Lord of Flames - Chapter 260
Chapter 260: Encirclement! The Wind Elves broke through!
Under the cover of the night, the thousands of Elves moved quickly.
For humans, it was difficult to walk in the forest, but for Elves, the road in the forest was not harder to walk than on the plains. Moreover, they were very strong, so they walked faster.
They passed through one forest after another. In just a moment, they could walk at least 300 kilometers.
This was a speed that ordinary people could not reach.
Even the speed of the elite troops was not that fast.
They did not mean that danger was coming.
To pass through the Human Kingdom as soon as possible and reach the Holy Flame Forest, their path of advancement was a straight line.
This gave those who had the heart a chance.
……
Outside another forest, the cavalry of hundreds of people caught up, but the Elves had already left the forest.
“These Elves are fast. I chased them for a few days before I managed to catch them. Judging from their route, they were heading north. Other than the cavalry, it was very difficult for the ground troops to catch them. Go, release a messenger and tell Your Highness to go directly to the north of the Orvis Forest. They should be there for a day.”
The armored cavalry led the way.
……
The sky was getting brighter.
“It’s almost dawn; let’s find a place to rest.”
Among the thousands of Elves, a petite Elf spoke.
This Elf Tribe was also a Wind Elf Tribe. They were good at wind magic, and their archery skills were also quite brilliant.
“Well, there’s a large forest over there. Go there and rest.”
Another Elf said.
Therefore, the Elven team headed towards the forest.
In fact, in the large forest, they could travel during the day. However, they had rushed up a road, and they were tired, so they had to rest.
The Elven team quickly went into the forest and set up some small barriers around the forest with magic.
The sky was dark.
In the forest, the Elves were resting quietly. Outside the forest, there were several Elves on duty.
The Elves did not let down their guard.
Every time they passed a forest, they would hide the traces of their passing.
However, traces could be concealed. A team of thousands of Elves would eventually leave some traces of their aura. The enemy had relied on their aura to catch up to them.
Soon, the sun shot three times, and the Elves fell asleep.
Around this forest, a large number of troops had arrived.
There were quite a number of these troops, and each side had tens of thousands of troops. They surrounded the forest from three directions, and the only direction they did not surround was not to worry, because that was the cliff wall.
These troops did not show them Elves. Instead, they were waiting for the encirclement to be completed to avoid alerting the enemy.
“Arcane, do you have thousands of Elves in this forest? Why didn’t I see anything?”
On the front of the forest, a man wearing a beautiful outfit said.
“Prince, I can guarantee that there are thousands of Elves.”
The armored rider named Akashi said.
The Prince looked at the distant forest and said, “A few thousand Elves, an Elf can sell for at least two million gold coins, and the best can even sell for ten million gold coins. Of course, it’s a pity to sell the best. The Elves have a strong body, and one can play for a long time. Arcade, for this siege, I’ve brought out all my wealth. I even invited Master Hawk to help. If you’re wrong, be careful not to drop your head.”
Akashi said confidently, “Don’t worry, Prince. I’ve been following them for more than ten days. There’s no mistake.”
The Prince looked at him and asked, “It’s been more than ten days? So you came from Old Four’s territory? Did you inform the Old Four?”
Akashi quickly nodded. “I don’t dare!”
The Prince snorted and said, “It’s good that you don’t dare. If you’re right, I’ll reward you with ten Elves!”
Akashi was overjoyed. “Thank you, Prince.”
“Reporting, Your Highness Prince, the encirclement has been completed!”
At this time, a messenger came up to report.
The Prince waved his hand and ordered, “Send my order, attack!”
“Ooh!”
The horn sounded.
Hundreds of thousands of troops marched towards the forest.
The forest was very large, more than five kilometers long, but hundreds of thousands of troops were enough to complete the encirclement.
That military equipment was exceptionally sophisticated, and the armor on their bodies was distinct. These armors were refined armor, and there were many magical symbols on them.
This army was quite elite, even more, elite than the original 200,000 Royal armies of the Xi Ling Kingdom.
……
The Elves instantly detected their movements in the forest.
“Not good, the human army is here!”
An Elf’s voice sounded.
Instantly, all the Elves in the forest woke up.
“Lydia, what should we do? We’re surrounded on three sides!”
An Elf looked at an Elf with a flower crown on his head.
This Elf was the leader of this group of Wind Elves.
“Let’s go, let’s break out from the west!”
Lydia was very decisive and immediately said.
After saying that, she took out her bow from her magic bag and rushed out first.
Thousands of Elves took out their bows and scimitars and followed behind her.
Thousands of Elves quickly rushed out of the forest and headed towards the human army in the west.
“Humph, the west is our most elite heavy-armored infantry. They chose the west to break out of the encirclement. They overestimated Elves and told them not to be too ruthless. It would be a pity to kill these Elves.”
In front of the forest, the Prince snorted disdainfully.
Outside the forest, thousands of Elves rushed out. Under the command of the commander, tens of thousands of heavy-armored infantry soldiers put down their heavy shields and formed a copper wall.
These soldiers were all quite elite, at least at the first rank. Tens of thousands of soldiers over the first level formed a shield wall, enough to make people despair!
However, Lydia’s footsteps did not stop as she rushed towards the heavy-armored infantry.
In her hand, the bow and arrow had already been placed on the string. On the green arrow, magic waves constantly emerged.
Then, Lydia suddenly let go of her hand.
“Whoosh!”
The green arrow rushed towards the heavily armored infantry. As the arrow continued to move forward, it created a strong airflow. The airflow became larger and larger. By the time the arrow reached the front of the heavily armored infantry formation, it had already created a huge tornado!
“Heavens!”
The heavy-armored soldiers at the front looked shocked. They wanted to run, but it was too late!
The huge tornado rushed into the square of the heavy-armored infantry and swept up a large number of heavy-armored infantry companies with their shields.
“Ah ~~”
Some of the heavy-armored soldiers were swept up into the sky and thrown off again. They screamed and fell into the crowd, knocking them over.
“Run!”
The heavy-armored infantry behind them no longer cared about the Elves. They all frantically tried to dodge, but the tornado was too fast. The heavy-armored infantry could not dodge in time and be swept into the sky.
The thick battle formation of the heavy-armored infantry was plowed out by this tornado!
“Quick, follow me!”
Lydia shouted.
Instead, she stopped and shot an arrow into the sky.
There, a magister flying in the sky hurriedly cast a defensive spell, but his defensive spell was shot through by Lydia’s arrow. The mage’s wand emitted a dazzling light and finally blocked Lydia’s arrow.
Thousands of Elves quickly passed through the passage and disappeared behind the infantry battle formation.
Lydia was the last to leave the tunnel. In the sky, the magister’s face was covered in a cold sweat, but he did not dare to attack again.
“Damn it!”
Seeing this, the Prince could not help but curse.
“Your Highness Prince, that elf’s archery is too powerful, I dare not get too close!”
The magister flew up and said.
A tribe of thousands of Elves, “no matter how powerful they are, how powerful can they be? Master Hawk, you’re the Grand Magister!”
The Prince was furious when he saw the Elves disappear!
“Yes, that Elf is at most sixth rank, but her wind magic is too powerful. With the support of her wind magic, her bow and arrow range far exceeds my magic attack range.”
Master Hawk was still afraid of that arrow.
He was a great sorcerer, but although the great sorcerer was strong, he could not change the fact that magisters were fragile.
The Prince snorted and asked Akashi, “Can we catch up to them before they reach my brother’s territory?”
Akashi shook his head. “Prince, I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do.”
The Prince gritted his teeth and said, “Tell my big brother to surround them together! After these Elves are in my hands, I’ll be four and he’ll be six!”
