Compared with ordinary elf villages, this place is obviously much more lively and noisy.
Since it is adjacent to Tianshui City, the elves near the west coast who want to go to this famous city on the west coast will inevitably pass by Quellins Hut.
As a result, this place has become a beautiful town where travelers can’t help but stop and rest.
Within the elven kingdom, there are few large-scale chambers of commerce like in the human kingdom. All commodity transactions and material exchanges are mostly conducted in small areas in the form of barter. Most elves have long lifespans, and most of their passion is music.
, painting, flowers, gardens and other artistic categories. Their material requirements are very low, and most of the time they pursue a self-sufficient 'perfect' life.
While humans lament that life is too short and are busy pursuing money and power, the elves like to travel around the Jialan Continent as they please after they reach adulthood. Drink some nectar when they are thirsty, pick some wild fruits when they are hungry, and when they are sleepy, they like to travel around the continent.
, just find a branch at random and you can have a good sleep.
As for power, wealth, and personal strength, these have become useless wastes of life, and are excluded from life choices by most elves.
It is under the influence of this atmosphere of enjoying life and pursuing elegance that the pace of life of the elves seems a bit procrastinating and lazy.
Although there have been several warnings on the west coast, most of the attack sites are located on the edge of the coast. Therefore, even if Tianshui City sends a dense number of Pegasus knights and hippogryph archers to patrol the edge of the coast, the elves of Quellins Lodge
He still seemed slow and leisurely, enjoying every day of his life to the fullest.
As night fell, the number of pedestrians going to and from Querlins' hut gradually began to thin out.
Although the Magic Forest is the home of the elves, when night falls, those ferocious monsters will come out to make trouble. So it is not particularly necessary, and the elves don't like to walk in the Magic Forest at night.
Under a low cliff 3 miles away from Querlins' cabin, Billis, dressed in black robe, was discussing something with Mary in a low voice.
After five days of walking day and night, the insect witch Bilisi finally succeeded in leading the insect army to lurk near the Quellins cabin. Once here, the next step depends on the wishes of Blood Queen Mary.
Therefore, after the two sides met here, everyone remained silent and silently followed the instructions of the old fox Wenlier.
"... This place already belongs to the important place of elves near Tianshui City. It would be wishful thinking for us to think about encircling and cleaning up the elves as leisurely as before. Once we stay here for too long, the distance of 200 miles will be too much for the defenders of Tianshui City.
Talking means nothing. So no matter we win or lose, we must fight as fast as possible, and the time to attack Quellins' hut must not exceed 5 hours."
"Five hours is too short! Even if the operation to kill the elves goes smoothly, there will not be much time to clean up the resources inside..." Billis said with a gloomy face.
"Lord Bliss, please don't forget that we are still in danger. Once the exposed position is blocked by the elf mobile troops, it will be very difficult to get rid of them and escape to the edge of the coast. Therefore, we must not stay here for a long time.
Five hours is enough for us to defeat the elf garrison in the town and then plunder it..."
Mary stood aside with a straight face, not paying too much attention to the negotiation between Wenlier and Billis. She looked northeast, frowning, always feeling an indescribable heavy pressure in her heart that made her unable to breathe.
Get angry.
Is this operation exposed? Or will something happen in the next operation? Or is there some big shot nearby?
Suddenly, too many possibilities came to her, which made her feel a little uneasy!
"No need to argue!" Mary said decisively: "We only have 4 hours. Once the 4 hours are up, no matter what the fighting situation is, we will disband immediately... If you are not afraid of death, you can stay and continue the sweep. All the gains will be
It’s yours, I don’t want to share it!”
Of course, Billis did not dare to be stubborn in front of Mary, and silently nodded in agreement.
Since time is tight, there is no need to arrange things slowly and surround first and then attack!
After a few people agreed, they immediately started taking action.
Bliss always carried the insect army with him. He walked to the forest and raised his hands lightly, shouting: "Come out, my people!"
As soon as Bilisi's voice fell, the forest glade with a radius of 100 meters immediately began to boil.
The black soil raised round mounds like waves. As the soil at the top of the mounds cracked and collapsed, large groups of black beetles spurted out from inside, instantly turning the place into a terrifying place.
Sea of Insects.
Billis's black body collapsed instantly, and scattered into hundreds of black insects that merged into the swarm, forming a terrifying torrent that surged crazily towards the Quellins cabin not far away.
Behind the insect swarm, a large number of vampire bats began to advance forward under the cover of the lush tree canopy.
Under the dim moonlight, a terrible scene is about to take place in the forest!
…………
Warren is just an ordinary Elf archer!
It was a great honor that he was selected into the garrison of Quellins Hut and became a trainee elf warrior.
And the task he needs to do every day is to guard the sentry on the edge of the town to prevent forest beasts and monsters from breaking into the town at night.
Night vigil work is actually very boring.
If it weren't for the clever and cute "Cathead" who accompanied him and chatted with him, I'm afraid Warren wouldn't have been able to resist the length and loneliness of the night.
‘Cat Head’ is an owl that grew up with him, and it can also be regarded as his animal companion who accompanies him day and night.
However, there is obviously something unusual today!
As soon as it gets dark, the cat head seems a little anxious and nervous. From time to time it flies into the forest and forms a group, as if it is looking for something. However, when it is dark and the forest is dense, it almost always returns without success.
Just when the bright moon in the sky had just hung on the dome, this animal companion, who had always been calm and composed, was flying around near the sentry post like a man possessed, and then quickly jumped on Hualin's shoulder and neighed loudly.
"The enemy...danger..."
Through a quick exchange, Warren only asked some simple information from Mao Tou's mouth.
He is not one of those druids who can use natural magic to talk directly to animals. Warren's ability to ask these questions relies on his familiarity and understanding with Cat Head.
Are there enemies approaching the guard post?
Warren quickly shouldered his long bow, packed his quiver, slung his short sword, pulled a vine with both hands, and jumped up to the tall tree next to him as lightly as an ape.
After finding a secluded place and covering his body with dense leaves, Warren bent his bow and arrow, and scanned the forest under the night with bated breath.
As a trainee member of the garrison, he would be reprimanded by his superiors for sending out warnings without detecting the enemy's situation. Therefore, Warren could only silently observe the movements around him.
When he calmed down and integrated his mind into the night wind, in addition to the rustling of the forest leaves, he vaguely heard some strange sounds.
Chirping chirping…
It's like the sound of insects gnawing at dead wood, or the sound of insects rubbing their carapace.
But with such a dense noise, could it be that all the nearby bugs are rioting?
Just when he was in a state of shock, Warren finally realized something was wrong.
The earth is moving...
Under his careful inspection, the black earth in the distance seemed to be squirming, rushing over silently like a wave.
The chattering sound is getting louder and louder!
Even the black night couldn't block Warren's keen sight, and his expression finally changed drastically!
This... this is not the earth surging, but... it is a group of black beetles that are too large to count and are advancing.
Like a black ocean, the swarms of insects flooded through the woodland, across the hills, and across the creek, heading towards Quellins Hut at a crazy speed.
drop……
The piercing siren finally sounded.
The feather arrow in Warren's hand shot out with a bang, and instantly submerged into the black sea of insects.
Not sure if he had killed some insects, Warren quickly bent his bow and arrow, preparing for a second attack.
During this gap, a strange sound of flapping wings reached his ears in the canopy of the dense forest.
Warren raised his head in shock, and what he saw was a large, furry mouth that was rapidly expanding.
…………
The moment the piercing siren sounded, in the middle of the noisy Quillins hut, a graceful and vigorous female elf walked out of the tree hall and looked far away in the direction of the siren.
Almost at the same moment, Ailan, the deputy captain of the garrison, panted and ran to the female elf with his quiver in hand.
"It seems to be a siren coming from the southwest! Have you ever sent someone to check?" This shrewd and capable female elf was the captain of the town's defense team. When she saw the deputy captain rushing back, she asked quickly.
As the military chief of the town, she is not as ignorant as ordinary elves.
Things haven't been quiet on the edge of the West Coast for a while!
If the warning signal is really coming from the southwest, then the problem may become very serious.
"People have been sent. Warren is on guard duty tonight in the west, and the sound sounds like a warning from the west guard. Do you think it is necessary to notify all members of the garrison to assemble?"
"Gather!" The female elf captain was still looking into the distance: "I always feel that something bad may happen this night..."
However, before the deputy captain could go down and ring the bronze bell in the center of the village, commotion broke out in the southwest.
This uproar is not unrest in one place, but comprehensive.
Visible to the naked eye, the southwest edge of Quellins Hut was like a dark wind blowing, and everything it touched immediately became crackling and chaotic. Many elves pulled their necks and roared, running away quickly while climbing to higher places.
It seems that some terrible beasts have rushed into the town...
"You call up the people immediately, I'll rush over first to take a look..."
The female elf ignored any hesitation and thought, said a word, jumped off the tall tree, and ran quickly towards the source of the turmoil. (To be continued)
