Chapter 961: The Frontline
After resting in the elven king's palace for one night, the next day Jenn and the others marched to the front line under the leadership of Lilou, and I don't know what the elf queen said to Lilou, this elf girl was quite nervous and respectful when facing Jenn, and it could be seen that her attitude towards Jenn was not just curious.
And what made Jenn feel reassuring was that after asking the elven queen, he finally knew how the elves here breed. They weren't hermaphroditic like Jenn liked, not even viviparous, but oviparous! According to the Elven Queen, how the elves here want to have children, they first have to go to a sacred tree called the Tree of Love, eat its fruits, and then merge their souls with each other. So that by the next day, a small egg will appear between them. And then all the elves have to do is take care of the egg, let it grow gradually, and when it grows big enough, it will burst, and then the elf will crawl out of it......... Moreover, these elves are keenly aware of the blood relationship between themselves and their parents, so they are not afraid of holding the wrong child.
Of course, Jenn became interested in the so-called sacred tree, but the time was too short, so he only made a brief observation--at least on the outside, Jenn didn't see any difference between it and other trees, and as for the rest, he had to wait until he came back and then give it to Nabelius to study, which she was good at anyway.
For now, Jenn is more concerned about the orcs who have invaded the island, according to Lilou, they suddenly appeared on the northern shore of the island one day, when the elves thought that these strange-looking monsters were in trouble and wanted to help them, but they attacked them. Although the elves narrowly escaped, what the monsters did next surprised the elves. The elves were not happy when they saw that the orcs who had first come to the north shore began to knock down trees and set fire to the mountains, turning the entire forest island into a miasma, and after the warning was ineffective, they chose to attack and wanted to expel the monsters from the island. As a result, I didn't expect that these monsters were not afraid of arrows or any weapons at all, but the elves suffered a big loss. This incident also alarmed the elven queen, although she personally led the elves to fight each other several times, but the situation was still not much better.
The only thing that luckily is that these monsters are huge and don't attack from a distance. The elves, on the other hand, are better at firing cold arrows in dense forests, and unless they are stupid enough to rush out and fight each other, the orcs will not be able to hurt them. But even so, the orcs did not give up their plans to continue to expand, and they still destroyed the forest all day long, and then set fire to the mountain. At first, the elves tried to extinguish the fire, but after several times they were almost attacked by the orcs who were lying in ambush next to them, they could only hide from a distance, helplessly watching each other do whatever they wanted. What makes the elves even more strange is that with each passing day, the number of the other party increases, but they have no idea where these orcs come from.
Jenn, however, already had a plan.
Because this technique is so familiar...............
After a day and a night of traveling, under the leadership of Lilou, Jenn and his party finally arrived at the front line of the elves.
Of course, this "front line" is honestly the same as not, after all, the elves are not human, and they have no interest in digging trenches and repairing the city walls, and their battles are basically the routine of "the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and I disturb, the enemy retreats and I advance, and the enemy is tired and I fight". But it's a pity that the elves are not good at frontal combat, so even if they play guerrilla to the limit, they are just guerrilla and not attack. Therefore, this so-called front line is actually just a gathering point for the elves relatively close to the battlefield, and the elves go out to patrol on weekdays and come back to rest after the battle, so the elves have no concept of maintaining the battle line at all............ It's no wonder they're chased away by each other.
Jenn, who entered the tribe, was naturally scrutinized by the other elves again, but perhaps because of the adverse effects of the war, the elves here did not like to join in the fun as much as the royal capital, although many elves cast surprised glances at Jenn, but few people asked out loud, at most they just followed them for a while. The atmosphere of the whole tribe was dreary, and at first Jenn thought it was because the elves had lost the battle, but soon they received an unexpected answer.
"Sick?"
Lilou's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at the guard in front of her. Hearing her inquiry, the guard nodded.
"Yes, many people, including the captain, are sick these days, they are weak, they are pale, and they can't eat......... Not only the captain, but even the people sent to care for them have contracted this strange disease, and the herbs we have picked have no effect at all. Because of this, at the moment the captain forbids anyone to enter the camp............"
"This ..............."
Hearing this, Lilou also frowned and looked at Jenn uneasily. Sensing Lilou's gaze, Jenn also pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Please let us go in and see, I think we might have a way to cure them."
"Who are you? Lilou-sama, this person ................"
Hearing Jenn's words, the guard, who was already quite curious about him, suddenly asked. But before she could finish her sentence, she saw Lilou hastily interrupt her, and then walked up to her and whispered something to her. Everyone saw that the elven guard obviously showed a surprised expression, then looked at Jenn in surprise, and then hurriedly bowed his head respectfully.
"I'm so sorry, my lord, I didn't mean to stop you..............."
"Nothing."
Jenn wasn't interested in the politeness, he just waved his hand and interrupted the other man's speech.
"Can we go in now?"
"Of course you can ..............."
The guard hesitated slightly, then whispered.
"That......... If you can, please don't get too close. ”
"Why don't you get too close?"
Hearing the guard's words, Lilu looked a little curious. But when the crowd entered the camp led by the guards, they immediately understood what she meant.
Before they had even entered the tent, they smelled a disgusting, strange smell, which was a mixture of excrement and corpses, and the mere smell of it made people feel like vomiting, and Vivien stopped directly, and the other people's faces were not good-looking, only Nabellius looked as usual--after all, the little guy had smelled the more terrible smells when he was experimenting, and he was not surprised by this kind of thing.
Jenn also stopped, and then he raised his right hand and waved it out of thin air, and the next moment he saw the curtain made of huge leaves, which had been used to cover it, fly upside down. This startled Lilou and the guards next to her, but they soon set their eyes on the tent, and Lilou couldn't help but be surprised.
I saw that in the tent, dozens of yellow-faced and thin-skinned elves, almost no different from dead people, were lying on the ground like this, and the skin on their bodies had begun to fester, and yellow pus was flowing out. There were mosquitoes everywhere, and if it weren't for the slight heaving of the elves' chests, it would have made people think that they were rotten and rotten corpses that had already died.
"How so?"
Looking at this scene, Lilu's face also changed greatly, she had expected that the situation might be very bad, but she didn't expect it to be so bad. And in this regard, the elven guard also showed a heavy face.
"There's nothing we can do, Lord Lilou, we've used all the means we can do, but there's nothing we can do to get our sisters better, and those who get too close are sick......... Now we really can't do anything else..............."
"So you put them here to die?"
"I'm sorry, Lilou-sama............"
"It's not her fault..............."
And at this time, suddenly a faint voice came from the tent, everyone turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound, and soon saw an elf sitting up desperately, judging from her complexion, she was not much different from the others, but relatively speaking, the spirit was better than that of other elves.
"Captain Nael?"
"Lilou, it's you............"
Looking at Lilou, the elf named Nal's smiled wryly.
"I'm sorry, Lilou, I'm afraid we won't be able to support it for long, I can feel that this horrible disease is taking my life......... Those monsters......... They are spreading this disease all over the forest, not only us, but also the animals in the forest, and the animals that have been infected with the disease are attacking everywhere like crazy, and we ......... I'm afraid I won't be able to last long..............."
"No, Captain Nael!"
Hearing this, Lilu also hurriedly shouted.
"I've brought the Guardian, and the Guardian will be able to solve these strange diseases!"
"Guardians?"
Hearing Lilou's words, the elf named Nalle looked up at Jenn with a curious expression, but she didn't say anything. Lilou also hurriedly turned her head to look at Jenn, and asked eagerly.
"Guardian, you must have a way to help everyone, right?"
"Of course."
In the face of Lilu's inquiry, Jenn did not look sloppy, but quickly nodded and gave an answer. In fact, after he saw what was happening, Jenn knew what was going on. So Jenn didn't even take matters into his own hands, he just turned his head to look at Nabelius beside him, and patted her on the shoulder.
"Over to you, Nabelius."
"Yes, sir."
Hearing Jenn's words, Nabellius smiled at her, she first gave Vivien, who was gritting her teeth with hatred, a smug look, and then took two steps forward, and then, seeing Nabellius open her hands like this.
Immediately afterward, an emerald green glow lit up between Nabelius' hands. (To be continued.) )
