Broad World - Chapter 681
Chapter 678 Race against time
At midnight, against the bright moonlight and the sky full of stars, Henry and his party had been on their way for six hours without rest, and finally saw the light of the wood elves camp in the distance.
With the help of dim light, they can clearly distinguish the appearance of the exterior wall made of mud and wood. The uneven surface is distributed with traces of being beaten by various weapons. A slightly darkened dark red can be seen everywhere, even though You don’t need to get close to know that it is a gelatinous substance formed after a large amount of plasma is dried, as if telling the tragic battle that happened not long ago, and there are some unrecognizable corpses and bones that have been eaten by wild animals on the ground around.
Obviously, the wood elves only contained the corpses of their own compatriots, while the enemies were randomly abandoned in the wild, allowing them to slowly rot and worry. The heavy loss made them hate the dark elves so much that they were unwilling to do even the most basic post-war burial.
Jasila looked at the corpse that couldn’t be seen, and gasped involuntarily: “His…the gods of nature are on top, there are at least three thousand people dead here!”
“To be precise, there are so many dark elves alone, plus a large number of slaves, at least five or six thousand died.” Henry frowned and gave a more accurate number, and then immediately closed tightly. The upper mouth did not say a word. Although he has lost his sense of smell, the rotten flesh and blood can still make people think of many bad things, even just a glance will cause the stomach to surge.
Aimeng turned pale, clutching his nose and urged: “I think… we’d better leave quickly, the **** stench here is about to suffocate me.”
“Yes, I can’t stand it a bit.” Fid also resisted the urge to vomit.
“Then leave quickly. Otherwise, you might have nightmares when you are resting.” Henry started without hesitation. Quickly led everyone out of the woods exuding rancid smell. Just when they were less than sixty meters away from the earth wall. Suddenly there was a whistling sound in the air, followed by two well-made arrows that were precisely inserted less than an inch in front of the boots, as if to warn the visitors not to take a step closer.
Seeing such excellent archery skills, Apodale couldn’t help whistling and jokingly said: “Wow, a typical elves welcome. I was treated like this when I stole an elven archer’s wine in Candleburg.”
“Hehe, I remember the shooter seemed to have opened two holes in your pants and nailed the whole person to the wall. Then you stood there as a statue for an afternoon until I brought new pants. Save you.” Imoen revealed the truth without mercy. Judging from her sly eyes, it was absolutely intentional.
“Damn! I haven’t been bewitched by you!” Aberdare glared at his childhood playmate and sister in anger.
Seeing that the two were about to make a fuss again, Henry smiled and shook his head: “Well, let’s be quiet, the elves’ patrol is coming soon, don’t let them read the jokes.”
As soon as the voice fell, a group of wood elves in dark green chain mail sprang out from the grass beside them. They had hair between yellow and copper and slightly strong arms. The eyes are glowing with the unique gloomy light of the elves, one by one holding bows and arrows. With two daggers or daggers on his waist, he was dressed as a standard ranger.
One of them, like a leading woman, kept her distance carefully, and then shouted in lingua franca: “Strangers, who are you? It’s best to show our identity, otherwise we will launch an attack.”
“Relax, beautiful lady fairy. I came to General Elhan to find out about the situation. These people are all members of my adventure team.” As Henry lifted his hood to reveal his head, the iconic silver hair The Silver Eye instantly attracted the attention of the Elf Patrol.
The female elf in charge of leading the team approached a little bit, and asked in a slightly excited voice: “Is it…Is it you? Your lord dragon rider?”
Henry smiled reservedly and nodded: “Of course it is me. Is General Elhan here? I have an urgent matter to discuss with him.”
“When… Of course, your Excellency, the general has been looking forward to your coming these days.” The female elf stroked her hair in a flustered manner and gave an elf salute. For some reason, she seemed a little nervous.
“If you don’t mind, can I show us a way? I don’t want to accidentally step on those troublesome traps after entering the camp.” Heng said in a half-joking tone.
“Of course, it’s our honor, please come here.” The female elf made a please gesture and led the way alone. As for the remaining guys, they went into the grass again to hide and continue to perform their guards. Task.
As a very curious girl, Imoen will never let go of any opportunity to ask questions, especially the other is a wood elf who rarely appears in the human world. So she hurriedly went up and blinked, and introduced herself with a hippy smile: “Hello, my name is Imoen, a thief and mage.”
“Uh… hello, my name is Xi Lagui Merianne, a ranger.” Although the female elf was a little dazed by the sudden introduction of herself, she reported her name and profession out of politeness.
“Hehe, then we’ll know each other now. Can I ask you a question?”
The female star elf named Xi Lagui nodded slightly hesitantly: “Of course, as long as it doesn’t involve some secrets.”
“I heard that wood elf cities and villages are all built on trees. Is this true? Isn’t it dangerous, such as suddenly falling down. Also, are you all like monkeys? Pick and pick…” A series of strange questions popped out of Imoen’s mouth in an instant. Some of them even blushed when Apodale heard them. As for Jasila, he covered his face in shame.
It’s so embarrassing!
Xi Lagui was completely stunned and didn’t know how to answer. She could feel that the human girl in front of her was not malicious, but she was in strong curiosity, just like those gnomes who like pranks…
Seeing this, Henry hurriedly pulled Imoen back, and explained with a smile: “Don’t care too much. She just wants to make a joke. Go ahead. I’m still anxious to see General Elhan.”
Xi Lagui’s mind was still stunned, and she nodded subconsciously, and led the crowd quickly through the layers of checkpoints. After a while, she came to the front of a huge tent. After explaining a few words to the guard at the door, she turned around and said to Henry: “Now you can go in. General Elhan is inside, but your friends need to wait outside for a while.”
“No problem.” Henry winked at Apodale and motioned everyone to rest in place for a while. Then he got into the big account without saying a word.
As soon as he stepped inside, he saw Alhan standing in front of the map with a melancholy expression, and he didn’t know what he was thinking. Obviously, Joan Erinikas’ revenge plan has put him under tremendous pressure, and there are even a few more wrinkles on the handsome face that is hardly affected by the years.
“You’re finally back. How’s it going? Is the underground journey going well?” Elhan greeted with a bitter expression on his face. His face is a little dark, and the bags under his eyes are severely swollen. You don’t need to ask to know that he must have not rested for a while.
Although the elves do not need to sleep in theory, they must meditate for more than four hours every day. They call this trance. And use this to restore the daily magic and the magic position, sometimes even dreaming. But the elven general in front of him had obviously not meditated for at least three days. If this continues, you may soon become ill and die due to overwork.
Henry nodded slightly: “Yes, the dark elf city that launched this attack has been completely destroyed, and they can no longer become accomplices of Joan Irenicus.”
“Great, this is the only good news I have heard in the past few days.” Alhan clenched his fist and knocked on the table severely. “Maybe you don’t know yet, Jonares is finally about to do it. My scout discovered that there are two monsters from the Shardtooth Mountain Range and the Star Swirl Mountain Range towards the elven capital-Sodennis, for up to ten days. I can reach the destination, but I don’t have the ability to stop it, because as soon as I enter the outskirts of the Wildass Forest, these **** **** **** will be protected by powerful illusions.”
“So…from now on, we must race against time to get back the Lantern before the monsters can capture the city?” Henry asked solemnly.
He didn’t even pay attention to the number and types of monsters, because it didn’t make any sense. Sodennisla could not resist for too long, maybe one day, maybe two days. In short, after losing the protection of the magic fan lock, after It will be completely conquered in a short time.
Elhan smiled bitterly and rubbed his eyes: “We not only have to race against time, but we also need allies, a lot of allies. Maybe your four dragons are already very powerful, but this is far from enough. In order to be able to Occupy the tree of life completely, and even recruit a large number of evil beasts, demons, golem army, trolls, giants, ogres, and giant dragons. If they don’t have enough power, then even if they go, they will die in vain.”
After hearing such a terrifying number of monsters, Henry not only showed no fear, but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a sneer: “Huh, it’s okay, I have already prepared for allies, including Ascatla’s hottest. The Knights of the Heart, the Guild of Masked Mages, more than a dozen gods of good dragons-the metal dragons of the Bahamut Church, and I will also draw some power from the territory to ensure that it will not be much worse than those monsters.”
“I really didn’t expect… You are still related to the Church of the King of Good Dragon?” Airhan showed an incredible expression on his face.
“No, the reason why these metal dragons are willing to come to help is all because of Joan Erinikas’s behavior that annoyed one of the female silver dragons who had just become a mother.” Henry smiled playfully www. .com I briefly talked about the theft of the Dragon Egg.
After listening to Elhan, he laughed and slapped the table immediately: “Hahahahaha! I didn’t expect that Johnales was so smart and did such a stupid thing. It seems that the goddess of luck is still standing by us. This side.”
Henry stretched out a finger and shook it lightly, and said meaningfully: “No, my friend, we are on the side of destiny. By the way, where are my men and sons?”
“They are resting in the tent behind. You can come and have a look at any time. But before I leave, I want to ask one last question. Did you cause the strong earthquake not long ago?” Alhan suddenly closed He smiled and asked very seriously.
“Yes, that powerful explosion not only buried Uster Nazareth, but also destroyed the incarnation of the spider goddess Rose. I can only tell you so much at the moment. As for the rest, don’t ask. , Because it is likely to bring you endless trouble.” Henry smiled and blinked his left eye, and left the tent directly, leaving Alhan alone in a chair in a daze… (to be continued) …)
