Night. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

From the door of the hall, you can see that the outside world has been completely sunk into darkness.

The glow from the magic torches on the surrounding walls illuminated the empty hall.

It's not as bright as the lights in a large shopping mall, but it's much brighter than my living room.

Elves kept coming in from the darkness outside, as if they had come from another world.

One by one, they handed the information in their hands to the herald at the round table.

The heralds then mapped this information onto a map.

It's as if everyone is playing a jigsaw puzzle together.

This scene reminds me of the night a few days ago.

The night of the combat meeting with Wang Yun, Xiaogang, and Li Tangtang.

"Your Highness, our location has been marked"

The quiet hall was filled with the sound.

Woke me up from my trance.

I walked over with Elle and looked at the large round table.

The map is already taking shape.

Surprisingly, it wasn't much different from the map drawn by the heralds based on intelligence from two days ago.

It's just that......

This Great Wall of Human Flesh, which connects the north and south, protrudes in some places and is concave in others.

"Which family's line of defense is this?"

I'm curious about the bulging part.

"The Stone Family"

One of the more confident men who seemed to be more confident than the other elves stepped forward and replied.

His armor looked noticeably more ...... than the others Specialized.

There are no superfluous ornate decorations, but the place where it should be flexible is flexible, and the place where it is heavy is heavy, and it is clearly inclined to practicality.

"The people of their family are warriors who can fight well, and they are frequent visitors to the arena"

After Elle finished speaking, she nodded to the elf on the other side.

The elf had a haughty look on her face and nodded her head in thanks.

I see.

Even if it is also the spirit of the Dawn Mountains, it is also one of the eight great families.

Different families still have unique advantages.

"Whose line of defense is this?"

I pointed to the recessed place.

"This is the line of defense of our Shiraki family"

A female elf in light leather armor with a braided hair replied.

The perceptive female elf saw the look of disdain on the face of the Elf of the Stone Family just now with the peripheral vision of her eyes.

So she took a step forward.

"It is our family's tactic to retreat the central line of defense, let the main force of the enemy's army enter the magic range, and then destroy all the enemies with powerful magic"

This spirit of the Shiraki family obviously didn't want to lose to the Shuoshi family in terms of momentum.

But that exposed one of my biggest concerns.

Are you motivated by these elves!?

The current situation is super grim, and look at you, as if you have already won, you are still fighting in the nest.

How can I still play this game?

I kind of get it.

Why did so many elves pour out of the nest, but there was no scene of the army crushing the enemy's defense line.

So you're all fighting each other, huh?

Before I got the latest information, I was worried about what would happen if the coalition forces attacked too far and were surrounded.

Result -

Not to mention attacking the enemy's hinterland, isn't it not even the edge of the Dawn Mountains that has not yet gone out.

From the terrain, it is easy to see that the Shuoshi family only attacked from the slope to the bottom of the mountain.

Most of the other families camped in the mountains or valleys, maintaining their defensive lines.

Could it be ......

"Is it possible that the elven army cannot attack the territory of the Dawn Mountains?"

I asked.

Ellie pointed to the edge of the map.

"The Black Fire Mountains in the west are the territory of the barbarians, and between the Dawn Mountains and the Black Fire Mountains, there is a corridor area, the Black Earth Plateau, which can be visited here"

"Then why didn't our army attack it?"

"Brother"

Liu Xiao called me, as if he felt that I was starting to be wrong, so he reminded me.

"The enemy's intelligence hasn't been drawn yet."

Er-

I made such a low-level mistake.

It's a shame.

Because I remember that the last time I came to the Dawn Mountains, Mespil opened the door to the big tree stump to pick us up, and directly frightened the troglodyte army to break up and flee with his momentum.

So I unconsciously felt that the troglodyte army must be weak, and they were all a rabble.

Fortunately, Liu Xiao reminded me.

The heralds continued to huddle in a heap, drawing all sorts of lines and circles on the map.

"What does this circle mean?"

Hearing my question, the herald who drew it looked up at me suspiciously, and then said blankly, "Cavemen."

"No, no, I mean, why draw a circle"

"Imps"

Ellie spoke.

Her voice was full of disgust, and there was a slight chill in it.

"Cavemen move in groups"

Groups!?

By the way, this circle looks as big as a hill on the map, huh?

The herald picked up the green piece of paper, which was clearly made of leaves, and checked it again.

"It's really such a large range, and the number is about ...... About 100,000"

"When they march, they don't form a phalanx or column, they are scattered like locusts, so they look like a piece on the map."

Ellie's explanation is quite graphic.

Based on this analogy, I can fully imagine what the elves on the front line saw.

Vast troglodytes flow down the mountain like rivers or floods.

Who would dare to rush in?

As the number of lines and circles on the map increased, I felt my back tingle.

I don't dare laugh at Kyle anymore.

If I were to replace me, I would also raise the battle flag next to the throne hall, calling on the elves of the Dawn Mountains to go to the front line......

Before we left the Dawn Mountains last time, Mespil and the other army leaders had been busy.

I also saw a steady stream of soldiers heading to the front, and they all looked as nervous as if they were facing a great enemy.

I didn't know at the time what kind of army would intimidate such a powerful race as the Elves of the Dawn Mountains.

Originally......

I really want to laugh at myself, at this middle school student who doesn't know the depths.

I hate being so superficial.

"Ergonda was built in the western pass to defend against cavemen?"

Liu Xiao asked.

To my surprise, there wasn't much surprise on the girl's face.

Although Liu Xiao was also shocked by the number of cavemen, she was not as shaken as me.

This gives me great encouragement.

"No, when El Gonda was built, there were still dragons in the Aurora World"

"This city is built to defend against dragons"

Elle said, pointing to the west side of the map.

Oh...... Yes, I've read this part before.

The Black Fire Mountains to the west, before becoming the territory of the barbarians, were once the home of the dragons.

"So where did these cavemen come from?"

"Then thanks to our old nemesis, Sheikh Satie"

A herald said in a vicious tone.

"Before you came to the Dawn Mountains in Issadur, the Satie chieftains launched an all-out war against the troglodytes"

"They're on their way and threaten the caveman royal family"

"So the cavemen who live all over the world have been ordered to gather in the mountains to the west."

"The army we are facing, mainly from the south, is under the orders of General Gagantu"

The name is a bit familiar.

It seems that when I first came to the Dawn Mountains, Meispil used to mention this name.

"Because of the lack of natural predators of cavemen in the south, their numbers are ......"

The look of frustration on the herald's face was as if he were discussing some unforeseen natural disaster.

I felt a lot of pressure, so much pressure that I could desperately have.

Ellie's hand clenched my shoulders slightly.

Now our hearts should be the same......
