Chapter 289
Zhang Qian and Xu Min looked up at the huge Well of the Sun, and at this time they couldn't help but feel that there was really such a magical place in this world, even now, the Well of the Sun had been corroded like this. Zhang Qian could clearly feel the energy fluctuations and life breath in the Well of the Sun.
Zhang Qian looked at the magnificence in front of him, and his body couldn't help but want to get close to it. As soon as he took two steps forward, he was stopped by the guards beside him.
"Can't get close to the Well of the Sun!" the guard said coldly, it seemed that everyone in his eyes was a threatening existence, the dagger in his hand was already tightly gripped, as long as Zhang Qian took another step forward, I believe that this guard would directly attack Zhang Qian.
The elven queen scolded at this time: "This is our honored guest, don't be rude!"
"Queen, I know their guests, but the Well of the Sun is the root of my people. One of the most basic provisions of the Elven Code is that no one is allowed to approach the Well of the Sun for half a step except for the Elven royal family and elders. "I originally thought that this guard would immediately get out of the way under the scolding of the elf queen, but I didn't expect that this would be the result, even if it was the elf queen, at this time, she couldn't let this guard guarding the well of the sun give in half a point, which shows the high status of the well of the sun.
Zhang Qian said with a smile: "Since that's the case, then I can't go, it's okay, I just had some curiosity." ”
The elf queen apologized to Zhang Qian, and then looked at the guards again, revealing a trace of cold killing intent in her eyes. Obviously, the guards saw it, but they still didn't say anything, just dutifully guarding the holy land of the elves.
"As you can see, our Well of the Sun has been corroded to such an extent that the terrible purple liquid is constantly corroded, and every time my people use magic and power, their bodies will be corrupted by this terrible purple liquid. But we can't leave here, so please save the Well of the Sun and save my people. The elven queen's expression quickly turned into a distressed look, if it weren't for Xu Min and Zhang Qian pointing out many doubts before, telling him that the elven clan was problematic, Zhang Qian would definitely be deceived by the elf queen's appearance at this time.
But even so, Zhang Qian still followed the elf queen's words.
"Rest assured, Queen, if I have the ability to save this Well of the Sun, I will do my best. ”
The Elven Queen lowered her head, and no one could see what the Elven Queen's expression looked like, but there was a hint of joy in her voice: "Really? Then I am here to represent my people in advance Thank you for your help." ”

【Northwest Fortress?Dawning City】
Dawning City was originally the second largest city in the northwest fortress of the Rice Empire, second only to the existence of the Holy Light City, and was a heavily guarded and heavily garrisoned place in the Rice Empire. Moreover, now that the Rice Empire and the Lyman Empire are now in a state of war, Dawning City at this time should be strictly guarded.
But today in Dawning City is very lively and chaotic, not because of anything else, but because the army of the Orc Empire has invaded Dawning City at this time. With the number of defenses and defenders in Dawning City, it was impossible for the orc army to enter Dawning City in such a short period of time. However, a traitor appeared in Dawn, and with his help, the orc army managed to break through the defense of the city walls, forcing the defenders of Dawning to enter into a white-knuckle battle with the orcs.
Fortunately, there were a large number of defenders in Dawning City, and under the onslaught of the 100,000 orc army, they forced the orc army out of the city and successfully defended Dawning City. After this battle, 50,000 orcs in the orc army stayed in Dawn City forever, and Dawn City was even more miserable, the 300,000 Dawn defenders were sharply reduced to 170,000, and in today's battle, there were 130,000 troops killed directly in battle, and countless wounded.
Now the city defense officer of Dawning City is personally urging the army to overhaul the city defenses and step up the construction of fortifications in case of the next attack by the orc army.

【Northwest Fortress?Holy Light City】
Marshal Cage had just finished reading the battle report in his hand, put it on the table, and then looked up at Linus, who was sitting on the side.
"In the battle of Dawning City, the Rice Empire lost 130,000 troops, while we lost 50,000 orc troops, and they temporarily held Dawning City, with heavy casualties on both sides. Marshal Cage said lightly, and there seemed to be no regret for the loss of the orc army.
Linus picked up the battle report on the table, glanced at it quickly, and said, "Well, the plan is well done, the next thing is the tug-of-war in Dawning City, just leave these to Fett and them." We're ready for the next step. ”
"Well, that's what I thought too. Marshal Cage nodded, then took a sip of the hot tea that was placed on the table. At this time, Linus inadvertently glanced at the teacup in Cage's hand, and saw that the teacup was not tea at all, but a red liquid.
At this time, suddenly there was a sharp knock on the door, interrupting their conversation. Cage frowned and said, "Come in." ”
Outside the gate, an orc who looked like a herald hurriedly rushed in, half-knelt on the ground and said, "Marshal, the city gate was attacked by unknown people, and there were heavy casualties. ”
"What!" Cage stood up in shock. Although Linus on the side did not get up suddenly like Cage at this time, his eyes still revealed unusual surprise when he looked at Cage.
……
Soon the two of them came to the city gate, only to see a large number of orc warriors surrounding a woman, and this woman was protected by countless vines and thorns, making it impossible for these orc warriors to get close at all. There were countless corpses of orc warriors lying on the ground, and it could be described as a river of blood.
When Marshal Cage saw such a scene, he was horrified: "This woman did this?"
The general in charge of the defense of the city gate knelt on the ground at this time, and said with some embarrassment: "Yes, marshal. When we found this woman just now, she was preparing to enter the city, and when we were carrying out the routine inspection procedures, for some reason, this woman went crazy and killed all the soldiers who were in charge of guarding the city gate at that time, and the soldiers who came to support after that also suffered heavy casualties. ”
Marshal Cage glanced at Linus, and then said lightly: "Okay, I know, you let these warriors retreat, and the rest will be left to me and the Holy Son." ”
After hesitating for a moment, the city guard replied, "Yes, marshal." ”
