In the tavern, Eslena meets the oppressed, skinny Iluri, and the bare-chested elven dancer who dances in shame for her guests.

As an elven ranger captain, seeing her fellow clansmen fall into such a situation, her proud heart was deeply stabbed, and she resolutely launched a plan to save her companions.

The process was difficult and the results were not satisfactory. Despite her best efforts, Eslena only rescued more than twenty people before she was exposed ahead of time and had to embark on a flight.

Coming home is their first and deepest desire.

Across the ocean, with the vast Kurminsk Empire in between, their hope of returning home is almost non-existent. But they didn't give up, grabbed a small boat and broke into the vast sea.

Later, due to a storm at sea, they came to a pirate island and killed all the pirates, saving dozens of enslaved people - their later families.

The obsession of going home can never be erased.

It also led them to become pirates.

As the past echoed in her mind, Eslena remembered the lonely and helpless little girl just now, perhaps a portrayal of Iluri at the beginning.

Midnight was silent, save for the rushing waves and the rubbing of leaves.

Suddenly, Eslena's pupils shrank, keenly catching the unusual. On the reef beach in the distance, the black reef was scattered in all directions, and the wriggling black shadows were densely surging.

Gently poking Ilully and Iriel on the shoulders, Eslena made a silent gesture and pointed to the reef beach in the distance.

The fish monster is coming!

Under their nervous gaze, the gray-black ugly fish monster was lying on its back, and its huge fish heads were like dull iron tools, one by one burrowing out of the reef.

There were hundreds of them, and the light of the camp's fire, apparently attracting them, rushed towards the knight's camp in the cover of night.

A brutal battle began without incident, and the knights did not let their guard down, and as the fish monster touched the edge of the camp, swords clashed, armor rubbed, and horses neighed.

Gollum......

Gollum......

The fish monsters made a dull grunt in their throats, and the knights shouted loudly, bravely meeting their enemies.

Hiding in the trees, the three of them kept an eye on the battle, the fierce fish monster had thick skin and thick flesh, and the way of attacking was also very strange, some spitting slime, some pounced and bitten, like a group of hungry piranhas.

At first, the knights had the advantage, with sharp swords that could pierce the scale armor of the fish monster. But as the battle progressed, more and more fish monsters swam up from the shore.

"Oh no, they seem to be surrounded!" Eslena climbed to the top of the beech tree with her hands and feet, and with a pair of night eyes pierced through the darkness, she was surprised to find that on the other side of the camp, the surging fish monsters surrounded her like a tide.

"Look!"

Iruli exclaimed, and in the center of the camp, a dazzling light rose, instantly illuminating the battlefield as if it were day.

Mage!

A mage in a robe, in the midst of a crowd of knights, raised his staff high, and the jewel at the top of the staff rose into a dazzling pillar of white light.

The group of fish monsters that were fighting exploded their nests in an instant, and they seemed to be unable to bear the dazzling light, and they all wailed and looked for cover to hide.

"Magic! That's magic!"

The continuous existence of the pillar of light not only blinded the eyes of the fish monster, but also provided a good vision for the knights, and the counterattack immediately became fierce.

The real backbone of Arabe City is not the Knights or the Navy, but these mages who have mastered the secret arts. For the elves, mages should be their hateful group - because the conflict between humans and elves was provoked by the mage class.

The division of the Kurminsk Empire was caused by the different philosophies of the mage community. The free-thinking mage association that went away to Arabe City, advocating an open-minded group of mages who absorb all magic, is not exclusive to foreign races, they usually like to obtain magic books or magic items through trade, so their attitude towards elves is relatively mild, advocating that through trading and negotiation, each of them can obtain the items they need.

This is also the philosophy they have been adhering to since they founded the city of Arabe.

"This is Radiance, mid-level magic. Eslena nodded, "I've seen wild mages use it, an instant magic that can be stored in magic crystals. ”

"The fish monsters are afraid of the light. Iluri breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm still worried that they won't be able to resist the attack of the fish monster, that little girl ......"

"Rena, Iluri, look, what's that?" Eliel, who had been nervously following the battle situation, made a major discovery again, just when those fish monsters couldn't stand the light and began to escape, a wave was set off on the rough sea, and a black figure nearly twice as tall as the fish monster walked out.

It resembles a giant lobster, with its chest and abdomen hunched and its body draped over a heavy carapace, with six symmetrical legs underneath.

The most bizarre thing is that the part that should be the head is like a huge dark tumor, the whole is petal-shaped, clustered by pieces of carapace, without any obvious organs.

No one had ever seen this strange creature, but their instincts told them that it was more powerful than the fish monsters. Because of its appearance, dozens of fish monsters turned around and surrounded it, surrounding it in the center.

The knights were also obviously aware of the danger, and began to position themselves in the center of the camp, with the two core mages in the center. In addition to the mage who continued to release the Radiant Spell, another mage also began to cast magic.

The sound of the damp sea breeze suddenly became louder, and several tiny tornadoes began to roll up on the wet sand, twisting and swaying together until they formed a tornado as thick as a giant tree.

Driven by the mage, the tornado began to sweep towards the fish monster.

The fish monster on the periphery was instantly swept up by the tornado and flew into the air with a howl. In just a few breaths, the tornado seemed to tear through the fish monster's defenses inexorably.

Just as the knights shouted and cheered loudly, a shocking scene appeared.

The lobster monster surrounded by the fish monster in the center, the carapace tumor on the head bloomed, revealing a soft umbrella-shaped head, like a jellyfish, surrounded by dozens of soft tentacles, no obvious facial features, and under the translucent skin, there were complex dense veins like spider webs.

Buzz~

Buzz~

An eerie sound wave erupted, and the sound was so subtle that it was impossible to tell if it was a tremor of the eardrum or a real sound. But its power was so evident that the bodies of the excited knights began to shake, and even the spells of the two mages began to become unstable.

The pillar of light flickered on and off, and the direction of the tornado was out of control.

Even if they were far away, Iruli and the others sensed the strange sound waves, and immediately felt tightness in their chests and shortness of breath, dizziness, and their stomachs were tumbling, and they almost wanted to vomit.

"Vomit~~" Iliel couldn't bear it at first, spit out a mouthful of sour water, and her body was shaky, if it weren't for Eslena's quick eyes, she almost slipped and fell from the tree.

Eslena frowned and resisted the discomfort, "Hold on, Eliel, Eliuri." It seemed to have unleashed some kind of psychic impact. ”

Taking advantage of the chaos of the knights' formation, the fish monsters attacked again.

The strange spiritual impact greatly weakened the knights' combat effectiveness, and their bodies were swaying, their headaches were splitting, and they couldn't even hold the swords in their hands steadily.

The battle became one-sided, and the two mages were in slightly better condition and could be visibly affected. The Radiant Technique and the Tornado gradually weakened.

"Kill that monster, kill it!"

"Otherwise we're all going to die here!"

Obviously, the knights also sensed the source of the attack, although there were constant shouts and the knights scattered gathering and impact, but the fish monsters surrounded by layers continued to follow one after another, blocking the attack and defending the monster in the center.

After several successive attacks, the Order was on the verge of collapse with most of the dead and wounded.

"Oh no, they're going to lose!" Iluri gritted her teeth and endured the impact: "That little girl, I'm afraid it's ...... too"

As Iluri said, the defeated knights, in the midst of the riots, mounted their horses and tried to retreat. However, the war horse was also mentally shocked, and it was not controlled at all, jumping up and down.

The fish monsters became even more rampant, rushing into the camp and carrying out a one-sided slaughter, not even letting go of people and horses. In the scuffle, the two magicians gave up their horses and stumbled out, and one of the magicians had a small figure under his arm - it was the little girl.

"Look, Rena. ”

The only shelter on the long coastline is the wild forest where Iruli and her sisters hide. And those two mages, with a dozen or so knights scattered, made the right choice.

"They're retreating here, what are we going to do?"

"Wait a minute!" Eslena looked at the seaside, the jellyfish-headed monster that released the spiritual shock, surrounded by the fish monster, moved six chelicera, and was also quickly chasing.

"The thing is coming after it, too, if you don't get rid of it, or interrupt it. With the speed at which they lose their horses, no one will be able to escape!"

As the jellyfish-headed monster approached, the mental impact became even stronger.

"So what do we do?"

"For us, and for that little girl. ”

Once the jellyfish-headed monsters are lured over, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to escape. Leaning against the trunk of the tree, Eslena clenched her teeth and drew an arrow from the quiver and drew the bowstring.

Condescendingly, the fish monster that arched the guard could not act as a barrier, and the translucent jellyfish head became the most obvious target.

But Eslena was not sure in her heart: "Iluri, Eliel, it doesn't matter if I shoot it or not, it doesn't matter if it's useful or not." Listen up, go down at once, and retreat!"
