Chapter 1401: Elf Council

Many Aili creatures gathered in front of a huge tree, their eyes were either pious or reverently looking at this giant tree that has experienced weather and frost.
Pilgrims once gathered here to admire the wonders of this world. At this time, here is their last hope.
"Jenny, I didn't think you would really dare to set foot in this holy land!"
In the center of the venue, a female elf with a dark green dress and a cold face stopped the witch in white from afar and asked in a low voice.
Even if she lowered her voice, her actions still attracted the attention of many creatures around her.
"Stop, Hakashi Road."
An equally dressed male elf, Shen Sheng stopped her move.
"...Yes, Lord Yves."
Although unwilling, Hakashi Road still obeyed the order and put down the raised hand, but still glared at the witch in white.
"I heard about Fiat." The elf named Yves said slowly, "You shouldn't do this."
"I'm too lazy to argue with you." Jenny closed her eyes and said, "I just came to this ceremony."
Behind Jenny, Sotophie, who was slightly cramped, looked nervously at the slightly strange male elf in front of him, revealing complex eyes mixed with reverence and incomprehension.
"Yves..." Sodomie seemed to have something to say, but before she could say it, she was interrupted by another elf.
"If it weren't for the guardians of the jungle, they are all preparing for this ceremony, Jenny, you should have been punished for what you did." Hakashilu rebuked.
"I just did what I was supposed to do." Jenny opened her eyes and said slowly.
When several people were talking, the atmosphere in the field changed instantly, and the attention of all the creatures around was attracted by a special figure in front of the giant tree.
It was a handsome elf with long silver hair draped behind the emerald robe. When he appeared, almost all creatures' attention was attracted.
"The Elf King Marsia."
The surrounding creatures praised the elf's name loudly. Even the proud unicorn lowered its head at this moment.
The Elf King stretched out his hand and stroked the lines on the bark. After all the praises subsided, he said in a heavy tone:
"People of Eri, we have come to the most critical moment. The evil necromancer is constantly eroding our land, displacing countless creatures, and there is no way back home."
He raised his head slightly, looking at the huge trees beyond the horizon, his eyes were ethereal, and he seemed to be left behind. Only the frowning of his eyebrows indicated the distress in his heart.
"Unfortunately, our line of defense has been broken one after another. Countless innocent creatures died in this battle and even became the enemy's weapon against us. The Necromancer is dispatching troops and preparing to launch to the Holy Land of Turalion. The final attack."
Under his eloquent narration, many gathered here, and the creatures who participated in the ceremony recalled what they had seen and couldn't help sobbing.
"In order to protect our last holy place, I decided to violate the all-time prohibition and awaken the chief of the jungle guards, the sleeping wise Yuke. And this is also the purpose of my calling you here."
He turned around and looked at everyone in the field, his eyes swept across the many creatures one by one, without power and majesty, but full of pleading.
In the end, he stopped his gaze on a red-haired half-elf.
"The second seat of the guardian of the jungle, half-elf hero Gru, do you have any objection to awakening Yuk the Wise?"
"No objection. Marsia, you are a great elf, a jungle warrior unit, and will always remember your greatness." The red-haired half-elf replied in a deep voice, a trace of unbearable flashes in his eyes.
Marsiah nodded and moved her eyes to the other direction.
"The third seat, holy unicorn Larry, do you have any objections?"
"No objection... I just can't bear you..." a unicorn with a pure white light said softly, with a bit of choking in the words.
He nodded heavily and looked at a gloomy elf.
"Fourth seat, Elf hero Yves, do you have any objections?"
"I have objections."
Yves' words instantly attracted the attention of all creatures in the field, and even the unicorn who had just finished speaking could not help but glared at him.
On the side, Jenny's expression changed, and he whispered towards Yves not far away: "Are you crazy? The personal grievances between us should not affect the whole ceremony."
Yves glanced over her coldly, then looked at Marsia in the field, and said loudly: "The knowledge that Yuk the wise has acquired in his sleep is limited, and it is simply not enough for so many creatures to share."
"King Eri, I understand that you want to use this knowledge to enhance the strength of all the guardians of the jungle, but the fact is that in this way, the improvement of each creature is very small, and it is not effective at all." Yves narrowed his eyes and said.
"It seems you don't understand." Marsiah sighed.
"I fully understand what I am doing." Yves raised his hand and said solemnly, "In order to maximize the effectiveness of this ritual, I suggest that there are only the top ten jungle guards and those who are fighting against the necromancers. In the battle, only those creatures who have given credit are eligible to join this ceremony."
Yves' words immediately caused an uproar among the surrounding creatures. For a time, the surroundings were full of accusations against Yves.
It was Masaiah who signaled one after another, and this stopped the discussion of the surrounding creatures. He shook his head with a sad look in his eyes.
"Hero Yves, no matter how powerful an individual is, it cannot defeat those necromancers. To protect the last holy land, we must work together so that we can have a ray of life."
"You are wrong." Yves retorted with a sullen expression, "Weak creatures, even with Yuke's wisdom, cannot change anything. They will only die one by one in the hands of the Necromancer. Therefore, they are not qualified. Join this ceremony. The real decision of the battle will always be the top ten seats of the Guardians of the Forest."
"All the guardians of the jungle have contributed to the protection of Eri, and they have the right to join this ceremony." Marsiah persuaded.
"If you think that when the battle breaks out, fighting on the front line is equivalent to the usual contribution to maintaining the forest order, I have nothing to say." Yves said in a deep voice.
"Huh." An elf in a green suit snorted coldly. She is the ninth seat of the jungle guard, Kailin, the leader of the ranger and patrol. "What a truth, you are really annoying. Elves."
"I agree with Yves."
Before Kailin had finished speaking, there was a voice opposite to her.
"Me too. The contribution made by the court mage in the battle is not comparable to that of the patrolmen."
Marsiah looked at this scene in surprise. In a short moment, Eliza the Elf and the dwarf Malcam, who were the fifth and sixth seats of the guardians of the jungle, expressed their support for Yves. The palace mage organization has never dealt with it on weekdays, and I didn't expect to reach an agreement at this time.
"On behalf of the dragon of the Green Crown, I agree with Yves." A woman in a golden dress seconded.
Nearly half of the entire upper council in front of him agreed with Yves, and even Marsiah had to seriously consider Yves' suggestions.
"How can you make such a rude request?" the unicorn shining with silver light rebuked. "Gelu, think of a way to persuade Marsia."
However, facing the unicorn's reminder, Gru shook his head and sighed deeply.
Why didn't Gru understand that he could only rely on the top ten jungle guards to defeat the Necromancer, but he would not suggest that other creatures be expelled like Yves, but would respect Masiah. select.
"Great Elf King, it's time to give the order." With that, Yves had a pained look on his face, "I respect your courage to awaken Yuk the wise with your life. In order not to let all these sacrifices go in vain, and to destroy all the dead Master, please give your final order."
"I..." Marsiah's face turned pale, and she was speechless for a while.
"not like this!"
Hearing this sound, Jenny was shocked. She followed her reputation and saw her apprentice, not knowing when she came to Yves.
"All creatures are fighting to protect Eri. You can't deprive them of all their efforts just because they are weak." Sotofi retorted Yves' words.
Yves glanced at the silver-haired elf in front of him, then closed his eyes and said: "But the fact is that those creatures with poor strength will eventually become members of the Necromancer."
"They don't want to be like this either, they just want to live." Sotofi said hurriedly.
"When the battle just started, those necromancers did not control so many undead creatures. But they found a way to focus on our weak points, those weak creatures, and the animals in the forest." Fu said with a gloomy expression. "Sometimes I think, if there are not so many ordinary creatures in Eri, those necromancers will not be able to make the climate, let alone the current situation."
"You..." Yves' words caused an uproar in the field. Among them, the shining unicorn had a bigger opinion of him, "You are a member of the guardian of the jungle, don't go Thinking about how to protect Eri creatures, but full of complaints about those innocent creatures, how did you become the guardian of the jungle?"
Yves replied unceremoniously: "How did I become the guardian of the jungle? The necromancers who died in my hands are more than all of you killed combined. I have been there since the first day I became a hero. What feats did you make in the battle against the Necromancer?"
The unicorn Larry was speechless, and there was a dazzling flash of light on the sharp horns above her head. She had been completely enraged by Yves.
"Don't be like this..." Elf King Marsiah held his forehead with his hand, and said with some pain.
Seeing Marsiah showing this expression, the unicorn Larryl felt soft, and the light on his head gradually disappeared.
At this moment, Yves took the initiative to say: "It is my lifelong wish to destroy the necromancers. Give the order, the great king of elves, I will never let those necromancers come closer to the Holy Land of Turalion."
"You have deprived them of their last hope." Masiah stomped her feet and glanced across all the creatures in the field. "Without Yuk's wisdom, when the Necromancer strikes, perhaps the top ten jungle guardians can indeed Change the situation, but now how many other creatures you have expelled can survive?"
"I can't control them!" Yves angrily said, "Once the top ten jungle guards fail, is it possible for other creatures to survive? The evil necromancer, won't just let them go."
"As long as you can defeat the Necromancer, the sacrifice of those creatures is worth it." Yves' indifferent gaze swept across all the creatures in the field, and all the gazes that met him avoided.
Vaguely, a skeletal face appeared in front of Yves, with a wide jawbone, as if making some kind of mockery at him, and Yves would never forget this face.
At some unknown time, the phantom of the skeleton in front of him slowly dissipated, and Sotophie's face appeared in front of Yves' eyes. In a trance, Yves faced Sotophie.
"It's not like this..." Sotophie asked with a sigh, "Master Yves, why did you save me before?"
Yves opened his mouth, seeming to want to say something, and finally turned his gaze to the direction of the Elf King, and replied: "It was just a matter of effort, I had forgotten it a long time ago."
"No. You saved me because you didn't want to see innocent creatures die like this. As an elf, you still feel pain for other creatures, but you just don't want to admit it." Sodophie approached Yves and said.
"Pain can't change anything, but Yuke's wisdom can." Yves looked firmly at Sodophie, "I need this power to completely end the Necromancer."
"Really..." Sotophie showed a sorrowful smile, stopped persuading, and returned to Jenny alone.
Looking at Sotophie who was gradually leaving, Yves felt a pain for no reason, and even his will was shaken for a while.
Sodomie's face is very similar to the elf in Yves's memory, almost carved out of a mold, which is why the original Yves will take the initiative to rescue her.
However, at this moment, when recalling the face of the elf, what Yves saw in her eyes was not encouragement, not gratitude, but disappointment.
Yves's heart throbbed for a while, he had killed so many Necromancers, how could he still disappoint her?
The only possibility is that the culprit responsible for all this is that the holder of the artifact has not yet died. Yves’s act of expelling other jungle guards is precisely to gain stronger power to bring the undead The mage executed.
But is this really the case? Eve was puzzled and stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to catch something in front of him, but couldn't catch anything, everything flowed through his fingers.
When Yves was confused, in the face of this degree of disagreement, the Upper Erie Council also began to vote provisionally.
A total of four votes, including Yves, voted for the expulsion of other creatures around, leaving Yuk’s wisdom to the top ten seats of the guardian of the jungle. Gru and Monfila abstained, and the other three votes Opposed.
"Masiah, have you made a decision?" Seeing Yves not saying a word for a long time, Alisha, who was the fifth seat, took the initiative to ask the Elf King.
Marsia sighed: "I will not go against the will of the majority of the members of the parliament. Since you have made such a decision, then..."
"Wait a minute." Yves said, interrupting his words, "I changed my mind. All creatures can stay for this ceremony."
"What?" The guardians of the jungle who supported Yves looked at him in disbelief. This proposal was made by Yves first. Anyone could change his mind, but he could not.
"What..." Sodomy exclaimed, and also couldn't believe what she heard, looking at Yves with surprise in her eyes.
