Time does pass at times. When Eren escaped the Suffering Land as a miner slave, the continent of Divine Grace was still covered in snow. And when Allen and nearly 300 men left the town of Paraya, the warm wind blowing from the far southern sea was infiltrating the land.

There was a lot of fog in the forest. Everyone felt wet and a little cold, but spring had arrived. You can still feel the refreshing breath.

After the past seven days or so of trekking, the two cavalry teams led by Allen had fully recognized the command of the leader, and when they entered the forest and headed north towards the Shadow Forest of the Skader Mountains, they had an orderly journey.

Mayor Greno personally led the expedition, led 60 cavalry, followed in the center of the group, and Shirley also came. As a first-order mage, she can contribute more power than ordinary cavalry in battle.

Although Alan and Greno cherish Shirley, they also know that birds that survive under the eaves will never learn to fly, and with such a powerful existence as a mechanical puppet, Alan feels that it is time for Shirley to participate in more training. Even if she was only twelve years old, even if she was the youngest in this team.

But time can't wait.

Only by accumulating rich practical experience can we help Shirley better break through herself, and it is also conducive to the awakening of the heart of ice and snow. As for the risks, there must be risks, but after careful evaluation, Alan feels that everything that can happen in the battle of the Dark Elf Village is currently under control, and he can bear everything about Shirley.

In addition to using mechanical golems to protect Shirley, Mayor Grenor also arranged for five of the best cavalrymen in the town of Paraya to protect his daughter, including two paladins who had studied healing in the temple. This group of people are all the descendants that Mayor Grenor has paid for and cultivated over the years, and several of them are more related by blood and are very reliable.

The defense of low-level mages is fragile, and they already need close protection from warriors and cavalry, so this arrangement is also very reasonable, and it is even more conducive to the exertion of Mage Shirley's strength, and no one thinks there is anything wrong.

After three days in the forest, Eren ordered the team to slow down.

According to the feedback of Lanya and Ini, as well as the results of Mr. Denis's hawkeye reconnaissance, Eren determined that his team had entered the Shadow Forest, and more than ten kilometers further on, it was the patrol range of the Dark Elves' rules.

Inside the tent, Eren found his companions and once again clarified all the objectives of this attack on the Dark Elf Village.

Inside the tent was a huge table with a sand table on it. At the head stood Alan, flanked by Mayor Grenor, Brother Odro, Joey, Master Crow, Mr. Druid, Knight Captain Buck, the Priest, and others.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after a period of marching, we are glad that we have now reached the edge of the Shadow Forest, and we have gathered you today mainly to clarify some things again before the operation begins." Presiding over the meeting is still the team leader Allen.

These days, Allen is recognized by everyone through his personal charisma, his ability to command.

"You say, what should you do, we all listen to you!" Odro was already a little impatient.

"Yes, we are under Mr. Allen's command." Berkeley House Buck Captain said.

"Thank you for your support. First of all, let's make it clear that the ultimate goal of this operation is to help our dark elf friends regain their autonomy and no longer be controlled by others. So if you don't fight the Dark Elves, that's the best! Alan said.

Everyone nodded, this is something that has been known for a long time, but what is there to make the dark elves believe in themselves.

"How is this done?" Joey, who didn't know much about the situation in the Dark Elf Village, asked, "What if the other side sees us as an orc-like invader and full of hostile intentions?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent, although the elves are strong, kind, and peace-loving, they have never believed in humans very much, can their cavalry team that appeared rashly be trusted by the other party, in the camp, half of the people set their eyes on the two dark elf sisters of Ini and Lanya, and the other half looked at Allen.

This matter has long been doubtful in everyone's hearts, and now that the action is imminent, it is time to solve it.

"Thanks to Big Brother Joey's question, gaining the trust of the Dark Elf Village is indeed a very important thing in our operation." Alan said, "I have made arrangements in advance for this, and Miss Lanya can cooperate with me." ”

In fact, when Alan and the others entered the Skader Mountains, Lanya began to look a little anxious, there were too many powers in the Dark Elf Village that made her jealous, and Alan also saw the change in the mood of this Dark Elf lady.

Last night, Alan gave Lanya the antidote to Lust and repeatedly assured her that he would destroy Lilian's altar, and Lanya's heart relaxed a little. After understanding, Alan knew that there were two forces in the Dark Elf Village.

One is the faction dominated by the leader of Leah, who craves power and likes to manipulate, and has completely become Lilian's minions; The other force was the rebels, led by the old elders.

As Lilian's assistant, Leah assassinated the elders of the Dark Elf village and secretly established an altar to ascend to the throne, causing suffering and division in the village. In Lan Ya's opinion, the strength of the old elder faction can be completely co-opted, and even among Liya's faction, many people are just taken by Lilian's strength and choose to give in, if someone leads the resistance, I believe that there are still people willing to support it.

Therefore, Alan agreed with Lanya that she would return to the village and the dark crowd would win over all the forces that could be used.

Inside the tent, Eren briefly explained the situation in the Dark Elf village.

"Miss Lanya will leave us today and sneak back to the Dark Elf Village to fight for the power we can use." Alan explained to his companions present.

"Sister." Inni grabbed Lanya's hand.

Lanya felt the warmth of her sister's palm, she had never mentioned this matter to Ini, but she believed that her sister would understand: "This is what I should do, no matter what, I must take revenge, I must restore peace to our village, you will support me, right!" ”

Faced with her sister's decision, Ini was silent, but she felt very uncomfortable.

Alan continued: "Miss Lanya will not sneak back to the dark elf village for too long, three days at most, during this time, I will keep in touch with her, regardless of whether we can win her over in the end or not, we will act immediately, so as not to leak the traces for a long time, causing the other party to be on guard, and affecting the follow-up actions." ”

Everyone nodded in understanding.

"Everybody look at the sand table. To the east of the Dark Elf Village, there is a piece of high ground with a height difference of about more than a hundred meters, where a team of orcs is stationed, about two hundred people, and a second-order high-level orc leads the camp. Eren explained to everyone the distribution of strength in the Dark Elf Village this time.

"Our current plan of action is to divide the internal forces of the Dark Elves and enlist the help of the Dark Elves. Choose the same time to work together to capture the orc camp and the altar in the Dark Elf village. ”

"Whether it is for the safety of the Dark Elf Village or the small town of Paraya, the ultimate goal of this operation is very clear, to destroy the orcs, destroy the altar, and break Lilian's control here!" Alan said firmly!

Everyone's hearts are hot!

The issues in the tent continued. Everyone had an in-depth discussion around their own strength, the terrain of the Shadow Village, and the opposing forces, how to attack the cavalry force, how many people attacked the orc camp, and how many people entered the attack altar, all of which needed to be carefully planned.

The orcs are physically strong and have amazing combat effectiveness, and there are hundreds of orcs in just one orc camp, which will be a great test for Allen's troop transfer.

Fortunately, the combat arms brought by Allen are not cowardly, compared to other combat units, the cavalry has an incomparable speed advantage over others, and this Allen has created the conditions for a surprise attack.

"There are too many orcs, and we only have a chance of winning if we raid. But it is clear that the other side cannot sit still, so our goal is also very clear, to prevent the opponent's orc cavalry from sitting on the northern giant wolf. According to Lanya's feedback, there are at least 30 giant wolf mounts in the orc camp! Alan said.

"There were more of them, but you robbed a dozen heads." Odro Road.

As soon as these words came out, everyone burst out laughing.

However, this is true, Eren has snatched 23 giant wolves from the orcs, which is really a very impressive number.

"Then it's up to us to see if we can grab the rest this time." Regarding Odero's joke, Alan also replied with a smile.

……

The meeting in the tent lasted more than two hours.

After leaving time for Lanya and Ini to be alone, Alan finds Lanya.

"This is a dispelling potion of confusion for thirty people, and I can only refine so much for a limited time, but I can guarantee that as long as I am willing to break away from the dark elves under Lilian's control, I will definitely help all the dark elves relieve their troubles." Alan handed a bunch of pill bottles to Lan Yadao.

Looking at Allen's serious look, Lanya felt her heartbeat, this warlock boy is really a savior sent by God, with him, there is hope for the dark elf village.

"I'll leave now, and I'll definitely get enough internal response for everyone!" Lanya said firmly.

"Well, no matter what, in the night after three days, you must ensure your own safety, don't attract the attention of Lilian's minions, your life is at stake." Alan said, "Please also take action, control the power you have won by your side, and don't let Lillian get the news." ”

"If you don't have a chance, wait for us to attack. Three days later, in the middle of the night, as soon as you hear the knight's horn and see the fire, you will start to act, we will enter as soon as possible, and the target will go straight to the altar, inside the dark elves, and we will only play a role in assisting decision-making. There will not be much human will imposed. ”

"Well, thank you very much, Mr. Allen. This matter is handled by the dark elves themselves, which is the best outcome. Lan Ya said.

"If you succeed in overthrowing the altar, I'll take you away and set up a village somewhere else, so you don't get Lilian's attention again, okay?" Alan Dao.

Lan Ya was stunned for a moment, and then said: "This is the best!" I will definitely try my best to win everyone's approval for this. ”

"Okay, be careful, be cautious, don't leak the news, if something goes wrong, please notify us in advance, we will raid as soon as possible."

"Alright, I'll be sure to put everything in order for Mr. Allen's raid plan to proceed!"

"Bless you, Miss Lanya." Alan watched Lanya leave.
