Lord's Log: "Alaunita Gnor has captured Ziwell, and Ziwell has fallen."

"..."

Ragnar immediately revealed himself from the distant pool, appearing before Su Yue in the darkness of Innsmouth. He respectfully said:

"My lord! The city of Ziwell has fallen!! The High Elves' Eredar Gnor have breached the entire city, and in addition to the High Elves, a small number of Wood Elf troops have also been discovered."

"..."

Su Yue thought to himself, "What a fickle person! He's always switching sides." He had already anticipated this situation when the High Elf Kingdom and the Krado High Elf Kingdom attacked him.

"Where is Malekith? Where are my troops?"

Su Yue looked puzzled, because logically speaking, since the city of Chiwell, located on the edge of the Canaan coast, had fallen, then Malekith's troops should have either been defeated or retreated... His 5,000 elite imperial troops did not show any defeat or disappearance on the entire map; instead, the dots were still there.

This means that the occupation of Chivel City, as indicated in the lord's log, did not affect his imperial troops? What the hell is going on?

Ragnar said, "Before the fall of Ziwell, your Imperial troops had already withdrawn in an orderly manner and are currently escorting important figures from Ziwell to the Canaanite Territory!"

"..."

Su Yue said, "The elves' offensive is fierce! What is Malekith doing?"

The Black Witch King, could be considered the leader of the Dark Elves or even their emperor?

He just abandoned Chivel like that?

How did I explain myself to him?

That doesn't seem right either.

With his own divine overlord's 100% loyalty and the extremely high salary he had given Malekith, a 7th-rank high priest hero, there was no reason for him to betray him.

What does that tell us?

"Could there be a trap involved?"

Su Yue fell into deep thought.

Malekith, male, 7th-tier Dark Elf Lord. Lord Skills: Advanced Tactics, Master-level Leadership. Hero Trait: S-rank Nagalos Dark Elf Witch King: Malekith's Dark Elf troops gain +85% attack power.

Tier A King of Naga Lund: Dark Elf diplomacy +20%, Naga Lund Blackguard, Dreadspearmen, Darkblademasters and Darkblade Crossbowmen maintenance costs -25%.

—Midnight Armor: Malekith's entire body has merged with the Dark Armor of Midnight, becoming one with it; no one has ever seen the true face behind his armor.

Looking at these incredibly impressive attributes, Su Yue couldn't understand why Malekith should have been defeated.

"His Dark Elf attack rate of 85% is already top-tier among top-tier talents."

"Like the sharpest spear in the world?"

"Wait, the sharpest spear in the world??"

"Is that bastard Malekith planning to attack the city???"

————————

As the torrential rain struck, countless important figures, merchants, and politicians in Qiwell City began to flee to distant places, but Ereda Gnor felt that something was amiss.

The 750 Tier 3 Heirs of Matheran Heavy Guards were lined up in neat rows, and the 200+ Tar Archers were marching proudly into the human coastal city of Chiwell. However, what made Lord Ereda Genor feel uneasy was that they encountered extremely fierce resistance at the beginning.

However, although the city's defenses were breached by the elves' catapults, the resistance was surprisingly weak.

This is completely illogical!!

The humans of Qiwiel City watched in utter terror and horror as these long-eared demons of the High Elves appeared.

That's right, they themselves thought that the High Elves were exactly like a group of terrifying long-eared demons.

Once they begin to rule the city of Ziwell, as a species of high elves, they will naturally reject the human species, thus launching attacks and persecutions against humans!

"My lord, what should we do with Qiweier City now?"

There are only three ways to deal with a city. One is destructive looting, but without destroying the city's architectural structure. To put it bluntly, it's burning, killing, and looting!

The second type is to commit no offenses whatsoever, meaning neither burning, killing, looting, nor destroying buildings.

The third option is to burn the entire city to the ground without any scruples, then slaughter all the humans in the city or drive them out. Sometimes, if the enemy is too hateful and the lord needs to vent his anger, he will often resort to massacring the city.

But Ereda Gnold had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

"Something's not right. That lord named Malekith is extremely knowledgeable about our High Elves' war traditions and skills. Logically, he shouldn't have given up on Qivel City so easily!!!"

Ereda Genor pondered for a long time, then suddenly exclaimed in horror, "Immediately mobilize the army and return!!"

A massive army of nearly 50,000 High Elves!

The Tier 4 High Elf Tidebringers gathered in dense numbers, while the terrifying force of 2,000 Tier 5 High Elf Sword Saints, originally densely packed like a parade, entered the city of Qiwiel. Every High Elf long-eared soldier had a cold and arrogant expression on their face.

However, this very arrogance often becomes the High Elves' greatest weakness!

"Boom!!"

Crimson lightning slashed down from the sky!

A scout suddenly relayed a respectful message: "Lord Eredar Genor!! Urgent report from Remir: Remir's territory has been invaded and is now in imminent danger!!"

"What?????"

Ereda Genor didn't understand why she was only receiving the news now.

But it was too late to think it through. In his eyes, exchanging territory with a city of a lowly human empire was nothing more shameful or infuriating! They—they were noble elves!

The high elves, who considered themselves superior, listened in shock and horror to Remiel's urgent message.

The massive, dark army actually began to flow backwards from outside the city walls.

Countless humans in the city of Qiwei asked with surprised and puzzled expressions, "What's going on? Aren't the high elves going to continue occupying us?"

Ereda Genor immediately issued an order, saying, "Leave 10,000 troops behind. Rivendell, you are in charge of the defense of Chiwell. The rest of the troops go to Remiel Territory to provide support!"

"yes!!"

Just then, the scout brought news again!

"Lord Ereda Genor!! The Empire's 80,000-strong rebel army has collapsed, and Lord Su Yue of the White Horse has now occupied the entire territory of Kafulwit and is mobilizing a large army towards us!!!"

"What??"

"Kavrwit has been taken back by the Canaanite lords."

A scout from the north reported, "My lord, the Canaanite dwarves at the northern fortress are acting strangely!"

"Damn it!!!!"

Ereda Genor immediately felt immense pressure. He roared angrily, "Leave 20,000 troops in Chivel, the rest retreat!!"

"My lord, the Canaanite army in the north is gathering, numbering over 30,000!"

"!!"

Ereda Genor was overwhelmed by a terrible pressure. Although they seemed to have captured the city of Ziwell, he felt as if he were on the verge of collapse, adrift in a storm on the high seas.

Once the territory of Remiel behind him falls, the collapse of that impregnable high elf castle will not only mean that Remiel is in trouble, but also that their 50,000+ elven army will completely lose its logistics and support.

Once the supply lines collapse, and the city of Chivel lacks the arrows and weapons the High Elves need, as well as reserve troops and legions, even their retreat will be difficult!

"Damn it!! What are the Lor'themar family of Remiel doing???"

Lor'themar were a powerful high elf family native to Remir. He thought to himself, "Thank goodness Remir's territory hasn't fallen yet!"

Once Remiel falls, they will be besieged from three sides: the dwarves of the northern fortress, the invading army of Malekith from Remiel's territory behind them, and the Canaanite forces that have already occupied the entire territory of Kafulwit. To the south, below are rivers and bays, and their 50,000-strong army simply does not have enough ships to escape.

Strategically speaking, the Canaanite territory is now like a giant pair of pincers, almost completely encircling them!

From a tactical standpoint, he has indeed captured Chivel City!

But no matter how much Alaunita Gnor thought about it, she felt that the city of Zivel was a trap! A terrible trap that Malekith and the Canaanite lord Su Yue had long ago laid out to devour their high elf army!

"Terrible Canaan, damned Canaan, evil Canaan!!"

"Canaan must be destroyed! The Kingdom of Krado High Elves will never have peace! Immediately request support from the kingdom!"

If he had known how terrifying and troublesome Canaan was, he would never have boasted like the Phoenix King of the Krador Elf Kingdom, claiming that he could easily defeat Canaan, never!

Now that underestimating his opponent has caused crisis and trouble, he asked, "When will the Wood Elf reinforcements arrive? I demand that Durson Los immediately send reinforcements to aid Remir."

The scout reported, "Durson Los claims he has been attacked by the Canaanite army, and his 25,000 Wood Elf troops are resting and unable to launch an attack."

"!!!!"

Durson Los is a shrewd fellow. He secretly opened four shipping routes with Su Yue's Canaan territory. Now that there is a conflict between Remiel and Chiwell City's territories, how could he possibly help his ally? He's just playing both sides. What difference does it make who he sides with?

At this moment, Durson Lost felt a shock as he gazed at the scene of the fall of the city of Chiwell and the imprisonment of the elven army in the distance.

"This wasn't a setup you deliberately orchestrated beforehand, was it? If so, your scheme is truly terrifying..."

He felt a renewed sense of awe towards Su Yue, the Canaanite lord, this hero.
