The next morning, the group got on their horses and continued their march deeper into the forest. Rayleigh had the golden-robed mages bless everyone with buff magic, greatly increasing the speed of the march.

After a while, everyone suddenly seemed to have crossed an invisible boundary, and a violent mental shock struck, and then a heavy pressure enveloped them. The warriors' minds began to dull and their vision became blurred, making it difficult to keep their balance. Several of the warriors had become so confused that they didn't even know that they had strayed from the group and were heading deeper into the forest.

"Look, ordinary warriors are useless. Reilly spread his hands and said, "The will of the forest will constantly attack the souls of outsiders, even if you bring in an army of millions, it will also deliver food." ”

In Norlander's traditional beliefs, a strong soul has always been considered the key to the legendary ranks.

Nereus and Agamemnon are currently at level seventeen and have not officially crossed the threshold of the Sanctuary. However, they are clearly in much better shape than Scheer and Pamir, and even look even better than Lina. Daimei also shows a tenacious will and a strong soul, almost comparable to that of a dragon mage. A strong will is the hallmark of true Akmund.

Shockingly, with the exception of Gonde, Richard's followers all displayed incredibly powerful souls, quicksand, splash, Minnie, Trinity, and Tiramisu, who were either concentrating against the oppression of the will of the forest or showing painful expressions, but their actions were barely affected! Even if it is Gangde, it doesn't look worse than Scheer.

However, it was Richard and Reilly who were the most shocking. The former only frowned slightly, and the latter didn't even change his expression. Reilly's soul was originally very powerful, otherwise it would not be possible to carry a primary divine kingdom. Moreover, he has been tempering his soul with the secret methods contained in the Star Library, and he continues to get stronger every day.

Richard looked at Reilly's puppet legion and said, "They don't seem to be at all affected by the will of the forest. ”

"They are all soulless puppets, of course unaffected. Reilly said lightly.

Richard thought for a moment and said, "Just stay and take those warriors to the place where they camped yesterday, while the others continue on their way!"

At this time, the elven tribe in the distance was already in a state of unease.

Hundreds of green forest elves gathered under a huge ancient tree, waiting for the return of the warriors who had set out on the expedition. However, it was as if those people had disappeared, with no sign of returning at all.

An elderly druid stamped his foot and walked towards the ancient tree. This is a surprisingly large tree, its trunk is tens of meters thick, and the diameter of the canopy is hundreds of meters!

On the trunk of this large tree, the elves built a large number of treehouses, which were connected by a winding road. The druid walked up the passage to a treehouse on the top floor.

Seeing him come in, an old elf rose from his seat and asked eagerly, "How is it, Greenwind?"

"Not yet. Green Wind shook his head and said, "Great Elder, do you think they will ......?"

"No!" the Great Elder waved his hand and said, "Except for me, only the Spirit Wind in the tribe can communicate with the Tree of Life, he is the hope of the tribe, and nothing can happen!"

"Would you like to send someone to look for it?" asked Midori Wind.

The Great Elder frowned and asked, "How many warriors do we have now?"

"Since the arrival of new invaders at the Devil's Gate, our losses have begun to widen dramatically. So far, one hundred and ten adult warriors of the tribe have died at the hands of the invaders. ”

"In other words, our tribe has lost half of its warriors?" the Great Elder's voice was filled with bitterness.

Green Wind's voice was equally bitter: "Yes. ”

The Great Elder sighed and said, "Perhaps...... We should have tried to negotiate with them in the first place, not go to war. The two groups of invaders before and after were clearly not from the same tribe. ”

"Great Elder!" Green Wind was anxious: "They are the invaders who came out of the Devil's Gate! We must not compromise with the invaders! This war can only end if we drive all the invaders out and then destroy the Devil's Gate!"

The Great Elder sighed again and asked, "Is this what all druids mean?"

Green Wind paused for a moment and said, "The four druids who stayed in the village all supported me. "There are only ten druids in this tribe, and four were killed by Reilly yesterday. In other words, all druids except the Grand Elder are supporters of Greenwind and are ready to fight the invaders to the death.

The Great Elder was silent for a moment and said, "With only the three tribes around the Devil's Gate, they are no match for the invaders at all, maybe we should be ready to move the Tree of Life." ”

"How can this be! The Tree of Life has been growing here for thousands of years!" roared Green Wind.

"Then what should I do, if the invaders find this place, it will be too late to relocate!" the Great Elder was furious.

"No way! we will never let the invaders touch the Tree of Life!" said Greenwind firmly.

"So, how sure are you of defeating the invaders?" said the Great Elder unceremoniously.

Green Wind said with a grim face: "We will defend the tribe with our lives!"

"What if you all die in battle?"

Green Wind was stunned, he had never thought about what he would do after he died in battle. In the eyes of the druids, death was not terrible, it was just a process of returning to nature.

The Great Elder asked, "If all the druids were killed, would the invaders spare the Tree of Life, would they spare the underage people, and if the invaders' army appeared here, how could you defeat them?"

Green Wind's face became more and more ugly. Although he has a hot temper, he is not without brains. Ever since the arrival of new invaders in the Green Forest, their situation has deteriorated.

These intruders are insidious, aggressive, and fearsome of them, and their weapons and armor are more than a notch higher than before.

No matter how much Green Wind deceives itself, it can only be said that it is fighting to the death with the invaders. If the invaders did kill here, he didn't think the Tree of Life would be spared.

"Green Wind, think about it. Whether to protect the glory and faith of you druids at the expense of the Tree of Life and the entire tribe. Can you five druids really take on such a responsibility? Remember, there are hundreds of lives in the tribe, and we've given more than a hundred. The Great Elder said with a solemn face.

Green Wind was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't believe those invaders can fight the will of the forest. ”

"I hope you're right, too. The Great Elder said with a tired expression.

Green Wind didn't say anything more, he saluted the Great Elder, and walked out of the treehouse.

The Great Elder looked out the window, and a strong uneasiness swelled in his heart. This time the invaders are not in line with the past, and they have a very terrible leader. It was a calm and patient fellow, and he did not rush to fight the green forest elves, but constantly increased the intensity of cutting down the forest, which was a means to fundamentally weaken the will of the forest.

So far, the intruders have made little progress. Compared with the tens of millions of square kilometers of forest sea in the green forest plane, it is completely negligible. However, every time the elves tried to stop them, they suffered a crushing defeat, which was very different from the previous situation of winning and losing each other.

The other party seems to have lost patience and is about to bulldoze the entire forest according to this posture.

The Great Elder suddenly thought of a question: Are those invaders really unable to deal with the Will of the Forest?

For decades, the Green Forest Elves have relied on the will of the forest to fight against invaders. This time, however, he suddenly had a sense of foreboding.

The Great Elder's heart was cold, and he immediately decided to urge the Tree of Life tomorrow to leave this land full of life and let the entire tribe move to the depths of the forest. No matter how much the druids objected, he decided to ignore it.
