Most of the time, these treemen choose to take root in a relatively comfortable growing environment, sometimes staying in the same place for more than a decade, absorbing nutrients from the earth and sunlight.

Treemen rarely appear in front of the world because they prefer to grow quietly and freely and not have too much contact with the outside world. Of course, the relationship between the Treants and the Elemental has always been good, as they both have a responsibility to protect the ancient forest.

When treants feel that their environment is no longer comfortable, they choose to migrate and find a new place to put down roots.

According to legend, they are the true guardians of the forest. If anyone dares to destroy this ancient forest, they will fight the enemy to the end.

Ace quickly walked out of the ancient forest, breathed in the fresh air of the savannah, and felt refreshed.

This trip to the Ancient Forest didn't succeed in opening the trade route between the Elemental Envoys and Namcloud City, but Ace still made a lot of money. Not only does he develop a good friendship with the Elemental Emissaries, but he also learns his mother's true identity. What's more, he also received the inheritance of the dragon clan and learned two different dragon roars, as well as more dragon secrets and knowledge.

Even so, he knew the way to reseal the Abyss Gate, but he couldn't implement it for the time being, because there were no Hades-level figures on the Mandala Continent.

It can be said that this time Ace returned with a full load.

At this time, he was in a good mood. He whistled clearly at the sky. Soon, he heard the roar of the little titan in the sky.

Compared to Ryles, the roar of "freedom" sounds too pleasant at this point.

Liberty lands quickly, and it flirts with Ace.

Ace gently brushed "Freedom" and said with a smile, "Let's go!" Let's go back to Nanyun City! I still have a lot to deal with! ”

After saying that, Ace jumped on the back of "Freedom".

A man and a titan quickly flew into the sky and disappeared into the distant sky.

Ace sat on the back of "Freedom", looked down at the nomadic tribes on the prairie, and sighed in his heart.

Based on information from the Dragon Legacy, Ace learns that these nomadic tribes originally lived in the middle of the continent, in the central and western part of the present-day New Delhi Empire.

However, more than 20,000 years ago, Hades led his people from the ancient and desolate Isle of Origin to cross the endless ocean in countless ships to this beautiful and abundant purple land.

At that time, the ancestors of these nomadic tribes, subhumans, also occupied most of the territory and lived in a very primitive environment, living mainly on farming and hunting.

However, after Hades led the New Delhiites here, they began to expand outward, expanding from one city to the current 17 cities.

During this period, Hades repeatedly warned his people not to be too greedy, but the New Delhiites ignored this and continued to expand their territory.

Eventually, the aborigines were driven out of the plains and onto the savannah. Finally, gradually became a nomadic tribe.

Hades was not their king, but the high priest of the empire. At that time, he devoted himself to the study of the mystical meaning of magic, with very limited restrictions on New Delhi people.

Finally, one day, the greed of the people of New Delhi caused a great disaster. They mined Philosopher's Stones and Minerals without limits, unexpectedly opening the gates of the Abyss.

At that time, a large number of demons poured into the world, which dealt a huge blow to the New Delhi Empire at that time.

Hades had to spend a lot of magic to build a huge magic circle to seal the Abyss Gate once again and warn people all over the world not to enter the five forbidden areas.

However, human greed and lust are like a bottomless pit that simply cannot be filled.

More than a decade ago, two magicians tried to enter one of the forbidden places in order to obtain the Philosopher's Stone. Although they ultimately failed, they unexpectedly unleashed the Great Demon Dahl.

Ace knows that now that the Abyss Gate has been reopened, it must have a close relationship with the demon!

He glanced again at the herdsmen who were herding their sheep. He couldn't help but feel guilty. Thinking of the greedy nobles in the capital of the Empire, Ace felt a nameless rage.

Just as he was thinking, Ace noticed that Nagumo City appeared in a distant vision.

He couldn't help but smile softly. Ace has always had an indescribable affection for this small town in the northern part of the empire.

Soon, "Freedom" brought Ace back to Nabulome City.

This time, Ace didn't deliberately let freedom converge. Before he landed, the sound of a roar echoed throughout the town.

After hearing the roar, many civilians in Nanyun City hid in fear, thinking that a high-level demonic beast had suddenly launched an invasion.

Until one of the guards shouted, "Master Ace is back!" ”

It was then that some brave men leaned out of the window to see a handsome young man, Monchi D. Ace, the young master of Nanyun City, standing at the top of a giant Titan.

For a time, cheers spread throughout the city. After learning the truth, the children and women also ran out, smiling and waving to Ace in the distant sky.

Ukin was even more excited, and he dragged his younger brother Mitch out of the city and rushed out of the gates of Nagumo City, becoming the first to welcome Ace back.

After the fall, Ace walked over to the brothers and stroked their little heads with a smile.

At this time, Ukken's face was full of pride, and he kept winking at his friends not far away.

Miki grabbed Ace's big hand, pointed to the big Titan behind him and asked, "Master Ace, can I fly with him?" ”

Ace smiled and said, "In the future, it will definitely be!" But now because you two are too young to control it. When you grow up and make it to the Imperial Barracks, I'll let Freedom take you off! The higher you fly, the better, okay? ”

The two brothers' eyes filled with freedom, and then they both nodded heavily.

At this time, a handsome middle-aged man walked out of the city and came to Ace with a smile on his face.

Ace looked up at him and said with a faint smile, "Father, I'm back." ”

Kamikaze patted Ace on the shoulder: "It's good to come back!" ”

The father and son returned to the city surrounded by the people of Nagumo City.

Only Ace and Kamikaze remained in the castle hall.

Ace smiled bitterly and said, "Father, I'm really sorry that I didn't fulfill my promise after I left this time. Now, we have to think of other ways to solve the problem of mineral resources. ”。

Kamikaze doesn't care at all. He waved his hand and said, "It's not easy to escape from the ancient forest. At least it shows that you didn't have an unpleasant quarrel with the elements. As for iron ore, we are not in a hurry. There are other ways to do it. ”

At this time, Ace's expression softened a lot, and he said, "Not only did I not have a conflict with them, but I also established a good friendship, especially with the princess of the Elemental Kingdom. ”

Ace recounts his experiences in the Elemental Kingdom. After listening to this, the kamikaze, which was always calm and steady, could not help but show his surprise.

Get the Elemental Treat? This is not something that ordinary people can do.

Seeing that his son is becoming more and more mature and has his own methods and ideas for dealing with various things, Kamikaze is naturally very happy.

At this time, Ace remembered the identity of her mother Sharina again, and couldn't help asking, "Father, do you know her mother's true identity?" ”

Kamikaze's expression was visibly glazed. After a slight consternation, he sighed and said, "Do you already know?" ”

Ace nodded: "Yes." Is Mom really an elemental? ”

Kamikaze looked a little frustrated: "Yes, I also found out later. ”

It turned out that Sharina didn't tell Kamikaze her identity at first. When she became pregnant, she feared that she would give birth to a child like an elemental angel, which would scare the kamikaze. She reveals her true race to the kamikaze.

How could kamikaze care about this? He was completely immersed in the joy of his wife's pregnancy. He assured Sarina that if the child born looked like an elemental envoy, the husband and wife would spend the rest of their lives away from the New Delhi Empire in the mountains and forests, without fear of the eyes of others.

As a result, Ace is completely human and nothing out of the ordinary. The couple took it for granted to stay in the New Delhi Empire.

"How do you know? What did the Elemental King tell you? Kamikaze asked.

Ace shook his head, "No, it's Guron Ryls. ”

"Ryles?" Kamikaze was stunned on the spot.

Ace gave a brief account of his meeting with Ryles.

Hearing this, Kamikaze suddenly fell into deep thought. After a long time, he said, "Although you know the way to seal the gate of the abyss, you can't find the existence of the Hades level, so it's pointless. ”

Ace also sighed helplessly: "Anyway, I at least learned this method." As for how to implement it, I can't do anything about it. ”

Just as the father and son were silent one after the other, they heard a sudden horn outside.

Ace looked at his father suspiciously, and Kamikaze's face suddenly changed: "It should be that the signal tower has changed!" ”

Hearing this, Ace hurried out, and then the fast car climbed the highest wall of the castle. Looking into the distance, he saw the closest signal tower to Nanyun City. At this point, a yellow beam of light shoots into the sky.

Ace's eyebrows immediately furrowed, then he turned to the kamikaze and said, "Father......"

Before he could finish speaking, the kamikaze waved his hand and said, "Hurry up!" The empire seems to be in danger! ”

Ace nodded heavily, and then hurried to Nanyun City.

Looking at Ace's distant back, Kamikaze couldn't help but say to himself: "Sharina, did you see it?" Our son is now also a hero of the Empire! It's just that the responsibility on his shoulders is too heavy, and sometimes it hurts a little. ”

Ace quickly escaped from the city, then whistled to summon "Freedom" and without hesitation, he took to the air and flew towards the Monster Mountain Range.

Ace roughly estimated that signal towers would be built every 50 miles. It takes more than 10 minutes for the signal to be transmitted from Warcraft Mountain to Nanyun City. In other words, ten minutes ago, the situation at the Abyss Gate began to deteriorate.

Ace flew back to Warcraft Mountain from Nanyun City. At a normal rate, it will take about two days. At that point, the situation may change. He couldn't wait that long.

"Can you hurry up?" Ace patted Liberty on the neck and said.

Freedom roared, as if he understood what Ace meant.

In an instant, Ace felt his entire body lean backwards, and his free flight speed would be faster!

Ace only felt the wind blowing through his ears. At this time, he was in the air and could not hear anything.

After more than half an hour of flight, the "Freedom" was somewhat tired, and the speed gradually returned to normal.

Ace let it rest for a while, then continued to accelerate.

In this way, Ace only spent a little more than a day flying to the edge of the Warcraft Mountain Range.

It was already the afternoon of the second day.

When he landed, he found that the empire had many soldiers. At this time, he also returned to the Warcraft Mountains from all over the empire.

People's faces don't look good. Now they don't know what's going on inside. However, since the towers have turned yellow, this indicates that the situation is not promising. The Imperial army stationed on the mountains of the Warcraft Mountains is very nervous and may not be able to defend it at any time.

A group of people kept running towards the central area and found many high-level magical beasts. At this time, they began to run out of the mountains in desperation.

Ace and the others initially wanted to intercept. After all, the destructive power of these high-level magical beasts cannot be underestimated. Once they break through the Warcraft Mountains, they will have a huge impact on the New Delhi Empire.

However, after killing two or three high-level magical beasts, Ace and them soon gave up interception. Because there were too many Warcraft Mountain Ranges, it was impossible for him to successfully intercept all the targets, which also significantly slowed down the speed of entering the core combat zone.

In the end, they had no choice but to give up, try to avoid the swarm of demonic beasts, and go to the mainland as soon as possible.

There are several high-level wind mages on the team. With the blessing of their "wind" magic, the speed of the crowd increased considerably. It took just over three hours to pass through dense forests and into the inland plains.

After arriving at the plain, people look at the snow-capped mountains in the distance and can't help but stand there.

I saw that the snow-capped mountain, which used to be very high, had collapsed in half. The snow on the top of the mountain has completely melted, and in its place is a myriad of red magma.

Ace's face was very ugly, and he shouted to the people around him, "What are you doing here? Go and save people! ”

His roar finally woke the magicians, warriors, and knights who were frozen in place.

"Give me a wind magic!" Ace said to a high-ranking wind mage.

With the support of "Gale", Ace continued to run towards the core.

After the defeat of the "Gale", he advanced at high speed with "extreme speed" and soon left the army far behind.

At this point, he was anxious because of his teachers, brothers, and partners, as well as Klin. They're all in the core war zone! How can this not worry Ace?

If it weren't for the dragon's sensitive identity, Ace would have wanted to use the dragon's wings to hurry! After all, the dragon wing can provide him with extremely terrifying flight speeds.

It took Ace more than two hours to reach the Imperial military camp out of breath.

By this time, the barracks had fallen into disarray, and casualties were everywhere.

"Is there still a Holy Light Mage? We need a high-level Holy Light Mage! ”

"Where is the alchemist? The wound medicine here has run out and needs to be replenished! ”

"Anyone else? There are wounded here who need immediate treatment! ”

......

Before Ace entered the barracks, he heard countless cacophony of voices and a strong smell of blood mixed with the smell of various poisons.

At this time, Ace heard a very familiar voice.

"Where are the wounded?"

Ace followed him, but Calero stood nearby and looked around.

His hands were covered in blood, but he didn't notice. His eyes were just anxious. Compared to the first time Ace met him, Calero has really changed a lot. He lost his arrogant temper.

Soon, Calero found Ace. He was shocked at first, then a sad smile appeared on his face.

Ace quickly walked over and asked, "What is the situation of the civil war now?" ”

"Honestly, I don't know," Calero said. Because there are so many wounded soldiers, there is a need for more Light Mages and Alchemists here. So I didn't have a chance to go into the battle circle to check the situation! ”

"What about the other team members?" Ace asked.

Calero pointed to the huge magical barrier in the distance, "Except for me and Arak, they all entered the first barrier. They entered in the morning and have not yet returned. ”

Ace looked at the sky. It was night, and it was going to get dark soon. He couldn't help but be even more worried.

At this time, not far away, a wounded soldier staggered into the barracks and said in a hoarse voice: "Help, help!" ”

Calero hurriedly hugged him and took him to a nearby barracks for treatment.

As the soldier passed by Ace, Ace clearly saw that one of his arms was missing. Blood stained his whole body, and it looked like his left leg was basically broken, and there were countless wounds on his body.

Of course, this is not the first time Ace has seen this happen. During the three-year battle against the demons, some soldiers inevitably suffered serious injuries and broken hands and feet. However, this was the first time Ace had encountered so many people who were so badly injured like today.

Just as he was in a trance, he suddenly heard Clynn crying.

Ace's whole heart pounded, and his face suddenly changed: Is Kling hurt? Or maybe he met a demon!

Ace was in a hurry, and he hurried to the front of the road. However, Kling knelt down not far away. In front of him lay a corpse covered in a white cloth.

The body was surrounded by three soldiers with red eyes and sad expressions.

Ace hurriedly stepped forward to hug him, and then began to check Klin's health: "Klin, are you okay?" Are you hurt? ”

When Kling saw Ace return, he felt even more aggrieved. He looked at the corpse beside him and began to cry quietly.

"Victor is dead. Before leaving this morning, he said he would return home to see his daughter after returning from victory. His daughter was only four years old, and she lost her father! Clint cried as she spoke, looking sad.

Ace's heart hurts. He admired Victor. As the deputy commander of the Storm Bear Combat Regiment, he always rushed to the front line of the battlefield and never flinched.

In addition, Victor has always attached great importance to his subordinates and never looked down on his brothers.

Ace remembers that Victor once said to himself that he had to take Ace home to see his lovely daughter when he had time. Looking back now, Ace couldn't help but feel his nose sour.

"What's going on inside?" Ace tried to keep his composure and asked the soldiers.

One of the soldiers, in a hoarse voice, said: "The situation is not promising. Now, if we calculate the strength of the deputy commander Viktor by each of them, it is estimated that 7 people were killed in battle. ”

"Seven people? Less than a day? Ace was shocked because the situation at the Abyssal Gate had been relatively stable for the past three years. Before Ace leaves, very few Magisters will die in the Core War Zone.

But now, in less than a day, seven Magister-level figures have died? Such a loss is truly terrible.

But the soldier continued: "Now, all officers above the rank of Magister have entered the second level. According to the information just sent back, although the Empire has sent all the mages, the situation in the internal war circle is still very unpleasant! ”

Ace didn't believe it: "Is it really serious? Did any lord-level demons come out? ”

The soldier shook his head blankly: "We don't know the specific situation, because except for the seven heroes who died in the war, none of the officers who entered the circle of the civil war came out. ”

Ace frowned and looked at the magic barrier in the distance.

He thought for a moment, then asked, "What about the outer war circle?" Do you have any information? ”

The soldier pointed to the wounded around him and lamented: "As you can see, these soldiers, who suffered heavy losses and were hors de combat, were rescued from the outer combat circles, and the death toll has already reached more than 200 people!" This was a statistic half an hour ago, but in fact the number is still growing. Before entering the inner ring battle, Commander Al also made it clear that only those who have a high level or higher of strength can enter the outer ring to participate in the battle! “

"Advanced? Isn't Lyon ineligible to enter? Ace looked around, but couldn't find Leon.

The soldier said, "Leon? Is that the fat guy of your team? It is said that half a month ago, he also broke through and entered the level 7 magician, so he is qualified to participate in the battle! ”

"I see!" Ace fell into deep thought.

At this time, someone not far away shouted: "Bardock! Come here. We need to transport a batch of weapons and armor to the outer combat circle! ”

A soldier named Bardock quickly agreed, and then greeted Ace to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Ace stopped them.

Bardock turned to look at Ace. He didn't know what else he needed to ask.

"You have to transport the equipment to the outer combat circle, and I will participate in the battle. Let's go together! Ace said to the three men.

Happy expressions immediately appeared on the faces of the three men. They should know that there are many dangers in the magic barrier. Even if they only transport materials, their lives are at risk.

As an eighth-level dark mage, Ace asks to follow them. Naturally, they are delighted.

It's been a long time since they've heard about Ace's deeds. They know that Ace is already a young hero with outstanding achievements in the army. If you can move forward with him, it will naturally add a lot of security.

Soon, Ace followed a team of more than a dozen mid-level soldiers, carrying three carts of various armored weapons, towards the outermost magic barrier.

The dozen or so soldiers were all rank five or sixth, so they were not eligible to participate in battles within the barrier and could only do some manual labor in the barracks.

As the team slowly approached the outer barrier, Ace could already feel the battle wave coming from within.

When they walked out of the fence, the convoy stopped.

Ace said to a dozen soldiers, "You go back first, and I'll deal with these armors and weapons!" ”
