Soon, in Keellius' sharp sight, he gradually saw the new enemy clearly.

The tall figure obscured the ceiling of this underground labyrinth, and even if it was far away, it made Kylelius and the others feel a deep pressure.

And the pressure is far more than their height, or the huge advantage in size, but their appearance reveals their identity.

Although these reinforcements are like humans, or rather giants, using their lower limbs to move their bodies.

But unlike most humanoid creatures, these creatures don't use feet, but a varying number of roots.

Yes, you read that right, it was the roots, the roots of trees or other plants, which were in front of Kylelius and the others, like the tentacles of an octopus, constantly moving their huge bodies forward, and they were still very fast.

"It's a tree man!" Cheryl, who had been out of the Elven Forest for less than two years, recognized these huge strange creatures for the first time.

Although there are not many creatures like treants in the main material plane, even many ordinary humans have not seen these ancient creatures that usually do not like to be hyperactive, and usually regard them as creatures of myths and legends, rather than species that exist in reality.

"I don't know if it's lucky or unfortunate to be able to see such a rare race in such a place......" said Kyrlius, who also recognized the tall treemen covered in branches and scattered leaves as they walked around like humans.

The tone was full of mixed meanings, and I didn't know if it was bitter. Or something else.

As for why these behemoths, who usually live in the forests of the Elven Kingdom in the south, suddenly appeared in the border forests of the Northern Human Empire at this time, there is naturally only one reason.

"It looks like these tree men are being used against our Excellency Rin. After only a moment's thought, Kylelius quickly made a judgment.

After all, as a tree as the main body, although he can find a way to deal with various types of creatures, he has no way to deal with the tree people whose attributes are not much different from his own.

Even though he likes to be seen in the Great Forest, he never appears in the forests of the Elven Kingdom, because there are many treants that make him feel troublesome.

As for the reason why he dislikes the tree people so much, it naturally won't be because they look like himself......

'Use the Treants' innate ability to manipulate the trees of the forest, and the terrifying ability to devour the trees to increase their strength and even restore their damaged bodies. to deal with the forest-based Fuhailin. What a genius note!'

Kylelius admired in his heart the man who thought of this solution.

However, Cornelia and the others were not the same as Kyleus, although their eyes at this time were the same as them, staring at Kalian's side.

It's just that Kyrlius was looking at the tree people behind Karen. And Cornelia and the others looked at Karene and the others themselves.

After a moment of silence. Cornelia suddenly said word for word, "Karen." Why are you here, you are Lelouch's personal guard, why did you show up here without permission!"

There was a tone of disbelief in the shock. Expressed in her trembling voice, people instantly felt the complicated feelings in her heart.

Even now, the facts have been clearly placed in front of her, but she still doesn't want to believe this sad fact because of family affection.

The final questioning revealed that she wanted Karine and the others to appear here completely because of their personal behavior.

But the truth is always more brutal than we think.

"Of course, it's because of our master's orders that we're following here, Royal Highness the Conelia Princess!" Karene replied with a sneer.

Although she is a noble princess, Karen herself is not low, at least the status of the Duke of Hudafeldt's family is the only heir, so she is not very afraid of Cornelia.

And now in this kind of life-and-death situation, it can be said that the skin has been completely torn apart, even if the gap between the two sides is like a chasm, it is no longer important at this time.

At least kill each other, then all the qiē doesn't matter.

History is always written by the victors.

Hearing this, Cornelia did not continue to pester, but smiled gloomily.

"Your Highness......" Elizabeth cried out right behind her, and then fell silent again as she didn't know how to comfort her lord.

"It's all right, my knight. Cornelia said with a forced smile, although she was laughing, the bitterness in her eyes was unusually obvious.

"Didn't we have guessed a long time ago, everything that has happened since we entered this forest is something that my brother, who loves and hates people, is planning behind the scenes......" At this, Cornelia's smile suddenly became a little strange, as if it was a relieved smile from her own junior when he grew up.

"Yes, my Highness. Elizabeth replied softly.

It's just that there is still a world of difference between what you guess and what you personally determine mentally. ’

Although she thought so, Elizabeth did not know how to comfort her lord, as a knight, she could only hold the spear in her hand tightly, waiting for her lord's imminent order.

Conelia adjusted her mood, suddenly raised her head, and shouted in her characteristic stern and sharp voice: "Since this is the case, then there is no need to say more, let's speak with the weapon in our hands!"

"As you wish, Imperial Sister!" she replied not with Karen standing in front of them, but from a male voice coming from the other direction.

This familiar voice made Conelia, who had just regained her composure, change her expression again.

"It's really you, Lelouch!!!!" Conelia could no longer hold back the anger and surprise in her heart, and asked aloud.

"Of course it's me, dear Sister Cornelia......" Three figures suddenly appeared in the place where the voice came from in the distance, and it was Lelouch and the others who came from not far away.

The black-haired boy in a black trench coat dress was using a slightly exaggerated action at this time to make the ancient imperial royal etiquette extremely smooth with a perfect action that no court etiquette instructor could pick out the mistakes.

"Why can't I do this, do I just stipulate that everything here should be yours? What an arrogant attitude, my sister......" (to be continued......
