Ankud.

This used to be the town of the elves in the sea of ​​trees.

There are not many permanent residents here, only about three or four thousand elves live here.

This was originally the town farthest from the royal court of the wood elves, because it was only opened up more than three hundred years ago.

Before that, it was just a small village of elves.

The buildings here are not much different from other elf towns, and they are also full of artistic atmosphere.

The small elf town of Ankud is located next to a huge lake, and the houses here are also adjacent to the lake.

The shape of the town looks like a crescent moon from the sky, close to the lake in a corner of the lake.

Today, Ankud has lost its former tranquility. Many subordinate races of the elves gather here, such as deermen, halflings, woodland goblins, and forest trolls.

These subordinate races were originally in some villages close to the royal court. Under the attack of the demons, they were forced to migrate backwards and were finally blocked here.

Most of the original houses in Ankud were demolished, and the building materials were urgently piled up to build a simple wall defense.

Now there are more than 10,000 people gathered here, of which a small half are elves, the rest are affiliated races, and some are professionals who received support orders and came here, including some humans.

The highest commander here is an elf priest of the sanctuary level. In addition to him, there are two elf sanctuaries here, one is a forest hunter and the other is an elf warrior.

Sylvia is also in this town. In the bloody battle of Viaber Fortress, she took the lead and led the guards to stick to the front line.

And when the demons were repelled, Sylvia was like a firefighter, constantly leading the elf warriors who followed her to rescue everywhere in the sea of ​​trees, or fighting with the demons' pursuers.

Not long after Ankud's request for help was sent out, Sylvia received this request for help, and she quickly brought her followers to this lakeside town.

In the center of the town, a towering tree grows here.

This is a tree of life!

A young tree of life, planted here only three hundred years ago. It is because of this tree of life that Ankud was upgraded from a village to a town.

Roland is now under the tree, and his strength has reached the stage of senior silver.

The combat experience in his memory allowed him to quickly master his former body, and then continue to practice to make his body stronger.

In the bloody battle of Viaber, even though he had rich combat experience, he had several near-death experiences, which made him fight more cautiously.

His combat results were good, and he exchanged a lot of resources from the warehouse. With the help of these resources, his realm is constantly rising.

Maybe it won't be long before he can break through to the gold level again. In his memory of his previous life, he broke through in the third year of the abyss invasion.

However, the threshold of breaking through the gold level no longer exists for Roland. What trapped him was only the accumulation of fighting spirit and physical training.

Roland placed his hand on the young tree of life, feeling the rhythm of nature and listening to the breathing of the tree of life.

"Child... I sense your sadness..."

A voice sounded from the bottom of Roland's heart, which startled Roland.

He quickly looked up and quickly locked the source of the voice. It was the tree of life that said it.

"You..." Roland had never thought that he would be able to communicate with the tree of life one day.

Generally speaking, only high-level druids or high-level priests can communicate with the tree of life.

"What are you sad about?" A crisp voice sounded in Roland's heart, asking.

Roland was startled, and he said: "I'm worried that this place can't bear it. In the end, the demons will capture this place, and you will be cut down..."

This is not Roland's nonsense. He recalled the memory of his previous life. In his previous life, he was seriously injured by the demon when he was fighting in the fortress of Viaber, so he couldn't participate in the battle for the next few months.

But he still knew the news of Ankud. This lakeside town was eventually captured by demons. Almost all the elves and many subordinate races who stayed here were killed. Only a small number escaped. In the end, only one in ten of the warriors defending here survived.

And the tree of life in front of him was the first to be cut down by the demons who rushed into the town.

As the tree of life was cut off and collapsed, the elves who stayed here also lost their greatest logistical support, and at the same time, the pillar of morale collapsed, and they were slaughtered one-sidedly by the demons.

The final fate of this tree of life was also very miserable. Its tree heart was dug out by the demons.came out, and was sacrificed to the Gate of the Abyss along with the dead creatures here.

His body was ignited by the Abyss Fire left on the battlefield, and eventually burned out. When the strong men from Viaber Fortress came to support, only the charred tree trunk was left here.

"So... is this my fate..." The crisp voice sounded again in Roland's heart.

Roland was shocked in his heart, and he said in astonishment: "You... you... saw it!?"

"Yes, I saw this memory from the bottom of your heart..." The voice of the Tree of Life did not fluctuate because of this.

"Or you should evacuate quickly..." The Tree of Life was silent for a while, and said again: "Since you can't defend this place, don't waste your life for me..."

"No, no, no!... The memory is false!" Roland said hurriedly.

"Even if the memory is true, we will defend Ankud. We are fully prepared this time, and we will be fine!"

The reason why Ankud has not evacuated at this time is very simple, because this tree of life is in the process of advancement.

The tree of life has been planted here for more than 300 years. Now it is finally going to advance to the fourth level. This is a critical moment for the tree of life.

If the growth state of the tree of life is good, they may be able to advance to the fourth level of the world tree. If the luck is bad or the accumulation is not enough, it can only be advanced to the fourth level of the tree of life.

This tree of life is now in the process of advancement. Unlike other creatures, the advancement of other creatures may be at most two or three days.

It takes at least half a year for the tree of life to advance. During this half year, the tree of life cannot be moved, otherwise it will lose the opportunity to advance.

If it were not for this, the high-level priests here would have taken the druids to cast a spell to uproot the tree of life and migrate away with it.

Originally, the Tree of Life was about to complete its advancement, but unexpectedly, it was eventually chased by the demons and blocked them all in Ankud.
