Chapter 51 The Great War (1) (4k+ small two in one)
Deep in the forest.
I don’t know when a faint mist arose,
In the already dark forest, the field of vision became increasingly narrow.
On the side of a stretch of rolling hills.
Wood elves are gathering in large numbers.
There are also powerful giant deer companions, and a small group of holy silver Pegasus companions.
An eagle suddenly descended from the sky. When it was about to land, a flash of inspiration appeared on its body, and it turned into a wood elf.
"Clan leader, something happened at Dawn Stronghold!"
With an anxious and sad look on his face, the wood elf suppressed his voice and presented a secret letter directly to Brandy.
Dawn Stronghold!
Brandy couldn't help but stop breathing for a moment.
The Dawn Stronghold is a stronghold that guards the passage to the Underdark.
In order to snipe the coalition forces here and eliminate the dragon fly army that threatened the most, he had no choice but to mobilize almost all the spellcasters over there.
I originally thought that as long as the strategy here could be completed, I would let them return immediately, but looking at it now...
After all, she suppressed the grief in her heart and the faint self-blame, and Brandy opened the secret message expressionlessly.
Dugas and Dubizlant teamed up to summon dozens of shadow demons and nearly ten waxmelt demons in the Dawn Stronghold. The Dawn Stronghold was almost bloodbathed.
The dirty spider queen priest even used the blood of the people in the stronghold to complete the evil sacrifice to the spider queen and summoned several demon-hunting spiders!
A mouthful of blood rushed from Brandy's chest directly to her throat.
"Drow!"
The murderous intention in my heart cannot be suppressed at all!
"Clan leader, the overall situation is the most important thing!"
Beside him, several elders had also seen the secret message, and their eyes couldn't help but darken.
But there was another woman who still looked young, but a trace of fish tail lines appeared in the corners of her eyes. She also lowered her voice and said: "What happened at Dawn Stronghold has already happened, and we can't undo it.
The only thing we can do now, and what we must do, is to defeat this side as soon as possible, and then we can return with support! We must not lose here!"
"I know it!" Brandy breathed out lightly, her eyes slightly cold.
He naturally knows which of the two sides is the greater threat.
After all, the drow have become an underground race. Even if the two cities join forces and reach the surface, they will never stay for a long time.
But it's different here with Green Dragon.
His hunch over the years was correct, the Green Dragon has always been greedy towards this place.
The troops were sent out this time to completely invade the forest!
And for them, who have the advantage of mobility, the threat of the green dragon and dragon fly army is greater than any other army in this forest.
Only by solving them can they rely on the advantages of the forest and defeat the green dragon army and the dark elves in constant guerrilla attacks.
"Let everyone be prepared. Once the enemy enters the preparation circle, immediately act according to the plan. This battle will be won without defeat!"
Under Brandy's order, everyone immediately made arrangements.
Something has happened over at Liming Stronghold, and they have no way out!
"Elper, Antonia, I have to thank you even more this time."
Brandy turned to one side again, with a look of pleading in her eyes.
On one side, there are two taller elves with long silver hair, amber eyes, and also pointed ears.
They both wore white robes and dark blue cloaks.
Even compared to the wood elves, they have a more obvious aloof temperament.
This is the gray elf!
Even among the high elves, they are known for being more intelligent, more knowledgeable, and more withdrawn and arrogant.
"It's okay. I just want to see how the five-color dragon here is different from the one on the Sky Spine." Elpel responded calmly.
The other person just nodded slightly.
Even though Brandy was a legendary level expert, they did not show any extra respect.
…
The other side of this time.
The army was pressing in in an orderly manner.
With heavy armored cavalry as shields, and heavily armored warriors on both sides, such as archers and spellcasters, they sit firmly in the center of the army.
As for the rogues, especially the kobold rogues, a considerable part of them had already dispersed.
In the forest, fog gradually began to linger. Although it did not affect the march, it was also compressing the field of vision.
There is some distance between them and the army.
"This fog is not right. The layout over there should be right in front." Start's voice.
A level 16 mage, a level 2 shadow follower, what is natural fog and what is caused by magic interference, obviously cannot be hidden from her senses.
"It doesn't matter. General Garp has already prepared."
Isaac's voice was calm.
With the continuous effect of true seeing, he even discovered that there was a problem with the fog here earlier than the shadow priest.
However, he didn't pay too much attention.
It's not that I'm looking down on the wood elves, but...
Deep in the eyes, there is a ray of strange color.
He single-handedly promoted the war and also mobilized the human coalition forces. This was not just for the human coalition forces to "hang around".
If the human alliance didn't shed more blood...how could everyone hate the wood elves so much?
Human beings, after all, dominate the current world of Ashan.
Locking these humans on the opposite side of the elves... will make many things in the future easier to operate.
Isaac's eyes flashed, and then he said: "Indeed, we can inform Appleton's side."
The wood elves' ambush is here, and Brandy must be there too.
The human alliance needs more bloodshed so that they can have a deeper sense of brotherhood.
But Brandy absolutely cannot stay!
Under the shadow, like a blurry black shadow, Stat nodded slightly.
Then a magical light flashed on her body.
…
"Clan leader, all the enemies have entered the preparation circle. The green dragon and its dragon fly army are walking on the far right."
No one from the tribe went to investigate.
These days, Brandy has discovered that, unless he is an elite team, his people cannot have the upper hand against the kobolds.
If you send tribesmen to scout, they will most likely be eaten by the scouts from the opposite side.
In the foggy area, he arranged for the mage to set up a secret eye.
"hold on!"
Wait until they go deeper!
Brandy crossed her arms across her chest, closed her eyes, and seemed to be calmly adjusting her state secretly.
Win without defeat!
Must win!
On the entire side of the hill, even the animal companions could feel the heavy atmosphere, and there was no sound at all.
After a while.
Brandy's eyes suddenly opened. She had a strong momentum and a stronger belief. She didn't need to roar, but her voice revealed absolute determination: "Children, for the sake of our home, follow me and kill the enemy!"
A giant deer appeared next to him, and he strode up to mount it, longbow in hand.
Behind, in neat movements, two to three thousand wood elves also climbed onto the back of the giant deer.
The sound of hoofbeats is like rain, coming in dense numbers.
The silver pegasus didn't move at all, and rested quietly on the spot.
There are more wood elves.
A group of them seemed to be spell casters, led by several elders, cooperating with the two gray elves.
Some of the druids who were employed closed their eyes, as if they were communicating with the forest.
There are also many rangers who cannot participate in the guerrilla action because their companions are not giant deer, but they are scattered around, keeping a vigilant mind and on guard.
…
"Beep beep!! Beep beep!!"
There were intensive light earthquakes coming from the ground, and the loyal servant who was investigating immediately noticed the alarm situation.
The constant shrill whistle immediately broke the silence of the forest.
Immediately, they either climbed up a tree or hid on the spot. Although the loyal servants were not afraid of death, they would never defeat the enemy with a small number. They still wanted to remain useful and make more contributions to the great master.
But at this moment, long arrows were shot.
Even if each loyal servant is hiding and moving quickly, he is still being shot.
The Wood Elf guerrilla army has almost assembled the most elite marksmen of the Wood Elf clan, and is personally led by Brandy. There are very few people within his field of vision who can hide from him!
"Former army prepares!"
The loyal servants' police posts and the coalition forces that had been pressing in in an orderly manner immediately entered a state of combat readiness.
Although everyone is not from the same place, it is difficult to say how much order and cooperation there is, but no one will joke with their own lives when it comes to the rumored wood elves.
General Karp gave an order.
Pressing at the front, the two most elite and most experienced heavily armored knights calmly set up their tower shields and mounted their spears.
The heavily armored warriors around him were also on guard.
The caster adds "protective arrows" that have been prepared for himself or some partners.
The sound of hooves came like rain.
However, the fog interfered with the vision, and even the front army could not see the wood elf for a while.
"stop!"
A voice!
Just stop when you say stop, and the sound of hoofbeats disappears in an instant.
"shoot!"
Still the same voice!
There was a dense sound of breaking through the air, and waves of long arrows fell like rain.
Casualties appeared immediately in the coalition camp, with screams and screams, and even many heavily armored warriors were shot and wounded.
Only the heavily armored knights with the most elite equipment, who are at the forefront and come from the two nobles of Tethyr and who are also members of the Natural Green Municipal Management Committee, can survive such a rain of arrows without any major attacks.
damage.
"Forward army, charge!"
General Garp is the leader of one of the knights.
With an order, the knights, together with Taimon's Crimson Flame Knights, immediately vibrated like thunder with the heavy hooves of the beast-turned-pony.
The two knights together are about a thousand in size.
But at this moment, when one charges, even if he cannot charge at full speed due to the forest environment, the momentum is already much heavier than the hoofbeats of the wood elves on the opposite side!
"retreat!"
It's that voice again.
There is no direct collision with the Heavy Armor Knights at all.
One side just charged, and the other side immediately retreated.
During the retreat, waves of arrows rained down, suppressing and shooting continued.
"Give the signal!"
General Karp's expression remained unchanged.
This is where the wood elf's expertise lies, and he has been prepared for it.
One after another, flaming arrows shot up into the sky with a shrill sound.
Ahead, the charging heavily armored knights stopped one after another and continued to defend where they were.
Behind, the large army spread out in an arc and accelerated their marching speed.
separated by some distance.
Isaac's eyes raised slightly.
According to the agreement between him and General Garp, it was time to try out the opponent's arrangement, and at the same time, lay down cover for the other side.
"I'll go meet that person first. You and April Morton will act accordingly."
Nodding towards Stat, Isaac let out a long roar and rose directly into the sky. He was greedily sucking the sap, and a cloud of flies also rose into the sky.
Shield! Mage Armor! Stoneskin! Protection from arrows!
With the blessing of the state, pieces of magical aura are shining on the green dragon.
Amidst the buzzing sound that shook the sky, green clouds pressed overhead, and the huge army rushed towards the target.
"Back! Back! Back!"
I was with the Heavy Armor Knights, maintaining a shooting game where you advance and I retreat, and I stop when you stop. With the power of Bronte and a few powerful rangers, even the heavy armor and tower shields there are fine.
The finished product cannot be kept intact.
Suddenly, Brandy's ears twitched.
His eyes suddenly became serious, and without hesitation, he took everyone with him and drove the deer back.
But even a giant deer cannot compare with the speed of a dragonfly.
In just a moment, in the sky behind, the green dragon, and the cloud of insects that looked countless times more terrifying than the green dragon appeared!
"preparation!"
It was still a long bow, Brandy's eyes narrowed, and she fixed her position on the green dragon.
On top of the giant deer, all the wood elves and longbows are also preparing.
"Let me see, apart from this fog, what else have you prepared?"
Isaac's eyes also narrowed slightly.
A soft whistle.
The surroundings were as dense as clouds a moment ago, but at this moment, dragon flies all over the sky spread out, swept across, and pressed down towards the forest in waves.
"rise!"
further afield.
Observation of the Mystical Eye.
Two gray elves, holding hands with dozens or hundreds of spellcasters, performed magic guided by divine power with the common belief in the father of all elves.
Within the vast forest, there was just a light fog a moment ago, but now a sea of thick fog has formed.
Pieces of spiritual light continued to circulate, and the Julu guerrilla army led by Bronte split into two identical teams.
The surrounding giant trees also seemed to be given life. Their branches were swimming like pythons, and they were constantly entangled with each other, as if they were about to be closed by the sky.
"shoot!"
The giant deer stopped at the same time.
Waves of arrows shot into the air angrily.
In the sky, covered by thick fog, and even more tempted by illusions, the dragon flies that rushed into the forest suddenly became a mess, and were actually shot down in pieces.
And because they were scattered and suppressed in waves, more dragon flies were directly blocked in the sky by the giant trees that resembled life.
Above the sky, another tornado-like whirlwind was sweeping across, with arcs of electricity flashing in it, and pieces of dragon flies were being swallowed alive.
"The target is not the coalition forces!"
"It's my children!"
Flying behind slowly and unhurriedly, Isaac, who had always been the one to hold the charge while the children charged, roughly knew the opponent's intention.
The people on the other side also know what is the biggest threat to them in this forest!
but……
Just this little thing is enough to deal with his children, but it's not enough!
His eyes narrowed slightly.
With a roar, his huge body crashed down.
With the blessing of Stoneskin, those tangled branches couldn't even be scratched, and were directly broken and smashed.
It was a collision all the way, and in the blink of an eye, a large area of tree shade was directly knocked away.
Below, hearing his roar, the children who were originally in a mess rose into the air one after another.
They merged into the army above, and followed the green dragon daddy passing by in the sky.
In the blink of an eye, the tornado whirlwind and the Julu guerrilla army below were directly left behind.
You lay out your plans, and it doesn’t matter how many of them you have left unfulfilled. I won’t follow your path!
Below, Brandy's eyes suddenly darkened.
Further back, some spellcasters who were monitoring with mystical eyes also felt their hearts sinking.
