Chapter 151: The Burning Forest
The huge wings of the necromantic bird vibrate only once in half a minute, and most of the time it glides on the wind, flying fast and steady.
Chang Le and Miraya rode a giant beast to soar into the blue sky for the first time, which was definitely a new experience, and the strong wind blowing in their faces was particularly exciting.
After Changle completed the communication of his thoughts, he suddenly stopped playing with Miraya, no longer talking nonsense and joking, and the whole person seemed to have turned into a stone statue, his face was sinking like water, and he didn't say a word.
Miraya thought that the refusal to marry had angered Chang Le, and she looked apprehensive and a little angry, and looked back at him from time to time, wanting to speak but hesitating but not speaking.
Chang Le knew what she was thinking, but she didn't bother to say anything, her mind had already flown thousands of miles away, to the tent of Crown Prince Frank's barracks.
As soon as he thought of the handsome and noble crown prince talking sweetly at this moment, launching an offensive with aristocratic flowery rhetoric, and the beautiful and shy Fanny bowed her head with a smile, that heart might be gradually melting, and his own heart was torn into bloody forest pieces.
He has only been a "bad guy" for less than half a day, and now he has found that this way of behaving is not suitable for him at all.
The so-called "do my own thing", the so-called "ignore pedantic morality", the so-called "what if the women I like are accounted for", the sum of the pleasure brought by all these "bad things" can't withstand the light knife of a true beloved woman.
Fanny actually didn't "stab the knife", after she broke up with Chang Le, she was originally qualified to find another happiness.
But "love" can certainly bring sweet happiness, but it can also cause tragic pain.
Since he will be stung by "love", Chang Le is destined not to be a "bad person".
Being able to hold back his tears and keep his appearance silent is already far beyond his peers, and he still wants to "talk and laugh freely", which is impossible anyway.
Even the lines that he was going to persuade the elven queen to form an alliance have now been forgotten, and the only thought in his heart is to end everything as soon as possible, rush back to the other side of the river, gather his troops, and kill Sesnek immediately!
There will be 300,000 troops from four countries shedding blood, what can you do with a few thousand men and horses?
It doesn't matter, Chang Le only knows that there is a girl on that battlefield, whose name is Fanny, and he wants to find her, protect her, and take her back!
Even Wendy will understand her choice!
Whoever stands in the way of the realization of this goal is the enemy!
Chang Le looked at the rapidly receding canopy of the forest sea and secretly gritted his teeth.
At this time, the elf princess was looking back again, and when she saw his hideous face, she finally couldn't hold back any longer, and shouted angrily:
"Do you really want to use force against our clan with such a ruthless appearance? The reason is simply that I don't agree to marry you? As the head of a clan, how can you, as the head of a clan, be so rash and take the lives of the demon dragon clan and the elven clan warriors as a child's play!"
Chang Le's gaze slowly pulled back to Miraya's face from a distance, and asked blankly:
"Huh?"
"Isn't it?" said Miraya, anxious and angry.
Chang Le was still at a loss:
"What did you say?"
"I know, you don't take my words seriously!" Miraya said even more sadly, "You pride yourself on having a powerful Wyvern Knight, and we elves are on the ground, so we can't do anything about you!"
Chang Le didn't say a word, frowning, trying to turn his thoughts back to reality, he only heard the last sentence of Miraya, and had to work backwards from it to figure out what she wanted to say.
Miraya snorted coldly and turned over her hole cards:
"Respected Demon Dragon Patriarch, I have to remind you that Her Majesty Pantania, the queen of our clan, is a peak war spirit, and she has been rushing through the level recently, and she may break through to the Battle Sect at any time!
"I was trying to tell me that your mother is very powerful. Chang Le smiled, and couldn't help but tease her again, "The mother-in-law is amazing, and the son-in-law also has face, I'm very happy." β
When Miraya heard this, her face turned blank and she replied haughtily:
"Don't mention the marriage proposal again, I said, you are too inattentive!"
The evaluation of "too inattentive" stung Chang Le again, Fanny's voice and smile kept flashing in front of his eyes, and his face became gloomy again.
Miraya quietly looked back twice, and grunted angrily and complained:
"You'll only be angry! You'll be angry at every turn! When you're angry, you'll shout and kill!"
Chang Le was all joking when he shouted and shouted to the elves before, but now he is really shouting and killing in his heart, but the target means something else.
Hearing the other party's evaluation, he couldn't help but sigh:
"I have no other way but to use force. β
Miraya pouted and scolded softly:
"Fool!"
Chang Le stared into the distance and was silent.
Miraya waited for a while, quietly looked back at him, suddenly pursed her lips and smiled, and bumped him with her elbow:
"Tell me, can you change it?"
After waiting for a long time to see Chang Le answer, Miraya hit another elbow:
"Hey, can you change it?"
"Change what?" Chang Le's gaze moved back to Miraya's face, a blank expression.
"Correct your mistakes and be a dedicated man!"
"It's changed...... Pity...... It's a bit late......"
Chang Le's last sentence was very low, with the pain of "it's too late to regret".
Miraya was green and her cheeks appeared, and her face was full of shy smiles:
"As long as you can change it...... Then it's never too late. β
After pausing for a moment, seeing that Chang Le was slow to react, she raised her elbow and hit it again:
"Did you hear that?"
"Oh, it's not too late, I'll do my best to make amends. Chang Le was thoughtful and responded casually.
As a result, this dialogue ended successfully, and the two sides were completely different from the same track, but they could still echo each other and get the answers they wanted.
"Actually...... You're good......."
Miraya made the most obvious confession so far, and then turned her head shyly, not daring to make eye contact with Chang Le again, but she was obviously very happy, her long hair was blown up by the wind, and her arms were spread like small birds spreading their wings, as if she was flying herself.
Soon after, she began to sing, the lyrics were elf-like, the content was unknown, but her voice was crisp and melodious, and the melody was graceful.
Chang Le kept frowning, in contrast to the happy elf princess in front of him.
The journey continued in this eerie atmosphere, until the overwhelming necromantic cavalry flew into a large river and threw their hideous figures into the water.
Miraya stretched out her hand and pointed out, saying that if you go southwest along the river, you will see the capital of the elven kingdom, and tell him to fly as low as possible, so that the elven sentinels on the riverbank can see the princess and know that the demon dragon clan is not coming to invade this time, so as not to have a misunderstanding.
After some conversation just now, the naΓ―ve princess believed that Chang Le would not attack the elven clan, and no longer had the slightest guard against him.
This route is not unexpected, the elven king is said to have a population of 100,000, such a large settlement, it is impossible not to rely on the river, so he immediately waved his hand and ordered, and the whole army changed to a column, flying along the river.
Lowering the altitude is also in line with Pabadua's suggestion, as the Necro Bird is already a little tired after flying long distances, and can gain extra lift close to the surface of the water and can fly with less effort.
It's just that in this way, the huge necromantic birds still have to keep a distance from each other, and the shape of the whole army has been stretched to a distance of five or six kilometers, and Chang Le can't see the tail of the team clearly when he turns around.
This made Chang Le feel unsure, flying too close, and being in a column, which made him easily ambushed, such as countless archers or ballista raids.
So after a few brief explanations, Pabadova led the team slowly, and he took Miraya to speed up to the front, about two kilometers ahead of the team, so that he could personally probe the possible enemy.
Even in this kind of moment, Chang Le has not lost his habit of being cautious.
And not long after he went out to reconnoitre, he realized that the situation was not right.
Black smoke, faint firelight, and mournful shouts, there are many people's screams ahead!
There is not an ambush ahead, but a killing is happening!
"This ...... What's going on? Who's at war with whom?"
Whoever and whom, one of them must be elves, so Miraya looked anxious and desperately stood up from the bird's back, as if that way she could see more.
"Sit tight!"
Chang Le held her down, urged the necromantic bird to tilt nearly ninety degrees, turned around at full speed, met his subordinates, and ordered in a loud voice:
"All landed, the woods on the shore were hidden!"
The battle may come at any time, and the Demon Dragon Clan warriors will not have any problems with their physical strength, but the explosive power of the Necro Bird after a long flight is bound to be reduced, and if they want to enter the battlefield, they must first be allowed to accumulate strength.
And Chang Le himself did not delay for a moment, urging the car to turn over and turn sharply at 90 degrees again, and at the same time suddenly pulled up into the air.
Fly high to see far!
Once he flew over the scene and saw what was happening, even Chang Le, who had been in battle for a long time, was shocked.
Almost immediately, Miraya began to scream, turning around and pulling Changle to cry for him to save someone.
But Chang Le tried to stay calm, his eyes quickly scanned through the billowing black smoke, and he had to sort out the whole situation before deciding on his actions.
In the smoke below, a large group of elven archers fled in panic, and they were surrounded by an endless sea of fire.
It's also a wonder why elves, who are known for their agility and vigilance, are surrounded by forest fires!
Chang Le urged the necromantic bird to climb again, and in fact the car itself was climbing higher, because the barbecue of the fire made it unbearable.
Soon, Changle spotted the boat by the river, and after a brief conversation with Miraya, he immediately understood the cause and effect.
Below is the trap set by the Cayenne, and the elves have fallen for each other's evil!
The Kayan people and the elven kingdom have been fighting each other for many years, mainly because humans want to cut down trees to clear the wasteland for farming, and the elves want the forest to continue to flourish and expand.
On the plains, it was difficult for the elves to fight against the well-equipped human army, but once they entered the forest, the Cayan people were helpless, and even the super masters among the human cultivators were apprehensive about the silent rain of arrows in the dense forest.
The Qingshui River in front of us originated from the Cayan Empire, crossed the entire forest and merged into the Starr River, where the Elven King was located, and theoretically speaking, humans could rely on sturdy ships to resist the rain of elven arrows, and run down the river and attack from a distance.
But the elves were also on guard, as Miraya had said during the flight that the banks of the river were full of elven sentinels.
And there are also barrage ropes on the way, once dozens of tough thick vines are pulled up and straightened, fixed on the big trees on both sides, they can block any boat, and the humans on the boat cannot advance or retreat, and it is difficult to escape.
After several failed attempts, the Cayenne no longer sent ships to attack, instead using heavily armed shield infantry to cover the crossbowmen, slowly advancing along the edge of the forest with the logging work, making it difficult for the elves to make use of their strengths.
But that doesn't mean the people of Cayan are no longer interested in the river.
This time, dozens of large ships were down the river, and the elves had their usual sentinels to send warnings, and then a general led his army to set up an ambush at the selected barrage rope, ready to annihilate the enemy again.
Unexpectedly, after the enemy stopped the ship, they did not come down to fight, but shot countless rockets, including ballistas and small trebuchets, all of which were spreading flames into the forest.
In the hot summer, the Kayan forest is the dry season, and it is the most likely time to catch fire!
The elves have already had a set of formed methods to deal with forest fires, but they are methodical in disaster relief, and now they are suddenly besieged by flames in all directions!
It was estimated that at least 5,000 elven female archers were trapped in the fire, and if they were all burned to death, it would be a terrible blow to the entire clan! You must know that there are many elven women and men, and there are only about 100,000 women in the whole clan, including the old and the young.
That's why Miraya cried bitterly.
And Chang Le still has a question unsolved, how could the rockets fired from the ship quickly form a large fire circle within a radius of several kilometers, causing the elves to ambush the soldiers with nowhere to escape?
A fireball suddenly fell from the air, and the flames that exploded engulfed nearly 100 square meters of jungle.
This immediately reminded Chang Le, could it be that a mage cast a "Fire Meteor" or "Fireball Technique"?
He hurriedly looked up, but saw that there were many black spots faintly distributed above the thousands of meters, if it weren't for the fireball just now, no one would have paid attention to these inconspicuous little spots, but the fireball came from there!
Miraya followed Chang Le's gaze, and also stretched out her hand to point, shouting with a crying voice:
"That's them! That's what they set on fire!
"Go up and have a look!"
Chang Le urged the Necro Bird to fly outside the war zone for a moment, and then suddenly climbed, soaring upward, and detoured to a higher airspace from the opponent's line of sight.
When he saw his target, he was dumbfounded.
There is such a thing!
Unexpectedly, in addition to the necromantic cavalry of the Demon Dragon Clan, there are others who can fly!
