In contrast to the Wise Mad King's hysterical laughter, the Black Robe Advisor managed to maintain his composure. After a moment of thought, he asked, "Did we underestimate the Guardians' power? Did the traitor lie to us? "
The Black Robe Advisor thought about it for a long time, and this was the only possible explanation for their failure.
In order to take down Eom Village, which was the toughest and toughest target among the traditionalists, the Wise Mad King had made ample preparations. He had taken advantage of the chaos created by the outsiders to set up a series of interference barriers and shielding barriers. Once activated, the village would be completely isolated from the outside world, and they would not have to worry about reinforcements from the other traditionalists.
The Wise Mad King planned to launch a sneak attack with a forbidden spell, pretend to retreat, and then launch a full-scale sneak attack. The old men in Eom Village would not be able to withstand this. Even if the first round of sneak attacks did not kill many of them, it would be enough to destroy their willpower, plunge them into despair, panic, grief, and madness. Then, the Wise Mad King would launch an unexpected counterattack, and Eom Village would have no choice but to surrender.
Even if all of Eom Village's soldiers were determined and had the will to fight, they would still be able to face the enemy head-on with sufficient preparation. Therefore, Eom Village didn't need to consider their own strength. The only thing they needed to pay attention to was the bear, the tree, and the horse.
According to the information he had obtained from the traitor, the Wise Mad King knew the abilities and weaknesses of the three Guardians. They had made sufficient preparations to ensure that the Guardians would not be able to do anything.
At this point, Eom Village was almost in the bag. The only variable in the whole plan was that d * mned Hope. After tricking him into leaving, Eom Village would be in the Wise Mad King's hands.
So, what was the problem? Why did it fail? The only explanation was that the three Guardians were not suppressed … The Black Robe Advisor looked at the Wise Mad King. He did not even have the time to read the secret report before it was torn up, so he had to wait for the Wise Mad King to reveal the answer.
To his surprise, the Wise Mad King shook his head after hearing the Black Robe Advisor's conjecture. "The trap against the three old men worked. The reason for the failure was not that. It was Hope's students."
"Ah??!!" The black-robed advisor was stunned. His voice changed in surprise. "According to the information from Isythre, among his students, other than the girl from the Church who has a lost defensive divine spell, aren't the rest of them just playthings that look delicate and obedient? He was evaluated as being of no threat at all, completely useless! Why are they the key to breaking the deadlock?! "
"That group of trash can't even gather the most basic information!" The Wise Mad King roared in anger. He tried to lift the mahogany desk in front of him, but the desk was too heavy. He tried to lift it several times, but it did not budge. Panting, the Wise Mad King slumped back into his chair and said, "We've greatly underestimated those students' combat prowess. I can't believe such a perfect plan would go wrong in such a small place!"
Even Baiyi himself did not know how powerful Baiyi's students could be on the battlefield, let alone these outsiders.
When the Cleric Walker shared his memories of the battle with the Voidwalkers, Baiyi was shocked. He did not expect his students to be able to hold their own in such a critical situation. They were even more important than he was!
Let's start from when Baiyi released the Cleric Walker and left Eom Village.
Little Mia was hugging the hammerhead shark plushie in her arms. She watched as Baiyi disappeared into the night sky. Suddenly, she felt an itch in her chest. She looked down and saw the hammerhead shark plushie rubbing itself against her chest.
"Sharkie, what's wrong?" Mia raised the plushie to her eyes and looked at it worriedly. Suddenly, the plushie freed itself from Mia's grip and rubbed itself against Mia's soft cheeks.
Then, the hammerhead shark plushie turned into a wild dog that had escaped its leash. It rubbed against Tisdale, then Attie and Nota. The point was, the girls did not know what was inside the plushie. They were fooled by its adorable appearance. Not only did they not scream to protect themselves, they even took the initiative to rub against her …
It was a beautiful moment. If this was a dream, the Cleric Walker would never wake up from it. The girls were forced to change out of their favorite short skirts and stockings for old-fashioned trousers because of Baiyi's unreasonable demands. Even so, the Cleric Walker was satisfied.
Just as the Cleric Walker was about to throw himself into Vidomina's arms, Laeticia, who he had unwittingly missed, grabbed the plushie's tail.
"Why is it acting so weird today?" Laeticia asked Mia as she tugged on the plushie's tail.
"I don't know. I don't think Sharkie is familiar today, "Mia replied curiously.
"Unfamiliar? I don't know why, but it feels so familiar, "Laeticia said.
She did not know what the Cleric Walker was thinking. Why did he suddenly become so obedient? He also let go of the elves who were wearing short skirts and revealing their fair legs. Perhaps he was too embarrassed to move when he saw that the others were sad.
After that, he no longer had the chance to move.
"Something's not right! The enemy had made a comeback! Everyone, get ready for battle! " The Great Druid, who had transformed into a stalk of green foxtail, shouted at the elves. Although the elves did not know where he was, they still recognized his voice. They dropped what they were doing and ran to find weapons.
However, after experiencing such a catastrophe, the village was completely burned down. On top of that, because they were participating in the bonfire party, other than some archers who were maintaining their daily vigilance, most of their bows and arrows had been burned …
Without their bows, the elves' combat prowess was no different from that of a goose. They were about to face a group of enemies armed to the teeth. A large number of heavily armored infantrymen stood at the front, followed by sorcerers and archers at the back. They were also equipped with long-range defensive barriers. There were more than a thousand of them!
On the other hand, there were only 600 people in Eom Village. Other than the elderly and children who could not fight, there were less than 300 young men who could fight, which was less than half of the village. Moreover, they had lost the only weapon they knew …
The pressure was now on the three guardians.
But before the two of them could make contact, the unicorn seemed to have sensed something. It let out a startled neigh, turned around, and galloped in the direction of its home. Mr. Bear looked in the direction that the unicorn had run off to, and a look of anger appeared on its face. "They actually sent people to attack the ponies!"
The Great Druid, who had transformed into his tree form, screamed in pain. "Argh! They! They're burning the forest! "
As soon as the Great Druid finished speaking, a series of flames burst out of the forest, and the entire forest began to burn.
Not only that, but many barrier enchantments that were set up in the forest were also activated. The big druid suddenly felt like his carotid artery was cut open, and his power was flowing out like a geyser.
"They're using despicable methods to cover the entire forest! I have to stop them!" The Great Druid roared. He was in a dire situation, and he could not even protect himself. He could not care less about the others.
The Great Druid had abandoned his physical body in pursuit of the Way of Nature, and his entire being had become a part of the forest. Although Baiyi, who was an academic, did not know how to deal with him, the Wise Mad King had already received first-hand information about the Great Druid's weakness. The forest around Eom Village was the Great Druid's body, and it was also the source of his power. To deal with the Great Druid, the Wise Mad King only needed to destroy a large area of the forest.
This Great Druid, whose weakness was too obvious, could not even withstand a single blow once he was caught by someone?
Even before the two sides met, two of the Great Druid's main combatants had already been crippled. The only one left standing was Mr. Bear, who looked like a ragdoll. The Wise Mad King ordered the Elders to gather everyone in the village and leave with the elderly and children. Then, he led the young adults, who were armed with branches and rocks, to block the path of the Great Druid.
The Great Druid did not expect the Great Druid to be led by someone it knew.
In front of the Great Druid stood a humanoid creature made of solid rock. The creature was at least three meters tall, and its body was covered in a layer of green moss. It looked like a gigantic demon statue.
"The Mountain Walker of Mountain Spring Village? Why … Why are you here? Could it be … because of what happened before? "Mr. Bear's expression changed as it asked in surprise.
It was obvious that the Great Druid was similar to Grandpa Tree. However, instead of using a plant as his medium, he had chosen the hardest rock.
As an important member of the Traditionalist Faction, the Great Druid was very familiar with Mr. Bear and Grandpa Tree. He knew their weaknesses, and it was no surprise that he had come up with a plan to deal with them.
"Your hearts are as cold as stone. I thought you wouldn't be so surprised," the Great Druid replied coldly. The Stone Druid replied coldly, "When I needed help the most, you rejected me. The one who helped me was His Majesty. Now, it's time for me to repay the favor and take revenge."
