Game of the World Tree - Chapter 889

Chapter 885: Unexpected Wars Between the Parties

When the first ray of sunlight penetrated the darkness, illuminated the earth, and brought the dawn of a new day, the battle outside the city of Ogus was completely over.

Flocks of crows hovered over the battlefield, making unpleasant “cuckoo” sounds. The open battlefield had been soaked in blood and turned black and red.

Abandoned tattered armor and broken weapons were scattered everywhere, and from time to time, you could see the overturned siege vehicles and siege towers that were still burning.

Hideous and terrifying corpses were everywhere, densely packed, but a considerable number of them had been stripped of their equipment.

The tattered noble flags were either inserted diagonally into the ground, or had long been trampled, or like the burning siege equipment, slowly turned into ashes in the flames.

On the battlefield, tall figures were busy, either picking up the relatively intact equipment on the ground, or stripping armor and weapons from the horrible corpses without any trouble or disgust.

They were the elf players participating in the war.

Most of their equipment was already scarred and stained with blood, and many people lost their Warcraft mounts in this battle.

However, they won this battle after all.

The entire battle lasted for a day and a night, and the outcome of the battle was not in doubt.

Even though the Northern Legion of the Empire had formed a massive army of 700,000, the continuous attacks and infighting for many days had already exhausted the entire legion, and its cohesion had fallen to the bottom.

Facing the charge of the elf cavalry, they simply could not organize any effective resistance…

and the most direct result was that the 700,000-strong army was directly overwhelmed by the players’ cavalry troops, which were like gods descending from heaven.

A spectacular rout was staged on the battlefield outside the entire city of Ogus.

The most ironic thing is that a considerable number of noble soldiers in the 700,000-strong army were not killed by the players, but fell and were trampled to death by their own people in the chaotic rout.

This was also the main source of corpses on the entire battlefield.

Except for some nobles who managed to organize their own soldiers to break through the siege and escape successfully, nearly 70% of the coalition forces were destroyed in this vast land within a day and a night…

Arthur, the commander of the garrison of Ogus City, stood on the hillside, looking at the vast battlefield, with a look of shock, and besides the shock, there was also a sense of illusion like a dream.

He never thought that the entire 700,000-strong imperial coalition forces would be destroyed in this way. That’s

right, destroyed.

70% of the army was killed on the spot, and the remaining legions collapsed completely, which was enough to be called a complete annihilation.

And all of this was done by the Elven Chosen in a nearly miraculous way.

He felt that he would never forget the spectacular charge of the Elven cavalry a day and a night ago.

He could no longer imagine that there was any army in this world that was more powerful than the Elven Chosen.

“How is it, Mr. Arthur, how does it feel to win?”

A familiar voice sounded behind him, with a little smile.

Arthur turned around and saw All-Star Ah Dai standing behind him, playing with a beautiful weapon that was obviously a noble command sword.

Arthur was stunned and said with emotion:

“I didn’t expect it, I really didn’t expect it…”

“Didn’t expect us to win so quickly?”

All-Star Ah Dai asked back.

Arthur nodded and said a little dizzy:

“Yes, I thought we would fight a very difficult war, but I didn’t expect the victory to come so suddenly…”

“Hahaha, it’s our good luck, and the Imperial Army is too lame. To be honest, I didn’t expect it to be so easy to fight.”

All-Star Ah Dai laughed.

The two talked for a few words, and Arthur asked again:

“By the way, do we have to chase those fleeing Imperial nobles? Duke Rosen and Earl Mis seem to have escaped.”

“No need.”

All-Star Ah Dai shook his head.

As he said that, he smiled:

“Don’t worry, they can’t run away.”

…

The border of the Western Territory.

A group of rogue soldiers composed of hundreds of embarrassed noble knights were stumbling and fleeing towards the north.

Most of them had lost their weapons and were in a state of embarrassment, with expressions full of fear and confusion.

Among them were Joseph, the Duke of Rosen, and Count Mis, who were carried by their own guards to flee, with disheveled hair and pale faces.

Joseph had long lost the high spirits he had a few days ago.

His face was pale, bloodless, and his eyes were dull and desperate.

Before the war, there were 700,000 troops.

Now, only these hundreds of people have escaped with him.

Among them, there are less than 200 people who really belong to their Rosen family.

And the other tens of thousands of defeated soldiers have long been unknown to where they have fled to…

A miserable defeat…

A n*ked miserable defeat!

In just two days, the coalition forces formed by the nobles of all sizes in the western part of the empire withdrew in such a ridiculous way.

Joseph didn’t even dare to think about what this result would bring…

He only knew that he was finished.

Such a huge loss would definitely cause dissatisfaction in the Imperial Parliament.

What’s more serious is that their Rosen family may even be deprived of the title of Elector.

This battle was a huge blow to the Rosen family.

The army that the family had finally built up after the last annihilation was destroyed, and now it has vanished once again.

They may not be able to organize enough forces to fight against the Imperial Parliament for a long time.

Tragic.

The price… is too heavy!

Thinking about it, Joseph couldn’t help but feel grief from the heart, and he actually sobbed.

As a duke, he cried bitterly, and the nobles and guards who followed him to escape couldn’t hold back, and the crying gradually rose and fell in the team.

Until his voice was hoarse from crying, Joseph suddenly raised his head and looked angrily at the Count of Mis on the other side with a gloomy face:

“It’s you! It’s all because of you, you idiot! If it weren’t for your stupidity, how could we have suffered such a great defeat?!”

Hearing Joseph’s scolding, the other nobles also cast angry and resentful eyes at Earl Mis.

Feeling the resentful gazes piercing his body, Earl Mis numbly turned his eyes away.

He remained silent, but the hand that was leaning on the broken sword trembled even more.

“Think of it in a better way, at least… we all escaped, and as long as we escape, we can continue to recruit new troops and fight back again…”

A noble sighed and said.

After this, many dejected nobles also regained their spirits and began to think about how to save their families after the great defeat in order to minimize the losses of their families…

However, at this moment, a loud dragon roar came from the sky.

“Giant dragon?”

Some defeated soldiers raised their heads and looked towards the sky like frightened birds.

Above the sky, a majestic dragon was constantly circling, and on the back of the dragon, a tall figure could be vaguely seen.

Seeing that familiar look, the nobles and the defeated soldiers all turned pale.

The previous battle had already left them with a deep psychological shadow on the elves.

“Oh no! It’s the Elf Dragon Riders!”

“They saw us!”

“Run! Run!”

All of a sudden, the defeated team fell into great panic and instantly accelerated their escape.

However, before they could escape too far, the familiar sound of iron hooves came from all directions, accompanied by rolling dust, and the elven cavalry that frightened every noble and soldier appeared in their sight again.

This time, the elves did not come from the back, but from the front.

They were the player troops wandering in the western territory, not participating in the battle, and were specifically responsible for chasing and killing the defeated soldiers.

Soon, the defeated noble team was surrounded, and long spears were placed on their necks.

A player who was obviously the commander of the legion turned over and got off the dragon-scale horse and walked out of the crowd.

He looked at Joseph, who looked ashen, and then at Count Mis, whose eyes were empty. After comparing them with the screenshots of the portraits sent in the battlefield channel, he laughed:

“Hahaha! Look what we found?”

After laughing, he became serious and gave an order:

“Catch them and bring them back to Ogus City!”

After speaking, in the desperate sight of the nobles, the elves rushed up and tied them up.

…

When the news of the annihilation of the Northern Army was reported back to the center of the empire, the upper class of the entire Holy Mannia Empire was shocked.

Less than two months after the war began, in just the first battle, a full 700,000 troops were wiped out.

If this unbelievable news had not been confirmed by many parties, it would be impossible to believe it was true…

However, the shock of the empire’s top leaders was just the beginning.

Because they were soon numb to the shock of one bad news after another.

The northern battlefield was just one of the battlefields of the entire Great Holy War.

At the same time as the northern battle ended, battles broke out in the eastern battlefield, the southern battlefield, and the battlefield of the Death Desert.

On every battlefield, the players faced tens to millions of noble coalition forces. On every battlefield, the Life Church’s military strength was far inferior to that of the Eternal Church.

However, it was not just the northern battlefield. After the battles broke out on various battlefields, the war situation was shocking one after another.

In the Death Desert.

The Mengmeng Committee, with Sandstorm City as the core, fought one battle after another with the invading Aeris Kingdom coalition forces in the desert with more than 200,000 player legions and 100,000 reinforcements from the Underworld.

The number of Aeris Kingdom’s troops far exceeded that of the Elf Coalition, but with the advantages of terrain and resurrection, the players defeated the Aeris Kingdom’s army and almost drove it out of the Death Desert.

In the eastern part of Maple Moon Free Territory.

The defense forces of the Heart of Nature and the main force of Maple Moon Free Territory defended the territory and fought again and again with the strongest Eastern Coalition.

Although the number of people on both sides was very different, they fought evenly under Li Mu’s superb command.

The entire Eastern War Zone turned into a cruel meat grinder.

In the rear, the players’ Rangers promoted Demacia’s tactics, turned the rear of the Eastern Legion upside down, and almost cut off the logistics line of the Eastern Coalition.

In the end, the Eastern Coalition, which was under increasing pressure, had to give up the fierce attack and confronted the Maple Moon Free Territory.

In the Southern Territory, where the players’ overall strength was the weakest, the situation was even more surprising.

The Way Seeker Alliance formed by Frank broke out with extremely strong combat power, and together with the players’ Scourge Knights, they launched a fierce battle with the Southern Legion of the Empire.

Although the losses were heavy, the Southern Legion of the Empire could no longer move forward after occupying less than half of the territory of the Southern Territory, but fell into the vast ocean of guerrilla warfare composed of players and believers of life…

Since the beginning of the Great Crusade, the momentum of millions of troops on the side of the human kingdom to sweep everything was frustrated one after another not long after the war began.

That is, the first legion facing the War God Coalition in the north of the Elf Forest was under great pressure.

However, after the War God Army, which was mainly composed of the Orcs, began to attack the Forest of Elves, the Dragonborn Kingdom in the northeast of the continent launched an attack with the Half-Dragon Free Council and many affiliated forces behind the War God Army, which greatly reduced the pressure on the Forest of Elves.

More subtly, after the outbreak of the war, the players gradually discovered that the Orc Alliance’s fighting spirit did not seem to be as strong as imagined.

After the fierce battle at the beginning, they seemed to be more like pretending and dawdling.

The war situation on the entire continent, except for the northern battlefield, fell into a strange state of confrontation.

And this state of confrontation did not last too long.

After the remaining few player fronts that were not attacked entered the battle, the balance of the war began to quickly tilt towards the elves.

Several border cities that had fallen in the Maple Moon Free Territory were quickly recaptured, and the Southern Territory also had a tendency to counterattack.

The continuous news of defeats was transmitted from the front line to the rear of the human kingdom, and the entire human upper class fell into a state of confusion and panic.

They never expected that their overall strength was several times greater than that of the other side, but after the war, they would be so badly beaten.

It was clearly a thousand years ago that the punitive coalition led by the human army was invincible when fighting against the Church of Nature.

It was not until this time that the players suddenly realized that they thought they would face a difficult situation against them, but they never expected that it would be a smooth battle…

The noble coalition of the human world was far worse than they had imagined.

In other words, it was not just that the fallen noble soldiers were too weak, but also that the players who had the game system and the ability to resurrect were too strong…

As the news of victory after victory was passed back to the Elf Forest, the morale of the players became stronger and stronger, and their fighting spirit became more and more high.

However, some sharp-minded people vaguely discovered the problem.

“Something’s wrong…very wrong.”

On the eastern battlefield, Li Mu rode his unicorn on a hill, looking down at the player troops chasing the defeated imperial army, and frowned slightly:

“The imperial army seems too weak…”

“Hey, Brother Mu, it’s not that they are too weak, but that we are too strong!”

The player of Nature’s Heart beside him said proudly.

However, Li Mu shook his head slightly:

“No…”

As he said that, he looked into the distance, his eyes gradually becoming solemn:

“Let me ask you, until now, have you ever seen a legendary professional, or in other words, a legion of Judgment Knights?”

After hearing his words, the players of Nature’s Heart were all stunned.

They looked at each other, someone frowned and thought for a moment, then said uncertainly:

“Maybe… it’s not time for them to appear yet? Just like they are weak first and strong later, they will appear after they defeat the noble troops?”

Li Mu: …

He looked at the other person speechlessly and shook his head gently:

“It’s time now, haven’t you changed your mind? Don’t judge “Elf Kingdom” by the logic of clearing levels and killing monsters in other games. This is not just a simple game, it’s more like a ‘real world’, and all the plot logic is also based on the development of reality.”

After that, Li Mu pondered for a moment and said meaningfully:

“But no matter what, it is right to strike at the human kingdom and weaken the power of the Eternal Church. Now that most of the combat power of the human nobles is tied down by us, it’s time to use the power that has been prepared for a long time.”

“The flame that burns the human world can be ignited…”

Recommend a friend’s book: “Jujutsu Kaisen: I Have a Gardevoir”. Just look at the name and you will know that it is a Jujutsu Kaisen fan work, integrating Pokémon elements.
