Chapter 362: Chapter 77 Arrow of God Shocks the Enemy_4
Quan Yi was pacing back and forth. The mention of the Elf Princess did not dampen the heat in his heart, yet due to the matter with the assassin, he couldn’t leave the place easily for safety reasons. After a significant number of guards had been gathered in the palace, he ordered four close guards to assist Byinlog. The image of Elf Princess Xing’er occupied his mind: her delicate skin, her waterfall-like pale green hair and her sophisticated figure were all causing him great fascination.
The concubine, who was still lying on the bed, attempted to attract Quan Yi’s attention with her own body, but Quan Yi shot her a cold glare that scared her into silence.
Byinlog quickly entered the inner hall and bowed slightly, "Your Majesty, I have returned."
Quan Yi hurriedly asked, "Master, what happened? Did we capture those invading assassins?"
With a grim face, Byinlog shook his head, "Your Majesty, it seems as if the entire Elf Clan had come. Almost twenty of them came, their magical power is the strongest throughout my life, and we failed to stop them, allowing them to escape. They also saved the Elf Princess. I am useless, please punish me."
Quan Yi’s expression turned somber, he continued to pace anxiously, anger flashing repeatedly in his eyes but he knew better than to vent it. Byinlog was not someone he could offend, without him, Quan Yi would never have his current status. Even though he was in power now, Quan Yi could not overshadow Byinlog in terms of influence in the Empire of Sunset City. Only after a long moment did he manage to compose himself before he said solemnly, "Master, the Elf Clan easily penetrated the palace this time and escaped intact, which is a mockery of our Sunset Empire. Do you think there would be a chance to extinguish the Elf Clan and make them disappear from the continent?" He was by nature a person who held grudges. This incident provoked his authority, causing an upsurge of anger in his heart. Only by annihilating the Elf Clan and recapturing the Elf Princess could his fury be quelled.
Byinlog was taken aback and quickly said, "Your Majesty, we mustn’t! The Federation are too far from the Sunset Empire and the Federation is also the strongest country on this continent. Although the six races in them may not be united, if foreign races invade their territory, those six races will inevitably unite against us which is not something we can handle. What’s more, the Empire of Huasheng shares a border with the Federation. Even though two mountain ranges lay in between, if we rashly attack the Federation, it will give the Empire of Huasheng a reason to attack us. At that point, I am afraid the church will not provide protection anymore. Considering the future of our Empire, we must not do this! I’ve already ordered the four guard elements of Water, Fire, Earth and Wind to spread the word. As long as these Elves haven’t left Sunset City, we still have a chance to recapture the Elf Princess."
Quan Yi took a deep breath, he was not ignorant of the intricacies of the situation. Completely understanding what Byinlog had said, he only impulsively spoke about annihilating the Elf Clan due to his grievance. "I’m sorry, Master, I was too impulsive. We’ll proceed as you suggest. Regardless of the price, we absolutely can’t let those Elves escape Sunset City. Even if they are powerful, I don’t believe they can withstand the Imperial Guard of fifty thousand soldiers. Master, I entrust this matter to you entirely, please notify me as soon as there is news."
Byinlog breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Quan Yi with approval, "Your Majesty is wise, rest assured, this old man will do his utmost to try not to disappoint you."
Quan Yi gave a nod and said loudly, "Guards, deliver my command: All the Forbidden Guards within the Imperial Palace are to remove all the plants within the Palace immediately. I do not wish to see such an incident for the second time." The Elf Queen probably never imagined that her magic which was intended to promote plant growth would bring a catastrophe to the plants within the Imperial Palace of Sunset Empire.
The Elf Queen leading a group of Elves and the Yan Shi brothers had already left the Palace. Although the effect of Melody Magic was gradually fading away, they managed to break out of the palace due to the tall plant cover. Hiding in a dark corner, the Elf Queen kept looking back towards the palace, anxiously waiting. What Ah Dai had done for the Elf Clan filled her heart with gratitude. He floated out in a flash, relieving everyone present. The feeling of rebirth filled their hearts with joy. Audi said in a low voice, "Let’s leave quickly and talk about it later." More than a dozen figures quickly headed towards the Inn.
Under the cover of night, over a dozen figures flew and deftly climbed over the main gate of the inn. They bypassed the buildings in front, returned to the backyard, and quietly entered the room inside the VIP building through the window.
After closing the window and pulling the curtains, everyone exhaled deeply at the same time, their faces all showing an excited expression. The Elf Queen took her daughter from Audi’s arms, tightly hugging the delicate body of Xing’er, and with choked voice said, "My baby, you have suffered. Let your mother take a look at you." Holding Xing’er’s delicate face, she stared carefully at her daughter’s haggard face, tears flowing down her cheeks. The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried. Looking at them, Ah Dai smiled with relief. Having accomplished the task assigned by the Elf Queen, he too had gotten something off his chest.
