"Dad I don't want to leave you! I still want to protect you!" The heroic half-elf girl shouted loudly. She clenched her fists so hard that she almost cried. She was very slender and her breasts were not developed. She looked about twelve or thirteen years old, so this statement seemed very strange. "An, Dad can protect himself. Soldiers on the battlefield have already given their lives to the gods. I know your bravery, but you are still too young, aren't you?" Marshal Yang frowned slightly. , his voice and expression became heavy. But the half-elf girl named An was unwilling to give in. Her voice became excited and tears flowed down her beautiful and tender cheeks. "I am already sixteen years old. I can take the three moves of General Lu Jin Even Miss Aqi taught me! Miss Aqi will never teach sword skills to weak people! I deserve it. The sword of the Thirteenth Legion, I want to be your sword! Dad, please don¡¯t let me leave you!¡± Her platinum hair suddenly flew up, and in the brilliant light, the golden and red phoenix wings came from her back. Spread out like a torch that illuminates everything. At that moment, Hyde suddenly felt an incredible pressure, which was close to the pressure brought to him by Jessica, the tenth champion of Middenland! "Marshal Yang's adopted daughter actually has such strength? Is a half-elf so powerful?" Hyde couldn't help but ask himself in his heart. This half-elf girl named An shocked his heart, and at the same time, it reminded him of something. Something Loren Sr. and Marshall once mentioned. Because of the huge force, his Mirmidia Seal could not help but unfold a corner, and the brilliance of different colors instantly filled the entire small cabin. In fact, due to the large number of elven mercenaries, elven merchants, and the existence of the famous Sea Elf Dominion in the empire, mixed blood between humans and elves also often occurs. Hyde's mother, Princess Anna, has one-eighth elven blood. Miss Greenhill is also a person with one-eighth elf blood. In fact, even Hyde himself has one-sixteenth elf blood. Therefore, half-elves are more common in the empire than elves, and there are many legends about them. "Five hundred years of life turned into infinite power, this is the bloodline of the half-elf chosen by God!" This is a common rumor among the imperial army and the people, and there is a reason for this rumor. Because unlike the legendary high elves who have thousands of years of youth, the lifespan of half-elves is only a few decades longer than humans, although they often still have the appearance of humans when they are thirty when they are eighty years old. But most of them quickly grow old and die after they are over a hundred years old. But at the same time, most of them possess superhuman agility, physical strength, and amazing energy, far exceeding that of pure-blooded high elves, so all these doubts have become the cause of legends. "If there are not ten favored ones, then please send me at least thirty people with the blood of dragons and white lions!" A hundred years ago, Imperial Marshal Terenz once issued such an urgent message during a battle with the greenskins. , because the so-called "bloodline of dragon and white lion" is a tribute to the half-elf. These half-elves may be the best warriors in the imperial army besides the gods' favored ones. They have the sensitivity and agility of elves, the perseverance and fanaticism of humans, and their mastery of magic and martial arts to an astonishing level. In fact, even among the favored ones of the ancient gods, the proportion of half-elves is much higher than that of ordinary humans. It is said that there are four half-elves among the twelve royal forest champions in the imperial court. However, there are still discrepancies between legends and facts. In fact, the life span of elves is not as long as imagined. Except for some legendary holy masters and peak sword masters, the lives of most elven nobles will not exceed four years. Most of the ordinary civilians who constitute the main body of elf society live less than 300 years old. It is also normal for people to die of aging just after 200 years old. Although according to legend, the great elves who saved the Phoenix King in the first generation had lifespans of thousands, even two, or three thousand years, which was longer than the history of the Sigma Empire, that was already a thing of the past thousands of years ago, and the myths are not the same. There is no difference. But no matter what, even two hundred years of life is beyond the reach of humans who only have sixty or seventy years of life. Half-elves may have turned their hundreds of years of life into war blood. In fact, most of the half-elf bloodlines in the empire come from the crystallization of elven male civilians and human females. Their long lives and youth often leave seeds in their loneliness. Human men who can win the favor of elf girls are as rare as a feather, and even the great nobles of the empire often have difficulty getting what they want. Because a marriage with a commoner cannot leave any descendants with inheritance rights, and a marriage with an elven noble is almost unimaginable, because the proud elven nobles almost never marry women from their families. But Princess Anna¡¯s great-grandfather, who is also Hyde¡¯s great-grandfather, is a special case.?, he miraculously married a noble girl from a high elf. According to Catherine, when he was the captain of a four-deck battleship, the prince of Tubalo won the heart of a high elf noble girl because of his heroic victory in destroying the dark elf battleship and saving hundreds of lives on the entire elf ship. The wedding a hundred years ago sent Tubalo into a frenzied celebration.
