It has been four weeks since Zhihui and Mors went their own ways. It seems like Mors had it hard, seeing how the first day he arrived he got an event. Only 3 days later to finish it.
'I hope the Magma Spirit was not too strong'
Zhihui thought to herself, the Elf encampment slowly coming into view. Countless wool and cotton tents were scattered around the ever-expanding green plains of the Green Sea. Hunting teams leave the encampment and enter it one after the other. Smoke rises from campfires and makeshift smithies.
Because of the Elves nomadic nature, they don't have that many metal armor or weapons. Getting metal gear from either the Dwarfs or Sects caravans. They normally make their armor out of monster leather and scales. While their weapons are made from a special alloy of bone and monster parts.
Allowing the creation of flexible and replicable weapons. When you live in this large plain, the second thing more abundant than the color green is monsters. The Elf group Zhihui is with soon arrives on the encampment, as the Elves jump down from their bounded monsters back.
Some Elves that were nearby, training or butchering monsters brought by the hunter groups look at the Elf group. Their eyes slowly focus on the beautiful and breathtaking Zhihui. Some of them felt their heart skip a beat, but as their eyes notice the style of her clothing. Their looks harden somewhat.
"By Gold's good name, what is a human doing here?"
"No clue.."
Two Elves said to each other as Zhihui group walked past them. As they walk deeper into the encampment, more Elves would become hypnotized by Zhihui's good looks. Only to soon change their tone when they notice her clothing and heritage. Soon more Elves started to gather around Zhihui group. As a man with pointy ears and green hair stood forward. Blocking Tsitrin way.
"What are you doing?"
"I just want to know if the Gal doroo clan finally decided to betray us. Why in Gold's good name is there a human in your group?"
There are many relationships between the Elven clans, from rivalries, alliances, hatred, and goodwill. While in times like this they must put their differences away and band together for their cultural survival. You still have people stupid enough to go against the norm. The Elf in front of Tsitrin must be from a rival clan, or maybe he just hates the Humans from the Sects.
Maybe the latter seeing how many Elves have surrounded them. But Tsitrin knew of one simple way to break this person apart.
"I am following orders from the Great Khan, Topazyn Davs. If you got a problem with her orders say it to her face"
As those words echo in the ears of the Elves, all color drain from their faces. As the group started to break apart and do their own things. Every here knew how cruel the Great khan is. Her iron fist of a rule made sure that everyone knew what will happen if they cross her.
Thankfully no one has pissed her off enough to kill them on the spot, but there have been multiple beatings and harsh punishments against those that piss her off slightly. Even Tsitrin felt fear at the thought of giving his report to the Great Khan. But he must finish his mission, if he runs away now he will be forfeiting his life away.
The group continues to move forward, their destination being no other than the Great khan tent. The large tent stands out compared to the other tents. Two warrior stage cultivators with their bounded monsters stood guard in front of the entrance of the tent.
One of the guards is a woman who has not self-reform into an Elf. Looks at Zhihui group as she spoke in a commanding tone.
"State your business with the Great Khan"
"I am Tsitrin Gyeod! I have come back from my diplomatic mission with the Elemental Weapon Sect"
"Let me-"
"Let them in"
Topazyn voice came from inside the tent, taking everyone by surprise as the two guards did as commanded. They pull open the opening of the tent, allowing the group to enter the tent. Leaving of course their bonded monster outside. Bringing your monster into someone else tent is a huge disrespect without the owner's permission.
The group enters the tent, and in front of them, sitting on top of some pillows is the Great Khan. Her bright yellow hair is tied into a nice and neat bun. Her deep orange eyes scanned the group, wearing nothing more than a loose outfit. Her steel-like muscles peeked through the fabric. In her hands are slates made of wood and mud.
Since the Elven clans don't have the luxury to make paper like the Sects and settle tribes. They make slates of wood and mud to write information on. While only being one time used, it is all they really need. Next to Topazyn is her bonded beast, a Lighting High Lizard. The lizard gem-like eyes scan the group, standing at attention ready to protect its mistress.
The group bows down, showing their respect to the Great Khan. Even Zhihui bow down, following along with what the Elves were doing. Tsitrin spoke up, not daring to look the Great Khan in the eye.
"I am Tsitrin Gyeod! I come with news from the diplomatic mission to the Elemental Weapon Sect."
"Speak"
"Yes! The sect agrees to give us better trade deals, but they can't send us any forces in fear that they leave themselves vulnerable to the Spiri-"
A lighting strike hits right next to Tsitrin, Topazyn looking at him with furious eyes. Her index finger has smoke coming out of it, unlike Zhihui whose fingers become burned. Topazyn has better control of the Heavenly Element. But Tristrin continues to talk.
"But that is not all Great Khan! The sect agrees to give us two warrior stage cultivators to-"
"Enough! Speak another word and I will kill you all!"
Topazyn said, her anger knew no bounds. She is surrounded by stupid people who can't see the bigger problem! Forget about the Spirits! If they don't deal with the [Hunger] corruption now and let it grow stronger from defeating the Elven Khaganate and the Zanth Khaganate. Then it would come for them next!
But a brave voice spoke from the crowd, the shaking and scared Elves looking at the person with open and surprised eyes.
"Great Khan, would you allow me to speak?"
"Who--You are a Human from the sect are you not?"
"Yes, I am"
"Speak"
Topazyn said she could not kill the Human in front of her even if she wanted to. Doing so would cause a diplomatic incident between the Elves and the sect. She can't deal with a two-front war at this moment.
"I am Wu Zhihui, daughter of the current Elemental Weapons Sect leader. I am coming here with my husband Wu Ming. The reason we came here is that while only being warrior stage, my husband is able to summon copies of himself of similar strength. They can be a great help in the upcoming war"
As Topazyn hears this, her mood improves somewhat. Only to soon realize she doesn't see this so call husband, but before her mood can become worse. Zhihui continues to talk.
"My husband right now is helping the Dwarf with their Spirit problem and 4 weeks ago I have been notified that he has finished his mission. Allowing the Dwarf to send a large portion of their army here to help us out"
"What!? Really!? That is great! When they can come!?"
Topazyn said with excitement in her voice. If the Dwarf with their amazing technology come here and help out, then the chances of surviving and winning improve by a large margin. She could care less about two warrior stage cultivators if she can gain the support of the Dwarf.
"In around 2 weeks they will be arriving here, while I don't have the summoning skills of my husband. I have been blessed with affinity with all Heavenly and Earthly elements. If you allow me, I can use my skills to help out by building fortifications"
The tent becomes quiet as Topazyn looks at the beautiful Zhihui, soon a large smile grows on her face as she spoke again.
"Your help is accepted, but I will work you to the bone! We must build as many fortifications as possible before the war"
"Of course,"
Zhihui said, as the robotic voice of the system rings in her ears.
