Chapter 773: History Repeats Itself

I have to admit that Ellie never considered using a trap before hearing Jenny say this. Because it's the same question as asking if the undead need to eat, it's a question that doesn't need to be answered at all.

In fact, this is also normal, using stratagems and traps to deal with the enemy, more often than not, it is expected to be able to obtain greater benefits with fewer losses. Or it is weak, so it needs to be weak to defeat the strong sword. However, these do not play a big role in the undead, in fact, many times, traps or stratagems are not particularly powerful in themselves, but take advantage of people's psychological characteristics. For example, the grass and trees are soldiers, or the mountains are set on fire. Once successful, it is easy to cause the opponent to waver, and in this way, it can occupy the vanguard in the situation of its own weakness, and then it depends on how the commander commands, so as to expand the results of the battle.

But these don't mean anything to the undead, who don't cry, laugh, or fear, so stratagems and traps don't have much effect on them. It's like Zhuge Liang is emptying the city, even if he really hollows out the city, then the undead will rush up and bury him to death.

In other words, in the face of undead creatures, whether it is a strategy or a trap, their greatest advantage -- shaking the enemy's military spirit and weakening their momentum -- is basically impossible to achieve. Because the undead will really fight to the last man, in this case, any trap strategy is basically a decoration, and in the end, you still have to rush forward with real knives and guns. It's a thankless effort, so people don't fear the undead when they think about it. and will not waver, so naturally immediately subconsciously exclude the use of traps or something.

But in fact. Even if you can't be feared and shaken, there are benefits to using traps against the undead. After all, no matter what, these things are here to get the most bang for their buck at the least cost. From a certain point of view, they are indeed weak in the face of the undead army, but ...............

"Even so, it's not that easy.........

Thinking of this, Ellie also shook her head. The most troublesome thing about the undead is that they are so resistant to blows that ordinary traps can't stop them at all, and they can't do much damage to the enemy. You want to completely destroy the undead. The best way to do this is to use fire and magic. However, the former is not easy to maintain, and the latter consumes a lot, both of which are more than worth the loss.

"I think Miss Jenny must have a solution."

While Ellie was thinking, Priest Naga, who was standing next to her, looked at Jenny and asked. Although he hasn't been with this elf for a long time, Naga Priest already knows a thing or two about Jenny's temper, that is, the other party never believes in it, once she makes a certain suggestion. Then there must be specific ways and means. It's like dealing with the revitalization of the forest before, others can't do it, but it doesn't mean that she can't do it. And in fact, Priest Naga can be sure. Jenny must have a way.

Hearing Priest Naga's inquiry, Ellie and the others also raised their heads and looked at the elven ranger beside them. And after perceiving everyone's gaze. Jenny nodded.

"Yes, I do have a solution."

As he spoke. Jenny glanced at Viconia, who was standing next to her, intentionally or unintentionally, and didn't know why. Seeing this scene, Ellie suddenly felt a little uneasy. She opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything. And at this time, Jenny had already spoken.

"As you know, the undead are not easy to deal with, and the only way to effectively inflict damage on them is through the use of divine power and fire. For now, flame is our best bet. ”

"But even if it's a flame, it's impossible to keep burning all the time, right?"

Hearing this, Ellie couldn't help but ask questions.

"Besides, we don't have enough wood to sustain this consumption, not to mention that the necromancers can find a way to extinguish the flames........."

"That's right, so we need a stream of flame that will never be extinguished as our barrier."

"This ..............."

Hearing Jenny's answer, everyone present was stunned, and then looked at her with a strange expression. For a moment, they wondered if this elven ranger was talking nonsense, some stream of flames that would never be extinguished, this thing might exist in the fire elemental plane, but in the main plane......... Where is there such a thing?

"Even opening the fire elemental plane requires a lot of mana and spell casting, Miss Jenny."

Hearing this, the dwarf mage hurriedly spoke. At that time, he also entered the living forest with Jenny, and he could be regarded as a companion who fought side by side, so he naturally didn't want her to be questioned, so he immediately reminded her. Hearing the dwarf mage's words, Jenny smiled and nodded at him.

"Rest assured, I'm well aware of this, in fact, we don't need to make such a big effort to create a river of flames, we just need to guide them over."

"Bootstrapping?"

The people who are qualified to sit here have no low IQ, and as soon as Jenny's voice fell, they immediately grasped the point. At this moment, Jenny also smiled and nodded, and then she raised her right hand and pointed to a mountain range on the map in front of her.

"yes, I think......... In case you don't know, the Holy Flame Peak is a volcano. ”

"Wait, you mean ............!"

At this point, if everyone still can't hear what Jenny means, then it is really better to die. In fact, at this moment, Jenny has already said the answer that everyone thinks in their hearts.

"That's right, we can lure the army of the undead to assemble and attack us head-on. And when they reach their destination, we blast a hole in the Flame Peak, releasing the magma inside and completely devouring the undead army! We occupy the high ground, while the other side is in a low-lying area. In this way, we will not only be able to easily wipe out most of the forces of the Undead Legion. And it won't cause too many casualties........."

As she spoke, Jenny looked at Ellie in front of her.

"I think. It's a good idea. ”

"This ..............."

Faced with Jenny's proposal, Ellie and the others couldn't help but fall into thought. It was true that this was an idea they had never thought of before, but when they heard Jenny talk about it at this moment, they were surprised to find that it was a pretty good idea, that magma was inexhaustible, and that it was powerful enough to destroy most of the undead. If it can really be done according to Jenny's proposal, then the feasibility of this plan is indeed very high. But.........

"I'm against it!"

The elven princess's voice broke the silence in the tent. I saw her standing in front of the map with a serious expression. He glared at Jenny disgruntled and spoke.

"This may indeed stop the undead legion's advance, but our homeland will also be destroyed in the flames!! Don't you know how much damage it will do to this forest once the flame stream in the Holy Flame Peak is released? ”

"Of course I know, but it seems to me that a forest withered by death is not much different from a forest destroyed by fire."

In the face of the elven princess's angry inquiry, Jenny's performance was very calm. And see this scene. Priest Naga helplessly reached out and pressed his forehead. She'd been through Jenny's quarrel at the Elven Queen's Imperial Council before, and now it looked like it was going to be repeating itself here. I have to admit that Jenny's suggestions are all valid. But the problem is that the methods she proposes are almost unacceptable to the elves. Whether it was burning a barrier before, or now it is going to directly "set fire to the forest". On weekdays, this is a proposal that the elves will not accept if they are killed. But the problem is that the situation is special now. If the Undead Legion can't be completely blocked and wiped out here, then it will only be a matter of time before the Undead Legion breaks through the Elven Forest. Once that happens, then the whole continent will suffer. Sacrificing a forest is nothing in comparison.

But it's a pity to look at the appearance of the elf princess, she obviously doesn't think so.

"I'm adamantly against that, and the other elves won't agree to it!"

"But Miss Viconya, I think it's a very good solution."

Hearing Viconia's statement, Ellie had to give her opinion.

"For now, we have only enough troops on both sides to withstand the undead attack, but if the stalemate continues, the situation will be very unfavorable for us. I'll admit that this will do some damage to the Elven Forest, but if we handle it properly, at least most of the forest will survive, right? If we fail, the entire forest will be completely destroyed by the Legion of Death........."

“……………”

Hearing Ellie's words, Viconia couldn't help but fall into silence, only to see her clenching her teeth, clenching her fists, and looking unwilling. But it's no wonder that she is the princess of the elves and the pride of the elves. Unlike her sister, Viconia lived up to the expectations of the elves. She was supposed to lead the elves through the storm, but now......... Does it have to be such an approach?

"Is there no other way?"

After a few moments, Viconia asked again reluctantly, and Jenny shrugged her shoulders at the hearing of her inquiry.

"There may be other options, but personally, it's the best I can think of at the moment."

Hearing this, Priest Naga couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart, and she hurriedly looked at Ellie, wanting to give Her Highness the Holy Maiden a look. Hearing this, the Naga priest knew that something was wrong, because Jenny's words were almost the same as what she had said before in the Elven Court, and it was certain that if someone did not come to appease both sides at this time, then maybe it would be very troublesome in the future.

"Well, at least we can move some of the trees beforehand............"

"I don't recommend this, undead creatures are brainless, but that doesn't mean they're fools. If we remove trees in a big way, doesn't that tell them that we have set up an ambush? In this way, it will only fall short. ”

"So, do you mean that we can only watch the trees in this forest that have survived hundreds of years of wind and rain and not fall to be completely destroyed?"

In the face of the elven princess's angry rhetorical question, Jenny thought for a moment, and then nodded.

"For now, that's true."

"I'm against it!!"

Hearing Jenny's answer, the elf princess suddenly erupted. (To be continued.) )
