After listening to the reports of the nobles, Longinus was a little surprised, he did not expect such a change in the Druid sect this year.

However, it was nothing more than an accident for him.

After all, the Golden Clan and the Druids have been in love with each other for hundreds of years, dating back to the end of Queen Sari's reign.

In the battle around the forest, either you kill me or I kill you, and this has always been the case.

In his view, this was just a repeat of history, with the Druids regaining the upper hand.

It was a headache for him, but it wasn't worth the fuss.

Because he knew that the druids were rigid and old-fashioned, and their doctrine of protecting nature was a shackle that limited their development.

No matter what kind of power they have, they will only nest in the forest, and they will not be able to pose a fundamental threat to Hengcheng at all, at best, they will only be a disease of ringworm.

It is itchy, but it is not a fatal threat.

Even, because of the druid's strict defense of the forest, the price of timber in Hengcheng remained high.

Timber, which is more expensive than gold, has given rise to a large number of poachers, and even the aristocracy, who have never disdained to work, can't help but get a piece of the pie.

In a sense, it was the druids who pushed the timber trade to a climax, and also indirectly promoted the development of Hengcheng.

Of course, this does not mean that he can tolerate provocations.

Looking at the uneasy eldest prince, Longinus pondered for a moment and said:

"Despite the objective reasons, I am disappointed that you are the way you are.

You are my son when you are by my side, and as a father I allow you to snuggle under my wings and accept my protection.

And when you are away from home, your identity is not only my son, but also the face of the Vongers family.

The dignity of the family of God is inviolable because we are the agents of the Creator on earth. ”

Speaking of this, Longinus looked at the nobles on the side, and under the impact of the king's momentum, the injured nobleman's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but bow his head.

"Pass my orders and transfer the Dragon Slayer Legion to join the hunting season.

Didn't you say that the Druids were moving the forest, this is your chance to atone for your sins? ”

Hearing this, several nobles nodded again and again, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

When they heard the name of the Dragon Slayer Legion, they knew that the King of Hengcheng in front of them was coming for real.

The Dragon Slayer Legion is the most elite unit in Hengcheng, and its predecessor can be traced back to the Dragon Slayer Guard long ago, which was a temporary guard formed by Alain the Drifting King to deal with the Dragonborn.

After the death of King Drifting, Queen Shari inherited the Dragon Slayer Guard, which gradually grew in the hands of other successor rulers and continues to this day.

Through the previous report of the nobles, Longinus was keenly aware of the fighter.

In the past, druids came and went in the forest without a trace, and there was no way to concentrate their efforts on targeting.

And this time they chose to relocate the forest, which revealed a major flaw, and he decided to take this opportunity to teach each other a profound lesson.

…………

On the outskirts of the forest, a team of hunters in Hengcheng cut down trees with axes.

Although it was hunting season, they knew in their hearts that wood was worth much more than their prey.

With a few more strokes of the axe, a large amount of silver will come, and no one can resist the temptation.

As they desperately cut down the trees, a panther suddenly swooped down from the trees and bit off the throat of one of them.

The panther was sturdy, constantly jumping from tree to tree, gracefully harvesting the lives of the group.

"Damn, this isn't an ordinary leopard, it's a transfiguration druid!"

Although someone has realized that something is wrong, there is nothing they can do to stop the killing of the Panthers.

In an advantageous environment like the forest, it is the top assassin.

In just a moment, none of the hunters from Hengcheng were killed.

At this time, I saw that the body of the black panther quickly stretched, and in an instant, it changed from a four-legged beast to a human form.

That's right, this shapeshifting druid is none other than Bennu.

Looking at the felled trees around him, he said coldly to the corpse:

"It's ridiculous that you're a bunch of greedy guys, you're desperately trying to get from nature, but you can't even care about the lives of your own people."

Thinking of the family that made a living from burning charcoal, there was no charcoal to keep warm in the winter, and the seriously ill brother could only wait for death, Bennu couldn't help but spit on the corpse again.

In his opinion, Hengcheng is just prosperous on the outside, and the inside is really rotten.

He took advantage of the hunting season to sneak attack the nobles of Hengcheng, and in addition to the duties of the druids, there was no lack of thoughts of revenge on these high-ranking people.

After killing the men, he took out the hemp rope and prepared to hang the corpse.

Just as he was busy, the sound of nut shells shattering came from his body.

Seeing this, Bennu quickly reached into his arms and took out an object.

It was an acorn with crumbling skin, and it was the signal for the Oak Sage to summon an emergency assembly of the druids.

Bennu did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly rushed to the position of the front line.

When he returned to the southern forest, he was startled by the earth-shattering shouts nearby.

I saw a cavalryman dressed in crimson heavy armor fighting the druids here.

Not only were these cavalrymen numerous, but almost all of them were elementals, and in their successive attacks, the trees were burned and the druids were caught in a bitter battle.

And the elite in front of him is the famous dragon slayer army, Bennu didn't know that it was precisely because of his assassination of the nobles of Hengcheng that this great war was triggered.

As a member of the Druids, Bennu joined the battle without caring for anything else.

I saw that he leaned over, pressed his hands to the ground, and turned into a brown bear in the blink of an eye.

"Roar!"

With the roar, the bear's body swelled rapidly like a balloon, and he rushed into the battlefield without any pause.

Bennu was able to make the animals he changed in a short period of time have far more power than ordinary individuals.

At this time, the giant bear he transformed into rushed directly into the battlefield like a runaway steamroller, and all the enemies in his path were overturned.

The rain-like elemental power smashed on his body, only making him feel a tingling pain, but it couldn't really hurt him, but instead made him angry.

The battle that had been at a disadvantage, but because his intervention began to tilt in the opposite direction, the druids were regaining the initiative.

As time passed, Bennu's massive bear body began to shrink, and he knew it was a sign of running out of strength.

However, he has already done what needs to be done.

Just as he was rejoicing in the reversal of the situation, an inattentive knight was slashed in the back by a close-quarters knight.

Weakened, he couldn't be as brave as before, and a deep scar suddenly appeared on his back.

However, Bennu was not to be outdone, he raised his bear claws and backhanded the opponent to fly away.

The opponent's red helmet was also knocked off by this blow, which allowed Bennu to see the opponent's appearance clearly.

The other party was a knight who looked quite young, with fair skin and a not very muscular body, surprisingly consistent with the nobles he had killed.

Looking at the young man in front of him, who was suspected of being an aristocracy, Bennu's eyes showed a look of disgust.

"The so-called aristocracy is just a moth lying on the bottom of the people to suck blood, and it is not a pity for such a guy to die."

Thinking of this, he let out a roar and rushed directly to scuffle with the other party.

Just as the two were fighting, the horn of the Dragon Slayer Legion retreating sounded.

The young man did not fight, and Bennu, who had fallen into weakness, was not able to stay.

Looking at the young man's distant back, he changed back into human form, and said quite unhappily:

"Hmph, lucky for you, don't let me meet you again.
