A few days later, the party left the plains of Araka, where Fort Arakahan had disappeared from the horizon two days earlier. The carriage of the princess Leah and eight maids dressed as knights fell at the back of the procession, following the large army unhurriedly.

Even when they camp at night, they seem out of place with everyone, always setting up their tents in the most remote corners of the camp alone, maintaining a close relationship with everyone. Presumably, the Seven Princesses wanted to show her displeasure in this way, and perhaps in her heart, she wished that Leo's team would hunt them down now, to prove how wise and correct her previous advice was.

Shepis and Xu Mo basically ignored the silent protests of the royal girl, if they were surprised by Leah's meticulous thinking before, then now, in their eyes, the awkward girl is just a magical girl who is a little cautious.

It is no wonder that the Seven Princes has the support of the Holy See, but she is still defeated on the road to succession, and can only unite with the third prince Brian to fight against the eldest prince Felix.

The knight squad at the front of the team slowly slowed down, "Gotta gotcha!" Curt and the other four squad leaders turned their horses from the front and came to Shepis.

"Lord Shepbys, we are almost at the original border (the border between Bryland and Eltien), and there is a valley not far ahead, I'm afraid we need to make a detour!" Curt took off his leather gloves and patted the dust on his horsehair.

"Detour? Why? Is there any dangerous wildlife in that valley? Shepis asked in surprise.

"No, the valley...... It was once the main battlefield of the Northern War, where the Northern Army fought a decisive battle with the Beast Barbarian Alliance. In that battle, more than 20,000 Northern soldiers and 50,000 orcs were killed here. "The whole valley was covered with dead bodies, and the blood that gathered turned the soil reddish, and to this day, the land is still barren. ”

"I fought in that battle!" Hanks, who was beside Curt, suddenly said with emotion, "Since then, this low-lying valley has been barren, and no creature can survive in it. Breland refers to this place as the 'Orc Skeleton', and the tribe of the Orc Barbarians refers to it as the 'Valley of Sorrows'. ”

"After the Orc Skeleton, are we at the border?" Xu Mo's eyes flashed, and he asked in a deep voice.

"Well, after the 'Orc Bones', in half a day's journey, we will be able to see Eltien's Qiyun Forest!" Curt nodded affirmatively, "On the edge of the Qiyun Forest, there is a border town that used to be Eltien, Serubalan. Now, though, it's deserted, and only a few tribes of shapeshifters live there. ”

Xu Mo lowered his head and pondered, Qiyun Forest occupied seventy percent of Eltien's area, and another twenty percent of the area was half of Lake Galifa and Silver Moon Lake. This country was originally part of Auvendale before the End War.

The protracted war burned vast areas of forest and polluted Lake Galifa and Lake Silvermoon. Eventually, he provoked the wrath of a demigod druid orian who lived in seclusion in the depths of the Qiyun Forest.

The Great Druid Orion is a tree-man in the form of a towering pine, and at the end of the end of the End-of-War Treant Sleeper was awakened by the continuous war, angrily announcing that the Qiyun Forest and the Eltien Fields had broken away from Auvendale's rule and become a free tribal state. Any act of war in Eltien will be met with Orian's retaliation.

This declaration, which amounted to independence, did not initially attract the attention of the warring parties. However, when the armies of Orvendale and Breland fought at Eltien, the world finally got its first glimpse of the power of the forest gods.

Countless beasts and birds in the Qiyun Forest were overwhelming, and towering trees rose from the ground, more deadly than any war structure. The inconspicuous green vines also turned into a life-threatening Grim Reaper, sweeping away all resistance forces in the forest.

The armies of Ovendale and Bryland are like a beautiful and fragile soap bubble that is extinguished by the power of nature and becomes fertilizer for the forests and fields.

This upheaval caused the two belligerents to stop all warfare in the Eltien Wilderness, and even the orcs and barbarians of the Demonic Wasteland were unable to invade south for a long time. In the place where Orion is located, the people of Eltien have built a fantastic forest city, the City of Blue Heart, as the heart of Eltien.

However, peace is always short-lived, and today, the Grand Druid Orion has run out of power and is once again in a long sleep. The surrounding Orwendale, Bryland, and Demon Moors once again invaded Eltien Fields and split Eltien into three in what Bryland called the War of the North.

Of course, considering the bitter lessons that angered Orion back then, the three sides showed unusual caution in the war. Not only did it not burn forests on a large scale and pollute the environment. Moreover, the battleground is basically far away from the Qiyun Forest, and it is spread out on the border of the three countries, so as not to wake up the Great Druid Orion again.

Some of Eltien's humans and half-elves moved into Auvendale and Breeland, and some retreated into the depths of the Qiyun Forest, the city of Bixin, a paradise that the three forces did not dare to disturb.

"Old K, what do you think?" Shepis asked softly in the team channel.

"Along the way, I've been thinking about how to use Leo's team. Originally, I thought I would need to go out of the border of Brightland, but now that there are places like orc bones, I think the plan can be implemented in advance. Xu Mo took a deep breath, his eyes sharpened.

"Do you want to ambush orc bones on their bones?" Rose's voice rang out in the team channel, "Since even veterans like Curt don't want to enter this valley, I'm afraid Leo won't rush into it just to get there, right?" After all, they still have a lot of opportunities, and even on the way back, it's still too late to attack us again! ”

"The old Commander K doesn't mean to ambush the enemy! Leo is not stupid, knowing that we are ahead, he will definitely be cautious, and nine times out of ten he will not enter the orc bones. Simon smiled and said, "Let you enter the orc bones to avoid them and let them get ahead of us." ”

"Let them be in front?" Shelpis's eyes lit up, "Old K, do you want to borrow a knife to kill someone?" ”

"Well, there is only one entrance to the underworld in the Twilight Woodlands, and I believe that those top teams will definitely test other teams before entering the underworld, so as to formulate strategies for the future." Xu Mo said lightly, "Leo himself is a Sky Knight equivalent to a third-order transfer, and the strength of the Emerald Claw Regiment is not bad, why don't you let them do us a favor?" ”

"But...... I seem to remember you saying that the eldest prince Felix doesn't care if he has a dragon crystal vein or not. If Leo were to meet with the other forces, would it be self-defeating and instead bring them together? Yi Yun's bewildered voice rang out in the team channel.

"No, as long as we don't show up for the time being, I'm afraid Leo won't be able to win the trust of other forces. No matter what the top teams say, they will test Leo's team once. Xu Mo blinked slyly.

"If it were us, we would all know about this kind of temptation, and we wouldn't have unnecessary thoughts. But Leo's team is different, as long as they fight once, no matter what the outcome, the two sides will never have a basis for mutual trust! Simon continued Xu Mo's words and continued, "It's just ......"

"Just what?" Yiyun asked curiously.

"It's just that the team is going to disperse!" Shepis sighed, he had understood.

The large force hides in the bones of the orcs, while a few follow Leo, spying on and reinforcing intelligence in order to keep the force out of tentative combat at the entrance to the Dusk Glades.

……

"Into the orc bones?" Curt looked at Shepis with a strange expression, "Are you sure?" Orc bones are not a tourist attraction, and few people can tolerate the valley. ”

"Is it dangerous?" Xu Mo frowned and asked. If the orc bones were really in great danger, their plans would have to be modified.

"It's not dangerous, but it'...... Wait until you get there, and you'll know! Ralt, one of the captains of the knight squad, said with a wry smile.

More than half an hour later, the team came to the edge of the orc bones. Looking at the strange scene in front of them, Xu Mo and the others understood why several knight captains would oppose letting the team enter the Orc Bone Valley.

Known as the "Orc Bones", the soil is russet, and the barren land emits a rotting stench. There was not a trace of green in the dirty brown soil, and scattered bones and broken weapons were everywhere, like a mass grave gouged by wild dogs.

The area of the valley is not very large, and it is full of small hills like pits and graves. A very small number of dead trees with broken branches made the whole valley seem more and more desolate and dead. Throughout the plains of life, the bones of orcs are like an ugly scar, which is impossible to forget, but also deliberately ignores its existence.

"This is the home of the Grim Reaper, not the realm of the living. No one wants to spend a night on orc bones. Lord Shepbys, I hope you will think more before making a decision! Curt said with a sigh.

"Even out of loyalty to His Highness Brian, can't you be allowed to enter this valley?" Shelpis's eyes flashed, and he said slowly.

“…… I see, but please respect everything here, and don't rummage the bones of the dead and their weapons! Curt was silent for a moment, then reminded solemnly.

"Of course, we will keep enough respect for the deceased!" Shepis nodded solemnly.
