Chapter 29 The Horror of Fate
When he saw Green Wind, he propped himself up from his seat and asked expectantly, "Green Wind, you're back!
"Caught a big guy!"
"Big man?" The old elf elder looked excited, but he immediately calmed down and asked seriously, "How do you determine that he is a big man?"
Green Wind was prepared, handed over a magic greatsword, and said, "This is the weapon used by that knight. You can test its power. ”
The Elven Grand Elder lifted the giant sword and picked up a bone knife commonly used by elves in his left hand, but the bone blade was denser and smoother, and the patterns carved on it were more delicate and graceful. The elven elder swung his magic giant sword and slashed towards the bone knife, only to hear a crisp sound from Ding, and there was a sound of metal striking. The refined bone blade in the Elven Elven Elder's hand had been broken into two pieces, and the fracture was very smooth.
The Elven Great Elder let out a long breath and said in shock: "What a powerful sword! Even the bone knife blessed by the Tree of Life can't stop the blade, it seems that this person's status among the invaders is definitely not low!"
Green Wind said with relief, "In this way, we have a chance to save Jubu Lingfeng." ”
The Great Elder nodded slowly and said, "Lingfeng is the only druid in the entire tribe who can communicate with the Tree of Life except for me, and he is the foundation and hope for our tribe's existence. We must find a way to get him back, but we must not make the intruders aware of the importance of the Spiritual Wind. Otherwise, we will have no hope. ”
Green Wind nodded and said, "Having captured this important person among the invaders, the certainty of exchanging spiritual winds is much greater. The question is, what do we do from here? Intruders are still pouring out of the Demon Gate, and their numbers are endless!"
The wrinkles on the Elven Elven Elder's face deepened a lot, and he asked in a deep voice, "How many warriors have we lost now?"
"Since the arrival of the new invaders from the Devil's Gate, the adult warriors of the tribe have lost one hundred and six of them, and the war treants have destroyed twenty. Reiwind was captured by the intruders,"
"That means that half of the warriors in our tribe have died at the hands of the devil?" said the elven elder bitterly.
Green Wind's voice was equally bitter: "Yes. ”
The elven elder walked to the window, looked at the young elves who were constantly jumping and screaming among the branches and leaves of the giant tree, and sighed, "Perhaps...... We should have tried to negotiate with them in the first place, rather than going to war directly. The invaders before and after clearly belonged to different tribes. ”
Green Wind was stunned for a moment, and said loudly: "Great Elder, they are invaders who have come out of the Devil's Gate! No matter how many tribes they belong to, they are all invaders. We must not compromise with the invaders, we must drive them all back to the Devil's Gate, and then destroy the Devil's Gate!
The Elven Grand Elder sighed and asked, "Is this what all the druids mean?"
Greenwind was stunned and said, "There are six druids who support me. ”
The Elven Grand Elder nodded and was silent for a moment. There are ten druids in the tribe, one of them wounded and one captured, which means that only one druid disagrees with Greenwind, and the rest are supporters of Greenwind. That is, to fight to the death against the invaders.
The Elven Grand Elder said slowly, "With only the three tribes around the Devil's Gate being no match for the invaders, perhaps we should be prepared to migrate the Tree of Life. ”
"How can this be! The Tree of Life has been growing here for thousands of years!" roared Green Wind.
"What then, if the intruders find here, it will be too late to relocate!" the Elven Grand Elder was also furious.
"No way! we will never give the intruders a chance to get their hands on the Tree of Life. ”
"Really, you druids are sure to defeat the invaders?" the elven elder was unceremonious.
Green Wind's face was flushed with a layer of green, and he said angrily, "We will defend the Tree of Life with our lives!"
"What if you all die in battle?"
Green Wind was stunned, he had never thought that such a thing would come out of the mouth of the Elven Great Elder. And he had never thought about defeat or death. In the eyes of the druids, death is nothing more than a process of returning to nature, and there is nothing to be feared about.
The Elven Elder asked, "If all the druids were killed, would the invaders spare the Tree of Life, would they spare these mintiles?
Green Wind's face became more and more ugly. His fighting spirit is on fire, but since the new invaders have passed through the Devil's Gate and arrived in the Green Forest, their situation has deteriorated.
The long-term existence of the Devil's Gate has been weakening their tribe over the past few years, and although the other surrounding tribes have not stopped providing all kinds of assistance, their tribe has been weakened in the long run.
The new invaders are more cunning and aggressive, and have recently become more formidable and powerful. Their weapons and armor suddenly became incredibly powerful. Green Wind had never seen a weapon capable of cutting off a War Tree Man in one fell swoop.
No matter how much Green Wind deceives himself, he can only say that he is desperate with the invaders. Although he succeeded in capturing an important figure among the invaders this time, it was at the cost of a dozen war tree men. Those war treants knew from the beginning that they would never come back. Slow to move, they will never be able to escape the pursuit of the invaders and the strong. If it weren't for the fact that the Spirit Wind was too important, then this exchange would have been an out-and-out fiasco.
"Green Wind, think about it, if it is because of the honor and faith of you druids, you need to let the entire tribe and the tree of life be ruined for this. Can you seven druids really take on such a responsibility? Remember, these are hundreds of lives. And so far, we have paid more than a hundred lives. The Elven Grand Elder said heavily.
Green Wind opened his mouth, and finally just said, "I don't believe that those invaders can penetrate the protection of the will of the forest. ”
"Hopefully you're right. The Elven Grand Elder said tiredly.
Green Wind didn't say anything more, saluted, and left the treehouse. He jumped directly from the sky, transformed into a falcon, flew down hundreds of meters, landed at the base of the Tree of Life, and then transformed back into an elf form. In front of the green wind, there was a deep tree hole, and two elven warriors were guarding the entrance of the cave.
"Open the hole. Green Wind commanded. An elven warrior immediately slapped the wall of the tree cave, and the vines blocking the entrance of the cave immediately fell and made way for the passage.
Green Wind strode into the tree hole, spiraling all the way in, until it was more than ten meters deep underground, and then stepped on the flat ground. It is a natural cave where the roots of countless trees of life hang down, dividing the large space into a dozen small rooms. Each cubicle is home to one or more human warriors. These were all captives captured a month ago. Since Richard arrived on the Green Forest Plane, the only new prisoner in this prison is an elite humanoid knight.
The elite humanoid knight was sitting on the ground at the moment, his eyes slightly closed, his face expressionless, and he didn't care about the predicament he was in.
Green Wind's resentful gaze fell on the elite humanoid knight, and finally reluctantly turned to the other cells. The humanoid knight never spoke, no matter what the situation was, no matter how tortured he was, he always had a flat expression. Only occasionally looking at the elves' gaze will contain a killing intent that is not easy to detect.
This is not a language barrier, the druids have discovered that many of the intruder's leaders are able to speak their language, and during interrogation, the humanoid knights' expressions, although few, are clearly not incomprehensible at all. Even if you don't understand it at all, the meaning of the knife holder on the neck is straightforward enough, right?
Midori Wind felt irritated, and the knight's reaction was too calm, too calm to believe. He instinctively sensed that there was some conspiracy involved, but he could not find tangible evidence. He suddenly couldn't control himself, and said to the two warriors in a cell adjacent to the humanoid knight, "It's useless to ask you now!"
As he spoke, Green Wind popped out two seeds and shot them at the two warriors. The vines grew and spread wildly at an incredible speed, and after a dozen seconds, they were covered with the bodies of the two warriors, binding them firmly.
These vines were covered with sharp thorns ranging from several centimeters to a dozen centimeters, piercing deep into the warriors' bodies. Then the vines actually began to bulge together, and a huge suction force was generated in the hollow thorns, forcibly tearing the flesh and blood of the warriors into the vines!
The terrible screams of the two warriors resounded throughout the prison, and the rest of the warriors felt the same way, some of them were afraid, some yelled, and some desperately blocked their ears. Only the elite humanoid knight sat peacefully, occasionally glancing at the warrior who was being sucked by the vampire vines, his face still as calm as water.
The screams of the two warriors soon weakened and even disappeared. The stems and leaves of the vampire vines have many blood-colored veins. It slowly wriggled and began to bloom large patches of beautiful white flowers, and clusters of bulgical stems and buds at the base of the flowers bulged at a speed visible to the naked eye, and inside were new vampire vine seeds.
Green Wind's face was gloomy, and he shot four more seeds, killing the four human warriors alive, but the humanoid knight remained calm. In the end, Green Wind really felt that it was not interesting to go on like this, so he snorted heavily and left the prison with a grim face.
Inside the treehouse at the top of the Tree of Life, the Great Elder was walking restlessly inside. Green Wind can't be said to be wrong, and neither is he. This is just a dispute between the two paths, and the road itself can hardly be said to be right or wrong, just from what angle you look at it. Either a never-ending war with the invaders will end in the destruction of the entire tribe and the tree of life. Either compromise with the invaders and both the Horde and the Tree of Life will be able to survive.
The long-term attrition has put the future of the tribe in jeopardy, and it is a choice between dignity and survival, and whatever is chosen, it is so painful.
The Great Elder's heart suddenly jumped, and a strong uneasiness welled up in his chest. This is what the Tree of Life fears and warns him. But here is the depths of the forest, a place protected by the will of the forest.
