Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 982 - 685: Finn_2

However, this time the young man was full of energy and faith!

The war was not over.

And soon, Augus City welcomed a counterattack from the Red Maple Kingdom army.

Tens of thousands of troops besieged the city, and the battle broke out again.

But what shocked and angered Finn was that he actually saw familiar figures from his home village on the battlefield...

Those ordinary villagers, they... they were threatened by the nobility of the Red Maple Kingdom with a Blood Covenant, forcing them to participate in the siege as cannon fodder to protect their family’s lives!

Looking at Hans Ye Ye’s expression of sorrow and despair as he mourned his granddaughter’s death and worried about his grandson’s safety, looking at other villagers’ eyes filled with relief at death, Finn’s heart burned with rage.

"Elf Lord, please save everyone!"

He pleaded with the Elf Commander, the handsome and extraordinary Elf Ranger (Hunter).

"To nullify the Blood Covenant, there is only one in the Elf Forest, and that is the life Goddess, Eve."

"So... we can only pray to the Goddess, hoping to get a response from her."

The elf sighed.

Goddess!

Pray to the Goddess!

A glimmer of hope flashed in Finn’s eyes.

He couldn’t bear to watch those familiar faces die in this way; he wanted to save everyone.

The young man did not hesitate, immediately knelt toward the direction of the temple, and began to pray softly:

"Merciful and great Eve, please save Grandpa Hans and them..."

Augus City was large.

The militiamen who chose to defend the city with the elves, apart from some citizens, mostly came from young people conscripted from nearby villages and towns.

They also saw familiar figures among the attacking crowd, experiencing shock followed by intense anger, and after the anger, confusion and bewilderment like Finn. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

As Finn prayed, soon people joined him, starting to sincerely pray toward the temple.

For a moment, everywhere on the city walls, there were figures praying towards the temple, even citizens within the city, after knowing the news, fell silent and spontaneously participated in the prayer.

The nobles of Augus City had long fled, died, or been punished. Now, who wasn’t a commoner living in the city, and who didn’t have relatives outside the city?

Feeling a shared tragedy, upholding hope for the life Goddess, more and more people joined the praying ranks.

Suddenly, a large number of commoners knelt down, and the sound of prayer echoed throughout the city, forming a stark contrast to the shouts of killing on the city walls.

Seeing this scene, the elves’ eyes gradually became complicated. The leading Elf Commander sighed and said:

"Everyone, stop attacking. Once they’re on the wall, just knock them out. Those surrounding us are not our enemies, but potentially future believers." (Elf language)

Upon hearing his words, the elves fighting on the city walls had varying expressions.

Some nodded in agreement, switching their blades to the back, while others sighed, beginning to prepare control and hypnosis-type magic...

Of course, not all agreed:

"President Can! There’s no need to be so sensitive, right? It’s just a game." (Elf language)

The Elf Commander glanced at the speaking elf:

"A new player from the second test, right?" (Elf language)

The opposing elf nodded:

"So what?" (Elf language)

The Elf Commander sneered:

"Alright, even if it’s just a game, even being a bit utilitarian, how much experience can these people give you? Not even comparable to goblins, right? If they become believers or even helpers in the future, how much support could they bring you?" (Elf language)

"This account, since you second test players haven’t adapted to the game mode of ’Elf Kingdom’ away from other virtual games, figure it out yourselves!" (Elf language)

The opposing elf was dumbfounded.

Then, after a moment of silence, he also obediently switched his blade to the back.

Finn could not understand the elves’ conversation.

However, many people, including him, noticed the elves had changed their way of fighting.

Looking at these beautiful creatures’ choices, everyone’s eyes rose with a trace of gratitude and respect.

Such benevolent and kind beings!

Only the life Goddess could have such clansmen, right?

People felt touched, kneeling again towards the temple and praying sincerely.

Finn continued to pray, continued to prostrate.

He had never before desired a response from the Divine as much as he did now.

Nor had he ever knelt and prayed so devoutly.

The murmuring prayers gathered into a piece, resonating across the city, even faintly contending with the shouts on the city walls...

As people prayed, suddenly, from the city’s center, golden power soared high, and a gentle, warm energy rapidly spread...

Finn bewilderedly raised his head and was shocked to see a golden brilliance burst from the direction of the temple. Tiny dreamlike golden photons began to fly throughout the city.

The photons were like life, yet like drifting snowflakes, they descended gently from the sky, landing on the people.

At that moment, Finn only felt a warm power spreading to his limbs, the exhaustion in his body seemed to vanish instantly, even the anxiety and unease inexplicably calmed.

"A Divine Miracle...! This... this is a Divine Miracle!"

"The Goddess has responded to us! This must be the response from the Goddess!"

"Praise life! Praise nature! Praise the great Eve Goddess!"

The praying people exclaimed excitedly.

The elves’ eyes were filled with surprise, too, but soon turned to excitement:

"Whoa! It really is the Goddess’s power!" (Elf language)

"Wow! So if we sincerely pray collectively, it really can draw the Goddess’s attention?!" (Elf language)

Watching the golden photons fluttering across the sky, Finn was emotionally moved.

His gaze followed the dancing photons, becoming more devout with his eyes.

And when he saw those photons fall on Grandpa Hans, and the mark symbolizing the Blood Covenant on Hans Ye Ye’s wrist gradually fade and ultimately disappear... he couldn’t help but exclaim:

"The Blood Covenant... the Blood Covenant has disappeared!"

Attracted by Finn’s voice, everyone quickly focused on those villagers knocked out and controlled by the elves.

"Really... it really disappeared!"

"Goddess! This is Eve Goddess hearing our prayers!"

"Great and merciful Eve, thank you for your gift, thank you for your gift!"

People were extremely excited, looking towards the temple with fervent expressions, some even bringing tears to their eyes.

However, just then, the entire sky suddenly darkened slightly, and a sense of heart-pounding fear rose in everyone’s heart.

Finn instinctively looked up at the sky, seeing thick clouds gathering at some unknown time.

The clouds continuously rolled, with purple light flashing from lightning, faintly accompanied by thunder.

Suddenly, the clouds parted, and a towering giant appeared in the sky.

Its gaze was cold, ruthless, brutal, and chaotic.

Seeing that terrifying giant, Finn’s face instantly turned pale, and he collapsed to the ground.

The figure matched exactly the idol he was previously forced to worship under threat from Red Maple Kingdom’s professional soldiers...

"The... the Sunset Evil God..."

He trembled and murmured.

The clouds continued to roll as the giant extended its palm, pressing down toward the ground.

In an instant, the entire world was shrouded by a huge shadow.

Looking at the giant hand drawing closer, Finn’s face turned ashen, a fear greater than ever rising in his heart.

At that moment, he recalled the legend of the Imperial Army’s complete annihilation...

However, just as the hand was about to fall on the temporary Life Temple in the city, a golden sword light suddenly flashed from the void, striking the palm!
