The Dark Elves unexpectedly launched a surprise attack on the Elves from the ground.

Because Arthur's momentary blocking of the dark elves in the forest prepared the elven warriors stationed outside the forest for the attack.

When the dark elves first rushed to the outskirts of the forest, they were attacked by a dense rain of arrows, and through the moonlight, sharp arrows accurately shot down the figures in the darkness. Because of the advantage of height and strength, the elf archer has a clear advantage over the dark elves, and the range of the dark elf shooter is obviously a big difference, and he is immediately in a passive position.

The Dark Elves' raid was a clear failure, and they quickly retreated into the forest after dropping a few hundred corpses on the outskirts of the forest. The elven warriors and elven knights who had been prepared for a long time took the opportunity to chase and kill, and chased more than 500 meters in the Dream Forest before receiving.

If you chase it deeper, you will be in danger of being ambushed by the other party and hallucinogenic gas.

Because of Arthur's early discovery, the dark elves left nearly a thousand corpses in this raid. But the other parties were not as lucky as Arthur's side, because they did not expect the dark elves to suddenly pour out of the ground in large numbers, and the other sides lost a different number of warriors under the sudden attack.

When Sino and the elven general who led the team inspected the corpses of the dark elves, they unexpectedly found that each dark elf had a pentagonal leaf covered in its nose, and the leaves emitted a strong pungent smell. It's the scent of these strange leaves that keeps the dark elves from the hallucinogenic gas of the Star Mushroom and can launch a sneak attack at night.

After several elven elders confirmed, these strange leaves were definitely not plants in the elven realm, and someone must have provided these things for the dark elves behind them.

The next day, the elven army continued to advance deep into the forest in the same way as before, but because of the sneak attack last night, the elven army advanced more cautiously, and only advanced five or six kilometers in one day.

The elven army withdrew to the barracks on the outskirts of the Dream Forest as usual the next night, and was on high alert.

Perhaps guessing that the elven army was on guard, the dark elves did not launch another sneak attack, but suddenly launched an attack on the heart of the mother tree in the underworld.

Fortunately, the Elven Queen had been prepared for this for a long time, and had hoarded a large number of high-end combat power of warriors and elders in the underground world. This is also an important reason why the Elven Queen has to seek the help of the Dwarves and Shino before, the Queen has already calculated that she may face a two-front war, so she urgently needs high-end combat power at the general level.

The attack launched by the dark elves in the underground world was even more frenzied, hitting the heart of the mother tree in waves, and the elves were under great pressure even if they had prepared in advance, and the queen even had to fly back to the elven mother tree halfway through, and personally sat in the heart of the mother tree to stabilize the situation.

The elven army on the ground immediately accelerated their search and advance to the Dream Forest after dawn, and Arthur and the others were attacked for the first time during the day.

It wasn't the dark elves who attacked them, but the black giant worms that suddenly emerged from the ground. These bugs have folded skins that are difficult to cut off, and sharp, venomous mouthparts.

Once the elves are bitten by them or stained with venom, their skin will quickly fester, fall off, and die a miserable death!

Shino knew these giant black worms called the Black Swamp Worms, which came from a place called the Forsaken Swamp in the Norman kingdom of the Terrans. The Forsaken Swamp is one of the top ten dangers on the continent, and Shino followed his companions once when he was young, and only a third of them came out alive, and only a dozen miles away.

Shino can now be sure that someone is behind the dark elves to support them, as the Black Swamp Worm has a hard time surviving after leaving that particular environment in the swamp. Someone must have brought the larvae of the Black Marsh worm out of the abandoned swamp and artificially fed them as traps in the vicinity.

The Black Swamp Worm does cause a lot of trouble for Elven warriors, as Elven bows and spears struggle to penetrate the Black Swamp's soft, wrinkled skin, and are easily wounded by its devouring mouthparts and venom in close combat.

In the end, the elven mages had to take action one after another, using various wood and earth spells to kill these black giant insects.

The elven army struggled forward while clearing these giant insects, and three miles deeper, a tall wooden house almost like a palace suddenly appeared.

The entire wooden house is made of nearby celestial wood. The wooden house was built in the shape of a palace, but it was not decorated or retouched in any way, which was completely inconsistent with the architectural aesthetics of the elves.

Shino cautiously walked into the wooden house with the elven warriors, it was incredibly empty, and there wasn't even a single table or chair.

A search of the wooden house soon revealed the mystery, and the floor in the middle of the palace was lifted to reveal a huge hole, and it turned out that the dark elves had already opened another passage to the ground.

......

Orc Temple.

The High Priest frowned at the moonlight outside the window, it had been years since there had been a headache for the wisest High Priestess of the orcs.

As the chief high priest, he can rationally guide the fate of the entire orc clan, but as an old man, he can't handle his family affairs rationally, and he can't be ruthless in the face of his beloved granddaughter.

But the high priest must make the next decision, Lingyu's bulging abdomen is almost impossible to hide, if she is allowed to give birth to a human-animal hybrid child in the temple again, the temple will be defiled in the hearts of the orcs for thousands of years, as the high priest of the temple he will never allow it.

Just then, there was a knock at the door of the outer hall.

Looking at Leon who walked in, the high priest instantly changed back to an expression of joy and anger, "It's so late, are you okay?"

Leon bowed deeply to the high priest and said directly, "I'm here to ask the high priest to marry Lingyu to me!"

The high priest was stunned, he never expected Leon to make such a request?

But the High Priest's expression quickly changed from shock to coldness, and he said coldly: "You know the principles of the Temple, we have never interfered in the battle for royal power among the major orc tribes. It's impossible for you to get the Sanctuary or myself on your side through Spirit Feather. ”

The powerful Sanctuary naturally knew Leon's identity and the feud between him and the current lion king Eliot, so the high priest instantly guessed Leon's intention.

"It's not strange that you think I want to use Spirit Feathers, and I don't completely deny it. But as the grandson of the former Lion King and the grandson of the Bloodflame Mad Lion Patriarch of the largest lion tribe in the south, it is enough for me to marry Lingyu, right? And I will never ask the Temple, the High Priest, and the Holy Spirit Crane to support me in the war between me and Eliot in the future, I only hope that the Temple can remain absolutely neutral. ”

The high priest hesitated, if he could marry Ling Yu with dignity, it was indeed the best way to resolve the current ugly situation. After hesitating for a moment, he tentatively asked, "Can you give Ling Yu love?"

Leon straightened up and replied truthfully: "Only the human race will talk about love, we orcs talk about honor and identity, just like the most beautiful woman of the Holy Spirit Crane clan usually becomes the Eagle Queen, which means honor to the Holy Spirit Crane clan." Now Lingyu can't become the Eagle Queen, but there is hope to become the new Lion Queen. Lingyu may not get love if she marries me, but I can protect her, promise to be good to her, and keep the honor of the Holy Spirit Crane clan. ”

The high priest was indeed moved, and he muttered: "This matter has to listen to Ling Yu's opinion, that child has been spoiled by me since she was a child, and if she doesn't want to, no one can do it." ”

Leon smiled lightly, "Let me do it, she'll agree." ”
