Chapter 1966: My Youth Has Returned

The magical storm died down gradually. The Roth Empire’s soldiers present had never witnessed a scene where thousands of magic casters released their magic together.

The younger generation of the elven race had never witnessed that before, either.

Hence, their faces were filled with shock and fear when they saw the mess on the ground.

Almost all the 10,000 heavy cavalrymen were annihilated in this magical storm.

A few 10th-tier magic casters, dozens of 9th-tier and 8th-tier magic casters, a bunch of 7th-tier magic casters, and countless mid-tier magic casters had all deployed their most powerful magic on this land.

However, this so-called motley crowd all had smiles on their faces now.

“My youth has returned.” A bald mister rubbed his head and chuckled.

The elves around him began to laugh too. Yes, the younger elves might not have seen this scene before, but the veterans were the ones who had worked together to chase the invading demons and orcs out of the Wind Forest back then.

100 years had passed. Some of them became the nobles in the City of Life, while some became vendors and servants in the noble families. Nobody thought they would one day stand together, and resist an invasion from the enemy again.

Looking at the people who had once fought along with them at their side, their clothes and status were all vastly different now. They had all once used their lives to exchange for 100 years of peace for this land and home, but now they all ended up with different lives.

After 100 years, it was still they who were standing here.

This was so laughable.

A hint of dejection and shame flashed across many elves’ eyes.

“They… actually all perished?” Sally’s eyes widened as she watched the 10,000 heavy cavalrymen perish with disbelief. They were the Roth Empire’s best-equipped heavy cavalry. She had only hoped the veterans could help to defend the City of Life for two hours while waiting for the garrison to return when she summoned these people.

“So powerful!”

In the City of Life, those young elves were also watching this scene with an expression of disbelief.

“This is nothing. The orcs and demons’ allied forces back then were much more difficult to handle than this. Didn’t we chase them out of the forest too?” An elf who could barely walk by himself chuckled. “Don’t look down on this motley crowd. They are the real veterans. The youngsters in the garrison cannot even compare to them.”

“Then, why did some of them become servants?” a young elf asked perplexedly.

“That is the saddest thing.” A hint of mockery flashed across the old elf’s eyes. “The group of people who had fought for this forest and freedom with their lives and blood ended up losing their freedom. Their own people took their freedom away. However, when a crisis arose again, they still came forward without any hesitation.”

The surrounding elves fell silent as they pondered deeply.

On the platform, Patton’s eyes were filled with tears. He had once stood on this spot, and commanded the elves as they defeated the invading orc and demon allied forces again and again.

100 years had passed, and their opponent became the Roth Empire, but he was still standing here, and the fighters were still those same fighters.

“Damn! Bastard!” Iman looked at the knights that were lying on the ground with reddened eyes.

This was his most precious troop, the creme de la creme. The cost of nurturing one heavy cavalry knight was almost three times the cost of nurturing one normal knight. This was equivalent to knocking away half of his foundation.

What was even worse was that they had died so humiliatingly. They didn’t even cause any damage or threat to the City of Life.

If he had known that the other party had had so many powerful magic casters, he wouldn’t have sent the heavy cavalry as the advance force so carelessly.

The deputy general who had suggested attacking earlier asked in a quivering voice, “G-general, what do we do now?”

They had been guarding the borders for years, and knew the few elven lords at the borders fairly well. They knew the elves’ internal corruption was bad, and they were mostly cowards. The fact that they encountered no resistance all their way to the City of Life seemed to have proven this point.

He had never in his dreams expected to encounter such a setback in the hands of a motley crowd.

However, he was also feeling a little lucky. If he had tried to snatch the honor of conquering the city from Katur earlier, he would have been very dead now.

“Attack! Continue to attack! I want to see how powerful this motley crowd is. Can they really withstand our Roth Empire’s cavalry?!” Iman said through clenched teeth. He waved his hand to summon a few officers, and gave them a set of instructions.

A long howl sounded, and a troop of 1,000 steel eagles appeared on the horizon. They split into two groups, and began to circle the City of Life.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Arrows shot up from below, but the steel eagles were flying at a very high altitude, so only a few projectiles managed to hit them.

The 40,000 cavalrymen split into four troops, and surrounded the City of Life.

As a veteran general, Iman knew very well that this wasn’t a good strategy for a siege. After the heavy cavalry was exterminated, and before the enemy’s reinforcements arrived, he should be considering how to evacuate his army, meet up with the advancing troops in the rear, and then discuss the follow-up battle plan.

However, the order he received was to take down the City of Life at all costs, and do everything to hit the elven race hard.

He didn’t know what his superior’s objective was, but he knew very well that this order meant that his troops would have to sacrifice everything for the empire’s benefits, including the soldiers’ lives.

The magical storm launched by thousands of magic casters converging together was too terrifying. There was no way to survive within the storm’s range; even sacrificing his soldiers’ lives wouldn’t help at all. Hence, he chose to split up his troops, which was forcing the other party to split up their manpower at the same time too. This would eliminate the magical storm.

“Do these fellows want to die? They don’t even have reinforcements!” Patton watched his enemy changing their formations with disbelief on his face.

However, the previous attack’s result was unintentional. They had caught their opponent unawares, and that was why they could exterminate the entire contingent of heavy cavalry.

He had to adjust when his opponent changed their formations.

However, they only need to hang on for another hour now. The surrounding lords were coming with their troops, and the garrison troop was only an hour away from the City of Life.

After receiving the signals from all the troops arriving at their destinations, Iman slowly unsheathed his longsword at his waist, and yelled, “Take your shields! Charge at the City of Life!”

This time, Iman led the charge.

The liger that he was riding sprung forward. Its single leap was over 10-odd meters. It was so fast that even the best elven archer couldn’t anticipate his position.

Behind him, 10,000 cavalrists charged towards the City of Life again.

Five troops attacked the City of Life from five different directions at the same time. The battle cries were deafening.

Right then, the Tree of Life at the center of the City of Life suddenly lit up brightly…
