At that moment, Druid Poly, Druid Gunter, their family, and the 3 masters all heard a robotic voice emerging from the metal castle in the yard.
“The protection circle being attacked. Going into invisible mode. Levitation begins!”
Afterward, the castle door slam shut. It became invisible and quietly elevated towards the sky.
The 4 knights spent half a minute breaking Abel’s protection circle by draining the 100 mana gems in the energy box.
This gave the battle fort enough time to rise 1000 meters above the ground. Even with the holy freeze aura, those knights could no longer do anything to the elves within it.
Mad Knight Joseph was the first one to penetrate master Bennett’s place. He was confident that elves were hiding within. If not, there wouldn’t be a circle with so much energy.
“Turn off the Holy Freeze. We can’t kill Master Bennett, or at least try our best. We need him to make potions for us!” Mad knight Joseph said to his peers.
That mad knight with the Holy Freeze aura turned to an energy aura. With 2 minutes of charge from those 4 mad knights, all the buildings around master Bennett’s place were wiped flat.
“Knight Joseph, Master Bennett is nowhere to be seen!” A mad knight lowered his voice.
The others shook their heads, and Knight Joseph was furious. He had failed the only mission his lord gave him.
“Turn on the Holy Freeze, Holy Charge. I don’t want anything alive around here!” Knight Joseph roared.
Frost and lightning sparks emerged below those knights as they covered the surrounding with their power of the will. From then on, no one could escape those aura attacks.
However, their effort was for nothing. All the elves were safe 1000 meters above the sky and protected by the battle fort.
Although the battle fort could not face the knights head-on since it still lacked some components, hiding shouldn’t be a problem, especially since those knights were not familiar with something like that.
Druid Poly and the others didn’t even have the guts to take a breath in the battle fort as they saw those 4 furious, loyal mad knights from a screen on the fort.
Druid Poly had seen a loyal mad knight on the front line battlefield. From afar, of course, if not, she wouldn’t be here.
She knew how scary they were. Back then, there was only one loyal mad knight, and he blocked every attack like it was nothing. Even law-defying wizards could only do hit and runs, not face them head-on.
Since 4 loyal mad knights had appeared, all she could do was to wish for master Bennett’s safety.
“Go, it’s almost time to gather. Maybe master Bennett is in Bay Law City. Let’s invade and drag him out. I won’t let him escape!” Mad knight Joseph thought for a moment and lowered his voice.
He was very not happy with how things had turned out. Along the way, they had only killed some small fry, not even a truly elite level elf, like the other master potion makers.
He never expected the city to react this quickly after not fighting for thousands of years.
Of course, how could he have guessed that the tree of life had predicted their attack and told everyone through Abel? Bay Law City had been on high alert for days.
Most of all, how could anyone expect the other 3 masters to look down on them through a circle?
Queen Luisa was looking at the Holy knights gathering on the Bay Law City’s city from 1000 meters away. She was furious. The evil Demons were stepping their foot on the Goddess of the moon’s territory. However, she would not send her troops out. Her elves were not used to fighting Holy knights, and she was sure that they could not face thousands of them head-on.
She could only rely on Bay Law City’s defense and large amounts of war machines.
She turned her gaze to the countless poison creepers on the city war. They were the reflection of the Druid’s spirit. Finally, a war was about to start.
“Did the 3 masters get back to the city?” She suddenly remembered the potion maker union and thought about the 3 master potion makers.
“Majesty, we haven’t got any reply from the masters!” The reporter elf bowed.
Queen Luisa immediately wanted to send elves out to investigate, but looking at the condition outside, sending elves out was suicide.
“My goddess, please protect the 3 masters!” Queen Luisa mumbled.
“Big druids, this is the Light healing potion from Master Bennett. Here are 20 bottles for each of you. Don’t use it on even minor injuries!” She turned from the reporter and said to the 8 big druids.
“Your Majesty, is this potion even useful on big druids?” Big Druid Hale frowned seeing all those bottles.
He just had to say something. Big druids were used to using Master Grade potions. Normal ones almost couldn’t do anything to them.
“Big Druid Hale, don’t underestimate this healing potion. The Wizard Union’s law-defying wizards relied on these potions. You can only get this many since Master Bennett is a part of the elves!” Queen Luisa explained.
Afterward, the 8 big druids quickly put the bottles in their portal bag.
Those things could be their lifesaver in the following battle, according to the Queen. Of course, the druids would need to respect it.
The 10 teams of knights had turned after wiping out everything around Bay law City. They almost have no losses. Everything they ran into was extremely weak. The elves were not used to fighting in the first place, and all the big nobles had retreated into the city as well as all the elite druids.
Mad knight Joseph also returned with the 3 other mad knights. Seeing more than 5000 holy knights, a smile finally returned to his face.
Start setting up the war machines. I want them to be ready in half an hour!” He yelled.
Under his command, the Holy knights began to take out pieces from their portal bags. With 4000 knights standing guard, 1000 Holy knights quickly put the pieces together.
Queen Luisa was hopeless as she saw them setting up those machines. They were 1000 meters away. Nothing in the city could attack from this range.
She had a strong desire to upgrade the defense of her city. After this battle, she would need to purchase many war machines from the dwarfs, especially long-distance ones.
At the end of the day, Bay Law City and the entire New Asia were enjoying their peaceful times for too long. When war arrived, they were helpless.
If it were a human, dwarf, or orc city, they definitely would not let those Holy knights set up their war machines and do nothing.
“All druids send out your immortal ravens!” Queen Luisa didn’t want the elves on the city wall to lose hope.
Immortal ravens were one of the lower-ranked summon of a Druid, but they could use it since it was immortal.
Under the queen’s command, dull black ravens were summoned. There were hundreds of elite druids and tens of thousands of apprentice, beginner, and intermediate druids in Bay Law City.
Since they could all summon immortal arenas, almost hundreds of thousands of immortal ravens were roaring out of the city wall. It was a grand scene.
“Victory! Victory!” Originally those druids were feeling a little down helplessly looking at the Holy knights setting up their war machines, but they had regained their spirit. With hundreds of thousands of ravens, those knights would need to kill for a long time even if they could do so easily.
“Druid Hale, how long until the teleportation circle can be unlocked again?” Seeing the energized warriors on the city wall, she turned and said quietly to big druid Hale.
“Your Majesty, I just talked with the other big druids. It will take less than 2 hours. We are in the goddess’s ground of fortune. The evil demon’s energy can not last for too long!” Big Druid Hale lowered his voice.
2 hours was not a long time, but they were about to face an immensely powerful team of 5000 knights with 4 loyal mad knights as leaders. Not only that, but their power would shoot up once again after those war machines were set up.
At the same time, they knew those elves were not experienced in battle. The warriors were almost useless against the knights, and the druids could only fight for themselves. They had not undergone any official military training.
If they were in the Ervo Forest, the druids might be able to face off against the Holy Knights because they could take advantage of the terrain and use the forest to replenish their life force. At the same time, those knights could not use their aura in a forest, and countless obstacles would block them.
It was too bad the war was about to start. They could no longer pick a battlefield. Big Druid Hale sighed.
“Did the temple reply?’ Queen Luisa asked again.
“Your majesty, I just got a reply from the goddess temple that the Saint and 10 big druids are coming our way!” Big Druid Hale replied.
“Great, we will have a support team in an hour!” Queen Luisa felt her chest lift.
The temple would only recruit female druids. In the elven race, female druids were more powerful than male druids. Therefore every female big druid would be recruited by the temple and kept as a secret force.
Only a small number of female big druids would stay away from the temple due to personal reasons. Most of them saw serving the temple and the goddess as the biggest glory they could get.
Suddenly, Queen Luisa thought of a problem, “Isn’t the saint still underage? How is she being sent out?”
“I don’t know, but even if she is underage, going head to head Loyal Mad Knight shouldn’t be a problem!” Big Druid Hale shook his head.
He did not compare the Saint to the big druids, but a Loyal Mad Knight was to show his confidence in her.
As you know, in the Central Continent, a Loyal Mad knight could take down a law-defying wizard or big druid of the same rank.
“The only thing I worry about now is the tree of life. Is it being attacked? Queen Luisa thought for a moment and said quietly.
“Your Majesty, there are 3 big druids there. Big Druid Lendo is the most powerful, so I don’t think there will be a problem!” Big Druid Hale said confidently.
“Report, a team of 5000 Holy knights is heading towards the northwest side of the city. Their target is unknown!” Suddenly, a flying mount landed, and a druid jumped down to bow.
“What?” Queen Luisa’s face sank. She quickly turned to Big Druid Hale and said, “Quickly send big druids to support the tree of life. We can’t let anything happen to it!”
“Your Majesty. There are only 8 of us, and we can barely hold down those 4 loyal mad knights. If we support the tree of life right down, we might lose the city!” Big Druid Hale lowered his voice.
“No, the tree of life is more important. If the city is destroyed, we can build it again. But if we lose the tree of life, everything will end!” Queen Luisa said, certain.
