The military system of the Elf Kingdom of Pyat Jaime, when hearing or seeing the warning arrows of the sentry, immediately put on full armor and assembled in the shortest possible time. Even if it turns out to be a prank by the sentry, the sentry will be punished at that time; but those who fail to dress and assemble after seeing the warning will be considered as fleeing in front of the enemy, and the only option is death.
But this time, the elves who followed their young king actually had military status. The difference was only between standing troops and reserve troops. Therefore, including King Ridan III himself and several ministers of the kingdom, after hearing the warning sound, no one asked why. They all put on their armor first and picked up their weapons.
But when they were assembled, all the elves were at a loss. To warn enemies within the confines of the World Tree? What kind of idiot would give trouble to an elf in a place like this?
Echoing the phalanx of this group of elven guards, are the elves of the Divine Wood Guards. The order to warn and assemble was also effective for the Shenmu Guards, but they did not integrate into the large phalanx of the Elf Guards. Instead, they assembled independently to form another military formation that was distinct from the main army formation.
At this time, they were also baffled by this assembly order. There have been many invasions of the Elf Kingdom, but no one has been stupid enough to invade the scope of the World Tree, nor is it the tree-destroying war a thousand years ago.
All the elves looked at each other, wondering whether they should disband. In this situation, there was still a slight incongruity, that was the four silver-bearded dwarves who were also rushed to the assembly point. Everyone still looked confused about the situation, but they still gathered around Riley, who was wearing peaceful weapons.
At this time, the Elf Sword Dancer and the four human magicians arrived belatedly. She did not enter the square formation of the Royal Army, but walked to the middle of the two sides. Looking at this appearance, many people guessed that the warning arrow might have been sent by Liena Titov. As a scout, she already has such authority and equipment. But the question is, why?
"Little girl!" In the front row of the Shenmu Guards, the oldest of the three Druid elders said: "You must understand the seriousness of lying about military information."
"You don't need to remind me, elder, I know it very well."
"Then let me ask you, where does the enemy's love come from?"
"Just because there are no external enemies, it doesn't mean there are no internal enemies." Liena smiled coldly and threw out a magic stone. As the magic stone clattered to the ground, a huge water mirror screen unfolded, with only a static picture displayed on it. Those were the two Elf Druid elders sitting around the blood pool, while a grayscale picture of a kitten floated in the air. There are both pros and cons, so that all the elves present can see clearly.
Lienala asked in a loud voice: "Excuse me, Elder Taukach, Elder Latz, what is your intention of placing the incarnation of His Majesty Lahti in the magic circle of the God Slaughter?"
Holy shit, this chick is just flipping tables. Someone behind me thought so. In fact, as early as when she shot a whistling arrow, Lin felt that something was not good. This kind of thing should not be done secretly. If it gets bigger, it is because we are afraid that the matter is not serious enough or chaotic enough.
"We are doing it for His Majesty Lahti's good. We will eliminate for him the parts that do not need to exist as the guardian of the kingdom and the world tree. Your Majesty, he will not do any harm, and everything will be as it was in the past, like a guardian, silently , and selflessly protect all the king’s subjects.”
"Humph, is it under your control?"
"What's wrong with being under our control? Or do we have to let the likes and dislikes of World Tree decide who of us deserves help and who doesn't. And the expelled elves can only face this cruel world alone. No! It absolutely shouldn’t be like this, He is just a tree!”
The Druid elder's excited remarks may not have been made very clear, but they raised a question from someone. There is also a world tree, but the population of the wood elf tribe is not at the same level as the population of a kingdom. When you think about the reasons behind it, it may make people feel chilling.
The secrets among the elves may not be unfamiliar to Liena, so she stopped arguing with the other party about the right and wrong of this point, and said: "Well, I have another question. There are two hundred Shenmu Guards in total. Thirteen people, are you all here? Even the three elders responded to the call, where are the people who didn’t come?──"
Liena didn't wait for the few eloquent elders to argue with her, but threw out another magic stone, and directly killed it. It was no different from hell. A bunch of elves were wrapped up and hung like cloakworms to bleed. The real scene is presented to everyone,
"──Or should I ask, are they still alive?"
"This..." The Elf Druid Elder was speechless for a moment and could only change his focus and asked: "Where did you get these images?"
"Ask me how I got it, instead of asking me whether it is true or false. It seems that the news is indeed correct. But I suggest you not to think about where my news came from; first explain the life and death of these elves clearly." Li Ena pointed at the group of elves who didn’t know whether they were alive or dead in the image and said.
As if he was angry, speaking on behalf of everyone in the Shenmu Guards, Elder Kaiden, the oldest, cursed: "This is all the fault of that little girl Valeria! If she hadn't accidentally awakened the consciousness of World Tree, His Majesty Lahti He will still be sleeping peacefully. During this process, we can naturally use a relatively peaceful method to collect enough materials to allow His Majesty Lahti to continue sleeping. Instead of having to use this crude method like now, Only by sacrificing our compatriots can we achieve our goals!”
Hearing his favorite little sister being named, Ridan III couldn't help but feel a little angry. Especially when you listen to the meaning behind those words, it seems that all the fault lies with your little sister who is still ignorant about everything. It's just that the other party's status is too high. If there is no good reason, even as a king, he can only be scolded in front of the three Druid elders.
Similarly, the furious Elder Elf Druid actually suppressed all the elves present with his momentum. For a moment, no one could think about the right or wrong of it. They just habitually succumbed to authority and nodded submissively.
"You are responsible for all this, human magician!" As reprimanding his juniors was not enough, Elder Kaiden scolded several humans who looked like it had nothing to do with him: "Let World Tree advance, this kind of What's the use of doing meaningless things? Who do you think you are, hooking up with the barbaric elves of the wood elves, and you become an ally of the World Tree. What does it have to do with you whether they advance or not? Why do you interfere in the internal affairs of my kingdom? With the demon king beside you who destroyed my country once? Have you ever thought about where you are now!"
"Whether Lahti is promoted or not, or even whether he survives, of course has nothing to do with me." Someone's bright conclusion shocked not only his two apprentices, but also Liena, Ridan III, and that The group of elven guards who followed the young king were all shocked.
Seeing the surprised look of most people, Lin was a little proud, but he had to continue to explain: "I was invited here in the first place. But whether I do something or not, it doesn't make any difference to me. If I don't do it, everything will continue as usual. , I continue my journey; to do it, I can also get the parts I need from the research process. I am indeed not a friend of the World Tree. Except for the friend Wadwo, I have no interest in anyone. There is no responsibility or obligation for any World Tree. What attitude you plan to use to treat your World Tree is your freedom, national policy, idea, everything is fine. The same thing is that it is not my responsibility to interfere. of."
"Now that you understand this, you shouldn't care about these things, or even set foot here. But you help this group of elves who know nothing to create these slanderous images. What do you have if you do these things? Easy to say."
Being questioned so unreasonably by an old man is a bit unpleasant no matter how soft-tempered someone is. Lin replied sternly: "I will investigate these things because you have things to hide, and those may have something to do with me. In order to confirm this, I tried to investigate. All this is to find out. , you, and them──" pointing in the direction of Ridan III, "──what is the position? Because I understand very well that a group of people who claim to be chess players are not willing to sacrifice a few chess pieces that have nothing to do with them. , absolutely without hesitation. I don’t want to be simply sacrificed or given up. So I can only take this step to find out the evidence of what you are doing. If nothing can be done, I will leave... open."
There are broken sentences because the person who was stabbed in the back triggered the self-protection mechanism of the flash spell in order to dodge the backstab of the person who performed the backstab, allowing him to be behind the backstab in an instant.
Lin Leng looked at the back of the elf assassin who missed a single hit, and Vasily Petrovich prepared to jump into the shadow world again. Before that, the hammer of the Smith & Wesson M29 extended revolver in someone's hand struck hard on the tail end of the special magic stone ammunition.
The protective gear made of World Tree is completely immune to pure energy attacks. Among the seven magic guns made by Dan Lin, the big hammer in his hand is the only one that can shoot live ammunition, and its power is astonishing.
As the magic stone bullets in the magazine were fired with an explosion that the elves could not imagine, the mass of the live ammunition at close range directly penetrated the World Tree plate armor and entered the elves' bodies. At this time, the power and magic in the magic stone bullet produced a disorderly interaction, then lost balance and exploded violently.
In the eyes of others, he was an elf preparing to jump into the shadow world. A violent explosion occurred in his chest and abdomen, directly blowing him into two pieces. Moreover, the upper half of the body fell into the shadow world, and then suddenly appeared not far from the direction in which he was going; but the elf's lower body remained in place forever. Just like that, a transcendent person, a strong one among assassins, not only missed, but also died under a strange weapon.
"I have no position, and I can leave at any time. But if you have regarded me as an enemy and put your life as a bet, are you ready for enlightenment?"
