Chapter 753: The Trap of Reunion

The night in the Yeremilin is beautiful.

Although this dense forest is darker at night, this darkness allows many strange beauties that cannot be observed during the day to quietly bloom in it.

The ubiquitous fungus plants, all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, and even tall trees, all began to emit a faint light of various colors after darkness fell, and these lights made this oldest forest on the continent of Erathia as beautiful as a dreamlike wonderland at night.

However, Tanan was not intoxicated by these beauties, he had lived in Eri for a long time, and he was already familiar with this, no matter how beautiful the scenery was, it was inevitable that he would feel tired, not to mention, the current immortal heroes were really not in the mood to appreciate these beauties.

Instead, he was suffering from the headache of these glowing plants that made it difficult for them to hide their shape.

Not long after entering the area where he was currently located, Tanan realized that he was too underestimated.

The enemy's alertness was far beyond his imagination.

On several occasions, he was almost spotted by the elven warriors who were hiding in the shadows, and these jungle guardians had mastered the art of hiding to integrate themselves with nature, and if it weren't for Tanan's alertness, skill, and experience, he would not have been able to avoid these almost ubiquitous secret sentinels.

Tanan had the intention of using stealth thaumaturgy, but he also understood that using magic until now would only expose his whereabouts faster, and the enemy had made such a strict arrangement, it was impossible not to arrange for magicians to conduct sentinels, at such a distance, no matter how slight fluctuations in the magic elements, they could not escape the perception of these magicians.

So he had to use his skills to continue stealing in the dense forest.

Moving forward cautiously, the uneasiness in the hearts of the immortal heroes became more and more intense.

He didn't know exactly where Alice and the others were going tonight, but the sharp instincts he had developed over the years told him that something was definitely going to happen tonight, and something dangerous.

Thinking that the Ice Sword had already appeared and been put into use on the battlefield by the Krurod Kingdom, Tanan's heart became more and more irritated.

Is it really just a coincidence that the Blade of Doom and the Sword of Ice, two weapons that originally only existed in legends, have appeared on the battlefield of the Elasia continent one after another?

If one day, these two weapons meet on the battlefield......

Tanan didn't dare to think about it anymore.

He was desperate to know the whereabouts of the Doomsday Blade, and he was also eager to rush back to learn everything about the Ice Sword before and after it appeared.

He will not allow the barbarians to become murderers who could destroy the world.

As soon as he thought of this, Tanan's pace couldn't help but speed up a few times, in order to avoid those elf sentinels lurking in the darkness, his speed was too slow, which made the distance between him and Alice and the others getting farther and farther away.

From the other party's actions, he already had a premonition that Alice and the others might have to go to see Gru tonight, Gru's location is not far from here, this is a great opportunity to secretly understand what Gru is secretly planning, he doesn't want to miss it, otherwise, he would have stopped following Alice and the others, but went directly to the Emerald City to find Gru.

Bypassing a Jungle Guardian warrior hiding in a tree hollow, Tanan decides to change tactics.

It's too slow, and it's too easy for the other party to notice.

He climbed a large tree and climbed to a great height before he began to move carefully between the branches and leaves.

The barbarian's tall stature didn't dampen his agility, and the immortal hero leaped and jumped on the branches like a nimble tanuki.

As he expected, the other party didn't seem to have arranged the secret sentinels to such a height, and he didn't find anything wrong, which made him move forward quickly according to the direction in his memory.

Feeling that he was about to catch up with the other party, Tanan found one of the trees again and began to move downward, and soon, through the gap between the branches and leaves, he saw Alice and his group slowly moving forward.

It's just that Tanan didn't know that his actions just now had completely fallen into the eyes of others.

The immortal hero underestimated the vigilance of the Jungle Guardian troops trained by Gru, an elven warrior hiding in the trees, discovered Tanan.

At this time, Alice and the others, who were riding a silver pegasus with folded wings and slowly moving along the forest path, finally arrived at their destination under the guidance of an elf sent by Gru.

Finally about to see Gru again, Alice has mixed feelings.

Once upon a time, the elf always thought that she knew Gru.

In her eyes, Gru is a true and faithful Druid believer, a half-elf who is compassionate, kind-hearted, and charismatic, not only a natural leader, but also a partner who can be absolutely trusted.

It is precisely because of this that she will spare no effort to help the half-elf carry out his huge project, supporting the farook whom she is quite disgusted, trying to establish the ideal state of racial equality described in the Druid teachings, and she believes that the half-elf is more suitable to be a leader in this plan than herself.

But now, Alice has doubts about her own judgments.

The elf finds herself seemingly being taken advantage of.

She didn't want to believe everything that Monfila said, but as time went on, it seemed that all the signs showed that all this was not groundless.

But what Alice couldn't figure out was that if all this was really planned by Gru, then what would Gru's purpose be?

Is it just to climb higher in the elven kingdom? But what can such a dilapidated elven kingdom give him? Or did Gru not even think of the current situation?

Alice had no idea.

At the same time, along the way, she found that in order to see her group, Gru had made such a big arrangement, and she was even more uneasy.

Because of this vigilance, it has already shown an attitude, and after contacting Gru several times, Gru did not give her any clear reply, and the attitude of those people sent by Gru was also ambiguous, and those suspicious and repulsive eyes made Alice feel uncomfortable.

She decided to figure it all out tonight.

Compared with Alice's worries, the other female elf Genova was quite excited at this time, Genova's mind was relatively simple, she did not believe in Meng Tila's words, and she was not already in doubt like Alice, she still firmly believed in the half-elf she longed for and loved, and was excited to meet him.

"Lord Gru's safety is the first priority, it's not surprising to have such an arrangement, it's always good to be careful."

Genova comforted the restless Alice in this way.

After arriving at the ground, she began to look left and right for Gru's figure for the first time.

"Where's Lord Gru?"

After finding nothing, she asked the elf who was leading the way.

Before the elf could reply, another voice was already chuckling: "I'm here, I've been seen for a long time."

Then several figures turned out from behind a large tree, and the first one lifted the hood on his head, revealing shoulder-length red hair and a smile on his face.

"Lord Gru" Janova cheered, turned over and got off the silver pegasus, and was about to meet him, but was stopped by Alice.

"Watch out for Denova"

Jenova didn't pay attention, but the sharp-eyed Alice did, although Gru was not abnormal as usual, but several Jungle Guardian warriors around Gru were not good-looking, and their hands, without exception, were placed in positions where they could take out their weapons to fight at any time.

At this moment, in the forest not far away, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded, which was a warning signal unique to the Jungle Guardian Force of the Elven Kingdom.

Then there was the sound of bowstrings vibrating, feathered arrows breaking through the air, swords unsheathed, branches breaking, heavy objects falling to the ground, and a series of other sounds that were obviously made by fighting.

The elves who spotted Tanan began to attack Tanan and prevented him from continuing to approach the center of the field.

"There are unidentified intruders"

"Protect Lord Gru"

In an instant, countless elven warriors dressed as Guardian of the Jungle emerged from the darkness, shielding Gru and surrounding Alice, Genova, and the more than a hundred people who were traveling with them from all sides.

Countless sharp arrows were aimed at Alice and the others.

The smile on Gru's face vanished.

Although he had previously told Ze Lifa that there might be guys who secretly followed Alice and the others with the intention of being unfavorable to him, it was just an excuse for him to prevent Alice and the others from escaping, and he used this excuse to persuade Ze Lifa to arrange more people.

Although Alice was suspicious of him, Gru didn't think Alice would turn her against him.

But the current situation shows that someone is indeed secretly following Alice and the others.

"What's going on?" Gru was shocked, "Did Alice arrange it?" What exactly does she want to do? What did she know? ”

However, Gru also realized that this was a great opportunity for him to use the question, and he stepped back as he quickly glanced at Zelifa, who was following him.

"Take them all, don't let them escape, they try to disadvantage Lord Gru"

Comprehending Gru's meaning, Zelifa immediately gave a loud order.

This order shocked both Alice and Genova.

"It's a trap"

Alice was furious, and she was already suspicious, and she didn't know that Tanan had actually been following her group, so she said that all this was carefully arranged by Gru.

She drew the scimitar at her waist and urged the silver pegasus beneath her, turning to leave, but the silver pegasus soon fell under the dense rain of arrows, and Alice fell to the ground with it, but due to Gru's pre-arrangement, she was not injured, and the Jungle Guardians planned to catch her alive.

Jenova was completely overwhelmed at this point.

The sudden change made the female elf completely lose her due judgment, and after hearing Zelifa's order, her head became a mess.

She couldn't figure out what was going on.

How did the originally happy reunion become like this?

She began to subconsciously run in the direction where Gru was, she believed that Gru could help her answer all her questions, but her actions were naturally regarded as a sign of hostility by the elves on Gru's side at this sensitive moment.

A sharp feathered arrow flew out of the shadows and pierced the unsuspecting Jenova's right leg, sending her to the ground screaming, before the three Guardians of the Jungle leapt out of the darkness and landed the elven scimitar around her neck.

"Traitor," one of the elves cursed through gritted teeth, and then knocked Jenova unconscious with the hilt of his sword.

At this time, the more than 100 people brought by Alice were almost all subdued.

There are not many people in Farouk's army who really know Gru's identity, that is, the supernumerary jungle guardian troops composed of elves and humans trained by Gru at the beginning, after Farouk's uprising, the war continued, and these Gru's descendants were killed and injured in the war, and now, there are only so many people left.

These people are all elites of a hundred battles, and they are extremely quick to respond, but what they never expected is that their former companions have now become enemies.

This made many people have not had time to figure out what happened, and they have already been knocked over like Jenova, some of them reacted quickly and tried to resist, but they were also outnumbered, and some of them resisted fiercely, and were even besieged on the spot.

Alice led a dozen elves through the woods, trying to break through, she fell to the ground, and was rescued, by this time, Alice was already a little dead to Gru, and the flames of anger burned in her heart, but she did not lose her mind.

She was going to get out and try to investigate the whole thing.

But at this moment, it is not easy to break through.

Everywhere was the figure of the elite jungle guardian warriors brought by Gru, and the elves around Alice fell one after another, and Alice herself was also hit by an arrow in her left arm, but fortunately, due to the good quality chain mail, the arrow did not penetrate the flesh.

"Can't escape"

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people around her, but there were more and more enemies around her, Alice began to despair a little.

At this moment, she suddenly noticed that there was some commotion among the enemies on her left.

Then, in that direction, a burst of fire rose into the sky in the dark forest.

"Infernal Flames"

Looking at the magic flame that was so dazzling in the darkness, Alice easily recognized this common fire magic.

To her surprise, the targets of the Hellflames turned out to be the Jungle Guardian troops brought by Gru, and in the flames, many of the Jungle Guardian warriors were screaming and falling, and more figures were scattering and fleeing.

"Who is it?"

Alice was shocked and suspicious, but the current situation did not allow her to think too much, and noticed that a gap had appeared in the enemy's encirclement due to this magic, and she immediately changed the direction of her advance.

"Rush in that direction"

Alice screamed, and began to fold to the left with the seven or eight remaining elves around her.

Then Alice noticed that the magician who had attacked Gru's Jungle Guardian troops, as well as a few others, seemed to be consciously helping her.

Because in the direction she was heading, those elven warriors who tried to intercept her were being attacked by various types of magic from time to time, and the sound of fighting was constant.

This situation also made Alice realize how powerful the person who came could be.

You know, what the Jungle Guardians are best at is fighting in this kind of forest, in this forest environment, using the complex terrain, the agile Jungle Guardians can act like a fish in water.

But now, the Guardians of the Jungle were helpless against the enemies who attacked them, and from the chaotic shouts of the other side, it was not difficult for Alice to tell what a difficult opponent this force known for its elusiveness in the forest had encountered at this time.

Alice didn't know that it was not a group of people who were helping her, but a person, and this person was a famous barbarian she knew.

After being discovered and attacked by the Jungle Guardians under Gru, Tanan began to fight with the other party in the dense forest, and with his clever martial arts and agile skills, he successfully broke through after killing more than a dozen Jungle Guardian warriors.

Gru's side never expected that the strength of the arrivals would be so strong, and in a panic, he mobilized manpower to start a siege and interception of him, although Tanan was strong, but he didn't dare to fight hard when he saw this, but he just fled while fighting, and helped Alice in trouble by the way.

Seeing that Alice and the others successfully got rid of the pursuers with his help, Tanan no longer entangled with the enemy, he first turned back and knocked down some of the elven warriors who were approaching him again, and then released a fire demon wall to block the rest of the pursuers, and then chased in the direction where Alice and the others fled.

This situation made Gru turn pale.

The half-elf has always been very confident in his martial arts, but the powerful combat power of the demonic and martial arts dual cultivation displayed by that tall figure made him feel a serious threat.

"Do you know who it is?"

He asked Zelifa in a deep voice.

Zelifa shook her head, her eyes were full of anger, in the battle just now, this guy who came out of nowhere, caused her nearly a hundred heavy casualties.

"Is there such a person in this world who is so skilled in martial arts, and who also refines multiple forms of magic? Lord Gru."

She asked Gru rhetorically, indignant: "I didn't expect Alice and them to find such a helper to try to disadvantage your lords, what are they trying to do?"

Gru didn't answer Zelifa's question, he just gave a succinct order: "Chase"
