Chapter 1680: Chapter 564: Elf Clan, Threat to the Tribe
"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!"
A large number of arrows shot out.
The group of soldiers continuously swung their weapons, responding to these ranged attacks in an orderly manner.
The battle between the two sides had already begun.
At the same time, Cao Xing, Renice, and others also arrived at the clearing outside the tribe.
Seeing this large group of figures in war armor around them, doubt appeared in their eyes.
"Hmm? Weren’t they supposed to be mercenaries attacking the Elf Tribe? Why do they look more like soldiers?"
"And judging by the style of their war armor, they don’t seem to be from the Ice Crystal King or the Youlan Kingdom. Which country’s soldiers are they from?"
They quickly glanced at their information.
[Kingdom Soldier: Jaden Becker]
[Race: Human Clan]
[Affiliation: Ostia Kingdom]
[Level: Level 35 (Fourth Rank Elite Creature)]
[Attribute: ...]
...
"They are actually soldiers of the Ostia Kingdom."
"So this forest is near the Ostia Kingdom?"
A thoughtful look appeared in Cao Xing’s eyes.
He had heard of this kingdom before.
It had once destroyed the Renova Kingdom where the Mind Energy Queen resided and was considered quite a powerful entity among the nearby kingdoms.
His gaze once again turned to the battlefield, ready to step in at any moment.
Below, those soldiers also demonstrated astonishing war power.
The dense barrage of arrows did not halt their advance, as they continuously pressed closer to the Elf Warriors!
At the same time, with the entry of the Elf Spearmen.
They tightly grasped the spears in their hands, the muscles on their right arms slightly bulging, then hurled them with all their might!
"Swish!"
The sharp spears pierced through the air with a sonic boom, striking the kingdom soldiers.
Even through the war armor, piercing their bodies!
A large swath of soldiers fell one after another.
Seeing this, the soldiers did not panic.
A soldier resembling a squad leader shouted loudly, "Shield Armor Guard, form ranks!"
Hearing the order, a large group of warriors clad in chest armor and wielding large black shields charged from the rear.
They positioned the giant shields in front of them, blocking spears and arrows.
Then they began an orderly advance.
Soon, they were approaching the Ancient Elf Archers, preparing to force them down from the trees.
And at this moment, the Elf Warriors wielding longswords and battle axes rushed out, engaging in close combat with the enemy.
However, in terms of numbers and equipment quality, the Ancient Elf Clan was naturally far inferior to the kingdom’s soldiers.
With the close cooperation of the Ostia Kingdom’s side, the Elf Warriors were being driven back step by step!
It seemed defeat was imminent.
At this moment, the Elf Clan Chief Oriel quickly stepped forward.
He raised his magic wand, murmuring words.
"Will of Nature, our home is under invasion, our land is being trampled."
"Answer my call, unleash your fury on these invaders!"
In an instant! Plants and trees over a thousand kilometers seemed to be endowed with some kind of spirituality.
"Rustle~!"
Vegetation began to grow wildly, with the trees waving their branches, attacking the enemy!
One by one, soldiers rushed halfway only to suddenly have their legs entwined by the growing weeds beneath.
Before they could react, numerous vines pierced through their arms, heart, and even brain!
Inflicting fatal damage one after another!
"Pfft! Pfft pfft!"
With the continuous sounds of penetration, in the blink of an eye, dozens of soldiers had fallen!
Furthermore, the kilometer-wide forest seemed entirely activated.
The plants entered a state of frenzied slaughter, killing more and more soldiers.
Even those wielding giant shields and clad in heavy armor couldn’t withstand it.
The vines and weeds penetrated through the gaps in their armor, invading their bodies.
They could even feel the vines absorbing their flesh and blood, rapidly growing inside their bodies, blocking blood vessels and filling their organs in an instant!
Such a terrifying scene, even the well-trained soldiers couldn’t help but shout in panic.
"Damn! What kind of method is this?"
"Quick, block these vines, sever the weeds beneath!"
"It’s no use, the vines are growing too fast!"
Clearly, the Elf Clan Chief’s move caught the Ostia Kingdom soldiers completely off guard.
The advantage they had just established instantly crumbled with this outburst!
Even Cao Xing was somewhat surprised.
The skill used by the Elf Clan Chief was likely that Commander Level Skill—Nature’s Fury.
In such a forest environment, its effect was indeed quite formidable!
In fact, without needing Cao Xing to intervene, they could resolve this crisis.
However, this situation did not last long.
As waves of black fog spread from the rear, a malevolent, chilly aura also arrived.
The soldiers made way for the advancing black fog.
"Hehehe..."
With a sinister laugh, a bizarre figure appeared in front of the soldiers.
He wore a black magic robe, holding a black magic wand twisted like intertwining arms, exuding an aura of darkness.
"This kind of Elf Magic... is somewhat interesting..."
"However, it’s still no match for the power of the Forbidden Curse."
"Compared to my spell, it’s even more insignificant."
As he finished speaking, he thrust the black magic wand into the ground!
A terrifying black aura emanated from the wand, spreading across the ground.
The moment the plants and trees touched the black aura, they seemed to be drained of all moisture, withering instantly.
Then, quickly turning into black dust, they dissipated into the air.
Even the Elf Warriors, upon touching the black aura, felt the moisture in their bodies rapidly depleting, their skin shriveling quickly.
The Elf Clan Chief realized the danger of this black aura and immediately ordered, "Retreat!"
The Elf Warriors retreated without hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, the black aura spread over a thousand-meter area.
All the giant trees, plants, and anything touched by the black aura turned into black dust, disappearing into the air...
Even the ground turned into a thick black ink color!
Truly barren of any life.
Everyone wore a solemn expression, watching this scene unfold before them.
Even Cao Xing couldn’t help but be surprised.
"What kind of spell is this, with such immense power?"
"Moreover, it seems this spell has also affected the terrain, making it impossible for anything to grow in this area for a long time."
"Ordinary people and animals stepping into this area would also die in a short time due to the residual power, forming a Life Forbidden Zone."
Clearly, this spell was powerful but also highly dangerous.
It reminded Cao Xing of what Victoria had once mentioned.
A wizard who wielded Black Magic had fled to the Ostia Kingdom.
Could it be that this person also mastered Black Magic?
