Chapter 684 Are you playing with me?
Celia wanted it, and Ross naturally gave it to her.

The predicament that Celia is now facing is that the Elf King is determined not to let this 'elf blessed by the gods' leave the sacred tree and be controlled by him.

Of course, there is also a hidden dilemma: her identity could be exposed at any time.

If the Elf King were to take the time to investigate her identity, at present, Celia feels that the probability of her being exposed is quite high.

Putting everything else aside, Phil's situation is exposed.

Currently, neither Celia nor Elena are at the fourth tier level.

This strength is enough to deal with the beast tide, but the Elven race doesn't lack two fourth-tier mages.

Even though the beast tide had reached outside the royal city, the Elf King was determined not to let the two 'lucky ones' leave the sacred tree and to send other sorcerers to fight the beast tide.

Clearly, the Elf King knew of Celia's plans.

Elena's previous escape had already put him on guard, and he was determined not to let go of her no matter what.

In this situation, unless there is an important matter that requires either Celia or Elena to resolve, forcing the two to leave, the Elf King is unlikely to allow them to depart.

Phil was also caught in the crossfire and was politely "invited" into the sacred tree, where he was not allowed to leave.

“There are many ways to leave. Since you’ve already asked for my help, why are you still thinking of doing it yourself?”

Ross looked at Celia with amusement.

When Celia asked for help, she hoped that the Elf King would have to ask them to help because of the beast tide, instead of letting Ross send them away directly.

Since Celia wants to do this, let's go along with her wishes.

"I...I don't know either."

Celia opened her mouth for a long time, but finally lowered her head, looking a little embarrassed.

Ross found it somewhat amusing.

"Isn't it just that you hope the Elven Royal Court can't solve it, so you'll step in and fix it? This is a small matter; under normal circumstances, I wouldn't need to get involved."

"Hey hey hey..."

Celia lowered her head somewhat embarrassed after her thoughts were exposed.

Ross said, "If it were just the elves on their own, given the current situation, it would be difficult to hold them off, but they have outside help."

"An ally of the Kingdom of Phoenix?"

"Hmm, Phoenix seems interesting. I'll try to visit their territory sometime."

"Well……"

Phoenix isn't exactly friendly to Ista.

Celia felt that she probably wouldn't be able to leave the Kingdom of Phoenix safely now.

"With Phoenix's help, the Elven race should have little difficulty resisting the beast tide..."

Celia was somewhat disappointed.

Ross laughed and said, "So, that's under normal circumstances. But if the beast tide is stronger, there's nothing we can do. After all, Phoenix only sent a few people to help and didn't send a large army in."

"So... what does Lord Ross plan to do?"

"Just slightly accelerate the release of the monsters, um, only accelerate the release of monsters on the Elf King's side."

boom!
Just as Celia was about to say something, she suddenly felt the earth shake violently.

A loud noise came from afar, causing her to stop and come to the edge of the sacred tree, looking into the distance.

A burning flame rose into the sky from the earth.

“That’s the Elven Royal Court’s prized weapon, a forbidden-spell magic cannon,” Elena’s voice came from the side.

Celia looked over, and Elena also turned to look at her, her face full of worry.

"This magical cannon is called Apophis, which symbolizes chaos and destruction among the elves. If this cannon is used..." "it will further enhance the attack capabilities of monsters," Celia added.

Although Elena meant that even forbidden-level weapons were being used, it indicated that the situation was extremely critical.

However, after using it, the situation did not improve; instead, it became more critical.

"Is this also part of Lord Ross's plan?" Celia's eyes flashed with curiosity.

"No, I haven't even started yet." Ross shook his head. "It seems I won't need to take action. With the way the elves are using this, it won't be long before the monsters become even stronger."

"Is this enhancement overall or localized? If it's overall..."

Celia couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"From the local to the whole."

"What about other places..."

Didn't the elves know that using weapons of mass destruction would further enhance the attack capabilities of monsters?

No, they all know that, but if they use this thing, the situation is probably not optimistic.

If the entire Elven army is wiped out...

Celia felt a chill run down her spine.

Just then, Phil's puzzled voice came from beside him: "Why is the Royal Court's resistance so weak? From the beginning until now, they haven't acted like a powerful army at all. If it were... another empire, they probably wouldn't have allowed the beast tide to develop to this extent..."

Celia shook her head: "This beast tide is complementary to the previous wave of pollution. Without the groundwork and sedimentation of the pollution wave, the intensity of the beast tide would not be what it is now. Even if the Holy Court were to face it, it would be very difficult."

"Hmph, the Holy Court? If it were the Holy Court, I'm afraid Radiant City would have fallen by now." Candya's disdainful voice came from beside him.

Celia merely glanced at the other person without saying a word.

If someone from the Kingdom of Phoenix said this, they might react negatively, being elves...

Cantia did not participate in the battle; instead, she served as a guard, 'protecting' Celia and Elena, waiting for the battle to end.

The magic circle in the Elf King's City is fully operational and very stable, with no cracks appearing.

The monsters outside don't have the means to break through the city's magic array, but how long the array can last is still unknown.

"Judging from this situation, are the elves doomed?" Phil asked worriedly.

"What are you talking about? The beast tide at this level is nothing to be concerned about. If you had seen the Age of Calamity, you would know that the disaster at this level is just child's play," Cantia said calmly.

Elves have a longer lifespan than humans, so many elves may have survived from the Age of Calamity.

Celia looked at Cantia and couldn't help but ask, "Elder Cantia, are you a survivor from the Age of Calamity?"

Candya replied calmly, "Of course."

"Could you tell me something about the Age of Calamity?" Celia asked quickly.

"The Age of Calamity, an era too painful to recall..."

Cantia was lost in her memories and slowly began to recount them.

But after listening for a while, Celia realized that what she said was no different from what was described in the book. It was nothing more than pollution and monsters ravaging the world, with plagues, storms, tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other disasters blooming everywhere, as well as mutated sorcerers, lurking mutated sorcerers, and so on, all wreaking havoc on the Starfall Continent.

These are all descriptions in books; they sound terrifying, but they don't feel real.

Celia had to interrupt Cantia: "Elder Cantia, do you know how the final era of calamity ended? Was it the same as described in the book?"

"The general direction is the same, but some details are naturally different."

"for example?"

Cantia didn't continue, but simply said, "Miss Xi should go back and rest. If Miss Xi is curious about the Age of Calamity, there will be plenty of time later."
