Chapter 706: Dispel the illusion
The huge flying machine flew in the air for three whole days in a row, and it was not until the early morning of the fourth day that the coalition finally saw the temporary earthen fort built by the wood elves not far ahead.
It's really unlucky to say, although Henry said that he had calculated a good thing, but he never expected to encounter a strong headwind on the way back, and the road that originally only took less than a day was tossed alive for three days, and he had to constantly adjust the direction according to the direction of the wind, otherwise he would not necessarily be blown away.
The biggest flaw of the airship finally manifested itself during this flight. The overly huge airbag has too poor wind resistance, and the most important thing is that he doesn't dare to use spells to change the direction of the wind, because the airbag is no better than a wooden sailboat, it is too fragile, and the slightest mistake will be cut by an air blade sharper than a knife, followed by a fall from a height of thousands of meters, except for the mage with the ability to fly, everyone else will be smashed into pulp.
Obviously, as long as he was not completely insane, Henry could not make such a desperate move, and he had to endure it forcibly, and finally managed to reach his destination, after all, even if the speed of the airship against the wind was much slower than walking or sea.
You must know that it will take at least six days to take a boat from Ascatra to Moulin, and then walk to the elven camp, and as for walking, don't think about it, you can't get there without ten days. The march of a large army is not the same as the day and night journey of an adventurer, who is physically good enough and can even be faster than the speed of a ship.
But if the former does this, then not only will they have to bear the danger of attrition halfway, but even if they barely arrive, they may not be able to enter the battle for a long time.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the camp, Henry breathed a sigh of relief and said to Borken, who was standing beside him, "Notify the Giant immediately that it has begun to descend." Control the altitude between 100 and 50 meters. Then lower the ladder. Let these elves hurry up. We have no time to waste and must reach Sodenisra as fast as possible. β
"Understood, I'll arrange it." Borken didn't say a word, just owed and turned to leave.
Since learning about Henry's true strength now, his attitude has suddenly become a lot more respectful, and he no longer wants to put himself in a relatively equal position like before.
This change in identity stems from the huge disparity in the cast level between the two, as an Arcanist from the days of Nessreel. Borken understands the gap between himself and the genius better than anyone, so he doesn't mind serving a young man who is countless times stronger than himself.
However, since Henry is now full of thoughts about how to deal with Joan. Irenikas, so didn't notice this inadvertent change. As soon as Borken left, he cast a teleportation spell and went straight from the airship to the ground.
General Erhan, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly met him and shouted, "Damn it! You're finally here. The army of monsters under Johnares had entered the outskirts of the forest two days ago, and now they were probably attacking. Get the Lane Lamp out, I know it must be in your hands at the moment. β
"Here, let these nasty illusions disappear completely. Also, get your men ready to climb up the ladder right away, and we'll be airborne above the city to catch these monsters off guard. With that, Henry handed over the relic, which shimmered with countless lenses.
This seemingly powerful magical item claims to be able to break a qiΔ illusion. But in reality, it is nothing more than a false vision created by the principle of light refraction and the magic of some elves, which are unique to destroying illusions, and forcing it to return to its normal state. The most important part of this is the spells. And this lamp is just a prop to distort the light.
The reason why it can be called a holy relic is probably because it has a long history, and no one in this world has really studied the deceptive effect of light refraction on vision. Most illusionists still stubbornly believe that a qiΔ hallucination should be applied to an enemy's brain, not an eye.
"Great! With it, we will immediately know the current situation of Sodenisla. Erhan excitedly took the lamp of Ryan and handed it to the mage beside him without saying a word.
After a complicated spell, a strong light burst out from the center of the lamp and went straight into the sky, and the entire sky above the Veldas Forest seemed to be torn open by some powerful force, followed by a strong white light that erupted again, and the flashing person couldn't open his eyes at all.
The whole process lasted for several minutes, and after everyone present slowly regained their sight, they finally saw some black smoke faintly rising from the forest at the northeast end of the camp, which happened to be in the direction of the Elven Capital. Even if you don't have to ask, Joan. Irenikas has already attacked, and it is estimated that the city built on the Tree of Life is going through an unprecedented ordeal.
This scene stunned all the wood elves present, especially Elhan gritted his teeth and whispered to himself, "What have you done...... Jonnares! This...... This is an unforgivable sin! β
"General, we must leave immediately, otherwise it will be too late." After the mage came back to his senses, he immediately raised the question of Jianyì. Like all elves, his eyes were filled with anger and fear at the same time, both wanting to save his hometown at once, and being a little afraid of Joan. The tyrannical power of Irenikas.
"Well, it seems that now I can only fight hard. Let all the soldiers move, I'll only give them fifteen minutes. Saying that, Erhan nodded to the adjutant beside him, who quickly shouted loudly without hesitation, and let the elven warriors start to line up, climbing up the ladder lowered by the airship, with his agile skills, basically a warrior entered the hanging hiding in ten seconds.
Although there are a lot of ladders, it is estimated that it will take more than ten minutes to load. Taking advantage of this time, Henry came to the open space behind the tent alone.
It had now become a resting place for the dragons, and a dozen metal dragons with a glimmering glare were lazily lying on the ground. There are many kinds of them, not only the well-known golden dragon, silver dragon, brass dragon, etc., but also a very rare steel dragon. On the other side are the brown dragon Otagos, the black dragon Oroxes, and the two female green dragons, both of whom often show disgust or menacing looks. But he always maintained restraint and did not fight.
These behemoths at the top of the food chain are Henry's most solid cards. Just as he was about to open his mouth to call out to his men. Suddenly, I felt a hand gently pat myself from behind. A familiar voice sounded in my ears.
"Good morning, my friend. Your huge flying machine looks truly spectacular. How's it going, are you ready to go? β
It was none other than one of the famous Three Blacks of the Continent of Faeron (the other two of the Three Blacks were Kelburn. Black Rod, Hyraste. Blackrobe), the Dark Elf Ranger Trist. His cloak was still stained with some dew, and he looked like he had just returned from the forest.
"Damn! Can't you just say hello in a normal way? I almost activated the trigger spell! Henry deliberately pretended to be very angry and joked.
Trist spread his hands and explained innocently, "Hey, you can't blame me for this. You know, I've been standing here for a long time, but you didn't even look at me when you passed me. β
"You think it's just the color of your skin. And this cloak of the same color as the tent, coupled with stealth skills, normal people will be able to see it? As he spoke, Henry pointed to the somewhat worn cloak and the equally dirty leather tent.
The famous ranger laughed and teased, "Okay, next time I'll try to find a way to make myself stand out." Also, you haven't answered my question yet. β
Hearing the other party ask about business, Henry also put away his joking tone, and nodded very strictly: "That's right." I'm sure you also saw the black smoke coming from the direction of the elven city, Joan. The evil armies of Irenikas are wreaking havoc there, and the form is at its most dangerous. We've got to play the savior, or I'm sure it'll be full of Wood Elf corpses in a few hours. β
"Understood. That mage must have had very evil plans. Because the animals in the forest are starting to get restless. As if they were hiding from something, they began to desperately flee to other places. I could feel the fear in them. As he spoke, Trist also had a stern expression on his face. It was the first time he had seen such a large-scale animal migration, almost as if it were before an earthquake or a volcanic eruption, which was so unusual.
"No, I think that's normal. You may not know that the main reason why this forest has always maintained its vigorous vitality is the huge tree of life. If its energy is drained, then the forest will die with it. The animals felt the cries of the trees, so they fled from the place where they were dying. β
As a child of nature, Henry could feel the changes in anyone, especially as each tree begged for his help in a unique way. The only remaining natural energy in the forest quickly gathered, and now he could activate the forest at any time if he wanted to, and strangle those enemies who tried to destroy it.
This is the power of the legendary druid, which, once connected to nature, is no match for even a thousand troops. In response to the famous saying on the earth, in the face of the great nature, human beings are too small.
The jealous Trist clenched the scimitar at his waist and asked, "What can I do to stop that evil mage?" β
"Don't worry, I'll stop him. Now take Bruno and they aboard the airship first, I need to say hello to the dragons. With that, Henry patted the other man on the shoulder, and then walked forward without looking back. He could already see Adalon, shimmering with a silvery glow, nodding at him.
"Then I'll go first, if you need a spearhead in charge of the assault, you can come to me at any time, you're welcome." Trist shouted loudly, then put his hood back on and walked towards the tent where his companions were resting.
He had to wake up the halfling thief Regis who liked to sleep in, and he had to convince the stubborn dwarf Bruno and Wolfgar, who had a strong prejudice against magic, otherwise they would never have boarded the giant flying machine floating in the sky. This is not an easy job, especially the barbarian Wolfga, who has a bad track record in this regard......
