The sun hung high on the sunny dome, and the elf soldiers who were still alive in the sun did not have even a little smile on their faces.
They won, but the price was too heavy - only one of the six elf soldiers who climbed the tree wall survived, and the rest were disabled. Almost no one was intact.
As the main force of the whole battle, the war dancers in the chase wind forest were almost dead and injured, and more than half of the war dancers in the morning star forest who followed Luca were killed, leaving only more than a dozen.
They should not only cover the inexperienced young elves, but also face the siege of two or three ogres at the same time, and even drag as many enemies as possible when necessary, resulting in heavy casualties and almost annihilation.
More importantly, in order to recapture the big tree wall, it had to be destroyed. It is ironic that the ugly gap has become a sign that the elves have repelled the ogre invasion.
The surviving elves did not have any joy. On the contrary, there was only endless fatigue in their eyes and a trace of unspeakable shame.
The brothers around them, the bravest soldiers, died in the battle with the ogre, but they were able to survive - nothing more painful for their proud heart.
Throughout the day, the Elves were gathering the bones of the war dead - some could still be buried, some were incomplete, and more... They had been eaten into their stomachs by ogres and could no longer be found.
As for ogres, most of them have turned into coke in the fire, or fell off a cliff, and have long become a pool of invisible rotten meat.
After lighting the tree wall, the completely exhausted black haired wizard has fallen into a semi coma. The elves set up a simple tent for him near the edge of the battlefield for the human guest to rest.
Although reluctantly, the fairy Leia stood guard for him and became the "private guard" of the human wizard; And every elf soldier passing outside the tent will leave only after bowing respectfully or nodding respectfully.
Salute to a human who is not his own ethnic group, which is unimaginable for the elves of the ancient wood forest. Instead, any outsider told them that he would thank a human in the future, and I''m afraid he would raise a spear to duel with that person.
But now all the living elves know that without the human wizard, the counterattack would have failed long ago, and these last war dancers in the wind forest will be completely ended by the ogre settlement on the tree wall.
Loren Turin not only saved them, but also saved the whole chase wind forest settlement.
Even if it was just this gratitude, the elves walked quietly and slowly when passing the tent, unwilling to make any more noise, for fear of disturbing the rest of the human Wizard - although their footsteps were already very light and there was little movement at all.
Only the female wizard outside the tent knew that the black haired wizard had already woke up, but... Liya''s emerald eyes glanced into the tent, and there was a faint color of worry in her eyes.
"Can you, can you say that again?"
Luca in the tent was stunned. It was not that he was not stable enough. It was what the black haired wizard said in front of him that made him incredible.
Leaning against the tent, Loren, who has not fully recovered, still looks tired - although burning the trunk actually borrows the residual void power, controlling it alone has exhausted Loren''s energy.
If some guy named Asriel hadn''t helped him share part of it, he wouldn''t be much better now than after the last fight with vampires. I''m afraid he''s still in a coma.
"I can understand your surprise. No one can believe it." in the face of the shocked Luca, Loren calmly showed a slightly tired expression: "but this is the fact - the ogres were not a voluntary invasion, but ordered by some force."
This is the answer that Loren came up with after thinking, which can be accepted by Luca.
Perhaps everything looks like an accident, but there will be no coincidence in the world, especially when these "coincidences" become too eye-catching.
The destroyed tree wall, the sudden invasion of the ogre settlement, the huge residual void power... And the completely crazy suicide of the ogre after the back road was broken, all verified his guess.
These can no longer be explained by coincidence. There must be something very special manipulating them.
"Special power..." Luca was stunned and looked at Loren''s eyes, which became a little complicated. After hesitating for a long time, he slowly said, "is it... A wizard?"
"We can''t rule out this possibility, but ordinary wizards can''t master such a powerful power." Loren shook his head. "Forgive me for being frank, if that''s the case, it''s not the nobles but the wizards who rule the world."
Hearing this reasonable explanation, Luca nodded in agreement and was very vaguely relieved - obviously, after seeing this power, he had begun to be afraid of human wizards.
If every human wizard can do this, the ancient wood forest will no longer be the barrier of the elves. The human army can invade their land unscrupulously. Any counter attack in front of such a terrible force is just a joke.
Even if Luca agrees to form an alliance with the Principality of lottel, it does not mean that he is unprepared for the human world - even on the contrary, one of his purposes in contacting shenlinbao is to find out the strength of the principality to ensure the safety of the morning star forest and the whole eastern elves.
"In fact, I suspect that this is a force that has gone beyond the reality." Loren explained as much as possible to make the other party understand: "this is also one of the reasons why the igniter will fail, because the residual force at the top of the tree wall is too strong to produce a restraining effect after a few days."
"And since the other party can do it for the first time, it will certainly do it for the second time. Before the goal is completely completed, it will not stop. The east of the ancient wood forest will usher in an unprecedented ogre invasion!"
Loren''s expression became serious: "you must make a decision as soon as possible - we just beat back their attack, and according to the current situation, I''m afraid the other party already knows, so the next invasion will not be long and will start at any time!"
"I know very well." Luca painfully closed his eyes and looked very determined: "this time, no matter what the elders say, the whole elf settlement in the East must unite in order to continue to survive; otherwise, today in the wind forest is the tomorrow of all settlements!"
"With all due respect, what you need to do... May be more than just preparing for war."
"More than just preparing for war?" Luca was stunned for a moment. "What do you mean?"
"I don''t know how to explain to you." Loren hesitated and glanced at the "black feather Eagle" on the side of the tent intentionally or unintentionally: "but as I said, this is not a simple ogre settlement invasion."
Although a guy named "Asriel" is still unwilling to tell the truth, he has guessed a general idea that what can make one monster feel threatened is undoubtedly another monster.
And from his expression, the other party may even be stronger than him, and even has posed a direct threat to him. Otherwise, Asriel would not be so urgent and even willing to take the initiative to help himself.
"If we really want to solve all this, we must first find out the source of the problem - if there is no accident, the final answer may be beyond your imagination!"
"If it can''t be solved... Maybe this invasion will never come to an end!"
"It will never end..." the shocked Luca muttered and looked at Loren with a grim look: "so... Have you ever met such an enemy before?"
Slightly opened his mouth, but Loren hesitated to say something, and his dark pupils glittered with a strange luster.
"No, this is the first time."
