Chapter 0619: Enemy Attack
The Valley of the Spears in the afternoon was unusually quiet and serene.
In the dim forest, birds sing and insects chirp, and a flock of colorful spotted birds stretch their brilliant wings and fly happily between the branches.
Mottled points of light were projected through the cracks in the foliage, leaving beams of glittering light in the air. Unfortunately, instead of illuminating the forest, these pillars of light made the Valley of Spears more and more secluded and deep.
The Valley of the Spears is a deep, narrow, concave valley named for its shape that resembles a spear. And in the deepest part of the Valley of the Spears, there is an underground mine carved out by kobolds, known for its abundance of high-quality iron ore.
Seriously speaking, this is also one of the military forbidden areas demarcated by the Elven Kingdom, except for the elven convoy and kobold miners, no other alien race is allowed to approach or break into it.
The usual kobold mine cave is too dark and deep, and it will collapse at every turn, so other creatures and alien beasts are reluctant to break into it. Therefore, invisibly, the kobold's defense is extremely lax.
As far as the eye could see, in front of the huge black cavern, only two kobold warriors with spears in their arms, leaning against the rock wall, their heads dozing little by little.
On the high cliffs on both sides of the Spear Valley, tall ancient trees are still densely covered, and the luxuriant canopy of trees stretching like a fan obscures the sun high in the sky, leaving only a sunny path in the middle of the valley.
However, in the midst of the silence and peace, in the shadow of the canopy of a tall ancient tree above the canyon, a female elf covered in elaborate openwork armor threw off her cloak and emerged from her camouflage.
"Isaac, is that metal monster really going to raid this desolate place? There's nothing but iron ore in the kobold mines below, what do the witches want these iron bumps?" the elf flicked her short green hair anxiously and turned her head to look at the ancient tree beside her.
And where the female elf stared, the surface of the crumpled bark of the tall ancient tree unexpectedly raised a human figure, and then transformed into a male elf dressed in grass-green vine costumes, wearing a deer helmet and holding an oak staff.
He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose and a wide mouth, and his green hair was twisted into rough braids and scattered over his shoulders. Although his appearance is not handsome, he also has a wild and spontaneous beauty.
As you can see from the appearance, this is a special class in the forest elves, a druid.
Depending on the class trait, the Druid group is more of a combination of a warrior and a spellcaster. Possessing powerful natural spells, they can cast spells and transform into a true monster at any time, using their powerful racial abilities and hand-to-hand combat power to fight their enemies.
It's just that most of the objects that druids can choose to transform into are wild magical beasts of the natural system, and they can't transform across borders.
This druid named Isaac is also a second-order powerhouse, and this time he also rushed from the Central Mountain Range to stop the metal monster. It's just that due to time constraints, the Druid Order he brought is not yet complete, only 1/3 of the regular force.
But even so, a team of druids of up to forty people is a formidable force to be reckoned with in any region.
"Before I came, Commander Marina had already explained that we must find out the strength and movements of this enemy this time. The General Staff had already studied the dynamics of this group of enemies, and found that they seemed to be coming towards the mines of the Jialan Continent. Along the way, they have looted four wild mines one after another. Based on where they were last seen and their flight path, the kobold mine is likely to be their target. ”
"If the Staff is so sure, why did they just send you here?What about the Glory Blades?What about the Wrath of Nature Marksmanship?What about the Silver Lightning Flying Columns?Where are they?"
No wonder the female elf was so angry.
After all, she is only the captain of the guard (Tier 2) of a nearby elven town, and there are only about a hundred and so warriors under her command, among which most of them are flower elves and sword dancers, and only half of them can advance to the elite level (Tier 1).
Even if all the druids brought by Azak were promoted elites, the total number of elite warriors was only fifty or sixty. Ambushing the metal monster and the witches on it with such power, the elf captain was really a little apprehensive in his heart.
"There's no way around it!" Druid Izak shook his head and said, "The matter is urgent, we have received definite news, a large number of witch warships have approached the east coast, and the elite troops within the kingdom have been transferred to Silvermoon City in the east." The commander is worried that this metal monster is just a decoy sent by the other party to distract our forces, otherwise why haven't they attacked any elven villages and towns so far......?
"Then at the very least, we must send in the Silver Lightning or the Horned Eagle Beasts! the other side is flying in the sky, how can we fight them if we don't have enough air force?"
"The troops you mentioned have been transferred to the east coast to reconnoiter the enemy's movements, and it is impossible to return after a long journey. If the enemy does ambush and land the metal airship, we will find a way to rush up and occupy it. The druids I brought were all promoted to the next level, and they were able to transform into Wind Hawks, and they also had a certain amount of air combat ability. If the enemy has any air forces, hand them over to us!, however, we may also need your ranged attacks as a secondary ...... if necessary."
The female elf captain nodded silently when she heard this.
There are 20 elven marksmen in the garrison she brought, and although they are not as powerful as the sharpshooters she has promoted, there is no problem with secondary shooting at medium and close range.
The only headache now is not knowing what kind of enemy is on the flying giant ship that the enemy is piloting. What's even more troublesome is that they fly high in the sky and can choose any target to attack at will. Before the enemy's attack target could be determined, the elves could only passively defend and defend, and could not effectively concentrate their forces to fight them.
As it is now, the elf captain has to wait quietly for a 'probable' enemy on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is worried about the Moon Shadow Village, which is 80 miles away. It was her hometown, where she was born and raised, and where the entire village garrison was now transferred.
In case of......
The elf captain shook her head, struggling to shake the terrible thoughts out of her mind, and once again brushed aside the lush foliage in front of her, and began to scan the blue sky to the west.
In the woods, the female elf captain's body shook, let go of the branches and leaves, and squeezed her body deeper into the canopy, her blue eyes staring at the gradually growing black dot in the western sky for a moment.
Not daring to slack off, the female elf captain raised her hands to her lips and struggled to send out a high-frequency shout towards the nearby jungle. In the surging forest sea where the leaves are brushed, such high-frequency shouts are ignored by outsiders as natural background noises, and only natural creatures such as forest elves, druids, and flower elves can parse the obscure and long-standing call signs from them.
The enemy is really coming!
And he went straight to this kobold mine.
After receiving the order of the female elf captain, all the elven warriors lurking in the dense forests on both sides of the Valley of Spears hid their figures, pricked up their ears and silently waited for the next battle order.
The female elf captain took a step back and gently shook the elven cloak on her body, completely covering her armor and body. With a strange change of light and shadow, her figure was perfectly embedded in the surrounding environment, and she could no longer be distinguished.
And at this time, the second-order druid named Isaac had already used camouflage to fuse himself with the ancient tree. Unless the enemy happened to touch his body, it would be impossible for anyone to scan his location and find him again.
…………
The floating giant slid swiftly across the sky.
In the distance, Taimo discovered the strange-looking Valley of Spears.
Under his command, the bottom of the floating giant ship spewed out rich wind elemental particles, and then slowly hovered above the kobold mine.
The terrain of Spear Valley is too narrow for a floating giant ship to land in it.
So standing at the bow of the ship, Grim leaned over to probe and waved his hand to signal the giant ship to reduce its altitude as best it could.
So, under the jets of hurricane-like wind particles, the floating giant ship began to slowly descend along the center line of the Spear Valley, and soon descended to the point of being level with the rock cliffs on both sides. At this time, the dense canopy of the tall ancient trees on the rock cliff scraped against the hull of the floating giant ship, making a piercing sound of friction and breaking.
The two kobold warriors guarding the entrance of the cave had already been awakened, and looking at the behemoth that had been pressed down on their heads, the two of them threw away their spears, and fled into the cave with a scream.
There was a muffled thud.
The bottom of the floating giant ship touched the rock cliff, and the whole hull trembled, and finally stopped.
At this time, the ancient trees on both sides of the cliff clustered around the giant ship, like swaddling clothes that wrapped a baby, tightly wrapping it in it.
At this time, a ten-person team emerged from the internal cabin of the floating giant ship.
Two goblin technicians with eight marksmen.
On the deck of the giant ship, except for the half-elf Tymo, there are only Grimm, Bilis, and the two Witches of Destiny who ran out to watch the fun.
Coming to such a beautiful Otherworldly Continent for the first time, these two young witches who had never traveled far looked extremely excited and excited, and they were already planning to go to the nearby mountains and forests together.
In such strange mountains and rivers, you may be able to find some rare plant specimens that are not available in the wizarding world. With such a thing, you may gain a lot of magic crystals from taking it back to the wizarding world.
However, just as Grim was commanding a ten-man exploration team to prepare to parachute, the two witches who had walked to the edge of the ship suddenly changed their faces and shouted "enemy attack".
At this time, there was a sudden sound of ......arrows breaking through the air above the sky.
A large shower of enchanted arrows glowing with a magical luster rained down on Grim and the others......
