Aliria was riding on a giant eagle, overlooking the forest. This was the place where she grew up. Even after traveling for many years, her love for her homeland remained undiminished. She squinted her eyes and saw the brown trees in the forest.
Small dots are advancing, like annoying reptiles, polluting this sacred forest.
She drove the giant eagle to fly lower so that she could jump down and hunt them. They were a group of wandering beastmen, no more than thirty in number. Eliria hated them with all her heart. She lowered her body and leaned down on the ground.
On the back of the giant eagle, when approaching the beastman, he suddenly jumped off the back of the giant eagle. The giant eagle let out a long chirp, brushed against the leaves, and flew high. Eliria ran and jumped and landed on the nearest
On a big tree.
"Aliria!"
Legos rode another giant eagle and shouted behind him. However, he could not stop his sister's impulsive behavior. Eliria did this not once or twice.
The huge sound of the giant eagle flying through the woods quickly attracted the attention of the beastmen. Their eyesight was not good, but their hearing and sense of smell were absolutely sensitive. When the huge sound came, several inferior horned beasts suddenly changed their direction.
, running towards the swaying tree.
Eliria leaned through the woods. The dense branches and leaves blocked the sight of the beastmen. However, for the wood elves with excellent eyesight, only a gap was needed to see the enemy's position clearly.
Aliria has been wandering and hunting in this forest for many years. As a wanderer, she has unparalleled stealth ability and superb archery skills. Just like hunting forest prey countless times, the first cold arrow shot from the dense forest.
It shot out and sank into the body of a low-horned beast at an extremely precise angle. The arrow cluster pierced the throat of the low-horned beast, and the feathers on its tail were still trembling slightly.
The fall of the same kind angered the beastmen, and they roared and flew away in the direction of the arrow. However, without warning, the second and third cold arrows were fired one after another, and the third
One arrow was the same, and both feathered arrows were fatal. The arrows seemed to have eyes, shooting into the hearts of the beastmen and piercing their throats.
The beastmen lost in the forest began to scream in panic. However, they still could not find the hunter who attacked them. They could only see the fleeting figure of green leaves and grass not far away, and the shaking figure.
Grass and green leaves.
Immediately afterwards, the fourth, fifth, and sixth arrows were fired one after another, the sound of the bowstring trembling slightly, the sound of arrows streaking through the dense forest, everything was ruthlessly assassinated in the darkness. The still-living beastman stood
They formed a circle to protect the leader. However, the assassination was not over yet. Eliria and Legos were on one side, and arrows were fired continuously. The beastmen who were hit by the arrows fell one after another. The big horned beast standing in the middle was crazy.
Roaring, he clenched his battle ax and let out a savage roar. However, his opponent never appeared. After a round of cold arrow assassinations, the only three remaining inferior horns stood beside the big horned beast, trembling. They thought
Run away, but there is no way to escape.
Finally, amidst the wild roar of the big horned beast, the wood elf wanderer Eliria and her brother Legos walked out from behind the big tree. Legos silently drew his bow and arrow again, only not
In the time of a heartbeat, the feather arrow shot through the head of the inferior horned beast with a whoosh. The arrow passed through the skull, leaving a little bit of brains and blood.
Eliria drew her two swords and approached the remaining inferior horned beast and the leader of the great horned beast.
In the trapped beast fight, the inferior horned beast swung its worn-out sword and rushed towards the female elf. I saw Eliria rushing forward with an expressionless face. She walked as fast as flying, in front of the inferior horned beast waving its sword and slashing at it.
For a moment, the soles of his feet suddenly stopped, and his flexible body spun half a circle in the air. While dodging the attack, he swung his sword with one hand, leaving a deep gash in the back of the inferior horned beast.
The screams of the inferior horn echoed in the dark forest. Soon, the only remaining horned beast roared. He swung his big ax and rushed towards the female elf violently.
The beastman's eyes were shining red, like a crazy butcher. His body was stronger than a bull, and he was more than three meters tall. The horns on both sides of his head bent forward, reflecting a little oily light in the sun. Only wood could be seen.
The elf girl rushed forward to face the beastman's axe. Before the beastman's battleaxe fell, Eliria quickly rolled forward and dodged the attack. The battleaxe struck the ground, splashing black soil.
The beastman roared angrily, his face twisted angrily because he couldn't hit the target.
Before the beastman could take back his battle axe, Eliria appeared behind him with two swords in his hands. She used her hands hard like she was slaughtering a beast, and the elf sword pierced the beastman's waist. Only the sound of steel tearing flesh and blood was heard.
The sound came, and the roar of pain like a beast resounded through the forest.
It turned around and tried to catch the tiny elf. But Eliria's agility made it impossible for the big horned beast to do anything. Its giant ax struck across the air, but it swept through the air again and hit nothing.
The scimitar of another elf hunter, Legos, had already cut his hamstring.
The big horned beast roared and knelt down, thick blood gurgling from his ankles.
The pale sunlight shines on the beastman through the gaps between the green leaves of the forest. His deformed eyes are full of unwillingness and anger. However, the wood elf has no mercy. Irelia picks up the sharp elf sword and points it at the struggling man.
The beastman was a sword. The long sword pierced the beastman's thick skin, passed through his throat, and dark red blood spurted out from the wound.
"Let's continue on our way, father is waiting for us."
Standing next to his sister, the elf hunter Legos said coldly.
…
Palaon City.
"The forest of Athel Loren is a dark place. For thousands of years, no one who has ventured in has come out alive. That forest is stained with the blood of Bretonnians. It is hell!"
"Yes, you can ask the farmers living on the edge of the forest how many children have been lost in that forest over the past hundred years?"
After the Battle of the Blackwater River, the real main army of beastmen appeared in the forest. The wood elf commander Araloth led the wood elf army and rushed back to the Athel Loren forest for rescue. However, the Bretonnians living on the plains were forced to
Don't cause disagreements by rescuing the wood elves again.
Rescue to the end is the consensus of many people. However, this rescue is different from the past. If they want to aid the wood elves again, the Bretonnian army must go deep into the Athel Loren Forest. This is a mysterious land, Aiso.
There is powerful magical energy in the Loren Forest. The magical energy is powerful enough to distort time and space. To outsiders, this forest is a place of darkness. For thousands of years, it has swallowed up countless lives.
Even Duke Theodoric and Duke Birhemond, who had always stood on the side of fighting together, no longer agreed to enter the forest to support the wood elves this time. The threat of Mogul was terrible, but Athel Loren
The forest is a nightmare for Bretonnians. Without a guide, normal people cannot get out of the dense forest. In addition, the main force of Bretonnia is knights. The dense forest does not use large-scale cavalry charges, which is very difficult for Bretonnia.
For people, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. Whether it is necessary for them to enter the forest has triggered a fierce debate in the Duke's meeting.
"When did the great Bretonnian knights fear the dark forces? No matter how dangerous the forest is, we must go where we are needed. Also, the wood elves will serve as guides and lead us into that forest."
"Yes! If there is danger, let the knights of Bretonnia hesitate. Then, we will be ashamed of our tradition."
Duke Hubbard and Duke Adehad refuted this. The two Dukes showed extreme dissatisfaction with their timid colleagues.
"If enemies appear on our land, our knights promise to rush towards them without hesitation. But it's different now. We can't even see those enemies in the dark with our naked eyes. How can we fight against them?"
Duke Theodoric shouted.
"Your cowardice blinds you!"
Duke Adehad roared back without mercy. The lion cape on his shoulders was still bright, which was a symbol of family glory. Like a lion, he was fearless.
"Okay, listen to me, friends."
Finally, King Charles spoke. His gray hair was sparse, his forehead was so smooth that it could reflect the sun, and wrinkles crawled into the corners of his eyes. He looked no longer as strong as when he was young. But as a king, his status remains the same, as long as he
When Charles opens his mouth, no one will dare to make a noise.
"The Lady of the Lake appears before me."
As soon as Charles opened his mouth, everyone immediately cast surprised glances. Bretonnians believe in the Lady of the Lake, however, she rarely appears directly in front of people. Except for the Knights of the Holy Grail, almost no one in the outside world has witnessed the true appearance of the goddess. If we say
If the Lady of the Lake appears to the king, then there is no doubt that everyone must obey the will of the Lady of the Lake.
They looked at Charles intently. There was respect in their eyes. This respect was not only the respect of the courtiers for the king, but also the pursuit of faith.
"She told me that when darkness suddenly approaches, the earth becomes corrupted. Only by uniting all the forces that can be united can evil be defeated."
Charles spoke slowly in a pious tone. His face was glowing with glory. No one had ever questioned the words of the king, let alone the goddess of the lake.
"Unite all forces that can be united, including the wood elves..."
Charles said in a low voice. Everyone was in awe. Nothing can go against the will of the Lady of the Lake. Knights of Bretonnia, the journey begins...
