Chapter 273: Flee to the front line
Finally!
The rays of the sun shone in through the doors of the hall, intersecting with the glow of magic torches, like two swords in battle. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the face of the steady onslaught of cavemen, I have begun to wonder if I will be able to survive until dawn.
But at this critical moment, the sun casts light over the horizon.
It seems to be telling every elf, the Dawn Mountains, that they have not been abandoned.
The noisy crowd in the hall held their breath, all eyes on Ellie and me.
"Prepare all the troops for a general offensive"
Syllable.
Fran Stone's slammed his right fist into his shoulder.
His earthy and professional armor made an exhilarating sound, as if the man was ready to jump into a river full of enemies at any moment.
The heralds picked up the general attack order from their desks and walked out of the house together.
I came out with Elle, and the heralds themselves tied the small scroll of paper to the eagle's legs.
Then, with a shout, the huge messengers spread their wings and flapped violently a few times.
Soar into the sky.
They rested all night, and it was for this moment that they were constantly accumulating strength.
Now they will be under the orders of the elves of the Blade Leaf family, and they will send these small paper rolls to the front line as quickly as possible.
"Ellie, no, His Royal Highness the Regent!"
Hearing me say in such a formal tone, Ellie stared at me in bewilderment.
A pair of large blue eyes appear clear and bright because of excitement.
"Let's go to the front"
"Okay~"
Elle was about to jump up and cheer, but suddenly remembered who she was.
The heralds around me were staring at me as well.
The little one leaned down and put his two little hands over her mouth and asked me quietly.
"Isn't the Lord Regent supposed to stay in the royal city and command the battlefield?"
Yes, Ellie, you finally have common sense.
If it were to change to normal times, I would definitely like Ellie to stay in Elgonda, after all, her magic is cool, and it is dangerous to go to the front line.
But!
I can't forget what happened last night.
Five El Gonda guards were killed.
The magic of the murderer's magic caused old wounds all over my body to flare up as soon as it touched my body.
Undoubtedly, it was the same person who unleashed the burning spell on me that nearly killed me.
Frankly, what happened last night scared the hell out of me.
So, when daylight descends on the world of Aurora, the cavemen lose the advantage of the night, and the elves regain the initiative on the battlefield.
I even feel that at this moment, the front line is safer than the royal city of Elgonda.
At least...... Let Ellie hide......
Because, I really don't have any confidence or confidence to protect Ellie in front of such an enemy......
"Please, Ellie, go to the front"
One of my eyes must be trembling right now.
Because as soon as Ellie looked into my eyes, she understood how scared I was.
"Liu Xiao, you come with us"
I turned back to Liu Xiao and said a word.
"No"
The girl with a pair of dead fish eyes shook her head at me.
Come on!
Sister Liu Xiao, now is not the time to be willful!
But to my surprise, Liu Xiao didn't seem to be deliberately against me, her eyes showed that she was very sober.
Even if she didn't sleep all night, she was very awake.
Like Ellie, the girl leaned into my ear and whispered.
"I know what's going on, I've gotten a lot of magic from Ellie since I came to the Dawn Mountains."
"What you're worried about has nothing to do with me, and I'm not an important person, no one will trouble me"
Liu Xiao seems to ...... Know it all?
"Let's go, take Elle to a safe place, and remember to consult the mages of the White Wooden Pagoda on how to treat Elle"
Liu Xiao's reminder was just in time, and I almost forgot about it.
Elle can't protect herself now because her magic has cooled, so as long as she heals her condition, she won't have to worry about her safety.
Besides, if it's really the one who casts the burning spell, it's likely that the target is myself.
If I were asked to leave Ergonda, it would be safer for Liu Xiao.
"How many guards can fit on a flying ship?"
I asked the attendant next to me.
"Their armor is heavy, twenty at most"
"Then allocate twenty people to escort me and Ellie to the front line, and the others will all retreat back to the military and political hall of Wangcheng to ensure that they will not leave an inch."
The squire nodded, and began to gather the guards.
"Liu Xiao, then the overall situation will be entrusted to you"
The girl took two steps back, stepped out of the way of me, and nodded at me.
"Please"
I looked again at the heralds who had been fighting with me all day.
Everyone nodded their heads in acknowledgement.
"Ellie, let's go"
"Wait, I haven't decided to talk to you yet...... Hey!"
Without waiting for the little guy to agree, I ran straight down from the door of the military hall with her.
A flying boat that goes straight to the mountainside harbor.
"Hey"
The little one sat on my shoulder, leaned on my head, and asked me in a curious tone.
"What scares you like this?"
Now, there is no need to hide it from Ellie.
"Burning Spell"
Hearing this, Elle turned her head and stared intently at the stone steps that Elgonda had reached into the clouds.
This empty city with no one has never been more intimidating.
"Then what are you rubbing, run!"
Woo, I'm so touched that Ellie supports me so much, but she has so little confidence in my strength, and it's also very hurtful.
"Yes!"
Despite carrying twenty heavily armored guards, the ship flew like it was dead.
At my urging, the spirit that controlled the flying ship drove the ship at a speed never before.
Until it saw the frontline positions and began to slow down, the hull of the ship kept rattling in pain, as if it could disintegrate in the air at any moment.
But as soon as I saw the front line, I didn't care about these details at all.
Even the sense of urgency of being chased by a ghost just now has completely disappeared without a trace.
Instead......
In front of this sea of cavemen, I felt the shock.
On the western border of the Dawn Mountains is the mountain range where the royal city of El Gonda is located.
On the gray-gold ridge, there are elven camps like stacked arhats.
The hillside is lined with numerous barricades made of metal or rock.
In front of this impregnable position, it should be the Black Earth Plateau.
The Black Earth Plateau, because of the high temperature of the Black Fire Mountains, should be a black land......
But now, starting at the foot of the mountain, within a radius of tens of kilometers, it is covered with green-skinned cavemen.
It is not too much to describe it in four words: the vast ocean.
The group of monsters was clearly divided into two legions.
A legion is constantly trying to attack the elves' positions.
Another corps was slowly moving north.
It's like ...... In early spring, the Yellow River is covered with a dense array of ice beds that can even cut through valleys.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Regent"
Suddenly, an old voice sounded in our ears.
This is...... Communication magic?
I jerked back to see that the great black-purple barrier had been left behind us.
The front-line position, not under the cover of the barrier.
Although I have known this information for a long time, looking at that huge hemispherical thing covering the entire Dawn Mountain Range, it is really emotional, there is still such magic in the world?
The flying boat descended slowly, approaching a gentle hillside.
Ferry Hill.
The troops of the Shuoshi family formed a number of triangular human wall formations, firmly guarding the platform.
It was they who kept this port open, and the mages of the Shiraki family in the south were able to participate in the defensive battle last night.
That's why the Northern Legion didn't suffer massive casualties in the cavemen's night raids.
Only then can we reserve valuable soldiers for the current general attack.
Jumping off the flying boat, you can feel the ground shaking.
The clashing of weapons and the screams of the cavemen as they attacked sounded harsh from the top of the mountain.
At the top of the ridge, on a solid rock platform, several elves were gathered around a map.
This map is different from the floor plan in the military and political hall, it is like a movie, and you can see every corner of the battlefield and anyone's movements.
The elves' magic is really advanced.
"I am Mongesa Stone, the commander of the Stonestone family in the Northern Legion"
Similarly, the elf wears a modest but functional-looking piece of armor, with short hair and no helmet.
Elle stood up from my shoulder, then bowed to an elf in gray and white robes across from me.
The elf's long white beard had been dragged to the ground, and his staff was not inlaid with jewels, but seemed to be made of pieces of white bark.
"Grandpa Ambola"
This is Ambora Shiraki, the owner of the White Wooden Tower?
The old man was doing some kind of magic, and he turned around when he heard Ellie's voice.
"Oh~ It's Ellie Heranna, are you here to hand in your homework?"
As soon as the old man saw Ellie, he was overjoyed, and he laughed so much that the white beard on his mouth was crooked.
The affection for Ellie can be seen.
But, uh...... It seems that his memory is not very good, and Elle has been out of the White Wooden Tower for 100 years.
I also hurriedly nodded to the old man, but he didn't seem to notice me.
"Issadur, the tank has just been built"
An elf with bare shoulders, wrapped in black leather armor, with a huge mace pinned to his belt, and a red strip of cloth tied to his forehead, said to me.
I'm afraid this is the patriarch of the velvet family.
The muscular body is full of muscles, without a trace of burden, and the eyes are full of wisdom and spirituality.
It's simply a natural talent and an acquired exercise, perfectly blended together, and formed a skilled craftsman.
He pointed back, and from the other side of the ridge, a position camouflaged under the trees could be faintly visible.
It was filled with tanks.
These things look like ancient Roman carriages, and the weapons mounted on them are not visible.
But judging from the cold light reflected from the two huge wheels, I am afraid that every edge and corner of the whole car is extremely sharp.
"We've enchanted chariots, and they can now carry the barbarians of Kasta for hundreds of miles."
The other elf wears a strange suit of armor.
It's not so much armor as ...... Magazines?
Many devices of different sizes are connected with chains, and many parts are attached to the top and bottom, like a close-fitting universal tool box.
The irregularly shaped thing made him look like a robot.
Underneath this suit of armor is a beautiful reddish-brown robe with the shape of a maple tree tattooed on it.
This is the patriarch of the Yan Feng family.
The other elf standing next to us, I almost ignored his presence if I hadn't looked at him specifically.
The elf was wrapped in a black blanket and gave me the impression that it looked a bit like the Corlius of the Satie chieftain.
His face was deeply sunk in the shadow of his hood, and his face was not visible.
Crescent moon...... The patriarch of the family?
I'm not sure.
"When are we going to start the general offensive?"
The commander of the Stonestone family was already a little impatient.
"Are all the troops already in place?"
Mongesa stretched out his hands and showed Elle and me the massive position.
"As you can see, all the troops are stacked on the front line"
My heart pounded wildly, and I cast my gaze behind the troglodyte ocean, staring at the edge of the Black Fire Plateau.
"Well, then, it's up to the Kastas"
