Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree

Chapter 232: Chapter 226 The Strength of the Half-Beast

It’s interesting to note that the elves are on the surface, while the dark dwarves are underground. Yet, it’s the Elf Forest that remains more isolated in terms of information…

The actions of the half-beasts were actually communicated to the elves by the dark dwarves!

Thirty thousand troops!

Upon hearing this number, the expressions of the three elves sitting opposite the dark dwarves varied greatly.

The Death God Priest noticed that the female elf referred to as the Holy Daughter’s pupils shrank slightly. Her once delicate and fair face turned ashen. She seemed quite frightened.

On the right, the black-haired male elf also widened his eyes, showing some amazement. However, he didn’t seem afraid. Rather, there seemed to be a hint of curiosity and eagerness?

But… the most mysterious was still Divine Favored Zero, sitting in the main seat in the middle.

*Her expression remained unchanged, showing neither fear nor concern, nor excitement like the strange elf named Li Mu. She was utterly expressionless, as if hearing just a number…*

“Thirty thousand! They actually… mobilized thirty thousand at once!”

Alice’s voice trembled a bit.

As a race where everyone is a warrior and fiercely brave, the thirty thousand troops of the half-beasts were quite different from the “thirty thousand troops” of other intelligent races!

For example, in human warfare, they tended to exaggerate the army’s number, inflating ten thousand to thirty thousand, or thirty thousand to a hundred thousand, which was commonplace.

Moreover, many intelligent races didn’t have all combat soldiers in their armies during wars. The number of auxiliary and logistics personnel often exceeded those of soldiers who fought directly…

In an army of thirty thousand, only about ten thousand might actually be frontline combatants!

But… the half-beasts were different!

As a derivative race of beastmen, the half-beasts inherited the beastmen’s trait of everyone being a soldier. They resembled nomadic tribes from the Blue Star; during wars, their forces were entirely made up of soldiers capable of frontline combat!

Additionally, as a Black Iron race, these thirty thousand… meant at least thirty thousand Black Iron rank professionals!

A force of thirty thousand professionals at the Black Iron level might not have been significant a thousand years ago when the Segis World’s magic power was abundant, and experts were frequent…

But now, the magic level across the Segis World was low. Although the Black Iron rank wasn’t much affected, breaking through to silver and gold was much harder than a thousand years ago. Legendary beings were much fewer, and demigods… hadn’t been heard of for nearly a millennium.
