Evolving Silver Dragon - Chapter 465

Chapter 465: 453 Elf Reinforcements_1

Dawn Forest.

Since the elves here began to blockade the border, obstructing and even hunting any foreigners who attempted to enter, the elves have not seen outsiders for a long time.

Even the death of the Old Elf King and the succession of the new Elf Queen were not well-known to many forces outside Dawn Forest.

Many spies sent to investigate Dawn Forest were killed on the outskirts of the forest, not to mention the dispatch of envoys to participate in Elise’s coronation ceremony.

In this undisturbed period, Elise was consolidating her ruling position as much as possible.

As for Catherine, it was as if she had disappeared completely into the darkness, not seen in the sunlight for a long time.

Meanwhile, in Dawn Forest, some of the elders and other creatures who had expressed dissatisfaction or even insubordination to Elise were quietly disappearing from the world unbeknownst to others.

The voices opposing Elise disappeared incredibly fast. It was as if overnight, the entire Dawn Forest was filled only with voices supporting and praising Elise.

Although elves generally do not concern themselves with worldly affairs, they are not all fools.

Although no one dares to openly proclaim or discuss topics opposing Elise, a heavy and eerie atmosphere is enveloping Dawn Forest.

Some of the elders or smart ones who have preserved themselves have discovered that Elise seems to be rebuilding the Dawn Legion.

This Dawn Legion is not the same as the one that had perished in the Dragon Bone Wasteland, a temporary unit formed only by a codename.

Now, there is no real army in Dawn Forest, only self-assembled Ranger squads to patrol the forest.

The ordinary elves who have grown accustomed to this situation do not find it inappropriate.

But Elise, or rather, Otto, wants to re-establish the true Dawn Legion.

The elite legion that once made the elves strong, terrified surrounding races, and almost conquered the continent at its peak.

At present, Dawn Forest is slowly moving in this direction. However, having grown used to a peaceful and secluded life, Elise and Catherine still have a long way to go to achieve their goal.

But they don’t seem to have that much time, and before long, they receive an unwelcome guest.

Mentor, the Grand General of the Western Empire, visited Dawn Forest as a representative of the Western Empire’s monarch. Due to his special status, Goldleaf Serena, who was responsible for patrolling the outskirts of Dawn Forest, did not dare to dispose of him like ordinary people.

In the end, she had to escort Mentor and his followers to the Elf Royal Court and Dawn Garden to await Elise’s personal judgment.

Sitting on the throne amidst the lush flowers, Elise wore a crown, her demeanor extraordinary.

Since becoming the Elf Queen, the timid maid she used to be is no longer visible in her. A noble and graceful demeanor now fills her entire body.

Even though her appearance has not changed, if comparing her past self to her present self, almost no one would dare to identify them as the same person.

In this state, Elise met with Mentor.

At first, Mentor maintained his charm, speaking at length before Elise even had a chance to say much.

As Elise initially thought, he had come seeking reinforcements. He hoped that Dawn Forest would once again join forces with the Western Empire as they had in the past, forming a united front.

Further, he hoped for assistance to help the Western Empire overcome this crisis, ideally by utilizing one of the three Floating City’s belonging to Dawn Forest.

Clearly, Mentor had done a lot of preparation before coming here. Upon meeting the trusted Elf Queen, he spoke eloquently, his words never repeating.

At first, he was very confident. In his view, a newly appointed ruler should be ambitious.

At the very least, they should be thinking about surpassing the achievements of their predecessor, as is the case with just about every newly ascended ruler in human nations.

But no matter how hard he tried, Elise did not give him any response, causing his once-confident heart to be filled with doubt and unease.

In this audience with the Elf Queen, Mentor was allowed to bring one follower, and the quirky Lady Bauhinia now hid behind him.

Somehow, Lady Bauhinia always felt that the queen who sat before her looked very familiar to her.

It seemed as if she had seen her several times before.

At this moment, faced with the Elf Queen’s long silence, even the well-prepared Mentor began to run out of words.

Looking at the still indifferent Elise who remained silent, Mentor swallowed hard, as the situation had deviated from his expectations.

Why?! Why isn’t that damned elf saying anything after all this time!

Could it be that this so-called new Elf Queen is mute?

Suddenly, Lady Bauhinia quietly tugged at Mentor’s clothes from behind and transmitted some horrifying words to him through a secret method.

Mentor then looked incredulously at the figure sitting high on the throne amidst the flowers, her form like that of a blooming human lily, and his heart turned cold.

After confirming that Lady Bauhinia was not deceiving him, Mentor secretly reached for the specially made Teleportation Scroll.

However, this time was different from before- even after crushing the Teleportation Scroll, nothing happened.

Just as Mentor was filled with confusion, Elise, who had kept quiet until now, finally spoke.

She still sat on the throne in the sea of flowers, raising her eyes to look at Mentor and her cold voice sounding like the crisp song of birds in Mentor’s ears.

Despite the pleasant and beautiful voice, Mentor could only feel endless fear at this moment.

“Except for the elves recognized by me or legendary powerhouses, no one can use magic or magic items here.

Give up, Mentor. I already know your request. Now, all you have to do is to be a guest in the Dawn Garden.”

Next, Elise looked at Lady Bauhinia and said intriguingly, “We can be considered acquaintances. It’s been a long time since we last met. Why don’t you say something to your old friend?”

At this moment, it was the turn for Mentor and Lady Bauhinia to remain silent.

Both were almost desperate as they stared at Elise. They had only been suspicious at first, but now they had finally confirmed their thoughts.

At the same time, Mentor couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. Perhaps this time, the thousand-year-old Felkorde Empire was truly doomed…
