In a place called Horin, the elves were stopped by the army led by Heim.

There is a gentle hill surrounded by fields of low green grass and beautiful flowers. A few lonely stones lay in the green meadow, polished smooth by the wind and sun, and a group of rabbits dug a nest under the stones and hid there.

The humans occupied the hill, the cavalry took formation, the crossbowmen followed, and the soldiers armed with spears and shields covered the flanks. More than a dozen small trebuchets were mounted on carts, and their ammunition consisted of nets wrapped around thistles and canisters filled with fire oil or lime powder.

Nearly two thousand elves took up a piece of land under the hill and formed a similar formation. They only had five ancient war trees left, but other than that, they were still in good spirits. Elven warriors wield long, narrow shields like blades and wield moon-arc scimitars, while rangers wield bows and arrows, ready to fire.

Manna rode out on her horse and came to the center of the battlefield alone, and the elf Leah came to meet her on a horse. Leah's wounds from Siegel's electric shock have healed and she is back to her best - at least not on the outside.

"See you again, Lady Leah. Manna greeted first, with a relaxed smile on her face. "Your intentions have been discerned. We have gained the upper hand by waiting for work. ”

"Siegel is really not easy to deceive. Elf Leah smiled as well, looking relaxed. She said, "Our spellcaster tried to tempt and mislead several times, but it didn't work, and you stopped it. However, the advantages and disadvantages are not so pretty, and the victory or defeat on the battlefield is never determined by the mouth. ”

"No!" Siegel's voice rang out abruptly. Then he slowly emerged riding a phantom pony. "Sometimes it's a matter of lip and tooth. ”

There was a commotion among the elven armies. Leah's guards try to rush up to protect her. But Elf Leah waved her hand back. Calm her army for a while.

"Since you're here, why do you approach invisibly?" Leah said with mixed feelings as she looked at Siegel, "Do you think I won't talk to you if you come out at the beginning?"

"I'm afraid you'll beat me up for what happened before, and I'll be too embarrassed. It's better to observe how you feel before making a decision. Siegel scratched his head and said to the elf, "Master Leah, I can get close to you invisibly without being detected, you know what that means." ”

"Will you still be an assassin?"

Siegel shook his head. He said to her, "This shows that the casters behind you have a flaw in detecting invisibility, and I can continue to use this flaw to strike at you." Unless you come up with a way to break through the magic circle of Myr City now, or hide in the Elven Forest, I will be able to wipe out the opposing army sooner or later. ”

"No, I don't think so. Leah replied, "I know your character, Siegel. You will sneak attack, but you will never be an assassin. You're proud of your mind and martial arts, so you'll never betray your character, will you?"

"It's hard to say. Siegel shook his head: "The war has been going on for so long. I'm already bored and will probably do whatever it takes. But Manna persuaded me. It allows me to be sensible about this. So, Master Leah, while my sanity is not gone, can I talk about your surrender?"

"The elves will never surrender. Leah replied, "There's nothing to talk about. ”

"Then let's go back to our respective camps, and then swing our horses and fight a big battle?" Siegel waved his hand, and an illusion picture appeared in the middle of the three of them, showing the battlefield with vivid images.

"I really didn't expect your magic talent to be so good. Leah applauded.

In the illusion, Heim's cavalry burst into both flanks at the beginning of the battle, giving up the front of the battlefield to crossbowmen and shieldmen. Trebuchets fired constantly, covering the advance of the infantry. In the face of the plasma crossbow, although the Ancient Tree of War has the advantage of range, it cannot determine the direction of the battle.

The entire battle will be based on the range of the plasma repeater, beyond which the elven archers have the advantage, and within which humans have the upper hand. "Because there are so many things that are unpredictable, I didn't show the effect of magic on the outcome of the battle. "From the battlefield itself, it's a close contest," Siegel said. But there are a few things that need to be taken into account outside the battlefield. ”

"We have reinforcements, and we don't have any reserves, which is good for us both in terms of total strength and time. Siegel said, "And you have to rush back to the Elven Forest, how long can you delay here......?"

Before Siegel could finish speaking, Leah interrupted him and said, "Siegel, you can accurately predict our actions, know that we are going to rush back to the Elven Forest, and successfully stop it here, did someone leak information to you?"

Siegel shook his head: "No, everything was deduced by me, why do you ask?"

"You have nothing to do with those black-clad humans?"

"Nothing but hatred!" Siegel gritted his teeth and clenched his fists: "I can't wait to pull them out one by one, twist their necks with my own hands, and kill them all!"

"Then why did you send the mage of the territory into the Elven Forest and happen to appear at the scene of the attack?"

"I asked Edith to take Janet to the Elven Forest to find the druid to perform the reincarnation technique. The man in black interrupted the spell ritual, and I ended up receiving only Janet's cold corpse. Siegel said, "I'm going to go to the Elven Forest no matter what, and nothing can stop me." ”

"Janet ...... too" Leah frowned and looked at Siegel with a puzzled expression: "It turns out that my father cast a spell to save her." ”

"Your father?" Siegel also sensed that something was wrong. "One of the three druids performing the ritual is your father, and how is he?"

"It's already back to the Elven Tree. Leah held back her grief and didn't let the tears flow, but her voice still trembled. "We were ordered to go back to the Elven Forest to help defend and avenge the death of our loved ones, and we don't have time to fight with you. Get out of the way, as you said, nothing can stop us. ”

Siegel was about to speak, when he suddenly felt something in his heart. He saw a trebuchet shoot boulders from Heim's array, which would hit him exactly five seconds later. He jerked his head back, and the boulder had already flown into the sky, and the "buzzing" sound of the launch had just been heard.

Siegel immediately activated the Rainbow Orb Ring, enveloping all three of them. The stone bullet slammed into the shield, shattered on the shield, and was completely disintegrated by the powerful magical energy. Siegel then lifted the shield, leaving the three unscathed.

"Mana, go and straighten out the army and find the traitor. I can't fight today, even if the elves attack, give me a retreat!" Siegel said: "Someone wants to stir up a dispute!"

There was also a commotion among the elven troops. An ancient tree of war suddenly raised its hand and slammed it down. The smoke cleared, and in the shallow pit full of blood and minced flesh, a black dress stood out.

Elf Leah gave a loud order, asking the elf to stand by and not to move forward. Let the mages immediately search for magic fluctuations, and the priests pray to the moon god and use their divine powers to distinguish friend from foe.

The generals of both sides stood in the middle of the battlefield, waiting for the two armies to calm down.

Both Leah and Siegel's troops were well-trained, and they both took about the same amount of time to regroup. Elf Lea looked at Siegel calmly, trying to think of a solution to her current predicament.

Siegel had already prepared for it, so he spoke: "Even if we don't fight today, with the withdrawal of your elves, you have effectively lost the occupation of the Heim Territory, and this territory will return to us humans anyway. Do you agree with that?"

Leah nodded, it was an irrefutable fact. Although there were other elven forces in the southern part of the New World, the total strength of those troops was only about 4,000, which was about the same as the army besieging the city of Mir in its heyday. Having survived even the most difficult times, there was no reason why Siegel couldn't hold on to the Heim Territory.

"My idea is that you elves have left more than five hundred hostages in Heim, and I will set aside a place to settle them and ensure their livelihood. I will promise not to let the army led by Heim leave the border and go to trouble your elves. On this basis, the Elven Forest and I, the Heim Territory, conclude a truce, and then see how to deal with the Men in Black. ”

"Elves don't take hostages, you won't do that. Leah replied.

"I'm going to the Elven Forest to investigate the Men in Black. If the Heim Territory doesn't have elves as hostages, my knights won't be reassured. "It's been four days since the Man in Black happened, and the longer it drags on, the fewer clues can be found," Siegel said. If you can't agree, even if it's a spell to sneak in or kill it, I'm going to go. ”

Leah lowered her head and pondered for a moment before replying, "If it weren't for the surrender and a truce, if you were to exchange five hundred elven warriors, then there would still be a chance of an agreement. I'll need to consult with the Luna Priest, the Druid, and the Mage before I can give you a formal answer. ”

"Okay, I can wait for you guys for a while, but don't delay too long. Siegel smiled, "I won't always show mercy, Master Leah. ”

The elf snorted coldly, "Me too!"

The two split up and returned to their own army. Siegel saw Hum come up with his orc twin brother carrying a human he had never seen before. He was not dressed in black, but his pale complexion was not unfamiliar.

"My lord, if you catch it, it's he who launched the trebuchet. Hum pinned the man to the ground and kicked him in the thigh, knocking him to his knees. "The rest of the same trebuchet was also controlled, but it looked like he was doing it alone. ”

"It was a good shot. Siegel used his spiritual vision to observe the current captives. No magic fluctuations could be seen from the man, but as Edith had said, there were signs of the coming of the Holy Power on the man. He doesn't look like a pastor by any means, but believers can't be wrong. (To be continued.) )
