Elena's first reaction at that time was jealousy.
She was jealous of Naruto Saikyuu who threw all the work at her, and she experienced so many thrilling adventures with the hero.
If the Dark Ages of Humanity had not occurred, if humans had not started to persecute various sub-humans, if demons had not invaded the Forest of Elves, if Queen Mingtu Saiqiute had not been infected with darkness in order to protect the elves, I would probably still have longings for the outside world.
For some reason, looking at Yang Yu now, Elena actually began to yearn for the outside world again.
Elena couldn't figure out why Queen Mingtu Saiqiute chose her to be the queen. Now that she thought about it, it was probably because she, like her, had a strong interest in the outside world.
Perhaps I was wrong from the beginning.
But we must not make mistakes upon mistakes.
This young man from the outside world, carrying something on his shoulders, Elena wanted to see what solution he could come up with in the face of such a desperate situation.
"I'm ready. If you can really help us get through this difficult time, I will thank you on behalf of all the elves."
After listening to Elena, Yang Yu grinned.
"My Queen, since you think so highly of me, I will tell you straight away! Joining the war in Wansheng Country is the only way out for you that I can think of."
After these words came out, Elena's eyes looked a little strange, and she shook her head.
"Is this really the only way out you can think of? War has always been cruel. If my people were allowed to participate in the battle, there would be heavy casualties."
"But it's better than letting the elves die quietly this winter. Besides, you elves are least likely to suffer heavy losses. At most, you will be a little tired."
Yang Yu stretched out his finger and waved it with a smile.
“If you elves join the war, Wansheng Country would rather have you serve as medical soldiers. We will definitely place you in the rear of the army, where the loss will be less than if you were actually fighting on the front line.
Thanks to you, many soldiers were even able to avoid death, and they are extremely grateful to the elves.
You are important medical soldiers. Even if it means letting others starve, most soldiers will definitely want to feed you.
At least it will help you get through this painful winter."
When Elena heard what Yang Yu said, she had to agree. It might really be a good idea to choose to rely on Wansheng Kingdom at this time. The fact that Wansheng Kingdom sent soldiers to guard the elves also meant that they had this intention.
But not long ago, Elena rejected her uncle's invitation with a tough attitude. Now it's not a good idea to go over to him again.
Just as the queen was about to speak out about this, Yang Yu suddenly changed the subject.
"Now that we have talked about the advantages, let's talk about the disadvantages. As for the disadvantages, letting the elves join the battle might have been the original intention of those who attacked the elves."
"What?" The Elf Queen frowned, unable to believe what Yang Yu said. "Can you tell me what's going on?"
"My Queen, weren't you very concerned about who persecuted us and the elves at the beginning? Now I will tell you."
Yang Yu's face suddenly became serious.
"They are a sect called the Curse Sect, which believes in demons. Perhaps their original intention was to force you elves to participate in this battle."
If it was a cult that believed in demons, all of this would make sense. The demon's darkness could corrode the elves, but the elves' holy light could also cause powerful damage to the demons.
Since they believe in demons, it is only natural for them to attack them.
"By participating in this battle, do they want to lure us out of Fallen Feather City and capture us all in one fell swoop?"
"That's possible, but in my opinion, there may be more to it than that. This place is located in the interior of Wansheng Country. It is difficult for ordinary humans to appear here, let alone take away so many elves at once. Moreover, the timing they chose to attack was not good.
My Queen, as someone who has rescued elves, I know a lot of secrets about the elf trade.
I can tell you for sure that it would not be easy for them to sell so many elves abducted at one time in our human market.
If it is in line with my guess, as long as the queen joins the battle, I think those elves will soon return to your team."
Elena opened her eyes in disbelief. When she thought that the captured elves might return to the tribe, she couldn't hold back her excitement and stood up from the throne.
"Is it true that as long as we join the war, those captured elves will be able to return to us?"
“Don’t be so excited, Queen. I’m only talking about one possibility. What others do may be the exact opposite of what we think.
The other party may not intend to sell the elves, but may use them for some kind of ritual.
In that case, perhaps all the elves will never come back.
Your Majesty, please prepare for the worst.
There are many other possibilities that I haven't mentioned, I only picked out the two most likely ones.
Every situation is possible.
In order to narrow the scope and discover the real truth, we have to collect clues one by one to be 100% sure and identify the mastermind behind the scenes.
This is a thorny road, what do you think, Queen?"
"If it is really as you said, what will happen if I refuse and insist on not participating in Wansheng's war?" Elena asked.
"I think even if the captured elves are alive, they will probably be dealt with. After being dealt with, the people of the Curse Sect will take action again until you join the battle."
Elena smiled, her smile full of bitterness, "From the beginning, you didn't intend to let me choose. As the Queen of Elves, there is only one path I can choose."
"I just told Her Majesty the Queen everything I guessed. Her Majesty the Queen has countless choices, including abandoning her tribe, giving up her identity as Queen, and walking away."
"Do you think I am that kind of person? Can you teach me what I should do next to save my compatriots?"
"My Queen, don't think that I am omnipotent. Besides, if you want help from others, you have to give me something I want."
"What do you want? How can you help me?"
"It's simple. I just hope that you elves can stand by my side when necessary."
Elena agreed to Yang Yu's conditions without any hesitation, "I understand. If you need us, we will stand by your side."
Only then did a smile reappear on Yang Yu's serious face. "Your Majesty, you really agreed quite straightforwardly. Then, let's discuss the next course of action."
