According to the military system of the Piat Haime Elven Kingdom, when they heard or saw the warning arrow of the sentries, they would immediately change into full armor and assemble in the shortest time possible. Even if it was later proven that the sentries were playing a prank, the sentries would be punished. However, those who did not assemble after hearing the warning would be considered fleeing from the enemy and would be sentenced to death.
And this time, the elves who came with their young king were actually all military personnel. The only difference was that they were standing soldiers and reserve soldiers. That was why, including King Ridan the Third himself and several ministers of the kingdom, when everyone heard the warning, no one asked why. They all put on their armor and took up their weapons before anything else.
However, when they were done assembling, all the elves were confused. An enemy warning in the range of the World Tree? What kind of idiot would find trouble with the elves in such a place?
And the elves of the Divine Tree Guards were responding to this group of elven guards in the square formation. The warning to assemble was also effective for the Divine Tree Guards, but they did not integrate into the large square formation of the elven guards. Instead, they assembled independently, forming a distinct military formation with the main army formation.
At this time, they were also confused by the order to assemble. There were many invasions of the elven kingdom, but no one was stupid enough to invade the range of the World Tree. It was not like the tree-destroying war a thousand years ago.
All the elves looked at each other, not knowing if they should disband. In such a situation, there was still a trace of disharmony. It was the four silver-bearded dwarves who had also been driven to the assembly point. Everyone was still confused about the situation, but they still gathered around Riley, who was wearing a peaceful outfit.
At this time, the elven sword dancer and the four human mages finally arrived. She did not enter the square formation of the royal army, but walked to the middle of the two sides. Looking at this, many people guessed that the warning arrow might have been fired by Riena Titov. As a scout, she had the authority and equipment to do so. But the question was, why?
"Little girl!" In the front row of the Divine Tree Guards, the oldest of the three druid elders said, "You should understand the seriousness of false military information."
"No need for the elder to remind me, I know very well."
"Then let me ask you, where did the enemy information come from?"
"Just because there are no external enemies doesn't mean there aren't any spies." Li Ena smiled coldly and tossed a magic stone over. As the Magic Stones fell to the ground, a huge Magic Mirror Screen was unfolded. There was only a static image on it. Two elven druid elders were sitting around the blood pool, and a gray-scale picture of a kitten was floating in the air. There were pros and cons, and all the elves present could see it clearly.
Li Aina raised her voice and asked, "Elder Tao Kaqi, Elder Raz, why did you place Her Majesty Lahti's incarnation in the god-slaying magic array?"
Damn, this chick just flipped the table. That was what a certain someone behind him thought. In fact, Lin had already felt that something was wrong when she shot the Whistling Arrow. Shouldn't this kind of thing be done secretly? If they made it big, they were afraid that things wouldn't be serious enough and chaotic enough.
"We are doing this for the good of Her Majesty Lahti. For her, as the guardian of the kingdom and the World Tree, she doesn't need to exist. Her Majesty won't be harmed. Everything will be the same as in the past. Like a guardian, she will silently and selflessly guard all the king's subjects. "
"Humph, under your control?"
"What's wrong with being under our control? Or do we have to let the World Tree decide who deserves help and who doesn't? And the elves who are expelled can only face this cruel world alone. No! It shouldn't be like this, she's just a tree! "
The druid elder's agitated remarks may not have been very clear, but it aroused a certain someone's question. Both had a World Tree, but the population of a wood elf tribe and the population of a kingdom weren't on the same level at all. After thinking about the reason behind it, there might be something that made people shudder.
Perhaps Li Ena was no stranger to the secrets of the elves, so she no longer continued to argue with the other party about whether this was right or wrong. She said, "Well, I have another question. The Divine Wood Guards have a total of 213 people. Are you all here? Even the three elders had responded to the summons, so where were the people who didn't come? … "
Li Aina did not wait for the few eloquent elders to argue with her. Instead, she tossed out another magic stone, and directly presented the scene that was no different from hell. A bunch of elves were wrapped up and hung up like raincoat worms to bleed out the elves.
"… Or should I ask, are they still alive?"
"This …" The elven druid elder was at a loss for words for a moment. He could only change the topic and ask: "Where did you get these images?"
"Asking me where I got them instead of asking me if it's true or false, it seems that this information is indeed correct. But I suggest that you don't think about where I got the information; first, explain the life and death of these elves. "Li Ena pointed to the group of elves in the image and said.
As if angry from embarrassment, the oldest elder, Kayden, spoke on behalf of the Divine Wood Guards: "It's all that little girl Valeria's fault! If she hadn't accidentally awakened the consciousness of the World Tree, Her Majesty Lahti would still be sleeping peacefully. During this time, we could naturally use a more peaceful method to collect enough materials to let Her Majesty Lahti continue to sleep. Instead of now, we have to use such crude means and sacrifice our compatriots to achieve our goal! "
Hearing his most beloved little sister being called out, Ridan the Third couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Especially when he heard the meaning behind those words, it seemed as if all the fault was placed on his little sister, who was still ignorant about everything. It's just that the other party's status is too high. If there is no good reason, then even if he is the king, he can only be reprimanded in front of the three druid elders.
At the same time, the elven druid head elder who was in a fit of rage actually suppressed all the elves present in terms of aura. For a time, everyone couldn't think about what was right or wrong. They just habitually bowed to authority and nodded submissively.
"You did all of this, didn't you, human Magician?" As if reprimanding his juniors wasn't enough, Elder Kayden scolded the few humans who acted as if it had nothing to do with them: "What's the use of doing such a meaningless thing to let the World Tree advance? Who do you think you are? You've become an ally of the World Tree just because you've colluded with the barbaric wood elves. What does it have to do with you whether they advance or not? What right do you have to interfere with the internal affairs of my kingdom? Just because of the demon king beside you who destroyed my kingdom once? Have you ever thought about where you are now?! "
"Whether Lahti advances or not, or even whether she lives or dies, of course, has nothing to do with me." Not only were the two apprentices shocked by his quick conclusion, but even Li Aina, Ridan the Third, and the elven guards who came with the young king were shocked as well.
Seeing that most people were shocked, Lin was a little proud, but he had to continue explaining: "I was invited here in the first place. But it doesn't make a difference to me whether I do it or not. If I don't do it, everything will go on as usual, and I'll continue my journey. If I do do it, I can get what I need from the research. I'm not a friend of the World Tree. Apart from Wadewa, whom I have a friendship with, I have no responsibility or obligation to any World Tree. It's your freedom to treat your World Tree with whatever attitude you want. State policies, ideas, whatever. But the same thing is that I shouldn't interfere with them. "
"Since you understand this, you shouldn't care about these things and even set foot here. But you helped this group of elves who don't know anything and created these slanderous images. What do you have to say for doing these things? "
Being questioned so unreasonably by an old man, no matter how soft a person's temperament was, he was still a little unhappy. Lin replied somewhat sternly: "I investigated these things because you have something to hide, and it may have something to do with me. In order to confirm this, I tried to look into it. It's all in order to figure out, you, and them … "He pointed in the direction of Ridan III," What is your position? Because I know that a group of people who claim to be chess players won't hesitate to sacrifice a few chess pieces that have nothing to do with them. I don't want to be sacrificed or abandoned. So, I can only resort to this and find evidence of what you're doing. If things don't work out, I'll … leave. "
The reason why the person stabbed in the back was that in order to dodge the stab, the person stabbed in the back triggered the self-protection mechanism of Blink, allowing him to appear behind the person stabbed in the back in an instant.
Lin looked coldly at the back of the elven extraordinary assassin who missed his attack. Vasily Petrovich was ready to jump into the Shadow World again. But before that, the hammer of the Smith & Wesson M29 Extended Revolver in someone's hand hit the tail end of the special magic stone ammunition.
The protective gear made from the World Tree was completely immune to pure energy attacks. But among the seven magic guns made by Lin, the big hammer in his hand was the only magic gun that could shoot live ammunition. Moreover, its power was amazing.
The magic stone ammunition in the magazine burst out with an unimaginable sound, and the mass of the live ammunition at close range directly penetrated the World Tree plate armor and entered the body of the elf. At this time, the authority and magic in the magic stone ammunition produced a disorderly interaction, and then lost balance and exploded violently.
In the eyes of others, the elf who was about to jump into the Shadow World had a violent explosion in his chest and abdomen, blowing him in two. Moreover, the upper half of the elf's body fell into the Shadow World, and then suddenly appeared not far from where he was going. But the lower half of the elf remained in place forever. In this way, an extraordinary, a powerhouse among assassins, not only failed, but also died under a strange weapon.
"I have no position, and I can leave at any time. But if you're already treating me as an enemy and betting your lives on the line, then are you prepared? "
