Although this army was not defeated, the retreat of the elven army still relieved the entire Hig Empire, but the Holy See was greatly disappointed, and the tragic result of their use of troops in the elven forest this time was irreparable. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

When Tishepburn heard the news of the defeat, he sat on the throne in a daze, and was silent for a long time, if it wasn't for Gutesian himself who came to report the military situation, but anyone else, he would probably have slapped him in the face, not because he was distressed by the loss of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians, but because he didn't believe that the forest guardian magic would be reactivated. According to the information in various ancient books, without the World Tree, the Elven Forest is an ordinary forest, and it is impossible to activate the Tree Man at all, and when the World Tree raided Rasbel City, he saw with his own eyes that the World Tree was destroyed by the Paladin's condensation into a spear stunt, and there was not even a slag left. Of course, Tisherben is not an ordinary person, he knows that the World Tree is a twin, and there is a sister who exists on this continent, but the World Tree has always been in the hands of the Holy See, and then it was lost in the Holy See Civil War, but I have never heard of it returning to the hands of the elves, if it returned, I believe that the elves must have resurrected it and planted it a long time ago, but I didn't see the second tree when I raided the elven forest last time. However, at that time, just in case, the raid ended, and Tishepburn swept away the small amount of the remaining Fountain of Life, the main purpose of which was not to use the Fountain of Life, but to prevent the elves from using the Fountain of Life to resurrect the World Tree. But now it seems that he has made a mistake even if he has no last resort, and the elves actually have another way to resurrect the World Tree.

Whatever the elves do, one thing is certain, and that is that the World Tree will be resurrected and the Forest Guardian's magic will be reactivated.

In order to confirm this fact, Tishepburn immediately arranged for Gutsian to take the dragon Redduoli to conduct a high-altitude reconnaissance of Rasbelle City, as a result, Redduoli hovered above the Elven King's Palace for a while, Gutsian did not find any scenes related to the World Tree in the back garden where the World Tree grew, and then he expanded the search area, and reconnoitred the entire Elven King's City, and found no place where the World Tree might be hidden. It wasn't until a large number of Pegasus knights appeared in the sky and approached him, and he found nothing, that he reluctantly returned to Vanston to report his observations to the Sect Emperor Schpburn.

Of course, Tishepburn knew that the World Tree was inseparable from sunlight, so since Gutsian did not find it in Rasbel City, then it must have been the Elves who hid the World Tree in a secret place, the Elven Forest is two million square miles in radius, and it is not difficult to hide a tree in such a large area so that others can't find it. It seems that the location of the World Tree must be found, otherwise the Holy See may never be able to conquer the Elven Forest, but this will take time and process, and there should be no rush.

The immediate task now is how to put an end to this war. Higg's side is only a part, what really makes Tiskhpburn feel a headache is how to explain the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians who died in the Papal States, the only good news now is that Gutesian handled this matter cleanly, did not leave a single living mouth, and what happened in the passage will not be spread out, so that at least the face of the Holy See will be saved, and the faith will not collapse, now it is only necessary to find an excuse that is more acceptable to the believers to explain the death of these tens of thousands of people, it seems that the elves can only continue to take the blame.

However, these are not the most important things, the most important thing is that Tishepburn needs to calm down and rethink how the Holy See should continue its strategy of going north.

There are only two forces that can stop the Holy See from moving north, Yus and Elves. After subduing Higg, Tishepburn also hesitated for a while when facing the two major opponents of Yus and Elves.

But in the end, he still decided to choose the elves to strike first, not because the elves are easier to deal with, on the contrary, if the world tree cannot be destroyed, the elves are invincible, even if the forest guard magic is broken, the elves use their geographical advantages of being familiar with the elven forest, it is not so easy to deal with, and it will take at least a few years to defeat the elves comprehensively.

In comparison, although Yus does not have the ultimate magic of the Forest Guardian to put him in an invincible position, since Bachyus became one of the three major human forces expelling orcs with the Thundering Knights more than three hundred years ago, the Yus Empire has always maintained a strong military to ensure its national security in the land of the four wars. After the establishment of the Thundering Knights, the Thundering Knights were split and reorganized, and finally became the two major parts of today's Yus Guards Legion and the Northern Legion, but the tradition of the Thundering Knights in the past has been preserved, especially in the Northern Legion, because they often have to fight with the orc army in the south, they have cultivated a group of officers and soldiers who can fight habitually. Of course, these are not the most important, speaking of which, the former Higg was also not weak, but it was not conquered by the Holy See in a short time.

The important thing is that the rulers of these soldiers, compared to the little emperor who grew up in the court, acted indecisively and regarded himself very highly, the Yus Empire had a wise, A strong mature emperor, Wittelsyus traveled the continent with other adventurers when he was still a prince, and even entered the depths of Capra Mountain, such a character who was born and died in a place where demonic beasts are rampant will never bow to any power and threat, if the Holy See really uses troops against Yuss, then it is conceivable that even if the Holy See has the advantage, Yuss the Great will never give in, and is bound to fight with the Holy See to the end, which will make the two sides fall into a long-term war.

But this is not the reason why Tisherben did not choose Yus to start first, Tisherben is more eloquent, he is not afraid of war, and he is also confident that he will achieve the final victory of the war against Yous, but this is bound to be a difficult war, even if the Holy See wins, then it will inevitably pay a heavy price, and at this time in the north of Yous, the orcs are eyeing the tiger, from the various actions of the orc army in the sunset grassland to frequently sweep the nomads, it can be seen that the orc army should go south in the past few years, and if Tishepburn chooses to compete with Wittelsyus at this time, then the result of both defeats will only make the orcs profitableThe Holy See had already made a similar mistake back then, allowing the orcs to take advantage of the situation and seize the dominance of the continent, so the Tisheben, who had learned from the past, would never allow the same tragedy to happen again.

But now, the defeat in the war against the elves has forced Teth Hepburn's eyes to return to Yus, and this time he must be careful not to let the two sides lose their vitality to the orcs.
