Compared to the battle intent that had risen in Eredar's heart when he faced Yalveth earlier, he felt hardly any fighting spirit at all now that he was facing Xie Liancheng and Zhou Chongshan.
Although the peak of the Vajra Realm and the Vertical and Horizontal Realm were separated by only a single barrier, the difference between them was worlds apart.
From the standpoint of combat power, Eredar of the Vertical and Horizontal Realm did not need to take the two of them seriously at all.
Having him fight two Vajra Realm warriors—even peak Vajra Realm warriors—was no different from bullying them.
But from the standpoint of a faction, it gave Eredar a clear sense of the depth of Great Zhou's strength.
As the leader of the Dark Elves, Eredar had recently come to deeply understand that a faction could not simply rely on having a strong enough leader and call it a day.
If that were all it took, he might very well find himself in a situation where he alone had to hold up the sky.
Take his last night raid on Elf Port, for example.
He had fought two enemies by himself, while Delar had also been driven back by the opposing Saint Realm Mage.
If he had possessed more Vajra Realm or Saint Realm combatants under his command at the time, the situation would most likely have been completely different.
But there was no point dwelling on that issue now.
After having Yalveth arrange for someone to take Eredar and the others to settle into their dormitory, Zhou Xu took Xie Liancheng and Zhou Chongshan to reminisce about old times.
"His Majesty, that Dark Elf is in the Vertical and Horizontal Realm, right?"
After they had walked some distance away, Xie Liancheng could not help asking.
