Chapter 318 Five Kills Shatter Fear! Evil needs evil to be dealt with! (Please Subscribe)

This operation was the most Lin Li could do without using the weapons of truth.

Using the weapon of truth is simple, but there are many troubles afterward, so it should be avoided as a last resort.

Lin Li's spacetime source matter consumption is too high right now. Even though the Spacetime Cube keeps giving him a lot of spacetime source matter as a rebate, Lin Li still needs some time to accumulate enough spacetime source matter.

However, this time Lin Li has seen his limits.

His disguised Space Marine clone is now considered an invincible individual on both sides.

By striking unexpectedly, one can already deal with elves and dwarves.

As for those god-like mechanical titans with explosive combat power, or the forbidden magic of the elves, those are beyond the capabilities of ordinary humans.

The enhancement of his body by using spacetime source matter has prevented Lin Li from being killed by random enemies when using any spacetime portal.

As Lin Li gradually adapts to the magical perception of this other world, he becomes a versatile individual.

If you encounter a mage unit, infiltrate and then assassinate them at close range.

If you encounter a warrior unit, simply use any attack method to destroy it.

After taking care of all that, Lin Li played with the little dragon for a while before heading back to the pioneer team's portal to tell them about his actions, so they wouldn't miss out on the good news!

Lin Li has left, but the shock he caused to the elves that night was unparalleled!

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for the high-ranking officials of the Elf Kingdom.

Lin Li carried out a total of five attacks.

These five attacks were like five resounding slaps to the face of the Elven Royal Court.

Quinn Callahan, who was entrusted with high hopes and was about to be sent to the northern front to carry out special infiltration operations three times in a row, was the first to be killed. Subsequently, two other commanders were cleanly and swiftly beheaded at their respective posts or en route to their posts.

When they were found, their heads had vanished. Some of the bodies were even laid out at the gates of their respective family mansions.

Secondly, the largest breeding base of the griffin force, a vital strategic resource for the kingdom, suffered a devastating blow.

The bombs from the unknown enemy precisely destroyed most of the experienced trainers' barracks, and the deadly poison left behind caused more than 70% of the lions to die in agonizing cries.

Those who survived received detailed treatment from the elves, but due to the aftereffects of poisoning, they were unable to take to the air for combat for a short period of time.

This is the air force that can be urgently mobilized near the capital. Griffins are extremely precious, and the elves don't raise many of them. Each one requires a great deal of manpower and resources, yet they were easily destroyed by the enemy.

If that mysterious enemy has any ideas, they could easily target their logistics units or key warehouses.

At that point, let alone sending troops to fight against humans, the elves won't even be able to march or maintain morale.

You must understand that logistics is the foundation of a soldier's confidence. Without logistical support, soldiers will definitely panic!

The mysterious person's actions clearly demonstrate their ulterior motives.

In addition, a branch of the Mother Goddess Temple outside the capital was also razed to the ground by a terrifying magical bomb during evening prayers.

More than a dozen fanatical war-mongering priests who advocated launching a war of extermination against humanity were blown to pieces on the spot.

Five consecutive attacks, each aimed at the elves' pro-war faction, and each strike hitting their vital arteries.

If the enemy attacks the Elf's temple repeatedly, especially the Sacred Tree network, specifically targeting and destroying nodes, the Elf will be completely overwhelmed.

By the way, the attackers even brazenly left a large number of leaflets written in Elvish on the ruins.

The Mother Goddess has been severely injured by the Evil God and has fallen into a deep sleep! All divine pronouncements are lies!

[Beware! Royal nobles and temple priests are using the name of the Mother Goddess to enslave their own people!]

Overthrow the corrupt rule and save our kingdom! Let freedom and ancient glory return to the Elf Kingdom!

]

Let us work together to overthrow the tyranny of the elven nobles, protect the elven kingdom, and guide it back to the right path.

In the Elven Royal Court, the atmosphere in the council chamber was so oppressive it seemed frozen, with heavy breathing echoing in the air.

The eyes of the high-ranking elves who remained there were filled with fear and unease.

The elven high priestess stared at the leaflet in her hand with an icy expression. The thin paper trembled slightly at her fingertips, and every word on it was like a sharp knife, piercing the nerves of the elven high command.

The elven clan chiefs and elders sitting behind her also had ashen faces, with unbelievable unease hidden deep in their eyes.

Beside him stood the elven sheriff, a middle-aged elf clad in silver armor with a stern face, whose complexion looked as if he had just been pulled out of a swamp.

He was reporting the situation in a low voice, his tone filled with a deep sense of helplessness: "We've searched every possible place, but the enemy seems to have vanished into thin air; we can't find a trace of them at all."

"Was the tracking magic used?" The high priest's voice was soft, tinged with resentment.

"It's been used, High Priest!" The sheriff immediately bowed, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. "After the first attack, the magical sensing instruments in our temple immediately detected extremely faint spatial magic fluctuations. Considering that humans had previously destroyed the dwarven fortress, we activated the locking program immediately! But—spatial magic fluctuations are almost impossible to lock onto; they're like a wisp of smoke, dissipating the moment you try to grasp them."

He paused, a bitter tinge in his voice: "Their civilization is very strong; they have ultimately mastered the ability to use teleportation magic on the Forsaken Continent. Even the continent's most powerful races cannot possess such a method. They are this powerful; we need to consider—"

Upon hearing this, the high priest slowly closed his eyes, the veins on his forehead throbbing slightly.

She didn't criticize the sheriff's incompetence too much, because she knew better than anyone what terrifying power it represented to be able to use spatial magic on the God-Forsaken Continent.

That's not just powerful, but an anomaly that exceeds the scope of existing understanding.

It is important to know that there are many races on the Sacred Star, but due to the seals of the ancient gods and other races on the God-Forsaken Continent, very few people have mastered that elusive spacetime magic.

The elves had initially suspected that the spacetime restrictions here had failed, but after testing some magic, they confirmed that the other party had mastered this ability.

That's terrifying!

The opponent may possess power greater than that of other races on the Holy Star.

Of course, it's also possible that the enemy just happened to crack the technology.

Regardless, it was a terrifying thing for the elves.

This is because it represents uncertainty, meaning that if the elf encounters an enemy attack, the elf will be completely passive.

The elves who were released earlier, and some of the surviving elves, witnessed the release of the weapons of truth by humans, who possessed a large number of things that instilled fear in the elves.

If the two armies clash, and the elves go head-to-head with the humans, they will definitely be beaten bloody.

The enemy is still elusive!

If the opponent unleashes a high-powered weapon, it will be even harder to withstand.

We simply can't beat them!

Seeing the high priest fall silent, the expressions of everyone present turned grim.

A moment later, the elven high priest reopened his eyes, his gaze sharp as a knife: "How many traitors do you think were involved in this operation?"

The sheriff jerked his head up, his face filled with shock: "High Priest?! This—this is impossible! We elves can use mind magic to conduct rigorous mind tests on all our people! No one can escape the Mother Goddess's perception!"

"Better safe than sorry!" The high priest's gaze swept over every high-ranking member present, his tone deep and cold. "We must conduct a thorough investigation of all our elven kin who have been sent out, especially those who have had contact with humans, as well as the networks of connections behind them."

"To fight external threats, we must first secure internal stability. I need to ensure absolute stability within our tribe. This is to prevent the enemy from breaching our internal magical defenses and then carrying out beheadings and captures!"

"Gentlemen, you have seen the threat behind this leaflet; its inflammatory nature far exceeds your imagination! It is not only attacking the royal court and the temple, but also attempting to divide our entire people!"

"Of course, the fact that these flyers only appeared in the areas where the other side was attacking indicates that they don't want to completely sever ties yet!"

If Lin Li heard this, he would probably laugh his head off.

It wasn't that Lin Li didn't want to hand out the flyers to all the elves, but rather that he simply didn't have the ability to do so on his own!

Those printed flyers used up so many boxes of paper in the printer.

Ultimately, a person's strength and energy are too limited.

"Yes, sir!" The sheriff immediately accepted the order, but his heart was filled with turmoil.

The high priest's talk of a large-scale mental screening was an unprecedentedly ruthless tactic.

Sometimes, it can even cause significant damage to the Pokémon's brain.

This is something that is enough to shake the entire upper echelons of the capital.

"As for that mysterious person, investigate him thoroughly! Investigate him carefully!"

The high priest's voice carried a hint of helplessness.

"Whether we find it or not, we must show our people that the one who tried to disrupt our harmony and well-being is not so powerful as to inspire despair. It is a living being, and if we deal with it properly, we can destroy it!"

"Yes, even if he can use spatial magic, he'll eventually slip up!"

"Yes, since he didn't choose to confront us head-on, it means the opponent isn't invincible!"

"Yes, our previous survivors told us that the enemy is strong, but not to the point of being comparable to a god; they're just some kind of powerful being. With sufficient preparation, we can definitely kill them!"

"Yes, but what we should be worried about is not his individual attack, but the attacks from the forces behind him!"

The elves present fell silent once again.

If the other side can pull off one attack, they can do it a second, a third, or even a fourth.

The other party could be an individual, or it could be an entire force!

We must be careful!

The aged high priest gripped the leaflet tightly in his hand, his knuckles turning white.

"Let's do it anyway!"

An unknown enemy is more terrifying than a known, powerful one.

The elf must demonstrate confidence in controlling everything.

This is not only to appease the public, but also to rebuild the precarious confidence of the top leaders.

"Alright!" the sheriff replied again, a sense of determination rising within him.

At this moment, a guard cautiously spoke, breaking the brief silence: "High Priest, our negotiations with the humans—"

The high priestess's gaze deepened. After a moment of contemplation, she finally spoke slowly, "The conditions they have proposed are comparable to the demands of a demonic dragon, but some of their suggestions are not entirely without room for negotiation."

"The High Priest is right. We can no longer be as tough as we were before in this situation."

"Yes, we should let Ethan on the front lines communicate with them more. Delaying time and figuring out their needs is also a strategy."

"good!"

After the various decision analyses were completed, everyone dispersed.

But every elf knew that this attack had completely changed the elven kingdom's view of those humans.

That mysterious person was very strong, and his giant form reminded the elves of something that had been lost to the dust of history.

Although the other party was alone, he was like a boulder thrown into a lake, stirring up huge waves.

The Elf Kingdom is at the very center of this whirlpool, caught in a dilemma.

They were terrified, not knowing where or how the next wave of attacks would come from!

Another world, a time portal, an information processing center.

Inside the huge circular conference room, electronic projections displayed information, with large amounts of organized data presented separately.

On the main screen in the center, a video was playing repeatedly, sourced from the miniature surveillance equipment that Lin Li had left in the Elf Capital.

On the screen, an elegant elf messenger is communicating with a burly dwarf!

Although the voice was inaudible, anyone could clearly see the arrogant yet anxious look on his face.

The dwarf opposite him, however, was simply holding the Three-Eyed Firebearer, looking impatient. In the end, he simply turned and left, leaving the elf with only his thick back view.

"President Su, the video footage of the contact between the elven envoys and the Mithril Clan dwarves has been fully confirmed," a technician reported. "Some elves are seeking peace, but many are eager for war! This group of elves wants to drag the dwarves into their scheme!"

"I don't know whether to call these elves naive or stupid?" A combat strategist leaned back in his chair, arms crossed. "That mysterious Gazul even helped the dwarves solve the Corruptor problem with us, and they want the dwarves to turn around and bite us? Are they out of their minds!"

"As expected." Another intelligence analyst adjusted his glasses. "In their eyes, we are the biggest threat. However, they have clearly overestimated their own pride and underestimated the dwarves' memory."

According to recently compiled intelligence and information provided by Lin Li, after the humans conquered the two fortresses, the dwarves carried out a bloody and brutal purge.

The dwarven god Gazul reappeared in the capital and informed the various tribes of the alliance with humanity and the purge of the corrupt within their ranks.

It was also the appearance of Gazul that led to a rapid consensus among the scattered forces of the dwarves!

With the corrupters of the Mithril clan eradicated, the dwarven gods providing protection, and the warning of the impending annihilation, the dwarves are more united than ever before.

Having just experienced bloodshed, coupled with Gaizul's conservatism and opinions, making cooperation with the elves an incredibly difficult task.

Su Mingjin took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Since the dwarves are not a problem and the elves' hostility is clear, let's discuss the next step."

"Beat them!" a hawkish officer sneered. "If we don't discipline these brats, they won't know the fear of the law! If we don't teach the elves a lesson, they won't know the pain of the whip! What are we waiting for? To wait for them to prepare their new magic? In this other world, might makes right! Let's beat them first, then we'll talk about everything else!"

"I object," a clerical worker wearing gold-rimmed glasses immediately retorted. "After all, the other side hasn't committed any substantial attack. If we take the initiative, it will easily give them ammunition to criticize us. Moreover, it's detrimental to subsequent procedures and formal justice! If we keep doing this, are we dragon slayers or people about to evolve into dragons?"

The meeting room fell silent for a while!

"A dragon? No, we won't become dragons! As for pretexts?" The hawkish officer sneered, "They've already sent people to turn our allies against us, clearly intending to attack us. Doesn't that count as an attack? Do we have to wait until a knife is at our throats to count? Zhou, your Earthly rules don't work here! This is another world!"

"That's right, Mr. Su, I agree to act immediately!" Another analyst stood up. "There's a saying among the dwarves that the elves are obsessed with ethereal magical prophecies. I suspect our actions, and our expansionist behavior, are confirming their prophecy of destruction and annexation!"

Isn't this just a process of foreseeing one's own death, then recklessly courting death in an attempt to survive, only to ultimately die?

"Since he's so determined to be our enemy, why not let him become a new race in our other world? After all, there are plenty of oppressed people among the elves! You should have seen the data the dwarves provided, right?"

"I see. Some elves don't even have the right to reproduce. Apart from the children of nobles, other commoners are sterilized shortly after birth!"

"Heh heh, they call it limiting the population and preventing it from being corrupted by evil! But they're probably just trying to control the population of their tribe, aren't they?"

'

"A race ruled by magical prophecies and fear—keeping them alive will only bring us trouble!"

"Go ahead, Mr. Su! Once we've dealt with the elves, we can focus solely on the celestial convergence disaster for a long time to come!"

"That's right!"

Inside the meeting room, the voices advocating for war drowned out everything else.

After listening quietly, President Su's gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on the almost silent Brigade Commander Man.

Commander Man coughed heavily.

The hawkish officers, their excitement and murderous intent still lingering, instinctively shut their mouths and turned their gazes toward the operations leader of the otherworldly exploration team.

"Gentlemen, I know you are all eager for battle." Brigade Commander Man looked around, his voice hoarse but powerful. "But, you haven't forgotten what that friend said, have you?"

A mysterious person.

These three words seemed to possess a certain magic, instantly changing the atmosphere of the conference room.

The officer who had previously been shouting "might makes right" simply touched his nose and remained silent.

They got so excited just now that they forgot about it!

President Su glanced at the tactical watch on his wrist; the cold, digital numbers were clearly displaying.

"That friend promised to give us a lead within 24 hours. Eight hours and sixteen minutes have passed since they left." She raised her head, her gaze calm and profound. "The orders to fight the enemy remain unchanged, but all units are to enter combat readiness. Keep the soldiers in a fighting posture at all times."

"Waiting for information from that friend."

Waiting time is always particularly agonizing.

In the operations room, the people had to find something to kill time, or do things like wargaming.

In less than three hours, a messenger brought news.

"Report! The mysterious man has appeared, and he has brought the vanished demonic dragon with him."

General Su and Brigade Commander Man exchanged a glance, immediately stood up, and Zhu Yungui, the logistics procurement officer, and several core staff officers quickly walked out.

As soon as I stepped out of the information processing center, a gust of cold wind hit me.

There stood a towering, three-meter-tall giant, quietly in the center of the open space, like an ancient, unchanging mountain.

The little dragon that had just been circling around him now let out a joyful cry and flapped its wings to fly towards its exclusive breeding area in the distance.

"Mysterious friend, you've arrived. Would you like to come inside for a drink?" President Su greeted him proactively, his tone calm and composed.

"Hmm, no need for that!"

Lin Li, now a Space Marine, responded in a deep voice, without uttering any further words.

He casually tossed a heavy burlap sack, stained with dark blood, onto the ground.

"Thump!"

The bag hit the ground with a dull thud.

The pupils of General Su and Brigade Commander Man, among others, contracted slightly at that moment.

A bold guard stepped forward and, after receiving a signal from General Su, tremblingly untied the rope at the top of the bag.

The bag was pulled open.

Three exquisite humanoid heads rolled out of it, their pale faces still frozen with the shock and resentment of their deaths. Their pointed elf ears and blood-stained green hair were particularly glaring under the light.

A strong, pungent smell of blood instantly filled the air.

The young civilian staff officers following behind turned pale instantly, and some even covered their mouths, feeling a wave of nausea.

Even Su Mingjin felt nauseous at this moment.

"This—" Zhu Yungui gasped.

Commander Man squatted down and fiddled with one of the heads, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his cloudy eyes.

"Are these the main war faction of the elves?"

"Yes, the elite of the Elven Royal Court: one skilled in jungle harassment warfare, another a master elven assassin leading the team, and the third an elven high priest in charge of sacrificial magic," Lin Li said calmly. "They are the first batch of elven combat commanders! They're all here now!"

"You...you've completely destroyed their command system?"

"Just a few elven noble scum who exploit the lower classes and commit all sorts of evil deeds," Lin Li replied without any emotion.

He threw out another box, which was full of various types of storage devices.

"This contains a lot of information about the Elf Kingdom, including detailed coordinates. It can help you better understand the elves!"

"Thank you, my mysterious friend!"

"No need to thank me. The elves face immense pressure to survive, making it difficult for them to trust outsiders," the giant Lin Li had transformed into said casually. "I know many of you probably want to promote peace, but their rulers are afraid of power but not of kindness. The more benevolent you appear, the more they perceive you as weak and easily bullied, and the more calculating they become."

"Sometimes, too much kindness can only make them feel uneasy and fearful."

He extended his steel-encased fingers and tapped the three heads on the ground.

"If necessary, I recommend that you be more assertive. That way, they will actually sit down at the negotiating table and surprise you."

After saying that, Lin Li didn't linger. Before leaving, he thought for a moment and added, "Friends, in the near future, the Alliance will need to deal with some high-dimensional threats to prevent them from descending upon this world."

"I'm leaving this place to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, his enormous body vanished without a trace in the blue light.

On the open ground, only the three unseeing heads remained, along with a group of high-ranking members of the pioneering team who were utterly shocked.

After a long while, President Su slowly exhaled a breath of stale air. She glanced at the elf's head on the ground, and then at Commander Man, whose face was full of solemnity.

"Commander Man, the plan needs to be revised. Have the negotiation experts send these documents to the front-line negotiation area!"

"good!"
