Chapter 697: Chapter 369: Rebel Army

After dealing with the sea monsters, the elven battleship took a break on the spot before gradually approaching the investigation team.

Adventurers on the deck seemed to recognize the main elven ship’s flag.

Li Changhe heard their whispers.

"That’s the leader of the elven navy, Moria."

"A hero, the disciple of the great elven sage Rorodoa."

"Even an elf of his position is involved. Seems like the problems within the elven community are quite serious."

A disciple of the Great Sage? Li Changhe’s heart was moved, and he recalled Xiao Ye mentioning that the Great Sage’s position in the elven community was equivalent to a leader.

As the leader of the elven navy and a disciple of the Great Sage, maybe he could provide some answers about the cause of the internal conflict.

However, before that, they had to understand Moria’s attitude towards Xiao Ye.

If they were optimistic, this elven navy could become an ally.

They would also provide help to the players and Xiao Ye in the following days.

In that case, they would only need to be cautious about those inexplicable sea monsters and the opposing elven faction in the internal conflict.

If they were pessimistic and the Great Sage and Moria had malice towards Xiao Ye, then there would be nothing to discuss.

Li Changhe extended his finger and flicked the Hundred Generals’ Saber.

On the other side, on the elven battleship, stood a beautiful elf at the bow who could not be distinguished by gender.

This was Moria, the leader of the elven navy.

With long, dark brown hair, an upright posture, and a long sword on his back.

If he appeared in the Real World, this kind of attractiveness would probably gather countless fans. Unlike the delicate-looking young men, he was also very capable in combat.

After all, as a disciple of the Great Sage, Moria was considered the first in both power and martial prowess under the Great Sage.

As the leader of the world’s strongest navy, his aura was undoubtedly strong.

Even though the investigation team was still hundreds of meters away, the adventurers could feel his oppressive presence.

Moria’s gaze swept across the investigation team’s fleet, and even though the distance was considerable, as an elf, he could still see the adventurers on the deck.

"Human adventurers, huh? Heh." Suppressing the disgust in his heart, Moria ordered a nearby subordinate: "Mo Zhu, you take the ship and patrol the perimeter, don’t let those traitors disturb us. The Divine Tree branch has already responded, our mysterious companion should be within this fleet."

"Please be careful, Lord Commander. Those traitors are everywhere." An elf’s response came from a nearby battleship, the voice clear and with a hint of laughter: "Don’t underestimate those humans, there are players among them."

Moria chuckled lightly: "Human players... Fine then. After all, they have protected our people, I’ll show them some respect."

There were also players among the elves, although very rare, but enough for the elves to understand the Evolution Game.

The elves did not appreciate the existence of players. The main reason was the scarce elven population. Most elves did not even want to leave the elven island, let alone become players who constantly faced danger.

And at one point, elven players failed in their Task attempts, resulting in the deaths of a large number of elven players.

This even threatened other elves and the Divine Tree, and it was the Great Sage who suppressed the uprising.

After that incident, most elven players left their homeland, fearing to harm their families, disappearing without a trace. They didn’t even appear in the current internal conflict.

"What a heartless bunch." Moria felt some resentment every time he thought of it. The current battle with the rebel forces was getting fiercer, and if the elven players had taken action, the pressure on Moria and the Great Sage would have been much less.

While thinking, Moria’s elven battleship was already approaching the investigation team’s fleet. As for the other two elven battleships, they were responsible for keeping watch over the surrounding sea areas.

Moria’s mission for this voyage was to find the last bloodline of the Guardian Tree Lineage and escort her safely back to their homeland. It was the only hope to save the Divine Tree. There could be no more mistakes.

Looking at those disgusting humans, Moria was displeased but decided to make contact with them anyway.

The elven battleship extended tendrils and branches to form a wooden bridge between the battleship and the Black Pearl. Moria and several elves walked across the bridge onto the deck of the Black Pearl.

Meanwhile, Sword Ghost and his teammates were already waiting on the deck.

The purpose of this investigation was to make contact with the elves, understand the events of the elven incident, and resolve the issue as much as possible. That’s why they had specifically invited Sword Ghost, who had a close relationship with the elves.

"It has been a long time, Commander Moria." Sword Ghost’s aged voice sounded. Facing the world’s number one navy commander, he showed no sign of being intimidated: "You haven’t changed a bit."

Moria frowned at Sword Ghost, and a few seconds later, he finally smiled, realizing what was going on.

"I see, it’s you, little human ghost...Should I call you old ghost now?" Moria approached Sword Ghost and said: "The scenes of us fighting side by side are still fresh in my memory, as if it was just yesterday. I didn’t expect...that the unrestrained you would become so old."

"After all, it has been thirty years already." Sword Ghost chuckled. He and Moria had once teamed up against enemies, facing a large number of opponents side by side. But time had changed, Sword Ghost had aged, and Moria remained as beautiful as ever.

"What a pity." Moria’s attitude had improved considerably, and he said somewhat wistfully, "Human lifespans are just too short."

"Hahaha, experiencing gradual aging is quite charming." Sword Ghost replied, then noticed that the other elves had boarded the Black Pearl and taken control of various positions.

With a flickering gaze, he asked: "Moria, what are you..."

"Don’t mind it, I just don’t want anyone to disturb us." Moria replied and then looked at the adventurers around him: "Is this your investigation team? There is no need for this. We will handle our own elven affairs internally."

Sword Ghost frowned but didn’t reply.

Moria continued: "As for why I’m here, it is to meet our fellow elf. She is in your investigation team, can you tell me where she is? From now on, I will be escorting her."

Sword Ghost’s frown deepened, and he pointed towards the direction of the cabin.

Moria nodded and headed to the cabin alone.

He didn’t know that after he boarded the Black Pearl,

On the other two elven battleships guarding in the distance, blood had already seeped through the decks.

One by one, the elves silently died.

Their faces were full of shock and anger.

They couldn’t believe that their own battleship and captain betrayed them!

Caught off guard, the elves were either pierced dead by branches or strangled by tendrils.

Some elves, however, silently watched with tears.

"Don’t blame us. Allowing Rorodoa’s plan to succeed would be a disaster for the elves." An elf whispered softly, praying for their dead comrades, then looked towards the direction of the investigation team.

"Everyone get ready, kill them all and don’t let any escape. We must not let the Guardian Tree’s representative come into contact with the Divine Tree!"
