Philip naturally didn’t care about these; what he cared more about was what Lis really wanted to do, which is why he came to see Lis on his own initiative.
“What exactly do you want to do?”
Philip set down the teacup in his hand and looked at Lis as he spoke.
Hmm?
Lis glanced at Philip with some surprise and, after thinking for a moment, said in a deep voice,
“After establishing Nature’s Wrath, the goal is to search for the traces of Abyss Demons, regardless of their strength or weakness.”
“On one hand, it’s to train the members of Nature’s Wrath, gaining experience battling Abyss Demons, and on the other hand, it’s also to find clues about the subsequent plans of that Demon Prince.”
“Although we know that in the future the Demon Prince will have even more massive plans, we still aren’t clear about what he specifically wants to do and how he plans to achieve it.”
“The Elf Gods should also be closely monitoring the movements of the Demon Prince right now, and we should take action as well.”
Lis paused slightly before continuing,
“Besides, my plan for Nature’s Wrath isn’t limited to just the Elf Forest; it should include other areas of the Fanor Continent as well.”
“Oh?”
Philip’s eyes lit up as he looked at Lis, waiting for him to continue.
“The Demon Prince’s plans definitely won’t only target the Elf Forest and the Elf Clan; his plans should encompass the entire Fanor Continent, even the entire Gaia World!”
“Only then would he scheme for so long and pay such a large price to corrupt Lord World Tree Yggdrasil.”
“Indeed, that is the case.”
Philip nodded slightly; this was something he hadn’t noticed before, but after being reminded by Lis, he quickly realized it too.
“So, the search and fight against Abyss Demons isn’t just a matter for the Elf Kingdom, it’s a matter for all living on the Fanor Continent.”
“So you want to use the name of the Elf Kingdom and the actions of Nature’s Wrath to unite all races?”
Philip looked at Lis and said with a smile.
“Of course… not,”
Lis shook his head firmly and said.
There are simply too many races living on the Fanor Continent. The main races are the Humans occupying the central and eastern plains of the Fanor Continent, the Elves occupying the southern Great Forest, and the Dwarfs occupying most of the mountainous regions.
Beyond these, races with a civilized heritage and a Racial God like Half-orcs and goblins are also distributed.
Beastmen, on the other hand, don’t have fixed territories and residences on the Fanor Continent; they’re often wandering and traveling. Beastmen are more concentrated on the Eson Continent, where they hold the dominant position.
Apart from these powerful races, there are also many smaller extraordinary races. Except during the future invasion of the Endless Abyss when all races face an existential crisis, and all races might put aside their prejudices to join hands, it’s simply not possible for anyone to achieve this at other times.
Lis was well aware of this, so he abandoned the seemingly profitable but nearly infeasible idea.
“As for the affairs of the Elf Royal Court, Lord Correlon should have clashed with the Demon Prince beyond the world, and the All Gods have witnessed it.”
“The destruction of the Elf Royal Court is bound to cause them concern, and they should also invest some effort into the action against the Abyss Demons.”
“While an alliance is impossible, non-interference is probably achievable. It shouldn’t be a problem for Nature’s Wrath to get permission to search for Abyss Demons across the Fanor Continent.”
For now, let’s not discuss other regions. Currently, the Human Kingdom in the middle of the Fanor Continent is in a state of war, version 2.0.
Even from within the Elf Forest, Lis was able to obtain a lot of related intelligence.
During this time, chaos and bloodshed abound, and it’s when those Abyss Demons frequently emerge.
Not to mention those Abyss Demons that are hidden away, during times of war there are numerous cases in the Human Kingdoms where people praying to Demons and Devils for power, in hopes of a miracle, instead lead to the annihilation of their own cities.
At this time, sending out Elf Teams from the Elf Kingdom to various Human Kingdoms could indeed sweep up the Abyss Demons, but it might also provoke the hostility of the Human Kingdoms.
At this time, obtaining the Church of the Gods’ permission is necessary.
With the Church’s assurance, it could also reassure the Human Kingdoms that these Elf Teams wouldn’t interfere in the disputes of the Human Kingdoms.
Even though this might still be a far-off consideration for Nature’s Wrath, which is still in the process of being established and hasn’t even recruited many members yet, it certainly is entirely necessary.”
“I understand.”
Philip looked at Lis with some admiration; it was clear that Lis had considered everything more thoroughly than he had imagined.
Is this the Human who has been granted the title of Elf Sage by Lord Fenrir herself?
Philip felt slightly moved in his heart, then said to Lis:
“I think I understand your plan, but you have one major problem right now.”
“Is it the lack of members for Nature’s Wrath?”
Lis asked in a soft voice.
“That’s right.”
Philip nodded slightly and leaned back in his chair before continuing:
“Your plan is good, and I’ve heard that you’re currently recruiting people in Jade City, but creating a new force from nothing takes too much time.”
“We don’t have much time!”
Lis nodded, knowing that the reality was indeed as such.
Although he knew there was a long time before the Abyss Blood Battle, and he had enough time to prepare, that was something he could not openly discuss with others.
Moreover, his establishment of Nature’s Wrath, while said to be for gathering information related to the Demon Prince’s plans, was mostly speculative.
Not to mention whether the Abyss Demons related to Abyss Prince Demogorgon would be involved, the mere fact that the demons originated from the 88th level during the Abyss Demon summoning ritual made the probability extremely low.
Compared to that, training a group of warriors adept at combating Abyss Demons through Nature’s Wrath was much more feasible.
For others, the destruction of the Elf Royal Court was a recent event, and a profound sense of crisis and urgency lingered in their hearts.
Even without Lis, they would have taken action.
“That’s why I want to secure more support.”
At this moment, Lis, already in his element, did not notice Philip’s expression and leaned forward earnestly, his gaze fixed on him.
“As a Favored of World Tree Yggdrasil herself, I have the ability to bestow the World Tree Mark on others.”
With that, an emerald-like mark appeared in Lis’s hand.
“This is…”
Philip stared at the World Tree Mark in Lis’s hand, truly astonished.
Just from a simple sensing, Philip understood the significance of this World Tree Mark.
Although it was of no use to him, it was an invaluable treasure to lower-strength Extraordinary Professionals.
“Although I’ve never seen it before, this is indeed very useful.”
“This way, you can train a group of subordinates with sufficient strength much faster.”
Philip nodded, and looking at Lis, he asked:
“So, what kind of support do you still want to obtain?”
“Because I plan to have the members of Nature’s Wrath not only operate in the Elf Forest, but also to move to other places on the Fanor Continent, they cannot be those Elves who inherently reject other races in their mindset.”
“Oh?”
Philip’s face broke into a smile, guessing what Lis was getting at.
“Therefore, I think the members of Nature’s Wrath might be more suitable if they come from Jade City.”
Lis did not continue with hints, but stated his intentions directly.
This also meant that Lis had decided to grant the majority of the World Tree Marks to Jade City, rather than to other forces within the Elf Kingdom.
“How many World Tree Marks can you bestow?”
Philip asked with a smile, his eyes looking much more kindly at Lis.
“Three hundred, and possibly more in the future.”
Lis did not hide anything. Despite having the title of Elf Sage, in the situation where the true state of the Elf Royal Court was temporarily hidden by the Elf Kingdom, he certainly would not be able to recruit sufficient hands in a short time by himself.
He had to get the support of other forces!
And the more open-minded Jade City was his target!
