Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong - Chapter 2855: 1564: The Lord's Plans and Arrangements

Capítulo 2855: Chapter 1564: The Lord’s Plans and Arrangements

“Oh? What do you mean by that?”

In the gigantic ancient corridor filled with rising flames, Leo Ray cast a curious gaze at Lila, who accompanied him.

“To be frank, Your Majesty, the Dark Half-Elves are the only second-tier power that hasn’t been suppressed by the Throne Corridor, nor have they colluded with it. Although considered part of the Throne Corridor, their situation is entirely different from ours.”

Lila nodded towards Leo Ray, explaining, “Therefore, they’re unlikely to wade into this mess, at most they’ll stay neutral.”

“You’re saying the Dark Half-Elves are neither pawns of the Throne Corridor nor have they been seized by it?”

Leo Ray’s curiosity grew, and he asked, “What’s the reason behind this?”

“In response, Your Majesty, the Dark Half-Elves, as the name suggests, are humans mixed with the bloodline of Dark Elves, similar to the Light Half-Elves and Forest Half-Elves.”

Lila, clearly knowledgeable about this neighbor, explained, “But unlike the Light Half-Elves who have always depended on the Light Elves, the Dark Half-Elves, although superficially a second-tier power, have always been closely linked with the Dark Elves. With such a powerful backing, the Throne Corridor dares not easily move against them.”

“After all, although the Dark Elf Kingdom has declined over the past millennium and is often derogatorily called a second-tier power by other established first-class forces, it remains a stronger presence than the Throne Corridor.”

Upon hearing this, Leo Ray gently stroked his chin, nodding thoughtfully.

Regarding the Dark Half-Elf Kingdom, he had heard of them before but knew very little.

From this perspective, the Dark Half-Elves are indeed a unique presence among the second-tier powers.

As for the Light Half-Elves, whom he previously interacted with, they are also a second-tier power, but their territory is near the Light Elves, not within the Throne Corridor’s range, making them naturally unable to extend their reach there.

“Speaking of which, while the Dark Half-Elves have a somewhat lofty status among the second-tier powers, it doesn’t mean they are fond of the Throne Corridor. At least we should first gauge their stance, as securing their support would be far more valuable than that of ordinary second-tier powers.”

With this in mind, Leo Ray asked, “In previous meetings, has the Throne Corridor ever invited the Dark Half-Elves to participate?”

“For Your Majesty, in my recollection, the Dark Half-Elves seem to attend every time. However, it’s not their Queen who attends, but the Dark Half-Elf Prince, evidently falling short of the Broken Wing King’s standard for the tribe leader to be present.”

Lila pondered for a moment, responding, “And the Broken Wing King hasn’t made a fuss, indicating he indeed harbors apprehension toward the Dark Half-Elves.”

“When thinking carefully, it seems we’ve never seen the visage of the Dark Half-Elf Queen, even though their territory is right beside ours.”

Hollis furrowed his brow, contemplating, “Must admit, just like their backing Dark Elves, the Dark Half-Elves are quite a mysterious force.”

After Hollis spoke, Bruce and Rax also nodded in agreement.

It should be noted that the strong of the Dark Elves are notoriously elusive and troublesome among the Ten Thousand Clans, renowned for their assassins and shadows, and the same goes for the Dark Half-Elves, with cities standing strong in underground tunnels.

Unlike the Dwarves who also love to dwell underground but enjoy the bustle, both the Dark Elves and Half-Elves are reclusive types, rarely communicating with the outside world.

“A rather mysterious force, huh? Then we should definitely make contact first.”

Leo Ray snapped his fingers lightly, indicating he had made up his mind.

“Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?”

A trace of confusion crossed Lila’s fair face, while Hollis also cast a perplexed gaze over.

“It’s simple. Despite the Dark Half-Elves having a transcendent status, they’re likely to detest the Broken Wing Clan, which claims to be the second-tier power overlord. After all, should the Broken Wing King grow too powerful, they’ll inevitably tread on the Dark Half-Elves one day. The Broken Wing King is clearly a tyrant intolerant of sand in his eyes, and the Dark Half-Elves are surely aware of this.”

Leo Ray nodded towards Lila and Hollis, sharing his earlier thought: “Especially now that a confrontation between the Dark Elves and Light Elves is imminent, the Dark Half-Elves must leave themselves an escape route.”

“If the Dark Elves really do engage in battle with the Light Elves, whether they can protect themselves is uncertain, leaving the Dark Half-Elves unsupported.”

Hollis also seemed well-informed about the current situation among the Ten Thousand Clans, his eyes gleaming brightly as he said, “Your Majesty is right. From the Dark Half-Elf perspective, with the possibility of their backing encountering issues, they indeed need an escape route!”

“And the best shortcut for that path is to pull the Broken Wing Clan down from its Throne Corridor overlord position!”

Lila quickly grasped this, realizing, “This coincides with our goal!”

“That’s why I propose we first contact the Dark Half-Elves; gaining their support would be far more advantageous than any ordinary second-tier power.”
