Chapter 538: Tree Man and Fu Hailin
"This is not a trial, but a one-way ticket directly to hell, and I don't see any possibility of gaining exercise and experience other than to die. Lelouch glared at C.C., who had nothing to do with himself, and said sharply with great dissatisfaction.
After saying that, C.C., who was smiling heartlessly on the side, once again commanded Fujido with the personal guards with only more than 200 people left, and kept retreating under the cover of officers such as Karen and Suzaku.
However, even if all of these soldiers survived, it would be an extremely heart-wrenching event for Lelouch.
You must know that the total number of guards who followed Lelouch this time was 2,000 people, and counting the soldiers who were lost before entering this labyrinth, Leluxiu's pro-guards were ninety percent less.
'This is a reserve officer that I have spent five years carefully cultivating, and it is in such a barren land on the border that so many unnecessary losses have been incurred, if it were not for this operation to ...... the throne,' thought to himself.
Then he silently comforted himself: "But fortunately, after this period of fighting, these lucky fellows have been reborn, and if nothing else, then these fellows will be able to achieve much higher achievements than before." ’
But now is not the time to think about this, after all, even if these pro-guards survive this adventure, and even become generals or even marshals of the empire in the near future, it is a long time later, and it is not something that needs to be considered now.
"Your Excellency, it should be you great treants now. The time has come to fulfill what you have promised. After putting his last remaining reserve officer in order, Lelouch turned to the huge tree man standing not far from him.
It was a giant treant taller than all the treants around it, and even the abundance of magic and natural elements could not hide its withered and wilted skin, showing everyone how long the treant had been and how long he had lived.
"Of course, Your Highness Lelouch, the promise of the Great Treant will be kept, do you doubt that the Great Treant will be like a filthy goblin? Do that kind of dishonorable thing?"
The old man's voice came out of the Treant Elder's mouth. Even if it sounded a little old, it still made Lelouch's ears feel a roar.
Even the softest sound of the tree people is still like thunder and lightning ringing in the ears of a human like Lelouch. Makes the delicate eardrum unable to adapt.
Lelouch shook his head. At the same time, a recovery magic was cast. After removing most of the discomfort in his ears, he spoke: "Originally, your mission was to destroy the ...... of the Immortal Sea Forest that appeared in the form of a giant tree."
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a suddenly emotional Elder Treant.
"Rest assured. We will do our best to destroy this pest that threatens the forest, and kill the sworn enemy of this forest here!" Although it looked like an old bark full of wrinkles, it showed very obvious anger and disgust at this time.
In fact, this is also a matter of course, the people of the tree have a long history of resentment towards Fu Hailin, and Lu Luxiu, a royal family who has read a lot of books and has already investigated the relevant information in advance, this information is naturally easy to grasp.
Although the Fuhailin is a huge creature made up of a forest, and its core is also a huge ancient tree, and even the vessel he stores mysteries is the fruit of the giant tree, all of which makes him look like a creature close to the forest.
However, the fact is the opposite, and the existence of forests and giant trees is the main culprit of forest destruction.
Although the Bloodthirsty Forest is full of aggression, it can well protect the forest from the invasion of outside forces, and reduce the deliberate destruction of the forest by various races.
It seems that the orcs, who have a great demand for trees and have excellent cutting ability, are the most important race among them.
Even if it's just a small tribe of only a few hundred orcs, the amount of wood they need to consume is quite staggering.
For the orcs, whether it is the construction of various buildings or the need to make fires and food, a lot of wood is used.
Three meals a day and all kinds of buildings are obviously not enough for a few small trees and branches and leaves.
This is also the reason why the orcs live in a place that is usually desert Gobi, not that they like to live there, or that they happen to live there. But in order to survive, they can only keep cutting down trees, so the place where they live gradually becomes the desert Gobi and the treeless grassland.
For the treants, as well as the elves who love the forest, the orcs are eternal mortal enemies, even in the face of the demon army that invaded from hell, when all the main plane races formed an alliance, the elves and orcs were mortal enemies who never appeared together.
However, even if the Wood Grove was able to help the forest resist the destruction of the sworn enemy, it would not stop the Treants from hating the ancestor of the dead apostles.
Not because of anything else, precisely because of the immense aggressiveness he possesses.
Fu Hailin's aggressiveness stems from his vampire instinct, which is what vampires often call the 'bloodsucking impulse', and even the higher level of Dead Apostles, they have to be tortured by this curse-like thing every moment as a vampire.
And when there is no external invasion, in order to suppress this blood-sucking impulse, Fu Hailin can only start from the inside, that is, from the forest.
Naturally, the Viskelin is governed by the bloodsucking impulse, and there is no distinction between what creatures can be hunted and what needs to be left to protect the ecological balance.
The final result is also obvious, that is, there are fewer and fewer creatures in the forest, and the ecological chain that maintains the 'life' of the entire forest is becoming more and more broken, until there are no more living creatures in the forest, which means that the forest has ushered in the last life - death.
Therefore, as long as it is the forest that has appeared in the Fuhai Forest, it will usher in the final end.
And this is naturally extremely disgusting for the tree people who love the forest more than other creatures, and even their own lives, for the existence of the Fuhai Forest.
"Then I'll wait for your good news, Elder. Lelouch nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, Your Royal Highness, although Lao Yu and others are not believers in contract knights, they will still keep their most basic promises. Elder Treant said proudly. (To be continued......)
