Under the attack of the ants, the number of people in the center became fewer and fewer, and finally only dozens of people were left to guard the commander.

A large number of sixth-level rock-armored soldier ants swarmed over and soon completely submerged them.

With the death of the supreme commander, the morale of the imperial soldiers attacking Kavana Oasis instantly dropped to freezing point.

I have lost my home, why am I still fighting?
On the battlefield, the soldiers of the Hala Empire showed signs of collapse, which quickly expanded and soon spread to the entire army.

A large number of soldiers joined the fleeing tide, and some even dropped their weapons in order to run faster.

There is a phrase in war called "a crushing defeat", which describes the current scene.

A few people are still struggling to hold on, but unfortunately their numbers are too small to make any waves in this disastrous situation.

Seeing this, people in Kavana Oasis finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, they began to wonder which force was willing to come to the rescue when seeing injustice.

After all, in the entire desert, apart from the Hala Empire and them, the remaining forces are just some insignificant sand bandits. How could they possibly repel the army of the Hala Empire?

However, despite their curiosity, the elves did not lose their vigilance.

The warriors chased for a while, and when they were near the edge of the oasis, they gave up the pursuit and only sent out the Silver Pegasus Archers to continue the pursuit.

In fact, the Silver Pegasus Knights should belong to the melee troops, but there are too few Silver Pegasus left in the oasis, only about 500.

One less horse means one less, and they are reluctant to throw them into close combat where the loss is greater.

The defeated soldiers of the Hala Empire were soon intercepted by the ant colony. They had no intention of fighting and naturally could not be the opponent of the ferocious ant colony.

After one round of charge, the soldiers cried for their parents and fled in all directions.

Because there were too many of them, even if the summoned creatures used all their strength, only less than half of them were left.

When the reinforcements from the Hala Empire rushed to the battlefield, the battle was almost over.

The ant colony chased the fleeing soldiers and almost broke up their army formation. If they had not reacted quickly, they would have fled with the fleeing soldiers.

In this situation, the reinforcements, exhausted from the long march, were powerless to turn the tide and could only slowly gather the defeated troops from a distance on the periphery.

From the defeated soldiers, they also learned the truth about the army's failure, that a third party force intervened.

Third party forces?
Is there a third party force in the desert?

When asked about the identity of the third-party force, the defeated soldiers had different opinions. Some said it was desert army ants, some said it was a wolf pack, and some even said it was the undead.

After a round of questioning, the doubts in the reinforcements' hearts were not only not resolved, but became even stronger.

But in the end, they found it difficult to get the answer.

In this case, it is naturally impossible to guess that these summoned creatures came from the defense tower or from the "deserter" Mo Yu.

I wonder if the lost commander would be so angry that he would come back to life if he knew that all these changes were caused by that insignificant deserter on the battlefield.

At this time, Mo Yu had already entered the oasis at the invitation of the envoy from Kavana Oasis.

He only brought a few people including Haken with him, and the defense tower was left in place.

The army of summoned creatures naturally did not disappear. They quietly guarded outside the Kavana Oasis, serving both as a deterrent and as a further bargaining chip in the negotiations.

Under the introduction of the messenger, Mo Yu soon arrived at the core of Kavana Oasis, a tree city with a natural style.

Under the tree, more than a dozen elves wearing silver light armor were waiting there, their faces were stained with blood, and they had obviously just retreated from the battlefield.

"Dear summoner friend, it's a pleasure to meet you. Welcome to Kavana Oasis." The leading blond elf walked up with a warm smile on his face.

Dear summoner friend?

Mo Yu was stunned and couldn't react for a moment. He almost started to immerse himself in the League of Legends.

He soon realized that the other party must have realized that the ant colony and the wolf pack were creatures summoned by him.

Mo Yu had a request to make, so he naturally smiled politely.

"Thank you for your invitation. I have been looking forward to visiting Kavana Oasis."

"Welcome, welcome. But before you visit, as the Elf King, please allow me to express my sincere gratitude for your help on behalf of my people!"

The blond elf in the lead saluted very seriously, and behind him, many elves also saluted.

It's not just the dozen or so elves beside him, but all the elves around him are like this.

No matter what Mo Yu's purpose was, the war ended because of the other party, and more tribesmen survived in the oasis.

They must acknowledge this fact.

Mo Yu was shocked by the scene, but he didn't show it.

However, as the benefactor who pulled Kavana Oasis out of the abyss, he deserved this gift.

But Mo Yu still pretended to be overwhelmed, quickly raised his hands, asked everyone to stand up, and said: "No, you really don't have to do this. The Hala Empire is full of evil and crimes, and this is what I should do."

However, he was muttering in his heart, I've helped you so much, just take out all the good stuff for me to choose.

My requirements are not high. We just want a dragon eagle's nest and leave.

Unfortunately, the Elf King did not ask for any reward.

They are all decent people, and it is vulgar to talk about money.

The elves enthusiastically invited Mo Yu to visit the Tree City. He couldn't refuse for a moment and thought it would be a good idea to take a visit so that he could learn from the natural elves when he was hatched.

The natural elves in the territory are a completely new race of elves that have just been hatched.

Although they share the same origin as the famous natural elves in history, these natural elves have not inherited any of their original heritage. There is no technological heritage, no heritage of combat arms, just a blank sheet of paper, and everything needs to be explored and evolved from scratch.

Of course, there are no shortcuts.

The elves in the Kavana Oasis before us are none other than the natural elves.

Although I don't know why they were exiled here, seeing that they summoned tree giants and built tree cities... they should have retained some of the technology of the nature elves.

Therefore, Mo Yu wondered if he could bring some books or materials back from here.

It would even be best if we could bring some nature elves back with us.

Books are more cost-effective than ready-made teachers.

These things are no less important than obtaining the dragon eagle's nest.

And it is best to achieve it through peaceful negotiations. Although war can also use the Gate of War to abduct some natural elves, after all, a forced melon can quench thirst but it is not sweet.

Mo Yu still hopes to get the other party's sincere help.

Naturally, he would not reveal these thoughts now. He was just planning secretly and waiting for the right opportunity.

While thinking, I visited the elves' tree city.

It has to be said that the elves' architectural style is full of artistic atmosphere. Small tree houses are hung on the branches without destroying the original structure of the giant trees.

The two seem to be integrated into one, very harmonious.

Perhaps, this is the most standard way to live in harmony with nature.

In comparison, the dwarven walls that were once so common in the territory now looked a bit ugly.

"Huahua", the wind blew through the branches above my head, and a leaf as big as a palm swayed a few times and then floated down.

When the elf leading the way saw this scene, a hint of worry flashed across his eyes.

He tried only to cover it up, but Mo Yu saw it clearly.

"Ok?"

Mo Yu, who had been observing secretly, seemed to be thinking about something.

I'm afraid this tree city is beginning to show signs of withering!

What he saw along the way gradually confirmed his idea.

Sure enough, the Tree City only looks vibrant on the surface, but in fact, it is gradually withering and dying.

Although this process is very slow, if we can find a spiritual object, such as a fountain of life, there may still be a chance of survival.

But where is this? It’s a desert!
In the desert, material resources are scarce, there are only a few inches of fertile soil, let alone the fountain of life.

Therefore, even if the Hala Empire did not attack the Kavana Oasis, it would only take one or two years for the oasis to gradually disappear.

Unfortunately, the king of the Hala Empire was too impatient and eager to quickly unify the land.

In fact, what Mo Yu didn’t know was that the Hala Empire was not unaware of this.

However, the king was old and his time was running out, and he desperately wanted to complete this feat before he fell.

"Perhaps, if there is a chance and it involves the survival of the race, the proud elves might be able to bow their heads." Mo Yu thought secretly in his heart.

The withering of the Tree City is the worst news for the elves.

But for Mo Yu, an outsider, this was news that couldn't be better.

He can only get something if the other party asks for something.

Let me ask you, if I help you lead 50 tribesmen out of the desert and open up a new world elsewhere, will you pay me?

Space teleportation is very expensive, you have to pay some travel expenses!
And even if we take a step back, it is not impossible for us to help you defeat the Desert Empire.

Mo Yu sorted out his thoughts and calmed down.

It’s not him who is anxious now, but the other party.

His task is to consider how to gain more benefits from the other party.

With such thoughts in mind, the scenery becomes boring.

The Elf King did not let Mo Yu wait too long. After walking around for less than an hour, an elf came over and invited him to go to the Elf King.

However, the other party still asked for his opinion and only spoke after repeatedly confirming that Mo Yu would not continue the visit.

When Mo Yu went to the Elf King, Haken and others did not receive this treatment and were led aside.

However, this was the peak of their slave career.

Visiting the elves’ tree city is such a classy thing, I can brag about it for the rest of my life.

Following the road paved with thick tree trunks, Mo Yu soon arrived at the tree house where the Elf King lived.

The place where the Elf King lives is located in the middle of the entire Tree City, and it does not look much more luxurious than that of other elves.

The leading elf knocked on the door, and a voice saying "Come in" came from inside.

Pushing the door open, Mo Yu saw the blond Elf King sitting casually. Next to him was an old elf, exuding an ancient and distant aura.

Seeing Mo Yu coming in, they stood up to welcome him.

The elf who led the way closed the door and left. As the wooden door creaked shut, Mo Yu's spirits lifted. He knew the time had come! (End of this chapter)
