Chapter 249, Slim Hope
There is no clear sky, dark clouds obscuring the sky, the elven continent ushered in the darkest moment, a few days ago, the Green Valley Kingdom sent troops to besiege a valley, the undead who should have been gradually wiped out suddenly broke out, and then a large portal was built in the valley besieging the undead!
Tens of thousands of undead poured out of the valley and launched a onslaught on the nearest kingdom of Green Valley, led by the traitor El Rosa of the Star Empire.
Because of the warning of the Holy Maiden of the Tree of Life, the Green Valley Kingdom knows the danger of extinction.
So actively prepare for war.
But I didn't expect the army of the undead to come so quickly!
In a few days, the Green Valley Kingdom had only initially assembled an army, and many ordinary elves had not yet trained elves.
There is no combat effectiveness at all.
Every elf does have a strong shooting talent, and is born with eagle-like sharp eyes, but most of them have strong fighting talents, and the elves and transcendents suitable for the army have become soldiers.
All the elves who have been newly drafted into the army used to be ordinary civilians, and they are a plate of loose sand without special training.
Such recruits must be carried by veterans to do what they have to do.
The troops that had been through a hundred battles were also broken up as a result.
In the face of the steady stream of undead who tirelessly launched a non-stop onslaught, the Green Valley Kingdom was completely unable to resist except to buy time for the evacuation of the people.
So they were defeated and retreated, and they lost their land.
Ninety percent of those ordinary elves who couldn't evacuate turned into undead, and only one percent could barely escape.
In the fiasco, the already small number of troops in the Green Valley Kingdom became smaller and smaller.
Even though the Kingdom of High Hill, the Kingdom of Tallinn, the Kingdom of Jungle, and the Kingdom of Silvermoon Bay continued to send reinforcements to support.
It was also targeted by El Rosa's troops.
"Why hasn't His Majesty returned with reinforcements from the dwarves and orcs yet?"
Looking at the soldiers and transcendents who had suffered heavy casualties, everyone in the elven generals of the Green Valley Kingdom was anxious.
It's only been a few days since the Green Valley King traveled to the Dwarven Continent.
In the face of the inquiries of the generals, Prince Midoriya knew that even if all the territory of the Midoriya Kingdom fell, reinforcements would not be able to catch up.
Queen Gaoqiu didn't want to listen to this nonsense, and directly proposed: "Let all the people of the Green Valley Kingdom withdraw to my kingdom to hold on, and you had better do the same with Queen Tallinn and Queen Jungle." ”
"I have ordered my subjects to build large fortifications. ”
Reenistina, the queen of the jungle, did not hesitate: "Yes." ”
The Jungle Kingdom is located in the most central territory of the Elven Continent, except for the towering trees, the Dense Forest Elves are in no danger to defend, and there is obviously no benefit in fighting guerrilla warfare with the undead who have more than 300,000 troops and are still increasing.
Lextana, Queen of Tallinn, hesitated.
The Kingdom of Tallinn is a magical kingdom with a relatively complete ancient magic heritage and more than a hundred magic towers.
Even if she was willing to retreat with her subjects, the magicians would not give up the magic tower.
King of Silvermoon Bay: "Withdraw to our Silvermoon Bay, we have ships, and no amount of undead can threaten our warships." ”
"Huh. Lestana couldn't help but sneer.
Renistina didn't say a word.
Queen Goqiu asked, "Anglosta, can your ship carry all the elves of the entire continent?"
Silvermoon Bay King Anglosta shook his head: "Marisgna, don't talk about these unrealistic, no matter how many warships I have, I can barely bring all the elven nobles." ”
Lestana: "Then don't shut up, don't talk!"
Hearing this, the King of Silvermoon Bay suddenly looked angry, and Rhenistina asked mockingly, "Should we ask the Elven God for help now?"
"Why do His followers suffer calamity and not say anything?"
"After the last divine war, there is also the disaster of evil breaking the seal, and the true god has not yet recovered. "Angrosstad.
Queen Gaoqiu Marisgna shook her head: "Okay, stop chatting here, retreat quickly." ”
"It's not going to be held here. ”
With the slaughter in the Star Continent, El Rosa has been promoted to a demigod with the shadow of the dark moon in his hand, and he is full of terrifying power of the law of shadow and the law of death, and life withers, trees wither, and land is barren everywhere he passes!
The walls of the Green Valley Kingdom couldn't withstand his sword, because of the buff of the artifact, the elven demigods couldn't melee with it, and the long-range attacks were easily defused.
Although helpless, the Green Valley Kingdom must give up......
However.
The elven nations retreated again and again.
El Rosa does not need to occupy the city, does not need supplies, does not need to rest, and always chases behind the retreating elven troops.
As long as the elf showed a hint of fatigue, the retreat speed was half a minute slower.
It will also be attacked by all kinds of undead creatures.
"The portal must be built, and even if we have the advantage of being familiar with the terrain, we will never tire of the undead on the ground. ”
"No, the undead are chasing too closely.
To build a portal, we have to stop, and to stop is to die......"
"Run, brothers and sisters, work harder, this is not far from the Gaoqiu Kingdom to establish a defensive line. ”
"Grit your teeth and rush!"
"Don't fall behind, if you find that your brothers and sisters around you slow down, pull a hand!"
"Roar~!!"
The earth-shattering dragon roar suddenly sounded, and Long Wei pressed in front of the retreating elven troops, making all the elves shocked, and some high-level powerhouses sensed what was going on, and they were immediately full of despair.
"What's that sound?"
"Undead creatures are up ahead, too?"
"What are we going to do?"
"It's a dragon......"
"What, it's a dragon?"
"Reinforcements are finally here?"
"That dragon power is specifically aimed at us, I'm afraid the comer is not good......"
"That ......"
"Scatter and flee!"
The legendary elven ranger in the retreating army took a deep breath and decisively gave an order: "I will cut off the queen for you, and I can run one by one!"
Then draw the bow and arrow, gather the strength and turn to shoot back.
A rain of arrows fell.
The hundreds of beast undead who were chasing after them were instantly wiped out, but more ghosts flew swiftly under the black clouds that obscured the sky.
Behind the ghost is El Rosa, who rides a bone horse and wields a divine sword.
In front of the retreating elven troops, the bone dragon with the demigod-level dragon power spread its bone wings, swooped down from the sky, and with a bite of dragon breath mixed with death power, it turned the land within a radius of hundreds of meters into scorched earth!
The defense line of the Kingdom of Gaoqiu.
On the lookout tower, a legendary elven ranger looked in all directions and found that a monstrous fire had ignited in the direction of the withdrawal of the Green Valley Kingdom's troops, and billowing smoke rose high, connecting with the black clouds in the sky.
"Guys, if we can't stop these undead, all the elves will lose their homes and even be exterminated!"
"So I beg you to fight to the end for the sake of your homeland and your people!"
Hearing the words of the Queen of Gaoqiu, Marisgna, the elven troops of various countries who hurried to the defense line shouted in response.
But they don't know.
Cordesis built two more large portals, allowing the millions of undead of the Star Empire to completely flood into the Elven Continent.
At this time, El Rosa had already mounted the Bone Dragon to assemble an army!
The rocky walls of the Star Empire fell, and more than three million undead were sent to the Southern Continent.
There are two million more for its command.
After the capture of the Green Valley Kingdom, the strength of the undead army will be doubled again, and when the assembly is completed, El Rosa will lead an army of more than two million undead to attack the High Hill Kingdom, when this only elven kingdom with a defensive location falls.
The army has been expanded again, and the remaining dark forests and Tallinn city-states have been captured, and the kingdom of Silvermoon Bay will be easily defeated!
The morale was so high that I couldn't see the enemy for a few days.
The hot blood will also cool down.
El Rosa is not a reckless man who can only swing a sword and slash people, and his flexible use of tactics has allowed him to successfully capture the Star Empire, and if he wants to capture the Elven Continent, he will also use the most reasonable tactics.
Death is on their side.
The same is true of timing!
Up to three million undead have assembled and pushed all the way to the trees, withering all life with the power of death, and turning the land into barrenness.
In the end, the vibrant forest outside the high hill defense line will be completely turned into a dead place!
Then the undead appeared all over the mountains.
Create a depressing atmosphere and carry out a psychological offensive against the elves of the defense line of the Gaoqiu Kingdom, so that every elf who sees them will be born of fear and despair!
As fear and despair spread, the morale of the elven soldiers fell to a low point.
The elven people who withdrew from the Green Valley Kingdom to the High Hill Kingdom lived in fear all day long, and even the elves who had transferred from the Tallinn Kingdom and the Jungle Kingdom became more and more panicked.
They gradually changed from wanting to destroy the undead and win the war, to risking their lives to defend the line, providing time for the elves behind them to escape, and to becoming the undead not to attack.
But the undead after a few pretended attacks.
They thought that the long pain was better than the short pain, and hoped that the undead would attack quickly.
However.
El Rosa was accustomed to this tactic, and had a very good grasp of the elven generals and soldiers.
That's how to hang and not start a real battle!
Time flies like a white horse.
Surrounded by two million undead, the Kingdom of Tallinn, the Kingdom of Jungle and the Kingdom of Silvermoon Bay were attacked by some undead troops, but for the main force, they refused to attack the defense line of the Gaoqiu Kingdom.
The elves on the defensive line and in the kingdom of Gaoqiu were living a tormented life.
"We're not far from death... But the spirits of the dead will not allow us to die a happy death, or even die and be enslaved. ”
"Soldiers, don't spread words that affect morale! We will get through this crisis!"
"I'm sorry sir, I shouldn't have talked nonsense, but what the actual situation is, all the elves know very well......"
"Enough soldiers!The King of Green Valley, who went to the Dwarven Continent for help, has returned, and we elves are not alone. ”
But.
All the elves saw the Green Valley King and his party returning through the teleportation array, and did not bring back a single dwarven reinforcement.
"The undead are moving again!"
Under the cover of night, the skeleton with the swaying soul fire once again approached the defense line of the Gaoqiu Kingdom with an unhurried pace.
Hearing the sentinel's warning, the rangers were silent and drew their bows and arrows.
Scattered feathered arrows flew out, and all skeletons that came into range were wiped out in an instant.
But.
This skeleton harassment did not end as all elves are used to, and wave after wave was wiped out and approached the defense line.
"Rangers, pay attention!"
"Beware of necromancer attacks!"
As soon as the general's words fell, the skeleton mage mixed in with the ordinary skeleton cast a spell strike.
"Boom Boom Boom ~ !!"
With the magical protection built with the help of the Kingdom of Tallinn, the attacks of the skeleton mages are not so easy to hurt all the elves in the defense line.
However.
The skull mage's spell exploded, and it was a black mist that obscured the view!
The black fog swallows up the light, blurring the light of the night.
With the slight sound of footsteps on the ground, hundreds of thousands of undead launched an all-out assault towards the defensive line!
"They're coming!"
"Mage, dispel the black fog!"
"Magic cannon fire!"
"Boom Boom Boom ~ !!"
The brilliant magical light dispelled the black fog and lit up the night sky, and the battle to decide the fate of the race began unexpectedly as all the elves expected!
"Roar~!!"
Al Rosa didn't keep directing the undead to attack this time, after all, time had dragged on for a long time.
The strength of the elves is not as strong as the Star Empire.
So there has to be a war of attrition.
After gathering the demigod bone dragon, the legendary bone dragon, and the weakest epic bone dragon, he personally rode on the back of the largest demigod bone dragon, and held high the shadow of the dark moon to order the whole army to attack!
"Rumble ~ !!"
The overwhelming number of more than 2 million undead is like a tsunami about to flood the earth, with an irresistible momentum, facing countless magic cannon beams, spells, feather arrows, crossbow arrows, flying stones, and cannonballs approaching the defense line.
They are death!
They are destruction!
To be destroyed is nothing but to fall into the arms of Naraku, the god of death and destruction!
The undead are already difficult to deal with.
The natural spells of the elves, as well as the divine arts, can cause limited damage, and now they are more fierce and brutal, and they have to face a terrifying number of bone dragons, which are three times the high-level combat power of the elves, and the queen of the high hills, the queen of the jungle, the queen of Tallinn and the king of the green valley They have seen the end of the entire elven race.
But they were not reconciled, and silently picked up the longbow, rapier, and staff and joined the battle.
"How can this be ......"
As a demigod, Anglosta, the king of Silvermoon Bay, dropped the longbow in his hand, and then grabbed the high priest of the temple beside him and asked, "Why didn't the true god punish the undead?"
"Is He going to give up all the elven people?"
The high priest of the temple was speechless.
From the moment the army of the undead assembled outside the defense lines of the Kingdom of Goul, she was unable to get in touch with the great elven god.
Other words.
The elven god ignored the elven crisis!
"So what are we going to do?" asked Anglosta.
Looking at the city walls that had already engaged the undead, and looking at the transcendent rangers who were surrounding them with arrows to support the warriors on the walls, the high priest of the temple once again prayed to the great elven god for help, but there was no response.
"High Priest!"
Anglosta's eyes were red.
Returning to his senses, countless thoughts flashed through the mind of the high priest, who was not helped by the gods, and suddenly remembered the prophecy of the birth of the king in front of him.
"Your Majesty Anglosta, the prophecy says that you will become the King of the Gods. ”
Anglosta: "But I devotion to my faith, but the great elven god never responded!"
"Nope. The high priest of the temple shook his head and said, "I think the opposite, I think that the great god of elves has given His Majesty a revelation. ”
"This crisis is a test!"
"As long as Your Majesty can carry on with the essence, I believe that the great god of the elves will bestow a miracle on his followers!"
Hearing this, Anglosta's thoughts turned, and countless thoughts immediately came to him.
"What do you mean?"
High Priest: "Get out of here for ...... moment"
These words woke up Anglosta, and there was no need for him to accompany the elves of the High Hill Kingdom, the Jungle Kingdom, the Tallinn Kingdom, and the Green Valley Kingdom to fight to the death here.
His Silvermoon Bay Kingdom has a large number of warships, and it is completely possible to leave the Elven Continent with the nobles and the most elite troops in the country, wait for the undead natural disaster to pass, and then slowly come back to rebuild the kingdom!
As a result, Anglosta decisively ordered the troops of the Silvermoon Bay Kingdom to leave the defense line of the Gaoqiu Kingdom.
Upon discovering this, Marysgna and the other elven queens and kings were shocked and furious.
And the sudden departure of friendly troops was detected in battle.
Countless elven warriors, rangers, and generals fell into deeper despair......
They're really going to be finished.
"Don't mess up! Don't retreat!"
"Don't run away!"
Queen Gohiok Marisgna roared, "Behind us is home, with your relatives, friends, and unarmed people!"
"We have to stop them!"
"Even if you run away, you should let the old man and the child go first!"
Rhaenistina also said, "Don't forget those bone dragons, if you turn around and run away, you will kill yourself!"
"Boom ————"
"Boom ————"
"Boom ————"
"Kill! For the sake of the clansmen behind you!" "Destroy them!" "Kill one without losing money, kill two to earn!"
At the beginning of the tragic battle, compared to the civilization of the elves, they love nature, so they habitually do not cast attacks and spells that are too damaging to the environment, but the undead have no scruples, when many demigods and undead broke the protection that the elves had built with great difficulty, more than a dozen epic bone dragons spewed dragon breath in unison, and more than half of the troops of the elves were killed and injured in an instant.
However, the dark clouds that obscured the stars and moon in the night sky were suddenly dispelled by the power that appeared behind more than two million undead!!
Reinforcements are coming!
...... To be continued......
