Defying the Fate of Beheading

Chapter 704 369: Silly kids, run quickly! _2

...On the other side.

Louis was still in a state of reminiscence until he reached the Lokeshi Empire.

Fortunately, his willpower was strong, and he barely suppressed it.

Yet, as soon as he arrived in Lokeshi, he received news that stunned him.

...

"What did you say? The Golden Land has started to take action again?"

Louis had just arrived in Lokeshi, his seat cushion in the carriage still not warm, when he heard the news from the Sword Master that made his face change slightly.

The first great disaster, the destruction of the Golden Land, is the longest-lasting disaster among all the catastrophes.

Its uniqueness lies in the Golden Land itself, which is a demi-plane closely connected to the Star Continent.

Or rather, it was once the Divine Kingdom of a deity.

The God of Growth and Forest was the last deity, after ascending to godhood, who did not separate the Divine Kingdom from the Star Continent.

In the distant past, when his faith still spread across the earth, he had a large number of elves under his command.

Of course, the elves back then were not the same as the elves now.

No one knows what happened in the Golden Land, only that one day the entire Golden Land was completely isolated from the outside world.

For about 100 years, almost no one saw any trace of the elves.

As time passed, the elves of later generations emerged from the Underground City, appearing on the Star Continent, seeking their opportunity to step onto the world stage.

And enhancing their high-level combat power became a necessity for the elves.

Among them, the plan to cultivate a race god was put on the agenda.

When people heard news of the Golden Land again, the elves had already acquired part of the remains of the God of Growth and Forest.

Subsequently, the main god of the elven pantheon used the remaining power in the relics to complete a crucial step in ascending to godhood.

Then, the long-silent Golden Land suddenly reappeared.

However, when it reappeared, the elves of the Golden Land had already gone completely mad.

They launched frenzied attacks on surrounding areas, especially on the later generations of elves, who they slaughtered relentlessly.

The industry widely circulated the news that the God of Growth and Forest hadn't entirely fallen, but the elves had somehow stolen everything he left behind, which provoked the wrath of the elves from the Golden Land.

After all, it's said that if a deity completely falls, the directly associated followers would suffer severe aftereffects; even going mad is not out of the question.

Nowadays, few people know of the existence of the elves of the Golden Land.

Because now they are labeled with other names, the most common being "fairies," a race that is both good and evil.

Mad fairies are not as cute and delightful as in fairy tales.

They are a highly destructive race of slaughter.

The monsters from myths and legends that can stop children from crying at night mostly originate from them.

As the Elf Realm obtained the divine remains of the God of Growth and Forest, it inevitably became the center of attention.

To quell the anger of various countries and to make a name for themselves on the Star Continent, the Elf Realm engaged in a prolonged war with the Golden Land.

This entangled fate persisted for thousands of years.

Even today, legends of fairies still circulate, but almost no one has ever seen this race again.

An emperor once told him something about the Golden Land.

Overall, countries still acknowledge the efforts of the Elf Realm in dealing with the Golden Land back then.

It's even hard to say whether the collapse of the Elf Realm had nothing to do with the Golden Land.

However, Louis never expected the destructive Golden Land to suddenly appear at such a delicate time.

He looked at the Sword Master and asked, "Where did you hear about this?"

The Sword Master shrugged and said, "You should know that we are the only human nation that completely surpassed the three elven nations."

Louis's mouth twitched slightly, sensing the hint of Versailles in it.

In fact, the Sword Master was indeed being rather boastful.

He told Louis that to this day, the Lokeshi Empire still maintains considerable oversight over "that country" among the three elven nations.

And the entrance to the Golden Land is precisely in the last elf kingdom.

"Our Hidden Guards stationed there sensed the Golden Land stirring again, and the judgment given by the associated Astronomical Mage is that the Golden Land is about to launch its final counterattack."

Louis pinched the bridge of his nose.

The future diary did not detail the situation of Lokeshi Empire.

Or perhaps, dealing with such a nation, even in the IF line, he couldn't uncover much of the inside story.

The future diary only recorded that the Sword Master fought with a mysterious powerful being for unknown reasons and ultimately died in battle.

This action directly accelerated the collapse of the Lokeshi Empire.

As for the reason and outcome, few could sort out the cause, because the situation exploded too suddenly.

He wasn't even sure if the resurrection of the Golden Land had also occurred in the future diary.

"Planning to send troops to assist the elves?"

The Sword Master shook his head, "We can't meddle in this matter, and frankly, dealing with fairies is not our forte."

The Sword Master spoke with genuine honesty.

Louis could understand as well.

How could one expect the Lokeshi Empire to aid their former arch-enemies?

Not spitting on their graves is already considered merciful.

Just as the Sword Master was about to reminisce about the glorious years of the past, suddenly both of them felt the carriage shake strangely.

Once.

Twice.

Thrice.

...

It was as if a spring had been triggered, bouncing up and down several times.

Then, a moderate explosion sounded.

Louis's hair suddenly stood on end, and he pushed open the window to look in the direction of the explosion.
