Game of the World Tree

"Here... used to be that cave tribe?"

Looking at the dilapidated ruins in front of her, Cynthia's voice was unimaginable.

Keynes frowned and nodded. He looked around vigilantly, then stepped forward and began to check the scene.

On the ground, faint traces of blood could still be discerned, but it had completely turned black.

And the whole ruins seemed to be turned over, a mess.

"There's a battle here, I'm afraid... it's been at least three months, and from the traces on the scene, it looks like a village that was robbed by bandits, and nothing remains. The cave tribe, I'm afraid they've been wiped out."

Keynes said solemnly.

"Three months..."

Cynthia murmured, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

The largest orc tribe in the vicinity of the Elf Forest was quietly exterminated three months ago, and after such a long time, there is no news around!

What exactly did they encounter?

Here... what happened again?

Moreover, it is just a poor orc tribe, what good things can be robbed? Robbery?

The more the two mercenary heads thought deeply, the more vigilant they felt, but at the same time they felt very puzzled.

Judging from the traces on the scene, the cave tribe seems to have experienced the attack of the mountain bandits, and they are also the kind of powerful mountain bandits who will kill them silently.

But... this is a half-orc!

What's up with their junk?

And... this is the sphere of influence of the Orcs, where did the bandits come from?

"Could it be... is it a black dragon? Or, is it made by a dependent race of the black dragon?"

Cynthia asked.

"Black dragon... A juvenile black dragon should not have the ability to destroy the cave tribe quietly. It can quietly destroy the tribe of the orcs... This is probably a rather ferocious force, and... the population is probably very large. !"

Keynes frowned.

After listening to Cairns' words, Cynthia's brows furrowed even deeper.

She looked around again, and suddenly her expression changed:

"Look! There are so many footprints here!"

Keynes stood up and looked in the direction she pointed, and sure enough, he saw the dense and messy footprints.

The footprints seem to be human, and there seem to be a lot of monsters mixed in with them.

The traces of these footprints are new, as if they had just been left.

"This is a new footprint, definitely no more than a day!"

Cynthia murmured.

Keynes narrowed his eyes slightly, then suddenly stretched out his foot and gestured with the footprints.

"Um?"

After a while, he let out a light hum.

"What's wrong?"

Cynthia asked curiously.

Keynes' expression had a hint of surprise, a hint of doubt, and a hint of surprise:

"These footprints... seem to belong to elves!"

"Elves?!"

Cynthia was slightly taken aback.

After listening to the other party's words, she looked carefully again, and she found some characteristics that only elves have.

Both mercenary groups have traded and hunted elves, and they are still very capable of discerning the footprints of elves. Looking closely, they really found a difference.

"It really seems to be the footprints of elves! But... where did so many elves come from? Could they be those who were deceived by the southern nobles before?"

Cynthia was surprised and puzzled.

Surprisingly, if there are really elves here, then I am afraid they will make a lot of money again, and the doubt is that these footprints... seem to be too many.

Keynes was about to say something, but suddenly heard a loud dragon roar in the distance...

They raised their heads subconsciously, looked in the direction of the source of the sound, and saw a black castle on the hillside in the distance.

No, that's not a castle anymore.

I saw a solid city wall built outside the castle. The city wall looks very new, and I am afraid it will not take long to complete.

Even the old castle seems to have been meticulously restored.

And a mighty black dragon is hovering over the castle.

"Black dragon's lair!"

The two of them lit up.

They had been shocked by the ruins in front of them just now, but they didn't realize that the black dragon's lair they had been looking for was just ahead!

However, before they could be happy, the expressions of the two of them became serious in an instant...

The restored castle, the destroyed cave tribe, and the dense footprints of suspected elves...

As if thinking of something, the heads of the two mercenary groups looked around subconsciously.

The Grotto Tribe is built on the mountain, the terrain is low, and the other three sides are dense forests, which look... like a pocket.

This terrain... If something happens, it doesn't seem very good.

The two of them had the idea almost at the same time.

At this time, a breeze suddenly blew.

I saw countless birds flying out of the forest, and they were chirping, as if they had been frightened in some way...

"not good!"

In an instant, the heads of the two mercenary regiments stood up almost at the same time.

And as soon as they finished speaking, they heard a whizzing sound of breaking wind, and a series of arrows with shining skills flew out from the surrounding forest and shot directly at the mercenaries gathered beside the ruins of the cave tribe.

These arrows were so unpredictable that the mercenaries on the periphery were shot by arrows before they could understand what was going on.

In a face-to-face, with bursts of exclamations and screams, dozens of mercenaries fell directly to the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

For a time, the mercenaries gathered here immediately rioted.

"Ambush! This is an ambush! We've been tricked!"

Almost at the same moment, the two regiments realized what was going on.

They were shocked and angry, suspicious and horrified.

And just after the arrow fell, a frenzied and enthusiastic shouting sounded from all around.

Accompanied by "Ula!" "Oh Oo Oo!" and other chaotic excited shouts, one after another tall figure suddenly rushed out of the surrounding forest.

Gorgeous equipment, or handsome or beautiful faces, it turned out to be an elves!

"Elves?!"

Seeing the hundreds of elves suddenly sprang out, the mercenaries' expressions were very exciting.

But soon, the excitement turned into excitement.

Elf!

They actually met the elves!

And... these elves rushed towards them stupidly!

The Eternal Lord is above, these are shiny gold pounds!

Even after dozens of companions were shot to death by the elves just now, when they saw these elves, the original panic of the mercenaries quickly turned into excitement.

Which of the maple leaf mercenaries has not participated in elf hunting?

They are all too familiar with this kind of weak and timid but invaluable long ears.

That is to say, the archery is better, and the melee combat cannot be weaker!

However, this subconscious thought only lasted for less than a few seconds.

Because they soon discovered the weirdness of these elves.

The image of these elves was completely different from what the mercenaries knew.

They brandished their weapons, yelled, crowded, and cheered like a bunch of lunatics.

And when they looked at the mercenary, it was like a wild wolf seeing its prey!

Fierce, excited, crazy...

Those eyes made the mercenaries take a step back unconsciously.

And just when the mercenaries were in shock.

Countless figures jumped out of the forest accompanied by one after another shouting...

Their cries were deafening, and their figures were densely packed.

The expressions of the two leaders were instantly solemn.

In their field of vision, a fully armed elf army appeared!

And they... were dumped in an instant.
