Paradox players’ simulation game
Page 65
As the reminder sounded like a warning, Irelia, who was commanding the battle on the front battlefield, came to a standstill.
Who? Ash.
What are you doing? Burning the Tree of Life.
At this moment, Irelia almost clicked the surrender button because of her shaking hands.
Even though Ash had previously ordered a sacrifice to Mount Saint Bello, refused peace talks, and ordered the extermination of all elves, she did not stop it, because this was a racial war and the winner was bound to win. If you don’t even have the determination to destroy your opponent, then it would be better not to fight this war in the first place.
Since you want to fight, just go for it.
But killing the elves and burning the Tree of Life are two different things.
Because according to the historical records of the continent, the Tree of Life was planted by the Goddess of Nature. It is the sacred tree that originally gave birth to the elves. It has stood on the continent of Rhea for who knows how many years.
It doesn’t matter if you kill elves, it is equivalent to a battle between two races. Maybe to the goddess of nature, the elves are just fruits that fell from the tree of life, and their life or death is not important.
Furthermore, the battles between races may also involve each other’s gods. Even if Ash does not believe in the Mother Goddess of Life, for the humans on the continent of Rhea, the Mother Goddess is the god of faith.
The people to the people, and God to God, that makes sense, right?
But now, with the fire set by Ash, the severity of the situation escalated to countless levels, from a war among mortals to the level of blasphemy against God.
At this moment.
When the red light of the blazing flames illuminated the sky above the Elijah Forest, Ash’s shout seemed to be magically enchanted and entered everyone’s ears – ‘World, burn!’ All the elves in the battle, like Irelia, also came to a standstill.
Then, the elves reacted and abandoned the enemies in front of them and swarmed towards the Tree of Life.
Wow~~~
The holy tree began to tremble, and countless green balls of light fell down and transformed into huge tree monsters on the ground.
[Trend Guardian]
These tree spirit guards appear larger than the tree demons, and their attack and defense capabilities have even reached the fifth level, and there are a lot of them.
When the Dryad Guard appears, it automatically begins attacking everyone around it.
Farther away, a hurricane swept over the forest. The Elf King controlled the wind element and raised the longbow in his hand. The violent elemental power turned into arrows and fell, shooting towards the figure standing under the flame of the sacred tree.
boom! !
The arrow exploded not far from Ash, and the air was covered with a scorching red flame. When the wind blew away the flames, the princesses stared at the interface – Laetitia stood in the air holding a burning sword, the sword tilted downward, and she raised her eyes and looked at the Elf King above the forest.
[Phyllis: Even though I know it can only be her, I still think this world has gone crazy.]
The only high-level combat force on Ash’s side, besides the royal guards sent by the old king, is Letitia.
He dared to kill in the Elijah Forest. Facing the threat of the elves, Felice and others guessed that Laetitia should exist, just like in the Benicia Royal City, appearing when Ash was in danger, but…
As the dean of the Central Holy Spirit Academy, no one should know the significance of the Tree of Life better than Letitia. Even so, Letitia still chose to take action. At this moment, all the princesses, including Phyllis, wanted to ask, Dean, are you so concerned about your disciples?
And strictly speaking, the Central Holy Spirit College is under the jurisdiction of the Holy See, and the Holy See has previously publicly stopped the Purple Spirit Kingdom from sending troops. The consequences of Letitia’s appearance here will be serious.
“Leticia!!”
The Elf King obviously knew Letitia, and his emerald eyes were filled with anger.
“Ah, I can hear you. No need to speak so loudly.” Letitia scratched her hair, still looking a little lazy, but there was a bit more solemnity under her laziness.
Swish swish!
Several figures appeared one after another.
The Elf King and the elders of the Elf tribe arrived first at this moment.
The elven elders looked at the burning Tree of Life in horror.
“The holy tree is burning!”
“It’s over, everything is over. The elves will bear the wrath of the God of Nature, and everything will be annihilated by God…”
“Ash Engle, you will be cursed for eternity!”
“Kill that demon!”
“kill him!!”
The elves shouted angrily at Ash.
[Felice: It’s over, it’s over. The Elf King is already a powerful 8th-level Saint. These elders are also 7th-level, right? How can the Dean fight alone? ]
The level divisions in the Rhea continent are similar. Taking the swordsman as an example, levels 1-5 are ordinary levels, level is the Earth Swordsman, and level has a title. For example, the uncle of the Sky Swordsman, Laetitia, also won the title of “Immortal Fire Dance”, and level is the Holy Domain.
For the opposing army, levels 1-6 basically have no chance of turning the tables, but a level warrior is basically invincible unless facing an army of tens of thousands. It is easy for him to chop off heads from an army of tens of thousands. It is no problem for a level warrior to reverse the situation alone. After all, even thousands of troops cannot stop a forbidden spell.
However, war is different from a duel. There are many uncertain factors. Different types of soldiers and formations will exert different powers. No matter how powerful a person is, his magic power will eventually run out. He cannot defeat a master with random punches, unless he is truly invincible.
As for levels eight and above, that is the realm that touches upon the power of gods.
The Holy Court once stipulated that after reaching the eighth level, one cannot easily interfere in wars. In fact, humans have more high-level warriors than elves, and all major kingdoms have the power of the eighth level. Whether it is human power or relying on other means, if you really want to compete with this top power, it will definitely be worth it.
But the top power is nuclear weapons, and they are very difficult to regenerate. Once they are gone, they are gone. This thing is even more important than the king.
It can be said that the trump card is permanent, but the king is ever-changing.
After all, with the top combat forces of various countries checking and balancing each other, it is the military strength and technological level that influence the continental situation.
The Elf King had not thought about taking action beforehand. First of all, he was not sure about taking action. There was only one Elf Kingdom, but human countries were everywhere. Once he was defeated, the elves would be in danger.
As long as he is still here, no matter how many elves die, the remaining ones can still develop with the help of the sacred tree.
In addition, he was also worried about the Holy See.
Although the elves are arrogant, they know their place when facing someone who is actually more powerful than themselves.
But now that the battle to defend the Ilia Forest has begun, it is impossible for us to just sit there and watch.
But what he didn’t expect was that the expected power of the Purple Spirit Kingdom did not appear, but instead Laetitia appeared.
[Weinei: Dean Letitia should have reached the eighth level, but I don’t know how strong she is.]
Letitia became the vice-president five years ago in real time. The vice-presidents of the Central Holy Spirit College were all above level seven. However, when Venetian was fighting for the throne in Vinicia, she saw Letitia easily fighting two enemies at once and was sure that the other party must have broken through to level eight.
It is now 1782, which is further back in time than when she simulated it, so the strength must be stronger.
Having said that, the Elf King is also a long-established sanctuary with a long-standing reputation, and if a fight really came to a head, Wei Nei couldn’t be sure.
But she was proven wrong.
Sometimes genius is hard to understand.
In the picture, Letitia’s magic power exploded all over her body, the flaming red flames lifted up her long hair, and she held the greatsword in both hands and swung it continuously. Every blow completely suppressed the Elf King in terms of momentum. Even facing the joint attack of several elven elders, she still seemed to be at ease.
This scene made Phyllis exclaim, “I’ll bankrupt the dean next time!”
After she finished shouting, she immediately changed her mind. No, she still had to bet on Ash. One bet equals two. She could still do the math for this problem.
As for Ash, seeing the invincible Letitia in the sky was both expected and a little surprising. He had indeed confirmed with Letitia about attacking the elves before, and the latter promised to stop the top combat power of the elves for him at the critical moment. However, after Ash saw Letitia’s strength with his own eyes, he couldn’t help but sigh that his biggest trump card in every game was his cheap teacher.
However, Ash knew that Letitia’s moves would be judged based on the strength he showed. If explained by the game mechanics, Letitia was a powerful trump card available to players, but how it was used depended on the player’s strength level.
If he was just an unknown young player, Laetitia would never gamble everything on such a hopeless possibility.
But if she saw with her own eyes that Ash had the courage and strength to overthrow the old system, then Letitia would naturally do everything to protect him. Ash can still grasp this game mechanism setting.
∈咕◆:2…》⑼〈〈驷零⑷傘乌⑥肆If it weren’t for this reason, why would Letitia help him without leaving any room for him?
But these are obviously not what Ash needs to consider at the moment.
The fire at the Tree of Life brought about tremendous changes to the battle situation. First of all, the effect of the domain buff was cut off, and the overall strength of the elves declined. In addition, the burning of the holy tree caused chaos in the army. The Elf King even abandoned his army to protect the holy tree. Once the commanders were in chaos, the army’s combat effectiveness collapsed directly.
This is the effect Ash wanted.
Under the protection of the royal palace guards, he returned to the team, activated the famous general skill buff, and ordered the entire army to charge.
[‘Warriors, make great achievements, and kill them in this battle! ! ‘]
[‘Kill! Kill! Kill!’]
Seventy thousand troops began to harvest the battlefield!
The entire Elijah Forest has undergone tremendous changes with the burning of the Tree of Life. As the sacred tree of the elves, this ancient tree can be said to be the energy core of the entire forest and the sheltering tree of the forest.
At this time, the holy tree was burned, and the Elijah Forest began to “wither” at a speed visible to the naked eye. The lush towering trees began to wither, the green grass turned yellow, and the green grassland turned into scorched earth.
On the battlefield, the blood of the elves turned into rivers and dyed the ground red. The trajectory of the blood flow was like a sacrificial formation. The burning flames lit up the starry sky. In the middle of the formation, the light of the flames infinitely elongated Ash’s figure, shrouding everyone’s heart.
He was the leader of this sacrifice.
Sacrificial mission: racial elimination game!
[In February 1782, you led your troops to attack the Elijah Forest and set fire to the Tree of Life. The fire continued to burn for three days and three nights. The Purple Spirit Army defeated the elves, and the Elf King fled with less than 2 remnants.]
[You issued a racial killing order.]
[In mid-February, the Holy See issued another warning, and Cardinal Clement led 2 troops to the border of the Elf Kingdom.]
[Because of the Holy Court’s intervention, the Purple Spirit Alliance stopped hunting down the elves. ]
[Chaos broke out in the Purple Spirit Kingdom, and a large number of Saint Court believers organized a parade, hoping that the kingdom’s army would immediately withdraw from the elves’ territory.]
[‘The Mother Goddess of Life is merciful. All life belongs to the Mother Goddess’s embrace, including the elves. They should not be exterminated! ‘]
[At the end of February, the followers of the Holy Court began to experience large-scale chaos. The Purple Spirit King publicly stated that “the elves are a foreign race, and those who are not of our race must have different hearts.” The next day, unrest broke out in the royal city. ]
[Phyllis: What? These brainless believers are actually speaking for the elves. Don’t they know how the elves massacred humans when they invaded?]
[Weinei: This is the horror of the Holy See’s missionary work. My father once said that the greatest enemy of royal power is divine power. I didn’t quite understand it at first, but now I understand that it’s not the faith that’s the problem, but the people who spread the faith themselves that have problems.]
The humans of the Rhea continent believe in the Mother Goddess of Life, and there is nothing wrong with that.
The problem is that the Holy Court, as the representative of the Mother Goddess, is not absolutely just. Everyone has desires. When a person is even able to exercise “divine power”, can he still suppress his inflated ambitions?
After several simulations as a lord, Wei Nei is very clear that as people become more inflated and ambitious, their morals will become lower and lower.
Not everyone is like Ash!
[In early March, you successfully trapped the remaining elves in the Sardar Mountains.]
iu
[The Elf King promised to hand over 50% of the territory to the Holy Court.]
[The next day, Cardinal Clement of the Holy See stated that carrying out genocide was an inhumane act and was against the merciful will of the Mother Goddess of Life. He advised Ash Engle to stop the aggression immediately, otherwise the Holy See would carry out the will of the Mother Goddess and send troops against him.]
[King Zi Ling has issued an order to withdraw troops. Do you accept it? ]
a
“The old king can’t stand the pressure anymore.”
Seeing the prompt on the interface, Ash frowned.
Now he’s in a bit of a pickle.
The Elf King has learned his lesson and no longer places his hopes on peace talks with the Purple Spirit Kingdom. Instead, he directly hopes that the Holy See will intervene and stop him from continuing his attack.
The intention of the Holy See is already obvious, and now the two sides are just one step away from a catastrophe. Before, the pressure was always on King Zi Ling, and the Holy See had exerted pressure several times but was resisted by the old father-in-law. But at this point, facing the temptation of 50% of the territory of the Elf Kingdom, the Holy See obviously couldn’t bear it anymore.
After all, there are only 3,000 elves left, and even the sacred tree has been burned. Even if the wildfire cannot be extinguished and will grow again in the spring breeze, it is unknown how much money it will cost to wait for the elves to recuperate and recover to their previous situation.
More importantly, can they go back to the way they were before?
Don’t forget, the Mother Goddess’s will is only to prevent the elves from becoming extinct, but it doesn’t say not to suppress them.
So in the final analysis, how to handle this matter depends on what the Holy See wants to do.
[Princess Irelia is here. 】
The scene changes.
Inside the camp where the Sardar Mountains troops are stationed.
Irelia, wearing silver armor, walked into the tent and came in front of Ash.
“Ash, my father has issued an order to withdraw the troops,” she said. “The Holy See’s army has arrived at the border of the Elven Kingdom. Because of the Holy See’s declaration, several large-scale chaos have broken out in the country. What do you think about this?”
Ash asked back, “Your Highness, do you want to withdraw your troops?”
“Of course I don’t want to. The extinction of the elves is imminent. If we let them go this time, the elves will definitely regard the kingdom as their number one enemy in the future.” Irelia knew very well that although there were only 3,000 elves left, they were the core of the royal family and were very powerful.
If they are given a chance to catch their breath, they will surely launch a devastating revenge on the Purple Spirit Kingdom.
“But I think the Holy See is happy to see this.” Irelia analyzed, “They have long wanted to check the development of the kingdom. Now is the best opportunity. As long as we save the elves in the name of the Mother Goddess, we can get the benefits promised by the Elf King, and we can also control our development and even deter other countries.”
Ash smiled and nodded.
