Chapter Seventy-One: A Conversation
Xiao Chen and Maya stood in the communication room of Hewan New Town, and a bust of an elf appeared on the communication circle in front of them. That is the current head of the Elven Kingdom, the Elven Elder, the Crest Sage.
"Your Excellency Xiao Chen, I didn't expect that in just this short period of time, you are already a sage. You people in the Tower of China can really do something unpredictable. What do you propose to contact me this time?" Crester still maintained the calm and indifferent attitude of the High Elves.
Xiao Chen said: "Your Excellency Crest, you must have also seen the current situation of the continent, a large number of forests have been destroyed, and animals have turned into monsters. If this continues, the continent will become a barren land. I hope you elves will send some men to help us pacify the treants and monsters. ”
"Are you going to ask us elves to fight against the divine punishment of the gods of nature?" asked Crest, a smile on his face, "we are the family of the gods of nature. ”
Xiao Chen naturally knew that this was a kind of shirk, if he wanted to pick out the elves who hated the god of nature the most among the elves, the elder in front of him who knew a lot of secrets must be the top ones. He asked rhetorically, "Divine punishment is against the entire continent, isn't it?The elves were not spared from this disaster, and I heard that although you quickly controlled the situation, many brothers and sisters died. Since the God of Nature no longer regards you as a family, isn't it natural for you to fight against him?, not to mention that I talked to you about this issue a few years ago, how many elves still think they are the family members of the God of Nature after the last incident in which the God of Nature extracted the energy of the World Tree?"
"yes. Lord Crest, the Sages of the City of God claim to be the right-hand men of the gods of nature, and when they kill us elves, they don't have the intention to hesitate, they don't care why we appear in front of them. Dineen was killed by them. Maya also said.
"There is still a long way to go between separating from the gods of nature and fighting against them, and I believe that most elves are only willing to stay in the elven kingdom quietly, and neither become the sword and spear of the gods of nature, nor fight with the gods of nature. ”
"I'm afraid there is no place for the centrist in this war. When has the gods of nature ever been known for their tolerance, and it is betrayal for you as a family to refuse to be a sword and a spear. We have come this far, why don't you take another step and come to our side, if we fail, can you really escape the punishment of the gods of nature?" Xiao Chen said.
"Lord Crest, you should be able to feel that even the World Tree is no longer willing to be manipulated by the God of Nature, right? Before I set out for the human world, I meditated with Dinein under the World Tree for a night, and we felt the anger and sighs of the World Tree, and it didn't want the God of Nature to come, after all, we are its children, shouldn't we listen to our mother's advice?" Maya asked seriously.
Crester was silent like a statue, and after a while he said, "Now, the forests of this world are crying...... As elves, we really shouldn't sit idly by. However, our strength is limited after all, and we cannot resist the divine power, and with the help of the World Tree, we can only suppress those relatively weak Treants, but we cannot restore them to their original state. With the help of natural magic, we can transform them into a half-tree, half-tree state, with their roots fixed to the ground and their movements on them. They may cause harm to those who come by, but they can no longer roam around. ”
"Will they remain in this state forever?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Yes, unless there is a situation that happens. Crest gave a strange expression, "When the gods of nature do fall, as their divine powers fade and disintegrate into true magic, they may lose this activity and turn back into real trees again. ”
Xiao Chen said: "Very good, so that we can at least save some trees from being damaged in the artillery fire." And what about animals?"
"The situation of animals is more complicated, it mainly depends on whether these mutated animals can resonate with the spirits in their souls, it can only depend on their own luck," Crest said.
Since I have promised you, I will send a thousand elves to assist you in your actions, and I hope you will not let me down in the end. ”
————————————
In a town in the western part of the empire, the vanguard of an escort army has just wiped out a sizable troop of treants.
They sent a few scouts to lure the Treants out of town and into an ambush circle that had been prepared long ago. The treemen were greeted by a barrage of bullets and artillery fire infused with incendiary magic. The newly researched flamethrower is a large-scale killing weapon specially prepared for these tree people. The magical flames released by the fire crystal can be sprayed up to fifty meters away by the wind, quickly moving the treemen from head to toe, and the treemen will let out a strange wail and then quickly turn into charcoal.
After a round of blows, there will be a few remaining treants who have not been killed, but most of them are damaged and unable to move. At this moment, an elven mage appeared, holding a branch of the World Tree in her hand, and then began to chant at these tree people, and the branch would emit a kind of coercion that was difficult for the tree people to resist. Soon, some of the Treants began to calm down, slowly sinking into the dirt, turning into living trees planted in the soil.
Those who were able to resist the coercion of the branches of the World Tree were completely burned by the human soldiers.
This is time-consuming. Ji Yijun began to follow them two days ago, and so far, he has advanced less than 50 kilometers.
However, this is something that the committee has repeatedly emphasized, and it is better to advance the front inch by inch than to make some omissions and cause instability in the rear.
After the tree man was solved, Ji Yijun walked into the ruined town with the soldiers.
It turns out that a policeman like him will not act with the army forward. But as a high-level pinnacle master, his combat power is much stronger than that of ordinary soldiers and officers, so he took the initiative to ask to join the most dangerous team.
Ji Yijun was accompanied by an officer named Major Li Zhu, who was also the commander of this team.
"This is a very prosperous town in the past, and the locals have become rich by doing business with us in Arano. It's really miserable to be like this now. Li Zhu said, "It seems that there will be no living people left." ”
He cast a probing spirit spell, and then said in surprise, "Huh?
