477 Alchemists Must Be Gifted Arsonists (2/2)
It was not long before the last batch of evacuating elves made it to the surface before the ground rumbled from the large movements of the tree roots pulling back.
”The elves have evacuated, and the Guardian Spirit have pulled back its roots. Let us regroup with the Supreme Elder and—”
Boom! Boom!
The Elder suddenly paused to look at the sudden explosions rumbling in the distance.
”What on earth is the Supreme Elder tossing at the rats?”
”I don't know, but it's very effective!”
The Elders quickly nodded in agreement, ”That's for sure!”
Their eyes flickered with awe.
There were a particular pleasure and enjoyment in watching these wretched rats squirm and burn in agony.
…
Great Forest Outskirts.
A group of informants quickly arrived and greeted, ”Third Princess Thessalia!”
”Report!” Princess Thessalia barked after acknowledging the elves' greetings.
”Yes! The surrounding elven warriors have exhausted their powers and began to retreat under their assigned captains' orders. We can no longer control the spread of the forest fire, Your Highness!”
”Understood.”
Princess Thessalia nodded.
Shortly after, the group of elves was suddenly startled by the nearby explosions. They quickly realized the source came from the reddish-blue pills the elven warriors were throwing.
”May I ask what those things are, Your Highness?” One of the elves asked while they all gulped in amazement.
Mountains of scorched-black rat carcasses could be seen ahead.
”Those? Those are exploding pills.”
”Pills can also be used like this?” The group of elves was both shocked and surprised.
Princess Thessalia nodded and said, ”Well, what can I say? Alchemists must be gifted arsonists.”
Shortly after, she refocused her eyes sternly. She called over an elven warrior and asked, ”What's the inventory on our exploding pills?”
”Report to your highness, we are down to three dozen pills left.” The elven warrior answered.
Princess Thessalia nodded.
”I see. Go inform all our warriors that we will be retreating.”
”Yes, Your Highness!”
Shortly after, a personal guard beside Princess Thessalia asks, ”Are we going to leave the Skysilver Beast King to fend for himself?”
Princess Thessalia shortly gazed back into the distance, where the Skysilver Beast King could be seen standing atop the black mountain of rat carcasses without much trouble.
The surrounding sea of rats was unable to come close due to the fires burning in the area.
”The Skysilver Beast King will be fine on its own.” Princess Thessalia said.
