Found the BOSS!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOSS?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Imsh’s heart jumped with shock!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he didn’t know what a “BOSS” was, it certainly referred to him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In shock and anger, he quickly drew his Lion Heart Sword and easily slaughtered the unfortunate elf as if cutting down a chicken…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he heard the elves behind him, who were also riding demon beasts and chasing him, react with the same excitement,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy shit! BOSS? Is it real?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s a BOSS among the people up front?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These players… were all from the First Legion, a group of battle maniacs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they had been chasing continuously, they hadn’t paid attention to who they were actually pursuing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway… they were all Half-Beasts, appearing as a small group with quite a few numbers, and their equipment was evidently good, so the pursuit continued to now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that they knew it was a BOSS, the players instantly became excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“BOSS! It must be that Lionheart King mentioned in the story!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s at Lower Gold rank, we can’t beat him, go call someone! Get Rose over here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget about Rose, if she comes, how will we finish off the BOSS!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then go get the Black Dragon! That guy can at least face off against a Gold level! We seize the chance to finish it off!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players’ excited voices echoed from a distance, causing Lionheart King Imsh’s heart to pound with fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elves… because they had demon beasts as mounts, were extremely fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he was injured, and his speed had significantly decreased…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, as a Gold Professional, even when injured, his speed was unmatched by Black Iron rank demon beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as a king, he also had to take care of the other Half-Beast confidants fleeing with him…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already lost an army of thirty thousand…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to abandon these last few dozen Half-Beasts escaping with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, due to his many considerations, he hadn’t completely shaken off the elves until now…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, it seemed that blindly fleeing was also a mistake!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they truly brought the Black Dragon, in his current state, he might indeed fall here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding Half-Beasts understood this truth as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all wore somber expressions, disregarding their injuries. Those with weapons drew them, and those without clenched their fists, addressing their Great King,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great King! Please leave quickly! We’ll stay behind to hold off these elves!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right! You alone… can definitely make it back, taking us with you is a burden!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are our king! As long as you’re alive, the Half-Beasts can rise again!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only if you return… can you avenge our fallen kin!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their voices were passionate, and their gazes were bright and resolute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his subordinates like this, Lionheart King Imsh’s expression grew more complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stopped, wiping the bloodstains from his Lion Heart Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I abandon everyone and flee back alone, what right do I have to be the King of the Half-Beasts?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Imsh’s expression was one of melancholy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other Half-Beasts, hearing this, also had complex expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Imsh raised his longsword once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes turned red, his expression fierce, as he shouted in grief and anger,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aren’t they just a few hundred Black Iron rank elves?! They’ve been chasing us for so long… I’ve had enough! Follow me, let’s take them down together! Then we’ll all go home!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other Half-Beasts heard him and their eyes also turned red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They either clenched their fists or lifted their weapons, shouting as well,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill them! Let’s go home together!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Imsh took a deep breath, his aura surged, and the pressure of a Gold rank erupted, even a faint red glow appeared on his body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He roared, turned, and charged at the elves who had been pursuing him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other Half-Beasts, too, had their morale boosted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They went berserk, turning around and charging with their Great King…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene startled the players who had been chasing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crap! They’re going all out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you afraid of! We have the numbers!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take out the minions first! The BOSS is the main target! Forget about other experience!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right! No holding back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They shouted as well, readying themselves for the assault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Imsh, in shock and anger, saw many elves suddenly raise a kind of weapon that haunted him—steam guns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw these elves aiming at the charging Half-Beasts and pulling the trigger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gunfire erupted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang! Bang! Bang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lionheart King felt sharp pains all over his body, knowing he had been hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, a Gold rank existence was naturally not something mere bullets could kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he exerted his full strength, these bullets were only able to break his skin, unable to penetrate his muscles…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But… it was different for the Half-Beasts around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These Half-Beasts at most had Black Iron Upper strength, many had discarded their weapons, and shields were impossible to keep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, they were almost like live targets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, seven or eight Half-Beasts grunted, falling to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others moaned in pain, suffering varying degrees of injuries…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Lionheart King Imsh’s eyes turned red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bastards! Cowards!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He roared, increasing his speed again, instantly charging into the elves!\u003C\u002Fp>",1103,"2026-06-03T12:38:19.555Z","2026-06-03T12:38:27.252Z",1,"novelbin.me","3d6b2d7bba6aceb32a6ac832a74e56c05abff3b33b9fe752eaaea05404a017ab","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-264","elf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-chapter-262",1431,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Felf-kingdom-game-of-the-world-tree-cover.jpg"]
