Chapter 225: Night Attack In late November, it has been a week since Minel sneaked back to the elven village, during this time, the number of converts is gradually increasing, and the male elves are bringing fewer and fewer wild fruits, in this case, after the moon elves have been exploited, the elves have only been able to maintain a state of not starving to death, and when the priests of the moon temple who were sent to this village did not stop it when they saw this happening, they secretly instructed the moon elf guards to increase the intensity of the exploitation.
The Moon Elf Patrol originally secretly became unscrupulous after getting the permission of the Sacrifice Lord, they not only wantonly plundered the fruits picked by the forest elves, but also beat and insulted any existence in the village that they did not like, these days there have been several incidents of fleeing because they could not bear this humiliating life, for the fugitives, the sacrifice of the Moon Temple did not send people to arrest, because they are now very difficult to walk in the jungle, But the female priestess did not punish the Moon Elf guards in any way.
Because of the rough practices of the Moon Elves, there have been more converts these days.
Strictly speaking, the forest elves have no faith now, and the only thing that supports them now is their longing for the world tree, but the deceased who have left this world will eventually fade into oblivion over time, so the moon elves have no doubt that they will become the masters of this forest in the near future.
Unbeknownst to them, however, there were shadows lurking in the darkness watching them with hatred.
On the last day of November, that is, the night when the moon disappeared, the moon elf patrol on night duty was a little bored wandering around the village after the shift change, and the moon elves didn't believe that anyone would attack them, because before the death of the world tree, most of the elves with combat power already had the dual belief of the world tree and the moon god, although their belief in the moon god at that time could be said to be very unreliant, but with the death of the world tree, almost all the elven warriors have been transformed into moon elves, And at this time, all that was left were some old and weak ordinary elves who could not use the Dou Qi magic.
This kind of elf turned out to be one of the few in the elf family, if it weren't for the fact that the elf clan was relatively indifferent and there was no discrimination against the same race, then these ordinary elves would have been squeezed out of the elf forest as waste.
And now guarding these wastes to prevent them from escaping, for the Moon Elves who have already entered different camps, naturally they don't need to pay too much attention.
The Moon Elf Guards walked on the newly opened road on the outskirts of the village with bows and arrows on their backs as usual, and the Moon Elf Paladin, who was walking in the forefront, carried a long sword in his hand, and from time to time used his fighting spirit to clean up the newly grown branches and vines on both sides of the road, and the patrol team of more than a dozen people was a little listless, because there was no moon in the sky today, which was as unsuitable for the Moon Elves who already believed in the Moon God as a child who suddenly left his parents.
A faint bowstring pull came from a few hundred meters away, if it was before, the elves would have been able to hear these sounds full of murderous intent, but now, under the cover of the sound of the various insects and leaves of the forest shaking, the moon elves had no idea that the god of death had placed his scythe on their shoulders.
"Hey, why is it suddenly quiet?"
The paladin sent by the Moon Temple at the head suddenly noticed that the insects around him seemed to stop, and then just as he looked around suspiciously, an arrow wrapped around the emerald green vines appeared in front of him out of thin air, and then hit him in the abdomen without dodging.
"Enemy attack!"
The paladin's armor burst out with holy power at the moment of attack, blocking the blow that should have been fatal, and the paladin, who was knocked away by the huge force of the bow and arrow, shouted in midair.
And the sound of the attacker's bowstring trembling in the forest reached the ears of the elven paladin at this time.
"Where is the enemy!?"
The Moon Elf Rangers quickly removed their bows and arrows from their backs, but when they pulled their bows and arrows, they could no longer find the enemy's position in the dark forest.
Whoosh several bows and arrows were shot from the dense forest towards the Moon Elves who were still looking for enemies, although these bows and arrows were not as fierce and strange as the first one just now, but the distance was much closer, making these arrows as sudden as the previous one.
Half of the Moon Elf Patrol, who did not occupy any position in the dark forest, was immediately hit by the incoming bow and arrow and fell to the ground screaming, while the other half of the Moon Elf Patrol immediately fell to his knees and sang a hymn in praise of the moon while drawing his bow.
"In the divine moonlight, there is nothing to hide!"
As the Moon Elves chanted, their eyes began to glow with a silvery white light, and with the help of the divine arts, the vision of the night became clear, and following the direction of the arrows just now, the Moon Elves could see several black shadows in the forest pulling their bows and arrows to aim this way.
"In the mysterious moonlight, the attack turned into nothingness!"
The Moon Elf Paladin, who had just been knocked out, had already jumped up from the ground and rushed over again, and as he chanted, the shield in his hand was covered with a silver-white light, and the Elven Paladin came to the few remaining archers, half-kneeling in front of them.
There was another trembling sound of the bowstring, and an arrow wrapped around the vine shot at the head of the elven paladin, but for some reason, when the bow and arrow flew in front of the elven paladin, it suddenly flew diagonally towards the elven paladin's shield, and when it sounded, the second attack of the archer did not achieve any results, and the attacks of several other elven archers that followed were all deflected and blocked by the elven paladin's attack.
The Moon Elf Rangers immediately rejoiced when they saw the reliability of their own paladins, and they began to chant the Detection Divine Technique, constantly aiming at the black shadows in the forest to launch a counterattack against these sneak attackers, although the Moon Elves lost the protection of the forest, but their archery skills were still there, and the archers on both sides relied on the power of nature, and the other side relied on their original exquisite skills to fight equally, and shot at each other for a few rounds but no one caused any casualties.
"Minel!
This can't go on, they've already sent out a plea for help, and if we don't hurry, the operation will fail!
The elf, who was already in the jungle, shouted to Minel, who had just shot two arrows and had not fired again.
"I know, wait another minute and it will be almost."
Minel didn't do anything, and after answering the elf's words, he leaned against the tree and closed his eyes.
A minute, soon passed, the elves on both sides exchanged ten rounds of attacks again, just now the moon elf patrol has sent a distress signal, it only takes a few minutes for more than forty moon elf guards stationed in the village and the sacrifice of the moon temple to arrive, then these few heretics who dare to resist the moon temple will be nailed to the tree by bows and arrows.
Just when the elven guards were full of confidence in defeating the enemy, they didn't notice that the breathing of the moon elf paladin, who was half-kneeling in front of them and maintaining a defensive posture, was getting weaker and weaker, if it was daytime, then the elves would still see the bloodless pale face of this paladin, each of the elf paladins was an absolute elite, if it weren't for the steely will that had been tempered for many years, this moon elf would probably never be able to stand up the moment he was hit by the arrow just now, His abdomen was now stuck with the arrow entwined with green vines, and his entire abdominal armor was covered with emerald green moss, which was getting more and more luxuriant, and in the dark environment, the Moon Elf patrol behind him did not notice at all, and the shield protecting their life had begun to rust and decay from the inside.
"One minute and thirty seconds, although you are an enemy, I have to praise the tenacity of your vitality, but now that the flame of your life is about to be extinguished, let me use my full strength to attack to end your life."
The corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and the paladin, who was hundreds of meters away, seemed to struggle to stand up with some sense, his body was constantly trembling, the shield that was once as light as a feather was now as heavy as a thousand catties, and the elven paladin slowly raised his shield in the direction full of murderous intent.
"In the omnipresent moonlight, life shines!"
The Elven Paladin chanted the Moon God loudly in his last voice, and then his body burned with silver flames, and he was struck through his shield and chest by an arrow that was faster and sharper than before.
The elven paladin of Vedon fell to his knees, and the defenceless Moon Elf Patrol was shot by the elves in an instant.
At the same time, outside the elven village not far away, the moon elves who rushed to the rescue had also turned into warm corpses.
The body of the priestess of the Moon Temple was nailed to a tree in the center of the elven village square, and the old elven elder was holding an emerald green leaf that glowed softly and shouted at the forest elves who had been woken up in the middle of the night and were still a little confused.
"We've found the new World Tree!
New Faith!
Now let's set out together and follow our queen on her journey to find our heart of nature!
With the words of the elven elder, the leaves of the world tree shone brightly, and then a path full of young grass and flowers appeared in front of the elves, and the elves involuntarily stepped on the road that did not know where it led, and after feeling the familiar natural breath, whether they were old or young, the elves showed a smile as if they were returning to their mother's arms.
At the same time that the elves of the elven village set foot on the road, the same thing was happening in dozens of villages where the elves were being held.
The escape of the forest elves has officially begun.
