A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 594: The All-Tactical Transformer

In the endless void outside the Golden Forest, a massive number of elven soldiers clashed with Jiang Shuzhou's troops.

This is the seventh time the enemy has launched an attack.

Regardless of casualties or costs, it seemed that even if it meant sacrificing a great deal, they were determined to reclaim the Golden Forest plane.

At this point, the elves had already begun to show signs of madness.

Perhaps they thought it was just anger at losing their homeland, but Jiang Shuzhou knew it was not.

The elves have become increasingly extreme and violent.

While Jiang Shuzhou's occupation of elven lands was certainly a contributing factor, a significant part of the reason was the pollution of the elven World Tree by Jiang Shuzhou.

As offspring of the Elf World Tree, the Elf race's bond with the Elf World Tree is deeper than anyone can imagine.

It can be said that the elves are the embodiment of the Elf World Tree; they can influence the Elf World Tree, and conversely, the Elf World Tree can also influence them.

"How is the World Tree doing?"

Jiang Shuzhou's guess was correct; the Elven race had already been affected by the strange phenomenon of the World Tree.

Of course, Thranduil, as a legend and the Elvenking, was relatively rational.

"The World Tree remains the same, and has even become more violent."

Upon hearing this, Thranduil's already unpleasant expression turned even more so.

Is there any way to treat this?

Thranduil asked.

The World Tree is the foundation of the Elven race; it absolutely cannot be allowed to fall into danger.

"We are currently using purification techniques, with minimal effect, but they are indeed effective."

"Then we must intensify our efforts and, no matter what, ensure the World Tree's continued existence!"

Thranduil commanded.

"But if that's the case, then our floating city will have to stay here."

Finrod gave a wry smile.

For some reason, this power is extremely difficult to eliminate. Only legendary mages, using the amplification of the floating city and their skillful mastery of magic, can slowly pick out the problematic part of the law power and then release magic to purify it.

Only by following this process can purification be completed.

The human and material resources required are almost outrageously large.

Especially in the current situation.

The elves are at war; if they concentrate their forces in one place, they will have to abandon the elves in other places.

However, if that happens, Jiang Shuzhou will then carry out a large-scale massacre of the elves.

This will only exacerbate the pollution.

"There are two options now."

Finrod said.

"Those two?"

Thranduil asked.

Finrod glanced at Thranduil, then at the chaotic World Tree behind him, and spoke.

"The first option is to proceed as planned and allow the World Tree to advance directly. Although this will cause some chaos in the World Tree, it will not affect the subsequent plans."

Thranduil pondered this for a moment, then shook his head.

"No, this puts us in a passive position, and if we do, we might turn into chaotic creatures like demons, which is not worth it at all."

Thranduil rejected Finrod's proposal outright.

"Then there's a second way."

Finrod took a deep breath and then said.

"We will launch a surprise attack to decapitate Jiang Shuzhou, or even just force him to reveal his resurrection methods."

"That way, he'll behave much better, giving us plenty of time to clean up the contamination, and he won't interfere with us."

After listening, Thranduil fell into deep thought.

Theoretically speaking, this is indeed the most advantageous option.

But it's put simply.

Who wouldn't want to kill Jiang Shuzhou?

But is that even possible?

If he could kill Jiang Shuzhou, would he still be worried about these things?

"We can unite with the gods. Anyway, I think they hate each other a lot. Maybe it will have a miraculous effect."

"That would be best."

It must be said that Fenrod's proposal did indeed tempt Thranduil.

Perhaps I can give it a try.

After all, there's no harm in giving it a try.

"Artillery position, advance five meters!"

"The armored knight's charge angle is now five degrees to the left!"

"..."

Unlike the gloomy mood of the elves, Jiang Shuzhou was quite happy at this moment.

Just like playing a game, Jiang Shuzhou commanded his troops to enter the battlefield and kill one enemy after another.

"Your Majesty, something has happened."

At this moment, someone walked over, bowed to Jiang Shuzhou, and then said.

"What is it?"

Jiang Shuzhou was having a great time.

"Intelligence indicates that there have been frequent troop movements between the gods and the elves. It is speculated that someone may be planning to carry out a decapitation strike against you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuzhou was stunned.

What does this mean?

He was in the floating city, and he hadn't even gone to find them yet, so how did they end up delivering themselves to his doorstep?

"Ignore them and intensify the attack on other planes. I want to see results in seven days."

Jiang Shuzhou disagreed.

The mages in the floating city were beheaded.

It's amazing that these people could come up with such a thing.

Why don't you go to the gods' kingdom and behead them?

Despite saying that, Jiang Shuzhou was not too arrogant and chose to ignore it.

Since the other party dared to do this, they might have something else to rely on, so Jiang Shuzhou naturally prepared to be more careful.

This means to despise the enemy strategically, but take the enemy seriously tactically.

"To operate Shenzhen Airlines."

Jiang Shuzhou gave the order.

The so-called "Shenzhen Airlines" refers to activating the concealment system of Ideal City to cover it up.

Once it's turned on, there's virtually no chance of it being detected.

In an instant, the Ideal City shrank considerably and began to become transparent. Then, an invisible force spread out, and the Ideal City entered the dream world, disappearing completely from the real world.

No one can find it.

Of course, passively taking a beating is not Jiang Shuzhou's style.

Since the other side has already resorted to a decapitation strike, Jiang Shuzhou is naturally prepared to do something big in return.

As the saying goes, every tactic is adaptable. Since the other side has gone so far as to behead Jiang Shuzhou, then Jiang Shuzhou should also behead him.

However, what he beheaded were the elves of the main plane.

More accurately, it belongs to the Elf World Tree.

"I hope you will still dare to draw your swords against me then."

Jiang Shuzhou sneered.

Immediately following, under Jiang Shuzhou's orders, the Soth Society's forces launched a three-pronged attack: fighting against the forces of the gods and elves in the main plane, defending the Golden Forest plane, and attacking other planes.

Of course, since he was going to move, Jiang Shuzhou naturally had to prepare a new home.

The Golden Forest is a good choice right now.

With bones and flesh intertwined, under Jiang Shuzhou's command, a creature resembling a floating city was quickly created.

Undoubtedly, its sole purpose is to deceive the other party into believing that Jiang Shuzhou is in the Golden Forest dimension.

As for how the intelligence was transmitted?

But don't forget, there are three mice in the Golden Forest.

They will help Jiang Shuzhou pass on the message.
