Chapter 81: Chapter 80: Small Goblin Settlement, Giant Demon Clan, 2 Black Iron Treasure Chests

On the Sacrificial Altar stood the figure of Elf High Priest Shamiel.

Below the altar stood Elf Mage Captain Joy Pala and Elf Legion Commander Feiyana.

As for Elf Queen An Nobel and Fire Elf City Lord Naver, they were both administrative talents needed to manage the Divine Realm.

Therefore, the two of them were not standing here.

Instead, they watched the army from the rear of the tribe’s plaza.

"My people! Whatever your station was before, standing here today, we are all Believers under the protection of the Great God of Nature!"

"Now, the Great God of Nature has sent down an Oracle! He needs us, His Clan, to aid Him in an expedition to another continent!"

"We are to find what the Great God of Nature needs—Treasure Chests!"

"That being the case, tell me! When the Great God of Nature has need of us, what must we do?"

Elf Legion Commander Feiyana stood in the open space below the Sacrificial Altar, delivering the pre-battle mobilization speech.

"Dedicate everything to the Great God of Nature!"

The Clan below shouted in unison!

’Good. Their morale is high,’

Elf Legion Commander Feiyana thought to herself.

Meanwhile, on the Sacrificial Altar, Elf High Priest Shamiel...

...was kneeling, praying for the Great God of Nature to cast His gaze upon them!

Seeing this, Zhang Yi didn’t hesitate to send a small part of his Divine Soul to possess his Holy Believer, Elf High Priest Shamiel.

As long as Zhang Yi didn’t actively use Shamiel’s body for prolonged combat,

with Elf High Priest Shamiel’s current physical and spiritual strength, her body could sustain his consciousness for three days without issue.

When Elf High Priest Shamiel stood up from the altar once more, an aura of divine majesty radiated from her.

At that moment, every member of the Clan below knew that the Great God of Nature had cast His gaze upon them,

and was now inhabiting the body of Elf High Priest Shamiel!

As the gazes of the entire Clan focused on her, Zhang Yi, controlling Shamiel, raised the scepter in her hand.

"Victory in this battle is certain!"

The crowd below was silent for a few seconds before erupting into a deafening roar.

"Victory is certain!"

"Victory is certain!"

The armies of the Wood Elves, Fire Elves, and Mountain Dwarves were fully assembled and ready, their weapons prepared long ago.

The long-awaited voice finally sounded in Zhang Yi’s mind!

"One minute remaining until the exam begins. All candidates, please prepare!"

"60... 59... 58..."

"30... 29... 28..."

"5... 4... 3... 2... 1!"

The next moment, a black Teleportation Gate materialized precisely in front of Zhang Yi.

"Loyal members of the Clan, now is the time to show your faith in the Great God of Nature!"

Elf Legion Commander Feiyana shouted from below:

"All troops, form up! The Elf Corps will go first, followed by the Elf Mage Corps, with the Dwarf Corps bringing up the rear!"

"The Logistics unit will wait until the Dwarf Corps has passed through and we receive confirmation that it’s safe on the other side before proceeding!"

"Understood?!"

"Understood!" the long-awaiting Clan members shouted in unison.

"Good! Move out!"

Elf Legion Commander Feiyana brandished her Long Sword, leading the Elf Corps through first!

The Fire Elves and the Dwarf Clan, seeing this for the first time, were filled with profound awe!

However, after nearly two years in the Divine Realm,

most of the Dwarves and Fire Elves had already reached the level of True Believers.

Thus, after seeing the Elf Corps advance, they followed suit without hesitation!

As for Elf Mage Captain Joy Pala and Dwarf Leader Copperbeard Ironhammer,

although they too were shocked by the sight,

they concealed their astonishment, not letting it show on their faces.

After the Elf Corps and the Mage Corps had gone through, the Dwarf Corps also stepped into the Teleportation Gate.

Once word came from the other side that the area was secure, the Logistics Corps entered the Teleportation Gate as well.

After the entire army had passed through, the Teleportation Gate vanished!

Witnessing this, Elf Queen An Nobel and Fire Elf City Lord Naver could only pray silently in their hearts,

praying that with the Great God of Nature’s protection, their forces would return safely!

...

It felt as though she had passed through a curtain of water.

Stepping through, she emerged from the Teleportation Gate onto another continent!

When she opened her eyes again, the scene before her was completely different.

Elf Legion Commander Feiyana was the first to enter the Teleportation Gate, so naturally, she was the first to regain her senses.

The moment she opened her eyes, her first priority was to assess her position and the current situation.

In a single second,

Elf Legion Commander Feiyana had already sized up her surroundings.

She was on a hillside in a valley. Above her was a forest, and below, a swamp.

To her left and right, the landscape was a mix of dense trees and low-lying shrubs.

’There shouldn’t be any immediate major problems,’ Feiyana thought.

Behind Feiyana, more troops emerged from the Teleportation Gate.

"Wood Elf Scouts, split into three teams! One team, scout the mountain. One team, scout the surrounding area. And one team, scout the swamp area at the bottom of the valley!"

"The rest of the Elf Corps, form three-person cells and scout the immediate vicinity.

Wood Elf Archers, expand the safe zone.

Wood Elf Warriors and Fire Elf Warriors, expand the security perimeter!"

Feiyana barked a series of orders at the Elf Corps emerging from the gate.

Next, the Dwarf Corps came through the Teleportation Gate. After confirming there was no danger within a hundred-meter radius, the Logistics unit also came through.

The Dwarf Corps joined the surrounding Elf Corps in standing guard.

Ten minutes later, the Teleportation Gate vanished!

About half an hour later, the Wood Elf Scouts who had been sent out returned.

"Reporting to Elf Legion Commander Feiyana, we’ve completed a rough survey of the surrounding terrain!"

The three returning Elf Scout teams reported.

"Give me the important details!"

Facing a completely unknown situation, Feiyana felt a surge of anxiety.

"Yes, ma’am."

"The area above the valley is a forest, and there are two factions within it.

One is a small goblin settlement, and the other is a group of Forest Giants!"

"The Forest Giants are few in number, seemingly a small clan with only a dozen or so Giant Demons."

"On the other hand, a rough reconnaissance of the small goblin settlement estimates two to three hundred goblins!"

"However, we discovered a common Black Iron Treasure Chest in both the goblin settlement and the Giant Demons’ gathering place!"

"Those two Treasure Chests should contain the items the Great God of Nature requires!"

Hearing this news,

Feiyana’s anxiety subsided, and her sharp intellect returned.

"Excellent. The information you’ve gathered is crucial!"

"After we return to the Divine Realm, you can go to Elf High Priest Shamiel and register your name. You will have a priority slot for the next Bloodline Evolution!"

Upon hearing Elf Legion Commander Feiyana’s words, the Wood Elf Scout who had reported the information was instantly overjoyed!
