Chapter 656 Everyone Here is Trash

"In the end..."

Elena looked at the royal guards in front of her and sighed inwardly.

After much hesitation, this step has finally come.

She had witnessed the resistance from the royal guards over the past few days.

After these monsters emerged from underground, they seemed to undergo some kind of peculiar change. They appeared to form a strange resonance with the Elf Forest, and their strength was enhanced.

The enhancement wasn't in their rank; rather, they gained a completely new ability: a rapid self-healing ability.

Unless they are wiped out by concentrated fire in a short period of time, they can quickly recover and catch the royal guards off guard.

Not all members of the guard are rank four or higher mages.

In the realm of magic, those above the fourth rank are considered the backbone. Even a vast empire cannot possibly have a large elite force specifically formed by mages above the fourth rank. Small squads are fine, as they can cooperate with each other, but with a larger number of people, each mage is more likely to cause interference, which is not conducive to high-rank mages displaying their skills.

Basically, all empires choose to have a fourth-tier mage lead the team, and then form a formation with third-tier or lower mages, with others assisting the fourth-tier mage who is the leader in battle.

The royal guards also used this method, initially crushing the monster horde.

But as the monsters kept pouring out, even with their rotational fighting style, they were unable to resist the seemingly endless tide of monsters.

Even with the addition of an elite investigation team.

Finally, Louis, at the sixth rank, also made his move.

When Elena saw Louis make his move, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, relaxed slightly.

But soon after, Louis stopped his actions and chose to lead the investigation team to withdraw, leaving the royal guards to resist.

If this behavior had been performed by any other elven elder, Elena might have suspected that the other party had ulterior motives.

However, Louis did not follow up on her after she contacted him, which made her feel slightly favorably towards him and willing to believe that this elven elder was not like the elven king.

His departure may have been due to discovering some problem that forced him to leave.

As the royal guards moved their defensive line back and during the strategic adjustment, the beast tide unexpectedly broke into a village and slaughtered everyone in the village. Elena became restless.

Hesitation turned into decision.

If the Elven Royal Court is allowed to adjust its defenses in this way, unexpected events will only increase.

She needs to share information with the investigation team to find a solution to the beast tide.

"Perhaps, in the end, we still need to go inside to find a solution."

Elena took a deep breath, raised her hand to summon a puppet, and it rushed into the royal guard's defensive line from the sky, instantly shattering the charging monsters.

The sudden appearance of Elena startled many sorcerers, but when they looked up and saw it was Elena, they were immediately invigorated.

"It's Elena! God's lucky one!"

"Great, we are saved!"

Elena's quiet departure caused little disturbance.

The Elf King ordered a news blackout, and apart from high-ranking officials or their close associates, such as the investigation team that accompanied Louis, most people knew about Elena's departure.

Other empires may know, but they haven't publicized it because they haven't tracked Elena's whereabouts. If they did, and Elena returned, it would be a slap in their face.

Therefore, these ordinary sorcerers were unaware of Elena's situation.

Upon seeing Elena approach, they immediately showed signs of excitement.

Even if someone knew about Elena's 'disappearance,' they wouldn't say anything at this point.

Of course, the moment they saw Elena, they sent news of her appearance back to the Elven Royal Court.

Elena glanced at their actions but did not stop them. Instead, she chose to join the others in repelling and annihilating this wave of monsters.

With Elena's arrival, the guards were greatly relieved of pressure after she separated the monsters' life elements. Although they couldn't instantly kill them like they had with Celia, they could still significantly weaken the monsters' defenses and reduce their regeneration abilities. Before long, the guards successfully wiped out this wave of monsters.

But at this moment, the Elven Royal Court also hurriedly sent people over.

The leader of the group was Elder Cantia, who had once protected Elena.

She rushed over, even running up to other people several times.

She breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was indeed Elena.

Then, her expression turned stern.

"Where have you been? You've got some nerve! Do you know what the consequences will be?"

Upon hearing Cantia's words, Elena, who had been in a good mood, immediately turned cold.

"So what? What can you do to me? If you're so capable, kill me. Cantia, with that foul mouth of yours, you'll die one day."

"you……"

"Cough cough..."

A voice came from the side, and Candya's expression, which was about to turn angry, immediately changed, and she barely managed to hold back.

Elena squinted at the elf she didn't recognize.

To make Cantia so obedient...

Undoubtedly the Elf King.

Although he was disguised.

Elena was looking at him, and he was looking at Elena.

He smiled and said, "Since Elena is willing to show herself, it means she has already figured out what she wants to do. Let's go back with us."

Elena curled her lip indifferently, "I really didn't expect you to come and greet me in person. Alright, lead the way."

The conversation among the group was kept secret from outsiders. Others only saw Elena exchange a few words with the approaching elven elder and the support team before leaving.

When they looked again, the captain of the guard had already come to call for reinforcements, instructing them to prepare to continue defending against the next wave of attacks.

“Miss Elena has a more important task. She is God’s lucky one and needs to help us find the root cause of the disaster. Don’t think about having her stay here and fight alongside us forever. That will only keep us in a battle forever, without end.”

"Surely we can kill all these monsters eventually?"

"Do you know how many of these monsters there are? And how long it will take to kill them all?"

"..."

……

Elf King's City, Sacred Tree.

The Elf King removed his disguise, revealing his original appearance, and went to a meeting room with the other elders and Elena.

Elena looked around and saw that they were all from the Elf King's faction.

The Elf King looked at Elena and asked calmly, "Tell me, what have you been doing all this time? Why did you abandon Candya?"

"Don't talk like Cantia has anything to do with me," Elena said irritably. "I don't know her at all."

Cantia frowned, about to speak, when the Elf King gave her a look.

Elena glanced at Cantia and continued, "With Cantia around, everything is much less efficient. She always manages to mess things up that should be going smoothly. Plus, you guys are incompetent. So, to resolve the calamity for the elves, I need to act alone."

His words offended everyone present.
