Chapter 1152: Elves and Gnomes (Part One)
[TL Note: This is a 2-in-1 chapter, so there are four parts.]
A lot of information was revealed through what Rosario had said.
First, Allianz was the Capital of Munich, a dominating lord of the Southern Region with a rich history. This empire was wealthy, so it should be more powerful compared to Ormond.
Second, Allianz which was to the southeast of Bali Island was only about a few hundred thousand kilometers away, and it was closer compared to Iduna of Ormond. Therefore, the alliance should encounter fewer goblins. Even if they couldn"t defeat the goblins, there were more escape paths.
Lastly, the healing abilities of holy power were the best among all types of magic energy. With the priests of the Holy Church in the troop, the soldiers" lives had one more level of guarantee.
Of course, most importantly, Rosario"s tone was threatening at the least.
Essentially, Rosario was forcing these various empires to pick a side. Any force that decided to go with the Northern Region Empire would soon face the punishment of the Holy Church. The Inter Milan Empire and the AC Milan Empire in the Central Region were the best examples.
Rosario"s threat was quite useful.
Before Rosario finished speaking, the commanders of the troops from more than 50 empires that were stationed on the south bank of Lancang River all said that they were willing to follow the Holy Church. They all wanted to head to the southeast to rescue the Munich Empire.
Even the commanders of the troops from five empires that were stationed on the north bank of Lancang River hesitated before lowing their heads and joining the Holy Church.
Now, out of close to 800,000 soldiers, more than 500,000 of them joined the side of the Holy Church.
Only less than 300,000 soldiers resisted the giant pressure and decided to side with the Northern Region Empire, willing to travel further away to Iduna of Ormond and face more danger.
After all, the Holy Church had dominated the continent for more than 1,000 years, and its influence couldn"t be overlooked.
"Hehehe, it seems like most people aren"t confident in the Northern Region Empire and Your Highness." Seeing that the momentum was on their side, Rosario started to mock with a fake smile. He thought that the Holy Church was still the No.1.
However, the Valkyrie stood in the troop of the Northern Region Empire and completely ignored what Rosario said, making the latter feel defeated.
Shaarawy laughed and replied, "Haha! Old Dog! You are saying that too early! To my knowledge, the Dwarf-Gnome Alliance and the Elf Empire all responded to the call and said that they are willing to help. There is still about half a day left until the 15-day limit is up. When they arrive, they might join us, the Northern Region Empire."
"Yeah! By then, I wonder if an old fart like you can still smile so disgustingly and brightly," Ca.s.sano mocked at the right time as well.
Rosario slightly paused for a second. Then, he looked at the sky and laughed, "You are two homeless dogs. I won"t waste my time and energy on you. Haha! The 15-day time limit is almost over, yet the elves, dwarfs, and gnomes are nowhere to be seen. Also, these forces didn"t officially respond. You are too childish to think that these races are going to help us humans."
Before Rosario could finish, a green lightning bolt suddenly struck down from the sky without warning.
Boom!
A bottomless crater that was about ten meters in diameter appeared on the ground, and the stone surface around the edges of the crater was as smooth as a mirror.

Instead of a catastrophe, it seemed like someone carefully carved and engraved this crater into the ground.
While everyone was surprised, a green plant sprout grew out of the deep crater like a playful child. As it swayed in the wind, it quickly grew bigger at a visible and shocking speed.
In just a few seconds, this sprout grew into a magical and giant tree. Hundreds of people were required to hug around the tree, and it soared into the sky with the dense green leaves touching the clouds.
This tree looked like a giant umbrella, and it covered an area with a radius of close to 500 meters. Everything about this tree seemed like a miracle.
When the wind blew by, the leaves fluttered and created a series of faint hissing sounds, seeming like chants from the prehistoric times and resonant elf battle songs.
Streaks of green mist fell from the branches and landed on the ground, forming many mystical green magic arrays.
Boom!
While the noises sounded, many powerful warriors of the Elf Clan walked out of these green arrays one after another. These warriors all had graceful figures, and they looked handsome with pointy ears. Natural green magic runes were all over their pale skin that was exposed, and they were wearing ancient green armor.
Elves!
Green elves!
These were the legendary warriors of the Elf Clan.
The Elf Clan really came to Bali Island! And their appearance was shocking!
These humans didn"t know what magic spell or mystical method this was. The Elf Clan set up teleportation arrays from afar and transferred many soldiers into the desired location. This must be the unique transportation method of the Elf Clan.
Rosario had just said that the elves wouldn"t show up, yet they appeared in the next second. This was a blatant face-slap!
The transportation ability of this giant green tree was stunning.
Within eight minutes, 6,000 powerful magic archers of the Elf Clan walked out of the portals and stood beside the ceremony altar.
The commander of these 6,000 magic archers was an elf priestess who looked to be 18 years old.
This elf was wearing a crown made of green branches. Upon closer inspection, these branches seemed more like metal. Mystical glares were flashing on this crown, and it contained shocking yet hidden magic power.
This female elf looked beautiful. Her eyes were pure and clear, but they contained glints of wisdom that could only be seen on sages who had been through a lot of tribulations. Her figure was slender and attractive, and she was wearing armor made from leaves and branches. Only her chest and privates were covered, and most of her body was exposed in the air. Her milk-colored skin was engulfed in beautiful green runes, making her look even more seductive and charming.
From the way that she was dressed, she seemed to be a powerful priestess from the Moon G.o.dly Palace of the Elf Clan.
This female elf was riding a terrifying beast-emperor-level white tiger. It was more than three meters tall, much bigger than an ordinary warhorse. However, even though this mount"s presence was shocking, it wasn"t murderous but holy.
This priestess was holding a branch-like wand, and her beautiful yet fragile look made others want to protect her.
"I"m White-Tiger Priestess Susanna of the Moon G.o.dly Palace, and I"m here to join the alliance with 6,000 level 6 elf archers!"
This priestess"s voice was crisp and pleasant like the chirping of a bird, making others feel comfortable.

"Oh, you are the masters of the Elf Empire. Welcome, welcome…"
Red-Robed Bishop Rosario seemed to have forgotten that he said that the elves wouldn"t come a moment ago, and he quickly walked up with a bright smile.
Everyone could tell how powerful that these 6,000 level 6 magic archers and the White-Tiger Priestess were.
Right now, Rosario naturally wanted to pull the elves to the side of the Holy Church.
If the Holy Church could establish a close relationship with the Elf Clan through this alliance and ended up being allies after this mission, then the Holy Church would have a dominating advantage in the Western Region. Wiping out the Madrid Empire would only be a matter of time.
Rosario quickly introduced himself and lowered his presence, trying to look as amiable as possible.
This man thought that by lowering his pride, he could strike a conversation with White-Tiger Priestess Susanna, but his pa.s.sion and warmth ran into complete coldness and rejection.
The White-Tiger Priestess didn"t even look at Rosario. Instead, she glanced around and slightly paused when she saw Elena. Then, she asked, "Which one of you is His Majesty? Human Emperor Alexander of the North?"
Rosario"s heart turned cold as he got a bad feeling.
Others all looked around in confusion, not understanding why this female elf asked this question.
"Could it be…"
"His Majesty didn"t come in person. It is Queen Elena Her Highness who is leading the troop of the Northern Region Empire on this expedition," Shaarawy responded calmly.
A trace of surprise appeared on the White-Tiger Priestess" face.
Then, Shaarawy quickly explained what had happened.
"Oh! You are Queen Elena! Your Highness, please pardon Susanna"s rudeness earlier." Sitting on the majestic white tiger, Priestess Susanna bowed at the Valkyrie and thought for a moment. Then, she said, "It is a pity that I can"t get to witness the presence of the Human Emperor of the North. Since humans decided to split into two, and the Northern Region Empire has fewer people, the troop of the Elf Clan will join your side. Also, we are both women, so we should get along better."
Susanna"s reasoning was upfront and honest, and others couldn"t say anything bad about it.
After saying that, this alluring White-Tiger Priestess didn"t wait for Rosario to say anything and directly led the 6,000 magic archers to stand with the troop of the Northern Region Empire.
Red-Robed Bishop Rosario froze on the spot, and his expression changed while looking embarra.s.sed. When looking at Susanna, hidden resentment and hatred flashed in his eyes. Clearly, his resentment included the entire Elf Clan.
"Ok, since this is the case, we can set off…"
Having shamed by two women consecutively, this red-robed bishop no longer wanted to stay on Bali Island and suggested that they should move out.
However, it seemed like the G.o.ds were joking with him today.
Boom! Boom!
Before Rosario could finish speaking, the entire Bali Island shook aggressively as if an earthquake was happening.
"What is going on?"
"Is there an earthquake?"
"Are we under attack?"
"Is the island going to sink?"
People got frantic, and energy flames burned as many masters flew into the sky.
At this moment, a giant rock that was more than 30 meters wide exploded beside the altar. Then, a black drill head that was spinning rapidly pierced through the soil and became bigger and bigger.

In the end, the base of the drill was already ten meters in diameter, and it "swam" out of the hard stones and soil like an agile fish in a shallow river.
"What is this monster?"
The human masters all became cautious, and the soldiers drew their weapons and got into formation.
After about two minutes, the drill head finally slowed down. It was connected to a giant "battleship" that was about 500 meters long, and it appeared in everyone"s vision.
This monster was covered in smooth black scales that moved slightly like ripples. It had no limbs and looked like a pangolin, and its streamlined body was graceful.
The only thing was that no warrior energy or magic energy could be sensed from it. That was why so many masters didn"t discover its existence earlier.
"This…" someone suddenly thought of something.
At this moment, streaks of silver light appeared on the belly of the monster, and a magic gate opened.
While everyone held onto their breaths and waited, a "small person" who was only about a meter tall walked out of the gate. This being looked just like a human. His figure was straight, and he looked handsome with his long blond hair. He wore a tight-fitting brown battle robe, a pair of pants, and a pair of leather boots, looking clean yet powerful.
"A goblin?" someone gasped.
In the legends, the goblins were small and controlled many magic machines and technologies, and they were able to get around mysteriously.
"Who the f*ck is a goblin? Hey, that guy whose son doesn"t have a b------e! Where are your eyes? You dared to call me a goblin? d.a.m.n it! I"m a handsome and cute gnome! Gnome! Got it? This is all concentrated essence! Daddy is made of essence!"
This handsome and cute "little person" instantly flipped out when he heard the word "goblin". As if someone poked his b.u.t.t with a stick, he jumped up and cursed.
"Gnome? Then… the last force, the Dwarf-Gnome Alliance, finally showed up as well?"
The human master who called out "goblin" was directly cursed by this gnome. His face and neck turned bright red, but he wasn"t in a position to counter. Indeed, he made a basic mistake. Although goblins and gnomes were all short, there were big differences between them. The most obvious difference was that gnomes were good-looking and well-dressed, and their skin looked just like that of humans. On the other hand, goblins were ugly, green-skinned, and stinky with sharp teeth.
"In the legends, aren"t all gnomes pa.s.sionate, polite, and gentle? How come this little guy with blond hair is cursing all the time?"
While the first gnome cursed, other short yet good-looking gnomes walked out of the magic gate. There were males and females, and they were dressed in a similar fashion. They were all in tight-fitting suits, and a packed small bag could be seen on each of their waists. Others didn"t know what was inside.
They each had two firearms on their backs, and they all wore berets, looking clean and sharp.
If Fei were here, he would feel like these gnomes copied the dress code of the Royal Guards of the Royal Family of England.
The second gnome who walked out was a beautiful female. Like a mini-elf, she had black ponytails, and her big eyes were as clear as a spring. She instantly jumped over and covered the first gnome"s mouth. Then, she explained to everyone with a red face, "I"m sorry. This brat is always with the dwarfs, and he picked up their bad habits. Please pardon him."
