At this moment, the tiny Rooseland Village had become a gathering place for the vampires and black bugs.
A black ocean was wriggling on the ground, and within the tall treetops, groups of vampires would come and go from time to time.
Under their protection, the leaders of both sides were quietly discussing something on the platform of the tree hall.
Even though he had gathered an army of tens of thousands of insects and had the protection of 25 demonic mantises, the Insect Lich Bliss was still very respectful in front of the Blood Queen Mary. He didn't dare to show the slightest bit of complacency and arrogance.
With this insect army and bugs that he could command like an extension of his arm, Bliss could take on all the rank 1 Magi of the Crimson Family by himself. But even with such power, he still did not dare to act rashly in front of Mary.
Apart from the fact that she was a rank 2 Vampire, Mary's actions during her apprenticeship had left a deep mark on his soul. Bliss' legs would cramp up and his palms would sweat when he saw Mary, forcing a smile on his face. He was even more respectful than Wenlil.
After half a month of sweeping, the two of them had visited almost all the nearby elven villages.
When their strength began to increase, they were no longer satisfied with these sneaky little fights. This time, they purposely chose to meet here so that they could gather enough forces to launch a sneak attack on the outskirts of Celestial Water City.
An elven town southwest of Celestial Water City — Quelrince Hut.
It was more than 200 miles away from Celestial Water City and had a resident population of about 400 elves. It was one of the satellite towns of Celestial Water City and was mainly responsible for supplying large amounts of fresh fruits to Celestial Water City every day.
Most elves were vegetarians and would not touch greasy or fishy meat for their entire lives. Hence, the fruits provided by Quelrince Hut could be considered the main source of food for the residents of Celestial Water City.
It was with this in mind that the old fox Wenlil urged Mary and Bliss to work together to take down this significant elven town after they met in Rooseland Village. Taking down Quelrince Hut would not only greatly increase their forces, but also disrupt the order of life in Celestial Water City.
For the two ambitious Magi who wanted to make a name for themselves on the west coast, this was something they had to do.
Moreover, the highest level of defense in the Quilllins Hut was only Grade 2, and there were no Grade 3 powerhouses. Attacking such a region wouldn't bring too much risk to them. Therefore, after listening to Wenlier's analysis and introduction, Mary and Bliss couldn't help but feel a little tempted.
This was the advantage of the cooperation between the two sides. Once a decision was made, it could be carried out almost instantly.
As soon as the agreement was made, Billis whistled and disappeared into the jungle with the swarm of insects. On Mary's side, the sound of wings flapping could be heard. Nearly a thousand vampiric bats gathered into a red cloud and stuck close to the treetops of the forest as they flew towards a distant place.
After a short moment, the quiet valley that had been ravaged by the soft feet finally calmed down completely, and only a deathly silence remained.
…
On an isolated island overseas.
The giant floating airship was still floating above the isolated island. Clanking sounds, sizzling sounds of welding, and all sorts of strange sounds of metal colliding and rubbing could be heard continuously.
The previous battle left too much damage to the giant floating airship. For the sake of future battles, no matter how impatient Grim was, he could only obediently squat on this small island that was less than two miles in circumference and slowly wait for the moment when the repair of the giant floating airship would be completed.
At this moment, inside the giant floating airship, all sorts of engineering robots under the command of the goblin technicians and engineers were repairing the spatial furnace and the internal damage of the airship day and night. They were also repairing the shocking battle marks on the flight deck.
The amount of work required was simply astounding!
Fortunately, before entering the Faern Plane this time, the giant floating airship had stored a sufficient amount of metal ingots and alloy materials, so they were not at a loss. Otherwise, they could only quietly return to Shadow Island and seek help from the Pale Witches!
The Magi obviously couldn't stand such a noisy environment, so they all chose to move to the isolated island. There, they used the short intervals of battle to continue some experiments and research that interested them.
In the lower level of the isolated island prison, Grim ordered people to dig out a small stone room and set up a temporary laboratory inside.
What he urgently needed now was the Forest Elves!
Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, Halflings, Pygmies, Kobolds, Goblins … The same race that landed in different regions would undergo a tremendous change. As a Magus, although Grim thought that he had a good understanding of the Elves, that was only from books from the Magus World.
The Elves that Grim knew from books alone included Wood Elves, Golden Elves, Sun Elves, Moon Elves, Grey Elves, Wild Elves, Grassland Elves, Forest Elves … When a certain Elven race was placed in extreme environments, they would even mutate into new and unrecognizable forms.
For example, the Dark Elves (also known as Drow) that lived in the Underworld all year round, the Sea Elves (also known as Naga) that lived in the deep sea, and the Fallen Elves (also known as Satyrs) that lived in the Enchanted Region …
The elves who lived on Calan Continent called themselves the Forest Elves because they lived in the Magic Forest. They basically continued the tradition of the Elves, and based their foundation on Odd Zhuo's archery skills. Regardless of gender, all the Forest Elves were tall, intelligent, beautiful, graceful, and sharp-eyed.
They loved poetry, literature and music the most.
They usually lived in groups deep in the forest, and the largest clan rarely had more than two hundred people.
The Forest Elves' secret villages were ingeniously integrated with the forest, and did their best not to harm the forest itself.
Almost all the Forest Elves were vegetarians. They usually only gathered some natural fruits for food, and rarely hunted forest creatures. Thus, unlike humans, they didn't cut down trees or burn weeds to open up farmland.
It was precisely because they had completely integrated themselves into the Magic Forest that they were praised as "Children of Nature" and "Friends of the Forest." Relying on this strange racial talent, they could travel through the Magical Forest that was filled with thorns, bushes, vines, and enchanted plants without leaving a trace.
The forest, which was difficult for outsiders to traverse, was no obstacle to the Forest Elves.
They could even talk intimately with every flower, every blade of grass and every tree in the forest. Thus, it was almost impossible to track the Forest Elves in the Magic Forest!
That was basically all Grimm knew about the Forest Elves. Apart from that, he had a rough idea of the Forest Elven Army's professions and their characteristics.
Overall, Fain Plane was a fairly well-developed middle-level plane, and wasn't qualified to be mentioned in the same breath as the Sorcerer World. Although the classification of creatures here was similar to that of the Magus World, in terms of quality, it was far too different!
After experiencing several battles, large and small, Grimm estimated that the creatures here were half a rank lower than those in the Sorcerer World. That was to say, the Grade 1 Junior Fighters in Fain Plane were only slightly stronger than the Senior Apprentices in the Sorcerer World, and barely on par with Associate Sorcerers.
Oftentimes, the Grade 1 Fain Plane couldn't even compare to the powerful Associate Sorcerers in the Sorcerer World!
It was no wonder that Grimm, a Grade 2 Junior Fire Wizard, could fight multiple Grade 2 Fain Plane creatures at the same time, and even beat them into a sorry state.
However, the Forest Elves of Fain Plane were not all weak. They had their own advantages and strengths.
Every single Forest Elf was a soldier!
Almost every Forest Elf, even those who were taller than a longbow, would be one of the best archers in the human world. Relying on this unique racial talent of being an archer, the Forest Elves had firmly occupied the Calan Continent, and had repelled many invasions from the Fain Continent.
Moreover, the Forest Elves were a powerful race protected by gods, and there were many Divine Spell Users in the kingdom. These Temple Priests and Elven Oracles could mostly borrow the divine power of gods, and combined it with their proficient natural spells, they had some terrifying power.
In the previous battle with Jintha'Alor, the Elven Oracle Sinnia, who was also Grade 3, had beaten the Dark Witch Uzza so badly that she had to run away like a rat. If Grimm had not summoned the Grade 3 Thunder Dragon in time, and used it with the magic cannons of the floating ship, that battle would have been the last for the Crimson Family.
With Grimm's strength, he might have been able to escape, but most of the Sorcerers who followed him would not be able to escape the pursuit of the Forest Elves.
It was because he had seen the terrifying power of the Elven Oracles that Grimm had once again fled overseas, and used the opportunity to hide on an isolated island to search for the weaknesses of the Forest Elves.
What he wanted to do now was to completely understand the body structure of the Forest Elves, and how their magic organs worked. He wanted to find the simplest and most practical way to kill them.
Of course, the number one priority right now was the plague!
After all, this was not a private plane under his control. Even if he destroyed the Calan Continent and reduced the number of Forest Elves, he would not be the one who would feel the pain.
