Chapter 732 -465: Show of Force
Jade City, “Nature’s Wrath” headquarters,
Lis and Igley walked ahead, followed by Cecil; the three of them headed towards the Martial Arts Arena together.
A few days ago, representatives from the Elf Council of Jade City had visited Lis to schedule the integration of elves from Jade City into “Nature’s Wrath.”
Today was the day these elves were to report to “Nature’s Wrath.”
After communicating with Philip, a representative of the Elf Council of Jade City, it was decided that some descendants of high-ranking officials and members of the Elf Guard would join.
Lis didn’t mind this, as he was confident in his ability to manage these young elves.
Moreover, as a World Tree Favored, he was not worried about the elves pulling any tricks that might involve their parents.
What was most surprising to Lis was that the Elf Council had also arranged for Igley, the leader of the Jade City Elf Guard and a Gale Sword Saint, to come over.
Although Igley’s Elf Guard was under the jurisdiction of the Jade City Elf Council, he himself was among the high ranks, not much less in status than a council member.
If he truly hadn’t wished to join “Nature’s Wrath,” the Elf Council would not have forced him.
After all, Igley was one of the elves most likely to break through to the Legendary Rank, and he commanded respect from the Elf Council.
Moreover, as the leader of the Elf Guard, joining “Nature’s Wrath” didn’t really benefit him in any practical way.
Clearly, Igley’s decision to join “Nature’s Wrath” was due to his friendship with Lis and his willingness to support him.
As for Igley joining “Nature’s Wrath,” Lis was naturally very supportive and pleased.
Even though there were several Gold Rank Extraordinary Professionals among the elves arranged by Jade City to join “Nature’s Wrath,” none could compare to the Gale Sword Saint before him.
Honestly, the current actual combat strength of “Nature’s Wrath” consisted only of Lis himself, and he couldn’t handle everything on his own.
Most affairs, especially those concerning Elf Forest, could be competently managed by Igley without Lis having to worry.
Regardless, as the leader of the Jade City Elf Guard, Igley helping Lis manage the newly established “Nature’s Wrath” wouldn’t pose any problems.
Even though “Nature’s Wrath” had been established, Lis couldn’t always stay in Elf Forest, and it was time he needed someone to help him manage “Nature’s Wrath” and keep it running smoothly.
Lis had been considering who to assign this task to; while Daphne had the status and capability, she was still only Silver Rank.
With Igley, there was absolutely no problem!
“I wasn’t expecting the Elf Council to send you over, what a surprise.”
Lis said with a smile to Igley standing beside him.
“Sage Lis, this was also something I volunteered for.”
Igley nodded and spoke solemnly.
Although Igley was somewhat surprised when he learned that Lis had been granted the title of Elf Sage by the Goddess,
knowing from the Elf Council that Lis was also a World Tree Favored, the Elf Sage title really didn’t amount to much in comparison.
Cecil, although aware of all this, had never discussed it with her father.
Igley understood, and in communicating with his daughter, he subtly sensed her mixed feelings.
However, Igley didn’t bring it up directly, thinking it didn’t matter who Cecil liked, as long as she was happy.
And indeed, Lis was quite exceptional…
“You have helped me and Cecil a lot; this is nothing.”
Lis looked at Igley, a bit unaccustomed to such a tone from him.
It even bordered on reverence.
While it was fine for him as a World Tree Sage, it was something Lis was still not used to.
“There’s no need for such formality, Lord Igley.”
Lis said with a bitter smile, then glanced at Cecil who followed behind them.
Now, Cecil appeared calm, seemingly having moved on from the sorrow of her mother’s death, yet she seemed somewhat more reserved.
Noticing Lis’s gaze, Cecil looked up and winked at him.
After Lis nodded and turned back, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
Cecil seemed to be recovering well, which comforted him.
“It’s only right…”
Although Igley intended to persist, under Lis’s firm refusal, the two eventually addressed each other by their actual titles.
“Truth be told, I’m truly interested in ‘Nature’s Wrath.'”
Igley stood at the edge of the Martial Arts Arena, looking towards Bella and Mil who were organizing the gathering of all the elves, and said softly:
“The obliteration of the Elf Royal Court, and the death of my beloved, Cecil’s mother, was a great blow and pain for us.”
“‘Nature’s Wrath’ was established with the goal of annihilating Abyss Demons to avoid similar disasters befalling the Elf Royal Court.”
“This is something both Cecil and I hope to achieve.”
Lis nodded seriously and said:
“While I can’t make promises now, I will certainly commit myself to achieve this.”
“The pain brought about by the destruction of the Elf Royal Court was indeed too severe, and nobody wants such an event to happen again.”
“As for Cecil…”
“Don’t worry, Lis.”
Cecil, standing behind, heard Lis’s words tinged with concern and showed a slight smile:
