"Grandfather, what the hell did those elves do to make you so angry?"

Olaf really didn't understand why his grandfather was so angry, and although he was a little afraid of Toby in this state, his reason told him that he had to figure it out.

"It's none other than you, just do what you have to do, let us handle these parts, get ready to get started, the plan won't change in any way because of those long-eared ultimatums, unless they can really pull the root system of the tree of life away, but if they can do it, they won't come here to give us an ultimatum."

Toby's eyes, which were covered by thick hair, glanced at his grandson who came over, and unceremoniously asked the other party not to care about what they had to do, and to get ready to get started.

"But ......"

Olaf hesitated, intending to say something.

"Let you operate that robotic arm, but give me a good job, and if you accidentally make a mistake and let some important parts fall, I'll hang you on that for seven days."

Knowing too well the temperament of Olaf, Toby threw out the king bomb directly.

"Good! Hehe, even if it's hanging on it!"

Olaf really stopped pestering Toby, his eyes lit up, saliva almost dripping down the corners of his mouth, and the sense of anticipation directly covered all other emotions, including questions.

"Go ahead, do a good job, don't disgrace our Copperbeard Clan."

Punching Olaf in the back, Toby watched Olaf disappear from view as he trotted towards the robotic console, turned his head again, and met one of the chiefs here, Jenkins Iron Axe.

"You can tell me a solution?"

Jenkins scratched at his thick, messy hair and said to Toby.

"The plan continues, no need to stop, I'll go and negotiate with those elves, I want to see what kind of madness they have, so suddenly they want us to stop using the tree of life, inexplicable."

Toby threw the anger that overflowed in the short period of time out of his mind, and the whole person became much calmer, as a very famous wise man among the dwarves, many details of the "Deep Digging Plan" were formulated by Toby, which is why Jenkins asked him what to do.

"I hope the long ears will understand something, and if the long ears are going to be as hard as they say in their ultimatum, then I'm going to let them know why Ironforge is here at this border."

Toby walked to a room in the space, opened a box, and pulled out a sledgehammer inside, the surface of which shimmered with a bright silver plating, which was several centimeters thick Mithril.

"Calm down, you took this thing out, be careful of going too far with them."

Jenkins glanced at the sledgehammer Toby had taken out, his eyelids jumped, "Smash" was the name of this hammer, Mithril's demon-breaking nature and the pure gold filling inside was enough for this weapon to shatter everything in front of him in the hands of someone strong enough.

"It's been a long time since I've used this weapon, it's time to move, it's not us who have gone overboard this time, it's the group of long ears, if we really want to fight, when have we dwarves been afraid."

Toby said casually, slung the hammer on his shoulder, and took the ultimatum from the elven messenger as he headed for the train outside, where he was going to meet the elven messengers.

……

On the outskirts of the Elven capital of Leahim, in the Forest of Origin, a group of Elven Rangers is jumping between the branches of the trees, rushing towards a part of the forest.

"How far is it!?"

"It'll be there in five minutes!"

"I don't know if it's too late, it's too sudden, the state of those ancient war trees has begun to change, even the vitality carried by the branches of the tree of life can't appease them, hurry up and support."

"It just so happens that the team of rangers is a veteran of dealing with those riots and wars, and there are not enough of them, so it's a problem."

The elves sprinted at high speed while communicating with each other around them, gathering the news from the animal messengers and analyzing the current situation.

"Boom!"

There was a violent roar, and several trees suddenly flew into the sky in the distant forest, and the dirt and smoke rose up, covering a large area and obscuring the situation inside.

"Abominable ......"

This terrifying attack was seen by the rangers, their faces became even more ugly, and the frequency of their footsteps increased again.

"Be careful!"

The fastest elf leaped lightly from the branch of a tree, stamped on the trunk of the tree, and changed direction towards the place where the explosion occurred.

But at the moment when he stepped on an exceptionally tall and stout tree, there was an urgent reminder from his companion behind him.

"Brush!"

The sound of the air being torn apart by the rapidly moving object above his head reached his ears, and his heart tightened, and he quickly chanted the secret words of nature in his mouth, and a green light appeared on his arm, and he drew the short knife behind his back and threw it upwards as quickly as he could.

"Poof!"

The sound of something being cut, and the elf saw two brambles cut by the scimitar he threw out grazing past him with great speed, and green juice resembling blood flowed from the sections.

"Smack!"

There was another muffled sound, much heavier than before, the sound of a blade cutting into a wooden object, and the thing that had launched a surprise attack on him from above was hit, but it did not stop, and the sound of breaking the air in his ears did not stop.

"Whoa!"

Looking up, a large mouth full of sharp teeth entered the elf's field of vision, and a roar accompanied by the smell of saliva was heard.

Rushing down from above was a strange creature, its head replaced by a large flower, unable to see its eyes, with a large mouth full of sharp teeth in the middle, in which its long, flexible barbed tongue flicked, and saliva splattered out of its wide open mouthparts, falling on the elf's face like rain.

It appears to be a humanoid as a whole, its body is made of tangled and tangled thick vines, and its hands and feet are several thorns that move flexibly, and the monster's "left and right hands" have been cut off by the elf's scimitar just now, and now its mouthparts are wide open and bite the elf's head.

"Peng!"

The fist wrapped in green light was punched out by the elf and thrust straight into the monster's mouth, the fist of the arm was cut by the sharp teeth and barbs on the tongue with fine blood marks, and the green light exploded at the moment when the fist was completely swallowed by the mouth.

A large number of rattan weeds grew out of the monster's mouth, and suddenly stretched open the mouth that it tried to close and bite off the elf's arm.

"Whoosh!"

Several sharp air-piercing sounds, and in this short time, the other companions of the elves had already drawn their longbows behind their backs and shot arrows with added power.

Arrows glowing with a pale green glimmer pierced the monster's body one after another, and the green light spread freely between the cracks of the vines in its body, and the monster's body quickly dried up as the green light became more dazzling.

The power of the arrow does not only come from the energy attached to it, but also from the impact of the arrow itself, and the monster is shot one after another by the powerful arrow, and is immediately rushed away.

The mouthparts that swallowed the elf's arm could only helplessly allow the elf to pull out the arm with the help of those wild plants.

"Attention, there is more than one such monster here, they are coming towards us, be careful not to be attacked by these guys who have a similar breath to the forest itself, their physical strength is not weak."

The elves who had been attacked first crossed back into the middle of the elves' ranks, looking around warily.

Having experienced this monster up close, he was better able to capture the location of monsters of the same or similar nature than his companions, and they evaded their perception with an aura similar to that of the forest, hiding in all directions......

"Rustling ......"

With the faint movement and the obvious smell of blood, the rangers of the elven support team formed a circle, paying full attention to the surrounding situation, and gradually captured the large number of monsters around them.

Monsters with huge flowers on their heads, emerging from all over the place, between the canopies, in the dirt, in the crevices of rocks, etc., most of the monsters had blood stains and scraps of flesh on their mouthparts and thorny limbs, and they looked like they had just slaughtered life.

And a small number of monsters are even more direct, either dragging half of the corpse of a deer or wolf that has not yet been eaten, and from time to time leaning down and tearing off a piece of flesh full of blood with their mouthparts.

Either the prey is not dead yet, struggling frantically, but being bound by the monster's thorny limbs and unable to escape, it is devoured by the monster one bite at a time until it dies completely.

"This group of plant life, an existence that has never been seen before."

"There was absolutely no such existence in the Forest of Origin before, and it was caused by the recent anomaly."

"This forest is getting so strange, it's getting more and more bloodthirsty, oh no......"

The elves who were in a circle back to back and facing the clusters of monsters that were pressing this way around them communicated with each other, and the solemnity in their tones could not be overstated.

They didn't take the forest too seriously before, but the monsters they were facing at the moment made them feel that this forest was becoming stranger and no longer what it used to be.

"In this situation, there is no way to consider the problem of supporting the War Ancient Tree, send the messenger back, notify the other ranger groups, let them pay attention, and have the ability to support our side."

An elf alerted the member of the team who was responsible for passing the message, and the other nodded, opening a small bottle on his waist.

Inside was a bird curled up with wings, and it said the message to the bottle, and the bird immediately flapped its wings and soared into the sky with great speed, heading towards the elven capital of Leahim.

"Poof!"

But just as the bird flew over the top of a tree, several slender "branches" pierced out from between the trees, piercing the flying bird at great speed, killing it and dragging the body into the trees.

"Damn ......"

Some elves gritted their teeth and squeezed out a sentence, the situation was even worse, not only these enemies in front of them, but also unknown existences lurking among the branches and leaves of those trees.

Qi Qi drew the scimitar behind his back, discarding the bow and arrow with limited lethality to these monsters made of plants, and the elves were ready to fight to the end.

……

"Bang!"

The massive fist slammed down, and the burst of debris and wind pressure shook the elves to the side, tumbling and crashing into the trunks of nearby trees.

"Ahem!"

The violent impact caused a lot of damage to its internal organs and spine, and blood mixed with fragments of internal organs spat out of the elf's mouth and spilled on the ground, and the smell of blood gushed up from its throat and nose, making it a little dizzy.

"Get moving, Siv!"

The anxious female calls came from not far away, along with the deafening slamming of the ground, as the rampaging Ancient War Tree pursued her sister, the second member of their squad to deal with the forest riots.

The two sisters' squad had a lot of experience pacifying the Rampage War Tree, so compared to the standard configuration of five in the other squads, there were only two of them.

Originally, this was just a routine mission to deal with the rampaging War Ancient Tree.

But when Seve shot a branch of the Tree of Life near the core of the Ancient Tree of War, which had gone mad and slaughtered the animals of the Forest of Origin.

I thought that this would calm the other party down as usual, but it was a second smash that didn't stop.

The unexpected attack caused Siv's leg to be hit by the rock fragments from the smash of the Ancient War Tree, and the broken calf immediately slowed her movements, which is why she couldn't dodge the aftermath of another smash.

They have been here and this mutant war ancient tree has been in a stalemate for a long time with this mutant war ancient tree that cannot be appeased, and the violation, and the support that has been called for a long time has not arrived at this moment.

"Uh-huh......"

Struggling to get up from the ground, the sharp pain and weakness coming from her calves and body made it extremely difficult for Sif.

Barely clutching the tree next to her to her feet, Seve looked at her sister who had helped her attract the attention of the Ancient War Tree.

The next moment, Sif's pupils shrank suddenly, and her sister walked nimbly through the trees, dodging the ancient tree of war again and again, and the figure that kept smashing her fists stopped.

The reason for the stagnation was the sudden and explosive growth of vines from the canopy at the top of the ancient war tree.

Those vines seemed to have been premeditated, and the moment Sif's sister stepped on the fist of the ancient tree of war, and jumped up with force, they suddenly shot out in unison, overwhelmingly grabbing Sif's sister.

How could she have known that the War Ancient Tree would have such an ability, and the momentary relaxation combined with the premeditated extreme speed entanglement suddenly bound and entwined the elves who were jumping in the air and trying their best to dodge.

"Well, uh, let go, me!"

Siff's sister struggles with the vines, but although she is a mid-level knight, her profession is a ranger, and her lack of strength makes it impossible to break free from the vines no matter what.

And as it was locked by the vines, the giant wooden hand of the Ancient Tree of War also reached out, and opened its five fingers to grasp Siv's sister in its hand.

"No, don't!"

Sif's eyes widened, and with all her might, she drew her bow and arrows, and shot the arrows wrapped in green light at the huge wooden fist that held her sister in its hand.

However, for the overly large size of the War Ancient Tree, this arrow seemed too weak, and the arrow pierced into the War Ancient Tree's fist, but it did not attract the attention of the other party.

The Ancient Tree of War clenched its five fingers little by little, and the immense force squeezed the elves trapped in it.

"Uhh

A loud, high-pitched scream came from the fist of the Tree of War until it broke off abruptly at some point, the last sound Sister Seve had made before she died.

The bright red and piercing blood continued to flow from between the fists of the ancient tree of war, stimulating Sif's mind on the verge of collapse, and the huge amount of blood made it clear to Sif that her sister must have no hope of survival.

"Woo-ah-ah!"

Holding her head, Seve let out a howl of collapse, as if she was experiencing the same pain as her sister before she died, the bow and arrow in her hand fell to the ground, her body was broken, and she had lost the power of resistance in both mental and physical sense.

The Ancient War Tree raised its fist, which was still bleeding blood, to the top of its head, letting the blood stain most of the canopy red, tasting and enjoying the life force it craved.

The humanoid face carved into the trunk of the tree was stained red with the blood flowing from the top, giving the originally kind and peaceful face of the ancient tree of war an evil and hideous illusion.

"Bang bang bang!"

The thick legs and feet of the root system chiseled the ground again and again, causing the surrounding forest to shake with the pace of the ancient tree of war, and the terrifying oppressive force gave all the living beings around it an unimaginable intimidation.

As if realizing that Sif had completely lost his ability to resist, his movements became unhurried, and little by little he walked towards the elf whose eyes were full of dead silence and leaned against the trunk of the tree and kept making senseless sorrows.

The vines that should never have existed on the Ancient War Tree, but now inexplicably proliferated within its canopy, quickly extended out when they could reach Sif, pulling the elves up from the ground, wrapping around them and pulling them towards the Ancient War Tree.

The giant hand opened again, grabbing Sif, who was tightly wrapped around the vines and could no longer even struggle.

"Boom, boom!"

Just as the giant hand of the Ancient War Tree was about to crush Siv into a puddle of flesh, a huge rock was thrown out of the nearby trees and smashed mercilessly on the arm of the Ancient War Tree.

The earth element exploded, and the huge impact made the ancient war tree with a huge body stunned, and the third-order spell • faint boulder.

And it was at this moment of pause, a long knife turned into a streamer, without any delay, and cut off all the vines that bound Sif, without the slightest difference from splitting the air, freeing it from the trap of the ancient tree of war.

Then, the blurred figure rushed out with the long knife controlled by the invisible force, grabbed Sif's collar and carried it away from the ancient tree of war as quickly as possible.

Before the War Ancient Tree could make any moves, the figure had already disappeared between the forest trees.
