Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 237 - 231: Taking You on a Ride Through The Infernal Affairs

Chapter 237 -231: Taking You on a Ride Through The Infernal Affairs

“Heh heh, victory will surely belong to us Half-Beasts! I just don’t believe that an army of thirty thousand, the most elite and powerful warriors from our various Half-Beast tribes, can’t deal with the mere declining Elf Clan!”

Lionheart King Imush said proudly.

The Chief Priest glanced at him and shook her head slightly,

“Jushan thought the same, and yet now… there is no longer a Rock Cave Tribe in this world.”

“Hmph! The mere Elf Clan surely cannot withstand our legion! Even if the Death God has granted them some revival ability!”

Lionheart King Imush sneered coldly.

After speaking, he looked into the distance, with some disdain in his expression,

“Hunted by us and humans for so many years, even if they gather again, it’s not bad for the elves to gather a thousand warriors, and… with the poor remnants of their strength, they’re simply no match for us!”

“With thirty thousand troops, even if each one took a leak, they could drown them! Even if they’re blessed by the Death God, reviving a few times would shatter their souls completely. I don’t believe those elves can keep reviving!”

“Not to mention… we still have a backup plan!”

After hearing Imush’s words, the Chief Priest shook her head again, her expression gradually becoming serious,

“Great King, do not underestimate the power of the Divine!”

“The power of the elves is indeed weak, but the entity behind them is a new god who has not yet left the Segis Plane and ascended to the Heavenly Realm!”

“And a new god who has not ascended to the Heavenly Realm but holds the highest level divine duties, even if she has few clansmen, her power far surpasses ours…”

“As long as her Divine Power is not exhausted, she is almost invincible in the material world… Otherwise, Lord Walker would not have fallen in the Elf Forest.”

After listening to the Chief Priest’s words, Lionheart King Imush was momentarily stunned.

Looking at the female Half-Beast Priest in front of him, his expression was somewhat uncertain and suspicious,

“Are you saying… in this belief war, this Evil God might take personal action against us? To stop our slaughter of the elves?”

“If we push the one behind them too hard, it’s indeed possible she might intervene directly as a Divine, breaking the rules…”

The Chief Priest’s expression was very calm.

But after she finished speaking, her expression turned extremely fervent again,

“Of course, if the other side does strike us as a Divine, it is also what Father God wants to see…”

After hearing these words, it seemed Imush thought of something, and his expression slightly changed.

His face did not look good, even turning a bit pale, and his hands clenched slightly, his sharp nails almost embedding into his flesh…

“You mean… you mean…”

When he spoke, he was almost grinding his teeth.

“All under the True God are ants!”

And at this moment, a light shout from the Chief Priest echoed in Imush’s ears, startling him suddenly.

Lionheart King Imush shivered, realizing he had unknowingly broken into a cold sweat.

He wanted to say something more, but when he saw the Chief Priest’s half-smiling expression, he hesitated…

“Great King…”

Just as Lionheart King Imush was filled with doubt, the Chief Priest’s light words reached him again,

“How do you see us Half-Beasts?”

Not waiting for a response, the Chief Priest continued on her own,

“We Half-Beasts… ultimately are just the lowest of the Black Iron Race, our racial potential doesn’t even compare to humans, who aren’t even of the Black Iron Race!”

“For a thousand years, the Magic Power in the Segis World was low, and Father God grew gradually powerful, allowing us to establish a foothold in the Segis World…”

“But now… the Magic Power of the Segis World is rising again, while Father God’s strength has hit a bottleneck.”

“With the return of Magic Power, those entities that were originally dormant will begin to awaken, the Segis Continent, which has been calm for a millennium, is about to fall into chaos…”

“Our Half-Beasts still have too shallow a foundation, if we want our race to truly grow to be as powerful as the Beastmen or Humans… there is only one way!”

At this point, the Chief Priest’s expression became even more fervent,

“And that is… to let Father God acquire more powerful divine duties, becoming a nobler being!”

“For this… we must spare no cost! Even if it means sacrificing our lives!”

Lionheart King Imush’s pupils narrowed slightly,

“This is gambling!”

“Of course it’s gambling!”

The Chief Priest’s tone was calm, but her gaze was hotter than ever,

“Two thousand years ago… we gambled and won, obtaining the Death Desert.”

“A thousand years ago, we gambled and won again, obtaining the Dark Mountain Range and the Elf Forest.”

“This time… if we win, we have the hope of becoming a truly powerful race! Standing on equal footing with the Beastmen, Humans, and even Dragons!”

…

About fifteen kilometers south of Black Dragon Castle, on a rather steep slope.

This location was about three hundred kilometers in a straight line from the World Tree and was currently the furthest distance players were able to reach.

The once-barren slope now had a brand-new yet rudimentary Observation Tower.

In the Observation Tower, three elves were idly gathered around a campfire.

“Achoo—!”

Demacia sneezed, wrapped himself tighter in a small blanket he had taken from a Human Caravan, and grumbled,

“Seriously, the weather system in this game is over the top. It’s so cold!”

“It’s autumn after all! And we’re in the mountains… Besides, what’s most attractive about ‘Elf Kingdom’ is the realism! Besides, you can turn off the temperature sensation!”

One of the low-level players said with a smile.

Demacia shook his head,

“Pain can be turned off, but turning off the temperature sensation takes away too much fun.”

Hearing his words, the two players pondered thoughtfully.

One hesitated for a moment and then asked out of curiosity,

“Speaking of which… Demacia, why did you take on such a boring activity task like setting up a lookout post on the map’s edge?”

“Yeah, indeed!”

Another player by the campfire nodded repeatedly,

“It’s one of the most boring tasks among activity tasks, for us who haven’t reached level 11, the experience is quite substantial, but Demacia, you’re already level 21, aren’t you? This bit of experience isn’t even a third of your experience bar, right?”

Upon hearing the words of the two low-level players, Demacia’s face immediately fell.

He sighed deeply and shook his head helplessly,

“I can’t help it… At the end of last semester, I played games so much I flunked six courses. As a result, this damn year my school has a summer term!”

“In a few days, it starts, and the make-up exams are scheduled for the summer term. If I flunk again this time, I’ll have to retake them. Retaking six courses at once… it’ll kill me, the attendance alone will mess me up…”

“A university student?”

The two players asked curiously.

“Yeah, freshman year.”

Demacia sighed.

“So… I’m doing tasks and studying at the same time.”

He snapped a picture of his screen and sent it to his task teammates.

Upon seeing the screenshot of the lecture presentation, both teammates instantly gave him sympathetic looks.

“But speaking of which… the mental acceleration technology in ‘Elf Kingdom’ is truly impressive! Especially for revising lessons and writing papers, the efficiency is incredible!”

One of them sighed.

Meanwhile, the other shook his head,

“Come on… How many people who enter the game can patiently use mental acceleration for studying? Watching videos is one thing, but really studying, it’s just cramming last-minute… Uh… cough cough, Demacia, I wasn’t talking about you…”

Demacia’s face darkened.

He was about to say something, but suddenly his expression changed, and his pointed ears perked up immediately,

“Did you hear that? It sounds like footsteps…”

“Sound?”

The two low-level players were momentarily confused.

“No… is it background music? Hmm… the BGM of the Dark Mountain Range is pretty good.”

Demacia: …

“We’re on a surveillance task, what kind of BGM is appropriate here? Turn it off! Turn it off!”

He said speechlessly.

Without waiting for the two third-test newbies to respond, he stood up wrapped in the small blanket and walked toward the edge of the Observation Tower.

The sky had grown a bit dark, as the mountain wind howled, making his face itch slightly, causing him to squint his eyes…

But when Demacia saw the scene beyond the Observation Tower, his eyes went wide, and he couldn’t help but curse,

“Damn!”

In his field of vision…

The mountains and plains were covered with Half-Beasts.

Countless, seemingly endless!

At first startled, Demacia’s expression gradually shifted to excitement,

“The Half-Beast Army is here! The Half-Beast Army is here! Ha ha, the plot is starting!”

He began frantically taking screenshots of the Half-Beasts while signaling to the two other low-level players.

When the other two low-level players saw the massive army, their faces changed drastically as well…

Even though they knew this was a game, the oppressive and awe-inspiring scene left them shaken.

One player swallowed, asking,

“Demacia, now that the Half-Beasts are here, should we notify the others and retreat?”

“Retreat? For what?”

Demacia rolled up his sleeves, his expression full of excitement,

“Let’s stay here, light the torches, and wait for them to capture us!”

“Capture… us?”

The two players looked utterly baffled.

“Heh heh! You don’t get it, do you? To the Half-Beasts, elves are prime slaves! If they capture us, they’ll surely hold us as prisoners, and then… we can help other players locate them!”

“Heh heh heh… this time, I’ll show you guys how to play the undercover game!”

Demacia eagerly rubbed his hands together.

The two players: …

“Didn’t you say you were going to study…”

Demacia: …

“Ahem, I’ll study after we play; it’s only a few hours anyway.”

He chuckled awkwardly.
