Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 1151 - 764: Defending the Homeland (2)

However, just as they released the signal, several grotesque winged demons descended from the sky, ripping apart the simple observation tower, laughing grimly as they tore the two men into pieces amidst their screams.

Blood splattered everywhere, and a hint of bloodlust flashed in the crimson eyes of the winged demon as it clung to the teetering observation tower, roaring skyward.

More winged demons flew in from the southwestern sky, passing over the observation tower and heading towards the nearby town of Serle.

On the ground, the flood-like demon army gradually revealed their forms.

Amidst the deafening footsteps, they attacked in the direction of Fengyue Free Territory...

The attack against the Life Church’s affiliate forces had officially begun.

...

"What? The Abyssal demons have already started their attack on Fengyue Free Territory?"

In the temple of Chosen City, Alice’s expression changed slightly upon learning about the upheaval in the town of Serle from the players resurrected from the World Tree.

She turned around and looked at the district map hanging on the wall, her gaze growing heavier.

"What’s the current situation of Serle Town?"

She turned to ask.

"It might... have already fallen. When our last person fell and returned, the demons had already breached the town gates."

The reporting player shook his head.

Speaking, he chuckled bitterly:

"We couldn’t even activate the teleportation array in time; the number of demons... was simply overwhelming."

Listening to the player’s words, Alice fell silent.

Although she had been mentally prepared for a demon invasion since the start of the God-Demon War, she couldn’t help but feel anxious as the demon army truly began advancing towards the domain of the Goddess Crown.

"Lord Alice, I think it’s time to pray to the Goddess for help. I’ve seen it; the invading demons almost cover the sky, the sheer number, it’s absolutely beyond what we can resist, especially since the strongest players and Lord Mairrel are all in the Silent Annihilation Wilderness."

The reporting player couldn’t help but say.

After hearing his words, Alice fell silent.

After a moment, she sighed:

"I understand."

After reporting the information, the players withdrew and left.

Leaving Alice alone, staring solemnly at the map.

Pray for help from the Goddess Crown?

She very much wanted to do so.

However, as the Holy Daughter of the Goddess, others were unclear, but she knew that the Goddess Crown had been asleep for over three months now.

The Goddess Crown was not in the Segis World at all but had gone to another plane, ascending to powerful divine power.

Until the Goddess Crown awakens, they can only rely on their own strength.

With a faint sigh, Alice summoned the Chosen One Priest who followed her:

"Lord Bilodis, please notify Lord Aurora in the Silent Annihilation Wilderness, the demons have initiated the attack on Fengyue Free Territory."

Giving the Chosen One the order to relay the message, Alice walked out of the temple.

The demons began invading the Goddess’s faith territory, it’s time for the Elf Chosen Ones to act.

However, thinking about the increasingly unruly Chosen Ones since the Goddess Crown fell asleep, Alice felt a bit uneasy.

As the earliest NPC of the "Elf Kingdom," Alice knew the Chosen Ones all too well.

Though the Chosen Ones summoned by the Goddess were brave and fearless, they were also quite practical and opportunistic.

Before the Goddess Crown fell asleep, she had given the Chosen Ones two tasks: one to go to the Silent Annihilation Wilderness in the Abyss World to participate in the God-Demon War, and the other to guard their homeland in the Segis World.

Alice was well aware of the tasks’ details, including their rewards.

The problem, however, lay specifically in the rewards.

Alice knew well that for most Chosen Ones, the greatest motivation the tasks provided was the improvement of power.

But the rotational battles in the Silent Annihilation Wilderness had already pushed most Chosen Ones to their limit of advancement.

If there was anything left that could still attract them, it might be the advancement and job transfer slots.

However, neither of the two large tasks issued by the Goddess Crown included advancement and job transfer slot rewards.

Moreover, from speaking with the Chosen Ones, Alice knew that they greatly anticipated the Divine Artifact Repair Points Scroll and special reward pool lottery tickets, and the drop rate was rather impressive...

In this situation, the original task rewards had significantly diminished. Can they still effectively motivate the Chosen Ones to participate in battle?

Alice knew that most Chosen Ones preferred to fight easy battles, and facing difficult situations made them quite despondent.

This was a pattern she summarized from the repeated divine statue summoning tasks of the Chosen Ones.

The Silent Annihilation Wilderness was still fine, as several myth followers of the Goddess Crown were there, so the Chosen Ones faced less pressure and fought vigorously.

But now, facing the comprehensive demon invasion of the Segis World, being overwhelmed in all aspects, an impending war that could end in a desperate struggle, Chosen Ones... would they still have the motivation and courage?

Moreover, the elites and commanders of several major guilds had gone to the Silent Annihilation Wilderness, some even to the plane where the Goddess Crown was.

In this situation, with the increasing power disparity among the Chosen Ones, can they still unite into a single force?

At that moment, Alice felt anxious.

But regardless, the war must go on.

She decided to personally rally the Chosen Ones, assemble an army and head towards Fengyue Free Territory.

However, as Alice walked out of the temple and reached the plaza in Chosen City, she paused slightly.
