Game of the World Tree

The red maple king Otto eventually died.

After the heroic figure who had been leading the maple leaf for decades was tied up in the square of Zeroland, and Sophia personally announced that he would be handed over to the people for trial, he soon ushered in the revenge of the angry people.

Never underestimate the anger of the crowd.

Regardless of whether a group's emotions are good or bad, its salient feature is that it is extremely simple and exaggerated.

The stronger the emotion, the more pronounced this tendency is.

Years of oppression, coupled with a series of brutal practices that almost disregarded the safety of the people after converting to the Heretic God, has already brought the entire Maple Leaf Leader's resentment towards Otto to a climax.

When Otto was strong, people dared not to speak out, and the existence of extraordinary power even made the weak citizens dare not resist.

But when Otto lost power, when Sophia and the elves defeated the Red Maple Kingdom in the image of the savior, people's anger could finally be vented, just like a volcano that had endured for a long time, ushered in a violent eruption.

Otto von Cappadocia, the vampire hidden in the aristocracy of the human world, the king of the Red Maple Kingdom, and a legendary powerhouse who was once only one step away from being conferred a god, was finally defeated by the ordinary who he always looked down on and ignited his anger. The people were beaten to death.

It is said that because there were too many people involved, when the elves went to collect the corpse, his corpse was no longer in human form and was almost beaten into flesh.

The mashed meat was mixed with some filth that was either discarded by the people or originally belonged to Otto, exuding a suffocating smell.

That scene, that smell, even made the elf warrior who went to dispose of the corpse vomit on the spot, and it took a long time to recover.

Vampires are still different from other species.

Their souls are very unique, and their life forms are between the undead and living beings. For them, unless they become the favored ones of a certain god, if the body dies, the soul will also be destroyed...

Therefore, at the moment of Otto's death, he has completely become the history of the Seggs world.

Otto died, the main army of the Red Maple Kingdom was destroyed, and the evil god behind it finally fell in the hands of the goddess of life...

This degenerate regime that has been independent for less than half a year has also completely lost its resistance to the elf army.

The remaining areas of the entire Maple Leaf Territory were almost on the verge of falling under the attack of the elves.

Many towns even rebelled directly, raising the red flags of the elves, announcing that they would join this holy war against the cultists, and they were loyal to the Saintess Sophia of the Maple Leaf Territory, and they were willing to support her to become the new frontier earl.

Hmm... the name of this saint is completely spontaneously shouted out by the people.

After all, the girl's love for the people along the way is seen by everyone, and it also represents the belief in the goddess of life.

Coupled with the outstanding appearance created by the elf blood, except for those surviving nobles who only rely on human blood, it is difficult for all other residents not to have a good impression of the half-elf girl...

Just like after seeing the statue of the Goddess of Life, the people of the territory converted faster than they knew it.

After all, people... all like beautiful things.

The army is strong and strong, and the military has an overwhelming advantage. At the same time, it stands on the commanding heights of morality and righteousness... This holy war can be said to be the overall situation.

Under the iron hoofs of the army of elves going south, almost all the towns fell to the wind and joined the cities, which disappointed the players who were looking forward to a big battle.

That is to say, when the siege of Maple Leaf City was a little troublesome, the largest city in the Maple Leaf Territory and the city where the Cappadocia family has been operating for the longest time still has some diehard loyalists of this vampire family.

It's just that facing the player's army of 100,000, as well as the astonishing 50,000-60,000 militia and mercenaries who joined the army spontaneously during the offensive process, this city is second only to Augs City. The strong city also fell after less than half a day.

It's been a long time, and it's completely supported by some high-level professionals who are loyal to the Cappadocia family.

For the forces without the protection of the gods, it is impossible to gain a foothold in the rich areas of the world of Saigus.

This is the rule of the extraordinary world, and it is also the sorrow of the weak in the extraordinary world.

Maple Leaf City fell, and the entire maple leaf leading to the Elf Forest was completely opened up.

So far, the Cappadocia family has continued to rule the Maple Leaf Collar, and has completely drawn a terminator.

The Maple Leaf Collar Rebellion, which has been raging for half a year, is now over.

However, what surprised everyone in the whole territory was that the savior of the Maple Leaf Territory, the evangelist of life, and the goddess of the goddess, Sophia, actually gave up the title of the frontier earl.

No, not just titles.

She even announced that she would abolish all noble titles in the Maple Leaf Territory, merge the Maple Leaf Territory and the southern area of ​​the Western Territory, and change the name to the Maple Moon Free Territory, a new word spelled from "Maple Leaf" and "Moon".

The free leaders of Maple Moon have no nobles, no slaves, only free people who are equal to everyone, and abolish the feudal system and implement democratic centralism.

At the same time, Sophia also announced the establishment of the Maple Moon Free Consular Council to lead the future development of the entire Maple Moon Territory. According to the distribution of towns in the entire territory and the number of urban populations, a total of 137 parliamentary seats will be set up.

Every life believer in the territory, every person who has good expectations and pursuits for the future, as well as ability and wisdom, can apply to join after meeting certain conditions, and get two-thirds of the votes in the council After being passed, it will officially become a member of the council.

The council will elect a free-land consul to rule the entire Maple Moon Free-land and accept the supervision of the Church of Life.

Each consul is in power for 10 years, after which re-election is required.

All beings that can become consuls must meet the following conditions:

1. He is a devout believer in life, supports the belief of the goddess, strengthens the belief of the goddess, and adheres to the characteristic path of equal development and common progress of Maple Moon.

2. In addition to the first consul of the free leadership, they must have rich governance experience in local towns and have gone deep into grassroots work.

3. In the process of the consul election, defeat other competitors and obtain the majority vote of the members of the council.

This time, the reform was commissioned by Sophia and printed directly into a booklet, which was scattered from the sky to various major towns. It was called the Maple Moon Reform.

And this unprecedented reform naturally caused an uproar in the territory.

This is also normal. People have been accustomed to the rule of nobles for thousands of years. At this moment, Sophia's actions are not only the first, but also enough to be remembered by history.

Of course, after the Maple Leaf Rebellion, the biggest resistance to the entire reform at this moment, the Maple Leaf Nobility has already suffered heavy losses, or in other words, many nobles in the city have simply disappeared completely, so although it has caused a huge sensation, the entire reform has been carried out. Pretty smooth.

Among them, the support of the elf army, the propaganda of the Church of Life, and the approval of the majority of the people played an irreplaceable role.

After the reform was implemented, Sophia and the priests of the Church of Life quickly elected the first members of the council in each city based on their performance in this holy war.

Sophia herself was elected the first consul of the Maple Moon Free Consular Council, the de facto lord.

After becoming a consul, the half-elf girl announced three things.

The first thing is to announce an alliance with the Elf Forest, officially list the Church of Life as the official church of the Freeland, and move the capital to Zeroland.

The second thing is to count the loss of the entire territory due to the turmoil, suppress and destroy the bandit groups currently entrenched in various places due to the war, and restore various production and trade as soon as possible.

The third thing is to open schools in various cities with the help of elves to improve people's intelligence, and at the same time impart extraordinary power to commoners with extraordinary potential, learn from elves to develop various magical tools that ordinary people can use, and promote extraordinary Civilization of power.

"I thought you would choose to become a hereditary lord, but I didn't expect to actually give up the title... Have you thought about it clearly?"

At the riverside pier in Zeroland, Demacia looked at Sophia, who had changed into the attire of the free lord consul, and said somewhat unexpectedly.

The consul's clothing is white, inlaid with golden lines, and has a shoulder strap with golden tassels on his shoulders. The majesty is not lost, and there is a pin that looks like a life scepter on his chest.

In addition to this, he also wears a white big-brimmed hat on the top of his head, and in the center is a badge composed of maple leaves and the moon, which is the badge of the maple moon collar.

This outfit is said to have been designed by a certain Elf Chosen.

"I've said it a long time ago that the Maple Leaf Leader will make a thorough reform."

Sophia said firmly.

She stared at the shimmering waters of the Vermur, her eyes calm.

"Then you are going to be the enemy of the entire human world. According to the games I have played... Cough, according to my experience, your approach will definitely usher in the hostility of the empire, and maybe even crusade."

Demacia said.

"So what? When I decided to become a believer of life and spread the goddess's righteous belief, I made this realization, not to mention... Aren't we also allies? Do you, Your Excellency Demacia, watch us helplessly lead the maple moon Threatened?"

Sophia looked at the red-haired warrior and said with a little playfulness.

"It's not cute!"

Demacia grumbled.

"You too."

The girl said bluntly.

"Me? Of course I can't use this petty word to describe it. If I need to describe it, I think it should be wise and wise!"

"Your Excellency Demacia, your face is still as shocking as ever. Several sections of the destroyed city walls of Zerolan have not been completely repaired. I think maybe using your face as building materials, it may be repaired faster."

The two of them were still accustomed to bickering, but the bickering seemed to be less gunpowder and more ridiculing.

People come and go on the pier, lively and lively, boats dock from time to time, and a large number of people with luggage board the pier.

Those were the returned citizens. They fled during the war. Now that the war is over, many people still choose to return to their hometowns.

Looking at the obviously much more relaxed expression on the face of Lingmin, as if thinking of something, the girl's expression suddenly became a little lost.

"What's wrong?"

Demacia asked curiously.

"I think of those who died in the war, this turmoil... I am afraid the population of the entire territory has dropped by at least a third, almost every family has been affected, and relatives have lost their lives. And Augs City In the nearby area, many towns are almost devoid of people..."

"War... is too cruel."

The girl sighed softly.

"It is true, but sometimes, change must be accompanied by blood, and after darkness, there will eventually be dawn."

"However, politics is never bright. Since you have chosen to become a consul, I think your road ahead will be even more difficult and lonely."

Demacia said solemnly.

"I have already decided that I will dedicate my life to the Maple Moon Leader, to the cause of the goddess, to lead people towards equality and prosperity, and to spread the goddess' light to every corner..."

The girl said firmly.

"However, half-elves have a long lifespan, right? I think...you shouldn't be a consul all your life, right? Have you ever thought about what to do after you become famous?"

Demacia asked curiously again.

"Have you become famous..."

Sophia murmured and smiled bitterly:

"That's too far, and I still have a long way to go."

But after speaking, her expression was a little longing:

"However, if I do all this in my lifetime, I hope I can find a beautiful town or a strange city to live in seclusion for the rest of my life, preferably by a lake or a river."

"Grey Harbor is not bad. At that time, I could sleep until I woke up naturally, go to church to have a morning meeting, then feed the pigeons in the square, go to the forest to pick some delicious berries in the morning, and sit in the yard in the afternoon. Bask in the sun, and at night, you can also participate in a lively bonfire party."

"The days in the Forest of Spirits were probably the happiest days I've ever lived. Although it was short, it was very real."

The girl's eyes were full of longing.

"Wake up, we have already picked all the fruit in the forest near Grey Harbor."

While Sophia was thinking about it, Demacia's untimely voice suddenly came.

Sophia:  …

She glared at someone.

Seeing the angry expression on the girl's face, Demacia consciously said something wrong, smiled awkwardly, and remedied:

"However, there is a teleportation formation in the city, you can go to far places, uh... you haven't heard of Kenoran, right? It's a beautiful place, there are colorful flowers everywhere, and all kinds of fruits are so abundant that you can Can't name it, it's crunchy and sweet."

"And Milovia, it's a seaside city, haven't you seen the sea? The beach there is boundless, the soft sand is very delicate, the blue water is like a mirror, and the scenery is very beautiful..."

"I think if one day you get tired and choose to return to the Forest of Spirits, you will not be disappointed."

Listening to Demacia's narration, the girl's eyes gradually showed a bit of yearning.

She was slightly absent-minded for a moment, and soon returned to reality:

"Let's try to change the reality first. Everything about Fengyue's leadership has just begun, and my knowledge and experience are still too little."

"Believe in yourself, as long as a leader who can achieve great things, his important quality is not erudition, but must have a strong and lasting willpower, which is an extremely rare and extremely powerful quality, it is enough to conquer everything. ."

"And in my opinion, Miss Sophia, you have this talent."

Demacia said seriously.

Sophia glanced at him unexpectedly. She didn't expect that this unremarkable Elf Chosen would say such a thing.

The bright sun shone on Demacia's body, making him look much brighter than before.

I have to say, if you look closely, the appearance of the other party is indeed handsome, coupled with that mighty armor, and the red hair neatly combed back into the back, even the passing civilian girls can't help it. He looked at him blushing.

Even Sophia had to admit that purebred elves were indeed born with good skins.

However, just when she looked at Demacia's dazzling profile face in the sun and was a little dazed, the latter's solemn expression suddenly changed, returning to a grinning slapstick look:

"How? Was I very fanciful just now? Did you fall in love with me?"

Sophia:  …

"Lord Demacia."

"Um?"

"Why did you have a mouth?"

Demacia:  …

The melodious whistle came from the merchant ship parked at the dock, which was the ship of the Amway Chamber of Commerce.

The entrusted task has been completed, the players have returned one after another, and he chose the waterway.

Demacia glanced at the player on the boat who greeted him and sighed:

"Miss Sophia, it's time, it's time for me to go too. If there is a chance in the future, you are welcome to visit the Forest of Spirits."

"If Lord Demacia wasn't there, I would consider going."

Demacia:  …

"It's not cute at all."

He murmured and jumped aboard the merchant ship with a brisk stride.

The canvas was slowly lowered, and the merchant ships gradually left the shore.

In the warm sunshine, the sailboats with full sails left the pier and sailed into the distance.

Looking at the sailboat disappearing on the horizon, Sophia slowly retracted her gaze.

"thanks."

"Goodbye..."

She said something in a low voice, then her expression became solemn, she turned around in a valiant manner, and under the respectful eyes of the accompanying civil servants, she said:

"Let's go, go back to the Lord's Mansion."
