Archdemon

Sylvia strode out of the room and stood outside. After seeing her figure, other elves in the settlement also came out of the room.

These elves had different expressions. Some were in pain and couldn't stop crying. Some looked at Sylvia with hatred. If it weren't for her father, the wood elves would not have suffered this disaster.

"Everyone... I'm sorry..." Sylvia bowed deeply to the elves around her.

"I know everyone is sad and in pain... But now is not the time to be sad...

We still have many tribesmen in the sea of ​​trees waiting for us to rescue them..."

"What can we save? If it weren't for your father...!" An elf girl shouted in pain. Almost all of her relatives died in this incident.

"Did you know something in advance..."

"Don't listen to her nonsense. Let's return to the sea of ​​trees quickly..."

The words of the tribesmen around her pierced Sylvia's heart like a sharp blade. She was in pain and couldn't speak.

She bowed deeply again, tears streaming down her face, and said in a hoarse voice: "If we go back now, it will not help the situation...

We have to stay here with humans, persuade the humans here to send troops, and ask the legendary wizard to lead the army into the sea of ​​trees to aid our people. Only in this way can we best help our people!"

"Not only that, we have to send another team to the Gnoll Empire...

If possible, let the Gnoll Empire also send troops to support the sea of ​​trees. If it is not possible, at least let the Gnolls not attack humans when humans support us!"

After Sylvia finished speaking, the tears on her face had not yet disappeared. She looked at the others quietly. At this moment, her emerald green hair was even gradually turning gray.

After listening to Sylvia's words, many elves, some were thinking about her words, and some were immersed in pain and could not extricate themselves. For a while, the scene was quiet.

Roland was standing upstairs. After hearing Sylvia's words, he returned to the room.

When he came out again, he was wearing armor and holding an elven sword. His face was calm, and there was no other change except for the slightly red eyes.

He slowly walked down the stairs with the sword in his hand. The armor on his body made a faint friction sound during his movements. He slowly passed through the crowded crowd.

At this quiet moment, Roland's actions were undoubtedly beyond everyone's expectations. Many elves' eyes had followed Roland, and even Sylvia's eyes were looking at him.

Roland's expression was serious until he walked in front of Sylvia.

He knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice:

"Your Highness, I believe what you said, and I firmly believe that you can lead us to rescue our people...

Your Highness... I will swear here with my life, dedicate everything to you, and before I fall, I will protect you forever with my life...

My soul after death will also turn into the wind of nature to protect your territory. My loyalty is my armor, and my blood will be sprinkled on the battlefield with glory...

My sword is here, and the world tree will bless it to be sharp forever. Unless its master bows his head, it will never break...

This oath... until the demon is driven back to the abyss, until the fire of my life and soul is extinguished, until... the end of the world...!"

After that, Roland lowered his head, raised the elf sword above his head with both hands, and waited for Sylvia's choice.

Roland didn't know if what he did was right, but he knew that it was time for him to stand up.

In the memory of the previous life, because of the betrayal of the Elf King Adrian, the elves in the mission were divided into several factions, and few people listened to Sylvia's words.

This took Sylvia a long time to convince the other elves, and finally went to the legendary wizard's wizard tower to negotiate with the adult.

When the human army was dispatched, it had been a long time since the gate of the abyss was opened.

Roland was confused. He didn't know whether he should wait for Sylvia to reintegrate the other elves in the mission as in the previous life.

He didn't know whether his leading role could help Sylvia integrate the mission.

But when he saw Sylvia's hair turn gray in an instant, he made his own choice. Even if it was to help her one day earlier, it was worth it.

After integrating the elves in the mission one day earlier, Sylvia could convince the legendary wizard one day earlier, and the human reinforcements could set off one day earlier.

Roland felt that he had to stand up, even if it was just for one try.I want to live my life again and walk the same old path as in my last life.

Sylvia stared at Roland who was kneeling on one knee in front of her. She didn't know this elf guard, but he was the first person to stand up and support her at this time.

In the crowd, Erica, one of Sylvia's maids, also covered her mouth in surprise, and the tears on her face had not been wiped away.

She looked at Roland kneeling in front of Sylvia in disbelief. Is this tall young elf the Roland she knew, the elf warrior who pursued and harassed her?

After Sylvia looked around at the elves around her, she took a deep breath and reached out to grab the elf sword that Roland raised with both hands.

She held the elven sword, placed the blade on Roland's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Knight... I accept your loyalty.

I believe... your courage and honor will become our role models, your sword will kill all enemies for me, and your loyalty will turn into armor to protect me!"

The other elves looked at this scene blankly, some were still crying in pain, and some were at a loss as to what to do.

But Roland's move worked. This delegation itself was gathered by Sylvia's personality charm. Some of them were Sylvia's pursuers, and some agreed with her ideas.

These people were originally in a state of confusion. In their previous life, they were betrayed and vented their anger on Sylvia.

But this time with Roland taking the lead, everything was different.

Soon, other people came out, knelt on one knee in front of Sylvia, and swore allegiance to her.

More and more people knelt on one knee in front of Sylvia, reciting the oath of allegiance.

This was not surprising. These young elf boys and girls admired Sylvia very much. Even without Roland in the previous life, Sylvia still succeeded in convincing others.

This time, Roland just played a leading role and accelerated the process.

Seeing this scene, Roland nodded with satisfaction. No matter what the result was, he had done his best to maximize his influence.

Thinking of this, Roland couldn't help but sigh. It would be better if he was stronger at this time.
