Later, some people said that the demise of the Human Empire symbolized the beginning of World War I.

Some people also said that the First World War had already begun in the struggle between the gods. When mortals were affected, it meant that the First World War was already in full swing.

But for people who lived during the First World War, they didn't know about it.

All they know is that the world is filled with war, corpses, and refugees whose countries have been destroyed and whose families have been ruined.

Looking at the lifeless village in front of him, Annuo couldn't help but sigh.

"This bunch of bastards!"

Gloria held back her tears and closed the eyes of a white-haired elf corpse beside her.

The body was badly broken, with bite marks from the giant mouth.

Then she placed her hand on the hilt of the sword at her waist, stood up and prepared to follow the traces left by the army from the other dimension.

But a figure stood in front of Gloria.

"Anno, get out of the way!"

Gloria said with red eyes.

"Our mission is to investigate the situation here, not to kill the enemies."

An Nuo held Gloria's shoulders and persuaded her, "If you rush forward now, you will only put yourself in danger.

Moreover, the other party has long known about my existence in the elves. I am sure that there is a high probability that there will be a high-level Strider waiting for me in their team.

Once the fight starts, I won't be able to take care of you at all!"

Anno knew Gloria was in pain.

But the current situation is not the time to go to war with the enemy.

"And now Alysana is waiting for us to return. It's not worth it if they are in danger because we delay here for too long!"

Under Annuo's persuasion, Gloria looked at the elves being killed around her, gritted her teeth, and went into the woods with the elf guards behind her.

After returning to the outpost observation point, Alysana immediately inquired about the situation.

"How is it going? Have you arranged for the residents of At Village to evacuate? If they don't retreat, the war will spread there sooner or later."

When Alysana saw Gloria locking herself in the room with red eyes and without saying a word, she immediately realized that something was wrong.

She turned and looked at Anno.

An Nuo shook his head helplessly and said, "We went too late. The village is gone."

"how so!"

When Alysana heard the news, tears immediately rolled in her eyes.

The current residents of Yat Village have actually long become a gathering place for the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled from a dozen nearby villages.

The young and strong elves who were capable of retreating had long been "driven" to the rear by the older generation of elves.

The reason why they are unwilling to retreat is simple.

The retreat of thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled elven villagers to the rear simply put greater survival pressure on the villages and towns in the rear.

So they don't plan to withdraw.

After Gloria learned the news, she planned to take people back to the rear.

Such action is very risky because enemy scouts may be nearby.

So the two women invited An Nuo over.

But in the end, it was still too late.

"You watch over Gloria. I'm going to go outside for a walk."

Anno made a look at Alysana, then turned and left the base.

"Don't follow me. Strengthen the security around here. This stronghold is very dangerous now. Order people to gather supplies and prepare to evacuate." Several members of the escort team who wanted to follow and obey the command were stopped by Annuo.

"Yes, sir!"

Several elves responded respectfully and then slipped away.

Although Annuo is not an elf, he has fought for the elves in the past five years and has a very high reputation among the elves.

After An Nuo left the base, he flew in one direction.

A few hours later, Anno caught up with the enemy who massacred At Village.

A team of more than 10,000 people was marching, obviously surveying the surrounding situation and eliminating the elves' observation points.

"Xiaomu, it's our turn!"

An Nuo whispered.

“Chichi~!”

Xiao Mu, who was hanging on An Nuo's shoulder, immediately turned into a pool of green liquid, wrapping An Nuo's body.

After a while, Anno was wearing a green slime armor.

This is the current ability of Xiao Mu, who has reached the ninth level.

The defense of the armor formed after hardening is no weaker than that of the magic suit.

And after being damaged, it can recover quickly.

The reason why Annuo is so cautious despite his current strength is because he has already locked onto a special enemy among this group of people.

A level seven demon with intricate magic patterns all over his body, surrounded by a group of level seven, level eight, and even level nine demons.

If I'm not mistaken, the other party is the Strider.

Those high-ranking people around him should be guards who are buying time for the God Walker to pray to the gods.

The reason why An Nuo was so familiar with this was because the enemy had started using this method to deal with An Nuo half a year ago.
