Divine Kingship

Chapter 621 Elsa wants to accept reality, what will be the fate of the elves?
Although the reason is abstract, in any case, Rand can now act more freely regarding matters concerning the Elf World Tree.

Hmph, revivalists and cultists, the goddess of elves is with me, what can you do to fight me!

Ryza came to this world from outside of it, and it's too early to explain how she did it. Her combat power is far from reaching the level of a god, but according to Ryza, she is at least at the level of a king. So Rand doesn't need to worry about her combat power.

Now we just have to see how things develop.

After a serious discussion, Rand and Lysa decided to stick to the original plan and then implement some backup measures.

The original plan was to try to save the World Tree, and the backup plan was to find a way to obtain a sufficient "reward" while paying the price if the World Tree could not be saved.

Rand and Lysa kept their eyes on the battlefield.

If the fairy goddess, the bright moon in the forest, the embodiment of moonlight, were to personally appear and save the day, the revivalists would defect, and the cultists would lose their courage.

But since Lysa has decided to let the elves create their own destiny, the ending is very unpredictable.

Of course, the help from Rand, an outsider, is also part of the elf's own destiny. After all, in a sense, it was Vanilla who "found" Rand, wasn't it?
Just as Rand and Lysa were looking at the battlefield.

Elsa squatted down to the side, covering her face.

Elsa can no longer look Ryza in the eye.

As a native of this world, Elsa had heard the legends of the gods since birth.

The most prevalent part of the legend, of course, is the great deeds of the Torch Goddess, the goddess known as the Eternal Light and the one who burned the stars, who helped humanity fight against darkness and evil.

However, he also knew something about the stories of the Elf God, the Lord of the Deep Sea, and even those evil gods.

Elsa's assassin family has some historical heritage, so they know more about it than ordinary noble families.

In Elsa's past impressions.

Gods can be mad, or they can be majestic and benevolent.

The gods are absolutely powerful and hold a revered position.

And Lysa...

But Ryza isn't powerful, is she...? That doesn't make sense either.

Lysa's power as an elven goddess has long been evident in those historical legends.

Ryza isn't noble, is she... or not?

Whether it is his temperament, his wisdom, or his true status, all of these are sufficient to demonstrate his position.

But if Elsa were to respect and worship Lysa as a god.

That would involuntarily remind Elsa of some of Ryza's "Ryza" exploits.

Ryza herself doesn't seem to care about those "Ryzas" and thinks it's normal.

But Elsa simply couldn't accept those things from the past, things that could be considered a dark chapter in her life, as normal.

It's possible that the person in the situation isn't embarrassed, but others are.

So, Ryza can be considered... a mad god?

Forget it, I don't see anything crazy about Ryza, so I'll just call her a perverted god.

Elsa never expected that the first god she would ever meet would be a pervert.

Hopefully, no elf will ever find out about this.

Otherwise, faith might collapse.

……

At this moment, the elves were completely unaware of what was happening around Rand.

Beneath the trunk of the golden tree that pierces the sky.

The bloody war continues.

They've been fighting for a whole day and night now.

Both sides have already revealed their trump cards.

Rand has learned quite a bit.

Since the rise of humankind, elves have been no match for humans, but that doesn't mean that the elf race is a weakling with no fighting ability.

This one still mainly has an advantage in terms of quantity.

At this moment, many tree spirits have joined the elven army led by vanilla on the battlefield.

Just now, Vanilla wrote a report to Rand, saying that one of her elves seemed to have gotten along well with a dragon when he was young, and now a green dragon will soon be on the battlefield.

It can only be said that in this kind of war that determines the fate of a race, they really used every last trick in the book.

If it were a game or a movie, then Rand would call it wonderful.

Unfortunately, war is always a grinding wheel of life and flesh.

Fortunately, the war is not far from ending.

After some time, Rand actually saw a green dragon enter the battlefield through Raven Cola's perspective.

This was the first time Rand had ever seen a living dragon; before this, he had only ever seen the three-headed undead dragon he had created.

A terrifying dragon's breath swept across the battlefield.

"There are actually living dragons in the world."

"Hmm, there should still be a few alive." Lysa blinked her golden eyes.

Lysa's eyes seem to have very special vision.

What Rand needs to see through the Crow Cola can be seen by Ryza with ease, but considering that Ryza is a god, it is not surprising.

"You mentioned that dragon blood seems to have some special characteristics?"

“Using it a little is fine, but it is essentially something from ancient times, and overusing it could very well lead to disaster,” Lysa continued to answer Rand’s question.

After a while.

From Crow Cola's perspective, two familiar figures appeared on the battlefield.

Molin and Dazhuang.

As a bird, Crow Cola has excellent eyesight. Based on Rand's experience, Crow Cola's eyesight should be much better than that of eagle-like magical beasts.

Rand could see the anxious expressions on Morin and Dazhuang's faces through the crow cola.

Rand then gave the order.

Crow Cola swooped down from the sky.

In the initial conception, Rand's method of commanding Raven Cola was to have Raven Cola carry a vibration communication device.

The method worked quite well; Crow Cola's intelligence wasn't too low, at least it could understand the simple commands from the vibration communication device.

However, once the distance is far, technical issues with the vibration transmission device can cause the connection to become unstable, resulting in commands not being transmitted completely.

However, this problem was solved after Rand upgraded to a higher-level professional and gained special abilities.

Raven Cola is no longer Rand's pet.
Rather... a messenger.

Crow: (Cola)
Identity: Messenger

Ability: Sensory sharing

Ability: Beyond visual range
Abilities: Ability Derivatives

Ability: Steel Feather

Blessing: The Voice of Rand

Because of some special powers that are still difficult to understand, Rand can directly give orders to Raven Cola.

This has made many things much more convenient.

Moreover, as its size increases, Crow Cola is not only a messenger.

Crow Cola's fighting power is now gradually taking shape. Notice the giant crow swooping down from the sky overhead.

The cultists launched an attack on the giant bird-like monster that clearly belonged to the elven faction.

But neither magic nor swordsmanship could make a difference.

Crow Cola sped past.

High-frequency sounds, like ice cracking and jade shattering, burst forth from the clouds.

Then came the roaring sound of air compression accompanying the flapping of the wings.

When Crow Cola approached, the violent airflow overwhelmed the cultists, forcing them to their knees.

Then, two sharp claws gripped Morin and Dazhuang like iron pincers, and then they were lifted into the air again.

Molin and Dazhuang breathed a sigh of relief.

I never expected them to be received in this way.

They had received instruction from the bishop and knew that His Majesty Rand kept a raven, but they hadn't expected it to be so big.

As for why they were so certain that the raven was His Majesty Rand's raven.

Naturally, other powerful bird-like magical beasts wouldn't be able to capture the two of them so precisely, nor would they cause them any harm.

Morin and Da Zhuang soon found themselves on a branch of a towering tree, where they met His Majesty Rand, a majestic elf, and a somewhat withdrawn-looking thief.

A makeshift platform built on the branches of a giant tree, with some shelter and a few chairs.

His Majesty Rand sat in one of the chairs, with a lantern beside him for illumination.

Cola flapped its wings and slowly descended, putting Morin and Dazhuang down. Then it flapped its wings again and stood on a nearby branch.

Crow Cola turned its head and stared with its brown eyes at the group of people and an elf on the small platform atop the giant tree.

"You seem to have something to report, is that it?" Rand asked.

“Yes, Your Majesty, we have obtained crucial information,” Morin and Dazhuang nodded in reply.

“Speak,” Rand said quickly. He was indeed very interested in the intelligence, although in reality, given Lysa’s current status, no intelligence was of much importance.

"The divine child has arrived in the elven forest. We cannot determine his strength, but he should be stronger than the legendary top-level professionals."

Rand nodded.

"The divine child said that as long as we can hold out for two days, we can do it. We guess that two days will be a crucial point."

Rand nodded again.

Then Morin and Da Zhuang described many of the scenes they had witnessed, such as the enormous tentacles rising from the earth, and the things they vaguely observed the followers of the Cataclysm and the Cult of the God of Struggle doing.

After listening carefully and thinking it over, Rand said that the two of them could leave.

"If there's anything else important that you can think of, you can ask the messenger to send me a message via magic pigeon." After saying that, Rand had Crow Cola take Morin and Da Zhuang to the foot of the giant tree.

After the war ends, Morin and Dazhuang will be assigned some relatively easy jobs and become members of the Holy Domain forces.

Now, Morin and Dazhuang will stay in the rear and won't have to go to the front lines to fight.

After settling Morin and Dazhuang, Rand stepped onto the back of the returning Raven Cola.

“Alright, let’s get going. It’s time for us to take action,” Rand said with a smile.

Ryza and Elsa also stepped onto Crow Cola's back, and then Crow Cola flapped its wings and took off.

Ryza, Elsa, and Rand are not overweight, so they don't pose too much of a burden on Crow Cola's flight.

The cold and turbulent air currents at high altitudes had no effect on the high-ranking officials of the Holy Land or powerful individuals like Rand.

Now that everything that needed to be known is known, Rand has some things to do.

Judging by the timeline, Vanilla probably won't have enough time to save the Golden Tree within the next two days.

If Rand takes Elsa and Lysa with him and goes all out.

There should be enough time to make everything happen.

Like many classic stories, the climax occurs when the protagonist comes to the rescue at the most crucial moment.

That's how it will be.

They obtained crucial intelligence at a critical moment and took action while there was still time.

Then, after overcoming countless hardships, they used their faith and courage to save everything at the most dangerous moment.

To be honest, Rand did think that way at first.

This is based on the premise that if something happens to the World Tree, it will have a serious impact on this world.

Even so, Rand would still consider Lysa and Elsa's lives more important, and might not necessarily risk his life for them.

But going all out is inevitable.

Now that Lysa's identity has been revealed, everything has changed.

Since relying on vanilla might not be enough to save the Golden World Tree, Rand will have to come up with some Plan B.

Of course, Rand wouldn't risk his life to save the Golden World Tree now; if he really wanted to do that, he would just need to ask the goddess Lysa to do it.

Every time Rand thought about the white-haired, golden-eyed elf lady beside him being a goddess, he couldn't help but lose his composure.

Rand rode Crow Cola to the canopy of the Golden World Tree.

The golden leaves looked as if they were made of real gold.

Huge leaves grow abundantly on the thick branches.

The trunk of the Golden World Tree stretches to the horizon.

From here, Rand can see tentacles reaching out from the earth.

It does look like the beginnings of the structure of the Mother Goddess's Kingdom?

It looks quite convincing, but compared to the breathing, pulsating flesh and blood of the Mother Goddess's Kingdom, this is really nothing.

Rand also sensed the power of the God of Struggle and the Apostles of Calamity.

In a sense, Rand is also a messenger of the God of Struggle and the Apostle of the Cataclysm.

Rand also had some understanding of the power of these two gods.

As Morin and Dazhuang reported, it now appears that the eyes of all the gods have been focused here.

At least the eyes of the gods' followers are definitely focused here.

Rand is now in place.

Now we'll see how the battle unfolds.

Crow Cola once again obeyed Rand's command and took flight.

Rand can now use some strategies.

Arriving here early to observe the situation, they obviously have some trump cards in their hands.

However, he won't use it now.

Perhaps vanilla will unleash its divine power and instantly defeat the armies of the revivalists and cultists, successfully saving the World Tree.

If he were to decide the fate of the elves for Vanilla in advance, he might not only waste the trump card he was about to use.

Rand felt it was a pity to negate all of Vanilla's efforts so far.

Although Rand still felt that there might not be enough time.

But this trump card is meant to be a backup plan. If there is any hope, it might be the way out for the elven race. As the elven goddess Lysa said, if the elves can really save the Golden World Tree on their own, she will not interfere.

Rand and Lysa share the same attitude.
