In the center of the battlefield, both sides temporarily stopped attacking. In fact, it was just the wood elven archers retracting their arrows.
Although the defenders on the city walls had the advantage of location, their weapons couldn't attack the enemy. They could use war machines, but the number of war machines that could attack the enemy was limited. It was already too late to mobilize the equipment from the other places.
Moreover, with the elves' eyesight and evasion skills, unless they insisted on maintaining order and didn't dodge, it was impossible for them to be hit. However, this kind of persistence was impossible for the elves.
The reason why they had to maintain the formation and not dodge was to prevent the soldiers from blindly dodging, which would destroy the integrity of the formation and cause it to collapse. But for the elves, there was no such problem. Most of them were able to gracefully dodge the huge boulders thrown by the siege crossbows and trebuchets, and then maintain the formation.
Thus, as opponents of the same race, the defenders didn't even think of moving those cumbersome things. Facing this kind of situation where they could only take a beating, it was unknown which was more demoralizing, compared to being swept away by the bows of the Elven Emperor.
The Crown Prince came forward to negotiate, so of course he had to follow him. The red tape passed down from the Elven Empire was so complicated that it was difficult for ordinary people to understand. In comparison, the wood elf allied army's Druid Elder, who was the representative of the wood elves, went to the meeting alone. However, he wore an elven holy robe and held a transfer staff made from a branch of the World Tree. In terms of luxury, he didn't lose out to a prince of a kingdom.
After both sides greeted each other, the Crown Prince directly said, "Elder, I'll be straightforward. If we hand over the location of the Forest of Secrets, will the allied army retreat? "
Such a straightforward question reminded the druid elder of the rumors about His Highness. He was a vigorous young elf, not at all derogatory. The answer to the question was also very simple. The Druid Elder nodded and said, "Yes. As long as we know the exact location of the World Tree Vera and your country agrees to liberate it, we will move to the Forest of Secrets and carry out the follow-up operations. We won't continue to target your country's capital and invade it. "
"Alright, I will tell you the location. But I have a request, that is, I want to go with you. I also want to know what the allied army is going to do. "The young Crown Prince made a declaration that made all his followers turn green.
The Elder Druid wasn't surprised by such a request. However, this was not a decision he could make. He had to ask the human mage who was not the commander of the allied army, but no elves dared to ignore his opinion. With just a thought, the young leaf of the World Tree on the Staff of Transfer was transmitted to the people in the military formation.
In the next moment, Lin appeared ten steps away from the Judge. In fact, if he wanted to, he could directly appear beside either of the two people who were talking. However, doing so was not only frightening, but also a little rude. However, a certain someone didn't want to lift his foot and slowly walk such a long distance. Therefore, teleporting ten steps away was already his limit.
To the druid elder who was used to it, the sudden appearance or disappearance of a mage was no longer enough to shake him. But for the elves who were seeing it for the first time, a certain someone's movements were quite frightening. Without any movement, without any warning, the person suddenly appeared. Anyone who saw this scene would doubt the authenticity of the scene before them.
But as the person involved, Lin didn't care what others thought. He looked at the young elf in front of him who was obviously older than him, but could still be called young by him. In fact, he had always had a question. Even if the elves' physiological development from infancy to maturity was longer than that of humans, the amount of time that had passed for both sides was the same.
A few years of social experience was enough to turn an ignorant young man into a sly old fox. Then what about the elves? Even if they had to wait until they were sixty years old before their various bodily functions would mature, their minds had been honed for more than sixty years, yet they were still like inexperienced young men. Did this mean that their parents had protected them too well?
Of course, he couldn't say this out loud in front of them. Lin looked at the young elf in front of him who said that he wanted to follow him, as well as the panicked followers behind him, and asked, "How many of you want to follow?"
Regarding the only human in the allied army, as a member of the opposing camp, the Crown Prince of the Dunbas Kingdom naturally knew about him. However, there were too many rumors that were too bizarre, which made the young elf interested in this human involuntarily. Although the other party's sudden appearance also gave him a fright, he cast a curious look at the other party.
Since the other party asked in the common language of the maze, His Highness the Crown Prince didn't pretend to be pretentious. Like the other elven nobles, he insisted that the other party speak in elven language. Using the same fluent common tongue, he said, "If possible, please bring all my attendants with you. Can you do it? "
The young elf's words were provocative, but Lin didn't answer directly. Instead, he flashed twice. When he appeared in front of everyone again, he had a few sets of folded robes in his hand. He handed the robes out and said, "Come, I'll lend you these clothes. Put them on. One for each of you. Don't fight for them, don't break them, and you'll have to return them later. Also, let's say this first, don't try to hide these clothes. Wearing this holy robe means that you're already under the gaze of His Majesty Yuktrasir. He can take back this holy robe at any time and leave you where you are to wait for rescue. "
The elven holy robe was still called the elven holy robe. It wasn't like the mass-produced version of the Elven Emperor's Bow that had been renamed, because as long as it was made by the World Tree herself, to the elves, it was qualified to be crowned with the word "holy." However, although the name was the same, the core was completely different, and this was also different from the situation of the Elven Emperor's Bow.
The mass-produced version of the Elven Emperor's Bow could only choose to change the attack attribute during the manufacturing process, as well as increase the power. However, the old holy robe and the new version could be said to be two completely different things.
The additional magic effects were different, the usage was different, the protective ability was different, and even the fiber strength that could resist swords was different. The new version of the holy robe was much stronger than the old version.
And the situation that a certain someone was talking about was the new function of the holy robe that he had only recently learned about.
The source of this new ability was, of course, the Cassette Cutting that he had an in-depth communication with the World Tree not long ago. The positioning magic array pattern that a certain someone had engraved on the Cassette Cutting was also used on the robe woven by the World Tree. That was to say, as long as the World Tree was willing, it could retrieve the robe at any time, or teleport the elves wearing it back. Of course, it could also be used to rescue elves in danger.
However, since the World Tree didn't mention the last function, Lin didn't say much to the elves. According to the opinion of one of the Ancient Ones, Fathnaris, elves who had not experienced life and death situations were simply not capable of fighting at all. If they knew that they were in a safe state all the time, it would be equivalent to crippling the elves.
As for the World Tree's treatment of the elves as if they were raising poisonous insects, Lin didn't think that there would be another faction of elves rebelling and eventually establishing a kingdom. However, a certain someone wouldn't go and help the wood elves seek justice from the World Tree.
The wood elves didn't think that they had been wronged, and they already regarded such a life as a part of their lives. As an outsider, it was definitely an act of arrogance to criticize the customs of a people.
Therefore, probably not many people knew about this matter. Even if they knew, they would only know that the World Tree could retrieve the robe at any time and give up on the elves wearing the robe.
Another thing was that the new robe was different from the old one. After getting the robe, the crown prince and his guards immediately discovered the difference between the two. The old robe was just a simple garment, but the new robe was more like a smock, an outer robe, and the like. In other words, it didn't matter how one wore it inside.
This saved the noble elves from having to change their clothes on the spot. They just had to put on the borrowed robe and fasten the belt. Even though it was so simple, but His Highness the Crown Prince still meticulously put on the robe.
When the young elf was ready, Lin ignored the etiquette of not touching the body of a noble at will, put his hand on His Highness the Crown Prince's shoulder, and said: "Since you're dressed, let's go."
"But Sir Wizard, I haven't told you about the location of the Forest of Secrets …"
"It doesn't matter, I already know." A certain someone said and blinked.
The reason why he knew the location of the Secret Realm Forest was because the World Trees could sense each other and knew the approximate direction and distance. In addition, Cassette Cutting didn't necessarily need to touch to pry into a person's heart. When the other party had strong feelings about something and was thinking about it, Cassette Cutting would know about it.
Ever since His Highness the Crown Prince appeared, he had been thinking about leading the coalition forces to the World Tree's location. Even the scheming in his heart and his strong emotions were mostly captured by the box. And some of these things were learned by a certain Wizard through Cassette Cutting.
The reason why it wasn't all of them was because a certain someone didn't want to know all of the thoughts of others. Therefore, he let a certain gossip-loving sword sift through the contents and report the important ones to him. The best case scenario was to say nothing. Because a certain someone wasn't interested in other people's private matters.
Since he knew the target location, then there was no need to talk nonsense. He blinked. If he really had something to say, he would have time to talk nonsense after he got the destination.
After a certain human disappeared with His Highness the Crown Prince and his entourage, the wood elven coalition forces moved at the same time. The staff-wielding centurions gathered the troops by whistling. As long as a group of 100 people was gathered, they would use their staffs to strike the ground and blink away. The coalition forces' phalanxes on the city wall disappeared under the eyes of the elves.
The wood elven army came and left so suddenly. If it weren't for the mottled traces of attacks on a section of the city wall, the elves would have thought that it was just a daydream.
