She, who defied the mainstream development path of the elves and had muscles comparable to male elves, unexpectedly leaped to level-3 in one fell swoop.
At that time, it caused quite a stir in the Elf Kingdom!
The elves had a deep-rooted problem of judging people by their appearance. Even though Ai Jiaye, the Spear of Vengeance, had the strength of level-3, most elves still couldn't recognize her "bravery" and "valiance." After all, according to the tradition of the forest elves, elegant speech, noble temperament, and beautiful appearance were the criteria to judge an elf's status.
As for the methods and combat strength of bloody battles, the forest elves who had lived in peace for a long time didn't think that it was necessary for them to continue their happy lives!
Therefore, even with Ai Jiaye's strength and prestige, she was still excluded from the mainstream society by the high elves of the Elf Kingdom.
However, when Sylsa's subordinates heard that Ai Jiaye, the Spear of Vengeance, was near Sky Water City, they were overjoyed. Under their strong push, a mission was quickly issued in the name of the main temple of the God of Elves.
…
The battle in Quellins House was still ongoing.
Compared to the ferocious sea of insects, the elves' resistance was slightly weaker.
Due to the lack of strong fortresses and insurmountable natural barriers, the wide and flat forest paths, tree bridges, and crisscrossing rattan ropes in this elf town became a broad path for the insects to pass through.
The elves' activity space was getting smaller and smaller.
Most of the elves were even forced to the treetops and relied on the dense cobweb-like rattan ropes and tree bridges to move quickly on the tall ancient trees. However, at this moment, the swift demonic mantises with a series of phantoms behind them became more and more terrifying.
They were like vicious wolves lurking outside a flock of sheep, rapidly approaching the elves who were struggling to resist under the cover of the dense treetops. Once they seized the opportunity to pounce, their lightning-fast flying speed and sharp sickle forelimbs that were comparable to magic weapons almost completely suppressed the elven sword dancers and archers.
While the forest elves were still running on the treetops, the mantises madly caught up to them and chopped off the treetops one by one.
The elves who fell off the treetops didn't have the chance to stand up again before they were overturned by the swarm of insects. Even if they resisted with all their might, it was difficult for them to escape the tragic fate of being bitten by thousands of insects!
Blitz, who was hidden in the sea of insects, didn't seem to care about the casualties of the elves. He used the insects as cover to devour and devour many elven warriors. As for the ordinary elves, they were dragged underground after being bitten to death. There, white eggs were stuffed into their bodies.
Many of the elves' corpses were already swollen like rubber balls!
With the nourishment of the elves' flesh and blood, every time an egg exploded, dozens to hundreds of black larvae would crawl out of it. These black larvae fed on flesh and blood, maturing and growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When the sticky liquid on the surface of their bodies solidified into a tough shell that could not be damaged by blades, they would crawl out of the ground and join the mighty swarm of insects.
It was precisely by relying on this method of instant reproduction and instant maturation that not only did the boundless black sea of insects not shrink after the battle began, they even showed signs of flourishing.
Other than having sharp fangs and limbs, the insect swarms in the past did not have any powerful abilities or means. But now, as the Insect Lich Blitz's strength increased, the insect swarms had also evolved some strange abilities.
The current Insect Lich Blitz was only at Grade 1, and the only ability he could bestow upon the insect swarms was Burrow.
Such a large insect army was able to hide from the elven patrols and flying scouts, sneaking all the way to this Quilllins Hut because of the insect swarms' ability to burrow.
One could imagine that as Blitz's abilities improved, the insect swarms would also gain new combat abilities.
If the insect swarms were soldiers under Blitz's control and command, then the demonized mantises were the generals and heroes of the swarm. Although they were few in number, each of them possessed powerful combat abilities that far surpassed ordinary insects.
Just the current demonized mantises alone had many strange abilities such as burrowing, flying at top speed, flickering shadows, killing ferociously, and confinement spells. They were like assassins hidden in the insect swarms. Once they reached the enemy's side, it would be extremely difficult for the enemy to escape unscathed.
The strange confinement spell was like an invisible shackle. As long as the demonized mantises' scythe-like forelimbs were stained with the enemy's blood, the enemy would never be able to escape. The only way to escape was to kill these demonized mantises!
In fact, if one were to compare the number of Grade 1 warriors between the insect swarms and the elven guards, the guards of Quilllins Hut would definitely be able to defeat the less than 30 demonized mantises. But under the relentless onslaught of the insect swarms, the elves simply could not defend themselves, let alone form a formation to resist the demonized mantises.
One by one, the elven swordsmen and elven archers were scattered by the insect swarms, and could only escape in twos and threes using the trees.
With such a loose team, once they encountered a swarm of demonized mantises, they naturally had no chance to retaliate or resist. As long as the demonized mantises were forced off the trees, the swarm of insects would naturally devour any opponent.
In such a one-sided battle, the demonized mantises would occasionally face the elves' courageous counterattacks. From the beginning of the battle until now, three demonized mantises had died on the battlefield, but the elves had already lost over a hundred Grade 1 warriors.
As for the elven powerhouses who performed exceptionally well, as long as they showed themselves on the battlefield, Mary and a group of Blood Knights would take advantage of the situation and kill them.
No matter how strong the elven powerhouses were individually, as long as they had not reached the invincible Grade 3 level, they would not be able to withstand the encirclement of multiple Grade 2 vampires.
Apart from Mary and the three Blood Knights, there was another group of blood elves with strange abilities in the red cloud floating above the forest. There were only 17 blood elves, and only three of them were Grade 2. The new Grade 2 blood elf was the female elf leader that Mary had just embraced.
At this moment, there were not many changes to her body, appearance, and weapons.
The only obvious change was that her eyes … were blood-red.
This female elf, who had previously fought bravely for the forest elves without a care for her own safety, had now transformed into a cold and ruthless blood elf archer. The arrows that were imbued with blood-red energy streaked across the sky, and with every arrow, an elf would fall from the trees with a shrill cry.
Among the three Grade 2 blood elves that the Blood Queen Mary had embraced, there were two Sharpshooters, and the remaining one was a weapons master. Now that they had the ability to suck blood, their attacks became more and more unbridled.
If it was said that when they were still forest elves, their abilities were only suitable for combat. But now that they had become blood elves, they had been modified to be completely suitable for killing!
Fighting and killing sounded similar, and there was not much difference. But on a bloody battlefield where life and death could be decided in the blink of an eye, the difference between them would be the difference between life and death!
Every move of the elves pursued beauty and elegance, and they could not do vicious moves such as using their comrades to block a knife, rolling on the ground, or exchanging injury for injury. On the other hand, these modified blood elves would charge to the side of their opponents at the slightest provocation. Even if they were to suffer more injuries, they would still exchange injury for injury.
They did not even care when their opponents' swords cut their exquisite and perfect faces.
And this was precisely what the forest elves could not do!
… …
At this point in the battle, the forest elves were already showing signs of collapse.
When the black sea of insects engulfed the entire elven town, the elven garrison, who had lost their geographical advantage, finally blew the horn to retreat.
The vast empty space in the forest was filled with black swarms of insects.
The elves could only jump around on the tall ancient trees, fleeing for their lives in the direction of the faraway Sky Water City.
At the start, they were still grouped in twos and threes, covering each other's retreat.
However, when the horde of Demonized Mantises launched a surprise attack, these loose troops were instantly torn apart. The elves could only give up on the thought of resisting, turning around and fleeing frantically.
On the tall ancient trees, the black figures of the demonic mantises were like terrifying death gods roaming the battlefield. Wherever they went, the elves that were caught by them could only desperately counterattack and cause some damage to them. There was no way for them to escape.
One by one, the slender figures were caught by them, and they quickly fell to the ground. What was left was an indescribably tragic scene that repeated itself again and again …
With the demonic mantises around, there were very few elves that could escape from the Quillings Hut!
However, the three Tree Warriors that were the guardians of the elven town had also brought extremely terrifying casualties to the insect army. Whether it was the insect swarm or the Vampire swarm, they did not have powerful long-range attacks. Thus, when faced with the thick-skinned Tree Warriors, they could not think of any other way to deal with them other than using the swarm of insects to drown them.
In the end, the insect army commanded by the Insect Lich Bliss cut down the three 'death warriors' that were left behind at the cost of 50,000 casualties.
It only took an hour and a half for the insect demon allied army led by Mary and Bliss to defeat the elven garrison.
Then, they spent another hour chasing and killing the three Tree Warriors. By the time they returned to the Quillings Hut, a full three hours had passed. Thus, there was only an hour left for them to collect the spoils of war and plunder the elves' resources.
