“Brother Zhang Song, what happened? Those guys from Deherim killed so many of our brothers and Wood Elf followers, are we just going to let this go?”
As Zhang Song passed through the portal and returned to the rooftop of the apartment building on the outskirts of Deherim, he was immediately questioned.
The one who questioned him was the Blue Star Human from before.
“That’s right, Brother Zhang Song, we should have killed those Human Mages to leave a deep impression on Deherim. After all, according to Zhang Bo, those Human Mages were very precious followers of that guy named Shen Mu. If we killed them, it would definitely be a big blow to Shen Mu.”
The others also nodded one after another, looking at Zhang Song with dissatisfied and puzzled eyes.
They were all waiting for Zhang Song to give them an explanation.
Because they all knew Zhang Song, this person was very strategic.
There must have been a reason for Zhang Song not allowing them to kill those Human Mages in the library at that time.
At this moment, Zhang Song looked at them and said with increasing weariness, “Of course I have a reason. Those Human Mages are indeed very precious, and Deherim has indeed caused too much loss to our Green Leaf Group. I know all of this, and these are all facts. But precisely because of this, we cannot continue to think about the current situation with our previous mindset.”
As Zhang Song spoke, he also reached out and pinched his brows and temples. He felt his head swelling a bit now.
It was as if a pain surging from the depths of his soul was about to burst his head.
But at this moment, he could only force himself to maintain his composure, looking at these Blue Star Humans and the few Wood Elf followers in front of him, and slowly said, “Things are not like before. Our Green Leaf Group, our Wood Elf Village, are now in imminent danger.”
“Brother Zhang Song, isn’t all of this caused by those damned guys from Deherim?”
But regarding Zhang Song’s words, this Blue Star Human still spoke with a tone of dissatisfaction, subtly carrying a hint of accusation, suppressing his anger and saying, “So we should take revenge, we should kill those Human Mages, we should use the deaths of those Human Mages to mourn our fallen brothers.”
The others also nodded one after another. Although they didn’t speak, their expressions showed that they agreed with the Blue Star Human’s statement.
Because within the Green Leaf Group system formed in the Wood Elf Village, they were all brothers, all friends, all close colleagues.
Many of them had known each other before the end of the world descended.
And in the three years of apocalyptic life, they supported each other, helped each other, and cultivated good feelings. They were not biological brothers, but they were closer than biological brothers.
How could it be that now that their brothers were dead, they couldn’t even avenge them?
This made these people really unable to understand.
Not only could they not understand, but they also couldn’t figure it out, and they even felt quite dissatisfied in their hearts.
“Alright, everyone, don’t say anything more. Just as I told you just now, we are no longer the Green Leaf Group we once were. As soon as we come back from behind the portal, we need to recognize our current identity and status in the shortest possible time.”
Zhang Song spoke slowly, but his tone also carried some sorrow.
This was the price of rationality.
They could clearly know that the Green Leaf Group was finished and the Wood Elf Village was about to be destroyed, so they had to consider the future.
But the people in front of them seemed to know nothing, they didn’t think or were unwilling to think about it, and were still dwelling on the glory of the former Green Leaf Group, the strength of the Wood Elf Village, and their dominance in Bali River Street.
Moreover, even in the past, the Diesel Company held absolute dominance and control, and their Green Leaf Group was just a small force cornered in one area.
Why would they think they could rise after the Diesel Company was wiped out?
This was impossible.
So Zhang Song was still feeling heartbroken over the stupidity of these people, and even more sorrowful for the uncertain fate they were about to face.
Zhang Song was truly sad.
He felt even more sorrowful.
So he slowly said, “Deherim will definitely know that we initiated this war, so after he overcomes this crisis, he will definitely target our Green Leaf Group. At that time, his troops will definitely attack our Wood Elf Village.”
“Yes, that’s definitely the case.” At this time, those Blue Star Humans also nodded one after another. This didn’t need Zhang Song to remind them, everyone knew it.
“But what about then? Do you know what we should do then? If we completely fall out, perhaps we really won’t have any possibility of communication with Deherim.”
Zhang Song showed a bitter smile at this time and also revealed some of his plans, or rather, some small plans for the future: “It is us who suffered a crushing defeat, Deherim did not suffer any fundamental damage, there were no major casualties, so for that guy Shen Mu, it was just a bit annoying because of our sudden attack. But after investigation, he found that he hadn’t suffered too many losses, it was just a loss of face, the fundamental interests were not impacted, nor were the fundamental interests lost. This is an important key point that allows us to negotiate with him, or perhaps even preserve this group of us.”
“…” At this moment, the people in front of him suddenly didn’t know what to say, because Zhang Song’s words were as direct as digging out a heart and drying it in the sun.
This was simply too honest.
Not only did he admit their defeat, but he also admitted the impending demise of the Green Leaf Group.
This made it difficult for them, who already knew the outcome and the truth of the matter, to accept. After all, the Green Leaf Group and the Wood Elf Village were places where they had left behind good memories.
How could they now watch this force decline like this?
“Brother Zhang Song, the matter is not over yet, we can still resist, isn’t it a bit too early for you to say these things?” Some of these Blue Star Humans also slowly spoke, looking at Zhang Song with some dissatisfaction.
Everyone was dissatisfied.
“What’s early or not early? What’s the use of saying these things now?”
But at this moment, in a room behind the portal, a hoarse voice slowly appeared, speaking with a tired, lonely, and desolate tone: “Zhang Song is very right.”
Then a figure walked in from the adjacent room and came before Zhang Song and these Blue Star Humans.
“Yang Zong.”
Zhang Song and these Blue Star Humans were slightly stunned, then they all straightened up and bowed their heads to the newcomer to express their respect.
Because the person who came was Yang Di.
He no longer had the high spirits from before, only a sense of dejection.
Even his voice was weak: “Zhang Song’s actions at the time were indeed correct. If we had formed a deeper grudge with Deherim, it would not have been good. After all, anyone could know that if we killed some spellcasters with extraordinary abilities, it would be an endless feud.”
Yang Di also understood this very clearly.
Those 20 Human Mages were very precious followers that Shen Mu had collected. Normally, they had never seen their figures in the Town Area, and even the news was kept secret, no one knew about these 20 Human Mages.
If it wasn’t for Zhang Bo entering the Castle District, perhaps even Zhang Bo wouldn’t have known about the existence of these Human Mages.
This is enough to show how much Shen Mu valued these Human Mages.
If they really killed these Mages, Shen Mu would definitely be enraged, and at that time he would definitely gather his troops and completely flatten their Green Leaf Group and Wood Elf Village.
Just like he did with the Diesel Company.
Completely eliminate any possibility for his Green Leaf Group and his Wood Elf Village to rise again.
Now Yang Di also had to consider the future, which is why he said that Zhang Song was right, that Zhang Song’s actions were right, and that Zhang Song’s consideration for the future was right.
“Yang Zong.” But these Blue Star Humans still wanted to say something to express the anger and dissatisfaction in their hearts, but seeing that even Yang Di was saying this now, with such a dejected expression, they all just felt uncomfortable in their hearts, but couldn’t say anything.
The facts were already set.
Even if they said something more, what was the use?
“Alright, let’s not continue talking about these boring topics. Let’s all go back to the Wood Elf Village now, the Green Leaf Group there still needs to be planned properly.” Yang Di nodded at all of them with a bitter smile on his face, said nothing, turned around and walked down the apartment building.
Everyone also didn’t say much, just pursed their lips and looked at the portal that had disappeared directly due to the loss of magic power supply next to them, and silently followed Yang Di’s footsteps.
Everyone planned to leave.
Soon they all evacuated this apartment area. Even though darkness covered the earth at night, gray fog also permeated, and many Undead Monsters descended within it.
But they were still rapidly evacuating this area, planning to return to the Green Leaf Group.
However, during the evacuation, they also discovered a strange thing.
That is, even though they were now evacuating in the dark, in the area permeated by gray fog, although there were many Undead Monsters, they were all relatively weak forest monsters, just some ordinary Skeleton Soldiers or Skeleton remnants.
Those once relatively powerful Undead Monsters, and even Skeleton, had basically disappeared.
Even if there were some scattered Undead Monsters.
They posed no threat to them at all.
“It should be Ludwig, the Commander Vanguard of the Black Arrow Tower Seventh Dynasty, who took away all the Skeleton.”
Zhang Song and the others could guess why this was the case.
Because the places where the death spirit rules descended were also divided into areas with high and low concentrations. In places with higher concentrations, stronger and more numerous Undead Monsters would definitely descend.
And since more and stronger Undead Monsters had descended, the concentration of death spirit rules in other places would be weaker and less, so the Undead Monsters would be more inferior.
Therefore, they all understood.
Those Undead Monsters were still attacking Deherim frantically.
This is why the Undead Monsters they encountered during their evacuation were quite ordinary. However, this was also good, as it made it easier for them to evacuate, otherwise, if they were entangled by those Undead Monsters in the dark, even if they still had nearly 1000 Wood Elf troops, it would be troublesome.
After all, the rules of the Spiritual Realm gathered by all of them now were too concentrated, making it easy for them to be targeted by the death spirit rules, and then more Undead Monsters would descend around them to intercept them.
At that time, even if they could break through the siege, they would pay a certain price.
After all, they were now a group of defeated stragglers.
The real combat effectiveness had to be lowered by several levels.
If they really encountered a large-scale ambush by Undead Monsters, they would definitely suffer heavy losses again, and their already heavily depleted forces would be wasted in vain again.
This was something no one wanted to see.
Therefore, escaping back as quickly as possible while they could was the most rational choice. After all, most of the Undead Legions under the death spirit rules had gone to attack Deherim, which also gave them a good opportunity to retreat.
“I really hope those Undead Legions can be more reliable. After all, the Skeleton Legion of the Black Arrow Tower Seventh Dynasty are a group of archers, and they are quite intimidating in terms of combat effectiveness.”
At this time, Zhang Song was also saying some comforting words to Yang Di next to him: “If the Skeleton Legion of the Black Arrow Tower Seventh Dynasty and Deherim fight to the death, both sides suffering heavy losses, perhaps it can give us some breathing room. If the Wood Elf Plane can still support us, we should be able to recover.”
“The Wood Elf Plane can’t support us anymore.” But at this time, Yang Di’s statement shattered Zhang Song’s hopes.
He gave a bitter smile.
His tone was also quite weary: “Did you think I didn’t contact the Wood Elf Plane when the battle was at its most intense? They didn’t contact us at all. It can be said that they have tacitly chosen to abandon us.”
“But Brother Yang Di.” Zhang Song frowned and thought for a moment, then said, “Isn’t that magical plant in Deherim with a fragment of Natural Consciousness a very important goal that those Wood Elves want to obtain?”
“I don’t know.”
At this time, Yang Di really didn’t want to say anything more, he just sighed and said, “In fact, how much say do we Blue Star Humans have in front of those Wood Elves from the Spiritual Realm?”
Yang Di pursed his lips: “Perhaps they don’t even think highly of us.” (End of Chapter)
