Looking from their position, below is a small basin surrounded by mountains on three sides. These mountains are rare earth mountains in the rocky land. From top to bottom, they are lush and covered with various trees.
In the middle of the small basin, there is a small lake shaped like a teardrop, with rippling waves. The most peculiar thing is that the side of the small lake near the mouth of the valley, on a clear day, can be seen to the bottom at a glance.
On the side closer to the inside, it was covered in clouds and mist, making everything vaguely visible.
If you look carefully, you can see the other half of the small lake. If you look more carefully, there seems to be a castle with a very unique style. Behind the castle, there is an endless green forest.
It's just the huge military camp in the direction of Taniguchi that destroys this harmonious beauty.
"The Curtain? The Curtain leading to the Fairy Wilderness?" Gavin's attention was completely focused on the mist-shrouded side of the small lake.
"Curtain? What is Curtain? Where is the Fairy Wilderness?" The young copper dragon asked curiously. She had never heard of either of these two words.
"Our world is not the only one. Do you know this?"
"I know this. We are in a multiverse. We are on the main material plane, and there are various outer planes and elemental planes."
"In addition to what you mentioned, there are several inseparable planes that are intertwined with the main material plane, the etheric plane, the astral plane, the shadow plane and the Fey Wilds.
Among them, the Shadow Plane and the Fey Wilderness are parallel to our world, and are intertwined and influence each other, just like two negatives on the main material plane, except that one is black and white and the other is in color.
This parallelism is not absolute. The two worlds may be intertwined with each other at a certain point, forming a passage that can be freely entered and exited. This passage between us and the Fairy Wilderness is called the curtain. You were in
When you observe here, do you often see some creatures that are not found in other places?"
Gavin's general explanation made the young copper dragon a little confused. She seemed to understand it, but she seemed not to understand it at all. She did understand the last question, and nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, that's the most important thing here."
What’s interesting is that I have seen many elves here that can teleport, and I have also seen a flying elf that is only one third of the height of a kobold, and a colorful dragon that is only the size of a puppy...
"
"That's basically correct. What you are talking about is not the elves, but the elves' close relatives, the eladrin. The flying elves are either pixies or goblins. As for the puppy-sized dragons, they should be elf dragons.
"The information provided by the young dragon made Gavin basically certain that this place is a curtain leading to the Fairy Wilderness.
Normally, this kind of curtain usually appears deep in dense forests or in inaccessible places in high mountains.
In the rocky land known for its desolation, there is actually a curtain leading to the Fairy Wilderness, which is really beyond Gavin's expectation.
"It's coming out. It seems like someone came out of the fog, from the curtain." Iwensa had sharp eyes. For her, this distance was almost as close as a stone's throw away.
Groups of soldiers broke through the curtain of fog and came out. These soldiers were tall and slender, wearing armor that was very different from humans.
These armors are not so much armor as they are pieces of exquisite art. They are covered with beautiful and mysterious hollow patterns, and the color matching is used to the extreme, making them beautiful but unconventional.
It has to be said that the dragon's vision is really amazing. Gavin can feel this more clearly through the dragon vision glasses that imitate the vision of the dragon.
After the focus of his vision was adjusted, he could clearly see the appearance of those soldiers several kilometers away.
That was indeed an eladrin army.
Yalings and elves are 70% to 80% similar in appearance, but anyone who knows these two races can tell them apart at a glance.
Compared with the elves, the eladrin has a stronger wild aura and fairer skin. Except for their hair, they have basically no body hair, and the magic power exuded from their bodies is stronger. Especially the eladrin nobles, they absorb the infinite magic power in the elven wilderness, and will His temperament has become a new creature that merges with the four seasons.
"What do they want to do? Don't they want to fight with the jackals?" Seeing the following situation, Gavin looked incredulous.
Both eladrin and elves have never been known for their field battles. Jungle guerrilla warfare is what they are best at.
Especially when facing a group of ferocious jackals, who are generally over two meters tall, it is definitely not a wise choice to fight in an open area.
But looking at what the gnolls were doing down there, Gavin frowned a little, let alone the eladrin who were extreme environmental protectors.
The gnoll tribe was hunting creatures and cutting down trees unscrupulously, as if trying to build siege equipment.
Seeing the elegans huddled in the mist curtain taking the initiative to come out, the jackals suddenly became excited, and they all looked up to the sky and roared.
Countless hyenas gathered around them, and together with their masters, they excitedly charged towards the eladrin.
In their eyes, these thin Yalings are no match for them. They can break their necks in one bite.
"put!"
Following the crisp scolding, countless arrows soared into the sky.
Every eladrin is an excellent archer, and even when shooting, their accuracy is frightening.
Many jackals and hyenas fell down in the rush and could never get up again.
A short distance of a hundred meters was enough for the Yalings to drop four waves of arrows.
When the jackals and hyenas were only thirty or forty meters away from the Yaling, the vines under their feet came to life, entangled and waved, and in the blink of an eye, they tied up the jackals and hyenas who rushed in. , it is difficult to move even an inch.
Entanglement!
This is the action of the druids of the eladrin.
Those elegans soldiers retreated while continuing to shoot.
Shooting directly at close range, their accuracy is even higher, and the arrows never leave their eyes, throat and other vital points.
Gavin's previous worries were completely unnecessary. The eladrin's proactive attack was just a bait to lure the gnolls to attack.
In fact, they still played long-range guerrilla tactics, but with the help of druids.
By the time they returned to the edge of the curtain, they had used the same trick for three rounds, and hundreds of jackals had fallen.
The result of the battle was only to injure a few Yaling soldiers with throwing spears. From the beginning to the end, the Yaling soldiers were not even able to get within ten meters.
On the battlefield, new changes suddenly occurred.
Countless screams came from the gnoll camp, and a faint bloody black mist floated out from the camp, passing over the battlefield like a gust of wind.
Wherever the black and red mist passed, the gnolls and hyenas who had fallen stood up again staggeringly, and some of them even wailed shrilly, and shadows were drawn out from the corpses.
Li Li came out, turned into a translucent incorporeal body, and rushed towards the elegans.
Undead magic!
There is a necromancer among the gnolls, or a gnoll demon priest.
The necromancy spell is being cast to wake up the gnolls and get them back into the fight.
The sharp archery skills of the eladrin soldiers are ineffective against the slow-moving gnoll zombies or the translucent ghosts.
The latter, in particular, ignored the entanglement skills of the Eladrin druids and flew all the way into the formation of the Eladrin soldiers, forcing them to throw away their longbows, draw out their sabers, and engage in close combat.
The eladrin that enters the melee fight disappears and appears intermittently, and is elusive. Even ghosts and ghosts cannot give them a fatal blow - this is the elf step unique to the eladrin. They flash back and forth between the material plane and the elf wilderness.
There were gnoll ghosts in front of them disrupting the formation, and there were gnoll zombies stumbling forward firmly behind, and the gnolls and hyena groups on both sides were approaching in a roundabout way.
The overall situation is extremely unfavorable to the Yaling side.
Gavin's eyes flickered slightly, and he turned to the young dragon and said, "Would you like to go down and help them?"
The young copper dragon looked eager to try, but he didn't know how to intervene. "How to help them?"
"Find the gnoll caster and kill him. Without the help of necromancy, these gnolls will not be able to survive." Gavin's eyes fell on the gnoll camp, which was the key to breaking the situation.
"Is there any commission?" Young Long was obsessed with money.
"You guy, do you only care about money? There are kind-hearted people in danger right now, waiting for us to rescue you, but you still only think about money, money, money. Don't you think this kind of life is very boring?
Really?" The person who preached at the young dragon's arrogance was not Gavin, but his spiritual crystal servant Arturia.
She couldn't stand Ivinsa's behavior, which was focused on making money, especially at this important moment when justice should be struck.
"What's wrong with me liking money? What does a little crystal have to do with you? If you have the ability, bite me!" The young dragon bared his teeth and didn't take Artoria's preaching to heart at all. "Anyway, you are very poor.
It’s just a piece of crystal, which can barely be sold for a few gold coins.”
Gavin spread his hands and said: "I definitely won't pay the commission. After all, I don't know any of these people, but I don't know if those elegant spirits will be grateful to us and give us treasures afterwards.
It is said that the Fairy Wilderness has many unique treasures. The fairies there can weave the morning sun into glow cloth, the dusk into star cotton, the rainbow after the rain into colorful silk, and the rainy afternoon into gray rain cloth. I also heard that
It is said that there is a magical music box called the Pixar Music Box. Once opened, it can play beautiful music..."
"Let's go... let's go... what are you waiting for?" the young copper dragon said indignantly, "I hate necromancy the most. All evil beings who cast such spells should be purified."
She is just for justice, definitely not for those wonderful-sounding treasures.
"Wait a minute, follow my orders and don't act recklessly. If the situation goes wrong, we will make a strategic retreat first." Gavin warned carefully, lest Iwensa's enthusiasm would go too far and throw him into a pile of monsters.
"No problem, let's have a big fight!" Iwensa jumped into the air, grabbed Gavin and flew towards the jackal camp.
Being in the air, I had a clear view of the situation below, and I quickly found the target.
It is difficult to miss it, because it is by no means an easy task to cast such a large-scale necromancy spell. You must use a sacrificial circle or an enhanced ritual. There is usually a dark mist, and the sound and light effects are obvious.
Judging from the brutal situation with blood dripping down below and mountains of corpses piled up, the opponent is not a necromancer in a simple sense, but a gnoll demon priest, undead monarch, blood lord, and the first undead maker Orcus
Lord's Demonic Priest.
This Gnoll Demon Priest was even more ferocious than Gavin and the others imagined. The Gnolls who were killed were actually part of the demon sacrifice. The Gnoll zombies and ghosts summoned were all additional side effects. More
The life and soul of the jackal were absorbed by the demon sacrifice circle he presided over. A blood-red vortex was spinning in the middle of the demon sacrifice circle.
Countless ferocious voices were coming from the other side of the blood-red vortex. They were ready to rush into the world and start a killing spree.
