114. The strength and secrets of the elves

From the elves' station to the base camp of the Green Cross cult, the distance in a straight line is more than seventy kilometers on the traffic map of East. According to www.biquge.info the convention of the underground area, this distance is not 150 kilometers away, and it is a real miracle.

Although the team has grown a lot because of the addition of elves, the overall strength has doubled. But elves have never been a race known for their stamina. If you want these elves to maintain a high marching speed, you need to be well prepared and well arranged.

Fortunately, the elves have lived here for five years and are already familiar with the surrounding situation. Several of them even traced the trails left by the defeated Green Cross Cult to the outskirts of the Green Cross Cult's base camp. It was only because of the large number of enemies there and the strong defense that they could not continue to go deeper.

According to the elves, with the current composition of the personnel, it is necessary to walk on the road for a day or so, and then rest for a night under the noses of those cultists. The next day, you can attack.

Valentina agreed with the elves' claims. After all, counting the time it took to get here, the quartet had already reached the point where it was time to rest after this last stretch of the road. While not resting for a day or two won't have much impact on Legends and high-tier warriors, there are now many members of the team with spellcaster ranks, so a thorough break is much more important.

The elves were supposed to prepare food for the road, but Valentina waved her hand to indicate that she had covered all of them. This shortens the team's preparation time to a fraction of a moment. This also made the four of them truly realize what kind of military quality these elves have.

Within a moment, the elves had completed the selection of attackers, the redistribution of equipment, the formation of those left behind, and the determination of the first batch of personnel to leave.

During the time of the attack on the Green Cross Cult, the elves who stayed behind would pack their bags with all their might, and when the attacking team returned, they would let the first group of personnel set off.

This group was led by Bella Vera, and was mainly a disabled member of the elves. They will join up with Valentina and her group, and use the help of two legendary powerhouses in their companions to drive away all kinds of monsters along the way.

The two elven stalkers were always two kilometers ahead of the group, diligently exploring. Elves with night vision are at home in dark environments. With a high level of agility, the elves who became stalkers were ghosts in the dark, and even it took a few more minutes for Esther to determine the exact location of the two stalkers.

With such two scouts in front, the team behind naturally did not have to maintain a highly tense state of enemy marching.

This section of the road is very clean on both sides of the road because the Green Cross cultists and elves often kill each other. Slightly larger underground creatures were either killed or driven away.

Esther and Ernes Flower Language walked and chatted at the front of the line. Of course, it was mainly Ernes who kept talking. It seems that because she finally met a new face and didn't bother to maintain the elder's shelf, Ernes was quite talkative.

From Elness's words, East learned that most of their elves were originally escorts of the envoys. The elven envoy they escorted was a prince of the elven court of the Phinetera plane. The prince was unlucky, first being ambushed by the Void Ships that had been set up in advance by the Commercial Alliance as he left Finitera, and then entering an unknown void with an undetermined target when he was being pursued by the enemy ships. Later, the entire ship lost its way in the void until it ran out of supplies.

Just when everyone was starving to death, they encountered a void ship of the Coronian Void Fleet. The warship was supposed to conduct a preventive patrol on the periphery of the Coronya plane to prevent unauthorized ships from entering the range of Coronia and thus obtaining the coordinates of the Void of Coronia.

The elven Void ship was unfortunately treated as a malicious visitor. Coronia's Void Ship immediately attacked it. As a result, the captain of the battleship found out that this was a defenseless opponent. The captain then ordered the marines to land on the enemy ship and conduct a capture operation.

Referring to that battle, Ernes was embarrassed to say that she had passed out of hunger at that time, and she didn't know what had happened. The elves, including her, were captured alive without resistance at the time.

And then it's just the selection and isolation that doesn't know if it's a blessing or a curse. Along with ninety-nine other female elves, Erneth was selected and sent to the Coronia Zoo. As for the rest of the elves on the ship, as far as East knew, they were all used as trophies by the captain at the time, and sold to the fleet logistics office according to the rules for the disposal of loot in the royal fleet of Coronia. The Fleet Logistics Department, at the next Void Ship Regimental Fair, auctioned off all these elven captives as slaves.

The elven prince is said to have been bought by a Kregan lady who liked his handsome appearance. Thinking of the "juicer" reputation that the Creagan woman left behind outside, East wasn't sure he would be able to survive in that environment until now.

In the conversation, Ernes brings the ten years in the zoo to the beginning of the story after they escaped from the zoo. Although Esther was eager to learn the details of a beautiful woman's life at the zoo, he couldn't deliberately poke her scars.

After escaping from the zoo, the elves first hid in the forests south of Coronia. However, due to the impact of the zoo riots, His Majesty the King issued a decree to tell the elves to be apprehended. This directly led to the relentless pursuit of these elves by the Coronian side. If it weren't for the fact that the forest could be regarded as the home of the elves, and there were many druid mages among them, they would have no chance to escape to the underground area, and they would have been wiped out in the heavy roundup.

The elves, who were unfooted on the ground, had originally planned to migrate away from Coronia after recognizing the situation. By this time, however, their whereabouts had been revealed, and a large number of human armies and adventurers had swarmed them, encircling them in a remote forest. It was impossible to break through the siege, and with their equipment level and average level at that time, they could only be sent to death in vain when they encountered the Colombo City Guards, who had been prepared for a long time. At this critical juncture, they accidentally discovered a portal to the underground area.

At the time, the elves didn't know where the portal led or what awaited them behind it, but they couldn't think much about it in the crisis. Whether they choose to be completely annihilated by the human army or gamble their luck through the portal is not a question for them at all.

"Is that the portal the gateway to the station you're talking about?" Esther was interested in a fixed portal. You must know that any fixed portal will require a great deal of cost to establish and maintain.

"Yes. The portal teleported us directly to the underground area, in a man-made cavern at the edge of the swamp of the wetland. ”

"And then no humans came down through that portal?"

"Of course not. Ernes had a smug look on her face. "As soon as we passed through the portal, we destroyed it. ”

"Have you ever thought that if that portal was still usable, it would be very easy and quick for you to return to the surface. ”

Ernes thought for a moment and said with some uncertainty: "At that time, the destruction of the portal was presided over by Bella Vera. When we get back, we can ask her if there's a way to turn it back on. ”

Watching the elves silently walk through the dark caverns like shadows in the dark, Valentina, who was originally very unimpressed by these elves, also felt a little surprised.

She turned to Mora Gault beside her and said, "Elves are a very good race to be scouts! they are agile and quiet, have night vision and are good at stealth, making them ideal candidates for combat scouts. We in Coronia should also recruit some elves to serve as scouts in the army. ”

"That can't be. It is impossible for Coronia to recruit aliens into the army. The old family motto of the Coron family is to never believe in aliens. Maura Gault looked at Valentina, who also had a Koren surname but didn't actually know anything about Koren's family history.

"The House of Cologne and the House of Pervas are both branches of the nobility from the same ancient and powerful plane. In that plane, humans are the only intelligent beings. This has led to humanism in many human beings. They believe that only one creature in the multiverse, humans, is considered a sapient being, and that the other species are lower animals. Even if they encountered many powerful inhuman and intelligent races in their later plane explorations, these races were regarded as aliens by those supporters of humanism and were never accepted. ”

"This is not good for the development of the army. "Valentina still doesn't give up. "Or we can recruit a group in the Void Fleet and give it a try. The eldest princess will definitely support this idea. ”

Mora Gaudt shook her head. "Don't think that all the elves are the same as the elves in front of you. You know, even your Void Marines can't reach such a high average level as these elves, right? I think there must be a secret hidden in them that three of them have become legends in a short period of time, and they have made all of them high-rank. ”

"Are you saying that these elves have mastered the method of rapid ascension?" Valentina immediately became alert. "This method must be in the hands of the royal family. ”

"It's not necessarily a quick way to upgrade. Maybe it's something else. Maybe they don't know either. Mora Gault shook his head again.

"I think the crux of all of this is why the Green Cross cultists became interested in a desolate wetland swamp and continued to attack the elves despite their constant losses. ”

"Damn!" Valentina suddenly kicked the ground in front of her hard. "Dardo, that bastard, he definitely has something to hide from me. ”
