Chapter 119 Respond with blood
The first day of fighting is over. This was an unexpected situation, and although his Constructed Knight exerted great power and severely damaged the Guardian Elves' troops, Richard was trapped under the Tree of Life. This time, Lin Hai chose a smarter way, no longer directly attacking Richard's soul, but fighting by suppressing his opponent and strengthening his own side. Under such a strong forest will, the strength of all the guardian elves has increased significantly, and the full force of a high-level archer above level sixteen has the attack power of a holy domain hunter. With this kind of attack, if the Knight in Gear wants not to be injured, he has to use the power of the Savage Barrier.
It will take two days for the power of the Sacred Unicorn to recover. With its help, Richard was not afraid of the siege of the guardian elves, and was confident that he would fight his way back to the forward base. Once near the advance base, without the suppression of the will of the forest, the guardian elves will come to kill as many as they come. However, the road back to the forward base is long, and the fighting is bound to continue. There is nothing to be done with a strong knight, but many old men, women, and children in the Eternal Night Tribe cannot withstand such a journey, and they are bound to suffer heavy casualties. In addition, the migration of the Eternal Night Life Tree is also a big problem, the Life Tree during the migration process cannot provide enough shelter, and the mobility is also very problematic, and it cannot play the characteristics of the Construct Knights who come and go like the wind and invade like fire.
So Richard found that he couldn't leave unless he was willing to pay a heavy price. Plus, the lost followers don't know where now either. The only thing that made him feel a little at ease was that neither Crimson, Tiramisu, nor the mountains and the sea were fierce in the ordinary sense. Even in the depths of the forest, with the suppression of the will of the forest, it is by no means easy to kill them.
However, Richard was not prepared to leave too soon. He brought Ellie to the Green Forest, and gathered hundreds of Constructed Knights, not to show off, but to really kill people! The Guardian Elves are sparsely populated, and the strategy of destroying the living force is extremely appropriate.
Relying on the Tree of Life in the Eternal Night, Richard is ready to make the guardian elves bleed on this land.
Over the next few days, the forest unexpectedly calmed down, and apart from the occasional few cold arrows that crept in, the guardian elves didn't make a big move. But the sky was still dark and dreary, as if it had entered eternal night, and there was no more dawn. The dark sky meant that the suppression of the forest's will never faded. Every Night Elf can feel this oppression keenly, they don't feel anything abnormal when they are under the Tree of Life, but as soon as they get close to the edge of the forest, they feel a piercing chill.
All the elves of the eternal night know that entering the forest now is a dead end. Richard went even further, even removing the elven hunters who were crouching at the edge of the tree of life's canopy, and stationing them in the middle of the canopy. It's like giving up the periphery to the guardian elves. Richard's approach is like treating the Night Elves as flowers in a greenhouse, carefully cared for. However, there are also many proud warriors in the Eternal Night tribe who are not afraid of life and death, and they have asked Richard to fight several times through Mei Lin and others, but Richard has refused.
After a few days of calm, the guardian elves made a new move. They didn't know where they learned their tactics, so they sent out several loud hunters and druids and began to insult the Night Elves and Richard. And the object of insults also includes the deceased Akane. For an elf who has always been elegant, this is simply unthinkable. However, the effect of this strategy was unexpected, and all the Night Elves were boiling, clamoring for a fight to the death with the Guardian Elves.
In this case, Richard immediately no longer hesitated, but personally took two hundred knights in costume and rushed into the vast forest. At this time, the splash naturally followed Richard silently.
It was also pitch black in the forest, and I could barely see my fingers. But in the eyes of the guardian elves, the forest is full of light, and the veins on the thinnest leaves can be seen. In this environment, the eyes no longer play much of a role, and rely more on perception.
After going deep into the forest sea, he really encountered an ambush by the guardian elves. When a sharp whistle sounded through the forest, countless identical whistles began to rise and fall in the forest sea, and one by one figures leaped through the canopy of the trees, outflanking Richard's team. The ground of the forest was shaking even more, and the ancient trees were revitalized into Treants, and there were several real War Treants inside. The Nightmare Beast Cavalry of the Guardian Elves is galloping in!
Looking at the enemies who were surrounded by him, feeling the heavy pressure of the forest's will, and still echoing the scathing insults of the guardian elves in his ears, Richard slowly drew his knife, and there was molten lava surging in the depths of his eyes!
I don't know who shouted the first "Kill!", and I don't know who shed the first splash of blood, and the scuffle has broken out in the forest!
In the distance, under the Tree of Life, almost all the Elves of the Eternal Night came out of their habitat and gathered around the Tree of Life, touching their mother tree with their hands and bodies. The elves were keen, and they could feel the earth tremble slightly. The high-level hunters were able to detect the chaotic turbulence in the will of the forest. This means that a fierce battle is raging in the distance, and the war has even affected the will of the forest here.
For the sake of the Great Elder, or for the sake of the Eternal Night Tribe, or for Richard himself, it didn't matter in the minds of the Eternal Night Elves at the moment. Richard took his knight and went to the depths of the forest to fight bloodily, in response to the Guardian Elf's insult to the Great Elder. Even the Night Elves knew that there must be an ambush in the depths of the forest, so how could Richard not know? The upright riding posture of the rows is deeply imprinted on the heart of every elf.
Under the Tree of Life, Ellie is sitting by the whetstone, struggling to sharpen her sword. The blade of the sword had long been sharpened, but she was still not satisfied, and she kept grinding endlessly, as if she wanted to make this long sword the sharpest artifact in the world. Fine beads of sweat had already covered Ellie's forehead, and her short red hair was wet with sweat and clinging to her full forehead. A general walked over, he glanced at the long sword that had been sharpened over his head, and couldn't help but ask, "My lord, do you have something on your mind?"
"Nope!"
"Well......" The general wisely decided not to continue the subject, but to ask another thing that had been worrying him all along: "My lord, what shall we do if Lord Richard does not come back?"
With a squeak, the long sword in Ellie's hand suddenly twisted into a twist.
The countess's eyes were already fixed on the general, who had followed her for many years, and she said in an extremely cold voice: "How do you know that he will not come back?"
This general is also a battle-hardened general, although he is only level seventeen, if he hadn't been seriously injured a few times when he was young, he would have been a powerhouse in the Holy Domain, so no matter his personal combat strength and marching formation, he is the choice of the moment. He didn't care about Ellie's feelings, and said bluntly: "It's very simple, the will of the forest, the number of enemies and enemies, and the inevitable ambush. ”
Taken together, these three factors have the potential to wipe out Richard's entire army. Constructed Knights are not truly invincible, and even if they are numerous, they are difficult to counteract the effects of adverse circumstances.
Ellie stared at him and said word by word, "If Richard doesn't come back, then you're going to send these knights and elves to the base city." I don't care what you do, but I must send them back to me!"
The general was immediately stunned and asked, "What about you, my lord?"
With a choking sound, Ellie Jie drew a new long sword and began to sharpen it, without raising her head, and said, "I'll go to see where Richard died." ”
The general gasped and tried to say something, but found that he couldn't say a word.
Time passed minute by minute, and in the long wait, even if I felt that time passed slowly, a day and a night had passed in a trance.
Richard is still unheard. He and his knights had vanished as if they had disappeared into the forest. The Elves of the Eternal Night began to stir restlessly, for they knew that when life was swallowed up by the forest, it would die silently like this.
Another day passed.
Ellie had already worn out seven swords, and she had finally decided not to wait any longer. When Richard left, he left one hundred and fifty Lance Knights to help guard the lifetree, and handed over the responsibility of defense to Ellie. In the past, Ellie Jie has never disappointed Richard, and she is constantly expanding her territory. It was in Norland, not in some unnamed secondary plane! But this time, Alyselle felt that she was going to disappoint Richard for once.
The red-haired goddess of war was neatly draped and turned over on the war horse. Under her stern reprimand, all the generals and costumed knights stood in place, bewildered. The Night Elves had packed their bags and placed them on the backs of the Moxie and the Nightmare Beasts. The Tree of Eternal Night Life is swaying its branches and leaves, as if it is saying its final goodbye to this land that has taken root for hundreds of years. When the trumpet sounds, the tree of life shakes its massive body, pulls out its deep roots, and embarks on a long journey of migration. It's just that this road is by no means easy to walk, and I don't know how many people will be able to return to the base city alive.
Ellie had ridden out into the forest. However, at this moment, the black mist that swirled around the edge of the forest suddenly cracked, and a hideous demon knight jumped out of the black mist and landed on the green space in the forest. This is the Demon Rider, its head bowed, its hooves uneasily scraping the grass, its nose and its rib breath constantly spewing white mist. From time to time, large drops of dark liquid dripped from its body, which looked like blood.
Looking at the person on the back of the magic horseman, Ellie finally shouted, "Richard!!"
The back of the magic rider is indeed Richard, he has a charming smile, and his back is always so straight. Even though his face was pale, the wound that went straight from the side of his ear to his chest was still bleeding, and it was difficult to hide his edge.
So everyone knew that this battle was finally won.
