Chapter 54 -54 (Revised) The Center of the Ancient World, the Angry Sons of the Forest_1
Upon seeing this, the Sons of Forest surrounding the Agricultural Ancient Soul became hesitant, delaying for a while before a Son of Forest dared to present the parchment to Pan God.
Pan God received the parchment, initially expressionless and seemingly uninterested.
This was because the strength of Baron Moro’s territory was too weak.
This place was the border region of the viscounts, located among the mountains, with virtually no resources, incomparable to the prosperous Ambros Basin.
The only value of this land was that it was the only pathway from the west into the Ambros Plains.
The Sons of Forest must intercept some human forces trying to enter Ambros here, so that the Thousand-Year Fire will never have the chance to recover.
However, his eyes suddenly became serious when he saw the first sentence.
“The King of Alsace Kingdom?” Pan God frowned, his eyes reflecting both cunning and worry. “Has the King of Alsace Kingdom personally led the expedition? If so, how many Superior Knights, how many Champion Knights, and how many Dukes does he have in his command? Is he planning a massive Crown War?”
“If that’s the case, we must lay low for now. With our current strength, even if the Thousand-Year Fire is extinguished, we won’t stand a chance against the Alsace Kingdom.”
“No.”
“The Franks, Aleppan people, and Lower Burgundians just waged a war against the Alsace Kingdom. The Alsace Kingdom’s army should not be able to mobilize.”
“The Lower Burgundians are a water tribe, they could engulf Alsace in floods at any moment, while the untrustworthy Franks may well take advantage of the situation to invade Alsace.”
“The people of Aleppa, based in a fragile location, also won’t miss this opportunity. They will seize any chance to expand their squeezed territorial land, for they, like us, are a race whose living space has been squeezed.”
“At this time, the Alsace Kingdom cannot possibly send a large amount of troops across the Alps to enter the Ambros Plains.”
“What exactly is going on?”
Next to the wooden frame where Pan God was sitting stood a Snake Woman. This Snake Woman wore a rudimentary wooden crown on her head, possessing human beauty but with the lower half of a snake’s body.
The Snake Woman Chieftain suddenly said, “Ancient Soul, the person who wrote you this letter should indeed be a claimant to the throne of Alsace.”
“But the people of Alsace have broken their oath to their king.”
“They overthrew the Alsace royal family. The current King of Alsace is a descendant of a minor warlord family.”
“The people of Alsace have lost their own souls.”
“I believe the ‘King of Alsace’ mentioned in this war letter should be the remnant of the Alsace royal family.”
Pan God breathed a sigh of relief; it turns out it was not a direct intervention from the Alsace Kingdom’s army.
But even so, the opponent was a bloodline of the Alsace royal family.
Just this alone made Pan God take the matter seriously.
However, as Pan God continued to read the war letter, he immediately erupted in intense anger.
The opponent actually demanded him to comprehend his own position and actually wanted him, an Ancient Soul, to cherish the lives of his people.
The opponent even thought that the noble and mighty Ancient Soul was the weak one in the face of a mere human.
What a scoundrel!
If this were 2300 years ago, he would have immediately been put to death.
It is just that now, the tribe of the Sons of Forest has fallen from grace and their Ancient Souls have done the same.
When Pan God showed the war letter to the chiefs of the Sons of Forest, they all became furiously angry.
In their views, a small mountainous vassal territory that does not surrender and open its gates is one thing, but to actually dare to threaten an Ancient Soul and the Sons of Forest!
A disgrace!
Arrogant and ignorant!
The Centaur Khan said with a cold humph, “Ignorant one, if this were 2300 years ago, he wouldn’t even have the privilege to speak with an Ancient Soul.”
“He is barely twenty years old, while you, Ancient Soul, have lived for thousands of years.”
“For a green youth to actually converse with us on equal footing, and insult us.”
“Damn it. Are they mocking us, saying that the era of the ‘Son of Forest’ has passed?”
“I will kill him!”
Pan God shook his head, “The era of the ‘Son of Forest’ has temporarily passed, we are now indeed on equal footing for a dialogue.”
“What a nuisance, such people appearing. It seems not all humans defending the city are weak.”

The eyes of Pan God flickered, after he calmed down, suddenly he understood that the people defending the city right now are no ordinary folks.
The enemy has precise vision.
Because the reality is indeed as Ivita stated.
The side that can’t afford to delay, are the ‘Sons of Forest’.
Even if the era of humans under Ambros is declining, the Thousand-Year Fire hasn’t extinguished completely, so now still belongs to the era of humans.”
One has to say, worthy of the bloodline of the Alsace royal family.
Not to be underestimated.
An individual who can garner insults from the enemy, is truly the one receiving the highest praise.”
Otherwise, if the enemy praises you, you should reflect on what you have done that makes the enemy so happy.”
Pan God understands, the curse of the ‘Son of Forest’ right now is because Ivita has truly posed a threat to them.”
Pan God said: “It seems they do not intend to negotiate with us, begin the siege, severing all their contacts with the outside.”
“It’s unfortunate they did not negotiate or fall for our trap. If it weren’t for Ivita causing mischief, perhaps the humans would’ve fallen into our trap by now.”
“But our army holds the numerical advantage, we will find a way to deal with them. I will make him regret giving me a declaration of war, and let him understand the true difference in our standings.”
The Centaur Khan and Snake Woman Chieftain, along with the high priest of the two-headed ogres, the temporary leader chosen by the treants, and the Grand Union Master of the Tauren, all half-kneeled on the ground, expressing their respect to the Agricultural Ancient Soul seated on a wooden frame.”
The Centaur Khan reported, “They are making the human farmers nearby retreat into the castle.”
“I suggest that we can intercept these humans before they enter the castle and slaughter them!”
The leaders of the ‘Son of Forest’ were eager to try.
The hatred between them and humans runs too deep.”
The Agricultural Ancient Soul immediately denied the suggestion, deeming Centaur Khan to be too foolish. “No. My friend, I know your Centaur race is inherently cruel, and your troops are also the main source of our cavalry. However, I initially wanted to acquire the barony peacefully because the Thousand-Year Fire is yet to extinguish.”
“If this land of Ambros is coated with the blood of many humans before the Thousand-Year Fire extinguishes, it would have severe consequences.”
“Before the Thousand-Year Fire fully extinguishes, we can’t induce much killing.”
“Once the Thousand-Year Fire goes out, my power, the power of other Ancient Souls would all peak, and by then, the humans living in this land would easily be destroyed by us.”
The Snake Woman Chieftain raised her head, suddenly questioning. “What if we killed a large number of humans before the Thousand-Year Fire extinguishes? What would happen?”
Pan God shook his head. “We should share intel, you ask me, I should answer. However, I can’t, because I also don’t know what would happen.”
“This information comes from a friend of our allies.”
The Snake Woman Chieftain looked puzzled. “Do we have allies in Ambros?”
“Yes, on the snow mountain located at the northernmost part of Ambros, the Ice Witch and the Snow Monster tribe are also quite dissatisfied with humans.”
Pan God stated: “Under their string pulling, I got a chance to receive a prophecy from the Prophet Base, the center of the ancient world, and the leader of polytheistic faith before The Church, the Olive Wreath Virgin.”
“She conveyed the oracle to me, which is related to the Barony of Moro.”
“Even I, could only obtain a chance for the prophecy from the temple. As you all know, those prophets are so arrogant, proclaiming druid prophets and priest prophecies as mere tricks.”
“The witch’s prophecies, are not much better than nonsensical.”
The Snake Woman Chieftain sneered. “How haughty. But Your Excellency Ancient Soul, indeed the prophecies of the prophets can predict the fate of a nation, and the destiny of the gods.”
“Normal prophecy abilities, simply can’t predict the existence of such immense spiritual beings.”
