Chapter 117 The war is about to begin
The elves are not a race that is completely isolated from the outside world. Although their forest only allows a few believers of the God of Nature to enter, they have built several small towns outside the forest.
These towns are the only places in the outside world where one can come into contact with elves.

These towns are very prosperous. After all, the elves' artworks, medicinal herbs, and magic items are in short supply outside, and many merchants will wait in the town to buy the elves' goods. These merchants bring goods from all over the continent to the town, as well as consumption.

The goblins would of course stop in these towns, sell the goods they had collected, and try to buy up some of the elven specialties.

"We'll be there soon. We can only take you to those elf towns."

Lysabelle looked out the window and could already see the elven-style tree houses. These tree houses were directly grown under the elves' magic and were only found in these towns.

"No problem, someone will come pick me up."

Lysabel had contacted other believers of the God of Nature through prayer on the way, and they would pick me up in the town outside the forest.

"I remind you that if you don't receive the appropriate reward, we will withhold your holy symbol."

The goblin didn't say anything else. He even hoped that the treasure the other party took out was not valuable, so that he would have a reason to keep the holy emblem in his hand.

The carriage slowly drove towards the town, and the goblin leader soon realized that something was wrong. There were many fully armed elves outside the town, clearing a path into the town among the messy vendors.

"Why are there so many elves?"

The leader of the goblin caravan felt very strange. He had been to the outlying towns of the elves several times. Generally speaking, there would be less than a hundred elves living in these towns. The duties of these elves were simple, which was to maintain the basic connection between the forest and the outside world.

Now, the elven army appeared in the town. The goblins slowed down their carriages, waiting to be guided by the elves, and stopped outside the town.

Soon, several elven soldiers noticed the goblin convoy and came over to meet them.

"plz follow me."

The goblin caravan followed the soldiers' lead and slowly drove towards the town gate. The goblins noticed something was wrong and some elven soldiers passed by the caravan. The caravan leader watched them lead the caravan to an open space far away from the town.

"My Lord, where are we going?"

The caravan had entered the town, and the leader of the caravan discovered that all the merchants in the town had been driven out. Now the streets in the town were empty, with only a small number of elven soldiers rushing towards the town walls.

The goblin looked at the elven soldiers passing by him. Even the most common soldiers had strengths of level 4 or above, which was roughly equivalent to level 6 warriors according to human strength standards. At this level, in most human kingdoms, they could lead a team of 100 men.

"Go to the square. Your reward is there."

The soldiers turned a corner. It was obvious that the planning of this town took into account the possibility of the city walls being breached. The interior of the town was like a maze, and it was impossible to reach the square in the center of the town without turning several corners.

“It’s too ostentatious to load and unload those rewards out there.”

The soldier added this, then led the caravan forward in silence.

In the square, several elves were waiting there. They were wearing sacrificial robes and judging from the patterns on them, they were of high status.

"The High Priest of the Natural Religion?"

The caravan leader identified the priests by the patterns on their robes.

Unlike the Sun God Church, the Church of Nature is very restrained in accepting believers. Apart from the elves, it only occasionally accepts some rangers who love nature as believers. Even among the elves, there are not many believers who can become priests, and there are only a few high priests. However, their strength is much stronger than their counterparts in the Sun God Church. Every high priest of the Nature God Church has
They came towards us before the carriage had even stopped.

"Your Excellency the High Priest, why are you here?"

Lisabel was also a little confused. The vague revelation during her prayers could not convey a clear message. She only knew that there would be elves.
"Something has changed. You need to get to the Mother Tree Temple immediately. I want to discuss this with you in detail."

The high priest saluted and watched Lysabel get off the carriage. The soldiers nearby had already confirmed the rewards with the leader of the goblin caravan and began to load the rewards onto the carriage.

"My Lord, your holy emblem."

Lysabelle numbly took the holy emblem handed to her by the soldier and put it on herself again.

"Goblin, is this also the arrangement of the dragon? It is really flawless."

The Elf High Priest looked at the goblins, muttered something, and then looked at Lysabel who was a little uneasy. "Did something big happen?"

Lysabel noticed the uneasiness in the priests' eyes.

"The Sun God Cult seems to be mobilizing the religious troops in their rear."

"But the Wind Whispering Kingdom has disappeared. They don't need more troops..."

Lysabel soon understood.

"Are they going to continue attacking the elves? How is that possible? As long as the forest still exists, it would be suicide."

The high priest shook his head.

"So, they are likely to attack our window town. We need to move you into the forest as soon as possible."

A priest brought over a unicorn, a native creature of the magical forest that could not be attacked by the forest and was the only usable means of transportation in the forest.

"Where are my two companions?"

"They are not that close to the Lord. They need to undergo a ceremony before they can enter the forest."

After all, Lysabel's companions are not elves. Although they believe in the God of Nature, they have never undergone formal baptism and been accepted by the God of Nature to become her true believers.

The magic forest will still attack them, and they can only enter the forest after the elves perform a small ceremony to let the mother tree know that they are not enemies.

"But does the Kingdom of Valandi really have the ability to continue the attack? They have suffered heavy casualties, and the goblins are said to be not enthusiastic about the next alliance. The pressure from other kingdoms is also increasing. Queen Lania is not a reckless woman, and she should not choose to start a new round of war at this time."

Lisabel's judgment was correct. Lanya was now in the church, expressing her dissatisfaction to Archbishop Laming without any scruples.

"I demand that the Sun God Cult stop its actions. This is courting death."

The purpose of the church is to let those people die.

"This is a direct order from His Majesty."

"Do you know how much trouble this will cause us diplomatically?"

Laming nodded.

"We know that we have negotiated with the surrounding kingdoms and they will not express any objections."

The church paid enough to temporarily appease those kingdoms that had objections. After all, this was an action purely against foreign races, and those kingdoms finally shut up after getting the benefits.

"We are unable to provide any assistance to the church. Right now, restoring stability to the Kingdom of Wind Whisper has taken up all of our energy."

Laming had no objection to this.

"I understand. We don't need much assistance from the Kingdom."

This is just a suicidal attack and it won't last long. The kingdom doesn't need to provide logistics and support. The dry food that the crusaders carry with them is enough.

"That's it, I have things to do."

"Wait, one last thing."

Laming stopped Lanya who was about to leave.

"I need missionary rights to this land."
