Chapter 584: The Worst News
The battle between the dark elves and the tree elves lasted for more than two hours before the curtain came to an end, and finally the wood elves barely defeated the evil cousin with their numbers and tight formations, but at the same time, they also lost the ability to pursue, and more than half of the more than 5,000 people were lost, and under the treatment of the priest, they barely recovered about 3,000 combat strength.
Looking at the wounded and corpses everywhere, General Erhan couldn't help but sigh, and there was no trace of pride and pride in the victor's sad face. He knew very well that this was not a big victory, as the opponent was only a temporary strategic retreat, and the remaining Dark Elf army should still be numbered at about fifteen hundred, and it was possible to launch a counterattack again at any time.
Just as he was thinking about what to do next, suddenly a mage hurriedly ran over and shouted, "General! General Erhan! Something is wrong! We have lost contact with Sodenisla! No matter what method you use, you can't get in touch! ”
"What !!!" Hearing this, Erhan was instantly stunned.
You must know that Sodenisra is one of the few remaining cities on the Ferron Road that retains its intact locks, and as the highest achievement of elven magic, it is not something that ordinary people can crack at all, even if the gods come in person, they can't do anything.
These pointy-eared creatures had arrogantly declared that no one but themselves could break the magic locks. But in fact, it is precisely like this, even the glorious human civilization of Nessreel, can do nothing about this masterpiece made of magical energy, and can only find another way to create Zào out of the Floating City.
As one of the most outstanding representatives of the elves' advanced magical skills, the Lost Lock has many advantages, such as a wide range (ranging from a few kilometers to tens of kilometers), a powerful effect (it can expel or kill powerful creatures such as demon lords and dragons), and a long duration (short lasts for hundreds of years, long for thousands of years), and many other advantages. The most important thing is that it has a simple consciousness of its own. Able to distinguish between friend and foe. There will never be any accidental injury.
It can be said that the elves were able to rise rapidly after coming to the Faren Continent. A large part of it is due to the power of the magic lock.
At that time, the sky was the sky of dragons, the earth was the land of giants, and there were dozens of times more terrifying beasts and ferocious monsters than now. The elves survived the initial period of weakness thanks to the protection of the Mystery Lock, and then launched an epic counter-offensive that successfully ended the era of dragons and giants and created a magnificent elven empire.
For more than 10,000 years, these maze have faithfully fulfilled their duties. There has never been a single bit of poor cuò. There is no doubt that only the elves themselves have the possibility of knowing its weaknesses and how to crack it, and the status is definitely very high, otherwise it would be impossible to get access to these secrets.
Astound!
Silent!
The people who heard the news were all lost in thought, and their expressions were gloomy, and they didn't know what to do at all.
Suddenly, an elven warrior ran over and shouted, "General! We caught a captive who said he had something important to see you. ”
"Bring it on, it just so happens that I have a lot of questions that need an answer." Erhan said with a slight sigh.
A few minutes later, a trapped sturdy dark elf was brought in. He didn't care about the hateful eyes of the people around him. He bowed generously and said, "Hello, Your Excellency General." I'm Solaofen. A dark elf who believes in the dark maiden Elitris. ”
Somewhat surprised, Erhan asked, "Unbelievable, you're a believer in the Dancing Lady!" It's incredible, if you have a good heart, why do you follow those evil compatriots to the surface to carry out inhumane killings? ”
Elistra is known to be a goddess of beauty and peace, determined to save the dark elves from her evil mother, Rose. However, her strength is really a little weak, and the number of believers is pitiful, and she is completely inferior in the battle, if it weren't for her many allies, I am afraid she would have been killed a long time ago.
In general, this goddess basically does not have any bad habits except that she does not like to wear clothes. In the same way, most of her followers are in the good camp, and at worst they are chaotic and neutral, and they must not be evil.
Of course, as a wood elf, Erhan was instinctively skeptical of the dark elf, but the military mage nodded at him slightly, indicating that the man in front of him was not lying under the supervision of the spell, and everything was true.
Solao caught eye contact and explained with a wry smile, "I've never killed a single surface life, I just wanted to deliver a message. As long as you guarantee that this news will reach the designated target, then I will tell you who the mastermind of this attack is. ”
"General, this dark elf is telling the truth, and we just detected his camp, chaotic and kind." A mage whispered a reminder in Elhan's ear.
Erhan nodded, looking at Solaofen with a wary look in his eyes, but no hatred. He waved his hand to signal the soldier to untie the rope, and then stood up: "Very reasonable request, very fair. I swear by my honor that as long as the information is useful to us, then the person you designate will surely receive the message. ”
"Thank you, I need you to ask Henry. Angome relayed that his son Alan was in Uster. The city of Naza is in a very dangerous situation. Solau Fan moved his aching wrist as he made his own request.
Although he believed that the human boy would not deceive him, he was still a little nervous when it came to the event, after all, it was not only about an innocent life, but also about whether he could find shelter on the surface in the future.
"Henry. Angome? Erhan frowned and muttered quietly. He thought the name was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
You must know that the elves living in the forest are in isolation most of the time, and although there are special people responsible for collecting information from the outside world, there are not many people who care. They didn't need much from the outside world, only table salt, cloth, magical materials, and sparkling gems.
The elven mage standing next to him didn't think about it for a long time when he saw his general, so he had to step forward again and remind in a low voice: "Your Excellency, that is the lord of the area of Baldur's Gate in the north. Legendary adventurer. It is said that he completed a series of incredible commissions near Ascatla some time ago. He also killed the tyrant, the primeval red dragon Baragas "Flying Flame". The latest warning, this human has declared the Kingdom of West Hartland, which is now known to the outside world as Henry I. ”
The voices of the two men were small, but they were still heard clearly by Solao. His anxious heart finally calmed down, and at the same time there was a hint of joy. The greater Henry's fame and power, the more benefits he can get after rescuing Allen, and at least one noble title is no problem.
Erhan had a look of abrupt realization on his face: "I see. I said that it sounded familiar, and it turned out to be the famous human being. Why, listen to you, his son was also kidnapped by the Dark Elves? ”
"That's right, it was this Allen boy who asked me to send the news to his father." Solaofen didn't want to cause any misunderstanding because of concealment and deception, so he had to recount the whole process one by one.
"Hahahaha! I have to say, those evil people of yours are simply crazy to provoke a legendary spellcaster. You know, Henry. Ten years ago, Angome destroyed an underground city called Ariedrin, which was said to be in shambles. So far, it has not been able to recover. "Elhan could have imagined the terrifying fury of this powerful human upon receiving the news. There is no doubt that the evil dark elves have caused themselves a big problem.
Of course, he didn't know that the culprit who actually destroyed the city of Ariedlin was Haylast. The black robe and his army of clones have little to do with Henry. However, for the sake of secrecy, the Council of Lords of Waterdeep put this honor on Henry's head, claiming that he had swept away the enemies underground and saved the entire city.
Solao shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "Maybe, otherwise those of my compatriots would not have made such a choice." What you may not know is that the reason for this attack on the surface is actually a man named Joan. The mage of Irenikas proposed the building yì. I have to say, he is such a terrible guy, I just glanced at it from a distance, and the hairs all over my body stood on end in fright. ”
Hear Joan. The name of Irenikas, the faces of every forest elf present changed in an instant, and Erhan's expression was even more gloomy and almost dripping.
After a few minutes of silence, he slammed the table and cursed through gritted teeth, "Bastard! I should have thought of it a long time ago! Exile, only he has the power to break the magical locks of Sodanisra, and only he will seek revenge on us. ”
"General! Now that the city of Sodenisra is in danger, we must do our best to get the news to Queen Alistar. The military mage urged anxiously. Now that there weren't many defenders left in the city, he couldn't imagine that once Joan. What a horrible damage Irenikas would have done if he had killed him back.
"I understand...... I understand...... We need the Lamp of Lane......" Erhan sat down and muttered to himself. He looked unusually decadent, with unspeakable worry in his eyes.
The elven mage's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly shouted, "General! The Lamp of Lane is enshrined in the Temple of Mislane, and perhaps we can find it in the ruins. ”
"I'm sorry, but I have to tell you another piece of bad news. If you speak of the lamp of Lane that was placed in the temple...... Now I'm afraid it's fallen on Joan. Irenikas is in his hands. ”
Solaofen's words were like a basin of cold water with ice cubes poured down from his head, making every forest spirit present feel cold. There is no doubt that if this thing falls into the hands of a legendary mage, there is absolutely no chance of a strong return.
Erhan knows Joan better than anyone. The horror of Irenikas, especially the terrifying aura of this guy's last attempt to extract the Tree of Life, is still haunting. At that time, the entire Sodenisra's spellcasters were almost unstoppable, and in the end, it was only with the intervention of Queen Alistar that the situation was barely stabilized.
This genius mage, who is known as the best in the history of the elves for two thousand years, is not an opponent that can be defeated by numbers. At this moment, he felt a deep powerlessness......
