As the viscount had issue an evacuation by my orders, the small city was deserted and only a number of individuals occupied the city.
"Haa... haa..."
Ralias panted from exhaustion.
"You're done already?"
"Yes... master... ugh"
He fell down as he no longer had the energy to stand up.
"Poor you. So much for having power despite reincarnating"
"Senior, please drag my body somewhere cool"
"Sure!"
The demi-god of destiny happily dragged Ralias away.
Maybe because it was due to being ordered around that a sense of inferiority complex sprouted within him that it makes him happy just dragging someone away.
"Your grace"
"Yes, Finn?"
"My role is to snipe the elves who will come close, right?"
"Yes. And?"
"Can I eat the elves I kill? I've never tasted elven meat before!"
With Finn's natural happy personality which led him to ask such a question openly, it sent shivers to Loraine who was quietly drinking tea beside me as she is a half elf.
"Of course. Just don't do that in front of anyone. I don't think the others would be delighted to see you eating someone"
"Thank you, your grace!"
As he left, I turned around to the direction where Bluemoon's army was marching.
".....!"
A giant tree sproutred from the land. So big that it could be seen even when it is several kilometers away.
Similar to the Elterwin, numerous types of flowers sprouted from the tree.
"Your grace, may I ask what that thing is?"
Lorained asked as she squinted her eyes to see if she really is seeing a giant tree.
"That is a replica of the world tree. As you know, the world tree is the main reason why the elves are loved by mana and is also the reason why they have such long lifespan"
"Yes. It is a tree that the God of Life bestowed to his children so that they would be able to fight for themselves since history books says that elves were weak back then in the Age of Blood"
"Right. Well, that tree over there came from a fruit of the world tree and was fed with royal blood. That will act as a generator so that the elves will replenish mana and stamina faster"
The very reason why no one dares to invade their kingdom is because of that fucking tree. It is quite irriating to see but I already knew I would get to see it in action since I planned to make the elves bow down to my feet.
Swoosh.
The thousands of arrows from a ballista enforced with mana were shot.
After seeing the battle between Lagnos and the Land of Damnation, the God of Life knew that overpowering them with numbers would be stupid.
Hence he decided with the simple tactic of attacking from a distance. And this time, they will be attacking non-stop so that the one who is capable of redirecting attacks is exhausted and have some elite elven knights attack from a shorted distance.
Repeating the process until they reached the heart of Lagnos.
A good plan after reviewing the war that just happened but I am sure that he did not thought of me, who already knew what Bluemoon is capable of.
"Oh, mother of the sea, hear my call"
[The Goddess of Water is listening to one of her children's plea]
And the half-human half-siren who will be responsible for attacking them from a distance will be the one to protect this teritorry. I can't have this city getting detroyed now, can I.
"Please allow me to borrow the power of the Queen of Water spirits, Lady Undine in the name of protecting what my master wishes to protect"
[The Goddess of Water allows the request and will send down one of her children]
The queen of water spirits emerged and rose in front of Javier.
"By my mother's wish, I will do as you say"
"I am glad to hear that, lady Undine. Do not worry, we will not be killing anyone. Our role is to simply not let any of those attacks..." Javier pointed at the arrows that were about to his the city, " The surroundings of this city"
"Hmm"
Undine looked around and noticed two familiar things that made her smile.
"Alright. I will do as you wish. Meditate to preserve and accumulate mana. This will be a long one"
"Understood, lady Undine"
Javier sat down and focused on replenishing his mana to act as the fuel for Undine's power.
"Begone, flies"
Boom. Boom. Boom.
With a wave of her hand, a stream of water appeared around the small city that negated the attacks, leaving only the walls of the city to get hit.
However, the walls were left unscathed as if nothing happened.
Seeing this, the God of Life advised the king to empower the arrows even more as he too could not comprehend how such walls were not taking any damage.
Another batch were fired.
Undine continued to protect the land outside the city as the arrows did not cause any damage to the walls or the buildings within the city.
"How come nothing is getting destroyed, your grace? Shouldn't there be damages since the elves are getting powerful due to the replica of the world tree?"
"That is right but it is because of Ralias"
"Sir Ralias?"
"Yes. And since it is his own work, you should ask him yourself. He might get mad at me if I were to disclose information regarding his research"
