With Xiao Linlin's location tracking, the approximate positions of the two magic balls became clear.
Based on information provided by the pure-blooded elves, it has been basically confirmed that one of them is in the hands of the Elf Queen.
Jia Zhengyi was eager to see what the Elf Queen looked like. After all, even pure-blooded elves had such stunning beauty, so wouldn't the Queen be as beautiful as a goddess?
But Xiao Linlin did not do as he wished, and instead chose to deal with another magic ball first.
Xiao Linlin's plan included the intention of "forcibly recruiting the Elf Queen," but this plan carried certain risks. The team was unsure of the Elf Queen's strength and whether unexpected factors might arise during the forced recruitment.
With this in mind, Xiao Linlin planned to save the Queen's magic ball for last, so that even if there were any unexpected situations, she could grab the magic ball and run away.
As long as the Holy Scepter remains intact, the team can escape at any time, and even if they are besieged by all the elves in the world, they will still have the initiative.
After the initial plan was finalized, Jia Zhengyi resigned as commander of the human front, using the excuse of continuing the adventure to take the elves away.
No matter how reluctant the commander was, he had no reason to refuse; in the native world, no one could stop the elves from leaving or staying.
Of course, most of the human NPCs also figured out the team's goal, which was probably related to the remaining magic orbs.
After all, the squad's pursuit of the Holy Scepter was almost undisguised, and the human faction had long been aware of it. The commander had also received hints from his superiors and offered to provide some assistance to the squad when Jia Zhengyi took his leave.
The so-called help, naturally, was to assist the team in taking down the remaining magic orbs. In the human camp's judgment, the Holy Scepter was what the elven race wanted, and one of the remaining two orbs was in the hands of the elves.
That means the elves only need to get one more ball.
And the remaining ball... what a coincidence! The human faction knows where it is! It's in the hands of the goblins, humanity's allies in the coalition!
The goblins are a member of the human alliance in this multi-race war. Like the elves, they have a low profile in this battle.
The elves are averse to conflict, and apart from the wave of elves led by Sulin, there are basically no large-scale elven forces aiding the human empire; while the goblins have a low profile, and their presence is due to their lack of strength.
The goblins are considered one of the seven major races because they are incredibly prolific and have a huge population. However, in terms of global standing, the goblins are actually not as powerful as the other six races.
On the surface, the goblin race is an ally of humanity, but in reality, they are vassals of the human empire, depending heavily on it for their geographical location, internal economic structure, various resources, and magical technology.
Goblins are indeed extremely skilled in magical technology research, which is also a racial characteristic, but unfortunately this lifeline was cut off by the human empire long ago.
In this large-scale battle, the goblins really put in a lot of effort. At least many of the cannon fodder legions and reinforcements on various fronts were made by goblins. Furthermore, the goblins themselves were also responsible for the main confrontation against the Naga front, and it is said that they invested more than ten million units of military defense.
However, they were too weak and were easily defeated by the Naga, who were not good at land warfare, resulting in a complete collapse.
The human faction didn't expect the goblins to be of much help either. As for the magic orb within the goblin race, it was ultimately a gift from His Majesty the King in the past, carrying a sense of extra reward for a [servant race].
Now that the elven adventure team wants this magic orb, the human empire can naturally provide political assistance to persuade the goblins to hand it over voluntarily.
This isn't entirely about the human empire disregarding the interests of its allies and fawning over the elves... In fact, it also reveals the unique political wisdom of the human race.
Doing so would at least save face for the elves, strengthen the close ties between their own faction and the elven race, and appease these tens of thousands of elves.
Secondly, it was also because the elves, through Jia Zhengyi, expressed their determination to obtain the Holy Scepter.
If I don't intervene and let the goblins and elves fight, it's a minor issue if the goblins suffer losses; it would also damage the apparent alliance of the three races, and the human camp itself would be in an awkward position.
The war between the various races is not yet completely over, and the orcish camp is only unsure of the elf race's intentions, so they have temporarily withdrawn their troops to observe.
With a major war still a possibility, the human empire, weighing its options, naturally decided to go all in and support the Sulin Squad.
Based on this, Xiao Linlin guessed the underlying reason, which led Jia Zhengyi to readily agree to the human camp's assistance.
A few days later, the team set off with a large group of elves, accompanied by several human archmages and sword saints, approaching the goblin stronghold under the guise of a "diplomatic mission".
Coincidentally, most of the members of this human diplomatic delegation were officials in charge of special affairs related to the Magic Ball, including the "fierce old man" that Jia Zhengyi had been longing to see.
Along the way, Jia Zhengyi occasionally teased the NPC, deliberately showing off Xiao Linlin and the Holy Scepter in front of them: Look, I have a whole seven of those magic orbs that you've been trying so hard to find!
Coupled with Jia Zhengyi's dazzling gold protective gear, he exuded a unique kind of ostentatiousness, which prevented the NPCs from getting angry.
They're all working for the government, so if the magic orb is specifically for the elves, then let them have it.
As long as the overall situation of the war remains stable, a sacred scepter is nothing to worry about.
Moreover, the elves are by nature not to compete, so they pose little threat if they obtain powerful weapons. This is a choice that the human empire would rather see. Naturally, these NPCs are too lazy to bother with Jia Zhengyi.
