Chapter 2754: Spoils of War

On the plains in front of the Aier Great Forest, his side's 500,000 Wolf Cavalry were marching at high speed on the plains. After the War Overlord was upgraded to seven stars, his side's marching speed increased by another 24%.

Su Xiao stood on the back of the Demon Flame Dragon Batos, looking down at the forest in the distance. The area of the Aier Great Forest was large, but compared to the entire Southern Territory, it wasn't considered large.

Flying to a few kilometers in front of the Aier Great Forest, Su Xiao vaguely saw the faint light in the forest, and a sense of threat attacked from below.

Bang, bang, bang...

Arrows, each fully three meters long and clinging with green patterns, flew out from the forest, heading straight for the Demon Flame Dragon Batos.

These few thousand arrows broke through waves of air. If Batos were hit, it would absolutely be killed on the spot, without any suspense.

Dragon fire spewed, burning the flying arrows. Su Xiao leaped onto Batos's dragon head and drew the Zhan Long Shan at his waist.

"Blade Dao · Kill."

Whoosh—a blood-colored streak slashed out, and the giant arrows that had just penetrated the dragon fire were all slashed to pieces.

Inside the forest below, 260,000 Morning Glow Warriors and 500,000 elite Elf warriors formed a loose formation among the trees. They were the strongest troops the Elf race could bring out. If this battle were lost, the Elf race could only close their eyes and wait for death.

There was only the sound of bowstrings being drawn in the forest. All Elf warriors were ready for battle. The forest was their home field; here, they could exert 120% of their combat power.

"Prepare to intercept!"

A shout spread out. A few seconds later, the ground in the forest showed a sense of vibration. Orc Hero Worpol was the first to rush into the forest.

Bowstrings vibrated, and dozens of arrows attacked Worpol simultaneously. Only to see the war hammer in Worpol's hand horizontal, his body tilted, and the mount wolf beneath him immediately leaped sideways.

Clang, clang, clang...

Arrows shot onto the war hammer in Worpol's hand. Three of them penetrated the armor on his chest. His large hand waved, snapping the arrows on his chest.

The mount wolf lunged forward with all its might. After landing, it had already appeared in front of a Morning Glow Warrior.

The war hammer in Worpol's hand swung up, bringing a whimpering sound of wind. The Morning Glow Warrior in front of him raised his war blade to block. In the previous battle, he had exchanged blows with Worpol and didn't fear this old opponent.

Thud.

An air wave spread. The long-handled war hammer swung past, the war blade shattered, and the hammer head smashed into the chest of that Morning Glow Warrior. His upper body shattered instantly, turning into a large piece of flesh and blood splashing toward the rear, some broken bones piercing through trees that several people could embrace.

"Hahaha."

Warpol laughed ferociously as the direwolf beneath him charged, and the long-handled war hammer in his hand flipped, smashing into a giant tree.

Another thud, and this giant tree turned into a large piece of moist broken wood, shooting forward, knocking more than a dozen Morning Glow Warriors back repeatedly.

"Kill, leave none alive!"

The war hammer in Worpol's hand pointed forward, and one Wolf Cavalry after another rushed past from his left and right sides.

Dense giant arrows attacked from the front. The Wolf Cavalry charging in the front were immediately blown away in a large area. Some Gray Orcs were nailed to the trees, and some mount wolves fell to the ground howling.

The Elf race had already prepared for an ambush, and the effect was obvious. However, the Wolf Cavalry's charging speed was too fast. The giant arrows of the Elf warriors needed to accumulate power for half a minute before they could be shot, and they also needed the blessing of natural power.

One Wolf Cavalry after another, with the advantage of charging speed, swarmed into the Aier Great Forest. Killing enemies required cutting down trees first; most Elf warriors were in the trees.

In an instant, the trees in the front part of the Aier Great Forest fell in a large area in a very short time.

Chaotic fighting began. The shouting and killing and miserable screams continued in the Aier Great Forest. The Elf warriors hadn't realized a very serious thing, which was that the enemies they were facing were already completely different from yesterday.

A Wolf Cavalry with an arrow stuck in his neck was fighting a Morning Glow Warrior. The saw-bladed great sword in this Wolf Cavalry's hand slashed wildly forward. After successive crisp sounds, that Morning Glow Warrior who raised his sword to block almost died on the spot. He felt as if he were a pitiful radish, and the enemy was nailing him into the ground.

Clang~

The long sword flashing with green light shattered. This Morning Glow Warrior widened his eyes. The next moment, he was slashed to death by several blades, and the Wolf Cavalry who killed him pulled the arrow out of his own neck. Observing carefully, one could find that the wound on his neck was gradually healing. This was the buff of the War Overlord.

When using cold weapons, each attack carried 120 points of real damage. This real damage acted on the Elf race's body, and once or twice didn't have a fatal effect.

If it acted on the weapon, it would cause the weapon's durability to slide rapidly, eventually leading to the weapon breaking. On the battlefield, having no weapon was equivalent to death.

The Wolf Cavalry Legion, like a torrent, rushed into the Aier Great Forest. The current Wolf Cavalry were prepared by Su Xiao to deal with the Duoyin Empire. If even the Elf race couldn't be defeated, then there was no qualification to confront Duoyin.

Facts proved that the Wolf Cavalry Legion didn't disappoint Su Xiao. Half an hour after the battle started, his side gained an overwhelming advantage. All attributes increased by 20 points, all ability levels increased by lv. 10, HP limit increased by 45%, physical defense increased by 30 points—with this pile of buffs, the Elf race simply couldn't hold on.

Looking down from above, one could clearly see that his side's 500,000 Wolf Cavalry were charging all the way. Except for when they encountered the Morning Glow troops and fought chaotically for more than an hour, at other times, it was basically a charge all the way.

Three hours after the battle started, the Elf race's troops suffered more than 30% casualties, and small-scale fleeing phenomena appeared.

Five hours after the battle started, the Elf race's troops suffered more than 70% casualties, morale dropped to 29 points, and large-scale fleeing appeared.

The Wolf Cavalry advanced all the way until "Ailanyier City" appeared in front.

The waterfall splashed and flowed, hitting the edges of the rocks, splashing water flowers, and finally flowing into the water pool below.

The main gate of Ailanyier City was wide open. On both sides of the city gate stood Elf warriors, their weapons all falling beside their feet.

This was the Elf Queen's order. The Elf race had surrendered. Their frontline troops had already been defeated. Continuing to fight was equivalent to letting ordinary Elf warriors die in vain. If they resisted to the death, then they would have to let the civilians pick up weapons.

The Demon Flame Dragon Batos landed from above. Su Xiao leaped down from the dragon's back and walked toward the main gate of Ailanyier City. Wolf Cavalry followed behind him, as well as on his left and right sides.

Walking into the city, Su Xiao found that it was empty. He walked forward along the main street in the center. After walking a long way, stairs leading upward appeared in front, and a great hall stood at a high place in front.

Su Xiao walked up the stairs. Many years ago, Overlord Old Snake Man came here and sent a piece of armor of the Dark Monarch Agamemnon, which was a war trophy of the Elf race. Back then, the Old Snake Man climbed up one step at a time, the reason being that the swords held up by the Elf warriors made it impossible for him to walk up standing straight.

Last time Su Xiao returned to Black Melt City, the Old Snake Man, after getting drunk, laughed and said this matter. He wasn't holding a grudge, but was talking about the Elf race's stubbornness. As long as they promised, they wouldn't go back on it. The Old Snake Man, as an Overlord, not dying in front of the Elf Palace was ironclad proof.

This was the price of failure. Honor would not linger on the loser; shame would.

Wolf Cavalry followed behind Su Xiao. While moving forward, they smashed the stairs beneath their feet.

When Su Xiao arrived directly in front of the Elf Palace, an Elf knelt on one knee in front of the palace, holding a black piece of armor in both hands.

Su Xiao picked up the piece of armor, checked it roughly, and then put it away. This thing was very useful.

Entering the Elf Palace, Su Xiao saw the Elf Queen located inside the palace, as well as several Elf Elders and Elf Princes standing behind the Elf Queen.

"Thank you for not slaughtering my people."

The Elf Queen's expression was still gentle.

"We will withdraw from the Aier Great Forest."

After the Elf Queen said this, her body was somewhat powerless.

"What?"

Bahar looked at the Elf Queen with confusion.

"You attacked the Aier Great Forest, you must want this territory."

"You think too much. This place is full of trees, and after the leaves rot, there is a strange smell. The soil is full of stones. Only you would live in this ghost place all year round. The Southern War Zone is the most fertile land. You actually built a pile of fortresses there? Strange thinking."

Bahar flew over and landed on Amu's shoulder.

"You... aren't for the Aier Great Forest? Then... why did you start a war with us?"

As the Elf Queen spoke, her fists clenched.

"Duoyin can't be beaten, the Northern Territory is cold, so I beat you."

"You, you..."

The Elf Queen was angry. She felt that the War Demon was playing with her. The Elf race was almost beaten flat, and the result was that the enemy didn't even look at the Aier Great Forest? Instead, they cared more about that large piece of territory in the Southern War Zone. That territory, as of yesterday, no longer belonged to the Elf race, but belonged to the Chaos Legion.

Su Xiao sat on a wooden chair, picked up an apple from a table on the side, and bit off a large mouthful with a crunch.

"Take out all you have, or I will kill you all."

Su Xiao was chewing, the sweet and sour juice exploding in his mouth. He didn't think the enemy was stupid. Before he breached the defensive line of the Aier Great Forest, the Elf Queen must have moved the resources stored by the Elf race away, using this as a bargaining chip.

"All..."

The Elf Queen's lips parted.

"Worpol, except for the Elf Queen, kill all the other Elves in the palace. After 30 seconds, kill her too."

As soon as Su Xiao finished speaking, Worpol rushed forward and hammered, hammering an Elf Prince to death. He had been displeased with this guy for half a day; the other party had been glaring at him and was still hiding weapons on his body.

"Please... please don't. We have gems, high-quality wood, and craftsmen who can build cities."

The Elf Queen knew one thing very clearly in her heart, which was that the Chaos Legion's territory was too large now and needed people to help them build cities.

"Not enough. I want Soul Stones, all kinds of secret treasures, and... a fruit."

"Fruit?"

The Elf Queen was even more confused in her heart. She didn't think Su Xiao captured the Aier Great Forest just to take a fruit that could be seen everywhere.

"Fruit..."

The Elf Queen suddenly thought of something. She did know of a fruit, a fruit that the Duoyin King, the Polar Ice Overlord, the Lizard race Elder, and the legendary hero had all fought for.

The Elf Queen came to the very back of the great hall. After taking off the pendant on her neck, she embedded it into a sculpture. The sculpture began to rotate. After turning its back to the Elf Queen, the secret compartment behind the sculpture opened.

The Elf Queen took out an object from inside. She turned around to face Su Xiao.

"Is it this?"

"Damn it!"

Bahar almost rushed forward to end the Elf Queen with one claw, because in the Elf Queen's hand, she was holding a stone slab with a fruit drawn on it.

"Where is this fruit?"

Seeming to notice Su Xiao's unkind gaze, the Elf Queen didn't hesitate and answered immediately:

"It is in the capital of Duoyin." ===== CHAPTER 2755 =====
