[Treasury] As the name implied, was the place where the treasures were stored. The treasury of the Elves was a forbidden area for them. Other than the Elf Warriors who were responsible for guarding the treasury, only the elders of the Elf Tribe were qualified to approach it. This was because the water of life that the Elf Tribe relied on was stored in the treasury. Seeing Haru walking towards the treasury, Grand Elder Elara and a few Elf Elders quickly followed.
At the same time, when the Elf Warriors who were guarding the treasury saw Haru an inexplicable voice told them that this was the Lord of the Elf Tribe. When they saw Elara and the other elders of the tribe following behind him, they immediately deactivated the magic barrier that enveloped the treasury and opened the door.
"Lord Almighty!" Several Elf Warriors bowed towards Haru. They wore leather armor and carried bows on their backs. They looked beautiful and valiant.
"Hmm." Haru nodded slightly. Then, he walked straight into the treasury.Seraphina, Mary, Elara, and the other Elf Elders walked at the back. As for Haru's mount, the Golden Gryphon, he kept it outside, and the Elves were taking care of it.
…
Twenty kilometers away from the Elf Tribe, in the dark forest, there was an Advanced Castle. Inside and outside the castle, many Two-Headed Demons could be seen.
"Master!" A commander-ranked Two-Headed Demon at the peak of an eighth rank walked into the castle, came to a young man, and bowed respectfully.
The young man was puzzled. "What is it?"
The Two-Headed Demon Commander reported respectfully, "I don't know if it's my imagination, but I can feel the presence of the Nature Elves in the Dark Forest outside the castle!"
"This is normal!" The young man said with a flat expression: "Didn't you feel the aura of the Elves before? We had a conflict with the Elf Tribe before, but they did not do anything to us. This means that the Elves are kind and peaceful! There are Elves outside the castle. They're probably just here to monitor our castle and prevent our castle from approaching their tribe's territory again!"
"But Master…" The Two-Headed Demon Commander said, "This time, there seems to be a lot of Elves!"
The young man frowned, "What do you mean?"
"I suspect that the Elf Tribe is preparing to attack our castle! Before the war begins, the Elves usually investigate their opponents and scout their enemies."
The young man's expression changed slightly. There were some worries and some doubts. In his opinion, the conflict last time had been resolved. He did not send any soldiers to hunt in the territory of the Elf Tribe. There was no contact between the two forces, and there was no enmity. There was no reason for the Elf Tribe to suddenly attack his castle. Besides, didn't the Elves not like war?
"We must have misunderstood! Those Elves must've just been passing by. They will leave soon!" The young man could only think positively. He did not dare to imagine what would happen to his castle if the Elf Tribe attacked them.
The Elf Tribe was powerful. There was one Saint Tier warrior, several King Tier warriors, and thousands of Elf Warriors. Not to mention that his soldiers were only Intermediate-Level Two-Headed Demons, even the Top-Level Castle Lords were no match for them.
The young man believed that even Haru, the strongest Castle Lord, could not defeat the Elves. A Saint Tier warrior was enough to sweep through Haru's Angel Castle.
"Oh these Elves!" A trace of greed appeared on the young man's face. He knew that Haru's Angel Castle was not far from his castle. He had deduced this from the light beam from last night.
Many Castle Lords claimed that the location of the beam was near the Haru's Angel Castle. As for his castle, it was not far from the spot where the beam fell. He then deduced that the distance between his castle and Haru's Angel Castle was not too far.
Sooner or later, one day Haru's Angel Battle Team would charge over. The reason why he didn't withdraw from this area like the other Castle Lords and go to a more distant place to develop again was this Elf Tribe.
"I'll do it in a while! With the development speed of my castle, there is no hope of conquering the entire Elf Tribe in a short period. But, as long as I have a subordinate level up to Tier 9, there will be no problem in catching a few Elves! As long as I catch a few Elves, I'll evacuate!"
The young man was envious of those beautiful Elves. He did not leave as he was waiting for an opportunity to capture a few Elves. Then he would go to a place where neither the Elf Tribe nor the Angel Castle could find him and then he would develop his castle power.
The young man said to a Tier 8 Two-Headed Demon Commander, "Send a team of Two-Headed Demons to guard the castle. You lead the other Two-Headed Demons out to hunt! Work hard, I'll wait for you to advance to the Tier 9!"
The Two-Headed Demon Commander was his strongest soldier. It was at the peak of Tier 8. At most, it would take him two to three days, or perhaps even a shorter period to level up to Tier 9. At that time, he would make a move and capture all the Elves patrolling around his castle.
"Yes, Master!" The Two-Headed Demon Commander complied respectfully. Then, he led the team out of the castle and went hunting in the Dark Forest. The young man took a deep breath and tried to suppress the impulse in his heart. The Elves were his dream.
