The sun hung high in the clear dome, and the elven warriors who were still alive in the sunlight did not have the slightest smile on their faces. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

They won, but the price was too heavy - only one of the six elven warriors who climbed the wall survived, and the rest were all maimed and barely a single one could be seen.

As the main force that dragged down the ogres throughout the battle, the war dancers of the Wind Chaser Forest were almost killed and wounded, and the war dancers of the Morning Star Forest who followed Luka were also killed, and there were only more than ten left.

Not only did they have to cover the young elves with little experience, but they also had to face the siege of two or three ogres at the same time, and even drag as many enemies as possible if necessary, resulting in heavy casualties and nearly being wiped out.

What's more, the Great Tree Wall had to be destroyed in order to recapture it. The ugly notch became a sign that the elves had repelled the ogre invasion, which was ironic.

The surviving elven warriors were not happy. On the contrary, there was only endless exhaustion in their eyes, and a trace of shame that was difficult to speak.

The brethren around them, the bravest warriors, had died in battle with the ogres, and they had survived—nothing more painful for their proud hearts.

All day, the elves gathered the bones of the dead - some were still buried, some were mutilated, and many more were ...... It's been eaten by an ogre and can't be found anymore.

As for the ogres, most of them have been turned into charcoal in the flames, or have fallen off a cliff, and have long since turned into a puddle of rotten flesh that cannot be seen in shape.

After setting fire to the wall of trees, the black-haired wizard was in a semi-comatose state, and the elves set up a makeshift tent for him near the edge of the battlefield for the human guest to rest.

Despite her reluctance, the elf Lea stood guard for him herself, becoming the "personal guard" of the human wizard, and every elven warrior who passed by outside the tent bowed respectfully and bowed slightly before leaving.

Saluting a human who is not his own race at all is unimaginable for the elves of the Ancient Wood Forest, and if any outsider tells them that they will be grateful to a human in the future, they will probably raise their spears and duel with that person.

But now all the elves who are still alive know that without this human wizard, this counterattack would have failed long ago, and these last war dancers of the Wind Chaser Forest would have been completely terminated by the ogre settlement on the wall of the big tree.

Loren Turin saved not only them, but the entire windswept forest settlement.

Even this mere gratitude made the elves walk softly and slowly as they passed the tent, reluctant to make a little more noise, for fear of disturbing the human wizard's rest, even though their steps were already light and there was not much movement at all.

Only the female elf guarding outside the tent knew that the black-haired wizard had already woken up, but it was ...... Lia's emerald eyes glanced into the tent, a hint of concern in her eyes.

............ "You—Can you still say that sentence again?!"

Luka in the tent was dumbfounded, it wasn't that he wasn't steady enough, it was what the dark-haired wizard in front of him said was really unbelievable.

Leaning back in the tent, Loren still looked tired - although the burning of the tree trunk was actually borrowing the remaining Void power, just controlling it had exhausted Loren's energy.

If it weren't for the fact that someone named Asrael helped him share some of the burden, he wouldn't be much better now than he was after the last battle with the vampire, and I'm afraid he would still be in a coma.

"I can understand your surprise, but no one can believe it. Facing the shocked Luca, Loren calmly showed a slightly tired expression: "But this is the truth - the ogres did not invade voluntarily, but were directed by some kind of force. ”

This is the answer that Loren came up with after thinking about it and making it acceptable to Luca.

It may seem like an accident, but there are no coincidences in this world, especially when these "coincidences" become overly eye-catching.

The destroyed walls of trees, the sudden invasion of ogre settlements, and the remnants of a huge void power...... and those ogres who went completely crazy after the back road was cut off, all of which verified his guesses.

These are no longer explained by coincidences, there must be some very special being manipulating them.

"Special powers......" Lukka was stunned, and his eyes became a little complicated as he looked at Loren. After hesitating for a long time, he slowly spoke: "Yes...... Some wizard?"

"I can't rule out the possibility of this, but it's impossible for an ordinary wizard to wield such a powerful power. Loren shook his head: "With all due respect, if that's the case, it's not the nobles who rule the world, but the wizards. ”

Hearing this reasonable explanation, Lukka nodded approvingly, and breathed a very vague sigh of relief - it was obvious that after seeing this power, he had begun to be afraid of human wizards.

If every human wizard could do this, the Ancient Wood Forest would no longer be a barrier for the elves, and the human army could invade their land with impunity, and any counterattack would be just a joke in the face of such a terrible force.

Even if Lukka agrees to an alliance with the Duchy of Lothair, it doesn't mean that he is defenseless against the human world - even the opposite, one of the purposes of his contact with the Deepwood Fort is to find out the strength of the Duchy in order to ensure the safety of the Morning Star Forest and the entire Eastern Elves.

"In fact, I suspect even more that this is some kind of power that has transcended reality. Loren explained as much as he could, so that the other party could understand: "This is also one of the reasons why the ignition agent will fail, because the residual force at the top of the big tree wall is too strong, so strong that it can still have a suppressive effect after a few days." ”

"And since the other party can do it the first time, he will definitely be able to do it a second time. Until the purpose is completely accomplished, it will definitely not stop, and the entire eastern part of the Ancient Wood Forest will usher in an unprecedented ogre invasion!"

Loren's expression became serious: "You have to make a decision as soon as possible - we only repelled one of their attacks, and judging from the current situation, the other party probably already knows, then the next invasion will definitely not be too long, it will start at any time!"

"I'm well aware. Lukka closed his eyes in pain, his expression was very resolute: "No matter what the elders say this time, the entire eastern elven settlement must unite in order to continue to survive, otherwise the day of the Wind Chasing Forest is the tomorrow of all the settlements!"

"IMHO, what you need to do...... Maybe it's not just about preparing for war. ”

"More than just preparing for battle?" Lukka was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"

"I don't know how to explain it to you. Loren's gaze was hesitant, and he glanced at the "Black Feather Eagle" on the side of the tent, intentionally or unintentionally: "But like I said, this time it's not just an invasion of the ogre settlement. ”

While a guy named "Asriel" was still reluctant to tell the truth, he had already guessed something - the one that could make one monster feel threatened was undoubtedly another.

And judging from his expression, the other party may even be stronger than him, and even have a direct threat to him, otherwise Asrael would not be so urgent, and even willing to take the initiative to help him.

"If we really want to solve all this, we must first get to the root of the problem - if nothing else, the final answer may be more than you think!"

"If it can't be solved...... Perhaps this invasion will never come to an end!"

"It's never going to end......" Lukka, who was shocked, muttered to himself, looking at Loren with a grim expression: "So... Have you ever faced such an enemy before?"

opened his mouth slightly, but Loren, who originally wanted to say something, hesitated, his dark pupils flashed with a strange luster.

"No, it's the first time. ”
