As soon as he logged into the game, he followed his usual routine and tested his current condition. Sure enough, after using a Healing Potion, nothing changed. His HP continued to drop. After trying out several versions of the game, it seemed that the upgraded versions couldn't fix the bug in his character.
Of course, he logged into the game at the entrance of the Duke's Mansion. After testing the game, Li Huailin hurriedly entered the Duke's Mansion.
"Your Majesty." This time, Geert didn't appear at the Duke's Mansion's entrance. After all, Li Huailin had suddenly logged into the game. It was another NPC who asked Li Huailin a question mark. Of course, Li Huailin didn't know who it was.
"Where's Geert?" Li Huailin asked.
"Sir Geert is currently in a meeting, Your Majesty," the NPC replied.
"Oh, got it." Li Huailin knew where the meeting room was, so he entered without hesitation.
After arriving on the second floor of the Duke's Mansion, Li Huailin walked to the meeting room's entrance. Before the door even opened, Li Huailin could already hear Geert's loud voice.
"Just what is wrong with you people? Can't you do something as simple as this? You know that His Majesty only gave us two days, and now you're telling me that you can't deliver it? Erzema, I'm telling you, if you don't deliver it by the end of the day, I'll hang you on the execution ground tomorrow! "
Geert's voice was filled with anger. Shi Feng didn't know what this Erzema had done. Of course, Li Huailin didn't care. He pushed open the door and entered. Of course, the guards at the entrance didn't stop Li Huailin.
"Hm? Your Majesty! "
"Your Majesty!"
While the meeting was still ongoing, the door suddenly opened. Of course, everyone inside was stunned. However, when they saw that it was Li Huailin, they immediately stood up and saluted Li Huailin.
"Your Majesty …" Geert, who was presiding over the meeting on the podium, hurriedly ran to Li Huailin's side and prostrated himself. "Your Majesty, this servant … has sinned."
"This servant has sinned!" Seeing Geert kowtow, a large group of officials below also immediately kowtowed to Li Huailin.
"Oh? What's going on? "Li Huailin immediately asked as he knew what was going on.
Geert looked at Li Huailin's expression and said carefully, "I've let His Majesty down … There's a problem with the mission that His Majesty assigned …"
"Mission? What mission? Are you talking about the quest to eliminate the Druids? "Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Geert nodded.
"Really? That's great." Li Huailin's reaction made everyone a little confused. He actually looked very happy. This was really confusing. What was there to be happy about when there was a problem with the mission? This reminded them of the commoners who were overjoyed when their taxes were increased. Of course, they couldn't figure out what was going on. This … could it be that Li Huailin had suddenly become like this?
"Your … Your Majesty, are you alright?" Geert asked.
"I'm fine. Is it because time is too tight? It's a little troublesome to prepare." Li Huailin also thought about the conversation he had heard at the entrance. Although he didn't know what it meant, it sounded like time was too tight and they couldn't keep up with the delivery.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Geert didn't expect Li Huailin to be so "understanding". He immediately said, "Indeed, time is too tight, and we have too little preparation. That's why …"
"It's fine, it's fine." Li Huailin immediately waved his hand and said, "If that's the case, then let's not fight for now."
"Not fight for now?" Geert was completely stunned.
"Yes, yes. Think about it carefully. War is something that should be planned properly." Li Huailin continued, "So let's put this matter aside for now. We'll discuss it after I think of a solution."
"This …" Geert hesitated for a moment. "But Your Majesty, those Druids may not agree to our request for a truce …"
"Huh?" Li Huailin was stunned for a moment. "Wait … You mean … We have already declared war on the Druids?"
"Your Majesty, don't you know the current situation? Not only have we declared war on the Druids, but we have already fought a battle. We … suffered a little … "Geert said softly. Yes, he thought that Li Huailin already knew about this news. After all, the entire continent knew about it. He didn't expect Li Huailin to not hear about it.
“WHAT？ We have already fought a battle with the Druids? Or we lost? "Li Huailin was stunned.
"Yes … Yes …" Geert nodded and quickly explained the current situation to Li Huailin. Yes, after Li Huailin assigned the task yesterday, Geert immediately began to execute it. One had to know that Li Huailin had only given him two days. How could Geert not be anxious in just two days?
Thus, Geert immediately called for an emergency mobilization meeting. Of course, all the ministers had to attend this meeting. After explaining the current situation, all the ministers immediately began to discuss what to do. First of all, there was no problem with Li Huailin's money and rations. It was enough to support any battle, so there was no need to consider this. The problem was how to quickly resolve the battle.
Thus, Military Minister Legg proposed a plan because it was too slow to borrow soldiers from other places. The Elven Race was the closest to Moonlight Valley, but the Elven soldiers were still in the Orc Race's territory and had yet to return. It was impossible for the human soldiers to rush over within two days. Thus, Legg said that the situation in the East Continent was stable. They only needed to leave a few thousand people behind to maintain law and order. The remaining troops could participate in this battle.
The battle plan was to retreat from East Asia and take the Octopus people's transmission array to the main city of the Elven Race. Then, they would head to Moonlight Valley overnight to launch a surprise attack. To be on the safe side, Geert also invited two Saint-leveled experts from East Asia to help. Yes, because the mission that Li Huailin had given them was too urgent and had to be completed within two days, Geert could only find two Saint-leveled experts.
It was important to know that Saint-leveled experts did not always stay in the Saint-leveled Alliance. Some Saint-leveled experts might not return even once in a few years. Previously, Li Huailin had only met so many people during the Saint-leveled Trial Conference. Now, there was no order to gather, and there were not many people in the Saint-leveled Alliance. Geert could only find two people. Of course, he could use Li Huailin's order to gather everyone. These Saint-leveled experts would definitely not dare to not come, but it would take time to find someone to inform them. According to Legg's battle plan, they would not be able to make it in time.
However, Geert thought about it. Saint-leveled experts were indeed great killing machines, but it was not convenient to use them. This was different from the last time. This time, Li Huailin's order was to not leave a single Druid alive. This was an order to massacre them, unlike the last time, where they could just leave and be done with it. Geert felt that it was not appropriate to let Saint-leveled experts do this. What he meant was that in reality, sending troops to attack a city and directly blowing up a city with an atomic bomb might have similar results, but the meaning was still different. Thus, Geert found two Saint-leveled experts to guard the army and prevent any accidents. The main battle force was still the army. This way, Geert felt that two Saint-leveled experts were not the same.
Thus, on the night that Li Huailin went offline due to System maintenance, Li Huailin's Continental Alliance army was mobilized. The army had a total of 25,000 people, and they advanced from the main city of the Elves to Moonlight Valley under the cover of night. According to Geert's current information, the total number of Druids in Moonlight Valley did not exceed 2,500, which meant that the ratio was 10: 1. The one leading the army was still Legg.
Although they had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers, Legg had followed Li Huailin before, so he did not intend to be careless. His plan was very thorough. In the face of such a military advantage, Legg still chose to launch a surprise attack in the middle of the night. Although it was a bit of a copy of Li Huailin's plan, it was still learning and applying it on the spot.
To be honest, Li Huailin felt that Legg's plan was quite reliable. After all, the Druids did not know that Li Huailin had his eyes on them. Of course, they did not know about Li Huailin's orders either. Legg had directly taken the teleportation formation to come over. It was very sudden, and he had taken advantage of the night to launch a surprise attack. Coupled with the military advantage, Li Huailin felt that he would do the same.
But the problem was that none of them had considered one thing, and that was … the Druid faith. Yes, all the people of the Continental Alliance, including Li Huailin, did not know much about the Druids. They believed in the Moon Goddess, and it was said that the Druids' power came from the Moon Goddess' blessings. They practiced Druid magic at night, and the Druids' abilities were also greatly enhanced at night. Legg chose to attack at this time.
The battle was very funny. Legg was discovered by the Druids before he even reached Moonlight Valley. Of course, Moonlight Valley forbade anyone other than the Druids from entering. Seeing such a large army coming over, the Druids would definitely be vigilant.
Then, what awaited Legg and the others were treants all over the mountains and plains. Yes, although there were only 2,500 Druids, the other party had far more units that could fight. With a wave of their hands, the entire forest turned into treants, and then they suddenly attacked Legg's troops, who were still marching in the forest.
Originally, he wanted to launch a surprise attack on the other party, but he was caught off guard by the opponent. Legg's troops were in chaos before he even saw the shadow of the Druids. Fortunately, Li Huailin's troops were elite troops after all, so it wasn't a camp explosion. In addition, there were two Saint-level witnesses, so the side that retreated successfully escaped. However, the other party had almost zero losses, while there were injuries and deaths on this side. In the first round, the Continental Alliance army lost inexplicably.
