The migrating group of over a thousand elves, including women and children, had eighty percent who could fight. This showed the terrifying war mobilization potential of the Elven Race. It was a pity their ability to have children was very poor. Otherwise, even during the time of the Great Elven Civilization, after many wars, humans could not have replaced the elves to become the new rulers of Faerûn.
The core of the migrating group consisted of the leaders of the two large migrating tribes. They gathered most of the elven Mages, Priests, and Druids. There were also some great antlered deer pulling covered wagons. These wagons carried a small number of backup weapons and arrows, but most of the space was for food supplies.
The horses of the Moon Elf Tribe were too precious, but the great antlered deer in the forest were plentiful. These animals were gentle and their stamina was not worse than horses. Besides not being suitable as mounts, they had no problems pulling wagons and carrying things. As for the covered wagons, they were even simpler. The elves did not lack skill. Every one of them could build a tree house from nothing, so a small covered wagon was naturally no problem either.
Qin Lun initially wanted to join the patrol Rangers on the outskirts. Although he was now an awakened descendant of the royal family and could attend the Council of Elders, he was still a hunter, not a physically weak Mage or Priest. There was no reason for him to stay in the inner part of the group and receive protection.
However, Great Elder Adeline asked him to stay by her side. The patrol teams on the outskirts wouldn’t miss one more or one less person. His role was more significant staying with the Great Elder.
