Volume 4: The Swan Song (Remastered) Chapter 10: The Forest of Casamane (1)

After passing through the barrier to protect the secret realm, Yu Bin's eyes were filled with a gray scene. Here and the verdant, vibrant whispering forest outside the secret world seem to be two extremes, with withered tree trunks and twisted branches visible, and even the earth with a rotting smell like the dead earth of the undead.

It's hard to imagine such a place in the Whispering Forest, which is considered one of the three sacred places by the elves. Yu Bin could even feel that there was a very obvious aura of death in the air, which meant that the power of death here had obviously surpassed the force of nature and occupied an advantageous position. Perhaps it was because of that barrier that the power of death here could only accumulate without being able to spread outward, and finally formed such an appearance.

After the parchment emitted that gray light, it seemed to be smeared with a layer of mud, showing a decaying and rotten appearance, and Yu Bin was even worried about whether this thing would be damaged by his own excessive movements. Fortunately, there was no such speechless result, and although the parchment paper lost its luster, it still had a lot of firmness.

The map above has changed, and the ink-colored lines automatically reconstitute a piece of lingua franca.

"The Forest of Casaman is also known by the elves as the place where the dead come back from the dead! Once the place where the moon god Elune first descended on the continent of Entagre, it is now used by the elves to bury the body of the famous elven prince Lacorette. The hero of this tragedy was betrayed by the dastardly elves and wandered in the endless river of time! Go find his graveyard and awaken the soul of this avenger! This powerful being will be our best messenger of death, so that those with long ears can taste fear and death! ”

"Finally, a word of advice! Watch out for those who still wander the Secret Realm! Whether it's the elven guards who volunteered to stay here to monitor the seal, or the subordinates who have been reawakened by Prince Lacorlet, you'll need to be on guard! Here, you can only trust yourself! ”

The deep meaning revealed on the parchment made Yu Bin not surprised. Because in the world of Entagre, the faction is not static. From a racial and national perspective, humans and elves belong to the camp of staunch order, while the undead and demons belong to the camp of absolute chaos. But for each individual, the faction is a bit more ambiguous.

Whether it is a player or an aborigine, they as an independent individual, they have their own preferences and preferences, and each person's own code of conduct will make them make different choices in their daily behavior, and these choices will determine their outlook on life and values. As long as you can always adhere to the belief of protecting the good and fighting for the weak, even if you are an evil undead, you belong to the good and orderly in the camp, and if your heart is full of darkness, planning terrorist attacks every minute and every second, or killing wantonly for your own interests, then even an elf will become a cadre in the chaotic evil camp!

This faction bias is not visible unless detected by certain spells. So it's hard to know if the guy who came out of the other side of the street was a merciful saint or a criminal who burned and looted.

Therefore, it was not surprising that Yu Bin reminded himself of the parchment, neither the elven guards nor the subordinates who were awakened by the power of Lacortete would regard Yu Bin as an enemy or his own kind because of his undead appearance. If Yu Bin is committed to sabotaging Lacorette's plan to take revenge on the elves, then those elven garrisons must be willing to fight alongside him.

It's a pity that the requirements on the parchment make Yu Bin have to choose to be the enemy of those long ears!

The name Lacorette, along with the elven garrison mentioned on the parchment, reminded Yu Bin of an ancient legend in his mind.

First of all, Yu Bin's target to enter the secret realm this time, the prince of the ancient elven empire, Lacorette. His full name is Lacorrete Daywalker, and he is said to have one-third of the Sun Elf bloodline. In the middle of the First Age, the Sun Elves, Star Elves, and Green Elves took power away from the Elven King together, and after the Elven Empire entered the period of "Three Kings Reign", the Sun Elves held power for thousands of years because of their strong strength.

Lacorrete Daywalker is the most gifted genius ever created by the Sun Elves, and legend has it that he caused a great tide of magic at birth, and the mages of the Elven Empire at the time agreed that the Sun Elf Prince would become the second Emmandra, leading the Elves back to glory.

This gifted prince of the Sun Elves is indeed extremely talented, he is approachable and full of charisma, not only can he draw inferences from others in the way of magic, but he is also far beyond ordinary people in terms of martial arts, and he has hero-level strength before he is a minor.

After Lacorette came of age, his father, the then Supreme Consul of the Elven Imperial Council, succeeded in convincing the Elven King, who had become a puppet, to marry his daughter to his son, hoping to pave the way for Lacorette to replace the Elven King in the future.

After the wedding, the ambitious Lacorette, who had been raised by his parents and fellow tribes since childhood, could not wait to launch a war against the aliens, expanding his territory while increasing his prestige within the empire, and at the same time spreading his influence among the army.

As Lacorrete continues to win wars from war to war, the fast-growing Sun Elf Prince has made the Star Elves and Green Elves, who also have ruling power, panic, and they do not want to see another Emandra appear, which means that they will lose their power and return to the situation when the Elven Empire was founded and suppressed by the Sun Elves.

Resentment and fear finally broke through the limit, and when Lacorette launched the third troll war, hoping to deal a heavy blow to the arrogance of those trolls through this war, so that he would have enough time to seize the supreme power of the empire, he did not want to see the mastermind behind the success of the Sun Elf prince finally start a long-planned conspiracy. They secretly instigated the slaves to mobilize. riots, and use this as an excuse to seize supplies that should have been sent to the front line to support the army, and even do not hesitate to reveal the information about the lack of supply of the front line army to the trolls, hoping to use the hands of those tusks to kill the genius who terrified them.

Faced with the intrigues of foreign enemies and traitors, the Lacorrete Daywalker had to abandon most of his soldiers and lead his most trusted men deep into the frigid city of Northrend, where the perennial howling winds of the land held back the trolls and find a way back to the Empire.

He had trekked through the tundra of Northrend for three years, watching his men die one by one, his heart gripped by frost and death filled with hatred for the revenge of those who had betrayed.

However, when Lacorette and his last men walked out of the icy land of Northrend and returned to the Whispering Forest, the Star Elves and Green Elves, terrified of the Sun Elf Prince's determination to take revenge, teamed up to launch a murder and brutally kill the Sun Elf Prince!

Clearly, the murderers not only destroyed the glory of the Sun Elf prince, but also sealed his body under the land, even laying down this secret realm to prevent Lacorette from coming back from the dead!

As for those elven garrisons, if Yu Bin guessed correctly, they should be the royal guards of the Elven Empire during the First Era. With the usurpation of the Elven King's authority by the Parliament, and the beginning of the era of the Three Kings' reign, the Parliament, which is bent on limiting the royal power, is certainly not willing to continue to let the Elven King have such a powerful force. As a result, most of the original royal guards were reappointed by the Parliament as Imperial Garrisons, responsible for guarding the most dangerous enemies held throughout the Empire.

It is said that each of the Elven Garrisons is of legendary prowess, and the prisoners they face are either monsters from the Void or some ancient creatures that have survived since ancient times. However, as the empire continued to expand, so did the number of prisoners who needed to be guarded, so the number of garrisons also increased, resulting in a significant decline in the average strength of this special elven unit. Yu Bin had a hard time believing that the conspirators who had murdered Lacorrete would use those legendary elven guards to guard a corpse. You must know that even when the Elven Empire was at its strongest, Legendary-level Elves could be regarded as the most powerful group of existences.

What's more, the strong aura of death that permeated the Casaman Forest gave Yu Bin reason to believe that even if there were still some elven garrisons who had held on to this secret realm to this day, their strength should have been greatly weakened, otherwise it would be impossible to sit back and watch the power of death grow to such an extent.

Of course, the first thing in front of him is to find a way to collect intelligence, Yu Bin can be said to know nothing about this secret realm, whether it is to complete the task entrusted by Andrew, or to profit from it, you must first figure out what the situation of this secret realm is now!

On the other hand, when Yu Bin began to explore the Casaman Forest, Cassie and the others, who had finally struggled from fear and regret, also reconvened a group of subordinates and began to discuss how to deal with the mess in front of them.

Gelman, from MI5, had already left in a hurry, and if nothing else, he would have been severely punished for dereliction of duty, as can be seen from the sad expression on his face when he left. I'm afraid that this informant now regrets his actions immensely, he didn't expect that the undead spirit from the Devouring Serpent would be so powerful.

"Lord Ophela, do you want to quit too?" Seeing that Ophela and the men he brought with him were counting the losses and redistributing the supplies, Cassie couldn't help but ask, "Don't you even dare to fight that Grim Reaper again?" ”

If at the beginning, Cassie wanted to prevent Ophira from gaining too much advantage in this encirclement, now the elven merchant is eager to throw this big problem to Ophela. He could already foresee what a huge pension he would have to pay for the players who died in the last battle, which would almost make him a pauper in an instant! And now, only Ophela can give him a chance to get out of this quagmire!

As long as this rich second generation who has been turned into an elf prince by the players is willing to come forward and re-carry the banner against Yu Bin, then before driving away that terrible death, Cassie will still have enough time to raise funds and try to ensure that his foundation will not be damaged too much, as for absconding with money, Cassie has never even thought about it! This is a world where magic is rampant, and can he, a small elven merchant, quietly disappear from the hands of thousands of players? He's not that freak of Yu Bin!

Ophira glanced at Cassie angrily, to be honest, if it weren't for the fact that this guy was opposing his proposal from beginning to end in order to suppress him during the previous encirclement and suppression, this encirclement and suppression war would not have turned out to be such a result. It's good now, this shameless bastard turned his lips over, and even wanted to let himself take the blame for him!

The elite players who had been summoned by Cassie before were also watching the two of them, and their losses were not small, most of their men were killed in that battle, and the loss of equipment alone was enough to make their efforts for more than a month go to waste. If Ophira is willing to take over the banner in Cassie's hands and rely on the prestige and influence of the Children of the Forest, they may be willing to try again, but if Ophira decides to quit, then they will not hesitate to abandon Cassie, or even leave the Whispering Forest and find another place to live.

Looking at Cassie's face of a profiteer with wandering eyes but trying to pretend to be sincere, Ophela felt extremely disgusted in his heart, but a good tutor still made him endure it, and did not give this bastard a big mouth on the spot: "Your Excellency Cassie, to be honest, things have developed to this point, even if you can reassemble your manpower, I'm afraid you won't be able to have the same combat power as before!" What's more, because of the scramble for equipment, most of the players in the Whispering Forest may have developed a hostile mentality among themselves, so that they can unite to crusade against the Grim Reaper, no one can do it! Even if I come forward, it will be the same result! ”

Like Cassie and them, after making sure that Yu Bin did not chase him, he naturally thought of the problem of recycling equipment as soon as possible, but Yu Bin had been acting with them outside the secret country for too long, attracting a large number of cleaners, and when Ophira and them rushed back to the battlefield, the melee was already in full swing and out of control.

This is also the result of Yu Bin's deliberate cause, it was the slow tricking of those elf players that allowed these cleaners to have time to come over.

Cassie knew that Ophela participated in the encirclement and suppression this time, and the biggest purpose was to expand his influence in the Whispering Forest and lay the foundation for the next step in establishing a trade union, otherwise he would not have deliberately suppressed Ophela before. But as the saying goes, the situation is stronger than the people, and now Cassie is no longer thinking about how to limit Ophela's development, but finding a way to keep his foundation.

So he gritted his teeth: "Your Excellency Opira, I know that your sons of the forest have great strength. Personally, I would like to pay you 10,000 gold coins, as well as a portion of the equipment, to compensate your team for the losses suffered in previous battles. In order to have a safe environment for the players in the Whispering Forest, we hope you will get all the Sons of the Forest involved! ”

For his own benefit, Cassie can be regarded as ruthless and bloody to cut his flesh. Letting the entire Children of the Forest enter the Whispering Forest is undoubtedly luring the wolf into the room, and when the time comes, the dominance of encircling and suppressing Yu Bin will be taken away by Ophela, and once successful, the prestige of the Children of the Forest in the Whispering Forest will reach the extreme. And even if he fails again, with his Kassi's example in front of him, no one will think that the Sons of the Forest are not strong enough, but will think that Ophira cares about the public, and for the safety and interests of the players, he will not hesitate to risk his life and damage the interests of the team to fight against the terrible Grim Reaper!

It can be said that as long as Ophira agrees now, no matter what, his goal of expanding his influence has been achieved!
