Emperor of Arcane

Chapter 596: Retreat? Defeat! (8000)

Matthew noticed the movement of the Kor elves in the distance and turned his head to glance at Ji Fan who was busy.

The latter was quickly "processing" the captives and the Elf soldiers.

"Knock out, paralyze, tie up, carry away, and purify."

"Every wounded person must undergo four inspections, and the inspection team must be different each time."

"All soldiers drink the purification potion immediately, and the purification ceremony will be held for those who react."

"The priest troops will be dispatched to build a large holy water pool."

"Once limb mutations occur, notify the cleansing of the golems immediately!"

"Everyone must abide by the rules, otherwise it will harm others and themselves!"

"..."

The commander of the Gulf Territory arranged it very skillfully and curbed the spread of panic at the fastest speed.

After drinking the purification potion, Annie turned her head to look at the Kor elf camp in the distance where wailing was everywhere.

She could vaguely feel that although the number of the Kor elves was large, the original belief of unity had completely disappeared.

Instead, there was a spreading panic and suspicion of all the companions around.

In sharp contrast to them are the reformed warriors of the patrolling Gulf Territory.

For the first time, they openly showed their tall and strong bodies in front of everyone, showing their uniqueness.

Quite a number of high-level adventurers looked at them expectantly.

Many people gathered together to discuss curiously while repairing and checking:

"Can we also perform corresponding operations in the future?"

"It is likely that we can. Except for some technologies that are being studied, the Gulf Territory treats us no differently from ordinary soldiers."

"I think it should be possible. At most, we can sign more confidentiality "agreements" like learning various technologies."

"This is indeed possible. If we want to continue to maintain the first echelon and seize the opportunity to quickly improve with the Gulf Territory army, both merit and strength are indispensable..."

"It depends on the situation. I will go to the Gulf Territory later. Let's have a good chat with the people in Alice's adventure group. They are always the first to try new things and get the most benefits..."

"If you ask me, several people in their adventure group look like transformed warriors..."

"I was wondering why they are so powerful? So that's what's going on."

"Boss, isn't it time for you to show some strength?"

"Why are you all looking at me? My achievements are not enough. Let's work together. Let me try it when the time comes..."

"..."

Matthew will not specifically distinguish between transformed warriors and ordinary warriors to form targeted differences.

To be precise, such divisive remarks are one of the most severely punished crimes in the Gulf Territory.

It's only slightly lower than betrayal and murder.

Well, the former will be 3,000 knives, while this will only be 2,999 knives.

The extra knives show respect for the territory and life.

Matthew has seen too many tragedies repeating themselves in history, and he was also swept up in it before and became an insignificant part.

Now that he has the ability, he hopes to break this eternal shackle and reincarnation.

Mutual oppression and struggle are not as interesting as fighting against evil creatures like the Scarlet Moon!

The roars one after another sounded under the city wall.

The roars were heard from far away in the empty battlefield.

The evil spirit called the bloodthirsty ancient tree has completely disappeared without a trace.

Instead, there is a monster called the bloody ancient tree!

The horrible twisted tree spirits before have already hidden in twisted bloody cocoons.

The whistling artillery failed to completely break the defense of the bloody cocoon.

Once this new army of monsters is formed, it will bring terrible pressure to the Icewind Castle.

Behind them, the army of the Cole elves, which had been in chaos for a long time before returning to peace, has fallen into a strange atmosphere.

A considerable number of Cole elf warriors have already felt very tired and tortured.

They dared not look at the location of the scarlet ancient tree, nor could they see the enemy and the target, and were somewhat confused about the future and victory.

Compared with the invincible mentality of the past few days, there was an extremely huge gap.

They were in a very contradictory mood now.

They had great hostility towards the very scary scarlet ancient tree in their memory.

But they hoped that it could play a role and help capture the Icewind Castle, or at least greatly consume the defensive power of the Icewind Castle.

Most of the Cole elves knew that the enemies they fought against were not only the Elf warriors.

There were also the Gulf leaders and adventurers who came from afar.

After seeing their strength, they understood their combat effectiveness and difficulty.

Many Cole elf warriors had suffered losses at their hands.

The huge casualties of more than 20% had already formed a considerable deterrent for them.

In particular, many Cole elves had already known.

Today, a new batch of Gulf Territory warriors and supplies will break through the blockade of the teleportation war curtain and arrive at Icewind Castle.

More than 3,000 are so difficult to deal with, how can they fight if there are twice as many?

Since such a huge price has been paid, it is better to let the scarlet ancient tree go up first.

It is this contradictory mentality that has made them lose the confidence of winning without knowing it.

Without the belief of victory, how can they exert their full combat power?

Elf commander Tegris is very regretful now!

He originally thought that everything was under control.

The situation on the entire battlefield will completely usher in the victory of the Cole Elf Army as his plan progresses.

At the beginning, he was ready to crush with hard power.

Without waiting for ordinary combat troops, magician corps, and golem army to consume the enemy's manpower and physical strength, he invested in the most powerful and elite extraordinary troops.

His battle plan is indeed effective.

At the beginning of the battle, the elite troops of the Cole elves caused huge casualties to the El elves.

Just as they were about to win, they ran into the well-prepared reinforcements of the Gulf Lord.

The firepower network composed of enchanted crossbows and dragon hunting crossbows, magic cannons, and magic muskets showed extraordinary lethality.

Especially when the extraordinary elf troops attacked upward in narrow and crowded terrain, they suffered heavy casualties in a short period of time.

At that critical time point.

If Tegris continued to insist and invested more and stronger ace troops.

The Cole elf army in a state of complete victory is still capable of breaking through the defense line of the El elves and the soldiers of the Gulf Lord!

No matter how many ordinary Cole elf warriors died, the elf commander Tegris did not care too much.

If the extraordinary level of elf rangers and warriors suffered a lot of losses and deaths, Tegris would feel very difficult with his identity and status.

So, Tegris hesitated, he wanted to win a perfect victory!

So, ordinary Cole elf warriors continued to appear.

They were used as cannon fodder to explore information and intelligence.

It allowed Tegris to formulate a new battle plan based on the intelligence.

If it was an ordinary opponent, Tegris's arrangement could be said to be foolproof.

As a result, he ran into Matthew, who knew the Cole elves very well, without noticing.

He was hit on the head first, which frightened Tegris directly.

When his offensive slowed down, he immediately arranged for the Gulf Territory's supplies and commanders to enter the field.

After two or three hours, the Elf warriors had completed the improvement of their combat effectiveness, and their defensive capabilities had ushered in a qualitative leap.

The most important point is that the newly developed battlefield medical system of the Gulf Territory has officially started to operate.

The effect is obvious!

Tegris, who suffered a great loss, could still remain calm.

As a result, he "coincidentally" ran into Matthew releasing the "Legendary Spell-Meteor Fall".

Then, Tegris completely lost his mind.

Allowing the birth and growth of evil spirits led to this situation.

If Matthew knew about Teclis's current mental state, he would definitely explain to him enthusiastically:

"Do you feel that your brain was not working properly at that time? That's right..."

"Faced with this level of terrifying existence, you can still maintain your sanity and recover without leaving too terrible sequelae. It is already a good result of your strength and luck."

"Look at the red-eyed Archaon boy next to you. He is not right now..."

Noticing Teclis's dark face and feeling the terrifying breath of the scarlet ancient tree.

Councillor Caledo couldn't help but recall the night two years ago.

"Could it be that this thing and the Bay Territory..."

Councillor Caledo couldn't help but shudder, recalling some terrifying memories, and immediately came to Teclis' side and said a few words quickly.

His pupils shrank involuntarily, and a little horror appeared on Teclis's young face. He took a deep breath and said:

"Notify the entire army and prepare to continue fighting."

Senator Caledor was about to say something, but was stopped by Teclis's head.

When the two were communicating, they didn't notice the figures gathered together at all.

Iris, whose face was a little pale, shook her head in a trance, feeling the faint whispers in her mind, and subconsciously drank a bottle of purification potion.

Achaen, who also looked a little embarrassed, looked at the messy battlefield outside, with a little bloodshot in the corners of his eyes, and said unwillingly:

"The shock wave of the explosion destroyed most of the healing potions..."

"But they obviously have spell scrolls, why don't they want to use them?"

Iris, who had long been numb to this matter, glanced at him calmly, smiled coldly and said:

"It's useless. Why are you not as good as before."

"Those guys have only cared about their own interests. These ordinary soldiers are just cannon fodder."

Aichaen knew Iris's identity very well.

He is the heir of one of the strongest families in the Kingdom of Kor Elf.

Otherwise, with his talent alone, he would not have become a legendary ranger before the age of 50.

Ichaen was not surprised at all that the latter could have such an "awakening".

Because the education that this group of elves has always received is very bright, majestic, fair, daring to sacrifice, and willing to contribute.

This is the Kor elves' way of pushing them out and showing the best side of the elves to other kingdoms and forces.

The other party will naturally yearn for them.

Yearning for the beacon of the civilized world.

Yearning for the beautiful world that the Kor elves said.

Looking forward to bringing their children or families into the extremely beautiful elf world and obtaining the longevity they promised.

At the beginning, the elves of Aichaen and Iris were indeed educated extremely well.

They are talented, good-looking, and come from all walks of life. They don't fight or clash with each other, and work hard towards the same goal.

That was the best time of their lives.

They were assigned to special teams one after another.

Go to dangerous areas and ruins in the northern continent to kill dangerous monsters that bring disasters.

Or save some people in distress, some are elves, some are humans, or other races.

Every elf in the team, or some extremely outstanding members of other races, is proud of their mission and work.

They don't think they are the light of intelligent creatures, but what they do makes them look forward to it.

They firmly believe that the whole world will become better because of their efforts.

They were generally active in the period more than 20 years ago, which was also the time when the Cole Elf Kingdom had the best reputation.

They originally thought that the future would always be so beautiful and fulfilling.

Until a terrible change happened!

That was just the aftermath of the terrible war in the East!

It brought a huge threat to the entire northern continent.

All of them applied for action, but unexpectedly they were not approved.

Their worldview had been formed, and their beliefs were very firm. After seeing many tragic situations, they decided to join the battlefield.

As a result, they soon found something wrong.

The enemies they fought were not only the terrible monsters in the deep sea, but also the figures behind them.

The rescue teams took it for granted that as long as they solved these enemies, the mastermind behind the scenes would naturally appear.

They relied on their outstanding combat effectiveness, rich combat experience, and tacit and almost perfect cooperation.

In the battlefield against evil, they created brilliant victories again and again.

Even the powerful army from the East admired their excellence and had some exchanges with them.

However, they did not get praise this time, but instead received cold and ruthless rebukes and punishments.

All the Kor elves, including Archaon and Aerith, were ordered to return and were not allowed to continue to participate in the war.

For the battlefield situation at the most tense moment of the battle, asking them to withdraw now would be a betrayal to their allies and comrades.

They were extremely outstanding, but they chose to refuse this unreasonable order and continue to participate in this dangerous battle.

They were not afraid of sacrifice, but they were afraid of betrayal of their beliefs!

So, before a crucial battle broke out, they suffered "betrayal" from their closest people.

"The underground world has invaded, and all the Cole elves must return!"

At first, they didn't believe it and thought it was just a lie.

They had seen it many times in the past missions.

They had matured a long time ago and were no longer the young and inexperienced people they were back then.

However, as more and more "information" and letters from their loved ones came.

They had to believe this "fact".

Then, they saw the most terrible and deadly darkness.

The Cole Elf Kingdom underestimated the rescue team it had cultivated.

They underestimated these brilliant people who were carefully selected and tempered.

Or in other words, the Cole Elf Kingdom didn't care whether they knew it or not.

They thought they should be mature and grown up.

They were no longer the fools who could get excited and ready to sacrifice their lives after a few words or provocation.

Indeed, the Cole Elf Kingdom guessed right.

When they missed a crucial battle.

Considered a traitor by their former teammates and comrades, everything was irreversible.

They were mature enough to pretend that they didn't care, but they were actually investigating secretly.

Contrary to their expectations, they easily found out the truth.

At first they were a little bit unconvinced.

But after multiple confirmations, they even found the elves responsible for the action, and easily got the truth.

The underground world forces did invade the Kor elves and killed thousands of elves.

However, the invasion of the underground world monsters.

was carried out under the leadership of the Kor Elf Kingdom.

They indulged these cruel and terrible monsters and attacked a quiet and peaceful elf village on the route they arranged.

They watched all the elves being killed with their own eyes and took pictures of all these things as evidence for them to come back.

Yes, this was a farce directed and performed by themselves.

Although the actions of the Kor Elf Kingdom were very covert, the people who took action were too amateur.

At that time, the elf elites, who had at least reached the peak of extraordinary strength, easily got the answers they wanted.

The answer made them feel extremely disgusting.

Acharn "asked" the bloody elf why he chose that inconspicuous village, but he didn't expect the latter to really give an answer.

He shouted in a burst of sharp laughter:

"Who asked them to take in the half-elves? This is the most stupid behavior and the way they die. We have to kill many such fools every year..."

Aichaen didn't wait for him to finish, and chopped off his head under his incredible gaze.

Then, all the members were silent.

They felt that the whole world had become extremely strange. The motherland that once made them proud had undergone a thorough change.

They were surrounded by a large number of troops, but they were soon released.

The reason was simple. The guys they killed had the identity of "cultists".

The councillors who handled the matter even reminded them intentionally or unintentionally:

"You are the pride and idols of many young elves. You will not do anything wrong, just like us..."

From that day on, Aichaen felt that he was "crazy".

He felt like a joke, a joke created by humans.

He had resisted, struggled, and fallen into darkness.

What he got was the support of the parliament.

As long as he was obedient, these things were irrelevant and were considered his growth.

So, Archaon soon realized.

As an elf, he was powerless to resist and change all this.

The darkness deep in the Kor elves was buried in their blood and roots since the founding of this country.

Now, they are just too lazy to cover it up!

So, Archaon "compromised" and turned back into the "elite" who could complete various "tasks" excellently.

From a glorious hero, he became an executioner hidden in the dark.

Kill any enemy that would threaten the Kor elves.

Even former companions!

He quickly won the praise of the parliament, obtained more resources and power, and mastered stronger strength.

But unknowingly, Archaon forgot his former self, forgot the madness buried deep in his mind, and immersed himself in the hypocritical world woven for him by himself and the people around him.

He gradually became what he hated the most!

The dragon slayer eventually became a dragon?

Until now, from the "Legendary Spell-Meteorite Falling" brought about the strange will, to the birth of the consciousness carrier of the Scarlet Moon.

The madness in his heart quickly digested all memories and experiences.

He woke up!

Just as a former oriental friend said.

"Suddenly the golden rope was opened, and the jade lock was broken here!"

"Hey, the tide is coming on the Qiantang River."

"Today I know that I am me!"

He wiped the blood on his cheek, gently rubbed his fingers, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a little madness in his eyes, and said in a calm and confident tone:

"It doesn't matter, these guys gave me inspiration, and I thought of what to do."

Iris subconsciously widened his eyes.

He could clearly feel that Archaon was in a bad mood, so he quickly handed him a bottle of purification potion. After he drank it with a smile, he breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Don't scare me. Just like the failure just now, these ghosts are unreliable."

Shrugging his shoulders nonchalantly, Archaon naturally knew what the old man was worried about. He shook his head and said nonchalantly:

"Don't worry, I will definitely not do anything stupid."

"It's not like we haven't killed these things before. They are too weak and not worth my effort."

"However, it is an excellent tool to deal with these idiots..."

Iris looked at his friend with some entanglement, hesitated for a while, and finally said nothing.

Because he also had deep hatred in his heart, but he had been suppressing it and had not erupted.

He didn't know how crazy Archaon's plan would be, but he didn't want to torture himself like this anymore.

Gripping the sharp blade in his hand, Iris struggled to stand up, turned his head to look at the bloody ancient tree emitting strange red fluctuations, and asked curiously:

"How strong is this thing?"

Shaking his head nonchalantly, Archaon looked up at the sky with great anticipation, with a curious expression on his face:

"It's time!"

"Roar...!"

The dragon roar that resounded through the sky and the huge figure immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The brilliant golden sunlight reflected a dazzling light on Yaya's body.

Her scales were not as smooth and translucent as those of ordinary silver dragons, but were deeper and thicker, shining with the luster of time.

Noticing the appearance of Yaya, the bloody ancient tree slowly raised its head.

The twisted eyes became more and more blood red, and soon accumulated extremely terrifying magic fluctuations.

Chi!

A blood-colored beam of light turned into a physical shock wave and flew towards Yaya in the sky.

Chaos Spell - Corruption Ray!

Yaya noticed this scene, but still swooped down without dodging.

She spread her huge wings and opened her big mouth full of sharp fangs.

The slightly white terrifying flame flew down madly as Yaya roared suddenly.

Whoosh!

Yaya's destructive flame just hit the blood-colored beam of light emitted from the eyes of the bloody ancient tree.

There was no surprise. The scarlet ancient tree, which had not yet fully formed, was far from being Yaya's opponent.

Yaya, whose body had grown to 25 meters, was larger than some true dragons that entered the legendary stage after adulthood.

Moreover, Yaya's true dragon breath had been upgraded to an astonishing LV3.

The fatal destructive power instantly melted the threat of the corruption ray.

The flames suddenly expanded dozens of times in size and fell on the bloody ancient tree with great force.

The bloody ancient tree's twisted bloody lines immediately emitted a strange and dazzling luster, trying to fight against the dragon's breath flames.

Ignoring the faint whispers in his ears, Yaya roared happily, and his whole body, like a super cannonball, slammed heavily on the bloody ancient tree that didn't react.

Boom!

The violent shock set off a violent shock wave.

In the rolling smoke and dust, Yaya cut off the vine tentacles extending from the mouth of the bloody ancient tree.

While it didn't struggle to get up, a claw was inserted into its eyes.

Eye plug!

The flexible tail was like an iron whip, sweeping aside several dry monsters that emerged from the blood cocoon.

It turned flexibly again and slammed heavily on the belly of the bloody ancient tree.

Kick the crotch!

"Ah...!"

The shrill scream resounded through the sky.

It wasn't that the bloody ancient tree had any weak points.

It was simply that Yaya's tail, which was stronger than an iron whip, dug a huge and hideous gap in its abdomen like a sharp broadsword.

Disgusting twisted tentacles immediately emerged from it, but they were completely unable to do anything to Yaya's shiny dragon scales.

Seeing that the bloody ancient tree was still struggling, Yaya flapped her wings without hesitation.

The claws inserted into its eyes dug hard, instantly pulling out a large mass of twisted flesh and blood.

Yaya could feel it clearly.

Even though the flesh and blood had been separated from the body of the bloody ancient tree, it still maintained its twisted activity.

Trying to drill into her scales and skin!

There was no fear in Yaya's heart, and her heart was as calm as still water. She immediately pounced down again.

The bloody ancient tree, which had just raised its head, was pressed back to the ground.

Yaya nimbly went around the back of the bloody ancient tree.

Her two claws closed around its neck, and then she used both claws to force it.

Locking the throat!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

A trembling sound of breaking sounded.

The severely injured bloody ancient tree struggled frantically.

But whether it was its dry and thin limbs or the tentacles spreading from its body, they were completely helpless against the burly and agile Yaya.

She tore off its head!

Under the shining of golden sunlight, Yaya stepped on the still struggling headless body of the bloody ancient tree and raised its twisted head in front of her eyes.

She slowly opened her big mouth,

Under the unbelievable gaze of countless people, a mouthful of venting anger gushed out.

Whoosh!

The flames of destruction flew hundreds of meters away, instantly burning the twisted ancient tree's head to ashes.

The air was filled with the stench of burning meat.

Yaya quickly dealt with the still struggling body, dismembering it in a few moves, just like dismantling an ugly toy.

Such a violent and visually impactful scene gave the viewers an indescribable spiritual shock.

Tigris blinked hard, feeling the terrifying dragon power coming from afar, and said in disbelief:

"Is that it? How did she do it? It's impossible!"

Not only was Teclis full of questions, but even Councillor Caledor, who had seen how powerful Yaya was, couldn't help but shudder.

He was extremely familiar with dragon creatures.

Because in addition to being a councillor, he was also the patriarch of the dragon tamer family in the Kingdom of Kor Elf.

His family has been famous for taming dragon-blooded creatures for generations, and they are very familiar with the situation of dragon-blooded creatures.

Councillor Caledor was naturally very interested in the mysterious and powerful Yaya.

He obtained a lot of information and battle images of Yaya from various channels.

From the time Yaya was just born to the current very powerful growth process, Councillor Caledor was deeply attracted.

At first, he stubbornly believed that the reason for such a change was because Yaya's bloodline talent was extremely outstanding.

Moreover, Yaya himself was in the fastest growing young dragon stage.

These growths now are just the accumulation of decades of dragon egg life and the gifts of the elders.

However, after meeting again, the terrible changes that happened to Yaya made Councillor Caledo feel that all the knowledge he had learned and all the experience he had accumulated had turned into a pile of useless waste.

He could accurately judge.

Yaya's body size was at least 4 meters larger than before.

Her weight had increased by at least 20%.

Her strength and explosive power had been significantly improved.

She could crush the legendary bloody ancient tree in both strength and physique.

She was not like a silver dragon at all, and was much more terrifying than the strong gold dragon and red dragon!

Because this meant that Yaya's strength and physique attributes had both exceeded 35 points, reaching the limit of the legendary creature's upward climb.

In just two or three months, Yaya's growth rate was beyond his understanding of dragon-blood creatures.

What made him even more incredible was that.

Yaya's flexibility was not affected at all, but she had more combat skills and experience than before.

There was simply no example of such a terrible change, which made Councillor Caledo extremely confused.

Yaya naturally didn't know about Councillor Caledor's distress.

She happily took out the meteorite representing the carrier of the bloody ancient tree's consciousness from its broken body.

In front of everyone, it spewed out another terrifying dragon's breath flame.

Such a powerful firepower made everyone feel numb.

For the first time, they witnessed the horror of the legendary real dragon and the shock of facing people's hearts.

That was a terrifying height that subverted their cognition!

All the Cole elves watched Yaya, carrying the meteorite that was constantly burning in her claws, return to the Icewind Castle that made them feel desperate.

The hearts of all the Cole elves sank directly to the bottom of the valley.

They had just mustered up the courage to fight the Icewind Castle again, but after seeing Yaya's powerful "performance", they instantly collapsed.

Do we have such an opponent?

Still fight?

Fight a fart!

Just at this time, the surging space fluctuations came from the Icewind Castle.

All the Cole elves immediately realized that the second batch of reinforcements from the Bay Territory had arrived!

With a slight twitch in the corner of his eye, Tegris, who was in great pain, took a deep look at the devastated Icewind Castle, remembered the tooth that fell on the wall deeply in his heart, and gritted his teeth and gave an order:

"Retreat!"

Icewind Castle.

Matthew patted Jifan on the shoulder, walked towards the tooth who was "offering treasures" to the magic goddess, and said lightly:

"They are going to retreat!"

Jifan took the information handed over by Feili, who had just come to reinforce, and the brand new team communicator.

He silently glanced at the information on the magic map, and said to the communicator in a firm tone:

"All troops, start fighting according to the plan."

"These dog food-fed people are about to run away, but we must not let them do what they want!"

"We need a big victory, and the enemy will get a rout!"

Bay Territory, attack!
