Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 975 - 681: Anos
"Isn’t it better? You can sacrifice infinitely."
The giant face said indifferently.
Otto:...
Looking at his speechless expression, the giant face mockingly said:
"Alright, isn’t it just that you can’t win and want me to take action again? Just say it directly, why bother beating around the bush."
"However, since the elves have gotten involved, the successor of Yggdrasil you mentioned will also likely join, right?"
Hearing the giant face’s words, Otto adjusted his expression and said solemnly:
"If nothing unexpected happens, it seems so. When you truly act, you will probably encounter the one from the Elf Forest."
The giant face nodded slightly, and his blurry eyes moved slightly:
"It’s called Eve, right? Inherited all the divine offices of Yggdrasil?"
"That’s right, it’s said an elf sealed themselves as a god through faith on the half-plane and also used their divine office power to purify all the half-plane’s half-blooded humans into elves. It’s rumored that the elves’ varied personalities stem from this..."
Otto explained.
After hearing him, the giant face squinted his eyes:
"Then it’s the True God of Faith."
"Heh... I’ve recently studied faith power, and I must say, it’s indeed a fascinating skill, allowing ordinary people to step into mythical rank, but... it’s still somewhat lacking."
"At most, it’s just accumulating more divine power, but when faced with powerful ancient gods, it will ultimately fall!" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Seeing the giant face’s disdainful expression, Otto hurriedly reminded:
"Lord Anos, this Eve Goddess is quite extraordinary. Though she is a newborn True God of Faith, she easily slew a god at the peak of weak divine power!"
"Although that was also a True God of Faith, it speaks to the strength of the Goddess of Life. According to my assessment, her power may have reached weak or even close to medium divine power..."
Glancing at Otto’s serious expression, the giant face was slightly surprised:
"You seem to know this quite well."
"After all... becoming mythical is also one of my goals. The progenitor’s divine office doesn’t require faith but demands a lot of death and slaughter, and you also need to expand your faith through war and fear, isn’t that the foundation of our cooperation?"
Otto said with a smile.
The giant face gave him a cold look and said indifferently:
"Otto, sometimes... being too smart isn’t always good."
Then, he squinted his eyes again:
"Eve, huh? I really want to meet her; I wonder who is stronger, her or the Dragon Gods..."
"The debt of Yggdrasil sealing me, let’s have her repay it."
After speaking, the giant face looked at Otto again:
"Alright, I’m aware of it now. I’ll act when necessary."
"Isn’t it the city in front? Hmm... I can sense there are no fewer than five thousand beings with extremely rich life force inside!"
The giant face looked towards Augus City, a trace of ferocity in his eyes.
Seeing the other’s brutal expression tinged with a bit of greed, Otto hesitated for a moment and continued:
"Lord Anos, it’s not just here. The Elf Clan claims to have dispatched a two hundred thousand-strong army this time and is now attacking several nearby cities. Without your assistance there, I’m afraid they can’t be defended either."
Hearing this, the giant face gave Otto a mocking glance:
"Otto, have you made me into your instrument of war?"
"No, it’s just because only you can save the dire situation, and don’t you need to devour more souls too?"
Otto showed much more reverence this time.
The giant face snorted:
"You do know how to speak, don’t you? Speak more if you can..."
After speaking, he squinted his eyes:
"No rush, let’s deal with this city first. I want to probe the depths of Eve. The remaining cities, we can reclaim after they’ve fallen. We can forcibly change the faith if needed. With me here, what are you afraid of?"
"If we can seize the power of the Goddess of Life through this war, I think... I can achieve my goal faster, and your army will become unmatched across the continent!"
Otto sighed:
"It’s just three years. According to the secret intelligence I’ve received from the Eternal Church, after three years, the whole world will open up, and all True Gods will descend. Then... everything I’ve done will be in vain."
"Three years? It’s enough. Once you become mythical, you won’t care about these worldly matters. You’re not like those True Gods of Faith who take shortcuts!"
The giant face snorted.
"Alright, I need to continue digesting the power of those angels. As usual, pay attention to the Divine Artifact I’ve given you. When the battle intensifies and there’s enough life and soul power to support my arrival, just summon me..."
After speaking, the giant face turned into a purplish-black mist, disappearing slowly into the air, and the terrifying pressure in the tent gradually faded...
Leaving behind only the blood-stained array and Red Maple King Otto standing beside it.
Otto put away the smile on his face and looked at the teleportation array with some inquisitiveness:
"Titan King... hmm?"
He was silent for a while before leaving the tent, gathering his trusted aides and generals:
"Send the word, prepare to besiege the city."
...
Augus City, Folzer Fortress.
This castle occupied by players has become a base for them, while the guild members who volunteered stayed to defend the castle.
Li Mu and others have already left, Sofia also went with the army to Zelolan, with All-Star Guild Alliance’s upper echelon responsible for command, temporarily led by All-Star Acan as the City Lord.
Of the five thousand people, most are players from the second open beta.
Among the participating players, their war experience is lacking, so they easily fail during battles. Thus, this setup with a teleportation array and divine arts defense for city defense tasks is most suitable for them.
This is their first time participating in a large-scale war mission and also their first time participating in a city defense mission, so every one of them is quite excited.
Including Ye Ye and Nai Nai, who chose to stay.
"Is that the siege engine being built by the human army? Turns out it’s really made from materials on-site... Will they start besieging soon?"
On the castle’s tall walls, Nai Nai looked at the army outside the walls, a hint of excitement in his expression.
"Not as impressive as when our player army sets out; feels like there are fewer people."
Ye Ye said beside him.
"Heh, it’s quite a lot! The guild just caught some tongues, and it looks like there’s nearly thirty thousand of them, enough for us to fight."
Facing Gale, who was fiddling with a ballista, laughed.
The ballista was found by players in a still partially intact warehouse in the castle, perfect for defending the city and suitable for shooter players to attach skills.
"Will there be high-level professionals? What if there are high-level ones? We don’t seem to have high-level NPCs..."
Looking at the distant army, Ye Ye was a bit worried.
"What is there to fear? There’s the Goddess’s divine arts defensive barrier, even legendary NPCs won’t get anywhere! If things really get tight, don’t we have the teleportation array? Alice, Serenadil, Samir, Rose, even the boss lady, whoever we want, it’s just a word away, right? If the boss lady comes, we’ve surely won!"
Facing Gale wiped his face and said.
"Boss lady?"
The two newcomers were curious.
"Heh, you probably haven’t seen her yet, Divine Favored Zero, it’s an NPC who can summon the Goddess."
"Oh... a big shot!"
"Indeed, indeed."
The players chatted idly.
And just in their conversation, suddenly... a long horn sounded.
Facing Gale stiffened slightly, looking at the Red Maple Kingdom Army outside the city.
Only to see countless gray figures suddenly start moving slowly.
"The horn has sounded, the war... is about to begin."
He clenched his fist, saying with some excitement.
