The majestic ancient trees with a history of hundreds of years rose from the fertile soil of the forest and rushed towards the aberrant bodies that were pouring out of the intersection. With a series of xylem friction sounds, the heavy branches of the ancient trees fell from the air. Those deformed monsters were smashed into a puddle of flesh, and behind the ancient tree, the elite rangers were already bending their bows and setting arrows. The surface of the specially-made enchanted longbows shone with the brilliance of runes, and the front ends of the precision-processed arrows rippled. Three blue cyclones that flickered on and off opened, and a resonant buzzing sound in the air sounded.
"Charge everyone - aim and release!"
The commander's voice sounded on the high ground, and a dozen arrows filled with arcane energy, carried by the green wind blade, passed over the withered crown of the ancient guardian tree, and fell in a parabola at the end of the far intersection. A group of The monsters that were lucky enough to escape the heavy blow from the ancient tree staggered up from the ground when they were pierced by arrows one after another. Then the energy in the arrows triggered a series of deflagrations in their bodies, and the rising smoke and flames , this wave of monsters that rushed out of the dense forest were finally completely wiped out.
"The first team rests where it is, the second team recovers the arrows, and the medical soldiers come to rescue the wounded!" A human commander walked down from a nearby small highland and gave orders among the soldiers. He had a bandage on his head. The white strip of cloth has been stained black and red by blood and smoke, and the enchanted sword in his hand is full of blood stains. The originally full magical light has become extremely dim at this moment. He is very tired, and his eyes are bloodshot, but his voice is still loud¡ª -At this moment, only this loud voice can support the soldiers to continue to support here.
Not far away, the tall and majestic ancient guardian tree made a series of tired creaking sounds. It took heavy steps to the edge of the battlefield and re-rooted its roots into the soil while absorbing the limited nutrients in the soil to repair it. With his own wounds, he tried to stretch the crown of the tree towards the newly diffused morning light at the edge of the forest. The crown of the ancient tree had been dried up and blackened by the flames and smoke, and the only green leaves were trembling in the wind. A swishing sound.
Several silver-haired elves stood up from among the human soldiers and walked towards the tired guarding ancient tree. They seemed to be talking to the ancient tree. The human commander could not understand the special rhythm of the silver elves talking to the plant. , but he could see that the faces of the elf rangers were getting more and more serious, and it was obvious that the ancient tree's condition had reached its limit.
The sound of footsteps came from the nearby dense forest. The human rangers who were resting subconsciously tightened their weapons in their hands. However, after seeing the source of the footsteps clearly, the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and began to recover their strength. , enjoy this rare respite.
The human commander of this small mixed force looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall silver elf wearing light golden alloy armor leading a dozen soldiers towards this side through the trees. , he immediately stepped forward: "General Lomar."
"No need to be polite, I am patrolling the defense line," Lomar, the ranger general from the Silver Empire, raised his hand to interrupt the words of the human commander in front of him. It seemed that there was not much blood stained on his body from killing enemies, but from every aspect of his body, The bloody aura of desolation revealed in one action was far stronger than that of everyone here. This ranger general seemed to have slaughtered hundreds of enemies on the front line, but he did not let any filth contaminate himself. " How are things going here?¡±
"The physical strength of the soldiers has almost reached the limit, and our weapons are seriously damaged," the human commander said solemnly. He took an arrow that had just been recovered from the front from the soldier next to him, and pointed at the arrow that had already been recovered at the front. The spell-casting unit that started to melt said, "The consumption of spell-casting arrows is too serious, and they have become like this. I am afraid that they can only last two more rounds before they are completely melted, and conventional bows and arrows have almost no lethality against those monsters ¡¡±
Lomar¡¯s eyes fell on the magic arrow that was on the verge of reaching its limit, his expression was serious and he remained silent for a long time.
It is too expensive. It is extremely difficult to produce and process such a sophisticated spellcasting device. Even with the combined efforts of the Silver Empire and the Kingdom of Kaolin, the quantity that can be collected from the treasury is very limited. In the usual "normal war", This kind of consumption may be acceptable, but the number of mutant armies pouring out of the wasteland is more than tens or millions? Almost all of those thick-skinned monsters can only be completely killed by this kind of magic weapon, and the magic weapons in the hands of the soldiers on this line of defense can no longer be used up.
"The reinforcements organized by Lord Valentian have crossed the Long Bridge of the Returners and will soon arrive at the front line." The ranger general breathed out softly and told the news he had just received from the rear. Encourage these warriors who are fighting bloody battles on the front line, "including three columns of astrologers and at least six ranger regiments. Your king is also mobilizing the border guard regiments on the west and east sides. We are heredawn.
Lomar stared at the dead guardian for a long time, and an elf ranger next to him said softly: "It was planted by the Queen and Master Vilania"
Lomar didn't speak. He just took a breath and put his hand on the dry, mottled and scarred trunk of the ancient tree. He wanted to say a brief farewell to his comrade, and then went to organize the soldiers to join in. It was a battle, but at this moment, some indescribable "thrilling" feeling suddenly came to his heart, causing his movements to pause subconsciously for a second.
The invisible wind blew through the entire forest in this second, and the invisible force blew through every inch of the forest defense line.
The rangers nearby seemed to sense something. They raised their heads in surprise and tried to find the source of the wind, but they only saw that all the surrounding tree crowns were rustling in the wind, and all the plants in the forest were catering to the power of the wind. , this forest that was slowly dying seemed to come to life in an instant, and even the dirty and pungent smell in the air seemed to be gradually dissipating.
With a thought in his heart, Lomar subconsciously looked at the ancient guardian tree that had just died, and saw some buds growing silently between the skin of the latter, and the branches that had been completely dead and stiff also became green again in the wind. Softened, he looked in the direction of the distant forest in astonishment, and saw the green waves stirring in layers - the next second, a voice that he was very familiar with, but that sounded particularly majestic at the moment, sounded among countless ancient trees. The resonance echoed throughout the forest:
¡°People of the Silver Empire, allies of the Kingdom of Highmountain, I am the Silver Queen, Belsetia Morningstar.
¡°I have returned here and now I speak to you through this forest.
"The enemy's backup has been cut off, the gap in the wasteland has been blocked, the pollution that permeated this land has begun to dissipate, and the most difficult stage has passed - our defense line is still there, and the homeland behind us is also Still there.
"Across the entire wasteland border, various fronts of the Alliance are still fighting fiercely. The entire civilized world has not been defeated by the impact of those monsters. I have received news from the north of the continent, and I am also sure that reinforcements sent from the south will be sent soon. Will reach the front line.
"But before that, the aberrations wandering in the forest barrier are still threatening our home and blood compatriots. These blind and ignorant monsters will continue to spread in the direction of civilized lights driven by instinct, and we It is the frontier of civilization itself.
"Here, as the Silver Queen, and as a fellow mortal, I implore everyone in the forest barrier to continue to fight bravely, to protect the land under your feet, to protect the robes of your comrades around you, and to protect this forest - no matter what No matter what, we can't take a step back.
¡°Compatriots, hold on until reinforcements arrive. After today, no matter where history goes, our descendants will always remember this day¡ª¡ª
"Today, mortals live forever!"
The wind whistled over the forest, and all the leaves and branches roared at this moment. The entire forest barrier seemed to wake up from the twilight in an instant. In the morning light that gradually spread on the horizon, Lomar seemed to hear To the roar of mountains and tsunamis emanating from the forest itself.
"General" a ranger said beside him. The young soldier had a complex expression of confusion and excitement on his face, "That was"
"It's our queen," Lomar took a breath and raised the sword in his hand. He looked at his soldiers, and a blazing flame ignited in his eyes again, "Did you hear the order, soldier? !¡±
"Yes, General!"
¡¡
"Is this okay?"
On the south side of the crash area of ??the Temple of the Stars, at the edge of the forest defense line, the figure of the giant deer Amorn was hidden among the collapsed boulders and dead and burned forest debris. Belsetia stood on the shoulders of the giant deer, looking out Looking at the forest barrier defense line in the distance that was still shrouded in flames of war, he lowered his head and said to Amorn.
"That's enough," Amorn nodded lightly, "This forest has begun to regenerate, but more important than this is the regeneration of 'hope' - not many people have the energy and ability to pay attention to it. The forest as a whole changes, but everyone here hears you.¡±
"I'm going back to them." Belsetia said softly.
Amorn did not speak for a while. He just looked at the forest for a long time and at the Silver People fighting in the forest. After a long time, he squeezed out some deep sounds from his throat:
"ThenI have to go back to where I should be."
