Chapter 303: Retreat
In the end, the anti-demon coalition successfully retreated to the night elves' defense line at the cost of losing almost one-third of their troops.
"Archimonde doesn't follow martial ethics," Arthur and Caliya came to Li Ge at some unknown time and teased with a smile.
Li Ge casually threw out a few magical crystals, which were exactly what Arthur paid him to buy technology a few days ago.
"These crystals of divine power are lent to you by me. Don't even think about hiding behind them." Li Ge dismissed Arthur's idea of laziness.
Arthur didn't take it seriously, and took the crystal of divine power with a smile, integrated it into this incarnation, and immediately restored the power of his heyday.
Since his level of godhood is not high, there is even some power left in these crystals of divine power, which can be used as reserve energy.
Now Arthur also understands that it is unrealistic for him to improve his godhood level in a short time. It is better to have a good relationship with Li Ge.
After all, he and Li Ge can be regarded as friends. They know the basics and can feel at ease when getting along with each other. It would be a fool to leave such an ally alone.
Archimonde's attack this time was particularly wild. He relied purely on his strength to abuse the opponent, and he quickly reached the second line of defense.
The well-prepared night elves are not easy to mess with. Several resurrected wild demigods, the powerful Cenarion Council, the priests of the moon god, and the female sentry troops are all top-notch elites.
"You little bugs, tremble under my power." Archimonde's tall body and arms can kill several night elf soldiers with one movement.
The demon legions that followed swarmed up, and in just a moment, they tore holes in the defense line.
At the same time, the magic of the druids and the magic of the moon priests were like cutting wheat, killing a large number of demons.
Several wilderness demigods entangled Archimonde. Although they were no match, they also prevented the powerful eredar demon from massacring ordinary soldiers.
Li Ge and others stood at the back, watching the fierce fighting indifferently. After seeing more of such scenes, they felt that it was not so shocking.
"Aren't you ready to take action? The night elves can't stop Archimonde with all his firepower." Li Ge glanced at Arthur who was looking at him enthusiastically.
"Haha, I still wish Archimonde would beat up the night elves. This race that relies on the World Tree for immortality is very arrogant."
"If I don't let them lose the power of immortality, how can I, a true god, control the land of Ailas planet?"
Arthur made no secret of his thoughts in front of Li Ge. He wasn't the one who did it anyway, so he might as well wait until the end to clean up the mess and gain a good reputation.
"Furthermore, Elune, the moon god whom the night elves believe in, still cares about his own believers. Why should I care about it?"
As Arthur spoke, his eyes showed a cold light, as if he was quite resentful towards the night elves.
What he didn't tell Li Ge was that Arthur's incarnation once visited Elune's Kingdom of God, but was rejected. The moon god Elune ignored him at all.
For Arthur, who was quite concerned about his face after becoming a true god, this was quite an insult like a slap in the face, and he was completely ignored.
Of course Li Ge didn't know about Arthur's inner story. He didn't value faith as much as Arthur. The night elves were not that important to him and were dispensable.
Finally, after days and nights of tug-of-war, the night elves could no longer bear such casualties.
"Tylande, if you continue to fight like this, even if you save the World Tree, the night elves will be exterminated," Malfurion said with distress as he looked at the dead night elf warriors.
Tyrande's delicate face also showed a trace of fatigue, "Dear Malfurion, the moon god Elune has not given me any new revelations."
As the leaders of the night elves, the two of them felt like they were being cut apart when they saw the warriors who kept falling to the demons.
The fertility rate of the night elves is not high, and every warrior is an elite who has experienced at least a thousand years of training.
If all these elites are lost here, the night elves will be in ruins, and recovery will not be a matter of time.
"Malfurion, go ahead as planned," Tyrande said helplessly after using the Star Falling move to clean up a large number of demons.
"Woo", the signal to retreat sounded, and the anti-magic coalition forces began to cover each other and retreat in the predetermined direction.
"Jie Jie, you sad little bugs, finally know that Lord Archimonde's power is unstoppable."
Archimonde slapped a wilderness demigod who rushed up with his claw, looked at the night elf army that began to retreat, and laughed loudly.
As the night elves retreated, countless demons followed in pursuit, and there was no force around Archimonde that could stop him from moving forward.
The World Tree is in front of us, and Archimonde strides behind the night elves, heading towards his goal.
Now he only has the essence of this world tree in his eyes. When he swallows the power of the world tree, he can control this planet.
When the time comes, Dark Titan Sargeras will definitely give him more powerful power, and then Archimonde's status in the Burning Legion will be one person below ten thousand people.
The cunning Kil'jaeden had to crawl at his feet. The feeling was simply beautiful.
The coalition forces withdrew from the circle of World Tree step by step, and at the same time, the chasing demons paid a bloody price.
The firepower of some druids, archmages, moon priests and rangers focused on Archimonde, causing the evil flames on his body to scatter little by little.
Although Malfurion and Tyrande had made the decision to abandon the World Tree, how could they be willing to let Archimonde succeed so easily.
Especially Tyrande's sharp arrows with the power of the moon god annoyed Archimonde.
Especially in the last section, the demons involved in the attack were running around without Archimonde's command, and the threat was greatly reduced. More and more masters were free to assist in attacking Archimonde.
No matter how strong Archimonde was, he began to be unable to resist. He let out a loud roar, and the evil energy in his body exploded, and his height suddenly increased to nearly a thousand meters.
"Careful, this demon has exploded," Tyrande shouted.
Everyone saw it and became cautious. There were many demons with weird spells. The second-in-command of the Burning Legion was not someone to be trifled with.
After the explosion, Archimonde raised his hands fiercely, and countless evil fireballs the size of wheels fell like raindrops.
The faces of the leaders of the coalition changed greatly, "Mage, defend quickly." In just a moment, there was no timely response from these mages who had almost lost their magic power.
"Devil, your actions will not succeed. Fellow Earth Church members, join me in praying like gods."
Jialiya's clear voice sounded, and with her as the center, an earth-yellow shield of divine power quickly spread.
This guy Arthur is secretly paying for the divine power needed for Caliya's magic.
Guess he was building up his woman's reputation and preparing for his unborn son of God.
