First Entry to the Continent Chapter 111: Homecoming?
"What do you mean, who else?" Elrond couldn't help but tense inwardly.
"All the people of the Land of Thorns" Ayton said calmly, startling all the forest elves present: "Vnovic, the greatest master of the land of thorns is trying to rebel, he is the one behind the capture of the forest elves, and he must be connected with those dark mages"
"So, once a forest elf enters the range of the Thornlands, it will definitely be detected by Vnovic, and it is a sixth-order elf, the marquis will definitely tell his allies, and..."
Before Ayton could finish speaking, Elrond figured out what was going on, turned to the adjutant and ordered, "Sarana, gather our chocobo knights..."
"Do you want to disobey your Queen's orders?" Ayton looked at Elrond with a changing expression, "Or... Do you want more compatriots to die? There are so many of you, going together will only expose yourself!"
"Shut up, dark elves, it's not your right to speak, it's all because of you!" Elrond glared at him.
"Let's go, I'm the little princess of the Bright Blue Kingdom, and together with the two of them, I will definitely do my best to rescue your compatriots," Lan Keke stood up and said at this time.
β...... No, you can't let these two dark elves go."
"Brother Elrond!" Tribeth suddenly shouted, her green eyes filled with tears as she looked pleadingly at the Ranger Vice-Commander.
"Why don't you let them go and save my sister? just let them find her and tell her that I'm back safely, and tell her to come back soon... If it had been a little longer, it would have been..."
Elrond's face struggled even more violently, and in this regard, Tribiss couldn't help but whisper again, word by word: "Brother Elrond, you... Don't you like..."
"Shut up! Elrond suddenly punched himself in the thigh and made a decision, turning his head to look at Ayton.
"Okay, I promise you, you go back to the Land of Thorns, find her, and take her back here safely, otherwise..."
Ayton's previously suspended heart finally relaxed, the strength of his arm relaxed a little, and Ariel also opened her eyes silently, looking at Ayton with blood-red eyes happily.
"Great," Lan Coco behind couldn't help but jump excitedly.
"But! the woman stayed as a hostage," Elrond snapped at Ariel, "for five days! If you don't come back within five days, I swear you'll never see her again."
"What?" Lan Coco froze, looking at Elrond and then at Ayton.
However, this sentence was expected by Ayton, and it would be a real fool to let the two of them go.
Ayton slowly let go of the arm holding Ariel, but was grabbed by Ariel, looking at Ayton quietly, because he didn't close his eyes for a day and a night, his bloodshot red eyes showed a deep reluctance: "Brother..."
Ayton smiled slightly, and his heart was also reluctant, he broke away from Ariel's little hand, held the latter's face with both hands, kissed it lightly, and said softly: "Stay here obediently and wait for me to come back." β
"Don't leave me... This is my second wish," Ariel suddenly buried her head deep in Ayton's arms, her nose sobbing slightly.
Ayton couldn't help but chuckle softly when he heard the second wish, patted her on the back, and shoved the Nether Dagger in his hand into her hand.
"Don't worry, I will definitely come back, it's an agreement between us"
After saying that, Ayton turned around, looked at the back of Ilully, who was still motionless, and gently patted her tender shoulder: "Ilully, don't blame yourself"
Ilully remained unmoved, but her body shook slightly.
Ayton sighed, picked up the Nether Sword that he had dropped before, and glanced at the tragic battlefield, nearly a hundred human corpses were everywhere, the smell of blood was wafting everywhere, and there were already many elven rangers covering their mouths and noses.
Suddenly, he found a black dagger that had been deeply inserted into the corpse of the knight of the Ford family, which was Ariel's Nether dagger.
Due to the fierce fighting at the time, she did not have time to draw her short sword and fought with a dagger instead.
The five hundred elite rangers behind them all focused on him, but Ayton was unmoved, drew his Nether Shortsword again, threw it to Ariel, and then silently walked in the direction of Simmel Ford.
Step by step seemed very difficult, not that he wanted to delay time, but that his physical strength and energy were almost exhausted, and if he went to the Land of Thorns again to find a forest elf, it could be said that it would be difficult to reach the sky.
"Ayton, I'll go with you" Lan Coco glanced at Ariel, who stopped in place and looked at Ayton's back in a daze, and turned to run towards Ayton.
The scene of Ariel blocking the final blow of the Evil Pupil White Tiger for her last night is still vivid.
Ignoring the lifeless young master Simmel, who had been hit by several arrows in his body, Ayton mounted his tall war horse, which was worthy of being bred by the Ford family, and which did not leave even after the death of its owner.
"Ayton, I'll go too" Seeing that he didn't answer, Lan Coco ran to Ayton's side and shouted anxiously.
"No, you can stay here, you are the princess of the Bright Blue Kingdom, they won't do anything to you" Ayton simply refused.
The trip was very dangerous, and Vonovich knew that the mission had failed, and it was very likely that he would give it a go.
And Lan Keke Yao Blue Princess, Fnovic will definitely spare no effort to pursue her again.
"But you're in this state... You're alone, I'm not at ease," Lan Coco grabbed the saddle and worried.
The battle with the fifth-order powerhouse was too reluctant, and the surface of the body seemed to be intact, but the internal organs were slightly damaged by the shock, of course, the most important thing was that he didn't sleep for a day and a night, and his spirit was exhausted.
"I don't want you to die in vain, I'm here... At leastβ" Lan Coco gradually lowered her head.
"Alright, come on," Ayton sighed, holding out a hand to her.
Lan Keke's unsparing efforts to defend him before also moved him very much, and he was a little reluctant to leave her at this time.
Hearing this, Lan Coco happily grabbed Ayton's arm, turned over on the horse, and gently hugged his waist.
"Take this!" Sarana, who was not far away, suddenly threw a small green wooden card at Ayton, which was caught by Ayton with one hand, and the wooden card was simply engraved with the word elf, but there was a trace of life on the surface.
"It will allow you to safely climb the Asahi Mountains for only one day," Salana shouted to Ayton, to whom Elrond said nothing.
"Thank you," Ayton nodded, and took one last look at Ariel, Eruly, and Tribis, who were already surrounded by the Forest Elf Rangers.
Gotta find the woman and get back here, Ayton swore through gritted teeth.
"Let's go!" the war horse fell as Ayton's words fell, and ran towards the Asahi Mountains with his back to a group of elven rangers.
Ariel saw that Lan Coco actually hugged Ayton's waist, and her heart tingled inexplicably, but then slowed down again.
Ayton disappeared from sight, and Sarana looked at Illuri worriedly, but she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's almost over, let's go back" Elrond walked up to them at some point, "Sarana, you're in charge of keeping care of this dark elf"
"Yes, Lord Elrond" Salana bowed slightly, not showing the slightest hint of disrespect she had shown to him.
In fact, she knew from the bottom of her heart that it was because of the huge loss in the Forest of Despair, and the fact that the woman he had a crush on had escaped without permission and was in danger, so it seemed so extreme.
Elrond walked in front of Iluri and said slowly to Ilully, who had her eyes closed, "Your Royal Highness, your subordinates are very sorry for your previous behavior, and now please allow your subordinates to take you back to the Flower Language Forest."
At this time, Iruli finally opened her eyes gently, but Sarana was shocked to find that her eyes already contained tears at this time, and she had been closing her eyes just to prevent tears from flowing, losing her temper in front of her people, or there was a reason why she didn't have the face to face others, but it didn't matter anymore.
Illuri gently wiped her face, nodded, and took one last look in the direction of the Asahi Mountains, her body suddenly becoming shaky.
"Your Royal Highness, Princess!" Salana exclaimed, and a scurry step forward to hug her, at this time she was already exhausted and unconscious due to the long journey and the huge mental blow.
Elrond's grim expression slowed down a little, and he glanced at Tribis: "Go back, Tribis, you have to tell everything you see."
Seeing this, Ariel didn't react, and slowly wiped the blood on the Nether Dagger with the corner of her sleeve, and then inserted it into the scabbard she was wearing.
Two elven sentinels stepped forward and made a gesture to escort her away, but Ariel suddenly turned her head and glared at them fiercely: "Don't touch me, I'll go myself." β
The bloodstains all over his body and the murderous aura suddenly made these sentries stunned.
"Dark Elves, you'd better pray that brother of yours to bring Birodis back, or I'll let you know the consequences," Elrond snapped at her.
"Hmph, my brother will definitely be back"
.......
The tall warhorse was running slowly through the dense forests of the mountains, but fortunately it was strong and agile enough that it did not slow down.
The mountain road was very rough, and it was very bumpy for the two of them to sit on the same horse, and Lan Coco couldn't help but hug Ayton tightly to prevent himself from falling.
But for some reason, he didn't have any aversion to physical contact like Ayton, but he felt a little at ease, so much so that he pressed his face against his back.
The original blue staff was also included in the Orb of Deception.
"Coco, how are you feeling now, how much mana has recovered," Ayton asked softly.
"I... I'm fine, just a little... Sleepy" Lan Keke suddenly couldn't help but let out a long yawn, and sleepiness swept through her mind.
No, we can't sleep like this, time is pressing, and now we are still in the dangerous Asahi Mountains, without Eruli by her side, we will definitely encounter a lot of monster attacks along the way.
Lan Keke thought truthfully in his heart, but his sleepiness became stronger and stronger, and he couldn't help yawning.
Ayton sighed, drowsiness also bothered him, but he had been trained in mental power, and when he escaped from the dark cave, he also escaped in the Forest of Despair for a whole day, almost a day and a night without closing his eyes.
