Glancing at the growing army of the abyss behind him, Lucas, dressed in a black robe, finally raised his head and looked at the towering tree in front of him.

Sanctuary? World Tree Royal Court? Oh, it's time for the elves to once again be shrouded in the terror of the demon god.

Due to the interference of obstructing magic, this is already the limit of what teleportation magic can reach. Next, it will be up to him to complete the preparations for the Demon Lord before his appearance.

After all, this is about to become the stage to announce the return of the Demon Lord, so how can it be without death and despair as accompaniment?

Lucas respectfully took out a pitch-black sphere from his arms, held it high in both hands, then bent down and placed it into the black swamp formed under him.

As soon as it came into contact with the black mud, the black sphere sank into it silently. Then the diffusion speed of the black mud suddenly increased several times, and in a blink of an eye, a large area of ​​forest turned into a black swamp, and more monsters began to crawl out of it. This place has turned into an abyss.

All the dead abyss monsters will be reborn here as quickly as possible, and then once again join the attack on the elves.

Finally, as monsters far outnumbering the average Abyssal Wave appeared behind Lucas, the light of the teleportation magic finally faded, and it was time to attack.

In other directions, a black tide of disaster has also arrived...

§226 Darkness Falls (Part 2)

Inside the World Tree Royal Court.

At this time, a team of elves was using magic to monitor the situation in the sea of ​​trees near the World Tree Royal Court.

"Captain, will the Demon God's followers really come to attack the Royal Court?"

An elf girl who was taking a rest just woke up at this moment. She stretched herself and looked at her captain.

They were all elite troops in charge of the abyss defense line before. This time, considering that there was a high possibility that abyss monsters would participate in the attack on the World Tree Royal Court, they were also mobilized, and their captain was temporarily pulled away to learn some knowledge about the demon god's believers.

"Yes. That's right. Judging from the Demon God's followers' past behavior, once they decide on a target, they will attack no matter what."

"Even if I'm no match for you, will you?"

"Well, they..."

Just when the elf captain wanted to say something else, the elf in charge of watching out for magic suddenly issued a warning.

"Teleportation blocking magic has been triggered! Teleportation is occurring in the distance! Location, three centimeters northwest of us." [Elf units, approximately five kilometers]

"Once! Twice! And the number keeps increasing! Captain!"

Feeling the magical notifications ringing like an alarm clock, the elf in charge of observation looked at his captain in panic.

"Philo, don't go out. Try to see if you can use magic to see what's happening over there! Kate, warn the royal court immediately! They're coming! Everyone else, prepare to evacuate!"

""yes! ""

With a uniform response, everyone began to move in an orderly manner. Some woke up their teammates who were still resting, while others began to dismantle the camp and prepare to return to the trunk of the World Tree Royal Court to prepare for battle.

"Captain! It's the Abyssal Tide!"

Since she was previously responsible for defending the Abyss stronghold, Filo recognized these "old acquaintances" at a glance.

"There's a figure in the front, and it seems like they've dropped something into the ground! Abyss monsters are still being teleported from behind!"

"What about the quantity?"

“Too many to count!”

After saying that, Filo waved her hand and projected the scenery she saw into a light screen.

"hiss--"

Looking at the densely packed and still increasing number of black monsters, even though everyone present had been through battles for a long time, they couldn't help but gasp.

The monsters that should have rushed forward mindlessly as soon as they appeared were now showing their fangs and claws, but they still shrank behind the human figure and did not dare to move.

The other party has no plans to attack for the time being, which should be a good thing, but this abnormal situation at the moment makes the elf captain feel anxious.

After all, if it was just a mindless wave of the abyss, they could resist it in an orderly manner, but what if those monsters learned to obey orders?

The figure leading the abyss wave must have noticed their prying eyes, but he acted as if he didn't care at all, as if he didn't mind being discovered, and was still gathering the abyss monsters on his own.

"Quick! Everyone! Grab your equipment! Evacuate immediately!"

"Yes!!!"

At this moment, the World Tree Royal Court was also in a state of minor chaos.

"Abyssal waves have been discovered three miles to the west. There are too many to count!"

"Abyssal waves have been detected two miles to the north. They are gathering and increasing in number!"

"No abyssal waves have been detected in the east yet, but teleportation magic has been activated, three feet away!"

"Abyssal waves have been detected two miles to the south. They have assembled, but have not yet launched an attack!"

Inside the command room, intelligence gathered by external elf teams was constantly being gathered, causing considerable chaos at the scene.

"Order all outer teams to evacuate!"

Amidst the chaos, a heroic voice suppressed the voices of the crowd and began to issue orders.

"Order the combat teams to board the defense lines and prepare to face the Abyssal Tide! Gather the guests and activate teleportation magic to transfer them! Prepare to activate the Giant Tree Defense!"

""yes!!!""

As the orders were issued one after another, the command room became chaotic again, but this time everyone was obviously much more orderly.

"call--"

Looking at the scene in front of him, the white elf general in military uniform took a deep breath. This moment had finally arrived.

Although the Demon God's followers were gathering the Abyss Wave army outside the World Tree King's Court to prepare for an attack, she felt a little more relaxed. After all, the previous oppressive feeling of not knowing when the other party would attack was the most uncomfortable.

"report!"

Suddenly, an elf in charge of communication shouted to her.

"Say!"

"According to the report from Kate's team, a being suspected of being able to command abyssal monsters has appeared in the abyssal waves!"

"What?! Is this true?!"

The heartstrings that had just relaxed a little instantly tightened again. If the abyss waves were no longer monsters that charged in without thinking, then the difficulty of dealing with their attacks would undoubtedly increase a lot. What was even more terrifying was that this might interfere with the soldiers' previous experience and cause them to misjudge the situation.

After all, the abyss waves they had faced in the past were just a group of powerful but brainless monsters. As long as they dealt with them properly, it would not be difficult to stop them.

But once those monsters can be commanded, the difficulty of the battle will undoubtedly increase a lot.

Now they can only hope that the other party cannot perfectly command these monsters, otherwise a tough battle will be waiting for them.

Since Lady Merceris needed to be on guard against the possible emergence of possessors of the Demon God's will, they had to deal with these battles on their own.

This is not because Melceris does not want to take action to destroy the abyss, but because when the strength reaches Melceris's level, even a slight difference, such as whether or not there is a preemptive attack or whether there is sufficient magic power, may change the direction of the battle.

Once she was ambushed by the demon's will while clearing these abyssal waves, she would most likely be put at a disadvantage in the following battle, and her already insufficient combat power would become even more embarrassing.

Although they didn't know the strength of the Demon God's Will Possessed body because they hadn't fought yet, considering that the opponent was the Demon God who had almost destroyed the world, Melceris and the other two still prepared for the worst.

After all, the shadow cast by the devil on everyone in the world is really too big.

Even though they knew that the other party was just a possession of will and could never exert the power they had in the past, they did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

After all, if something unexpected happens, the elves will face a devastating crisis.

§227 Darkness Falls (Part 2)

"Everyone please assemble!"

Inside the World Tree Royal Court, the elven girls were constantly gathering the guests who had come to the festival, preparing to evacuate and transfer them, so as to prevent them from being affected by the battle that was about to break out.

"What happened?"

In response to the guests' inquiries, the elf girls did not directly tell them that the World Tree Royal Court was about to be attacked by the abyss waves, but simply gathered them together and prepared to transfer them to the pre-prepared teleportation array.

Of course, the destination of the transfer is naturally not within the World Tree Royal Court, but inside an abyss stronghold that has been preliminarily rebuilt, where the original garrison will protect these guests to ensure their safety.

Whether the festival can continue after this attack depends on the outcome of the battle.

brush--

brush--

As the light of teleportation magic flashed again and again, the guests were transferred away in an orderly manner, while some elf girls were looking around to see if there were any guests who were missed.

"Report! No one was left behind!"

"Report! This side too!"

As each area was inspected, the elf girls gathered together again.

"Okay, let's go take shelter too."

As they spoke, everyone ran towards the shelter inside the giant tree. They were not strong enough to fight on the front line, but they still had a job they could be responsible for - treating the wounded who might appear in the next battle.

On the other side, the defense line surrounding the giant tree was also being activated in full swing.

Surrounding the giant tree, countless trees and vines emerged from the ground, intertwined and entwined, forming a tall natural wall. Various magic spells were attached to this wall to ensure its solidity.

In the large area in front of the city wall, the elves have used natural magic to dig trenches in the ground and create trip ropes made of strong vines.

Although these small obstacles will be quickly overcome by the abyss waves with their absolute advantage in numbers, they can still delay the attack speed of the monsters in the first wave to some extent, and even cause some abyss monsters to die from trampling on each other to relieve some pressure.

When facing the abyssal waves, a city defense battle is necessary. After all, no one would want to become a part of them after their death and kill their former companions.

And facing the terrifying number of abyssal waves, no one would want to fight them head-on unless they are much stronger than those monsters.

Once this line of defense shows signs of collapse, they will immediately retreat to the rear line of defense and completely abandon this line of defense.

Of course, after they evacuate, this line of defense will still play a final role and bring a little fireworks surprise to the monsters in the abyss wave.

A little further back, on the trunks of the giant trees, the elves' most elite archers have gathered. Their mission is to provide continuous fire support to the front line from a high vantage point, so as to reduce the pressure faced by the front line.

They have been divided into arrays and will take turns shooting once the battle officially begins to ensure that the abyss waves are always covered by their arrows.

The longbows in their hands are all equipped with enchantments such as penetration and stability so that they can sustain long-term battles.

Behind them, various magic arrows have been neatly stacked together according to categories so that they can replenish arrows at any time. At the same time, there are also people responsible for constantly replenishing the consumed arrows.

Apart from these archers, how can such a large-scale battle be without the presence of mages?

I saw that a large number of golden elf magicians had already assembled in groups, and various group magics were ready to be used, ready to give the enemy a head-on blow at any time.

They all wear the same robes, which can help them attract the free magic power around them to reduce their consumption when casting spells.

As for the staffs in their hands, each person made some small modifications to their personal style on a relatively unified basis to suit their own habits.

This staff is mainly used to assist in guiding joint spellcasting, making the casting of group magic faster and more stable.

At that time, these golden elf wizard groups will transform into magic turrets, wantonly bringing down magic storms symbolizing death on the enemy.

"Quick! Everyone, take your positions! Get ready for battle! The enemy is gathering and could attack at any moment!"

On the front line of defense, a white elf was commanding everyone, and then she received a communication from the command room.

"What?! This time, the Abyssal Tide might have a commander, instead of just mindless monsters?!...Okay, I'll tell them right away."

After hanging up the magic, her brows furrowed in a rare frown, but she immediately suppressed them and put on a calm look.

After all, she is the person in charge of this section of the defense. Once she shows any uneasiness, it will definitely affect the mentality of others, so even if the news is bad, she can only pretend to be calm.

However, necessary measures must be taken.

"All captains assemble!"

With her order, the captains on this line of defense came to her one after another.

"Everyone, the abyssal wave we are facing this time is very special."

Scanning the resolute faces of the people before him one by one, the white elf continued.

"According to intelligence, there may be a leader behind this wave of the Abyss. So, stop treating them as mere beasts! Treat them as thinking enemies! Be wary of any unusual actions they might take. If you notice anything unusual, report it to me immediately or seek help. Got it?"

"Yes!"
