“The barrier is open. Everyone, follow me and charge!” The Elven King waved his hand, recalling the promise he had made. He said, “The Forest Dragon King is our ally, so their power is ours. In other words, if she breaks through the starlight barrier, it’s equivalent to us breaking that barrier.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Many elves curled their lips; they thought the explanation was forced. However, they soon forgot about that matter. No matter how embarrassing the Elven King had been, at least they could break that barrier. They would be able to take over the fortress city soon.

With that in mind, the elves picked up their weapons again and rushed forward. Then, they stopped halfway, and their expressions were even weirder than before.

“What’s wrong now?”

The Elven King felt like he had lost his dignity because he could not break the protective shield and had to request the help of the Forest Dragon King. Then, his troops had stopped again. He suppressed his anger when he asked that.

“Your Majesty, a similar starlight barrier has appeared in front of us. Even our men are unable to break it. Look!”

The elven general who had just reported to the Elven King returned with a helpless expression.

“Another starlight barrier. How is that possible? How many starlight barriers did those humans create?” The Elven King was also stunned. He was already shocked by the starlight barrier they had just broken through. He did not know how the humans did it; he did not expect to see a second barrier. Did those humans develop some new technology? Or was that the effect of a treasure from an ancient ruin?

“Forest Dragon King, I’ll have to rely on you for the next barrier.” After thinking for a while, the Elven King turned around and humbly looked at Rita.

“No problem. The reward is still water from the Spring of Life, but—”

“But?”

“I wanted two bottles this time.”

“Dragon King, you’re extorting me.”

The Elven King was so angry that his mouth was crooked. Rita had only asked for one bottle of water a moment ago, and then he wanted two. If that went on, Rita would ask for even more. The Elven Kingdom only had one valuable thing because they had to conquer the Holy Dragon Kingdom. They had almost used all of it.

“Well, you can always solve it yourself.” Rita gestured at the barrier.

The Elven King rubbed his chest. The only person to help them with the problem was Rita. He could not do anything about it.

“I understand, Dragon King. I’ll give you two bottles of water from the Spring of Life. I’ll leave the protective shield to you.”

“Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

Rita rolled her eyes and raised her slender hand again. She summoned a giant sword the size of a World Tree to split the Starlight Barrier open and let the elven army enter. The Elven King did not say a word, but his expression was extremely gloomy. He had already lost several bottles of water from the Spring of Life before he even saw the fortress city. He blamed the humans in the fortress city for that. He would not let those humans end well after he broke into the city.

Then, he raised his head and looked forward. At that time, he did not say anything to boost morale because he had to make sure that there was no starlight barrier in front of him. Otherwise, it would be even worse if he was slapped in the face yet again.

When he looked over, the Elven King was stunned because he found another starlight barrier in front of him. That made him scratch his hair in madness. “Why is there still a starlight barrier? Is it endless?”

“Your Majesty, do you still need my help? This time, the price will be three bottles of Spring of Life water. I’m not trying to trick you. After all, every time I make a move, I have to expend energy, and it’s getting harder and harder for me to break the barrier,” Rita said, making the Elven King feel even more uncomfortable.

If there were many more starlight barriers, he would not be able to pay with more water from the Spring of Life. Of course, that meant they would have to retreat. However, things had progressed to that point.

“Your Majesty, those starlight barriers weren’t here a few days ago. Someone must have made them two days ago. What about the assassin team that broke in to capture Watson? Perhaps they know something about it.”

That was right.

“That makes sense. In fact, I thought of that too. Go ahead and get Delta and Watson.” The Elven King nodded and ordered his subordinates to summon them.

Soon, Watson and Delta were brought before the Elven King. The first person he asked was Delta. “Delta, when you came here, did you encounter those starlight barriers? If so, how did you enter? And how many of those starlight barriers are there? ”

Delta glanced at Watson before answering. She spoke after receiving Watson’s affirmative gaze. “When we came here, we also encountered those barriers. There are nine barriers, and each one has a defense comparable to the starlight tier! We could get past them because of Beta. He could control the bones, and there was no lack of remains of ancient gods among them, so he was able to break through the barriers.”

“I got it.”

The Elven King nodded. On the surface, he was calm, but in his heart, he was cursing himself for being a jinx. When he had mobilized the elves, he had said that regardless of whether there were one or nine barriers, they would all pass through it. He did not expect that there were actually nine such starlight barriers.

One had to reach starlight-tier to break through it. Such a barrier was beyond his understanding. Initially, he was full of confidence in attacking the fortress city, but his confidence had shattered.

“Delta, answer me one more question. How were those nine barriers created?”

If humans created those nine starlight barriers, it meant that there was an elite among humans who could create a starlight-tier protective barrier. They must be a starlight-tier elite.

“I’m not too sure about that. Your Majesty, you should ask His… Watson about that.” Delta almost blurted out the honorific title she had for Watson, so she quickly coughed to cover it up.

The Elven King turned to look at Watson. Even though he did not say anything, the meaning was obvious. Watson smiled and said, “No one created those nine barriers. They are attached to a building called the planetary fortress.”

“I see. So it was a protective shield attached to the building. That building, called the planetary fortress, must be ancient. It must have been excavated from the previous era!” The Elven King was relieved when he heard that humans did not make it. It was just as he had thought—there were no such elites among the humans. They were lucky enough to dig an ancient relic with a protective shield. That was how those humans were barely able to withstand their attacks.

Seeing that the Elven King believed Watson’s words, Delta’s lips moved. She looked like she wanted to say something, but finally, she held her tongue.

Watson, on the other hand, maintained a smile. It was not surprising that the Elven King believed him because he told the truth.. He did not create the starlight barrier; the planetary fortress did.
