“What are you doing?” Tina looked Lu Ran up and down.
Upon realizing he was still that same lone human, her already agitated heart grew even more annoyed.
Given the current situation.
Tina saw no solution. She couldn’t lead her people away, couldn’t win a fight, and was stuck in an impossible position with no way out.
And just at this moment, this human had to come out and cause trouble.
If he weren’t the Elven Emissary, she would have shot him dead with an arrow long ago!
At the same time.
The group of human professionals was also stunned.
“Who the hell is this kid? Too arrogant!”
“Didn’t you hear earlier? He’s Liu Xinxin’s brother!”
“And also the Elven Emissary. Damn, isn’t the Necromancer, that evil class, the one elves hate the most?”
“Emissary or not, why jump out now?”
“We’re just here to watch the show. I hope this kid doesn’t drag humanity into the front lines as cannon fodder. I don’t want to die!”
…
Amidst the chatter.
Lu Ran grinned at Tina.
He said, “Your Majesty, how about a deal?”
The Elven Queen frowned, not understanding. “What do you mean? Battle is imminent, what do you want to do?”
Lu Ran glanced towards the Dark Elf side.
He said, “This battle was unavoidable from the start. But looking at the situation now, do you think the Natural Elves can win?”
“There’s no need for you to remind me. The Natural Elves fear no battle!” Tina said stubbornly.
In fact, Lu Ran’s lack of faith in the Natural Elves only fueled her anger further.
“Not fearing battle is praiseworthy. But if the entire Natural Elf race perishes here, and in the end, you still end up handing over your homeland to the Dark Elves, what’s the point of this fight?” Lu Ran retorted.
Tina’s expression instantly darkened.
Although she understood the situation, having Lu Ran spell it out so bluntly was something she couldn’t accept.
Lu Ran pressed his advantage, saying, “You were coexisting peacefully. Even if the World Tree were to wither, it wouldn’t happen in a few years or decades. But because of your declaration of war, you risk dooming the entire Natural Elf race. Your crime would be immense.”
Tina’s body trembled violently.
She gritted her teeth and said, “What exactly are you trying to say! I have no solution right now!”
Lu Ran chuckled inwardly. Of course you don’t, otherwise, how could I play my part?
So.
Lu Ran said, “I can solve this. But if I do, I need Your Majesty to agree to one condition.”
Tina sneered.
She said, “Impossible. The Elven race will never engage in unsavory dealings with humans. As a High Elf, it’s even more impossible for me to…”
Huh?
Lu Ran’s eyes widened. Damn, heaven and earth as my witness, I really wasn’t thinking of doing anything to the Elven Queen Tina!
Lu Ran quickly explained, “Your Majesty misunderstands. That’s not the condition.”
“Then what is it?” Tina asked.
“Let’s discuss it after we win? I assure you, what I need won’t affect the Natural Elf race,” Lu Ran said.
He knew that asking for the Wings of the Elves now would be met with absolute refusal from Tina.
So he’d hold off for now, just give her a heads-up.
Then get to work!
Tina looked up towards the Dark Elf side.
She took a deep breath and said, “Fine, I agree. As long as you can resolve this crisis and achieve my goal of retrieving the Magic Stone, I will give you what you want. But let’s be clear upfront, anything vital to the continuation of the Natural Elf race, I will not give you.”
Lu Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He chuckled and said, “Deal. Then leave the next part to me.”
Tina nodded.
Her gaze on Lu Ran was filled with doubt.
She could tell at a glance that this human Necromancer was only level 30-something.
Although it was strange for someone at that level to possess two pieces of Titan Epic equipment.
But relying on just those two Titan Epic items was far from enough to handle this situation.
Or, to be strict, this wasn’t a situation a single individual’s combat power could influence at all!
She wanted to see.
How exactly this human Necromancer planned to handle it!
To put it bluntly.
Deep down, Tina didn’t believe this human Necromancer had the capability to manage the situation before them.
She only agreed because he seemed so confident, treating it as a last resort after exhausting all other options.
After getting permission.
Lu Ran turned to face the Dark Elf army.
Although he didn’t expect any surprises.
He still followed the habit Liu Xinxin had taught him.
He raised the Trident of the Sea Calmer in his hand.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~
Over a dozen Ancient Golems were summoned around him.
Feeling it wasn’t enough, Lu Ran summoned a dozen more.
A total of over thirty clustered around Lu Ran.
The sight left Tina utterly dumbfounded.
Necromancers, practitioners of evil arts, were among the classes disliked by the peace-loving Natural Elves.
And this spectacle similarly drew the attention of everyone present, including the elves.
Even.
Within the group of human professionals, people were stunned.
“What… what did this kid just do?”
“Those are the Necromancer’s Ancient Golems? Damn, how come there are so many!”
“As expected of Liu Xinxin’s brother, too powerful!”
“Powerful my foot! Using a few dozen Ancient Golems to defeat the Dark Elves? Dream on!”
“A Necromancer… Could he be that mysterious top player from the Deathmatch Arena and the Endless Tower?”
“A level 30-something Necromancer? Give me a break!”
“Hey, wait! That in his hand… is that… the Trident of the Sea Calmer?”
…
For a moment, discussions about Lu Ran rose and fell incessantly.
Liu Xinxin said calmly, “After we leave here, I don’t want any information about Lu Ran leaking. If it does leak, if it spreads, I have all your information. I won’t waste time investigating who leaked it. I will hunt them down and kill them, one by one, spare none.”
Better to kill by mistake than let any slip through!
The usually shy and gentle Liu Xinxin.
Now spoke with a voice full of killing intent!
As the guild master of Mirror Flower, Water Moon, and with her deep, intricate connections to the state, Liu Xinxin meant what she said. She had the capability!
Everyone gulped audibly, nodding their heads like chickens pecking at rice, forcing smiles.
Of course.
Liu Xinxin wasn’t actually that ruthless; she was just scaring these people.
But the effect should be good enough.
Actually, at Lu Ran’s current stage, even if he were exposed, it wouldn’t matter much.
But before the World War, it’s best if he isn’t exposed.
As for Lu Ran.
He had already begun his operation.
After summoning the Ancient Golems.
He directly looked at the Dark Elf Queen, Si Luoluo.
With a single glance, the prompt above Si Luoluo’s head instantly changed from ‘Can be Controlled’ to ‘Controlled’!
Immediately, the look in Si Luoluo’s eyes when she gazed at Lu Ran changed.
No longer the previous scrutiny and curiosity, but absolute fervor and loyalty!
Then.
Lu Ran swept his gaze from left to right, covering large swathes of the army at once!
Simultaneously, the command in his mind repeated continuously.
Large groups of Dark Elves, along with their Shadowmane Lion mounts, all had a change in their eyes!
And on Lu Ran’s side, mission prompts kept refreshing:
[Subdued 10 Dark Elves, unlocked D-rank reward!]
[Subdued 100 Dark Elves, unlocked C-rank reward!]
[Subdued 1,000 Dark Elves, unlocked B-rank reward!]
[Subdued 10,000 Dark Elves, unlocked A-rank reward!]
…
Behind him.
The Elven Queen Tina still didn’t know what was happening.
She was only puzzled that the Necromancer was just standing there motionless, but the atmosphere on the Dark Elf side seemed to have undergone some subtle change she couldn’t quite understand…
