Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Stars Shine (I)

What time is it?

Consciousness gradually blurred, but the female elf still stubbornly supported her body, the original spear had long been broken into two, and in her hand was a relic picked up from the side of the fallen war dancer, and the tip of the spear that had long since ceased to be sharp was still soaked in blood. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In Leah's memory, she had never fought like she did now—stiff, numb, exhausted...... It was as if his body had been torn in half, but he had been able to hunt the enemy in front of him with great precision as usual.

It's as if all this is no longer oneself, but completely surrendered to the instinct of the body.

Lea had heard of many elderly War Dancers in such a situation, that they were on the verge of collapse, but they were refreshed or even stronger than usual, and that even two or three ogres could rush up at the same time and hunt enemies in an instant - and after the battle, they would fall to the ground unscathed and die suddenly.

Do you say that you are about to die......

No, he can't die yet, at least not yet—the crow's beak hasn't come out of the cave yet, and he's promised to hold on until he's come out of it, and he'll have to be the one who keeps his word, no matter what the point!

I promised him, this reason is enough, I promised him...... And that little wizard, who will let this bastard go back alive.

No matter how embarrassed he is, even if he really dies suddenly, he will have to wait until Loren Turin, the bastard, comes out and punches him in the chest - let him see how the elves of the Morning Star Forest fulfill their promise!

.................. The outer side of the Eternal Night Forest settlement had fallen, and the ogre who poured into the mountain passes and climbed the hills were not something that could be stopped by an expedition of less than a hundred men.

After paying the price of the lives of more than 30 War Dancers, Anduin, who was responsible for the leader of the War Dancers, was forced to narrow the scope of his defense and withdraw the soldiers of the expedition into the settlement.

Although the entire settlement of the Eternal Night Forest has long since been reduced to ruins, the space in the valley is still large enough to give the Wardancers more room to maneuver without having to confront the monsters that rush in - and since the pass is almost blocked by corpses, there are not many ogres who can storm the settlement.

The charred Cloudcane Tree in the center of the settlement can also serve as an important support point for tired warriors to settle down temporarily, while luring them to the Cloudcanopy Tree when too many ogres are pouring in, and using the terrain to besiege them.

Anduin wasn't a great war dancer, but he was far more experienced than the young Leah. Even in the face of an enemy who is completely suppressed in numbers, he can still try his best to gain that almost insignificant advantage.

Under his command, all the Wardancers of the expedition gave up the attack, and instead used the surrounding terrain to defend the settlement's Cloudcrown Tree and the caves behind, doing everything possible to fend off the tide of ogres.

And Leah, on the other hand, became the only "spear" in the center of the entire battlefield - constantly rushing towards any lone ogre under the cover of the surrounding war dancers, and after the hunt was completed, the nearby war dancers stopped the surroundings and retreated safely.

In between this succession of defensive and offensive alternations, the warriors of the expedition held out for an entire morning after the fall of the valley, and even during the entire battle, only two of the war dancers were trampled by the ogre.

But this is already the limit of what the expedition team can hold......

It's not just that they're tired, but their bodies can't support it, and more and more of the dancers make mistakes, die tragically under the siege of ogres, or are caught up by the enemy behind them while retreating, and are torn to shreds.

As the most critical link of the entire "defense line", Leah had to abandon her original enemies again and again to rescue the expeditionary soldiers who were almost eaten and torn apart by the ogre, which finally curbed the number of casualties, but also made the defense line on the verge of collapse, and more and more monsters rushed to the cloud canopy tree!

And even on the faces of the fallen war dancers, Anduin saw even a look of relief - in the continuous battles and breakouts, the expedition had long since run out of oil, and it was only that promise that kept them going until this moment.

But if it continues like this, the expedition will soon collapse, or even be completely annihilated!

It is necessary to turn the tide and find a breakthrough as soon as possible to break through the attack of the Ogre and restore the morale of the expeditionary team. Anduin had participated in the counter-offensive of the Great Tree Wall, and he had seen for himself how far the human wizard could go.

If anyone can put an end to this ogre invasion, it must be him!

It was because of his conviction that Anduin joined the expedition - without Loren Turin, the entire Eastern Elves would lose hope of counterattacking, and the fate of thousands of Elves would depend on him.

Even if the expedition is completely destroyed, he must be allowed to complete his mission!

"Expedition - Assembling !!!"

Anduin's heavy voice on the cloud-canopy tree echoed in the sky above the Eternal Night Forest, and he raised his spear aloft: "Expeditionary team assembles! Attack the mountain pass and defend the Eternal Night Forest-!!!"

"The fate of the entire Eastern Forest is in our hands, we have fallen, the Eastern Elves will face an unprecedented enemy, and our compatriots will never have the day to break out of the Great Tree Wall and retake the Eternal Night Forest!"

"We are not fighting the enemy in front of us, but for the future, so that one day the elves can break through the great tree wall!" Swinging his spear, the roaring Anduin pointed the tip of his spear straight ahead: "Defeat them, expel them, recapture the valley of the Eternal Night Forest - attack !!!"

With a roar echoing through the sky, Anduin's figure had already broken out of the defensive line of the Cloud Canopy Tree, and pounced on the monster that was close at hand.

This guy... How can it be the same as Curnow?!

The female elf, who shook her head vigorously to wake herself up, raised her blood-stained spear and followed closely - the fiery red figure like a banner became the clarion call for the expedition to counterattack!

"Offense - !!!"

The thin "front" strode head-on with the ogres pouring into the valley, and the roaring war dancers followed the familiar figure without hesitation, wielding the heavier spear with the last of their strength.

Whatever the outcome, this will be the last offensive of the expedition.

The ogres roaring in front of them, pouring into the valley of the Eternal Night Forest like a tide, could not stop them in the slightest, even if the robe beside them was torn off their necks alive, half of their bodies were torn off, and they screamed and were swallowed by the monsters...... They just roared, piercing their spears through the monster's massive figure.

Their vision was directly ahead, the pass of the Valley of the Eternal Night Forest, which had been blocked by countless ogres—all to protect the human who was still fighting to the death on another battlefield.

"Rush over, the mountain pass is already close in sight, rush over !!!"

Anduin desperately shouted at the war dancers behind him, the spear in his hand had been broken in two, and he still waved the remaining gun shaft as a flag: "Rush over and retake the Eternal Night Forest!"

The expedition of less than 100 people remained, and it stubbornly stopped the attack of the ogre "army", and the sound of wailing was remembered from all sides, and there was even the momentum of pushing back on the battlefield in the entire valley!

The female elf who followed him desperately kept up with him, and for the first time, Riya, who had always been the spear of the Morning Star Forest War Dancer, found that she couldn't keep up with the pace of another elven warrior.

Surprised for only a short moment, the eyes of the female elf who ran wildly suddenly showed horror, and even caught up: "Be careful below!"

But it's still a step too late...... Anduin, who didn't hear her cry at all, was hit in the spine by a claw waving from behind him, and the desperate war dancer swung the broken spear in his hand, and was grabbed by the ogre in the palm of his hand, crushing his legs!

"Anduin—!"

"The mountain pass is already close at hand, rush, recapture the Eternal Night Forest-!!!"

The dying wardancer stared at the female elf who was rushing towards him, desperately brandishing the only remaining broken spear, and his mouth was already full of blood.

"Rush-!!!"
