Chapter 278: Airborne
Boom –
As I fell out of the teleportation magic, the sound was so loud that I thought we had crashed at one point. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Belch...... Well, the reality is also about the same as crashing -
"Abandon ship!"
The helmsman shouted.
I'm still spinning around with the negative effects of teleportation, resisting the urge to throw the contents of my stomach outside.
Suddenly hearing such a shout made it even more chilling.
Woo Buzz - Buzz -
The sound of a flying ship is like an engine that is gradually losing power.
Lost basic buoyancy and began to fall.
The ship glided diagonally forward, like a paper airplane falling, crashing into the mountain in front of it.
Bang –
With a loud cracking sound, the entire hull of the ship shook.
Click-click-
Then I saw countless planks fly out along with the contents of the cabin.
The ship is disintegrating in the air!
"Hey"
One of the guards grabbed me by the waist as if he were carrying a travel bag, then rushed forward a few steps and jumped.
Whew—and then the whole world became fluttery.
Then there's the vertigo that comes with free fall.
What happened, what happened, I couldn't think at all, and my brain was completely paralyzed.
Boast!
Boast!
The sound of metal striking came one after another.
This is ——?
I barely opened my eyes and saw that the guards were falling as if they had landed on some transparent platform.
Their feet landed firmly in the air, and a yellow light appeared in that place.
Then the light disappeared, and they continued to fall.
It was as if there were countless invisible steps in the air for them to slow down.
Boast!
The guard carrying me landed on some platform, and the ferocious fall almost caused me to slip out of his grasp.
Boom –
The flying boat, which had been visibly torn off, crashed into the mountainside, crushed into a forest, and rotted into a heap.
The guards used this unique magic to gradually slow down, and then one by one, landed safely on the ground.
"Are you alright?"
"Doom...... No, it's fine, thank you ......"
As soon as I landed, I sat on the ground, not to mention the crash landing made my heart beat so fast.
The discomfort caused by this teleportation magic is enough for me to drink a pot.
"Gather the troops, determine our position first"
While I'm taking a break, someone has to do the important things first.
"Understood"
The few guards who landed around me just exchanged glances with each other and began to divide the work of these two things.
It is completely unthinkable that these elite guards can spontaneously form a command system without the need for other people's orders.
An elf pointed his finger into the air, and above the treetops, a glowing ball appeared, like a high-powered light bulb, visible everywhere around.
Probably this is the signal for the guards to assemble.
A few more elves began to carve magic circles on the ground, presumably preparing to determine where we were.
Okay, let me get some rest first.
In a few moments, the guards were assembled, no more, no less than twenty.
The magic circle carved by the elves, on top of which the earth and sand were attracted to form a sand table.
The dynamic map, which was originally built this way, is so convenient.
The North Pass Pass, the northwestern corner of the Dawn Mountains.
We were about a few kilometers away from what it looked like and it was very close.
Although we didn't land on the pass accurately, the mages of the Shiraki family had indeed sent us to our destination.
The next question is......
I didn't even ask where Sercelia's line of defense was!
"The position of Red Cliff City is here"
Oh?
Someone offered to show me the way.
The elven guard who was at the helm just now, he pointed to a mountain to the east of the pass on the map.
Then he pointed to the hill on the other side of the pass.
"This was originally the defense line of the coalition forces, and each side held a high ground, overlooking the entire canyon, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack."
Another elf also spoke.
"If the people of Red Cliff City are attacked, they definitely don't come from the river valley"
The other elves also spoke their minds.
"The Akaba family's position is a stone fortress, and the people of Chiya City are stationed inside, there are about fifty or sixty people"
"Only from here, the hills in front of the cavemen, can the troops of the cavemen break through the defense line of the Akaba family"
"If the number of enemies is very large, they will choose to retreat from here"
An elf pointed to a relatively gentle path behind the mountain.
"From here, you can retreat in the direction of Red Cliff City"
"But that road is also vulnerable to ambushes"
Another elf pointed to a mountain pass in front of the road.
"If the cavemen were already besieging the fortress, then their men could quickly turn to this pass"
It doesn't look good.
The most important thing now is to get information about what is going on with Seria-sama.
Communication Magic ......
I looked up and saw that the entire pass was covered in the great black-purple barrier of all evils.
This is probably also the reason why the people of Red Cliff City did not find out in time that the coalition forces were retreating.
"Is there any way to find Seria-sama?"
I'm already exhausted, and I don't have the slightest experience or knowledge to deal with such a situation, so I can only turn to these elves around me for help.
"Yes"
Several people answered in unison.
It made my eyes shine.
It's so reliable!
Worthy of the elite guards of El Gonda.
An elf handed me a small thing.
It was a small piece of wood, the size of a fingernail, that looked like a ...... Digged from some kind of tree, with bark and branches.
On the small square wooden blocks, delicate words and lines are drawn on each side, which are connected to each other to form a spell.
"In the mouth"
The elf said to me.
So I put this thing on my tongue and closed my mouth.
Puff - 簌 -
I had a strange sensation as if my whole body had turned into flowing juice, and my whole body began to melt.
My size began to drop, my bones and muscles itched, and my skin hurt like I had been coated with chili pepper water.
Saying-
"Woohoo"
Hey?
My voice?
Anyway, look down...... Hey——?
Paw?
My hands turned into paws covered with silvery-white soft hairs.
Looking up at the tall elves around him, he felt a sense of oppression.
Everyone put the same little pieces of wood in their mouths, and I watched as they were covered in a grayish-white mist.
And then it gradually gets lower and shorter, and becomes—
Wolf?
I moved my legs and feet, except for a little itching, and there was no discomfort.
Hey?
The smell is ......
The smell of elves.
As soon as you smell it, your mind will naturally associate with the impression of the elves.
This is our scent, and with just a slight difference in the scent, I can distinguish the twenty elves around me.
That's great.
It's just too efficient to track down Secelia's whereabouts in the dense forest.
The elves next to them, ahhhhh
Let out a low whoop.
"Ahh
One of them threw his head up and barked at Tian Changdi.
One by one, the other wolves began to howl.
Uh, I'll do it too.
"Whew-uhhh
The wolf's howls echoed through the forests and valleys, and the sensitive ear could hear the echo of the sound as it was transmitted to another mountain peak and then bounced back.
"U-U-U-"
A few unnatural bird calls caught my attention.
The sound was very quiet, and it seemed to come from a very long distance.
I couldn't understand it, but I could feel that it was sending us a message.
The surrounding wolves stopped, and everyone looked at each other, as if to confirm that everyone was ready.
Then the wolves turned around and sprang out.
Pushing your back leg with all your might, your front leg cushioning your weight and holding up another cycle of exertion, is as easy as running.
Every part of the body is perfectly adapted to the wild running in the woodland, and it doesn't even feel the slightest effort.
The claws of the wolves scratched against the ground and on the pile of fallen leaves, making a tense and rhythmic sound.
The unifying goal makes everyone feel calm.
Follow the voice just now, step by step closer to the target.
