Senna, who was standing at the head of Fort Glory, watched the orc army retreat, his frown finally relaxed, and he let out a long breath.

"Except for the warriors who remain at the head of the city, go and rest, but everyone must be vigilant, as there may be when the orcs will attack again. Senna looked around at the daily mercenary warriors at the head of the city and said in a deep voice.

The terrible battle that took place that night ended for the time being.

After a night of fighting, the tired mercenary soldiers quickly fell asleep after returning to the barracks. However, at this time, Senna was not sleepy, he did not walk down the city, returned to his room to rest, but looked at the orc camp in the distance at the head of the city, while thinking about how to break the enemy.

After thinking about it for a long time, Senna still hadn't figured out how to defeat the orcs outside the city, and it seemed that there was no other way than to hold on to the city.

However, under the attack of the orcs, how long can Fort Glory hold out? In the past, when this situation occurred, other mercenary groups on the grassland would rush to support each other, but now that the orcs have enough military strength, they will launch an all-round attack on the mercenary groups all over the grassland.

Thinking of this, the joy of repelling the orcs tonight faded away, and the melancholy gripped Senna's face again.

"Whatever, if you can hold on to it for a day, if you really can't hold on anymore, you can quit Glory Castle! Anyway, with the strength of the orcs in their early 20,000s, it is impossible to surround Glory Castle into an iron bucket, and there is still hope of breaking through!" Senna comforted himself.

Just as Senna was worried, a few meters behind him, a daily mercenary soldier standing at the head of the city suddenly let out an exclamation: "What is that thing in the sky?"

Senna turned his head and looked at the sky, only to see a huge black shadow coming from the south of Fort Glory in the dark sky, passing over Fort Glory, and then he saw a figure leap down from the body of the huge black shadow and came straight to Fort Glory.

As an elf, Senna was born with excellent night vision, so Senna could see the huge black shadow in the sky as it passed by Fort Glory. It was a huge flying beast with a lion's head, a sheep's body, a snake's tail, and bat's wings. And what makes this flying beast particularly unique is that its huge head, which looks like a lion's head, actually has two heads.

"How could a Chimera be here?" exclaimed Senna when she recognized the origin of the flying beast. Then he saw a little beneath his feet, like a goshawk, swooping down from the head of Glory Castle, and falling into the inner city, and then ran with all his might, toward the place where the figure had fallen from the Chimera.

As Senna approached the place where the figure had fallen, he heard a commotion. As Senna turned around a street corner, he suddenly saw a group of day-catching mercenary warriors armed with flickering torches in the street in front of him, forming a circle and surrounding someone.

It turned out that this group of daily mercenary soldiers were patrolling the nearby streets just now, and they also spotted the figure falling from the sky, so they immediately rushed over and surrounded the figure.

"Commander, a thief has broken into Fort Glory!" After seeing Senna's arrival, the mercenary soldiers who surrounded the figure shouted loudly to Senna, and gave up their positions one after another

Senna passed.

When Senna entered the encirclement of the daily mercenary warriors, the figure who had been facing away from Senna slowly turned around and stared at Senna. Immediately afterwards, a soft female voice full of surprise suddenly came into Senna's ears: "Brother Senna, it's really you!"

Listening to the familiar voice that once haunted his ears every day, Sena froze.

Under the light of the torches in the hands of the mercenary warriors around him, Senna could clearly see that the surrounded figure was a slim elven girl in exquisite light armor. This elven girl has a pair of crystal clear, scarlet eyes like blood-stained gems, and she is a blood elf girl.

"Winrea, it's you, how did you end up at Glory Castle?" For a moment, Senna couldn't believe his eyes.

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the Blood Elf Girl suddenly rush over. Immediately, Senna felt a warm fragrance of nephrite rush into his arms, and a pair of soft wattles hugged him tightly, as if he was afraid that as soon as he let go of his hand, he would slip away.

This scene was the same as it had been many years ago, when he had left the Nightsong Forest.

Time, as if at this moment, quietly stood still!

......

In the courtyard of Senna's residence at Fort Glory, Senna and Winrea, who had not been seen for many years, sat side by side on a stool woven of vines, and were talking at night.

"After you left the Nightsong Forest, the news that you created a daily mercenary group on the Northern Frontier Grassland and fought against the orcs has also been transmitted back to the various tribes in the Nightsong Forest one after another!"

"The clansmen also know that you have named the mercenary group you created 'Sunchaser' to recreate the glory of one of the greatest dynasties in the history of our elven race, the Sunchaser Dynasty. For this, there are those who praise you for your ambition, and there are also those who laugh at you for not being able to do anything. In short, the people's opinions on you are divided into two factions! But at this time, everyone is only limited to paying lip service to you, and no one wants to support you in action!"

"Subsequently, you led the daily mercenary group to capture Fort Glory, one of the nine major military forts built by the orcs on the grass of the northern frontier, and this incident brought a lot of impact to the clan. It was at this time that the atmosphere of ignoring you in the clan began to change, at least among those clansmen who praised you for your ambition, some people gradually moved their minds to step out of the Night Song Forest and fight with you on the northern grasslands!"

"As you commanded the daily mercenary group to defeat the orc army's counterattack on the Glory Fort several times, and firmly occupied the Glory Castle, the thoughts of those people who wanted to fight with you became stronger and stronger, and they officially launched their actions and submitted a motion to the Council of Elders, asking to get out of the Night Song Forest and join your daily mercenary group!"

The Council of Elders debated the matter fiercely, and the two factions in favor and against were evenly matched, and in the end, the Speaker of the Council of Elders made a ruling, firmly supporting the pro-side side, and the Council of Elders agreed to pass the motion put forward by that part of the clan to join the daily mercenary group. ”

"Originally, we left the Yesong Forest this time, and there were more than 4,000 warriors and mages from various tribes who came to the northern grassland, but halfway through, everyone heard the news that the orcs began to increase their troops in the northern grassland after conquering the Alpine Giant Khanate. As a result, the hearts of the people in the team fluctuated, and many of the clansmen felt that the hope of defeating the orcs in the northern grasslands became slim, and in the end, half of the clansmen who came with them returned to the Nightsong Forest.

But I think it's good, as the saying goes, 'the big waves sweep the sand, and the sinking is gold', and after these opportunists returned, all the people left in the team are now willing to entrust their lives to you, and fight with you on the grassland. Their loyalty and will to fight can be assured!"

Winrea slowly recounted why she had suddenly arrived at Castle Glory, while Senna listened intently.

After listening to Wen Leia's account, Senna asked thoughtfully, "So, the people who came to Glory Castle with you this time are about two thousand other people, and where are they now?"

"The number of people who have come here is two thousand two hundred and thirty-eight to be exact! They are just outside the north of Fort Glory, in a hidden valley behind the orc barracks, and that valley is about thirty miles away from the orc barracks!" said Wenreya.

When Senna heard this, surprise and surprise flashed on his face, and the whole person jumped up directly from the rattan bench, and said with his hands dancing: "I saw you riding a Chimera from the south of Fort Glory, I thought you and your people were hiding in the south! Now that you are hiding behind the orcs, it would be great! With the cooperation of your new force, I can just catch the orcs off guard!"

Senna, who was originally helpless about the orc's attack on Riptide Castle, suddenly had a bold plan in his heart after hearing that the elves were coming to help and knowing their location at the moment, and felt that there was hope for defeating the enemy. It's no wonder he's so excited that he's lost his breath.

"If I had come from the north on Nuramok, I would have flown over the orc camp, and I was afraid that the orcs would notice, so I made a big circle and came from the south instead!"

"That Chimera is Nuramok, and it was only a short time after I left the Nightsong Forest, and it had grown so big in just a few years, how could that be?" Senna looked incredulous.

"Two years ago, because of a greedy mouth, Nuramok sneaked into the Moonlight Temple and stole the sacrifice of the Moon God. After this incident was noticed by the moon god, it caused the moon god to be furious, and even sent down a divine punishment to cut off Nuramok's 100-year lifespan, causing it to enter the juvenile period from infancy ahead of schedule! However, fortunately, the moon god did not deprive Nuramok of his power, and now Nuramok, who is forced to grow up, is already a strong fighting force in the clan!" Wen Leiya said with a helpless face.

The normal lifespan of an ordinary Chimera is less than a thousand years, and it is taken away from it for a hundred years at once, which is indeed a very heavy punishment for Nuramok.

But for Wen Leiya, the Chimera knight who signed a soul contract with Nuramok, it was a blessing in disguise. Because the lifespan of the elves is only about four hundred years, Nuramok, who grew up at the cost of losing a hundred years of life, made the blood elf girl enter her Chimera knight career a lot of time ahead of schedule in the course of her life.

When Senna learned that Nuramok had suddenly grown up due to the punishment of the moon god, he was also speechless for a while.

After finishing her conversation with Winleia and settling her into another place, Senna returned to her bedroom.

At this moment, the black elf boy, who had not closed his eyes all night, finally let go of a big stone that was pressing on his heart because he saw the hope of defeating the orc army outside the city, and became relaxed, and then with it, fatigue surged.

He lay down on the bed, and after a while, there was a slight snoring in the bedroom.
