Chapter 146
Only one day and one night, the expedition team arrived at the tree wall.
On the cliff where the original rift was located, the elves of the Wind-Chaining Forest built a new outpost, and three more elven warriors stationed here were responsible for monitoring the movements of the surrounding ogre.
From the top of the cliff, you can even see the remains of the tree trunks that were burned last time, as well as the remains of ogre everywhere, although they can no longer be seen clearly.
This is where the expedition team officially started. Starting from the "main entrance" of the big tree wall, it will be noticed by the surrounding ogre settlements, and it is more difficult to hide the trail. And this extra "gap" has naturally become the best choice.
The Wind Chaser elves, who have received the news, set up a camp for the expedition team at the outpost for them to repair for a short time; at the same time, they have made sufficient preparations around Loren and the others. When setting off, the war dancers of the Wind-Zhufenglin will launch a surprise attack in advance to attract the attention of the surrounding ogre settlements.
By the time the expedition team arrived, the wall of the tree was already full of elves and warriors who came to see them off-even if it is not clear why, but these dared to cross the tree wall The elven war dancers are worthy of their final blessings.
Konuo, the leader of the Dancer of the Wind-Winding Forest, has been waiting for a black hair wizard for a long time...
"You are here at the right time, these obese monsters We are all moving towards the'gate' gathering, and the number around the big tree wall is decreasing everyday all."
As soon as Loren was ushered into the tent, Kono immediately opened the mouth and said: "If you leave now At least within a week, you are almost impossible to encounter any decent resistance, good luck may even an ogre will not run into."
Looking at the not-so-good-looking expression of the war dancer leader, Loren eyebrows raised: "I guess this is not good news, right?"
"Of course not, it is the first time I have seen so many ogre assembled in one place!" Kono sighed sitting down : "In the past, even hundreds of people were considered large settlements, but the number of people gathered outside the'gate' is probably five or six times this number!"
"They are still still there. At the assembly, this year’s Ogre’s invasion will surpass any previous one-I almost foresee how the pile of corpses filled the entire forest!"
Loren is nodded. , The corners of his mouth curled up slightly with a hint of irony.
Although some of the Elder Elders still didn't believe in themselves before they left, they still made complete preparations. According to Luca, the number of war dancers gathered in the entire eastern forest this time was nearly double that of last year, and there were even warriors invited from the north to join them.
So in fact, they know very well that the invasion at this time will be extremely difficult, and it will be extremely tragic, even related to the fate of all the elven settlements in the entire eastern forest.
Once the big tree wall is lost, the war dancers are basically impossible to intercept hundreds of ogre influx into the forest. Large and small settlements will suffer the same fate as Yongyelin!
As long as "Mezca" still exists in the world, Ogre's invasion will not stop, and will even intensify, until they level the entire ancient wood forest.
"But...there is still some good news." Loren smiled and eased the atmosphere: "According to the time that Ruben count told me in advance, wait for two days and the materials supported by Lotaire Duchy We will arrive in the Morningstar Forest. Weapons, armors, medicines and linens will be delivered continuously."
"With Lothar Duchy's assistance, at least this time the Eastern Elves will not encounter them again. With the shortage of supplies, the battle should go smoother and reduce a lot of unnecessary casualties."
"Yes, the price is to give your duke master a smile." Kono disdain. Nodded, but he didn’t have much to say: “But I’m grateful for helping me so much.”
Loren laughed helplessly and wanted the elves to accept humans immediately, but it was still Unrealistic-this kind of thing takes a long time, and the two sides continue to compromise and tolerate each other.
At least now that it can accept human assistance, it is already a good start. Impossible is too much.
"Although the war dancers in the Wind-Zhufenglin must patrol the entire tree wall and are impossible to leave their duties without authorization, I can go to the Evernight Forest with you." Kono said suddenly, "The last time you We almost lost our lives, this kindness must be repaid."
"This...I think a word of thanks is enough." Looking at the head of the war dancer with a severed arm, Loren He spoke quickly and persuaded with a smile: "I think you should stay, and the war dancers who command the Wind-Winding Forest will be more effective!"
"Why? I think I only have one arm left, not so much. Did you use it in the middle?" Kono frowned and stood up suddenly: "If you are not afraid of losing face, we will go out and try now!"
"I have absolutely no meaning to look down on, in fact I think Respect you!" The black hair wizard quickly reassures the other person: "But you really don’t need to express gratitude in this way, really!"
"Why it’s not necessary—you almost did it. Feng Lin is dying, we should also do it for you once. This has been a tradition for hundreds of years!"
Konuo still has no plans to give in: "even more how, that bastard Luca definitely didn't follow Come, you also need an experienced person to take care of those young and energetic boys for you-they are willing to die for you, but it does not mean that they will listen to you!"
Loren eyebrows raised, no Not to mention what the war dancer leader said is very reasonable, if he is there, it will definitely be of great help to the entire expedition team.
Compared with strength, Kono's experience is more important to him. He must know better how to avoid those ogre settlements and how to contain the necessary enemies.
The black hair wizard who figured this out showed a smile on his face, and took the initiative to extend his right hand: "Please allow me to apologize for what I said and do, and welcome you to join the expedition team, Kono!"
"If you promised it early, it's over?" The war dancer leader patted his hand angrily, and left Loren on the spot: "Also let me talk for so long!"
"Uh..." Loren twitched the corner of his mouth: "By the way, did you bring the things I prepared for you?"
"Bring it!" Turned and walked out of the tent , Loren could still hear this full of breath, some helpless shrugged bladder.
…………The sun in the clear sky has risen to the top, and the entire expedition team is ready to gather outside the camp, waiting for Loren to give his final order.
Every fully armed war dancer present, except for the shot gun behind him and the lance in his hand, the right hand has a glass full of mead, and the thick and mellow liquor fills the air. Enticing.
"There is an old tradition in my hometown, which is to kill a whole glass of wine before you make up your mind to accomplish something."
Loren looked at the glass of wine. Sweeping these war dancers, they opened the mouth and said faintly: "After drinking this glass of wine, I can't look back anyway. So before I do this, I have to ask clearly, you are really ready to die. Already?"
"It's——!!!"
The uniform shout, like a roar tearing through the sky, even the wine glass in his hand was stirring.
"Does anyone still want to quit now?" Loren also yelled out: "I'm so sorry, I shouldn't ask this, because you guys want to quit too late--!"
"hahaha ——!"
Konuo, who was standing next to him, laughed first, followed by another war dancer next to him, and soon one after another, big There was a joyous laughter on the tree wall, as if a grand celebration was being held.
Even the female elves involuntarily curled up the corners of their mouths and stared at the silhouette of the black hair wizard with their wine glasses.
"Did a glass of wine, and see us off." Loren slammed his head up and drank the whole glass of wine in one go. The sweet wine poured the sweet fragrance from the tip of his tongue into his stomach.
Throwing the cup at random behind him, the shrugged Loren turned around and took the 1st Step towards the other side of the tree wall.
"Okay, target Yongyelin, let's set off!"
