The border of the land of law, the forest of tranquility.

As a new day arrives, the sun falls from the sky and spills over the dense forest. The tender green leaves, still stained with dewdrops, reflect the bright light in the sunlight. Originally, this was supposed to be the time when everything awoke from its deep sleep and began a new life. But there was silence in the forest at the moment, and there was no chirping of birds or the murmurs of wild beasts.

The slender figure flashed through the trees, rushing forward. It was several elven maidens, dressed in pale green cloaks and carrying a huge bow made of dark brown wood behind them. The girls' cheeks were obscured by their high-raised collars and hoods, and only the long, fluttering ears proved their identity. The elves were so fast that when they looked up, they could only see afterimages, and they seemed to have no weight at all, and they flew forward lightly on the branches and leaves at their feet, merging with the green forest, without making a sound at all. It wasn't until a moment later that the elves stopped their tracks, looked at each other, and then spread out towards their surroundings.

"Hoo ..............."

Looking at the dark eternal night in the distance, Corinna sighed helplessly, she clenched the longbow in her hand and stared ahead. The forest was a place she knew very well. She was born here as a child and grew up here. But now, everything has changed. Fearing a possible invasion by the Night Nation, the Land of Law has evacuated the inhabitants of the Forest of Tranquility to safer areas. Corinna and the others are in charge of patrolling the border area, so that they can report to the rear as soon as possible in the event of an attack by the Night Nation. And when she thought of this, Corinna felt helpless.

In fact, in the country of law, many elves have a dismissive attitude towards the Night Nation attacking them. Because the geographical location of the Land of Law is very unique, there are mountains everywhere, and there are many difficult and dangerous roads that only elves can climb and walk. Coupled with the Life Enchantment of the Elven Forest and the protection of the Twin Dragons of the Law Country, many elves think that as long as they don't bother others, then others won't bother them. They don't have much interest in the outside world, they just want to be able to live their lives. The elves thought they had nothing to do with it, but Corinna knew that wasn't. As the representative of the Land of Law, Corinna has also experienced the war of the Night Nation against the Land of Atonement. Although, for neutral purposes, she was not directly involved in it. But for Corinna, she already has a fairly deep understanding of war.

Thinking of this, Corinna's mind once again recalled what Rhodes had said to herself in the Land of Atonement.

"Actually, war is very simple."

Corinna remembers that Rod was standing on the rampart of the city wall at the time she said this, overlooking the hellish battlefield below. The smell of fishy and death made Corinna, as an elf, feel unbearable. But Rhodes didn't have the slightest expression.

"In every war, we give it all sorts of meanings before, during, and after the war. But alas, all of this is meaningless, whether it's for peace, freedom, survival, justice, or whatever other mess is the same. But to put it bluntly, war is a product of the inability to compromise with each other. It's like two people arguing. If you can't reach a consensus, then it's like a dry fight. may break the blood flow, break the muscles and bones, and even lose your life. But in hindsight. These fights were avoidable. We always see historians in history books saying that if so......... And if that......... then a war would not have broken out. But unfortunately, history has no ifs, and people cannot compromise. It's like you can't convince a wolf not to eat meat, or you can't persuade a goat to obediently send itself into the jaws of a tiger. We stand here just so that we will not be conquered and destroyed. And here they are. Just to conquer and destroy us. There is only one fundamental reason for the outbreak of this war. That is, here we stand..............." As he spoke, Rhodes gestured to the wall beneath his feet and held out his hand. Point to the eternal night in the distance. “………… And they're standing there, it's as simple as that. ”

We stand here.

Corinna looked at the forest beside her and shook her head helplessly. After Rhodes became the Void Dragon, due to the more high-level contact between the two sides, Corinna also relieved the envoy of the Kingdom of Law and returned to the Forest of Elves, and when she made her resignation report, she also expressed her concern about the aggressive ambitions of the Kingdom of Night, and thought that the Kingdom of Law should be more vigilant against it. However, most elves don't take this very seriously, and think that Corinna is nosy and unfounded. In their opinion, there was no need for the Elven Forest to worry about the possibility of other countries launching aggression against them. And in fact, even now, the order of the dragon of ephris evacuated the inhabitants of the Forest of Tranquility. In the eyes of the elves, it was just a precaution, and they didn't think that the Night Country would really dare to attack the Law Country.

And in the face of this optimistic and naïve idea of her compatriots, Corinna had no way to say anything. She actually empathizes with her own compatriots. If you hadn't left this forest, then you would naturally feel that the entire world was peaceful, and there weren't many disputes at all. And the elves' indifferent nature also ensures that they don't fight like shrews over trivial things. It is precisely because of this that they think that the entire world is similar to the environment around them. Only an elf like Corinna, who has traveled abroad and experienced war, can understand and appreciate the meaning of this more deeply. As for the flowers in the greenhouse, if they don't see them and experience them for themselves, then it's useless to say anything.

"Mistress Corinna!"

At this moment, two elves flew past from the left and right sides, and landed lightly beside Corinna.

"Everything is normal all around, nothing out of the ordinary."

Hearing her subordinate's report, Corinna thought for a moment, then nodded and spoke.

"Good, we ....................."

“——————！！！”

However, before Corinna could finish her words, suddenly, a low explosion sounded, which made Corinna startled, and she looked up to the place where the sound came from, only to see that in the forest to the northeast, at this moment billowing black smoke, the flames splashed and spread around, slowly but surely swallowing everything in it. Soon, dozens of meteorite-like fireballs fell from the sky and bombarded the forest.

"There's an enemy attack!"

After seeing this scene, Corinna's heart immediately tightened, and she turned her head to look at her two subordinates. Seeing their pale and frightened faces, Corinna couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Although the elven warriors who followed him this time were all powerful elf warriors, the ——— training ground was completely different from the actual combat.

"Shafir! You immediately notify the patrol guards and ask them to isolate the rear to ensure that the fire does not spread to the center. Nest, you go and gather the rest of the people, immediately withdraw from the front line, go to the first front line to build a defense, and I'll go see how Tina and the others are doing! ”

"Lord Corinna, we're going to fight too!"

Hearing Corinna's order, the two elves suddenly came back to their senses, before this, they were also the same as other elves, thinking that if people don't offend me, I won't offend people, and it is impossible for anyone to attack the country of law. And now, that fragile illusion is completely shattered. But they were well-trained warriors after all, and it only took a moment to come to their senses.

"Don't mess around, it's an order, do it immediately!"

After saying this, Corinna didn't even look at her two subordinates, and galloped towards the place where the fire broke out.

Corinna's figure weaved through the jungle like a sturdy cheetah, the tangled vines and low branches that didn't hurt Corinna at all. In the blink of an eye, she was already on the outskirts of the battlefield. Rao is Corinna was mentally prepared, and instinctively gasped when she saw the scene in front of her.

"It's too much ............!"

The green, dense, and tranquil woods were completely gone, replaced by a raging sea of fire, flames burning on the ground and trees, igniting everything around them, and the acrid smoke scattered and burned the place to the ground.

"———— huh!!"

Just as Corinna was about to look further for the three elven guards who had been patrolling here, she suddenly turned around and leaped backwards. Almost as Corinna jumped, a dazzling red flash of light sped past her, and then slammed into the ground, only to hear a loud "boom", and the burning flames erupted behind Corinna. And she flipped over and landed on a branch like a goshawk, and it was only by this time that Corinna looked up and discovered the true face of the enemy standing in front of her.

It was a strange man who had shrouded himself in black robes, a tall black tricorne hat covering his head, and only the eyes had two black holes out of the cavern, which shone with an eerie magical glow. The most striking thing is the three red flames drawn on the forehead of the top hat. They look as if they are alive, and if you look closely, they seem to be jumping incessantly.

On the left hand of the black-robed monster, he was holding a bright red chain, and at the other end of the chain, an elemental monster with flames burning all over his body could be seen standing there, staring at him angrily.

This time, Corinna knew very well that she was in big trouble.

PS: Today is the day of burning, let's have a good time! (To be continued......)
