Chapter 378: Chapter 318 Ancient War Tree (Please Subscribe)

After Lette finished dealing with the matters related to the newly occupied ten cities, he returned to the capital of the Elf Empire with Emily and the Unicorn Knight Order.

It must be said, the pace of the King of Unicorns is incredibly fast!

Riding it, Lette was always in the lead.

Without a mount, Emily had to rely on flying magic, trailing far behind the main force.

Lette humorously called it endurance training for magic output.

Emily was really annoyed; she was already a Legendary Great Mage, what endurance training was needed! This intensity of flying couldn’t train a ghost!

But there was no way around it, the King of Unicorns ultimately chose Lette.

It was his mount, and those big slaps really hurt.

Riding on the King of Unicorns, Lette truly experienced the joy of being a knight.

This feeling of reaching the limits was truly addictive.

His riding skills weren’t very good, so he directly took Emily’s armored gauntlet and riding skill card, and directly applied them to himself.

As the creator of these items, Lette could naturally use them freely.

With the enhancement of the riding skills, he even left the entire knight order far behind at one point.

If not for forgetting where the safe routes set in the dense forest were, Lette might have ridden all the way back to the Elf Imperial City alone.

After experiencing three unprecedented major victories, the elves were in a very high spirit.

Although the last two major victories didn’t gain actual territory, being able to reclaim their lost homeland was already beyond the elves’ expectations.

There were indeed radicals among the people, but they weren’t a problem at all.

The Elf Queen and the high-ranking elves were very clear-headed, knowing that the current glory of the Elf Clan was given by this man before them.

Since he could give, he could also take away.

Moreover, humans and elves weren’t in an eternal enmity anymore.

The Life Goddess had joined the Divine Court set up by the Holy Light Goddess, meaning that in the future, they wouldn’t say they were one family, but at least they were strong allies.

Once the elves achieved absolute victory, they could welcome back the Life Goddess.

Then, the Elf Clan would start the renaissance of the Empire!

Compared to this goal, the gains and losses of one city or another weren’t a concern for the elves.

After all, there were so few of them that even if they occupied the land, they couldn’t govern it.

After returning to the Elf Empire’s capital, Lette immediately met with the Elf Empire Queen and Princess, as well as Lilith who had been stationed in the rear.

"I have received some news from the pieces we’ve hidden..."

Lette drew several circles on the military map with his hand: "These lunatics directly blew up several key bridges over the great river.

To cross this heavenly chasm, we’ll have to go through this canyon.

Meanwhile, the opposition has gathered a large number of Black Mages and mobilized alchemy workshops across the country to produce a large number of alchemical magic creations for war, along with gathering magical scrolls and other resources from across the nation.

It seems they’ve finally realized the danger."

The three women all looked at Lette, speechless at his statement.

Could they not realize the danger?

You had already annexed half of their territory and killed the king’s brother.

And since the war started until now, it has taken just over a week.

The only visible force from the Empire’s side was a thousand-strong knight order.

During the initial ambush in the dense forest and the takeover of the six border cities, they didn’t even see a single shadow!

In this situation, the Empire wasn’t scared into surrendering simply because the high command knew that surrender also meant death, so they prepared to resist desperately.

As for the so-called war mobilization, it had actually been prepared in sync since the war started.

Recently, it’s just that there have been some considerable achievements.

But to this man, it seemed like the opposition was just beginning to prepare.

Come on, they’ve clearly gone all out!

You can’t just taunt people like this!

If the minister in charge of imperial logistics of the First Empire heard this, he might just sputter blood with anger.

They mobilized the entire country’s strength, and in his eyes, it was just a good start.

Has it finally started? It’s already over!

"Ahem, I understand what you mean."

Lilith timely broke the awkward atmosphere: "In short, the enemy is prepared this time, and their firepower should not be underestimated.

If we confront them according to their strategy, we will suffer great losses.

Is that what you mean?"

"Yes."

The Elf Queen confidently said: "Lord Wright, don’t worry, we elves are confident in the magic domain, and our mage groups are definitely not weaker than theirs.

Even if it’s a hard fight, we’ll achieve final victory, rest assured!"

Lette rolled his eyes at her: "So, why should we fight hard? What’s the point of a victory gained through huge casualties?

Spending two hundred to buy one hundred’s worth of counterfeit bills, what’s the challenge in that?

We don’t want small victories, but big ones! Don’t settle for a slightly good situation, aim for a great one!

Only then can we accomplish our goal!

To completely crush the Empire’s confidence, to make the people lose faith in their leaders entirely.

Let everyone feel that while losing is normal, losing so miserably and shamefully means there must be issues with the decision-makers!

I’m contemplating the sure thing!

Understand?"

The princess couldn’t help shaking her head: "I didn’t quite get it, but I feel that Lord Wright is right! I think there’s no need to make things so complicated; let’s just follow whatever Lord Wright says."
