Chapter 168: On the eve of the decisive battle
From that day on, everyone on Lin Qian's side began to get busy, and the canyon was temporarily closed to the public, and they could only go out and not enter unless they joined Lin Qian's recruiting army. The mercenaries who had tasted enough of the sweetness knew that a large number of fierce beasts would attack in a month, and finally knew the reason why Lin Qian set up a mercenary town here.
All kinds of magic materials are consumed very quickly during this period, and building a teleportation circle from the outskirts of the forest to the top of the mountain, as well as from the top of the mountain to Feynman City, requires a large amount of magic crystals and other materials. The manufacturing room no longer produces magic staff and holy relics, but instead starts to make magic crystal cannons, which are transported by the dragons to various battle sites on the top of the mountain.
This period of time is the most frequent contact between humans and dragons, and it is really exciting to be hung to the top of the mountain by dragons with dragon claws, but fortunately, most of the people left by the dragon lord are female dragons, on the one hand, they are more convinced of Ysera, and on the other hand, in order to preserve the bloodline of the dragons, so as not to die in the tragic hand-to-hand combat in the south.
Because the trees on the periphery of the Everfree Forest have long been cut down and destroyed, if there is an army of beasts appearing, it can be seen from a long distance and prepare in advance, Adler is leading many students of the High School of Magic to set up magic array traps on these open spaces, waiting for the army of beasts to come and throw a net.
Everything was in full swing, and when the war was about to start, Lin Qian made another crazy decision to expand the width of the canyon to nearly two kilometers, and at the same time he secretly transferred most of the belongings and crystal nuclei in the magic guild here, leaving behind an almost empty shell building.
The messenger of the elven clan came two days ago, and soon Lin Qian received a letter from Nanyang Portlem, saying that he wanted to raise a large army to assist Lin Qian in fighting against the violent beasts.
"Hmph, it's clear that it's just an excuse to come here and attack while we're unprepared. Elena pouted and puffed out.
"No, I think they're really going to fight those beasts when they're coming, and I've said they're a big help. Lin Qian threw the letter directly into the trash and said a little mysteriously.
"Brother Lin, what are your plans?"
"You'll know when the time comes, I'm afraid you won't act like you, so I can't tell you in advance. Lin Qian smiled and scratched her little Qiong's nose and began to reply to Nanyang.
In the letter, Lin Qian first expressed his gratitude in a fake way, then refused under the pretext of excuses, then sneered at Portlem for his bad intentions, and finally pointed out that Sang scolded Huaidi and scolded human beings for being cruel by nature, and still only cared about their own interests and killed each other when they invaded from other places, which was really hateful.
Nanyang received the reply here, and naturally his attitude towards Lin Qian was clear at a glance, and when he got the news that there seemed to be signs of a large number of magicians being transferred in the wilderness, Archer was even more convinced that Lin Qian was afraid.
"Grandpa, no matter what the purpose of the elves this time is, this is indeed a good opportunity to destroy Lin Qian, let's go all the way, wait and see from the periphery first, and then find an excuse to kill them when they fight with the beasts. ”
"Don't underestimate Lin Qian, he dared to easily promise the dragon clan to fight against the beasts, he should have been ready for a long time, and we will come. I think this letter is trying to get away with it, and wants to lead us there. Potlime saw through Lin Qian's plan at a glance.
"But he's already going to use all his strength just to deal with the beasts, so how can he have the strength to deal with us?"
"That's what I can't figure out, unless ......" Portlem gave Achill a deep look.
"Grandpa, do you mean the elven clan?" Achill was shocked in his heart, with such a * in the past, in case they temporarily turned against the water, wouldn't it be a dilemma inside and outside.
"You put them in a team, and I have my own plans when the time comes. ”
"Yes, my grandson understands. "Achill knows that his grandfather has always been a cautious and cautious person, even if there is only a little hidden danger, he must cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and it is estimated that the life of those elves will not be good.
Archell, who was in a heavy mood, walked back to the room and saw Biya showing a slight reluctant smile, he was a person of great affection, and he couldn't bear to bring Biya to the battlefield, let alone send her to death with his own hands, so this time he made a selfish decision.
"In a few days, we're going to march on the march, don't you have anything to say?"
"Me?" Biya thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Yes, this battle shouldn't be easy, we still follow the previous plan, you resist head-on, and we will do the raid." ”
"What else?" Archer clearly didn't want to hear that.
Biya reacted very quickly, stepped forward and snuggled in Achill's arms, and said softly: "You have to pay attention to safety, don't rush to the front, I can arrange a few sisters to protect you." ”
Achill laughed, but the laughter was chilling.
Biya felt a little uneasy: "What's wrong?".
"It's rare that you care about me so much, in fact, I'm also worried about your safety, so I've arranged a team of guards to protect you all day, and this time you don't need to go to the battlefield, just stay here. There was an unmistakable tone in Archer's voice.
Biya was stunned, he didn't care about her safety, but he didn't trust her at all and wanted to put her under house arrest.
"So you've been guarding against me?" Biya's eyes were only full of deep puzzlement and doubt, she didn't expect that the person who shared the bed with her day and night would have been guarding against her.
"You too," said Achill indifferently, "though I don't know what your purpose is, one thing is for sure, it's not that simple. From the moment Meryl found me, your plans began to unfold, and I felt like I was stepping into a trap you had already laid for a long time. ”
"Why do you think that? You are personally following us in action, and we have a common enmity with Lin Qian. Biya didn't expect Archer to have such a deep mind, she really underestimated him.
"I was convinced, from Meryl's attitude towards those beasts, to her dislike of mercenaries, to her design to capture the people around Lin Qian, but what is the result? I believe that you have planned for so long, you will not make mistakes easily, how can you be forced into no way to escape by those dragons? Lin Qian has nothing to lose from beginning to end, even if there is ...... It's just ...... I even think that you and Lin Qian are in the same group, and this play is just for me to see. ”
Biya was completely panicked, Achill's guess was right, they didn't need Achill's help if they wanted to enter the canyon, the reason why they found him was nothing more than to pull him into the water, and at the same time make him believe that his goal was Lin Qian. And to reach an agreement with Lin Qian, it is necessary to make Lin Qian think that he has an important bargaining chip - the elf princess, who is really completely kept in the dark during the whole operation. The queen's ambition is too strong, and she even does not hesitate to sacrifice the princess, who has always been disobedient, to ensure that this operation can be successful. The only people who knew the whole plan were Meryl and Biya, and they arranged everything, and even arranged for a male elf to enter Xiao Yi's room in front of Achill, in order to convince Achill that there was no way for them and Lin Qian to unite.
However, Biya firmly believes that this is all Archier's speculation, and even if he gets closer to the truth, he cannot be sure, nor can he deny all the facts that are happening in front of him.
After calming down for a while, Biya said calmly: "I don't know why you have this idea, if you really don't believe me, I can stay here and not go anywhere, even those elven guards who have come over the mountains and mountains, you can imprison them all, I believe that you Nanyang definitely have this kind of strength." ”
To be honest, Archer did have this idea, but he chose to believe that the elves of more than 100 people would definitely be squeezed out of the last value of Potlem, and then ruthlessly abandoned.
"Actually, I don't let you go, it's really for your good. Only he understood the meaning of this sentence.
Achill turned around and walked out of the room, and then a group of magicians surrounded the whole room outside the door, and Biya knew that this time Achill was ruthless, and it would be difficult for her to get in touch with her guards.
"Forget it, these clansmen are all victims anyway, even myself, and I'm the safest here. Biya thought for a moment and lay down on the bed in peace, but her long ears were pricked up, listening to all the movement outside, including the faint sound of footsteps and the breath of breathing.
Whether it was Lin Qian or Nanyang's side, they had made the final preparations before the battle came, they all knew that this was a battle that could defeat each other in one fell swoop, but at the same time, they were also worried about the rebellion of the elven clan. Lin Qian always felt that the chip in his hand was not so important to the elven clan, would they really not be treacherous? He held the magic array map marked by Adler on the map in his hand, and after thinking about it, he decided to believe it once, and handed it to the two elven messengers who came to exchange information.
"This is for you, this is the magic circle I set up on the outskirts of the forest, you should be able to avoid it with a little attention. By the way, why is this companion of yours dressed like this?" Lin Qian couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw that one of the two messengers was wearing only a cloak, and the other had only two eyes on his entire face.
"What's the matter? Lin Gongzi forgot about me so quickly?" The elf, wrapped like a dumpling, uncovered the fabric layer by layer, and a chuckle hung on a beautiful face.
"Meryl?" Lin Qian was taken aback, why did she, as the commander of this operation, come at this time?
"I know you won't be reassured, so I'm here to take you hostage, just ...... Don't do anything to me like you did last time. Meryl smiled a little seductively, and with the content of her words, it had to make people think about it.
Lin Qian's heart was settled, and he joked: "It seems that I have completely memorized the charge of uniting foreign clans to deal with my fellow clans." ”
"It's not just you, it's me. Meryl's smile lacked a hint of inexplicable sadness.
