472 Outburst of Cries (1/2)
At a particular location along the fiery line of burning trees surrounding the Great Forest, large groups of elven warriors showed significant signs of exhaustion.
Shortly after, a few elven warriors exhausted themselves and collapsed on the ground before a few other elven warriors quickly pulled them away from the fiery trees.
”We got another few collapsed over here, sir!” They reported.
”Understood.” The elven captain in charge of the area nodded and said, ”Quickly take them back to rest!”
”Yes, sir!”
After the group left with collapsed elven warriors, another elf approached the elven captain and stated, ”Sir, the rest of the warriors will not be able to control the fire for much longer. We should pull back.”
The elven captain observed the tired-worn expressions on the elven warriors' faces and nodded.
”Alright. Go inform the Third Princess and the other captains in the surrounding areas that we are pulling out warriors back.”
”Yes, sir!”
The elven warrior quickly left.
…
Meanwhile, back at the vine wall where Princess Thessalia and her personal guards were located…
Boom!
An object was hurled into the rat tide before it exploded brilliantly, bursting into great flames that swallowed hundreds of Wingrats in an instance!
The fortunate Wingrats quickly squeaked away from the flames in horror while their unfortunate brethren burned to death.
”These exploding pills are amazing!” an elven warrior exclaimed with awe as it gazed at the red pill in his hand.
Another elven warrior nodded and said, ”Tell me about it. Who would have expected such a small pill to contain so much power?!”
”Oi, oi. You all better careful with those exploding pills now. One careless mistake, and we will all burst into flames!” A higher-level elven warrior warned.
”Yes, captain! We understand!”
The elven warriors on the vine wall all nodded.
Princess Thessalia looked at the burning flames in the distance with fascination as the rats retreated in fear.
She never knew flames could be so beautiful.
However, shortly after, she shook her head, thinking that it was dangerous for an elf to be fascinated by fire.
Half an hour earlier, she had stopped the human prince from leaving before a solution to the rat tide problem was provided.
In the end, the answer given by the person were these exploding pills.
She could still remember the person shaking his head after pulling high-quality spirit herbs out of thin air and mixing them with rat blood to concoct hundreds of exploding pills on the spot.
”Haiz, Grandpa Don will probably like what I am doing around here if he knew…” The person had said shortly after completing his pill refinement and leaving.
Seeing the elven warriors having fun hurling the explosive red pills, she barked, ”We might have a few hundred of them, but they will be expended quickly if we don't use them sparingly when needed!”
