Chapter 27: Twilight of the Legend
The dragon eagle is a strange species that sits somewhere between a living entity and a magical being.
It is said that they were born after the High Elves settled in the Eternal Song Forest and created the Sun Well, just like the Mana Floating Dragon.
Barrage is interested in this question, but Salian is not a historian and has not had the time to delve into the origins of the dragon eagle.
In terms of practicality, this creature unique to the Forest of Eternal Song does possess certain magical properties, spewing flames like a dragon.
Of course, the flame of the dragon eagle is completely different from the power of the dragon's breath, and the analogy is like the difference between a river and the sea.
Sarean didn't expect much damage from the dragon eagle's flame breath to inflict much damage on the enemy, his purpose was only to harass.
From the air, you can see the situation at the ambush site very intuitively.
Defenseless, the Ranger team led by Riresa was taken by surprise.
In one photo, 2 rangers were slashed by a male and a female Juggernaut, and 1 was pushed to the ground and bitten by a deformed troll that was several laps larger than ordinary trolls.
In order to cultivate the ferocity of his people, Zurgin deliberately kept the Amani trolls under his command in the bad habit of cannibalism.
The downed ranger was out of breath in the blink of an eye, his body still being relentlessly gnawed at by the giant troll.
The rangers brought out by Riresa were all battle-hardened elites, and they were not frightened by the cannibalistic scene of the trolls.
But seeing their comrades-in-arms who get along day and night being eaten by the enemy, it is impossible for them to have no psychological fluctuations.
At this time, Riresa was firmly entangled by an orc swordmaster with a white beard, and behind her was a forest troll with feathers on his arms and daggers in both hands.
When Sarren burst into battle, Riresa was completely unable to escape, and the ill-prepared rangers were defeated by the troll elite.
"It's not good, how can these guys find out about my whereabouts?"
While using the Ranger's twin blades to slash the white-haired Swordmaster's sword, Riresa recalled in her mind if something had gone wrong.
The most important thing in guerrilla warfare is to keep the guerrilla routes unblocked.
For this reason, Liresa also sent a few rangers to explore the path before setting off, and they did not notice anything unusual at that time.
'Bad luck and just bumped into it?' But it doesn't look like they're so prepared, don't you ......'
Although she didn't want to suspect her subordinates, in the current situation, Riresa immediately thought that someone in the ranger army might have betrayed her whereabouts.
Riresa guessed right, but not quite.
Due to the obstruction of Sarean and Winresa and others, the traitors who secretly reported Riresa's whereabouts were not able to convey the news to the tribe.
The success of this ambush was really just a coincidence.
Reality is not fiction, and plausibility needs to be considered, and some bizarre events that happen in the real world tend to be more bizarre than fiction.
The dragon eagle let out a crisp chirp during the dive, and the flames falling from the sky scared the Dahl Triple Blood Blade who was actively attacking, and he subconsciously thought that the red dragon controlled by the tribe had rebelled.
Dahl rolled on the spot to avoid the dragon eagle's breath, and the birdman troll holding the dagger stomped his feet in anger: "What are you hiding! The power of the dragon eagle's breath can't break through the fireproof sorcery I have blessed you! Keep attacking! β
In the high-end battle situation, it is changing rapidly, and a change in one detail may affect the overall situation.
Dahl's momentary avoidance allowed the embarrassed Riresa to find her rhythm.
The long legs under the leather shorts suddenly exerted force, and Liresa jumped into the air on the spot with a backflip.
The birdman troll hadn't even seen Riresa's movements before the twin knives in her hands had switched to a long bow.
"Whoosh!"
In mid-air, Liresa shot the arrow in his hand with his head down, and the birdman troll did his best to dodge, but the sudden arrow still pierced the left upper arm.
"Ahh
This birdman-like troll is named Ekilsson, and is the priest of Loa the Eagle, Amani.
Like Harraz, in order to defeat the High Elves and reclaim the territory and glory that belonged to the forest trolls, Ekirsson sacrificed his own worship of the god Loa, claiming its power for himself.
Riresa knew no less about the Amani trolls than they did about themselves, and Ekilsson had the ability to transform into an eagle, and removing his hand early could block his ability to fly for a while.
"This reckless man!"
Valeera, who was half a beat slower, cursed and dived down after Sarjan.
A surprise attack with a strange move can be successful, and it is uncomfortable to use the same move again in the same battle, and the enemy will definitely be on guard.
Valera did not let the dragon eagle she was riding burst into the battlefield, and when she was still more than 20 meters above the land, she jumped off the back of the dragon eagle in advance, and the person started to sneak into the shadows in mid-air.
After landing steadily on the tree several times in succession, the next time she appeared, Valera was already behind a troll soldier who was busy attacking the Ranger formation.
"Whew!"
The dagger with the quick-acting poison took advantage of it and stabbed the troll in the heart from behind.
Pulling out the bloody dagger, Valeera didn't stop, and as soon as she scurried back, she began to stealth again.
Unlike warriors who excel in frontal combat, Valeera excels in stealth assassination, and her battlefield is not in the light, but in the dark shadows.
Rolling over from the ground, Dahl realized that his error in judgment had allowed Riressa to escape the lore circle, much to his chagrin.
"I'm still old......
The arrow has to be sent on the string, and the matter has come to this point, and it can only be attacked head-on.
Let the elite soldiers of the forest trolls entangle the rangers of Riresa, and Dahl, Lanteriso, Azuka, and Ekilsson form a four-cornered formation to surround Riressa.
An old legend with three elites, Liressa, who was at the peak of his prime, did not dare to relax in the slightest.
After hitting Ekirsson to the ground, she pulled her bowstring to the full, scanning the movements of the four with the wide-area perspective of Eagle Eye, adjusting her position at any time with small steps.
It was only these two little ones who came to reinforce ...... I'm afraid it's more auspicious. β
Although she has not had much contact with her, she also lives in the southern part of the forest, and of course she knows two of the most influential people in the past, Salian and Valeera.
She already had a premonition of her fate, but Riresa had no intention of giving up resistance.
The people of the Windranger family never knew what it meant to be tied up, and even if they died, they had to die worthwhile, at least pulling a few enemies to bury themselves.
"Whoosh!"
Taking advantage of Dahl's unconscious distraction, Riresa seized the opportunity to shoot three arrows at the same time.
A moment of loss of consciousness is very fatal in a high-end battle, but fortunately, many years of experience in the battle saved Dahl's life.
While subconsciously sensing the threat, Dahl did not think about it, following his body's instinct to lean back on the iron bridge, watching the two arrows almost close together in front of him pass in front of him.
"Two?!"
Suddenly realizing that something was wrong, Dahl, who turned over and bounced, immediately looked in the direction where the third arrow was flying.
"Whew!"
Ekilson, who was already injured, was blinded by Liressa's trick again, and his recovering left hand was severely injured in the upper arm, and the two wounds were almost at the same point, which was obviously deliberate.
The wound that had begun to scab over was once again brutally torn, and the wound was larger than before, even with the troll's recovery ability, it was not expected to heal in a short time.
"Damn! Despicable High Elves! β
Staying on such a high-end battlefield would only become a gap for the enemy to break through, and Ekirsson could only grit his teeth and withdraw from the battle circle.
Ekirsson, who was holding his left hand, was very unwilling, and he was persuaded to retreat by two arrows before he could make any performance on the battlefield.
Dahl felt a little remorseful in his heart, after all, Ekilsson was injured because of his distraction.
"Ally, you go and deal with those two juniors who are spoiling the situation first, and we will deal with it here."
There was a palpable look of displeasure on Ekilsson's face.
Unlike the Fireblade Clan, who didn't know anything, he had already heard from the heralds that Gul'dan and the Dragonmaw Clan had withdrawn, leaving the forest trolls as allies in a dilemma in the Eternal Song Forest.
The last shred of Ekilsson's affection for the orcs was gone, and if it weren't for their help in killing the Ranger General, he would have torn his face with the old guy who had half his foot in the coffin.
"Tsk! You must take her. β
Dahl nodded solemnly, slashing his weather-beaten sword across his chest, a look of determination in his scarlet eyes.
'Attention is falling out, is my destiny coming?' β
'I would rather die in a glorious battle than die in my bed!' β
Taking a deep breath, Dahl barely mustered his spirits and raised his sword high to shout the most traditional warcry of orcs.
βLokβogarοΌ For the sake of the clan! For the Horde! β
