Chapter 613: Demon Hunter, What’s this Amazing Feat?

Although his expression had softened somewhat, the elven centurion didn’t offer a friendly demeanor, speaking impatiently.
“Commander Theodore is busy with military matters. Human, if you have important intelligence, tell me, and 1 will relay it.”
He said he would relay the message, but there was no attempt to conceal the indifference on his face.
Ji Chen couldn’t help but furrow his brows slightly.
“This information is extremely important and must be discussed in person.”
Upon hearing this, the elven centurion’s expression darkened completely, and the suspicion in his eyes grew even stronger.
These humans, could they be spies for the orcs or demons, using the excuse of delivering information to assassinate Lord Theodore in person?
His patience was completely exhausted, and he had always believed that the alliance between elves and humans was a huge mistake.
Humans, a short-lived race, with neither long life nor the power and wisdom worth mentioning, what right did they have to be on equal footing with the elves, the descendants of the great mother goddess Eluvita!?
They couldn’t even compare to the vile and savage orcs!
In the era of the Divine War, when various races shone brightly and developed glorious civilizations, humans were still rolling in the mud, easily suppressed by many ancient races in terms of strength and wisdom. Apart from their relatively good reproductive ability, they had nothing worthy of praise.
Therefore, in the context of the Battle of Panas, where the elves, a top-tier race in the era of the Divine War, naturally looked down on humans to the highest degree. Even if the two races joined forces, they still treated humans as cannon fodder and servants, let alone talk about respect and friendship.
Even though the human in front of him did seem somewhat unusual, he didn’t think he had much strength.
Moreover, leaving the position without authorization before the big battle was already considered negligence of duty, and there were plenty of reasons to execute them on the spot!
His thoughts were gradually dominated by his ingrained prejudice, disdain, and arrogance. The elven centurion slowly raised his right hand, and the hawk-riding knights surrounding them once again drew their bows and nocked their arrows.
Seeing this, Tian Shu and his companions couldn’t help but show a helpless expression on their faces. It seemed that this time they were destined to fail again.
“Take a seat.”
Tian Shu and the others looked at the Islander in astonishment, not quite understanding the situation, but they instinctively grabbed the protruding horns on the dragon’s back.
In the next moment, the Sea Crystal Wyrm vibrated its crystal wings and leaped rapidly toward the empty space below.
The elven centurion’s pupils suddenly contracted, “Release the arrows!”
The hawk-riding knights released their bowstrings one after another, but the Sea Crystal Wyrm was flying too fast. In just a breath’s time, it had flown several dozen meters, and the arrows all missed their mark.
Watching as the Sea Crystal Wyrm transformed into streaks of light flying towards the command post, the elven centurion roared with all his might.
“Chase after it!”
Inside the underground elven command post, Commander Theodore had a solemn expression as he looked at the group of elven officers and powerful members of the Judgment Temple sitting on both sides. He spoke with a heavy tone.
“In this battle, we must firmly block the orcs at the Panas coast. Otherwise, if they establish a foothold here, our homeland will be severely threatened, and millions of civilians will be slaughtered.
Therefore, we must win this battle.”
“Yes!” The elven officers replied with serious expressions.
Theodore turned to his deputy standing beside him and asked, “Yanor, where is the orc fleet now?”
The deputy named Yanor replied, “They have approached within fifty miles of the Panas coast. At the current speed, they will enter the range of the sea-based artillery in half an hour.”
Theodore nodded and said, “Everyone, return to your positions immediately and prepare to block the orc landing. Members of the Judgment Temple, go to various positions to prevent the orc hero units from breaking through the defenses.”
One of the elven powerhouses from the Judgment Temple asked, “What if those demons skilled in spatial traversal come to assassinate you after we leave?”
Theodore shook his head. “The command post is located underground, in an extremely hidden location. There are also numerous defensive formations arranged around it. Although those demons are elusive, they would still need to find me if they want to get inside. Even if they attempted a frontal assault, they wouldn’t be able to break in easily. Please rest assured.”
The elven officers and powerhouses nodded in agreement and then returned to their respective positions through underground tunnels, leaving only a group of staff officers and a guard force of less than fifty in the command post.
Theodore remained focused on the strategic map hanging on the wall, completely unaware of what his deputy, Yanor, was plotting. Little did he know that Yanor had a faintly sinister smile on his face and was holding a black skull emitting an ominous aura in his hand.
Just as the deputy was about to silently activate the skull with an incantation…
Theodore suddenly spoke, “What’s the situation with the hundred-strong human team that the hawk-riding knights intercepted and ascended into the air?”
Perhaps this unexpected interruption of his train of thought caused the deputy to abruptly pause in the middle of his incantation. At this moment, Theodore turned his head around, and he happened to see the black skull in Yanor’s hand.
His face immediately changed.
In a stern voice, he asked, “Yanor, what are you doing!?”
However, Yanor only hesitated for a moment, and his expression became manic. His eyes were consumed by a blood-red hue. At the cost of his own life force, he instantly activated the black skull. Within the billowing black mist, a skeletal claw tore through the fabric of space and lunged towards Theodore..
