In the jungle not far from Pine Valley, a group of dark elves were quickly retreating towards the place they had just arrived.
On the other side of the road dozens of meters away from them, some gray dwarves also quickly retreated towards the entrance and exit of another tunnel.
"Retreat, retreat quickly!" The commander of the dark elves, who was also a priest of the spider goddess Rose, shouted loudly as he looked at his group of panting priests.
It's just that the priests under her looked so weak that they needed the support of male dark elves to barely move on the paths in the forest.
Under normal circumstances, although elven spellcasters are much weaker than those who are purely melee-fighting professionals, due to racial advantages, as long as they are not too old or physically disabled, their overall quality is no better than that of ordinary warriors.
How much difference.
Not to mention that all these dark elf spellcasters are female clergy, and they naturally use a lot of extraordinary drugs to strengthen their bodies. Even after they enter old age, they can easily run 5km or something.
The reason why they are being carried away like dead dogs is very simple. That is because after the previous sneak attack by the elite troops of the wilderness race failed, the dark elves, who realized that the offensive on Pine Valley was doomed to fail, gave the order to use it before
A mobile altar was prepared and cast blood burning and rage spells on other wilderness races.
Then they took advantage of the group of wilderness races' crazy attack on the Pine Valley position to quickly break away from the front line, and then fled desperately towards the tunnel entrance.
Their approach can also be regarded as a traditional skill of the dark elves. For this group of evil black men, once they are defeated, it is inevitable to weaken their previous comrades as much as possible.
This can ensure that they can maintain their absolute advantage over the surrounding wilderness races even after they become weak due to defeat.
As for the gray dwarves, they did not conspire with the dark elves to do this, but because of their super strong magic resistance, this kind of large-scale magic is naturally ineffective against the gray dwarves.
After discovering what their old rival had done, the gray dwarves' experience in fighting each other for a long time allowed the gray dwarves to immediately know what this group of dark elves wanted to do, and then quickly formed a defensive formation to maintain their attack on the dark elves.
Be vigilant, and then evacuate the battle line as quickly as possible.
"Leave those gray dwarves alone." Watching the dark elf warriors holding the female priests away while warily staring in the direction of the gray dwarves, the leading dark elf priest said loudly.
Because she found that the vigilance of the dark elf warriors under her had seriously affected their running speed.
The reason why she is so impatient is because she knows that those guys whose brains have gone completely crazy under the influence of magic cannot cause much damage to the fully defended Pine Valley, or even delay it for too long.
In this case, they had to enter the tunnel as quickly as possible to escape from the pursuit of the Pine Valley defenders.
After hearing the direct order from the leading dark elf priest, the dark elf warriors simply lifted up the priests around them. Then they followed their leader and retreated towards the planned evacuation point as quickly as possible.
But just as they were running desperately in the jungle, the dark elf priest who was leading the way suddenly noticed that the surrounding jungle suddenly became quiet.
"Alert -" After realizing that something was wrong around him, the priest immediately raised a hand to signal everyone to stop.
After receiving the order, the group of dark elves who had been running desperately just stopped immediately. Then the dark elf warriors drew their weapons and surrounded the almost powerless priest.
"What happened?" After the dark elves formed a defensive formation, a dark elf priest asked.
"Shouldn't we enter the tunnel quickly now? Why did we stop at this time? What if the bugs on the ground catch up?"
"Shut up -" the leading dark elf priest whispered, while vigilantly raising the wand in his hand and carefully looking at the surrounding situation.
"Just now we have been able to hear the footsteps of those gray-skinned dwarves that can wake up a sleeping dragon, but now you listen to your surroundings."
After what she said, the dark elves who calmed down also realized that something was wrong. With their long ears, their hearing was much stronger than that of humans, but now they discovered that not only the gray dwarves were hearing the clanking of their armors,
The thumping sound of their heavy combat boots on the ground has disappeared, and even the sounds of certain animal activities that should have been around have disappeared.
"Maybe - maybe the war scared those animals away." A dark elf priest said, but the trembling in her voice showed that her heart was not as calm as she showed.
Others present did not answer her words, because this place was separated from the battlefield by several hills, and the shouts of death on the battlefield had become very weak. So in theory, it is impossible to scare away all the animals in this place.
.
Not to mention that they had heard a lot of the squeaking sounds of the flame-burned vampire bats flying over the treetops on the road before, but now, all such sounds have disappeared. Only a few are left.
The sound of tree trunks swaying and leaves scraping against each other as the wind blows through the woods.
"Let's keep going, don't scare yourself..." said a dark elf priest who didn't notice anything after a pause of more than ten seconds.
"If we waste too much time here, I think the valley's guard forces will be able to spare some of their elite manpower to hunt us down."
The dark elves are not a noble race that likes to sacrifice themselves for others, especially for these priests of Rose. For example, when they came here before, there were more than 170 dark elves, but now there are less than 40 here.
.
The reason for this is because they left the dark elves who were not the core family in the dungeon behind before escaping, pretending to be the headquarters of the wilderness race to attract the attention of the Pine Valley defenders.
Therefore, this group of dark elves who ran away after realizing that the situation was not good on the battle line were now naturally focused on escaping back to the tunnel, so they immediately requested to continue their escape plan when they did not find any obvious enemies around them.
Soon, these thirty or so dark elves lifted their alert status and continued running towards the tunnel entrance.
Perhaps because they didn't find any enemies along the way, this group of dark elves moved much more briskly. But just when they arrived at a place that was only separated by a small forest from the entrance and exit, a wave of
The fishy smell penetrated directly into their nostrils.
Feeling that something was wrong, the dark elves immediately moved to another tunnel entrance and exit. There was no special smell here, but when they entered, they were surprised to find that the previous tunnel that could pass the fire dragon cannon had collapsed.
"Get out of here." After taking a look at the fresh, smooth cuts left on the gravel at the entrance of the cave, the dark elf priest who led the team hurriedly backed away with his subordinates.
Because they can be sure that this place was fine half an hour ago, and being able to cut off all the stones at the entrance of the cave to block the entrance in such a short period of time is definitely not something that the exhausted dark elves like them can resist.
.
But at this time, they were already slow. Just when the dark elves realized that something was wrong and were about to retreat to the surrounding mountains and forests, a green figure suddenly fell from the sky. Then many people's eyes went dark and they didn't know anything.
