Chapter 151 Taking Down the City of Emerald Leaves
It was already late at night.
By the time the command vehicle slowly drove into the City of Emerald Leaves, the battle was essentially over.
The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder and the acrid smell of burning. The city was in ruins, littered with the corpses of all sorts of monsters.
The soldiers of Daxia were quickly clearing out the remaining enemy forces in the surrounding area and establishing a perimeter.
The demon corpses, fearing infection and the potential for plague, were disinfected and then collected and incinerated.
The vehicle continued on its way and finally stopped under the giant tree in the center of the city.
The car door opened, and Elder Muyu and Fendona quickly stepped out.
The moment Elder Muyu saw the World Tree, he swayed and had to lean against the car door to steady himself.
Fendona covered her mouth, tears instantly welling up in her eyes and sliding down her cheeks.
The World Tree before them was completely different from what they remembered.
The once lush, verdant canopy is now reduced to bare branches and a few scattered leaves, rustling in the wind.
The massive tree trunk was covered with charred marks and ugly holes, and dark red moss spread like festering sores, exuding a putrid smell.
The whole tree exuded a lifeless and withered aura.
"Our World Tree..."
The accompanying elves all knelt down, weeping uncontrollably.
Lin Mo stood beside Fendona, looking at the ravaged giant tree, and could hardly imagine what it had gone through.
He reached out and gently patted Fendona's trembling shoulder.
A wood-type elf, suppressing its grief, reached out with trembling hands and gently pressed them against the rough bark of a tree.
He chanted ancient Elvish in a low voice, slowly infusing his natural power.
A moment later, a strange sight occurred.
On the tree trunk, the charred lines began to slowly wriggle, gradually converging into an aged, withered human face.
The face slowly opened its eyes, looking at the elves before it with a hint of confusion.
Its voice was dry and slow, creating a distinctive sound by shaking leaves, saying:
"Ah... little ones... you're back... that's wonderful..."
Seeing the elves, the World Tree seemed very happy, a look of relief appearing on its tired face.
"Long time no see, taste my fruit...they..."
The World Tree's voice suddenly stopped.
Its bark-covered face displayed a bewilderment akin to that of a child.
"Sorry... those bugs... made it all disappear..."
Its voice was full of regret.
"It's a real shame... I can't entertain you anymore..."
This scene gripped the hearts of everyone present.
Fendona could no longer hold back, threw herself against the tree trunk, and burst into tears.
Lin Mo, Long Zhan, Zhao Gang, and the others stood quietly to the side, their feelings complicated.
The World Tree is the home of the elves and plays a motherly role, watching over them as they grow from childhood to adulthood.
Seeing the children return, she immediately disregarded her own pain and still wanted to treat them to delicious food.
But.....
Long Zhan took out a cigarette, gave one to Zhao Gang, and silently smoked it.
After a long while, the elves finally wiped away their tears and began to provide the World Tree with the best treatment they could.
Lin Mo walked up to Elder Mu Yu, who had calmed down and finished casting the spell on the World Tree, and said:
"Elder Muyu, as agreed, we have taken over Emerald Leaf City."
"Now, you can send someone to take it."
Upon hearing this, Elder Muyu turned around, her wrinkled face smiling as she bowed deeply to Lin Mo.
"Thank you, Lord Linmo. The Elven race will never forget your kindness."
He straightened up and turned to give an order to an elf.
"Quickly! Ride the griffin back and report to Her Majesty the Queen!"
His voice trembled with excitement.
"The City of Verdant Leaves, we've taken it back!"
"yes!"
The elven knight immediately obeyed the order, mounted his griffin, and galloped towards the city of Avenor.
Long Zhan also issued new orders to the messengers around him.
"Order: The entire army shall establish a ring-shaped defensive line centered on the World Tree and closely monitor the surrounding movements."
"Wait for the main force of the Elven race to arrive and take over the City of Emerald Leaf."
.......
At the same moment that the Great Xia "New Hope" Legion launched its all-out attack on the City of Emerald Leaves, war had already broken out on the plains of Holy Radiance City, on the other side of the continent.
The black line on the horizon transformed into a surging inky wave, as endless demons swept in with an aura that seemed capable of devouring heaven and earth.
The sky was stained a murky gray-black by demonic energy, and the earth groaned in pain as it was trampled by billions of claws.
"roar!"
A superhuman roar erupted from the center of the demon army formation. The sound waves spread, and the soldiers of Holy Radiance City in the front row felt their minds shake violently, their fighting spirit instantly reduced by 30%.
A burly figure ascended into the sky, riding on demonic energy.
He was nearly four meters tall, covered in dark purple bone armor, and his tattered bat wings flapped, causing distorted ripples in the air.
The giant axe in his hand had a ghostly green flame burning on its blade.
Seventh-tier Demon Lord, Destroyer Malphite.
On the dragon's head, Kane stood expressionless, slowly raising his two-handed greatsword.
"Burning Heaven, our old friend has arrived."
"roar--!"
The giant dragon "Burning Sky" raised its head and spewed out a crimson dragon breath. The dragon's roar contained the dragon's might and the Demon Lord's pressure collided violently, dispelling the gloom that had been weighing on the soldiers' hearts.
Kane leaped down from the dragon's head, his toes barely touching the air as a loud popping sound rang out, and the man wielding the heavy sword vanished.
The next moment, he appeared in front of the Demon Lord Malphite.
No further words were spoken.
Kane unleashed a sword strike, the holy light on its blade solidifying into a tangible form.
Murphy grinned maliciously and raised his axe to block.
Swords and axes clashed, and a loud metallic clang rang out.
"Clang!!"
At the point of contact, a slight crease appeared in the space.
The violent shockwave exploded in a ring, blasting away both the demons and human soldiers below.
Murphy's massive body was sent flying hundreds of meters away by the impact, his arm holding the axe went numb, and the tiny blood vessels healed in the blink of an eye.
Kane vanished again, his supersonic movement leaving trails of white shockwaves in the air as he caught up with the flying Malphite, unleashing slashes, knee strikes, and backhand sword strikes...
The attacks came with lightning speed, each accompanied by a deafening sonic boom.
The sky became the battlefield for two seventh-tier powerhouses.
The soldiers below could no longer see their movements; they could only see the constantly exploding orbs of light and the spreading shockwaves in the sky.
The dissipated energy, falling to the ground, creates a bottomless crater.
Its earth-shattering power instilled awe in everyone.
"attack!"
With a command from the three sixth-tier dragon knights, the 120,000-strong army of Holy Radiance City charged towards the demonic tide like a giant beast awakened from its slumber.
"For the glory of our Lord!!"
The heavily armored knights formed a wedge formation and fiercely pierced through the demon's vanguard.
On this magnificent battlefield, a unit with a completely different style attracted everyone's attention.
