The airship glided slowly above the clouds.
Dozens of metal eyeballs the size of human heads floated in the forest below the airship, emitting a faint blue glow. They shuttled back and forth between the lush treetops and the twisting vines, constantly shooting out faint red rays to scan every suspicious shadow in the forest.
With the detection runes and infrared rays embedded in the metal eyeballs, anything with life signs could not escape their detection and scanning. With the help of the eyeballs, even if the Wizards were high up in the sky, they could still see the situation below like the back of their hands.
The metal eyeballs were huge magical machines. From the outside, they did not seem to be equipped with any offensive weapons. However, if they were attacked by an enemy, they only needed to increase the intensity of the red rays to quickly change from infrared scanning to scorching rays.
The scorching rays with an attack power of up to 30 degrees might not be enough to deal with high-grade magical beasts, but it was more than enough to deal with ordinary forest beasts.
Therefore, along the way, the red scorching rays in the forest sizzled. Every red ray that flashed by meant the death of a lowly life. Four-legged snakes, horned goats, mountain wolves, owls, turtledoves … These harmless forest creatures were completely annihilated this time. They did not even have time to understand the situation before they were killed by the floating metal eyeballs.
The metal eyeballs were like the coldest and bloodiest killers. They would not let go of any living creatures with warmth and life force. They formed groups of three and formed a large killing net. They followed a fixed route and killed all the living beings they sensed along the way.
Driven by the ferocious killing intent of the metal eyeballs, the alert forest creatures had no choice but to run out of their caves, tree holes, or crypts and escape into the depths of the forest without looking back. Those who were slightly slower in escaping were killed by the terrifying scorching rays one after another.
This was an area near the coastline. According to the information Grimm obtained, there should be a small Elven village nearby.
However, as an outsider, even with Tamo's guidance, it was still very difficult to find a well-hidden Elven village in the forest. Therefore, Grimm had no choice but to use this method to alert the Elves.
They had suffered a huge loss on the West Coast and lost one witch. The other, who had been seriously injured, had managed to save her life after some recuperation, but it would be difficult for her to recover her fighting strength in a short period of time. Because of this, Grim couldn't wait to find these Elves and slaughter them.
In the floating warship high above the clouds, dozens of light screens were constantly changing the scene, completely displaying everything that was happening in the forest below.
Every time the metal eyeball discovered a troublesome magical beast or magical plant, Grim would use the communication device beside him to call for Tigula, who was following behind the eyeball. Therefore, the three Magical Mechanical Warriors took turns to attack and continuously cleaned up these thorns that suddenly appeared.
No matter how powerful and strange the forest magical beasts and magical plants were, they could not withstand the bombardment of metal bullets or the burning of magic flames. Soon, they fell under the muzzles of the Magic Mechanical Warriors.
Finally, with the appearance of the small-scale Beast Horde, Grimm found some clues.
An antelope and a brown bear were mixed in the Beast Tide and were frantically fleeing into the distance. However, the strange thing was that no matter how they ran, they seemed to be inseparable and never separated.
"Hmph, it's those low-grade Druids that can transform again!" Grimm sneered and quickly issued a series of orders.
The large net that the metal eyeball had pulled shifted slightly, silently avoiding the antelope and the brown bear's position, and turned to another line of defense. In the dark, where the opponents could not detect, a Thorn Scorpion and a red-eyed, sharp-mouthed bat quietly followed them.
After the antelope and the brown bear escaped the danger zone, they strangely gathered together and muttered a few words. Then, the antelope continued to jump behind the metal eyeball, observing the situation from afar. The brown bear, on the other hand, rushed into the forest without looking back and ran somewhere far away.
In the evening, the Thorn Scorpion and Old Fox Venlier sent a message from afar at the same time.
They found the Elven Hut!
Therefore, without hesitation, the floating airship descended into the clouds. After returning the metal eyeball and the Magic Mechanical Warriors to the deck, it once again rose into the clouds and disappeared without a trace under the cover of the night.
The cautious antelope seemed to have sensed that something was wrong, and immediately turned around and ran in the direction of the Elven Hut.
…
Elven Hut.
This was an Elven village adjacent to the coastline.
The village was not big, and there were only a hundred or so Elves living in it.
There were no tall buildings made of stone or exquisite residences here, only small wooden houses and wooden platforms built on the branches of tall ancient trees. The treehouses were very simple, but between the treehouses, there were hanging bridges made of rattan and wooden planks.
When the breeze blew through the forest, the rattan hanging bridges swayed, and the flowers and plants on them fluttered in the wind. It was very pleasing to the eye.
Since the population of the small village was too small, it was impossible to raise large magical beasts and fierce magical plants. Therefore, the regular soldiers of the village were Flower Fairies, Sword Dancers, and Elven Archers. As for the only two junior Druids, because they were born here, they chose to stay in the Green Hut.
It was already nightfall. On the tallest ancient tree in the village, the female Elven Captain Lefia stood on the wooden platform where the Elves practiced archery, silently looking into the distance.
Lefia slowly came to the edge of the platform, closed her eyes, and used the power of her soul to silently sense the message coming from the distance.
This was the home of the Elves.
Every blade of grass, every tree, every flower, every fruit, even every ancient tree, every vine, every small flower, every small animal in the forest, Lefia could call out their names and talk to them intimately. No one could catch the Elves in the forest because all the plants and animals in the forest were their companions. They would help them eliminate all traces of their existence and become their eyes that were everywhere.
Just like Lefia standing in the wind, even if she did not open her eyes, she could vaguely sense all the movements and unusual movements within a few miles.
If there was danger, the forest would warn her and the animals would let out strange cries. Even the rustling of the ancient trees in the wind could give her the necessary information.
But for some reason today, a dangerous aura lingered in her heart, but she could not sense where it came from at all.
During the day, there was a terrifying aura coming from the southern forest.
Out of consideration for safety, Lefia sent the only two junior Druids in the village to investigate. According to the Sid that came back? Sharp Teeth's description, there seemed to be a group of terrifying monsters that were wildly slaughtering the animals in the forest.
There were quite a few of them and they were very strong, so the two Druids could only hide in the shadows and silently follow them, not daring to come out and chase them away.
When the sky darkened, Lefia was worried about the Druid outside, so she sent out two Flower Fairies to help. But up until now, there had been no news at all.
This was what Lefia was most worried about.
"Big sister Lefia, big sister Lefia … …"
When the female elven captain was the most worried, a young male and female elven boy and girl ran to her side.
"Big sister Lefia, quickly come and see! I was able to hit two willow leaves just now … … "
The young elven girl pulled Lefia's arm and gently shook it. The arrow she raised high in the air had two thin willow leaves pierced through it.
"You only hit two willow leaves, what's the big deal … Sister Lefia, look at me, I hit three …" Another young elf was also proudly holding an arrow with three willow leaves pierced through it.
The young elven girl immediately pouted and angrily glared at the young elven youth.
For the elves who were proficient in archery, shooting at a fixed target was something only those little fellows who hadn't reached adulthood could do. If one wanted to become an elven archer, the most basic requirement was to shoot through five light willow leaves with one arrow.
And the two little fellows in front of her could shoot through two and three, this was already very rare!
Lefia forced a smile and reached out to gently rub their soft and smooth short green hair. She was about to say something encouraging when she suddenly found that everything in front of her was dark. It seemed that the whole world had become dark and gloomy.
The female elven captain looked up in fright.
Only then did he realize that the bright moon hanging high in the sky seemed to be covered by something, causing the entire Elven Village to lose its moonlight.
With Lefia's sharp eagle eyes, she naturally saw it clearly.
It was not the clouds, but rather an incomparably large metal ship falling from the sky, aiming at the elven hut below.
And the shape of the other side, was that of Sid? That terrifying evil monster that Fang had described!
Enemy attack … …
Amidst the mournful cries, battle magical machines up to four meters tall wrapped in strange metal shells descended from the sky along the metal ropes. Thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud! They landed everywhere in the elven village.
In the next second, the metal barrage crazily shot towards every moving individual. One after another, goblin arrows ejected foot-long tail flames and whistled towards the treehouses.
