Section 138 Burning the camp
Time is almost like a year for the elven ranger warriors on the banks of the river of life, they don't know when the dwarves will surprise attack, all they can do is to be vigilant against enemy attacks, thinking about whether the defense line under their feet can protect the land on the other side of the river.

The oppressive atmosphere was shattered by the urgent news from the Heart of Life at dusk, the news of Queen Erdor's death, Princess Emilia's succession to the throne, and now Queen Emilia's battle order arrived, and the soldiers waited curiously for their commander to speak.
Amilia's order was very simple, she was to arrange a raid team of 100 rangers to detour from the high altitude of the Yversian Mountains to the rear camp of the dwarves overnight, attack the granaries of the dwarven army with fire arrows, burn as much as they could, do not fight, and then half of the people continued to lurk in their places, and the other half of the people were driven back to the camp head-on by the dwarves in the direction of their attack.
As soon as they heard that there was a mission to take the initiative to fight, the rangers rushed to participate in the operation, but the queen said that she wanted the forest chiefs to select the best of the elves under their command to participate in the mission, so there were less than two hundred elves screened, of which more than a dozen were captains, and a hundred rangers were selected to form a surprise attack team, and the remaining dozens were in the rear to pick up the elves who came back.
This plan was not only appreciated by the front-line elf warriors, but also won the approval of the elders, who themselves only thought about how to forcibly resist the dwarves, but they were too frightened by the momentum of the dwarves to take the initiative, and Emilia was not, the calm analysis and arrangement made them all change their attitude towards the young queen, and they were no longer worried about this and that.
"The Temporary Surprise Attack Team of the Iversian Defenders is ready to go, Chief Forest, give the order to attack!" said Hippolito, the leader of the First Forest First Squad, who had been appointed as the commander-in-chief of the surprise attack team.
"Okay! Approve the attack! Remember to do what you are told, and don't fall in love with battle!" said the first forest commander of the defense army, who is also the commander of the general army, and waved his hand solemnly.
"Yes!" Ipolito straightened up, then turned around and set off, the road leading to the camp gate was lined with elves, and they were all confident to see off their comrades, this was the first time since the outbreak of the war that the elven army took the initiative to attack, and everyone wanted these comrades to complete their mission and return triumphantly.
As the last member of the raid team walked out of the camp for a long time, the gate of the camp slowly closed, and the elves ran to the top of the camp to look at the little figures of their companions who were rushing towards the Yvers Mountains in the distance.
At midnight, the surprise team had rushed west along the snow-covered high-altitude area of the Yvers Mountains for nearly a hundred kilometers, and they had been using magic to speed up the march, and the elves speeding through the treetops reached a speed of about eighty kilometers per hour, which was the magic level used for a long march, and if the effect of the wind system auxiliary magic was raised to the highest level of these elves, then their speed would reach hundreds of kilometers per hour, but it would consume too much magic power and mental power and physical strength, which was only used when fleeing for their lives。
"Captain, how long are we left?" asked an elf as he approached Hippolito's side.
Due to the high speed of the march and a slight snowstorm, Hipólito could not hear the elves clearly, and shouted, "What are you talking about?!
"I say, when will we get to the dwarves' den!" the elf repeated aloud at the opening of his throat.
"It's not far away, there should be less than half an hour to go! It's still early, we can slow down a little and let everyone save their energy!"
"Good!" the elf nodded in response, and passed the command to slow down from the front.
After more than twenty minutes, the elves saw the dwarven camp in a large valley, and when they arrived, they were all shocked.
The dwarven camp has countless military tents with square spires, as well as hundreds of neatly arranged spider-shaped mechanical chariots "Stalkers" at least five meters high, and four dwarven heavy cannons on the roof of the chariots, in addition to these, they can also find a mechanical warframe more than two meters high next to each military tent, these mechanical warframes powered by magic crystals and controlled by soul stones are the main weapons to cooperate with the dwarven warriors in the siege of the city.
"Captain—" An elf was already dumbfounded, and his previous excitement was completely gone.
"I can't imagine that the dwarves have gathered so many troops! Our defense line is estimated to not last more than three hours under the attack of this army, Her Majesty is really like a god, she asked us to attack the dwarven camp must have thought that the dwarves will attack tomorrow, so let's delay the dwarves attack date. Hipólito calmly explained to his men.
"But Captain, even if we can delay their attack, with our strength, we can't fight this army that is several times our size!" said another elf.
Hippolito nodded, sighed, turned to look at the dwarven camp, and said: "The only thing we can do now is to complete the task and delay the dwarven attack, this is also our mission, I believe that Her Majesty has a way to save us." ”
The elves nodded, they acquiesced to Hippolito's words, and now they could only trust hope.
After lurking in place for nearly an hour, the dwarven camp entered the weakest period of defense, and Hipólito immediately arranged for the team to prepare for the surprise attack, and once again strictly ordered everyone to fight quickly and not stay for long.
In the starry clear night sky, three hundred arrows shining like stars silently streaked over the dwarven camp and flew straight to the ten sturdy granaries with steel frames and steel walls attached to the wooden structure at the back of the camp.
The first hundred arrows are fifth-order wind system penetrating enchanted arrows, which can effectively penetrate a three-meter vertical steel plate within one kilometer, and the next hundred arrows are fifth-order fire-based explosion enchanted arrows, with an effective explosion destruction radius of nearly ten meters, and the last hundred arrows are fifth-order fire-based spark rain enchanted arrows, which will have a small explosion and splash countless high-temperature sparks around after hitting the target, and some sparks can even be splashed more than thirty meters away.
When the first arrows hit the ten granaries almost simultaneously, the silence of the night was broken by a loud explosion, and the dwarves were awakened, and when they ran out of their sleeps to see what was happening, the second batch of arrows had completely destroyed the structure of the dwarven warehouses, and the warehouses collapsed into ruins, and when the dwarves reacted to what had happened, the third group of arrows had already ignited the collapsed warehouses and countless foods, and the skyrocketing fire even began to spread to the rest of the camp, and the whole valley was like a volcanic eruption with billowing smoke。
"Quick! Fight the fire!"
"All the moving creatures are going up to me to put out the fire!"
"Find water! Use a shield to isolate the area that isn't on fire!"
The dwarven camp has been burned by a raging fire, in a hurry, the commander-in-chief of the dwarven army, Sage Saddam sent a team composed of a hundred meters of dwarves and ten stalkers to chase in the direction of the arrows, he heard the explosion in the camp, and saw the third batch of arrows flying, he already fully understood what was going on, and immediately arranged for someone to lead the firefighting work and send a pursuit team to annihilate the incoming enemy army.
At this time, the elves had already followed the original plan, Hipólito led fifty people to stay in place, and the deputy captain led the other fifty people to return down the mountain, and deliberately lured the dwarves to pursue them, and the dwarves chased after discovering the elves' escape.
Seeing that the dwarven pursuers had been tricked, Hippolito's hanging heart relaxed a lot, and he turned his gaze back to the burning dwarven camp, where the dwarves were driving the fire to the open space to the west of the camp, the fire in the east had almost been extinguished, and the countless grains had been successfully reduced to ashes under the fire.
