As for Wright's thoughts, Shilke had undoubtedly guessed them long ago, so he was not surprised in the slightest. He readily agreed to the matter.
"Of course, that's no problem."
However, from Shilke's perspective, this could hardly be considered a particularly good solution.
From Eredar's perspective, knowing that there were two Vertical and Horizontal Realm warriors here, he certainly would not come unless he had found a way to deal with them.
But the problem was that he could not stay in the Elf Forest forever.
As His Majesty put it, this was a case of "Who can steal for a thousand days, or guard against thieves for a thousand days?"
Wright might never have heard that saying, but he could not possibly fail to understand the principle behind it.
In Shilke's opinion, the best solution was to have Great Zhou send powerful warriors and troops to establish a garrison here, then build fortifications along the coast.
That way, the moment the Dark Elves' Black Sail Warships appeared, they could immediately unleash Firepower Suppression and prevent the enemy from landing.
This would effectively curb the threat at the troop level.
Under such circumstances, if Eredar still wanted to launch an offensive, he would have no choice but to fly over by releasing his true qi.
That would be equivalent to making the enemy expend a wave of energy before the battle even began.
Even if the enemy flew over afterward, he would be fighting alone, while their side could surround him with powerful warriors and gain the upper hand.
To put it plainly, the Elf race no longer had the strength to deal with this situation calmly—but that did not mean Great Zhou was incapable of doing so.
In fact, from Shilke's perspective, he genuinely wanted to dismantle the threat
