Section 222 The First Ambergris War (27)

Donna and Burkitt's rebellion, Patricia being devastated, and the dragons' defeat once again shocked the Elven Court.

Originally, after experiencing the battle of Mochizuki City, the Elven Royal Court had already put away its contempt, so it did not fight back again, but let the elven rebels everywhere resist on their own, and on the other hand, they planned to unite the forces of other allies.

Unexpectedly, although the dragons were convinced, they were completely unwilling to accept the command of the High Elves, and they began to take the initiative to attack, although they once succeeded in attacking the fleets of Asturias and Titania at sea, so that the other party could no longer harass the elven territory of the coastline. But the High Elves are calling their people to gather, and they are expecting the Treants to come out of the ancient forest and fight alongside them, and it will take time.

However, in this short period of time, the elves' plans were overturned, first by the betrayal of the Centaur tribe and the elimination of the tribes close to the high-level elites, and then by the dragons who were also confronted and plotted.

After the Dragons, their strongest and most mobile allies, were battered, the elves found it more difficult to fight back aggressively.

And the enemy didn't give them more time to react, and Asturias finally moved after the dragons retreated.

A large number of Asturian soldiers, including the servant army that had retreated back in the early stage, formed a torrent and set off, targeting the land of Shangri-La, where the elven court is located, and where the Palace of Fontainebleau is located.

The soldiers of Asturias followed a planned route from Mochizuki City to the land of Shangri-La.

When the High Elves discovered this, the elven guerrillas along the way attacked, but this could not stop the advance of the army. And since the army of Asturias has moved. Of course, we are prepared. The strong men were sent to scout and guide in the dark, and the guerrillas of the High Elves suffered a lot of losses.

The Elven Court did not bother to wait for the Surrounding Mountains of Trees to arrive, and this time Altanis appointed Oliver as the commander of the campaign, with Calanhill as his deputy, to lead the army of the High Elves gathered again to the River of Awakening to defend against the enemy.

The River of Awakening is a long river in the Emerald Continent, almost dividing the east and west, and originating from the northwest. into the southeast.

Oliver and the others are heading to the middle of the river to the west, and the elves intend to use the river's environment to deter the enemy.

Due to the influence of the river, the Asturian advance army stopped on the other side of the Awakening River, but soon launched a campaign to cross the river.

Of course, the High Elves tried their best to defend themselves, but they soon found that the number of Asturias and its servant army was numbing, especially the Servant Army, and although the High Elves had gathered their people again, the enemies they had to face were actually drawn from many planes.

Especially after the dragons were severely damaged, the High Elves' long-range running power was greatly limited, and it was difficult to run behind the enemy. If you want to attack the enemy's rear, you can only rely on group flight. But after the spell effect is gone, it is almost impossible for the elven commandos who flew past to come back alive.

It wasn't until the Tree People of the Blue Mountains arrived that the situation improved slightly, and they reluctantly destroyed the bridgehead built by the enemy after forcibly crossing the River of Awakening for the first time.

The Treants of the Blue Mountains have brought with them precious seeds of the Sea of Trees to be planted on the west bank of the River of Awakening, the most precious seeds preserved by the Treants, and if the Sea of Trees is devastated, these species are hope.

Because these trees can not only produce trees, but there is also a very high possibility that tree people will be born in them.

But now, in order to defend against the enemy, it is impossible to quickly establish a position west of the Awakening River, and only with the help of the Sea of Trees Seed, with the help of the Tree Man and the Druid, the growth rate of these tree species can be dozens of times the normal one, and it is a large-scale growth, and it only takes two months to form a forest.

The land of Shangri-La, the Château de Fontainebleau.

This is the royal capital of the High Elves, the sacred place where the Temple of the Sun and the Temple of the Moon is located, surrounded by the Blue Mountains with a sea of trees, and further west is the famous Surrounding Mountain, where also inhabited by tree people.

Altanise's brow furrowed, although Oliver and Caranhill had gone with the elven kings to fight the enemy, the situation was not ideal.

Following the first river crossing, Asturias launched two more river crossings, and the two sides fought on the River of Awakening.

Because this is an inland river, and the fleet of Asturias has been attacked by dragons before, it is very badly damaged, and there is no way to drive in to help in the battle, so it can only take a pontoon bridge, a boat crossing, or fly over.

In this case, it is necessary to gain the upper hand in the battle between the strong in order to cover the river crossing.

After the previous war, the High Elves are tasting the bitter fruit, originally they plus the Dragon Clan, they will only have the upper hand in the legendary-level battle, and will not be at a disadvantage, even if the countries can gather some legendary powerhouses from the Jade Continent.

But now in the battle of the legendary level, the strength and weakness have been reversed, and fortunately, the Treants have come to help balance the situation, but the Treants cannot rise to the air to fight like other strong people.

As a result, the Battle of the River of Awakening was in a strange stalemate, with Asturian soldiers able to force their way across the river but unable to truly stand their ground.

And other related situations on both sides are also constantly changing, Aurora, Titania and other countries saw that Asturias's direct attack on the Yellow Dragon was effective, and they also began to stop expanding their territory, squeezing out troops to gather in the River of Awakening to support the battle, and in the following time, the pressure on the High Elves will only increase.

The Centaurs also looted and occupied the territory in the wilderness, and they did not dare to compete with the multinational coalition for more cities, unless the other party took the initiative to invite them, but as long as resources were found in the wilderness, they could also trade with other countries in the future.

On the elven side, the elven guerrillas in the occupied area are moving closer to the River of Awakening while fighting the Centaurs.

And on the west bank of the Awakening River, the High Elves also stubbornly resisted, and the longer the time, the more lush the sea of trees here will become, and eventually it will form a position that the tree people and the High Elves like.

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much, the longer you delay the enemy in the River of Awakening, the better it will be for us. "It was Jessica, the priest of the Temple of the Moon, who had not yet traveled with the army to the River of Awakening, and remained in the Land of Shangri-La.

"No, I have a hunch that it is we who may lose in the end just by resisting now. Altanis shook her head, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Jessica, I also invited High Priest Celestius to come over. ”

"High Priest of Hilesbi?" Jessica said in surprise, now there are only three legends in the Holy Land Shangri-La, Altanis, Jessica, and Celesbi, and the other powerhouses have already rushed to the River of Awakening.

The Temple of the Sun and the Temple of the Moon originally had four legendary priests each, but until now, two of them have been lost, and the Moon Temple has even lost Celine, the chief priest, and Jessica will be the next chief priest of the Moon Temple, but due to the war, she has not had time to hold the secular ceremonies approved by Altanis, but she is already the highest in the Moon Temple.

"Your Majesty, do you want to?" Jessica thought of Altanis's attitude towards the war just now, and couldn't help but think of a possibility, and couldn't help but be surprised.

Altanis sighed, her brow furrowed wider, but her tone was firm.

She nodded slightly, "I will personally go to fight the invaders." ”

"Your Majesty. Jessica heard the perseverance in her words, but still persuaded: "There are already trees on the west bank of the Awakening River, and we will definitely be able to hold on, as long as we defeat the enemy this time, and then unite the elven rebels everywhere, the final victory will definitely be ours." ”

"Yes, the final victory must be ours. Altanis smiled, her brow furrowed a little.

"However, the reason why I invited you and High Priest Celestial to come here is not only to tell you that I plan to go to the River of Awakening, but also to hope that the Temple of the Sun and the Temple of the Moon will cooperate with me in awakening the Ancestral God. ”

"Awaken the Ancestral God?" Jessica said in shock.

For the High Elves, the ancestral god of course refers to Sindorem, the god of the sun, and Diana, the god of the moon, and does not include the one who has become the queen of the dark spider.

Jessica had to be shocked, if it came to the point of awakening the two ancestral gods, it showed that Altanis was extremely unoptimistic about the resistance of the High Elves in the River of Awakening.

The two gods of the High Elves are the original elves, and they are also the primordial gods favored by the will of the original plane order, so they have one of the biggest advantages over the native gods who rely on faith to become gods is that they are the least affected by the plane order, and they have no sense of rejection at first.

There is basically no Holy Spirit in the Kingdom of the Sun God and the Moon God, and if the Holy Spirit is generated, it will increase the gap between them and the will of the plane order, because in essence, the rules of the God's kingdom, the birth of the Holy Spirit is to cut off the death of living beings and return to the torrent of plane order.

But as the original gods, the god of the sun and the moon, and the goddess of life before the fall, Ivy could have manifested directly to the material plane, and if they were mortally injured, they would not really die, and when faith was not involved, they could have been reborn in the will of the plane order before, but it took a certain amount of time to be reborn;

Unlike other gods who believe in gods, they will be rejected and blocked by the plane order.

However, since the affair of the sun god Sindorem, the husband and wife turned against each other, and caused the plane order to reject Ivy, but Ivy's crazy counterattack also caused a lot of damage to Sindorem and Diana, so they returned to the kingdom of God all year round to sleep and recover.

Now Altanis is planning to awaken the sun god and the moon god in advance, which means that she thinks that the High Elves have reached a very critical moment, because the two gods are the last means that the High Elves can rely on.

"Your Majesty, has it really come to this?" asked Jessica.

Altanis nodded, "I think so, Priest Jessica." (To be continued.) )
