The withered forest that fell into the night did not seem to have changed in any way from the past, and the dense foliage and clumps of ancient trees made this forest seem to have lost the concept of time.

Whether the sun is shining or the stars are shining, the place is dominated by darkness throughout, and the light in the sky can only faintly pass through the canopy of trees, giving it a little more color.

The settlement that once belonged to the elves of the withered forest was already in ruins, and all that was left of the burned cloud-canopy tree was a towering black char. The ogres who had occupied the area were squatting in groups, like loyal hyenas staring at the slightest movement in the nearby forest.

Huge figures lurk in the darkness, and dense forests serve as their "walls", making it impossible for any enemy to get around it.

If you want to cross the barren forest, this is the way to go, and this ogre colony is the vicious dog guarding the door.

The black-haired wizard half-kneeling on the trunk of the tree squinted slightly, and he stood under the tree just in the middle of the canopy, picking open the branches and carefully observing the enemy's movements.

There weren't many ogres gathered here, just a few dozen of them - maybe it was a relatively large ogre colony before, but after the Battle of the Great Tree Wall, the black-haired wizards were no longer able to look down on such enemies.

Considering that the vast majority of ogres have already assembled towards the big tree wall, it doesn't seem incomprehensible, and at the moment the elves are already struggling to resist, and there is no need for this evil god to leave too many ogres to protect it.

It did not expect that these "weak" enemies would rebel against it.

The corners of Loren's mouth were a little more smirk, and his pupils were already full of murderous intent - since you are so confident, let us give you some "surprise".

"Everyone is ready, just waiting for your order. ”

Quietly appearing behind Loren, there was a hint of hesitation in Kono's expression: "Can't you really get around?" I see that the nearby woods are still very lush, if you are careful enough......"

"If you are careful enough......" Loren sighed when he heard this: "The problem is that even if we are careful, we still have the possibility of being discovered - instead of panicking at that time, it is better to eliminate them in one go now and minimize the risk." ”

After listening to his explanation, Kono, who felt that it made sense, nodded and said no more. Since he had decided to believe in this human wizard, he had no intention of going back.

Turning his gaze back to the enemy, Loren slowly raised his right hand. It's a shame that he can't use magic himself, but he doesn't need to play any role in these enemies, just leave it to the experienced Wardancers behind him, who are the real "hunters"!

The palms of their hands fell suddenly, and the war dancers lurking in the dense forest finally began to act. Skillfully dispersed into teams of three or two, cautiously trying to get as close to their respective goals as possible.

Up to this moment, there was still no movement in the entire dense forest—the dense forest obscured the figure of the war dancers, and the light steps prevented the last trace of detection.

All it takes is his order to turn half of the ogres in the settlement into corpses!

And this will be the first battle for the expedition to set foot in the Eternal Night Forest...... The black-haired wizard curled the corners of his mouth:

"Kill them all. ”

.................. "Boom-!!!!"

Exploding fires lit up the night sky, and the explosion shone like stars across the earth. Screams and wails followed, as the smoke-emitting monsters fell, their fat bodies left huge pits in the dirt, and the expedition sounded the horn of the raid.

The trained war dancers didn't give them any time to react, and at the same time as the ignition exploded, all the ogres around the settlement were gradually being swept away.

The rest didn't even know what was happening, they just yelled and roared like hyenas, and the sparse screams seemed to be emboldening themselves.

Falling one head after the other, the screaming ogres fell prey to the war dancers - roaring into the forest, blinding them with spears that flew out of nowhere, before the war dancers who followed them fell from the sky and killed them with their spears.

That's right, it's not a fight, it's a hunt, and we're hunters, we're here to slaughter these monsters.

Loren calmly watched the whole battle, and so far it had far exceeded his expectations. By the time one of the elves took down the last ogre with a throwing spear, the monsters outside the settlement had been completely wiped out.

After sweeping the periphery, the war dancers began to gather, preparing to attack the ogres in the withered forest settlement.

Because there was only one ruin left, there were few ancient trees in the withered forest settlement that could be used as a cover, and if you rushed into it, it would definitely cause a lot of losses.

At this point in the raid, the monsters would have spotted them, no matter how stupid they were—but who said they had to rush in to destroy the ogres?

"The whole expedition is divided into two groups - Lord Kono is responsible for attracting their attention and keeping the ogres who have rushed out of the settlement, and then Isuria will take them to the Akiba River, where the rushing waters will help us out of all our troubles!"

The smiling Loren put his hands behind his back and slowly looked sideways at Leah, who was looking at him: "As for the remaining eighty war dancers, I will hand it over to you, responsible for strangling the ogres who are trying to escape, and then this battle will end happily." ”

"Cunning liar. The female elf spoke, her eyes were very "contemptuous".

"It's called tactics. ”

Loren shrugged his shoulders: "We are just a group of ordinary elves and humans, in the face of these mutated monsters, there is no way to fight back head-on, and even if we can win, we will suffer heavy casualties." ”

"We are very weak, so we don't fight with them in a dignified manner: traps, group fights, encirclements, sneak attacks...... This is the right way for a weak wizard to ravage a group of enemies who are far stronger than him - and in an instant, to destroy them!"

The breezy Loren slowly raised his hands, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked a smile, and his gesture without hesitation seemed to be appreciating a grand pattern.

"Proud liar. Leah snorted, but didn't continue, but stared at the black-haired wizard's back - although she hated this guy, she had to admit that he looked calm: "But...... It's a bit like a real warrior. ”

“...... Can I take this as a compliment?"

"You feel free. The female elf hugged her shoulders unconvinced.

The black-haired wizard who was just about to laugh suddenly widened his eyes and stood on end with cold hairs all over his body!

An incomparably strong void breath suddenly surged around, converging towards the center of the withered forest like a howling wind—even standing on the trunk of a tree so far away, Loren felt like he was about to be crushed by this force!

This is definitely not the power that some high-level spell can emanate, it is Mezca!

Is this a trap, or has it been discovered?!

"Quick, go and inform Kono and Isuria to get them out of the settlement!" Loren pressed the female elf's shoulder, his expression unprecedentedly nervous: "It's too late!"

"What's going on......"

"Don't ask! Anyway, the plan stops, let's retreat!" the impatient Loren didn't have time to explain why, turned and ran towards the main force of the expedition, and did not forget to continue to remind her: "No matter what happens, don't ...... it"

"Boom-!!!!"

Another roar that broke the silence of the night, Loren, who was almost shaken off the tree, grabbed the branch, looked up in the direction where the sound came, and his dark pupils suddenly shrank.

Is that...... What is it?!

The huge body is more than thirty meters, standing like a giant in the dense forest, and its incomparably strong body is definitely not comparable to the slow and obese monster of the troll.

His eyes widened and he was in shock, and Loren suddenly understood something-such a monster was definitely capable of destroying the Great Tree Wall!

After a long while, Loren suppressed his trembling hands and shouted with all his might:

"Retreat - !!!"
