Chapter 240: Eve's doubts

  The orcs were repelled.
   Seeing the army of orcs retreating slowly like a tide, the saint of nature Alice also breathed a sigh of relief.
   Then, she hurriedly joined the Druid players and began to rescue other players who were injured in the defensive battle.
  More than a thousand orcs were killed in battle, but there were many casualties among players.
  The players who participated in the defensive missions were generally of low level. Even with the protection of the city wall, nearly 500 players returned to the World Tree.
  As for the number of injured players, there are more than 1,000.
   But compared to half-orcs, this loss is already considered small.
  Not to mention that those dead players also rushed back through the teleportation circle in the first time after they were resurrected.
  Therefore, in fact, the defense power of the entire castle has not been reduced much.
  If you really want to say, the only losses are the fortifications and the city walls that were destroyed by the Orcs and the Behemoth in the previous battle.
  And after the players cheered, they also began to clean the battlefield.
Under the coordination of the two legion chiefs, some players began to gather the equipment dropped by the orcs on the city wall; some players began to repair the wall that was destroyed in the battle; even more players obtained the permission of the Favored Zero and opened the city The door, came under the city wall to gather the equipment left after the orcs army retreated...
  It is also weird to say, the battle was horribly fought, and both sides almost desperately. However, after the battle, there was no corpse on the battlefield, only a place of blood and equipment...
  This weird situation makes the indigenous elves see eyelids jump, but the players have long been used to it, and they don't care as if there is nothing wrong.
  As the players cleaned, for a while, the city walls became lively again.
  However, a big victory was won. At this moment, the atmosphere in the Black Dragon Castle was much easier than before the war.
  Even...the players are faintly agitated.
  More than a thousand dead orcs have brought players benefits far exceeding the players’ losses.
  And tasted the sweetness of the big plot, players can't wait to wait for the next round of the Orcs' siege.
  "The experience points of these half-orcs are so high! I just killed a warrior together with other people, and directly got 5000 experience points!"
  An 11-level three-test player looked at his experience column excitedly and said.
   "Hey, it's only 5000? I rushed forward. Although I died once, I contributed more than 200 in total, which directly gained more than 30,000 experience! This half-orc has higher experience points than human mercenaries!"
  Another Meat Shield Warrior player proudly raised his machete.
   "But you died once! Isn't it a loss?"
   "Hey, I'm from the Mengmeng Committee. The taunting fighter of our guild will contribute to the reimbursement if he died in a big plot mission."
   "I rub...Envy!"
  "……"
  However, there are still many players who simply like the feeling of just fighting:
   "Excitement! This is how war should feel. The previous rpg games are weak!"
   "Have fun! This is much more fun than fighting with Warcraft!"
   "Really...just after a while, they felt a little touch, and they retreated! What a pity..."
  The players tasted the sweetness, their fighting spirit was completely mobilized, and when they looked at the orcs in the distance again, their eyes had completely changed:
   "Should they not stop coming?"
   "No hurry, there must be the next wave of siege! How many people have they lost? I will definitely not give up."
   "Haha! If these half-orcs are eliminated, how many experience points does this have!"
   "Hey, it's not a problem to be promoted to the black iron mid-position!"
   "Haha! I just told the friends on the ambushing side of our battle results, they are almost envious."
   "Hey hey, who told them not to defend the city?"
  The players are very happy and their morale is high.
  However, the orcs who retired were very decadent and awkward.
  Imsh, the Lionheart King, withdrew less than nine thousand half-orcs from the castle's range, his face was very ugly:
   "To the effect... I didn't expect the elves to gather such a powerful force."
  He originally thought that with 10,000 troops and five more behemoths, it would be easy to attack the black dragon castle, but he did not expect to chew on the bones...
   "It seems... still to ask for the power of God the Father."
  Imsh the Lionheart King clenched his fists.
  If the elves were to be taken down by mundane power alone, then he would definitely please the true greatly, but now it seems...the Totem Guardian must be summoned.
  The favored ones of the elves have appeared, and the defense of the castle is very strong, and it seems that there are supernatural blessing...
  If only half-orcs take their lives to fill it, it will suffer a heavy loss!
   Thinking of this, the Lionheart King Imsh took a deep breath and ordered to the left and right:
   "Invite the high priest..."
  A moment later, the chief high priest of the orcs, accompanied by two silver priests, came to the Lionheart King Imsh.
   "My lord, it seems that your attack is not going well."
  The chief high priest with a bone crown and oil paint on his face smiled slightly.
  And in her hand, she still held a skull necklace that was constantly shining.
  Only at this moment, the red on the necklace seems to be deeper...
  Imsh, the Lionheart King, squinted his eyes, and took a deep look at the necklace in her hand, which seemed very jealous.
   seemed to sense his gaze, the high priest touched the necklace in his hand and laughed:
  "My lord, rest assured, I won't use this until the last minute."
  The Lion Heart King was silent.
  A moment later, he glanced at the high priest complicatedly, and slowly said:
  "I underestimated the power of the elves, high priest, I decided to call the Totem Guardian directly. Are you ready to call the altar?"
  Listening to the Lionheart King’s words, the chief high priest nodded, with a fanatical expression:
"of course!"
  "If you wish, we can always ask for the power of God the Father!"
  ……
  The players' battlefield is cleaned very quickly.
  There are no corpses, just picking up equipment, and this is what players do best.
   Soon, the ground under the city wall was completely empty. The players did not even let go of the clothes on the half-orcs, they all captured them and took them back...
  The destroyed fortifications on the city wall are also being repaired in an orderly manner.
  Everyone is looking forward to the next attack of the Orcs.
  However, Eve’s expression on the city wall is a bit solemn...
   "Just...something is competing with me for life force."
  A similar situation reappeared after several deaths of Demacia.
  In the battle just now, nearly half of the life force in the half-orcs who died was not absorbed by Eve's war sacrifice!
  Especially those half-orcs who died outside the city wall~EbookFREE.me~Even if the skill triggered the war sacrifice, Eve didn't get much vitality, but seemed to have evaporated out of thin air.
  Fortunately, 100% of the vitality of the players who died was recovered, and the life force of the orcs who died on the wall was almost completely received by Eve.
   However, on the whole, more than a thousand orcs who died in battle still have about one third of their vitality missing.
  Even though in general, Eve still made a profit, but she made less than she expected.
  That is a loss.
"It's a power similar to sacrifice! But...it shouldn't be a true god, nor an evil god, because the other party's absorption of life power seems to be just a mechanism, or instinct, more like some kind of sacrifice, or... an artifact! "
   "I'm afraid... it's the thing I sensed before!"
   "This ability to absorb vitality is very secretive. If it weren't for me to control the war sacrifice and completely control the life priesthood, I wouldn't notice it at all!"
   "What the are the orcs doing?"
   "It seems, I have to be more careful..."
  And just as Eve was thinking about it, suddenly... she moved in her heart and sensed a faint change in the box of the dead stored in the kingdom of God.
  Hela, the of death, the news is back.
