Her Royal Highness the Princess doesn't want to be pushed down by the players

Due to many complex reasons, most of the elves that appear in other parts of the continent, especially in human society, are half-elves.

So, now Liu Pei and his personal guards mixed into the team that was rushing to the ancient battlefield ruins mentioned by the player team.

Chris didn't care about this because the composition of the expedition team heading to the ancient battlefield ruins was very complex.

In addition to Chris, Isa, and Yuni, Liu Pei brought Zhao Feng in, and even Chris's younger brother, Prince Nolan, came with Doris and Gaspar.

Their escorting knights and personal guards were now riding their horses and scattering around, guarding against and clearing any trouble on the road.

The cold winter makes it impossible to do many things. Liu Pei, Nolan and others probably feel that it would be too boring to stay in the city.

So when we heard that we could explore the ancient battlefield ruins, we all came along.

However, this also made Chris feel more at ease.

After all, with the addition of Liu Pei and Nolan, the strength of the expedition team has increased a lot.

"I remember, Your Highness the Third Princess, that you people of Selis are not native to the Hefno continent, right?"

Chris, who was bored, suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Liu Pei beside her.

Black hair is not uncommon on the Hefno continent, but what is rare is a pair of pupils that look like black crystal stones.

"Yes."

Liu Pei nodded. She was not shy about talking about this, nor did she care that Nolan and the others around her all turned their eyes to her because of Chris's words.

"The Selis are what you call us, and we are indeed like you have heard some information about us."

When passing a small hill, Liu Pele stopped his horse and looked up at the sky to the west.

Across the snow-capped Snow Crystal Flower Plain is the Glittering Sea, and beyond that is the Ocean of Storms, which is rarely visited by the races of the Hefno continent.

Across the Ocean of Storms is the hometown where her ancestors were born.

There are soft silk, fragrant tea, exquisite pottery and rich food.

The girls there are gentle and beautiful, and the boys there are calm and generous. They like to go outings and recite poems in the spring, and like to sing while drinking.

These were all what Liu Pei was thinking about as he lay in his grandmother's arms, listening to his dignified and beautiful grandmother slowly describing the beautiful scenery of her hometown in a nostalgic tone while looking at the distant sky.

"Unfortunately, I have never seen with my own eyes how beautiful my hometown is."

When Chris wanted to say something comforting, Liu Pei suddenly turned his head to look at Chris with the corners of his mouth raised high.

Those big eyes are like the deep night sky, shining with stars.

"If I can defeat my two brothers, I will gather the power of the entire Celis Empire and form an expeditionary force."

"Cross the Shining Sea, cross the dreaded Ocean of Storms, and set foot on the land my grandmother described!"

Looking at the high-spirited Liu Pei.

Fragments of dreams suddenly emerged in Chris's mind.

Although she had never come into contact with Liu Pei, who had become the Queen of Seris at that time, in the dream, she had seen him from afar.

At that time, she was the king of the northern border of the Hefno continent.

Neither the Kingdom of Aler, the Empire of Xiuzes, nor the Barbarian Kingdom in the northeast could withstand the formations and cavalry of the Serlis army.

However, even in such a huge empire, wars often broke out on its borders.

But compared to the entire continent ravaged by war, it was like a paradise, so quiet.

At that time, Liu Pei should have been integrating the power of the entire empire and forming the expeditionary force that was eager to return to his hometown.

"You can do it for sure."

Chris nodded vigorously.

"Oh, Chris, you're so cute."

Looking at Chris's serious expression and confident eyes, Liu Pei suddenly laughed happily.

She even reached out her hand affectionately and gently pinched Chris's cheek under the cold gazes of Yuni and Nolan.

"No wonder those strangers in your territory admire you so much, Chris. You're truly adorable."

"It was just an accident!"

Feeling the warm touch on her cheek, Chris suddenly felt her face getting a little hot.

She turned her head away in panic and denied it bluntly.

She was the one who had been teasing Yuni and little Isa all along.

Today, for the first time ever, it was her turn to be teased.

Chris secretly glanced at Liu Pei, who had a bright and heroic smile, compared the strength of both sides, and gave up the urge to tease him back.

"Let's hurry up and set up camp near the ruins of that ancient battlefield."

Chris withdrew her gaze and changed the subject as if nothing had happened.

"Although the sky doesn't predict snowy weather in the next few days, we should still investigate and return to Weed as soon as possible."

When Chris and the others followed the route of that team of players and arrived at the ruins of the ancient elf battlefield, it was already noon the next day.

This is a dense forest, and like the temple left by the elves, it is also located in the Angus Mountains.

Because of the rich elemental environment of the Angus Mountains, even in winter, you can see as far as you can see when you look up.

Beneath the light layer of snow, there is lush green everywhere.

Such an environment is undoubtedly very suitable for the survival of magical animals and plants, and is also favored by some races and professions that are very sensitive to elements.

The ruins of the ancient battlefield discovered by that team of players were right in the mountains and forests that Chris was seeing now.

In this forest where there are few people because of the existence of magical animals, the ancient battlefield from many years ago has been hidden in the dense forest and has not been discovered.

The camp was set up on the morning of the third day.

Chris and her group, who had rested and were full of energy and spirit, took their supplies and carefully stepped into the forest.

After passing through the dense jungle and climbing over a small hill, Chris and her friends were surprised to see a not-too-small piece of flat land between the hills.

Seeing the collapsed buildings remaining on the plain, the decayed towering trees, and the remains of battles everywhere.

Chris couldn't help but look at Liu Pei and the others beside her, and saw surprise on each other's faces.

"Is this really the remains of a battlefield that has existed for hundreds or even thousands of years?"

It’s not that Doris, who was beside Nolan, was narrow-minded, but the scene before her was too surprising and hard to believe.

Can you imagine a giant tree falling to the ground, but for some unknown reason, it still retains its former height?

Doesn't it slowly decay and return to the soil as time goes by, becoming nutrients for the growth of other plants?

Towering trees like this are almost everywhere on this plain, and between most of the giant trees, there are still some elf-style buildings left.

The most eye-catching thing is the ancient elven tree that, although dry, still stands tall in the center of the plain.

That was once the most central and most important place in the elves' homeland.

"This ancient battlefield was once the living territory of that elf tribe, right?"

Chris stood on the hill, looking at the ruins of the ancient battlefield, and said in a complicated tone.

Therefore, after their homeland was destroyed and they suffered heavy population losses, the elves migrated to the vicinity of the temple and lived there for a while, eventually leaving the Snow Crystal Flower Plain and disappearing on the continent of Hefno.

“What happened before?”

Like Chris, everyone else looked at the battlefield ruins with shock and even a hint of fear.

"Let's go down and take a look. Be careful."

You won't find much if you look from such a distance.

So after Liu Pei spoke, Chris and the others left the hill.

I stepped slowly and carefully into this plain, which may have once been a forest, a very beautiful home where elves had lived for countless years.

Unfortunately, this place has now become a battlefield relic.

Even after nearly a thousand years, Chris and the others did not see any signs of life taking root again in the ruins of the battlefield.

"Sister, what kind of power could have allowed these battlefield ruins to remain intact for nearly a thousand years?"

Little Prince Nolan walked to a fallen giant tree and carefully used his sword to push aside the withered branches.

Under the dead branches, he saw a slender skeleton. It was once an elven warrior, holding a scimitar, protecting his homeland until his death.

"A terrible battle."

Liu Pei stood on the flat ground, looked around, and all he could see were traces of brutal battle.

"They failed, their homes were destroyed, and the losses were heavy. But they didn't know who the enemy they were facing was."

After hearing Liu Pei's words, Chris put down the broken weapon in her hand and looked around.

Among all the people present, she was the only one who knew who the enemy this elf tribe was facing.

The evil god from outer space, and his minions who were seduced and corrupted by him.

Looking at the remains of the battlefield, Chris's mood suddenly became urgent.

Because, just standing on the edge of the battlefield ruins.

Chris could already feel the brutality of the battle that had taken place here.

The most important thing is that the fighting power of the elves at that time was probably far greater than that of the current Vader City.

Because that era was a mythological era.

According to the records of various churches and the myths and legends of all countries and regions, the Hefno continent was full of powerful people in that era.

However, such a powerful elf tribe suffered huge losses and had to leave their homes and flee the continent.

Chris couldn't imagine what would happen to Vader City if the evil power hidden in her territory as the Elf Lord God said was awakened.

I don’t know if those players can handle it.

"Let's go a little deeper."

No one else objected to Chris's proposal.

Because whether it is Nolan, Liu Pei, Doris, Zhao Feng and others.

I was also full of curiosity about what happened on this battlefield.

Of course, as they moved deeper into the center of the battlefield, they became more cautious and vigilant.

Because, the closer you get to the center of the battlefield and the closer you get to the withered ancient elven tree, the more corpses there are on the ground.

In addition to the corpses of the elven warriors with slender skeletons, Chris and his friends also found many strange-shaped skeletons.

Some corpses had four arms, some had huge bones in the upper body and small bones in the lower body, and some corpses had large bones on one side of the body and normal bones on the other side.

Looking at these deformed and bizarre corpses and skeletons.

The expressions on Chris and Nolan's faces became more solemn and cautious.

Just by looking at these corpses, they felt a strange and twisted aura coming towards them.

As people's mood involuntarily became a little irritable, even some of the guards knights and bodyguards began to breathe heavily.

"Everyone else stop and slowly withdraw."

After noticing the performance of those relatively weaker guards, Chris immediately ordered them to retreat.

She didn't expect that even after a thousand years, the lingering aura on the battlefield could still affect these guards.

"Listen to my sister."

"Listen to little Chris, all of you retreat."

After noticing this, Liu Pei and Nolan immediately issued orders like Chris.

"Yes!"

After the guards slowly and carefully moved away from the center of the battlefield, Chris turned around and looked at the ancient elven tree that had stood in the center of the battlefield for a thousand years.

It must have been lush and green in the past.

It is like a big umbrella, leaving a huge shade in the woods.
