Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 238 - 232: Kill Them

Chapter 238 -232: Kill Them

The Half-Beast Army is attacking!

When Dema posted screenshots of the Half-Beast Army’s sighting from the watchtower on the forum, players immediately exploded.

“Whoa! It’s finally happening?! I’ve been moving bricks in the game for over half a month, and I’m getting bored to death.”

“Thirty thousand Half-Beasts! That’s thirty thousand raffle tickets! A full six-god outfit isn’t a dream anymore!”

“Caught me off guard… I thought the game officials would announce it, like ‘Half-Beasts are invading’ or something… But they just appeared on the map without a word.”

“Well, that’s usual for ‘Elf Kingdom’, setting up a prelude for players to trigger before any system alert; it has a nice element of surprise.”

“Surprise, my foot, everything depends on luck in this game, it’s just for Luck Kings and grinding masters…”

“Isn’t it better than a game for rich players?”

“Pah… What game isn’t for the rich? Just look at Salted Cat, money equals justice.”

“But she’s not just lucky; she’s half a grinding master too. Being both lucky and wealthy and a grinder is the real deal!”

“Exactly, if you don’t like it, just quit the game! There are twenty million more players waiting behind you. #sarcasm”

“…”

The forum was filled with cheer and excitement, with no tension or fear about the upcoming war.

However, there were some who were concerned:

“I mean… Isn’t the number of Half-Beasts kind of exaggerated? Can we even win?”

Of course, voices like these were quickly drowned out by others:

“Cut it out… Would the officials really set an unbeatable scenario? That would ruin the game, right? Those developers would get cursed to death.”

“Exactly! Given the enemy’s numbers, I’m sure the game balanced it with our strength. At most, it’s a bit challenging, but you just follow the storyline tips, and you’re good!”

“Agree, think about it… We have over ten thousand players now, with almost five thousand online at any given time. With the summer events kicking off, most people are level 11 in the past few days. Thirty thousand Half-Beasts, it’s just about one per player! ”

“Yeah! And if things get tough, we can even ask an NPC to summon the Eve Goddess! She’s the pinnacle of combat power in the game.”

Though there was some dissent:

“Don’t get too excited, Half-Beasts aren’t like shadow creatures. As a Second Test Player, I’ve personally experienced their combat abilities. They’re strong.”

“Indeed, even though these Half-Beasts seem dim-witted, their fighting capacity is strong. However… Our combat power has also improved significantly, and in an actual fight, it might be a close match.”

“Also, we shouldn’t rely on the Goddess. Didn’t Alice say in faith wars, the True God cannot directly intervene? The Goddess is only allowed to be summoned in specific scenarios, so we probably can’t call her in this war, at least not during the battle with the Half-Beasts. It’s solely up to us.”

“Right, if the Goddess was summoned, what would fighting do anyway?”

…

“Is it finally happening?”

When Dema and the players on the surveillance mission saw the incoming Half-Beast Army, Eve, who had previously marked these individuals, also got the message.

She was moved and focused her Divine Sense on Dema’s vision, immediately seeing the countless Half-Beast Armies.

Her Divine Sense was incredibly powerful and sharp. Even splitting just a fraction of attention to the player’s vision, Eve could discern the Half-Beasts almost seventy to eighty percent clearly…

“It was indeed an army of thirty thousand… And they’re strong! Nearly half of them are above the Black Iron Middle Rank. Fortunately, their equipment isn’t great.”

Equipment obviously boosted combat power.

Most players’ gear was blue rarity or better, exchanged from the shop, reconstructed by Eve using her Divine Power after recycling, of superb quality.

If players were slightly weaker compared to the Half-Beasts personally, equipped, the gap would lessen greatly.

“The aura of Silver… roughly twenty or so, but the ten beasts are the most notable!”

“While these beasts aren’t stronger than the Silver Middle Rank, if I’m not mistaken, they should be the Bimong Giant Beasts recorded in legends! They are the descendants of the Titan Giants from the Ancient God Era!”

“And the descendants of Titan Giants… are entirely beyond common reasoning. Even if they’re only at Silver strength, they can unleash devastating damage comparable to the Golden Rank on Black Iron Rank players due to their destructive capabilities.”

Titan Giants, like Dragons, were a Golden Race.

Creatures with Golden lineage were inherently stronger, even if they couldn’t jump ranks, they could unleash terror beyond their level against weaker opponents.

“Only two have the aura of Gold… could they be, as per the shadow Dwarf’s messages, the Half-Beast’s Chief Priest and their leader, the Lionheart King?”

Eve’s heart stirred slightly.

“This was likely the overt strength of the Half-Beasts, sufficient for conventional war.”

“But since it’s a faith war… The power of a True God would definitely be present. Though the Divine herself wouldn’t step in, Uller will definitely send a legendary-level clansman!”

Eve pondered for a moment, slightly strengthening her Divine Sense to further observe the Half-Beast’s army, aiming to issue more precise instructions to the players.

However, at that moment, she suddenly noticed the “vision” owner climbing down from the watchtower.

“Hmm? What’s Dema doing? Retreating?”

Eve was slightly stunned.

Yet to her surprise, Dema didn’t head back but instead took off his equipment, dug a hole to bury it, and while shivering in the cold wind, told the other two players,

“The Half-Beasts are too slow! And judging by their direction… They might not even be coming our way. Quickly bury your gear, and let’s head over ourselves.”

“Ugh… Let’s keep the weapons, though. Charging with weapons would look better. I noticed you guys had an extra plain sword, sell it to me, my sword’s epic, can’t risk dropping it.”

“Brr… It’s too cold. I’m going to turn off the temperature sensation, shouldn’t freeze to death.”

Saying this, Dema paused slightly, then stopped shivering.

“You two, hurry up. If we run quickly, we could reach the Half-Beasts in a quarter hour and maybe catch a dinner if we’re lucky.”

“Today I’ll show you how I used to fool the Half-Beasts! Watch me trick them to the core today!”

Dema said smugly.

The two low-level players: …

This… is he going undercover again?

Eve couldn’t help but chuckle.

Dema looked absolutely thrilled.

He buried his equipment, turned off temperature sensing, and then cheerfully led the two players, whose faces were blue from the cold but filled with excitement, running toward the Half-Beasts’ direction.

And as they ran, Dema simply started streaming, naming the channel “Dema Takes You on a Tour of the Half-Beast Camp,” then tossed the link onto the forum.

Soon, players, already intrigued by the Half-Beasts, flocked into the stream with curiosity:

“Phew… Dema, are you going undercover again?”

“Don’t say, he’s good with trackers.”

“Hahahahaha…”

Dema moved fast.

Along the way, with no attempts to hide himself, he brazenly waved a crude large knife, almost as if begging the Half-Beasts to spot him, shouting loudly as he ran.

As expected, the Half-Beasts noticed the approaching few Elves.

“Elves?”

Watching the three players dressed in thin clothes, their faces purple from the cold, barefoot, and waving a knife as they rushed wildly toward them, Lionheart King Imsh and the Chief Priest exchanged puzzled glances.

“Capture them.”

Lionheart King Imsh said in a deep voice.

Soon, a group of Half-Beasts swarmed over, tying up these seemingly panic-stricken, erratic-minded players.

Unexpectedly, the three Elves only resisted symbolically before the Half-Beasts disarmed them and escorted them before Lionheart King Imsh and the Chief Priest.

This… is absolutely a storyline boss!

Looking at Lionheart King Imsh and the Chief Priest, whose gears were obviously several levels above the surrounding Half-Beasts, feeling their strong presence, Dema widened his eyes with excitement.

But as the Chief Priest observed Dema’s wide, rolling eyes, he slightly furrowed his brow.

Lionheart King Imsh looked at the three Elves with interest, then turned to the Chief Priest:

“Your Excellency, the Chief Priest, these three Elves… what do you think?”

“Kill them as sacrifices.”

The Chief Priest’s expression was cold.

Dema’s smile froze on his face.
