Countless pairs of stunned eyes stared at the huge shadow that stood in the middle of the forest—it could no longer be described as stunned. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Power is secondary, what is really terrifying is its deterrent power, just looking at it makes people dare not resist at all!

At more than thirty meters, even the ogre looked incomparably small at its feet, not to mention ordinary elves and humans, not even ants at that time.

But none of this was the reason why Loren ordered the retreat - in the face of such a huge monster, the entire expedition team simply did not have any effective means of counterattack, and could not even resist.

Because there is no tree in the center of the withered forest settlement that can be taller than it, and the spear that the war dancers rely on to fight is not even a toothpick in front of this monster!

The stunned war dancers froze in place as if they were completely dumbfounded, staring at the monster with fear in their eyes, not even hearing Loren's orders - even Leah, who had always thought she would not be afraid, stopped on the trunk of the tree tremblingly.

This is "Madza", this is the evil god we are fighting against, and it is impossible to win......

The emerald green pupils continued to contract in fear, and the female elf seemed to feel that there was already an auditory hallucination in her ears, and a voice kept calling her name.

Leah... Leah ...... Yes, it's the voice, it's because I... Are you going to die?

Maybe you'll be able to meet Yuena, and ......

"Leah-!!!"

"Ahh!!!h

The female elf, who was suddenly hugged by the shoulder, turned her head suddenly, and saw not death, but a black-haired wizard who was already going crazy, screaming in tears.

"Go and call Izuria and Kono back, immediately!" Loren's eyes widened, and almost every word was roaring: "The battle is over, let's retreat!"

"Yes!" Liya shouted out without hesitation, and hurriedly rushed in the direction of the settlement, not arguing with this guy as usual, only the other party's orders were left in her mind.

Slightly relieved, Loren immediately turned and ran to the main force of the expedition, regrouping the war dancers, preparing to take the opportunity to break through the entire withered forest.

The moment "Metzca" appeared, the battle was over - in the face of such a monster, it would be a massacre that could not resist the expedition, not to mention the dozens of ogres in the settlement, Loren had no chance at all!

But at least the ogres around the settlement had been cleared, and the expedition didn't have to continue fighting at all, so they could pass through the withered forest and continue in the direction of the Eternal Night Forest.

All Loren was thinking about now was to get out of this place as soon as possible, especially far from this monster - it was true that this monster that suddenly appeared was ridiculously strong, but there was definitely a limit to how long it could exist. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been as simple as the destruction of the big tree wall last time, but the entire Wind Chaser Forest would have been destroyed!

A heavy roar rang out from behind him, and the entire forest seemed to tremble with every step the monster took - and with a flick of his arm, entire rows of trees turned into ruins.

This is definitely not a force that you can fight against now!

Having wiped out the last bit of luck in his heart, Loren, who had made up his mind, sounded the horn of assembly.

A quarter of an hour later, the ordered War Dancers began to assemble in the predetermined direction, preparing to break out of the withered forest. It's just a scattered formation, and I can't see the courage at the beginning.

They were now just numbly carrying out the order, and after seeing the figure of the monster, the war dancers of the expedition were no longer as confident as they had been at the beginning, and they had not yet recovered from the panic, and their eyes were palpitating, and only a deep fear remained.

A few of the war dancers knelt on the ground, silently praying to the ancestors of their respective settlements, while many more looked blank and waited for the team to assemble and begin to break through, while the rest found a corner around them, silently looking at the ground and listening to the roar that pierced their eardrums.

Loren, who was standing in a tree not far away, waited anxiously, "Metzaca" would find them at any time, and if they didn't retreat as soon as possible, they would probably have to consider leaving behind the broken warriors.

Even if there is not the slightest hesitation in the bottom of my heart, it does not mean that I can't feel pain - how can I not have the slightest burden to let others die for me?

However, if you use "Transcendent Perception", you should be able to use "Bright Silver......

"Don't be so reckless if you don't want to die here, my dear Loren. The "young man" sitting on the tree stared at him with an unprecedentedly serious expression: "It hasn't discovered your existence yet, and you're still safe!"

"I'm safe, if that monster is killed now, I'm going to die!"

"Then let someone else die for you, they're all ready to die anyway!" Asrael's voice was extremely calm, and for the first time, a hideous expression appeared on his delicate face: "You are much more important than them, you must not die here!"

"A lot of people will die. ”

"What does that have to do with you?!" The young man's scarlet eyes exuded a murderous aura: "If you don't kill 'Metzka', half of the elves of the Ancient Wood Forest will die at its hands, then the Deep Wood Castle, and then Vimpal, and your academy will be reduced to ashes in front of the ogre army!"

"At the end of the day, we're all going to die without a place to bury. Neither I nor you will be let go of Mezka easily - believe me, it will completely swallow your consciousness and then completely descend on this world with your body, and that will be the real disaster!"

"Throw away the last shred of pity and sympathy, dear friend. The young man turned his head, and his figure turned into a black feather eagle: "This fight is just a small episode before the big battle!"

Loren, whose left hand was already on the hilt of his "Bright Silver" sword, trembled half of his shoulder, gritting his teeth - he might have a chance to kill this monster now, drag the ogres who caught up, and buy time for the expedition to break through.

It only takes a short time to hold on, and the monster itself will disappear without a trace, and the casualties of the expedition will be greatly reduced, or even ......

Slowly releasing his palm, Loren's heart was calming and he stared indifferently into the distance - there were only two minutes left, and if the remaining war dancers hadn't arrived, the expedition must begin to break through.

Whoever it is, the black-haired wizard won't wait any longer.

...... Finally, at the last minute, Leah and Isuria finally arrived at the scheduled assembly site in time with the remnants of the War Dancers.

The soldiers of the expedition who rushed into the settlement were almost confronted by the sudden appearance of "Metzka", and they were immediately attacked by the ogre, and they were able to break out only after Leah, who arrived in time, and several war dancers took out the surrounding ogre.

Although it still paid a lot of casualties, at least the vast majority were saved, which is a blessing in misfortune...... It's just that there seems to be one less.

"Where's Kono?" the stunned black-haired wizard grabbed Isuria, who was half-crouching on the ground gasping: "Where is Kono, he can't be dead, right?!"

"Kono leader him, he ......" Isuria, whose face was dark, kept trembling, and she couldn't even speak clearly, and there was only a gray look in her eyes: "We ......"

"What the hell is going on?!!"

"He doesn't want to go!" the female elf suddenly shouted, her eyes reddened, and she gritted her teeth to prevent herself from crying: "Said to buy us time, and stay there alone!"

Loren, who slowly turned his face, let go of Isuria with his right hand, and the young war dancer collapsed to the ground.

He said the last time he survived the destruction of the Great Tree Wall was because he had escaped. Liya turned her head away: "He also said that he didn't want to run away this time!"

The atmosphere of grief froze, and there was only a dead silence around them......

The war dancers slowly raised their heads, their fists pressed their right hands to their chests, and spontaneously mourned in the direction of the withered forest settlement.

Is that how you got my life back?" Kono ...... What a proud guy.

Loren, who clenched the "heart of the tree", was expressionless, his eyes looked at the soldiers of the expedition, and his eyes returned to calm:

"Let's go!"
