Game of the World Tree

When the first rays of sunlight penetrated the darkness, illuminated the earth, and brought the dawn of a new day, the battle outside Augus was completely over.

Flocks of crows hovered over the battlefield, making an unpleasant "hoarse" sound, and the open battlefield had been soaked in black and red with blood.

Abandoned tattered armor and mutilated weapons are scattered everywhere, and every now and then you can see dumped siege vehicles and siege towers still burning.

Horrible corpses can be seen everywhere, densely packed, but a considerable number of them have been stripped of their equipment.

The tattered aristocratic flags were either planted obliquely on the ground, or had long been trampled to pieces, or, like burning siege equipment, slowly turned to ashes in the flames.

On top of the war, a tall figure was busy busy, or picking up the equipment that was still in good condition on the ground, or picking up armor and weapons from the appalling corpses without being bothered and disgusting.

Those are the elf players who participated in the war.

Most of their equipment was scarred and stained with mottled blood, and many people lost their Warcraft mounts in this battle.

However, in the end, they won this battle.

The entire battle lasted a day and a night, and the outcome of the battle was not at all suspenseful.

Even though the Imperial Northern Legion had formed a mighty army of 700,000 people, the days of storming and infighting had already exhausted the entire legion, and its cohesion had fallen to the bottom.

Facing the charge of the elf cavalry, they were simply unable to organize such an effective resistance...

And the most direct result is that the army of 700,000 people was directly overwhelmed by the player's celestial cavalry troops.

A spectacular defeat was staged on the entire battlefield outside Augus City.

The most ironic thing is that, in the 700,000 army, quite a few noble soldiers were not killed by the players, but fell and trampled in the chaotic rout, and were trampled to death by their own people.

This is also the main source of corpses throughout the battlefield.

Except for some of the great nobles who reluctantly organized private troops to break through the encirclement and escape successfully, nearly 70% of the coalition forces were all destroyed in this vast land in one day and one night...

Arthur, the commander of the garrison of Augs City, stood on the hillside and looked at this vast battlefield. His expression was full of shock, and in addition to the shock, there was also a kind of illusory feeling like a dream.

He never imagined that the entire 700,000 imperial coalition army would be destroyed in this way.

Yes, annihilation.

Seventy percent of the army was killed on the spot, and the rest of the army collapsed completely, which was enough to call the entire army annihilated.

And all of this was done by the elves in an almost miraculous way.

He felt that he might never forget the spectacular charge of the Elf cavalry one day and one night before.

He can no longer imagine that there is any army in this world that is more powerful than the Elf Chosen.

"How, Mr. Arthur, how does victory feel?"

A familiar voice sounded behind him, with a slight smile.

Arthur turned his head and saw that the All-Star Ah'Dai was standing behind him, and he was still playing with an exquisite weapon that was obviously a noble commanding sword.

Arthur was stunned and said with emotion:

"I didn't think about it, I really didn't think about it..."

"Didn't think we could win so quickly?"

All-Star Dumb asked back.

Arthur nodded and said dizzily:

"Yes, I thought we would fight a very difficult war, but I didn't expect the victory to come so suddenly..."

"Hahaha, it's our luck, and the Imperial Army is too stretched. To be honest, I didn't expect it to be so easy to fight."

All-star Ah'Dai laughed.

After a few conversations between the two, Arthur asked again:

"By the way, what about the escaped imperial nobles? Duke Rosen and Earl Meath seem to have all escaped."

"no need."

All-star Ah'Dai shook his head.

Saying that, he smiled:

"Don't worry, they can't run away."

...

Western border.

A group of rout soldiers, consisting of hundreds of embarrassed noble knights, were stumbling toward the north and fleeing.

Most of them had lost their weapons, were in a state of embarrassment, and their expressions were full of fear and confusion.

Joseph, the Duke of Rosen, and the Earl of Meath were located there. They were fled by their own guards, their hair was disheveled and their faces were pale.

Joseph has long lost the high spirits he had a few days ago.

His face was pale and bloodless, and his eyes were dull and desperate.

Before the war there were 700,000 troops.

And now, only the hundreds of people who followed him escaped.

Among them, there are less than 200 people who really belong to their Rosen family.

And the other tens of thousands of defeated soldiers had no idea where they had fled...

fiasco...

Naked*naked*naked fiasco!

In just two days, the coalition army formed by the large and small nobles in the western part of the entire empire left the field in such a comical way.

Joseph didn't even dare to think about what this result would bring...

All he knew was that he was done.

Such a huge loss will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the Imperial Parliament.

More seriously, their Rosen family may even be deprived of the title of elector.

The battle hit the Rosen family too hard.

The army that had finally been rebuilt after the last time the family was wiped out, once again vanished.

I am afraid that they will not be able to organize enough strength to fight against the Imperial Council for a long time.

bitter.

The price...it's too heavy!

Thinking about it, Joseph couldn't help but feel grief from his heart, and even burst into tears.

As the duke, he cried bitterly, and the nobles and guards who followed and escaped couldn't hold back, and the cries gradually rose and fell in the team.

But when his voice became hoarse from crying, Joseph suddenly raised his head and looked angrily at the gray-faced Earl of Meath on the other side:

"It's you! It's all you idiot! If it wasn't for your stupidity, how could we be so defeated?!"

Hearing Joseph's scolding, the other nobles also cast angry and resentful glances at Count Meath.

Feeling the malicious gaze piercing his body, Count Meath turned his eyes numbly.

He was silent, just leaning on Broken Sword's hand, trembling even more.

"Think better, at least... we all escaped, and as long as we escape, we can continue to recruit new troops and fight back..."

A nobleman said with a sigh.

As soon as these words came out, many despondent nobles also regained their energy and began to think about how to save their families after the defeat so as to minimize the losses of their families...

However, at this moment, a loud dragon roar came from the sky.

"Dragon?"

Some of the routed soldiers raised their heads and looked towards the sky like frightened birds.

Above the sky, a majestic dragon was constantly circling, and a tall figure could vaguely be seen on the dragon's back.

Seeing the familiar appearance, the nobles and the defeated soldiers turned pale and pale.

In the previous battle, they had already cast a deep psychological shadow on the elves.

"No! It's the Elf Dragon Knight!"

"They saw us!"

"Escape! Escape!"

All of a sudden, the defeated team fell into a great panic, and instantly accelerated the speed of their escape.

However, before they could escape too far, the familiar sound of iron hooves came from all directions, and along with the billowing dust, the elven cavalry that terrified every noble and soldier reappeared in their sight.

This time, the elves came not from the rear, but from the front.

They are wandering in the Western Territory, not participating in the war, and are specially responsible for chasing and killing the player troops that are defeated.

Soon, the defeated nobles were surrounded by groups, and long spears were placed around their necks.

A player who was obviously the commander of the legion rolled over and stepped out of the crowd.

He looked at Joseph, who had an earthy face, and then at Earl Meath, who had empty eyes. After comparing it with the screenshots of the portraits posted on the battlefield channel, he laughed:

"Hahaha! Look what we found?"

After laughing, he looked solemn and gave an order:

"Catch them and bring them back to Augs City!"

After speaking, in the desperate gaze of the nobles, the elves rushed up and tied them up.

...

When the news of the annihilation of the Northern Legion came back to the center of the empire, the upper classes of the entire Holy Mania Empire were shocked.

Less than two months have passed since the start of the war, and in just the first battle, a full 700,000 troops were swept away.

If this unbelievable news is not confirmed by multiple parties, it is impossible to believe that it is true...

However, the shock at the top of the empire was just the beginning.

Because they were quickly numb to the shock of one bad news after another.

The northern battlefield is only one of the battlefields of the entire Great Holy War.

At the same time as the northern battle came to an end, the eastern battlefield, the southern battlefield, and the death desert battlefield also broke out one after another.

On every battlefield, players face dozens to millions of noble coalition forces. On every battlefield, the strength of the Church of Life is far inferior to that of the Eternal Church.

However, not only the northern battlefield, but after the outbreak of battles on various battlefields, the battle situation has been shocking one after another.

on the desert of death.

The Mengmeng Committee is centered on Sandstorm City. More than 200,000 players and the 100,000 Silent Alliance reinforcements supported by the underground world fought battles in the desert with the invading Iris Kingdom coalition.

It is clear that the army of the Kingdom of Ayres far exceeds the number of the allied forces of the elves. However, with the advantages of geographical location and resurrection, the players have been defeating the army of the Kingdom of Ayres, almost driving them out of the desert of death.

In the eastern part of Maple Moon Freeland.

The defensive troops of the Heart of Nature and the Free Lords of the Maple Moon defended the territory along the line, and wars broke out again and again with the strongest eastern coalition forces.

Obviously, the numbers of the two sides are vastly different, but under Li Mu's superb command, they fought well.

The entire Eastern Theater was turned into a brutal meat grinder.

In the rear, the player's rangers promoted Demacia's tactics, turning the rear of the Eastern Legion upside down, almost cutting off the logistics line of the Eastern Coalition.

In the end, the eastern coalition forces, which were under increasing pressure, had to give up the onslaught and confronted the Fengyue Free Leader.

In the southern region, where the overall player strength is the weakest, the battle situation is even more surprising.

The Dao Chaser Alliance formed by Frank broke out with strong combat effectiveness, and together with the player's Calamity Knights, launched a fierce battle with the Empire's Southern Legion.

Although the losses were heavy, the southern legion of the empire only occupied less than half of the territory in the south, and could no longer advance half a step, but fell into the vast sea of ​​guerrilla warfare composed of players and life believers...

Since the beginning of the Great Holy War, the momentum of the millions of troops on the side of the human kingdom swept everything, and it was only after the war began that it suffered successive setbacks.

That is, in the north of the Forest of Spirits, the first legion facing the Allied Forces of the God of War is under great pressure.

However, after the God of War troop with the Orcs coalition as the main force began to attack the Forest of Elves, the Dragonborn Kingdom in the northeastern part of the continent brazenly launched an attack by the Half-Dragon Free Council and many affiliated forces behind the God of War army, which greatly eased the pressure on the Forest of Elves.

What's more subtle is that after the outbreak of the war, players gradually discovered that the fighting spirit of the Orc Alliance did not seem to be as strong as they imagined.

After the fierce battle at the beginning, they were more like pretending to be foreign workers.

The situation of the war on the entire continent, except for the northern battlefield, has fallen into a strange state of confrontation.

And this confrontation did not last long.

After the remaining players who were not attacked entered the battle, the balance of the war began to rapidly tilt towards the elves.

Several border cities that the Fengyue Free Leader had fallen were quickly recaptured, and the Southern Leader also had a tendency to counterattack.

The news of successive defeats was transmitted from the front line to the rear of the human kingdom, and the entire upper class of human beings fell into a kind of confusion and panic.

They never imagined that the overall strength of their own side was several times more than that of the other side, but after the war, they would fight so sloppy.

It was clearly a thousand years ago that the human army led the crusade against the coalition forces, but when they fought against the Church of Nature, they were invincible.

It was not until this time that the players suddenly realized that they thought they would usher in a difficult headwind, but they never expected it to be a tailwind...

The allied army of nobles in the human world pulled their hips far beyond their imagination.

In other words, not only the fallen noble soldiers are too weak, but also the players with the game system and resurrection ability are too strong...

The news of the victories came back to the Forest of Spirits, and the morale of the players became more and more high, and the fighting spirit became more and more high-spirited.

It's just that some sharp-minded people have faintly discovered the problem.

"It's not right...very wrong."

On the eastern battlefield, Li Mu rode on a unicorn and stood on a hill, looking at the player troops below who were chasing and killing the defeated Imperial Army, and frowned slightly:

"The Imperial Army seems to be too weak..."

"Hey, Brother Mu, it's not that they are too weak, it's that we are too strong!"

Beside him, the player of Heart of Nature said proudly.

However, Li Mu shook his head slightly:

"wrong……"

Speaking, he looked into the distance, his eyes gradually became solemn:

"Let me ask you, until now, have you ever seen a legendary professional, or in other words, an army of trial knights?"

After hearing his words, the players of Heart of Nature were stunned.

They looked at each other, someone frowned and thought for a moment, uncertainly:

"Perhaps... Is it not time to play yet? It's like first being weak and then strong. They won't appear until the noble troops are defeated?"

Li Mu:  …

He glanced at the other person speechlessly, and shook his head gently:

"When is this all, haven't you changed your mind? Don't judge "Elf Kingdom" by the logic of other games' clearance and monsters, this is not just a simple game, it is more like a 'real world', all the The logic of the plot is also developed based on reality.”

After speaking, Li Mu pondered for a moment and said meaningfully:

"But no matter what, it is absolutely right to attack the human kingdom and weaken the power of the Eternal Church. Now that most of the fighting power of the human nobles is contained by us, it is time to use the power that has been prepared for a long time."

"The flame that burns the human world can already be ignited..."
