Crossing The Dragon: The King Sacrifices The Princess At The Beginning

"You are very talented, but you need to understand that the awakening of the sub-elf is risky."

"I understand, Your Highness Anya."

"So are you ready? I will guide you to see the glory of the goddess!"

Kneeling in front of the woman in a luxurious elf dress was a sub-elf. She was still a child. Even though she had washed herself, she still couldn't hide the fatigue deep in her eyes, but at this time she was more expectant and excited.

Her clothes were very old, as if they had been worn for a long time, and were incompatible with the luxurious gilded floors in the palace.

The woman reached out and caressed the girl's head with gentle movements and a smile on her lips. However, the moment the girl closed her eyes, the warmth in her eyes was replaced by malice and greed.

A shadow sprang out from her hand like a poisonous snake and completely enveloped the girl.

The girl woke up from her tenderness. Her eyes were dark, only the devil's scream. Her throat seemed to be strangled by cold claws, and she couldn't say a word.

At the same time, she could feel something reaching into her body to take something away.

"No...that's me, the only one..."

"It cannot be taken away..."

The struggle is in vain.

"Awakening failed."

Looking at the corpse on the ground, the woman sighed helplessly.

The elves waiting outside entered the palace and skillfully placed the girl's body into a basket woven with leaves.

They couldn't bear to see Anya covering her face and crying.

"Your Highness, don't be sad. This is their own choice."

"Yes, Your Highness, you have already said that you may die if you fail to awaken, but it does increase the probability of awakening... They have been prepared for it."

Anya nodded painfully and murmured sadly:

"I understand that this is for the elves to become great again, but every time I see my people die in my hands, my heart breaks like a knife!"

"Your Highness, you are too tired, please rest more."

"If you tire yourself out, our elves' hope of rising will be gone."

The two elf guards offered words of comfort to each other. Seeing Anya still standing by the window crying, they could only sigh and leave the temple.

The conditions for the sub-elves to be forcibly awakened are still too harsh.

Now only six of the hundreds of sub-elves have awakened, but it is still better than none before.

The two elves left the palace, buried the girl's body under an oak tree at the edge of the emerald forest, simply carved a tombstone with stone, and then wrote the girl's name on it.

Jessikana means a soul as free as the wind.

"May your soul rest in peace in the winds of nature."

The elf stood in front of the grave and prayed silently for a while, so this was the funeral of a sub-elf who failed to awaken.

"The Winter Empire is really too much."

An elf next to him said coldly: "Can't we elves use the source of the wilderness? Is it possible that after we rise, we can repay kindness with enmity?"

"Hey, what should I say about this? Or did we refuse when the sub-elves of the Winter Empire asked us if we wanted to join them?"

"Real elves will not succumb to humans. The Winter Empire is a bunch of spineless people! Just wait, we have Her Majesty Anya now, it is only a matter of time before she rises!"

"I agree with this..."

The two elves walked away talking.

After a long time, the leaves on the oak tree moved slightly, and the figure of Eladak Windrunner emerged from the trees.

He glanced at the direction the elf guards left, and his eyes fell on the tombstone again.

"The 106th one..."

Eladak fell from the tree and stood next to the tombstone.

"Feel sorry."

He bowed his head and prayed, then used his moon blade to dig out the girl's body and take it away.

After leaving the Black Nest Empire, he did not return to the tribe, but wandered outside the Emerald Forest.

Since there are not many elves living outside the Emerald Forest, coupled with his hiding ability and understanding of elves, no elves have discovered him even after a long time.

But during the time he was dormant, hundreds of sub-elves had died in Anya's hands. You must know that there were less than two hundred sub-elves in the entire Emerald Forest.

If they continue to die like this, the sub-elves in the Emerald Forest will become extinct.

I remember that at the beginning, the sub-elves in the Emerald Forest wanted to attach themselves to the Winter Empire. It was the tree elves who scolded these sub-elves back and promised to give them a good future.

Now Eladak only felt his face hurt.

"Sure enough, Anya is already in a hurry. In the past, she would have spent time removing the shadow divinity..."

Windrunner looked at the remaining shadow on the girl's neck and murmured to himself. In the past, Anya only accepted one demi-human awakening a day, but now it has become three, or even four or five a day. There was no problem with the previous corpses. Until recently, he finally discovered the shadow divinity in some demihuman elves.

"This evidence should be enough to overthrow Anya."

Eladak looked at the seven or eight sub-elven corpses behind him and muttered to himself.

Had it not been for the use of special conservation techniques, many of these corpses would have rotted away.

He planned to take these corpses directly to the great elder of the Elven Court - Storm Mage Luna Porter, who was about to break through to the legendary level, to explain the situation.

He has limited strength and cannot stop Anya.

But Luna Porter definitely has this ability.

After finding a rope and tying these sub-elves together and carrying them on his back, Eladak poured the power of wind into the surrounding areas, and at the same time activated the concealment spell and moved all the way towards the center of the Elf King's Court.

As a former bodyguard, he was very familiar with the patrol rules and shift times of the Elven Court Patrol Team, so he came to Elder Luna's residence without any effort.

"Whether it can happen or not depends on what Elder Luna says next."

He took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

Soon there were footsteps inside.

Luna opened the door and was stunned for a moment when she saw Eladak carrying a circle of corpses on his back.

"Eladak? When did you come back? And these things on you..."

"Elder Luna, let's go in and talk! This matter is related to the future of our elves!"

Eladak's face was serious.

Although Elder Luna doesn't take care of things very much, he is one of the strongest among all the elves. If he can persuade Elder Luna, he can use Elder Luna to eradicate Anya.

In this way, the elves will not be destroyed by the Lord of the Black Nest.

Although he is now loyal to the Lord of the Black Nest.

But he is an elf after all, and he still has feelings inside.

The two entered the house.

Luna looked at Eladak, who was behaving strangely, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

"Eladak, what's going on with you? Do you know how much of a sin it is to dig up the corpses of our fellow elves and disturb the rest of the souls?!"
