Chapter 531: Icicle Shower (1/2)
”Princess Thessalia!”
Many elves on the Great Wall cried while everyone else widened their eyes in shock at the penetrative power of the mutated rat's ballistic lightning spikes.
Swoosh~!
Supreme Elder Haldir immediately took off from the Great Wall after equipping his vine armor and wings, flying towards the plummeting airship in hopes of saving Princess Thessalia.
”Please be safe, Princess Thessalia!” The elves quickly prayed.
In the elven camp outside of the military city, Faelyn suddenly turned towards the Great Wall, vaguely sensing something that made her heart anxious.
”Is everything alright, Your Highness? Your face looks a bit pale,” An elvish man asked out of concern after placing down a barrel and wiping the sweats off his forehead.
Faelyn touched her cheeks absentmindedly before she shook her head, ”It's fine. I'm just feeling a little unsettled for some reason.”
”Perhaps, something big has happened on the Great Wall? If it puts your heart at peace, you can go check, Your Highness. You do not need to worry about us. We'll be fine on our own for now.” Another elvish man spoke.
At that moment, large banana leaf trees were erected everywhere in the area, sucking up all the water in the ground and casting a massive shade over the elven camp for the tribesmen to take shelter from the hot sun.
Many tribesmen could be seen resting on the vine floor, massaging their sore muscles from the long trip, while others fanned themselves due to the heat.
At the same time, a few elven volunteers could be seen distributing bananas around to the tribesmen to satiate their hunger and recover their energy.
”Then I will go and check for a bit,” Faelyn said hesitantly while looking around at her tribesmen, urging her to leave.
”Yes, Your Highness. Don't worry about us and go with a peace of mind.”
”Yeah, maybe you can share with us what is happening out there when you are back, your Highness.”
The tribesmen spoke.
”Alright, thank you, everyone.” Faelyn nodded before she departed the elven camp with a big banana leaf over her head.
Shortly after, Faelyn arrived on the Great Wall.
”What's the current situation?”
”Y-Your Highness? Y-You're here.”
The elven warriors were surprised before Faelyn nodded with furrowed brows and said, ”Yes, is that a problem?”
”Perhaps, it's better not to come here. It's not safe, Your Highness.” An elven warrior warned with a mixture of fear and concern.
Nevertheless, the elven warrior did not retreat from his post.
Faelyn could immediately sense the tense atmosphere on the Great Wall before she made her way through the rows of elven warriors and soldiers lined up on the wall.
Before she could reach the front, she heard General Marquis Hendrick shouted, ”Raise your shields and brace for impact! Here comes another volley of spikes!”
At the same time, General Marquis Hendrick snapped his fingers and summoned a winding tempest in front of the Great Wall to divert some of the incoming lightning spikes.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Thousands of ballistic lightning spikes quickly rained on the Great Wall in quick successions, causing audible rumbles on the wall before some soldiers and elven warriors were struck from the front!
