Xiao Chen and his group finally returned to the entrance of the cave. There were only five people left out of the six they had when they left. Elena's body was buried under the taproot of the World Tree as she had requested.
They crossed the hole and came to the camp. What was waiting for them was not a welcoming crowd, but fully armed elves. Swordsmen, mages, priests and archers were all available. General Nord folded his arms and looked at them with a complicated expression.
"General, we did it. But Elena... She sacrificed herself. She gave up her life to save the World Tree and everyone else." Maya said with a sad face as she walked forward. But Di Ning stopped her and glanced at the elf warriors. Although they did not raise their weapons, they would join the battle as long as General Nord gave the order. He asked, "General, what's going on?"
"It's Elena..." General Nord's eyes showed sadness, but he immediately hid this emotion and said in a deep voice, "However, the World Tree has a serious problem. All the fruits that were to grow elves have fallen. The twenty elves that were to be born next year have all died! All of you must hand over your weapons and follow me. Accept the investigation."
"Hand over our weapons? Are you treating us as prisoners?" Di Ning said, clenching his wand.
"You can think whatever you want, but put down your weapons now and follow me to the guards camp."
"General Nord! Is this how you treat your heroes? We fought desperately and paid such a huge price to drive away the enemy and save the World Tree. Everything was done according to the instructions of the elders! You, you actually want to lock us up?" Di Ning shouted angrily.
"Don't get excited, this is just an investigation. Do you want to go against the opinions of the elders?" General Nord asked back.
"I want to see the elder! Otherwise I won't go with you." Di Ning said sternly.
Maya also said: "General Nord, if you do this, what will Elena, who calls you uncle, think? If she knew that you are treating us like this, she would probably not be at peace even after her death!"
"The elders won't have time to see you. It's very chaotic outside right now. To be honest, if you follow me, it will protect you and will be good for you." General Nord was still trying to persuade them, but his hand slowly reached for his sword. Since these people in front of him would not cooperate, he was ready to use force.
However, there was one person among the crowd who was faster than him, and that was Xiao Chen. He had already prepared to cast a spell before he crossed the door, and when he saw that the other party might use force, he immediately took action.
Xiao Chen used his distraction to release three kinds of magic at the same time: mental blast, heart of fear and mental arrow.
Mental Explosion is also one of Gomez's inheritances. It is a magic that can shock enemies in a large area and put them into a short-term stagnation state. Moreover, enemies hit by this magic will have their mental resistance greatly reduced during the spell's effectiveness. Therefore, the power of the Heart of Fear magic that follows is doubled.
Half of General Nord's high-level warriors died in the cave. Although there were many elves present, they were mostly low- and medium-level, with few high-level elves. These people had almost no resistance in front of Xiao Chen's powerful spiritual power. After being baptized by two magics, they lost their combat effectiveness without doing anything. Some fell to the ground and trembled, and some ran around in fear.
The remaining four high-level warriors were no longer affected by Xiao Chen's magic in a short period of time, and their battle rhythm was disrupted.
The other people who had already prepared for the battle also launched the attack at the same time. According to their pre-planned plan, if someone was unfavorable to them, as long as Xiao Chen took action, they would go all out to besiege the strongest person present. Now this person was naturally General Nord.
The first two magics General Nord experienced also caused him to be dazed for a moment. Although with his master-level strength, this daze may only last half a second, but in such a high-level battle, half a second is enough for a lot of things to happen. Xiao Chen's spiritual arrow had already attacked him in this half second. Nord had no time to dodge in a hurry, so he could only stimulate his natural fighting spirit and withstand the damage.
However, Xiao Chen's magic was not easy to deal with. Even though a lot of his strength was consumed by his fighting spirit, the arrow of spirit still shot into Nord's soul.
Only those with strong will and high morale can resist any spiritual magic. But at this moment, how much morale do General Nord and his soldiers have when they are ordered to capture the hero? Xiao Chen's invisible arrow exploded in Nord's head, making him dizzy.
Di Ning's chain of lightning struck General Nord in the chest, and the chaotic current hit several masters behind him again. These people had just recovered from Xiao Chen's magic, and before they had time to use their fighting spirit, they were knocked unconscious by the current again.
A chain popped out from Maya's right wrist and trapped General Nord's upper body. Energy was transferred to Nord through the chain, and elements of various attributes, such as electricity, ice, fire, acid, etc., swarmed into his body. This was the true power of Maya's most proud magic item, the chain of elements.
Evelyn's two heavy arrows came whistling with the sound of wind and thunder, and exploded on Nord's shoulders, one on the left and one on the right, completely crippling his two arms and making him lose his combat effectiveness.
Then Roger, who had just recovered from his serious injury, quickly stepped forward and put the Thunderscar Sword on Nord's neck. The Thunderscar Sword in his hand had actually evolved after this battle. The combination of the God-Erosion Potion and the God's Blood produced a strange reaction, which greatly improved its quality. Although the God-Erosion Potion is no longer on this sword, it has a constant energy erosion effect on the gods and their followers. Any energy related to divine power will gradually dissipate in front of it. Races like elves will be greatly suppressed in the face of this sword, and if they are in contact for too long, even their blood will degenerate.
When Nord had the sword placed on his neck, he felt a tingling sensation spreading from his neck to the surrounding area, and the power derived from his blood was gradually dissipating.
Roger dragged General Nord back to his team. Maya took out a small square prop and pressed it on his back for a while. A sealing magic circle appeared behind Nord. His fighting spirit was suppressed by this seal. And this seal has another effect on the elves, preventing them from touching the tree heart net.
Xiao Chen, Di Ning and Evelyn mercilessly knocked the four high-level warriors and other warriors to the ground one by one. Maya sealed everyone in turn. This seal was very different from the confinement ring used by Chen Hansheng. If there was no magician or alchemist with a higher realm than Maya to open it, these people could not open it by themselves.
"General Nord, I'm sorry, we can't follow your instructions. We have to take the initiative." Xiao Chen walked up to the general who looked depressed, "Let's get out of here first, and then we can have a good chat."
