Chapter 629 I'm a Little Girl Too
In the autumn of the second year of Jinglong, the orcish high priest Durotan discovered a large number of elven warriors in Oslo, the former capital of the elves, and then led his troops in a probing attack on Oslo. This was the second time in six hundred years that the orcs had attacked Oslo.
This war had the same outcome as the last one, with the orcs being forced to retreat, but the process was quite different.
Six hundred years ago, the orcs drove the elves to the brink of destruction. It was the elven emperor Achilles who sacrificed his life to severely wound the orc leader, the Great Shaman, causing the orcs to retreat. However, in this siege six hundred years later, the orcs didn't even have time to get close to the city walls before they were beaten and frightened into abandoning the siege and turning to fleeing.
The elven warriors chased after the orcs for over a hundred miles before slowly retreating under the restraint of their own strongmen. During this time, the orc wolf riders had already organized several small-scale ambushes, inflicting hundreds of casualties on the elven warriors.
The dense jungle reduced visibility and communication, significantly diminishing the effectiveness of rifles. Furthermore, the pursuing Elven warriors struggled to maintain a disciplined formation, making casualties inevitable when ambushed by wolf riders. Although the Orcs suffered even greater losses, such unnecessary sacrifices were not in line with the Elven combat philosophy.
"Hey! Nelia, what brings you back? Weren't you guys out there trying to kill those two unlucky high priests?"
"Qin Mo, don't you think you're being shameful? We're all fighting, and you're hiding here grilling fish?"
Qin Mo shook the grilled fish in her hand, wiped the crumbs from the corner of her mouth, and said embarrassedly, "I originally wanted to kill a few orcs to contribute to the revival of the Elf Empire, but you guys were just too domineering. You scared all the orcs away, and I didn't catch a single one!"
"Try it, this cod from the sea is really great!" Qin Mo handed a skewer to Nelia with great embarrassment, but the Elf King did not take it.
Nelia's face was colder than the Arctic wind, not because of Qin Mo, but because a dark queen was beside Qin Mo, squinting as she ate grilled fish, completely ignoring the menacing Elf King, as if all the world's delicacies were contained in the skewer of grilled fish in her hand.
"Qin Mo, I heard that all your wives and concubines have eaten the kebabs you personally grilled, is that right?"
"...Nelia, who told you that? You're wronging me. Ellen has eaten my kebabs, and so has Mom... Haven't you tried them?"
Nelia didn't respond to Qin Mo's words, but just stared at Isabel to see her reaction. When the topic of Qin Mo's wives and concubines and the relationship with the grilled fish skewers came up, the Dark Queen was obviously stunned for a moment, then remained silent for a while. She then stretched out her pale, slender hand, took the largest skewer of grilled fish from Qin Mo's hand, and ate it elegantly.
Qin Mo: "......."
"Hmph! You two are indeed innocent." Nelia snorted coldly and flashed away.
"Isabel, you did that on purpose, didn't you? I mean, how old are you? Why are you arguing with a little girl like her?" Qin Mo complained with a headache, thinking about how to answer when her mother came over to question her later.
How did you know I was just arguing with her?
Isabel opened her mouth slightly, ate the last bit of fish, and said softly, "By the standards of our vampire lifespan, I'm still just a young girl! Why should I give in to her?"
"...We're related by blood..."
"If I don't admit it, who will believe me?" The usually calm and elegant Dark Queen suddenly turned to look at Qin Mo, her pink pupils revealing a cunning glint.
That evening, the Elf Royal Court held its first plenary meeting since arriving in the Western Continent to discuss the next strategic steps after the initial victory. Qin Mo attended the meeting as an elder of the Royal Court.
A hand-drawn map of Scandinavia by Qin Mo hung on the wall of the makeshift meeting room, and Nelia, as the Elf Queen of the Royal Court, spoke first.
“Garrosh has escaped, but Durotan is seriously injured. I think the Frostwolf Clan will continue to retreat eastward, so we need to pursue them as quickly as possible and kill as many orc warriors as possible before the enemy reinforcements arrive.”
“Actually, we could also send three Saint-level experts to Moscow to make a trip and put the orcs in a state of panic. Then they wouldn’t send reinforcements here! The Frostwolf Clan doesn’t have any particularly good relations with the other clans, and they can’t afford to pay enough for reinforcements.”
“I agree with Saint Luna’s opinion. As long as we demonstrate our strength, the orcs will not easily engage in a decisive battle with us. They need time to gather enough troops and high priests, which gives us time to pursue the enemy in front of us.”
The elven saints and elders were very excited. They had come to see the entire Frostwolf Clan as a helpless sheep, whose fate was nothing more than being braised, stewed, or roasted.
"Ahem! I think we should leave them a way out!" Qin Mo's lazy voice rang out, and then all the dozen or so heavyweights of the Elven race shut their mouths.
How deep is the hatred between the elves and the orcs? It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as a blood feud. Now someone actually jumped out and said to leave them a way out. This is simply treason against the elves. They should be hung on the Tree of Life and beaten half to death.
Qin Mo was certainly not a traitor, and no elf would dare to beat him half to death. There were only a few people in the entire elven race who could harm him, and they were either his relatives or were about to become his relatives. It could be said that Qin Mo could now walk sideways in the royal court and no one dared to interfere.
