Era of Castles: Starting with 99 Dragon Eggs

Chapter 155: The Ancient Elven Tree

Mike’s words stunned Serena.

Her expression changed, and she gritted her teeth, “no, the ancient elven tree is very important to us!”

“Without her, our nature elves will not be able to reproduce!”

“If you insist on taking the ancient elven tree, then our nature elf tribe would rather fight you!”

Serena’s tone was very determined. To the nature elves, the ancient elven tree was indeed a mother-like existence.

If Mike wanted their ancient elven tree, would that not be the same as changing sides and taking away their mother?

This was something that the nature elves would definitely not agree to!

However, due to Mike’s current strength, Serena did not dare to speak so strongly. Not long after, Serena looked at Mike and said, “in fact, the resources that our elven tribe has are far beyond your imagination.”

“We nature elves basically don’t need food. We usually live in tree houses and love nature. Therefore, we don’t need stone or wood!”

“The only resources that our elven tribe has stored are large amounts of empire gold coins!”

“Let me put it this way, just the elven treasury alone has 20,000 gold coins. Their value to you should not be weaker than the ancient elven tree, right? Why do you keep chasing after the ancient elven tree that is extremely important to us?”

Hearing this… Mike’s expression changed slightly.

Empire gold coins, of course, he had also heard about it in the chat channel. It was something that the various empire forces used to trade.

Empire gold coins were a hard currency. Even if it was an enemy force, the Castle Lord could still use gold coins to trade with the local empire forces for materials, equipment, and so on.

However, no matter how good gold coins were, they were of no use to him at the moment. This was because his dragon castle only regarded the empire forces as an enemy to strengthen itself for the time being. There was no need to have any dealings with them for the time being.

“Gold coins are not of much use to me right now. My request is still the same. If you nature elves move away, the ancient elven tree must stay,” Mike shook his head and said stubbornly.

The natural laws contained in the ancient elven tree might very well be of help to the Dragon Castle. This was something he had to get!

Seeing Mike, he had no intention of backing down. Serena was not going to back down.

The ancient elven tree was their mother, but also their everything. They were willing to sacrifice their lives to protect the tree!

Finally, as a last resort, Serena pulled out her trump card and looked at Mike with a hint of determination.

“Dear Lord of dragons, with all due respect, have you ever wondered what our elven queen in the elven empire would think if the elven tribes of the Dark Forest were to be destroyed overnight?”

“Moving my people and the elven ancient trees away is already the elven tribe’s biggest concession. Otherwise, once the elven tribe is destroyed and the elven queen finds out about this, although the gods can not leave the central area due to the agreement, she will still be able to send out the terrifying elven empire’s army!”

“When that time comes, the Dragon Castle will have to face an enemy of the saint-tiers like me. You will also be destroyed!”

Her final trump card was the elven empire.

She was extremely sure that even if Mike had a trump card that could instantly destroy a saint-tier powerhouse, he would definitely not be able to resist the power of the elven empire.

After all, it was the elven empire that had all the elven forces gathered together. It was enough to be considered one of the top forces in the Endless Continent!

However, Serena’s words did not have the proper effect. Instead, it made Mike more aware of what he should do now!

That’s right, he had caught a key message from Serena’s words.

It was because of some kind of agreement that a god-level existence like the elven queen could not leave the central region!

This was simply great news for him! This meant that before he came into contact with the forces in the central region, he would definitely not encounter a situation where a god-tier powerhouse could destroy the Dragon Castle with a single blow!

Other than that, he was also not worried about the elven queen’s empire army.

There were so many fire elves, snow elves, wind Elves, and elven forces in the Endless Continent. The elven queen would not send an empire army to attack his castle just because of the destruction of the Dark Forest, a small place for the elven tribe.

Serena was just pretending to be aggressive!

Mike became even more aggressive. “Great elven elder, this is the last time I will remind you! I only have two demands. First, submit to me, and I will ensure the safety of your elf tribe, and I will not treat you as slaves.”

“Second, your elf tribe will be destroyed in an instant!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Mike shifted his thoughts slightly.

10,000 meters in the sky above the castle, another huge dragon might cannon of Sky City adjusted its angle and aimed at a group of mountains tens of kilometers away from Serena’s main body.

In an instant, a cannon was fired!

Roar!!

Accompanied by a dragon’s roar that seemed to shake the heaven and Earth, a red pillar of light shot out and bombarded the mountains.

In an instant, the earth trembled. The mountains and boulders that were thousands of meters tall were completely destroyed, not even leaving a single residue.

There were countless creatures on the mountain, and monsters in the wild had lost their lives under the cannon fire.

What was left was a broken mountain. A terrifying crimson flame was still burning at the crack.

“What terrifying power is this light beam…”

In the cave, saint-tier Serena fell silent.

The power of the attack just now made her feel extremely small. She was at least at the demigod-level and above.

This attack was enough to instantly destroy thousands of members of the elf tribe, just like the countless creatures on the mountain.

In the Dragon Castle.

Serena’s shadow kept trembling under the power of that attack. It looked like it was going to shatter at any moment.

“Then, first elder, if you’re willing to leave the ancient elven tree, you still have the chance to leave with your people safely. So, what’s your choice? Don’t let me down.”

Mike, who was in a high position, still looked at Serena indifferently.

It seemed that he had been so casual and indifferent from the beginning to the end.

Serena raised her head and looked at Mike with an extremely conflicted expression.

Just now, the Dragon Lord had given her an ultimatum.

She also knew that the other party was definitely not joking. In the next moment, if she did not make a choice, that beam of light would definitely shoot towards the elf tribe.

At the same time, she felt very helpless. At first, she came to the Dragon Castle to investigate, but in the end, was it not the dragon that entered the elf treasury first?

She had originally come to the Dragon Castle to discuss peace. The elf tribe was clearly the weaker side, but the Dragon Lord had labeled it as wanting to start a war, and she was being forced to use her strength.

Up until now, she had no way to fight back.
