Heart of Empire Chapter 52: Elf Refugee

When the undead appeared frequently, she submitted relevant reports to her superiors many times, but the replies she received always only asked her to wipe out the small group of undead in the forest. The suspicious Pale Mage Tower said nothing. Even, after she made reports many times with perseverance, she was severely reprimanded.

However, despite all this, Patience did not want to give up. She always had doubts about the Pale Mage Tower, so on a certain day, she ignored the ban of the Elf King Nancy and sneaked into the territory of the Pale Mage Tower with two loyal ranger teams, intending to check it out.

I have to say that Patience's intuition is quite correct. When she disregarded the prohibition and entered the forbidden area, she did discover the reason for the appearance of the undead—the notorious Church of the Damned!

The Church of the Damned is a notoriously evil organization. Although it bears the name of the church, the Church of the Damned is not a religious organization. Almost 90% of its members are mages, and 90% of the mages are mages of the Necromancer faction. Their beliefs are different, most of them are unbelievers, and a small number of them are believers of evil gods.

These necromancers gathered together, under the leadership of the ancient legendary Lich Laisu, they worked hard to create a land necromancer. In history, they have made waves in the mainland many times, and even had the experience of truly establishing the kingdom of the dead. Of course, the final result is mostly suppressed by the justice camp. For any living being, the undead are always sworn enemies.

But although the Church of the Damned has experienced countless failures, this organization of necromancers has never been truly destroyed. Even, as the leader of the church, the cunning legendary lich Laisu has never been defeated before.

As a ranger general, Patience had certainly heard of the Church of the Damned during her three hundred years of life. Even, when she was more than a hundred years old and just an ordinary soldier in the ranger army of the Nancy Elf Kingdom, she once fought against the undead army of the Church of the Damned in the Duchy of Severon, which had been wiped out in the middle of the mainland. a battle. Back then, the Allied Forces of the Four Nations in the southern part of the human race, as well as many churches joined forces, and even the elves sent reinforcements to completely wipe out those undead and kill a large number of necromancers.

Unexpectedly, two hundred years later, these guys would revive again, and their target was directed at Nancy's Royal Court in the Central Mountain Range.

In the sea of ​​undead, which was large enough to completely submerge her and her subordinates, Patience escaped from the forbidden area by relying on her excellent skills. Although the loss was heavy, at least she survived and brought the news of the cursed church back to the kingdom of elves.

But what greeted her was not a reward, but an order to suspend her duties.

Patience was very angry about the punishment of suspension. She never imagined that the important information exchanged for the death of dozens of elf rangers would be so completely ignored by the upper echelon, and they would even be punished for the ridiculous reason of "stepping into the restricted area without authorization, violating the royal court's law". But when she calmed down, it was not hard to imagine that the upper echelon of Nancy's elf kingdom would have known that the Pale Mage Tower belonged to the Church of the Cursed, and even the elf king's court might have been with these necromancers a long time ago. What dirty py deals are there between.

Patience wanted to know what the reason was, but her boss, the legendary Ranger Lord, didn't tell her the reason. This point is especially incomprehensible. The hatred between elves and necromancers has a long history. Recently, when the Church of the Cursed made troubles on the mainland, the royal court of Nancy also accepted the invitation of the four southern countries and sent reinforcements. This is only two hundred years (two hundred years is not too long for elves), and the elf king will be able to get along with the Church of the Damned?

Even if the Elf King was bewitched or influenced by spells, wouldn't anyone in the Royal Court Council stop the king? Even if the royal council failed to stop the king, the druid church and Hilo's temple, which have great influence in the elf kingdom, should have reacted, right? But still no.

During the few years when she was just suspended, Patience tried many times to make some noise, but almost all of them ended in failure. She even lived a life of imprisonment. During those days of imprisonment, she unexpectedly discovered that there were not a few people like herself, such as one of her friends, Cecilia, the high priest of the temple.

The two used to be friends, but now they share weal and woe in the water prison, and they were both imprisoned for cursing the mage tower, so they cherish each other even more.

So, the lucky two, with the help of some friends in the elven society, led some people to escape from the elven water prison successfully. They originally wanted to expose the cursed church to the entire elf kingdom, but they were suppressed first, and had to take some like-minded elves on the road to escape.

After three months~IndoMTL.com~The elves who fled with them, some of them died at the hands of the royal court's pursuers, and some got separated due to various reasons. Caught it back. The original large team of more than 400 people, now, only half of it is left. If they hadn't contacted an elf merchant who sailed between Florence and Sand Sea Harbor all year round, I'm afraid none of them would have escaped.

To be honest, Wang Ting didn't really make up his mind to kill them all. The reason is very simple. A ranger general, a high-ranking priest, and more than 400 elves, among which there are very few warriors, what is it to an entire country? If the Elf King's Court really valued their escape so much, they would not even be able to get out of the Central Mountain Range, let alone go all the way south from the Dark Forest, leave the Central Mountain Range, and then walk across the entire mountain range from north to south after several months. Florence, embarked on a ship.

But even so, they are now at the end of the road. After leaving the Port of Tarens in Florence, they only resupplied once at the Sandy Bay Port, and they have been floating at sea other than that. No one is willing to accept them, whether it is the Principality of Florence or Pudry in the west, these human countries have no intention of accepting an elf tribe. As for Schindler going to the east, it would be even more nonsense. The relationship between elves and orcs is not very good, and the main race of Schindler is half-orcs, accounting for 60% of the total population.

They were floating on the sea, but they couldn't find a place to stay.
