Chapter 44: The Great Retreat
The magic barrier shook and caught Chen Tang's attention, but he didn't do anything. After all www.biquge.info, this is the territory of other people's elves, and you can't just go out casually. And he also thinks that the elves are not so vulnerable, at most they are a little troublesome, and with the messy tactics of those orcs fighting by the river, they are really not the opponents of the elves.
Chen Tang didn't know that the one who fought with the elves at this time was no longer the rabble at the beginning, but the most elite army of the Celta Kingdom. And the elven defense line was about to be breached, so that the queen began to arrange for people to retreat into the depths of the dense forest with her people.
The lion roared not far away, and Chen Tang raised his head in surprise, this was not his usual temperament. And in the Silver Forest, as long as Nemo doesn't cause trouble, there are generally no magical beasts to trouble him.
I saw Nemo roar a few times, turned around and ran back, and actually hid behind Chen Tang. Then Chen Tang saw a group of unicorns with snow-white fur and a crystal like jade unicorn on their heads, galloping past not far from his treehouse. The leader of the Unicorn King was obviously the reason why Nemo the Lion was afraid, because it was a high-level magical beast.
Are the unicorns migrating? Is this their habit or something else? Chen Tang was curious, the unicorn herd walked quietly, followed by the elven tribesmen, one by one, carrying luggage and utensils, as if they were fleeing, mostly women and children. Seeing Chen Tang, they all ignored it, and the atmosphere was terrifying.
At this time, Chen Tang was sluggish, and he also knew that a major change had occurred, otherwise how could the elves flee?............ It's about fleeing, and that's a word that's appropriate here.
No one came to inform him, Chen Tang was confused, and he was looking left and right, wanting to find an elf to ask. The distant female scholar Doloria came over on a unicorn, and before Chen Tang could speak, she said, "I'm sorry, Lord Brian, you need to move with us. ”
"What's going on?" Chen Tang asked.
"The battle ahead is unfavorable, and the flames of war will soon burn into the interior of the Silver Forest. For the safety of her people, the queen has ordered all her people, except for the soldiers, to retreat into the depths. Doloria was much haggard, and apparently she had been busy lately.
Chen Tang was really surprised: "Why is this happening? I remember that the strength of those orcs is not too strong, and their scattered fighting style will not cause too much pressure on you, right?"
"In the past, they were just miscellaneous orcs, but now Otto, the king of Celta, comes to battle with the most elite army of 30,000 orcs in person. We were outnumbered and left to abandon our defenses along the river and enter the jungle to stalemate with the help of magical barriers. But the orcs have the Comodo War Behemoths, and they've gathered dozens of of those behemoths to storm the magical barriers, and we're about to be overwhelmed. ”
Doloria is a very weak elf, which may be why she became a scholar rather than a warrior. Pingran was entrusted with the important task of leading the people to retreat, and the recent busyness made her anxious, and she had not rested for several days. At this time, riding on a unicorn, his body seems to be a little shaky.
Chen Tang's eyes were sharp, and he hurriedly took a few steps, just when he caught the female elf who couldn't hold on and fell down from the unicorn.
"Sorry, I might be sleepy. Doloria blushed a little and thanked Chen Tang for his support.
"You're so tired and need to rest. Chen Tang supported the female elf and wanted her to sit on the grass beside her.
"No, I have to retreat with my people, I still have a long way to go. ”
"The clansmen have been well arranged by you, you see, even if you are not there, they can retreat in an orderly manner, sit down, and rest for a while. ”
Seeing the orderly retreat of the clansmen, Doloria finally nodded and sat on the grass, next to Chen Tang.
"I'm very puzzled, what kind of hatred does the elf clan and the Celta kingdom have that makes them so undying?" Chen Tang didn't understand how the elves who had no quarrel with the world had offended the king of Celta.
"Celta King Otto has made too many demands on us, and we will not agree to him at all, which is why he attacks us so wildly. Doloria said in a depressed mood. Nothing like the retreat of the Elves had never happened before. Just abandoning the royal city and migrating to the depths of the remote dense forest, no one feels good.
Chen Tang misunderstood, he guessed that King Otto had taken a fancy to the beauty of the elves and wanted to ask for a few elf women to enter the palace.
Doloria obviously saw Chen Tang's thoughts, and said with anger in her voice: "It's not what you think, it's Otto who wants us to pay him a hundred unicorns. Unicorns are friends of our elves, how can we possibly let them go out and die?"
Chen Tang said secretly, in his opinion, no matter how precious the unicorn is, it can't be compared with the entire elf clan. And even if they are sent out, it is not necessarily for them to be sent to death. Maybe Otto wants to form a good-looking royal cavalry team, is it possible that he is still ready to eat unicorns?
"According to the information we have received, Otto is searching for the magic beasts of the light system, and then killed by them without exception, no one knows what he is going to do, but there is no doubt that once the unicorn is obtained by him, it will definitely be more than lucky. ”
This Chen Tang couldn't figure it out, as long as the Bright Demonic Beast, what did Otto want to do?But obviously this was not the time to talk about this, after sitting for a while, Doloria stood up and prepared to set off again. "Lord Brian, you'd better retreat with us! Once the magic barrier is breached, no one knows where they will invade, it is very close to the royal city and it is not safe. ”
Chen Tang shook his head, he wouldn't leave. At this time, the elves need help, and it's time for him to reciprocate!
"Doloria, can you take me to the front? I think I can help you with something. "In the past few days of study, Chen Tang has mastered a lot of magic, coupled with his affinity for the elements, his magic power is much stronger than that of ordinary elven magicians, although it may not be able to play a big role, but he still wants to help.
"Thank you for your kindness, but you alone won't be of much help to the whole battle. Doloria said out of complete kindness, although she was very happy with Chen Tang's enthusiasm in her heart, she still declined.
"No, I may have some ideas to help you, send me over!" No matter what Chen Tang said, he had been a wise man of the Golden Wolf Tribe for a while, and he suddenly had an idea in his heart just now, maybe he could solve the crisis in front of him.
Doloria still wanted to persuade again, but Chen Tang had already called over to Nemo, the lion: "If you don't show me the way, then I have to go by myself." Although Chen Tang didn't know the road, he could always return to the edge of the dense forest if he saw the direction, but it would take more time.
In desperation, Doloria had no choice but to order a few elven companions to continue to retreat with her clansmen, while she rode a unicorn and prepared to send Chen Tang to the edge of the jungle. Chen Tang suddenly pointed to the top of his head: "We need to return as soon as possible, can you find two giant eagles or colored sparrows, so that they can fly over faster?" Chen Tang didn't want to be in such a hurry, but just now he felt the fluctuations of the magic barrier rise and fall again, as if it was already crumbling.
I don't know why Chen Tang was in such a hurry, Doloria had no choice but to summon two elf companions riding giant eagles and let them give up their mounts. "Lord Brian, you sit on the back of the giant eagle, and I will lead the way. Remember not to move around. ”
The first time Chen Tang rode a flying mount, Doloria was afraid that he would fall, so she had to remind him. Chen Tang nodded, letting Nemo the lion chase after him, and he climbed onto the back of the giant eagle, on which there was something like a saddle, and two ropes tied around his waist to prevent him from falling. The eagle was visibly uncomfortable, and swung a few times, but was soothed by Doloria.
Doloria got on another giant eagle and let out a crisp whistling, the giant eagle stretched out its wings, flapped violently, began to rise, circled in mid-air a few times, and flew into the distance, and at his feet, Nemo the lion let go completely, and chased through the forest like the wind.
The cold wind in the sky was biting, and Chen Tang had to use elemental power to form a protective shield around his body to block the strong wind. Doloria, who was not far away, was surprised to see this scene............ No one had ever taught Chen Tang this kind of magic, he actually taught himself how to do it, what a jealous talent!
Without talking, they hurried on their way, and after a few days' journey, it took only two hours to see the edge of the dense forest. Nemo the Lion has long been left behind, but fortunately, he sees the direction and will always catch up.
The ground was black, and it was an army of orcs. At this time, the elves at the edge of the jungle had already started a war with the orcs, and it was obvious that they could not wait for the magic barrier to be completely breached before attacking.
Doloria commanded the eagle to land, the elves had spotted them, and several warriors ran over. Chen Tang was moving his limbs a little sore, while Doloria next to him was negotiating with those soldiers. Obviously, Doloria's status was very high, and the elven warriors didn't ask much and took them to the queen.
On the way, Chen Tang couldn't help but ask: "Doloria, what is your identity in the elven clan?" -- personally accepted the teaching of the elven elven elder, was assigned a retreat mission by the queen, and was respected by the elven warriors, her identity is definitely not ordinary.
"Her Majesty is my mother!" replied Doloria casually.
It turned out to be an elf princess, and Chen Tang knew that he had been dealing with the princess.
The elven soldiers on the front line have begun to step out of the magic barrier and attack the orcs, and although they are outnumbered, they can't sit still. The queen and the Great Elder also began to press forward, because the orc king Otto and his guards were already approaching, and a high-level battle between the two sides was about to break out.
Doloria walked up to the queen first and whispered in a low voice. The queen raised her head to look at Chen Tang with an appreciative look in her eyes. Even if Chen Tang alone couldn't play a big role, his expression won the favor of the Elf Queen.
"Lord Brian, thank you very much for your kindness, but you can't do much in such a big battle, so you should retreat with Doloria!
"Your Majesty, there may be a way for me to resolve the elven crisis, but it will require you to pay some price first, and it may be devastating. Chen Tang didn't talk nonsense, and said directly.
Oh, the Queen's eyes lit up. For some reason, she always felt that this alien wouldn't lie, and perhaps, he really had a way!
