The system was set three years in advance, but the universal deities still hadn't arrived.

Chapter 410 The Leaf Spirit, the Bamboo Sound Spirit

In front of the warehouse of the original Demon Castle.

Zeng Shen picked up a piece of beef, put it in his mouth and chewed it while listening to Duo Duo Mi's report.

When he learned that an elf was unwilling to submit, he said coldly, "You should have made it clear to them what benefits they would receive for submitting to me, and what the price would be for not submitting."

Duoduo nodded slightly.

“Very good. What kind of race is this elven race that refuses to submit? Approximately how many elves are in the race, and what is their strength?” Zeng Shen asked.

Duoduo hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "They are the Leaf Elves, the most numerous elves in this area, with a total of nearly four thousand elves. The chieftain and priests are at the fourth rank, there are about five hundred at the third rank, more than two thousand at the second rank, and the rest are at the first rank or the zero rank."

Upon hearing that they were from the Leaf Elf race, Zeng Shen showed a hint of surprise.

He had studied this race in depth many times.

From Xueye, he knew very well that this elven race, even when defeated, always had a stubborn attitude and were difficult to tame.

With such a large population, almost equal to the number of Mos's followers, and including two fourth-tier beings, this race is even less likely to submit to anyone easily.

After a moment of contemplation, Zeng Shen slowly stood up and said to the vampire Duomengyi and the succubus Duomeijia beside him, "You two go and call the chieftains, priests, and the succubus in charge of the wolf riders of each tribe to assemble in the castle hall."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Duomengyi and Duomeijia responded and quickly opened their bat wings to summon the tribal chiefs.

Zeng Shen then turned and walked towards the castle hall, with Shuri Gugu following closely behind.

Duoduo hesitated for a moment, then followed behind, heading towards the castle hall.

soon.

Inside the castle hall, the chieftains of various tribes had gathered.

On the steps, Zeng Shen squinted at the clan leaders of various tribes below, as well as Mei Si, who was in charge of the wolf riders, and Duo Duo Mi, the priest and clan leader of the Succulent Elf tribe, who was giving a detailed account of the Fallen Leaf Elf tribe.

After Duoduo finished explaining the details of the withered leaf elf race, Zeng Shen looked down and said:
"How confident are you in successfully defeating this withered leaf spirit?"

“My lord, the number of these Leaf Elves is about the same as ours, but they fear fire, and their strength will be greatly reduced in front of us. It won’t be difficult to defeat them. However, after this battle, at least 20% of their people may return to their homeland and back to the embrace of the gods,” Yu Si analyzed.

Zeng Shen frowned slightly, shook his head, and said, "This ratio is too high. Is there a better way?"

In an instant, the entire hall fell silent.

However, Nu Si quickly stepped forward and said, "My Lord, if you wish to reduce battle casualties, I have a method, but it will take some time."

“Tell me about it,” Zeng Shen said.

Upon hearing this, Nusi slowly said, "My Lord, the God instructed our race not to use our talents during the preparation for this divine trial, but to save them for the trial itself. I think we can secretly transform a portion of our race into succubi, greatly weakening their strength."

"That's excellent."

Zeng Shen immediately stood up happily.

Can be followed.

He frowned and said, "Wait, if these elves resist, unless it's the four of you who are first-generation or second-generation succubi, it will be very difficult for the other weaker succubi to be transformed into succubi by their charm patterns."

“My Lord, we have considerable experience with this, so you need not worry,” Mei Si said as she stepped forward.

Zeng Shen immediately said, "Meisi, tell me about it." "My Lord, if a fire breaks out near the clan's territory, or even spreads to the entire territory, these withered leaf spirits will come out to put out the fire. When they extinguish the fire, they will be quite exhausted. So, when they go back to rest at night, if we suddenly appear in their rooms in the middle of the night, we can achieve good results."

“That’s a good idea, but there are also many risks. If we alert them, you’ll be surrounded,” Zeng Shen said.

Meisi nodded and said, "Yes, Your Excellency, so we will act with caution."

“With a sudden fire all around, these leaf spirits will definitely be on high alert. We must make them lower their guard. Here’s what I’ll do: I’ll call someone out to assist you.”

As Zeng Shen spoke, his consciousness slightly focused, and a faint, transparent array pattern slowly condensed and appeared beneath everyone's feet.

next second.

A transparent, pale white energy appeared on the array pattern.

"Yanxi, let me ask you, how many targets can you simultaneously trap in a dream?" Zeng Shen asked.

A clear, ethereal voice soon rang out from the pale white, transparent energy, "As long as I am in the area, any target that has fallen into a deep sleep can be pulled into a dream as long as it is not disturbed."

"How big is this area?" Zeng Shen pressed.

"Gathering Spirit Island is so big."

"Alright, you can go back now. I'll call you again tomorrow." Zeng Shen said happily, then canceled the summons to Yanxi, not wanting to waste any more mental energy.

after that.

He then announced to those below, "Tomorrow night, I will join you in battle. Please give instructions to all the clansmen to have a good rest today."

"Yes, Your Excellency." Nu Si and the others immediately bowed.

After they finished paying their respects, Zeng Shen looked at Duoduomi and asked, "What is the name of that elven race that is willing to submit but not to move here? How many elves are there?"

“My Lord, those are the Bamboo Spirits, a race of several hundred spirits.” Duoduo paused slightly before continuing, “In the place where their race was born, there is a small wonder called the Nine-Striped Bamboo Forest, and they are the spirits that gave birth to that wonder.”

Zeng Shen instantly understood why this Lin Yin Elf Clan was unwilling to leave their homeland.

So they were spirits born from a spectacle; no wonder they didn't want to leave their homeland.

In this regard.

After a moment of contemplation, Zeng Shen said, "Since they are unwilling to leave their territory, I will not make things difficult for them. But after we deal with the Leaf Elves, you must have their chieftain or priest come to see me with their people and sincerity."

"Yes, on their behalf, I thank the Divine Envoy for his understanding," said Duoduomi, bowing.

"Alright, disperse. Go back and let your people rest well and prepare for tomorrow's war," Zeng Shen said, waving his hand.

"Yes, Your Excellency."

After the tribal chiefs performed their sacrifices, they all bowed once and then left the castle hall to prepare.

noon the next day.

Standing on the city wall at the valley's edge, Zeng Shen looked down at all the intelligent races ready for battle. After a brief pep talk, he shouted:

"Attention everyone, move out..."

Afterwards, he flew down, sat on Huo Xin's flaming horn, embraced her soft waist, and led the army toward the withered leaf elves 70,000 meters away.
