Chapter 406 Regroup
But it wasn\'t just the defeat of the elves in Arcadia that had taken Tristan by surprise,
"I\'ve tried hard to save your Sister, my lord Monarch. But the Aesir is very strong, especially with the space knights helping them," explained Captain Siegfried, regretting his inability this time.
"What the fuck! How did this happen?"
Tristan got emotional and said,
"I need to get Layla back, I have to make them pay for what they did to Master Laryl and the others!"
Tristan couldn\'t control his burning anger until his body temperature suddenly increased drastically.
He paced back and forth in place, trying to control himself and clear his mind. It seemed that the figure of a powerful enemy had arrived. He could not be careless.
Meanwhile, Illiana also just received the information that Dios, the dark elve elder she trusted the most, was killed in the attack of the space knights who came with the Asgardians too.
Even though anger and thirst for revenge were swirling in her mind, Illiana tried to think rationally and gave Tristan her positive energy.
"Tristan, calm down. We can\'t be careless. No one ever thought that the Space knight would get reinforcements from the Arcadians. We have to strategize to counter their attacks and get Arcadia back."
Illiana grabbed Tristan\'s hands and told him something important.
Tristan stopped and looked at his wife. He tried to clear his mind of the fiery anger.
At least he knew that the Asgardian Aesir ordered his men to capture Layla alive.
"What the fuck do they want with my sister!"
He still couldn\'t be hasty to counterattack without knowing what the Aesir want with Layla. Especially if the space knights were ready to back up the Asgardian troops there.
"What about my army of Orcs?"
"The last thing I heard about the orcs was, they\'ve returned to Carleon." answered the Kingsblade with certainty.
"Where are the elves who survived the attack?" Queen Leena looked very worried, as she was very sure that many wood elves were at the scene of the war when the attack came.
"According to the plan, they fled into the Evergreen Forest, to Vanyar."
Hearing that answer, Queen Leena turned to Tristan again for the advice.
"We need more power, the orcs are far from enogh. Let\'s go back to the forest and gather the army."
Kolvar the high elve Elder added,
"I will help, I will prepare the high elve army here. Since the king still hadn\'t come, the people of high elves must trust in me,"
He knew that the elves were facing a crisis together, and that meant, providing as much power as possible could increase the chances of victory for the elves.
Tristan nodded in understanding. The fall of hundreds of powerful elves saints and magus in Arcadia had shown that the strength of the enemy could not be underestimated.
Moreover, with the strongest elve magus like King Castian, King Vizier, and Callan gone, his strength might not be enough. They\'re magus who was already united with the Aesir of Asgardian.
Tristan was sure that the Aesir Legacy they were looking for was also involved in the attack. King Castian and the others would definitely return soon.
But first, he had to do something to tell them.
"You are right. But first, after sending us to Vanyar, I ordered you to go to Asgardian land and find the Elven kings. Tell them what happened, then ask them to gather at the Carleon." Tristan spoke to the captain of the Kingsblade.
"Yes, sir."
Illiana added "I will return home and prepare the dark elves. You should go say hello to the Arcadia survivors in the forest, Tristan. I\'ll see you later," The girl already knew what her part of the plan was without being given orders first.
"I am counting on you, Illiana, Kolvar. We need to unite our power."
"Understood."
After a quick discussion, Tristan, Queen Leena, King Ivaasar, and Levi got into the spaceship plane driven by pilot Zoe. Tristan was feeling relieved because his favourite pilot survived the attack of the Spaceknights.
Together they flew to Evergreen forest to meet those who had survived the attack while preparing a new, bigger force to take revenge and reclaim the city of Arcadia.
"Why is the timing so bad?" Tristan thought, still thinking about Layla\'s fate, which had fallen into Aesir\'s hands.
After arriving at the Evergreen forest area, Tristan immediately rushed out and saw how the Vanyar kingdom was filled with ousted elves.
The Vanyar Kingdom looked a lot busier than usual, and its charm was greatly reduced. He could hear the pained howls of the Arcadians who were injured but managed to escape and survive. He could smell the very thick smell of blood from all directions.
Queen Leena also did not expect to see the situation in her kingdom. Now, it looked very much different after being left on an expedition for only a few days.
"I\'ve never seen anything like this before," said the queen and left Tristan to check on the men.
Captain Rayna and Captain Siegfried had left Vanyar to find the whereabouts of the strongest magus level elves using spaceships according to Tristan\'s orders.
Meanwhile, Tristan was just walking around, looking at the pathetic people of Arcadia.
Most of them seemed to still get healing magic from the wood elves who were gathered there to help. There were not only the wood elves from Vanyar but the three wood elven kingdoms in the forest, including the Ithilien Kingdom and the Mirkwood Kingdom.
He decided one thing, that the surprise attacks by the space knights and Asgardians were completely unforgivable.
"What exactly has happened here," Levi mumbled anxiously at his surroundings. He couldn\'t believe that all of this was real, the elves looked hurt and needed help.
Until then, the two of them saw the king from the Mirkwood Kingdom walking quickly toward them. The mere presence of King Haladar in Vanyar had proven that something really serious was going on.
King Haladar looked much better than before, he purposely came to the Vanyar kingdom to help the elven refugees from Arcadia with his much-needed healing powers.
"What about the expedition? How did you get out of that mist? Gosh, In the Name of Ancestor! Levi? Is this really real? Is this you, Levi?" King Haladar couldn\'t stop attacking those who had just returned with all kinds of questions.
However, what he was waiting for the most, was the answer to how Levi, who had lost his life, could come back alive and unscathed.
"The blood elf monarch had raised me from the dead, King Haladar. He even created a new immortal body for me to perfection. I couldn\'t believe it at first either. But, yes, my king, this is me. I am glad to see you here again."
Although not knowing how this happened, King Haladar immediately gave the young wood elve a warm hug in front of him as if he was welcoming the return of his son, who had been found dead in the castle.
Tristan walked away, not wanting to disturb a family reunion. He continued to circle the elves who were injured. He tried to find an important figure from Arcadia that he knew, but he didn\'t see the person he was looking for.
Next, he decided to go to the top floor of the castle and observe from the balcony.
"I can even hear their pained voices from here."
Meanwhile, King Ivaasar was still worried about his daughter, who he could not find anywhere. However, when he was looking at those who were evacuating and needed help, he finally found the beautiful figure he had been looking for so much, busy giving care to those in need.
Princess Serene.
The king approached the princess with a much calmer feeling.
"Serene, ... it\'s really you... you are here!"
Hearing her name being called by the voice of a man she knew very well, Serene immediately stood up and saw who had just come to greet her.
"Father?!" Serene really couldn\'t believe her eyes. So without thinking, she jumped up to give her father a very tight hug.
"How could this be? You\'re still alive??!" Serene couldn\'t help but cry from happiness.
"This is a miracle!" he exclaimed happily.
Tristan saw the meeting and felt happy, he himself had never had parents, so this show of happiness was quite touching for him. But at this time, his feelings were still filled with anger over what had happened to Arcadia. That was why he decided not to disturb them and went to one of the Vanyar palace rooms to calm down.
