Otto abruptly raised his head and looked towards the source of the voice. He saw a cold-looking elf leaning against a large tree in front of him.
She wore a black skirted armor and leaned against the tree trunk. Her hands were casually crossed in front of her chest, and her purplish-red eyes were looking at the smoke in the distance.
However, even though she was standing there, Otto didn't realize that someone was waiting for him until she spoke.
No, he couldn't sense it.
Because even if Otto saw her now, he still couldn't sense her existence!
Without a doubt, she was a Professional more powerful than him!
Looking at her iconic black skirted armor and her dark silver hair, which was extremely rare even among elves, Otto's expression instantly turned serious.
"Life's Favored, Zero …"
God's Favored, Zero!
As a close neighbor of the Elven Forest, Otto had a certain understanding of this Elven leader who was rumored to have killed several Legendary existences in the past two years.
However, he always thought that she relied on the power of the Goddess. He didn't expect that after seeing her in person, he couldn't sense her strength even if she didn't borrow the power of a True God!
"Are you here to kill me?"
Otto narrowed his eyes at the Elven God's Favored in front of him.
Hearing his words, Eve, who was in the form of God's Favored, glanced at him indifferently and shook her head slightly.
"No, I'm not interested in you."
"I'm just interested in something on you."
Hearing this, Otto's expression changed slightly.
He no longer hesitated and shouted angrily as he drew the sword at his waist and stabbed at Zero.
However, before Otto could rush forward, he lost control of his body.
He lowered his head in shock. He didn't know when, but vines had broken out of the ground and wrapped around his body, completely sealing his power.
He opened his mouth and found that he had completely lost the ability to speak.
At this moment, the Elven God's Favored in front of him unhurriedly left the tree trunk she was leaning against and came in front of Otto.
Under Otto's fearful gaze, she reached out with her right hand and stabbed it into his chest.
Strangely, there was no wound and no blood spurting out.
Only an oval door of dark red light appeared in front of Otto's chest.
However, not only did Ao Tuo not feel lucky, he became even more terrified and desperate.
Immediately after, Zero withdrew her right hand, and a translucent crystal appeared in her hand.
It was like a ruby dyed with blood, shining brightly under the sun.
It was a godhood.
"Hmm? This power … is quite interesting … "
A hint of interest appeared in Zero's eyes.
After the crystal left Otto's body, the Legendary Vampire's appearance began to age rapidly. Soon, he turned from a handsome middle-aged man in his prime into an old man with a head full of silver hair and a face full of wrinkles.
Zero didn't look at Otto again. She put away the wine-red Divinity.
Then, she turned around and walked into the distance.
Looking at her departing figure, the defeated Otto couldn't help but ask,
"Why … didn't you kill me?"
Zero shook her head.
"I told you, I'm not interested in you."
"Your trial should be left to those who truly need it …"
As she spoke, she glanced behind Ao Tuo, and her figure slowly disappeared into the forest.
Ao Tuo subconsciously looked back and saw a few angry civilians walking over without him noticing.
His vision blurred, and he recalled that these people seemed to be the villagers who had successfully escaped when he ordered the siege army to be forcibly recruited …
…
The king fled, and the morale collapsed.
The Maple Kingdom's army was leaderless, and they were quickly defeated by the elves' counterattack. Some fled, some surrendered …
The nobles of Maple were also surrounded by the disorderly soldiers and fell into chaos.
The stronger nobles killed the disorderly soldiers around them in anger, but they were quickly surrounded by the players and fell into battle.
The weaker nobles were directly trampled to death by the disorderly soldiers who had lost their minds …
Soon, the nobles of the Maple Kingdom's army were either dead, injured, or fleeing.
The players who weren't satisfied with the battle continued to chase after the disorderly soldiers, while more players stopped and began to disarm and loot.
Especially the nobles, many of whom had spatial equipment and were in high demand.
The battle of Augus City had already been decided at this moment.
On the city wall, Yeye, who hadn't left the city for the battle, looked at the players flying in the sky, the huge airship hovering in the air, and the elven army moving on the ground. He let out a deep breath.
Loud cheers came from all around, drowning out everything on and below the city wall.
However, most of them weren't players but human civilians.
Yeye could even faintly hear shouts of "Long live the elves! Praise the Goddess of Life! "
Those were also the shouts of the human civilians.
They were excited, and many of them even surrounded the elves, lifting them up and throwing them into the air as if they were heroes.
There were also many civilians who had just woken up and were under the blood contract. They knelt in the direction of the temple devoutly and prayed with tears in their eyes …
Yeye and the Gale Bar opposite him looked at each other, and they saw some emotions in each other's eyes.
"Do you feel better now?"
Seeing that Yeye's expression had returned to normal, the elven warrior smiled and asked.
Yeye took a deep breath and nodded.
"Yes."
The background music turned into an elven song celebrating the victory, and everyone couldn't help but feel happy.
Yeye scanned the surroundings and looked at the civilian NPCs who were rescued by the players.
He sighed and said, "It's great that the Goddess is here."
"This is war. The wars in the real world are much crueler than this. There are no goddesses in the real world. Moreover, in history, not to mention using civilians as cannon fodder to attack cities, there have been many cases of people using civilians as shields and massacring cities."
The Gale Bar shook his head.
"But history is history. History is just numbers and words. I didn't expect to be so emotionally affected when I was in the real world …"
Yeye sighed.
"It's normal."
The Gale Bar nodded.
"'Elven Nation' is so realistic, and the impact is similar to the real world. You're young and new, and you're fighting against humans. It's normal that you're not used to it."
"When I fought against the Orcs for the first time, I almost wet my pants!"
"You'll get used to it. Let's go offline and rest. Tonight, we'll gather in the city and have a celebration!"
Then, the Elven warrior licked his lips.
"Hey! Habsburg just sent a message. When they were chasing the Maple Kingdom's army, they seized a few noble carriages and got a few bottles of good wine! "
"Wine?"
Yeye paused for a moment and couldn't help but laugh.
"Brother Gale, do you like to drink that much?"
"Haha, I can't help it. My wife in the real world is very strict and doesn't allow me to drink too much. I can only drink my fill in the game. You know … 'Elven Nation' has some good wine."
The Gale Bar laughed heartily.
But as soon as he finished laughing, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly stood up from the ground.
"Oh no, it's almost dinner time in the real world. I have to go offline and cook. Otherwise, my wife will pull out my internet cable again …"
Yeye was speechless.
Yeye couldn't help but grin as he watched the Elven warrior hurriedly put away his equipment and run to the temporary offline point.
He glanced at a certain profile picture that lit up on his friends list and the coordinates of his teammates on the minimap. Then, he stood up and walked toward the city.
Augus City didn't suffer much damage in this battle because the Divine Spell defensive barrier was activated in time.
The fire in the houses that were destroyed by the trebuchets had been extinguished. Only wisps of white smoke continued to float in the air. The smell of blood in the air had also dissipated.
There were fewer players in the city. Most of them were still cleaning up the battlefield outside the city.
However, the streets weren't empty at all. On the contrary, it was extremely lively. Celebrating citizens could be seen everywhere.
Every time they saw Yeye, they would enthusiastically crowd around him and stuff all kinds of gifts into his arms.
Bread, fruits, snacks …
Soon, the youth's arms were filled to the brim.
There were even beautiful commoner girls who boldly ran out of the crowd and kissed him on the cheek. Then, they fled as fast as they could amidst the whistling of the crowd …
Yeye was a little embarrassed, but he also didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Of course, he was very happy.
Until a playful female voice rang out.
"Yo, you're having fun. That silly smile on your face is so perverted."
Yeye froze. He looked up at the source of the voice and saw Nainai hugging a pile of gifts from the citizens. She was looking at him with narrowed eyes.
Yeye was speechless.
He coughed lightly and said, "Cough.
Force majeure. That was force majeure just now … "
But just as he finished speaking, another thought popped up in his mind.
Hm?
Why do I have to explain?
Seeing Yeye's dazed expression, the girl snorted softly and said, "Help me pack these up.
"Help me pack them up. These townsfolk are too passionate. I can't carry all the gifts."
"Erm … My backpack is full."
Yeye scratched his head and gestured helplessly at the bulging backpack behind him.
Nainai was speechless.
The two of them looked at each other and couldn't help but chuckle.
"It's time to buy a spatial equipment."
Nainai said.
"You have to be rich! Or you can apply for one from the guild if you perform meritorious deeds. "
Yeye shrugged.
Then, he looked at the girl again.
"Do you feel better?"
Nainai nodded.
"I feel much better after going offline."
After saying that, she sighed again.
"It's still better to farm the Demon God Maze. Although I'm vomiting blood, at least I don't feel so stressed … If I want to level up later, I'd better farm the Demon God Maze."
"I don't think the Demon God wants to see you again."
"Scram."
The two players bickered as they walked toward the temporary encampment in the city.
However, as they walked, they heard cheers and curses coming from the streets.
"What's the matter?"
The two of them were slightly stunned.
They stopped a civilian NPC and asked curiously.
"May I know what happened?"
The civilian who was called looked excited.
"Lord Elf! The Maple King has been caught! The people who returned have caught the Maple King! "
The Maple King has been caught?
The two players looked at each other, curiosity rising in their hearts. Then, they turned around and followed the crowd toward the direction of the cheers.
When the two of them arrived at the city's main road, they saw a carriage being escorted by a few players and civilians. An old man with white hair and luxurious clothes was tied to the carriage.
His aura was weak, and his gaze was dim. He didn't look like the majestic legendary master in the legends.
The surrounding citizens cursed and spat at the carriage. They also picked up stones and threw them at the Maple King on the carriage, making him look very pathetic.
Seeing this, the two of them looked at each other and saw a trace of doubt in each other's eyes.
"This is the Maple King, Otto?"
"Looks like … he's not that powerful."
Hearing their words, the surrounding civilians who knew the inside story quickly said.
"Lord Elf, he's the Maple King, Otto! However, it's said that he met a powerful Lord Elf and was punished, losing all his power! "
A powerful Lord Elf?
The two players looked at each other curiously.
Was there anyone in the Elf Forest who could fight against a legendary?!
Uh …
No.
There seemed to be one!
"What does that Lord Elf look like?"
Yeye asked curiously.
"I'm not sure, but I heard that she's a beautiful woman wearing a black skirt armor."
The civilian shook his head.
Hearing his words, the two players were enlightened.
"So it's Big Sister. I didn't expect Big Sister to take action too."
Nainai said.
She looked at the parade that was getting farther and farther away and couldn't help but ask.
"Where are they taking him?"
"It's said that they're going to parade him around the city, then bring him to Zeloran and hand him over to Lady Sophia."
The civilian answered respectfully.
Hearing this, the two of them nodded lightly.
If there were no accidents, Sophia would probably become the new Lord of the Maple Leaf Territory. Handing Otto over to her to deal with was also the most appropriate thing to do.
Just as the two of them looked at the parade that was getting farther away, another commotion came from the other side of the street.
It was a new carriage, and there were nobles tied up with anti-magic chains. Among them, a tall and skinny young man was shouting.
"Let me go! Let me go! I'm Viscount Zeloran, Sophia's brother! I want to see Sophia! I want to see Sophia! "
Looking at the terrified young man with snot and tears all over his face, the two of them had strange expressions.
"They're siblings?"
"The difference is too big …"
The carriage carrying the tall and thin young man, under the disdain of the citizens, followed the carriage that was escorting the Maple King, Otto, into the distance …
