Vol 2 Chapter 49: The Wind Dancer (Part 1)

"Why didn't you come until now ?!"
When Loren and his team rushed to the Windy Forest, they came out to "greet" them with an elven war dancer who had been scarred all over his body.
The wound that had left his left arm was bandaged and was still bleeding; the leather armor on his body was also ragged, and there was an extremely fierce crack on his shoulder. Can tear his half apart.
"We sent messengers to spread the news three days ago, why did you come until now ?!" The wounded war dancer gasped violently and asked again, bloodshot eyes staring at Luca: "From Morning Star Forest is here, as long as one day is enough! "
"We were attacked on the road." Lucca's tone was a lot paler when he saw the other party look like this: "And too suddenly, it was too late to organize manpower!"
"What about this guy ?!" The one-armed war dancer pointed up the spear with his right hand and pointed at Loren, staring at the face of the dark-haired wizard: "Isn't he an elf?"
"Take your spear away, this is a guest of Morningstar Forest, to help us!" Luca pushed away the spear of the other party and looked back and introduced to Loren: "His name is Kono, and he is chasing the wind. The leader of the war dancers in Lin Ju, the big tree wall is their patrol. "
"It's an honour to know you." The black-haired wizard took the initiative to take a step and bowed to the other person with a calm smile: "If you don't mind, you can call me Loren."
"The stubborn people of Morning Star Forest will also have human guests?" The war dancer named Kono twitched his mouth very unbelieving, and then shook his head: "It doesn't matter anymore, since Luca is willing to believe you, then Come with me."
Following Kono's Loren and the war dancers through the outer woods, came to the wind forest settlement.
Compared to the Morning Star Forest, the settlements here are much smaller-the low cloud crown trees are only similar to ordinary ancient wood, and simple wooden fences and fruit trees surround the entire settlement, scattered around the cloud crown trees. There are a number of large and small wooden long houses, of which the most exquisite one is under the Yunguan tree.
But what Loren noticed was not this.
The whole settlement was filled with a sad and desperate atmosphere, and the breath of death seemed to be transformed into a shadow here. There were injuries all over the place. The elves lying silently under the tree and in the shade were everywhere; the elves passing by were in a hurry, but they all had a numb expression, and they could not even see whether they were sad or angry;
Every time I walked through a wooden house, Loren could clearly smell the thick smell and the smell of medicine, and even the ulceration of wounds, like the smell of carrion.
The one lost one's soul, so close to the numb look, what kind of battle did it experience to become this look?
Other than what makes Loren feel most awkward, is that this settlement looks really out of space. As for the reason, he felt that he might have guessed partly.
Liya and Luca, a group of war dancers, also kept silent. The tragedy in front of them has exceeded their imagination, and even reached the point where they could not even speak.
"We waited for you for three days." Kono, who was walking in front of him, suddenly said: "The entire wind-winding forest has stood by the wall of big trees for three days."
"Sorry, we should hurry up." Lucca, weak in tone, opened his mouth: "I ..."
"It's needless to say." Walking to the long house under the Yunguan tree, Kono, with his spear, reluctantly pushed open the door: "Please come in, all the guests in the wind forest, please forgive us Poor hospitality. "
The crucible was placed on the bonfire in the center of the long house hall, and the strong smell of the medicine filled the whole room. Although the taste was enough to choke the dead, the dancers who walked in silently one by one-after seeing the tragic situation of Zhu Fenglin with their own eyes, no one can accuse them of anything.
"What the is going on?"
Before sitting down, Liya couldn't help but say: "Why did the ogres invade suddenly, and why did the big tree wall crack, this ... this is simply impossible!"
"We also think it's impossible, but it just happened." Kono, who looked numb, looked up at her. "What do you think the wind-like forest is now like?"
The female elf in the utterance lowered her head and stopped speaking.
"Please forgive me, Liya, she is the first person to know the news, and it is inevitable that she will be so excited." Loren said slowly, and his tone was as gentle as possible: "We just want to know what happened. What can be done to resist this invasion-it is important to know why! "
The dark-haired wizard ’s sincere gaze made some excitement Kono calm down slightly, and said hardly: "It was roughly four days ago ..."
Among the "defense lines" of the entire large tree wall, there is only a small area without hills and cliffs, and it becomes the only entrance for each invasion of the ogres, and it is also the only defense line that the elves need to stick to.
The battles over the centuries have made the elves form a habit-when the ogres start to invade, the wind-winding forest is the first "defense line", and they will take the lead in resisting, so that the morning star forest has time to gather enough 'S reinforcements completely wipe out the invading ogres.
Last year's battle had caused the elves of the entire ancient wood forest to suffer heavy losses, and as the largest settlement among them, Morningstar Forest also suffered the most casualties. Not only the casualties of the soldiers, but also all kinds of important materials are seriously lacking.
This is why the reluctance to form an alliance with humans, the reason why the elders of Morning Star Forest still failed to prevent Luca from going to the Deep Forest Castle-if they can no longer recuperate and replenish supplies, Morning Star Forest is likely to be unable to support the next invasion of ogres Too.
Without the Morning Star Forest, with only a few elf settlements nearby, it would absolutely not be able to resist the invasion of hundreds of ogres.
When the war dancers in the wind forest four days ago noticed the presence of ogres again at the border of the big tree wall. Immediately began to resist, and sent a messenger to notify Morningstar Forest and nearby elf settlements to prepare for resistance.
In the beginning, they were just preparing to delay the pace of the ogres and buy time for the reinforcements. but……
"Troll ?!" Luca shouted out in silence: "How could there be a troll in the ancient wood forest ?!"
Lucca will not be surprised for no reason. The creature like a giant monster should be in the wilderness farther south of the ancient wood forest. It is impossible for the 20-meter body to survive in the forest.
"I don't think it's possible, but it's true." Korno's ugly eyes flashed horrible memories: "The monster climbed up the cliff directly, and UU read www.uukanshu.com to one of the ancient trees. , And then countless ogres climbed up the hills along the trunk! "
"We didn't even have time to react, so we were slaughtered by ogres flanked by both sides! In just one day, the war dancers in the wind forest were killed in half, and even ... their bodies were not recovered. "
Kono's voice was a little choked, and of course Silent Loren understood what he meant-the body that was not found was eaten by the ogre.
"Warriors in the Wind Forest have persisted for three days and have been waiting for the reinforcements of Morning Star Forest-not only the war dancers, all the young elves have fought. Until now, we can only barely protect our settlement."
"Weapons, medicines, manpower ... we are short of everything, but in the end, we simply have no way to close the gap in the big tree wall!"
"We have tried a few times and wanted to recapture the hills from the hands of the ogres. But they built a settlement there, no big trees were used as cover, no matter how many war dancers were just going to die, let alone those. The young man who just picked up the spear! "
"What about that monster?" Loren asked, "Where is that monster now?"
"Don't know." Kono didn't go too far.
"do not know?!"
"I don't know-after the ogres began to invade, the monster disappeared!"
The stiff-looking Konok restrained his fear, and looked at Loren: "I don't know where the monster is, and it's not clear why it appeared; but I know a little, if the monster appears again ... … "
He paused and licked his chapped lips with the tip of his tongue:
"The elves in the Wind Forest will disappear forever in this world!"
