Game of the World Tree - Chapter 771

771. Chapter 768: Invasion from the Ocean (Update)

The elves and half-elves on the dock stopped their work and looked in the direction of the sea in surprise.

Gando’s heart skipped a beat and he slowly turned his head.

In the direction of the sea, on the sea level that was connected to the sky, there was a long white line that was vaguely visible, sweeping everything.

The white line gradually enlarged and enlarged, and as it enlarged, it continued to rise.

The rumbling sound of the waves was like a faint thunder, carrying the sea breeze that rustled the plants on the shore.

Facing the increasingly strong sea breeze, Gando stared at the white line that was getting closer and closer, and he had a vague feeling of bad premonition in his heart.

At this time, the sailor on the sailboat who was also looking at the sea level suddenly changed his expression:

“No! It’s a tsunami!”

Tsunami!

Gando’s face was stern.

He silently chanted a spell, cast the magic [Eagle Eye Technique], and looked at the sea level that was like a galloping horse.

Under the Eagle Eye spell, his vision was greatly improved, and he finally saw clearly what the narrow white line was.

It was nothing else but an endless sea wave!

The waves rushed and roared, rolling towards the shore, and as time went by, they continued to rise at an astonishing speed…

Gando’s expression changed drastically:

“Not good! Go and notify the temple and activate the divine defense barrier!”

After saying that, he looked at the stunned tribesmen, gritted his teeth, and simply ran directly towards the temple.

The tsunami was approaching.

The roaring sound of the waves became louder and louder, from the vague sound at the beginning, to the drumbeat, and then to the continuous thunder.

And the waves that looked like white lines kept rising, rising, and rising to a point that even on the shore, people felt frightened.

The elves and half-elves on the shore looked at the terrifying huge waves that were probably at least tens of meters high in shock, and their hearts were horrified.

On the dock, there was chaos.

Gando didn’t run too far before a harsh alarm bell sounded from the direction of the Temple of Life…

Then, a bright beam of light slowly rose from the direction of the temple, and after rising to the sky, it scattered and turned into an inverted bowl of light, covering the entire elven city.

Seeing this scene, Gando stopped and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That was the divine defense barrier.

With the divine defense barrier, even a tsunami could not cause damage to the city.

However, in addition to the city, other coastal areas of the Elf Forest might be in trouble.

Thinking of this, Gando turned back and looked in the direction of the sea.

However, this glance made him completely freeze in his place.

I saw that the waves continued to rise in the direction of the sea, and I don’t know when it has risen several times.

The height is probably more than a hundred meters…

The terrifying waves are getting closer and closer, covering the sky above the ocean and casting a shadow on the streets of Milovia.

The wind is whistling, the sky and the earth are changing color, and looking at the giant waves that seem to destroy the world, Gando’s face is pale.

The earth was shaking, and the shouts of the tribesmen were drowned in the thundering sound of the waves.

In Gando’s horrified sight, the surging waves crashed into the city’s divine defense barrier, knocking the entire barrier to the brink of collapse…

The huge waves suddenly knocked the entire coastal city to the bottom of the water, and outside the defense barrier, on the continuous coastline, the terrifying waves crossed the coastline with a force that was overwhelming, and quickly attacked the forest on the shore…

The forests were like fragile foam, turning into nothingness in the hundred-meter-high waves, and it was a mess.

After submerging the forest on the shore, the slightly slower waves continued to move forward, forward, destroying everything in front of them…

In the blink of an eye, the west coast of the Elf Forest was submerged in a vast ocean.

Standing on the city street, Gando raised his head and looked at the top of his head in shock.

There, it was no longer the sky, but the boundless sea.

The sea water hit the defense barrier, making a creaking sound that made people’s teeth ache. The entire defense barrier protecting the city seemed to be broken at any time, allowing the world-destroying ocean to pour in.

On the ground, it became extremely dark because the ocean blocked the sunlight.

Finally, the terrifying wave seemed to have exhausted its power and began to slowly retreat. The sun reappeared above the divine defense barrier…

The elves also breathed a sigh of relief.

After holding on until the huge waves receded, the entire divine defense barrier finally consumed the last bit of power and shattered.

There was no way. Milovia’s divine defense barrier itself was built not long ago, and the accumulated power of faith was not enough.

It was not easy to resist this terrifying tsunami.

The power of natural disasters is terrible. The destructive power of the huge wave that was as high as 100 meters on the city is probably no less than the attack of a mythical being.

When the waves receded, the earth reappeared in front of them. Looking at the scene outside the city, the elves lost their voices.

The once beautiful coast has become a horrible sight. The continuous forests have collapsed in patches and turned into a pool of mud.

Except for Milovia, which was intact under the protection of the divine defense barrier, the entire west coast of the Elf Forest seemed to have suffered a world-destroying blow, and it was a miserable situation.

However, this is still not the end.

More exclamations came from all over the city:

“Look! In the water! Something is coming from the water!”

Following the exclamations of the tribesmen, Gando looked towards the shore.

On the muddy coastline, the sea water rolled, and hideous figures crawled out of the water one by one.

They had barbs and scales on their bodies, gills on their ears, and their eyes were scarlet.

Gando’s face was stern, and his expression changed slightly:

“Demon…”

Demon!

It turned out that the demon came out of the sea!

And it was a sea demon that was extremely rare in most abyssal planes and only widely distributed in the third layer of hell!

I saw sea monsters crawling out of the sea one after another, gathering on the shore, greedily breathing the air on the coast, looking towards the Elf Forest with hot and bloodthirsty eyes.

More and more demons came ashore, and soon they occupied the endless coastline. In the sea, the waves surged, and huge bodies emerged from the water one after another. They slowly appeared, and they turned out to be abyssal sea monsters!

At this time, Gando finally realized what was happening.

Looking at the more and more demons, his expression was very ugly:

“Demon Legion…”

These abyssal legions that invaded the world of Segos actually emerged from the ocean!

The demons climbed onto the coast and shook off the seawater on their bodies.

Then, they roared and rushed towards the elf city that had just been hit by the tsunami…

The alarm sounded again in the direction of the temple, and the light of the divine defense barrier reappeared.

But this time, after the tsunami just now, the divine defense barrier that rose again had become very dim, and many places could no longer be completely covered.

Looking at the demons rushing up, Gando’s expression became serious.

He gritted his teeth, took out the staff he had been carrying recently, raised it high, and ordered the tribesmen who had not yet recovered:

“Tribesmen! Don’t panic, pick up your weapons and keep them outside the defense barrier!”

As the former chief priest of the tribe, Ganduo had a high prestige among the frost elves.

Hearing his voice, the frost elves woke up one after another.

At this moment, the habit of carrying weapons with them at all times, which they had developed from living in the desolate wasteland for many years, came into play.

Without hesitation, they picked up the weapons they carried with them and rushed to the place where the divine defense barrier could not cover.

Both sides fought together.

Ganduo looked around and searched carefully, and finally found a Chosen One (a life-oriented player who did not participate in the battle) who had been stunned by the invading demons in the crowd.

He stepped forward and grabbed the other’s sleeve:

“Quick! Inform Lady Alice and His Excellency Li Mu that the demons have invaded the Elf Forest from the Endless Ocean!”

…

Eighty kilometers south of Zerolan, in the defense line built by the players.

Li Mu, who was drinking water in the tent, crushed the cup in his hand.

His expression changed slightly, and he looked more solemn than ever before:

“What did you say? The demons directly invaded the Elf Forest?”

Opposite him, another player nodded heavily:

“Yes, our guild member who stayed in Milovia saw it with his own eyes. The situation is not good. He sent a video, and I will share it with you now.”

Li Mu frowned, accepted the other party’s video sharing, and clicked it in the system.

When he saw the tsunami that seemed like a world-destroying natural disaster, his eyes suddenly sank…

Just from the video, he could see the horror of the tsunami. He didn’t dare to imagine what the scene would be like on the west bank of the Elf Forest after the tsunami…

Especially after the frost elves returned, they and many players built villages, strongholds and fields there, and most of those villages and strongholds were not protected by divine defense barriers.

After a tsunami, I don’t know how many are left.

After the tsunami, Li Mu saw the demons crawling out of the sea like a tide and attacking Milovia, and his face became more and more ugly.

He clenched the broken teacup in his hand, and he didn’t even notice that the teacup pierced his palm and bled.

“Damn it! Why did the demons come out from that direction?! Do they have other planes in the sea?!”

He threw the broken teacup to the ground, looking shocked and angry.

It was not easy to win a battle and see some hope, but I didn’t expect these abyss demons to steal the house!

But soon, Li Mu took a few deep breaths and calmed himself down.

Don’t be anxious, don’t be chaotic!

I am the commander-in-chief. If I am confused, how can I fight the next battle?

Calm down… I must be calm… The Elf Forest is the home of the elves and the home of the players. The demons are not at an advantage in fighting there.

Backing up is necessary.

The elves who stayed in the Elf Forest alone would suffer too much damage.

At the same time, Li Mu was becoming more and more confused.

The world of Segos is so big, why do the abyss demons seem to be at odds with them, and all of them are heading to the Forest of Elves?

He has been paying attention to the news on the continent, especially after the war began.

When the abyss began to invade, the demon army appeared in the south of the human empire.

However, after the demons occupied the southern border of the Holy Mannia Empire, their main force went straight to the Maple Moon Free Territory, leaving only a part of the combat force to continue attacking the human world.

It was as if they wanted to quickly destroy the elves.

This feeling of being targeted made Li Mu very unhappy.

But no matter what, the war still had to be fought. They lost so badly a few days ago. Even if they were robbed at this moment, it would only be a little worse.

Li Mu took a few deep breaths and adjusted his mentality.

Then, he came to the outside of the tent.

Outside the tent, the players were already furious.

As the news of the invasion of the Forest of Elves spread, the entire camp fell into chaos.

The voice of cursing the dog planner sounded again in the crowd. Many players have begun to waver, hesitating whether to return directly to the Forest of Elves.

It’s nothing. The Elf Forest is the home of the players. Everything they have is there. No one can sit still when they hear that their hometown has been attacked.

Li Mu was also in a heavy mood.

But he knew that the more it was at this time, the more he couldn’t make a mess.

He logged into the battlefield channel, calmed the panicked players, and then issued a new order:

“Notify the Mengmeng Committee, the First Legion, the All-Star Guild Alliance… and other guilds to go back to the Elf Forest for support!”

“Brother Mu, who will command? And what about the defense line here?”

Someone asked worriedly.

Li Mu’s expression became serious:

“The battle of the Elf Forest will be commanded by Demacia. He has many tricks and the terrain over there is complicated, which may allow him to play to his advantage. As for this side… the defense line has been reinforced almost these days, and Fengyue Territory has also provided several statues of the goddess. After the divine defense barrier is equipped, the pressure will be much less.”

“Demacia? Isn’t he doing tasks in other planes?”

Someone asked with a frown.

Li Mu was furious:

“What a bullshit mission! He just pretends to preach and then tricks the natives into developing offline! I will tell him to commit suicide and come back. If he dares not to come back, I will strip him of his position as vice president!”

After issuing the order to come back for help and calling for someone to commit suicide and come back in a roaring message on the friend channel, Li Mu found Alice again.

“Sir Alice, when will Her Majesty the Goddess take action? We can’t go on like this. This war is already stretched to its limits with our strength alone.”

He said seriously.

After hearing what Li Mu said, Alice fell into silence.

Looking at the commander of the Chosen One with bloodshot eyes and a tired look in front of her, her expression was a little complicated.

“It’s almost time. Please hold on a little longer. When Her Majesty the Goddess returns, victory will eventually belong to us.”

She comforted him in a gentle voice.

Li Mu’s eyes condensed:

“Return? Her Majesty the Goddess hasn’t come back yet? Is She still in the Mindel plane now?”

Alice hesitated for a moment and nodded gently.

Li Mu’s expression changed slightly:

“Is that rumor true? Is Her Majesty the Goddess unable to leave the Mindel plane? Hasn’t She defeated the Tree of Life?”

Alice did not hesitate and shook her head slowly.

“Lady Alice, what do you know? Can you please tell me! In this way, we will have confidence…”

Li Mu said earnestly.

As he spoke, his expression became heavier:

“It’s too difficult. This war has been going on until now. It’s really too difficult!”

“Now that the Elf Forest has been attacked, everyone’s morale that was once gathered has almost plummeted in an instant!”

“Everyone… needs an exciting news to persevere…”

Looking at Li Mu’s sincere eyes, Alice fell into hesitation.

The news that Her Majesty the Goddess was sleeping was a secret, and only she and several demigods in the entire church knew the reason.

Alice originally planned to keep this secret in her heart until Her Majesty the Goddess returned.

After all, half a year is enough time for a lot of things to happen. The more people know about this matter, the more likely it is that it will leak out and be known by the enemy.

This is not because Alice does not trust the Chosen Ones, but even if the Chosen Ones are revealed inadvertently, even if they are revealed to other Life believers, they may be spread by the mouths of Life believers again…

But looking at the tired Chosen One commander in front of her, the picture of the Chosen Ones fighting fearlessly flashed in her mind, and a trace of hesitation passed through her heart…

Although the Chosen Ones are not true believers, they have been fighting for Her Majesty the Goddess and the Forest of Elves from beginning to end.

The time for Her Majesty the Goddess to revive is also approaching.

Perhaps… it is time to let them know the truth.

At least, the Chosen One commander in front of her is trustworthy.

Sighing, Alice said:

“Her Majesty the Goddess is now in a deep sleep and has not yet awakened.”

“Sleeping?”

Li Mu was slightly stunned.

Alice nodded:

“Her Majesty the Goddess is preparing to ascend to a powerful divine power.”

As she spoke, her expression became solemn and her eyes were pious:

“When Her Majesty the Goddess wakes up, the war will be over!”

There will be another update tonight
