Chapter 146 (1/2)
In just one day and one night, the expedition reached the big wall.
At the original crack on the cliff, the elves of the wind forest built a new outpost, and three more elves soldiers stationed here were responsible for monitoring the movements of the surrounding ogres.
From the top of the cliff, you can even see the wreckage of the last burned tree trunk and the remains of Ogres everywhere, although you can't see their ”appearance” for a long time.
This is the place where the expedition officially set out - starting from the ”main gate” of the tree wall, it is bound to be detected by the surrounding ogre settlements, and it is more difficult to hide the trace. And this extra ”gap” has naturally become the best choice.
The wind chasing Forest Elves who had already received the news built a camp for the expedition at the outpost for them to repair here for a short time; At the same time, adequate preparations have been made around. When Loren and others set out, the war dancers in the wind forest will launch a raid in advance to attract the attention of the surrounding ogre settlements.
By the time the expedition arrived, the tree wall was already crowded with elves soldiers who came to see them off - even if they didn't know why, these elves and dancers who dared to cross the tree wall deserved their last blessing.
And Kono, the leader of the chase forest war dancer, has been waiting for a black haired wizard for a long time
”You came at the right time. These fat monsters are gathering towards the 'gate', and the number around the big tree wall is decreasing every day.”
As soon as he welcomed Loren into the tent, Kono immediately said, ”if you start now, you can hardly meet any decent resistance in at least a week. If you are lucky, you may not even meet an ogre.”
Looking at the ugly expression of the war dancer leader, Loren raised his eyebrows: ”I guess this is not good news, right?”
”Of course not. It's the first time I've seen so many ogres gathering in one place!” Kono sighed. ”In the past, even hundreds of them were large settlements, but now those gathered outside the 'gate' are probably five or six times that number!”
”They are still gathering. This year's ogre invasion will surpass any previous one - I can almost foresee how the mountain of corpses fill the whole forest!”
Loren nodded irresistibly, and the corners of his mouth tilted slightly with a touch of irony.
Although some of the Elven elders still didn't believe in themselves before they left, they still made complete preparations. According to Luca, the number of war dancers gathered in the whole eastern forest this time is nearly double that of last year, and even Elven soldiers invited to come from the north to help join them.
So in fact, they know very well that this invasion will be extremely difficult and tragic, and even related to the fate of all elf settlements in the whole eastern forest.
Once the big tree wall is lost, it is impossible for war dancers to intercept hundreds of Ogres pouring into the forest. Settlements large and small will suffer the same fate as Yongye forest!
As long as ”mazka” still exists, the invasion of Ogres will not stop, or even become more and more intense, until they level the whole ancient wood forest.
”But... There's still some good news.” Loren smiled and relaxed the atmosphere: ”according to the time told me in advance by count ruwen, the materials supported by the Principality of lottel will arrive in the morning star forest in two days, and weapons, armor, medicine and linen will be delivered continuously.”
”With the assistance of the Principality of lottel, at least this time, the eastern Elves will no longer encounter the lack of materials. The battle should be much smoother and reduce a large number of unnecessary casualties.”
”Yes, the price is to accompany your Duke with a smile.” Kono nodded dismissively, but he didn't have much: ”but thank you for helping so much.”
Loren smiled helplessly and wanted the elves to accept human beings immediately. As expected, it was unrealistic - this kind of thing would take a long time and the two sides continued to compromise and tolerate each other.
At least now it is a good start to accept human assistance. It is impossible to force too much.
”Although the war dancers of the chasing wind forest must patrol the whole big wall and can't leave without permission, I can go to the eternal night forest with you.” Kono suddenly said: ”last time you almost lost your life for us, the kindness chasing wind forest must repay.”
”Well... I think a word of thanks is enough.” looking at the broken arm war dancer leader, Loren quickly opened his mouth, smiled and advised, ”I think you'd better stay and command the war dancers in the chase wind forest to play a better role!”
