Chapter 677: Chapter 142 Negotiation_3

Ruona’s biggest revelation from her trip to the south was that while the Difeng Giant Valley was also engaged in battle, its scale was far less gruesome than the brutal war in the Flame Mountain Valley. The armies that the Drow and Dark Elves had mobilized to encircle the Difeng Giant Valley in Southern Furious Flame Continent were massive, with at least fifteen thousand soldiers. The valley was under tight siege, with countless supply convoys made up of Cave Dwellers scattered along the horizon, lining up in a state of battle preparedness.

The terrain of Giants’ Valley in the south wasn’t akin to the open plaza of Flame Mountain Valley. It was full of natural caves, which were home to the Difeng Giants. The key position they held was dangerously treacherous. This topology made it impossible for the Eagle-Bull men under the Dark Elves’ banner to secure an advantage from the sky like the Cow-Eagle people did in the Flame Mountain Valley. Despite the large number of Dark Elves troops, the battles they initiated were mostly small-scale tug-of-wars. There had been no large-scale wave-style charges whatsoever. In fact, when landing part way up the valley, they were not intercepted by the Drow Elves’ army but faced an ambush from the Antelope men and Difeng Giants.

Seeing that there were no immediate issues in the Giant Valley, Ruona left Xiao Cui behind and hurriedly completed the magic array, returning with Yitiao and Naga.

"Truly cunning Dark Elves." Liu Zhenhan, after listening to Nana, shook his head gently, continually praising.

"Compared to them, the Blood Elves attacking Flame Mountain Valley do seem slightly foolish," sighed Nana.

"The Flame Mountain Valley, located in the east of Furious Flame Continent, is, along with the Giant’s Valley in the north, attacked by the Blood Elves. Now that our armies have tightly pinned down all the forces of Moore, both the east and north are safe. The Difeng Giant Valleys in the south and west are the responsibility of the Dark Elves. Given the situation in the southern valley, it’s likely that the Dark Elves have also sealed off the Giant Valley in the west," said Daisy with a smile. "It seems we have more than just the immediate issues to worry about. Richard, your grand plan fills me with concern... By the way, the Blood Elves are not foolish. They can’t be compared with the Dark Elves. Their troops are differently composed and have strong Dwarf warriors. Any commander would have the courage to launch a charge."

"The Blood Elves are indeed not foolish! They know how to tap the sky’s water source and drench us Difeng Giants so thoroughly that we hardly dare show our faces. How can you call them foolish? They just had bad luck. We Giants respect such opponents." Yangkele, the Difeng Chief who had listened quietly by the side, voiced his differing opinion. "The only thing I don’t understand is, dear Lord Richard, do you, a brave Beamon worshipper, also view the Dark Elves’ siege but no-attack strategy as a symbol of wisdom?"

"You dimwit!" Liu Zhenhan rolled his eyes at this big brute, completely oblivious to the fact that his words might have offended some beauties. "The Drow Elves and Dark Elves have besieged the Giant Valley completely. Those sneaky Drow are not refusing to attack, they’re just not in a hurry to do so. Their strategic intent is clearly to besiege, you dumbass!"

Liu’s comment woke everyone from their dreams. The Difeng Chief wrinkled his eyebrows, suddenly understanding the situation.

The Antelope Warrior Duncan also came over, scrutinizing Lord Richard with his large bull-like eyes, trying to grasp the underlying meaning, despite his wisdom.

While Liu Zhenhan was secretly cursing the Tauren for his lumbering stupidity, as if under the "slow-witted song", he was also analyzing the advantages and disadvantages for Duncan.

The two Elf offensives against Giant Valley have tremendously evolved this time. Who would have expected that the two fallen Elf factions would reach a ceasefire agreement, and unite for the simple belief of returning to the Surface World?

Anyone with a bit of common sense would know that veins are likely mixed with rich rock layers or metal ore deposits. Therefore, before digging a path to the Surface World, the two fallen Elf factions must prepare multiple targets to choose from. Whether it was the Difeng Giants’ bad luck or not, the four highest lands nearest to the sky on the Furious Flame Continent had been inhabited by them for generations. The two fallen Elf factions only had one choice, that was to go all out and deal with these Difeng Giants.

In the past, the battles carried out by two fallen Elf factions to encircle Difeng Valley were limited due to incomplete supplies and manpower planning. The headquarters also had little interest in attacking such formidable enemies, which is why the battles were never drawn out too long, usually ending in a day or two.

As this was the norm year after year, so much so that each year before the fallen Elf’s attack on the Giants’ Valley, the Buer Tribe, Antelope people, had developed a habit of stockpiling water sufficient for one week.

At this point, Duncan, the Antelope Warrior’s eyes, shone bright. Old Liu thought he had understood. But then Duncan asked, "Did they also plan to dig through Sky’s underground river to flood and drown the valley with heavy rain?"

Liu Zhenhan was completely defeated. This naïve person thought every valley had an underground river overhead ready for artificial rain. Insulting such an honest person seemed pointless, so Liu Zhenhan had no choice but to keep explaining patiently.
