earth were these mysterious people?

Andre placed the secret missive on the table. In a low voice, he said, “The outcome is unexpected, but it didn’t affect the Roth Empire too much. Let’s investigate where those mysterious people come from. Maybe there are still things that we don’t know in this world.”
