I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 427 Dark Elves, Dark Alliance

"Pack your things, organize your equipment, we are about to embark on the journey." Alpha gazed at everyone's energetic faces, knowing in his heart that their chances of successfully escaping had increased a little.

After a day of rest, everyone finally recovered to their peak condition. Hope for the future ignited in their hearts, and the fear of the unknown gradually subsided.

After these days of getting along, everyone's understanding of each other has become deeper and deeper. The boar rider took the lead in stepping out of the cave and steadily moved forward, while the knights dispersed and remained alert. Then, Alpha and the elves also stepped forward.

However, just as everyone stepped out of the cave, two black shadows rushed over at an astonishing speed and rushed into the team like lightning. Everyone had no time to react, and the black shadows had already rushed into the cave where everyone had just rested.

"Stay alert and don't act rashly." Alpha gave the order without delay and signaled everyone to guard the entrance of the cave to prevent any accidents.

Just as everyone was hesitating whether to enter the cave for investigation, a group of people in black walked in. They confronted everyone, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.

"They are the dark elf drow, traitors to the elves." Maven and Evelyn suddenly saw these pointy-eared elves and immediately showed disgust on their faces. This disgust was even greater than when they first met the Boar Rider.

In front of Maven and Evelyn, a group of elves with pointed ears suddenly appeared. "They are the dark elf drow, the hateful traitors." Maven and Evelyn immediately showed extreme disgust on their faces, and the degree of disgust was even greater than when they first met the wild boar rider.

The ground elves regard the underground dark elves as traitors, and their hatred for them exceeds that for any other creatures, just like how humans treat traitors. However, unlike the ground elves, the dark elves do not have much hostility towards humans and ground elves.

The dark elves were famous for their mastery of assassination. They gave up long-range magic and chose melee combat instead. In fact, it was not that they gave up magic on their own initiative, but because they had no affinity with magic itself.

In desperation, they finally chose darkness. In the world of dark elves, darkness does not represent evil or fear, but a way of survival and a source of strength. They honed their skills in the darkness and developed it into a unique fighting style.

The origins of the dark elves can be traced back to ancient times, when their ancestors lived on the ground and shared this mysterious and beautiful world with other elven races.

However, a sudden change changed everything. Due to some unknown reasons, a few elves lost their connection with magic and could not cast magic as freely as other elves. This change made them gradually marginalized in the elf society, and they gradually formed a group of special elves without magical abilities. These elves were the ancestors of the dark elves.

As for why they were hated by the land elves, it was because during the battle for the continent, the elves and the orcs fought for the top of the continent. At the critical moment, these dark gold ancestors actually betrayed the land elves and entered the underground world. The land elves were defeated and lost the master of the continent. Therefore, the land elves blamed the dark elves for losing the master of the continent.

In the darkness of the underground, the dark elves had to learn to adapt to the new environment. They developed unique melee skills to make up for the disadvantage of not being able to use magic. Their agility and stealth made them excellent assassins and killers to survive and reproduce in the underground world.

Although there is a deep gap and hatred between the dark elves and the ground elves, deep in their hearts, they may still retain a trace of emotion towards their former compatriots. This emotion may be covered by time and war, but it has not disappeared.

Throughout history, dark elves and ground elves once lived together on the same land. They had similar cultures and traditions and shared common ancestors. However, due to various reasons, differences and conflicts arose between them, which eventually led to estrangement and hatred.

However, even in such a situation, we cannot ignore the existence of a trace of emotion. Perhaps at some moment, when they see each other's pain and plight, the deep emotions in their hearts will be touched. This emotion may be the nostalgia for the good old days, or the desire for a common future.

Perhaps one day, they will be able to find a way to reconcile and move towards a peaceful and prosperous future together. This requires efforts and courage from both sides, requiring them to put aside past prejudices and hatreds and to understand and accept each other with an open mind. This may be a long and difficult process, but as long as they have hope, they will be able to find a way forward.

"Humans, orcs, and elves? How come you are mixed together?" The dark elf looked at the scene in disbelief with suspicion on his face. In his understanding, these three races have always been irreconcilable. How could they appear together so harmoniously?

"Why are you here?" The dark elf finally realized the key to the problem. This place is one thousand meters deep from the ground, and ordinary people cannot get close to this place at all.

"Lord Mai, they must be here to stop our Dark Alliance. We must not let them succeed. We must capture them." At this time, a figure in a black robe stepped forward and said in a firm tone.

"That's right, Lord Mai, orcs are our archenemies, the elves regard us as traitors, and humans are by no means good people. They are all our enemies, and we should capture them and torture them severely." Another dark elf echoed, and then several more dark elves came forward and expressed their agreement.

Mai looked at the dark elves in front of him silently, thinking in his heart. He knew that the dark elves had long been hostile to other races, but he also understood that at this critical moment, he should not be easily swayed by emotions.

"We can't determine their intentions based solely on their race. Maybe they have other purposes," Mai said calmly.

"But, Lord Mai, how could they have other purposes? This is our Dark Alliance's secret base. Aren't they showing up here to sabotage our plans?" the black-robed figure retorted.

Mai frowned. He knew that the black-robed figure was a radical in the Dark Alliance and had always advocated taking tough measures against other races.

"We can't act blindly. We must first find out their true intentions," Mai insisted.

"What should we do? Should we just let them leave like this?" asked another dark elf.

Mai thought silently for a while, then said calmly: "The purpose of our visit this time is to capture Peter and Bis. We cannot let other things affect our mission."

At this moment, a surprising scene occurred. A shadow elf actually grabbed the two shadows that had just entered the cave, which shocked Alpha and others, and filled their hearts with fear, because there was only one exit, and no one could explain how he got in.

"We are not traitors, the real traitors are you!" the two dark elves immediately retorted.

"Elder Kailid said you are traitors, so you are traitors." Mashu, known as the strongest shadow, seemed to be stubborn in believing this point and completely ignored the two's explanations.

"Peter, what do you mean? What did you do to make the elders issue a warrant for your arrest?" The dark elf Mai tried to find out the truth of the matter.

"The Dark Alliance is no longer the underground alliance it once was. They attempted to unite vampires, undead and werewolves to join, and Peter and I accidentally overheard their conspiracy, so we were wanted." Peter explained loudly, hoping to gain everyone's sympathy.

The Dark Alliance is actually a joint self-help alliance of underground creatures, mainly to fight against underground terrorist creatures, such as giant centipedes, etc. Its main alliances include dwarves, dark elves, underground dwarves, etc., which are all intelligent creatures living underground.

"You are slandering without any basis! No wonder the elders are looking for you! Take them all away!" At this moment, another group of dark elves surrounded the place. Of course, the dark elves not only targeted Peter and Pis, but also Alpha and others were involved, and even Mai and others were under surveillance.

"Captain Balis, what do you mean by this? Do you want to capture us as well?" Mai frowned and looked at the surrounding shadow elves warily. It was obvious that they were not just trying to capture Peter and the other two.

"The elders have ordered that Peter and the other two traitors must be brought back as soon as possible. Anyone who has contact with them must return immediately. You now have two choices, either go back with us, or I will escort you back." Baalis' tone was very firm, and his tone was full of unquestionable authority. It seemed that his decision could not be changed.

Mai felt confused and lost. She didn't know who to trust, nor did she know the truth. It was obvious that Balisi didn't want this matter to spread. He planned to take away all the people who knew about the situation and quarantine them.

"Catch them for me!" Baris stared at Alpha and others fiercely, and then drew his weapons.

"We are willing to go back with you, just for a visit. If you want to use force, we will definitely not sit idly by and wait for death!" Alpha took a step forward. In his opinion, these people should know the fastest way to return.

Alpha's tough attitude made the atmosphere tense, and the two sides seemed to be in a state of confrontation. Baris's eyes were like a sharp blade, revealing determination and coldness, and the weapon in his hand flashed a chilling light.

At this tense moment, Mai was in a struggle. He realized that the situation was very complicated and he needed more time and information to sort it out. He decided to temporarily follow Balisi back to find out what happened.

"Okay, we'll go back with you, but please keep us safe," Mai said, with firmness and determination in his voice. He hoped to find clues on the way back and uncover the mystery behind it.

Baris nodded slightly, seeming to be satisfied with Mai's decision. He signaled his men to keep Peter and the other two under guard, and then led Mai, Alpha and the others on their return journey.

Along the way, Mai remained silent, his mind working rapidly. Alpha also remained alert, paying attention to the surroundings. They all knew that this return trip might face many unknown challenges and dangers.

When they finally arrived at their destination after many hardships, Alpha was shocked by the scene before him. In front of him was a vast underground space, with a dome that soared into the clouds, at least several hundred meters high. Above the dome, there was a luminous object that looked like the moon. Although it did not have the dazzling light of the sun, its brightness was enough for people to see the surrounding environment clearly.

In the center of the space, a solemn city stood tall. The tallest building was hundreds of meters high, and that was the residence of the elders. Baalis led everyone into the underground city, which was filled with a serious and tense atmosphere. The appearance of humans, elves, and orcs aroused great curiosity among the underground creatures, bringing a hint of life to this originally solemn city.

Peter and Piss were taken away by the dark elves, while Mai, Alpha and others were placed in a huge square, waiting for their fate. The square was extremely wide, with flat stone slabs on the ground and tall stone pillars surrounding it. People waited quietly in the square, their hearts filled with anxiety and expectation for the future.

On one side of the square was a magnificent temple, the doors of which were tightly closed, mysterious and solemn. Alpha stared at the temple, a feeling of awe welling up in his heart. He couldn't help wondering what kind of secrets and power were hidden in this temple.

On the other side, a group of underground lizards were playing by the pool, their scales flashing with strange light. Evelyn was attracted by them and walked closer to the pool, curiously observing their every move. The existence of these underground creatures made her feel the diversity and wonder of this underground city.

As time went by, the atmosphere in the square became more and more solemn. Finally, Alpha and the others were brought to a circular building of an arena. Alpha and Mai exchanged their thoughts with each other, trying to find a trace of comfort in each other's eyes. They didn't know what was waiting for them, but they decided to face it bravely. No matter what the future held, they would work together.

"It's unbelievable that there are humans who can reach our territory. It's simply a miracle!" On the stands, the dark elf elder stared at the humans entering from below with an expression of great surprise on his face.

"Elder, that is a team composed of humans, orcs, and earth elves. Have they united?"
