Before the Demon Crisis, the Eternal Forest could be called a quiet and peaceful place, the Night Elves were the masters of this large forest, this intelligent and beautiful race had lived a free life on the land since ancient times, in addition to them, there were also many human inhabitants in the outer areas of the Eternal Forest, most of them moved here to escape the war of the human world. The pen~fun~www.biquge.info elves are not completely rejecting these outsiders, they only need to obey the laws of the Night Elf Kingdom and pay a certain amount of taxes on time to obtain some rights to live in the outskirts of the forest.

Despite its near-isolation, most of the humans are reluctant to leave, simply because the Night Elf Kingdom is taxed much less than the human realms, and the Ranger General who rules it commands the Sentinels to maintain order and ensure their safety.

There were originally a lot of Xia people among these human beings, but after the outbreak of the demon crisis, this nation cursed by the gods became the target of public criticism, and the elf high-level ordered all the Xia people to be arrested and expelled, and those who disobeyed were executed on the spot, which undoubtedly pushed the Xia people into the fire pit, and those Xia people who were forced to return to the human world basically could not escape the fate of being enslaved and slaughtered.

The demon crisis has brought great panic to these people who pursue comfort, and the rumors of the demons attacking the town and slaughtering the villagers from time to time make these people fearful. When the administrator of the night elves told them that the Xia people were accomplices of the demons and the main reason for the weakening of the seal of the demon world, all the resentment and dissatisfaction were vented on the inferior people who had no faith.

Most of these residents arrested the Xia people around them, tortured them, handed them over to the elven law enforcement team, and some even directly executed the Xia people around them on the charge of demon spies, these Xia people may have been their neighbors and good friends not long ago, but people are extremely realistic and ruthless when it comes to their own safety.

Others with unusually nimble minds saw an opportunity to make a fortune in this crisis, and they took a large number of Xia people to some hidden corner of the forest under the pretext of providing shelter. These Xia people thought that they would be able to exchange for a stable life after handing over all the income of their hard work, but they were wrong, and what was waiting for them was a slave trader who had been in ambush for a long time......

These people are worthy of being born businessmen, they have enough addiction to making a fortune in the Xia people, and some young and strong Xia slaves, especially some young and beautiful Xia women, make them earn a lot of money......

Hypatia tried her best to put the chaos in order, she risked offending the entire hierarchy to order the release of all Xia people, and also sent troops to arrest all the slave traders in the territory, destroying the dirty and criminal slave trade, and rescuing more Xia people.

Although most of the Xia people have been released, they still lose the right to live in the Eternal Forest, and the Church of Light outside is carrying out a large-scale hunt against the infidels.

Eventually, Hypatia had to take them to a place called the Bekaa Valley, which was on the edge of the forest, and although it was still nominally a cult of the Night Elves, the elves did not garrison any army.

Because it is a low-lying swamp, the Bekaa Valley has no development value for the Night Elves, and is just an external barrier against human invasion.

However, for these Xia people who have nowhere to return, this may be their only place to live.

Many people oppose Hypatia's behavior, in their opinion, this ranger general is sheltering and helping the lackeys of the demons, and the panic spreads further, and rumors are spreading, some say that the seal of the demon world is about to collapse, some say that the elf army was ambushed by the demons, and the whole army is annihilated, and some even say that Hypatia has secretly defected to the demons......

Hypatia withstood the strong pressure and led the army to launch a powerful blow against the demons, and under her clever command, the demons suffered heavy losses and had to give up their plans to gain a foothold in the Eternal Forest, choosing instead to attack the much weaker human kingdom nearby.

Although there are many demons who have passed through the seal, their strength is not too strong for elves, and their strength is too scattered. After fully understanding the movement patterns of these demons, Hypatia first scattered some of the garrisons with poor mobility ability in the villages in the forest, and then gathered the elite troops under her command to form a mobile force with strong combat effectiveness.

In this way, when those villages are attacked by small groups of demons, those garrisons are completely enough to deal with it, and when they are attacked by a large number of demons, the garrisons can also send the news to Hypatia through the magic array set up in the village in advance, and those mobile troops will soon rush over to reinforce them.

In addition, the dangerous locations of the Eternal Forest and the only way to the nearby villages are guarded by elven troops, and the defenders everywhere form an invisible net, once the whereabouts of the demons are discovered, what awaits them will be an overwhelming rain of arrows from the elves.

After severely damaging the last few demon armies that broke out of the seal, the Eternal Forest finally calmed down temporarily.

However, the Eternal Forest was so vast that even the most elaborate troop arrangements would inevitably be sparse, and Hypatia had to tense her nerves all the time.

When the moon is in the sky, the moonlight pours down like flowing water, reflecting this dark land.

Hypatia stood on a hillside, bow in her hand, moth frowning, her eyes full of melancholy.

What had always worried her happened.

It was the rainy season, and a small group of demons took advantage of the elves' unpreparedness and dug up the embankment of the rushing river.

The flood engulfed all the nearby villages like uncontrolled beasts, and countless villagers were buried in the muddy current, along with the elven guards who guarded them.

"Durontar, send more men to help the victims, as soon as possible! Remember, as long as they have the slightest chance of survival, you must do everything in your power to save them!" Hypatia gave a decisive order to a slender male elf beside her.

"Yes, I'll take everyone with me and set off at once!" Durontar gave a solemn military salute to Hypatia, and hurried to the stricken village with a large crowd of men.

"Monica, you take the medical team to treat the injured, and if there is a shortage of medicines, contact the Finn in charge of the transportation of supplies in time, I don't want the rescue to be untimely. Hypatia then turned to a handsome female elf behind her.

"Well, General Hypatia, don't worry, I'll do my best to save them. "The elf named Monica floated lightly past Hypatia, she was not only the leader of the medical team, but also a good high-level magician, and healing magic was her forte.

Hypatia looked down the hillside, and in the ocean of the old village was almost nowhere to be seen, except for a faint glimpse of a few broken roofs.

"Parimoya, give me a brief report on this disaster. Hypatia looked melancholy, and although the demons had given up on fighting her head-on, it didn't mean that they would stop there.

"The place where the demons dug the dam happens to be located in the middle section of the rushing river, due to the high water level of the river, the damage is extremely ......" Parimoya swallowed his saliva, and found that Hypatia's face was gloomy and terrifying, if such a thing happened, their troops in charge of guarding the Eternal Forest would not be able to escape their responsibilities, and the Council of Elders was afraid that they would take this opportunity to further suppress them.

"Go on, I'll take care of the Elders' side, you just need to do your job, and no one will embarrass you. Hypatia seemed to see through his thoughts, and she turned her head slightly to look at Parimoya and whispered.

"Yes!" Parimoya glanced at Hypatia with a little gratitude, and continued his report, "According to preliminary statistics, more than forty villages have been affected by this flood to varying degrees, in addition to three elven villages and nine human villages that have been completely engulfed by the flood, and there is no sign of any survivors in these villages so far, and the elven guards guarding these villages have determined that all of them have been killed......"

Hypatia stretched out her white and delicate right hand and gently pressed her forehead, although she had been mentally prepared, the situation was far worse than she expected. At this time, as long as you close your eyes, it seems that you can see those ruined villages, swollen corpses, and cry out for the suffering of the victims......

Her body trembled constantly, and the longbow in her hand was unsteady, it seemed to be countless times heavier than usual, and the longbow shook uncontrollably in her hand a few times before finally falling to the ground with a "snap".

Forty villages were affected, and twelve were completely destroyed! Tens of thousands of people were affected, and there is no doubt that this is an unusually heavy loss.

If it was on the battlefield, even if it was against thousands of demons head-on, there would be no such big losses!

"General Hypatia......" Parimoya looked at her worriedly, and then stopped.

"I'm fine. Hypatia took a deep breath and gently picked up the longbow on the ground, regaining her emotions.

"Timilan, you take a team of archers to pick up Averl, be sure to exterminate the demons who are digging the levee, in addition, pay special attention to collecting information on the demons, you remember to remind her not to act recklessly. "After learning that the embankment had been dug up, Hypatia immediately sent her vanguard officer to hunt down the perpetrators of this disaster, and those demons were doomed.

"Yes, General Hypatia, I will make these demons pay for their blood!" Timilan nodded heavily, his fists clenched.

"Exterminating this demon clan is still secondary, your more important task is to find out the information of the demon clan, I need you to use all means to understand the next plan and deployment of the demon clan!" Hypatia continued to give orders, as the commander of this army, she knew very well that the biggest problem they were facing at the moment was the lack of intelligence, she did not know the plans and deployment of the demons at all, and the demons had figured out the terrain of the Eternal Forest due to their long-term infiltration of the Middle-earth continent.

Intelligence advantage, this is the main reason why the demons have been presented this time.

"Understood!" the elf named Timilan took the order and quickly disappeared into the distance with his own men.
