Kingdom of Kildan, southern border region, Wailing Forest.

At Venegia's suggestion, Arthur and the others embark on a journey, along with Joan, Huey, Arya, Eleanne, and Princess Ten. Except for Winnie herself alone, it's more like a group honeymoon.

What appeared before everyone was a withered forest, with sparse trees, gray-green leaves hanging half-dead low, dead grass on the ground that was short to the ankle, no birds flying in the forest, and few insects singing in the grass. The wind whined through the woods, like the last breath of a dying man.

It is absolutely not normal for such a forest to appear in the kingdom of Kildan, where there is abundant vegetation and abundant rain.

Elani, the elf in the group, suddenly shed tears unconsciously.

"What's wrong with you?" asked Joan, concerned as she stood beside the elf.

"I heard the cries, the cries of countless dead elves. ”

"Do dead elves still cry, and even if they become necromancy, all they have left is howling, right?" Arthur interjected in confusion.

"Alrani hears the cries of dead elves, but we Terrans don't feel it. Winnie answered Arthur's doubts.

"You've been here before?"

"No, but I've heard legends about it. Countless elves died in battle, and they died with a strong belief in protecting their homeland. Although the elves died in battle, their spiritual power did not disperse, and they have been lingering in this forest. Every grass, tree, and animal in this forest has been affected by these spiritual powers, and although they are alive, they have lost hope of living, which is why we see this withered and lifeless appearance!"

Arthur, Joan, Huey, and others all exclaimed in unison.

"No way! All living beings will dissipate their spirits after they die, and even if they have strong obsessions, they will only become dead spirits, and there will never be a situation where the spirit will not dissipate for thousands of years. Arthur was the first to question.

Venagia shrugged her shoulders, "The facts are right in front of you, you can't help it if you don't believe it, maybe we can find out the reason by the way this time." With that, the first one walked into the forest.

Arthur stood still, "Arya, purify." ”

Arya did as she was told, scattering a large expanse of light into the forest ahead, but nothing happened.

Arya shook her head at Arthur slightly, meaning that there were no necromancy or dark creatures, otherwise the "purification" magic would have reacted.

Arthur smiled helplessly, and had to follow Winnie's footsteps towards the forest.

Because of the sparse trees, almost everything in the forest can be seen at a glance. Nearly a thousand years have passed since that war, and even the remnants of the battlefield can no longer be found in this forest.

I walked into the forest for half a day, and I didn't see even a slightly larger beast, let alone anything of value. Because of the drab colors and lifeless environment of the forest, everyone else is starting to be less interested except for Venegia, who is still keeping an eye on the search.

The Ten Princesses even began to suggest stopping for a picnic, and she really thought of the trip to the forest as a trip with Huey.

Winnie suggested, "We should be almost in the middle of the forest after a little further walk, and we have heard that there are remnants of the old fortress there, and we can go there to rest." ”

None of the people raised objections, after all, even the weakest ten princesses were already the strength of a fifth-level martial artist, and a journey was not a burden to anyone.

What everyone didn't expect was that everyone walked for nearly two hours on this part of the road in Winnie's mouth, and the sun even began to turn westward, and the tenth princess was already grumbling with hunger, so they arrived at the place that Winnie said.

Scattered rubble, half-man-tall, moss-covered broken walls give a faint hint of a castle that once was.

The ten princesses, who were almost tired and paralyzed, directly found a slightly flat stone, sat down regardless of the image, and the others also found a place to rest first. Only Venicia continued to search tirelessly, as if she could find some treasure in this place.

Arthur, who had taken a break, got up to get food for everyone first, and he took out a large pot directly from the bracelet.

Huey also helped, using a gun to pick dozens of old bricks from the broken wall on the side, and helped Arthur build a simple stove under the pot.

Arthur lit the fire under the pot when Gru's squeaky was heard next to him. Arthur turned his head to find Gru digging through the broken wall that Huey had just picked.

After spending so much time together, Arthur already understood what Gru was trying to say, "Dig up the rest of the bricks, there seems to be something down here?"

Huey's golden gun was filled with an inch-long spear, and in a few strokes it completely cleared the severed wall from the ground, revealing the heavy foundation underneath.

The guns skyrocketed, and a shot stabbed the ground fiercely, dirt and gravel flew wildly, and the explosive fighting spirit exploded into a two-meter-deep crater.

The crowd gathered at the edge of the pit looked down, but there was nothing. Gru was still squeaking at the bottom of the pit.

"I'll do it. Arthur quickly built a magic circle and slapped it on the ground, and the earth shook violently.

After the mid-level earth-based magic "Seismic", there is still no change on the ground.

Arthur's unyielding character came up, and he performed two "earthquake techniques" in succession, and when the palm of his hand slapped the ground for the third time, there was a boom, and the ground under everyone's feet suddenly collapsed, and everyone fell down.

Fortunately, the height of the collapse was not high, and before everyone could react, they all fell to the ground and got up one by one. When Arya lit up a ball of light, everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them.

What appeared in front of me was an abandoned subterranean world, a vast expanse of ground that stretched forward, strewn with shattered blades and weathered bones. But this world is only a few meters high, and there is a thick layer of soil on top of it, as if adding a large lid to the space.

"Finally found it, it's true!" Winnie muttered in a low voice.

"You already know this place, don't you? That's what you're looking for, right?" Arthur finally figured out what Winnie was trying to do for her trip to the Grove of Grievances.

"No, I don't know. I'm just speculating that there should be an ancient battlefield here. Unexpectedly, the elven clan built the fortress directly on the battlefield and buried this battlefield directly. ”

"Is the ancient battlefield older than the war between the Terrans and the Elves?"

"It was the same time as the war at the end of the Sauron Gorge. Winnie's answer stunned everyone.

"Then how did you know about the existence of this battlefield?"

"I can't explain it to you yet, so let's see what's left here, shall we?" said Winnie.

Gru suddenly squeaked again.

Arthur's face suddenly turned strange, "Gru means there are other people here, other elves like him to be exact!"
