Chapter 426: Showdown
The military system of the army of the Elven Kingdom of Payathaime heard or saw the warning arrows of the sentry, and immediately changed into full armor and assembled in the shortest possible time. Even if it turns out to be a prank by the sentinel, the sentinel will be punished at that time; However, those who do not wear clothes and assemble when they see the warning are considered to have fled before the enemy, and the only death sentence is to die.
And this time, the elves who came with their young king actually have the status of a military, the difference is only in the standing army and the reserve. Therefore, including King Ridan III himself, and several ministers of the kingdom, after hearing the warning sound, no one asked why, and all of them put on their armor and weapons first.
It's just that when they are assembled, all the elves are confused. Alert enemies within the range of the World Tree? What kind of idiot would trouble an elf in such a place?
And echoing this group of elven guards in the phalanx are the elves of the Shenmu Guard. The order to warn the assembly was also effective against the Shenmu Guards, but instead of merging into the large phalanx of the Elven Guards, they assembled independently, forming another military formation that was clearly distinct from the main army formation.
At this time, they were also baffled by this assembly order. There have been many cases of invading the Elven Kingdom, but no one has been stupid enough to invade the scope of the World Tree, and it is not a tree-destroying war thousands of years ago.
All the elves looked at each other, not knowing whether to disband or not. On this occasion, there was still a hint of incongruity, and it was the four silverbearded dwarves who had also been driven to the assembly point. Everyone still looked like they couldn't figure out what was going on, but they still gathered around Reilly, who was dressed in peace arms.
At this time, the elven sword dancer and the four human mages were late, and instead of entering the phalanx of the kingdom army, she walked to the middle of the two sides. Looking at this appearance, many people guessed that the warning arrow may have been issued by Liena Titov. As a scout, she already has such authority and equipment. But the question is, why?
"Little girl!" In the front row of the Shenmu Guard, the eldest of the three Druid elders said, "You should understand the seriousness of lying about the military situation. β
"I don't need to be reminded by the elders, I know very well."
"Then let me ask you, where did the enemy come from?"
"Just because there are no external enemies doesn't mean there are no internal ghosts." Riena smiled coldly, shook her hand and threw out a magic stone. As the magic stone clattered to the ground, a large screen of water mirrors unfolded, showing only a static picture on it. It was two elven druid elders, sitting around a pool of blood, and a grayscale picture of a kitten floating in the air. There are both positive and negative, so that all the elves present can see clearly.
Rienara asked in a high voice, "May I ask Elder Taukacs, Elder Lats, what is your intention in placing the incarnation of His Majesty Lahti in the magic circle of the God Butcher?" β
Damn, this chick is just turning over the table. Someone following behind thought so. In fact, as early as when she shot a howling arrow, Lin felt that it was not good. This kind of thing shouldn't be done secretly, and if it gets bigger, I'm afraid that the matter will not be serious enough and chaotic enough.
"We are for the good of His Majesty Lahti. Remove for Him the part that does not need to exist as the guardian of the kingdom, the World Tree. Your Majesty will not do any harm, and everything will be as it has been in the past, like a guardian, silently and selflessly guarding all the king's subjects. β
"Hmph, is it under your control?"
"What's wrong with being under our control? Or are we left to the likes and dislikes of the World Tree to decide which of us deserves help and which doesn't. And the expelled elves can only face this cruel world alone. No! It should never be, He's just a tree! β
The druid's emotional remarks may not have been made clear, but they raised a question. With the same World Tree, the population of the Wood Elf tribe is not at all the same as the population of a kingdom. After thinking about the reasons behind it, there may be something chilling.
The secret story between the elves may not be new to Riena, so she no longer continues to dwell on the rights and wrongs of this point with the other party, and says, "Well, I have another question. There are two hundred and thirteen Shenmu Guards in total, have you all arrived? Even when the three elders have responded to the call, where have the people who didn't come gone? βββ
Li Ena didn't wait for a few elders who were able to argue with her to raise the bar, but threw out another magic stone, and directly presented the real picture of a bunch of elves being wrapped in a bunch of elves that were no different from hell and hanging like clothes worms and bleeding in front of everyone's eyes.
"βor should I ask, are they still alive?"
"This ......" the elven druid elder was speechless for a moment, and could only shift his focus and ask, "Where did you get these images?" β
"Asking me how I got it, instead of asking me if it's true or not, it seems that the news is indeed correct. But I suggest you don't have to think about how my message came about; First of all, explain the life and death of these elves. Riena pointed to the group of elves who did not know whether they were alive or dead in the video.
As if annoyed, speaking on behalf of the Divine Tree Guard, the eldest Elder Cayden scolded, "It's all Valeria's little girl's fault! Had it not been for her accidental awakening of the World Tree, His Majesty Lahti would still be sleeping peacefully. In the process, we can naturally gather enough materials in a relatively peaceful way to keep His Majesty Lahti asleep. And not like now, we have to use such rude means, sacrificing our compatriots, in order to achieve the goal! β
Hearing that his favorite little sister was named, Ridan III couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart. Especially listening to the meaning of those words, it seems that all the fault must be on my little sister who is still ignorant of everything. It's just that the other party's status is too high, and if there is no good reason, even if he is a king, he can only be obediently reprimanded in front of the three druid elders.
Similarly, the elven druid elder who was in a frenzy actually suppressed all the elves present in terms of momentum. For a while, everyone couldn't think about the right and wrong, but just habitually succumbed to authority, nodding their heads submissively.
"You made it all up, human magician!" It wasn't enough to reprimand his juniors, Elder Kaiden sprayed at a few humans who looked like they didn't care about themselves: "What's the use of making the World Tree advance, such a meaningless thing?" What do you think you are, hooking up with those savage elves of the Wood Elves, and you will become an ally of the World Tree? What does it have to do with you whether they make the cut or not? Why do you interfere in the internal affairs of my kingdom? With the demon king around you who destroyed my country once? Have you ever wondered where you are now! β
"Lahti is not promoted, or even if he is not alive, of course it has nothing to do with me." Someone's bright conclusion shocked not only his two apprentices, but also Riena, Hitan III, and the elven guards who had followed the young king.
Seeing the surprised appearance of most people, Lin was a little proud, but he also had to continue to explain: "I was originally invited over. But it doesn't matter to me to do it or not to do it. No, business as usual, I continue my journey; To do it, I can also get what I need from the research process. I am indeed not a Friend of the World Tree, and I have no responsibility or obligation to any of the World Trees except for the Vardwo with whom I have a friendship. What kind of attitude you intend to use towards your World Tree, this is your freedom, national focus, ideas, whatever. Again, that's not something I should interfere with. β
"Now that you understand that, you shouldn't bother with these things or even set foot in here. But you've helped these elves who don't know anything to create these slanderous images. Do these things, what do you have to say. β
Being questioned so unreasonably by an old man, no matter how soft someone's personality is, it is a little unpleasant. Lin replied a little sternly: "I will investigate these things because you have something to hide, and those may have something to do with me." To confirm this, I tried to investigate. All this is to find out, what is the position of you, and of them, "in the direction of Didan III"? Because I know very well that a group of people who claim to play chess will definitely not hesitate to sacrifice a few chess pieces that have nothing to do with them. I don't want to be sacrificed, or given up. So this is the only way to find out what the hell you're up to. If I can't do anything, I'll leave ...... Open. β
There will be a break in the sentence because the person who was backstabbed triggers the self-protection mechanism of the flashing technique in order to flash the backstab of the person who performed the backstabbing, so that he can come to the back of the backstabbing person in an instant.
Lin Leng watched the back of the elven transcendent assassin who missed the blow, and Vasily Petrovich prepared to jump into the shadow world again. Before that, the Smith & Wesson M29 extended revolver in someone's hand had a hammer slamming into the tail end of the special magic stone ammunition.
Armor made from the World Tree is completely immune to pure energy attacks. Among the seven magic guns made by Dan Lin, the big hammer in his hand is the only magic gun that can shoot live ammunition, and it is amazingly powerful.
As the magic stone bullets in the magazine were shot out with an unimaginable explosion sound that the elves could not imagine, the mass of the live ammunition at close range directly penetrated the World Tree plate armor and entered the elves' bodies. At this time, the power and magic in the magic stone bullet produced a disorderly interaction, and then lost its balance and exploded violently.
In the eyes of others, he was an elf who was about to jump into the shadow world, and a violent explosion occurred in his chest and abdomen, directly blasting him into two pieces. Moreover, the upper half of his torso fell into the shadow world, and then suddenly appeared not far from the direction he was traveling; But the lower half of the elf's body remained in place forever. In this way, a transcendent, the strongest of the assassins, not only missed, but also died under a strange weapon.
"I don't have a position, and I can leave at any time. But if you have taken me as an enemy and have gambled your life, are you ready for enlightenment? β
