Chapter 44: Elondale's Attack and Defense (5)
In front of the evergreen twin trees in the core area of the elven kingdom Elundelle, Tyrient, the guardian of the ruins who stays on the Lonely Throne, uses the Vientiane Water Mirror to inspect the thorn vines replanted at the city gate last night, fearing that the fresh traces that have been deliberately prompted may be discovered by experienced and experienced adventurers, thus opening the only safe passage.

"If you can have three months...... No, it only takes a month for the only entrance to Elondale to be completely sealed. ā
Tellant clenched his fists and slammed into the stone armrest of the Lonely Throne, "I'm still too soft-hearted!"
The first adventurers to arrive in the inner city of Elondale were all from the Clock Tower Guild, and their leader, "Golden Hourglass" Lesling Meyer, looked up at the "wall" of 30-meter-high metasequoia and 15-meter-high thorn vines, and couldn't help but shake his head.
The straight blue metasequoia tree body and fluffy pale green canopy have not faded their evergreen nature even in late autumn, like a warrior with their heads held high, guarding the country's frontier and unswervingly defending the homeland behind them to the death.
The four rows of metasequoia crisscrossing the front and back, together with the layers of thorny vines that are mixed and formed, form a 15-meter-high and 10-meter-thick "moat" level city wall.
Even if there is no one to defend it, just how to climb over it becomes a desperate problem.
Lesling Meyer walked alone along the "Wall of Thorns", no more, no less exactly a thousand steps, which was exactly the same as the data provided by the intelligence, but unfortunately the gate for ordinary people to enter and exit was never found.
"It is rumored that in the heyday of the Elven Kingdom of the North, thousands of subjects came in and out every day. Without enough portals, how does Elondale maintain its day-to-day operations?I believe that there must be a gate to enter, but it must be deliberately closed by a guardian who is suspected to be a remnant...... Definitely, yes. ā
As Leslyn Meyer pondered, the combined team of the three adventurers' guilds, including the Crimson Knights, the Brotherhood of the Iron Fist, and the Tavern of Dawn, had successfully passed through the vestibule of illusions and approached the inner city of Elondale.
It is true that Lu Bin served as the gatekeeper, but the overall strength of the undead creatures he mastered has been weakened to varying degrees. He estimated that he had exhausted his hole cards and means to defeat this group of adventurers, but the loss would be too much for him to bear, so he did not make a move, and let them move their steps to pass the level.
This is not that Lu Bin is bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, but when the opponent is fully prepared and the strength of the two sides is not much different, in order to avoid excessive losses in a head-on conflict, it is the wisest choice.
The only thing that made him feel strange was that this group of people was not affected by the illusion, Lu Bin paid the most attention to the leading adventurer, and found this person the most suspicious.
After all, the blonde knight had just come ashore when he discovered the location where Lu Bin was hiding, forcing him to leave the makeshift treehouse where he had spent the long night.
"I heard this man's buddy, calling him Moonlight Meria...... Hmph, Lord Muria, I remember you. ā
Lu Bin observed the situation of the personnel in the sparse forest area, except for a few adventurers who were too injured to move, they always stayed on the safe shore, and everyone else entered the inner city of Elondale.
He stood up very consciously, perhaps because of the reconciliation with His Royal Highness the Guardian Tellant, Lu Bin was not affected by any resident spells at all in the illusion vestibule, and left the node where the Water Ring Lanya was located freely, reaching out to summon all the undead subordinates.
The two skeleton archers were unscathed, and the quivers they carried behind their backs contained several different types of arrows. The bare right hand of the Wasteland Howling Wolf is equipped with a hooked blade weapon "Bat Fang", which not only makes up for the biggest shortcomings, but also significantly increases the attack power and damage output, and often serves as the main attacker.
As for the rancid lone wolves, which are nearly half less in number, although the surviving undead creatures have accumulated enough experience to upgrade, they serve as cannon fodder missions, and they are the first to charge into battle every time they attack, and their battle loss rate is very high.
Lu Bin looked at the injuries of the rancid lone wolf, bone cracks and fractures caused by various blunt instruments were the most common, and although the scars left by the blades were terrible, for the undead, as long as they did not cause damage to the core, they would definitely not collapse.
At the same time, Lu Bin also found that there was a rancid lone wolf, the skin on his back seemed to be drenched with strong acid, and the dry and hard muscles melted like water.
He reached out and picked up a handful, placing it on the tip of his nose and sniffing it gently, it wasn't the remnants of a splash of arcane acid, wet muscle scraps, nothing harmful.
"Holy water!"
This special word suddenly popped into Lu Bin's mind, after he found that there were several people with holy emblems on their chests in the adventurer team, and they should be priests who served different gods.
"I guess they don't have the magic to fight the necromantic creatures, so they have no choice but to use holy water to deal with the rancid lone wolf, and it seems that the effect is obviously not very good. ā
There is a priest in the adventurer's team, this discovery made Lu Bin's heart sink, after all, the "priesthood" restrains the "undead", unless the advantage of numbers is used to crush collectively, otherwise with the cooperation of partners who perform their duties, the priest is completely able to eliminate all the rancid lone wolves besieging it.
Lu Bin secretly rejoiced, and let them pass through the illusion vestibule in the mist, it was indeed a prescient move, and the natural restraint in terms of profession, even His Royal Highness Tellant could not blame him for releasing the water.
As for now, the main field of the battle has moved to the core area of Elondale, Lu Bin didn't plan to join in the excitement, his eyes turned to the seriously injured people who were staying outside the sparse forest area.
Taking advantage of your illness, I want you to die!" has always been Lu Bin's principle of fighting monsters, but this time his target is the adventurer, and his subordinates are a group of undead creatures summoned by himself.
"Who made you lustful, and was carried away by the price of the moon's well water? If you dare to invade the elves' home, you must be prepared to be collected. Come, let's fight alone! You alone take on the army of necromantic creatures I lead! Gang fight? Where is your brigade? Now that they are heading to their destination, I can only reluctantly order all the undead under my command to beat you alone. ā
Lu Bin is very conscious of the mastermind behind the scenes, but in order to prevent leakage, he still covered his face with a cloth towel, revealing only a pair of dark eyes.
This kind of outfit with a secret identity made several seriously injured people staying on the shore almost instantly conclude Lu Bin's details, and constantly scolded and abused.
While responding, Lu Bin ordered the Wasteland Howling Wolves, Skeleton Shooters, and a large group of rancid lone wolves to launch a submerged attack, sending the severely injured survivors under the impact of these river valley beast waves to eternal sleep.
The villain died from talking too much, and the supporting characters died from Taizuo!
Lu Bin firmly remembered this classic saying, after all, it is almost universally used in most film and television dramas, and it can be called a golden sentence in the wise saying. Therefore, he never talked a lot of nonsense, let the opponent seize the opportunity to turn the tables, and did not keep dying for inexplicable reasons, it is conceivable that as Lu Bin's opponent, it is very difficult to find his flaws.
After Lu Bin successfully took a few heads, he carefully inspected the situation left and right, and found that there were indeed no fish that slipped through the net, so he prepared to take out the book of the traveling mage and summon the passage connecting the buried bones.
Suddenly, in the bushes on the other side of the river, Moder and Fisch stood up and greeted the "Wandering Mage Rez".
Lu Bin couldn't help but pat his head, remembering that he had instructed them to leave as soon as possible last night, but he didn't expect that many adventurers had arrived on the other side of the river, and they hadn't left until now, and it was estimated that the two mage apprentices had seen a lot of undead creatures before confirming their identities, which was very embarrassing.
Two or three times ripped off the masked cloth towel, Lu Bin showed his true face, and then waved his hand to signal them to leave as soon as possible.
Moder and Faich immediately understood, and at the same time knew that all the adventurer squads had arrived on the other side of the river and had not bothered His Excellency the Wandering Mage Rez, at least he was still alive, shouldn't they be happy about it?
"Let's go back! What happened next in the Elven Kingdom is no longer something we can participate in. ā
Modell's words resonated with Feich, and after waving goodbye to Lord Reze on the other side of the river, they immediately set out on their way home with all their preparations.
Lu Bin watched the two mage apprentices leave, and immediately summoned a thick black mist, ordering the wasteland howl to throw the corpses of the three adventurers into the burial ground.
After finishing the finishing work, he strolled to the shore and looked at the reindeer river, where the water level had not yet recovered, and the murmuring water crashed against the outcropping reef, which was rattling and rattling.
"The Wasteland Howling Wolf is equipped with weapons, and the completion becomes a complete body, my only enchantment card River Valley Beast Wave, when will I be able to fuse four freshwater giant creature cards...... No, even the normal water elemental should be able to elevate it into a veritable four-star card. ā
Thinking of this, Lu Bin couldn't help but look back at the illusion vestibule, lying quietly in the water lily-shaped stone platform of the water ring Lan Ya, he suddenly realized that the key could be this elemental domination ring.
"I can only ask for favors from the Guardian of the Ruins, and I hope that His Highness Tellant will be magnanimous when the time comes!"
