Heroic Werewolf Scroll Chapter 49: Sitting on the City Wall, Watching the Storm Brew

The battle in the southern sea not only once again demonstrated the terrifying power of the werewolf lord Xuanfeng Blizzard Wolf, but also added another Saint Realm expert to the world—"Holy Wing Knight" Jin Luosha, subtly shifting the balance of ultimate power between orcs and humans.

However, compared to this change, the human high command is more concerned about another aspect, namely the matter concerning the elves. After all, although Saint Realm experts are formidable, they are ultimately few in number and do not have the capability to destroy nations or races. What truly determines the future course of the entire continent is the power of nations and armies. And although the elves are few in number, their mastery of magic is enough to become a role that rewrites history.

Fortunately, under repeated investigations by the human side, the elven kingdom appears to have remained inactive. Although the council has confirmed that humans have permanently lost two forbidden spell mark crystals, the withdrawal of the orc envoys has given the pro-human elders more room to maneuver. Under the premise of the elven queen's silence, they have successfully delayed the matter of elven military deployment indefinitely through numerous lengthy and tedious proposals.

Although during this period, a few militant elven elders successfully passed proposals and began mobilizing elven troops for rotational training to prepare for possible future changes, causing significant alarm among the humans, as time passed, the elven kingdom remained inactive, finally putting everyone at ease.

Although there is also intelligence indicating that the elven kingdom seems to have made some contact with the Undead Island, the long-standing human misunderstanding of certain elven spiritual purity has clouded the judgment of the human high command. Additionally, since everyone had been focusing on the connection between orcs and elves, speculation in this regard has remained at the level of conjecture and has not been further explored. Of course, another important reason is that the communication between elves and the undead has always been on a very small scale, with never more than ten undead appearing together, and their reclusive nature has led to them being overlooked.

For Chen Xuanfeng, since he failed to reach an agreement with the elves as an orc representative and thereby gain prestige within the orc alliance, his plan naturally fell through. However, correspondingly, the orc king also failed to make any significant moves in this matter, so the sole highlight of the entire event—the destruction of the forbidden spell crystals—became Chen Xuanfeng's exclusive merit. Although not perfect, he did not lose out. From another perspective, being able to reach a tacit understanding with the elven queen and the representatives of the Undead Island, although it must be kept secret for a few years, does not help Chen Xuanfeng in his competition with Orc King Samanda for the orc throne. However, if Chen Xuanfeng ever has the opportunity to dominate the orc alliance, the long-term benefits brought by this tacit understanding would be quite considerable.

As for the later human ambush, Jin Luosha's fortunate breakthrough to the Saint Realm was an unexpected gain, but this alone made Chen Xuanfeng feel that this trip was worthwhile.

For the countries of the southern continent, the tranquility of the elven kingdom is the greatest blessing. Coupled with the news from the young sword saint that the terrifying werewolf-clad killer, "Golden Armored Sword Emperor," has left the south, many people's hearts have been put at ease. Although the loss of two forbidden spell casters always causes unease, the commercial activities of this continent have once again become active because of this.

While the south is peaceful, the north is once again in turmoil.

After privately reaching a tacit understanding with the Yellow Dragon Empire and the Tiele Empire, the orcs once again launched a campaign to purge the human forces on the western continent, attempting to completely eradicate the influence of the Holy Light Temple from this continent. Orc King Samanda mobilized about 400,000 elite troops, first thoroughly purging the remaining resistance forces within the controlled area, and then combined with the support forces of other races, dividing the nearly one million strong army into four routes, advancing towards the southwest where the Holy Light Temple forces were entrenched, creating a formidable momentum, as if intending to sweep across the Saint Spirit Mountain in one fell swoop.

Chen Xuanfeng's command of the Grand Fontainebleau Territory, as one of the important war zones of the orc alliance, naturally had to respond to the call to participate in the war, especially after the eastern threat was reduced, it was one of the armies personally summoned by the orc king, with no reason to refuse. However, regardless of the original intentions of Chen Xuanfeng and his wife Catherine, who led the Grand Fontainebleau Territory, a sudden rebellion, or uprising, completely disrupted the orc king's deployment, turning the entire war into chaos.

Chen Xuanfeng was listening to the frontline battle reports.

"...According to the integrated intelligence from various sources, this large-scale human rebellion was not premeditated, but the later assistance they received from human rear forces was very obvious." Reporting in front of Chen Xuanfeng was his chief disciple, the snow wolf tribe's wolf knight Antara (who hasn't appeared for a long time, even the author had to check previous articles to confirm his name), who was now the commander of Chen Xuanfeng's wolf cavalry, second only to Chen Xuanfeng and Catherine among the high-ranking officials.

At this moment, he was reporting to the recently returned Chen Xuanfeng about the human uprising that disrupted the entire orc alliance's military operations.

"According to the Lion Tribe's battle report, the initial location of the rebellion was in the eastern part of the former Viking Empire. That area was originally the border between the Viking Empire and the Holy Light Temple's vassal states, with constant warfare and a fierce populace. After the fall of the Viking Empire, many scattered soldiers and civilian experts still gathered there, so the Lion Tribe's rule has always been unstable. And precisely because it was turbulent, the orc king sent several harsh Lion Tribe nobles to suppress it, leading to constant bloodshed and high tensions between orcs and humans. The cause of this uprising was reportedly when the commander of the Vela region garrison, General Akim Split Tooth Rhine, led troops to sweep a human village, resulting in a large-scale conflict with the villagers. Unexpectedly, due to a moment of carelessness, he was killed by an underage human magic apprentice using low-level magic and traps."
