The south coast of the Jialan Continent, the Echo Islands.

It is a sprawling group of reef islands adjacent to the coastline.

Due to the tidal process, this reef group sinks below sea level for most of the year. It is only in September and October, when the storm season is approaching, that this group of reef islands emerges and becomes a forbidden sea that no navigator dares to set foot in.

As a result, the Echo Islands were exploited by the Pale Witches to build a solid forward camp that continued to invade the Jialan Continent.

It's not that the elves are unaware of the dangers of the Echo Islands, but they can't do anything about it.

The only main island in the Echo Islands that is perennially above sea level is densely packed with witches with a large number of defensive and offensive witch arrays, coupled with the presence of a third-order high-level witch, the elves need to pay an unimaginable price to uproot it.

What's more, the Echo Islands are still sixty or seventy miles away from the Jialan Continent, and if the elves want to attack that main island, they can only dispatch a huge navy and air cavalry. And once the elven navy is dispatched, the reefs around the Echo Islands that sink beneath the surface of the sea like canine teeth become their nightmare during battle.

As for the Elven Sky Rider, if you set off from the nearest southern coastline, fly a long distance of sixty or seventy miles and then besiege the witch stronghold with a strong fortress, most of the Pegasus and Hippogriff will be physically unable to support it. So the Echo Islands Witch Outpost has existed for a hundred or two hundred years, but it has never been uprooted by the elves.

The only thing the elves can do is to build a new elven city, Greenwater, near the coastline closest to the Echo Islands, and station a powerful elven legion, the Windranger Force, to fight against the witch invasion.

This Windranger force includes almost all the flying air units in the Elven Kingdom, from low-level Flower Spirits to high-level Green Elves, and from low-level Pegasus Knights to high-level Silver Pegasus Knights, as well as hordes of Horned Hippogriff Marksmen, Chimera Monsters, and Wind Eagle Raid Squads......

As long as there are flying demonic beasts that can be found in the Jialan Continent, they can be seen in Green Water City.

Coupled with a large number of low-level druids and their summoned jungle companions, if the witches dare to invade Greenwater, then the first thing they need to face is an overwhelming number of flying monsters.

With Greenwater City and the huge Windranger army in check, the invasion of the witches on the south coast is a bit of a bit of a weakness.

And after the coalition of the Dark Witch and the Pale Witch crossed the ocean and entered the Echo Islands, in the face of the strict defense of Greenwater City, they could only send some witch squads to bypass the Greenwater City area to make some small fights. Due to the presence of the Windranger forces and the relocation of the elven villages along the coastline, the Witch Squad's harvest is not very good, and they have to risk their lives greatly for it.

This also invisibly lowered the war income of the witches, so it caused serious dissatisfaction among the dark witches who came across the border!

In particular, the third-order dark witch Usa, who led the team, almost quarreled with the Pale Witches because of this.

Uzza led the team this time, but he was entrusted by the witch leader, in addition to bringing back a small group of elves to the dark witches, he also had to try to obtain the supreme holy relic of the Pegasus clan, the water of the magic spring.

The expansion of the Dark Witches in the shadow plane is going well, and they urgently need to migrate into a group of high-level intelligent life beings who can reproduce themselves.

It's just that the elves that the Pale Witch regularly captures from the plane of Vane are either elven warriors or elven archers, and almost all of them are physically strong combatants suitable for training as war slaves. This is a bit out of line with the Dark Witch's expectations.

The Dark Witches would prefer to have access to an entire group of elves including the elderly, children, women and children, with at least 400 of them. In this way, it is convenient for witches to observe and test the process of infecting the shadow position against the alien intelligent creatures.

As for the Pegasus Demon Spring, that is the key to the fact that the Magic Forest of the Jialan Continent can continue to create the Demon Beast Pegasus. It is said that only after a pregnant Pegasus or Silver Pegasus returns to its holy land, the Demon Spring, and uses the water of the Demon Spring, can the offspring born be a real Warcraft Pegasus, otherwise it will only be an ordinary wild horse.

This bizarre appearance certainly aroused the curiosity of the witches.

Recently, the Dark Witch has been planning to raise a suitable batch of flying witchcraft, so she is eager to obtain some of the water from the Demon Fountain for research.

It's just that the Pegasus Demon Spring is far away in the depths of the central mountain range, which is also an area heavily defended by the elves, so although the dark witches are anxious, they don't dare to make a mistake easily, so they can only find ways to slowly figure it out.

Therefore, for the Pale Witch entrenched on the periphery of the Jialan Continent without any large-scale actions, the third-order dark witch Uzza had long been unbearable, and he couldn't wait to part ways with them as soon as possible.

However, at this moment, she unexpectedly received an invitation to fight that made her heart flutter.

The invitation to battle comes from Alice.

Since the outbreak of the 'Witch Plague', Alice, the leader of the Witches of Fate, has believed that she has a powerful floating ship, broke away from the fleet of the Pale Witch, and broke into the Jialan Continent alone. For this kind of huge metal fortress that can advance and retreat freely, the side witch branch has long been envious.

However, if such a huge floating giant ship wants to fly in the air for a long time and fight deep into enemy-occupied areas, the amount of magic crystals consumed at any moment is also staggering enough. Therefore, the side witches are not without such means, but they are really unable to support such a terrible consumption of magic crystals.

As for the Witches of Destiny, the Tower of Destiny has been self-enclosed for thousands of years, and the amount of magic crystals they have hoarded must be staggering, so they can consume magic crystals so extravagantly in a short period of time to make up for the shortcomings in combat power. For this, the witches of the other families were not so surprised, although they were envious.

The Fate Witches led by Alice have been breaking into the Jialan Continent for half a month, and they will definitely have some gains. But with the team they were traveling to, there was not even a third-order witch who was in the position, so they must have been bleeding from their heads under the strong counterattack of the elves!

Now Alice actually took the initiative to invite the dark witches to act with them, and it seems that she must have suffered a lot.

With a slight snicker and contempt, the dark witch Uza accepted Alice's invitation to fight without hesitation.

October 12, 10471 in the Farn calendar.

Two light elven warships patrol the perimeter of the Echo Islands.

Compared with the large human sea ships, the elven warship is slightly smaller, the hull is long, the upper deck is relatively flat, and many elven unique long-range magic weapons - birdwing ballistae are placed on it.

Such an elven warship is obviously not suitable for the deep sea area with huge wind and waves, so it cannot sail far. However, in the offshore area near the coastline, it has become the most common combat ship in the Elven Navy due to its advantages such as fast speed and flexible steering.

It was a sunny afternoon.

The sky is blue and the sea breeze is blowing.

Two elven warships were cruising the periphery of Reef Island, admiring the stunning sea views and watching the witches of the Echo Islands not far away.

And above their ships, some winged pegasus flew into the air from time to time, and elven knights equipped with monoculars silently monitored the surroundings from above.

The snow-white horses, the wide white wings, and the handsome posture of stepping on the ground made this group of Pegasus knights earn everyone's attention. Elven warriors were waving to the Pegasus Knight and saying hello loudly on both sides of the Elven Battleship.

Although these Demonic Beasts Pegasus are divine horses, their physical strength is far inferior to that of other flying Demonic Beasts, so they are often only responsible for monitoring the airspace safety within three or five miles of the Elven Warship. Guarding the airspace farther away is often handled by long-lasting Hippogriff archers.

Today, the sea conditions are so good, and the scenery between the blue sea and blue sky is endless, so the Pegasus Knight, who was on the alert, played the old trick of diving and treading the waves around the elven battleship on a whim. A sturdy pegasus carrying the elven knight swooped down from a height of two or three hundred meters, and suddenly pulled up horizontally at the moment when it was close to the sea. The incomparable white Pegasus stepped on the rolling waves with four hooves, treading the waves among the undulating waves.

This thrilling scene immediately triggered bursts of cheers from the elves, and even the tall building fortress of the Echo Main Island in the distance drilled out a lot of black spots, peeking in the distance.

Sidaris wiped away the foam from the waves that had splashed on his face, and raised his flight altitude again to the cheers and waves of the elves. The silver pegasus under his crotch kept struggling to climb, and finally came to the side of the Hegus knight who was soaring above a hundred meters in the air.

"Aren't you going down to play for a while? It's rare to come to this Echo Islands, and the witches don't dare to come out easily, just to let our old buddies loosen their muscles. I've been stuck in the cabin all this time, and my bones are about to rust......" Sidaris asked in a brisk tone, his eyes full of incomprehension.

Most of the elven cavalry troops have been transferred to Greenwater City, and even several powerful elven envoys are stationed there. This year's 'witch plague' was strangled by the elves from the source, and so far, the attacking team of witches has not even had a chance to set foot on the elves' homes.

As for the sporadic team of witches who sneaked into the Jialan Continent at night, as long as they dared to show their heads, they would definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of the elven windranger troops and the elven powerhouse.

So psychologically, Hidaris didn't take the group of witches in front of him to heart.

It is said that this year, the focus of the witches' attacks is once again on the human-dominated Faen Continent, and the Jialan Continent is just bluffing. So, as long as they survive the four-month low tide period, and wait for the violent monsoon to blow in the depths of the ocean, the witches can only obediently retreat to the evil Shadow Isle again.

At that time, the Echo Islands will also be swallowed up by the swelling waters and sink below the surface again.

Without this powerful outpost stronghold, it will not be so easy for the witches to invade the Jialan Continent again.

Just when Hidaris was 'harassing' Hegus without a match, the somewhat stubborn and withdrawn Silver Pegasus Knight suddenly shook his body, pulled out a silver monocular from his waist, held it in front of his eyes and looked at the sea on the other side.

Alert ...... Alert...... Enemy is coming!"

The next moment, the Silver Pegasus Knight Hegus suddenly sounded the piercing enemy siren he was wearing......
