Chapter 1: The Warriors of the Expedition
"Woo ~~~~~~", the loud sound of the horn, sounded over the forest, and more than thirty sturdy horned eagle beasts rose into the air with the sound of the horn, constantly circling in the sky. On the back of each horned eagle beast was a heavily armed elven warrior, and the warriors controlled the flying mounts, and after a few laps around the elven court reluctantly, they rushed into the distance without looking back with the sound of another horn, disappearing into the sea of clouds at the end of the sky.
When the second horn sounded, all the elves outside the house put down their work, took off their hats and buckled them to their chests, raised their heads to the sky, and paid their heartfelt respects to the departing warriors with their eyes and sent sincere blessings. There were no flowers, no ceremonies, just the expectation of another encounter, a habit that the elves had cultivated for thousands of years, and when the heroic warriors went on the march, the people who stayed behind would bid farewell to the brave soldiers in this way, and after the warriors finally left, each elf would continue to do what had been interrupted as usual. There is no crying, there is no reluctance, there is only a piece of indifference in everyone's eyes, at the moment of the start of the war, everyone's heart has already been enlightened, when the soldiers in front fall, these remaining civilians will take up arms, carry out the war to the end, fight until the last person falls, or the last enemy, or the last elf. Elves are such a race, languid and elegant, but fierce enough to be fearless of any provocation and war.
"Woo~~~~~~~", not long after that, another long horn sounded, and more horned eagle beasts flew into the sky, their wings spreading out to block the sunlight on the top of the tree.
There were elven warriors in the sky, but on the ground in the forest, a team walked in the opposite direction, slowly approaching the gate of the elven court from a distance.
"It seems that Vral really received the news, which is why he left you at the outpost to wait for us and return early. The blonde swordsman held a handful of red berries in his hand, threw one into his mouth, and said indistinctly, "But why didn't she tell you directly?"
Ten days ago, the expedition team that was fortunate to not have any attrition quickly left the core of the Forest of Death with the help of the teleportation circle, and as soon as they walked out of the Rodalensel crater, they met their friends who had been waiting at the entrance of the crater. However, to her surprise, instead of waiting for the return of the expedition at the newly built outpost, as she claimed, Vral was replaced by a strange elf, who was said to be a messenger of the royal court, who rushed here from the air at the risk of death and summoned Vral back to the elven court. Even if you ride a flying mount and can go deep into the wandering woodland alone, you must have the strength of a demigod, but I don't know which of those hidden demigods of the elf clan is this.
However, unfortunately, the messenger was only a messenger, and he did not know exactly what had happened, and it is said that the task given to him by Vral before leaving was to assist the expedition to return to the royal court, and as for the rest, Her Majesty did not make any arrangements.
The way back is much smoother than when it came, because it is no longer limited by the mission time, you can move slowly in the forest, and many dangerous places can be bypassed, so although the whole team took more than ten days to return from the wandering woodland to the Elven Royal Court, it was very easy along the way and did not encounter any danger. However, after approaching the royal court, every once in a while, several groups of elven warriors would be seen riding horned eagle beasts, flying in the direction of the forest. This should be the way the elven forest guards assembled, rushing from their respective stations in small groups to the designated places near the forest border, and then gathering into a large army and entering the battle.
"I'm afraid she wasn't sure at the time. "The darlings of light and darkness stretched their white and black wings, and rode steadily on the special vehicle, and habitually tugged at the thick mane of the manticore, ever since the expedition left the wandering woodland and reappeared in front of them, and they learned about what happened in the core forest, the two winged maidens rode on Dilly almost all the time, and no matter how much the poor manticore protested, they refused to leave for a moment, even if the onlookers were already laughing, they didn't care. In the end, the helpless Dilly finally gave up the struggle and acquiesced to the storage of the two ornaments behind him, as for whether he was really so reluctant or secretly happy, no one knows.
"Sister Vral received a message from the royal court to the outpost a few days ago. "Tell us that the royal court has some urgent matters to deal with, and then I left on my own. "I guess she's not sure what the situation is. "That's why we didn't tell us the exact news. "But we're not happy. "That's it, I said I'd wait for you to come out together. "She ran away first. ”
"She's different from you, you two little guys don't need to participate in the decision-making of the clan, of course you can run around casually, but she is also responsible for the more than 800,000 people in the entire clan. Pannis patted Yuanya's head and persuaded: "So, there is no way for her to run back first, look at these troops, the elves are so nervous to prepare for war, I'm afraid the outside has already fallen into the shadow of war." ”
"Oh Brother Kyle, don't say we two are stupid. "Yes, yes, of course we understand such a simple truth. "But we still have to complain. "If you have clearly said something, you should not go back. ”
"Ding Dong", the crisp sound of the Flarenqin sounded not far away, and a melodious voice like singing said to the accompaniment of the piano: "Her Majesty is sorry for this, so she sent me here to wait, ready to welcome the heroes who have returned triumphantly." ”
"Well, why didn't you go out to prepare for war? A guy like you who can support a large area should be very needed by the troops outside. Pannis's eyes twitched, and he said to the beautiful elf who was slowly approaching, "And we didn't come back triumphantly, we were just a bunch of losers." ”
"No, you're wrong. Moore walked up to Pannis, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Anyone who dares to go deep into the core of the forest to face a strong enemy, and can return unharmed and safe, can already be regarded as a triumphant hero, as for whether the task is completed smoothly, in addition to his own efforts, it also depends on whether luck is on our side, and now it seems that luck does not like us too much." ”
