Damn it, what are these elemental monsters?

Unaware of the commander's near-wailing question, the million-strong human army had already begun to retreat.

PS: Everyone, shout with me: Yuechen, Yuechen, don't be a eunuch; Weiming, Weiming, don't be a eunuch.

Heroic Werewolf Scroll Chapter 65: The Southern Chaos Shakes the World

As the human army was increasingly broken by the armored elemental warriors and kept retreating, several important figures were observing the entire battlefield with magic from the Golden Tree Fortress in the rear.

"Man, once the elves show off their magic, it's just unbeatable," said a white-haired man with a delicate appearance, looking only in his early twenties, but in reality, he is an undead who has existed for over two hundred years—Griffith, the "Dark Eagle."

Beside him, a graceful and elegant elven woman wearing a seven-colored feather mask turned and replied, "Mr. Griffith, you're too modest. Without the soul crystals from four million elite warriors you provided, this plan would not have been possible."

This woman was none other than the High Elven Queen, Rolantia.

The Dark Eagle shook his head and smiled, "Your Majesty, the whole plan was the brainchild of the elven elders. Though I helped out in some areas, I got what I wanted most out of it, so let's not bring that up again. However, do not neglect what you promised to the werewolf lord, as he is likely the successor of Leimen."

The Elven Queen chuckled lightly, "Don't sweat it. Our race has never failed to keep its promises. However, the returning elders have made it clear that helping your wife come back to life is just their way of saying thanks. So, as a thank-you for helping the elves get back to the mainland, I, as the acting Elven King, still need to send our gratitude separately to the Isle of the Undead."

Griffith didn't argue, just said thanks.

The "returning elders" mentioned by the Elven Queen refer to the identities of those super spirits who have transformed back into elven forms. With each having thousands to tens of thousands of years of experience, they quickly entered the council of elders, becoming honorary elders. The elven race's bold move to counterattack the southern mainland this time relies on their planned Elven Armor Project.

The so-called Elven Armor Project, in essence, is a plan to create a new type of soldier that combines the advantages of undead and elemental beings while discarding their defects. Elemental beings have high magic resistance but are unstable and fear anti-summoning, whereas undead beings are stable but uniquely fear the soul-dispelling effects of holy light. The idea of these super spirits is to wrap the soul of an undead being in the shell of an elemental being. This way, the elemental being stabilizes its existence with the undead soul, and the undead soul can also be immune to the invasion of holy light under the protection of the elemental being. Finally, these summoned warriors will become the armor of the entire elven race, protecting elven warriors from harm.

Of course, these summoned beings can only be specially made, and to create such beings, the caster must master both elven elemental magic and profound necromancy.

Originally, as the favored of the Nature Goddess, elves from birth to death would not touch the realm of the God of Death, naturally unable to practice necromancy. The unique undead in the elven race—the super spirits—have already transformed their attributes, losing the ability to summon elemental beings. Therefore, this idea has always remained just a plan. It wasn't until Griffith, the "Dark Eagle," in his quest to resurrect his wife, fully researched the special case of light and dark transformation that occurred to himself and sought out several super spirits living on the Isle of the Undead, that the combination of technologies from both sides led to a breakthrough in this plan.

After the light and dark transformation, the super spirits, though still undead, regained their elemental resonance abilities from when they were alive, allowing them to begin creating a new generation of elemental armor warriors. However, despite each super spirit having tens of thousands of years of magical cultivation, it is still too difficult to independently complete the task of creating millions of composite elemental armor warriors, so external help was needed. The part of the undead soul was provided by Griffith, who, during the undead war, had called upon necromancers to collect and refine the souls of millions of undead warriors as a reserve force. However, due to the influence of two major forbidden spells, the war plan was aborted midway, and these souls were just in time to be used. As for the elemental part, the consumption was even greater, and even gathering all the elven mages could not meet the short-term demand. Moreover, for future operations, it was impossible to leave the magic corps in a state of mana depletion. Therefore, the elven kingdom had to take a bold risk, directly extracting the mana from the magic shield protecting the entire elven kingdom—the Throne of the Nature Goddess—to complete this plan.

To conceal the fact of the Throne of the Nature Goddess mana decline, in previous battles with the marine corps, the elven kingdom had to make various misleading moves, inducing humans to believe that the elves still heavily relied on that super magic shield, naturally not thinking that the once-unprecedented magical miracle was now just a hollow shell.

But now, it looks like all the sacrifices paid off. The new "undead/elemental composite" is named Elemental Soul Armor, a tool that can be repeatedly summoned and used. Even if destroyed, it can be restored by inputting mana, a task that does not require professional mages; ordinary elven mana can fully resurrect an Elemental Soul Armor in a day. Now, each elven warrior is equipped with six Elemental Soul Armors, enough to reduce elven casualties to less than one percent in future wars.

The news of the Southern Alliance's defeat in the "Four-Leaf Clover Plain Battle" quickly spread far and wide, and the victorious elven army, led by a million Elemental Soul Armors, marched forward triumphantly, officially beginning the conquest of the southern mainland.

When the news reached the northern orc alliance, Chen Xuanfeng also received a message from the elven race.

"The real comeback plan is kicking off, so stick to the deal, Lord Blizzard."
