"Excellent!"

It was Zhang Yi’s first time viewing William’s personal interface, and he discovered that William actually had a full four Skills!

After all, of the first Clan members to pledge themselves to Zhang Yi, neither Elf High Priest Shamiel nor Elf Legion Commander Feiyana initially had as many Skills as William!

Among these four Skills, one was Sharp Intuition.

William shared this Skill with Elf Legion Commander Feiyana; both of them possessed it!

Skipping that one, Zhang Yi opened the other three Skills to inspect their effects.

[Gale Acceleration Lv2]: Manipulate Wind Attribute Magic Power to form a gale around yourself. The gale assists your movements, allowing you to move faster and faster!

[Wind Charge Lv2]: When the Griffins and Elves are of one mind, and the entire Griffin Elf Cavalry Corps manipulates Wind Attribute Magic Power together, they can manually change the wind’s direction in the air, creating a Wind Charge!

[Land of No Wind Lv3]: When the Griffins and Elves are of one mind and jointly control the direction of the wind, they can create a Land of No Wind at a desired location. Enemies who enter the Land of No Wind will have their speed greatly reduced. If they remain in the Land of No Wind for a prolonged period, they will die of suffocation!

After reading about these three Skills, Zhang Yi had a rough understanding of the Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps.

Of these three Skills, two required legion-wide cooperation. They could, at a stretch, be considered Legion Skills.

However, they didn’t quite count as legion auras.

Once this batch of Elf Soldiers from the Elf Legion had all completed their bloodline baptism and returned from the Divine Realm to Moon City, they would relieve the Elves from the Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps who had been filling their posts.

The entire process went very smoothly, taking only a single afternoon.

Naturally, the Elf Elder and Elf Leader, whom Zhang Yi had placed in the Elf Mage Academy, noticed nothing unusual.

After all the Elves of the Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps had returned to the Divine Realm,

Naver began arranging living quarters for the Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps and nesting places for the Griffins...

「Seven days later.」

After the Elf Griffin Legion had been settled in Zhang Yi’s Divine Realm and begun their training, the group of Elf Scouts that Zhang Yi had sent to investigate the situation finally returned!

「In the City Lord’s Mansion of Moon City.」

The City Lord’s Mansion was entirely guarded by the Elf Legion, leaving only Zhang Yi—possessing the Holy Believer Shamiel—Elf Legion Commander Feiyana, and the Elf Scout who had come to report.

The Elf Scout was received by the guards of the City Lord’s Mansion and led inside.

Upon seeing the great God of Nature possessing the High Priest, as well as Legion Commander Feiyana,

the Elf Scout knelt without hesitation and began to report.

"Great God of Nature and Elf Legion Commander Feiyana,

according to the intelligence I have gathered over the past few days,

I can give you a general overview of the situation."

"First, there is indeed a legion of Elves of unknown origin, composed of Dark Elves and Night Elves.

They broke through the Beastman border, killing a Beastman Chief in the process, and that’s how they got in!"

"After breaking in, they stumbled upon the Elf Main City by accident."

"They wanted to enter the Elf Main City, but were stopped by the guarding Moon Elves.

The Beastman Legion, having suffered a loss at their hands, naturally kept pursuing them from behind.

That’s what led to the previous reports we received."

Hearing this, Zhang Yi nodded.

Seeing that he had the great God of Nature’s permission, the Elf Scout continued:

"The scene at the time was quite a spectacle. The Moon Elves wouldn’t let them in,

the guarding Moon Elves were blocking this group of foreign Elves, and the Beastman Legion was still in hot pursuit!"

"They were blocked from the front and pursued from behind—a situation that should have been certain death.

But then, from that group of foreign Dark Elves, one Elf suddenly stepped forward.

His power surged,

and he single-handedly led their entire force to brutally repel the pursuing Beastman Legion!"

"But that foreign Elf who stepped up was severely wounded and later died!"

"Seeing the Beastman Legion retreat, the Elf Legion at the defensive line

finally moved to block the Beastman Legion from further entering the Moonlight Forest,

and they annihilated the pursuing Beastman forces within the Moonlight Forest!"

"If what you’re saying is true, does that mean the Elf Legion on the border deliberately let this group of Elves and the Beastman Legion pass, hoping to set up an encirclement?"

Zhang Yi had clearly picked up on something that didn’t add up.

"Reporting to the great God of Nature, that’s not the case!"

The Elf Scout shook his head.

"According to our spies who infiltrated the Elf Legions stationed on the border,

most of the Elf Legions garrisoned in the dangerous zones are made up of Elves forcibly conscripted from Elf Tribes that failed to pay the autumn harvest tax!"

"Therefore, almost all the Elf Legions stationed at the border are deeply dissatisfied with the Moon Elves of the Elf Main City!"

"According to the confirmed intelligence we received,

the Elf Legion on the border that let the foreign Elves and the Beastman Legion through

was severely reprimanded the very next day by Moon Elves from the Main City.

Furthermore, the Elf Legion stationed there was replaced!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yi nodded.

’They acted on their own authority!’

As for the fact that news could be relayed from the Elf Legions stationed on the border, Zhang Yi wasn’t surprised by this at all.

After all, no matter how many small Elf Tribes Zhang Yi supported back then, it was impossible for every single one of them to pass the tax collection.

That would have been too different from previous years, and it would have definitely aroused the suspicion of the Moon Elves!

Therefore, after some calculation, Zhang Yi had made some arrangements.

He merely enabled the small Elf Tribes that originally couldn’t pay any tax to now pay a portion of it;

for the Elf Tribes that were usually just short of paying the full amount, he provided just enough for them to meet the requirement;

and at the same time, from among the many small Elf Tribes, he selected the few that always failed to pay their taxes.

Into these tribes, he successfully inserted spies from his own Elf Scout units.

When the autumn harvest tax couldn’t be paid, and the Moon Elves took away able-bodied young Elves from these small Elf Tribes for military conscription,

those conscripts were, for the most part, individuals that Elf Legion Commander Feiyana had arranged in advance, following the great God of Nature’s command.

They were all spies, specifically chosen to infiltrate the Elf Legions and gather intelligence!

Based on the Elf Scout’s report just now,

Zhang Yi could summarize two important points.

First, the Elf Legions stationed on the border were all deeply dissatisfied with the Moon Elves of the Main City and harbored rebellious thoughts.

Second, the Elf Legions on the border actually had the ability to let a force of over one thousand people in total enter the Moonlight Forest without being discovered by other Elf Legions!

’The Elf garrisons on the border have a massive security hole!’

Having considered these two points, Zhang Yi began to ask for more details.
