Game of the World Tree Chapter 683: Pray to the goddess

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of the World Tree game!

A pitiful little amount of experience points were recorded, but that was completely unable to attract Ye Ye’s attention.

He looked at the blood still dripping from the tip of the sword, and his whole body could not help but tremble.

The feeling of killing demons and hunting monsters is completely different from killing people.

Even though Ye Ye had already been mentally prepared when he participated in this war mission, when he personally killed an old woman who rushed up, he still felt a little shaken in his heart...

Forget it if you are a soldier.

This is an old man.

An old man old enough to be his grandmother!

Even though he knew this place was in a game, the full immersion in his five senses and years of education still greatly stimulated and shocked this boy who was only fifteen or sixteen years old in reality...

"Brother Gale..."

"They...they seem...not soldiers..."

The boy's voice was trembling.

"I know..."

Besides, the deep voice of Facing the Gale came.

The bold warrior player looked at the clothes he had just dropped after killing the enemy. His original excited expression had long since disappeared, and instead turned into a solemn expression.

Although he was not as overwhelmed as Ye Ye, he was still feeling heavy at this moment.

"Elf Kingdom" has been operating in reality for more than a year, and in the game for nearly five years.

In these countless days and nights, players have long regarded this place not only as a casual and entertainment game, but also no longer regard those lively and interesting NPCs as groups of simple data.

Especially for veteran players.

They will bond with the NPC because of their friendship, and they will become close friends with the NPC, and they will even fall in love with the NPC...

If the game didn't have a love system, otherwise... there would probably be a lot of players who would become partners with NPCs.

Maybe it seems ridiculous to ordinary people, maybe it seems ridiculous to those in reality.

But only players who are immersed in the game understand that "Elf Kingdom"... is no longer an ordinary game for them.

This is their other home.

An irreplaceable spiritual harbor.

Unconsciously, no old players will treat game characters the same way they treat NPCs in other games.

Every game character here has his own story, and everyone is a living being.

Even if...the other party is an enemy.

The old half-orc priest who fought alone until the last moment for the tribe, the Lion-Hearted King Imsh who shed his last drop of blood for the race and finally stood and died, the half-elf Oros who did not hesitate to fall into the darkness for the goddess...

They all left a deep impression on the players.

Similarly, there are too many in the game, and there are countless stories behind each NPC, some of which are touching and some of which are lamentable.

For this reason, when one realizes the true identity of the soldiers attacking the city, even an adult like Hayate Ba cannot help but feel heavy...

Everything that happens in Elf Kingdom has a reason.

There are not only causes, but also corresponding causes and effects.

These people who besiege the city are by no means generated out of thin air like other games, but are themselves part of the entire game ecology...

They must have their own families and lives in the game.

Their life and death will inevitably have corresponding impacts.

For this reason, it is difficult not to think of the story behind it when facing the strong wind.

Forget it if they are soldiers, the moment they become soldiers, they should be prepared to die in battle.

However, these people are obviously not.

"They should be villagers from nearby villages and towns...and they are all old, weak, sick and disabled..."

Looking at the clothes and appearance of the siege soldiers, the elf warrior sighed slightly.

"Villers...why are the villagers attacking the city? Are they all believers bewitched by the evil god? Or are their minds controlled?!"

Yeye asked rhetorically.

Knowing the identities of these people, he felt that it would be difficult for him to mention the sword to them again.

The boy quickly put away his weapon and activated his skill [Eye of Faith].

The Eye of Faith was activated, and Yeye immediately saw the light of faith of the civilians in his field of vision, but it was not the red of the pagans, but almost all the green of the unbelievers...

The only ones with red light, and those with a high-spirited meaning in the red, belong to the faith of the righteous god, not the dark evil believers.

"Not a follower of the evil god..."

The young man murmured.

He did not pause, and continued to release the soul-purifying life magic on the "soldiers" who were still climbing up the city wall... which he had specially learned after becoming a priest.

However, after the purifying light passed, these civilians who attacked the city still showed no reaction.

They are still rushing towards the players crazily, with despair and fear, and contradictory, and die worthlessly in a very tragic, quite funny, and quite pitiful way...

They are not extraordinary beings and cannot even touch the hems of the players' clothes.

"I am neither a believer in the evil **** nor my mind controlled, so why do I have to die?"

Yeye said blankly.

"Don't be in a daze, keep fighting! I'm afraid this is exactly what the imperial army is trying to do to shake us!"

Facing the blast reminded me from the side.

Although his face was equally gloomy, he did not stop fighting.

Looking at the civilians who fell under the swords of the elf warriors one after another, a trace of strangeness and confusion flashed in Yeye’s eyes:

"Brother Hayate, isn't our mission to save the civilians in the territory and promote the belief of the goddess? Why..."

"Because it's a war."

Facing the strong wind, I sighed silently.

"There is no good or evil in war. Since they choose to fight, they are our enemies."

"Not to mention, this is still a game."

He said.

It's just that it's more like talking to myself.

Taking a deep breath, the elf warrior looked at Ye Ye:

"If you don't adapt, just quit and do logistics. The war in "Elf Kingdom" is indeed a bit hardcore, but... war is so cruel."

"I know you feel uncomfortable, but don't worry...this is only temporary. You will feel much better after you quit the game."

Yeye opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

But before him, the girl Nana who had been silent spoke first:

"I can't do it, so I'm going to rest first."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the city wall.

Yeye was stunned for a moment and quickly chased after him. However, after a few steps, his attention was attracted by the voices of several militiamen.

"Grandpa Hans, Grandpa Hans, calm down! Calm down! I am Finn!"

A young human who looks to be in his twenties is holding an old man with gray hair, looking anxious, while the old man has red eyes and is struggling...

Yeye knows this young man named Fein.

It is said that he was originally a villager from a nearby village. After the death of his parents, he chose to come to Augus City to make a living. Then he encountered war and was recruited as a soldier by the Red Maple Kingdom.

However, after the players captured the city, he quickly converted to the goddess's faith under the propaganda of the players, became a devout believer, and took the initiative to become a militia to help the players defend the city...

Yeye also received help from him once. When he and Nana were visiting Augus City, they couldn't find the blacksmith shop. At that time, the other party helped lead the way, and his attitude was quite enthusiastic.

"Kill me! Let me die! Let me die! Kill me! Let me die!"

The old man in the young man's arms kept struggling, his voice was hoarse, and his expression was filled with despair.

Obviously, this is a "soldier" who has just climbed up the city wall.

"Why? Why are you doing this? Calm down! You still have Sabina and Marcus!"

Young man Fein persuaded.

After hearing what he said, the old man immediately burst into tears:

"Dead! Sabina has been killed by them! If I don't die... Marcus will also be killed by them..."

"Ugh...kill me! Little Finn, please let me die! Let me die! This way little Marcus can live!"

Looking at the crying old man and the panicked young man, Yeye's eyes widened and he was at a loss.

At this moment, a player in a divine costume suddenly appeared behind the old man.

He stretched out his hand and pointed lightly at the old man, and silently recited a spell, causing the old man to fall asleep.

It's All-Star Achan.

"Brother Can!"

Yeye shouted subconsciously.

All-star A-chan glanced at him, nodded to him, and then continued to turn his attention to the old man.

He lifted up the old man's sleeve, glanced at the old man's wrist, and frowned slightly.

"Master Elf, what happened to Grandpa Hans? He is not like this... He was not like this before! What did he say about dying?!"

Young man Finn asked anxiously.

All-star Achan looked serious:

"It's a blood contract..."

"Blood Pact?!"

"Yes, he was forced to sign a blood contract to attack the city and die...and it was a two-way blood contract. If he did not die, the person on the other side of the blood contract would die..."

All-star Acan said solemnly.

As he spoke, his expression gradually became serious:

"These people are forced to be cannon fodder for the siege."

"This...how is this possible!?"

The young militiamen turned pale.

Then, he clenched his fist:

"These evil... **** nobles!"

He gritted his teeth.

Yeye was also stunned, and then couldn't help but ask:

"Brother Can, then...can this blood contract be unlocked?"

"It's hard..."

All-star A-chan shook his head.

“From the moment the blood contract is signed, it will only disappear after the contract is fulfilled or the contract is broken.”

He sighed.

After hearing the words of All-Star Acan, the young militiamen were refreshed:

"But...you said it's difficult, but you mean there is a way?!"

"Yes, there is."

All-star Achan nodded.

He took a deep breath and said:

"There is only one person in the Elf Forest who can invalidate the blood contract, and that is the goddess of life, Her Majesty Eve."

"We once played in the Elf Forest... The elves encountered a similar situation. It is said that in the end, it was the goddess who gave the power of purification and helped to unlock the blood contract."

"So... I can only pray to the goddess in order to get a response from the goddess."

……

Outside Augus City, the Red Maple Kingdom’s army is stationed.

Otto stood on the hillside, sometimes looking at the "army" that was constantly surging towards Augus City, and sometimes stretching out his hand to stare at a dark gray badge and checking it repeatedly.

The badge was given to him by Anos. It is an artifact that can sense and collect the life force and soul within a radius of twenty kilometers, and directly sacrifice it to the master of the artifact, that is, Dusk and Arnos, the **** of the setting sun.

However, when looking at the badge, Otto's brows gradually wrinkled, and a trace of confusion and confusion flashed in his eyes.

After pondering for a moment, he looked at the tall and thin nobleman behind him, Viscount Wells, the current head of the Wells family:

"Karl, how many more people are there to be sent up?"

Karl's face was pale, and he looked at Otto with fear and awe. He couldn't help trembling and stammered:

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, almost...almost...there are twenty thousand..."

Otto frowned slightly:

"Are there no more people?"

"No...no more...time is running out...plus...plus the prisoners we captured and the villagers captured in the nearby villages, this is all the people over 40 years old...nearby In the villages and towns, there is no human habitation at all.”

Karl hesitated and said.

After finishing speaking, he hesitated again and asked cautiously:

"Um... Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Isn't it a bit too... too... for us to be like this..."

Otto gave him a cold look:

"What's too much?"

Karl opened his mouth and finally swallowed:

"No...nothing..."

Otto withdrew his gaze and once again set his sights on the city. When he saw the lack of progress in the battle and the far insufficient life force shown on the badge, his brows deepened.

After pondering for a moment, he suddenly said:

"Send the young villagers up as well and tell them that if they don't die, their elders will die and their children will become sacrifices."

Karl was stunned.

He hesitated for a moment and stammered:

"But...but Your Majesty, haven't their elders already been sent up?"

Otto did not answer his words anymore, but glanced at him coldly, which made Karl's heart jump.

On the other hand, the high priest accompanying him quickly said to him:

"Lord Viscount, those young villagers don't know that their elders have gone to die, so...if you tell them, they will fight for their lives."

Karl opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say anything. Instead, he nodded in fear and backed away.

After a while, there was another commotion in front of the military formation, and a large number of new civilians were pushed out...

This time around, their average age is much younger.

Unrest loomed among civilians, but was quickly suppressed by soldiers.

Under the pressure of the heavily armed guards, the civilians picked up their swords and rushed towards Augus City again...

The battle begins again.

However, looking at the battle up and down the distant city wall, looking at the badge shining with dark light in his hand, the red maple king Otto's brows became deeper and deeper.

"Strange...the soul power is okay, but why does the life power increase so slowly?"

"Could it be that the only way to sacrifice is the life of an extraordinary person?"

He muttered in confusion.

Just when Otto was confused, suddenly, violent energy fluctuations came from the direction of Augus City...
