Chapter 276: Negrim of the Counterattack (Nineteen)
The war horses that have been locked up in the pet space for a long time are in a state of tension and excitement when they breathe fresh air for the first time, but fortunately, whether it is Chen Kai, their war horses or the elves' wildebeests are very good, and they will not feel unwell because of staying in the pet space for a long time.
After getting rid of those winter wolves who behaved abnormally, Chen Kai and the others quickly distanced themselves from the demons, and the green grass could be seen everywhere in this woodland, and there were even brightly colored flowers blooming all over it. Of course, soon the flowers were trampled by the hooves of the horses and turned into a pile of mud, as the riders on the galloping horses were frantically urging the horses to speed up.
In fact, the black dwarves were on the verge of vomiting by now, but they were still gritting their teeth and lying on their horses, and they were holding on to the reins of their horses so as not to be thrown off their horses. To be honest, if it weren't for the demons behind, these dwarves would definitely not want to ride a war horse, they would rather walk on their legs than ride a horse, but there was no way to choose whether to spit on the horse's back or be eaten by the demons, they chose the former without hesitation. After all, if you vomit on horseback, at least your life is still there, but if you are eaten by a demon, you won't even be able to protect your soul.
So even though it was uncomfortable to ride on the horses, the black dwarves gritted their teeth and kept speeding up for the first time. As for the direction, these dwarves don't have to worry about it, under the control of Lal, all the war horses, even the elven wildebeests, will run with it, and there will be no situation where everyone scatters on horseback and flees.
Under Chen Kai's control, they ran wildly in one direction, because only this direction did not have the breath of the devil, so they could only run there. The magic that was constantly blessed on his eyes made Chen Kai's eyes hurt, but he still didn't want to cancel it, because in this forest, you can easily get lost while running, and you won't be able to run back. It would be too bad if that were the case, the demons would welcome them back, and would perform a bloody welcome ceremony with their mouths and claws.
Although Chen Kai was happy to turn those demons into his own experience points, he would never want his head to become a pendant around the demon's neck. If there were not many demons behind him, he would never mind if the war horse ran in the wrong direction and got into the arms of the demons. But the problem is that God knows how many demons are behind it. The huge and terrifying demonic aura made Chen Kai's eyes tingle and he wanted to dig it out, as long as he looked back, no matter how sleepy Chen Kai was, he would be awakened in an instant.
However, as the speed of the war horse became faster and faster, Chen Kai and they gradually got farther and farther away from the demon, and of course, on the other hand, they were getting closer and closer to Teramis. In fact, if Chen Kai hadn't caused his eyes to hurt because of the divine arts, he might have found a problem, that is, some of the winter wolves around him slowly turned around after seeing them.
After galloping for nearly half an hour, even if the horse was extremely abundant, it was a little unbearable, and had to slowly reduce its speed. If they continue to run like this, not to mention whether they will run to death or not, the black dwarf will definitely vomit and faint. So even though they knew that they were not out of danger, Chen Kai and the others still had to slowly reduce their speed and let the horses enter a state of jogging to continue to move forward.
"We should be almost to Terramis now, right?" Chen Kai gasped and sat on his war horse and asked Fei Yun beside him, because now they really don't know where they are. The ground in the forest is empty. Unlike the Denzel Forest, which was densely packed with huge trees in the past, there are still some fallen trees, but many more have been broken down into materials and transported back to Terramis as building materials. However, the wood that has been eroded by evil forces is extremely fragile, and even if it is compressed into planks by magic, it will not last long, and more wood will completely decay and become nutrients in the soil before it can be used. The purified ancient trees were very completely decomposed, so Chen Kai and the others couldn't see a single ancient tree that fell to the ground, you must know that at that time, when Chen Kai and they fled from Teramis, there were countless huge ancient trees that fell to the ground, but now they can hardly see it.
So even if Fei Yun had the impression of Teramis's surroundings in his memory, he didn't use it now, and they could only rely on guesswork to judge the direction of Teramis. However, Fei Yun quickly gained a reference as he climbed the treetops, which was a tall black tower. Such a sign certainly didn't exist in the past, but now that it's there, it only means that the tower belongs to the ancient mages and that they made it in a short period of time.
"What a miraculous building!" Chen Kai and Romans, who were lying on the tree pole, looked at the black tower in the distance. It was still twenty or thirty kilometers away from the tower, and the long forest blocked almost all view, but even so, a slender tower was still seen on the horizon and stuck into the clouds. Because the world continent of Etia is much larger than it really is, the surface of the ground is much smaller. Because of this, some miracle buildings can be even more magnificent. Even from tens or even hundreds of kilometers away, you can see huge buildings jutting into the clouds or towering above the ground. There was no doubt that in Chen Kai's eyes, the Black Tower was such a building, and they had almost no time to look up before, otherwise they would definitely have discovered this tall tower very early.
With the same reference as a landmark building, Chen Kai and the others naturally did not need to change the direction they were heading. The most important thing is that in the case of demons in the future, seeking the protection of the ancient mage becomes the only choice for everyone. In fact, Chen Kai and the others could also choose to escape directly from the Denzel Forest from the other direction, but according to the scale of the demons, they still chose to seek the protection of the ancient mage, after all, no matter how you look at it, those demons seem to have the ability and strength to completely occupy the entire Denzel Forest. Until these demons and the ancient mages were divided, they still honestly ran to the territory of the ancient mages to seek refuge and safety. As for whether they will be captured or killed as enemies, now they can only gamble their luck.
As Chen Kai and the others approached Teramis, the demon army stopped at the edge a hundred kilometers away from Teramis. This situation came as a surprise to the Elder Mages, because as long as they went some further, they could summon their forces to strike at them from a distance, but they stopped. For the ancient mages, this feeling is like seeing a very tempting beauty lying on the bed, but the pants are almost off, and the beauty becomes a cold-faced tough guy. This kind of depression made the ancient mages feel very depressed, but there was no way, if those demons stepped into the attack range, there was no doubt that the initiative was in the hands of the ancient mages, but if they stopped, the initiative fell into the hands of the demons.
In fact, it was Negrim's idea for the demon army to stop moving. Because he was worried that the huge demon legions would be attacked by the spells of the ancient mages when they entered the range of Tellamis. He considered the idea of dividing the troops, but once the troops were divided, it would be difficult to gather them again, and they might even be broken one by one by the ancient mages and then completely destroyed.
However, the other demon didn't care about Negrim's entanglement, and when Negrim's demon army stopped, Sagrimmar still drove his men forward, and soon squeezed away the demons around him and entered the range of the Denzel Forest.
"Moon Demon! This elven territory is now mine, and you can try your luck elsewhere! Ha ha! "Sagrimmar wasn't stupid, he could clearly tell the difference between the two ends of the forest. With the white ice and snow forest on one side and the lush green jungle on the other, if there is no difference between the two sides, then he is not a demon lord but a demon idiot.
"Really? What do you want if I don't agree? And I don't think you have such good teeth, you can't eat this elven territory! "Negrim really wants to have Sagrimma as a striker. But the thought only flashed through his mind and quickly disappeared, and he feared that the demons would discover the secrets of these ancient mages after suffering a big loss, and then affect his plan to save the queen.
"What! Moon Demon! Do you think I can't even take an elven city? Sagrimmar slowly pulled out his huge halberd and pointed it at Negrim, who looked at the giant elephant demon in front of him with a funny expression.
"Sagrimmar! It's not that I underestimate you, I'll make a bet with you, okay? If you rush into the forest now, you will definitely be hit by those elven spells in less than half an hour, if those elves are not strong enough, how can you lose those men? Negrim's words made Sagrimmar furious, because he didn't want to be provoked by the scars that Negrim had directly revealed. Of course, he didn't know that these words were all Negrim's precautionary shots against these demons when they were attacked by spells. If this precautionary shot continues, those demons will not suspect anything else even if they are attacked by a spell, because Negrim has warned them in advance.
"Shut up! Moon Demon! Don't underestimate the great Sagrimmar, I'll show you my power. Those small elves will perish with the fall of my halberd, and your soul will be mine!! After Sagrimmar finished speaking, he slammed a huge halberd on an ancient tree, and then rushed into the verdant forest with tens of thousands of his demon subordinates.
"Yo! Moon Demon: Did you make a bet with Sagrimmar? Don't worry, even if you lose, I'll leave a door for you in the biggest room in the elven territory, and you can come to me at night! ~~" Gentle fingers caressed Negrim's chest. Jamephiz slowly left with a flattering smile on his face. In her opinion, Sagremar could not have lost, because even if the elves were prepared, they would definitely not be able to withstand the attack of the demon army, and if it weren't for this, there would not have been an elf to attack and delay the time. In the succubus's opinion, the number of elves in this elven territory is definitely not too many, and perhaps most of them have already escaped. If they don't run away, then they won't send those elven powerhouses to attack and harass. Thus gaining more time for escape.
So Jamelfis's idea of Negrim, the absolute moon demon, was a bit unfounded, if those elves had the courage to launch a spell attack on them, then they could have sent more people to attack instead of just a few elves. Because Jamefes didn't think Sagrimmar would lose. In her opinion, Negrim's bet with Sagrimar was completely self-defeating.
"Really? Miss Amephis, I don't mind replacing him with your soul if Sagrimmar loses, you are more valuable than him in my opinion! Negrim clasped his hands around his chest and smiled, as he could already feel a faint wave of spells in the air, and it was clear that the ancient mages were already preparing to do so.
While the succubus was annoyed by Negrim's words, Sagrimmar had already galloped for kilometers with the demon's vanguard, and they were marching in a hurry. At this speed, they could reach Teramis in about half an hour, appearing before the ancient mages. But the problem is that in Negrim's opinion, it will not take half an hour for these roaring demons to flee back, and of course some of them may never return.
In fact, Negrim underestimated the insidious nature of the ancient mages, and in order to keep the demons out of the forest, they used the Winter Wolf and the Earth Bear to set up a very rudimentary line of defense. The only role of these winter wolves and bears is to block the demons when they rush at them, and then let the ancient mages pour all their spells on the demons' heads.
When Sagrimmar rushed into the forest. The winter wolves were already arrayed, surrounding the Earth Bears, blocking the demon's path. When the winter wolves saw the demons, they began to summon ice storms, countless dense hailstones rained down on the demons, and the Earth Bears began to frantically slap the ground and set off waves of ground thorns. These magic fluctuations masked the fluctuations of the slowly forming magic circle above the demons' heads, and using the remaining power of the few mana pools and forcibly absorbing the power of some demon elf domination, the ancient mages began to unleash a spell of great range.
"Dead stinky dog! Nothing can stop my great Sagremar, even if the gods are in front of me, they will be knocked out of my way!! The five-meter-long halberd swept fiercely, and the body of an Earth Bear that could almost completely destroy Chen Kai and his players was instantly sliced open, and the huge bear body was quickly smashed away by Sagrimmar's huge body. Of course, on the other side, Sagronzo's power was even more terrifying, and he directly used his four hooves to continuously release terrifying shock waves. Although some of them were blocked by those Earth Bears, there were still winter wolves that were blasted out.
When Jamephes stepped into battle. Negrim seemed to see more than a dozen purple-robed ancient mages appear in the sky for a moment, and then the rolling clouds in the sky began to fall one after another huge ice. For the Elder Mages, they had a myriad of spells to attack demons, but there was no doubt that summoning these massive pieces of ice was the most mana-saving and effective attack. The massive ice is accelerated by gravity and produces powerful attacks, and the most important thing is that they explode when they hit the ground.
When Sagrimmar spotted the ice, two half-human-tall pieces of ice grazed his body and fell to the ground, and then the shattered ice ballast slammed directly into his massive body. Although such an impact could not hurt him at all, it was an out-and-out slap in the face for Sagrimmar, because there was no doubt that he lost his bet with Negrim.
"Damn the Moon Demon! I'm not going to fail, you're going to cheat! The roaring Sagremar was not willing to accept his defeat, but he had to retreat under such a dense spell blow. Although such a spell did no harm to him at all. But the other demons couldn't bear it. As long as the demon below the seventh order is hit by solid ice, it will basically be directly stoned to death, and the demon above the seventh order will be injured if it is not stoned to death, and then shattered into countless pieces in the ice explosion. In such a situation, if Sagrimmar had to force his attack, then by the time he reached the 'Elven Territory', he would only have a few hundred men left. Therefore, Sagrimmar, who was extremely unwilling in her heart, had to start retreating, and tens of thousands of demons fled back like dogs.
"Huh! What do you think? Lord Sagremar! Elven spells taste good, right? Negrim sat quietly on a branch and nibbled on a leaf. Other demons stand not far away, catching rats, rabbits and other animals to satisfy their hunger, or simply crouching on the ground and watching jokes. As for the main foot of the joke, it is naturally the wolf bèi Mistress Sagremar, who still has a lot of ice ballast on his body and his face is as cold as ice ballast.
"Moon Demon! You didn't mean to, and you didn't hide something from us! Sagrim angrily raised his halberd and pointed it at Negrim, for he had lost three or four thousand of his men this time without even seeing the enemy's face.
"I don't have anything to hide from you! Mistress Sagremar. It's just that you don't have eyes, and you don't even see such a tall mage tower rushing over there. Luckily, I'm not from the same abyss as you, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to afford to lose this person. Only demons in the backcountry wouldn't recognize it as a mage tower! Negrim said with a smile as he pointed to the Black Tower in the distance, and Sagrimmar's face was as black as the bottom of a pot when he heard his words.
"Then why didn't you say it earlier!!" The Giant Elephant Demon roared angrily, if it was possible that he really would have hacked Negrim to death like a halberd, but now he had expended a considerable amount of strength to protect his men from escaping. So he was not sure to kill the opponent with one blow, and the most important thing was that he made a bet with the opponent and lost. Although the two sides did not use the contract to bind the bet, if he was the victor, he would definitely capture Negrim's soul, even if it was violence, and now Negrim would not say anything if he attacked the demons around Sagrimmar.
"I think you've all seen it! But I didn't expect it...... Gee! Negrim smiled, but didn't choose to attack him, because he knew that even if he did, he wouldn't be able to take Sagrimmar in a short time. On top of that, he's busy directing his troops to attack now, and with Sagrimmar attracting a spell attack, Negrim knows that it will take a little time for the opponent to perform a second spell attack, and he uses this time to speed up and rush into Teramis. (To be continued......)
