In Tentacle's field of vision, after the Elf Marshal announced the terrible news, the entire meeting hall was boiling.
"What? The outpost defense collapsed?"
"Why so sudden?"
"Wasn't it still... before?"
A group of elves could not hide their shock. The loss of the outpost's defense line meant that the city of Krum would be completely exposed to the enemy, and the city wall would become the last line of defense. In other words, the elves' life-and-death battle was about to begin.
"quiet!"
In the commotion, the great elf Luojia shouted loudly.
His voice rolled like a tidal wave, rolling in endless magic power and causing the hall to return to silence for a moment.
Luo Jia solemnly said: "This news also surprises me. Just last night, the withering of the World Tree suddenly accelerated. It was caught off guard and included some outposts. Many soldiers were eroded, which led to the collapse of the defense line."
"I know that you are surprised, and maybe even scared, but this is destiny. When we evacuated from the old site of the royal court to the corner of the forest, we should have known that the final battle would eventually come!
"
"We have been preparing for war for so long, isn't it just to wait for this day? If this is a fateful battle, then we will eventually step onto the battlefield."
Luojia's voice was firm and powerful, and there was no trace of pessimism or frustration.
The only thing I have is unswerving determination.
At this time, Margaret also stood up. There was no fear on her face, only high-spirited fighting spirit: "Marshal! We have already prepared for this day. Since we cannot avoid it, we have no choice but to fight. Please give the order!"
The other elves also came to their senses and calmed down one after another.
"Marshal, give the order!"
"We're all here!"
"I swear to live and die with Krum!"
they said.
At this time, the atmosphere in the entire hall had changed, like before a storm, filled with depression and some kind of power that was about to burst out.
Even Ellu couldn't help being infected by this atmosphere and clenched her fists under her robe.
She looked at the elf king in the main seat.
Luojia looked calm and said: "Okay! It seems that I don't need to say anything more. According to the last news brought back by the frontline soldiers from the outpost, the black elves will arrive in Krum City tomorrow night.
!In terms of city wall guards..."
"The guards in the southern section are ready for battle!" someone present said.
"The middle section is fine!"
"The northern section is normal!"
The battle elves expressed their opinions one after another, and then the heads of each department made a report. The whole process was full of anger, and only a few people like Elu remained silent.
"Very good, we have made all preparations, all that's left is to wait."
Luojia nodded and then added, "As for now, our biggest problem is that due to the collapse of the outpost, we have lost control of the entire battle situation. We do not know the current distribution of the enemy and their marching speed.
In fact, we don’t even know which part they will attack from! Is there anything you can do about this?"
The hall was silent.
Silent response.
Luojia didn't seem to place any hope on this. He just asked as usual. At this moment, he just sighed lightly and didn't say much.
An elf suddenly said: "It would be great if Elder Shui Jing was still alive."
Hearing this, many generals, including Luojia, expressed their condolences.
"Yes, if the Great Priest Shui Jing is still there, then we don't even need to set up an outpost and can clearly grasp the enemy's movements. It's a pity...sigh."
Another voice sighed.
Speaking of this name, a few eyes finally turned to Ellu at the end of the seat, but all they saw was the moon-white robe on Ellu.
"Then let's do it. As I said before, everyone will inform the news immediately. The whole city will enter a formal state of martial law immediately. The elves will fight with all their strength! Dismissal!"
Luojia, who had gray hair and purple eyes, gave the order.
The meeting dispersed.
Many elves left quickly, and Ellu also poured out with the flow of people. She did not say a word during the entire meeting, and no one cared about her whereabouts. The reason why she was there was just to follow the rules.
Only Margaret noticed that Ellu was in a particularly low mood when she left.
…
…
In a quiet room.
Cheng Lin slowly opened his eyes.
At the end of the meeting, he also released his "tentacles" ability, but at the same time, new information emerged in his mind:
[Mission 2: The city of Krum is about to be attacked, but the elves are suffering from the inability to grasp the enemy's movements. You decide to provide some help in this regard]
[If the mission succeeds, you will receive points as rewards; if the mission fails, you will get nothing]
Cheng Lin: "..."
So, can anyone tell me what the points bonus is?
He has discovered that the deduction program seems to come up with new tricks for him from time to time. For example, the form of task release this time is more diverse.
This is an unexpected novelty.
Cheng Lin smiled and didn't worry too much about the issue of points, but instead examined the task.
"Providing information support to the elves? Helping them understand the enemy's movements? This task seems to be tailor-made for the 'tentacles' supernatural energy body."
Cheng Lin held his chin up and his eyes flashed.
Although the elves also master magic, it is obvious that only the priest they mentioned, who seems to be dead, has the ability to detect the entire defense line.
Normally, Cheng Lin wouldn't be able to do it.
However, now with the Silver Moon Cane, this is possible.
"The experiment just now was not thorough enough. Let's try it again this time."
Cheng Lin leisurely rubbed the exquisite and gorgeous cane, stood up and walked to the window, then quietly closed his eyes. At the same time, the "tentacles" power was activated again.
However, this time Cheng Lin detected 10 "spiritual tentacles" at the same time!
This is the limit of what his brain can currently handle.
Silently, 10 spiritual threads spread out, passed through the eaves, rose straight up, reached an altitude of hundreds of meters, and then scattered in all directions, spreading towards the direction of the World Tree.
The speed of the spiritual tentacles is extremely fast, and it has spread thousands of meters in just the blink of an eye.
In the past, when reaching this distance, his mental power would quickly deplete, which was also Cheng Lin's current detection limit. However, this time, he did not feel any difficulty at all.
The spiritual tentacles continue to extend...
Climb over the city wall, cross the mountains and rivers, pierce the air, and stretch to the infinite horizon.
One thousand meters...
Three thousand meters...
Five thousand meters...
Ten thousand meters...
The mental tentacles drifted farther and farther, and the scenes presented in Cheng Lin's mind increased exponentially. In his field of vision, the world seemed to be cut into 10 pieces, filled with countless scenes, which made Cheng Lin feel slightly dizzy.
Like fragments of the world coming one after another, Cheng Lin seemed to be in a kaleidoscope.
Dazzled.
At the same time, a "real-time dynamic map" stretching for tens of thousands of kilometers also appeared in his mind.
In the boundless, ocean-like forest of elves, there are many small black dots surrounding Krum.
…
A quarter of an hour later.
The anxious Ellu knocked on the door of the sacrificial hall.
"Enter."
Cheng Lin's slightly tired voice sounded, and Ai Lu opened the door and came in. She seemed to be mentally prepared for the "evil god" still here, and was not particularly panicked. She closed the door carefully, and Ai Lu opened her mouth and explained: "
I just went to..."
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by the evil god.
I saw the figure wearing a strange white mask playing with a strange-shaped ornament. He raised his head seemingly casually, looked at her, smiled softly, and said in a mysterious tone: "What happened, I
It’s all known.”
After a pause, Cheng Lin crossed his hands in front of him and said leisurely: "By the way, I have news for you. A group of black elves have sneakily approached Krum and are expected to launch an attack tonight. Ha, so...
…You may not get a good night’s sleep tonight.”
…
ps: It’s July and it’s Monday, please give me a guaranteed ticket!
