Chapter 609 Being an Emperor is Too Tiring
The gunfire finally stopped, and the deafening explosions abruptly ceased. Because of their special hearing, the elves were extremely sensitive to changes in sound, and the sudden silence made them, who were used to high-decibel noise, feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Nelia led a few strong elves across the ravaged battlefield and into the collapsed black castle before them. Although the various dead Predators on the ground looked disgusting, the elves couldn't hide their excitement.
The elven army, equipped with guns and cannons, breached the Predator's castle in just a few quarters of an hour. The Predators, who possessed great strength but could not even reach a group of young elven archers, all died in despair. This new combat mode surprised Nelia and the other elves, and then they were overjoyed.
"Aiya, since your prince has such powerful guns and cannons, why doesn't he become the emperor of Great Xia? Does he think the army of Great Xia can withstand his massive force?"
"Oh! His Highness Qin Mo is indeed qualified to inherit the throne. He could sit on the dragon throne if he wanted to, but he finds being an emperor too tiring, so he didn't!"
"...Because he found it too tiring, so... he didn't become emperor?" Nelia stopped in her tracks and asked Qin Mo's personal guard captain, Aya, incredulously.
"Yes! That's just how Princess Qin Mo is, but I don't think there's anything wrong with it. This is the kind of princess we love and adore the most!"
"...Do you like him?"
"Oh! Your Highness Nelia, I think you've misunderstood. What we mean by 'liking' is the willingness to follow him, not the kind of liking between partners. However, there are many people who truly want to be His Highness Qin Mo's partner!"
Aya noticed a strange expression on Nelia's face. She thought of Xiaoxia and Wang Yushi from back then, and seemed to understand something. She felt it was necessary to clarify herself.
"oh!"
Nelia responded and continued walking forward thoughtfully. Soon she arrived at the center of the castle, where a solid main hall stood. Judging from the explosion marks on its walls, it had obviously been hit by 57mm infantry cannons, but there was no sign of it collapsing.
Nelia pushed open the door, and a dense aura of evil immediately rushed out. She had to use her star power to add a layer of protection to the several powerful elves around her, as the concentration of evil energy here exceeded her expectations.
A small pyramid-shaped structure stood in the center of the hall, occupying an area of several meters in diameter. A strong sense of evil emanated from this small pyramid, spreading into the sky above this land.
"Your Highness Nelia, do we need to study this?" Countless starlight surged from Aya's body to resist the aura she disliked.
"No need. I just came to see how these monsters that we've been fighting for twenty years survive. Now it seems that the building materials are not from our world, so there's nothing to worry about."
Nelia also disliked this evil aura. She was just worried that when these Predators were at their wits' end, they would pass on this evil technology to the natives of this continent, which would be a disaster with endless consequences.
Nelia turned and left. Aya, who was behind her, casually threw a large bundle of explosives into the main hall. The long fuse burned out as they left the castle grounds. After a loud bang, the lingering evil aura lost its source of power and gradually dissipated into the air.
Spurred by their initial victory, the Elven army unleashed an extraordinary fighting spirit. Under the guidance of the Great Elven race, they launched a frenzied attack on the enemy on the outskirts of the contaminated zone. Whether in open battle or siege warfare, they were unstoppable, possessing an absolute advantage in numbers and firepower.
Sally watched the Predator army marching towards the Elven army, carefully searching for the most suitable target. As soon as the Elven army came into view, the Predators would become more vigilant and it would be harder to strike. Therefore, this would be the best opportunity to snipe them.
Sally is an elven hunter from the Darkmoon Shadow tribe. Her archery skills are considered exceptional among her tribe. The Darkmoon Shadow tribe is a renowned great elven tribe, but Sally's physique is not that of a strong great elf. Her close combat abilities are far inferior to those of other hunters, and she has never been valued within her tribe, thus never being qualified to train under the Tree of Life.
This time, the Silvermoon Clan was recruiting ordinary elven warriors on a large scale. Sally joined the elven army with a group of teenagers from the tribe, and was then noticed by a high-ranking elf who was serving as a rifle shooting instructor.
"You're a natural sniper. Are you interested in joining our Da Yuan army?" When Da Yuan's instructor extended the invitation to Sally, she almost agreed on the spot, but her loyalty to the tribe made her choose to refuse.
Although the elf instructor was somewhat disappointed, he did not mistreat Sally and still assigned her the best 14.5mm sniper rifle, which made her feel both touched and ashamed.
Sally quickly became familiar with the heavy sniper rifle in her hands. It had a long range, good accuracy and lethality, and most importantly, the heavy sniper rifle did not require enough star power to drive continuous fire.
"At a distance of 1200 meters, with a slight crosswind, can you hit it, sister?"
Beside Sally was her younger brother, Uzi. Uzi, who had the physique of a standard great elf, usually considered himself the pillar of the family, but this time he was assigned to be his sister's observer and protector, assisting Sally in observing targets and dealing with any sudden troubles.
