Quellings Cottage.
Compared with ordinary elf villages, this place is obviously much more lively and noisy.
Since it is adjacent to Tianshui City, the elves near the west coast always have to pass by the Quillins House if they want to go to this famous city on the west coast.
As a result, it has become a beautiful town where travelers in the past can't help but stop and rest.
In the elf kingdom, there are very few large chambers of commerce like the human kingdom, and most of the commodity transactions and material exchanges are carried out in the form of barter in a small area. Most of the elves have a long lifespan, and most of them love music, painting, flowers, gardens and other artistic fields. They have very low material requirements, and most of the time they pursue a self-sufficient 'perfect' life.
When human beings lament that life is too short and are busy pursuing money and power, the elves like to travel around the Jialan Continent as they like after they grow up. Drink some nectar when you are thirsty, pick some wild fruits when you are hungry, and sleep well if you find a branch at random.
As for power and wealth, as well as personal strength, these have become useless efforts to waste life, and are excluded by most elves from life choices.
It is under the influence of this atmosphere of enjoying life and pursuing elegance that the pace of life of the elves seems a bit procrastinated and lazy.
Although there were several warnings on the west coast, most of the attacked locations were located on the edge of the coast. Therefore, even if Tianshui City sent a large number of Pegasus knights and hippogryph shooters to patrol the edge of the coast, the elves in the Quellings hut Still appearing to be slow and orderly, enjoying every day of his life to the fullest.
As night fell, the pedestrians going to and from the Quellings hut gradually began to thin out.
Although the magic forest is the home of the elves, when night falls, those ferocious beasts will also come out to make trouble. So it is not particularly necessary, and the elves don't like to walk in the magic forest under the night.
At the foot of a low cliff three miles away from the Quellings hut, Billis in a black robe was negotiating with Mary in a low voice.
After 5 days of day and night travel, the bug witch Billis finally managed to lurk near the Quillins hut with the bug army. And here, how to proceed next depends on the meaning of Blood Queen Mary.
Therefore, after the two parties met here, everyone remained silent and silently obeyed the old fox Wenlier's assignment.
"... This place already belongs to the stronghold of the elves near Tianshui City. It is wishful thinking for us to encircle and clean up the elves in a leisurely way like before. Once we stay here for too long, the distance of 200 miles will be difficult for the defenders of Tianshui City. It’s nothing. So whether we win or lose, we have to fight fast, and the time to kill the Quellings Hut must not exceed five hours.”
"Five hours is too short! Even if the siege of the elves goes smoothly, there is not much time to clean up the resources inside..." Billis said with a gloomy face.
"Master Billis, don't forget that we are still in a dangerous place. Once the location of the leak is covered by elf mobile units, it will be very difficult to get rid of them and escape to the edge of the coast. Therefore, we must not stay here for long. 5 hours is enough for us to fight off the elf guards in the town, and then plunder them... "
Mary stood aside with a straight face, not paying too much attention to the negotiations between Wenlier and Billis. She looked to the northeast, frowned, and always felt an indescribable heavy pressure in her heart that made her breathless.
Is this action exposed? Or will there be any changes in the actions for a while? Or is there some big person nearby
All of a sudden, too many possibilities came one after another, which made her a little restless!
"There's no need to argue!" Mary said decisively, "We only have 4 hours. Once the 4 hours are up, no matter what the fight is like at that time, we will break up immediately... If you are not afraid of death, you can stay and continue to sweep, and all the gains will be counted." Yours, I don't want to divide it!"
Billis certainly didn't dare to be stubborn in front of Mary, and silently nodded in agreement.
Since time is tight, there is no need to slowly arrange, first encircle and then fight!
After a few people made a decision, they immediately split up and started to act.
Bliss's bug army was always by his side. When he walked into the forest, he raised his hands lightly and shouted, "Come out, my people!"
As soon as Billis's voice fell, the forest glade with a radius of 100 meters immediately boiled.
The black soil swelled up into circular mounds like waves, and as the soil on the top of the mounds cracked and crumbled, large strands of black beetles gushed out from them, instantly turning the place into a terrifying scene. Insect sea.
Billis's black body instantly collapsed, scattered into hundreds of black worms and blended into the swarm of worms, converging into a terrifying torrent, frantically rushing towards the Quellings hut not far away.
Behind the insect swarm, a large group of vampire bats also began to rush forward under the cover of the lush tree canopy.
Under the dim moonlight, a terrifying scene is about to take place in the forest!
...
Warren is just an ordinary elf archer!
It was a great honor that he was selected into the garrison team of Quellins Lodge and became a trainee elf warrior.
And the task he needs to do every day is to guard the guard post on the edge of the town to prevent wild beasts and monsters in the forest from breaking into the town at night.
Night watch work is actually very boring.
If it wasn't for the clever and lovely 'cat's head' to accompany him and chat with him, Warren might not be able to resist the long and lonely night.
'Owl Head' is an owl that grew up with him, and it can be regarded as his animal companion that accompanies him day and night.
However, something is clearly out of the ordinary today!
As soon as it was dark, Maotou appeared a little anxious and nervous, flying into the forest from time to time and circling a group, as if looking for something. But it was dark and dense, and it returned without success almost every time.
Just when the bright moon in the sky had just hung on the dome, this animal companion, who had always been calm and composed, hovered around the guard post like a demon, and then quickly threw himself on Hua Lin's shoulder and neighed loudly.
"Enemy... Dangerous..."
Through quick communication, Warren only asked some simple information from the cat's head.
He is not those druids, who can use natural magic to talk directly to animals. Warren was able to ask these questions because of his familiarity and understanding with Maotou.
Are there enemies approaching the sentry post
Hua Lun quickly carried the longbow, put on the quiver, put on the dagger, and held a tree vine with both hands, and rushed up to the tall tree next to him as lightly as an ape.
Finding a hidden place and covering his body with dense leaves, Hua Lun bowed his bow and set an arrow, holding his breath and scanning the forest under the night.
As a trainee member of the garrison, he would be reprimanded by his superiors if he sent out alarm calls without seeing the enemy. So Warren could only silently observe the movement around him.
When he calmed down and absorbed all his mind into the night wind, besides the rustling sound of the wind blowing the forest leaves, he also vaguely heard some strange sounds.
chirping chirping...
It is like the sound of insects gnawing dead wood, and the sound of insects rubbing their carapaces.
But with such a dense sound, could it be that the nearby bugs are rioting
At the moment when he was inexplicably surprised, Hua Lun finally realized something was wrong.
The earth is moving...
Under his careful scrutiny, the black earth in the distance seemed to be wriggling, rushing over like a wave without sound.
The chirping is getting louder!
Even the black night could not block Hua Lun's keen vision, his complexion finally changed drastically!
This... It's not the ground that is surging, but... It's a group of black beetles that are so huge that it is difficult to count them.
Like a black sea, the swarm was moving at a frantic pace across the woodlands, across the hills, and across the creeks towards Quellings Hut.
drop…
The shrill siren finally sounded.
The feathered arrow in Hua Lun's hand shot out with a bang, and instantly sank into the black sea of insects.
Not knowing if some insects were shot to death, Hua Lun quickly bent his bow and set his arrows, preparing for the second attack.
At this gap, a strange sound of wings flapping among the canopy of the dense forest reached his ears.
Warren raised his head in shock, and what he saw was a big furry mouth that was expanding rapidly.
...
At the moment when the piercing siren sounded, a graceful and vigorous female elf walked out of the tree hall in the center of the lively and noisy Quellins hut, looking in the direction of the siren.
At almost the same moment, Alan, the vice-captain of the garrison, ran up to the female elf panting while pressing her quiver.
"It seems to be a siren coming from the southwest! Have you ever sent someone to check?" This shrewd and capable female elf is the captain of the town's garrison, and when she saw the deputy captain rushing back, she hurriedly asked.
As the town's military chief, she is not as crude and ignorant as ordinary elves.
For a while, the edge of the west coast has not been peaceful!
If it was the warning signal from the southwest, then things could be serious.
"Someone has been dispatched. Tonight, Hua Lun is on duty in the west, and the sound seems to be the warning signal from the west guard. Do you need to notify all members of the garrison to assemble?"
"Assemble!" The female elf captain was still looking into the distance: "I always feel that something bad might happen this night..."
However, before the vice-captain went down to ring the bronze bell in the center of the village, there was already commotion in the southwest direction.
This turmoil is not a turmoil in one place, but a comprehensive one.
Visible to the naked eye, the southwestern edge of the Quellings hut was like a gust of wind blowing, and the places it went immediately crackled into chaos. Many elves screamed with their necks stretched, and quickly climbed to a higher place while running away.
It seems that some terrible beasts rushed into the town...
"Call your people immediately, I'll rush over to have a look..."
The female elf didn't hesitate to think about it, she said a word, jumped off the tall tree, and ran quickly towards the source of the turmoil.
