Chapter Forty-Six: The Orcs Retreat
The elven queen looked regretful, she was really exhausted. Otherwise www.biquge.info, if you seize the opportunity just now, you can completely kill Otto with just a simple magic. Unfortunately, Otto stepped back and shouted to summon the guards. Although he immediately fell to the ground, he seemed to pass out. But as the orc guards gave up their entanglement with the elven archel, and protected the unconscious Otto in the past, this opportunity was completely lost.
King Otto was the backbone of the entire army, and his serious injuries directly affected the entire battle situation. The situation, which had already gained the upper hand, was reversed in an instant. The orc soldiers panicked, and the spirits seized the opportunity to fight back, driving them out of the silver forest in one go. The still alive elven mage desperately began to repair the magic barrier, and when he fought just now, the magic barrier itself had gradually recovered, and finally succeeded in plugging the gap.
There was no more worries behind him, Savjak dragged the broken arm, Rao was calm with an elf temperament, but also showed a look of ecstasy, waved the scimitar in his hand, and issued an order for a full-scale counterattack. The elven warriors who were almost desperate just now, like taking a miracle medicine, killed the orcs who had no intention of fighting and fled in embarrassment, and when they arrived at the river, they finally completely collapsed, and one by one they only cared about escaping, even if they couldn't swim, they jumped into the river and wanted to swim to the other side, but more of them were washed away by the turbulent river, and the chance of survival was slim.
King Otto had already been carried by the guards and retreated in advance, and the power of the Adamantite projectile was really terrifying, and the side of his stomach was completely broken. Even the intestines flowed out, and the royal guards stuffed it into their stomachs in a panic, bandaged it hastily, and hurriedly crossed the river to find the orc shaman who was with the army behind to heal Otto. It was also Otto's strength that actually picked up a life by him. But even so, the battle that was won nine times out of ten ended in a crushing defeat for the orcs, and instead the kingdom's most elite regular army of 30,000 was lost, most of which were lost ...... A large number of them were trampled or drowned in rivers while fleeing. The Celta Kingdom is considered to be a big injury, and it is no longer capable of attacking the elves, and even when they go back, they have to guard against being bullied and ruthless by them before, and the surrounding small countries and orc tribes have fallen into the ground.
The elves only pursued to the river bank and stopped, but they really didn't have any strength. 10,000 elven warriors, hundreds of elven mages, one-third of the dead and wounded, even if some can be rescued in the end, for the elves with a total population of only a few hundred thousand, it can be regarded as a nerve.
Chen Tang put away his magic robe and musket, walked around, and released water balls one by one to extinguish the fire, and now it seemed that he still had the energy to do this. The lightly wounded elves on the battlefield dragged their tired bodies and began to treat their seriously wounded companions. When Chen Tang walked up to them, there was no indifference in the eyes of each elf, but instead there was deep gratitude and respect, and they bowed to him one after another. Chen Tang always smiled in return, he knew that he had gained the favor of the elf clan.
Perhaps sensing the end of the battle, Nemo the Lion returned with Doloria on his back. The beautiful female elf glared at Chen Tang fiercely, a little embarrassed, as if she hated Chen Tang for daring to hold her and put her on the back of a lion. But that's all there is to it, and when the female elf saw the queen's tired figure, she hurriedly walked over to support her, and asked in a low voice about something.
The queen showed a rare smile, patted her daughter's hand, and motioned to help her walk towards Chen Tang. And the Elven Grand Elders and Saviak also gathered around.
"Lord Brian, we know that no words can express how grateful the elves are to you at this moment, please accept our thanks. The high-ranking members of the elves all bowed to Chen Tang...... This is not too much, because Chen Tang is equivalent to saving the entire elf clan.
"No, you don't need to be, Your Majesty. I just did what a friend should do. And the elves have helped me a lot, and in my opinion, friends don't need to see each other like this. Of course, Chen Tang will not be arrogant, and he will return the same salute modestly.
Without too much greeting, and after expressing her gratitude, the queen began to drag her tired body to direct the treatment of the wounded. The most seriously injured elves were immediately sent back to the royal city, and the lake under the Ancient Tree of Life had a magical healing effect on the elves, allowing them to recover quickly. As long as there is one breath left, it will not die.
Almost everyone was wounded, and the lightly wounded elves had no time to rest and restrain their fallen companions. They were going to be buried under the Holy White Tree, and Doloria had been busy, and it seemed that she was still sulking at Chen Tang, and even she herself didn't know why this was happening, it was a strange feeling.
"Doloria?" Chen Tang leaned over and smiled.
The female elf ignored it and took care of herself to help heal the wounded.
"Your Royal Highness, are you still angry with me? I'm sorry, I solemnly apologize to you, I shouldn't have been so rude to you. Chen Tang felt that it was also a pleasure to tease the beautiful female elf.
"Lord Brian, if you are idle, please go back to the royal city first, I need to help my people now. Doloria said with a strained face, but there was an indescribable good-lookingness.
"Oh, then I'll help too!" Chen Tang didn't wait for Doloria to speak, he picked up the wounded man and put him on the back of the panther mount, and helped him to walk deeper into the dense forest. Doloria stood for a while, helplessly supporting another elf soldier to catch up with Chen Tang's footsteps.
Although it was a victory in the end, it was also a pyrrhic victory. The elves had no joy of winning at all, and returned to the Ancient Tree of Life King City in silence all the way. Chen Tang saw that the wounded soldiers were all put into the lake as clear as emerald, and all the branches of the huge ancient tree of life seemed to tremble, emitting a faint light, enveloping the entire lake, and the wounded lying inside let out a comfortable groan. The visible wound gradually healed, which shocked Chen Tang and gave him a new understanding of this huge ancient tree.
"The Ancient Tree is the mother of all our elves, and as long as she is there, she can repair any of our wounds. Doloria said silently behind Chen Tang.
"Well, I can feel that the elves are a race blessed by the gods. ”
"Thank you again. ”
"Oh, aren't you mad at me?" Chen Tang looked back at Doloria's delicate pretty face and smiled. Gaining Doloria's white eyes, at that moment Chen Tang lost his mind slightly, and secretly exclaimed that he couldn't bear it...... The elf showed her charming side, which was too seductive.
"What are you going to do next?" The entire lake was immersed in silence, the wounded seemed to be asleep, the surrounding holy white trees made a pleasant sound, and Doloria and Chen Tang sat on the grass, chatting.
"I haven't figured it out yet, but I'm going to take a trip to orc territory and see if I can find anything that will help me get home. Chen Tang thought about going home all the time, and through this period of research, he had already gained some understanding of the magic array. But it's only theoretical, you still need to build a magic array in person, and building a magic array is obviously inseparable from the magic crystal.
I learned from the elves that this world is not only a magic crystal in the body of a monster, but also a treasure of magic crystal in some special places, which can mine magic crystals. Although the magic power contained in it is not comparable to the magic crystal of Warcraft, it is best used for practice.
"You inflicted heavy damage on Otto, the king of Celta, although you secretly attacked and blocked the body. But there are still some orcs who see you, and among the orcs there are some shamans whose abilities are mysterious. If you follow up, you could be exposed. It's better to leave after a while, right?" Doloria didn't know why she said this, and subconsciously didn't want Chen Tang to leave.
"Oh, you said that even if I hid my form, I would still be seen through by the orcs, and they still have this ability?" Chen Tang was surprised.
"Hmm. Doloria nodded: "There may not be one in the kingdom of Celta, but there must be such shamans in the powerful kingdoms of the orcs." Just like the [Lion Kingdom] and the [Tiger Kingdom], the two most powerful orc kingdoms, their court shamans definitely have this ability. Although the power of shamans is also in the category of magic, it is very different from our elves, and it is more mysterious and weird, so you must not be careless. ”
Chen Tang remembered it in his heart, and it seemed that he was far from understanding the world. After all, the orcs are the masters of this world, and the elves are just remote supporting characters after all.
As the two spoke, the elves in the lake began to recover and walked out. Saviak waved his arm lightly and walked over. The severed arm had been restored, and the power of the Ancient Tree of Life was truly magical.
"Lord Brian, the Queen asked me to invite you over. Saviak saw Doloria sitting next to Chen Tang, and the two seemed to be very close. A slight frown was made...... The elves are still too conservative, and they don't want the future queen to have a relationship with an alien that goes beyond friendship.
Doloria's face turned slightly red for some reason, and she was a little flustered and took a few steps away from Chen Tang. Chen Tang didn't notice anything, stood up and asked with concern: "Savyak, is your injury okay?"
"Well, the healing of the Ancient Tree of Life, has been restored. Please come with me!" Savjak nodded and said to Doloria on the side, "Your Royal Highness, the Queen asked you to go and bring back the people who moved away, and the orcs should not come to harass us again." ”
Doloria left with her head down, not even greeting Chen Tang. Chen Tang was a little strange, but he was urged by Savjak, so he had to go to see the queen first.
Still in the palace hall of the royal city, the queen and the great elders who had fully recovered their spirits all arrived and gave Chen Tang the most solemn courtesy. Like Doloria, they asked Chen Tang what he was going to do next.
The basics of magic have been learned, and Chen Tang didn't want to continue to stay in the Silver Jungle, so he asked to leave. The queen also seemed to know that Chen Tang would not stay long, and took out a bag of magic crystals and a crystal bottle.
"Sir Brian, let this be our way of thanking you, though it doesn't repay you for all your kindness. ”
Knowing that Chen Tang was learning the magic array, he must be inseparable from the consumption of magic crystals. Although the elves did not produce magic crystal mines, they still collected as many bags as possible and gave them to him. As for the water in the crystal bottle, it is the most essential [Life Spring Water] of the Ancient Tree of Life, which can not only heal any of the most serious injuries, but also cure almost all poisons. Absolutely priceless. That is, Chen Tang helped the elves too much, so they could not bear to send them away.
Chen Tang was not polite, he really needed it, so he accepted it. The queen wanted to hold a banquet for him, but Chen Tang still refused -- the family had just fought a big war, and so many people were killed and wounded, so it was better not to be lively, and the atmosphere was not right.
After a few days of rest, he was about to take his leave. But when he wanted to say goodbye to Doloria, he didn't see her. The queen's reply was: "Doloria is still on her way with the last of her returnees, and I will bring her your words." ”
Chen Tang didn't suspect anything, although he was a little regretful, but maybe he would come back as a guest in the future, so he didn't care. Bidding farewell to the Queen, he rode Nemo the Lion out of the Silver Forest.
