Traveling through the game world

"Hmph! An investigation is definitely in order! But before you, someone like you who sows discord among the troops must be severely punished!" Elder Sharp of the Dark Elves said with an air of self-righteousness.

In his eyes, apart from the dark elves who were considered noble, he didn't respect anyone else, not even the humans who were the masters of the continent. Therefore, he didn't think he had gone too far in saying anything.

Lian Yang's face was extremely unpleasant. "I handed you intelligence, and you not only didn't believe me, but you even wanted to lock me up?" The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Lian Yang said in a deep voice, "What if it turns out that my intelligence is true? What if the Mad Dwarves really want to wage war against you?"

His expression and tone were already very unfriendly; everyone could see that Lian Yang was desperately suppressing his anger.

However, the Dark Elf Elder Shaplen seemed completely unconcerned, saying indifferently, "For the safety of the Dark Elves, even if the news is later proven true, being imprisoned is an honor for you. Besides, who knows if you were also infected by the dwarves' Black Nightmare and came here deliberately to disrupt morale!"

"Shaprun, I'll fuck your grandpa!" Hearing the Dark Elf Elder Shaprun's expression that said "I'm always right, and you're always right," Lian Yang couldn't hold back any longer. "Damn it, do you think I'm a clay figure if I don't get angry? Even clay figures have some temper."

Lian Yang's roar was so loud that it completely stunned the Dark Elf Elder, who was talking non-stop. After a long while, the Dark Elf Elder Shaplen, who had recovered from the shock, roared angrily, "You lowly human, you lowly adventurer! How dare you insult me! Guards! Take him away! I want him hanged!"

"Let's see who dares to touch my people!"

Another powerful shout rang out from the already chaotic court, clearly aimed at protecting Lian Yang.

When the Dark Elf Elder Shaplen turned around, his heart skipped a beat. Arrogant as he was, he couldn't help but take a step back when he saw the Sword Saint Barn, who was walking slowly towards him with his sword drawn.

Before Barn could speak, the Dark Elf Queen Maya said, "Elder Shaplen, you've gone too far. No matter what, Lian Yang is one of the heroes who brought peace back to our ancestors in the Heroes' Tomb."

Queen Maya of the Dark Elves seemed to be criticizing Elder Shaplen of the Dark Elves, but in reality, she completely blocked any possibility of Barn speaking or even taking action again. The Dark Elf Queen's words were clear: "I've already criticized Shaplen, so you, Sword Saint Barn, can't say anything more, can you?" Besides, it's uncertain whether her lover will launch a war.

"Hmph!" Barn snorted angrily, "I have received accurate intelligence that the dwarves have amassed an army of a million. Perhaps they are going to mine!"

It must be said that, compared to the arrogant Dark Elves, the Delos Empire, as the strongest nation in Arad, does not possess any air of arrogance.

Upon hearing Lian Yang's intelligence, Barn immediately returned to the Delos Empire at full speed. It was fortunate that he was a Sword Saint with immense strength; if it were Lian Yang, the war might have already begun and he might not have been able to reach the capital of the Delos Empire in time.

"What?!" Dark Elf Queen Maya and Dark Elf Elder Shaplen exclaimed in unison. Lian Yang was still young and lacked strength, so his information might not be accurate. However, as one of the highest-ranking members of the Delos Empire and a renowned swordsman on the continent, Barn's words were absolutely correct.

Without responding, Barn continued, "Moreover, all the dwarven warriors and dwarven champions of the dwarven race have mutated. I think you all know why they mutated; the average level of the dwarven warriors has now reached 45."

Lian Yang only managed to get a superficial understanding of the news that the dwarves were going to attack the dark elves, but Barn had already lost many intelligence personnel in order to confirm Lian Yang's information, and had almost found out all of the dwarves' troop deployment.

Upon hearing that the average level of the warriors had reached 45, the news nearly caused Queen Maya of the Dark Elves to collapse, and even the usually arrogant Elder Shaplen of the Dark Elves was shocked.

Keep in mind that even an unawakened level 50 warrior is strong enough to be a squad leader in the renowned Iron Wolf Knights of Barn, and a level 45 warrior is only 5 levels below a level 50 warrior. This is beyond the description of an elite force; it's a terrifying killing legion.

It's worth noting that the average level of the elite legions of the Dark Elf Kingdom is only around level 37, while the average level of Barn's Iron Wolf Knights, as the absolute elite of the Delos Empire, is only level 42.

However, Barn's Iron Wolf Knights numbered less than 100,000 men at most, while the elite forces of the Dark Elf Kingdom numbered even fewer, perhaps 70,000 or 80,000.

Of course, these are all referring to elite troops. For example, China's strongest tank is the Type 99A main battle tank, but it is insignificant compared to the thousands or tens of thousands of Type 96A main battle tanks in the country.

The same applies to the Delos Empire and the Quiet Empire, especially the Delos Empire, which has a standing army of up to five million, while the Dark Elves have a regular army of over four million.

But the thought that the dwarves had managed to quietly amass a million elite troops was enough to give even Barn a major headache; this Black Nightmare was far too powerful.

In an instant, the once noisy Dark Elf Palace became so quiet you could hear a pin drop. To be honest, Dark City was still quite far from the Delos Empire, and the two countries did not even share a border, so Barn wasn't in a hurry.

However, the Dark Elf Queen Maya and the Dark Elf Elder Shaplen are different. As two sworn enemies, the imbalance and power of one race will inevitably lead to the destruction of the other.

However, it is clear that the Dark Elves are not willing to be the one to be wiped out. There are not many options left for the Dark Elves, because they have no idea when the Dwarves will launch an attack. The most reliable option is to ask the Delos Empire for help.

However, the greed of the Delos Empire on the Arad Continent is well-known, and it's easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away. Once the eye-catching Delos Empire's army enters Dark City, it will be difficult to get them to return.

Queen Maya and Elder Shaplen of the Dark Elves clearly knew this, which made them conflicted. Frankly, they lacked confidence in the face of the dwarves' attack. Although the Dark Elves had over four million troops, four hundred T-34 tanks were no match for one hundred Tiger II tanks. This wasn't a matter that numbers could solve.

Barn, a seasoned politician, was well aware of the current situation in Dark City. Looking at the conflicted Dark Elf Queen Maya and the High Elder Shaplen, Barn calmly stated, "The current situation in Dark City is extremely complex. The Delos Empire is preparing to withdraw all personnel from Dark City."

Barn's words caused Queen Maya of the Dark Elves to break out in a cold sweat. It wasn't anything else; the attitude of the Delos Empire was simple: if the Dark Elves didn't invite the Delos Empire's army to aid them in this battle, the Dark Elves themselves would surely perish. "I don't want my people to die with you."

Queen Maya and Elder Shaplen of the Dark Elves were sweating profusely with anxiety, but Lian Yang, standing to the side, could see clearly that Barn had returned with a large force, and his current attempts to retreat were obviously a ploy to lure them in.

How could the greedy Delos Empire possibly let go of such a lucrative prize as Dark City? What a joke.

At the same time, a messenger reported, "Report... A large number of dwarves have suddenly appeared in the drifting cave and are gathering. Their intentions are unclear!" The messenger didn't know what was going on, but the Dark Elf Queen Maya and the Dark Elf Elder Shaplen immediately understood that the dwarves were really going to start a war.

It has to be said that the Dark Elves' arrogance is almost incurable. Barn has already traveled all the way from Dark City to the Delos Empire and back, yet the Dark Elves still haven't managed to find out any information about the Dwarves' preparations for war. On the contrary, when they were cornered by Barn, the messenger finally arrived belatedly with news of the Dwarves' unusual movements.

Lian Yang secretly praised the messenger for delivering a brilliant finishing blow. Undoubtedly, the messenger's words shattered the dark elves' illusions. At this moment, Barn said unhurriedly, "Then Your Majesty, Your Excellency, I still have busy evacuation work to do! We'll meet again someday!"

Having said that, he gave Lian Yang a gesture, and the two of them turned to leave the main hall without even looking up. To be honest, Barn was also quite displeased with the arrogance of the Dark Elf Elder Shaplen, so his departure was particularly decisive.

Barn left decisively, but the Dark Elf Queen Maya was anxious and hurriedly said, "Sword Saint Barn, please wait!"

As they walked side by side, Lian Yang noticed that Barn's eyes lit up noticeably when he heard what the Dark Elf Queen Maya said. Sure enough, Barn stopped and turned around, saying, "I wonder if Your Majesty has anything else to say?"

In a single sentence, Queen Maya of the Dark Elves immediately understood that Barn had never intended to leave; he was simply waiting for them to speak up and promise the benefits of the Delos Empire.

However, at the moment, Queen Maya of the Delos Empire is truly the only better option. Perhaps the adventurers roaming Dark City would be a good choice, but the cost would not be less than inviting the Delos Empire. Moreover, the scattered adventurers fighting their own battles are not as powerful as the Delos Empire.

Queen Maya, caught in a dilemma, gritted her teeth and said, "I implore Sword Saint Barn to help persuade the Emperor of the Delos Empire to assist my Dark Elf Kingdom in fighting against the evil Dwarf Kingdom!"

That's exactly what he was waiting for. Barn casually took out a token, handed it to Lian Yang, and said, "Go back to your post first!"

"Yes!" Lian Yang took the token, his heart skipped a beat, it was a troop mobilization order! Sure enough, Barn had already begun to mobilize a large force from the Delos Empire.
