Chapter 702: Invasion of Alfheim (2)

Feinting is a technical job. The Frost Giants cannot appear too weak, nor too strong.

If she appears too weak, the Queen of the Light Elves will not retreat to the palace. However, if she appears too strong, the Light Elves will directly ask Asgard for help.

As for why they didn't ask Asgard for help directly, there was a reason. Although the Asgardians claimed to be the guardians of the Nine Realms, they were not the kind of free fighters who stationed troops everywhere. On the contrary, they knew their limits.

Ordinary frictions will not attract the Asgardians, and they are not so idle as to meddle in everything. Generally, only a full-scale attack like the Frost Giants is worth their intervention, and they will only intervene if the invaders ask for help.

The Asgardians are not mercenaries like angels. They will not help anyone for the sake of pure profit. They value the peace of the Nine Realms more. Unless someone crosses Asgard's bottom line, they generally will not kill them all.

Even when it came to the angels who had killed the eldest daughter of the God-King Odin, Odin did not choose to massacre all of them to vent his anger. He simply expelled the entire Tenth Realm. From the results, it can be seen that after the angels were expelled, the Nine Realms became much calmer without these warmongers.

It is also for this reason that Asgard will not easily intervene in the war between the two countries. Only things that are heinous to both humans and gods, such as catastrophic disasters, will cause them to take direct action. Otherwise, most of the time they will wait for others to ask for help.

It is also because of these rules established out of respect for other countries that Malekith has room to operate. If the Asgardians were more domineering and stationed troops in other realms, then this plan would become nonsense and would never be realized.

But if that were the case, Asgard would become the greatest scourge of the Nine Realms.

Now Lao Fei carried out the feint attack mission very well. He first showed off his muscles, saying that he could destroy the elves' protective shield, but the speed of destruction was relatively slow.

This will put psychological pressure on the elves without pushing them too hard, and it is the first step in boiling the frog in warm water. The rest depends on Malekith himself.

After all, the focus of the plan is still on him. If he doesn't live up to his expectations, it will be useless even if Lao Fei stops the Asgardians.

But if Malekith succeeds, it means their plan can begin to be implemented.

...

Different from the bustling scene at the front, the main city of the light elves lacks a lot of people at this time. Although the light elves usually live in an atmosphere similar to that of a festival, they can actually be said to be a race where everyone is a soldier.

This is thanks to the treasure house of Alfheim, which is extremely suitable for the development of magic. The light elves living on this land naturally grew into a unique magical society.

Their lives are inseparable from magic. Everyone is a magician, and even some children have mastered a trick or two of magic.

Coupled with Alfheim's unique flora and fauna, the light elves have considerable combat effectiveness as long as they stand on this land.

But even so, it is impossible for children to go to the battlefield, so there is only a small team, a small number of adult light elves and a large number of children in the royal city now.

It can be said that the royal city today is really as Malekith expected, with sparse personnel and weak defenses. Everything is currently developing according to his plan.

The Elf Queen was not idle after returning to the royal city. In addition to frequently paying attention to the situation on the front line through communication magic, she also began to bring the children in the city to the castle. After all, it is better to be safe than sorry.

Although it was unlucky, it was always right to prepare for the worst. At the same time, the Elf Queen also took out something that could contact Asgard, a crystal clear crystal. As long as it was activated, it could send help to Asgard.

However, as soon as the Elf Queen took out the crystal, she saw a face on the crystal clear crystal. It was a face that definitely did not belong to Alfheim.

The color blue and the ominous black each account for half. It is obviously an elegant smile, but it makes people feel cold in their hearts.

Malekith, the king of the dark elves, is also a well-known madman in the Nine Realms.

The Elf Queen's pupils shrank, and she immediately realized that it was a reflection. She turned around suddenly and saw Malekith smiling at her.

The guards also reacted quickly. The moment Malekith appeared, the guards rushed over. In the blink of an eye, Malekith was surrounded and the queen was protected at the back.

"King of the Dark Elves, have you joined forces with the Frost Giants?" The Elf Queen questioned Malekith while preparing to activate the distress crystal.

The combination of the two kingdoms is something that Alfheim cannot resist, not to mention the combination of the Dark Elves and the Frost Giants. Calling for help is the best way at this time.

"Oh~ I advise you to be careful, my queen." Malekith did not answer the Elf Queen's question, but pulled a short figure out from some unknown space.

Golden hair, fair skin, and pointed ears, these together form the standard appearance of a light elf. Malekith is really holding a light elf child in his hand.

The Elf Queen paused. Malekith's threat was self-evident. This move caused a commotion among all the light elves. The child's threat to others was the most despicable means.

But Malekith didn't care. For him, no matter how despicable the means were, as long as they worked, he would use them. After all, he had crawled out of the stinking ditch.

He killed his teacher, his mother, and many other things that were outrageous to both humans and gods. He did this all for himself. He could do anything for himself.

"Can we talk now?"

Malekith asked knowingly. Putting aside the noble character of these light elves, even an ordinary king would not ignore the life and death of children in such a situation. The people's hearts are the foundation of a country. Any normal person would hesitate for a while.

Sure enough, facing the child's frightened expression, the Elf Queen's hand was unable to activate the crystal. After a while, she could only put her hand down obediently.

"Tell me, what do you want to discuss?" The Elf Queen suppressed her anger. "As long as you let the child go first, I can agree to anything."

Malekith placed his hand on the child's face and gently stroked it.

"That won't do, my queen. I'm a very timid person. If I let go of this little cutie, your angry soldiers will tear me to pieces. So..."

Malekith gave a disgusting smile and said, "Let's talk this way."
