As night fell, the sky glowed pale green again, and a new day began.

Reilly levitated in the air, looking at the giant tree hundreds of meters high in the distance, and smiled with satisfaction.

Thirty kilometers from the elven tribe, the team stopped for one last rest. Reilly and his party are all battle-hardened men who know how to adjust their state, and they eat and rest to stabilize their mood. Even Nereus put away his smile and silently wiped his legendary battle axe.

The only person who didn't take a break was Richard, who checked the condition of all his followers one by one, especially Daimei. As Richard walked to the next follower, Daimei looked at his busy figure in a daze, and couldn't help but think: Is this the so-called leader?

"That's what a leader should look like. Agamemnon's voice suddenly sounded beside her, startling Daimei.

(This man...... He seemed to know what I was thinking...... ）

After discovering this fact, Daimei's heart was a little panicked.

"This kid is still a long way from the king. Reilly said lightly.

"He wasn't even twenty years old. Agamemnon said with a wry smile.

"Yes, twenty years old......" A flash of remembrance flashed in Reilly's eyes, and then turned into a void of depth.

"......" Agamemnon was silent for a moment, then said to Daimei, "After the battle begins, don't leave my ten meter range." ”

Although Daimei was reluctant, she bit her lip and nodded. She finally understands that war is not a game, and she can't burden others because of her willfulness.

When the time came to fight, Richard picked up the Destiny Twins and hung the nameless long knife on the back of the pony. Then facing everyone, he calmly said, "Go to war!"

――――――――――――――――――――

Early in the morning, a fierce quarrel broke out in the council hall of the elven tribe. The Elven Archelder and the five druids confronted each other, and the two sides argued over whether or not to move the Living Tree to hide from the invaders.

The five druids were adamantly opposed to the proposal, but the High Elder had the support of the War Tree Ourano, so he was not as weak as he seemed. The Ancient Tree of War, Ourano, is second only to the Tree of Life, above all Elven Elders.

On the other hand, the Great Elder is the only elf in the tribe who can communicate with the Tree of Life, and if he tries to forcibly summon the Tree of Life, no one can stop him unless he kills the Great Elder. However, now that the whereabouts of the Spirit Wind are unknown, it is likely to fall into the hands of the invaders, and if the Great Elder is killed, there will be no one in the entire tribe to communicate with the Tree of Life. Over time, the Tree of Life will stop releasing breath of life and will no longer secrete the Fountain of Perpetuality.

That would mean the demise of the tribe.

However, the migration of the Living Tree will consume a lot of energy, so that it will no longer secrete the Fountain of Eternity for the next ten years, and the breath of life it will be released will be halved.

The tree of life and the elves are in a symbiotic relationship, and the breath of life it releases can make the elves quickly increase their strength, and the fountain of perpetuity plays a vital role in the continuation of the tribe.

Every once in a while, the Tree of Life secretes some fountain of perpetuity. A female spirit who drinks the Fountain of Eternity will surely be able to conceive successfully in the following year. Without the Fountain of Perpetuity, it would be a miracle that a pair of elves would be able to give birth to three children in their lifetime. For the green forest elves, who have a natural lifespan of more than 200 years, this fertility rate is really pitifully low.

The Living Tree will attract some predators as it grows, so it needs to be protected by the Elven Tribe. The more powerful the Living Tree, the stronger the predators it attracts. When the guardian elves are not strong enough, the tree of life does not dare to grow. Over the long years, the two sides have formed such a mutually beneficial and symbiotic relationship.

While the elders were arguing fiercely, a large dark cloud suddenly appeared below the tree of life. In the next moment, countless flashes poured out of the dark clouds, turning a large area into a forbidden area for life.

Since the Living Tree absorbs most of the nutrients in the soil, it can only grow grass around it. And when the thundercloud storm in the Pamirs fell, the elves who enjoyed life on the meadow were tragic.

Seeing dozens of heavily armed invaders emerge through the forest and into the realm of the Living Tree, the elves panicked

A small group of elven warriors bravely rushed forward, but they were hit by a group of dreads and fell into chaos, and the two warriors who resisted the dreadful spell instantly became alone.

Agamemnon wielded a giant sword, slashing the two elven warriors into eight pieces with their weapons, and then turned around and praised Daimei: "The timing is well chosen. ”

The frightened elven warriors had little resistance and were cut down one by one by the Dawn Knights.

Richard and Reilly strode forward, directly through the storm of thunderclouds in the Pamirs, towards the Tree of Life. The followers followed, straight through the range of the thundercloud storm, and Pamir's eyes were straight.

Thunderstorm is a group attack spell that indiscriminates against enemies, and once within its range, anyone will be attacked by lightning. The puppet knights around Rayleigh took turns casting the shield wall, creating a safe passage. The crowd quickly passed through the magical area to the foot of the Tree of Life.

Reilly pointed to the top of the tree and said, "I'm going to deal with the upper echelons of the elven tribe, you stay here to intercept the other elves, and pay attention to protecting the spellcaster!"

With that, he led ten Knights of Dawn to attack the Tree of Life. The golden-robed mages unleashed lightning spells and launched an attack on a treehouse at the top of the Tree of Life.

In recent days, Gore has been spying on the elven tribe. The treehouse was frequented by druids, which caught her attention. This morning, the Elven Grand Elder called the druids into the treehouse, and they haven't come out yet. Upon learning of this, Reilly made the cottage his primary target.

At this time, a green shield suddenly appeared on the canopy of the tree, blocking the lightning from the outside. It was a ninth-level natural protection, with a very strong defensive power.

Richard's eyes lit up and he said to Pamir: "Master, prepare for magic cover!"

Pamir nodded and began to chant the incantation. Ten seconds later, a thick bolt of lightning appeared in the sky, pouring down like a waterfall and falling on the place shrouded in natural protection. The white lightning bolt and the green shield are entangled with each other, constantly consuming each other's energy. The electric light poured out in the blink of an eye, but it didn't go away. It turned into countless arcs of electricity that covered the surface of the shroud!

The natural protection was broken in an instant, and those arcs of lightning also fell on the bodies of the six elven elders, causing them great pain.

Pamir's face was pale and he almost fell to the ground. The ninth-level magic thunder prison forest was also a big burden for him.

Reilly unleashed the Void Jump ability and flashed into the treehouse. At this time, those elven elders had not yet recovered from the damage caused by the Thunder Hell Forest, and could only watch with desperate eyes as Rayleigh knocked them unconscious.

"Gore, you stay and watch them. Reilly said lightly.

"It's a shame that people want to fight. A girl in a trench coat slowly emerged from Reilly's shadow, it was Gore.

"Let it go, and when I go to the Peerless Battlefield, you can play to your heart's content. With that, Reilly walked out of the treehouse.
