At dusk, the battlefield was completely cleared. It was a perfect victory, as the Warrior Elves annihilated twice as many enemies as they were, without suffering any losses themselves. But to tell the truth, at this time the hearts of every warrior were heavy, and there was no joy at all that the victor deserved.

Valinor sat on a rock, Ashrufat, Dinethor, and Swiftwind by his side. An unspeakable silence enveloped them, everyone knew what to say, but everyone didn't know how to speak.

After last night's bad remedy, Carrie and Ashruphat now have an idea of the situation of the nearby elves. Ereb was a trading center for elves and humans, and as a port of commerce, the city was naturally located in the rear, far from the front line. In the long-term tug-of-war, the city of Ereb and the land where it is located provided a steady stream of logistical supplies for the elven troops on the front line, and it also formed an important support point on the elven strategic defense line. With Ereb as a relay point and supply depot, the navy of the Warrior Elves formed a complete garrison, making it impossible for the Dark Elves to use the navy to make long detours and attack the rear of the Warrior Elves.

Prince Berlan is the ruler of this land. With his courage, intelligence, and power, he has always been an important general among the Shenwu Elves, and is known for his expertise in naval warfare. If he dies, it means that the elven army in this land will be left leaderless, giving the dark elf side the upper hand.

"I want to ask, this time, what are our evil cousins invading for?Is there something wrong with our navy?" Unless the navy suffers a crushing defeat in a naval battle, it is impossible for the Dark Elves to transport an army to the enemy's rear. Because such a risk is too great, once the transport fleet encounters a battleship, it is equivalent to sending them to death.

"Not really. Valinor finally spoke. "It's been much worse than expected...... All this time, our evil cousins have been kept out of our defenses...... But this time, they didn't know what they were doing, so they activated an ancient portal. ”

"Portal......" Ashruphat instinctively arrived badly. His original goal was to find a portal in the Dark Elf's territory and retrieve a part of a portal......

"Well, a portal. Based on our limited information, it appears that on top of our evil cousin's territory, there is a portal built by an unknown ancient force. The other portal corresponding to this portal is in Ulthuan, but it has always been treated as a ruin, and we never thought they could be activated. "The addition is Swift Wind. "Our evil cousin somehow opened a portal and traveled directly to Ulthuan from another continent. And so suddenly, their army appeared in the rear of our line! It was for this reason that my original homeland was completely isolated by the enemy, and we had to abandon it and retreat as refugees to Irepa. ”

"What kind of portal is that...... "The sense of foreboding in Ashrufat's heart grew stronger. "Where?"

"The portal in Ussuan is right in the middle of our land, behind our original line of defense. As for our evil cousin's side, I don't know, but I think it's somewhere in the middle of nowhere. Swiftwind replied. He noticed Ashrufat's expression, but misunderstood what he meant.

"Ashrufat, if you want to destroy the portal, then give up. You are powerful, but that is impossible, and our evil cousins are doing whatever it takes to protect it. ”

"So what is the situation now...... How's that?"

"The Phoenix King, led by our army, has finally succeeded in limiting this invasion of our evil cousins to a smaller extent. But before we could react, they had already seized all the vantage points, and there was no way for the Phoenix King and our generals to drive them back to the portal. The war turned into a long confrontation. ”

"I see...... In other words, in this situation, we have gathered all the forces we can on the front line, and our evil cousins still have a lot of spare strength to call on. Ashrufat quickly understood the whole situation of the war. "However, although they have spare strength, they should not be able to enter the war......"

"I don't know. Valinor said. "But they must have found some way to bypass our defenses......"

"I'm sure it's not a big loophole," Ashruphat pondered for a moment. "It is clear that they are not coming around with a large number of troops...... It can only be used to harass our rear and force our front-line troops to come back to help. If this hole is very large, they will directly send a large army to attack in front and back to break our defense. ”

"These things are too far away for us to judge. I care about what the dark elf said earlier...... Could it be that Prince Bellan is really...... Murdered?" Valinor's voice was soft, perhaps even he was afraid of what he said.

"We have to get back to Irebo as quickly as possible. "This time it was Dinether who spoke. "If that damn guy is telling the truth, now ...... Ereber could be in chaos, and our wicked cousins are waiting outside the city for this opportunity!"

Dinethor looked at Valinor, who nodded heavily but firmly.

"Swiftwind, I'm sorry I didn't have time to go back and celebrate with you. Valinor said. "We must leave for Ereb at once. Ashrufat, would you like to go back with us?"

"Oh, yes. Ashrufat replied. But in fact, he didn't pay attention to it at all, and in his mind, the matter of the portal just now really lingered.

"Master, your concerns are very likely. In her mind, Carrie said. "The ancient portal we're going to may be the one being used by the dark elves. ”

"Didn't you say the portal was out of action?"

"But it could also be fixed. Carrie replied. "I'm sure the dark elves don't have such skills, but sometimes nothing is perfect. Maybe a component that's already broken down suddenly runs again, or maybe a change in temperature makes some of the sockets that were loose tighter again. In short, these are all possible. ”

"If this is true...... So what should I do?" asked Ashrufat, anxious.

"I strongly advise you not to try to go to that portal alone. A viable option would be...... Find a way to organize an army of Divine Warrior Elves and drive the Dark Elves back. ”

"Assemble an army of elves?" said Ashruphat thought Carrie was a bit whimsical. It is possible to organize a green-skinned army, because after all, the greenskins only obey the boss who can fight, as long as they keep winning battles, the greenskins full of pits and valleys will naturally defect and quickly form a large army. But want to command an elven army...... There is no doubt that the elven officers are all promoted and appointed, not like the greenskins who make themselves bosses. If you want to become an elven general, you should start as a soldier and climb up the ladder step by step with your combat exploits...... But even if he has the patience and this opportunity, when he really becomes the commander, the daylily will be cold.

Mimilu can't afford to wait too long.

"Ashrufat, Ashrufat?" Dinethor poked Ashrufat hard before he came back to his senses from his musings. Because he was talking to Carrie and thinking about his thoughts at the same time, Ashrufat didn't listen to what the others were saying at all.

"Ah, Dinethor, what's wrong?"

"Why do you look absent-minded?" said Dinethor. "Just now Xunfeng said that they are willing to go with us, or rather, they are willing to go with you. ”

"Me?" Ashrufat was stunned for a moment.

"They said they didn't have to go back because the enemy had been wiped out and it didn't matter if they didn't go back or not. The Warriors of the Shadows are willing to come with us to Iriber...... Help us as much as you can. ”

At this time, Swift Wind had already left, so Ashrufat asked Dinether beside him in confusion. "What are they doing to me? They want me to lead them?"

"They think you're a prince. Dinethor replied, observing every subtle expression of Ashruphat as he spoke. But Ashrufat had already learned to hide all his emotions behind his face, so Dinether tried to try, but to no avail.

"Am I like a prince?" replied Ashrufat with an indifferent expression.

"By my point, it's very similar. Dinether replied. As he said this, he noticed that Ashruphat hesitated for a moment, and then fell silent.

"Are we going to travel overnight?" it took a while for Ashrufat to finally speak, but he changed the subject. "A quick march?"

"No, it's not appropriate. Valinor replied. "If only I hadn't let the boat go...... If we travel by land, it means that we are likely to encounter the enemy on the road. We have to keep our stamina. ”

"How much more do we have left?"

"Five days' worth of dry food is enough for us to go. Valinor said. "In any case, we have to go back as soon as possible. I really hope that guy is lying to us. ”

That being said, Ashruphat could also understand that in that case, the Dark Elves were far more likely to tell the truth than to lie.

"Prince Berlan, there should be an heir, right?" Ashrufat remembered Kosbodi's introduction earlier. If he hadn't lied, then the prince he had seen at the docks at the time would have been Prince Berlan himself or his son. "They can take over the command......"

"As I set out on this usual cruise, Prince Bellan and his sons received a letter from the King of the Phoenix and went to the front with a convoy. Valinor's expression became even more gloomy, "If what that guy said is true, then the prince must have been ambushed by the enemy halfway through...... I'm afraid there is no ruler in Iribo now. ”
