Abe the Wizard

By that time, giant war machines such as stone-throwers and ladders started to rise from the Holy Knights in front of the city wall one by one.

If the big druids left, the warriors’ confidence would drop immediately, but the queen insisted. Big Druid Hale looked at the others.

“Your Majesty, big Druid Larder and I will go support the tree of life!” Big Druid Hale bowed.

It was the most dangerous mission. There wasn’t a protection circle around the tree life. There was only a valley. Only druids could face the mad knights head-on.

Big Druid Larder and Hale were the most powerful druids there, which was why he made that decision.

“Thank you, Big Druid Hale. We can’t lose the tree of life!” the queen said in a drained voice.

“The knights can step on my corpse, but they will never lay a hand on the tree of life!” A murderous look emerged on the pale old face of Druid Hale.

“Big Druid Hale, just hold down the knights as long as you can. I’ll tell the temple to send their support directly to the tree of life with the soul speakers!” The queen lowered her voice.

Her words were clear. The tree of life was far more important than the city and far greater than her life. Everything revolved around the tree of life.

As the queen of a kingdom, she knew a lot of things others didn’t. Those things were kept secret so that the common world could turn their attention from the tree of life.

Although many powerful forces had their eyes on the tree of life because the water of life is produced, the elves tightly regulated its exports, so that was where their interest ends.

They could exchange better things with the elves anyway, so it was not worth breaking their trust with the elves for some water of life.

The tree of life was far more important to the elves than some water.

Although Big Druid Hale didn’t really understand why the queen said that the tree of life was more important than the city, he would know if he was a female big Druid.

Big Druid Hale and Big Druid Larder jumped on a Pegasus and flew out from the city wall. It was the only mode of transport they could use.

The Evil Kingdom did not bring any Flying mounts with them on this mission, especially since many flying mounts were in the territory.

Therefore as long as the Big Druids kept their distance above the sky, they wouldn’t be attacked. If not, they would have no chance against those 5000 knights on the ground.

….

In the Tree of Life valley’s entrance, Abel listened to Big Druid Lendo’s order and stood back near the valley’s center. The power he had shown made Big Druid Lendo a little worried if he stood too close to the entrance.

The Loyal Mad knights had powerful Mass attack auras. If Abel was struck by one of them, he might die on the spot.

Therefore, Abel ignited his soul speaker ability to connect with the tree of life while keeping an eye on the condition outside.

He sensed a team of 5000 Holy Knights charging towards them. They were flashing with a Holy aura. All the trees in front of them could not stand a chance.

As the Knights forcefully blast their way through the forest, Abel could hear the trees crying.

The trees were helpless. All they could do was send their emotion to Abel and express their sorrow.

There were 6 holy knights within those 5000 holy knights that caught his attention. He could sense that most of the power was concentrated on them, and their energy was more powerful than any Holy knights he had ever seen.

They were the legendary Loyal Mad knights! Abel could almost identify them immediately.

“Big Druid Lendo, I have something to tell you!” Abel was not looking good. His Master Bennett identity brought a lot of profit, and the elves had been treating him very well, so he didn’t want anything bad to happen to them.

However, there were 6 loyal mad knights with a team of 5000 holy knights charging towards them. It was not something 3 big druids and a rank 20 wizard could hold back.

Of course, he was not afraid of his own safety. If he wanted to leave, no one could stop him. All he needed to do was to summon Flying Flame.

“Master Bennett, what did you see?” Big Druid Lendo was not far from Abel, so he quickly stepped back.

He had already summoned his Grey bear, so he could no longer summon his mad wolf. It was the pain of being a druid. The limit of natural force greatly affected their abilities.

“Big Druid Lendo, the forest is telling me that 6 Loyal Mad knights and 5000 evil knights are charging towards us!” Abel lowered his voice.

Big Druid Lendo’s face sank. His eyes were sparkling in uncertainty, but soon it settled.

“Master Bennett, get out of here now. Go hide in the depth of the forest. You are a soul speaker. The evil knights can not find you easily. I will stay by the tree of life’s side until I die!” Big Druid Lendo said in a serious tone.

Master Bennett was the elves’ most powerful potion maker as well as the asset of the elves. He could not be lost in a battle.

Druids were not afraid to die. They were the master of natural force. If they died, they would just return to nature, return to the goddess.

However, after Big Druid Lendo said his words, Abel sensed the tree of life, wanting him to stay. It was the only being it could communicate with, so it was normal that it wanted Abel to stay by its side when danger arrived.

Abel understood. As long as he didn’t get too close to the knights, he would be able to leave without a problem.

“Big Druid Lendo, I’ll contribute to the fight as well!” he thought for a moment and lowered his voice.

“Master Bennett, I’m not looking down on you, but you can’t get involved in a fight between big druids and Loyal mad knights!” Big Druid Lendo rejected.

“Big Druid Lendo, I’m not talking about myself!” Abel said and padded his chest.

Afterward, a black hole appeared, and a 10 meters tall body jumped out with a 20 meters long rod on its shoulder. Big Druid Lendo felt immense pressure just by looking at it.

“A Beamon giant!” Big Druid Lendo gasped.

Everyone who saw a behemoth would be shocked. They were too rare, and each of them was tightly controlled by the orcs. Letting them out was almost impossible.

“Master Bennett, how powerful is this behemoth?” Big Druid Lendo couldn’t help but ask after seeing how much bigger Dolf was compared to other Beamon giants.

“I don’t know but maybe a little more powerful than normal ones!” Abel shrugged his shoulders.

Dolf was enchanted by hell’s mana burn as well as teleportation. It had that 20 meters pedestal as a weapon, but it had never fought in a real fight.

“Ok, just a little stronger than a normal Beamon giant should be able to hold back one loyal mad knight!” Big Druid Lendo paused. Still, even with Dolf and 3 Big Druids each holding back a Loyal Mad Knight, there were 2 loyal mad knights free to attack.

“They are here!” Abel reminded.

Suddenly, a large patch of trees tumbled down above the valley, and an organized team of Holy Knights appeared.

“Damn you, Evil knights, for destroying our trees!” A Big Druid roared, seeing so many trees being damaged.

The team of Holy Knight stopped at the valley entrance. They were not expecting the terrains to be like this. The 5000 Holy knights they brought along were almost useless.

The valley entrance was too small. Only 4 knights could enter at once. And only 2 grey bears could block the passage.

Even the most prestigious royal judge, Angelo Harmon, did not know the details of the tree of life. He only knew its rough location.

“3 of you, come with me and kill those 2 grey bears!” Mad knight Mead lowered his voice and said to 3 other mad knights next to him.

Although only 4 of them could enter at once, it was clear that the elves only had 3 big druids on guard. Just the 4 of them could take them down.

The 4 mad knights lined up outside the entrance and charged forward. They ignited the Holy Freeze aura and Flame aura for an attack. As for defense, they ignited the helping aura. Just like that, auras appeared below their feet.

It was a final battle for them. They were about to face big druids in a tightly confined space, and the result was clear.

The big druids were pressured. Their faces looked tense. Unlike the knights, it had been a long time since they last fought.

War was a survival necessity for the knights, but it was against the elves’ nature. Everyone in the Central Continent knew the elves didn’t like to fight.

“Destruction from heaven and earth!” Big Druid Lendo yelled as he pointed at the Valley entrance.

He had been preparing for this top-level spell since the start. It was a very complicated spell to make, and he definitely would not have enough time to cast it during the battle.

The 4 knights paused for a moment. Although they had the helping aura as defense, they didn’t want to go head-on with a top-level spell and 2 grey bears.

It was at that moment. A giant body appeared in front of them. It was so big it almost couldn’t fit in the valley entrance.

It was Dolf. It charged towards the knights and heavily struck down with its giant rod. Since the knights were tightly lined up to enter the valley, it gave Dolf a good opportunity to strike. The 12 meters rod struck down, and the whole process took less than half a second.

Each of those 4 knights was extremely experienced. Although they didn’t know why something with a move in a flash ability could appear in this place, they still instinctively blocked it with their shield.

Dong!” Dolf’s rod struck upon their shield, but Dolf was pushed away by the rebound force.

The Holy Freeze aura below those knights began to shoot out, and Dolf quickly vanished from mid-air, perfectly dodging the aura attack.

Those 4 knights, on the other hand, were knocked back by a few steps. Mad knight Mead was the strongest, and he sensed blood rushing through him. The other 3 knights, on the other hand, were not as lucky. Blood began to drip down from the corner of their mouth.

They were not badly injured, but they could only make it because the 4 of them had distributed the force. If that strike was focused on one Holy Knight, he might be in critical condition.

However, things did not stop there. Dolf’s strike knocked the knights perfectly into the targeted area of the ‘destruction from heaven and earth’ spell. Giant Fireballs rained down like meteoroids towards the knights.

“Go back!” Mad knight Mead yelled. He made a quick decision. He could no longer use his brute force. 3 grey bears blocked the path in front, and 3 of his teammates were lightly injured. If he kept going, his teammates’ injuries would get worse.

Also, he couldn’t afford to take another strike from that giant that just hit them. Therefore, he decided to get out of the valley.

After blocking a few fireballs with their shields, they charged out.

The Druids did not go after them. Their mission was to drag out time as much as possible before the support arrived.
