Suddenly I found so many such enthusiastic readers... I feel embarrassed not to be even more proud. Thanks to the rewards from my friends who are watching everywhere, looking for a ride on the road, and Mingjia 003.

"Then let's go back to the city as soon as possible." Ashu Rufat actually didn't want to go to a place with a large number of elves. His size was quite different from that of elves, and it could be said that it was very eye-catching. The elves around him, including Marines and Shadows, had never doubted his race at all. But this was because he fought with them and performed outstandingly. If he met a strange elves, his size would probably make the other party suspicious - although it might not be exposed, it was always a threat.

Their next action was decided. Although Ashurufate thought he could march quickly, Verino finally decided to move forward at a normal speed. However, the facts proved that Ashurufate's judgment did not encounter any enemies when they finally arrived at the city of Irebe.

Ireb is a real elves city. Compared to it, Dandok, which Ashurufate had seen before, seems a little unworthy. Although the nameless town of Shadow Warriors is also made by elves, it is too small to be compared with Ireb.

This is a stepped city, which seems to be built against the mountain, but it completely covers the entire mountain. The city wall is made of white stone, and the steps are smooth and clean. The towers in the city are towering and sturdy, and are covered with fountains. If it weren't for the war weapons standing on the walls, the guards patrolling back and forth could almost make a man think that he had come to a dreamland.

The appearance of their team immediately aroused the warning from the city. However, Verino was soon recognized, so the gate was quickly opened. Ashurufate noticed that the structure of their gate was quite complicated and there were obvious magic traces attached to it.

"Carrie, what kind of magic is in this door?" Asu Ruffat asked in his mind as he walked into the door.

"It's quite complicated to combine magic." Carrie commented. "What you want to say is actually to strengthen defense. However, Master, although this gate is not eyeing, it takes half a day for an ordinary city-breaking hammer to break through this gate. The elves seem to be good at extracting energy from the magic wind and attaching it to items... This is already valuable for this level of magic civilization."

Ashu Rufate knew very early on that Carrie had a high vision. He had heard people say that elves were very good at magic, and it seemed that this legend was very reliable.

As he entered the city with Verino and a group of people, Ashu Rufate was not suspicious of any identity - that is, race. Although it is a bit amazing to say that an elf who "returned from the human world" is a bit amazing, the relevant officials accepted the explanation. He was taken to a neat and beautiful room (Ahu Rufate probably is the place to entertain foreign guests in the city) and it is particularly gratifying that his luggage he had previously left on the Moon String was also quickly sent over. The Moon String had already returned to the city one step ahead of them.

The luggage itself is nothing, it is just some dry food, clothes, fragmented coins, etc., but there is a harp left by Thomas. Ashu Rufate didn't want to bring this harp out, but Carrie believes that since the legend of "Wings of Silver" was written by an elf craftsman, bringing it will help to better impersonate an elf.

Asu Ruffatt checked his luggage slightly. Rather than saying that it was a necessary action, it was just a habit. He just wanted to see if someone had searched for the luggage or lost something, but unexpectedly found something.

"A letter, master." Carrie said in his mind.

"I know it's a letter...but how did this thing come to my duffel bag?" Ashu Rufate looked through the envelope, but there was no signature on it, and the envelope was bulging, as if there was a lot of paper mixed in it. "Is it a certain elf?" He instinctively thought of the worst question, and a certain elf had already discovered his true face unconsciously.

"No matter what, open it first." Carrie said.

Ashu Rufat carefully opened the letter and pulled out a piece of velvet from it - he immediately recognized what it was. This was the inheritance left to him by Thomas, a private certificate of deposit from the chamber of commerce. Thomas gave him four copies at the time, but never converted it into money, but regarded it as an item to entrust his precious memories. But this exception was that he had already given the certificate of deposit to Chris a long time ago.

There was another piece of paper in the envelope, which was ordinary paper, and that was the letter Chris wrote to him.

The content in the letter is very simple, it is nothing more than saying that the gift was too expensive at the beginning and she could not accept it, so she had to return it to him.

"Master, it seems that our Captain Chris is quite smart." Carrie commented in her mind. "I guess she may have noticed your true identity."

"Aware of it? It's inevitable in that situation." Ashu Rufate replied. At that time, he was seen by Chris in armor, and it was not the transformed armor, but the true appearance of the red-blood armor. If that pair of armor was seen by ordinary people... for some reason, it reminded him of another girl... It's a pity that the deceased was gone.

"Fortunately, now it doesn't matter if you are seen through your true identity." Carrie said. "We already have a safe base, a land ruled by you... You are the supreme ruler and don't worry about any pursuit."

"Forget it, I believe she won't harm me." Ashu Rufate replied. He carefully put the certificate of deposit and turned Chris's credit magic into a wisp of blue smoke.

"It should be said that you believe now that even if she wants to harm you, there is nothing she can do." Carrie smiled.

Ashu Rufate checked the other things. However, it seemed that there was no other problem with his luggage except the letter that Chris secretly put in. Ashu Rufate took out the harp from it - originally he planned to use music to better pretend to be an elf, and it seemed that there was no need for this.

Someone knocked on the door at this time.

"The door is not locked." Ashu Rufate called out, so the visitor outside the door pushed the door open and came in.

"Sorry, Ashu Rufate." It was Verino who came in. "It seems they arranged you well."

"How is the situation?" Ashu Rufate did not exchange greetings, but went straight to the topic.

"I'm afraid...it's probably the worst." There was a strong anxiety and depression in Verino's voice. "Although the specific situation... there might be a glimmer of hope. But our evil cousins ​​are indeed likely to have raided the prince's team. They are now building camps in a place half a day away from the city..."

Although he said "there is still a glimmer of hope", there is no need for anything else. Just Vilino's expression and tone of speaking at this moment, probably no one would have seen this "the glimmer of hope".

"Judging from the size of the camp, the dark elves have about three to four thousand. And our scouts saw more than one multi-headed dragon. In addition, they also had a whole team of cold beast cavalry."

One thousand vs. three thousand, but with the help of the city wall, this battle is actually not difficult. Ashrufate has commanded more than once the city defense battle and siege battle, so he is well aware of the advantages of the city defense side. With complete city defense fortifications, he can also get support from civilians across the city. Even if further mobilization is not considered, relying on existing troops, the elves are very sure to win this defensive battle.

If you change your position, Ashu Rufate estimated that he would need about 5,000 to 7,000 troops, and it would take about two months to prepare various siege machinery to capture the city with confidence.

Besides, the situation in the city seemed much better than Verinor was worried. At least until now, Ashurufate entered the city, he had not found any large-scale chaos and panic in the city. Everything in the city was orderly - at least the city defense forces were like this.

"I'm here just right." Verino replied. "This afternoon, important officials in the city and officers from the army will gather together to discuss how to face this situation. The enemy may launch an attack at any time, and we must solve the command problem before that." He looked at Ashurufate. "It will be a result at night."

"Yeah." Ashu Rufate didn't know what he should say, so he just nodded. He was not sure what Verinno was doing to come to him. Mobilize him to join the city defense force? However, Ashu Rufate did not intend to join the army, because it meant that he had to be bound by military discipline and could not move freely.

If Verino had this plan, at least he did not reveal any of his words. After introducing the situation in the city, he stood up and said goodbye, making Ashu Rufate completely unable to see through his plan.

"What did he mean just now? Referring a new prince?" After Verino left, Ashu Rufate asked Carrie.

"Impossible! Master, the so-called 'prince' of the elves, but the same as humans, is the title of blood. It is impossible to turn an elves into a prince after a recommendation procedure. Unless this elves can prove his bloodline. I think what he means is to elect a commander to command city defense operations through a meeting. Master, if you can be elected as a commander, you may be able to directly be among the senior generals... There is great hope..."

"Impossible." Ashu Rufate interrupted Carrie rationally. "I am just a foreigner here, and I am still an unknown person. Although I participated in the battle, it was just a small-scale battle. No matter how outstanding I performed, it was a small battle. If I volunteered to join the city defense force now, such achievements would be enough to make me a lower-level officer. But it would be completely impossible to say that I would be elected as a commander for this. In addition, I remember that there are many princes in the elves... Didn't Cosbody say that there are even elite troops composed of princes among the elves? Even if Prince Berland and his sons were dead, it would not be difficult to find an elves with the title of "prince".

"It's not like that. Master, according to the books I read last time... If the above records are correct, there are probably no other 'princes' in the area of ​​Eriber. The elves do have 'Dragon Prince Cavalry', and each member is a prince. But on the one hand, it is an extremely elite force, and on the other hand, it is only a specific elves with a long history. Eriber seems to have a new city built to strengthen maritime power and trade with humans, and it does not belong to that category. Only Prince Berland and his sons can be called princes."

"Well, this is indeed more logical."
