Game of the World Tree - Chapter 679

679. Chapter 676: Holy War! This is… a holy war!

Players are a highly efficient group.

In fact, for any normal person, as long as there is a clear goal and sufficient motivation, they will burst out with strong action.

However, in most cases, people live in a muddle, without enough self-control and execution, so… In reality, various affairs are always delayed and complicated when they are implemented.

This is also the biggest difference between ordinary people and extraordinary people.

Of course, in the game, the game system helps players set goals, and the game rewards provide players with sufficient motivation. Here, even the laziest people in reality will subconsciously improve their efficiency.

With layers of superposition, the final action force is terrifying.

In reality, if you want to assemble an army of 100,000 people in the Middle Ages and prepare various combat supplies, it would be impossible without ten days and half a month, and it would be normal to take a month or several months.

But with the spur of the game system, in just less than three days, the players prepared enough supplies to support an army of 100,000 people for a month of fighting.

To put it bluntly, it is a matter of efficiency.

Gray Harbor was filled with all kinds of war supplies, such as spare standard equipment, arrows needed by archer players, and mass-produced magic stone bombs. There were

also a wide variety of dry food processed from various crops, various fruits preserved by natural magic that could not be named, and even some brewed beer and fruit wine, which filled up cart after cart.

This was just the public strategic supplies prepared by various guilds. If the items carried by the players were added, there would be more.

After five years of development, the Elf Forest has finally formed a huge production capacity. At this moment, it is running at full capacity for the same goal, and the effect is amazing.

The players showed it vividly.

However, the task system did not give a specific date for the battle. The task was officially launched only when the number of applicants reached 100,000.

After discussion by the player combat department and referring to the wishes of the task entruster Sophia, the battle date was finally set to one week after the start of the task.

Of course, it was Segs time.

If converted to Blue Star time, it would be almost two days later.

This is also to give players time to prepare and adjust.

After the previous large-scale war missions, everyone understands that this kind of war plot is quite time-consuming. It is necessary to adjust the game time and plan the personnel arrangements of each legion in advance according to the time when different participants can go online, so as to avoid the situation where players are offline on a large scale during the battle…

This is possible.

For example, if there is an encounter battle during the daytime on a weekday, the number of participants will be very embarrassing.

So… In the previous large-scale war missions, players often choose the attack time on the weekend in reality.

Fortunately, it is summer vacation on Blue Star now, which is a good time for the majority of students to go on missions.

Among the players of “Elf Kingdom”, the majority are college students with the most free time. Summer vacation and so on… It’s perfect for playing games.

While preparing supplies, players whose strength still has room for improvement also began to brush the book crazily, intending to improve their strength as much as possible before the war officially starts.

Of course, this is a later story.

In short, a hidden mission can be regarded as a thorough mobilization of the power of the entire server.

Even the discussion on the official forum was flooded with topics related to this war mission, with people seeking to purchase various materials, recruiting people, explaining the battle plan, and popularizing the current situation of the human empire.

And in such intensive preparations, time finally came to the day when the player’s combat department planned to attack…

…

Elf Forest, Gray Harbor Wharf.

A merchant ship with a lily of the valley flag slowly approached the shore and lowered the sloop.

The white sails were slowly retracted, and the sailors jumped off the ship and secured the ship with ropes.

Some ragged civilians also walked onto the deck, breathing the fresh air, and looked at the elf city on the shore with curiosity and envy.

They were all civilians fleeing from Maple Leaf Territory, and their final destination was the northern part of the empire.

Accompanied by several sailors, a well-dressed merchant walked off the ship. He looked around the dock and his eyes lit up slightly when he saw an elf on duty at the dock management office.

He took two steps at a time, twisted his fat body, and trotted to the elf, saying flatteringly and enthusiastically:

“This… Lord Elf! I am Erich, the president of the Silver Bell Orchid Chamber of Commerce. I want to replenish supplies in Gray Harbor.”

After hearing his words, the elf raised his head and glanced at him:

“Silver Bell Orchid Chamber of Commerce? Transporting refugees again?”

“Yes, yes, it’s true. Business is not good in this chaotic time. We can only do these things.”

Erich wiped the sweat off his forehead and sighed.

The elf didn’t say much, just nodded slightly, and said:

“Do you understand the rules?”

“Yes, yes, yes!”

Erich nodded repeatedly, and took out a piece of parchment from his arms:

“This is what we saw and heard along the way in Maple Leaf Territory. Maple Leaf Territory has been very unstable recently and is getting more and more chaotic… It is said that the Border Earl has begun to bloody force the people to convert… Oh, no, now we should call him His Majesty the Red Maple…”

The elf took the parchment with the information, read it carefully, took a screenshot calmly and sent it to the guild group, nodded:

“Okay, no problem, you can do it.”

After that, he wrote a note to the merchant, saying:

“Hand the note and the payment to the guard in front of the dock, and someone will transport the supplies to you when the time comes.”

“Thank you, Lord Elf!”

Erich was delighted.

He put the note away happily, and glanced at the heavily guarded dock and the elven mercenaries in the city that were obviously more than usual. He felt something in his mind and couldn’t help asking:

“Um… Lord Elf, what happened in Grey Harbor? Why do I feel that there are more and more mercenaries?”

However, he was only greeted with a meaningful smile from the elf:

“You’ll know later.”

“Later…later?”

Erich was slightly stunned.

He looked at the elf, but the other party seemed unwilling to say more, so he had to give up asking further questions.

However, when he couldn’t help looking at the time of Gray Harbor City, he became more and more curious.

“Could it be that another elf mercenary was hired by the Empire?”

He muttered.

He handed the note and the payment for the purchase of supplies to the elf guard at the dock, and soon an elf with a cart delivered the supplies.

However, Erich keenly noticed that the speed of delivering supplies today seemed very fast…

“So fast? Was it prepared in advance?”

He frowned in confusion.

Looking at the heavily guarded dock and the obviously abnormal number of elf mercenaries, Erich’s heart moved, and he remembered some rumors he had heard recently…

It is said that the Forest of Elves seems to have purchased a large number of war horses and equipment in the underground black market recently, and it seems that there will be some big moves.

In addition to the collection of intelligence on Maple Leaf Territory…

Could it be… Is it going to fight?

Could it be Maple Leaf Territory?

Erich’s expression moved slightly.

He had heard that the Empire had extended an olive branch to the Forest of Elves some time ago.

But… it seems to have been rejected by the Elf Forest.

This was the news from the Empire, but he, who was well-informed, knew that there seemed to be something else going on.

However, he glanced at the boats on the shore and quickly shook his head.

No…

it shouldn’t be that bad.

The world’s largest river, the Vimur River, spans between the Elf Forest and the Maple Leaf Territory.

If there was really going to be any big move, the elves would have prepared all kinds of ferries long ago, but now there are more boats on the dock than usual, but not much more.

However, although he rejected his own idea, Erich still recorded what he saw and heard in Gray Harbor, intending to sell it for a good price after returning to the north of the Empire.

Taking both ends and reselling intelligence is the usual practice of black market merchants.

However, just as he was secretly recording what he saw and heard in the pocket book he carried with him, he suddenly heard a long roar like a tidal wave coming from the direction of Gray Harbor.

It seemed that thousands of people were shouting together, and the sound was so loud that even the dock under his feet was shaking slightly.

Erich’s expression changed slightly, and he quickly looked towards the city. He didn’t know what happened in the city, but he vaguely heard Elvish words such as “goddess” and “glory”.

The next moment, accompanied by a burst of exclamations, Erich suddenly felt the sky darken.

“God, what is that?!”

“Monster, is this a monster?!”

Following the exclamations of the people, Erich subconsciously looked towards the sky, and saw a huge ellipsoidal object flying from the city of Gray Harbor…

It was about a few hundred meters above the ground, huge in size, in black and white, with a black dragon emblem and a scepter symbol engraved on the side.

It was a Zeppelin airship made by the players.

Erich didn’t know what an airship was.

But seeing such a huge thing, he couldn’t help but open his eyes wide and couldn’t help but whisper:

“My God… what is this?”

There were no wings, no magic light.

However, it was flying in the sky…

This existence beyond common sense shocked Erich and filled him with astonishment.

The airship was just the beginning.

After the airship flew overhead, Erich heard the roar of dragons and the cry of eagles again…

He subconsciously looked toward the horizon again, and saw countless dense figures behind the “monster”.

They were flying monsters.

There were giant eagles, griffins, and dragons…

Looking around, there were probably thousands of them!

Each flying monster had at least one elf riding on it, and they followed behind the airship, covering the entire sky.

They were arranged in a scattered formation and slowly flew towards the direction of Maple Leaf Territory.

Erich stared at this scene blankly, his expression shocked.

It was not until the sailor pushed him that he reacted.

“Lord Erich, look! Look at the city!”

The sailor pointed to the city of Gray Harbor.

Erich shuddered, then looked in the direction of the sailor’s finger, and saw a large number of fully armed elves appearing on the streets of the city.

Most of them were wearing uniform uniforms, riding on horses or various magical beasts, and surrounding a beautiful and holy goddess statue that was shining brightly, and rushing towards the shore.

The endless team made Erich tremble with fear.

At this time, if he still didn’t know what the elves were doing, he would have been in the black market for so many years in vain.

“Maple Leaf Territory, their target must be Maple Leaf Territory!”

His expression was a little excited.

But soon, a trace of doubt arose in his heart.

The elves that just flew over were fine.

What were these elf knights going to do when they came to the shore?

He looked around and didn’t see any extra ferries on the shore.

Erich’s doubts didn’t last long.

Surrounded by the elves, he saw a half-elf girl in a priest’s skirt coming to the shore.

The girl looked familiar, and Erich felt as if he had seen her somewhere, but he didn’t recognize her for a while.

Until a fellow sailor exclaimed, awakening his memory:

“Miss Sophia! Lord Erich, isn’t this the ‘Pearl’ of Zerolan, Miss Sophia?!”

Sophia…!

Thinking of this name, Erich finally understood.

But soon, he was surprised again:

She was actually in the Elf Forest?

What was she going to do?

Erich looked at the half-elf girl surrounded by the elves curiously, with a look of astonishment on his face.

Then, he saw the girl suddenly kneel down, put her hands on her chest, hold a scepter-like necklace tightly, and close her eyes to pray.

The bright light gathered on her body and turned into countless flying golden photons.

Under Erich’s astonished eyes, he saw the earth suddenly tremble, the mud on the shore suddenly turned over, and a green vine grew out of it.

The vine continued to grow, getting bigger and bigger, and at the same time, it continued to branch, sprout, and spread towards the sky, quickly stretching to the other side of the river.

In just a moment, a huge “bridge” made of vines appeared above the Vimur River.

Erich stared at this scene blankly, his mouth wide open in shock:

“Miracle… This… This is a miracle! She has become a person favored by God!”

He turned his head suddenly and stared at the elves who were moving towards the vine bridge. He finally understood why there was no ferry on the river bank…

With this vine bridge, the elves don’t need a ferry at all!

Miracles appeared, priests joined the battle, and in the long team, there was a holy and beautiful statue of the goddess of life held high by the elves…

At this moment, the knowledgeable Erich suddenly realized in his heart:

“Holy war! This is a holy war! The elves are going to launch a holy war against the Maple Leaf Territory!”

_(:з」∠)_ I didn’t write out the momentum I wanted… I’m too bad
