Originally, Nangong Rong went to negotiate with the elder with the determination to get Missel to nod and agree even if he was stalking, coerced and intimidated, but to the boy's surprise, the other party basically agreed to his request to cut down trees as resources without any consideration. If it weren't for Angellot, who seemed to have been busy with the things at hand for the time being, she was resting with a drink in Miselle's room, Nangong Rong would even think that the old aunt in front of him was disguised by someone else.

"Well, I didn't make it clear, but we're going to cut down a lot of the surrounding forest and use it as a production material. The embarrassed Nangong Rong rubbed his head vigorously, looked at Miselle again, and said to her very seriously, "It's not one or two trees, it's a large forest around it that will turn into a bare wasteland, like farmland gnawed by a swarm of locusts." ”

But even though the boy repeated it, Miselle's answer remained unchanged: "I know, that's why I agree." ”

Angelot, who was silently sipping tea, suddenly choked on the words.

Nangong Rong felt that he would not be able to change this strange expression of embarrassment on his face for a while, because Miselle's reaction was seriously beyond his expectations: "To be reasonable, how do you act as a forest ranger, are you planning to join the poachers and poachers in guarding and stealing yourself?"

"You're not just stealing forests with axes, you're even using large-scale destruction magic. Miselle replied angrily at first, and then looked at Angelot, who was still unable to recover next to her, and explained to the girl, "Girl, you know that these guys (pointing at Nangong Rong and others) are all using explosive long-range weapons, which are difficult to use in dense forests, because the things that are fired will be blocked and detonated by tree branches. So since our troops are basically crippled, they will be the main force in the future battles, why do we have to keep the forest that only we elves can adapt to?"

Angelot, who was hurriedly taking out a handkerchief and wiping her face indiscriminately, suddenly showed a look of sudden realization: "Ah, so that's the case." The open flat ground is good for the Abyssal monsters to charge, but it also allows them to take advantage of their ranged weapons, and our troops only need to cooperate with them. It is worthy of Lord Micel that he sees the problem so thoroughly. ”

[No, I think this old youkai just somehow watched my puppet fight in the wild village where he went to the rescue and helped the people evacuate.] The obvious impact of the forest terrain on the puppets can be seen at a glance no matter who replaces, and Misel knows that our troops are the main force in the next battle, so even if I don't propose to cut down trees as a resource, this guy will probably take the initiative to order the nearby forest to be bulldozed. 】

Nangong Rong, who didn't say anything, looked at Missel speechlessly, couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the old fox, and then coughed lightly, attracting the eyes of the two elves, and said: "Anyway, you agreed to this proposal, right, then please trouble Lord Micel, you inform the people under your subordinates and let them not get excited when they see us uprooting trees, and leave the rest to us." ”

These pointy ears who have lived in the dense forest for a long time will always have one tactic when they leave the cover of the forest to fight the abyss in the open field, that is, the legendary dense formation - of course, this is a very useful tactic in the case of the lack of long-range heavy firepower in the abyss, but this time the abyss has almost concentrated all the combat power of the nearby planes, and the subordinate races of the minions who have only reclaimed the colony here and have given scientific and technological talents must also bring a large number of sci-fi mechanical weapons, which is a bit troublesome.

And it is obvious that Stephanie has completely had enough of a certain shopkeeper and his Crystal Palace scurrying around, and the combat power of several surrounding planes is empty, and it is possible that it will be attacked by sneak attacks, resulting in heavy losses, and she has also forcibly concentrated her troops here in the elven hometown, in order to obtain the advanced teleportation array technology of the pointed ears, so that the transport fleet can completely escape the possibility of alliance attacks.

In order to achieve this goal, there is a good chance that Hei Changzhi will personally take her capable generals to go out in person, even if there is no mechanical weapon of the servant race to defeat the dense formation of elven soldiers, these specifications can rush into the crowd to play Wushuang by herself.

Anyway, it is impossible for the elves to defeat the abyss with the move of dense formation alone, even if the main force of their troops is still alive, but it is different with tanks, artillery, mechs, etc., they can be dispersed far enough from each other while maintaining contact with radio communication and other means, and use long-range shooting to cover each other and cooperate to form a dense firepower network on the battlefield to meet everything that rushes into it.

It doesn't matter if it's an ordinary miscellaneous soldier or a general under Stephanie. Perhaps the impact of the barrage on the powerful outside of the spec is very limited, but it is much better than the soldiers gathering together and being met by the other party for a second.

Now, in addition to counting on Nangong Rong and others as the main force, everyone cooperates to defeat the abyss, and Miselle, who has no way out, immediately gave her promise to Nangong Rong: "I will, you just have to let go and do what needs to be done." You are free to use the World Tree and everything outside of it, including leyline energy. ”

In fact, although Nangong Rong ignored the battle that happened in the small village because he knew that he would lose, Missel saw it from beginning to end. The Elder may have chosen to peek at first because he was only interested in the young puppet, but he also noticed other things, such as the number of abysses and the ferocity of the monsters.

Just by attacking a village, the Abyss dispatched a large number of monsters that could be described as overwhelming, and compared to the previous battles near the defensive strongholds that wiped out the counterattacking forces, these monsters have been significantly improved in all aspects. Miselle believed that her soldiers would not be able to rely on the forest to fight each other, the number of monsters was so exaggerated that they could fill almost the entire forest, and they had to find a way to reduce their numbers before they could fight them.

And when it comes to reducing the number of enemies, what could be better and more effective than long-range artillery fire?

Large-scale magic is counted as one, and the key is that the current elves no longer have enough specially trained veteran magicians to perform it. The novice rookies who put the improvised spell together directly into the actual battle, and the magic counterattack is light if the spell fails, in case the spell control fails, there is an explosion behind the position......

It's better to let them go back to wash and sleep, or spread out and use them as ordinary magic soldiers.

Therefore, Missel didn't mind Nangong Rong and them shoveling down the surrounding forest, and she also didn't mind these guys building fortifications on the newly dug clearing, because she knew that the other party was better at dealing with abyssal monsters that far outnumbered her own than herself and her own remnants of defeated generals and rabble.

As long as the World Tree is kept untouched, even if the surrounding area is transformed into the surface of the moon, the old aunt said that it doesn't matter at all!

Nangong Rong finally left with Angelot, and Miselle was worried that even if he gave the order to cooperate, there would still be some stubborn guys below who would go over to find trouble when they saw the boy and others shoveling trees, so that Angellot and the past should not have happened something that would make both parties feel unpleasant and unable to get off the stage.

"So, the trees you cut down will be used as material by a race called Sitneyra to make some kind of giant creature dedicated to fighting?"

It's always boring to just walk along the way, especially the elf girl with green hair and pointed ears who can still poke at the cute point of the teenager next to her, Nangong Rong decisively chatted with Angelot, and it was obvious that the latter was also quite interested in their plan.

"Oh, it's a creature, but you don't think of it like a tree warrior just because it's a tree, it's actually more like an animal than a plant. Nangong Rong looked at the girl's excited expression and felt a little worried, so he couldn't help but give her a preventive shot in advance, "And don't look at those three-headed guys who look cute and cute, but their taste is quite bad, and the creatures they create are even more curious, comparable to those alien parasitic beasts who always like to hold people's faces when they are children, and when they grow up, they like to poke people's heads with their tongues, and after being injured, they will throw people full of acid." So, you'd better not expect too much. ”

Angelot immediately shook her head and clarified: "No, no, no, I'm just curious about how they make creatures. You know, a lot of our spells have to do with manipulating plants and animals, so it's inevitable to have the idea of trying out creatures that don't arise naturally. ”

In fact, when the red-clothed three-headed clan came with those strangely shaped biological units, they had already attracted a lot of pointy ears and attention, because of the constant onlookers and the construction of the hatchery, the little ones had to leave the World Tree and camp in the forest outside.

Nangong Rong was also walking outside the big tree with Angellot at this time, and he was worried that Missel's speculation that the stubborn officers and soldiers under his command would make trouble with the Sitneylanians would come true, so he didn't go to meet Octavir and the others and chose to rush to the three-headed body directly.

After successfully passing the inspection of the guards, the boy and the elf girl finally came to the outside of the World Tree. This is the root of the tree near the ground, and the view is not too far from being blocked by the dense forest, but it is much more comfortable than being inside the tree.

At the very least, there was wind outside, and there was a large meadow that shone in the sunlight. The flowers and plants were all affected by the leylines, all of them were so beautiful that they looked like jade stones that shimmered with light, and many of the young elves who were still bear children were chasing and playing carefree inside, and only they were not at all affected by the approaching battle.

To Nangong Rong's surprise, no one camped in such a beautiful place, you must know that this place is very suitable for setting up tents. The inside of the World Tree was already overcrowded, and Pointed Ears was placing their people in the wild, but it was strange to see that they were placed farther away from the tree than in the grass.

Angelot replied to the boy's question: "Yes, the high concentration of magic here is indeed very suitable for camping life, but in other words, would you be willing to live outside when God knows when the abyss monsters will hit here? ”

"Uh, manipulation, what kind of manipulation exactly?"

"Magic detonates. ”

The young man finally understood at this moment that the beautiful flowers and plants in that circle were actually equivalent to flammable and explosive gases, although they were conducive to physical and mental health and the cultivation of strength, but if a match was struck, it would also become very dangerous.

It is estimated that when the defensive line finally collapses, the elves will use the magic detonation that Angellot just mentioned to perform a large-scale plastic surgery on the ground around the World Tree. It's not a secret, so no one wants to live on a bunch of things that act like high explosives.

Nangong Rong's mental power may not be suitable for learning magic, but when he walked through the grass, the magic power here was already dense to the extent that he could detect it with his physical feelings alone. It was a crispy, tingling, damp feeling, a bit like a spring drizzle falling on the surface of the skin, and I raised my hand to wipe it but didn't touch anything.

It's amazing and it's very comfortable, the boy can feel the presence of magic but never see or touch it, let alone mobilize it. After being convinced that he might not have anything to do with magic in his life, Nangong Rong decisively ignored the invisible little guys around him and set his eyes on the forest not far away.

There were already quite a few elves who had been placed outdoors gathered together to block off a place, and they should be judging something by looking at each other. Nangong Rong, on the other hand, knew very well what the other party was discussing, because he didn't find the three-headed body and their strange-looking biological units in the immediate vicinity.

These guys were obviously blocked by the group of elves who were watching the excitement, so they couldn't appear in the sight of the young man, so Nangong Rong took Angelot into the crowd without thinking, and it took a long time before he got out.

Then, what was it that appeared before the boy's eyes? A large jelly-like thing that couldn't tell what it was gently shook its soft, watery surface in the breeze, and the light blue liquid it secreted even dyed the surrounding trees in a strange shape.

"What is this, the Moe King's version of the slime bracket enlarged model?"
