Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The Roth Empire quickly retreated their army, and the garrison, Irina, and Helena arrived successively. The reinforcements from the neighboring landlords had also arrived. This marked the end of the sudden attack.
However, its effects would not stop just like that. Once certain memories had been awakened, they would not be easily erased again.
“You’re right. We chased the orcs and demons out of the Wind Forest like this a century ago. A century later, we are still using the same method.” Helena looked at the elves supporting each other with mixed feelings. After that, she looked at Irina. “We are not in the wrong. Neither are they. However, those landlords are really terrible. I will change them all.”
“The result will be the same no matter who sits in that position,” Irina mocked. After that, she looked at the elves below, and continued, “Besides, when everyone realizes that what you are doing is wrong, do you think you can still maintain this?”
The elves below looked up at Irina and Helena. Very quickly, they lowered their heads with differing expressions.
Helena looked at Irina as she said coldly, “Your ambition in attempting to break the elves apart will not succeed. You should leave this place now.”
“If you do not have the ability to protect this forest and these people, I will be back again. When that happens, you will see what the elves should be like.” Irina reached out and caressed a branch of the Tree of Life. A golden glow appeared beneath her feet, and she disappeared.
The branches of the Tree of Life swayed slightly, as though it was bidding Irina farewell.
“I won’t be wrong. This is the only way out for the elves…” Helena clenched her fists tightly.
“High Priestess, should we give chase to the Roth Empire’s cavalry to take back our lost land? Please advise,” Patton asked Helena.
“Patton, I command you to lead an army out immediately to chase out any foreign race from our borders and recover the elves’ land!” Helena ordered in her usual assertive tone.
“Yes!” Patton left after receiving the order.
“Call all the landlords over for a landlord meeting. I have something to discuss with them,” Helena told the elf beside her as she turned around. She paused for a while, and said, “Tell Sally to come to look for me.”

“Little Boss, why aren’t you going in? It’s so cold outside,” Harrison said to Annie and Amy with bewilderment while holding Georgina’s hand when he saw the two girls sitting at the steps in front of the door.
“We don’t have keys. Father is not at home. We’re waiting for him to come home.” Amy saw the two people hand in hand, and smilingly told Harrison, “Uncle Blue Fatty. Is this beautiful big sister your daughter?”
Georgina covered her mouth and laughed. This little girl was not only beautiful, but was also a sweet talker. She actually made her out to be so young.
“Do I look that old?” Harrison was not angry when he saw Georgina smile happily. He was just slightly vexed.
“That’s not exactly it. You’re just as old as a few big sisters, so you look like a father.” Amy shook her head.
“Yes. That’s a big sense of security,” Georgina said shyly with a nod. She leaned her head on Harrison’s chest and smiled.
During this period, Harrison had been going out every day to look for food. There was finally some color on Georgina’s face and some meat on her bony body, which gave her back her youthful vibe.
“Hehe.” Harrison chuckled foolishly. He wanted to give Amy a big thumbs-up for that effective aid.
“Little Amy, Annie, come and over and eat.” Just then, Xixi walked over from the magic potion shop next door as she called out to the two girls.
“Alright.” Amy’s eyes lit up. The moment she stood up, her stomach started rumbling. She bade farewell to Harrison, and held Annie’s hand as the two girls made their way to the magic potion shop.
“Boss Mag is too much. The two children are still at home. How can he leave without even saying anything? I made a meal for you two.” Xixi made a few dishes, and scooped two bowls of rice for Amy and Annie. Her heart went out to them when she watched them eat hungrily.
“Father must be held back by something. Maybe he went to catch a goose. He said he would make us roast goose,” Amy explained with a smile as she helped herself with some rice.
“This child.” Xixi could not hold her laughter in. It was just a passing comment. There was no doubt that Boss Mag loved the two children. If there weren’t any delays, he would never let the two children go hungry.
“Big Sister Xixi, when can the baby in your tummy come out?” Amy asked curiously as she looked at Xixi’s bulging tummy.
Annie looked at Xixi curiously too. She was also very interested in Xixi’s baby.
“It’s too early for that. The baby is still very small now. It will only come out a few more months later,” Xixi said with a motherly smile.
“Baby, you must be good. When you come out, you can play with us,” Amy said as she went over and caressed Xixi’s stomach.
Annie also reached out to caress Xixi’s stomach with a smile.

Mag intercepted four Roth Empire troops that had invaded the Twilight Forest, and forced them to retreat together with the pressure of the allied forces.
The troop that was invading Aug Tribe happened to run into Auster, who returned to the tribe. After a fierce battle, the invaders decided to retreat after seeing the reinforcements from other orc tribes.
Another troop reached the Falk Tribe, and was beaten to a pulp by tens of orc allied forces. The 30,000 cavalrymen were either killed or taken prisoner.
However, the northwestern allied forces that had retreated did not return to their original borders. Instead, they shifted the border 100 kilometers forward towards the Twilight Forest, and set up their camp there. The reinforcements had already paved a way over, and caught up with them.
“Where is that fellow, Josh, hiding?” Mag circled over the fallen tribes in Twilight Forest, but did not find any traces of Josh. The system did not give him any feedback, either.
Tying up the loose ends was what the orcs and the Roth Empire had to deal with. What Mag was more concerned about right now was that Josh probably had already sold his soul to the Great Old One. Was the Great Old One controlling Josh related to the one that disappeared beneath Dragon Island?
After starting a war among three races, and absorbing the resentment of those who had passed away, would Josh become stronger?
“He’s a ruthless one.” In the end, Mag chose to give up, and left a comment on Josh.
He was a person who was willing to forsake a throne he could have gotten and his identity as the second prince of an empire to become the puppet of the devil. What else was he not capable of?
“Oh, no! I forgot to cook for Amy and Annie!” Mag glanced at his watch, and hit his head. After that, he said anxiously, “Ah Zi, let’s go back!”
