Soon, Kelleus gradually saw the new enemy clearly in his sharp sight. . . The tall figure covered the ceiling of this underground maze. Even from a long distance, Kelleus and others felt a deep pressure. And what puts pressure on people is far more than just their height, or the huge advantage in size, but their identity revealed in their appearance. Although these reinforcements all look like humans, or to be more precise, they use their lower limbs to move their bodies like giants. But unlike most humanoid creatures, these creatures do not use feet, but a varying number of roots. Yes, you read that right, they are roots, like those of trees or other plants. They are right in front of Kelleus and others, like the tentacles of an octopus, constantly moving their huge bodies forward. , and the speed is very fast. "It's a tree man!" Cheryl, who had walked out of the Elf Forest less than two years ago, immediately recognized these huge and strange creatures. Although there are not many creatures like tree people in the main material plane, even many ordinary humans have never seen these ancient creatures who usually do not like to be active. They usually regard them as creatures in myths and legends, rather than Really existing species. "I don't know whether I should say I'm lucky or unlucky to be able to see such a rare race in a place like this" Kelleus also recognized these trees covered with branches, and while walking around like humans, said the tall tree man who scattered leaves all over the ground. The tone is full of complex meanings, I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s bitterness. Or other emotions. As for why these behemoths who usually live in the forests of the Elf Kingdom in the south suddenly appeared in the border forests of the Human Empire in the north at this time, there is naturally only one reason. "It seems that these tree men are used to deal with our Lord Fu Hailin." After just a moment of thought, Kelleus made a quick judgment. After all, as Fu Hailin, who also uses trees as his main body, although he can find ways to deal with various types of creatures, he has no way to deal with the tree people who have attributes that are almost the same as his own. Even though he likes to appear in the big forest, he has never appeared in the forest of the Elf Kingdom, because there are trees everywhere that make him feel troublesome. As for the reason why he dislikes tree people so much, it's naturally not because they look like him 'Use the tree people's natural ability to manipulate forest trees and their terrifying devouring trees to enhance their own strength and even restore their own damage. physical abilities. To deal with Fu Hailin, which is based on forests. What a genius! ¡¯ Kelleus admired the person who thought of this method in his heart. However, Cornelia and the others were not focused on the same thing as Kelleus, although their eyes at this moment were also staring at Kallen like them. It¡¯s just that Kelleus was looking at the tree people behind Kallen. But what Cornelia and others saw was Kallen and others themselves. After a while of silence. Cornelia suddenly said word by word: "Karen. Why are you here? You are Lelouch's personal bodyguards. Why did you appear here without authorization!" There was a tone of deep disbelief in the shock. Expressed in her trembling voice, one could instantly feel the complex emotions in her heart. Even now, the facts have been clearly laid out in front of her, but she still doesn't want to believe this sad fact because of family ties. The last question revealed that she wanted Kallen and others to appear here entirely because of their personal behavior. But the truth is always more cruel than we imagine. "Of course it is because of our master's order that we follow you here, Princess Cornelia!" Kallen responded with a sneer. Although she is a noble princess, Kallen¡¯s own status is not low. At least her status as the sole heir of the Duke of Cudafield¡¯s family makes her not afraid of Cornelia. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? And now, in this life-and-death situation, it can be said that the skin has been completely torn apart, even if the gap between the two sides is like a chasm, it is no longer important at this time. At least if you kill the other party, then everything will not matter. History is always written by the victors. Hearing this, Cornelia did not continue to pester, but just smiled with a depressed expression. "Your Highness" Elizabeth, who was following her, called out, and then fell into silence again because she didn't know how to comfort her lord. "It's okay, my knight." Ke ?Leah said with a forced smile. Although she was smiling, the bitterness in her eyes was extremely obvious. "Haven't we already guessed that everything that has happened since we entered this forest was planned behind the scenes by my brother who is both loved and hated" At this point, Cornelia said Suddenly the smile became a little strange, as if it was the happy smile that one of his own children exudes when they grow up. "Yes, my Lord." Elizabeth responded softly. ¡°It¡¯s just that psychologically speaking, there is a huge difference between the things you guess and the results you determine yourself. ¡¯ Although she thought so, Elizabeth didn¡¯t know how to comfort her master. As a knight, she could only hold the spear in her hand tightly and wait for the order that her master was about to issue. Cornelia adjusted her mood, suddenly raised her head, and shouted with her unique serious and sharp voice: "In that case, there is no need to say more, let us speak with the weapons in our hands!" "Like you! As you wish, my lady!" The person who responded to her was not Karen standing in front of them, but a male voice coming from another direction. This familiar voice caused Cornelia, who had just regained her composure, to change her expression once again. "It's really you, Lelouch! Why are you doing this?!" Cornelia could no longer hold back the anger and surprise in her heart, and asked the visitor loudly. "Of course it's me, dear Sister Cornelia" Three figures suddenly appeared where the distant voice came from, it was Lelouch and others who came from not far away. The black-haired boy in a black trench coat was using a slightly exaggerated movement to perform the ancient imperial royal etiquette extremely smoothly with perfect movements that no court etiquette instructor could fault. "Why can't I do this? Does it mean that everything here should be yours? What an arrogant attitude, my sister" (To be continued.)
