On the eastern city wall of Wild Willow City, a group of elves was gathered together. They were watching the afterglow of the setting sun and enjoying a rare moment of peace and quiet. Along the way, Blanche had gathered many elves who had been scattered. Therefore, most of the elves knew that the outside world had become very chaotic. The beastmen had raised their butcher's knife and killed tens of thousands of their companions. However, there was nothing they could do. The most they could do was condemn and curse. There was also a female elf humming a melancholy tune. Together with the current situation and the perilous situation, it felt like the sun was setting.
"The beastmen are here again!" an elf in charge of sentry duty shouted.
Those elves stood up one after another and looked outside. In the distance, a black line was rolling towards them. The enemy's speed was very fast. It would take them at most half an hour to reach Wild Willow City.
"Blow the alarm," the elf in the lead said slowly.
"Good!" An elf forced a smile. "Let Lady Sunier teach them a lesson!"
"The beastmen already know how powerful Lady Sunier is. They've only been quiet for a few days … and now they're sending an army again. It's not as simple as you think." The elf in the lead shook his head.
In the continuous bloody battles, their military discipline had also improved considerably. When the alarm sounded, almost all of the elves immediately sprang into action.
Sunier quickly arrived on the city wall. Her long golden hair fluttering in the wind had become the battle flag in the hearts of the elves. No matter how fierce the enemy was, as long as they could see Sunier's figure, their hearts would be filled with fighting spirit. Moreover, Blanche had brought the reinforcements they had been dreaming of. There were about seven thousand elves in the city now. Of course, this number was still very small, but it was much better than before!
Athena and Blanche also rushed to the east side of the city. They were in a hurry. Just as they were about to step on the stairs, Blanche suddenly exclaimed in surprise and turned to look in a certain direction. However, she didn't find what she was looking for, so she looked around again.
"What's wrong?" Athena hurriedly asked.
"I think … I saw a familiar face." Blanche shook her head with a bitter smile. "My eyes must be playing tricks on me. How could he be here!"
"Who are you talking about?" Athena was very curious.
"Forget it, let's go up." Blanche did not want to answer.
Athena didn't continue to ask. The two of them quickly climbed up the city wall and stood beside Sunier. Looking at the approaching beastmen army, Athena slowly said, "My Lady, you should rest for a while. It's already late. The beastmen army must rest for the night before launching the attack tomorrow."
"No, let's wait and see," Sunier said softly.
Sunier's eyesight had become very sharp. She could even catch the appearance of the beastmen a few miles away. In the past, the beastmen warriors would only reveal expressions of lust or hatred. But now, she could see undisguised contempt in the eyes of the beastmen warriors. Sunier knew very well what kind of damage she had done to the beastmen in the past few days. She had also proven her strength with her actions. Contempt for the enemy often came from confidence in oneself. The beastmen still dared to come, and they came full of confidence. The meaning behind this was self-evident. Thinking of this, Sunier felt her heart sink.
"Why are the beastmen coming again? I even suspect that they are using Lady Sunier to eliminate the dissidents." An elf leader laughed.
"It's different this time." Sunier sighed. "Prepare for battle."
"Prepare for battle?" Athena was surprised. Then she saw that the beastmen army's vanguard had already crossed the safe distance and were approaching Wild Willow City. Athena couldn't help but take a deep breath. "Are they crazy?! They've come so far and they're not resting at all. They want to attack the city immediately?! "
"We have to fight one way or another. It doesn't matter if it's now or tomorrow." Sunier frowned slightly.
"Lady Sunier, there's something … I don't know if I should say it or not." Blanche said with a hesitant expression.
"Say it." Sunier turned her head and looked at Blanche.
"I have some human friends …"
"You mean Raphael?"
"No, no, I'm talking about some friends who escaped with me from the southwest region." Blanche finally made up her mind. Looking at the relationship between Sunier and Han Jin, she chose to believe Sunier. She shouldn't be wrong, "I didn't mean to hide it. Ever since I came here, the elves have already started a war …"
"Ahem …" Athena hurriedly coughed.
Blanche was stunned for a moment before she realized that Sunier didn't know that the elves had declared war on Han Jin.
"Are you mistaken?" Sunier looked at Blanche suspiciously before looking at Athena. "Didn't the beastmen attack us first? You … Are you hiding something from me?! "
"No, Lady." Athena hurriedly said.
"No?" Sunier was silent for a moment before her tone gradually turned cold. "Blanche said that we've already started a war. Who did you declare war on?!"
At this moment, a mournful horn sounded from the beastmen's formation. Blanche hurriedly said, "Lady, the past … I'll talk to you in detail in the future. The key is how we're going to beat back the beastmen's attack!"
Athena's expression was bitter as she looked at Blanche from behind Sunier. Her meaning was obvious. Do you really want to say it? Blanche's smile had a hint of helplessness. She could hide it for a day or a month, but could she hide it for a lifetime? Sunier had to know sooner or later!
"Alright." Sunier nodded. "What did you want to say?"
"Among my friends, there's a magus called Panven …"
"Magus? That's great! "Athena couldn't help but laugh in surprise.
"But what I value more is not his magic, but his ability," Blanche said with a serious expression. Blanche said seriously, "I'm from the Southwest District, and I used to be good friends with half-elf Lola. How should I put it … Although Lola lost to Nicholas in the end, it wasn't her fault. Nicholas was too scary!"
"I know that," Sunier slowly said, "Raphael has talked to me about Nicholas more than once."
"Lola is an outstanding hero. She possesses extraordinary wisdom, upholds justice, and has a strong personality. If you can get to know her, you will respect her as much as I do …" At this point, Blanche showed a sad expression. "Pan Wen is Lola's most trusted aide! Lola's alliance has stopped Nicholas's invasion several times, and Panven has participated in almost all of them. I think his ability in this aspect is far better than ours. "
"Then what are you waiting for? Invite him out! " Athena said anxiously. She didn't understand why Blanche was still saying that it was useless when the beastmen were getting closer.
"He won't come out even if I invite him out," Blanche said with a bitter smile. "It's because at that time, the elves were hostile to humans. I was worried that Panven and the others would be hurt, so I had to put them under house arrest."
"Hostile to humans?" Sunier slowly asked, "When did this happen?"
Blanche was speechless. Lying was a skill, and it was easy to make up a lie. But the difficult part was that one had to use more lies to prove the truth of the first lie, and the subsequent lies also needed to be proven. If one was careless, they would give themselves away. Blanche was already very careful, but there were too many things that needed to be taken care of, and eventually, a flaw appeared.
"Forget it, I won't ask." Sunier moved her eyes away and said in a low voice, "When we get through this, you have to tell me everything!"
"Okay." Blanche smiled bitterly.
"You mean … he won't come out to help us?"
"He will, but I can't go." Blanche said, "Lady Sunier, it's best if … you can go in person." “
"Why?" Sunier was stunned.
"Because you are Raphael's lover." Blanche didn't say that Han Jin was able to kill Maxwell. This kind of strength was unparalleled. If there was only one person on the continent who could deal with Nicholas, it would be Han Jin. Han Jin and Nicholas had a lot in common. They both stood out at a young age and established their own forces. However, when Nicholas was in his early twenties, his strength definitely couldn't compare to the current Han Jin. Of course, Nicholas's forces were much stronger than Han Jin's. It could also be said that Nicholas had the advantage of being the first mover, and Han Jin's future was more malleable.
"I …" Sunier shook her head slightly, "It's too late. Athena, you go in my place!"
The orc army was getting closer and closer. The elves could clearly see thousands of thunderbirds circling in the sky. Because the elves also had powerful long-range attacks, the flock of thunderbirds maintained a relatively high altitude. Walking in the middle of the orc army were more than a hundred tall mountain giants. There were also more than three thousand orc warriors riding on gale wolves guarding the flanks and front of the army.
The orc army was a little strange. In the past, the orc army was mainly made up of infantry, and the gale wolf warriors only made up a small part of it. Furthermore, the gale wolf warriors weren't supposed to be the ones guarding the flanks. Their job was to seize the opportunity to tear apart the enemy's defensive line. The rest were supplemented by Shamans, Mountain Giants, and Behemoths. However, there wasn't a single infantry among the orcs. Even the weakest of them was a gale wolf warrior, and it was a large group of warriors armed to the teeth! Every warrior was wearing heavy armor. Even the gale wolves they were riding had specially made armor that covered the entire wolf tightly. Only pairs of glowing green eyes, four sharp claws, and a heavy tail could be seen. If the gale wolves were so well protected, there was no need to talk about the warriors riding them!
What surprised the elves even more was that they could feel the magic waves! It wasn't very strong, but it was very widespread and mixed. This proved that many orc warriors were wearing magic armor!
In addition, there were too many mountain giants and shamans. In the past, an orc army with about ten thousand people would have a dozen mountain giants and a hundred shamans. However, the number of mountain giants and shamans in front of them was close to one-third of the gale wolf warriors.
The total strength of this orc army was far less than the previous batches, but every elf could see that this was definitely a veteran army, the best of the best! They couldn't understand. What was going on? Did Forza send his own royal guards?!
About a thousand meters away from Wild Willow City, the orc army finally stopped. A gale wolf warrior suddenly broke away from the main group and quickly ran towards Wild Willow City. Many elves pulled their longbows and aimed at the gale wolf warrior from afar. However, without Sunier's order, they certainly wouldn't attack randomly.
The gale wolf warrior ran all the way to the bottom of the city. Now, all the elves could clearly see what the orc armor looked like. It was simply wrapped in a layer of iron shell. If it weren't for the tusks, they would probably be wearing a helmet. Many elves had laughed at the orcs for being poor and barbaric, but compared to the orcs in front of them, most of the elves in the city felt inferior.
"What's that?" A few sharp-eyed elves noticed that there seemed to be something tied behind the orc warrior.
"Our commander asked me to bring you a message!" The orc warrior roared insolently, then jumped down from the gale wolf. Only then did Blanche and Athena see that there was an elf tied up behind the gale wolf.
The orc warrior pulled the elf down, and as he untied the rope, he kicked the elf to the ground. The orc warrior raised his head and glanced at the city wall with contempt. Then, he suddenly pulled out his curved sword and slashed down. Blood splashed, and the elf's head flew more than ten meters away. The headless corpse fell softly to the ground.
"The moon will rise in two hours." The orc warrior laughed loudly. "Haha … As long as you can defend Wild Willow City before the moonlight shines here, we will immediately withdraw our troops! Do you understand?! "
The elves were in an uproar. They couldn't bear to see their comrade being killed in front of their eyes! Countless elves wanted to shoot the arrows in their hands, but in the end, they slowly let go of their hands. Pairs of eyes focused on Sunier, waiting for her orders.
When Lydia asked Athena to guard Wild Willow City, except for a few hundred elven archers who were relatively strong, most of the elves were not 'elite'. Otherwise, they would have already followed the army to battle. However, all intelligent beings would gradually grow with experience, and the elves were no exception. They had gone through too many trials these days, and their military skills were also honed, so they still controlled themselves. Of course, Sunier had also played a decisive role. She had won the respect of all the elves with her unquestionable strength. If it had been Athena who was in charge of the whole situation, the situation might not have been under control even if she had shouted "Don't shoot!" in time.
"Bastard!!" Blanche was so angry that her face turned green.
"Did you hear that? Say something! "The orc shouted." You must work hard, and don't let us down! Hahaha … "
"My Lady, this is a trap. They want us to exhaust all our combat power in a short period of time!" Athena hurriedly said.
"A trap?" Sunier snorted coldly, then took out her longbow and aimed at the orc warrior.
The orc warrior also saw Sunier's action. He estimated that he might be in danger, so he immediately took out the round shield from the back of the storm wolf and blocked in front of himself, and slowly backed away. This reaction was normal, but normal didn't mean correct. If he continued to maintain his arrogant posture, with his chest out and head up, without any resistance, and prepared to take Sunier's arrow, it was really unknown whether this arrow would be shot.
"Are you ready?" Sunier's clear voice spread far and wide in the yellow plains.
The orc warrior let out a low snort, bent down behind the round shield, and slowly backed away.
Sunier let go of her hand, and a black light shot out like lightning!
The black light hit the edge of the round shield and disappeared in a flash. The orc warrior seemed to have been hit hard, and his body involuntarily spun about three or four times before falling to the ground.
Sunier didn't take his life. The arrow pierced through the round shield and shot into his right upper arm. The fierce force tore off his entire right arm, and an arm and a curved sword were thrown far away. The orc warrior's broken arm was bleeding like a fountain, but he also showed his wildness. He actually got up bit by bit and laughed loudly at Wild Willow City. However, the trembling laughter was very unpleasant, like a ghost crying. "Such powerful archery, haha … hahaha …"
Sunier pulled out a second arrow and shot it out. The arrow pierced through the afterglow of the setting sun and hit the curved sword. It was unknown if the quality of the curved sword was too low, or if Sunier's strength was too great, but the arrow easily pierced through the blade and nailed into the ground.
The orc warrior's face changed. He thought that the arrow had missed, and he was lucky enough to save his life. However, he was seriously injured and couldn't escape from the attack range of the elves. He decided to go all out and ridicule his opponent's archery skills, but in the end, it turned out that she didn't want to kill him at all.
"Go back and tell your commander!" Sunier said coldly. "No matter how long it takes, as long as you can get this curved sword back, I will immediately give Wild Willow City to you!"
The elves who saw this scene were silent for a moment, and then suddenly let out an earth-shattering cheer. This was too satisfying! Too exciting!
Even Athena was a bit excited. She was the commander, so of course she knew the meaning of those two arrows. In war, this kind of agreement was very childish and ridiculous, because no one would agree to this kind of agreement without any binding force. However, they had to respond, or else it would cause a hidden damage to the morale of the elves. Even if they killed the other party on the spot, it wouldn't be able to recover. And Sunier's response was just right. Aren't you crazy? I'm even crazier than you!
Sunier was really becoming more and more decisive as a leader. Athena couldn't help but think of Gao Bin when he was young. Yes, they were all becoming mature bit by bit …
