Chapter 14: Entrapment Tactic
The next morning.
The elite team composed of royal Knights successfully arrived at the Forsaken Land.
Their eyes were firm and their martial arts were powerful. Each of them was an elite warrior among Humans.
When they approached a cliff, the leading Knight stopped.
“Alright, let’s set up camp here.”
The leading Knight, Ron, dismounted and came to the edge of the cliff to look from afar.
He had thought that the Forsaken Land would be a very bad place.
He did not expect this place to be so beautiful.
At the edge of the cliff, there was a huge river rushing past, and beside it was a huge waterfall.
There were also some wild fruit trees growing around, and there were many small animals on them.
With water and food, it was a suitable place to set up camp.
Ron took off his armor and stretched luxuriously.
This time, His Highness Caesar had given them three missions.
One was to build a base camp here so that the Knights could come and clean up the beasts.
The second was to get some special wood here to build a monument for the dead Knight.
The third was to eliminate all the wild beasts nearby.
His Highness Caesar promised that as long as they brought the heads of the beasts as proof.
Each beast’s head could be exchanged for two gold coins!
What a good job.
...
In the Dark Elven castle.
“Why is there another bunch of flies...”
Ai Qing looked at the scene in the crystal ball and muttered unhappily.
She had clearly killed all the flies from before. The last fly was also tortured badly by her and her sisters.
But why were there new flies?
“Annoying Humans, how annoying!”
“Don’t worry, everything is going according to plan.”
Moon Bell smiled and rubbed her angry sister.
With a wave of her hand, the scene in the crystal ball dissipated like smoke.
“Sister, you always talk about plans. What exactly are you planning?”
“Sister is planning to catch a big fish.”
Moon Bell’s lips curled into a beautiful smile.
Her sister might not understand right now.
However, when the plan was completely implemented, she should understand.
“These annoying flies are just bait for the big fish.”
“What is it?”
Ai Qing was still pouting, looking dissatisfied.
“You!”
Moon Bell giggled and reached out to pinch her sister’s rosy cheek.
“Don’t be angry. I’ll give you a mission, okay?”
Upon hearing this, Ai Qing’s eyes lit up and she stood up immediately.
“Sister, do you agree to let me kill the flies?”
“Of course, it’s part of the plan.”
Moon Bell gently patted her sister’s back and whispered in her ear.
“Go, kill them all. This time, don’t leave a single one alive.”
“Yay!”
Ai Qing picked up all the scrolls in front of her and jumped out of the window of the castle.
A moment later, a black bat with slender ears flew up from under the window and flew far away towards the Human gathering place.
“Sister, help me tell Teacher that I’ll be back for dinner later!”
“Go on.”
Watching her sister’s figure gradually disappear into the distance, Moon Bell opened the crystal ball again to observe the situation in the territory.
The Knight who escaped must have spread the news to the outside world.
There were not many new Knights in this group. It was very likely that they were an advanced team in charge of reconnaissance.
Moreover, they had the emblem of the royal family on them.
It seemed that the news spread that Knight had attracted the attention of some important figures.
But that wasn’t enough.
They had to attract more attention.
Moon Bell lazily leaned back in her chair, watching the Knights in the crystal ball.
With her sister’s strength, it would only take her lunch to get rid of them.
...
“I’m done. Come and eat.”
Fang Ping placed a plate of fried noodles on the table.
Just as she was about to sit down, she suddenly frowned.
One of the two people in front of him was missing.
“Where’s Ai Qing? Did she go out to play again?”
“Yeah.”
Moon Bell nodded affirmatively.
“It’s fine. I have some left in the kitchen. She can have it when your sister comes back.”
“Alright, Teacher.”
“By the way, have you been busy recently?”
Moon Bell lowered her eyes and nodded slightly.
The Human empire had already begun to friction with the Dark Elven Kingdom.
This Royal Knight Squad was only a precursor to the start of the battle.
The further she went, the more things she had to deal with.
It was already not bad that she had the time to meet her teacher during this period of time.
“This is only the beginning. Things will get busier later.”
“I see.”
Fang Ping ate his lunch leisurely.
He did not expect Moon Bell to be so busy recently.
His first student seemed to have a high status in the village.
She seemed to be the daughter of the village chief.
However, the village chief seemed to have passed away very early.
Ever since he first met Moon Bell four years ago, she had been helping the village solve all kinds of problems.
Although Moon Bell was enthusiastic and had the temperament of a leader.
But to put it bluntly, this place was just a small mountain village.
She had such a talent for greater leadership.
If she received focused nurturing on her skills, she would at least be a leader in the company or a leader of the country in the future.
But if Moon Bell stayed in this mountain village...
In this life, she could only mediate between neighbors.
Just like a phoenix trapped in a chicken coop, no matter how outstanding it was, it could only live like a chicken.
Moon Bell was a very sensible and capable child.
The villagers also liked her very much.
But she deserved better.
“It’s been hard on you, but I think you’re very proficient in English. There’s no need for you to come to class often. Just be busy during this period.”
“My level is high because you taught me well, Teacher.”
Moon Bell smiled, her cheeks slightly flushed.
“Without your guidance, I would never have improved so quickly.”
“Alright, among so many students, you’re the easiest to teach. When you improve, you’ll naturally improve much faster than others.”
After saying this, Fang Ping patted Moon Bell’s shoulder comfortingly.
“You’re busy during this period of time, so just focus on your work. Don’t neglect your usual practice. Just make sure your standard doesn’t drop.”
“Yeah.”
Fang Ping faced the ball of light in front of him and said very seriously.
“Sooner or later, what I taught you will help you walk out of this mountain.”
“When you see the vast world outside, you’ll understand that this place is still too small. You can’t fully use your strength.”
“I look forward to that day.”
“Thank you for your teachings, Teacher. I will definitely not let you down!”
She did not expect her teacher to be so supportive of her.
The last bit of worry in Moon Bell’s heart disappeared.
‘Yes. Just as Teacher said.’
The Dark Elves would one day walk out of this Forsaken Land.
And walk towards the wider world outside!
And the Silardon Empire was only the first step to the outside world.
They also wanted to take down other Human countries!
It made all Humans tremble when they heard of the Dark Elves’ prestige!
