The moment Ellene and Orianna saw the captain of the forest falling into the dust, and saw the demon army coming from the direction of the royal court like locusts and tides, they already understood:

The fall of Seberholm was already predestined.

Even... The whole of Comanso is... Doomed!

I don't know how many years ago, the High Elves, the original 'gardeners' of the forest, came here, and they built the first habitat around Lake Seberholm, which was Seberholm.

In the northern vicinity of the Elven Tree, they saw the miracle of the High God Corellon, so they established a new settlement there, tending to the trees like royal gardeners, breaking the 'eternal shadows' with the magical glades built under the trees, and the large dangerous beasts were driven and slaughtered in large numbers after a high frequency of hunting, bringing peace and tranquility to the elven homeland for decades.

Later, they founded the kingdom of Comanso, which is still known today by the name of the elven king Timmistrono.

However, Seberholm, adjacent to Mystrono, is far above the rest of the forest under the irrigation of pure lake water, and the limestone caverns that once provided the perfect refuge for elves are now an excellent hiding place for Drow on the surface, and because of its proximity to the Shining Star and Moonlight Hills, and as one of the three major elven settlements of Komanso in the history of the region, five centuries after the Kingdom of Komanso has been wiped out, the competition between pure-blood elves and Drow for their stronghold in Seberholm has been frequent and fierce, and has changed hands several times.

But whether it is the elves or the drow, I am afraid no one would have thought that this calm and sacred Lake Sebe would one day... It will also be visited by creatures such as demons.

That kind of shock, despair and powerlessness is probably no less than the tearing up of Kang Shuaifu and Tongyi instant noodles for a lifetime, and the dimensionality reduction blow to their sales and financial reports when they first saw Meituan fall from the sky...

Due to the High Elves' Locks, at least in the depths of this vast forest, they don't have to worry about opponents other than Drow.

Therefore, the defense measures of this elven stronghold centered on Lake Sebe are still in the form of primitive guard towers and forest villages...

As for the city walls?

Would that kind of thing be useful for Drow, who has long been accustomed to 'flying on the wall' in the dark regions?

But without strong walls, without enough manpower, without the means to strike a wide range of attacks that can 'clear the map' in a short period of time, what can they use to resist the torrent of demons in front of them...

Although the elves of Comanso have never dealt directly with such creatures as demons, rumors about demons have long spread throughout the continent of Correll.

And what impressed them even more... Less than 170 years after the fall of Mystrano, the Elven Empire of Yerlan, located in the western part of the Northlands, was destroyed.

It is said that the root cause of its destruction is the abyssal portal that suddenly appeared in Esko Corner and the swarming demon army.

Ironically, in many records and maps of human history, it is still named Hell Gate Fort, and I don't know how the devils under Batow will feel when they know about it.

Orianna looked at the direction in which Hilla Linda had disappeared, with an irrepressible look of pain in her eyes, and then said to Erlene, who still couldn't seem to accept the scene in front of her, at a very fast pace:

"My sister, get out of here!

"Spread the news that this place has been invaded by demons, only in this way can more elves have a chance to escape.

"In this way, it is not worth living up to the efforts and sacrifices of Hila Linda and them!"

Of course, Elinee understood this, and immediately asked:

"What about you?"

Oriana looked in the direction of the demon army and said:

"Someone here has to stay and stop them for a moment, or else at the speed of this demon army... With the speed at which civilians are evacuating, there is simply not much escape. ”

Erlinee also knew that this matter was urgent, but she still couldn't accept this fact, and more importantly:

"But the terrain is flat, even if you stay..."

The implication is that with your ranger army, even if you stay, you won't be able to stop this demon army for a moment.

But before she finished speaking, she was held by Oriana, the elf royal sister, on the cheek:

"Hani, trust me, when have you ever seen me do something meaningless?

"If so many of them are Drow, I will go with you without saying a word, but since it is a demon, I can still give it a try.

"Besides, I haven't lived long enough, so I said I'd like to go to your house and eat the candied fruit you made yourself.

"So if I'm lucky enough to make it to the end, I'll try to lure and divert this group of demons in the direction of the Valley of Lost Sound...

"Finally, Elina, didn't you say that you would take all your people who yearn for Minas with you to the Northlands?

"I thought, it's time.

"This is undoubtedly the worst of times.

"But it's also the best opportunity.

"I'm sure you can do it...

"Only you can do it..."

As she spoke, Orianna kissed Ellene's smooth forehead,

"Go, Ellene. ”

Then he pushed the half-elf girl, who was already in tears, down from the treetops, just like the stern appearance of the big sister when she first met her:

"Run!

Ellene, who fell towards the ground, resisted the urge to cry, and suddenly closed her eyes, and the tears were like a broken silver screen and turned into thousands of points of light and disappeared into the forest.

Having been a forest ranger for half a century, she knows better than any elf the meaning of instant messaging, especially battle reports.

Sometimes it's just a fleeting delay, and it can cost thousands of lives!

So when she opened her eyes again, there was no hesitation or hesitation in her eyes, and with a gentle touch of her slender pale wrist on the pine branch, her body was so light that it seemed to have no weight at any point, and she turned two hundred and seventy degrees and stepped heavily on the extremely elastic branches, like a longbow that was drawn, and shot herself like a sharp arrow into the southern forest.

At the same time, the location of all the elven and half-elven strongholds in the entire Comanso Forest came to mind, and quickly sketched out the most efficient route of travel.

And every time this happens, the hope in her heart to make Zeellandia stronger grows stronger.

Because if this was the Northland, she could rely on the slimes and Kaka's mobile Monternet to deliver diffuse messages, which would undoubtedly save more lives.

Just as Elinee was about to run beyond the limits of her horizon, the cry of Orianna Windtalker was heard behind her:

"My people, the time has come for us to fight to the death!

"Life is worth fighting for!

"In order to... Glory to Mistrono!"

"For the glory of Mistrono!"

The elven defenders of Cyberholm shouted in unison.

After all, Ellene couldn't hold back the throbbing and sadness in her heart, and glanced back in the direction of Cyberholm...

Then she saw a magnificent scene that she probably could not forget in her life.

As Oriana raised her scimitar, the entire jungle of Cyberholm seemed to resonate, the grass and trees began to move in the wind, and the lush leaves danced to it.

"Buzz..."

An ancient oak tree that had been planted for centuries suddenly rose from the ground, like a giant awakened from its slumber, picked up a pale boulder from its feet and threw it at the incoming demonic invaders.

The stone kept flapping in the air, and soon it was like a mill crashing into the mill, and the entire forward area of the demonic torrent was dented on the spot.

It's just that the demons who have long been accustomed to the brutal bloody battlefield will be stunned by such a small scene, and there is not even the slightest ripple, just like a mudslide to continue to roll forward, but soon more boulders will crash down.

Because in Seberholm, thousands of ancient treemen, as if they heard the distant bells, like soldiers on an expedition, used their bodies to form the walls of Seberholm!

And on their shoulders, behind them, more than 2,000 death-defying Windtalker rangers continued to rain down the arrows in their baskets towards the invading demon army.

At that moment, it was as if through them that Ellene had seen the image of the ancestors who had just come to the continent of Correll to take root and fight against the Titans and dragons, which were almost impossible to defeat.

At that time, they used this countless way of dying in exchange for the chance to live for the clansmen behind them.

A boom suddenly shattered Ellene's illusion.

I saw that the sky on the other side suddenly became cloudy, and then a violent lightning bolt crashed wildly towards the demonic torrent.

Erlene also finally understood the strength of Oriana's words, as a family of Windwhisperer guardians inherited from the Elven Court, she had been taught how to use the Comanso Forest Lock.

At the moment, these tens of thousands of ancient trees of war and thunderstorms should be the defense mechanism of the Mystery Lock, which was inspired by Orianna.

However, this defense mechanism has a loophole, and in order to prevent it from being used for internal friction, it was originally designed to only be used against non-elven creatures.

Maybe the designer of this mysterious lock probably never thought that the elven god queen would actually degenerate into a spider god queen, and even led a whole dark elf tribe to become the drow of the civil war phantom god...

But at this moment, the Comanso lock is perfectly up to the mission it has been given by its designers and history:

That is, when the elven stronghold is inevitably devastated, hold back the enemy's pace at all costs, and buy time for the escape of the surviving compatriots behind him.

"The glory of Mistrono..."

A murmur seemed to come from the shadows and drift in the wind.

Valley of Lost Voice?

Ellene looked into the valley where the sound had come from, on the road to Resavi on the border between the Pillars and Essebla, the ancient burial place of the elves of Comanso.

It was the burial place of the elves, and it was their sacred place, where the elves would not stop and settle, and Drow would avoid the area as determined as the humans.

Because there, there is still a guardian heroic spirit who refuses to go to the Elven Divine Kingdom and still resides in the main material plane.

Thinking of this, Ellene finally had a little confidence in Oriona, and she took one last look at the resolute back, and murmured:

"Sister Oriana, you must come back alive..."

Eventually, as she swept forward, Orianna, the desperate elven guards, and the desperate demon army all vanished.

Silence and peace returned to the forest again, as if everything that had been before was just her illusion.

But only she knew that everything was so real and cruel, that Hila Linda's blood could not be shed in vain, and that Orianna's hard work could not be in vain.

With this determination, she soon reached her first stronghold, the Tree of Tangle.

The Tree of Tangle was the third largest settlement of Comanso after the Elven Court and Seberholm, and a large number of young elves, warriors, adventurers, half-elves and wanderers who did not participate in the Great Retreat moved here, and with the fall of Cyberholm and the perennial back-and-forth tug-of-war with Drow, it became the largest gathering point for non-pure-blood elves, and it was also the first foothold for Ellene to enter Comanso.

Due to Erlinee's painstaking management for nearly 30 years, it has not only cultivated a continuous mushroom field and a fish pond, but also opened a school and an elf nursery based on Zeellandia's miners' children's school, and used social welfare to take in and train the elven orphans who were recaptured from the slave hunters due to war and humans.

So when she hurried back to the tangled tree, she was immediately surrounded by these elves, rubbing her white thighs with her face affectionately, wanting to hug.

In normal times, Ellene would patiently soothe them, listen to their troubles, and then distribute some berries picked on the way to these lovely children.

But there was no time for delay, and with a stern and serious look and a downward gesture, Ellene signaled the noisy children to silence, and then came to the big bell hanging on the tree with the incredulous solemn gaze of everyone, and struck it heavily.

The sound of the bell immediately spread throughout the Tree of Tangle, and all the elves and half-elves who heard the bell quickly came back as fast as they could, looking at the figure that rang the bell.

It is said that the bell was purchased from the human kingdom in the south, because Drow's ears are generally sensitive, and the low and distant sound of the bell is too harsh for the elves, but it is undeniable that it can warn in the shortest possible time.

In normal times, three bells indicate that a Drow raider is attacking nearby, four bells represent an entire Drow safari team, and six bells represent a large-scale attack by Drow.

This bell has been purchased for so many years, and most of them are three, four are relatively rare, and six has only appeared once.

But at the moment...

It's nine tones!

Everyone looked at Ellene in trepidation.

No one knows what this means exactly?

Could it be that the undead scourge is starting to spread in Comanso?

And soon, they got the answer from Elina's mouth:

It's not an undead disaster, but it's more terrible than an undead disaster...

Demons Attack!

"Fellow citizens, I am sorry to bring you such frustrating and desperate news.

"But in the face of such a catastrophe, we have no choice but to flee. ”

Immediately, a half-elf cried out of the bottom.

Of course Ellene knew what they were crying for.

Because their mushroom fields are about to be harvested, the saw fat fish and crabs in the lotus pond are at their fattest.

They are even more reluctant to let go of the treehouse and the newly built school that have lived in it for generations.

Without them, they will have nothing.

It's just that at this moment, no one is going to say these meaningless and frustrating words.

Finally, an elf looked at Ellene with a desperate face and said:

"If the devil is really as terrible as you say, we... Where else can they escape?"

But Ellene looked behind them, at the distant sky, as if through the endless forest, over the mountains, across the distant desert, through the boundless countryside, saw the white city where she had prepared to spend the rest of her life in peace, and said slowly:

"My hometown.

"Zeellandia——— Minas Stirris. ”

But halfway through the conversation, she paused, and said in the midst of everyone's dumbfounded gazes:

"But... It's still too far away after all.

"So we need a transit station and a bridgehead that can stop this demonic torrent.

"Let's retreat all the way south to the city of Tifanton in Cormier. ”

Cormier, here we are...
