The Elven Fleet suffered its first defeat at sea, which dealt a great blow to the confidence and morale of the Elven Legion.

So on the third day after the end of the Battle of Shengdong Island, the elves sent their messengers. The emissary wanted to negotiate on behalf of Lacles, the commander of the fleet, and brought with him the remains of the blessed and canonized who had died on the Isle of the Blade.

So they were able to disembark from the ship under the angry gaze of hundreds of people, and strode to the Ruble Pier on the island of St. Dong.

Then they met on the dock with Bishop Li Qi, the green-robed bishop who presided over the Church's overseas affairs, and Lin Shui, who was disfigured in the Battle of Shengfeng Island. Therefore, when these elven envoys stepped closer, Lin Shui directly drew the long sword at his waist.

This gesture of attacking before he could say anything startled the elven envoys in front of him, because these elven envoys had all seen Lin Shui and understood what kind of great power he had.

Therefore, when Lin Shui drew his sword, the elven envoys hurriedly raised their hands and put on a gesture of weakness: "The purpose of our trip is peace, not war. Calm your anger and hear us out. ”

The elves stumbled over the human lingua franca, but they really didn't have a good grasp of the human lingua franca at this time, so much so that a sentence was inevitably mixed with a lot of elven words.

But this is not a big deal, the two sides have been fighting for so long, and Li Qi and the others have already learned Elven language. Listening is completely understandable.

But if you can understand it, Li Qi at this time obviously disdains to use elven language to communicate with these elven messengers in front of him.

So as soon as his eyes widened, Li Qi still spoke in the common language of mankind: "Hand over the remains of those who died in battle to us, and then you despicable and shameless bastards can leave." Until hatred is completely washed away by blood, there can be no peace between us!"

With that, with a wave of her hand, Lin Shui, who was holding a long sword on the side, directly used the long sword in her hand to drive away these elf messengers in front of her. So when these grizzled elven envoys returned, Lacles, who was stationed on the island of St. East, knew that the next battle was inevitable.

But how do you defeat a human fleet with artillery?

Now, it is impossible for the Admiralty of the Elven Empire to support them anymore. Because the Admiralty of the Elven Empire is accountable to their Emperor and Council. But neither the emperor nor the parliament wanted to fight a difficult but beneficial war.

So as soon as he thought of it, Lacles, who was deep in the city, couldn't help but clench his fists and scolded: "Who wants to fight a war that is difficult but has no substantial benefits. But whether I want to fight such a war or not now is no longer up to me!"

He admits that he has been cornered at this point.

Even if you don't want to go on anymore, as long as the human side doesn't stop, the war can only continue. And what's even more difficult is that in the face of this kind of hard war that he no longer wants to fight, Lacles, as the supreme commander of the elven overseas fleet, can't afford to lose. Otherwise, even if he is of honorable status, he will be sent to a military court.

And although according to the rules of the Elven Empire, the court trial is that it is impossible to kill a nobleman like him no matter what. But it's also okay to keep Lacles permanently confined in his small fiefdom.

Then he clenched his fists again, and Lacles stared at the chart on the table in front of him and said, "Since you don't want peace, then come." I will make this island an insurmountable fortress.

Proud and arrogant stupid aliens, I'm sure you'll have your heads blown to pieces in front of this fortress. At that time, I will see if you want peace or war!"

As he spoke, an angry Lacles slammed the table with his fist. So next, the elves on the island also launched an operation under the command of Lacles.

Now, they really want to build the entire island into a fortress. As a result, the noble royal mages also took action, and they laid a large number of magic traps on the island's suitable beaches for logging.

There was ice, and there was fire, and there was thunder. Then the elven craftsmen who accompanied the army created a lot of heavy ranged weapons.

Although the elves of this world have not mastered gunpowder technology, the forging technology and other military technologies of the elves should not be underestimated. No, in order to better defend the island, their craftsmen came up with the idea of designing the Flying Blade Car.

This thing is capable of firing a circular flying blade with a diameter of one meter three hundred meters away. In terms of distance, although it is still not as far as that of artillery, it is also much farther than most spell attacks.

So to some extent, the invention of the Flying Blade Car can be regarded as making up for the lack of elves in long-range attacks to a certain extent. However, due to the influence of inherent cultural thinking, the elves still trust their mages more than technological products such as the Takeoff Blade Car.

Because the Elven Empire is also known as the Magic Empire.

In such a country, even though the elves are pursuing a constitutional monarchy with an emperor and a parliament. However, as long as they are detected to have a casting talent at birth, the elf with the casting talent will be born superior.

And the reason for this may be because the Elven Empire was created by a group of spellcasters at the beginning of its creation.

Therefore, whether it is an Imperial official or a member of the Imperial Parliament, it is open to mages first. Among them, especially the members of the Imperial Parliament, only elven mages with spell-casting abilities are accepted.

Naturally, under the influence of education and inheritance, there is a blind superstition within the Elven Empire about the caster.

So much so that many low-level elves, that is, ordinary people who have no talent for spell-casting and no other privileges, even think that the casters who rule them are intelligent, wise, and omnipotent.

Therefore, the Elven Empire does not worship gods, but worships magic. And the elves' worship of magic has reached the point of paranoia.

So there is a saying in today's elven empire, "Everything in the world cannot be solved by magic." ”

Therefore, even though the elven craftsmen invented the flying blade car, this type of weapon was not widely equipped.

"Defeating enemies and destroying opponents from a distance has been a task for spellcasters since ancient times, and spellcasters have always done a perfect job of this. Commander, there's really no point in letting those craftsmen build these flashy blades. My elf empire has its own national conditions. ”

A quote from an elven mage elder from the Royal Mage Order. As a result, the original plan to build more than 200 flying blades was reduced to 50. Lacles, as the Legion Commander, is also a member of the caster class, so it's no surprise that he made this choice.

But in this way, after the battle for the recovery of Saintblade Island was officially started, the elves also tasted the bitterness.

After arriving on Shengfeng Island, the human fleet led by Green-robed Bishop Li Qi quickly destroyed most of the flying blade cars equipped by the elves on the dock with the long-range attack of the ship's artillery, even if some of them were fighting against the elves' blade cars.

The ensuing battle really turned out to be a complete one-sided.

Under the long-range attack of artillery, the island elves can only be beaten and have no way to fight back. Therefore, don't look at the solid iron ball fired by the artillery, which does not cause much substantial damage.

However, after more than an hour, the bombardment that could only be beaten and unable to fight back was devastating to the morale of the elves. The island elves are knocked unconscious by the cannonballs. So much so that in the later beach landing battle, many blessed and canonized people had already washed ashore by boat, and the mages and elven warriors on the shore remembered to fight back.

Arrows, fireballs, ice blades, and lightning struck Lin Shui and them all in one go. But the witches who had been prepared for this for a long time immediately erected the barrier against it.

This seemingly menacing attack didn't do much damage. As the witches worked together to prop up the transparent barrier, the elves' arrows fell to the ground as if they had been tied to a heavy object.

And as for those magical attacks, those attacks were mostly weakened by six or seven percent after passing through this transparent barrier. With such a great weakening, it is only natural that these attacks will not be able to do any substantial damage to the blessed ones who wield extraordinary powers.

Unless some blessed person is extremely unlucky and is set on fire by the magic attack sent by the elven mage. Otherwise, these attacks, which are only three or four percent of the original power, are completely deadly to the vast majority of blessed beings.

Finally, as for the magic traps that the elven mages had laid before, under the previous round of bombardment, these traps had already been destroyed by the solid iron balls shot out by the artillery. It is no longer able to exert the desired effect.

So just a few breaths later, Lin Shui, who took the lead in the charge, also held a long sword and slashed into the elven military formation.

He was originally the commander of the defense of the Holy Edge, but the Holy Edge fell under his command. This matter has always been a thorn in Lin Shui's heart, and it has always tormented him.

Every time in the dead of night, Lin Shui's mind would involuntarily conjure up the scene of the second fierce battle on Shengfeng Island.

Countless elven warriors poured in from the sea, using their weapons to brutally slay a brave and tenacious Blessed One. And every blessed person is a subordinate of him, the commander of Blade Island, and even many of them can be called by name at a glance.

But when these people died in front of Lin Shui, Lin Shui couldn't do anything at the beginning.

Thinking of this, the remorse and anger in Lin Shui's heart seemed to devour his whole person. Therefore, after he took the lead in rushing into the elven army, he began to kill in all directions with a long sword in hand.

The sharp sword slashed through the throats of the heavily armed elven warriors, scarlet hot blood splattered out, and the elven warriors' heads were cut off with their hands.

Then the long sword in his hand stabbed out like a poisonous snake, and the sharp long sword pierced the heart of an elven warrior, and cleanly took the elven warrior's life. ’

Therefore, don't look at the elven warriors in all directions, all of them are attacking him, but no one can hurt him. It wasn't until Elway, one of the commanders of the Elven Legion, could no longer sit idly by and watch his people being slaughtered by Lin Shui, so he grabbed his staff and joined the battle, which allowed those elven warriors who were targeted by Lin Shui to escape with their lives.

But in this regard, Lin Shui, who was holding a long sword, smiled at this time. As one of the commanders of the Elven Legion, Elway was far superior prey in his eyes than ordinary Elven warriors. It is also a better object for revenge.

So when Elway appeared in Lin Shui's field of vision, Lin Shui roared angrily and rushed towards Elway, without saying a word of nonsense.

And Elway is no different. At this time, facing Lin Shui, who was charging at him, he didn't say any nonsense. The battle of words is meaningless on the battlefield of life and death.

At this time, seeing that Lin Shui was getting closer and closer, Elway, who was holding the staff, just quickly spit out a series of spells. Then, as his spell fell, flames enveloped his body.

Then the flames transformed, and a terrifying flaming python appeared. However, when the Flame Python appeared, Lin Shui's anger was also catalyzed to the limit. Because the flaming python in front of him was too familiar to him.

In the previous battle, I don't know how many blessed people died at the hands of this flame python. Therefore, he roared angrily, and at the moment when the Flame Python appeared and pounced on Lin Shui, the angry Lin Shui directly slashed at the head of the Flame Python with the long sword in his hand.

"Die, you monster!"

He focused all his strength on this sword. The long sword swung out from top to bottom, and the air around him was cut in half with a single sword. Yes, it is a sword cut in half.

I saw that with the long sword in his hand as the center, powerful waves of qi struck both sides. So the earth was cut apart by the wind, as if it had been plowed by something.

This sword, the aftermath of it is still like this, how terrifying should the power of the long sword itself be?

Nobody knows. But the blessed ones and elven warriors around them then saw that under Lynch's sword, the giant python with a flaming body was immediately cut in half from its head.

And what's even more incredible is that the cut made by the longsword is smooth and flat. At that moment, the Flame Python felt as if it was not made of flames, but of flesh and blood.

But in the next instant, the flaming python that had been cut in half exploded.

"Boom!" with a loud bang, and the entire Flame Python exploded from beginning to end. But the aftermath of its explosion is still powerful and terrifying.

Anyway, after the explosion of this flame python, except for the neighboring Lin Shui, there was no big problem because of his strong individual strength. The remaining elven warriors who were relatively close were all blown up to ashes.
