Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!-Chapter 574 - 205 "Holy Land Powerhouse" Elanna? The All-Out War with the Chosen Ones (10K)_3
Adela was strong, exceptionally so among this group of Elf Rangers, and like the now fallen Bessie Windwalker, she belonged to the Holy Sanctuary Level. Frankly speaking, within this troop of the Elf Ranger Corps, only the two of them had ever reached this rank.
Now, with Bessie Windwalker dead, it was only natural for Adela, her second-in-command, to take over the leadership of the squad.
Under normal circumstances, Adela would never have considered surrendering.

After all, with her, a Holy Sanctuary Level arrowhead, as long as they could break free, they stood a chance to counterattack, provided there were no monsters of the legendary sort present.
Well, that was assuming no one restrained her.
"Adela, you bastard!"
"You've betrayed the faith of the Supreme Forest."
"Adela, you clearly still had a chance to resist!"
...
The Elf Rangers with an intensely strong will to resist cursed loudly.
Well, maybe because they hadn't cursed someone in so long, the Rangers cussed for quite a while without spewing a single dirty word.
Adela Yongyue gave a bitter smile.
"Opportunity? What opportunity? Don't you feel that the aura of that girl over there is very similar to those Chosen by the gods we've met before?"
Her gaze stealthily shifted toward a girl being protected by a group of Rangers.
Sensing Adela's gaze, the girl among the Shadow Wolf Guard dismounted and removed her helmet.
Wine-red hair cascaded down as Elanna, her head marked with intricate patterns, looked at her emotionlessly and said in a low voice:
"Your choice was correct. I cannot guarantee that I won't kill you, so once I act, I will do so with all my might."
Upon seeing Elanna, everyone instinctively sensed the dangerous aura emanating from her. Now, her presence was intense, and simply standing there, she gave off the impression that she could unleash devastating power at any moment.
In the end, it was because of the "Protection of the Holy Knight" that granted Elanna a trait which could change her strength drastically.
[Trait 4: Influenced by an unknown power, you can use all Divine Arts unique to the Lord of Dawn, Losanda, by consuming Totem Power. You can also use up to three of Losanda's Divine Arts per day, free of charge, with a maximum level of LV26 each.]
The ability to use three of Losanda's unique LV26 Divine Arts unconditionally in a short period was enough to elevate Elanna's power to the Holy Sanctuary Level. Moreover, Kael, although unable to recreate the power of his "Life Treasury" through Rune, could still easily craft a "youth version" of the Life Treasury.
The Life Treasury now sealed within Elanna held Totem Powers that Kael had taken a long time to convert, allowing her to temporarily boost her combat power by consuming Totem Power.
Even though Adela Yongyue was a warrior of the Holy Sanctuary Level, she had just stepped into this domain, and there was a considerable gap between her and LV26.
If Elanna were to go all out, her combat power could briefly surge to LV26 level.
She was the core combatant Kael had specially designated to constrain the Elves' movements.
"When did your side of Wandong City come to possess such formidable power?"
Adela's face was filled with disbelief.
Honestly speaking, had she known earlier that this city harbored such terrifying combat prowess, she would definitely not have lingered aimlessly on its outskirts.
What a joke, what they thought was an overwhelmingly superior force crumbled after Wandong City fully unveiled its strength. Although there was still a vast gap in power, the dynamics of the battle had completely changed.
If she had known about the existence of this unexpected force earlier, she would have been more cautious in planning the deployment of the Elf Rangers, rather than opting for the current strategy of attempting to crush the enemy alongside the Dwarves with sheer numbers.
Upon seeing Elanna, the Elf Rangers, although they didn't understand her situation, could guess from her fiery presence that this somewhat youthful girl was likely a being similar to the Chosen.
For a moment, they didn't know whether to continue cursing at Adela or to simply surrender obediently.
After all... in this unjust war, all nations involved were once financial supporters or even direct participants of the Heavenly Ladder Plan.
The reason they went from supporters to perpetrators was not so much to erase the secret of their involvement in the research as it was... for deterrence!
After all, the Church was still the Church. Even after feeling extremely offended, their overall approach to matters tended to lean more towards order.
The Holy Empire of Briania led the charge in this war, and the main nations that supported the plan were dragged into the conflict. Initially, the intentions of the nations were rather straightforward—it was merely a matter of "taking sides."
It was a choice between standing with the gods we so dearly loved, with the Holy Empire of Briania, or with the apostates who wanted to kill the gods, siding with the goblin empire.
