Chapter 779: Demigod
The Ancient Elven Empire has a strict power inheritance system, and they are divided into tiers according to their unique combat breathing methods and the natural strength of the race, including two aspects: the battle rank level and the life level.
For example, the wild elf is a second-order creature, and the sword dancer's combat breathing method has three levels, and Iluna is a second-order wild elf and a third-order sword dancer.
The lowest level of the War Dancer promoted by the Sword Dancer is also the second-order combat position, which can generally be promoted to the fourth order, while the condition for the inheritance of the Wind Dancer is the third-order tree elf, which starts as the third-order combat position, and its combat breathing method also has three levels, which means that the third-order tree spirit can raise the wind dancer combat position to the fifth-order level.
There are always some amazing talents emerging in the Elven Empire, who can break through the inheritance restrictions of the combat class breathing method and take their combat duties to a whole new level. Elus Moon Song is a typical example, her combat rank has surpassed that of a fourth-order war dancer, and the Silver Eagle City Council has assessed and confirmed that Elus Moon Song is a second-order wild elf and a fifth-order war dancer.
Theoretically, there is no end to the path of the war officer. But in reality, few people will be obsessed with breaking through the limits of military positions. Because the combat class system is closely related to racial talent, in general, the combat position is the skill of using natural power, and racial talent is the core of the combat class system.
Wild elves do not have the talent of wind and blindness, and it is impossible for them to become wind dancers. There was once a wild elf sword dancer in history who deliberately blinded his eyes when his promotion channel was blocked, and became a famous sixth-order sword dancer. It is undeniable that this extreme path became narrower and narrower, and in the end, the strong man won the respect of the Elven Empress, who made an exception to hold a Sun Tree blessing ceremony for him, not only helping him recover his eyesight, but also transforming him into a fifth-order Moon Elf.
On the other hand, the Tree Elves and the Moon Elves, due to their natural strength, can often work as both Wind Dancer and Wind Archer at the same time.
It is said that the elven queen of Elanta is a fifth-order moon elf part-time eighth-order moon god sacrificer, seventh-order wind archer, and fifth-order wind dancer.
The Nine Orders mentioned by Eloth Moon Song should refer to the life level. In the Elven Empire, Elanta's Sun Tree is a ninth-order life, and there is an ancient and easy-to-understand term for ninth-order life-demigods.
Although Iluna admired her fellow sister, she also had her own opinions, shook her head and said, "How is this possible? Except for the Great and Warm Sun Tree, there can never be any other ninth-order demigods now. β
"Well, I might be exaggerating when I say he's a ninth-order demigod...... Sit down first. β
Yue Ge moved her legs to the side, let her sister sit on the edge of the bed, paused, and said, "I am also based on what I said...... Green Pimlock is finished, and while you're tracking the Cyclops, the Forest-Piercing Hunter Scouts observe signs of fire in Green Pimlock's territory, and when they look closer, they find that the Greenskin Lord's central camp has been attacked by an unknown enemy, leaving countless orc corpses in the camp. β
"The Council of Silver Eagle City was shocked by the news, and Elder Wind Song, the Third Princess, and Agra Prophet Longbeard led the elites of the Eye of the Secret Realm to the point of the incident and survey the scene...... The truth is even more shocking than the news of the Hunter through the Forest, the Greenskin Lord is dead, its ogre bodyguards Blackthroat and Meat Skewers, its pet saber-toothed tiger blood fangs, 11 domesticated dementia bear monsters, and its kobold leader Browntail are all dead, and more than 3,700 orc corpses have been counted at the scene. β
The name of the monster that spat out of Yuege's mouth made Eluna's heart skip a beat. Greenpimlock's ogre bodyguards and saber-toothed tiger bloodfangs are more powerful than one-eyed grayskins, and even those demented bears and kobold brown-tails are not easy to deal with, at least there is nothing Green Leaf Village can do with them.
Now that the monsters that had terrified the wild elves and dwarven villagers were all dead, Eluna felt unreal.
Yue Ge saw through his sister's thoughts, shook his head and sighed, "Unbelievable, isn't it?" Even Elder Fengge couldn't believe the news brought back by the Forest Hunter at that time, let alone you...... I went to see it the other day, and do you know how those monsters died?"
Iluna suddenly shuddered, and said in a hoarse voice, "Yes, it froze to death?"
Elus Yuege was silent for two seconds, then nodded, "That's right, just like we saw in the Wild Bee Valley, the goblins, gnolls, Most of the kobolds were frozen to death, the ogre's throat was scorched by flames, and the ogre's chest was corroded by a poisonous liquid, and then torn into two pieces by its claws, the saber-toothed tiger's blood fang was cut into pieces by the Void Wind Elemental, and its remains were basically taken away by people, well, maybe it was eaten, but the rest of it had traces of lightning strikes; some of the 11 great bears were burned to ashes by the flames, some were covered with a layer of frost, and then killed by some kind of giant creature, and of course their remains basically had traces of being eaten...... The most puzzling thing is the way the kobold browntail died, it didn't seem to have any resistance, the body was relatively intact, and the most valuable heart was gouged up. The Prophet said it was scared to death......"
Yue Ge sat up straight and said in a deep voice, "As far as I know, there is a creature that can scare the leader of the third-order kobold to death...... Dragon. β
Like the human realm, the Elven Empire has many rumors about dragons. The difference is that most of the human depictions of dragons are based on false rumors, while the elves know more about this extraordinary beast. After all, in ancient times, the Dragons were once allies of the Elven Empire, helping them fight against the infestation of the High Goblin Empire and the demons of the Abyss. Until now, there is still an emerald dragon clan living in the primeval forest near Elanta, and the dragon beast cavalry under the command of the Elven Empress is their dragon vein species. When necessary, the Emerald Dragons will assist the Elven Empress against powerful invaders in order to protect the Sun Tree. Because the ancestors of the Emerald Dragon Clan made a sacred and ancient covenant with the Moon Goddess, they can accept the blessings of the Sun Tree and maintain their bloodline and form.
Neither Eloth nor Moonsong is qualified to know the secret of the Emerald Dragon, but it does not prevent the sisters from gaining knowledge about the dragon.
The life level of dragons is not low, even the jade dragon beasts without wisdom are all born fourth-order lifeforms, the legendary wisdom dragons are at least sixth-order creatures, and the elderly dragons are generally eighth-order, and there will even be ninth-order ancient dragons. In fact, the eighth-order creatures and the ninth-order creatures are also similar in terms of natural strength, and as far as Luna knows, the eighth-order dragon can make a pact with the "weak" intelligent beings and give them a part of the dragon power.
The Elven Empire's history has seen legendary heroes who accompanied dragons, and their statues still stand under the Sun Tree in Elanta.
Iluna remembered the female in the Wild Bee Valley with the strange horned helmet on her head, and the fear that clung to her heart, and couldn't help but tremble and said, "She...... She's a dragon knight?"
Elus Yuege shook her head with a stern expression and said, "It's not certain yet, it can only be said that it is very likely." After all, we've never seen a real dragon, but the battle marks of the Greenskin Camp show that the number of those raiders is very small, leaving only the paw prints of five large Homo erect creatures, four of which have footprints similar to kobold lords, but much larger. I estimate that they are over 3 meters tall and have the ability to breathe...... One is fire, two frost and venom, and one is a rare wind and thunder breath. The kobold lord would only spew liquid flames, but the traces of the flames left on the scene far exceeded the power of the liquid flames, and even the rocks and soil were burned until they crystallized. If it weren't for the frost breath that extinguished the flames, the surrounding forest would have caused a fire. β
"Fire, frost and toxins, wind and thunder, what should you think of?"
Iluna froze, furrowed her slender and straight eyebrows, and said in confusion: "Three kinds of breath, three kinds of dragon monsters, this is unreasonable...... Could it be that the red dragon, the green dragon, and the blue dragon are together, and each has a dragon vein dependent?"
"That's what's weird. The Silver Eagle City General shook his head and said, "To deal with Green Pimlock, one giant dragon is enough. It's incredible that three dragons have teamed up to attack a group of forest orcs. The most ridiculous thing is that they have looted the reserve food that the Greenskin Lord used to survive the winter......." she said, adjusting the mood in a playful tone, "has the proud and greedy dragon fallen to this extent by slaughtering an orc tribe for some food?"
Iluna's tense mood relaxed a little, and she asked curiously, "You said that there are four dragon vein dependents, but the other one is the family of the brass dragon?"
Elus's expression became strange, and she shook her head and said, "It seems to be a mutated giant ape with a height of about four meters, but it is definitely not a white ape giant beast...... Dragons always enslave some strange creatures, who knows what kind of monster they are?" she said, "The good news is that the Agra Dwarven Prophet has determined that the dragon monsters have left the nearby forest and are heading west. The Silver Eagle Council decided not to provoke them, lest they get angry. β
"The bad news is that Green Pimrock is finished, and its death has upset the balance in the forest. The escaped forest monsters will fight each other to redefine their spheres of influence, and they will also have to worry about food for the winter, and will definitely attack several villages and towns in the south of Silver Eagle City, including Green Leaf Village. The Silver Eagle City Guards brought by the Sixth Princesses will be stationed in Green Leaf Village until the monster riot is completely quelled. β
Iluna breathed a sigh of relief, she was the captain of the guard of the Green Leaf Village, and although the captain position was arranged by her general's sister, Iluna Green Leaf still liked the job very much, because the Green Leaf Village was her home.
Her eyes were full of anticipation, and she asked Yuege, "Sister, will you stay in Luye Village for the winter?"
Eloth Yuege shook her head and said calmly, "No, I'm going to go with some good friends to track down those dragon monsters. β
"Are you demented?!" the sword dancer suddenly stood up from the edge of the bed, hit his head on the ceiling, and said in shock, "Their master may be a demigod-level dragon, he blows and you will die!
Eluss also stood up, she was shorter than Elus, but she looked down at her sister and said in a deep voice, "I have a reason why I have to go, and I won't tell you some secrets unless you go with me." What I want to say is that you have the scars caused by fear in your heart, and only by going to that dragon female can you relieve the fear in your heart, otherwise you will never be able to advance in this life. β
"Of course, you can also refuse, this thing is really dangerous. However, the demigod has delivered you, and although you are poor, His kindness to you may make Him choose to forgive us who are weak when it matters. That's why I'm going to invite you, a little third-order sword dancer, to come along. β
"Eluna, my sister, think it out for yourself, and if you don't give me an answer by tomorrow night, I'll be gone. Moonsong pushed Eluna away, hunched over to the staircase below the attic.
As a wild elf general, her situation in Silver Eagle City is actually very difficult, and those competitors with strong backgrounds always put all kinds of obstacles in her way. In order to gain a foothold in Silver Eagle City, Eluna Yuege had to take refuge in the Fourth Princess, who was willing to accept her. It was precisely because of the young Fourth Princess's weak power in the Silver Eagle City Council that she was willing to recruit those young people from humble backgrounds and talents.
The Moon Song General of Silver Eagle City took refuge in the Fourth Princess, which immediately aroused the vigilance of the Second Princess. She reacted quickly, suppressing the forces of the Fourth Princess, and proposing to hold a moon tree blessing ceremony for General Elus Moonsong. This was unacceptable to Elus, who could only receive one blessing per elf, and Elus longed for the blessings of the Sun Tree, not the Moon Tree.
It just so happened that the Elven Empress was preparing to choose an heir from the various autonomous city-states, and the young people around the Fourth Queen were gearing up one by one to fight for this rare opportunity for her, so that they could go to Elanta to receive the blessing of the Sun Tree.
Elus Moonsong's friend Ekro is a fourth-order dwarven prophet who has soothed some opportunities. According to the divination clues, everyone found a lost sacred relic of the elves - Freya's Tears. So, the fifth-order adventurer Bobo and Tian Tian, two brothers, stole the relic cane of the great adventurer's oak barrel and sneaked out of the city to find the elven relic.
Yuege and the Fourth Princesses were not so naΓ―ve, and only regarded Eklo's divination as a joke. They didn't expect Bobo and Tian Tian, two daredevils, to really slip away. Although the combat effectiveness of the halfling adventurers is very pitiful, they still have no problem protecting themselves, the key is that it is too difficult to track down the halfling adventurers, and it is impossible to find Bobo and Tiantian with Eklo's divination and interpretation skills. The Fourth Princesses and Yuege had to give up their search for the Bo Tian brothers, and they went out for the Adventurer Trial.
A series of recent events have made Elus Yuege realize that Eklo's divination may have been accurate, because they have discovered some lesser-known details one after another according to the clues of the divination tips, and it is basically certain that Bobo and Tiantian are with those mysterious people.
Their destination is the lost Temple of Jazorta!
Agra Longbeard, the chief soothsayer of Silver Eagle City, has confirmed that the outsiders who destroyed the Greenskin Camp have no ill will towards Silver Eagle City, and that they have left and will not come back to trouble Silver Eagle City.
Such a terrifying powerhouse must have just passed by, and he would not take a fancy to the territory of the greenskins. But this matter is too serious, just in case, the Silver Eagle City Council has already informed Elanta, hoping that the Empress will send several strong men to visit Silver Eagle City, and at the same time, the news will be strictly sealed, prohibiting anyone from following them, causing trouble for Silver Eagle City.
Of course, the fourth princess did not dare to disobey the decision of the Silver Eagle Council, but Elus Yuege was ambitious and planned to quietly follow behind the demigod powerhouse. She and her sister Iluna witnessed the power of the demigod powerhouse, and they also felt a trace of kindness from each other.
She invited her sister to come along, as she said: wild dogs still chase after those who feed them, and the kindness of demigods is too precious to be better than wild dogs if they don't seize this golden opportunity. What's more, Bobo and Tian Tian, the two living treasures, should also be by the side of the demigod.
Elus vaguely felt that the demigod powerhouse passing through the forest near Silver Eagle City was not accidental, and it was not instigated by Bobo and Sweet Words, since he came to rescue Iluna, it could also be regarded as a gesture of kindness to Silver Eagle City. In this case, I should take my sister to see what is going on.
It's risky, but the demigods' kindness is worth the risk!
Iluna Green Leaf didn't have the vision and wisdom of Moon Song, but she believed in her sister, and said decisively to her back:
"I'll go with you!"
Eluss Moon Song is right about one thing, Victor rescued the wild elves and dwarven guards of Green Leaf Village, and indeed showed kindness to the elves of Silver Eagle City. But he had done his best to exterminate the Goblin Lord, and it was not as easy as Silver Eagle City thought.
Rin Feng specializes in restraining enemies with weak hearts, but it is quite difficult to deal with the collective consciousness of thousands of orcs, weak goblins feel cold and know to gather together to keep warm, and the body heat of their companions can inspire their courage to resist the damage of Rin Feng's heart. Thanks to the transformation of the four dragon maids into the form of dragonmen, and the terrifying aura of the dragons to defeat the mental will of the weak orcs, Victor's awe-inspiring wind wiped out thousands of goblin orcs in one gob.
As for the more powerful ogres and bear monsters, they basically died under the breath of the dragonmen, and a few orcs were torn apart by Philip II.
Although many orcs fled into the forest, Victor's record was staggering, and in the eyes of Silver Eagle City it was simply incredible.
For the unrivaled unknown powerhouse, the elves of Silver Eagle City are either wary and vigilant, or they try to make friends and work hard.
Victor is actually not as powerful as Silver Eagle City imagined, at least he can't take the entire Silver Eagle City with his own strength. This self-knowledge, His Royal Highness Randall still has it, in order to avoid irritating Silver Eagle City, he rescued a group of wild elves and dwarves, releasing a trace of kindness. After all, it was his strategy to re-establish diplomatic relations with the ancient Elven Empire and jointly deal with Ant-Man and the Abyssal Demon Invaders.
With the opening of the Swamp's logistical supply line, Silver Eagle City is of great significance to the Kingdom of Gombis.
Victor didn't kill the goblin lord Mlock to show his strength, but his team did run into a shortage of supplies,
In autumn, the forests are abundant and ripe wild fruits are readily available, but the food resources in a small area are limited to meet the needs of Randall's expeditionary force. Moreover, Victor did not have time for the team to stop for the gathering and hunting, so they abandoned the bulky wagons and had the soldiers carry supplies on their backs to trek through the dense forest, which increased the physical exertion of the soldiers. After more than thirty days of continuous marching, the food supply of the expeditionary force has fallen below the safety line, and Victor simply loots the nearby goblin lords to replenish the food reserves of the Randall expeditionary force.
Robbing orc tribes is always more efficient than gathering them yourself, but that doesn't solve the problem of food supply difficulties.
As Randall's expeditionary force continued to penetrate into the endless forest, the surrounding scenery changed greatly, there were ancient trees hugging two or three people everywhere, and the orc tribes encountered were also stronger, even if their leaders felt the mortal danger of outsiders, in order for the entire tribe to survive the winter, their will to resist was very resolute, and they did not hesitate to fight to the death with Victor.
Victor asked the Wizard Emerson to come forward and negotiate with the orc tribe in an attempt to coerce them into handing over some food, but often to no avail.
Randall's expeditionary force had traveled thousands of miles from the Centaur Hills to the Endless Forest, but it wasn't there to fight the orcs. It is clearly not cost-effective to waste precious time and soldiers' lives on looting. Victor had to reorganize the marching formation of the team, expand the reconnaissance radius of the scouts, and try to disperse the foraging as much as possible, so as to reduce the supply pressure of the entire team.
The Left Scouts led by Brandon and the Red Wolves now have 19 Bloodborne Militia, 6 seasoned Elite Guards, 4 Craftsmen, and 4 sword-wielding maidens. The scout team is equipped with 2 alchemy dragon lizards, 4 alchemy mastiffs, and 5 bear dogs. They were a full thirty kilometres away from Victor's home team.
While the dragon maid Fregg could determine the distance between the scouts on the left flank and the home team, Brandon and the Red Wolf could not see the expeditionary force with the naked eye. They walked alone in the ancient forest for more than ten days, and their tension continued to increase. Especially the red wolf, he is the weakest of several fierce warriors, sensitive and suspicious by nature, and will be suspicious when encountering ordinary jungle wolves. Brandon always felt embarrassed to cooperate with this guy.
"Wait, Brandon, something is wrong. The lean, lean red wolf stopped again as usual and whispered a warning.
Brandon sat on the saddle of the alchemy dragon lizard and said lazily, "What's the matter? Wild wolf or jungle leopard, do you want me to let Master Emerson's little pets out and let them eat wolf meat and cat meat?"
The young knight's taunt, the red wolf has long been accustomed to, his expression is solemn at the moment, his pupils shrunk to the size of a pintip, he struggles to see the dim forest, and said in a deep voice: "I feel danger approaching from the left. β
Brandon was about to scold him when the corner of his shirt was pulled. He looked back at the sword-wielding maid sitting behind him, and heard her whisper, "My lord, we have been walking into this forest for about half an hour, and we have not heard a word at all. β
Brandon listened carefully, except for the howling of the wind through the treetops, there was no birdsong and beast singing, and the shadowy dim forest was completely dead silent. His gaze moved beyond the seductive sword-wielding maid to the back of the second dragon lizard, on which the mighty Lady Fregg was sleeping. She spends almost all day sleeping on the dragonlizard's back and doesn't like people to disturb her.
Brandon relaxed slightly, and his sword-wielding maid softly persuaded him, "The master once said that Lady Furgary would not react to ordinary danger. Beware, my dear. β
What Fregg thinks of as a general danger is a question mark for the others, in other words, when the dragon maid senses danger, the scouts don't need to hesitate and run for their lives.
Brandon nodded, grabbed the adamantite sword and shield, jumped off the dragon lizard, stopped the team, and quickly ordered: "Order, take back the front team and the rear team, put it on guard, and then release the alien rats and war dogs to search the perimeter." β
The commander's order was immediately carried out, and the source blood militia opened the improvised wooden cage dragged by the dragon lizard, and released all the half-mature alien rats inside, and they automatically dispersed to forage for food, and the alchemy mastiff and bear dog also began to patrol the surrounding area in pairs.
It wasn't long before the warning roar of the alchemy mastiff came from the woods on the left.
"Second squad, go over there to reconnoitre, but don't engage the enemy. The rest of the men are ready to fight, summoning both the war dogs and the alien rats!" Brandon commanded loudly.
At this moment, the beautiful and enchanting Fugre finally opened her eyes, and her beautiful green eyes had turned into dragon vertical pupils, she sat up straight, and said unhurriedly: "On the left, a big guy is coming. β
