Elder Sepphan did not know how these black-robed Inquisitors got into the elf tribe.
The black wood elves themselves belong to the assassins who have the protection of "hidden" inscriptions, and any human's stealth ability is extremely clumsy in front of the black wood elves.
But those inquisitors deceived all the black wood elves by relying on another special camouflage ability, and even one of the "rebellious" black wood elves was the proud disciple of Elder Sephard.
Although Elder Sepphan was full of anger and pain, his duty to guard the World Tree still led him to summon a large number of treants to fight against the judges in black robes.
Even in the end, Elder Sepphan himself turned into a huge giant bear and participated in the battle, using his claws and teeth to tear apart the invaders who dared to invade the land.
But... The power of the Inquisition of Heresy far exceeded the expectations of the elders of Sephard.
For this attack, they did not know how long they had planned, and nearly hundreds of judges in black robes appeared around the forest.
The magic they unleashed was extremely destructive, easily killing the dark wood elf assassin who was extremely hidden in the dark... The tentacles on the ground also prevented the tree people from moving.
This sudden attack left the Black Wood Elves with no time to prepare, and it was beyond their expectations that the clansmen inside suddenly turned into enemies.
Coupled with the fact that the entire area was covered by gray fog, Elder Sepphan could not even confirm the location of his compatriots in the thick gray fog!
Suddenly... The whole ground suddenly began to tremble, and Elder Sepphan raised his head, where he was standing close to the World Tree.
The frantic roar of the brass dragon reverberated throughout the battlefield, and several tentacles that were far thicker than the branches of trees rose from the ground and were firmly wrapped around the branches of the World Tree.
no no!
Elder Sepphan could feel the breath of life in the World Tree passing by. He and several elder elf elders around him asked the treant to destroy the tentacles, but the treant was also entangled by the tentacles and unable to move.
The whole forest was weeping, and life was gradually being swallowed up by the gray fog that permeated all around.
In the end, under the desperate eyes of Elder Sephard, the emerald green leaves of the World Tree gradually turned yellow... and eventually withered and scattered.
At this moment, Elder Sepphan widened his eyes and changed into his original human form. He stretched out his hand and held the withered leaves of the World Tree.
After this leaf fell into the hands of Elder Sephard, it turned into dust and dissipated...
The World Tree lost its vitality at this moment, and despair spread in the heart of Elder Sephard.
The life of the black wood elf race comes from the tree of the world, and its power also comes from the gift of the holy tree. The withering of the world tree represents the extinction of this race.
The meaning of the existence of the black wood elves in this world is to protect the world tree, and the withering of the world tree means that the family has lost the meaning of living.
But Elder Sepphan could still feel the power in his body, and he raised his head.
The leaves growing on the World Tree have indeed changed from withered yellow to gray, and finally turned into dust.
Although the body of the World Tree has died, its foundation has not died.
Elder Sepphan felt a slight tremor on the ground. He was ready to fight, but it was his companion Et who broke through the gray fog and ran in front of him.
Et the brown bear rubbed the palm of Elder Sephard with his nose, and Elder Sephard found that it was covered with a lot of scars.
"Elder Sephard!"
Caroline, who was sitting on Et, called out his name, and Elder Sepphan noticed the amazing vitality of this human girl, although it only flashed by.
But... This is the vitality that belongs to the World Tree!
The seeds of the world tree...
Elder Sepphan remembered an ancient legend he had read in the elf poems, that is, the world tree will not really perish, and when its life is about to come to an end, it will choose to live on an elf and wait for it next germination.
Elder Sepphan has always doubted the authenticity of this legend, because since he was born, the World Tree has grown into a towering ancient tree for tens of thousands of years, which is far older than the history of the Black Wood Elves.
But the fact was in front of his eyes. The world tree of the black wood elves did not die. It... re-inhabited the human girl's body in the form of seeds.
Elder Sepphan wondered why the World Tree chose a human.
But now an undoubted fact has been placed in front of him, and his duty now is to protect the safety of this human daughter!
As long as this human daughter is still alive, then the tree of the world has the possibility to grow back into a towering ancient tree!
Regardless of whether it takes thousands of years or tens of thousands of years to grow, Elder Sepphan is willing to wait... because there is still a glimmer of hope for the Black Wood Elves!
"Et! Get Carroll out of here!"
Elder Sepphan immediately made a decision, losing the support of the World Tree, the entire Blackwood Forest was withering, and those treemen gradually lost their ability to fight.
Although Elder Sepphan was very worried about the lives of his compatriots, in the face of the last hope of the tribe, Elder Sepphan chose to give priority to protecting Carroll from this dangerous land.
Aite let out a low roar, and immediately ran towards the back of the World Tree. Elder Sepphan also followed closely behind Aite to ensure the safety of Carroll.
And Carole, sitting behind Et, holds the "camera" given to it by Joshua.
"For the holy tree!"
Carroll could vaguely hear the surrounding black wood elves shouting the same slogan.
They are fighting to protect their homeland, but those cruel judges stabbed the blade into their body mercilessly, but even so they did not give up their resistance...
Caroline, sitting on the back of the brown bear, recorded all this as much as possible, the figure of the warriors of the Black Wood Elves desperately resisting in order to protect their homeland, and the cruel nature of those heretic judges.
Carroll didn't know how long the people in this world had been blinded by the church, but... At this moment, she saw the true nature of the church's heresy court.
These guys are not "warriors fighting for justice and expelling the darkness of this world" at all, but a group of ruthless executioners.
Perhaps sitting on the bear's back, Caroline couldn't take some clear photos like before, but any scene that happened on this brutal battlefield was enough to make the Inquisition of Heresy a bunch of murderers. ironclad evidence.
