Game of the World Tree

Players are an efficient group.

In fact, for any normal person, as long as he has a clear goal and sufficient energy, he will burst into a powerful action force.

It's just that in most cases, people live in ignorance, neither have enough self-control nor enough executive power, so... in reality, the implementation of various affairs in action is always delayed and complicated.

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 game rewards provide players with sufficient motivation. Here, even the laziest person in reality will subconsciously improve efficiency.

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

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

But with the encouragement of the game system, in less than three days, the supplies that could support an army of 100,000 people to sustain a month of battles were prepared by the players.

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

There are all kinds of war materials inside and outside the gray harbor, such as spare standard equipment, arrows needed by shooters, and mass-produced magic stone bombs.

And a wide variety of dry food processed from various crops, various unnamed fruits that are kept fresh by natural magic, and even some brewed ale and fruit wine, are also piled up in a truck after truck.

This is just the public strategic materials prepared by various guilds. If the items carried by the players are added, there will be more.

After five years of development, the Forest of Spirits has finally formed a huge production capacity. At this moment, it is fully operating for the same goal, and the effect is amazing.

The soldiers and horses did not move, and the food and grass came first, which was shown by the players most vividly.

However, the mission system did not give a specific date for the battle, and the mission was officially started only when the number of applicants reached 100,000.

After the consultation of the player's war department and the wishes of the mission commissioner Sophia, the date of the battle was finally set as one week after the mission was launched.

Of course, it's Seggs time.

Converted to Blue Star time, it is almost two days later.

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

After the first few 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. , to avoid the situation where players are offline on a large scale during battles...

It is possible.

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

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

The good thing is that Blue Star time is the summer vacation now, which is a good time for the majority of the student party to take on tasks.

Among the players of "Elf Country", the most are the college dogs who have the most free time, summer vacation or something... It's perfect for playing games.

While preparing the supplies, players who still have room for improvement in their strength have also begun to further frantically brush their books, intending to improve their strength as much as possible before the official start of the war.

Of course, that's for later.

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

Even the discussions on the official website forum have been swiped by the topic of this war mission, begging for various materials, recruiting people, explaining the battle plan, and popularizing the current situation of the human empire.

And in such intense preparations for the battle, the time finally came to the day when the player's combat department planned to attack...

...

Elven Forest, Grey Harbor Dock.

A merchant ship fluttering the flag of Lily of the Valley slowly docked and lowered its transom.

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

Some ragged civilians also walked on the deck, breathing the fresh air, and looking curiously and enviously at the elven city on the shore.

—————

They are all civilians fleeing from the Maple Leafs, the ultimate destination of the northern part of the empire.

Accompanied by several sailors, a well-dressed businessman stepped off the boat. He looked around on the pier, and his eyes lighted up when he saw an elf on duty at the pier management office.

I saw him walking three steps and two steps, twisting his fat body, trotting hummingly in front of the elf, and said flatteringly and enthusiastically:

"This... Elf Lord! I'm Erich, the president of the Silver Bells of the Valley Chamber of Commerce, and I want to replenish supplies at the Grey Harbor."

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

"Silver Bells of the Valley Chamber of Commerce? Are they transporting refugees again?"

"Yeah, yeah, this army is in chaos, and business is not easy to do, so this can only be done just now."

Erich wiped his sweat and sighed.

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

"Do you understand the rules?"

"Understand, understand!"

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

"This is what we saw on the Maple Leaf Collar along the way. Recently, the Maple Leaf Collar has not been very peaceful, and it has become more and more chaotic... It is said that Uncle Border has bloodily forced the people to convert... Oh, no, now He should be called Your Majesty Hongfeng..."

The elf took the parchment on which the information was written, looked at it carefully, took a picture of it and sent it to the guild group, and nodded:

"Okay, no problem, you can do it."

After he finished speaking, he gave the merchant a note and said:

"Give the note and payment to the guards in front of the dock, and someone will bring the supplies to you at that time."

"Thank you, Lord Elf!"

Erich was delighted.

He put the note away in a happy mood, and glanced at the heavily guarded pier and the city's apparently more elf mercenaries than usual. His heart moved, and he couldn't help asking:

"That... Lord Elf, what happened to Gray Harbor? Why do you feel that there are more and more mercenaries?"

However, he only ushered in a meaningful smile from the elf:

"You'll find out later."

"Late... later?"

Erich was slightly taken aback.

He looked at the elf, but the other party seemed to be reluctant to say more, and finally had to give up and continue to ask.

It's just that when he couldn't help but look at Grey Harbor City, he became more and more curious.

"Is there another elf mercenary hired by the empire?"

he muttered.

He handed the note and the payment for the purchase of supplies to the elf guards at the port of the dock, and soon the elf pushing the cart brought the supplies over.

However, Erich keenly noticed that the speed of supplying supplies seems to be very fast today...

"So soon? Ready in advance?"

He frowned suspiciously.

Looking at the heavily guarded pier, and at the apparently 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 Spirits seems to have recently purchased a large number of war horses and equipment in the underground black market, and it seems that there is a big move.

Coupled with the collection of Maple Leaf Collar intelligence...

Could it be... is there going to be a war?

Could it be the Maple Leaf Collar?

Erich's expression moved slightly.

He had heard that the Empire had handed an olive branch to the Elf Forest some time ago.

But... it seems to be rejected by the Forest of Spirits.

This is the news given by the empire, but the well-informed he knows that there seems to be something hidden in it.

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

Do not……

Shouldn't be.

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

If there was a big move, the elves would probably have prepared all kinds of ferries long ago, but now there are more ships on the dock than usual, but not many.

However, although he rejected his idea, Erich still recorded his experience in Grey Harbor and planned to sell it for a good price after returning to the north of the empire.

Taking both ends, reselling intelligence, this is the usual practice of black market businessmen.

However, just when he secretly recorded what he saw in the pocket notebook he was carrying, he suddenly heard a long, overwhelming roar coming from the direction of Grey Harbor.

It seemed that thousands of people were shouting together, the sound was so loud that even the pier beneath them trembled slightly.

Erich's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly looked in the direction of the city. He didn't know what was going on in the city, but only vaguely heard Elvish words such as "goddess" and "glory".

The next moment, accompanied by bursts of exclamations, Erich suddenly felt that the sky darkened.

"True God is above! What is that?!"

"Monster, is this a monster?!"

Following the exclamations of people, Erich subconsciously looked towards the sky and saw a huge ellipsoid object flying over from the city of Grey Harbor...

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

That's a zeppelin made by players.

Erich didn't know what an airship was.

But seeing such a behemoth, he also couldn't help but open his eyes wide, and couldn't help but whisper:

"My God... what is this?"

No wings, no magic light.

However, flying in the sky...

This kind of existence beyond common sense shocked Erich at the same time as it was full of consternation.

Airships are just the beginning.

After the airship flew overhead, Erich heard the roars of dragons and eagles again...

He looked at the horizon subconsciously again, and saw countless dense figures appearing behind the "giant behemoth".

It was a flying monster.

There are eagles, there are griffins, there are dragons...

Looking around, there are thousands of horrors!

Every flying beast rides at least one elf, and they follow behind the airship, covering the entire sky.

I saw them arranged in a scattered formation and slowly flew towards the direction of Maple Leaf Collar.

Erich stared blankly at this scene with a shocked expression.

It wasn't until the sailor pushed him that he reacted.

"Lord Erich, look! Look at the city!"

Sailor pointed to Grey Harbor City and said.

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

Most of them wore uniform standard equipment, or rode horses, or rode various monsters, surrounded by a shining and beautiful holy goddess statue, mighty toward the shore come.

The team that could not see the end made Erich tremble.

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

"Maple Leaf Collar, their goal must be Maple Leaf Collar!"

His expression was slightly excited.

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

The elves that just flew by are nothing more than that.

What do these elven knights do when they come to the shore?

He looked around and saw no redundant ferryboats on the shore.

Erich's doubts did not last long.

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

The girl's appearance looked familiar, and Erich felt that he had seen it somewhere, but he didn't recognize it for a while.

Until the fellow sailor exclaimed, evoking his memory:

"Miss Sophia! Lord Erich, isn't this Zeroland's 'Pearl', Miss Sophia?!"

Sophia...!

Thinking of this name, Erich finally came to a realization.

But soon, it turned into surprise:

Is she really in the Forest of Spirits?

What is she going to do?

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

Then, he saw that the girl suddenly knelt down, put her hands on her chest, clenched a necklace in the shape of a scepter, and closed her eyes to pray.

The dazzling rays of light converged on her and turned into countless golden photons.

Under Erich's stunned gaze, the earth suddenly trembled, and the soil on the shore suddenly flew up, and a green vine grew out of it.

The vine kept growing, getting bigger and bigger, branching, budding, and spreading toward the sky, rapidly toward the other side of the river.

In just a moment, a huge "bridge" composed of vines appeared over the Vermul River.

Erich stared blankly at this scene and opened his mouth in shock:

"Miracle...this...this is a miracle! She actually became a favored one!"

He turned his head abruptly, stared at the elf team that started to move towards Fuji Bridge, and finally understood why there was no ferry on the river bank...

With this bridge of vines, elves don't need ferries at all!

Miracles appeared, priests participated in the battle, and in the long procession, the holy and beautiful statue of the goddess of life held high by the elves...

At this moment, the well-informed Erich suddenly realized:

"Holy war! This is a holy war! The elves are going to launch a holy war against Maple Leaf Leader!"
