Elves had long been dismissive of human beings. Even right now, despite being sent by the Elf King to
form an alliance with mankind, from the bottom of their hearts, they still despised these wretched beings.
Among the eight major races in the world, the human body was more fragile than that of the dwarves,
and their ghting ability was also pitifully low compared to other races. Moreover, human beings were
often inghting, since ancient times. Disputes on the Radiance Continent had never ceased. These
successive battles among several countries had directly led to the innite delay in the development speed
of mankind. Whether in the forging department or in other aspects, human progress was slower than that
of other races.
Human beings might be the smartest race, but it was because they were too smart that they had so many
thoughts. They were not content with the status quo and coveted more power; in the end, they let their
wisdom go to waste.
Regarding humanity’s surplus of cleverness, the elves were unable to understand or appreciate it.
This kind of internal strife within one’s own race, in the eyes of the elves, was simply asking for one’s own
demise.
There had never been a real leader in the Radiance Continent. Kings everywhere fought their own battles.
That was the understanding of other races, with respect to human beings. But this time, before they set
o, Mo Yu learned from the mouth of the Elf King that a leader actually appeared among the humans.
This person directly suppressed other ambitious people among mankind and unied the Human Race.
This made Mo Yu and several of them curious. They were not sure whether the leader really existed, or
whether it were a lie made up by the human beings for an alliance.
But the more they walked into the Barren Land, the more they felt that it was dierent from what they
imagined.
Everything here was dierent from what they had heard, except for those human beings themselves, who
stood outside the city and cast curious gazes at them.
City after city was as strong as a fort. Every brick and stone was made of the hardest ore. Even in the
Moon God Continent, Mo Yu had never seen such a strong city.
Along the way, every city brought them new surprises. The original disdain for human beings in their
hearts was disappearing little by little.
The elves wondered what kind of humans could make the defenses of all the cities in the whole Barren
Land reach such a terrible level. Before, they were still worried that they would be very passive when the
war against the Devil Race started on the Radiance Continent. But now, it seemed that the owner of this
Barren Land had long been ready to ght o the devils. The huge collection of artillery on the city walls
looked very powerful. Even though the arrival of the elves attracted the attention of many common
people, the guards patrolling atop the wall did not look at them more than once, performing their duties
faithfully.
“I am now a little interested in that human lord of this Barren Land.” Mo Yu, sitting on the horse, felt that
his eyes were dazzled. The human who built the current Barren Land was absolutely a genius. The design
of every city here was very ingenious. The construction of the city walls and the moat were perfect. If the
war took place here, it would be impossible for the devils to break through these cities quickly.
“I hope that mankind will bring us more surprises than this.” Mo Feng’s eyes ashed with a bit of
admiration. Seeing these cities, they gradually regarded the human beings in the Radiance Continent as
qualied allies. Human beings might not be as useless as they had imagined.
