Chapter 56 Chapter Fifty-Five

The scorching heat hit my face, and the pungent smoke made me unable to breathe at all.I hugged the horse's neck tightly and bent down to give Sylph behind me the maximum room to move.He swung his long sword on horseback, descended from the sky in the strong wind driven by the flapping of his wings, and slammed down two heavily armed eagle soldiers in front of him. Everything happened so suddenly that the enemy was not prepared for it.After the two soldiers fell, the one-sided battle situation immediately changed.The enemies who were busy chasing the villagers immediately clamored and surrounded them. The flames smoked their frightening yellow eyes into red, and the sharp beaks close at hand were shocking.

But then our other horse also landed.The two passengers cooperated with each other, one in front of the other, brandishing the long sword in their hands, stabbing the enemy fiercely.Then another horse.Then another one.More and more of our people are joining the fight.The people trapped on the ground rekindled their long-lost confidence. The old and weak rushed to pick up large and small stones, and even flaming branches and threw them at the enemy, while the younger ones picked up the weapons dropped by the opponent. , Desperate resistance. Under the concerted efforts of everyone fighting, the outcome was immediately decided.We win by surprise, and these horses also have an absolute advantage.They are born with supernatural power. When they raised their front legs high, the frightened eagle soldiers immediately scattered and fled.Most of these soldiers fell under Sylph's sword, and the few remaining, seeing the bad momentum, quickly retreated.

We won big. Compared with the countless small villages seen along the way, this is a fairly large village.When all the enemies were killed or fled, people drew spring water from nearby waters to put out the fire. After working hard for a long time, the fire was finally brought under control.Although the houses were burned to pieces, most of the villagers were rescued because we arrived in time.They are eager to join Silver's team. "We have heard of you," said a young skylark, "Sylph the Wind Elf, our savior." "I'm not a savior." Silver replied, "My strength alone is negligible. It is all due to everyone's own efforts to get to this point, and our future needs everyone to work together to fight for it."

"Follow Silph!" Skylark raised his arms and shouted, "Fight for our own future!" "Follow Sylph and fight for our own future!" Everyone raised their weapons high and echoed in unison, the shouts were earth-shattering. A gentle breeze rustled the huge leaves of the palm trees overhead, as if in response to the people's determination. The fire gradually subsided, and the smell of scorching was everywhere.People counted weapons, tended to the wounded, and prepared to set up camp here. That message was delivered at this time.Its arrival brought about a sea change for all of us.

First, a black shadow appeared in the sky. A white horse waved its giant wings and descended from the sky. After landing, it staggered a few steps and fell, foaming at the mouth. Terrible blood gushed out from the wound on its side, dyeing one wing bright red.On the horseback was a swift girl with a strong figure. She turned over and stood up, wiped the blood from her hands, and hurried to Sylph amidst everyone's astonishment. I recognized her as Melanie's messenger from earlier.It was only a few hours ago that Melanie gave the order, and now she has returned.The messenger's speed is staggering.

"We are ambushed!" She bowed and said out of breath, "We are under attack at the moment, and we ask for immediate support!" "According to the plan, you should meet Sekhmet." Silf frowned tightly. "Commander Melanie encountered an ambush as soon as he walked out of the cave." Swift said, "We didn't walk half a mile at all." "How is the situation now?" "We are completely trapped," Swift said. "Without support, it is only a matter of time before the entire army is wiped out." "Where is Sekhmet's army?"

"It's still a day away from here." Swift shook her head in despair, "I can't make it." Sylph glanced at the people waiting for his order, frowning.After a while, he said, "Ten people, ride with me first, and the rest walk. Let's go back to rescue our companions first, and then join the army." I saw little S raised his head and cast a questioning look at Sylph. "You stay." Sylph said immediately, "You all stay. This trip is too dangerous, and there is no need for you to put yourself in danger again. You and the injured all stay here and wait for the appointment."

Emily breathed a sigh of relief.But judging from Xiao S's expression, it is obvious that he is not happy. "Please help me take care of the wounded and protect my people. This is very important to me." Sylph looked at him seriously, but before the other party could respond, he had already walked into the crowd and counted the names of ten people , the blind pheasant was among them. "Be careful." The blind pheasant said when passing by us, then quickly got on the horse and followed Sylph into the air. Then there's the peloton.All those who could walk gathered their luggage and took their weapons, and they left quietly to join the army led by another female leader, Sekhmet, according to Sylph's order.

When all the people left, the most terrible disaster happened. I first heard birdsong, a crisp and melodious voice, pleasant to the ear.Then I saw him, with a small, gorgeous head and a beak like a needle.I knew it was a hummingbird. One of the wounded was the first to let out a scream of fear, and seemed to see the attacking enemy again.But there are no eagle soldiers here, only these small and exquisite hummingbirds.These little people were about half a person's height, and they suddenly jumped out of the trees like goblins, jumped and flipped nimbly among the branches, and then disappeared in a flash.

All the wounded on the ground fled in all directions. On the smoking scorched earth, the four of us outsiders looked at each other, not knowing what was waiting for us. The first to be recruited is D.All I heard was the wind, and I didn't even see the little hummingbirds at all.I only saw D standing opposite, with a shocking expression that didn't fit him, and in the next second, he fell straight down. Then there is little S.This time I saw it, I saw a small hummingbird hiding in the dense leaves, the beak was slightly opened, forming a thin tube, and then, a long needle came out of the tube like a gust of wind It sprayed out and hit the back of Xiao S's neck.I didn't even have time to let out a half-scream.Because at the same time, I clearly felt a chill on my neck.

Before I could, I saw Emily on the ground. The whole forest swirls before my eyes.All the greens, grass green, dark green, emerald green, olive green, and all kinds of indescribable greens, they were originally harmoniously matched together, but at this moment they are forcefully stuffed into the blender and stirred frantically, spinning desperately like a top, until the end , all the colors were blended into a dull gray and white. The whole colorful world lost all its colors.Lost all sound.Lost all flavor. It's like a big net covering everything, filtering out all thoughts, all actions, all love and hate.The whole world was left with nothing but the emptiness, the horrific emptiness, the emptiness of nothing. It's like everything is cleared. Then the curtain falls.
