"My lord, why do you purposely send away all the other captains away and leave only two of us within the camp ?"
Wang Yan feeling weird, but he could not guess exactly what his lord trying to do.
"During the moment I return, I found out that there are a few markings and a route that came with some footprints and threading marks."
"Through this two signs, I can easily guess their action during day and night."
"As I notice, there are many special skills used by the elves, so I expect there will be somebody with the ability to see through our movement during the night or somebody that can move around us stealthily, and assassinate everybody without a sound."
"If we are going to face such opponent during our most vulnerable time, why not we prepare a trap to allow them to make a wrong decision ?"
Altima finishes his word, enlightening Ganesha and especially Wang Yan, who is the slower among two.
"Oh! That’s why my lord commands the other 8 captains to lead their troops out for a 100 miles distance before they charge back to the camp with ready to fight stance."
Wang Yan finally has gotten Altima's strategy.
"My Lord, but if the Elves take action first, how do we lead our troops to remain defensive until the others return ?"
Ganesha quickly asks for a solution from Altima, as they are currently acting as a bait to lure the elves within the encampment.
"I already have all of the sentry troops holding a piece of Water Dragon Cannon with a confining formation. When time comes, they will apply the Water Dragon Cannon and go into a defensive square formation, while the Li sister, which I position them on top of the mountain, will help defend our position."
Altima explains the strategy while looking on the mountain gorge beside their encampment.
Earlier before Altima return, he had Mobi scan and do a geography mapping to determine how do he going to fight this war. Along with his path, Altima ran across two dots during Mobi's Mapping and easily determine the Elves village location.
As the explanation is over, the 10,000 strong troops get ready for the elves tribe ambush, which came with a loud war cry from the elves side. A total number of at least 5,000 Elves suddenly appeared from the other side of the forest, and up to Altima's expectation, some of them channeling a few different Heritage Laws along their path.
(Yang Essence Arrow Armament!) (Yin Essence Dart Armament!)
(Yang Essence Fireball Armament!) (Heavy Earth Spear Armament!)
(Speed Run Armament!) (Shadow Passing Armament!)
(Exploding Fireball Armament!) (Freezing Breath Armament!)
As the elves came into the perimeters, a large number of different Armament quickly strike into the encampment formation, where a few unprepared troops quickly get injured by the strong offensive power possess by the elves.
But even facing such strong assault, Altima's side doesn’t even budge!
"Come on you Elves! Bring on the challenge!"
The troops lead by Altima quickly turn around the tide, with a ratio of Human 2:1 Elf, the tides are still favorable to the humans. By utilizing the Water Dragon Cannon with the 23 formations, Stripping Hexagram, the troops quickly choose those elves with Heritage Laws and immobilize them before the troops charge forward and capture them.
Seeing such change of battle, the elf finally realize what is going on. The humans are not as ignorant as they think!
(Humans is capturing people with Ritual blessing! Quickly stop them from joining the fight!)
One elder among the elves quickly pass a message around, but quickly decapitated by Altima without any mercy. Still holding the head, Altima quietly allows Mobi to Apply his brainwave reading before moving to look for another target. While for the prisoner, With the Water Dragon Cannon attached to their body, they are totally stripped from any resistance, while only be able to be tossed around when the fight starting to lean on the human's side of victory.
(Run! Run quickly!)
The elves started to escape into the forest, at the moment, about 200 elves that have Mural Tattoo or be seen chanting for the Heritage Laws initiation had been captured, while around 1,000 elves is dead under the heavy resistance caused by Altima's troop.
But as the remaining 3,800 elves escape, another hellish result awaits them.
(Many Human appear within the forest! Stop going into the forest!)
A few elves started to get captured before they manage to retaliate.

The remaining 38,000 Wu Di Royal Troops finally return from their fake exploration!
With the ratio different of 10 : 1, the elves quickly surrendered.
Gathered along in the middle of the camp, Altima summons Ta-Ruk out to investigate and do his questioning. Unfortunately, as Ta-Ruk position is too low within the elven Tribe, they decided to ignore Ta-Ruk's question instead. But all things change as Altima utilize the WU Di Long Fist to ruthlessly pierce 10 male elves chest, leading them to death directly from one strike.
Afraid to getting the same fate as the unlucky 10 Elves, they started to answer Ta-Ruk's question one by one. But as the questionnaire goes along, Altima and the other team killed at least another 100 of them each time any of the elves started to bring their attitude above their fragile head.
The next morning, Altima and their troops finally manage to clear the question regarding the closest Elven Tribe. As there is too many retaliation going on along the interrogations, Almost 4,000 elves are killed, becoming brain juice drink for Mobi, while the remaining 300 among them is held, due to the ritual blessing, and another 700 is elites Elf which had been subdued by Altima personally.

Threat Level: 3rd Stage Spiritual Practitioner of Zen Tier
After inspecting all the elves available in the captivity, Altima notices the slight difference between them. 700 exactly of them are elites, while among the 300, only 2 is Karmic elves. The karmic elves are significantly older than the others as well, perhaps their status within the village is quite a high ranking.
But regretfully, the elves decided that they will not be subdued by the humans no matter what offer or threat is given. Although the troops felt hesitate to slaughter all the elves, but within this world, only the strong is allowed to live, while the weak one could only crawl or beg for their life.
Within that one night, after Altima finish reading their brainwave and obtain sufficient knowledge from all of them. The elves are all quietly put to sleep. Through using the mixture of a special mixture the human use to obtain blood pellet from demonic beast, all the elves is fed with the Blood Pellet Creation Salve, and a mixture of Golden Hypnotizing Flower Essence, the elves blood are all drained, and kept in a few especially used to keep fresh blood pellets container, before placed inside a spatial ring.
Just through this night, Almost all of the Troops under Altima command lost their spirit for the first time.
Slaughter.
This is totally a slaughtering without any mercy.
Any without any choices, they are required to march by the next morning to subdue the village which located nearby, to eliminate the possibility of further revenge or future threats brought by the remaining elves. Under Altima supervision, the troops belong to him are not as savage or wild like other commanders.
Some other commanders from the Wu Di Royal Faction do surrender themselves to lust, pillaging, and slaughtering if they are dispatch to the battlefield. Although the action is immoral, but one could not hesitate and choose to be cruel if they wish to expand their territories.
"Everyone, Listen."
Altima speaks loudly, on the next morning.
"There will be an Elven Village up ahead. Which contained with families and friends and elders of those we kill last night."
"There will be treasures to plunder, Cultivation ingredient, or even Female elves that ready to be raped, killed and ravaged by us once we captured."
"Their villages will be burned, their land will be trampled, and their everything, will be lost and required to be rebuild once again."
"But!"
"This is not what I want!"
Altima shouted.
"I don’t lead the troops here so we could slaughter and enslave them!"
"I don’t lead you guys here so we can burn their village, kill their families, and rape whoever we saw!"
"We are not Animals! We are not even Demonic Beast!"
"If who among you guys are not agreeing with me in this matter, Stand up and come out!"
"I will personally send you away, and kick you out from my Troops!"
"If you guys wish to trample over my body and go ahead with your revenge, Slaughter, Lust and Greed, wield your weapon, and come fight over my dead body!"
With his word finished, Altima withdraws his Wave Surging Spear and prepare to see his troops choices.
One minute.
Ten minutes.
An hour.
Time passed.
Ganesha stands and started to speak.
"My lord, do you think we do not know your ache and hesitation ?"
"Yes. My lord, if we easily succumb to all this negative and sinful attractions, where would we be now ?"
One captain stands and states his mind.
"We are elites of Earl Altima!"
The most left flank stands and shout."
"We fight for the Wu Di Royal Family!"
The most right flanks stand as well.
"We are Soldiers, We are not Bandits!"
The left flank in the middle stands.
"We are human! We are not Beast!"
The right flank in the middle stands.
"We Fight for making Lan Shen Dalu one whole family, we are not Slaughterers!"
The center flank, which personally led by Altima, stands last.
"If in that case, Troops!"
"Follow me, subdue the Village, if they wish to surrender, we will accept it."
"If they retaliate, we will kill, if they offer, we will take!"
"let us walk past this obstacle, and lead the Wu Di Royal Family to their most glorious moment!"
As Altima finish his speech, the troops finally march toward the direction where the village located.
Little do all of them know, after this incident, the Histoire of Records within the Wu Di's Heritage enlist this incident as:
"The Birth of External Department of Justice and Law, Lan Shen Dalu!"
