532: Chapter 445 Knowing the Enemy and Knowing Yourself_3 532: Chapter 445 Knowing the Enemy and Knowing Yourself_3 This situation matches very well with what the Dark Treant spoke of: the self of yesterday, the self of today, and the self of tomorrow.
These spiritual bodies represent the self of yesterday, and the resurrected ones represent the self of today; they do not conflict with each other.
However, the situation with Shadows is a bit more unique.
Those who are resurrected will lose their own shadow until they destroy their Shadow, only then can they reclaim it.
Similarly, the Shadow will sense the resurrection of its original body imdiately and will strive to kill its original body because if successful, it can extract all of the life essence of the original body and replace it, becoming the unique self of today—in other words, a person killed by their own Shadow will have their soul dissipated, losing the possibility of being resurrected again.
Even if the True Wraith is destroyed, the one who is resurrected in the end is the True Wraith, not the original body.
Unless the gods intervene personally, but even then, after resurrection, it would beco a new independent entity and would not affect the True Wraith.
Daphne took a cautious glance at Gaven, and upon realizing he did not categorize this intelligence as re speculation, she continued,”The Dwarves Elf population in Delnox City is between two thousand five hundred and three thousand.
Isca Yole City should have a similar population, and Holderbin City has the highest count, at least the sum of the other two cities.
Hiss!
Hearing the population numbers, everyone present couldn’t help but gasp in shock.
More than ten thousand people, if among humans, wouldn’t really count as much, at best, it would be a small-scale city.
But when it cos to the Dwarves Elves, it is quite terrifying.
Due to the Spider Queen Rose’s favoritism and affection, she granted the Dwarves Elves a much longer life.
I’ve only heard of the Dwarves Elves being killed in internal strife, hardly ever of natural deaths.
The brutal environnt of the Dwarves Elves’ internal strife has made their inner rhythm even faster than the short-lived humans, a typical scramble for power, with long-term planning being a privilege of the strong.
Yet they are the long-lived among long-lived species, which makes their internal quality very high.
Not everyone might be Transcendent, but at least all possess Professional Levels, and those levels tend to be not too low, usually above two or three.
Don’t think that two or three levels are few; Dwarves Elves naturally possess Spell-Like Abilities, have three innate Life Dice, and due to their higher difficulty in leveling up, they are naturally more powerful.
Stelina couldn’t help but press further, “The population you ntioned, does it refer to the population of the Dwarves Elves alone, or does it also include servant races?”
The Dwarves Elves are famously known for enslaving other races to serve them, whether intelligent or not.
If these servant races were included, it would not be surprising to have so many people.
“Pure Dwarves Elf population.
If we include the servant races, their city populations would double or triple on this basis.
The situation with the servant races in Holderbin City and Isca Yole City is not very clear, but what’s worth noting in Delnox City is that there is a dusa Lord among the high-ranking officials, and they have an elite dusa force, which is best at commanding Petrified Lizards to ambush and petrify enemies,” Daphne answered.
After hearing the introduction to the enemy’s strength, everyone unconsciously beca fully alert.
Their seemingly strong forces seed rather insufficient compared to the enemy.
“What about the Dwarves Elves stirring trouble outside of snoel?
They can’t all co out, can they?” Noda, characteristically crude but discerning, had never directly engaged with the Dwarves Elves, but judging from their actions, they did not appear to number in the tens of thousands.
If they really had such strength, they would have long launched large-scale attacks on cities.
Even Mystlock Locks are not infallible, they can be breached by force, it’s just a matter of cost.
Seeing Daphne hesitant to speak further, Gaven waved his hand and said, “State your analysis after the intelligence report.
Regardless of right or wrong, you will be pardoned.”
Gaven’s strict attitude towards Daphne did not affect her much, or rather, she had grown used to it.
The others were sowhat taken aback.
Although compared to others, she was his direct subordinate and entirely beholden to his mood, this level of doctrinarism seed excessive; yet thinking of the traits of the Dwarves Elves, it seed sowhat understandable.
Daphne then replied, “I believe that in the short term, we should be facing the forces of just one city, Delnox City.
There are three reasons.
First, the enemy cannot clear the Lord’s situation, especially since the Lord arrived with the mighty Root of Destruction and overwheld the Winged Night Shadow, they must take great caution.”
“That makes sense.”
Everyone nodded unconsciously, the first point being more intimidating than the second.
The followers of the Masked Sovereign had to be more cautious, as Gaven’s side had deployed two irregular forces in the fight against the Divine Root.
Lady Strategy’s incarnation was relatively easier to assess, whereas the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, which appeared before the public for the first ti, was even more unpredictable.
If they were to launch a major attack, who knew if these two irregulars would be attracted again.
At that ti, their only option would be to call upon the incarnation of the Masked Sovereign.
A victory could still be better managed, but if they were to fail, enduring the wrath of the Masked Sovereign wouldn’t be easy.
A deity renowned for chaos and evil could commit any atrocious deed imaginable.
“And the second reason?”
“The second reason is the presence of their archenemies.
They’ve only razed Guadus City in the Karinshan Empire without completely crushing the spider underfoot.
A centipede may die, but not stiffen imdiately; the followers of the Spider Queen won’t easily accept defeat and will surely lurk in the shadows for an opportunity.
This prevents them from erging en masse, for fear of having their nest overturned by their sworn enemy.
If they were to lose against us, they could at worst retreat back to their subterranean nest, as surface dwellers would scarce dare pursue them underground for battle.
But if they lose against the followers of the Spider Queen, it could an they’d be uprooted entirely.”
