Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 250 - 244: Who Is She Really?

The Half-Beast Army was on the move.

Nearly 30,000 troops surged forward in a dark mass, their visual impact far exceeding that of the first siege.

This time, the siege by the Half-Beasts was not limited to the southern side of Black Dragon Castle; the other three sides combined also had tens of thousands of soldiers.

The few injured Bimong Giant Beasts had already had their wounds alleviated with the priests’ treatment.

This time, they charged toward Black Dragon Castle alongside the other five Bimong Giant Beasts that had not previously joined the battle, surrounded by the Half-Beasts.

And as the Half-Beasts advanced, the three Legendary Power totem Guardians floating in the sky moved slowly in the direction of Black Dragon Castle.

On the city wall, the players’ expressions finally turned serious.

"Oh man... this doesn’t feel right..."

"Can we really hold this?"

"The key is those Legendary Bosses in the sky!"

The two commanders among the players also wore grave expressions.

The number of troops sieging had tripled, and the Bimong Giant Beasts had doubled, while the number of players remained the same.

Upon discovering the emergence of three Legendaries from the enemy side, Black Dragon Mairrel refused to fly out, preferring only to spit disdainfully from the city edge.

With the Little Black Dragon staying hidden, the attacking Half-Beasts acted even more recklessly.

Li Mu pondered for a moment, then said,

"Let’s not hold back anymore, bring in the trebuchet and steam gun. At least complete the mission first, even if it means less experience!"

To gain experience, one had to use skills or personally slay the enemy.

But both the trebuchet and steam guns were hard to imbue with skills.

The former could at most have delayed-explosion magic cast on it, but the destructive power was limited, and the really deadly boulders and gunpowder did not yield experience.

The latter, while possibly effective against the non-magical Half-Beasts, did not yield any experience either.

Therefore... despite players having these two weapons ready, no one used them in the first wave since everyone was competing to use skills and earn experience points.

While you were playing with the trebuchet, others had already killed another Half-Beast.

However, given the seriousness of the situation now, there was no time to think about that anymore.

The experience from killing Half-Beasts was substantial, but failing the mission would be a grave mistake.

After Li Mu’s command, many melee players on the wall pulled out steam guns and joined the ranged players in shooting at the Half-Beasts.

Several assembled trebuchets began hurling boulders and explosives into the Half-Beast ranks.

As for biochemical weapons... they were disregarded.

Players aimed to swiftly harm the besieging Half-Beasts now.

The thirty-thousand Half-Beasts besieging a small castle had a rather dense formation.

This dense formation, at this moment, played to the players’ advantage.

In no time, steam guns roared and explosives boomed...

Cry of pain echoed from the Half-Beast Army as they were hit by steam gun bullets, smashed into pulp by falling boulders, or blown to pieces by hurled explosives...

This unexpected assault caused slight chaos within the Half-Beast Army, suddenly stalling their high morale.

Their dense formation made it difficult for the Half-Beasts to dodge in time, resulting in significant casualties.

The three totem Guardians in mid-air, however, were indifferent to the casualties among the Half-Beasts below.

They simply hovered in the air, coldly watching Black Dragon Castle, seemingly waiting for something.

Lionheart King Imush, watching the boulders launching out from Black Dragon Castle and hearing the roar of the steam guns, showed a dramatic expression:

"Trebuchet? And... steam guns? Where did these elves get these things?!"

The day’s two sieges had already surprised him too much.

He maintained a stern expression, issuing orders to his subordinates to blow the trumpet to signal the attacking Half-Beasts to disperse their formation. Simultaneously, he shouted at the several totem Guardians in the sky,

"Divine Envoy, please act to destroy the elves’ trebuchets!"

Upon hearing Lionheart King Imush’s request, the three totem Guardians’ expressions turned serious.

They were solemnly watching Black Dragon Castle at that moment.

To be more precise, they were observing a certain dark silver-haired female elf standing atop the castle tower.

In truth, the three totem Guardians were communicating with each other through divine arts...

"These elves... are indeed peculiar!"

"Wait, there’s a strange divine power aura on the castle..."

"It’s a Divine Favored... the elf standing at the top is a Divine Favored!"

"Isn’t she the strong one among the Elf Clan that the believers just mentioned?"

"Becoming a Divine Favored is no small feat. The death of the Night Wanderer greatly angered Father God... let her feel Father God’s wrath now!"

"Be cautious, the new crown that gathered the elves hasn’t left the Segis Plane yet. With Her power, she might allow the Divine Favored to easily utilize Her strength..."

"Hmph, a mere high-ranking Divine Favored, just at a Gold Rank in strength. Even if she’s able to borrow True God’s power, what can she really do?"

"Don’t be careless, remember our mission, let’s probe first..."

After communicating, the totem Guardians exchanged glances and nodded.

Then, one of them pulled out an exquisite longbow from his back, light surged in his hands, and his aura continued to rise.

He aimed the longbow at a certain direction on the city wall, then drew the bowstring to its full length.

An unsettling energy wave gathered on the bowstring, finally transforming into a silver-gray light arrow. The Totem Guardian then let out a low shout and shot the arrow of light!

Ninth-order divine art—[Arrow of Light]!

The Arrow of Light soared ahead like a dazzling comet, instantly aiming toward Divine Favored Zero standing on the wall!

"Lord Ling! Look out!"

Alice, who had been watching the three totem Guardians in the sky, exclaimed hastily, her face changing color.

However, Divine Favored Zero simply raised her hands slightly.

She wore a devout expression, whispering something, and a brilliant Holy Light burst from her.

Accompanied by a heavenly hymn, myriad particles of light began to gather around her, eventually forming a gigantic divine-power arm behind.

An unsettling pressure spread, pushing players near Divine Favored Zero to involuntarily step back. The colossal divine-power arm hovered and clasped the Arrow of Light effortlessly!

Then, under the stunned gazes of the three totem Guardians and countless players’ exclamations, Divine Favored Zero manipulated the divine-power arm to gently wave, returning the Arrow of Light...

The Arrow of Light turned back, its speed undiminished, directly targeting the shooter among the totem Guardians!

That totem Guardian’s face transformed dramatically. He scrambled to raise his battle axe and struck down!

The battle axe clashed with the Arrow of Light, triggering a violent explosion...

The explosion resounded deafeningly, and a dazzling light engulfed everything.

A fireball nearly fifty meters in radius appeared on the battlefield...

The fireball surged upward, spawning a small mushroom cloud, quickly dissipating afterward...

After the booming noise, an exaggerated giant pit emitting white smoke remained.

The Half-Beasts within hundreds of meters had turned to ashes, without any remains...

There was a few seconds of silence on the previously noisy battlefield.

The shooting totem Guardian clumsily crawled out of the giant pit, coughing up a mouthful of silver blood, somewhat injured!

His expression was filled with shock and disbelief, "Legendary pinnacle? How is that possible?!"

The other two totem Guardians also wore serious expressions, their eyes filled with shock.

Equally shocked was the Half-Beast High Priest, who had remained at the rear of the army since the battle began.

The Chief Priest, looking at the Skull Necklace flickering in his hands, was equally puzzled:

"The divine artifact is flickering! The divine artifact is trembling!"

"It sensed the True God’s aura!"

"Who... exactly is she?!"
