Chapter 680: Bottomless pit

"World Tree Game ( to find the latest chapter!
When Earl Mis came to the wall of Morningstar City accompanied by his guards, the Maple Leaf Rebels in the distance had disappeared on the horizon.
They seemed to be walking in a hurry. Some of the baggage on the ground was not completely taken away. They were only burned in a fire, and there were burning marks everywhere in the camp.
Those trebuchets that had not yet been assembled were also destroyed one by one, and Earl Mis even saw the siege towers that had been set up by the rebels, which had been worrying him over the past few days...
The army besieging Morningstar City is more than 30,000, including the legendary King Otto, and there are many terrifying and extraordinary powerhouses.
This is a terrifying force for Morningstar City, which has only a few thousand defenders, and the strongest is only a golden rank.
If it weren't for the magical defense barrier, I'm afraid the city would have been broken long ago.
But even so, under the siege of the rebels, the entire Morningstar City was crumbling, and it would be sooner or later that the city would be broken without reinforcements.
And even if the reinforcements of the Duke of Borencia arrived, it would at best ease the situation and give the defenders in the city a chance to evacuate.
After all... Behind the opponent is a terrifying evil who may be shot at any time.
If the entire army is wiped out like last time, the empire is definitely not willing to come a second time, so it will definitely not rush to a decisive battle with the rebels.
This is simply an unsolvable problem...
This is the case in the transcendental world. On weekdays, transcendent mythical beings check and balance each other, and the secular world has the opportunity to resolve disputes according to the methods of the secular world.
However... once there is a myth that breaks the rules and is unconstrained and personally takes action on ordinary people, then... people will realize that under the myth, all are ants.
These earls of Mis understood, and he believed that the rebels also understood.
For the rebels, there are myths behind their backs that it will be a matter of time before Morningstar City is captured, and all kinds of preparations for the city have already been prepared.
However, it was in this situation that they unexpectedly withdrew their troops.
"Maple Leaf collar! Something must have happened to Maple Leaf collar!"
Count Mies judged.
Reminiscent of some rumors that he had heard before, a thought came to him inexplicably:
Could it be... the long ears of the Fairy Forest did it?
He raised his head subconsciously and looked to the southeast, with a look of expectation, a trace of anxiety, a trace of doubt...
If there is any force that can stop the evil of the maple leaf collar at this time... then all he can think of is the true walking on the ground in the forest of the spirits.
"Hurry up and send a scout! Keep up with the rebels and find a way to investigate why they retreated!"
Count Mies ordered the guards around him.
...
It was noon the next day when Earl Mis knew the reason for the rebels' retreat.
And the army of the Duke of Borencia came to support the city with the returning scouts.
The army entered the city, and the eager Earl Mis finally met the Duke of Borencia himself as the marshal, a middle-aged gentleman with gray hair and a powerful legendary fighter.
"What about the rebels? Your Excellency, didn't you mean that they have already besieged the city? Why did they retreat?"
In the temporary city lord's mansion of Morningstar City, the Duke of Borencia frowned slightly looking at the agitated Count Mies.
"It's the elves! Lord Duke, the elves have launched an attack on Maple Leaf Leader! According to the scouts, they have already breached the city of Orgs yesterday, so the rebels have returned to help!"
Count Mies was a little excited, and replied with some restraint and respectfulness.
The excitement is naturally because the elves are participating in this war after all, and the participation of the elves means the participation of the goddess of life.
If the goddess of life participates, round up, that is this war... it is very likely to be won!
As for being cautious and respectful...
Although the two nobles are not vassals, they are both lords loyal to the emperor, but one is an earl and the other is a duke of elector. After all, there is a big difference in title.
Not to mention that the Duke of Borencia is still a powerful legendary professional, and the strong... will be respected everywhere.
Of course, these are all the minutiae, and the reason for the excitement of the Earl of Mis, the Duke of Borencia can naturally think of.
"Elves? Have the councils finally convinced the church to ally with the Elves Forest again? Why didn't they notify me?"
He was taken aback for a moment.
Earl Mis was also stunned.
Then he asked suspiciously:
"Master Duke, don't you know the news that the elves have participated in the war?"
"How would I know? If I knew, would I still ask you?"
The Duke of Borencia said silently.
After speaking, he walked to the map in the lobby again, and while looking at the map of the western collar and the maple leaf collar, he gradually frowned:
"Impossible... If the elves captured Orgs City yesterday, then they should have waged a war long ago. After all, Orgs City has the Fortress of Folzer... Even if the information is transmitted slowly, It is also impossible for us to get no news."
With that, he looked at Earl Mis again:
"Your Excellency, have you found more detailed information?"
Count Mies said excitedly:
"This is another piece of news I want to tell you! It is said that... the elves succeeded in breaking the Fortress of Folzer in less than a day, and took the city of Orgs. This is why the rebels are urgent. Back to help."
"Master Duke! I think... the elves may have sent legendary powerhouses, or even mythological powerhouses. It was not rumored before that those guys sent by the church to the elven forest met demigods? Otherwise? , The city will never be breached so quickly!"
Seeing the excited expression of Earl Mies, the Duke of Borencia gave a soft voice and nodded:
"It is possible...it is said that the of dusk and sunset is a newly resurrected evil god. The beliefs are almost messed up. It is estimated that it is difficult to activate the magic defensive barrier. The maple leaf collar does not have a legendary mage, and the defender would not have the advantage.
"Otto brought out his main force, and it is normal to be caught off guard."
Affirmed by the Duke, Earl Mis was even more excited:
"Yes! I think so too!"
Then, he said excitedly:
"Master Duke! This is an opportunity! Now that the elves have joined the war, let us take the opportunity to counterattack! With the elves participating in the war, coupled with our cooperation, we will be able to quickly regain lost ground and finally defeat the evil god's army!"
The Duke of Mies looked forward to it.
However, after listening to his words, the Duke of Borencia's reaction was a little cold, and he didn't seem to be interested in it.
"My Lord Duke?"
Count Mies called again.
The Duke of Borencia glanced at him and smiled:
"What's the hurry? The lost ground will always be recovered. Since the elves have participated in the war, then we can't participate rashly."
"Why? Lord Duke, are you watching the leaders of the empire continue to be oppressed by the evil god?"
Count Mies said eagerly.
The rebels invaded the Western Territory, and one-third of his territory has fallen.
Now seeing the opportunity for recovery, Earl Mies naturally wants to seize it, and the sooner the better.
However, the Duke of Borencia only glanced at him:
"Why? Don't most of your vassal nobles have already withdrawn? And the rest... are just some ignorant civilians. It doesn't matter if some died, it's okay to be oppressed. In this case, when the territory is restored, You can also feel our kindness...you can even have an excuse to deprive those who have fled to the nobility of the title."
"Don't worry, it should be your territory, or yours. I am not interested in the poor western collar."
Hearing what he said, Earl Mis opened his mouth, speechless.
"Then... When do you plan to counterattack?"
He asked again.
The Duke of Borencia squinted his eyes slightly. He glanced at the location of the Fairy Forest on the map, chuckled lightly, and said:
"No hurry, let the elves fight with the rebels for a while, just to explore the bottom of the elves."
"In the past few years, the Forest of the Elves has developed too fast. Even if we are far from the west in Borencia, we have long heard that some novel and small items produced by the Forest of the Elves have gradually become popular in Mania. Look down."
"This is an opportunity, not only to let us see the strength of the elves, but also to consume their power by relying on the rebels. After all...the alien race is the alien race after all."
"When the rebels and the elves are both defeated, and the maple leaf leader and the goddess of life are separated, we can take the opportunity to regain the territory, isn't it better?"
"At that time... it is estimated that the remaining nobles of the Maple Leaf Collar will be almost cleansed, and most of those who fled to you have lost their foundation. Isn't this the opportunity for us combatants to gain more territory by virtue of combat exploits?"
"Hey, Maple Leaf collar, but very rich."
Earl Mies was stunned, then nodded in surprise:
"Or you want to be comprehensive!"
...
The two imperial nobles dreamed of regaining the share of the spoils behind the maple leaf collar, and on the other side, the former frontier man, now the red maple king Otto, also led his army back to the western territorial border after marching quickly.
The western collar and the maple leaf collar are handed over, and Augs goes down.
Otto von Cappadocia stood on the hill, squinting his eyes slightly while looking at a piece of paper filled with declarations in common language.
In front of him, another scout was reporting respectfully:
"Your Majesty, according to reliable sources, the elves have organized an army of 200,000. After they captured Orgs City, they have divided into three groups and headed for the other three cities closest to the city of Orgs. ."
Hearing this, Otto's expression did not change, but the face of a tall and thin nobleman behind him changed:
"A city nearby? Wait, how about Zeroland?"
The scout hesitated and replied:
"Zeroland is one of the targets of the elves, and it is said that it is still the direction of the main force."
Hearing this answer, the tall and thin noble's face paled.
He looked at Otto, King of Red Maple, and said anxiously:
"Your Majesty! Don't let the elves take Zeroland! The terrain of Zeroland is dangerous! If it is breached, the Maple Leaf Collar will be over!"
Otto glanced at him lightly and said coldly:
"Zeroland is important, isn't Augs City not important?"
The tall and thin noble suffocated slightly.
Otto no longer looked at him, but dropped the paper in his hand to the ground, his voice slightly disdainful:
"Carl, take a look, you are far behind your half-sister."
The tall and thin nobleman was stunned, and then subconsciously picked up the piece of paper, and when he finished reading the declaration on the piece of paper, his expression quickly became grim and gritted his teeth:
"Sophia! This bitch! She turned out to be the leader of the elves!"
Otto did not continue to talk to him.
He glanced at the city of Augus, where the red flag was erected on the wall in the distance, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes:
"Is it a mysterious sky fortress... Hehe, the long ears of these fairy forests will really toss some new tricks."
After speaking, he looked at the scout again:
"What is the status of Augs City?"
The scout replied respectfully:
"Your Majesty, there are about 5,000 elves in the city who are responsible for guarding the city. The average strength should be stronger than our fighters, but there should be no high-level professionals."
"Is the news reliable?"
"Reliable. We caught several people who went out of the city and asked them separately."
After getting an answer, King Otto did not make any response, and the tall and thin noble named Carl heard the number of troops stationed, and he was immediately surprised:
"Your Majesty! There are only five thousand people! And there are no high-level professionals! Then can we easily recover the city?"
Otto gave him a cold look~EbookFREE.me~ and spit out a word:
"silly!"
The tall and thin nobleman closed his mouth instantly, his face pale.
Otto snorted and continued to look at the scout:
"Are there any news from the temple in the city of Augus? Are there any living believers preaching?"
The scout continued:
"Yes, it is said that the elves have enshrined the goddess of life. At the same time, the city has also begun to promote the beliefs of the goddess of life. While propagating them, they also distributed various materials to the citizens, and even the family properties of the nobles in the city of Orgus. It is distributed to the poor and poor. It is said that a lot of people in the city have converted..."
Hearing this, Otto took a deep breath:
"Then it should be that the magical defense barrier has been repaired, and the teleportation array has been built."
As he said, he smiled coldly:
"Able to come back from the dead, and build a defensive barrier, it is more likely to be teleported again and again, ha ha, five thousand people...Where is five thousand people, this is simply a bottomless pit!"
"They say that Anos is unscrupulous, but I think the one in the Fairy Forest is not much worse!"
After speaking, he turned around and looked at the tall and thin nobleman who was still a little nervous:
"Call the high priest here."
Following Otto's order, in a short while, a middle-aged man in a gray robe was called in front of him.
However, the current highest-ranking priest in the Twilight and Sunset Church, when facing Otto, was trembling and honest, completely unlike a church leader.
Otto glanced at him casually and said:
"High priest, you can arrange sacrifices, communicate with Anos, and ask him to take action."
