Linus heard Vincent’s humiliation and replied, “Gajero was able to become the God of the Elves because he brought greater power. At the same time, he united all the cities and states in Elf World. That was how he won the respect of all the elves! Plus, everyone had also received a personal response from God Gajero himself. That was the reason why he became a god. Gajero is the Dark Elves’ main god!”

After hearing Linus praise Gajero continuously, Vincent could not help but waved his hand in annoyance. He said, “That’s because you failed to notice the 10,000 races that were in the Black Hole. Do you know how many worlds had been destroyed and had collapsed because of Gajero’s invasion? These worlds eventually became wastelands. If such a fellow can be regarded as a god, then the day of extinction of the Elf Race would be near!”

Linus retorted, “The Elf Race has never come across the 10,000 races that were in the Black Hole. They also do not care about the lives of those other races. As long as the great god Gajero doesn’t shake the foundation of the Elf World, he will be considered as the Great God who brings us peace and rules!”

Vincent smiled and nodded. He said, “The problem is that he has already touched your foundation. Could it be that the High Priest or City Lord of Dark Yuan City has never received orders to collect the Origin Divine Earth for Gajero?”

Linus exclaimed while in shock, “The Origin Divine Earth!”

At the same time, he kind of figured out what Vincent was trying to convey.

It had been a long time since the Elf World had produced an Origin Divine Tree. That also meant that the Origin Divine Earth was about to dry up or worse, it had been emptied!

According to the legends of the Elf, when the Origin Divine Earth completely disappeared, the Elf Race would die regardless of how strong they were. The apocalypse would end the lives of the elves together with their world.

Linus was someone who paid great attention to faith. At the same time, he firmly believed in the legends that were spread in the temple. At that moment, he had some trust in Vincent’s story, but he did not react any differently.

After seeing that Linus did not react to his words, Vincent immediately gave up on persuading him. He just asked, “What do you plan to do next?”

Linus let out a soft sigh and said, “Since I have found you. I could gather my scattered subordinates and bring you back to Dark Yuan City to face judgement!”

Vincent shook his head and said, “Stop joking around. With your current injuries, you will be considered lucky to even survive after a battle with me, let alone bring me back to Dark Yuan City! So, let go of the thoughts of capturing us. We are all different. You should just go back to Dark Yuan City with your subordinates after you find them.”

Linus already knew what Vincent would say. He did not refute him. He just nodded and said, “At this moment, I indeed don’t have the ability to capture you but if you don’t kill me, I will have my men spy on you. When I recover from my injuries, I will capture you back to Dark Yuan City even if I have to travel to the Imperial City”

Vincent looked at Linus in surprise and could not help but sigh, “You actually figured out that we are heading to Imperial City. It looks like you are very suited to be a blasphemer!”

Linus did not react. He turned his gaze to the side and avoided looking at Vincent.

That was because half of his body had the demonic aura obtained from believing in Gajero. The other half was the fire energy he obtained after regaining his belief in the Fire Elf King. Therefore, he possessed two types of energy at the same time. It also meant that he possessed two types of beliefs. Faith was considered paramount to the Elf Race and Linus was considered as a double blasphemer. Not only did he blaspheme against Demon King Gajero, but he also blasphemed against the Fire Elf King!

From Linus’s perspective, he no longer cared about the accusations of the public as long as he could do whatever he wanted. He could not tolerate the world anymore.

If he could find out the reason behind Vincent’s trip, he might be able to see the true face of Gajero. At that time, Linus would be able to untangle the knot in his heart. He had been fighting with his father for many years. Once he finds out the truth, he could die with no feeling of regrets regardless of who was right and who was wrong.

However, from the looks of it, Linus vaguely sensed that he might be the one who was wrong.

After a moment of silence, Vincent pointed at Horace, who was not far away. He then said to Linus, “That is the Wood Elf who still believes in the Wood Elf King. He also has a Thunder Elf’s disciple. Do you want to meet him?”

Linus was seriously injured. He was not paying attention to the surrounding area. After hearing what Vincent said, he turned his head to look around.

He soon noticed Horace, Andy, as well as Dave. They were sitting not far from him.

“The son of City Lord Andre! Why are they together?”

Linus suddenly recalled that the Dark Elf in front of him was His Highness Dave who was surrounded and intercepted in the alley. Therefore, he became even more confused about Vincent and his team.

A group of outsiders who had insulted the gods, two elves who still maintained their faith in the Elf Kings, and a Dark Elf who was the son of the City Lord; why were they all together?

Vincent stood up and let out a soft sigh. “Now that you are awake, it is up to you whether you want to leave or have a talk with these elves. However, they might not be willing to talk to you.”

Vincent then walked straight toward Avril and Angelina.

After experiencing a life and death escape, Avril was worried. She asked Vincent, “Now that the safe house has been destroyed and Linus has found out about our whereabouts, what should we do next?”

Vincent contemplated for a moment. He responded softly, “Let’s not consider whether Linus would betray our whereabouts. Since he was able to follow us up until now, his motive could not just be to catch us! There are only two options at the moment. One is to bring you guys to the riverside mansion so that you all can hide there temporarily. The other is to find another safe house. I think it is more appropriate to find another safe house as the 300 soldiers are still gathered at the riverside mansion at the moment. There are too many pairs of eyes over there and it will be very difficult to hide our identities.”

Avril nodded and said, “Let’s ask Horace if there are any other hiding places. If there aren’t, we’ll build one ourselves temporarily. Please remember that Zerg has already broken into the mountain, so the area is always dangerous. At this moment, we have no way to deal with it!”

Vincent smiled and said, “I have a good idea, but it might be too risky to carry out.”

Avril and Angelina held his hands and said gently, “No matter how big the risk, we will bear it with you!”

Vincent nodded and said, “Okay then, let’s discuss our battle plan!”

When Vincent was conversing with the two girls, Linus had managed to stand up. However, he chose not to leave. Instead, he walked toward Horace and Andy, who was still recuperating at the side.

Linus asked in a careful manner, “Gentlemen, may I know the reason why you are here?”

When facing Dark Elves, Horace naturally did not have a good expression. However, after being lectured by Vincent and seeing that Vincent did not put up his guard against this specific Dark Elf, he felt like it would not be appropriate to ignore his question. Therefore, he responded, “As we are not as skillful as them, we had no choice but to be included in their plans!”

After hearing that, Linus turned to look at Dave immediately.

Based on Horace’s words, it was not hard for him to deduce that Vincent and the son of the City Lord were plotting something!

He resisted the immediate urge to confront him about it. Instead, he turned to look at Horace again and asked, “How many elves do you think still believe in the Seven Great Elf Kings?”

Horace immediately raised his head to look at Linus warily. He asked, “What do you want to do? If you ask about the elves again, I will kill you!”

After seeing that the other party was about to stand up and fight with him, Linus hurriedly retreated to the side. He did not dare to provoke this short-tempered elf again.

After sighing helplessly, Linus could only walk to Dave’s side and ask softly, “Your Highness Dave, as the son of City Lord Andre, what are you doing with these foreign races?”

Dave raised his head cautiously to look at Linus and said in a deep voice, “I can answer your question, but after I let you know our plan, for the sake of insurance, I must ask Vincent to kill you!”

“I agree!”

Vincent, who was in the middle of a discussion, suddenly raised his hand in response to Dave’s words.

Even if Vincent had some trust in Linus, he would not completely let his guard down. The plan that he and Dave had plotted was to completely change the current situation of Devil Flame City and cause a storm in the entire Dark Elves World. If any of the Dark Elves found out about it, silencing them would be the best choice!

After hearing Vincent’s agreement, Linus could not help but be startled by Dave’s ruthlessness. He hurriedly shook his head and said, “Then forget it!”

After seeing that both the elves and Dave did not like him, and he also refused to ask Vincent what he planned to do, he could only walk out of the mountain range alone helplessly and dejectedly.

“Wait!”

Vincent suddenly called out to Linus, who was about to leave.

Linus turned to look at Vincent, his eyes filled with vigilance and wariness. He thought that Vincent must have been deceiving him before. It seemed that he would never let him leave!

Vincent stood up and said to Linus, “If you want to leave the Tias Mountain Range, I advise you to wait here! After all, with the injuries on your body, if you meet that Zerg again, I’m afraid you will only be sending yourself to death!”

Linus asked with some confusion, “Anyway, that Zerg will not leave the Tias Mountain Range for the time being. Why should I wait here?”

Vincent smiled slightly and said, “Wait for us to lure that Zerg away!”

Linus looked at Vincent in disbelief and asked in surprise, “What? You want to lure that Zerg away for me?”

Vincent immediately said, “Don’t be shameless! We’re going to distract the Zerg for our own plan. Helping you is just a coincidence!”

Linus could not help but blush when he heard that. He stood in place silently and did not say another word.

Vincent no longer paid attention to Linus. He turned to the others and said, “There’s a very dangerous matter that requires everyone’s cooperation. Those who don’t want to take the risk can stay!”

After hearing that, Avril, Angelina, and Ebenezer instantly stood up and walked behind Vincent. They used their actions to prove that they were firmly supporting Vincent.

At the side, Dave stood up and said resolutely to Vincent, “I’ll go too!”

However, before Vincent could nod in agreement, Horace walked in front of Dave and said in a deep voice, “You stay and help me take care of Andy. Otherwise, with your level 25 strength, you won’t be able to help even if you go!”

Dave looked at Horace with a surprised expression. He was naturally very unconvinced. After all, the two women by Vincent’s side only had the strength of a level 23 creature. Both of them could participate in the operation, so why was he the only one singled out?

Vincent nodded and said, “This arrangement is not bad! Dave, stay here and take care of Andy. When you hear that the commotion outside is over, bring Andy to meet us at the outer perimeter!”

Although Dave was unwilling, he did not go against Vincent’s arrangement. He nodded and said, “Alright!”

Vincent turned his head and said to the others, “Then the rest of you, follow me!”

They then walked straight to the outskirts of the mountain range.

Following that, a five-man team consisting of Vincent, Ebenezer, Avril, Angelina, and Horace started to charge straight toward the direction of the safe house.

On the way, Horace, who was even more nervous, could not help but ask, “What exactly are you planning to do with that Zerg?”

Vincent said as he hurried, “I need you to do whatever it takes to lure the Zerg to the place I have designated. I will set up a trap there to temporarily control this level 60 Zerg!”

Horace was stunned. He wanted to shout that Vincent had gone crazy.

They were facing such a terrifying and destructive Zerg. They could not even protect themselves. How could they lure it to the designated place?

Horace who was a level 39 creature saw that Ebenezer, who was only a level 32 creature, and the two girls, who were only level 23 creatures, were fearlessly following behind Vincent, so he was too embarrassed to say anything more.

After all, including Vincent, Horace had the highest level in the team. He naturally had to preserve the dignity of an expert. He could not be timid in the face of trouble, and he could not appear to be more timid than the others!

After traveling for a period of time, they suddenly heard a series of roars and the sound of trees collapsing not far away. It was obvious that the Zerg was venting its anger after losing its targets.

Vincent immediately motioned for everyone to stop. He swept his gaze across the surroundings and pointed at two boulders not far away. He said, “The two boulders are not far apart. The space in between is just enough for the Zerg to pass through. You guys take over and think of a way to lure the Zerg behind the boulders. I will set up a trap there!”

“Alright!”

Avril was the first to respond. She then turned to look at the crowd and asked in a deep voice, “For safety reasons, we’ll send one person out at a time to lure the Zerg. The rest of you will be at the side preparing to receive it. If there is any danger, immediately expose yourself and get the attention of the Zerg. Who is willing to go first?”

After hearing Avril’s question, Horace thought that he would be the first person with the ability to make a move. So, he was prepared to remain silent for a moment before speaking, to show his importance.

However, at that moment, Ebenezer said first, “I’ll do it!”

Angelina followed and said, “Then I’ll be the second one to make a move!”

Ariel nodded and said, “Then I’ll be the third one to make a move!”

With that, the three of them turned to look at Horace.

Horace was at a loss. He felt ashamed at the same time. He said awkwardly, “Don’t worry. Since I’m the last one, then I’ll definitely lure the Zerg behind that rock!”

Avril and the rest nodded together. It seemed that this was the problem that they were worried about.

The last one who attacked might be safer than the previous three, but the task on him was also heavier. This was because the last one had to lure the Zerg into Vincent’s trap at all costs. Otherwise, everyone’s efforts would be in vain!

Since Horace had already promised them, everyone chose to trust his strength!

Following that, Avril continued to carry out the command and said, “Now, Vincent will stay behind. Everyone, please set off in order!”

“Okay!”

Ebenezer took the lead to rush out. He headed straight for the collapsed forest in the distance.

After Ebenezer ran for a distance, Angelina followed closely behind him. She was soon followed by Avril.

The three of them maintained the same distance from each other. They soon began to move closer to the Zerg. Horace looked at these foreign races, who were obviously lower in level than him, however, they were so fearless. He could not help but feel a little moved.

He had always thought that he was the most outstanding assassin, and naturally, he was also the most fearless existence. However, when he faced Ebenezer and the others, he only felt ashamed.

Horace said to himself firmly, “I am representing the Elf Race to cooperate with them. I cannot lose to these young people!”

He then turned into a ray of green light and followed behind Avril.

When Vincent saw that everyone had set off, he quickly flashed behind two giant rocks.

Vincent nodded in satisfaction after looking at the surrounding terrain that looked like the mouth of a gourd. He did not make any further arrangements. He just hid behind the rocks quietly waiting for the arrival of the Zerg.

In the forest, the Zerg who was venting its anger had already knocked down countless towering trees. Its two sharp claws were like giant axes that would not stop slashing in all directions.

At that moment, a black shadow suddenly rushed over. Two pitch-black blades instantly slid from the tail of the Zerg all the way up to the top of its head, causing sparks and ear-piercing sounds of friction to ring out.

The black shadow soon stopped in front of the Zerg and revealed its figure. It was Ebenezer.

Ebenezer looked at the shell on the Zerg’s body. He did not leave any markings on it. He could not help but sigh helplessly, “As expected of a level 60 creature. The shell on its body is really sturdy!”
