Game of the World Tree - Chapter 321

321. Chapter 319: The Elf Army Ambush

“This… used to be the Rock Cave Tribe?”

Looking at the dilapidated ruins in front of her, Cynthia’s voice was filled with a hint of disbelief.

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

On the ground, you can still vaguely recognize the faint traces of blood, but it has completely turned black.

The entire ruins seemed to have been turned over and was in a mess.

“There was a battle here, I’m afraid… at least three months, and from the traces at the scene, it’s like a village that has been robbed by bandits, nothing is left. The Rock Cave Tribe, I’m afraid it was destroyed.”

Keynes said in a deep voice.

“Three months…”

Cynthia murmured, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

The largest Orc tribe near the Elf Forest was actually destroyed quietly three months ago, and after so much time, there was no news around!

What… did they encounter?

What… happened here?

Moreover, it’s just a poor Orc tribe. What good things can there be that people are robbing? Robbing junk?

The more the two mercenary leaders thought about it, the more alert they became, but at the same time they were puzzled.

Judging from the traces at the scene, the Rock Cave Tribe seemed to have experienced an attack by mountain bandits, and it was the kind of powerful mountain bandits who wiped them out without making a sound.

But… these are orcs!

What is there to rob from their junk?

And… this area is the sphere of influence of the orcs, where did the bandits come from?

“Could it be… the black dragon? Or, was it done by the black dragon’s dependent race?”

Cynthia asked.

“Black dragon… an underage black dragon should not be able to quietly destroy the Rock Cave Tribe. Being able to quietly destroy the orc tribe… this is probably a very brutal force, and… the population is probably very large!”

Keynes said with a frown.

After hearing what Keynes said, Cynthia frowned even more.

She looked around again, and suddenly her expression changed:

“Look! There are a lot of footprints here!”

Cairns stood up and looked in the direction she pointed, and saw dense and messy footprints.

The footprints seemed to be human, and there seemed to be some monsters mixed in, and there were a lot of them.

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

“These are new footprints, definitely no more than one day old!”

Cynthia murmured.

Cairns narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly stretched out his feet and gestured with the footprints.

“Huh?”

After a moment, he let out a light exclamation.

“What’s wrong?”

Cynthia asked curiously.

Cairns’ expression was a little surprised, a little confused, and a little surprised:

“These footprints… seem to belong to elves!”

“Elves?!”

Cynthia was slightly stunned.

After hearing what the other party said, she looked carefully again, and indeed found some characteristics that only elves have.

Both mercenary groups have done elf business and hunted elves, and they are still very discerning of elf footprints. Looking so carefully, they really found the difference.

“It really seems to be the footprints of elves! But… where do so many elves come from? Could they be the ones that were cheated away by the southern nobles before?”

Cynthia was surprised and confused.

The surprise was that if there were really elves here, then they would probably make a fortune again, and the confusion was that these footprints… seemed to be too many.

Keynes was about to say something, but suddenly heard a loud dragon roar from a distance…

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

No, that’s not a castle anymore.

I saw a circle of solid walls built outside the castle. The walls looked very new, and it was probably not completed long ago.

Even the castle seemed to have been carefully repaired.

And a mighty black dragon was hovering over the castle.

“The black dragon’s lair!”

The two men’s eyes lit up.

They had just been shocked by the ruins in front of them, and they didn’t realize that the black dragon’s nest they had been looking for was right in front of them!

However, before they could be happy, their expressions became serious almost in an instant…

The repaired castle, the destroyed cave tribe, and the dense footprints that seemed to be elves…

As if they thought of something, the leaders of the two mercenary groups almost subconsciously looked around.

The cave tribe was built on the mountain, with a low terrain, and the other three sides were dense forests, which looked like… a pocket.

This terrain… If something happened, it didn’t seem good.

The two of them almost had this thought at the same time.

At this time, a breeze suddenly blew.

Countless birds flew out of the forest, chirping, as if they were frightened by something…

“Not good!”

In an instant, the two mercenary group leaders stood up almost at the same time.

As soon as they finished speaking, they heard a whistling sound of breaking wind, and a series of arrows flashing with skill brilliance flew out from the surrounding forest, directly shooting at the mercenaries gathered near the ruins of the Rock Cave Tribe.

These arrows were so unexpected that the mercenaries on the periphery were hit by arrows before they could even come to their senses.

After a face-to-face encounter, dozens of mercenaries fell to the ground with exclamations and screams, and their lives and deaths were unknown.

For a moment, the mercenaries gathered here immediately became chaotic.

“Ambush! This is an ambush! We’ve been tricked!”

Almost at the same time, the two captains realized what was happening.

They were shocked and angry, suspicious and horrified.

And just after the arrows fell, a crazy and enthusiastic shout rang out from all around.

Accompanied by chaotic and excited shouts of “Ulla!” “Oh ah ah ah!”, tall figures suddenly rushed out of the surrounding forest.

Gorgeous equipment, handsome or beautiful faces, they were actually elves!

“Elves?!”

Seeing the hundreds of elves suddenly appearing, the mercenaries’ expressions were very exciting.

But soon, this excitement turned into excitement.

Elves!

They actually encountered elves!

And… these elves actually rushed towards them stupidly!

Lord of Eternity, these are shining gold pounds!

Even though dozens of their companions had just been shot dead by the elves, when they saw these elves, the mercenaries’ original panic and confusion quickly turned into excitement.

Which of the mercenaries in Maple Leaf Territory had not participated in elf hunting?

They were very familiar with this kind of weak fighting power, timid, but priceless long ears.

It was just that their archery skills were better, and they were as weak as they could be in close combat!

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 waved their weapons, yelled, crowded, and cheered, like a group of lunatics.

And the eyes they looked at the mercenaries were like wild wolves seeing their prey!

Fierce, excited, crazy…

Such eyes made the mercenaries take a step back unconsciously.

And just when the mercenaries were in doubt,

countless figures jumped out of the forest with shouts one after another…

Their shouts were deafening, and the figures were densely packed.

The expressions of the two captains suddenly became solemn.

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

And they… were surrounded in an instant.

Thanks to the ridiculous sword for the 500-point reward!
