Chapter 12: The Task of the Brave
"Queen Arya! Looks like you've got a lot of internal injuries, do you need my help? I know that my abilities are weak, but I would like to go to the fire. ”
"Warrior of the human race, your eyesight is really good, maybe Lady Luck sent you to help the elven race. I don't have to worry about my injuries, a few days ago, the underground ghost clan suddenly attacked the town, I underestimated the strength of the demon king Bala, and let Bala's anger hurt my internal organs during the battle. However, Barra has also been severely injured by the Divine Water, but his men will return in a few days to rob our elves of the treasure of the Divine Tree. If it is robbed by the ghost clan, not only will the sacred tree wither and the elven clan will perish. The Spirit of the Divine Tree can also allow Barra to heal from his injuries and break through the Five Elements Formation of the Human Holy Magister hundreds of years ago, thus attacking your human world. Ask the warriors of the human race to help the elves through the difficult time and resolve this crisis, and the elven race will not forget your merits. ”
Yichen's head grew after listening to it, the war between the two races is not trivial, which can be dominated by a player who has just played for a few days. Needless to say, even if all players join forces, they may not be able to help much, and this time the system is making a big joke.
But the elf queen is very sincere, and it is difficult to refuse directly.
"Queen Arya! It's not that I don't want to do my best, I'm afraid that with my current ability, I'm afraid I'm not even as good as the children of the elf race. I'm afraid I won't be able to do much if you give me such a difficult task. ”
"Huh! You are too modest, and I can naturally tell at a glance that your rank is not high, but the human understanding of war is far higher than that of the elves, who have no quarrel with the world. Although my people are very capable, especially the innate advantage of elven archers, they are too inexperienced in combat. The sudden battle a few days ago disrupted the clansmen's positions and confidence, but fortunately, the strength of the ghost clan was not perfectly restored, and they barely resisted the sudden attack. Now that I am too badly wounded to command my people, I need human experience and cunning, which may be the real reason why Lady Luck has sent you. ”
The Elf Queen's frank admission touched him very much, her own strength is indeed very weak, but resourcefulness may be able to play a certain role. Although the difficulty of the task given by the system to the player is far beyond the player's strength, there should also be a certain opportunity to use the overall strength of the elven race to fight.
If you can complete this huge task, the rewards will definitely be rich; If it fails, Yichen estimates that the elven race will not really perish. Fortunately, I tried my best to fight, and I couldn't do great things without guts.
"Queen Arya! I am willing to use my best ability to help the elves through the difficulties, and I am willing to live and die with the elves. ”
"Warriors of the human race, the fate of the elves depends on you. Standing outside, Gerald is a great archer, and he will do his best to lead the elves to you. ”
Yichen made up his mind to complete this rare task.
"The player has triggered the hidden mission - Trial of the Brave, and the ghost clan attack has 72 hours remaining."
Yichen cared about Queen Arya's health and hurriedly left to discuss a specific method with Gerald. Gerald was the nimble archer, and it turned out that he was the battle captain of the elves.
Yichen asked a lot about the specific situation of the elf town, and also had a general understanding of the problem in front of him. The elven town is built in the middle of the lake, surrounded by sacred lakes on three sides, and only a long road three meters wide in front can be entered.
The lake is deeply nourished by the elven sacred tree, and the lake water has pure divine water, which is the energy that restrains the ghost clan, so the ghost clan will not attack from the lake on three sides. Then only this three-meter-wide long road is a frontal battlefield, which also makes Yichen have a lot less worries and more confidence.
When the elves enter a state of war, the town will be protected by the sacred tree and covered with sharp barbs, and the members of the elven clan will also be protected by the sacred tree to form defensive armor. The entire elven town is simply a strong fortress, and the power of the sacred tree really has different repercussions.
"Captain Gerrard! How many combatants do we have? How many ghosts will there be? ”
"We have more than 700 elven archers and more than 200 elven warriors. The Oni Clan came with thousands of different monsters last time, and this time there may be even more. ”
"No, it won't! I think the elves have a lot of population, how can there be only such a small number of combatants? The population of the ghost clan is also too large, how did you resist it last time? Yichen was surprised: there were too few elven warriors.
"Brave humans, don't underestimate the strength of the elves. Most of the elves love peace, and although they can use weapons, they will put all their trust in us who have been transferred, and we will not disappoint them. Those mongrels of the ghost clan not only have their own casters, but also drive many wild beasts to be slaves. Our archers are blessed with the power of the sacred tree and can strangle their opponents in patches, but unfortunately last time we lost more than three hundred melee warriors. ”
Yichen saw Gerald's sad expression, and also felt that his words were a little excessive. Although there are few fighters of the elven race, they are blessed with the power of the divine tree and have a firm belief, which can be said to be the right time, place, and people.
The field of war was limited to a long road three meters wide, which favored the concentrated attack of the archers, and as long as there were enough melee personnel, the advantage of the battle was still obvious. It's a pity that the number of more than 200 elven warriors is relatively small, and even if they are brave and good at fighting, they may not be able to resist the next attack.
"Captain Gerrard! I'm sorry for what I just said. I believe in the strength of your elven race, but the personnel of the elven warriors are still too small, and we must make reasonable use of the personnel to maximize the combat effectiveness. ”
"Huh! The Elven Queen trusts humans a lot, and I'm sure you'll help us through this. For the sake of the survival and glory of the elves, our sacrifice is worth it. Captain Gerrard said with great courage.
"We have to act as soon as possible, although the people who have not been transferred to the battlefield cannot go to the battlefield, but the preparation before the war needs everyone's help. You have to mobilize all your personnel now, and we can only defeat a formidable enemy by relying on the strength of unity. ”
Yichen already had some plans, and traps could be arranged on the three-meter-wide road. That bamboo forest can be used to make use of local materials to create sharp sharp weapons, which can be placed at the bottom of the trap.
Yichen reuses the knowledge he knows to make some simple mechanical devices. The toughness of the bamboo is very good, you can use two long bamboos tied together as the bow arm of the giant crossbow, some of the thicker bamboo is cut in half and hollowed out in the middle can be used as a groove for arrows, the crossbow bed is tied with very hard wood, especially the crossbow string woven from the tangerine peel that falls off the sacred tree, the toughness and elasticity are very good, and the sharpened bamboo can be directly used as an arrow.
The giant crossbow made of simple materials is not only simple to operate, but also powerful, and the lethality of the oni clan is even stronger if the arrows are soaked in the lake. Rows of sharpened bamboos were then tied together and stood diagonally on a three-meter-wide long path to resist the close range of the ghost clan and minimize the casualties of the elven warriors.
