Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree
Chapter 1430 - 897: The Time Has Come
The news of the fall of Eternal Mania City spread like a signal.
Once this signal traversed the entire continent, it quickly triggered a series of reactions.
Especially when the players, who had long taken the system tasks and lurked in the Human Kingdom, used projection crystals to broadcast everything that happened in Mania City and began subtly influencing the situation... the Human Kingdom grew livelier.
The players of the "Elf Kingdom," perhaps because of their upbringing, seemed to harbor a special enthusiasm for stirring things up in the Human Empire.
Upon receiving the news, many of the players who had settled down started imitating the methods of players like those from Demacia, fanning the flames in the cities they were hiding in.
Particularly when the players in Mania City efficiently published the "Uprising Strategy" on the "Elf Kingdom" official website the next day, the post quickly reached the top in clicks by restless players.
Soon, even on the video barrage websites, videos of leading or participating in uprisings within the "Elf Kingdom" began appearing in batches.
As for the already successful, grand-scale uprising in Mania City, termed "Great Mania Revolution" by the players, there were even more related videos.
The advancing rebel forces, the noble knights charging for final glory, the smoky twilight of the fallen Royal City, citizens waving flags atop the Parliament Building at dawn...
Similar videos garnered high click rates on the barrage video sites.
Some were filled with nostalgia, some with appreciation, and some with excitement.
But regardless, in the videos of the Great Mania Revolution, in the footage recorded by the players, amidst the waves of swords and magic, smoke and fire, every player watching the videos seemed to feel a sense of historical transformation. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Under the most-clicked video, a comment left by a player personally involved in the Great Mania Revolution reached the top of the comments section:
"Standing in the streets of Mania, listening to the music evolving from tragic to light and uplifting, watching the citizens shouting loud slogans and charging at the noble guards through cannon fire, I suddenly felt so small..."
"At that moment, I felt I was not only changing human history in the ’Elf Kingdom,’ but also witnessing the beginning of a legend..."
"Simultaneously, I suddenly felt a greater respect for those predecessors who cut a bloody path through the storm to create a new world."
"Praise the Goddess! Long live life!"
"The decayed nobles and imperial power will eventually be swept into the dustbin of history along with the fallen Eternal Church; the future belongs to Eve!"
"Let’s plant the flag of the Goddess in every corner of Segis!"
"Dear friend, have a cup of Elf Flower Tea, and we’ll be comrades!"
The game videos popular on Blue Star Network further fueled the players’ enthusiasm.
For a time, from the Fertile Plain to the Southern Mountains, a wave of uprisings surged across the empire’s regions. Enraged citizens, under the guidance of lurking players and Life Church followers, emulated the citizens of Mania, joining forces with local mercenaries and adventurers to arm themselves and seize control of cities, establishing Life Guard units.
There were successes and failures.
However, more often than not, there was overwhelming victory.
Even the citizens themselves were surprised to find that, once they truly stood up, the nobles they once considered untouchable were actually so weak...
The times had changed.
With the resurgence of magic power in the Segis World, extraordinary power was no longer the privilege of the nobility.
And as the increasingly indulgent nobles relied more on mercenaries and adventurers, their own strength had long been diminished.
Immersed in luxury, consumed by jealousy, and entangled in internal conflicts, the nobles’ swords had been rusted by the passage of time.
Coupled with the severe losses suffered by their coalition forces early on, they were now nothing more than a paper tiger, easily defeated.
The once indestructible castles could no longer withstand the fury of the Magic Crystal Cannons, and their glorious charges could no longer crush the people’s torrents.
The ancient Holy Mania Empire seemed to be instantly engulfed in a revolutionary ocean.
Almost overnight, the entire empire was turned upside down.
As time passed, the revolutionary tide that swept across the Holy Mania Empire even began spreading throughout the continent, with similar uprisings appearing in the southern Aries Kingdom, and the eastern duchies and principalities.
Like waves, one after another.
For a moment, it seemed the entire human world of Segis was boiling, with the wildfire of revolution by the Life Church spreading rapidly...
That exaggerated speed, that blazing enthusiasm, left the mythical entities observing the Segis World in secret since the Eternal Church launched the Holy War dumbfounded.
Many ancient gazes inevitably turned towards the Elf Forest with reverence, seemingly never expecting that, after a millennia-long slumber, this Mother of All Gods would possess such an inspiring and commanding power.
Simultaneously, more and more myths became curious about where this Mother of All Gods had conjured these troublemaking Elf Chosen Ones from...
The neutral divine entities cast looks of both reverence and caution toward the Elf Forest, while those myths who opposed Eve in the Holy War collectively fell silent.
