Legolas gazed out of the window and saw the odd force they hadn't expected to see here. Normally, it was Adventurer Association who looked after and mandated dungeon entry points.
"Wait a minute Why is the military here?" asked Legolas as he gazed at hundreds of thousands of soldiers clad in the imperial army's armors standing in platoons while revealing their banners.
Finally after they landed, all the saints flew into the sky and headed towards the entrance where military forces had barricaded the dungeon entrance.
Legolas Ragnarsson had a few 'friends' in the military so he and his group was allowed to meet the people in charge.
"Commander Astofoll, what is happening?" asked Legolas.
Before him, stood an old bearded 3rd stage human knight saint.
But before he could respond, another warship arrived and landed across the open grounds created by soldiers.
Millions of onlookers and people were astonished to see the new arrivals.
Everyone in the Elven empire was aware of their existence and even Kahn and their group was shocked to see them here.
Obviously, the new group of people was the Hero's Party.
One after another, total 12 members exited the warship and were escorted towards this temporary base where only the top officials welcomed them with the utmost respect.
The members of the Misthios guild were simply pushed behind and forced to stand on the back behind these 3 saint officials.
Soon, a warm welcome was offered and arrangements were made.
The Hero's Party with Ervalen, the Hero of Life was a proud bunch who had prideful expressions as if they were busy with great matters at hand.
[All of you, keep your heads down and conceal your auras.] commanded Legolas to his group as well as Edmund who stood with them.
Just like everyone else, Kahn and the group half-bowed to the newly arrived group.
"Huh! An Iroborn Elf?
What's trash like that doing here?" suddenly, a 5th stage saint swordsman elf from the hero's party gazed at Legolas and scoffed loudly.
However, Legolas gave no explanation and kept his mouth shut.
High Elves hated those with Bjorn Ironside's lineage. And given the fact that Kahn didn't have Elven tattoos on his face or body, means he didn't associate himself with the Monastery of Life either.
This was the least likable elf in their eyes.
The other members of the group had the similar look. Only Ervalen looked at Legolas with a curious gaze instead of showing any animosity or hatred.
"They're from the Misthios guild, my lords. It's the strongest mercenary guild of Alfheim.
They wanted to witness your grand figures arriving here so they joined us." spoke Commander Astofoll, the one who had good relations with Legolas as he tried to fetch a story on the spot.
"Hmph! Just a local force of commoners wishes to welcome us With what right?" asked a blonde archer elf.
All these members were High King Class individuals among High Elves. They were only below the Emperor Class aka the imperial family. Their status and standing were far above the High Nobles that Kahn was in touch with.
[Hey, human. I don't like the way they're looking at us.] spoke Rudra through their mind link.
Just then
One of the members spit in front of Rudra.
"Low-level hybrid trash. Why are these mudbloods even allowed here?" spoke a blue-skinned high elf with white glowing tattoos on his face.
Although he looked like a scholar and an intelligent person his conduct was simply demeaning.
BOOM!
Those words instantly riled up Rudra and he revealed killing intent without a second thought.
At this very moment, all the hero's party members could finally feel his aura of a 4th stage saint.
Their entire group as well as the military officials were alerted and some of the High Elves had their hands on their weapons.
Just then
A hand reaches out from behind Rudra's head and quickly grabbed it.
BOOM!!
Before having a chance to react, Rudra's entire head is buried in the ground.
And the one to do that is none other than Legolas.
This shocked everyone present here but quickly, Legolas gave revealed an amicable smile to the party members.
[Don't make unnecessary trouble.
This is the Hero's Party and all of them are High Elves of the highest class in the empire.
Do you want the entire Zivot Empire hunting us?] said Kahn in mind.
[But these bastards just insulted us!] rebuked Rudra as he groaned.
[So what?! A wise person knows when to be domineering and when to give in to circumstances.
This is neither the time nor the place. On top of it, there are millions of witnesses.
So just keep your head down and let me handle it.] said Kahn.
All of this conversation took only a second in real time.
"My apologies, your lordships. He is lacking in manners.
Please do not let it bother your holy conquest.
I hope all of you can be magnanimous and forgive my comrade for this transgression.] spoke Legolas in a respectful tone.
"Tch! As long as he knows his place." spoke Myrienne, who was also present within the group.
She was the main Priestess of the party, tasked with healing and buffing their group.
"Yes, my lady. I will be sure to discipline him." responded Legolas as he kept bowing.
Even Rudra got back up and bow reluctantly while controlling his urge to absolutely obliterate these people. But he was restricted by Kahn's warning despite being thoroughly humiliated.
Kahn as Legolas wasn't going to risk their identities being revealed or attract the ire of High Elves and all the efforts they made in the past 9 months go in vain just over some provocations.
Besides who knew what kind of Divine Abilities this Hero of Life had?
Killing Axel was already such a long-drawn battle. Plus the other side had two 5th stage saints.
Even Omega and Rudra alone could fight a peak 5th stage on their own. But there were 2 of them here.
This was not a place where they could test each other's mettle.
Messing with the Hero and his party was simply a no go for them at this point.
They were completely lacking in both authority, stature and battle prowess here. So bowing their head to avoid unnecessary repercussions was the only choice.
Suddenly, Ervalen spoke for the first time before things got out of hand.
"Let's go. We don't have time to waste here."
