Chapter 580: Encountering The Elven Army

Noon the next day.

Watson had been preparing for the day to infiltrate the elves. He first asked Delta about their language and then their etiquettes and living habits. He hid in his room the entire night.

"When you meet the elves, you have to greet them with honorifics. However, you don't have to lower your head when facing an older elf. Instead, you have to stomp your feet. Facing an older elf of a different tier requires you to stomp your feet a different number of times. That is different from humans."

Standing in front of a huge bronze mirror, Watson wore a suit made of leaves that fit him. He looked at it over and over again. At that moment, his hair had changed from the previous golden color to a light green color. He also had pointed ears.

Those changes were due to his ever-changing magic. Even with his transformation into an elf, coupled with his learned speech skills and manners, no elf would see through his disguise.

"Everything is ready. It's time to set off. "

Watson tidied his cufflinks and turned to walk outside. Nia, Delta, and Claudia were already waiting outside the door. Apart from Delta, who had a complicated expression on her face, the other two women seemed respectful.

"My honorable master, the magical beasts are ready. I have also planned the route. I guarantee that we will arrive at the Elven Kingdom in the shortest time possible." Claudia stomped her feet and saluted Watson.

"I understand."

Watson did not plan to face the elf army head-on at that time. Instead, he chose to sneak into the Elven Kingdom. If he could control the Elven Kingdom, the Elven King and his army would be forced to surrender. After all, if his kingdom was destroyed, what would the Elven King do even if he defeated the Holy Dragon Kingdom?

Watson thought if he went to the Elven Kingdom quickly, he would be able to finish off the elves before the elven army attacked the Holy Dragon Kingdom. That way, the war would be settled once and for all.

Then, Watson did not hesitate to take the three women and leave the mansion. They headed toward the direction of the Planetary Fortress' main gate. At the main entrance, two officials led horses that looked like they had wings on their backs. Powerful gold-tier magical beasts came before Watson.

"Your Highness, these are the best magical beasts in the Planetary Fortress, the Pegasuses. They can travel thousands of miles in a day. You can ride them if you are tired of flying! There are still three minutes before the Planetary Fortress turns to the south. Then, it will be the closest to the Forest of Eternity. Your Highness, you should set off at that time."

"Well done! You guys are thoughtful."

"Your Highness, you flatter us. Those are all things that City Lord Deena instructed us to do." The two officials waved their hands repeatedly in the face of praise.

Watson did not expect Deena to manage those people so well within a day of becoming the City Lord.

Watson sighed. He had asked Deena to become the new city Lord because Fawkes would supervise the Planetary Fortress Army. He was worried about the other officials in the city, so he had asked Deena to do it. Coincidentally, Deena was an intelligence officer with The Severed Fingers Gang. As the City Lord, it was more beneficial for her to receive news from all over the kingdom.

Initially, he had been worried that Deena would not be able to manage the city well by herself. So he had invited a few high-tier Demoness Bandit Gang members from Mount Creation to take charge of the Everything House's management and help share some of the pressure. It seemed like it would not have been a problem for Deena, even if he did not do so. As expected, that genius from the Royal Academy did not disappoint him.

After waiting for about three minutes, the management opened the entrance. Watson, Nia, and the other women rode their Pegasused into the air and flew in the direction of the Starlight Barrier. As Watson approached, a wide crack appeared on the starlight barrier, allowing them to fly past.

With Watson's strength, it would not take long for them to arrive at the Elven Kingdom if he continuously cast teleportation spells. However, he did not know how many elites remained in the Elven Kingdom for the time being, so it was better to conserve some of his physical strength. He could also use the Pegasus' speed to rush to the Elven Kingdom in time.

"Your Highness, if we reach the Elven Kingdom later, can you not kill them first? Instead, let me negotiate with them first."

Having witnessed Watson killing Beta and creating a magic source, Delta no longer held any hope for the Elven Kingdom to capture Watson. Even if the elves used supernatural evolution to remove their restrictions, they still would not be able to defeat Watson. Even though she had only been in contact with Watson for a short day, she could already see how unfathomable that young man was.

The most important thing was that Watson could fuse with monsters. He did not even need to fight against the elven army. He only needed to use his fingers to activate the technique. The initially hostile elven army had become Watson's subordinates. How should they fight such a battle?

"Sure." Watson looked at Delta and nodded. "I don't wish to use force if it can be resolved through peaceful means. After all, I'm a peace-loving person."

"That's great."

Delta agreed respectfully on the surface, but she cursed in her heart. If Watson were a peace-loving person, he would not have chosen to infiltrate the Elven Kingdom and attempt to destroy the Elven Kingdom internally.

There was still half a day before they arrived at the Elven Kingdom. It was enough for her to think of a suitable way to negotiate. Perhaps, through her negotiations, the elves would be able to withdraw their army after they understood Watson's strength. Even though the Elven King was obsessed with the Holy Dragon Kingdom, he was not reckless. He would not make any moves until he received information from their spies. As long as she could convince most of the elves, she would have a chance to change the Elven King's mind.

As for the method of persuasion, it was simple. She just needed to let Watson show off his amazing ability in front of the elves. If it did not work, she could let Watson use that terrifying fusion magic to turn the few Elders to his side. Sacrificing a few elves could protect the interests of the entire race.

'Will I become a hero if I can protect the elves from the dangers of war?' Delta thought proudly.

At that moment, Nia's expression changed. The angel wings on her back spread open as she flew into the air and looked downward. "Master, I detected a strong energy fluctuation not far ahead. It seems like the elven army is moving. "

"Elven army?"

Without waiting for Watson's response, Delta waved her hand and said, "Impossible. The Elven King has sent the assassins to infiltrate the Planetary Fortress only a day ago. Why would they act before they receive the information we have gathered? It would have been meaningless to see us."

"I seem to have felt their movement as well. They are right in front of us," Claudia said as well.

"It's impossible—"

Delta continued to refute and then looked in the direction the two women were talking about. She was stunned when she saw the elven army charging toward the Planetary Fortress at high speed right in front of them. The Elven King had led that charge. All the elves were shouting.

"Kill the humans!" 

"Fight, fight, fight!"

What was going on?

Delta was at a loss. The Elven King had not received any information, yet he had sent the elves to charge at them. Had they gone crazy?
