Sovereign on horseback was silent, not only him, but the entire team moving at high speed. ｗｗｗ。 しwxｓ520。 In the aftermath of last night's controversy, a solemn atmosphere spread through the makeshift team, as Soram said as he turned to leave: What brings us together is not trust, but no choice......

"Don't you have a choice?...... the boring sight sped backwards in Soveland's sight, his eyes wrapped in cloak staring in one direction as if they had lost focus. He thought of the talking skull, Mott, of the dark green palace, and of the Lord of Nothingness who stood in front of the origin of the world, asking and answering questions with him.

"Fate is not your enemy, you are the ......," Sovereign repeated softly, "If the enemy is me, then what should I do?......" he looked down at the palm that covered the cloak, unable to even move a moment. "To regain grip on the weapon, to stand up?" "The price, yes, everything has a price...... Finally, he turned his gaze to the dark figure at the front of the line, whether it was good or evil.

Heading southwest, the team from Belém never seemed to change its direction. The sun rose slowly in the sky in front of them to the left, and as the galloping shadow slowly shortened from oblique to elongated to a concentrated black circle under the horse's hooves, the first orange ball of light hanging high above their heads, releasing a billowing heat wave in the air.

However, this torment did not last long, and when they rode their horses and rushed up a raised hill, the repetition of the scenery finally ushered in a gratifying change.

The undulating terrain finally slowed down here, and a vast meadow stretched out from under his feet into the distance, and in the bright sunlight, the unfading water dew shrouded it shallowly, shining with a touch of brilliant brightness. The south wind blew, and the whole meadow seemed to come alive in an instant, and the delicate grass stalks were overwhelmed and bounced again. Layers of satin-like brocade spread out like thin waves at high tide.

At the end of the line of sight, lush verdant trees rise from the ground, and thick tree trunks connect along the edge of the meadow to form a forest that covers the sky. Unlike the forests that can be found everywhere in the kingdom, she seems to exude its own mystery. As old as time, and as young as spring. The ocean-like crown fluttered in the wind, and the rustling sound from afar seemed to be singing about the magnificence and splendor that belonged only to her.

Sauveray removed the hood from his head and looked out at the beautiful forest, the breeze on his cheeks dispelling the depression between his brows. He seemed to smell the verdant. "That's, that's ...... Moonrise Forest?......"

"Yes, the forest at the beginning of the month. Aemond's voice was confused.

In fact, it was not only him, but the rest of the team was replaced by this infrequently mentioned place name, and even several of Solam's subordinates showed shocked expressions.

The Moonrise Forest has been the seat of the elven kingdom of Quirinsna since the beginning of the new calendar. With the exception of Creek Forest, which was opened for trade, the Wood Elves who live here almost never interact with other races or other nations, and even after more than a thousand years, they still maintain their ancient traditions and secluded lifestyle.

More importantly, though, these proud elves have never been merciful to other races that trespass into their territory. This is one of the reasons why everyone was so shocked when they saw the forest at the beginning of the month.

"Is the place you're taking us to the Moonrise Forest?" Tandra asked, turning to Soram, "I'm sure you're well aware of the consequences of stepping into elven territory. He didn't expect that the destination of his group was actually outside the border, and it was the elven territory that had always resisted humans.

Soram nodded. "That's right, it's the moon forest. He cast his gaze hidden in the hood to the Moonrise Forest, "Also, I know why I didn't tell you your destination in advance......

Old Sean's expression was equally serious. "You mean, the hope of healing Sovereign rests on the elves?" he said, unbelievable even to himself, "although legend has it that the high priest of the elven clan has the power to heal near miracles. But judging by their extremely repulsive personality, there is nothing likely about us getting them to lend a hand. ”

Soram shrugged noncommittally, but the voice of Orr Kane next to him rang out. "We used to say that if there was someone in this world who could heal his injuries. That can only be us. "And our method is in the Moonrise Forest, and since we have come here, the worst outcome is nothing more than a failure of the treatment, and I believe that there will be no worse outcome......" The old man set his eyes on Soveland.

Sovereign smiled wryly and shook his head in agreement. Tandra and Old Sean looked at each other and made up their minds. "Let's go, Solam, and take us to the Moonrise Forest. Tandra said, then smacked the horse's head and prepared to ride down the gentle slopes of the hills.

But just then, Kuhl, who was at the back, was caught by another strange sight. "That's ...... What?" I saw a thick cloud of smoke and dust rising from afar between the rolling hills behind the diagonally, appearing and disappearing, as if something was moving at high speed.

Thomas, who was standing not far in front of him, subconsciously glanced back when he heard this, but the faces of the two of them instantly became bloodless. "Cavalry, sir, there are cavalrymen behind you!" they shouted almost simultaneously.

Everyone on the top of the slope was startled, and countless eyes shot towards the puff of smoke and dust. With the flying dust, dozens of cavalry rushing at high speed finally rushed out of the cracks in the hills, and the armor covering the whole body shook out a blinding cold glow in the midday sun.

"How could it be the Belén Guard?!" Old Sean immediately recognized the identity of the cavalry from their equipment, "Could it be that the Galcella brothers of Belém Province are also involved in this deal?"

But that's not the point, because the cavalry in front of them is not a rabble that can be sent away at will, and even Aemond, who has been stationed at Blade Fortress all year round, has heard of their name. If you only talk about the quality of soldiers, the quality of the Belém Iron Guard can only rank in the lower reaches of the seven provinces of the kingdom, but just like the province of Belém where they are located, the biggest characteristic of this cavalry regiment directly belonging to the Galcella brothers is that they have money and squander it.

Armor specially customized by the dwarven craftsmen of the stone mason mountain city, the top war horses produced by the Aranok Empire, and the broken armor sword forged by orc craftsmen. There is even a longbow that circulates in small quantities in the Elven Kingdom...... Armed to the teeth with gold, this cavalry regiment perfectly exemplifies the war style of the province of Belém, which crushes any enemy who dares to challenge with the riches of a country that rivals the riches.

With more than forty of them, Tandra almost instantly decided that the battle would be won or lost—certain death. "Hurry up! If we get over, we won't win!"

Solam, who was next to him, just glanced at it, and immediately turned his horse's head. Rushed down the hill with Sovereign and the others. He understood what Tandra meant, this encounter was not an inability to win in the sense of a battle, but once they were entangled together, even if their side could rely on their strong individual strength to get a certain number of kills, Soveran's safety would inevitably be threatened. After all. No one expected that the Belém Iron Guards, who followed closely behind, were to capture His Highness alive, not to kill him.

At the same time, Olick, who was riding at the front of the line, drew the long sword at his waist. "Catch up with me!" With a shout of rage, the speed of the whole team suddenly pushed to the extreme.

In fact, he had already discovered Sovereign and the others on the top of the hills, but it was basically impossible to sneak up among the hills that could not be hidden. He could only lead his subordinates to rush faster and faster, chasing more and more urgently, and Zhitu successfully entangled him before the other party found out. But unfortunately, the other party's vigilance obviously did not relax because of the short break.

But even so, the chief of the guard did not feel too much disappointment. Because he knows the strength of his team very well, as long as he finds the target, there is no possibility of returning empty-handed!

Rushing down the hillside, Solam led the group headlong into the vast sea of grass, and it didn't take long for the Belen Iron Guard, who had completely let go of his speed, also killed. In an instant, the two teams, which had been running one after the other for almost two days and two nights, finally saw each other clearly, and started a life-and-death escape and pursuit on the meadow on the edge of the moonrise forest.

The grass was crushed by the roaring hooves of horses, tossed, and swirled into the air. The ground in Soveland's eyes had been dragged into an emerald green light by the galloping warhorse. He looked behind him through Aemond's shoulder, and saw the Belen Iron Guard with a murderous aura getting closer and closer to him, believing that it would not be long before he was completely overtaken.

The current situation made Tandra and the others look more and more solemn. "I'll go after I go, you go first! Remember what you promised. Sovereign must be cured!" Tandra suddenly shouted at Soram at the front, and then broke away from the line and killed the pursuers in the rear.

Before Old Sean and the others objected, Solam's angry shouts came from the fierce wind. "Don't go! Let them chase you! If you go, you can only die in vain! With or without you, we can all get out of here alive!

"We're going to catch up!" Tandra roared, "and the difference in the quality of the horses can't be erased!"

"Rush into the Moonrise Forest! If you want to live, follow me into the Moonrise Forest!" Solam shouted as he glanced back at the crowd behind him.

There is no other choice. Everyone in the team urged the horses under their crotches and rushed straight towards the clearer and clearer forest. Behind them, the Belén Iron Guards led by Orik collectively changed into longbows in their pouches under the orders of the chief of the guard. He knew that the moonrise forest was in front of him, and he knew that in the territory of the elves, he had to fight quickly.

The verdant of the ground grew darker and deeper, as if it were the shadow cast by the edge of the forest on the meadow. When Essaouiran actually came to the Moonrise Forest, he realized how tall the trees were. The straight and vigorous bodies pierce the sky like giants standing up to the sky, and the deep scenery in the forest seems to be obscured by the twists and turns of light and shadow and mist, blurry and unreal.

With a low trill, Essaoweran's thoughts were suddenly pulled back. "Damn, be careful with the bow!" reminded Aemond, who was skilled in this way, as the bowstring shook the moment. With his roar, Solam and the others rushed into the Moonrise Forest with their warhorses and flying feathered arrows.

"Bang ......"

The muffled sound of a series of arrows nailing into the trunks of the trees erupted behind him, and Sovereign felt the light in front of him dim suddenly, but soon, the fresh emerald green and the spots of light sprinkled overhead replaced the brightness under the clear sky and leaped into his sight. At the same time, a murmur rang in his ears, and Sovereign was stunned, as if someone was talking to him.

"Hell, what's that sound?" said Aemond, steering his horse through the woods. The feathered arrows flying behind him could barely pose any threat to him.

Not far from the left front, Thomas threw himself directly into the saddle, and the first thing he thought about was not his own safety at such a dangerous moment. "Elf-ling, that murmur should be elven!" exclaimed the young scholar excitedly. It was the first time he had heard Elven language with his own ears.

Behind him, a high-speed feathered arrow was lifted by Orr Kane, who was riding beside him, and flew away. "Yes, it's elven language!" the old man's beard looked a little funny as the wind blew to the sides, "to be more specific. That's a very serious warning - outsiders!"

"Uh......" Thomas's excitement froze instantly. Not only him, but also Sovereign and the others frowned tightly when they heard Orr Kane's answer. Did you just enter the Moonrise Forest and be discovered? And then? Forcibly expelled, or killed on the spot? It seems that no matter which choice, the end will not be very good.

The pursuit continued, and the distance between the Belen Iron Guard and Soveran and the others was only a few dozen yards, and the whizzing feathered arrows brought them great pressure, and even several of Soram's men had already suffered insignificant arrow wounds. What's even weirder. Whether they were pursuers or fugitives, they could clearly feel that from the moment they entered the forest, their group was stared at with death.

Getting closer and closer, Orik who rushed to the front had even seen the dawn of victory, as long as there was another volley, the opponent would definitely suffer casualties! With the sword he swung down suddenly, a puff of black light flew out of his head with a sound of breaking the air. At the same time, Aemond's heart slammed together, and his voice was hoarse. But this time, with such a close distance, is it too late to circumvent it?

At this moment, a black shadow descended from the sky with a high-pitched hiss and swept towards the feathered arrows in the air—it turned out to be a giant eagle covered with brown feathers! The giant eagle suddenly spun and brought up a fierce wind, tearing all the feathered arrows into pieces of wood in an instant.

"What is this?!" Orik was stunned by the sudden scene! But the other party's action did not end, following the galloping war horse of the guard, the giant eagle exploded in the air and scattered into a thick fog that rolled into a road, and the next moment, when the agile fog regrouped. A leopard swooped out of the mist!

The leopard leaped so fast in the rushing cavalry that every rider swept by it screamed and fell off their horses, and the speed of the whole team slowed down in an instant.

In one final blow, the leopard grabbed the shoulder armor of one of the cavalrymen and flew over Orik's head. At this moment, the chief of the guard was already furious!"Get out of here!" With a roar, the feathered arrow in Orik's hand shot out and quickly chased after the leopard who had jumped in front of the entire cavalry.

At this moment, the billowing fog reappeared, but this time it was a feather arrow flying out of it! With a crisp sound, the feather arrow flying out of the fog actually fell exactly on the cluster of feathered arrows shot by Orik, and staggered, one flew out, and the other pierced into the shoulder of the chief of the guard!

Then, another muffled murmur rang out, like the whispers of the whole forest! Suddenly, Orick and several other Belen guards who were rushing to the front rose into the air, passed the horses that had stopped for some reason, and planted them directly to the ground!

Soon, amid the neighing of war horses, the entire cavalry team stopped. Because if they don't stop, the chief of the guard who falls to the ground will only be trampled into meat sauce by the hooves of the swarming horses. Sovereign and the others also stopped, silently staring at the dense fog that had steadily fallen from the air to the ground. Everyone in the audience was stunned, silent, except for a smile on Soram's face, hidden under the hood.

The mist boiled and swirled under the astonished gaze of everyone, as if it was reconverging into a new form. Suddenly, a flash of silver appeared on the edge of the mist, and then the bright silver suddenly threw out a round of light and shadow like the moon! After that, a tall male wood elf with eyes shining like dark purple star-sand appeared.

"Stop, human, this is not the place for you to tread!" he said. (To be continued.) )>
