The High Elves, so eager to return home at this moment, still did not know about the tragic cold reception their once-renowned fleet commander, General Ahmed, had received in the New Continent. He had donned a leather head cover and followed the Drow Kraidian, raising young dragons for nearly a year.
They also didn't know that what mostly awaited them on the other side was 'indifference' and 'cold-heartedness.' Under the combined pressure of the Elf King's decree and the Red Dragon's Dragon Might, few Elves would dare to openly accept these 'slain' Undead.
Of course, even under such circumstances, there likely wouldn't be many High Elves willing to return to the Old Continent to serve David; even one-tenth would be an optimistic estimate.
Most of them, according to David's prediction, would probably—like that Patrol Guard captain from years ago—smuggle themselves to the human nations of Central Earth with the secret help of their families and become mercenaries.
