Chapter 509: The Elf Princess Who Came Back
Orcs are fast.
Two days later, the bridge had been repaired to a position just over 200 meters away from the cliff on this side.
At this time, on the elven side, the two crossbows had been completed.
When Denise led the people and carefully pushed the two crossbows in front of the queen, the new queen of the elves, who had just registered, froze in place, her face pale.
The huge winch, the thick rope, and the iron arrows that were several times thicker and longer than the spear, and extremely sharp, all shocked her and completely frightened her.
Even if her Dolma is shot with such a bow and arrow, with just one arrow, I am afraid that it will not escape the doom.
Denise's eyes looked at Chu Xiaoye, who was still transformed into an elf boy, and took the initiative to speak for the first time: "There are two more, you can come out tonight." β
Chu Xiaoye circled around the crossbows of the two cars, and praised sincerely: "Lord Denise, your skill and speed are really beyond my expectations. With you, the elves will surely win. β
The queen smiled.
Denise's fair face turned red, and she bowed her head slightly and said, "Don't call me an adult, just call me Denise." I can't do anything without you. β
This tall, clear and quiet girl looked at him with sincere admiration and gratitude.
At this time, Velis, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly lowered her head and muttered: "Night, I think, we are all our own people, so let's not bet......"
Chu Xiaoye turned her head and looked at her in surprise.
What about the glory and dignity of knights and great swordsmen?
The giant sword little Lori's face was hot, but she still raised her chin and said arrogantly: "I'm afraid that if you lose, you will never be free again." Since they are all my own people, I have decided not to bother with you, and the previous bet will be invalidated. β
"You dream!"
Chu Xiaoye would not easily let go of this opportunity to humiliate her.
It was she who had been aggressive, and she was forced to fight back, and now that she saw these two crossbows, she suddenly had to regret it again, how could this be?
"You are a knight, a great swordsman of the elf clan, and what you said is not a fart that you have let go!"
Chu Xiaoye sneered unceremoniously.
Velis blushed, and when she saw that everyone was looking at her, she had to bite the bullet and say angrily: "I'm afraid that you will lose, so I'm ready to spare you!" Since you don't appreciate it, pull it down! When the time comes, don't cry and say to the queen that I bullied you! β
"Huh."
Chu Xiaoye sneered: "When the time comes, it's definitely not me." β
"Humph!"
Veris didn't look away, her chest rising and falling violently.
After a while, she saw that everyone was not paying attention to her, so Fang quietly walked to Anne's side and whispered, "Princess, you promised me before that you would give me a mount. You didn't keep your promise, and I won't pursue it now. But you'll have to help me convince that guy to cancel the bet. β
Anne couldn't help but laugh and whispered, "No, Willis, I know his temper. Unless ......"
"Unless what?"
Veris's eyes lit up.
Anne whispered, "Unless you give in, beg him, and apologize for what happened before." β
"He's dreaming!"
Veris refused, a little annoyed and angry.
To make her plead and apologize to a lion is simply an insult to her identity and the sword on her shoulder!
No way!
"Orcs are not so easy to deal with, his crossbow arrows are too bulky to be taken by surprise, and it may have been effective at first, but when the orcs rush over with the corpse on their heads, it will be useless."
Willis looked old-fashioned.
She has been at war with orcs for so many years, so she naturally understands.
Anne shrugged her shoulders and said, "Perhaps." β
But she knew in her heart that this time, this elf carrying a giant sword would definitely lose.
In the evening, the four elven captains finally returned.
The elf captain named Lori said to Lanixi, "Your Majesty, we have brought five hundred barrels of fire oil from the back mountain, is it enough?" β
The queen's gaze looked at Chu Xiaoye on the side.
Chu Xiaoye looked at the canyon, nodded, and said, "That's enough." I took a look at the edge of the cliff before, and the orc army on the opposite side was about 10,000 people, and if they all entered this canyon, the fire oil should be more than enough. β
Lan Nixi looked at him in astonishment, and said, "Night, you are standing on the edge of the cliff and can clearly see the orc army on the opposite side?" And can you count the number of people on the other side? β
"It's going to brag!"
Veris walked over, looking incredulous.
The two sides of the cliff are far apart, and there are clouds and mist floating in the middle, and there is a forest of ice and snow on the opposite side, even if the orc army on the opposite side is in flames, it is difficult to see clearly, let alone count the number of people on the opposite side.
"I can see clearly."
Chu Xiaoye didn't explain, and he was sure of it.
The queen looked at him with a twinkle in her eyes, and suddenly remembered that when the two of them duel in the arena before, the other party spewed out a puff of black smoke, which made her lose her vision, and before she could react, the claws were already against her throat.
"Night, I believe in you."
The queen had a smile on her face, a little excited, and couldn't help but take his hand and said, "I will definitely keep my promise." β
Such a talent, no matter what the price is, she has to keep him.
"Ahem! Ahem! β
Veris couldn't stand it anymore, and changed the subject: "Your Majesty, did you waste so much labor and transport so much oil just to light the torch?" β
This was actually said to a certain guy.
Lan Nixi nodded and said with a smile: "Well, it's just to light the torch." β
After speaking, she suddenly woke up, looked at Chu Xiaoye and said, "Oh no, we seem to have forgotten to make more torches?" β
Chu Xiaoye was stunned for a moment, and found that he seemed to have a little high regard for this queen before.
He shook his head and said, "There is no need for torches, Your Majesty, order them to carry all the fire oil up the slopes on both sides of the canyon, and hide behind those big rocks, and all the people will lie in ambush there." β
The queen looked at him, a little suspicious that she had misheard.
All the people are lying in ambush on it, so isn't this canyon unimpeded?
Past the canyon, it was their city.
With the ferocity of the orcs, they will definitely rush out of the canyon and into their city like a flood.
Could it be that at that time, they could only watch their city destroy from the hillside?
"Stupid!"
Wei Li said unceremoniously: "Your Majesty, you can't listen to this guy anymore." I'll lead the team at the mouth of the canyon, and as long as the orcs cross the bridge, we'll rush forward, and we must not let them go a step forward!" The bridge is not wide, although there are many orcs, but it is impossible to come all at once, as long as we stick there and do not take a step back, it will be difficult for them to rush over. β
Frankly, it's a good idea.
The narrow bridge restricted the orcs from coming together like a tidal wave, which gave the elven soldiers the opportunity to concentrate their efforts on the small group.
However, Chu Xiaoye knew that there were only more than a thousand people left in the elf clan now, and most of them were women and children, and if they faced each other like this, there would definitely be a lot of casualties.
Moreover, the army of orcs will continue to rush over, and when the time comes, I am afraid of more than a thousand elves, and most of them will die heroically at the bridgehead in the end.
So, what's the point of winning this war in the end?
"Your Majesty, please believe me. The bridge must not be guarded, let alone the only remaining fire of the elf clan, with life and blood. Abandon the bridgehead and let the orcs into the canyon, I have my own way to deal with it. β
Chu Xiaoye's gaze was firm.
"Zhengβ"
Veris suddenly pulled out the sword on her shoulder, looked at him with a cold gaze and said, "You are a spy!" I want to completely destroy my elves! Your Majesty, you can't listen to him! β
This battle is related to the life and death of the entire elven race, and her worries and worries are not unreasonable.
Queen Lan Nixi frowned, seeming to be a little hesitant.
She did trust Chu Xiaoye, but in this matter, in fact, she and Veris had the same thoughts, after all, they had experienced a lot of battles together.
"Sister, listen to the night."
Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice came from the side.
The big black bear suddenly stood upright, with a look of surprise on his face.
Lan Nixi's body shook, turned her head, and looked at the girl in the white dress.
Anne's face showed a resolute look similar to hers, her eyes trembled, and she said softly: "It's me, sister, I'm back." β
"Annie!"
Lan Nixi walked over and hugged her, tears glistening in her eyes.
Her soul and memories are finally back.
"Believe in the night, he's right."
Anne said softly.
Lan Nixi let go of her, choked back tears, nodded, and said, "Hmm." β
Veris stood aside, slowly inserted the sword into the scabbard, and said in a trembling voice: "Princess, since you believe him, then I also choose to believe." β
Since childhood, the relationship between the two of them has been the best, she knows this princess, and the wisdom of the princess is definitely above her.
Anne walked up to her and hugged her as well.
Veris cried with joy.
"Denise, thank you."
After hugging Veris, Anne looked at the arrow girl on the side and thanked her softly.
Now that Lanes has become the queen, it means that they have finally done it, and they have succeeded.
As for the old queen, she never thought that the other party was her mother, let alone recognized the other party as the king of the elven race.
"Night."
Princess Anne turned around, looked at Chu Xiaoye, and said, "Thank you too." Without you, my soul and memories would never come back. β
Chu Xiaoye said with a cold face: "What about my Annie? β
The princess smiled, came over, took his hand, put it on her warm face, and whispered, "Your Anne is here too." We're all together, I'm here, she's there. β
Chu Xiaoye was stunned for a moment, and withdrew his hand, feeling a little strange.
The princess didn't have any more affection, turned her head to look at Lan Nixi and said, "Sister, give all the rights to the night, until the end of this battle, all the people of the elf clan must listen to his orders." β
Her tone was not like a request, but like a command, and there was no room for refusal.
But the queen did not have any displeasure, nor did she hesitate, and immediately ordered the four captains of the guard to pass on her orders.
In every battle, the princess had her own ideas, but no one believed in her, and no one gave her rights, because she was always directed at her mother, and was not appreciated and favored by the queen.
She could only fight silently by herself, until in the end, she became a traitor.
Now that Lanes is the queen, Lanni is willing to give her all the rights and respect.
Chu Xiaoye left with the four elven captains, he had to personally lead them to arrange those terrible fire oils, and every barrel had to be cautious, otherwise it was likely that all the work he had done would be wasted.
Moreover, there are many things that he needs to tell them personally.
This battle is related to his and Catherine's lives, and he must do it himself, and he cannot afford to make a mistake.
He turned into a lion and climbed the hill with agility.
His sword and clothes fell to the ground and were held in Catherine's mouth.
"Look, how dutiful the night is."
The queen looked at his busy back and said with relief.
The princess did not speak.
The queen sighed and said, "Annie, you have also seen that the night needs a swordsman, who should he give him?" β
The princess was silent for a moment, and said, "He is very wise and of great use to us elves, and he really needs a guard to protect him. is both a sword attendant and a guard, there are not many such candidates. β
Lan Nixi sighed again, looked at Veris, and said, "Veris, do you have a candidate in mind?" β
Veris froze for a moment and shook her head.
However, the queen's eyes were still looking at her.
The princess's gaze looked at the cliff.
At this time, she didn't waste time on this kind of thing, she needed to check and fill in the gaps, and help the elf boy plug any gaps that were accidentally left behind.
"Veris, we all want to leave the night in the elves, right?"
Seeing that she still didn't react, the queen had to be more obvious.
Veris was silent for a few seconds, and then said, "He does have some skills. β
The queen walked up to her, took her hand, and whispered, "So, let's find a way to keep him, okay?" β
Veris looked up at the Queen, waiting for her next words.
The queen smiled, blinked, and said, "Men, in addition to liking power and money, are women, especially beautiful women." You tell me? β
Veris showed a hint of mockery on her face, and said, "Our elven clan has nothing else now, but there are a lot of beautiful women, all kinds of them, and that guy will definitely linger." Your Majesty can rest assured. β
The queen raised her hand, helped her comb her sideburns, looked at her beautiful and lovely face, and said, "Veris, I mean that the night needs a wife, a real wife. As for the other girls, he could pick whatever he wanted, as long as his wife agreed. β
Willis's face changed slightly, as if she sensed something.
She looked at her queen with trembling eyes, and said with some disbelief: "Your Majesty, is it ...... You...... Are you going to sacrifice yourself? β
Lanes stroked her forehead and closed her eyes, feeling tired.
She stopped beating around the bush, and directly looked at the petite girl who was skilled in swordsmanship and couldn't do it and said, "Veris, you are born with divine power, even if you hold two swords, you are also at ease." Moreover, you and Ye were the first to know each other, so why don't you ......"
"Sister."
Anne suddenly walked over, interrupted her, and said, "The sword squire can't be a wife, the wife will have emotions, and it is not suitable to help the master hold the sword." β
The queen was stunned for a moment, and swallowed what she was about to say.
And Veris, already understood.
Her eyes widened and she blushed.
Anne looked at Denise on the side and said directly, "I think another person is more suitable." β
