The Elf Queen Tina has finished her mobilization; the whole army is ready to go!
The battlefield is the Sunset Plain, located north of the Elf Forest.
From here, the Life Divine Tree is still visible.
Lu Ran followed the army all the way here, quite surprised by the size of this dungeon in the Elf realm.
It’s huge!
No wonder it can accommodate a whole race in a separate dimension dungeon.
At the same time.
The task was also triggered.
As the Elf Special Envoy, Lu Ran also received the task prompt.
Lu Ran found it curious; this was his first encounter with the task system.
After the global data conversion, the task system exists independently; not everyone has it.
Or more precisely, not every Professional has the chance to trigger it.
The tasks are diverse, and the ways to trigger them vary.
However, the rewards are often very generous.
Even some minor side tasks, once triggered, offer substantial rewards.
And now.
The great war between the Natural Elves and the Dark Elves is at hand, and this task’s difficulty is unprecedentedly immense!
"Whether it can be completed is unknown," Liu Xinxin pondered.
Then.
Like everyone else, she opened the task panel to check.
Lu Ran also mimicked and summoned the task panel.
[Task: The Glory of the Natural Elves]
[Objective: Subdue the Dark Elves]
[Rewards: Variable rewards, based on the number of Dark Elves subdued, earn points—the higher the points, the greater the reward, with a minimum reward of D-level, and a maximum of SSS-level.]
The task description was still quite simple.
But it was very vague,
and the exact rewards were unclear.
"Variable task..." Liu Xinxin pondered, "This is rather beneficial; it won’t be impossible to complete due to excessive difficulty, preventing any reward."
Variable tasks are rewarded based on completion degree.
The higher the completion, the richer the rewards.
The minimum reward is D-level; it’s unclear how many Dark Elves need to be subdued.
The maximum SSS-level difficulty also doesn’t specify how many are needed.
But...
Liu Xinxin looked at Lu Ran excitedly and said, "You must get the SSS-level reward!"
Lu Ran snapped back to attention.
He mused, "Luckily, the task requirement isn’t to kill; otherwise, the difficulty would be more substantial. The Dark Elves’ numbers should be similar to the Natural Elves. If it’s just about subduing, the Skeleton Throne controlling and enslaving them should also count as subduing."
But Liu Xinxin regretted, "The Natural Elves believe in peace, and Tina won’t give out killing orders, nor has she ever done so. This aligns with her personality. Despite her significant hostility toward the Human Race, she is compassionate towards the Elf Race, even the Dark Elves. Since both are of the same lineage, in the event of war, life and death are inevitable. Had the Life Divine Tree not needed Magic Stones to grow, Tina likely wouldn’t have declared war on the Dark Elves."
After speaking,
Liu Xinxin added, "This is even better; if you can conquer the Dark Elves without any casualties on both sides, reclaim the Magic Stones, that should be the perfect outcome in Tina’s eyes. Not only can you get the SSS-level reward, but you should also earn Tina’s recognition and possibly have a chance to receive the Elf Wings!"
Liu Xinxin’s analysis made sense.
Lu Ran was also excited, even starting to look forward to the Dark Elves’ quick emergence.
Liu Xinxin regretfully said again, "With gains come losses. The pity is, if killing Dark Elves were required for the reward, you could do it, and the Dark Elves could provide you with ample experience!"
That experience isn’t something the Forest of Ten Thousand Corpses can compare to.
Tens of thousands of Dark Elves!
Rarely is there a chance for so many Monsters to gather together, a densely packed army for Lu Ran to kill!
The experience is simply unimaginable!
Lu Ran couldn’t help but swallow his saliva upon hearing this.
He muttered, "What if I kill a portion?"
Even half or a quarter, that experience would be incredibly terrifying!
But Liu Xinxin immediately knocked on his head.
She said, "You need to have some ambition, kid. You’re the Elf Race’s envoy now. Although the Dark Elves are a branch, they are of the same lineage. Sacrificing the future for instant gain, even if you get the SSS-level reward because of mass slaughtering Dark Elves, Tina would reproach you, and dreaming of obtaining the Sacred Artifact Elf Wings would be out of the question!"
Taking such a massive amount of experience at once is indeed tempting.
But if it costs the chance to get closer to the entire Natural Elf race, and lose the chance to obtain the Sacred Artifact, that would be the most foolish thing.
Lu Ran smirked and said, "I’m just saying; after all, Xinxin, you’re part of the Elf Race too, I’m aware of my boundaries. Since Prophet Hayley gave me the position of Elf Special Envoy, it certainly wasn’t hoping for me to quell the conflict through slaughter."
Hearing this.
Liu Xinxin finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Good you know. When the battle starts, regardless of others, summon the ancient Golems first to ensure nothing goes wrong. Also, the first to control must be the Dark Elf Queen Sillor. Once you control the Dark Elf Queen, handling the entire Dark Elf army will be easier."
Lu Ran solemnly nodded.
At the same time, he began to speculate what the ultimate SSS-level reward might be?
Looking up.
The Elf Race’s army was in full readiness.
The vast open space of the Sunset Plain in front was peaceful, with only a breeze occasionally rolling over the grassy waves.
But soon, the atmosphere of the impending fierce battle quickly calmed it.
The Elf Queen Tina, clad in golden battle armor, wrapped her perfect, extreme body.
But this golden armor, this part, and that part.
The smooth back, the flat stomach, the fair, long legs were exposed, making Lu Ran curious about what it actually protected.
Behind her was a pair of enormous, exaggerated Elf Wings.
Besides, as an Elf race, she naturally possessed an exquisite appearance and a hot figure.
Who wouldn’t be tempted by such a sight?
Lu Ran couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.
He was probably the first to have thoughts about the Elf Queen in his mind.
But the Elf Queen Tina clearly wasn’t easy to capture.
Lu Ran suddenly thought of the Dark Elf Queen Sillor, whom he could fully control.
He wondered what she looked like?
He hadn’t interacted with Dark Elves, but since they were the fallen Natural Elves, they shouldn’t be too far off, right?
If they really fell into disgusting monster elves, that would be a big loss!
Li Xinxin probably couldn’t have imagined Lu Ran’s mind was filled with such messy thoughts; otherwise, she would heavily criticize him.
Perhaps sensing Lu Ran’s invasive gaze, or because Lu Ran was the only pure Human Race present.
She glanced over.
Lu Ran, feeling a bit guilty, quickly avoided eye contact.
Tina frowned slightly without saying anything, her gaze sweeping over the human transition team, then ignoring them.
In her mind, she didn’t think this small group of people could significantly impact the battle.
Meanwhile.
Suddenly, at the front of the Sunset Plain, a massive black crack appeared.
It was as if some hands had ripped open the space!
"Here they come..." murmured Liu Xinxin.
And Lu Ran.
He instinctively pulled Liu Xinxin behind him and instructed, "Xinxin, don’t make a move, just stand behind me."
Lu Ran can use ancient Golems to block damage.
He also has the Yin and Yang Realms for revival, which gives room for error.
But Liu Xinxin, if struck dead, would truly die!
Liu Xinxin was taken aback, looking at Lu Ran, who was shielding her, her eyes flickering slightly.
