In Aitalia, the Greytree is a level 27 large creature, but just like humans, the level refers to the knowledge, experience, mastery and acquired growth of individual creatures, but the talents and physical aptitudes of different creatures are of course different. Just as a level 20 rock shark can drive several level 20 or so teams to the ground, a level 1 human is certainly no match for a level 1 giant or dragon.

Of course, giants and dragons are special creatures, and their strong bloodlines have endowed them with a lot of innate knowledge and abilities, and even if they are just born, their juvenile bodies are rarely only level 1.

But there are differences between creatures, and that's obvious - with a few exceptions, large creatures are superior to humans in terms of strength, protection, and vitality, and even if they are slightly less agile than the Grey Tree, that's relative to specially trained warriors - and they're also superior to normal people and less melee spellcasters.

The Electors roughly divided the creatures of Aitaria into five levels according to their level of danger, ordinary creatures, large creatures (such as the Greytree and various behemoths), legendary creatures (dragons, giants), pseudo-gods and god-level creatures, and of course, the last level is really used to refer to the power of the gods at the first level.

On top of these categories, there are also distinctions such as elites, lords and individual leaders, etc., these divisions are from the hands of the Electors, of course, they are not necessarily authoritative and accurate, but they also roughly encompass the strength level of tens of millions of creatures large and small in Aitalia, which can be used as a reference for the Electors-

Therefore, the level 27 of the Gray Tree is certainly not the level 27 of a human that can be measured, and it is about enough to add about 3 levels up. As an elite warrior among the Treants, Shortbeard is even more of a standout, it is also the so-called elite individual, and the level is higher than that of the average adult Grey Treeman, reaching level 30.

It was furious, and nature was not to be underestimated, and the power of nature radiated from every dead branch of the tall gray tree man, seeping into the surrounding dirt like a green ripple visible to the naked eye. With it as the center, almost all the plants within a radius of 100 meters were growing wildly, and arm-thick vines and thorns broke through the ground and stretched out to every human in the vicinity.

Shortbeard didn't distinguish between targets, and even the people of the Holy White Stone Guild were within its attack range, and the lower-ranking members of the Holy White Stone Guild were immediately killed, and they were dragged from the ground and hung upside down in the air.

The leader of the Holy White Stone was quick with his hands, and with a single sword, he cut through a thorn that entwined one of his men. He looked up, and the two young treants didn't pay attention to them, and walked directly past them, walking in the direction of the Twilight Guild.

But their real opponents—no more than these people from the Sacred White Stone Guild, the men sent by Twilight were obviously the elite of the guild, and maybe even the members of the brigade, and the level was at least twenty-five or higher—although they were still not as good as the Grey Tree people, they were outnumbered, about twenty people.

The elemental envoy opened his five fingers and spewed flames from his fingertips—a spell in the five rings, and the same fire system below the three rings couldn't even hurt the vines—but this spell was different, and the thorns quickly withered and turned into ashes under the rolling flames.

Then the Twilight Guild sent seven or eight more Great Swordsmen and Iron Guards to rush down, entangled the two young treants.

The Ranger changed the arrows in the back and installed the arrow cluster of fire crystals, and the physical attack had little effect on the Treant, but the elemental damage was not necessarily. The dry, hard skin of the Treants could withstand swords and arrows, but was fragile and flammable in the face of flames.

Two young Treant Guards drove away the Twilight Guild's swordsmen and Iron Guards like flies, but they only knocked one or two people away with a vigorous wave of their long arms. The rangers raised their longbows and released their bowstrings, leaving several golden-red trails beneath the ground, several of which accurately hit the tall treants.

Flames rose up, and the Treant Guardians withdrew their claws to slap the flames on their bodies, and the Swordsmen and Iron Guards swarmed up to give them no chance.

Seeing this, Shortbeard put away the spells that didn't work, and joined the battle with a roar. But on the Twilight Guild's side, the two higher-ranking Electors on the left and the right beside the leading man came to stop it at this moment.

The battle was at a stalemate for a while, but the short-bearded side could not change the situation of the numerical disadvantage. After knocking down several Iron Guards in succession, the two young Treant Guards were almost as bright as a giant torch.

The raging flames not only scorched their skin, but also greedily devoured their life force like maggots on tarsal bones—

A Treant Guard grabbed the greatsword in the hand of a great swordsman and scooped him up from the ground before the other could react, slamming it into the dirt. But the blow seemed to have used up its last strength, and the flaming arm snapped with a 'click', and it lost its support and fell to the ground, never to get up again.

It's just like a piece of charcoal with flames dancing on its body.

The other Treant Guardian went mad in the flames, spreading its arms and rushing into the crowd like a burning man, but the Twilight Guild retreated, not giving it a chance.

Shortbeard let out a long sigh at this scene, and Mu Ran's eyes showed a look of determination, as if it was completely disappointed in these humans, and raised its arms to wave away the two people in front of him, and then plunged his arms into the dirt. Emerald green light surged from the old treeman's chest, and in an instant, the thorns that had grown wildly around him withered, and the people of the Holy White Stone Guild hanging on it also fell down one by one.

But they even forgot the pain - everyone looked up at the scene, and the scene seemed familiar to them.

……

Fang, Alice, and the big cat man, as well as Kita and Gollum, slide down the dark forest to the edge of the forest, and see exactly what they see.

Although they promised to leave the grunt at the entrance of the cave, the little monster himself could not be relieved of its master, the heart of the tree, Moon Arit, of course, the main reason was that it was afraid of being alone, so in the end it hesitated to follow.

Fang Yu had actually seen the battle below through the clockwork goblin a long time ago, but he didn't recognize that the other party was the old tree man Shortbeard who saved the Holy White Stone Guild that day, but Alice recognized the other party at a glance. When the nightingale girl saw the old treeman's movements, she immediately rushed to rush forward as soon as she gritted her teeth and drew a dagger from behind.

But the big cat man behind him grabbed Alice's arm and dragged her back: "Don't worry. ”

"That's Shortbeard," Alice looked a little anxious for the first time, "it saved us, and I can't afford to watch it die here!" ”

"The people of twilight have just fought with us, and the other party was three people at that time, and you should know what level they are approximately," the big cat man said calmly, while looking out of the forest with gray eyes, "And now there are more than twenty people outside, have you figured it out?" ”

Alice gritted her teeth, of course knowing that it would be useless for her to rush forward.

And Red was unusually calm: "We have to look for a better opportunity to cut in. ”

"It's too late......"

The big cat seemed to see at a glance the girl's kind nature under the alienation that the girl deliberately showed, and shook his head: "Things are still turning around, I suggest you take a look at it patiently." ”

Alice was slightly stunned and couldn't help but look forward.

As if he hadn't heard the conversation between the two, Fang Yu looked straight ahead, and silently waved his hand behind him—in the darkness, four structures with red light were slowly coming out of the bushes.

In the direction of the trio's field of vision, changes are happening abruptly.

When the short beard gradually merged with nature and gradually became a part of the earth, suddenly there was an earth-shattering roar behind it, and the head of the Holy White Stone Guild became larger, as if he was a little giant, and the blood of the berserker was surging in his body at that moment, and he screamed wildly, rushed over and crashed into the old tree man,

The threefold force of the berserk slammed into the short beard, and the claws of the branches were withdrawn from the dirt, and the spell was terminated, and the power of nature flowed back to the center of the earth. Shortbeard looked at each other angrily and said angrily, "You are going to stop me too!?" ”

"That's enough," the leader of the White Stone gasped, looking at it with blood-red eyes. Covered in knotted muscles and his robe almost completely stretched, he turned around and shouted to the people of the Twilight Guild on the high ground, "Enough! ”

"You've got the quest items," the leader of the Sacred White Stone gasped as he replied, "There's no need to kill them all again, you can leave this place." ”

With a heavy thud, the last of the Treant Guards took a few steps forward and collapsed after being completely charred.

The battle was over, and there was some silence around for a while. The people of the Holy White Stone Guild were getting up from the ground and looking at their leader. Time Reflection clenched the magic wand in his hand, gritted his teeth at this scene, and wanted to throw the weapon to the ground.

What is the point of such a battle for them?

Shortbeard looked at his young clan, Mu Ran's eyes couldn't help but show a trace of sadness, it looked at the humans who stopped in front of him, and suddenly opened his mouth in a hoarse voice: "...... Holy Chosen, it's not a quest item, it's the Heart of the Mountain, don't let them take it with you...... It's about Nognes' aetheric balance......"

"Don't listen to its nonsense," said the man on the high ground with an understatement, "they're just tree people, in other words, monsters outside of civilization." The ancient legends that circulate between them, mostly exaggerated - of course, this is a good thing, the heart of the mountain - contains untold power, with which we can even resurrect the Floating City. ”

He looked at the box in his hand a little obsessively, and then looked away and looked at the other party: "But if it weren't for that, how could we use our share of this mining area to exchange this task with you." The exchange is equivalent, you won't regret it, right? ”

"I say, that's enough," said the head of the Holy White Stone coldly, "I don't care about what you need, and I don't intend to go back. But now that you've got what you want, get out of this place. ”

"We want to leave," replied the man, "but Mr. Captain, do you think these tree men are willing to let us go?" ”

"You must not leave," replied Shortbeard in a hoarse voice, "the heart of the mountain must remain in this place." ”

The leader of the Holy White Stone couldn't help but smile bitterly and looked back, he shook his head, this was already the limit of what he could do. In fact, he is also indispensable to take responsibility, and the blatant break with his allies in the mission can be big or small.

But fortunately, most of the team still supported him, and everyone was silent at this time, which actually said everything.

It's just that he was turning his head when he suddenly saw the magician not far away showing a frightened look towards him - Time Reflection was shouting: "Commander, watch the back!" ”

It turned out that the moment he turned around, the elemental envoy of the Twilight Guild suddenly raised his staff and shot a golden fireball in this direction.

The two mages beside the leader of the Holy White Stone opened their shields almost immediately, but it was still a little too late, and the surging flames passed through the hexagonal grid that was being bridged, and also through the shoulders of the former, and hit the body of the shortbeard who was caught off guard behind.

Shortbeard screamed, and his upper body was immediately enveloped in raging flames.

"Elemental, extinguish the fire!"

The leader of the Holy White Stone was furious, if it weren't for himself, with the strength of the other party, he might not be hit by this fireball. But it was too late to say anything, and he turned around angrily: "What do you mean!? ”

"Mother-in-law doesn't look like a man," replied the elemental contemptuously, "we'll help you decide, please save some time, do you think it's an outing?" ”

This sentence made the faces of everyone in the Holy White Stone Guild change greatly.

The man on the high ground then grabbed his companion and spoke:

"You've thought about it, if you make a move on us at this time, our previous agreement will be null and void - can you afford your guild's losses? Come to think of it, you've all made it this far, wouldn't it be naïve to look back here now that the Greytree people are not guilty of your past. ”

The threat seemed to have had an effect.

Amid the sound of the peeling flames, the surroundings were eerily quiet.

The leader of the Holy White Stone Guild turned around, the beating light reflected on his face, a complicated look written on it, and he gritted his teeth slightly.

"What are you doing?" He squeezed out the sentence almost word by word, "Can't you hear my orders, put out the fire." ”

The voice was not high, but it was very clear in the darkness of the earth.

The elemental made the look on his face stiffen: "You dare? ”

But the regiment commander didn't pay attention to him at all, just looked at each of his own people, and quietly ordered: "Magician, open the shield, reflect time, and notify the people outside to come in, we are not their opponents." ”

Time Reflection opened its mouth wide:

"But the head of the regiment ......"

"I'll take the responsibility, and you just have to carry out the order."

At that moment, the people of the Holy White Stone seemed to have recovered the backbone of the Lord, and an inexplicable light flashed in everyone's eyes.

The people of the Twilight Guild on the high ground finally realized that the other party was playing the real game, and they pulled the wounded back one after another, and the elemental envoys and rangers also gave the order to attack. However, everything in front of them was so bizarre that everyone couldn't help but look at their leader first.

The man took a deep breath and cursed, "This fucking ......"

……

In the bushes, Alice couldn't help but gently cover her mouth with her hand.

The old god of the lion man paladin watched this scene on the ground, and then smiled, he raised his hand and drew the holy sword from behind him, and said to her with a smile: "See, it seems that the guild you are looking for is not bad." Integrity is a noble quality, he can make people really see themselves, and they are not afraid of power-"

He pointed to the location of his heart with his snow-white paws: "This is the heart, the sound of the wind...... Listen, what did Ms. Marlan tell us? - If others use the sword to inflict violence, we return the color with the sword. ”

The big cat man turned around and looked at Fang Yu on the side: "It's almost over, our captain, now is the best time to cut in." ”

Fang Yu nodded.

With his other hand, he opened the lock on the glove of control, and the path of the wizard grew brighter one by one, passing through the silver shell of the Lone King's Pride, giving it a glow of darkness.

He couldn't help but think that the feud between himself and the descendants of Flor, the declaration he had made to the Jeffrey Redcoats, was both childish and funny, but it seemed to be becoming a reality little by little. So what is the original purpose of all this, maybe it is so simple.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance.

It's just that now, the relationship between the hunter and the prey has changed positions-

He raised his hand, pointed forward, and shook it gently.

The big cat man is telling Kita and Gollum on the side. "Little one, you can stay here later, don't go out, no one will hurt you. We promised to keep you safe, and as a knight of Marland, I did what I said. ”

The little goblin nodded in gratitude.

Kita also opened her magic book and said that she would join the battle. And the big cat man didn't say anything to her, only nodded his head to her, and all the advice was contained in the silver-gray gaze. It's like all chicks have to grow up, and everyone has to go through such a battle.

The four dragon hunters raised their magic guide guns at the same time, and the muzzles of the black holes pointed out of the forest. And in that direction, the people of Twilight were still guarding against the people of the Holy White Stone Guild below, they knew that the other party's strength was far inferior, but they couldn't give the other party time to assemble.

The people of the Holy White Stone Guild still had more than half a regiment outside the valley, more than sixty people, and the number was several times that of them. In fact, if it weren't for the other party's strength, they wouldn't have chosen to cooperate with these people.

The man made a quick decision and gave the order: "Fight quickly, end the battle quickly." ”

But before he could finish speaking, he heard a gunshot.

……
