In the natural realm, under the sacred tree of life, there are more than 20 simple wooden houses.

These wooden houses were built temporarily more than a month ago for the elven empress, elven elders and other high-ranking elven clan leaders to hold meetings and temporary residences.

As for the other elves, they live in trees on the edge of the natural realm due to the task of slowing down the Dark Legion's attacks and moving the Altar of Nature.

And the original residence of the elves has long been destroyed by the dark army in the process of shrinking the natural realm.

At this moment, in the wooden house that served as a meeting house, the Elven Empress Elena was discussing the next stage of defense with Alyssa and Delny, the representatives of the Elven Elders.

Among the elves, only the Elven Empress is qualified and capable of communicating with the Sacred Tree, and after the natural realm shrinks, they all need to plan the installation location of the next Natural Altar in advance according to the information provided by Elena about the current state of the Sacred Tree of Life, the speed of power loss, etc.

Every time the natural altar is transferred, there will be a large number of casualties for the elves, so they must be careful to control the distance between the inner and outer circles of the natural altar to minimize the amount of time the elven warriors are exposed to the natural realm.

The atmosphere inside the meeting room was a bit heavy, and the Sacred Tree of Life was weakening much faster than they thought, which meant that the next natural realm contraction would be more extensive, and the number of elven warriors sacrificed would be greater, while the massive loss of land meant a lack of food.

This is one of the reasons why they want to maintain the natural realm on a large scale through the altar of nature.

Although the elves have been blessed with the sacred tree and mastered the wood magic, which can speed up the growth of plants, it still takes time.

But these are not the biggest problems, the most terrible and unsolvable problem they are facing at the moment is that they see no hope.

Even if they had enough food, they could not reverse the trend of the sacred tree's power draining and coming to the end of its life.

Once the sacred tree falls and the natural realm of the guardian elves dissipates, they will be completely wiped out by the darkness, just like countless races in the past.

"I don't know what happened to Natalia."

The female elf elder named Alyssa sighed slightly, and there was still some hope in her words.

Delni shook his head and said in an unusually determined tone, "Don't think about it, she will definitely not have anything to gain from there, and Doomlight City will definitely not send troops to help us." ”

Although he has only just turned two hundred years old this year, he is a real young man among the elves who are known for their longevity, but his great strength, keen insight, and mature mind are beyond doubt, which is why he was able to enter the Council of Elders with an exception, and now serve as the elder's representative to discuss the defense plan with the Elven Empress.

Delney was right, but human support was the most likely hope Alyssa could see at the moment, and she was unwilling to give up any hope in this desperate, bleak situation.

"There aren't all bad people in the human race."

"There are two whole dark legions outside the natural realm, even if the human race sends an army to support, without the blessing of the Dawn realm, it is definitely no match for the dark legion."

Delny, who is in charge of directing the battle, knows more about the strength of the Dark Legion than Alyssa, who is in charge of the transfer of the natural altar.

"If you want me to say, I shouldn't have promised you to send Natalia out in the first place, and sacrificed more than twenty elven warriors for nothing."

Alyssa didn't agree with his idea: "You and I both know the situation of the sacred tree, staying here is definitely a dead end, let Natalia give it a try, there is still a glimmer of hope." ”

Derney narrowed his eyes, "Who said there was no hope, we can also try the Fusion Wood Source." ”

"What are you talking about, have you forgotten the oracle of the sacred tree?"

Alyssa's eyes widened and she looked at him incredulously, for an older elf like her, who had felt the power of the sacred tree and believed in it, the edict of the sacred tree was unquestionable.

"Do you still have hope for the so-called Holy Son?"

Delni's breath was calm, and his tone was low: "Wake up, open your eyes and see, the Dark Legion has come under the sacred tree, once the natural realm is shattered, what awaits us will be the danger of extinction." ”

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, why don't you communicate with the Sacred Tree again, and see if you can let a few of us give it a try, maybe one of us will be able to fuse the source of the wood, and ...... then."

"Presumptuous!"

Alyssa's hands slammed against the wooden table, the four legs creaked overwhelmingly, and Delny's blasphemy angered her completely.

She roared like an angry lion: "Derny, you are getting bolder and bolder, and you dare to question the oracle! ”

"Could it be that you have abandoned your faith in the Sacred Tree?!"

Delney glared at her, unafraid to look directly into her gaze as if it were burning with flames, and said in a deep voice, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm just offering a suggestion. ”

The Elven Empress Elena listened silently as they got closer to arguing, not wanting to express her opinion.

After nearly two months of siege, the anguish of the destruction of their homeland and the death of their companions, the imminent fall of the sacred tree, and the despair of not being able to see the future, even the fairies with a peaceful mind and good character will inevitably breed negative emotions.

Let them quarrel and vent their emotions.

However, when it came to the oracle of the sacred tree, she could no longer remain silent.

Elena sighed secretly, her voice still calm and gentle: "Don't talk about the matter of the oracle, okay, you all go down." ”

"Your Majesty, the Holy Son also said that even if the Holy Son really appears, he will not necessarily agree to save my elven clan, which shows that the Holy Son is not necessarily much stronger than us."

Delni stood up and bowed slightly, his voice slow and low: "There is not much time left for us, and I ask the Empress to think twice about what I just proposed." ”

Alyssa's face was pale, her fists clenched, and she was about to retort sharply, when there was a sharp knock on the door, followed by an elven warrior rushing in.

The realm of nature has shrunk, and the altar of nature has shifted, and it is not possible to come so eagerly at this time...... Something went wrong at the front?

The hearts of the two elven elders tightened suddenly.

The elven warrior didn't care to catch his breath, and his tone was hurried with surprise that could not be concealed: "Princess...... Her Royal Highness is back! ”

Alyssa's eyes lit up, her body trembled slightly, and her voice was even more vibrato: "Is the human army coming?" ”

"No ......"

Alyssa's eyes quickly dimmed.

Derney sneered: "Sure enough, I said it a long time ago, how can humans help us." ”

"Two humans have returned with Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
