When Ellene and the others saw the border city of Cormier from afar with the tide of refugees, it was already the evening of the third day before the outbreak of the demon tide.

This is an almost impossible miracle for ordinary humans:

From Cyberholm along the Moonsea Road to Tifanton, a two-and-a-half-day rapid march of nearly five hundred kilometers!

In such an era, only these forest darlings may be able to persevere, especially if they have to fight to the death with scattered demons along the way.

And even if there were 'Levi's' who fought for them the most precious four hours, when the more than 100,000 fleeing teams composed of elves and half-elves were left, only less than half were left.

Of the more than 200,000 Valley humans who joined halfway, there were less than 20,000 left... It can be seen how tragic this road is.

Ellene's eyes were dry and swollen, and many times along the way, she watched almost without her eyes as the fleeing procession was suddenly blocked by the demons and the crowd was scattered.

Many people died tragically on the spot, while many more were scattered by the demons, left behind, and disappeared.

Missing in the invasion of the demon army, the probability of surviving to some extent is not very high.

The combat power of the humanoid creatures in the main material realm and the abyssal demon species is not in the same dimension at all, and a sudden encounter in the wild, without the protection of any fortifications, often means the beginning of a bloody massacre.

But Lovely El Lini can only tell herself rationally, can't stop, can't stop!

Once they stop, they will only drag more compatriots into the bottomless tide of darkness, and will only make the golden four hours that Levi helped them fight for in vain!

It's just that when they really persevered all the way and arrived at their destination alive, they were inexplicably a little dazed and apprehensive.

"Sister Ellene, will the humans of Cormier really let us in?" asked Sylvarras Windwhisperer suddenly.

Her younger sister Wen Rena also raised her red and swollen eyes, and after the eldest sister Orianna 'disappeared' for them, Erleni seemed to have become the only remaining spiritual support for the two sisters.

And this is also a concern in the hearts of the vast majority of the team.

Although more than 1,200 years ago, humans and elves set up standing stones of peaceful coexistence on the road of the moon sea, symbolizing the equal coexistence of humans and elves and the common reclamation of civilization, the era of valley reclamation began.

But with the collapse of Mistrono and the passage of time, the original agreement has long since become a dead letter, and the contradictions between the two races have been accumulated for a long time.

It's just that due to the barrier of the large forest of Comanso, the elves are reluctant to step out of the forest, and the human cavalry is not suitable for mountain combat, let alone set foot in the elves' lost locks to fight away, so the contradiction between the two has not turned into a war.

But even so, the culture of keeping half-elf slaves among the Cormier aristocracy and even the middle class has long caused a long-standing separation between humans and half-elves abroad.

After nearly 50 generations of continuous 'encroachment' and reproduction, the number of half-elves in the entire Cormir country is likely to have reached between 8% and 10%.

That is, there may be more than 800,000 to a million half-elves with thin bloodlines, who have been living silently at the bottom of the Cormier Kingdom, or living as slaves attached to human families.

Many of them are half-elves, accustomed to this invisible distinction of identity, and some are even proud to be born as a 'Cormier'... Proud to serve some famous nobles...

This is also the root cause of Erlene's confusion and frustration, who had just arrived in Cormier.

In the face of such a huge and arrogant kingdom, in the face of this long-ingrained class division and people's hearts, she has no way to start alone.

Sometimes you even want to 'liberate' her and give her freedom, but the other party thinks that you are a psychopath, depriving her of a warm place and a stable life...

That year, Ellene arrived at the center of the world's civilization with great ambition, and left disheartened, and went to her parents' hometown of Comanso, where she became a member of the Cormier slave hunt.

It can be said that in the past 30 years, there have been many Cormiers who have died at her hands, and there are even some noble children who like to participate in the 'forest hunting project' to enjoy fresh prey.

So in some of Cormier's taverns, her 'Scarlet Thorns' Erlene has never been taken down.

To a certain extent, their behavior at this moment is 'throwing themselves into the net'!

But in order for more people to survive, they are now... There are simply no more options...

On the contrary, it is a question of whether the Cormirs are willing to let these 'bloody-armed insurgents' into the city.

But when they fought the demons all the way, they arrived at Tifanton City and were shocked to find that the Cormiers had not only opened the gates early, but the commander of the Tivanton garrison had led a purple dragon guard to meet them at the city gate.

After Elini had dropped a Quasdemon, she hurried to the commander of the garrison, and stretched out her bloodstained and fishy hand and said:

"Your Highness Altais, I have heard of your good name for a long time, thank you for your response and help, your generosity and open-mindedness, I feel guilty about the prejudice that Cormier has always had. ”

This Cormier prince did not have the slightest aristocratic cleanliness and exquisiteness, and he also stretched out his hand and shook it vigorously with Ellene, and took a deep look at this 'Comanso Scarlet Thorn', and said:

"Don't mind, before that, I was also committed to scandalizing your existence in my education, but your heroic posture in fighting demons behind your palace, regardless of human and elf rescue, also makes me a Cormier with deep respect!

"Hurry up and enter the city, the city has prepared some clean water and food for you, and we will leave the rest here.

"I will do my best to pick up every fleeing to Cormier before the main demon force arrives. ”

This scene immediately complicated the hearts of many 'reactionary half-elves', as if they saw the scene of humans and elves shaking hands in front of the standing stone thousands of years ago and making peace again.

In the past, in the eyes of many extremist elves and half-elves, humans have never been friendly neighbors, especially the Cormiers, who claim to be descendants of the purple dragon.

Earlier in the Era of Valley Reclamation, the forest kingdom between Thundering Peak and Stormhorn Mountains was once the domain of dragons.

The most powerful of them all was none other than an extremely rare purple dragon——— Sagroli Morvales.

It is rumored that they are the same as the Orange Dragon and the Yellow Dragon, and they are the descendants of the three-tailed dragon queen who created before her death to take revenge on Tiamat.

The elves who settled here found themselves in the midst of a battle with the dragon, which ended in a duel known as the Feint of Honor under the leadership of the lord of the king, Elf Ilfa Neruaf, in a duel known as the Feint of Honor, after defeating Sagroli Morrrys.

But no sooner had the elves driven the dragon away than the humans from Turmis and Jondas drove the weakened elves back from Cormier's present-day borders into the Great Forest of Comanso.

Despite the opposition of his elven wife Susala, Ondas the Pioneer claimed to be a descendant of the Purple Dragon, and named the legion... Purple Dragon Legion.

And his son Vershan also preserved this name after the official establishment of Cormier, causing Susara to leave this country that was not destined to belong to the elves with remorse and sadness.

No one would have thought that today, more than a thousand years later, elves and humans would shake hands and fight hand in hand again because of the invasion of demons.

But in the face of the kindness of this Cormier prince, Ellene firmly shook her head and refused.

In Altaïs's puzzled eyes, the half-elf looked at the north, which was full of sparks and wolf smoke, and pursed his lips:

"No, I'm going to wait for a few 'people' here.

"If it weren't for the fact that they stubbornly held back the tide of demons in the valley for four hours...

"I'm afraid that none of our refugees will be able to reach Tifanton City to accept His Highness's asylum. ”

The surrounding Purple Dragon Guards immediately showed shocked and incredulous expressions, and Master Susar's eyes were even more questioning.

In his opinion, even a few legendary mages like him would not be able to defend for four hours under such a demonic attack.

Even if it's true, will this group of people survive it?

But Altais was in awe, pulled out the knight's sword with a bang, and said in a deep voice:

"Well, such a warrior should not be buried in such an unprovoked calamity.

"If you have the slightest opportunity, you shouldn't give it up.

"I'm here with you to pick them up. ”

As soon as they heard that their prince was going to stay at the most dangerous city gate, the Purple Dragon Guards, including Susar, were immediately shocked.

"Your Highness Altais!

Susar immediately wanted to strangle the half-elf who had bewitched the prince, and then tie the stubborn prince back to the city.

"This is the decision I've made Altes Yasan Obiszir!" Altais said to have put on the honor and disgrace of his great surname.

Susar almost wanted to vomit blood, but he could only take a deep breath and bow down:

"Follow your will!"

And this wait, it is nearly two hours.

As time went on and night fell, more and more scattered demons came towards Tivanton, and even a small wave of demons began to appear, which also made it difficult for the archers and militia in the city to deal with it.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

The bell tower at the head of the city suddenly began to emit a tight and gripping roar.

Everyone's hearts tightened, and they all looked towards the sky.

Sure enough, I saw the horizon in the distance, and began to raise the noisy dust and smoke, and the endless black tide...

For the first time, the humans of the Korrell Continent have seen the demonic assault from the bloody battlefield...

Although, strictly speaking, no one knows at this time... They're just... It was a team that was defeated by the devils on the battlefield and strayed into the main material plane... The Devil's Rout...

But this is hardly a terrible force that human beings can resist!

Even some of the militiamen with spears at the head of the city began to tremble with their hands and feet.

"Your Highness!" Master Susar urged, even more violently.

"Wait a little longer!" Altais said.

Three minutes later, the figures of the demons in front of them became clearly visible.

Just when Master Susar couldn't help but urge again, Altais took the initiative to say to the pale Elleni on the side:

"I'm sorry, it seems that those warriors did not survive, and if we are lucky enough to return alive after the war, I will write a book about their deeds, and let the bards spread the story of their solitary struggle against the tide of darkness in Comanso.

"As much as I would like to wait a little longer for a miracle to happen, as the commander of the Tivanton garrison, I am responsible for the safety of the soldiers and subjects in the city.

"Come back to the city with me. ”

Ellene opened her mouth, but she didn't have the strength to make a sound, and the Sylvaras sisters on the side felt it even more, and their eyes were slightly red.

"Close the gates!"

With Prince Cormir's order.

The two wooden bridges in front of the moat began to slowly lift and separate.

Their horizons narrowed with the clanging of chains and gears.

But at this moment, a dazzling thunderbolt suddenly erupted from the dense tide of demons, and hundreds of demons suddenly exploded and turned into ashes.

In everyone's incredulous gaze, it was like a black tide suddenly splashing a wave, and poof, in the middle of the demon army, there was actually a tattered steam chariot that seemed to fall apart at any time!

The chariot rushed out of the hillside, slammed back to the ground with a bang, and staggered out of an extremely turbulent S trajectory, but there were still many powerful demons around the body, constantly climbing upward.

And on top of the chariot, there was a figure that kept slashing and slashing the demons that jumped on the body and knocking them under the car.

It's two!

One of the Elven Ranger wields a pair of waning moon-like blades, like a dancer in a deadly dance, blooming in the slaughter!

And behind him, there was a monster that looked like an octopus, and it was also dragging four broken blades full of gaps to continuously slash and kill the demons who came to attack.

"It's them!"

The sisters Ellene and Sylvaras lunged forward in unison, and then said to Prince Cormier in ecstasy:

"Your Highness!" motioned for him to close the gates later.

But Altaïs observed the distance between the Demon Tide and Tivanton City, shook his head in a deep voice and vetoed:

"No... It's too late..."

There was a deathly silence at the gates.

It's like feeling sorry for these warriors.

But at this moment, I don't know if the 'driver' of the steam locomotive also realized this, and suddenly there was a 180-degree drift in the wasteland, and the whole body turned around, and the front of the locomotive accumulated a blazing and dangerous fire.

Then a dragon's roar exploded over the mountain pass:

"The energy is at its best!

"Always be ready to perish!

"Taste the baptism of fire!

"Bugs from the abyss!

"Roar !!!!"
