There was a strange brazier in the middle of the pitch-black temple. Green flames burned fiercely. Strangely, there were many strange images in the flames. There were mountains, castles, and large numbers of demon soldiers.
At this moment, a golden-haired man was sitting on a stone chair. His right hand was supporting his cheek as he stared at the flames.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past.
"You're back, my good daughter."
The man suddenly opened his mouth. His appearance was no different from a human's, but under the illumination of the flames, he looked especially evil.
"Father, those three useless Demon King still haven't made a move. What should we do? I'm afraid that if this drags on, that old undying hero might run away. "
An evil golden-haired girl appeared in the darkness.
"Don't worry, he won't run away."
"Oh? Why? "
"Didn't I tell you to kill his great-grandson? He's probably very angry now." The man said.
However, the golden-haired girl showed a puzzled expression and said, "But he doesn't seem to care. I don't think he's as stupid as that An Luo."
The man smiled and said, "Of course he's not stupid. But don't worry, he won't run away this time. As for why I know, it's because I was once his close friend."
Hearing this, the golden-haired girl was stunned for a moment.
"If you can't wait, you can lead the charge for those cowardly Demon King. Use your summoner's power …"
"Yes, father."
The golden-haired girl suddenly smiled. A pair of red eyes suddenly appeared behind her.
… …
Just as the demons were about to make a move, the humans were also racing against time to prepare.
In the sky, a Griffin Knight quickly flew across the sky and directly arrived at the Snake Wanfu Empire's imperial capital.
"Stop! Who is it! How dare you barge into the imperial palace! "
The Griffin Knight dismounted and took out a document before he could even catch his breath.
"I'm a messenger from the Union! I have important news to inform Queen Gianna! "
At the same time, on the other side of the strait, a Wyvern Knight landed in a military camp in the sky above Rhode Island.
"I'm a messenger from the Union. I have a confidential document to hand over to the Soaring Dragon Prince and the Immortal Hero!"
In the north, under the white mountain range, where White Durriss' army was stationed, a messenger riding a giant eagle landed.
"I'm the Union's messenger! I have an important document to give to Princess Duris! "
In the end, less than two hours after the Union's highest decision-making meeting ended, the news reached the hands of the Four Kingdoms' Kings and Heroes.
"A surprise attack? Oh, although it's very bold, it's worth a try. Pass down my orders! Gather the Sea God's forces! We will set out for the West Sea in two days! "
Queen Gianna gave the order and participated in the plan.
Rhode Island's Martial Arts Sect. Two handsome young men were sitting in their headquarters. One of them was the second prince of the Dragon Boat Empire, Xiang Long. The other one was the head of the Martial Arts Sect, Longevity Brave. He was much calmer than before.
The two of them finished reading the letter and fell into deep thought. Suddenly, they raised their heads at the same time and looked at each other.
"It's worth a try. My Dragon Boat Empire will participate."
Xiang Long said.
The Evil Dragon Emperor's Domain had a large number of Magic Crystals. It was the place with the most resources. If they could obtain the resources there, the Dragon Boat Empire wouldn't need to put the Luas Empire in their eyes.
The corners of his mouth curved slightly.
"Since it's related to the life and death of humans, our Martial Arts Sect and Rhode Island's warriors won't just stand by and watch."
Longevity replied.
"I've been waiting for you to say that. With a powerful ally like you joining, I feel much more at ease."
"You're too kind, Prince."
Longevity smiled faintly.
The Dragon Boat Empire and Rhode Island's Martial Arts Sect would participate in the war.
The biggest problem was the Luas Empire, which had the worst relationship with the Union, and the notoriously bad Princess White Durriss.
The messenger who delivered the letter was wearing a leather jacket. He was exhausted from the nonstop travel. At this moment, he was kneeling on a red carpet. His hands were trembling as he supported himself on the ground.
There was a pair of white leather boots on his back. A pair of long legs were placed on his back. The owner of the legs was yawning as she casually looked at the light yellow parchment letter in her hand.
Her appearance was just like the rumors. She had white skin, a high nose bridge, and exquisite facial features. She had an arrogant temperament that made people know she wasn't to be trifled with.
This woman wearing a red hat was the only hero of the Luas Empire, the daughter of the King, White Durriss.
"Ah ~ Is that all?"
"Uh … Yes, Your Highness. This matter concerns the fate of mankind and the safety of your empire. Please."
"Shut up. I didn't ask you to say so much."
Bam! The messenger was kicked out and rolled a few times on the ground.
"Ah ~ Go back and tell your master that I, White, don't need anyone to teach me how to do things. I will only do things according to my own will. Get lost."
She threw the parchment letter in her hand.
"Princess White! Please reconsider! "
The messenger was shocked. When he accepted the mission, the higher-ups repeatedly urged him to persuade the other party at all costs.
"What conditions do you want before you're willing to send troops? Our Union … "
"Shut up!"
Halfway through the messenger's words, White waved his hand, and the messenger disappeared in a flash.
When the messenger came back to his senses, he found himself sitting alone in the snow with a confused Snow Eagle.
The northern battlefront had failed to persuade the Luas Empire.
The news was sent back to the Union within a day.
"As expected, the Luas Empire isn't willing to send troops. The northern plan will be difficult to achieve," Leo said.
"It's okay. The most important thing is that the Dragon Boat Empire and the Ophiuchus Empire have already agreed to our plan. Even without the northern battlefront, we can still deal a heavy blow to the Demon King," Layle said.
However, she felt uneasy. She had put everything on the line for this plan to prove herself and to achieve that goal.
Destroy the heroes and the Demon King …
That's right. The person who gave her the information was the Demon King, Richard. He was currently leading an army towards the Orcs' territory in the east. The Demon King knew about the other Demon King's actions because he had captured Ze Ba and also because he had a unique intelligence network. The Shapeshifters' intelligence network was the Queen Mother's subordinates. They had long since infiltrated the human and demon races, hiding in every corner.
Thus, the person behind this plan wasn't Layle Phoenix, but rather the Demon King, Richard. His actions seemed to be helping the humans, but in reality, he was preparing for the development of the Wussen Empire. To the east was the threat of the powerful Orcs. To the south was a chaotic land occupied by the Evil Spirits. No one could benefit from it. To the north was the ruins of the Gotham Empire. Most of the territory had already been occupied by the Orcs. They were constantly being harassed by the enemy and were temporarily unable to develop.
To the east was the human force. It could be said that they were the greatest threat to the Demon King. In order to develop, he had formulated this plan to divert the attention of the humans and make their armies stay away from his territory.
At this time, he would be able to act freely and plunge his neighbor, the Liska Empire, into chaos. He would then take the opportunity to take control of this country and use it as his buffer.
Fortunately, this empire already had problems. After years of famine, the commoners complained. In order to stabilize their position, the King and the Marquis all tried to curry favor with the Union. They actively participated in the Union's winter counterattack. Not only did they increase the tax on grain, they also forced many young people to join the army. In the war against the Evil Gods, less than a tenth of them returned. Countless orphans and widows were still bitterly waiting for their loved ones to return.
Thus, before the Demon King could personally stir up this mess, someone had already done it for him.
This person was the leader of the Eagle Corps, Vulcan. After the destruction of the ancient city of Stone, it was said that the leader was originally the second-in-command of the Black Gang of Funeral City. It was said that he was a four-star death row criminal with a high bounty on his head. Now that they had plundered the treasures buried in the ancient city of Stone and recruited people everywhere, they had become a force that couldn't be ignored.
In the eyes of others, he was like a heaven-sent palanquin. The destroyed ancient city of Stone and the fallen Count Arcas provided the conditions for his rise. He used the treasures he plundered to purchase large amounts of food from unknown sources.
It must be known that in this era, being able to provide enough food was enough to buy people's hearts. This was also the biggest reason for the rise of the Eagle Corps. They bought or snatched weapons from merchants passing by the ancient city of Stone. After arming themselves, they changed from a bandit group to an army organization in the name of opposing the oppression of the empire. They began to fight against the local feudal lords and achieved victory.
This victory caused similar rebel groups to appear all over the Liska Empire. In just two months, there were splits within the empire. Many of the Marquis and Nobles announced that they had broken away from the royal family and became the main force of the rebellion against the empire.
The Demon King naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity. He had already secretly sent an army to infiltrate this country amidst the chaos …
… …
Reina finally made up her mind and went to look for Xiao Sen.
"A way to remove the curse? No, we don't know either. None of us know about this kind of evil magic. I think only she and the person who taught her know how to remove it, "Song Lin replied.
Looking at the dark red stone in her hand, Reina frowned. She decided to return the power of the Tree of God that Isabella had snatched away to the Tree of God. This undoubtedly violated the agreement between her and the Elf King, but she still made this choice.
"Then we can't help the Tree of God?"
Reina asked.
The Xiao Sen and Xiao Sen looked at each other. Then Song Lin said, "No, there is still something we can do. This is also something we want to ask of you."
"What is it?"
"We are responsible for driving away the insects, but some abominable insects still laid eggs in the Tree of God. Now, the Tree of God is constantly being eaten by the insects. If this continues, the weak Tree of God may die," Guoguo said.
"After the insects eat the Tree of God, their descendants will change. We have lost our power and can't fight against the mutated insects, so we can only ask for help from someone who has the ability to enter this place."
"Which is you, Reina."
The two said.
"Me? But, but I am also very weak. "
Reina said without confidence. Originally, she was quite satisfied with her strength. Among the people of the same age, no one could beat her. Even her cousin Fina said that her strength was not inferior to an adult.
However, after meeting Rinchad and the others, she realized that there was still a big gap between them.
"We believe in you. You were able to pass through the dangerous Black Forest to come here. This proves that you are not weak," Song Lin said.
"Yes! Moreover, I can feel the powerful strength in your body. You have an aura similar to the Tree of God. Perhaps you are the messenger sent by the heavens to save the Tree of God! "Guoguo said.
Reina, who was praised, suddenly felt like she was floating. Her heart was filled with joy.
"Re, really? I can really do it? "
"Yes! I can guarantee this! As long as you do as we say, I guarantee that it will be easy! "Song Lin nodded and said.
"Then what exactly do I have to do?"
Reina asked.
"Wait a moment. Let us prepare."
After a while, Song Lin held a tree branch and commanded the group of Little Forest People who were lying on the ground drawing. After a while, they drew a strange tree. Although it was a simple drawing, it was not hard to tell that this tree was the Tree of Life.
Reina looked up and confirmed it.
Then, they drew many passages, entrances, and arrows in the tree trunk. A small person with a large head and two small bumps on his head appeared in front of the Tree of God.
"Alright! It's about time. This is our perfect plan. Let's say that this is you. "
Song Lin pointed at the small person with a big head and said.
"This is not me! It's so ugly. "
"Hypothetically! It's just hypothetically! "
Song Lin shouted.
"That's not the point. First, you have to bring our insect repellent. It emits a smell that bugs hate. As long as you bring it, those hateful bugs will not come near you. However, there is a time limit. The effective time is about three hours. In these three hours, you have to reach the innermost part of the Tree of God, which is here. "
It pointed to a simple drawing that was rather dark and had many locusts and caterpillars.
"This is what we found after investigating. This is the nest of the bugs. They will reproduce here and lay their eggs here. After you reach here, take out the second medicine we gave you. It's a super strong insecticide specially made by us Little Forest People. Just throw it into the nest of the bugs! However, you have to be careful. The insecticide's effective time is three days. The bugs will not die immediately. In order to completely kill these bugs, you have to make sure that the insecticide covers the entire nest. Therefore, you have to place the insecticide at three points. "
Song Lin pointed at the points they drew. Those places were marked with crosses and pictures of dead bugs.
"That's all the content of the mission. It's very simple! However, don't let your guard down. The bugs are very dangerous. Moreover, the interior of the Tree of God has been eaten by them. This map is the map before the bugs invaded. Perhaps there have been changes inside. You have to act according to the situation. Remember, you have to come back within three hours. It doesn't matter if you fail. We can continue to make the insecticide. That's the main point of the mission. "
"I see. Does that mean I can't use fire magic anymore?"
Reina asked.
"Use it as you wish. Normal flames can't hurt the Tree of God. The Tree of God grows by absorbing the energy of fire and lightning."
"But it's afraid of bugs," Reina complained.
"Nonsense! Nothing is perfect, not even the Tree of God! That's why we Little Forest People exist. The Tree of God provides us with food and a place to rest. We help it drive away the bugs. Everything has its own rules. It's nature! "Song Lin retorted.
"I understand. You just have to place the insecticide at the designated place, right?"
Reina said as she stood up.
"Mm, that's basically it. However, I have to remind you again, don't underestimate the bugs."
