"Go to find the Emerald Queen?" Carrie suddenly appeared in front of him. She was wearing an elf maid's costume, but she was still wearing his rabbit-eared hat on her head. "Master, but you are not a real elf. You are not an elf prince. If, as mentioned, Emerald Queen holds all the records of the elf blood inheritance, then you will not be able to get away with it."

"Well, if I can't get away with it, I plan to confess." Ashu Rufate replied.

It is already a serious crime for an ordinary elf to pretend to be a prince, and a vampire to pretend to be an elf, I am afraid that the Emerald Queen will directly order Ash Rufate to be killed - over the past period of time, Ash Rufate has further understood the conservatism of the elves.

It is no exaggeration to say that going to meet the Emerald Queen is a risk of her life.

"I've decided!" said Ashu Rufate. "Unless you can come up with a better way."

"But the elves are very conservative..."

"They are not fools either," Ash Rufate replied. "Do you remember when they supported me as a prince... At that time, many elves present noticed something was wrong, but did not say to stop it."

"This is because of the will and the fanaticism of the group..."

"No, I believe they have noticed the suspicion in me, but under that condition, rather than foolishly obeying the 'tradition' and causing failure, it is better to shut up for the time being and let me, the 'suspicious prince', achieve the role of uniting the people. They are not so conservative, at least, a considerable part of them is very rational and realistic."

"Do you think the Emerald Queen meets this requirement?"

"I don't know." Ashu Rufate simply denied. "But since she is one of the highest rulers of the Elf clan, she should be able to understand the value of my proposal."

"But there are many risks in it. Master, what are you sure to convince the Emerald Queen to trust you and be willing to hand over an army to your hands? Can you guarantee that you will definitely defeat the Dark Elves?"

"I have no confidence in anything," Ash Rufate replied. "But I know I have to do something... If I don't do anything... Mimilu has no hope!"

Before Carrie could answer, the door of the room was opened at this time. Dinaser walked into the room. Ashu Rufate now knew that the elf who called himself "the apprentice mage" was also from a noble family. It was their full efforts that led the other elves to believe that Ashu Rufate was a prince.

Of course, the main reason why Ash Rufate was able to become a prince was because Carrie said that the elves did need a prince at that time, so they tried hard to believe what they wanted to believe.

"Your Highness, Prince." Dinaser saluted with impeccable grace. "The Phoenix King has sent relevant orders." He glanced at Ash Rufate's expression. At least at this moment, the prince looked very calm and without any wavering. "He ordered you to strengthen the search for the remaining enemies to ensure that the remaining Truzi cannot cause any harm. I personally recommend that you hand over this task to the Shadow Warriors, who are very suitable for this. The remaining number of our evil cousins ​​should not exceed ten."

Ashrufati nodded, but said nothing. The task was expected. He waited for quite a while and found that Dinaser had no further information.

"Is there anything else?" Asu Rufate asked. Dinaser didn't seem to understand Asu Rufate's meaning for a moment, but his expression clearly stated that the above are all the orders of the Phoenix King.

"Well, although the shadow warrior is suitable, we have to consider that the remaining Truzis have almost all mounts." Ashu Rufat immediately came to his senses and realized that he had pretended to be a prince was not realized by the Phoenix King at all. Either the Phoenix King was too busy to take care of such trivial matters (in the concept of the elves, Eriber is an emerging city. Although it is of medium size and has great value in the navy, it is by no means an important place), or he had never considered the possibility of "fake prince". This is really incredible for the elves. "It is better to send some cavalry to assist them."

"Your Highness the Prince...the Knights of Silver Helmets are reluctant to fight with the Shadow Warriors."

"So I didn't force them to go, but solicit volunteers. After all, this task does not require too many people." Ash Rufate said. "If this happens, there should be no problem. I'll leave this to you."

"As you wish, Your Highness, Prince." Dinaser saluted again and then stepped down.

"These elves are handled very well," Carrie said in his mind. "Actually, I really want to use my 'management' skills, but it seems difficult to find an insertion point."

As the ruler of Syvania, Ashrufate strongly felt that he lacked suitable subordinates and had to deal with many things himself. In fact, even with Carrie's full assistance, he had to deal with all the trivial matters that wasted time and energy, and he still had to do something by himself. On the contrary, Eriber's side, the administrative officials under him managed everything in an orderly manner, and even when facing the threat of dark elves, everything was in control. Being an elf prince is much easier than being a human leader. No wonder the princes are all versatile and have so much spare time to spend on various arts such as poetry and music.

In the office where Ashu Rufate is currently in, a series of paintings drawn by his predecessor, Prince Berland, were all of which were of the standard of an art master.

"No wonder Prince Berland could take his sons down to the city to the front line to meet the Phoenix King," Ashrufate said in his mind. "Because even if he is not there, there is no problem in the city. As for the sudden invasion of the dark elves, it was a sudden accident beyond any plan."

Ashu Rufate thought for a while and called out. A servant came in.

"Call Verino." Now Asu Ruffat already knew that Verino was an important officer when he was under Prince Berland. Prince Berland entrusted almost all the defense work for humanity to Verino, and he did not disappoint the prince's expectations, and the guard and defense work was done quite perfectly. When Asu Ruffat and Verino first met, Verino had only one ship and fifty Marines. But in fact, Verino commanded six battleships, and a total of two hundred and eighty Marines obeyed him.

However, in the previous battle with the Dark Elves, these soldiers did not go to battle. They were all not in the city because they were responsible for naval patrol missions.

A short time later, Verino appeared in front of Ashu Rufate.

"Your Highness, what are your instructions?" Verino was not dressed in casual clothes, but was fully armored and looked like he was about to set off.

"Are you going to cruise?" Ashu Rufate asked.

"Yes, Your Highness. This is my duty." Verino replied.

"Vilino, I would say, our soldiers suffered a lot in the previous battle with our evil cousins," said Ashu Rufate. "Although we ended up winning, many soldiers were killed or injured. If the intelligence in our hands was reliable, then our evil cousins ​​could use their portal again in about a month. I think there is a great possibility that they will send the army to Eriblai again."

"I fully agree with you, Your Highness. I suggest you ask the Phoenix King for a reinforcement."

"No, if possible, I hope to be able to solve this problem myself." Ashu Rufate said. "I think that routine patrols against humans should be paused for a while, or the intensity should be reduced." Ashu Rufate said,

"Your Highness, please forgive me for offense. But although our evil cousins ​​are the main enemies, the threats from human beings cannot be ignored." Verino replied. "It is no secret that humans have tried to invade us many times."

Asu Ruffat remembered what he had heard Cosbody say, about an elf warship sinking many pirate ships. What Cosbody said was serious should not be a lie.

"Those are pirates," Ash Rufate replied. "The scope of pirates' influence is limited, and I think the two warships are enough to control the invasion from humans."

This is not a lie, because as Ashrufate currently knows, it is difficult for human navigation technology to truly pose a threat to elves. Elfs have been able to cross the vast ocean with boats, but humans are far from this level. Navigation is not a simple problem of ship-handling technology. How to fight storms, avoid reefs and turbulences, how to position yourself on the endless sea, how to find the right direction on the vast ocean, etc., these are all problems that must be solved, but are difficult to solve.

As Ashrufate now knows, there is actually only one narrow waterway between humans and the elves' kingdom. Beyond this safe waterway, you have to face complex reefs, chaotic currents, and unpredictable dangerous marine life. If all this is not bad enough, there is also a pirate fleet of dark elves - they usually dare not enter the elves' naval defense circle, but they often wander around the periphery, looking for room for defense.

Strictly speaking, pirates attacking elves on a boat is an act that is close to suicide. Even if they succeed, they cannot escape afterwards. The elves' warships are far faster than human ships, and it is easy to catch up with the escaped pirate ship. Therefore, only the most bold and stupid pirates will do this - and naturally, they have never been successful.

"Your Highness, I have to remind you...humans have dragons."

"Dragon?" Verinor's solemn expression made Ashu Rufate stunned.

"If it is a small fleet of humans, we do have only two warships. But with dragons, things are not that simple. As long as they want, their dragons can fly to our coast and launch attacks at any time. For example, the small town of Shadow Warriors is always under the threat of dragons. As long as the dragon flies into our control and moves down the ground, the magic we use to warn dragons will be invalid. There is great danger in this. This is why we have to sail to the cape every time we sail. In addition to Irebe, some other coastal territories are also under the threat of dragons, so the elf prince in each coastal area must invest enough strength to defend the sea."

He stopped and continued.

"Your Highness, you may not have stayed in coastal cities in the past... There is something you may not know very well. If human dragons invade, they have a great possibility to cross our cordon. In order to prevent such things, it is necessary to strengthen...the cruise at sea. We originally had nearly twenty warships to undertake this task, but because of our evil cousin, Prince Berland had to significantly reduce the relevant defense power."
