Chapter 1190 112. The Druids' Complex Emotions

Serana had never seen so many humans gather together to put out a fire...

The men carried buckets, the women carried flower baskets, and even the children held bowls that had been drained of water.

"In fact, most of them can't help, but... it's enough to have this intention."

Serana was silent for a long time, while Annan was still in a hurry to put out the fire. He looked at the elf mentor and said, "Yrilan, I will take Miss Dad and Serana first..."

Irelanze's eyes suddenly became sharp.

Serana suggested letting Annan go first, but he rejected it: "No, your companions might misunderstand you."

"Okay..." Serana was about to obey when Irelanze said, "It's no use for you to go. Dad and I will go and put out the fire first."

Annan could not refute and could only watch Irelance, Celana, and Dad squeezed on the dragon's back and flew away.

That was his place...

At this time, Olmedo, who had set out with the mage corps, rushed over.

"How did you get left behind?"

"Putting out the fire is important. My presence there won't be of any use." Annan looked mature.

He ordered the people from Liberty City who had arrived to split into two groups: Olmedo led the residents to cut a firebreak on the top of the mountain to prevent the fire from spreading, and the mages followed him to put out the fire on the west side of the mountain.

……

The raging flames licked the faces of every druid, almost devouring their hopes.

The extreme words of the elven druid gradually entangled the group of druids who were affected by negative emotions. When they were about to fall into the abyss with him, a small and insignificant rain cloud suddenly gathered above the sea of ​​fire.

The druids turned around as if they had sensed something and saw a white dragon carrying Serana and Dad, and an elf coming from a distance, emitting magical fluctuations.

The rain dropped by the rain clouds was just a drop in the bucket. Before it even hit the ground, it was evaporated by the burning forest and disappeared in the billowing smoke.

"Is this the reinforcement you called for?" Olga asked sarcastically.

Serana was about to speak when the rain cloud that was about to dissipate was suddenly infused with more magic power, extending and spreading in the air.

Selana looked back as if realizing something, and saw reinforcements emerging from the sky like wasps.

The druids also gradually noticed the dark shadows approaching.

"Human..." A cold whisper escaped from Ogar's throat.

They saw the human lord getting closer and closer, and ordered, "Prepare to put out the fire!"

As the mages who arrived spread out, they cast spells, summoning water elements, rain, and even using mud magic to smash the burning forest.

Annan had no time to greet the druids. He rode on the back of the white dragon, climbed to the top of the forest, opened five portals that were glittering with light, and then, streams of water gushed out from the portals.

"They are the reinforcements I called for." Selana responded to Ogar.

They arrived quickly enough, but the flames still raged over a dozen miles. If not for enough mages from Liberty City, the fire might not have been put out.

Under the continuous casting of spells by Annan and hundreds of mages, the raging flames gradually died down, leaving behind a charred land with flickering sparks and rising green smoke.

With little magic power left, Annan landed and opened the portal for the last time, this time to summon soldiers from the rear.

Armed with axes, shovels and baskets, they charged toward the scorched earth as if charging an enemy.

When one of the soldiers ran past the druids with a bucket in his arms, Ogar suddenly drew his bow and aimed at the soldier with trembling hands.

"what are you up to……!"

"Put out the fire." The guard ignored the arrows aimed at him, thinking that the elf was just reacting to stress.

"You set the fire and now you are here to put it out?" Ogar sneered. "You don't seem very smart... The one who set the fire was another group of people. What does it have to do with us?"

"You are all human!"

"You elves have betrayed the alliance with Lord Annan, and Lord Annan is helping you regardless of the past grudges." The guard muttered "idiot" and went to put out the fire with a bucket of water amid the indifference of the druids.

Ogar gradually put down his bow and arrow.

There were human mages patrolling in the air, dousing the rekindled forest. Soldiers who had entered the scorched earth also used water and soil to block the smoking areas. The fire was gradually brought under control and should be out soon.

However, the black scars are still ugly at the foot of the mountain.

Olmedo took his men to Franco to question him, and the soldiers who had successfully saved the life began to cheer. The smiles on their faces made the druids feel even more complicated.

They seemed to see a group of...completely different humans.

"Why are there two people missing?"

Annan followed Selana to the druids.

They said that two of their companions were captured by the knights of the Franco Territory. Annan nodded and walked through the scorched woods to the other side of the Franco Territory.

There were some charred outlines at the edge of the forest. Annan initially thought they were people who had been burned to death, but the outlines were larger.

When Annan walked over, Olmedo was negotiating with the leader of the Black Stone Knights and the mayor of Greenleaf Town.

"How dare you set fire to the mountain!"

"Deputy Lord Olmedo, we are setting fire to the forest on the Franco territory side."

"But you have no ability to put out the fire, and sooner or later it will spread to the east side of the mountains." Olmedo was indifferent to the mayor's excuse.

After Annan told Olmedo the situation, she demanded that the Knights hand over the two druids.

The leader of the Knights Templar, Noal, refused to hand over the druids on the grounds that they had killed and injured dozens of knights.

"Then I can only negotiate with your lord." Annan took the initiative to speak.

Facing the neighboring lord, Noal first performed the knight's salute, and then stated that he would not hand over the druid unless the lord spoke.

One of the two druids has died and the other is seriously injured, but so many people in the Knights Templar have died and a forest has been burned, someone must bear the price.

Annan was puzzled by Noal's toughness: "Do you hate druids?"

"You don't know?"

"what do you know?"

Noal suddenly remembered that the champion warlock in front of him had just arrived not long ago, and he only uttered one word: blood feud.

It seems that this conflict is mixed with some deeper hatred.

"I won't magnanimously ask you to let go of your hatred. I just hope you don't affect innocent people."

Annan asked again: "But give us the bear druid first. It's dying, and it will be too late if we don't do anything. You can tell your lord that I took it away by force."

Noal hesitated for a moment, softened his attitude, and handed over the unconscious Bear Druid.

But it was not because Annan was the lord of Liberty City, but because he knew that Annan was a squire of the Holy Grail Knight.

All knights are proud to be Holy Grail Knights, and Noal is no exception.

Olmedo stayed here to negotiate for the time being. Annan first tore open the magic scroll to help the Bear Druid stop the bleeding, and then opened the portal to send him back to Liberty City for treatment.
