Chapter 163 (1/2)
The cold moonlight shines on the dense canopy. The forest at night is only a little more cold than the morning, and there is a deeper and quiet darkness.
At present, the forest is more dangerous than in the past - after the battle of the eternal night forest valley, the scattered ogres are scattered in almost every corner of the surrounding forest. You can see the figure and trace of these giants anytime and anywhere, like wild animals wandering aimlessly in the middle of the night.
After leaving the yongyelin Valley, only a dozen war dancers were left, and the scarred expedition also embarked on the journey of return in the fierce beast covered forest.
Without izuria as a guide and all the older war dancers killed in battle, Liya, who became the last ”leader”, can only lead the expedition back along the original route. At the same time, she must be wary of the sporadic ogre attacks along the way.
Fatigue, pain, hunger... Not only these, the ogres that will appear at any time are also threatening the remaining war dancers. In addition to the spears in their hands, all the throwing guns and kindling agents have been consumed, and there is no means to protect themselves.
With memory, the female elves finally left the Yongye forest with the expedition team and arrived at the withered forest settlement along the deciduous river beach. Only the broken walls remained in the destroyed settlement, but the ogres entrenched here have also disappeared, giving the exhausted elves a chance to have a short rest.
Several war dancers with minor injuries stood guard outside the cloud canopy tree, while the rest found a place under the tree and leaned against the trunk to rest - the elves didn't even dare to light a bonfire, fearing that they would lead the surrounding ogres here.
The only intact tree cave was left to the black haired wizard by the elves of the expedition - after the battle in yongyelin Valley, Loren never woke up from his coma. If it weren't for his normal breathing and heartbeat, people would even think he was dead.
Similarly, the extremely tired Female Elf almost clenched her teeth and carried the human wizard all the way without dragging down the journey. She promised the little wizard that she would bring this guy back alive, and she would do what she said.
The war dancers of the expedition are also full of respect for the human Wizard - no matter what happened, he personally ended the ogre invasion. This alone deserves the highest respect from all elves.
Even if we don't say this, ten thousand steps back, if he hadn't defeated mezka and let the ogre break up on the spot, there would be no war dancer in yongyelin Valley who would die in obscurity on this unknown land and never return to his hometown.
Now the war dancers of the expedition have not only regarded Loren as a human wizard, but also regarded him as their own friend, a close comrade in arms - and for the sake of friends, the elves, whether Kono or Anduin, have proved their weight with their lives.
”Is he awake?”
The fairy who came to the tree hole asked a young war dancer, trying to make her expression look calm: ”is there any change compared with yesterday?”
The dejected war dancer shook his head: ”he is still in a coma. There is no sign of waking up. His forehead is burning like a fire. No matter what he does, he can't reduce his fever.” as he said, the war dancer's face showed some apology.
”You've tried your best.” Leia patted each other on the shoulder. ”Find a place to have a good rest. We'll continue to set off tomorrow. The big wall is near!”
”You have a little rest, too. I haven't seen you rest during this time.” the young war dancer couldn't help but say, ”don't press yourself too tired. There won't be ogres attacking us tonight.”
The haggard Female Elf just smiled and made the left war dancer look at her with worried face, and couldn't help sighing.
From leaving the eternal night forest, the important task of the survival of the whole expedition fell on the female elves. This is too heavy a burden for a young elf, but the remaining expedition really doesn't have enough convincing and experienced war dancers to lead them.
And Liya, who has never talked much, also silently took up this responsibility. Even if her own state has been poor, she still gritted her teeth and walked in the front, leading the team with her impression and experience.
She knew very well that as long as she made a mistake in judgment, she might encounter all kinds of situations that would destroy the expedition - lost, lost, met a large group of Ogres, encountered a raid... And so on.
At the same time, she had to take the unconscious black haired wizard on the road, which virtually increased her burden and made the ”journey” more difficult.
