Chapter 699: Demon Blood Sacrifice (2)

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Cindia nodded hastily. Ji Chen realized that the experiences of the past half year had truly terrified the child.

Seeing this, Ji Chen wasted no more time. He instructed Patheia to carry Cindia aboard the Sea Crystal Wyrm, taking to the sky to commence a wide-scale patrol.

This area, no less vast than the Maple Principality’s Mystic Realm, once housed over a hundred thousand Wood Elves. Now, it lay barren, devoid of life, with ruins and scorched earth everywhere.

From the remnants, it appeared that the Wood Elves didn’t immediately lose their resistance upon the demons’ invasion. Instead, they organized a resistance that stretched from the outskirts of the realm deep within. The scattered traces indicated intense battles, yet they were eventually overwhelmed by the relentless demons, becoming sacrifices.

Not far from the valley they left, Ji Chen’s group stumbled upon another blood ritual altar and a mountain of Wood Elf corpses. Surrounding it were still eerie and bloody runes.

As they ventured deeper, they discovered more blood ritual altars, arranged seemingly according to a pattern.

Though Lainekel couldn’t see the grave expression on Ji Chen’s face, he could sense the gravity of the situation from his tone.

“This is undoubtedly the work of the Undead Lord, utilizing countless sub­altars to form a massive blood ritual array, summoning evil creatures capable of city-level destruction with a large number of high-quality creatures as sacrifices.”

“How powerful are they?”

“At least legendary tier. With sufficient preparation, they could even summon pseudo-epic beings.”

Ji Chen’s eyelids twitched. This was too cunning. Legendary beings were already rare in the main world, let alone epic-tier ones. Even pseudo-epic beings like Lainekel could effortlessly destroy a small city.

Damn it, none of these Lords were to be underestimated; they all had their own tricks.

As they reached the deepest part of the realm, they were greeted by a blood ritual array spanning over ten thousand square meters, surrounded by several corpse mountains. The sheer number seemed to suggest lingering souls in unrest.

In the center of the array, there were traces of a massive creature moving. Judging from the size of the traces, the creature summoned at the cost of over a hundred thousand Wood Elves was at least on par with Lainekel.

Witnessing this horrifying scene, Cindia’s face turned pale, trembling with fear.

The elven officers and soldiers were filled with shock and rage. They already harbored extrhatred towards the demons, even though the Wood Elves had split from the mainline elves long ago, they still belonged to the elven race, a part of their identity.

But the demons, by brutally slaughtering their kin and treating them as mere livestock for sacrifice, had undoubtedly provoked and declared war on them.

“These damned monsters dare to do such things!” The elven officer glared at the corpse mountain, his eyes filled with anger. “Lord Ji Chen, we must return immediately and inform Her Majesty of everything that has happened here. We cannot let these people die in vain!”

Ji Chen nodded. “Of course.”

The tragic plight of the Wood Elves might push the Elven Empire’s preparations for war forward, making the elves fully realize the enormous threat posed by the demons.

After continuing the search for stand finding no other survivors, Ji Chen and his group left the realm with Cindia and returned to the Silvermoon Holy City overnight.

When news of the Wood Elves reached back, the entire Silvermoon Holy City was instantly stirred.

In the council chamber.

Seated on the throne, the Elven Queen Laphia had an unprecedentedly gloomy expression, resembling a volcano on the verge of eruption. The entire hall was filled with suppression and anger.

“The Wood Elves have been wiped out by the Demon Clan?”

“According to our investigation, that’s the case. We only found one young Wood Elf survivor.”

The elven officer who had gone to the realm with them spoke with a tone full of sorrow and indignation. “The other Wood Elves were killed by demons as sacrifices. The bodies piled up into hundreds of corpse mountains, serving as nodes for the blood ritual array. The corpses are rotting and stinking, with blood everywhere… The entire realm has beca dead land, villages burnt down, vegetation withered, water sources dried up, and the land turned into a desolate wasteland…”

Many elven nobles and lords imagined the scene described by the officer, their faces showing expressions of sympathy, shock, or anger.

They hadn’t expected the demons’ methods to be so cruel, using tens of thousands of lives as sacrifices to summon evil creatures. Even the Orcs, such a barbaric race, wouldn’t do such a thing.

After the officer truthfully recounted what he had seen and heard in the Wood Elf realm, many elven nobles and lords excitedly stepped forward to offer battle: “Your Majesty, we must give the demons a sufficiently painful lesson and avenge our Wood Elf brethren!”

“That’s right! An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, respond with war!”

One after another, the hall was filled with requests for battle, retribution, and revenge.

“Quiet.”

Queen Laphia used her epic-tier power to quiet the hall, looking at the many elven nobles and lords with resentful expressions, knowing that the thad come.

With a solemn expression, she stood up slowly and said, “My men, since the enemy has already plunged the knife into the bodies of our people, slaughtering tens of thousands of our kindred from the sorigin, this is undoubtedly a blatant provocation to us, and an unequivocal declaration of war.

We, the elves, are the offspring of the Mother Goddess. We have thrived and multiplied on the Northern Continent for hundreds of thousands of years, overcoming countless obstacles and challenges along the way. We have defeated countless enemies and conquered many difficulties.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the demons were defeated by us and, as losers, were suppressed in the depths of the Chaos Abyss. And now, even if they stir up war again, the ultimate result will still be the same: the elves will stand as the victors in the end!

Now, let’s start a nationwide mobilization to be ready for the demons’ attack at anytime!”

This time, there were no objections or opposition from the elven nobles and lords. They had all truly witnessed the cruelty and ambition of the demons. The more they understood, the more alarmed they became. The demons had already begun to infiltrate, and if they had discovered it any later, the consequences would have been even more severe.

At Laphia’s command, the entire Elven Empire was mobilized. The army stood ready, reserves were called up, and strategic resources were redirected from warehouses…

The evil orcs in the barren mountains to the south were immediately terrified.

This situation seemed to indicate a large-scale war was about to break out. Weren’t we just doing a little burning, killing, and looting on your borders? Was it necessary to mobilize the entire national army to deal with us?

The mobilization of an empire naturally isn’t as swift as that of a territory, requiring several months at a time. During this period, representatives from various law-abiding powers in the northern continent arrived at the Silvermoon City.

On the day of the meeting, representatives from various countries and powers cto the council chamber.

The three countries along the northwest coast, the Maple Forest Principality, the five countries of the Eastern Land, the Mountain Giant Tribe, fairies, half­dragons…

Dozens of recognized kingdoms and racial representatives appeared in the Silvermoon Holy City, making Ji Chen keenly feel the diversity of the world’s races.

The Mountain Giants were giants with stone bodies over ten meters tall, said to be descendants of Titans, but they suffered heavy casualties in the god wars hundreds of thousands of years ago, leading to the decline of their bloodline and a significant reduction in their population.

The fairy race is a special group consisting entirely of females. Each of them possesses captivating beauty, graceful figures, and proficiency in both magic and mental spells.

The half-dragon people are descendants of ancient dragon bloodline, occupying the southeastern lands of the Northern Continent. They have even established a kingdom of half-dragons, making them a formidable force.

Among these representatives, Ji Chen spotted a familiar figure.

Among the ranks of the human delegation, Monica followed behind a young man. Suddenly, as if sensing something, she turned her head without any summons and spotted Ji Chen not far away.

At first, she was startled, then excitedly waved at him.
