The End of the Earth

The vehicle behind Xiang San and Tos was the one that Gumakong was riding in.

Gumakong in the car closed his eyes and rested, his face calm but his heart was filled with mixed emotions. This time, almost the entire army was captured during the expedition to the rocket base. Not only did he lose face for the Elf Kingdom, but his family would also be disgraced because of him.

"Ah~"

Gumakong sighed deeply. Seeing this, his adjutant asked with concern, "Commander-in-chief? Are you feeling unwell?"

Gumakong slowly opened his eyes and said nonchalantly: "This is the first time I have personally led troops into battle on this planet. I wanted to establish the prestige of my family on behalf of my father.

A defeat in a war is a disgrace."

"Commander, I have something to say but I'm not sure if I should say it."

Guma gave his adjutant a blank look and said, "Wugu, when did you become like those Earthlings, talking in a nagging way?"

Wu Gu smiled bitterly. After dealing with those human generals over the years, he had assimilated some of their habits.

"I want to say, Commander, don't blame yourself too much. Your opponent is Xiang San, a legendary figure respected by Her Majesty the Queen.

In fact, before we set out on the expedition, some voices within the royal court said we might lose this time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Gu felt a chill.

"Commander, calm down!"

Gumakong took a deep breath and forced himself to calm the anger in his heart.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."

Gumakong was a little discouraged. He was considered a veteran on the battlefield in the Azure World. However, later on, the Azure World became a harmonious world, and all races coexisted peacefully. There had been no war for nearly a hundred years. In addition, it was his first time to command an army equipped with Earth equipment, so the defeat in this battle was not unfair.

However, Gumakong has always been strong-willed throughout his life, and this defeat seemed to make him feel that something was missing in his heart.

When the entire convoy transporting armored troops arrived at the gate of the royal court's outer wall, the royal court guards were already there to greet them.

Xiang San, Gumakong and others followed the visitor to the royal palace in the inner city.

More than a thousand armored soldiers of Gumakong will return to the Night Legion base. Originally, they were not Gumakong's private armed forces, but it would be embarrassing for this team to return. The Kingdom Armored Brigade actually returned empty-handed, and all the organized equipment was confiscated. If this gets out, it will be more than just embarrassing.

After entering the city, Xiang San and others took a special car for foreign guests, a gorgeous hover car. This was Xiang San's first time riding in such a vehicle.

He looked around the city curiously. It had a thriving population and clean streets. There were not only human residents but also a small number of elves and other races. It was obvious that the city allowed different races to live together.

The walls and ground of the Elf King's City are made of a special material that looks like jade and a bit like metal. There are patrols on all the main roads and intersections in the city to protect the order in the city, and there are drones flying all over the sky to patrol.

“It’s a city of the future.”

Seeing Xiang San's amazement, Toss said proudly: "Mr. Xiang San, the royal city is prosperous, right? Amazing, right?"

"This city is like a piece of unpolished jade, but..."

"But what?"

“The buildings near the city wall are of a very different style from those near the inner city, and some areas are still under construction.

That’s really strange.”

Gu Makong snorted softly, "The royal court was attacked by the Sky Fortress City from an unknown force, and..."

"cough cough"

The person who led the way coughed loudly a few times, and Gumakong realized that he had said too much. He didn't know why he said that.

Xiang San and Tos also sensed something unusual about Gumakong.

"Mr. Xiang San, you see, all residential areas, shops, and various public transportation facilities are operating 24 hours a day.

Over there is the commercial street, and over here is the Fengqi Hotel, the best hotel in the royal city. The designer of the hotel is from Russia, so the design has a strong industrial aesthetic. To be honest, even I personally admire this kind of artistic design.

Fengqi Hotel has a total of three high-rise buildings. The disc connecting the top floors of the three buildings is the core of the entire hotel. Each building covers an area of ​​1.2 square meters, where you can enjoy any service you can think of.

The prerequisite is to have money.

The inner city gate is in front, and you have to get off the bus and walk in."

Xiang San discovered that after they entered the inner city, the rest of the guards all left. Is this inner city really so safe?

He soon realized something was wrong, and Xiang San gradually felt uncomfortable.

Seeing Xiang San's frustrated look of confusion, Gu Makong, who was standing by, smiled and said, "Xiang? Do you feel like the demon cells in your body have lost contact?"

Xiang San frowned. Just like Gumakong said, he couldn't use the power of the demon.

"What do you mean?"

Gu Makong was frightened by Xiang San's gaze: "Don't look at me like that, it wasn't me who did it.

The inner city of the royal court is different from the outer city. A kind of medicinal mist will evaporate in the inner city all day long.

This medicinal mist can suppress your demon cells, not just your demon cells, but also evil life forms, aliens and other creatures.

Do you understand now? Your demonic powers are useless in the royal court."

If it were in the past, Xiang San would really be nervous, but now Xiang San has many means, he just doesn't have the support of the power of the devil. He can still rely on other means.

“The Elven Royal Court is truly thoughtful, having developed a process like this specifically for me.

I've learned a lot."

Tuos, who was beside Xiang San, quickly persuaded him: "Mr. Xiang San, you are now a vassal of the Elf Kingdom. Although you haven't been given a title yet, you are already a member of the Elf Kingdom.

The court officials in the royal court should be careful about what they say and not be too presumptuous."

Xiang San waved his hands helplessly and said: "I can't use the power of the devil now, and even if I want to show off, I don't have the ability to do so.

Now that I've surrendered to the Kingdom, I'll be careful with my words, don't worry."

Toss heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Xiang San say that. Bringing Gumakong and his armored brigade back safely and persuading Xiang San to surrender at the rocket base was a great achievement.

Toss doesn't want any trouble to happen in this last step.

At the very center of the inner city is the Royal Palace, where Kalista lives. This palace has a gate in each of the east, west, south and north, which are called the Four Gates, and they are connected to the gates in the four directions of the inner city.

After entering the palace, he was escorted by several elven guards to the highest floor of the palace. This is where the Elf Queen and all the royal ministers of the Elf Kingdom hold court.

After not seeing her for more than ten years, Calista is still as beautiful as a teenage girl, but now she looks a little more mature.

When Calista saw Xiang San, she couldn't hide her joy. Her sincere smile dispelled all the doubts in Xiang San's heart.

Originally, he still had some unresolved suspicions about the Elf Kingdom's attack on the rocket base.

"Xiang San, welcome to the Elf Kingdom family. Please take a seat."

At the oval conference table that was more than ten meters long, the elf guard pulled out the chair next to Kalista and motioned Xiang San to take a seat.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this. Her Majesty the Queen had actually arranged a seat for Xiang San long ago!

Although there is no clear rule that only people with higher official titles can sit in the seat closest to the Queen, this has become a custom over the years.

Some people looked at Grand Duke Gulawang's expression and saw that he looked calm, as if he had already known Her Majesty's arrangements. They no longer had any other thoughts.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xiang San's way of calling her "Her Majesty the Queen" was really awkward. He was really not used to this kind of official rhetoric, nor did he like it very much.

Calista wanted to laugh, but this was a formal royal court meeting and she couldn't be too rude.

"There was nothing wrong with the court hearing. I'm very pleased about the return of the rocket base.

Because not only is our national strength stronger, but we don't have to resort to mountains of blood and sweat to win the so-called victory.

What I want and what the people hope for is as little bloodshed and sacrifice as possible.

Although the kingdom is strong and stable, the threat from other creatures still exists, and we must not slack off.

Gulawang, is there anything you want to say?"

"Gu Makong led the army to war, and although the situation was resolved peacefully, the defeat was an unforgivable crime, as he brought disgrace to the country.

Please punish me, Her Majesty."

Xiang San finally met the famous Grand Duke Gulawang.

"Is this the Grand Duke? You're quite good at using language."
