Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 959 - 673: Farce and Divine Favor_2

Demacia kicked several knights into the river under the pier, hoisting his great sword and mocking:

"Is this how the Human Empire asks for help? If you’re seeking aid, then seek aid. But calling it an alliance? If it’s an alliance, at least come with some sincerity. This benefits everyone, doesn’t it? Or is it that... you actually have no intention of ’alliance’ and just came looking for trouble?"

"Who are you?"

Count Baier squinted at Demacia, questioning.

"Tsk... it’s that high-and-mighty attitude that irritates me at first sight."

Demacia clicked his tongue.

Then, he beckoned to the players behind him:

"Brothers, tie them up and throw them in the river, let them sober up a bit."

Upon hearing Demacia’s command, the other players of Heart of Nature chuckled maliciously and drew their weapons with ill intentions.

However, just at this moment, a voice suddenly scolded from the Imperial Fleet:

"Enough!"

A formidable pressure spread out, instantly suppressing the elves on the dock, including Demacia, who was already at the mid-silver level. Everyone felt a terrifying force locking onto them, making their hair stand on end and almost losing control over their bodies.

And the next moment, a figure in a red bishop’s robe descended from the flagship.

He was an elderly man with gray-white hair, having only one eye, while the other was covered by a golden eyepatch, his whole body shrouded in gentle Holy Light.

"Red Archbishop Morris..."

Sofia’s expression was grave.

Red Archbishop...

Demacia and the players narrowed their eyes subtly.

Through ongoing exchanges with the Human Empire, players had already gained some understanding of the priest rankings within the Eternal Church.

Anyone who becomes a Red Archbishop is a devout and fanatical Legendary Expert!

However, despite the appearance of a legend, Demacia did not seem fearful at all.

He just chuckled, his expression mocking:

"Isn’t this just a legend? What’s there to be arrogant about in the Elf Forest?"

After saying that, he suddenly turned around and shouted toward the sky:

"Lord Mars! The humans are bullying our Elf Clan!"

Just as he finished speaking, a presence far more terrifying than Red Archbishop Morris descended upon the dock, its vastness and power causing even the Legendary Archbishop to change expressions slightly.

"Begone, the Elf Forest does not welcome ill-intentioned guests."

A distant and indifferent voice came from the sky, resonating in everyone’s hearts.

The Red Archbishop’s expression was solemn.

"Half... God..."

He murmured in disbelief.

Then, he took a deep look at Gray Castle City, frowned at the utterly collapsed Count Baier who had lost control under the pressure, and said to the remaining knights:

"Take him, we’re leaving."

With that, he boarded the Imperial flagship without looking back.

The knights helped up Count Baier and followed the Red Archbishop onto the ship, which raised its sails again and slowly left the harbor.

Without any hesitation, even a bit embarrassed.

"Goodbye then!"

Demacia shouted gleefully, cupping his hands around his mouth, and laughed boisterously.

Several players from Heart of Nature took a step forward, pulling out a pouch of salt powder and scattering it into the air...

It’s for warding off evil.

Sofia:...

After laughing for a while, Demacia turned back, chuckled, and said:

"Hehehe, fortunately, Brother Mu invited Lord Mars to Gray Castle as a guest today, haha... Did you see the expression of that Red Archbishop earlier? I bet he was startled by Lord Mars’s pressure, haha! They ran quite fast!"

However, when he saw the girl’s complex gaze directed at the receding Human Fleet, he quickly explained:

"Don’t feel pressured, they weren’t actually here to form an alliance; it was too obvious. Who does that? Besides, I’ve got inside info that the Church and the nobles are in conflict on the Human Empire’s side. It seems the nobles want to use us to eliminate the Evil God, but the Church disagrees..."

"Since there’s a Red Archbishop, it’s likely the Church’s side that came, and their real intention was to stir things up."

"But even if the Human Nobles came asking for help, you can’t trust them. Players in the Imperial Expedition Army were killed by the Evil God, and none received any compensation... Apparently, it was something promised by the Nobles’ Council!"

"So, they’re not sincerely forming an alliance, not even slightly!"

Demacia shook his head and said.

Sofia looked at him complexly, nodded, and said:

"I know."

"You know?"

Demacia was astonished.

The girl nodded:

"It’s just a farce, I’m not foolish... Human nobles have never regarded other races as allies, only in terms of enslavement, control, and their hypocritical, self-righteous friendliness."

After speaking, she sighed again:

"Still, even though it’s a farce, I never expected the Empire to have fallen to such a degree... Truly as Teacher Dongdong said, the Empire’s society has already been torn apart, whether between the commoners and the nobles, or between the nobles and the church..."

"A divided society, rampant with Evil Gods, I can’t imagine what kind of environment the people of Fengye Territory are living in now..."

After saying that, Sofia turned her head, wanting to find the figure of Wind, but noticed that the mysterious Elf Chosen One had disappeared at some point.

Seeing her slightly disappointed expression, Demacia curiously asked:

"Who are you looking for?"

"Lord Wind."
