Chapter 2742: Peeping and the Son of the World

Moon Fortress, the smell of char and blood mixed together. The enemy's corpses had been dealt with, and the Wolf Cavalry had taken over Moon Fortress.

It was very lively inside the fortress. The War Treants and Ghouls who arrived later had just entered the city when a Treant and a Ghoul had a conflict.

Under the booing of the Gray Orcs, that Treant and Ghoul were about to fight. At this time, the Gray Orcs were surrounding them in a circle, shouting and yelling, while the new members, the Dire Wolves, all hid to the side.

"Enemy army discovered!"

A Wolf Cavalry standing on the city wall shouted. The city gate opened immediately. That's right, this was the style of the Wolf Cavalry legion. Guarding the city was impossible; rushing out to fight the enemy army head-on was their style.

Or rather, the Wolf Cavalry couldn't guard the fortress at all. They were all melee-type, with strong sides and short boards.

The Wolf Cavalry's only long-range means was to use the Elves' bows and arrows. As for accuracy, it was better not to mention it. Whether the arrow was shot out or the bow flew out depended on luck.

From a practical combat value, it was better for the Wolf Cavalry to pick up some large stones and throw them down the city wall than to use bows and arrows. The Gray Orcs' archery talent was likely negative.

The ones approaching Moon Fortress were indeed enemy troops, but there were only a few thousand of them. They were pulling a huge beast that looked like a rhinoceros, pulling carts of wood, loaded with a large amount of food.

The Wolf Cavalry inside the fortress rushed out and surrounded that group of Elven troops of a few thousand scale.

Facing the Wolf Cavalry full of blood, these Elves were somewhat panicked. They were logistics troops; when had they ever seen such fierce Wolf Cavalry?

Not only were these Elves panicked, but those rhinoceros beasts pulling the carts also let out bursts of low moans, almost losing control and fleeing.

After a light count, "Ancient Tree Fortress" sent a total of 42,800 tons of grain, as well as 21,500 tons of various dried meats.

Besides these, there was also a wooden box. This was used to redeem Elven Elder Ruth.

A few minutes later, Su Xiao held the wooden box in his hand, and the Wolf Cavalry who delivered the wooden box retreated respectfully to the side.

【Prompt: You have obtained Ancient Blessing.】

【Ancient Blessing】

Origin: Canglong Continent

Quality: Saint-Spirit-level

Type: Valuable Item (Rare)

Effect: A treasure of the Elves, with no actual effect, but of great significance.

Rating: 1000 points (Saint-Spirit-level item rating is 700–1000 points)

Sale Price: 1250 Soul Coins

Seeing the attributes of this item, Su Xiao immediately thought that it was the Elven Queen who ordered it to be sent.

The value of this thing was high, but in the eyes of the indigenous people of this world, this thing couldn't improve their own strength, avoiding the possibility of helping the enemy. It was the best choice for redeeming hostages. This thing was used to redeem Elven Elder Ruth.

"Release him."

Su Xiao put away 【Ancient Blessing】. When he needed Soul Coins, he would sell this thing to the Reincarnation Paradise. Ultimately, his final goal was to improve his own strength, which was the most important thing.

Hearing Su Xiao's order, Orc Hero Wopol walked toward the city wall. Before long, tens of thousands of Elven civilians walked out of the city gate one after another, led by Elven Elder Ruth.

After Ruth walked out of the fortress, there was disbelief in his eyes. He had thought he was dead for sure.

"Ruth."

Su Xiao sat on the edge of the city wall, holding an apple in his hand, and took a big bite with a crunch. The juice was full, and it was sweet and sour in his mouth.

"You... regretted it? Want to kill me here?"

"Of course not. When you go back, tell the Elven Queen that if she is interested, I can sell this fortress to her."

"?"

Ruth looked up, his expression dull. He had lived for nearly three hundred years, and today he had seen something new.

"I will... convey it to the Queen."

"Old man, don't forget, if you send 90,000 units of food before tomorrow morning, I will return the fortress to you."

Baha spoke. In order to reach this deal, he had specifically popularized with Ruth how much 1 unit of food equaled how many Gelang.

"I will."

Ruth, who was already somewhat high-blooded with anger, walked away quickly. He was afraid that if he stayed a while longer, the War Demon would draw up a land deed and sell the "Moon Fortress" and the land deed separately.

After Ruth was freed, he didn't go to "Ancient Tree Fortress" but rushed to the Elven Forest.

Elven Forest, Elaniel City.

At 9:00 PM that night, inside the lush large hall, the light emitted by various plants made the hall not appear dark.

Ruth walked into the large hall quickly. He was somewhat dusty, and he hadn't even changed his blood-stained clothes.

"It's good that you're okay, Ruth."

The Elven Queen's expression was as usual. When Ruth was just freed, she already knew a certain piece of news. It could be said that the Elven Queen's concentration was very strong.

"Queen, the War Demon's request..."

"I refused."

The Elven Queen smiled, but the hand hidden under the table didn't know when it had already clenched. War Demon, bullying people too much!

"Your decision, I, Ruth, am willing to support at the cost of my life."

"Really?"

The Elven Queen was somewhat moved, and the gaze looking at Ruth... was full of expectation?

"That's right."

Ruth knelt on one knee. He had just been defeated, so naturally, he had to say some nice things. Don't look at the Queen's gentle tone; once she was unhappy, he would be dead, even if he was an Elven elder.

"Since that's the case, Ruth, go and guard Ancient Tree Fortress."

"Eh?"

Ruth, who was old, actually said "Eh." From this, it could be seen how much the Elven Queen's words stimulated him.

"Ancient Tree Fortress now has 500,000 garrison troops. That is the largest fortress of our Elves. Reinforcements from Duoyin are no longer possible. We can only rely on ourselves to beat back the War Demon. The defeat of the Chaos Legion is inevitable, so the War Demon has gone crazy. Now in the Six-Race Alliance, no one is afraid of him, no one wants to die with a madman. He is... a moving natural disaster."

The Elven Queen sighed softly, her tone revealing helplessness.

"But..."

"No buts. You have fought with the War Demon. Don't lose a second time, Ruth."

"Obey."

Elven Elder Ruth hung his head and, after talking to the Elven Queen for a few more sentences, stood up and walked out of the large hall.

While walking, Ruth began to struggle in his heart. He was considering whether he should run away overnight or go to Ancient Tree Fortress.

Compared to the situation in the Elven Forest, Moon Fortress was much livelier.

In the battle during the day, their side lost 30,000 Wolf Cavalry. This number of casualties wasn't much. Although the Elven warriors were beaten and suppressed, they were not without combat power. By the time they fought to the end, the Elven warriors didn't scatter; they couldn't escape at all and chose to fight to the death.

If it weren't for Demon Flame Dragon Barbados spitting dragon flames to carry out aerial suppression, their own casualties would have been even higher. The last few waves of counterattacks by the Elven warriors were extremely fierce.

Before the War Lord was promoted to a seven-star title, every campaign having casualties of tens of thousands was normal. After all, it was a chaotic battle.

Su Xiao currently led 510,000 Wolf Cavalry. Besides these 510,000 Wolf Cavalry, there were 160,000 Wolf Cavalry reserves.

Su Xiao didn't intend to put these 160,000 Wolf Cavalry reserves into the battlefield for the time being. When attacking a fortress, it wasn't the more soldiers the better. The fortress was only so big. Even if broken, the number of Wolf Cavalry that could rush into the fortress was limited.

Therefore, Su Xiao let these 160,000 Wolf Cavalry reserves temporarily serve as logistics troops, responsible for transporting food to Black Melt City. That side had to be stabilized.

The bright moon hung high, and the 160,000 Wolf Cavalry reserves outside the fortress were distributed in the surroundings. A logistics unit that set off from Black Melt City arrived at "Moon Fortress" two hours ago.

A total of 75,420 tons of food were to be sent back to Black Melt City. This could not only make the civilians in Black Melt City no longer hungry, but the other Gray Orc units stationed at their own borders could also receive supplies.

At 2:00 AM in the second half of the night, the 160,000 Wolf Cavalry reserves set off, escorting the logistics unit back to Black Melt City.

The fortress became quiet, and most of the Gray Orcs and Dire Wolves fell asleep in the buildings. Only patrol units remained on the streets.

Inside a two-story small building, the furnishings in the room were simple but very clean. The Elves were relatively good at enjoying life, which could be seen from the fact that they brought wine when fighting.

Su Xiao sat cross-legged on a single bed and meditated. He hadn't made a move much recently, but he felt that his sword technique had improved, especially the sword technique moves he developed himself.

Ending his daily meditation, Su Xiao opened his eyes. Tomorrow morning, he was prepared to attack "Ancient Tree Fortress." As long as he could break through that place, the subsequent "New Moon Fortress" would be buy-one-get-one-free. After breaking through the obstacles of these fortresses, he could consider charging into the Elven Forest.

Su Xiao felt that as long as he occupied the Elven Forest, the titles obtained during the period would be enough to upgrade the War Lord to six stars. After that, using 【Dream Chaser】 to upgrade it, the seven-star War Lord would be achieved.

By then, Su Xiao would consider engaging with the Duoyin Empire. Otherwise, with his current troop strength, he couldn't shake Duoyin's behemoth at all.

Su Xiao wasn't worried about the Duoyin Empire attacking now. The enemy didn't know he could upgrade 【War Lord】 through war. In the eyes of the Duoyin Empire, the Chaos Legion was consuming itself with the Elves, so the Duoyin Empire would absolutely not make a move.

Thinking through these, Su Xiao's plan for the follow-up was clearer. He glanced at the time; it was not even 3:00. He had just meditated and had no sleepiness, so he took out the "Deathmatch" personal terminal and prepared to conduct his first monster deathmatch.

Su Xiao had just taken out the "Deathmatch" terminal and hadn't activated it yet when a very secret fluctuation appeared. Someone was peeping at him.

Su Xiao shifted his gaze toward the window. A few water droplets were sliding down the window.

Blood energy spread with Su Xiao as the center point. After reaching the vicinity of those water droplets, the blood energy formed thread-like shapes and pierced into them.

Su Xiao narrowed his eyes. At this moment, his feeling was somewhat special, as if the surrounding world was vaguely rejecting him.

Discovering this point, Su Xiao determined one thing: the one peeping at him just now was very likely the Son of the World, or someone related to the Son of the World.

Dozens of kilometers away, inside a cave.

"Ah!"

A scream suddenly spread. In the flickering firelight, a girl with silver hair held her head with both hands. A few water droplets floated in front of her. These water droplets were eroded by blood energy, changing from transparent to blood-colored.

The silver-haired girl's pupils also quickly turned blood-red. Su Xiao's blood energy was fine inside his own body; after all, this was his aura. At this moment, invading the silver-haired girl's body was another matter.

"Kill them all... everyone!!"

The silver-haired girl roared, completely losing her mind. Her long hair flew without wind, and blood-colored patterns spread from her neck, climbing onto her face. She pulled out a short blade from her calf and shifted her gaze.

Beside the campfire not far away, two men and one woman were cooking food. They all looked at the silver-haired girl with astonishment. ===== CHAPTER 2743 =====
