The liberation of World Tree Vera can be said to be without any suspense.
World Trees such as Vera, Chloe, and Lahti, which are suppressed by the Elf Kingdom, cannot protect too many elves, and there are only about five hundred people in the sky. To be like the two ancient ones, protecting a large tribe with tens of thousands of elves, it takes who knows how many years of growth.
Even if there are unblessed elves who can become members of the Divine Wood Guards, it is destined that the number of these people will not be too many. That is to say, if the Donbas Kingdom's Shenmu Guards guarding Vera could number close to a thousand people, it would be very impressive.
But in fact, there are not so many elves staying in the domain of World Tree Vera. The total number of people killed and captured is only 377 elves. And the coalition army used 5,000 men to attack more than 300 people who had lost their position. It was exactly what the ancient Fasnas said. If the victory was too ugly, the entire army would be buried under the roots of Vera. It's good as fertilizer.
In the end, the wood elf coalition resolved the battle in one morning, with no one on their side injured or killed. It was considered a beautiful victory.
Although the handling after the war is a bit confusing, when you think about it seriously, it makes sense. The Kingdom of Donbass once again became the guardian of the World Tree Vera and joined the coalition. The elves of the original Shenmu Guards who were still alive were expelled from the Donbas Kingdom; those who died died, and no one was resurrected, even if it could be done.
However, the Kingdom of Donbass, which joined the coalition, has a much lower profile than the Kingdom of Melan. Perhaps it was due to the fact that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very curious about everything, that he was able to let go of his arrogance and humbly ask others for advice due to his strong thirst for knowledge.
This made the wood elves who came into contact with him lament that the other party was not like the stupid teenager in the rumors. He did not hesitate to answer his questions, even if those things were as commonplace to elves who did not live in the royal family as air and water.
But the bigger gain should come from the remaining two elf kingdoms that control the World Tree, and they finally responded with formal credentials. One side sent a gryphon beast knight, and the other side sent an osprey knight to send a letter of credence in reply. Delivering letters to these two flying monsters is almost the same as the eight-hundred-mile express service in ancient times back home; in modern times on earth, that is also the concept of limited-time registration.
One of the elven kingdoms expressed a fully cooperative attitude, and even came with a map of the location of the World Tree they had. The coalition forces can send people there at any time. No matter what they want to do, the local Shenmu Guards and the kingdom to which they belong will cooperate.
The only request is that the alliance leaders of the coalition can mediate, hoping to continue the cooperative and symbiotic relationship with the awakened World Tree. After all, for an elf kingdom, losing the supply of materials from the World Tree is equivalent to cutting off the source of all healing elixirs in the country.
Not to mention the ones that prolong life and preserve youth. The reason why the Elf Kingdom can still survive strongly under the protection of the human kingdom is that the healing elixir made from the materials of the World Tree is a very important key. These medicines maintained the combat effectiveness of the elven army and effectively reduced the elven casualties in the war.
Liberating Yggdrasil may cause a reduction in production, but it is better than cutting off supply. As for the rebel coalition, they continue to occupy and suppress the World Tree under their control... A volley of the Elf Emperor's bows, as many as a thousand-man brigade, is enough to break any Elf's delusions. How proud we are of the history of the elves, how much we admire the heroes who were once active in the history of the elves, how shocking the fact that a thousand bows fired in volley.
And this shock, of course, also extended to places outside the Elf Kingdom, so I won’t mention it here.
What really puzzles and interests someone is the second letter of credence. The Elf Kingdom of Belzins from the north, the content is...asking for help.
According to the description in the certificate of credence, in fact, a long time ago, the World Tree controlled by the Berzins Kingdom had been captured by an unknown enemy. The guards stationed at Shenmu are all gone, and they still can't recapture it.
In the dimensional gap, on the opposite side of someone's subdimensional tower, which is the high-seat meeting space of the Turtle Dove Alliance, Andre Priel, the elf king of the Kingdom of Amelan, was invited here for the first time. The reason was, of course, the letters of credence he received from the other two elf kingdoms.
Also present were His Majesty King Zhidan III of the Kingdom of Payat Jaime and His Royal Highness Crown Prince Heike Macki of the Kingdom of Donbass.
As a member of the alliance's high seat, Lin was of course sitting steadily on the long-backed chair behind the circular table, receiving envious looks from the elves. He himself was completely unaware and carefully read this official letter of credence from the Kingdom of Berzins.
Although other high seats have animal images, they don't need eyes to see, so naturally they don't have to pretend to hold letters in front of them and 'watch' them. Although Lin was the only one reading the letter, the high officials could still know its contents.
Elvish is a relatively difficult language in the Lost Lands, and some even think it is more difficult than Draconic. This is because Draconic is only language, but Elvish includes words. In other words, to learn Dragon Language, as long as you can listen and speak, you will be considered qualified; to learn Elf Language, in addition to being able to listen and speak, you must also be able to read and write. In terms of requirements, it is indeed more than Dragon Language.
Relying on the various programmed functions of the subdimensional tower, translating Elvish language is not a problem. The most difficult part for someone is to understand the different styles of writing of the elves. Elves from different regions will show the styles of their respective birthplaces, and the handwriting of different elves will naturally be different.
At this time, Lin had to admire Qin Shihuang. Writing the same text is truly a feat that will last forever.
In short, this letter of credentials from Berzins was read and read by someone for a long time. Just when the other elves or the World Tree thought that the human was seeing flowers inside, Lin asked: "As a result, our king of Belzins has no idea who the enemy who captured the World Tree is, or who he is." What. So is the World Tree still there? How has it changed? Did they send people to recover it after that? Or did they give up on treatment until today when they got the chance, so they asked us directly for help? "
After a series of questions, the ancient Yggdrasil slightly shook the eight wonderful fruits on the dead branch, and at the same time made a voice: "I can only answer the first question. I am sure that Gaius is still alive. But what is the situation? How, but there is no way of knowing. As long as He closes His heart, we cannot get in touch with Him."
Someone answered the first question, and Lin couldn't help but turn his attention to King Andre Purier, who brought the two letters of credence. The old elf king regretted that he could not bring the messenger here. He was not clear about many things, but he still replied: "As far as I know, the messenger who sent the credentials said that the Kingdom of Berzins sent several crusaders. team, but no one can come back. Their ending, including the ending of the Shenmu Guards who were originally responsible for guarding the World Tree, no one knows. Because the losses were too heavy, they never made these things public. Until the coalition forces began to liberate the World Tree , and showed enough strength. They could neither resist nor hand over what no longer belonged to them, so they had this letter asking for help. If you want to know more details, I can't tell you. I have told you all that I know."
This statement makes sense. But it's just too reasonable, so it makes someone intuitively feel that this is a trap. Even if it wasn't a deliberate design by the other party to trick people, a matter that couldn't be solved by the Elf Kingdom was just thrown onto a group of people like him. It felt like ten thousand grass-mud horses roaring across the grassland.
Tapping his fingers on the table, Lin thought about the various possibilities behind this matter. It's just that there are too few clues, and it's impossible to come up with a conclusion no matter how much you think about it. He scratched his messy hair as he became more and more irritated, and then he caught a glimpse of the road map about the world tree Gaius that came with the Belzinshi Kingdom's credentials. He simply stood up and said, "I'll go check out the situation first." As he said that, he disappeared in a flash.
Several kings and the Crown Prince were a little uncomfortable with the magician's resolute actions. After all, not everyone dares to leave right away in front of them. But none of the big guys present who really had the weight to speak had any objections to the magician's actions. What kind of treatment would he receive in exchange for speaking out? None of the three noble elves thought of giving it a try.
Ridan III had some friendship with Lin, so he didn't care about it. Andre Purier still remembered the tragic situation of his own Shenmu Guards, so he didn't dare to care about it. Although Heike Markey was the crown prince, the two previous kings had not spoken, so it was his turn to speak. Therefore, he wanted to argue but had no place to argue.
Just when the three elves were wondering or secretly complaining, the disappeared man appeared again, with a dusty appearance. The huge and weird head he held in his left hand was placed directly on the ring table. At the same time, he put the weird and strange short dagger in his right hand back into the scabbard under the cloak on his left shoulder.
All the elves and World Trees present raised their necks to look at the head that was brought back. The more they looked at it, the more they felt that it looked like something.
Lin brushed his messy hair and said directly: "Gaius's territory is now controlled by the devil. He doesn't seem to be sleeping or sealed, but he hasn't come out to see him either. Me. After I identified the devil, I was ready to leave, but this devil caught up with me based on his talent. I wanted to say that I came back empty-handed, and I couldn't win anyone's trust with empty words, so I cut off his head and brought it back as evidence. Don’t you think that I just found a random demon and cut off its head, and it turned out that what I told was a lie.”
"Devil." Creatures other than humans and elves suddenly appeared. All the beings in the high-level meeting pondered and pondered the possible reasons behind this. Fasnas asked more directly: "So this time, Gaius is controlled by the devil. Or are these demons simply caused by him?"
Lin was shocked when he heard this and asked: "Will the World Tree also attract demons?"
"Otherwise, how do you think the lost land is connected to the abyss." The ancient Fasnas replied.
