Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 381 - 364: Can These Elves Resurrect?

"The Dark Alliance retreated too quickly."

Looking at the still terrifying number of troops outside the city walls, Huo Xu muttered.

As an Underground Dwarf who had participated in many wars, Huo Xu knew far more about the Dark City State Alliance than most.

The Fallen Undead were considered a common vanguard force for the Dark City State Alliance. Generally speaking, unless they broke through the target or exhausted their prepared Undead Army, they would never retreat.

But now, they had stopped the siege of Blade City after losing only half of their undead forces.

This was not normal.

The occurrence of such a situation only meant one thing—the other side had absolute confidence in winning this war.

Therefore... upon realizing that Blade City was even sturdier than imagined and seeing no hope of its downfall, the forces of the Dark Alliance retreated.

This retreat was not an abandonment of the attack but rather like a vicious wolf that had bitten its prey and lurked back into the darkness, conserving its strength, preparing for a better opportunity to deliver a fatal blow...

However, this also indirectly showed that the other party had already recognized the formidable nature of Blade City.

Watching the gradually retreating Undead Army, Huo Xu sighed,

"It seems... this war will last a long time..."

"*I wonder when my master will truly control her authority and make these traitors pay dearly...*"

*That the army of the undead was actually attacking a city that worshiped the Death God...*

*Although the enemy had become Fallen Undead due to the influence of shadow and abyssal forces, nothing was more frustrating than this.*

However... this was the reality of the Death God Church in the Underworld.

Compared to the God of Darkness and Shadow, who had been laying out her plans in the Underworld for millennia, Death God Hela’s influence there was far too small.

*Though her rank might be higher than that of the God of Darkness and Shadow, Holder, a higher rank didn’t mean she could suppress her opponent in all aspects.*

The Underworld had long become Holder’s stronghold. For the Death God Church to tear open a gap under her very eyes and establish a City State Alliance capable of contending with her was already quite an achievement.

*With weak faith power, even the strongest True God could easily be overturned in worldly conflicts.*

*Not to mention, this was a place filled with dark powers, infiltrated by Holder, and closer to the abyss!*

Of course, what Huo Xu didn’t know was that, at this very moment, the Dark Alliance was also shocked by the strength demonstrated by Blade City.

And among them, the elf who seemed to have suddenly appeared, who fought fiercely and disregarded life and death, possessing a strange power that could absorb the Soul Fire of the undead and utterly crush the replenishing ability of the Undead Army... this was the key reason the Dark Alliance chose to retreat.

Within the high ranks of the Dark Alliance, there were already people beginning to investigate this peculiar elf that appeared on the battlefield this time.

In the rear of the Dark Alliance’s army, in a temporarily constructed camp.

A humanoid creature with a black cloak draped over its purplish body stood before a cluster of burning black flames, chanting something.

His head resembled a large octopus, with four continuously writhing tentacles near his mouth, trailing long down to his chest, glistening with a reflective, transparent mucus.

This was a Spirit Sucking Monster.

Like the Underground Dwarfs and Underground Gnomes, the Spirit Sucking Monsters were also an intelligent race in the Underworld.

They were natural spellcasters, adept at mental and soul spells, most of whom worshiped the God of Darkness and Shadow, Holder. The one before us was the City Lord of an underground city-state in the Dark City State Alliance called Olinduor, a Gold Middle Rank Bloodline Mage.

Olinduor was an underground city-state not far from Blade City, constantly having trade skirmishes with Blade City. The two city-states were historical enemies.

This time, the forces besieging Blade City were led by this City Lord, who had been subdued by Witch Demon King Pelonie.

Of course, it was impossible for the forces of Olinduor to assemble such a powerful army on their own in ordinary times.

This was all because, after Witch Demon King Pelonie consolidated the forces of the Dark Alliance, she used centralized means to rally this army from the nearby city-states... ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

At this moment, the City Lord of Olinduor stood in the camp, chanting obscure incantations.

As he chanted, the floating black flames before him quickly expanded and finally turned into an eye composed of deep flames.

The eye exuded an intimidating pressure, compelling the City Lord of Olinduor to lower his proud head slightly and said with respect,

"Great Lord of Moso City, Witch Demon King, your loyal subordinate has important matters to report..."

"Our siege of Blade City has suffered a setback. Blade City has sought the support of elves, and those elves are very peculiar and numerous. Their weapons seem to be blessed by a True God from the ground world, dealing massive damage to the undead..."

"We have already dispatched investigators and made preliminary understandings of these elves’ origins. They come from the ground world and appear to worship a strange deity named Yve..."

"I suspect... this war has already attracted the attention of other great entities..."

The commander of the allied forces disclosed all he knew.

Having heard his words, the eye made of flames flickered slightly, and a dignified and profound voice sounded,

"I am aware of the situation."

"I will inform my master of this matter and ask for her decision."

"The forces of the Silent Alliance have always been scattered and not united. Since Blade City has found strong reinforcements, you should retreat and head north to support Shanatal..."

Shanatal was another underground city-state that belonged to the Silent Alliance, also one of the primary targets in this Dark City State offensive.

However, previously, Blade City was the primary target, while Shanatal was secondary.

Shanatal was located close to other Silent Alliance city-states, making support convenient, and thus, the pressure was not significant.

"I understand."

The City Lord of Olinduor bowed deeply to show his respect.

...

The Dark Alliance had retreated!

When the army besieging Blade City finally withdrew, the entire city erupted in festive cheers.

Traveling merchants once again dared to enter the city to trade with the dwarfs and gnomes, and the commercial activities of Blade City resumed once more.

Brin also breathed a long sigh of relief.

He finally didn’t have to go bankrupt!

However, even as he exhaled in relief, his mind remained vigilant.

Unlike the citizens, the Divine Favored Huo Xu had already shared his concerns with him, and he knew that this war was far from over—the Dark Alliance had merely temporarily abandoned their attack on Blade City.

While contemplating how to arrange the city’s defenses in the future, he suddenly received news that left him both shocked and clear-headed about the recent chain of events—

"What? You mean... these elves who supported us all have the ability to not die? That they revive in the ground world after their death?!"
