In the previous battles, the mercenaries of the Ice Fist Mercenary Regiment were easy to deal with, but the well-trained members of the Holy Order among them caused him to suffer a lot of losses. There were a total of eight people in the team who came to carry out the mission, and only five returned at this time. The other three were killed in the previous battle—but at the cost of killing all the humans outside the cave, and his own shoulder was pierced by a short spear, bleeding profusely.

He knew that the penetrating wound could not be pulled out casually, so he had to cut off the handle of the short gun, keep the head of the gun in his shoulder, and wait for the return to the village to deal with it.

During the battle, because of the rush of adrenaline, the pain was almost negligible, but when the battle was over, he was covered in cold sweat with pain that had to pull the wound with every step. Two of his teammates also had arrow wounds on their bodies, and they bled a lot along the way. However, with the magic crystal in hand, they finally relied on their strong willpower to return to the village seven kilometers away.

However, just as they were about to report the completion of the mission to the village chief of Barty, they realized that the village was full of people.

Since its founding, this village has probably not had two hundred people at the same time for so many years. But at this time, Scoch saw that there were more than 400 people from more than six villages in the Silent Forest, and this could still be seen, and there were also shadows in the forest outside the village, adding up to more than 600 for sure.

"So many people came... What for?"

Scots, who was full of doubts, took a closer look and found that these people were all haggard. After all, it was freezing at this time, and there was no shelter outside the village, and no one could stand the cold wind for a long time. However, there are still a few figures among them holding magic crystals, obviously the appearance of leaders, as long as they hold magic crystals, their waists will be straighter, and their tone and voice will be tougher.

Scoch didn't think too much about it, he kept wiping the sweat from his forehead, and when the cold wind blew, he shivered a little cold. When I came to the treehouse of the village chief of Bati, there were dozens of people gathered on the inner and outer three floors, and the temperature around it seemed to be a little higher. Seeing the wounds on his body, the wood elves from the other villages quickly moved aside, and seeing their reactions, Scotch felt that he had completed the task perfectly, so he walked over with his head held high.

Chief Barty's previous teachings had convinced him that the scars on his body were the best medals of bravery, and he felt that the pain seemed to subside a lot in the face of the surprised and awe-inspiring gazes of those around him. And when he saw Village Chief Barty sitting on a brand-new wooden chair, he was suddenly stunned: "You, who are you?"

Barty, who had shown his old age in his impression, had completely changed his appearance at this time, his appearance seemed to be at least thirty years younger as if he had regained his youth, there was no wrinkles on his face, and when he looked closely, his skin was smooth and seemed to have no pores.

"The real power I gained... So it's what it is now. ”

His green pupils were now purple, and Barty was wearing a robe with his long hair tied up, and he no longer held any magic crystals in his hands, but his momentum was far stronger than that of other wood elves. As he looked into those eyes, Scott felt like he was being targeted by some kind of beast, until Barty asked, "Badly hurt?"

"It's okay, village chief..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a sudden heat on his shoulder, and when he looked sideways, he realized that the head of the gun had been directly pulled out by an invisible force.

The open wound was bleeding, and the bones inside were clearly visible, and he estimated that such an injury would be difficult to heal, so he couldn't help but look at Barty... The latter, on the other hand, glanced at the terrifying wound at this time and whispered, "It's not a big deal." ”

Scotch swallowed, but before he could speak, he was dragged by Barty to the side of the circle. Barty, who was taller, turned around and said to the Wood Elves who surrounded us, "We have been suppressed in this forest for too long, that traitor from Brudy has betrayed us, and he is now a pet of humans - for food, he can even make his own people trade with humans, and the pride of the Wood Elves has long been forgotten by him..."

These words were impassioned, and the surrounding wood elves also responded, but many of them stiffened their expressions: there was the village chief Frank - like many other village chiefs, Frank was actually very happy to do some trade with humans, so why not eat well in the winter?

But people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and Bati's methods are ruthless, and these village chiefs obviously have no way to resist in the face of supernatural forces. So they could only silently watch the powerful wood elf in front of them continue to preach his set of "pure-blood theories".

Fortunately, Barty didn't say much, he denounced Brudy's crimes, and instead directly activated the circle. Standing on the magic circle, Scoch's eyes widened instantly, and the pain of his body as if it was torn apart made him not even have the strength to shout, and he knelt on the ground and passed out on the spot. With a flash of light, Barty stepped forward and put his hand on his forehead—and within seconds, Scottish was awake. He stood up in surprise and found that his body had changed dramatically... The terrifying wound on his shoulder had completely healed, and not only that, but the strength of his entire body was also extremely abundant, making him feel more than twice as strong as before!

"How does it feel?"

Barty squinted at him, who stood up abruptly, only to find that he was half a head taller than before, and at the same time, his body muscles were knotted, and he was completely lost from his previous thin appearance.

"I... It's all right!

Scotch lowered his head and clenched his hands into fists, in addition to unprecedented strength, he found that he actually had control over the elements, raised his head, he flicked his finger towards a huge tree not far away, and a thin wind blade "hissed" across the trunk, leaving a shallow mark on it.

This scene made the eyes of the surrounding wood elves widen, and Barty obviously asked Scott to give him a demonstration, and he whispered when everyone was surprised and silent, "Simply using magic crystals is just the lowest way to use power." Everybody... It's time for a change. ”

He pointed to the circle behind him, and although most of the wood elves in front of him were full of hesitation, many of them looked straight over.

How many wood elves in the Silent Forest of the Jungle don't aspire to master their own destiny?

"Damn... These Wood Elves want to trap us here alive!"

When he found that the corridor with more than ten meters of exit had completely collapsed, Panda couldn't help but curse.

However, after he said this, he was choked by the dust and coughed for a long time, and before he could give the order, the gravel fell on the top of his head, which frightened a group of people and hurriedly hid to the side, and the elementalist Louis hurriedly used a spell to prop up the shield on top, and Devit couldn't help shouting: "Can your spell withstand it?"

"I don't know how many tons of stones on it, if it really falls, even the Magister can't withstand it!"

Louis sweated on his forehead, and although he said something a little dejected, it was true—although human magicians could manipulate the elements and use powerful spells, they still seemed very small in the face of natural disasters such as landslides and earth cracks.

"Stand back!

The soldiers in front shouted and retreated, and then a loud bang could be heard, and Panda did not suspect him, and immediately led the people back. The other rooms had more or less collapsed, but fortunately, the main passage had been reinforced by spells, and it still maintained a certain strength, and finally they retreated thirty or forty meters and stopped at a small porch - not because it was safe, but because they ran into Roddy and the others who came out of it.

At this time, the dragons dressed up by a group of mercenaries were also disgraced, and even Kardashian, who had always loved cleanliness, was covered with debris and dust, and after the two sides met again, they did not continue to confront each other with tension, Panda shouted directly: "Let's put aside our prejudices first, and then talk about it alive, okay?"

The latest updates are about 2500, because there are no manuscripts saved, so save a little manuscript in case you need it.
