"This is not a trial, but a one-way ticket to hell. Apart from dying, I see no possibility of gaining training and experience." He snapped with great dissatisfaction. , once again commanded Toudo with only more than 200 personal guards left, and continued to retreat under the cover of officers such as Kallen and Suzaku. However, even if all these soldiers can survive, it is an extremely heartbreaking thing for Lelouch. You must know that the total number of personal guards who followed Lelouch this time was two thousand. Counting the soldiers who were lost before entering this maze, Lelouch's personal guards were reduced by 90%. "This is a reserve officer that I have spent five years carefully cultivating. So many unnecessary losses have occurred in such a barren land on the border. If this operation hadn't been about the throne" Lelouch I thought so in my heart. Then he silently comforted himself and said: 'But fortunately after this period of fighting, these lucky guys have undergone a radical change. If nothing else happens, then these guys will be able to achieve much higher achievements than before. . ' But now is not the time to think about this. After all, even if these guards survive this adventure and even become generals or even marshals of the empire in the near future, it will be a long time later. It is not something that needs to be considered now. things. "Your Majesty Elder, now is the time for you great tree people to fulfill the conditions you promised before." After arranging his only remaining reserve officers, Lelouch turned to face the huge tree standing not far from him. The man said. This is a huge tree man that is taller than all the tree men around him. Even with abundant magic and natural elements, it cannot hide its dry and withered skin, showing everyone how long this tree man has gone through. Time has such a long lifespan. "Of course, Your Highness Lelouch, the great tree man's promise will definitely be kept. Are you doubting that the great tree man will do something extremely dishonorable like a dirty goblin? ?¡± An old voice came out of the tree man elder¡¯s mouth. Even though the voice sounded a little old, it still made Lelouch's ears feel a roar. No matter how soft the sound is to the tree people, to a human like Lelouch, it is still like thunder and lightning ringing in the ears. The fragile eardrum cannot adapt. Lelouch shook his head. At the same time, a recovery magic was cast. After eliminating most of the discomfort in his ears, he said: "Originally, your mission should be to eliminate the Fu Hailin that appeared in the ordinary world in the form of a giant tree" Before he could finish speaking, he was suddenly interrupted. The emotional tree elder interrupted. "Don't worry. We will definitely do our best to eliminate this pest that harms the forest and kill the mortal enemy of the forest here!" Although it looks like an old tree bark full of wrinkles, it shows very obvious signs at this time. Anger and disgust. In fact, this is a matter of course. The tree people have been resentful towards Fu Hailin for a long time. Lelouch, a member of the royal family who has read many books and has investigated relevant information beforehand, naturally has this information at his fingertips. Although Fu Hailin is a huge creature composed of a forest, and its core is also a huge ancient tree. Even the mysterious vessels he stores are fruits knotted on the giant tree. Everything is visible to him. It should look like a creature close to the forest. However, the opposite is true. Fuhailin, which exists as a forest and a giant tree, is the culprit of destroying the forest. Although the aggressive Bloodthirsty Forest can protect the forest from invasion by outside forces, it can reduce the deliberate destruction of the forest by various races. It seems that the orcs, who have a huge demand for trees and have extremely outstanding felling abilities, are the most important race among them. Even if it is just a small tribe with only a few hundred orcs, the amount of wood they need to consume is quite staggering. For the orcs, whether it is the construction of various buildings or the need to make fire and cook, a large amount of wood must be used. Three meals a day and various buildings are obviously not enough that some small trees, branches and leaves can satisfy. This is also where the orcs live, usually in deserts and Gobi deserts. It¡¯s not that they like to live there, or that they happen to survive there. But in order to survive, they could only keep cutting down trees, so the place where they lived gradually turned into a Gobi desert and a grassland without trees. For the tree people and the elves who love the forest, the orcs are the eternal enemies, even in the face of the demons invading from hell.Army, when all races from the main plane form a coalition, elves and orcs are mortal enemies who never appear together. However, even if Fu Hailin can help the forest resist the destruction from the mortal enemy, it still cannot stop the tree people from hating the ancestor of the Dead Apostles. It¡¯s not because of anything else, it¡¯s just because of the huge aggression he possesses. Fu Hailin's aggressiveness comes from his vampire instinct, which is what vampires often call the 'vampire impulse'. Even higher-level Death Apostles, they are subject to this every moment they are vampires. The torment of something like a curse. And when there is no external invasion, in order to suppress this blood-sucking impulse, Fu Hailin can only start from the inside, that is, in the forest. Naturally, Fu Hailin, who is dominated by blood-sucking impulses, cannot distinguish between what creatures can be hunted and what creatures need to be left behind to protect the ecological balance. The final result is clearly visible, that is, there are fewer and fewer creatures in the forest, and the ecological chain that maintains the 'life' of the entire forest is getting more and more collapsed, until there are no more living creatures in the forest. It means that this forest has ushered in the final death of life. Therefore, as long as it is a forest where Fu Hailin has appeared, it will all usher in its final end. And for the tree people, who love the forest more than other living things, and even their own lives, they are naturally extremely disgusted with existences like Fu Hailin. "Then I will wait for your good news, Mr. Elder." Lelouch nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile. "Don't worry, Your Highness, although I am not a believer in the contract knights, I will still abide by the most basic promise." The tree man elder said proudly. (To be continued)
