Chapter 690 The One Whose Fame Surpasses Hilia—Miss Xi!

Forest City.

Hilia returned to this city once again.

Last time, it was due to a demon invasion caused by Phil’s issue, which she easily resolved.

This time, it’s also due to a demon invasion.

A large number of demons gathered outside the city. Hilia, Elina, and Phil, along with the luxurious mage team sent by the Elf King to ‘protect’ them flew over from above and landed on the city wall to meet with City Lord Bastuya.

Bastuya was extremely excited upon their arrival.

“The last time the Beast Tide came, it was resolved with the help of two warm-hearted mages from the human empire. They are not here now, and if you hadn’t come, Forest City would have been breached.”

Hilia had a strange expression.

The two human mages you mentioned, it’s them again this time, you know.

Hilia said, “Don’t worry, with me and Elina here, these demons can be defeated with a flick of the finger. You all can step back and just watch me and Elina.”

“Understood!”

Bastuya immediately nodded.

He was only a Tier Four, and after receiving news from the Elf Royal City, he was desperately in touch with the Elf Royal Court, finally bringing Hilia and Elina here.

At this moment, Forest City was completely relying on the Array that enveloped the city to withstand the demon attacks.

Within the entire Forest City, only a few mages possessed combat power, while others could only rely on war machinery to fight the demons.

Thus, they were among the earliest cities to have demons rushed to the outer walls and out of the Array.

It was also among the first batch of cities arranged by the Elf King.

Conveniently, as a satellite city of the Elf Royal City, its safety also somewhat ensured the safety of the Royal City.

Hilia found it strange why Forest City, being a satellite city, had such weak defense forces, while the defenses were concentrated on the Royal City instead.

If they are all moved to the Royal City, why not merge these satellite cities into the Royal City?

It’s incomprehensible.

After some strange pleasantries, Hilia and Elina used their familiar tactics and once again ascended into the sky.

This time, the theatrics caused by Hilia resonating with the Array were even more grand.

Previously, it only conjured a display of flashy auroras.

This time, she deliberately created some very impressive magic power fluctuations.

In this way, people would look and think she is powerful.

And not like in the Elf Royal City where a bunch of Tier Six mages watched and thought, “Is that all?”

With the basis of resonating with the Array and utilizing its backdoors, Hilia could also perform some ‘minor innovations’.

The purpose of these minor innovations was, of course, to flaunt better and make others feel that defeating the demons wasn’t as easy as it seemed — apart from the high magic power consumption, it was actually not difficult for her.

Since her magic power was used to annihilate demons, the grand theatrics were handled by Elina.

After some simple coordination, the two worked together smoothly.

Before long, the demons near Forest City dissipated into the air with a gust of wind.

Hilia looked at the dense metal ore outside and said, “Alright, it’s settled. However, we need to rest for a day to recover magic power before proceeding to the next city.”

An Elf Elder responsible for ‘protecting’ the two nodded politely: “Alright, the King said you can go whenever you want. The list has been prepared.”

Bastuya, watching the seemingly invincible demons being eliminated with such ease, was somewhat taken aback.

He looked at Hilia, slightly bewildered: “Miss Xi, Miss Elina, is it… over?”

Elina smiled and said, “Of course, for at least a week, demons won’t step within a ten-kilometer radius around Forest City. I can assure you of that.”

Bastuya heaved a sigh of relief, his expression gradually turning excited: “Great, we elves are truly blessed to have you two lucky stars. Perhaps, the elves will become great once again because of you!”

Hilia felt embarrassed.

Oh dear, if they found out I’m not an elf, I can’t imagine what their reaction would be.

However, since a bunch of Tier Six mages didn’t discover it, Hilia felt she would never be exposed.

That feeling was still quite thrilling.

After resting in Forest City for a night, the next morning, Hilia and her group continued their journey.

At this time, because the Elf Royal City and cities like Forest City had Elina and Hilia resolving the Beast Tide, the Elf Royal Court took this opportunity to announce to the entire Elf Race and disclose the itinerary of Hilia and her companions, telling the major cities of the elves to hang on as reinforcements were arriving soon.

The announcement was accompanied by recordings delivered by Minstrels.

Despite the Elf King being unwilling to let Elina and Hilia’s reputation peak, he had no choice but to reluctantly promote it to boost morale.

Even if he didn’t promote it, other Elf Elders would not miss this opportunity to promote it, so he might as well control some say by doing it himself.

Thus, as Hilia and her companions advanced, in almost every city they reached, the residents would cheer and welcome their arrival.

Every time after resolving a situation, everyone displayed relieved smiles, and countless elves and foreign tourists used wristbands and various recording Magic Guide Devices to capture their increasingly skilled might, along with the shocking scenes of demons abruptly stagnating and then dissipating.

These recordings also swiftly spread to other empires.

In secret, various empires sent people into the Elf Race, stirring waves of intrigue.

However, because Hilia and her companions had a luxurious mage guardian team, foreign mages trying to investigate or assassinate them had virtually no chances.

Watching Hilia and Elina in action, Candia, who had always been Elina’s ‘personal bodyguard’, looked on with a very complex expression.

“Elina this time, her reputation will surpass the previous Hilia from the Holy Court and capture the hearts of the entire Elf Race. This event is a good thing for the Elf Race; for the King, however… sigh.”

Candia supported the current Elf King.

However, upon arriving at a new city and seeing countless hopeful eyes, and witnessing the revered and enthusiastic looks after resolving issues, Candia understood that once Elina reached Tier Six, she would naturally become the new Elf King.

The current Elf King, not daring to do anything about it, could only watch her rise to power.

Candia glanced at Hilia.

“Miss Xi seems to intentionally direct everyone’s attention to Elina. Could it be that she has noticed the King’s intentions?” Candia mused thoughtfully.

As time passed, more and more cities were liberated, and even if demons still attacked later, their numbers dwindled.

It seemed that the Beast Tide was about to be smoothly weathered, thanks to Hilia’s decisive intervention.

Arriving at the last city, Hilia looked at the multitude of demons in front of her.

“These should be the last batch of demons. Once resolved, we can leave. Conveniently, these Tier Six mages have been a bit lax lately; this is an opportunity.”

“I have completely grasped the city’s Array, escaping their surveillance is a breeze!”
