In the afternoon, Spear Valley seemed unusually peaceful and peaceful.
In the dim forest, birds were singing and insects were chirping constantly. A group of colorful pied birds spread their brilliant wings and flew happily between the branches.
Mottled light spots were projected through the gaps between the fine branches and leaves, leaving streaks of shining light pillars in the air. Unfortunately, these light pillars not only failed to illuminate the forest, but made the Spear Valley even more quiet and profound.
The Spear Valley is a long, narrow and concave valley, so named because its shape resembles a spear. In the deepest part of the Spear Valley, there is an underground mine opened by the kobolds, which is rich in high-quality iron ore.
famous.
Seriously speaking, this is also one of the military restricted areas designated by the Elf Kingdom. Except for the Elf transport team and the kobold miners, no other alien races are allowed to approach or break into it.
Normally, kobold mines are too dark and deep, and landslides occur frequently, so other creatures and strange beasts are reluctant to break into them. Therefore, the kobolds' defense seems to be extremely lax.
Visible to the naked eye, in front of the huge black cave entrance, there were only two kobold warriors holding spears in their arms, leaning against the rock wall and taking a nap little by little.
On the towering cliffs on both sides of the Spear Valley, tall ancient trees are still densely covered. The lush canopies stretching like cattail fans block the bright sun in the sky, leaving only a sunny path in the middle line of the valley.
.
However, in this quiet and peaceful place, in the shadow of the crown of a tall ancient tree above the canyon, a female elf covered in exquisite hollow armor shook off her cloak and emerged from her disguise.
"Izak, will that metal monster really come to this desolate place to plunder? There is nothing in the kobold mine below except iron ore. What do those witches want with these iron lumps?" The female elf was anxious.
He flicked his short green hair and turned to look at the ancient tree beside him.
And where the female elf was looking, the wrinkled and cracked bark of the tall ancient tree strangely embossed a human figure, and then transformed into a person wearing grass-green vine clothing, a deer helmet on his head, and holding an oak staff.
male elf.
He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose and a broad mouth, and his green hair is twisted into thick braids and draped over his shoulders. Although his appearance is not handsome, he still has a wild and willful beauty.
It can be seen from the appearance that this is a special profession among forest elves, a druid.
According to professional characteristics, the Druid group is more of a combination of warriors and spellcasters. They possess powerful natural spells. Not only can they cast spells, but they can also undergo wild transformation at any time and transform into a real monster.
Fight enemies with powerful racial abilities and melee strength.
However, most of the objects that druids can choose to transform into are wild monsters of the natural type, and cannot cross-border transformations.
The Druid named Izhak is also a level 2 powerhouse. This time he came from the Central Mountains specifically to stop the metal monster. However, due to time constraints, the Druid Order he brought was not yet complete.
Completely prepared, only 13 of the conventional troops.
But even so, a team of forty druids is a powerful force that cannot be underestimated in any region.
"Before I came, Commander Melina had already told me that we must understand the strength and movements of this enemy this time. The staff has already studied the movements of this enemy and found that they seem to be targeting Jialan.
They came from the mines on the mainland. Along the way, they have successively looted four wild mines. According to the location and flight route where they were last seen, this kobold mine is likely to be their target."
"Since the staff is so sure, why did they only send you here? Where are the Blades of Glory? Where are the Wrath of Nature Marksman troops? Where are the Silver Lightning Flying Column? Where are they?"
No wonder the female elf was so angry.
After all, she is just the guard captain (level 2) of a nearby elf town. She only has about a hundred warriors under her command, most of whom are flower elves and sword dancers. She can advance to the elite level (level 1).
Not even half of them.
Even though all the druids brought by Izak were advanced elites, the total number of elite warriors was only fifty or sixty. With such power to ambush the metal monster and the witch on it, the female elf captain felt very sad in her heart.
Somewhat uneasy.
"There is nothing we can do about this!" Druid Isaac shook his head and said: "The matter is urgent. We have received the exact news. A large number of witch warships have approached the east coast, and the elite troops within the kingdom have been mobilized.
Silvermoon City in the east. The commander is worried that this metal monster is just a bait sent by the opponent to distract our troops. Otherwise, why have they not attacked any elven villages so far? So before figuring out its basic strength, we can quickly
We are the only ones who came here..."
"Then we should at least send the Silver Lightning or Hippogryphs over! The opponent is flying in the sky. If we don't have enough air force, how can we fight them?" The female elf captain was still aggrieved.
"The troops you mentioned have been transferred to the east coast to detect the enemy's movements. It is impossible to travel long distances back for a while. If the enemy really ambush and lands the metal airship, we will find a way to rush up and capture it.
The druids I brought have all advanced, can transform into wind eagles, and also have certain air combat capabilities. If the enemy has any air troops, leave them to us! However, if necessary, we may
I also need your long-range attacks as assistance..."
The female elf captain nodded silently upon hearing this.
There are 20 elf shooters in the garrison she brought. Although they are not as powerful as the advanced marksmen, there is still no problem with auxiliary shooting at medium and close ranges.
The only headache now is not knowing what kind of enemies are on the flying giant ship controlled by the enemy. What's even more troublesome is that they are flying high in the sky and can choose any target to attack at will.
Before the enemy's attack target can be determined, the elves can only defend and defend passively, and cannot effectively concentrate their forces to fight against it.
Like now, on the one hand, the female elf captain has to quietly lurk here waiting for 'possible' enemies, on the other hand, she is wary of Moon Shadow Village 80 miles away. That is her hometown and where she was born and raised.
Homeland, now the whole village's garrison has been transferred here.
just in case……
The female elf captain shook her head, trying hard to get the terrible thoughts out of her mind. She once again pushed aside the lush branches and leaves in front of her eyes, and began to scan the blue sky in the west.
Suddenly, the female elf captain's body trembled, she let go of the branches and leaves, and squeezed her body deeper into the tree crown. Her blue eyes were fixed on the gradually growing black spot in the western sky for a moment.
Not daring to neglect, the female elf captain raised her hands to her mouth and shouted loudly towards the nearby jungle. In the roaring forest sea with rustling leaves, outsiders would only regard such high-frequency shouts as
The natural background noise is ignored, and only natural creatures such as forest elves, druids, and flower elves can parse out the obscure and long-standing call signs.
The enemy is really coming!
And he went straight to this kobold mine.
After receiving the instructions from the female elf captain, all the elf warriors lurking in the dense forests on both sides of the Spear Valley hid their bodies, raised their ears and silently waited for the next battle order.
The female elf captain took a step back, flicked the elf cloak on her body, completely covering her armor and body. With a strange change of light and shadow, her figure was perfectly embedded in the surrounding environment, and then
It's impossible to tell the difference either.
At this time, the level 2 druid named Izhak had already used camouflage to blend himself with the ancient tree. Unless the enemy happened to touch his body, it would be impossible for anyone to glance at his position.
Find him again.
…………
The floating giant ship quickly slid across the sky.
From a distance, Taimo discovered the strange-looking Spear Valley.
Under his command, rich wind element particles were ejected from the bottom of the floating giant ship, and then slowly hovered above the kobold mine.
The terrain of the Valley of Spears is too long and narrow to allow a giant floating ship to land in it.
So standing at the bow of the ship, Greem leaned over to investigate, and waved his hand to signal the giant ship to lower its height as much as possible.
As a result, under the spray of hurricane-like wind particles, the floating giant ship began to slowly descend along the center line of Spear Valley, and soon it was level with the rock cliffs on both sides. At this time, the rock cliffs
The dense crowns of the tall ancient trees stretched out above and hung on the hull of the floating giant ship, making harsh friction and breaking sounds.
The two kobold warriors guarding the entrance of the mine had already been awakened. Looking at the huge beast that was pressing down on them, the two of them threw away their spears and fled into the mine with strange barks.
There was a dull thud.
The bottom of the floating giant ship touched the rock cliff, and the entire ship trembled and finally stopped.
At this time, the ancient trees on both sides of the cliff clustered around the giant ship, wrapping it tightly like a swaddling bag wrapping a baby.
At this time, a team of ten people emerged from the inner cabin of the floating giant ship.
Two goblin technicians and eight archers with magical weapons.
On the deck of the giant ship, apart from the half-elf Taimo, there were only Grim, Bliss and two witches of fate who ran out to watch the fun.
Coming to such a beautiful foreign land for the first time, these two young witches, who had never traveled far, seemed extremely excited and excited. They were already planning to go to the nearby mountains and forests together.
In such strange mountains and rivers, you might be able to find some rare plant specimens that are not found in the Wizarding World. Taking such things back to the Wizarding World may yield a lot of magic crystals.
However, just as Greem was commanding the ten-man exploration team and preparing to parachute down, the expressions of the two witches who walked to the edge of the ship suddenly changed and they loudly shouted "enemy attack".
At this time, the sound of arrows piercing the air suddenly came from the sky.
A large swarm of enchanted arrows shining with magical luster rained down on Greem and the others... (To be continued)
