Chapter 713: The Vortex (I)

The battle continues.

Perhaps because the monsters with intelligence are indeed more difficult to deal with, after the early temptation encountered a head-on attack, the activated forest immediately ordered the mutant monsters to start retreating. Before the sun rose, they had quietly disappeared on the other side of the hillside.

However, the elves did not pursue this because of this, because they had learned from Orphin that these mutated monsters, although they looked like undead, were not actually undead, but more like living creatures. Because of this, after confirming that those mutated creatures had left, the elves also immediately began to recuperate and prepare for the next battle.

It's just that at this moment inside the camp, a quarrel also unfolded.

"Fixed income line of defense? Do you all have brain disease? ”

Patilina slapped her face on the table, unabashedly showing her contempt and contempt for the group of elves in front of her.

"As it stands, where are you going to hold the line? There are no concrete fortifications, no bunkers or machine guns, so are you going to rely on these broken trees to defend it? The other party is a monster, and it is a monster covered in plague......... Then again........."

As she spoke, Patilina glanced at the charred corpses in the distance.

"What are you going to do with those corpses?"

Hearing this question, the elf princess who was the leader also frowned slightly, and had to admit that although Patilina's speech was very unpleasant, the problem in front of her was indeed real. So she thought for a moment before she answered.

"We will return them to Mother Earth........."

But. Before the elven princess could finish speaking, Pattilina unceremoniously interrupted her.

"Huh? Are you sick in the head? You're trying to bury them? Have you figured out what's going on? These things are plague-infected virions. There was a virus on every corpse. You don't plan to burn this kind of thing, you want to bury it. Do you have pig brains in your head? ”

"Rude!! How can you speak to Her Royal Highness like that? ”

At this time, the others who were standing behind the elf princess couldn't help but speak. An elf in leather armor stepped out of it, stared at Patilina with a frown, and then opened his mouth to accuse.

"Her Royal Highness must have her considerations, and this is also the tradition of our elven clan........."

"There is such a tradition, it is really deserved to die! A bunch of stupid pigs, if you hadn't buried those corpses everywhere, they wouldn't have run everywhere......... No wonder you have to ask for help from outside, according to your means of not doing and not dying. If you don't toss and die, can you finish it? ”

"You're ............!!"

"Please wait a minute, Miss Patilina."

Seeing that the smell of gunpowder between the two sides was getting bigger and bigger, Ellie had to stand up and take charge of mediation. In fact, deep down, she also felt a little sympathy with Patilina's words. Although Pattilina's words were vicious, if you stripped away the words that were completely subjective and annoying, she went straight to the center. In fact, this was noticed by Ellie when she arrived in the Elven Forest. That is, although the elves have strong skills, they actually don't trust outsiders such as themselves, and among the elves, the traditional power is very strong. For example, the corpses that died of the plague. According to human rules, it should be burned all. But among the elves, they choose to bury these corpses in earth and water. Thinking that the earth and rivers can protect the souls of those who have been tormented by illness and died, to be honest, Ellie's ears couldn't believe it when she heard this. Because according to her, this is simply equivalent to carrying out the secondary spread of the plague. It was only after Orphen brought back the news that the corpses infected by the plague would mutate, that the elves stopped doing so. But now it looks. They are apparently "back to their old ways" again.

In fact, Ellie also agrees with Patilina's opinion, and she doesn't understand the elf princess's thoughts. As a saint, Ellie naturally hopes that those tormented souls can rest in peace. But she is also well aware. Do extraordinary things in extraordinary times. Sometimes sacrifices have to be made to protect more people. In fact, Ellie also wants to talk to the elf princess about this, but as an outsider, her identity seems a little awkward, and she can't find any suitable time to speak. And now, now that Patilina has mentioned this issue, Ellie can also express her opinion.

"Please calm down, both of us, we are well aware of the seriousness of the problem at hand, and Miss Patilina is also for everyone's good. Indeed, the disease here looks different......... Her Royal Highness the Princess......... I know what you're going to say. ”

Seeing that the elf princess opened her mouth to say something, Ellie hurriedly raised her hand to signal her to wait, and then continued.

"I understand that you want to use the divine power of the Holy River to dispel the plague, but to be honest, I'm worried about whether it will work. Because according to our observations during this time, even the god's healing technique cannot get rid of this plague very well. That's one of the reasons why it's able to spread on a large scale and there's nothing we can do about it. So even if you want to use the Holy River, I'm a little worried about whether the waters of the Holy River can really eradicate the plague........."

I have to admit that as a saint, Ellie's speech skills are really full. With her persuasion, the elf princess's originally high frowning brows gradually relaxed, but the elves behind her were still a little dissatisfied, but since Her Royal Highness the princess didn't speak, then they wouldn't say anything more.

As for Pattilina, she wouldn't give Ellie any face, in fact, when Ellie started talking "nonsense", Pattilina had already left the camp and returned to her tent with Elinster.

"It's just a bunch of pigs! Elinster, you have to watch it, and no one will learn from these idiot elves in the future. Damn, if it weren't for the master's orders, where would I care if they died......... Forget it, anyway, we didn't care if they lived or died this time! ”

As she spoke, Patilina sat down against the stone and yawned profusely. Then she blinked, and then, as if she remembered something, she looked at Elinster.

"By the way, Elinster, what did those bastards do with the corpses before? I mean the ones who died in battle. ”

(This............... )

Hearing Patilina's sudden inquiry, Irnest was stunned for a moment, but as the "central brain" of the entire battlefield, she would definitely not forget this kind of thing, so after thinking for a while, Elester still answered obediently.

(They say it seems to be buried in a resting place......... )

"What the hell is this place close to us?"

(No, I heard it was on the other side of the camp............ )

"That's good."

Hearing this, Patilina nodded in satisfaction, and then saw the little one roll over like this, and then lie down on the soft cushion.

"Okay, it's time to eat, sleep, we don't have anything to do. Anyway, if they are unlucky, they will be unlucky first. ”

The night is getting darker.

When Ellie came out of the camp again, it was already evening, and the blood-red setting sun cast the last rays of the day on the other side of the ridge, staining the entire sky with blood red. However, at this moment, Ellie only felt deeply tired, and until the end, she did not agree with Viconia on what to do with the corpses on the battlefield. Originally, Ellie thought that this was simply the reason why the elves were not mentally prepared for such thoughts, but when she talked to the Naga priest, she was surprised to learn that someone had already made a similar suggestion to the elves long ago. It's just that the suggestion seems radical to the elves, because they actually ask them to burn a barrier with their own hands to prevent the further spread of the plague.

At first, Ellie was also shocked when she heard this suggestion. But then she immediately realized that although the proposal sounded bold, it was very constructive and feasible. Not only that, but from the battles of the past few days, Ellie also found that such a suggestion is indeed very important. You must know that now those mutant monsters are using the cover of the dense forest to attack them unscrupulously. To be honest, in the late stages of yesterday's battle, many paladins even instinctively contracted their defenses and moved closer in Patilina's direction. Why? It was because the little guy's bombardment directly burned the dense forest in front of her, so that the others could deal with the enemy much easier. At least they don't have to think about whether their enemies are coming out of the trees or the bushes.

And if the elves can really burn a barrier according to this suggestion, then it will be easier for them to defend, and not as passive as they are now. And......... Fire is always the best way to get rid of the plague.

Merely.........

Thinking of this, Ellie couldn't help but sigh. She had just learned from the Naga priest that the elf who had made the suggestion had left the place. It's a pity, although Ellie hasn't met each other yet, but she has a deep understanding of the stubbornness and conservatism of the elves these days. Among this group of elves, there can be such an eclectic alternative, which really makes Ellie curious. Not to mention that even the Naga priest is quite praised for her, she knows her companions very well, if it weren't for the real ability, this Naga priest would definitely not look at it more. And now, even she has such a high regard for that elf, which shows that the other party must be outstanding.

But such a talent left because of the prejudice of the elves......... It's a shame.........

Thinking of this, Ellie sighed again, and then she turned to leave.

And at this moment, suddenly, a sharp scream suddenly sounded, breaking the silence of the camp. (To be continued.) )
