In the Name of the Queen

The era of the elves has ended.

The era of the earth spirits has also ended.

However, the tree spirits of their time were resurrected three epochs later.

Roland vaguely felt that this was related to the approaching day of return.

Knowing the origins of these tree spirits, Roland had a bold idea. Since these tree spirits are also trying to survive, is there a possibility of reconciliation?

Of course, he doesn't want allies, but loyal thugs.

If the negotiation fails, then burn them!

The tree spirits have indeed contributed to the elves, but what does this have to do with him?

If the existence of the tree spirits hinders his interests, he will burn the trees without hesitation.

The blood elves who love nature once burned the world tree in anger.

If the elves can burn it, why can't he?

When Roland woke up, the rising morning light had just sprinkled into the room.

Just as he got up and dressed, Lisa, who was so excited that she didn't sleep all night, rushed in.

"I did it, I did it!"

"Congratulations, sister. What is your advanced ability?"

Lisa raised her head proudly, crossed her hands on her chest, and put them together, her face full of pride.

"I am now the eighth level [temperature control apprentice], and my special ability is advanced flame control."

To prove her words, Lisa opened her arms and slowly closed them, and a ball of flame appeared between her palms.

She skillfully controlled the flame and wrote Roland and her own name with the flame like a show of skill.

As her fingertips danced, the flame and the name merged into one and returned to the palm.

After all, it was the first time to perform precise control, and the high temperature of the flame made Lisa's cheeks slightly hot, and even almost burned her palms.

Fortunately, she didn't make a fool of herself.

Applause rang out, and Roland sincerely offered words of praise.

"Too amazing. Most of the apprentice magicians in the Magic Association can't do it."

"This is just a skill. If we are outdoors, I can show you the power of fire."

Lisa seemed to be dissatisfied with Roland's comparison. She wanted to pull Roland out to show the power of fire.

Roland smiled and asked: "If it is the trees in the whole valley, can they be burned?"

Lisa was slightly stunned and instantly understood what Roland meant.

She felt a little regretful, after all, there are many ingredients in the valley.

It's a pity, but she will not affect Roland's decision.

Since it is going to be burned, then burn it hard.

She nodded solemnly, "Of course it's okay, but it's a pity for this vegetable garden. I still have a lot of vegetables to cook for you."

"There's nothing to regret. Your fire is a weapon to force them to surrender. Only a small number of trees in the valley have wisdom, and those wild vegetables are not their companions."

Lisa understood Roland's implication.

He planned to make these tree monsters compromise.

After all, tree monsters don't have long legs, so it's useless even if they are good at fighting.

Moreover, Roland now knew their details very well, and there would never be the embarrassing scene of being almost killed by the antidote again.

Roland went to Norton's laboratory to replenish a batch of high-intensity explosive bombs, prepared kerosene for igniting trees, and then called a cavalry squadron to set off.

Of course, Count Sif, who wanted to take revenge personally, must not be left behind.

She put on her armor, prepared various potions and poisons, got on her horse, and walked proudly in the front row of the team.

The team arrived at the valley.

Under Roland's arrangement, the cavalry picked up shovels and hoes and began to dig a fire isolation belt outside the valley.

It doesn't have to be used, but the pressure must be full.

After getting ready, Roland took Sif and Lisa into the valley.

As soon as he entered the valley, he unscrewed the oil tank in his hand and poured "tons, tons" of high-intensity kerosene into the most densely wooded area in the valley.

The golden ginkgo, the tallest tree in the valley, was naturally not spared.

Although it looks like a red pine in the daytime.

Smelling the restlessness in the air and watching the flames dancing in Lisa's palm, the Golden Ginkgo Tree Demon knew that the end was coming and simply stopped pretending.

Its angry voice came slowly.

"Despicable human, since you want to kill us, let's die together! Foolish human, you are wrong not to walk into the valley in person, I will never let you go!"

Thorns appeared out of thin air under Roland's feet.

But Roland was prepared, raised his special iron-soled boots and stepped heavily.

With the information provided by the elf Sif, he knew the weaknesses of the Golden Ginkgo Tree Demon better than they themselves.

His boot soles were added with special attack potions prepared for the tree demon.

"Ah!!!"

The withering pain made the Golden Ginkgo Tree Demon feel dizzy.

Despicable human, how could he?

The tree demon shook its branches angrily, and countless branches and leaves fell like raindrops.

Roland and others raised their special iron umbrellas and rotated to block the rain-like branches and leaves.

The golden ginkgo tree demon was stunned.

It recovered too quickly, and the annual rings were recalculated from zero, causing its strength to be far less than its peak. Even if its annual rings exceeded one hundred, it would not be so weak as Roland.

It used to be a giant tree with 30,000 annual rings, but now it only has 75 rings.

As long as it has enough nutrients and a few decades, it can recover to its peak state.

But it has no time.

Today is the day of its end.

"I hate it so much!"

The golden ginkgo tree demon wailed in pain, and blood flowed down the trunk.

"Don't do stupid things!"

Roland knew what this guy wanted to do, and shouted loudly: "You are a comrade of the blood elves, and I am the only surviving inheritor of the blood elves. We should not be enemies!"

The golden ginkgo tree demon was stunned, and its voice was a little weak.

"You, what did you say?"

"Do you know the general of the elves, the one who looks very similar to her!"

At Roland's signal, Sif took off her mask and smiled sweetly.

The golden ginkgo tree demon looked at Sif blankly, and couldn't believe his eyes.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! The general..."

"I got her dream by chance, and she asked me to take care of you. We are friends, and we shouldn't kill each other!"

The golden ginkgo tree demon was silent.

It instinctively didn't want to believe the despicable human in front of it.

But he could say the keywords such as inheritor, blood elf and general, so he must have known about it.

It asked faintly: "How is the general now?"

"She is completely dead and cannot be resurrected for the time being."

Although it knew this was the outcome, the golden ginkgo tree demon couldn't help sobbing after hearing Roland's verdict.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, the general is invincible, how could she die!"

Facing the roar of the tree demon, Roland said calmly: "God's punishment has come, all beings are equal, nothing is impossible."

The tree demon wailed sadly.

After an unknown amount of time, it sighed heavily.

"Human, the day of the final return has come, and all life will come to an end. Your calculations are meaningless and in vain."

"Whether it is in vain is not decided by you, but by me!"

After saying the nice things, it was time to talk business.

"Obey me, or die."
