Broad World

At midnight, under the bright moonlight and the sky full of stars, Henry and his party went on the road for six hours without sleep, and finally saw the fire of the Wood Elf camp in the distance.

With the help of the dim light, they can clearly distinguish the appearance of the outer wall made of mud and wood. The uneven surface is covered with traces of being beaten by various weapons. A slightly blackened dark red can be seen everywhere, even You don't need to get close to know that it is a gelatinous substance formed after a large amount of dried blood plasma, as if telling the tragic battle that happened not long ago, and some unrecognizable corpses and bones that have been eaten by wild beasts can be seen on the surrounding ground.

Obviously, the wood elves only collected the corpses of their own compatriots, while the enemies were abandoned in the wild at will, allowing them to rot slowly and worry about it. The heavy loss made them have a strong hatred for the dark elves, so much so that they were unwilling to do even the most basic post-war burial.

Jiaxila looked at the endless corpses, and gasped involuntarily: "Hiss... the gods of nature, at least three thousand people died here!"

"To be exact, there are so many dark elves alone, plus a large number of slaves, at least five or six thousand died." Henry frowned and gave a more accurate number, and then immediately closed his eyes tightly. The upper mouth did not say a word. Although he has lost his sense of smell, the rotting flesh and blood can still remind people of many bad things, even just looking at it will cause the stomach to surge up.

With a pale face, Aimeng pressed his nose and urged: "I think... we'd better leave quickly, the damn stench here is about to suffocate me."

"That's right, I can't stand it anymore." Fede echoed, resisting the urge to vomit.

"Then leave quickly, or you may have nightmares when you are resting." After speaking, Henry took a step without hesitation, and quickly led everyone out of the woods exuding a rancid smell. Just when they were less than sixty meters away from the earth wall, there was a sudden swishing sound in the air. Immediately afterwards, two well-made arrows were precisely inserted less than an inch in front of the boots, as if warning the comers not to take a step closer.

Seeing such excellent archery skills, Apodell couldn't help but whistled and joked, "Wow, that's a typical elf welcome. I also received this kind of treatment when I stole the wine of an elf archer in Candlekeep."

"Hee hee, I remember that shooter seemed to cut two holes in your pants, nailed you to the wall, and then you stood there like a statue all afternoon, until I got new pants. Rescue you." Aimeng revealed the truth of the matter mercilessly. Judging by her sly eyes. This is definitely on purpose.

"Damn it! I haven't been bewitched by you yet!" Aberdell glared at his childhood playmate and sister angrily.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Henry smiled and shook his head: "Okay, be quiet first, the elf patrol team is coming soon, don't let them see the joke."

As soon as the words fell, a group of wood elves in dark green chain mail suddenly sprang out from the nearby grass. They had hair between yellow and copper, slightly sturdy arms, and elf-like eyes. With the unique gloomy light, each of them held a bow and arrow. There are two short swords or daggers pinned to his waist, and he is dressed as a standard ranger.

One of the women who seemed to be in the lead carefully kept a distance, and then shouted in common language: "Strangers. Who are you? You better reveal your identity, or we will launch an attack."

"Relax, beautiful elf lady, I'm here to find out about General Erhan's situation. These people are members of my adventure team." Henry lifted his hood to reveal his head, the iconic silver hair Silver Eye instantly caught the attention of the elf patrol.

The female elf in charge of leading the team moved a little closer, and asked in a slightly excited voice, "Is...is that you? Your Excellency the Dragon Rider?"

Henry nodded with a reserved smile: "Of course it's me. Is General Erhan there? I have something urgent to discuss with him."

"Of course. Your Excellency, the general has been looking forward to your arrival these days." The female elf stroked her hair in a flustered manner, and gave an elf salute. For some reason, she seemed a little nervous.

"If you don't mind, can you show us a way? I don't want to accidentally step on those troublesome traps after entering the camp." Henry said in a half-joking tone.

"Of course, this is our honor, please come this way." The female elf made a gesture of invitation. Leading the way alone in front, as for the remaining guys, they got into the grass to hide again, and continued to perform the mission of sentry.

As a very curious girl, Aimeng would never let go of any chance to ask questions, especially if the other party was a wood elf who rarely appeared in the human world. So she quickly leaned forward and blinked her eyes. He introduced himself with a hippie smile: "Hi, my name is Aimon. I am a thief and mage."

"Uh... hello, my name is Xilagui Melianne, a ranger." Although the female elf was a little dazed by the sudden self-introduction, she still reported her name and occupation out of politeness.

"Hey, then we know each other now. Can I ask you a question?"

The female star elf named Xi Lagui nodded hesitantly: "Of course, as long as there are no secrets involved."

"I heard that wood elf cities and villages are built on trees. Is this true? Isn't it dangerous, such as falling down suddenly? Also, are you all like monkeys? Picking and picking..." Aimon burst out a series of weird questions from his mouth in an instant, some of which even made Apodel blush, while Jasila covered her face in shame.

So embarrassing!

Xi Lagui was completely stunned, not knowing how to answer. She could feel that the human girl in front of her was not malicious, but just out of curiosity, just like those dwarfs who like to play pranks...

Seeing this situation, Henry hurriedly pulled Aimeng back, and explained with a smile: "Don't worry too much, she just wanted to make a joke, move on, I'm still in a hurry to see General Erhan."

Xi Lagui's mind is still foggy. Nodding subconsciously, he led everyone quickly through checkpoints, and arrived in front of a huge tent after a while. After explaining a few words to the guard at the door, she turned around and said to Henry, "You can go in now, General Erhan is inside, but your companions need to wait outside for a while."

"No problem." As he spoke, Henry winked at Aberdell, signaling everyone to rest in place for a while, and then got into the big tent without saying a word.

As soon as he stepped inside, he saw Erhan standing in front of the map with a melancholy expression. I don't know what to think. Obviously, Joan Irenicas's revenge plan put him under tremendous pressure, and there were even several wrinkles on that handsome face that was hardly affected by the years.

"You're finally back. How's it going? Is the underground trip going well?" Erhan greeted with a bitter face. His complexion was a little dark, and the bags under his eyes were severely swollen. It was obvious that he hadn't had a good rest recently without asking.

Although the elves do not need to sleep in theory, they must meditate for more than four hours a day. They call this ecstasy, and use it to restore their daily magic and magic positions, and sometimes even dream. But the elf general in front of him obviously hasn't meditated for at least three days. If this continues, you may soon get sick and die from overwork.

Henry nodded slightly: "Yes, the dark elf city that launched the attack this time has been completely destroyed, and they can no longer be Joan Irenicas' accomplices."

"Great. This is the only good news I've heard these days." Alhan clenched his fist and slammed the table hard. "Perhaps you don't know yet, Jonares is finally about to make a move. My scouts found that two monster armies were marching from the Shardtooth Mountains and the Star Swirl Mountains to the capital of elves - Sodannisla. I can reach the destination, but I don’t have the ability to stop them, because as soon as they enter the outskirts of the Wildas Forest, these damn fuckers will be protected by powerful illusions.”

"So...from now on, we have to race against time. Get back the Lane's Lantern before the monsters capture the city?" Henry asked with a serious face.

He didn't even pay attention to the number and types of monsters, because that was meaningless. It was impossible for Suodanisla to resist for a long time, maybe one day, maybe two days. It will be completely attacked in a short period of time.

Erhan smiled wryly and rubbed his eyes: "We not only need to race against time, but also need allies, a large number of allies. Maybe the four dragons under your command are already very powerful. But this is far from enough. In order for Jonares to be able to Completely occupying the Tree of Life, and even recruiting a large army of evil beasts, demons, golems, trolls, giants, ogres, and giant dragons, if you don’t have enough power, then even if you go, you will die in vain.”

After hearing such a terrifying number of monsters, Henry not only showed no trace of fear. On the contrary, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, showing a sneer: "Hmph. It's okay, I have already prepared for allies, including Askatla's Hot Heart Knights, the Masked Mage Guild, and more than a dozen good dragon gods. ——The metal giant dragon of the Bahamut Church, and I will draw some power from the territory to ensure that it will not be much worse than those monsters."

"I really didn't expect...you are actually related to the church of the King of Good Dragons?" Ai Erhan had an incredulous expression on his face.

"No, the reason why these giant metal dragons are willing to come to help is because Joan Irenicus' behavior has annoyed one of the female silver dragons who has just become a mother." Henry smiled playfully, and put the dragon egg Let me briefly talk about the theft.

After hearing this, Erhan immediately laughed and patted the table: "Hahahahaha! I really didn't expect that Jonares was so smart that he did such a stupid thing. It seems that the goddess of luck is still on our side. This side."

Henry stretched out a finger and shook it gently, and said meaningfully: "No, my friend, we are on the side of fate. By the way, where are my subordinates and my son?"

"They are resting in the tent at the back. You can go and have a look at them at any time. But before I leave, I want to ask one last question. You were responsible for the strong earthquake not long ago, right?" Alhan suddenly closed With a smile, he asked very seriously.

"Yes, that powerful explosion not only buried Uster Natha, but also destroyed the incarnation of the spider goddess Rose. That's all I can tell you right now, don't ask about the rest. , because it is likely to bring you endless trouble.” After speaking, Henry blinked his left eye with a smile, and left the tent directly, leaving Erhan sitting alone in a chair in a daze...
