Chapter 486 - Was A Surprise
"Strange woman? Is she an outsider? I met a monster in a black robe. He was the one who pushed me!"
Gilbo could not help but sigh in confusion after he heard what Monde and Charlie had said.
Monde and Charlie did not respond to him but they looked behind Gilbo in fear.
When Gilbo noticed their reactions, he quickly turned around and saw the outsider being circled by a fire dragon. He was walking toward him.
Gilbo asked nervously, "Who are you and what do you want?"
"My name is Vincent. I"m the one who invited you here. As for what I"m doing, you have to wait for the other guest before I can tell you! In the meantime, you can ask those three in the corner. If they can"t explain anything to you, I"ll let you know through my own method!"
Gilbo and the others looked in the direction that Vincent pointed. At the corner of the s.p.a.ce tunnel, they found three Dark Elves squatting down. Two of them had normal skin color while the other Dark Elf"s body was charred black. They looked extremely pitiful.
Gilbo was shocked. He walked closer and asked, "Mcgee and Benjamin! You guys are actually here too, what on earth happened?"
As his entire body was charred black, Robin could not be recognized immediately. He approached him and said, "Why are your reactions so slow? Do you even need to ask why we are here? Of course, we are preparing to send troops to Serene Spring City just like you guys but our movements have been detected by others so they planned an attack on us. We were forced to be here. Our soldiers are now without a leader and they can annihilate all of us in a minute. This is called strategy!"
At that moment, Monde and Charlie were walking behind Gilbo. They nodded and said, "That"s right, the two of us were marching on the road. All of a sudden, we fell into the trap of that foreign race. That is the reason why we are here. We should think of a way to escape. We can"t stay here forever!"
After hearing that, Robin nodded with a look of schadenfreude. He did not say anything.
Mcgee and Benjamin said nervously, "Get out of here? What do you plan to do? I advise you not to do anything rash otherwise the three of us might end up like them!"
Monde and Charlie looked at the bloodstains on Benjamin and Mcgee"s faces. They then looked at Robin"s burnt head. They sort of knew what had happened to them. They could not help but ask curiously, "It seems that you have tried fighting the outsider. I wonder if the three of you worked together or went up one by one?"
Benjamin heard his question and quickly responded, "We went up to him one by one but even if we worked together, we are still not his match! I advise you to accept the reality so you would suffer less. As long as we wait for the last individual, we will know what he is going to do!"
Monde and Charlie looked at each other when they heard that. They then squatted beside Gilbo and whispered, "There were only three of you just now, but there are six of us now. As long as we work together, we might be able to defeat him!"
Robin echoed from the side, "That"s right! But I"m injured and can"t fight anymore. Why don"t the five of you work together and try?"
Gilbo thought about it seriously. There was not much difference between five and six individuals, so he could give it a try. So, he looked at Mcgee and Benjamin with antic.i.p.ation.
After seeing this, Mcgee quickly covered the wound on his face and pretended to be dizzy. At the same time, he waved his hand, indicating that he was also heavily injured and could not fight anymore.
Only Benjamin was the most honest and did not pretend to be seriously injured. Instead, he said with a serious face, "I advise you not to think too hard! Not to mention the six of us working together, do you think that the twelve apostles who died did not come up with the idea of working together in the first place? But in the end, they still died and disappeared!"
After hearing that, Gilbo suddenly came to a realization and turned to look at Vincent again. He muttered and sighed, "You mean to say that he is the foreigner who killed the twelve apostles!"
Benjamin smiled coldly and nodded. He said helplessly, "Can"t you see that he can crush a level 40 creature easily. At the same time, he has a group of special subordinates working for him. Would there be another person like him in Elf World? And I have to remind you that the three of us were captured from the vicinity of Serene Spring City. You, on the other hand, were captured near Devil Flame City. He was able to gather men near the two cities with a snap of his fingers. This kind of power is something that even the demons might not have, let alone us!"
After hearing this, Gilbo and the other two immediately sat down on the ground, their faces filled with fear as they s.h.i.+vered. If they had not heard Benjamin"s a.n.a.lysis and dissuasion, they would have challenged Vincent with full confidence at that moment.
The result was needless to say. They were lucky to end up with injuries like Benjamin"s!
"Then what should we do now? Should we just wait here?" asked Gilbo again.
His tone was less arrogant and confident than before. Instead, he sounded more worried and apprehensive.
Benjamin closed his eyes and leaned against the s.p.a.ce barrier as if he was resting. He mumbled, "What else can we do? Didn"t he just say that there"s only one guest left? When the last guest arrives, we"ll know his purpose!"
Gilbo and the others who had just entered the s.p.a.ce could not help but feel a little terrified. They could not be as calm and at ease as Benjamin and Robin. They could only gather together and mutter nervously.
"There is only one left. Who could it be?"
"Who else could it be? Look at us. We are all from cities around Devil Flame City and Serene Spring City."
"So it"s only the City Lord of Devil Sea City that hasn"t arrived yet. However, that city"s situation is quite special. Will someone even come?"
"Don"t worry! As long as there"s an opportunity to serve the demons, someone will definitely come!"
"The situation is really hard to say!"
Gilbo and the others huddled together and whispered to each other. As they talked, their tone could not help but become more confident. It was as if they had seen hope again.
Vincent, who was staring at the illusory screen, naturally heard the conversation between Gilbo and the others. He immediately thought of the last individual who had not arrived yet. There must be something special about him.
Vincent sighed in his heart silently, "I wonder who will deal with the last individual. I hope everything goes smoothly and that my team is safe!"
…
At the same time, in the dense forest to the west of Devil Flame City, Dave was hiding on a thick tree branch. He watched the army slowly approaching from afar. There were only a few hundred of them. The leader was a very young Dark Elf who looked even younger than Dave.
If it was not for the eye-catching flag held high in front of the enemy"s formation, Dave would even think that he had waited for the wrong individual!
"So it"s Devil Sea City. I remember that the old City Lord of Devil Sea City is already at the end of his life. He doesn"t have the energy to care about the affairs of the outside world. All the administrative affairs in the city are managed by his sons. It seems that the young man should be the youngest son of the old City Lord. It"s really too easy to deal with this kind of young man who is still wet behind the ears!"
After Dave recognized the background of the young man, he could not help but sigh with a face full of joy. He even thought that he was sure to win.
When the team from Devil Sea City arrived under the tree, Dave raised his hand silently and pointed. He opened a s.p.a.ce door in front of the young man.
As long as the young man took another step forward, he would be able to enter the s.p.a.ce tunnel on his own.
However, at that moment, the young man suddenly stopped and looked up at the tree. He snorted and said, "Whoever dares to be impudent here, get down immediately!"
Just as he finished speaking, the youth raised his hand and pointed upward. A spell array was instantly formed. Following that, a black pillar of light instantly gushed out from the center of the spell array and shot toward the tree trunk that was covered in leaves.
"Boom!"
Following a violent explosion, the entire tree crown shattered with a loud bang. Dave, who had nowhere to hide, could only take the initiative to jump out and land on the empty s.p.a.ce in front of the youth.
The youth glanced at Dave indifferently and said with a cold smile, "Black Elves are really rare! I, Alger, will make you, a Black Elf, disappear forever!"
Upon seeing this, Dave raised his hand to hold the hilt of the knife by his waist and said with a frown, "A child must remember to be humble when speaking. Otherwise, when I beat you until you"re covered in teeth, you"ll lose your dignity!"
Alger smiled disapprovingly and pulled out his broadsword from his back. He sneered and said, "Good! I have never been defeated by anyone since I was young. Today, let"s see if you have the ability to do so!"
Dave was completely enraged by the arrogant young man in front of him. He no longer cared about Vincent"s plan. He only wanted to teach the little brother in front of him a lesson for not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth. He launched his strongest attack.
"Army obliteration!"
Dave held his blade with both hands and drew a half-moon-shaped arc in front of him. The sharp blade aura instantly condensed into a large blade that was more than ten meters long. He then slashed it toward Alger"s waist.
This was a unique move that Dave had comprehended from Vincent"s Art of Heaven"s Will method. Its power was extremely shocking. Even a level 40 creature would not be able to block the attack!
However, at that moment, Alger was holding his sword with both hands. He used all his strength to slash at the incoming blade, directly shattering the blade aura that Dave had just gathered.
Dave exclaimed in disbelief, "That is impossible!"
How could a Dark Elf, who was younger than him, possess such terrifying strength?
Alger smiled disdainfully and pointed his sword at Dave. He then shouted, "Take him down! Everyone will be heavily rewarded! If anyone can kill him, I"ll make that individual the City Defense Officer! If anyone can capture him alive, I"ll make him a general!"
The hundreds of soldiers behind Alger suddenly let out a thunderous roar and rushed toward Dave, "Yes!"
...
In the s.p.a.ce tunnel, Vincent, who was worried, finally walked up to Gilbo and the others. He frowned and asked, "Is there a problem with the Devil Sea City that you mentioned just now?"
Gilbo and the others scratched their heads and did not know how to answer for a moment.
Suddenly, Robin took the initiative to step forward and said, "I know! The City Lord of Devil Sea City, Hayward, is old and frail. He does not have any great achievements in his life, but he was rather lecherous. He gave birth to seventeen sons and countless daughters! However, his youngest son, Alger, is a rare genius of the Elf Race. He had reached level 41 at a young age. Other than the twelve apostles, he was the only elf who had broken through to level 40.. At the same time, he was also the first candidate for the new generation of apostles! Alger will not let go of this opportunity to make a contribution. He will definitely launch an attack on Devil Flame City!"
