Chapter XXVII: Before the Great War

The forests of Turalia are located on the southwestern border of Erathia, and within ten days of their departure from their strongholds near the Five Cities, a group of bandits has reached the edge of the forest.

One of the largest forests on the continent stretches for hundreds of miles and is nearly a hundred miles wide. If you only look at it from the outer ten miles, the forest is dense and beautiful, and all kinds of animals are interspersed, and the vibrant forest is indeed a good place for individuals and animals to be harmless. But the masters in the depths of the forest are not very hospitable, and their temper is known to everyone, so they are inaccessible. The hundreds of thieves were careful about their whereabouts, and there were no major surprises when they made it all the way here, at least not noticed by Erathia's army. Along the way, thieves from all over the world summoned by Helica continued to join in, and the number had reached four hundred.

The only minor trouble is within the thieves. It is said that more than half of the thieves in the dent heard the sound coming from Mr. Sandface's room, and the woman who came out of it afterwards almost incontinent dozens of thieves with her throat alone. The shouting continued for a long time, and it changed in content and monotony. The sound was a tremendous mental stimulus to the thieves, who had been running away all day, and Helika immediately demanded that the thieves march towards Turalone without stopping, and that they must hide their tracks along the way. Needless to say, he went to do evil, not even to find a prostitute.

To add insult to injury, on the way here, such sounds have never stopped on a single night. And it lasts longer. Louder, more side, if no one is unscrupulous, it will be renovated. It's just that after a day or two, the thieves look at the woman in black as if they are a group of people who have not smelled a fishy smell for ten years, looking at a piece of fresh meat. I can't wait to tear through the tights that outline the shape of Miaoman's body with only strength, and then go deep into it, galloping wildly, exploding, and venting, like a shot of life. But there is no doubt that this is not a piece of meat that can be swallowed at will, especially when it is still being chewed in the mouth of another beast. No matter how hungry you are, very few people will not want the upper body for the sake of the impulse of the lower body.

But this is only a minimum, not an absolute. On the fourth day, four of them had been deprived of their thinking abilities by the heads below, and the thieves quietly found an opportunity to trick the woman in black into a secluded place at night under the pretext that the leader had invited him to discuss the plan. But I think they shouldn't be impulsive enough to use this Helika to hire a lot of money, and it's probably just a negotiation and discussion, but no one knows what the process is. But the woman in black soon returned, and then screamed louder and more violently with the man named Sandface in no one's place. Finally, when it was time to leave the next day. The four thieves were found in the trees.

All four thieves are not dead, but they are almost dead. They were all broken, stripped naked, and fell to the tree. What was supposed to be between the legs has been cut off and stuffed in the mouth.

The other thieves, who were bleeding from their mouths and noses, were agitated, and many of them were indignant at the fate of their fellow belongings, ready to draw their swords with red eyes. It is not because these thieves have been obscure and inconspicuous that they do not think that these people are docile lambs, but only because they are dwarfed by the brutality of Helika and the mysterious strength of the man, who are the most violent and dangerous criminals of Eracilai, and who have murderous blood in their veins.

However, this kind of scene is nothing in front of Helika, who heard the news. He crushed the heads of the four thieves like ripe tomatoes, then wiped his hands on the corpses, stared at the thieves around him, and said in a tone ten times more angry than theirs, "It's okay to have a woman." You can take as much money as you want when you're done, but now is the time to do things. I can't tell the situation in the person who is messing around now, I guarantee that he won't even have a chance to see women in the future. ”

Since Helika spoke, the rest of the journey had been uneventful and smooth. Before coming to the forest, the two groups finally separated.

Hilika handed the map and a scroll to the man named Sandfis, the terrain of the deep forest that the thieves had drawn from the last escape, as well as parts of the elven settlement. And that scroll was used to break the enchantment of the elves in the forests of Turalea. Follow Helika's plan. The man will lead the elites of Hilton, Jessica, Druid Anderson, and Bill the Soul Sorcerer, to sneak into the elves' habitat first.

"As long as you carry this scroll, you can hide the aura within a radius of 100 meters, so that it will not be detected by the detection magic shrouded in the forest. And when you get to the elven barrier. You can use the scroll to break the heavens and the gods can sneak in without even noticing. Isis explained the plan to a few people. "We are expected to swagger in when you infiltrate and grab the attention of the elves. At this point you can act, remember, your task is to find as many leaves as you can......"

"What are you looking for? Looking for a leaf? Looking for a leaf in such a big forest? Are you * crazy? Those elves threw them on the ground, and we didn't know where to pick them up. Hilton stared at Isis and shouted, although he knew that the task of these elites was actually to find something very important, but he could not have imagined that it would be so inexplicable.

Isis struggled to wave his hands and said, "Listen to me." It wasn't just an ordinary leaf, it was supposed to be a sacred relic guarded by the elves. And you know that thing as soon as you look at it. ”

"What do you mean?" asked Old Bill, squinting his eyes.

"Anyway, you can see ...... at a glance," replied Elsie, who had never seen it himself, but who had described it so indistinctly by the esteemed client, and who could only repeat it in such a very abstract way. He hurriedly accentuated his tone and said, "Don't worry." There are more than 200 of us here to bait you, are you still worried that you won't have a chance? Just catch the elf and ask. As soon as you get that thing, the elves are going to be confused. This is our great opportunity, with those two scrolls, hehe......" Isis let out a laugh as if he had ridden on an elven girl. "We can definitely take advantage of the opportunity to take the whole of Turalea. ”

"I always felt unsure...... So that Tulaone can be taken?" I wonder if it is due to the prudence and intuition peculiar to the elderly. Old Man Bill suddenly hesitated.

"Here are four hundred of Erathia's best criminals to back you up and bait you. Alice almost jumped and shouted. "What else are you worried about? I have three scrolls here, and the gentleman who gave me them is our back, that's ......."

Silica suddenly let out a muffled grunt from her throat, as hideous and dangerous as the bowels of a hungry Beamon beast. Aisi's voice and movements froze suddenly.

The faces of the others suddenly turned ugly. Entering Turalone is not going on an outing, and it is absolutely impossible for people to feel at ease when they learn that these are supposed to be companions and people who don't want to know any secrets that they don't want to know. The remuneration is tempting, but it is much worse than the safety of life.

The atmosphere froze suddenly, and only the sound of Helika's breathing grew heavier and heavier in the air.

"Forget it. I don't want to investigate what the hell is going on......" or the man named Sandface spoke, and his indifferent tone and confident words fully revealed the demeanor of a master. "All I need to know is that you're going to pay us what we promised. ”

"That's natural. That's natural. Isis nodded like a woodpecker foraging.

"Okay. Let's go, then. The man waved at the Hiltons and walked deeper into the forest, and the rest seemed to be infected by his attitude and followed him.

"Wait. Helika spoke suddenly. The man and the others turned to look at him.

"Thank you for your trust, so you can go with confidence. Healy opened the door, his lips fluttering like two dead flesh, and he spat out a sentence that was completely out of place with him, though the sound still had the same fishy smell of a carnivore.

"I want to thank you too. The man also faintly threw back a word from Helika, and led the man towards the depths of the forest, and soon disappeared into the depths of the forest.

Helika was still standing there with her hands on her chest, not moving. Isis and the four hundred thieves behind him did not dare to move. After a long time, after making sure that the people in front of him had already gone into the depths of the forest and would not come out again, Helika turned to Isis and his men and whispered, "Let's go too." ”

"Okay, all attention, move closer to me. Isis shouted to all the thieves. He pulled a magic scroll from his bosom. It's exactly the same as the one I just handed to the man. "When you go into the forest, you must come within 100 meters of me, do you hear?"

Helika had just taken out a map and looked at it, and then said, "First twenty miles to the east, then south." It is the closest place to where the elves live. ”

"Boss. Do you think this is really going to work?" said Isis suddenly and quietly to Helika.

Helika replied lightly: "With a few of them as bait, what else is there to worry about." ”

"I'm not talking about that. I'm in case, just in case...... If that guy dies inside under the siege of the elves, the elves will outnumber us and we won't be able to take Turalion, and we won't be able to get it......" Isis's voice suddenly became frightened. "What then. ”

"Even if this worst-case scenario occurs, at least the elves can catch a hundred and eighty, and that's fine. And the worst of this is caused by the guy himself, and we have no responsibility in the slightest. Let's go. Hilika snorted. Turn your head and walk in the direction of the east. Isis sighed, and led the four hundred thieves behind him.

Quite far away from them, but still on the edge of the Tulaone forest. Bishop Adela and the chief Lancelot Templar had been waiting there for some time. While Celeste wasn't close to here, it wasn't much at the speed of a griffon.

After a dedicated scout Templar reported the arrival of a gang of thieves, Bishop Adela used a 'Atmospheric Exploration' scroll.

This strategic magic scroll, which is generally intended to be used on the battlefield, is still very useful, although it does not have any direct lethality. The use of this scroll is correspondingly high-level and extremely expensive. Moreover, he is the only one here who can use this scroll, but he still uses it at this time, which shows that he is very careful about this operation.

In his arms on his empty chest was a white mist, with countless tiny points of light moving slowly in the middle. In the center is a large cluster of points of light that have gathered together, almost accumulating into a single cluster of light. Then there were a few solitary dots of light on the outside that were slowly moving towards the inside, and a bunch of dots on the other side moved to the side for a while before moving towards the middle.

The fog is a condensed landscape in the forests of Tulaone, and the points of light represent the elves and people in this area. It's just this magic, all the movements of this battle situation are under his grasp.

Adela stared intently at the image, then her eyes fell on the lonely dots of light. No one else could see the difference between these subtle points of light, but he could tell that the energy represented by these points of light was the strongest.

Lancelot stood at Bishop Adela's side. Behind him were four Templars, as well as ten Templars. With him and the cardinal, these more than a dozen people could take a city without much effort.

"What's that?" said Lancelot, suddenly noticing a phenomenon on the magic map. Although his magic level can't use such strategic-level magic, but after decades of fighting on the battlefield, he is probably the person who has seen the most of this kind of magic map, but now he can't understand a thing on the current map.

In the middle of that large pile of light, in the center of the elven dwelling, there was a sizable point of light. It was completely different from the other points of light that represented people and elves, not only was it much larger, but it also seemed to have a strange green aura.

Bishop Della also immediately noticed this point of light, and watched in amazement.

The image reflected by this magic is not wrong, according to the user's control, it is sent by creatures that sense the vitality of the elves or humans at the same time, the soul and the magic power, but even if the beast animal has the life force of Beamon, as long as the controller does not intend to show only all life, it will never be displayed.

"Such a huge vitality and magic...... What is it?" Lancelot thought, his pupils narrowing suddenly. "Dragon?" immediately shook his head. "No way. How could there be anything like that here......"

Bishop Adela was also thinking, but he suddenly let out a startle, and the magic in his arms disappeared immediately.

"What's wrong? You know what it is?" asked Lancelot, frowning.

"No, I don't know. Adela smiled, his smile was so beautiful at all times, and now it looked a little more charming. "So let's go check it out. ”
