Chapter 216: The Great Evacuation

"Total war is not within the elves' consideration for the time being. We hope to use a method with a smaller impact."

The shadow in front of the Elf High Priest gradually disappeared, the white world around her collapsed piece by piece, and then she woke up from the bed.

Some races have already started to actively participate. At least according to the Nightmare who came to negotiate, they have more than a dozen different races joining.

They believed that only by destroying the human race could the rising sun disappear.

This idea also makes sense.

Next, the conflict between humans and other races will inevitably become more intense. After feeling that their survival is threatened, they will become more and more devoted to the sect that is extremely hostile to foreigners, and the newly rising sun will accept more and more believers.

Until the beliefs of the vast majority of human beings are transformed, at that time, only the complete extinction of human beings can make the sun stop.

But the elves believe that there is still a chance to weaken the rising sun and make it disappear before the conflict becomes completely exaggerated and unmanageable.

"Are we still going there?"

Lisabel passed through the blockade of the Principality's troops, but then the sun rose.

The officers around her began to doubt their own purpose. They saw the monster attacking the village, which had just converted to a small church of the Sun God.

Under the attack of monsters, the village soon met its end.

After destroying the village, the monsters discovered Lysabel and her group. Although they did not attack after seeing the emblem of the God of Nature on their carriage, they disappeared into the night.

But this still caused some doubts among the resistance fighters.

After all, the elves are also a foreign race. Although they believe in the same god, the resistance fighters now don’t know how the elves view recent events.

It was possible that the resistance in the noble territories had been eliminated by the elves, and what was waiting for Lysabel now was a trap. It was also possible that the elves wanted the resistance to become enemies with other humans.

"Keep going. In this situation, we need to contact the elves even more."

Lysabel could feel the Goddess of Nature. Her voice was still vague, full of ambiguous murmurs, but Lysabel could feel that she was no longer hostile to humans.

Meanwhile, in the command room in the capital of the principality, Morari was asking his lieutenants to skip the elf-related news.

"Never mind the elves."

Morari is now faced with a messy situation.

The monsters' attacks at night caused the disappearance of hundreds of villages and the destruction of more than ten towns. Even for those towns that repelled the monsters, most of the villages around them were completely destroyed that night.

Without supplies from surrounding villages, the reserves in most town granaries would not last long, after all, food would not grow on its own from the market.

After the new sun appeared, the elves retreated back to their forests. The elves that were originally in the Sun God Church also disappeared. Now Moralich and Lemming could not get in touch with these elves.

But at least, that night, no human settlements were attacked by the elves.

Compared to the elves who at least have not shown any hostility yet, Moralich now needs to focus on the monsters that are rampaging at night. "Return the troops maintaining the blockade to assist in the evacuation. Abandon all territories in the border areas and evacuate the people in those territories."

The Principality had a large number of troops. The new nobles appointed by Lannia managed their territories fairly well, and the taxes they paid were soldiers. Thanks to them, the Principality had sufficient troops in the previous years to deal with the resistance within the country, guard the border, and guard the in program in the forest at the same time.

But even so, the number of troops in the principality was insufficient to defend every village and town, and it was necessary to retreat.

"But those territories are all the property of the nobles."

The territory of the principality has long been divided, and even the most remote areas have lords.

"Those who are unwilling to withdraw, let them die. At this time, I don't have time to care about the rights of those nobles."

There will definitely be nobles who are reluctant to give up their property. The newly appointed nobles of Lannia are okay, but many of the surrendered nobles, after losing their ancestral property, are no different from the poor people they despised.

They probably would not evacuate with the Principality's troops. After all, in their opinion, the current situation was not that bad. It was just some monsters causing a commotion, and even with the local militia in their territory, they might be able to handle it.

With this fluke mentality, they will stay in their own territory.

"No matter what, we must first ensure the safety of the core areas of the principality and the stability of basic production."

Morari looked at the map on the table. The staff were still updating the map based on information from various places, but even on this map that had not been completely updated, it was already filled with black flags representing attacks.

“These guys just came out of nowhere.”

Even outside the capital, the core of the principality, there is a small black flag, and in the principality's perception, there should be no aliens near the capital.

Now it seems that even in the core areas of the human kingdom, there are still many places that have not been explored clearly, and those alien races live in these places.

"The capital's guards are already conducting a thorough search of the area."

The lieutenant pointed to a chess piece on the map. It represented an infantry regiment of the Capital Guard, which was searching for the werewolf camps and the two human villages that the werewolves had attacked the previous night.

"Have them return to the nearest town at dusk, and then send two regiments to the surrounding towns to prepare for the rescue."

Under the sunlight, those aliens did not dare to appear at will. Morarichi had seen what happened when those aliens appeared under the sunlight.

The werewolf who was captured because of injury seemed to be melted under the sunlight and could not maintain its original shape at all. After a few minutes, it turned into a pool of flesh and blood on the ground.

But when night comes, these werewolves will definitely appear again, and it is not safe for an infantry regiment to face these werewolves at night.

"Any news about those rebellious nobles?"

Those nobles were technically still part of the principality, and the order to evacuate was sent to them.

"They said, 'We can deal with these monsters just like we dealt with the resisters'."

Morari shook his head. It seemed that those nobles believed that the monster attacks and the resistance were just means of dealing with them under the guidance of the Principality.
