Except for those religious leaders and top powerhouses, no one can take a blow from him head-on.

He will become the hidden X factor, taking action at critical moments and smashing the enemy's core figure on the head with his scepter.

Maybe he should find time to ask Agnes for advice on how to use the scepter.

He is already a mature paladin, and he can't hit people with a blunt instrument.

Among the teachers he could find, Yanis was the best at hitting him on the head, so he looked for no one but her.

Roland put away his scepter with satisfaction and walked out of the secret room.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Melanis standing outside the door, facing the opposite window, standing blankly.

"Melanice, didn't you go to the ancient tree today?"

The elf lady always stayed by the ancient tree during the day, so it was rare to see her in the castle at this time.

"I'm waiting for you."

Melanis looked at Roland with a complicated expression. When she saw the scepter in Roland's hand, she recognized the aura of the World Tree.

"How long have you waited?"

"Three days." Melanies said softly.

Three days ago, she went to the World Tree as usual to find spiritual comfort, and then she felt that the breath of the World Tree was slightly weakened.

Losing the natal branch will not damage the foundation of the world tree, but it is not without any impact.

Melanis originally thought that World Tree was forced by Roland to hand over the branches, and quickly apologized to World Tree.

However, World Tree sighed helplessly and told her the truth.

After listening to World Tree's story, Melanis stood there and was silent all night, saying nothing.

World Tree is right, if you want to get it, you have to pay the price.

The price paid for the World Tree is the natal branch and a large amount of life force.

The price Roland paid was offending countless foreign races.

The price Egilina paid was to be tied to Roland's interests.

The price Granny paid was to fight side by side with Roland until the last moment, even risking her life.

The Druids made a desperate move and placed the future of the sect entirely on the World Tree.

Even Agnes put aside her status as a saint and temporarily served as Roland's military commander.

After this battle, no matter she wins or loses, it will be difficult for her to get rid of the suspicion that she is related to Roland.

Everyone has a clear goal and is paying a price for it.

What about her at the center of the whirlpool?

Although Melanies was a little stubborn, she knew that Roland had always been protecting her.

If it weren't for Roland, and if it had been any greedy and lustful human lord, she would have been forcibly visited on the first night she entered the castle, and then died a few months later.

Roland has a six-month contract with her.

According to the contract, she cannot seek death within these six months. If she insists on dying after six months, Roland will not stop her and will give her dignity.

Before I knew it, five months had passed.

It was time for her to make a decision.

Melanis raised her head suddenly and looked in the direction of the green sea. There were her parents, her relatives and friends, and her two sisters who were once closest to each other but were now life-and-death enemies.

She can forgive anyone, except her two sisters.

But no other clan members knew when she was captured that day.

Even if her parents are willing to listen to her complaints, they may not believe that her two sisters harmed her.

Even if they really believed it, their parents might prefer to choose one of their sisters to inherit the throne than a loser like her.

The enemy she will face then is the entire Green Sea and the entire elves.

A cold light flashed in her eyes.

She has no right to remain innocent any longer.

She returned to the castle and learned that Roland was making magic weapons. She stood outside the door and waited quietly.

She also didn't expect that she would have to wait for three days.

Seeing Melanis' tired expression, Roland patted her shoulder and said with a smile: "There must be something wrong if I don't come out. Why wait stupidly? Your room is next to mine. It's the same as waiting in the room." .”

"I know you are worried about the safety of World Tree. Don't worry, with me here, it will be fine."

Melanis didn't speak, just followed Roland silently.

Roland thought she was worried about World Tree, and continued to comfort him: "I know what you are worried about, but we can only be ourselves and wait for a miracle to happen."

......

"Roland, I want to fight!"

In the midst of Roland's nagging words of comfort, Melanis suddenly said something categorical.

Roland was stunned for a few seconds, smiled and nodded, "Very good, we need your combat power."

"The battle I'm talking about is not just on the battlefield, but also outside the battlefield. And it's not just me."

Roland showed an expression of surprise, "Have you contacted the tribe? But your two sisters..."

"No, I don't want to have anything to do with the tribe for the time being."

Roland was a little disappointed. The World Tree is the sacred tree of the elves. The humans are working hard here, but the elves are kept out of it. They always feel that something is wrong.

Although he was a little disappointed, he didn't say it clearly.

He knew that Melanis was only the third princess, with no inheritance rights and no team that had been in business for many years.

Her mentality is similar to that of an idle prince without inheritance rights.

It is simply unrealistic to expect her to convince the elves.

Just when Roland was a little disappointed, Melanis said softly: "The elves once were the masters of the world. Although they have declined long ago, they still have considerable power. In addition to the green sea, there are many tribesmen scattered around. If We can gather these tribesmen together, which is also a powerful fighting force."

Roland's eyes lit up.

These scattered elves range from thousands to tens of thousands or even 10,000+. They are not good at surviving until now, and their combat power is not inferior to the pampered upper-level elves in the Green Sea.

The World Tree + the Third Princess, this appeal is simply the dawn in the darkness for the lost elves. Who can resist?

The second X factor is here.

Chapter 022 The Temptation of Going Home

The arrogance of the elves has long been engraved in the depths of the soul.

However, no matter how proud the elf is, he must bow his head in the face of the pressure of survival.

This is the case with the Fez tribe.

In the fifth era, the elves ruled the world, and other ethnic groups could only look up to them and did not dare to compete.If the elves didn't like fighting, the number of ethnic groups that "withdrew from the stage of history" in the fifth era would not be less than in other eras.

Later, the world tree withered and the elves gradually declined. Only the "old evergreen tree" in the center of the green sea maintained vitality, and the other world trees withered one after another.

Among the seven world trees, there is a very distinctive world tree named Qionglin.

The Qionglin World Tree is the shortest among the seven World Trees, only over 1000 meters tall, but it covers the widest area among all the World Trees.

Its spreading roots are constantly sprouting new shoots, expanding its sphere of influence to nearly tens of millions of square kilometers.

Because its roots cover a large area, it does not require much soil. Wherever it goes, it grows in harmony with crops and allows other trees to thrive.

The elves have established large and small countries with the seven world trees as the core, including seven empires and more than a dozen kingdoms.

After the era of elves ended, the branches of the Qionglin World Tree withered completely until the sixth era.

The Elf Empire with Qionglin World Tree as its core did not last long and perished before the end of the Sixth Era.

The destruction of the empire and the decline of the ethnic group are just a drop in the ocean in the entire history of the plane, but they are a catastrophe for these elves.

The descendants of the Qionglin Empire, which once had a population of nearly [-] million, now only have a few small ethnic groups, and the Feis tribe is one of them.

Today, there are only more than [-] people in the tribe. Fortunately, the average number of marksmen in the tribe is high, and the probability of producing magicians is also very high, so they can barely survive.

The Fez tribe survives surrounded by humans, and they also learn to put down their arrogance and integrate into the human world.

They do business with humans, ask dwarves to make weapons and armor, and even trade with their mortal enemies, trolls.To survive in troubled times, the main thing is flexibility.

However, recently the Fez tribe still encountered obstacles that they couldn't get around.

The goblins are coming.

These damn ugly dwarves are simply destructive maniacs. Wherever they go, the forest is cut down in pieces, leaving only countless ugly holes.

The forest turned into potato fields, and all kinds of huge construction machinery roared forward, and no one could stop them.

In terms of combat power alone, every adult elf can easily defeat a goblin team alone, but the elves are no match for the goblins.

Because the difference in quantity is too big.

There are 3 people in the Fez tribe. Except for a very few children, they are all excellent warriors, but this number is incomparable to that of the goblins.

The goblin's reproductive cycle is extremely short, only taking five months, and there is only one litter in a lifetime.

Poor sanitary conditions and living environment make the life of the bottom goblins as humble as papyrus.

An ordinary goblin family has several or even a dozen children. The parents simply cannot afford to raise these children, so they put them into the army and the mines and leave them to God.

To solve the population problem, goblins became the most warlike race in all of Tiamat.

They plundered, they destroyed, they flew across the land like locusts, leaving nothing but a mess.

No one wants to be their neighbor, which also leads to their increasing number and larger territory.

Unfortunately, the human principality that stood between the goblins and the Fez tribe fell.

The general of the Fez tribe is not rigid in mind. He knows the truth of death and death, and even sent more than 3000 warriors to help the humans resist the goblins.

It's a pity that the human Duke is a useless person who cannot be helped.

Seeing the elven warrior blocking the goblin's footsteps, he packed up his belongings and ran away.

The war is lost and the goblins are coming.

The Fez tribe is about to face a difficult choice. What should they do?

resistance?The disparity in numbers meant that even if they could win, it would be a miserable victory.

Escape?Although the world is big, the places suitable for living have been carved up long ago. Where is the virgin land that has not yet been explored?

The option of surrender was denied from the start.

Surrendering goblins will not end well.

Elf women are excellent fertility machines, but there is no reproductive isolation between goblins and elves, which also makes elves the best trophies for goblins.

What's more, they were once the masters of the world, and it was fine to surrender to the current masters, the human race. How could they bow to the dirty goblins?

The old king can bow to the new king, but how can he succumb to filthy maggots?

The young elves were passionate, demanding a bloody battle with the goblins to the end, and angrily denounced the conservative leaders as useless people who had lost their power and humiliated their clan.

Faced with such a critical situation, the generals, councilors, elders, and priests of the Fes tribe gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

Although it has declined to the point where there are only 3 people left in the entire tribe, who mix and marry with humans, the Fes tribe still retains the traditional power structure of the elves.

The Elf King commands the entire clan, and the Council, Senate, and Temple of the Goddess share political power, legal power, and divine power.

After all, the Feisi tribe still has a reputation. The 3-strong tribe does not have an entire king. Instead, they respect the former emperor of the Qionglin Empire as their king, and the generals are responsible for daily affairs.

A king with 3 people is too shabby, but a general with 3 people is very reasonable.

It is difficult to get the desired results in a meeting with a large number of people, unless it is an applause session.

Councilors, elders, and priests talked to each other, and even sang and recited poems. The conference hall was like a concert hall.

This way of holding meetings is very much in line with the Elven tradition, but it does not help solve the problem.

The meeting lasted from morning to night, fully exchanging feelings and musical experiences, but nothing was accomplished in terms of business matters.
