Chapter 380: Chapter 319: Hello, Mr. Tree (Request for Monthly Ticket)

"Are these Treefolk really that strong?"

Emily followed behind Lette and the Elf Princess, unable to resist asking.

"In the magical books I read as a child, the records of this race were very vague, almost just brushed over. However, the Unicorn Clan was described in great detail."

Lette chuckled softly: "That might be because the people who wrote those books had never seen these Treefolk in action.

From what I know, the strength of the Ancient War Tree-level Treefolk can roughly match the Behemoth of the Beastman Clan.

Even the Tree Elf Guards, who are one level lower, are enough to rival the Mammoth Soldiers of the Beastman Clan.

But at the end of the day, they are the type that is extremely sturdy and strong against attacks."

Rosadina also nodded repeatedly: "Indeed it is so. The defense ability of the Treefolk is very strong.

They possess a magic immunity attribute not inferior to that of the Dragon Clan, and their firm and tough bark can effectively resist physical damage.

At the same time, their rich Life Element and super speed regeneration allow them to quickly recover from damage.

Perhaps in terms of mobility and destructive power, the Treefolk aren’t as good as giant dragons.

But just comparing their resilience and endurance in battles, even high-level giant dragons have to bow to them."

Emily couldn’t help but click her tongue after hearing this: "I didn’t expect the Treefolk to be so strong. However, most of their abilities seem to be supportive and defensive, right?

We are going to attack the Heavenly Chasm River. Can they be useful there?"

Lette wagged his finger: "Whether they are useful or not depends on who uses them and how they are used.

Functions are static, but people are dynamic.

War isn’t just about throwing troops onto the battlefield.

War! It is an art!"

"...In other words, you are going to fool people again, right?"

"Are you always this honest?"

Guided by the Elf Princess, they passed through a dense forest and finally arrived at their destination.

In the center of the forest, five massive ancient trees stood there, looking ancient and dignified.

Even from a distance, Lette and the others could feel a strong surge of Life Energy coming towards them.

Looking at the lush five ancient trees, Lette clicked his tongue in wonder.

"No wonder they’re called Ancient War Trees. Look at their bark; it’s probably harder than ordinary magical alloys.

This frame, it’s no less imposing than the average Behemoth.

And their roots, they seem to snake around like curled rock serpents."

Emily nodded repeatedly in agreement: "They don’t even seem like trees anymore; they appear to have a faint metallic sheen.

It’s terrifying, you’re right. These ancient war trees are definitely more resistant than dragons.

This isn’t just an ancient tree; it’s practically a moving fortress.

The Elf Clan hidden within its canopy essentially becomes a natural barrier.

No wonder you insisted on coming here to find them.

If they become the vanguard of the team, even with fierce enemy fire and numerous mage battalions, stopping their advance would be impossible.

I guess their speed might be slower, but they’d still be unstoppable."

Lette patted Rosadina: "Princess, please awaken them."

Rosadina nodded solemnly in response: "Yes, my lord."

She quickly walked to the front of the largest and oldest Treefolk, took out a pure silver dagger, and gently sliced open her palm.

Blood dripped onto the tree roots, and visibly, a strange energy seeped into the roots with the blood, and then spread into the Treefolk’s trunk.

Crunch! Rumble!

Amidst an earth-shattering shake, a pair of eyes suddenly opened on the trunk of this Ancient War Tree, followed by the appearance of facial features.

Its eyes rolled and finally focused on Rosadina.

"Pure blood of the Elf Imperial Family... Hmm, could it be that you are the current Empress of the Elves?"

Its voice seemed hoarse and rough from disuse, or maybe it was just naturally like this.

"No, great Treefolk Prophet. I’m not the empress of the Elf Clan; my mother is still in power. I am merely a princess."

"A princess? If the Empress is in power, why send only a princess to awaken us?"

The leader of the Treefolk seemed a bit disgruntled, suggesting that Rosadina, this princess, wasn’t qualified to awaken them.

"Prophet, please calm your anger, it’s just that recently, the Elf Empire has encountered so many issues..."

To clear up any misunderstanding, Rosadina hastily explained in brief terms what had happened over the years they were asleep.

Lette and Emily stood silently to the side, taking the opportunity to refresh their knowledge of recent Elven history.

After listening to the Elf Princess’s explanation, the Ancient War Tree was silent for a long time before slowly speaking.

"I never expected that during our slumber, the Elf Clan would suffer such bullying.

As allies in blood, I apologize to the Elf Clan for the Treefolk’s dereliction of duty.

However... from what you say, the Elf Clan has now experienced a second prosperity thanks to the help of that believer of the Holy Light Goddess named Holy Sin.

Then why are you here, seeking to awaken us?"

"Let me explain the rest."

Lette stepped in front of the Elf Princess and bowed to the Great Prophet of the Treefolk: "Hello, I am Saint Wright. Or, you can call me Holy Sin.

May I know how to address you, sir?"

"Guscano."

"Lord Guscano, I am here to negotiate terms."

Lette smiled warmly at the other: "The Elf Clan’s current offensive has encountered quite a significant obstacle.
