Chapter 57 Chapter 51: The Distant Liaolei Grassland

The paladins finally returned to Olapede, and at the same time there was news that Bismarck was going down again and the king was determined to make peace with the demons.The terrified crowd thought it was a good idea, as long as the demons did not go north to Yiya, they could temporarily give up their alliance with the elves. And the knight began to close himself more and more. He locked himself in that suit of armor and locked him in the deepest part of the castle. Few people could talk to him anymore. A rumor came to Erapped from the forest of elves. The knight had dedicated his soul to the devil during his stay in the forest of elves. Now, under the armor of the paladin is a devil's face.All this can explain why the hundreds of thousands of allied forces were defeated and the king was forced to make peace with the demons.

And the knight just stayed in his castle silently, neither pleading nor speaking.All those who tried to protest the peace decision with the demon army were thrown into prison by the king's army. The Ahuayi knight explained that this was to maintain the authority of the paladin.As a result, the dark and ruthless paladin is even more regarded as the incarnation of the devil by folklore. "I'm leaving..." Bai Ya said this day.The girl sat quietly in the sunlight on the square outside the Paladin Palace, looking into the distance. "Why?" Reed asked in surprise. "Isn't a demon like me staying by the knight's side becoming evidence that the paladin gave his soul to the devil? No matter what the knight is thinking now, I don't want to see him being blamed for it. I can't face it either. The defeat of any race, whether knightly race or mine."

"But it's also a secret. You're well dressed, and no one will see it." "Sooner or later there will be such a day, won't it?" Reed stared blankly at Bai Ya: "Perhaps, you are right. We don't know what our final destiny is. The knight may have a premonition that something is coming." Baiya left Orapede City and came to the woods outside the small village where she first met Kant.She sat silently for a long, long time on the stake she had sat on when she was a little girl.When the villagers saw this beautiful and quiet silver girl, they thought in amazement that it was an angel descending.

But no one came to hold her hand. On this day, the magic army finally entered the forest of elves. The messenger of the elves asked the magic army to put down their weapons and pass through the forest of elves.But the demons who came all the way through the bloody battle would never put down the sword in their hands. Huayou Bingsi expelled the messenger, saying that as long as the elves did not appear in the sight of the demon army, the demon army would not fight the elves.In fact, the demon army is also afraid of falling into the melee in the jungle. After all, the current demons are on expeditions for survival rather than hegemony.

In order to prevent the elves from using the woods to ambush and lure the demons into the forest and encircle them, Huayou Bingsi ordered the demon army to camp outside the forest, and the 10,000 people he sent first opened a blank area with a width of three miles in the elf forest. , and then pass through in one fell swoop after the road is connected.Although this reduces the difficulty of marching and the danger of falling into an ambush, it greatly slows down the speed of marching.Two months have passed, and the road has only been driven for two hundred miles, which is less than one-fifth of the diameter of the Elven Forest.

The reason for the slow progress of the project is that the vegetation in the Elven Forest is different from the wood species on the ordinary land. They grow extremely fast. They are just cut down today, and they will grow back immediately the next day. The roots of the underground trees are intertwined and cannot be removed. No cutting with an ax can stop them from growing. Huayou Bingsi asked the captured human residents at the edge of the forest, and found that it was because the goddess Mirror Lake in the middle of the forest is said to have the spiritual power to revive all things, and the twelve giant trees by the lake are the myriad creatures of the forest of elves. The ancestor of wood, the source of vitality, the giant tree is immortal, and the forest will never be destroyed.After hearing this, Huayou Bingsi began to think.

Destroying the giant tree will undoubtedly lead to a war with the elves, which is even more unsustainable than not being able to open the road, but if this continues, perhaps the only way is for the group to disperse and drill through the maze-like forest, and once the elves attack halfway, That would lead to the destruction of the whole family, a risk that Huayou Bingsi would never dare to take. This demon general couldn't sleep at night, he climbed onto the high platform and sighed long and long looking at the shadow of the sacred tree hundreds of miles away. "Look, Flying Dragon Army!" On the tip of the Shenmu, the watchman shouted.

Immediately, the elves were startled, and the warriors drove hundreds of giant birds into the sky, protecting the sacred tree and circling. I saw a flying dragon descending nimbly from high in the sky, and fell into the formation of giant birds alone. Under the aim of countless arrows, Lu Huameiya showed a proud smile, and roared through the birds, throwing away all the elf feather riders After entering the forest, a flock of hula-la giant birds followed, and many giant wings rose from the ground.Lu Huameiya drove Liejiao between the wings and the treetops, without even touching a leaf, and the feather riders flying all over the sky couldn't stop her.

With a dragon hiss, Lu Huameiya jumped onto the giant branch in the middle of the tallest sacred tree "Tian Lao". That branch had already been paved with wooden boards, like a wide avenue.Under the pressure of many archers, she smiled and walked to the big platform among the trees, which was the place where the highest elders of the elves discussed their affairs. "Excuse me, everyone, how can we open a path in the forest of elves?" Without any gossip, Lu Huameiya smiled at the astonished elders. "Everything has life, and the elves don't move a single piece of grass easily. If you cut down trees like this, the forest will already be full of resentment. If this continues, the god of the earth will be angry. You should stop!" an elder said.

Lu Hua Meiya did not come to debate, she turned her attention to the only sitting and oldest old man, the nearly 300-year-old sage Gula Andi. Gula Andy spoke slowly: "The forest of elves has the spirit of the earth as a powerful source, and it is impossible to open up wasteland. We can't help you with this matter." "The spirit of the earth? The Idels also believe in the earth, but our earth is a powerful male god, while yours is a goddess. Our earth not only breeds spirits, but also breeds wind, fire and blood. God cleaves mountains and draws great rivers. Idel people don’t like to beg for help from others. We believe in our power to open up. If you don’t help, we can also open passages. But, I want to know, is there anything better than filling up the goddess? It is easier to use Jinghu Lake and cut down the Twelve Divine Trees."

All the elders were shocked and angry, Lu Huameya stood with her sword on her back, her smile remained the same, and the strong wind blown by Liejiao stirred her long hair. Gula Andy sighed: "We respect the power of creating mountains and rivers, but some things can't be recovered after they are lost, like dry trees, like lost lives. Nothing is more precious than life. This is the spirit of elves. We don’t want to deprive others of their lives, but if someone wants to destroy the source of life of the elves, then the blood of the elves will also burn.” Lu Hua Meiya sighed, she laughed at the pale-faced people just now, but respected the old man in front of her. "Then, can the elder promise that when the demons pass through the forest, the elves will never attack and retreat a hundred miles away. If so, the Idels will never cut down another big tree." Gula Andy nodded: "That's right. This is my family's promise." The highest sage of the elves speaks, which is the guarantee of the elves' reputation.Lu Huameiya bowed deeply, exited the wooden house, and boarded the flying dragon. Knowing about the appointment with the demons, Feng Suo Lanman angrily drew his sword and chopped into the big tree, shouting: "We let the demons enter the Liaolei grassland, and the demons will live and grow in the future, and the forest of elves will be burned! .” He found his companions Kru Wu, Han Mo, and his younger sister Suo Huaya, and discussed a sneak attack against the demons. In the depths of the swamp, Yundi lit a fire and roasted wild mushrooms to survive.The creatures in her body have been silent for several months, so that she has some doubts that everything before is a hallucination during a high fever.Why does this baby with the power of a demon god grow slower than normal babies? But this day in a dream, she finally heard his voice again. "I slept for a long time... so quiet... I can feel my shape... He grows very slowly... Maybe... It will take a few years to grow up, I have to shape myself, I want to shape myself into The most beautiful person in the world just like my mother." "Can you see me?" "I saw in my dream..." "Stupid child... how can you take what you dreamed of as real? Did you really take so long to be born?" "It's okay to grow fast... But, it will hurt my mother's body... Besides, if you don't care about adjusting your body, you won't know whether it's beautiful or ugly when you're born." "It's dangerous in the forest, you'd better grow up quickly... Beauty and ugliness are not the most important thing." The baby stopped talking. After that, Yundi began to feel the burning sensation in her belly. At the same time, her appetite increased. She spent every day looking for mushrooms and small fish in the swamp. Fortunately, here is In the place where the aura of the elf forest gathers, mushrooms, small fish, and wild fruits are extremely nutritious, so the creatures grow faster and faster. Yundi just feels tired, but he doesn't lose weight. But the demon obviously still felt that this was not enough. Yundi often felt in his dreams that he was absorbing the vitality of the whole surrounding. When he woke up, the grass and leaves around him were all withered and yellow. The accelerated growth of the demon spirit also made Ron in the forest feel its existence again. ... "Mom, I finished reading the scroll you brought, and I don't understand many of the stories on it." "You are too young. You will not understand many things until you are born and grown up." "What is a Demon King? What is Feng..." Yundi was silent for a long time.But the magic baby had searched everything in her memory. "... Mom, are you afraid of me? Do you want to find the magic to seal me?" "I..." Yundi knows that he is transparent to the creatures in his heart, "Yes... I have thought about..." "Why don't you want to?" "Because I don't want to lose you." "Will you lose me if you seal me up? I don't understand." "You can't understand the pain of being mothballed." "I've been banned for countless years and I don't feel pain." "That's because you have no memory, no taste of joy." "What is joy?" "Happiness is..." Yundi looked at the dark dome, as if he had seen the constellations in the sky, "It is when you recall, you will..." "Will you cry? Your tears are falling. What was the happiest moment in your mother's life?" "This... I'll tell you when you grow up." Yundi blushed and said. "Mommy what's it like when a man and a woman are together?" "Why are there so many children, are you annoying? Go to bed!" After all, Yundi is no different from all mothers, even if this baby is a little too smart. "Okay," the magic baby said obediently, "I will tell mom when I find out the secret of 'Feng'." "Why did you tell me?" Yundi asked in surprise. But the magic baby stopped talking, and he fell into a deep sleep again. "When I know the secret of 'seal', will I really seal him?" Yundi asked himself this question ten thousand times in his heart. The magic army gave up opening up the road, and began to march into the dense forest. This was a miserable march for the soldiers of the magic army.They would rather rush through a 100,000 troops than lead a horse through a jungle covered with vines and swamps.Although there are pioneers who are constantly opening up the road, it is too slow for the 80,000 people. Most of them still have to walk through the dense forest. The branches and leaves are so dense that they can't see the people around them. .In order not to leave the soldiers behind, the magic army blew the horn every once in a while.The sound of the horn rang for a long time in the Demon Realm Forest, breaking the long-standing tranquility here for hundreds of years. If a quick-tempered man, as a striker he had to fight some hardwood and vines with his sword, he never felt so hopeless.There was a sound of chopping trees all around, but the progress was still too slow.If you feel sorry for your own knife, he didn't expect that the old pimples and vines in the forest of elves are so hard and intertwined, often making you wish you were a snake. Fearing that the forest would catch fire and burn the whole army, Huayou Bingsi prohibited lighting torches even at night.Fortunately, the demons have piercing eyes in the dark.However, there were more monsters in the night, and there were sometimes hundreds of reports of being bitten by monsters in one night.This is naturally due to Kant's bunkers. If the paladin's plan can succeed and the monsters are controlled by the human race, one can imagine how embarrassed the magic army will be now. But who destroyed the magic castle and ruined the plan of the paladins? The magic army endured silently and moved forward desperately.In the dark night, they sang songs and echoed everywhere. From a distance, it sounded like a chorus of demon spirits in the forest. After all, the Liaolei Grassland, the land of dreams, the place to return to at all costs, the vast and endless grassland under the sun, is just behind this forest. However, dreams are sometimes farther than imagined.When the magic army thought that victory was in sight, they ignored the loosening ground under their feet. That night, the tired demon army was resting, and the demon sentries scanned their surroundings vigilantly. For them, they could see things more clearly in the dark than in the daytime, and everything that moved could hardly escape their eyes. There seemed to be some wind this night, but the magic army sentry who lacked jungle combat experience did not notice this. Huayou Bingsi suddenly woke up.In fact, he didn't sleep very much these days. He just wanted to bring the remaining nearly 80,000 demons to the Liaolei Grassland, and then lay down on the grass even if he couldn't sleep for a long time. He was so looking forward to it that as soon as he entered the dream, he saw the prairie, full of sunshine, without enemies, and could run endlessly. But today he woke up inexplicably.Nothing disturbed, everything was so quiet. He suddenly became alert because it was too quiet. At this time, just a few miles away, a magic sentinel was shot in the throat by an arrow! Even though they had eyes shining in the dark, they couldn't see the elf warriors wearing camouflage clothes and moving with the swaying branches and leaves in the wind. The purpose of the elves was not just to kill a few demon soldiers with arrows. After they solved the outer sentinels, they quickly cut into the inner line. For a while, there were flashing bodies everywhere on the ground and treetops.The wind became more and more urgent, and the branches and leaves shook wildly.Huayou Bingsi, who was in the center of the company battalion, sensed the strangeness of the wind, and was about to order the soldiers to stand up and be alert.Just then, he saw something flash in the jungle. That's a rocket. In fact, the trees in the Elven Forest are not easy to burn, but who is more familiar with their territory than the Elves?These rockets are attached with a special oil agent, and after hitting the tree trunk, a large ball of flames burst out, and the whole tree suddenly became a big torch.As rockets shot from all directions in the jungle like a meteor shower, the magic army quickly fell into panic. Such an army has never panicked when facing an army of millions of undead, and it has never panicked when it first came out of the ground to face the huge human army that had already lined up on the snow mountain, but now, it is only one step away from the final destination. Time is flustered.The demon army roared angrily and waved their swords, but they couldn't find the enemy.When they shot the arrows where the rocket came from, the elves had already jumped to another tree.These elf archers walked among the treetops as if they were walking on the ground. They did not shoot the magic army, but spread the flames in all directions, and quickly ignited a large fire belt in a radius of tens of miles. "Rush in the direction of the wind, and go out against the wind!" Huayou Bingsi shouted. But this is not a battle formation that can be broken with a sword. In front of the magic army are dense trees.And the elves have already calculated the weather, and they have been preparing for this day for a long time.The magic army didn't run a few steps, and a tree wall seemed to appear in front of them.They didn't notice that the trees on the back layer in that direction grew abnormally fast these days, because the elves secretly sprinkled the potion that gave birth.The brigade's demon army was blocked under the tree wall, and they were furiously chopping down those huge trees and long vines.But behind the tree wall, a dense rain of arrows came.On the top of the tree wall, countless poisonous insects fell.Under their feet, magic vines grew out at some point, pulling the demons to the ground one by one.Even if there were demon troops who squeezed through the tree walls, most of them died in the traps between the trees.Occasionally, those who rushed out of the tree array could only hear the laughter from all sides. Before they could see where the enemy was, they were shot to death by random arrows. Huayou Bingsi stood in the center, surrounded by fire and shouts.He had never felt so scared, even a little hopeless.When he was underground and was attacked by hundreds of thousands of undead army pouring out of the ground, he was extremely calm and confident that he could win the final victory.Because at that time he was facing lifeless dry bones, but now he has to fight against the great nature and the huge forest that has grown up for countless years; at that time, millions of people were with him, brave The Zigzarit of the old man, and the Yan Tecrida of Shen Zhi were with him, but now, he stood alone in the center of the chaos, and the magic army waited for command, but for the first time, he didn't know what to do. "If the demons are destroyed in this fire, how can I be worthy of Zigzarit and Yantekrida who died in battle, how can I be worthy of the demon king Kaqiyunde? How can I be worthy of the number who followed us but fell on the road Millions?" Huayou Bingsi finally understood the source of his fear.The demons have always been brave and bloodthirsty, and they value their lives in battle. Even if they all die in battle, they must destroy the enemy.But now, the desire to survive is concentrated in their hearts. In a place only one step away from their hometown, in a place closest to their dreams, all people are so eager to survive, to live and kiss the grassland of their hometown.It was precisely because the whole army was enveloped by this eagerness that they took risks recklessly, betting that the elves would abide by their reputation, and robbed the forest of elves. But the worst finally came, and the elves attacked.This is not unexpected.But compared to waiting maybe a year or even indefinitely to clear the way from the elf forest or completely destroying the elves with almost no possibility, everyone would choose to take risks.The demons have been taking risks since they decided to return to the land of the sun. They have no choice but to take risks. The whole expedition is a huge gamble, but... are they going to lose at this last moment? No, after a moment of pain and hesitation, the belief in fighting returned to Huayou Bingsi.Never, he will never let such a thing happen, and the great Idel will never perish like this.He drew his sword and let out a roar.Hearing his shout, all the magic army roared.The sound was earth-shattering, and made the panicking soldiers understand that they still had great strength. The soldiers in front of the tree wall also shouted, and rushed forward even more recklessly, cutting down the tree wall frantically.The elf mages cast magic behind the tree wall, and the huge tree trunk was cut and quickly recombined. Poisonous gas and poisonous insects surrounded them like a mist, and many magic soldiers vomited blood and fell down with their knives. Around the army, the fire belt began to encircle. The magic army seems to be fighting in vain for the last battle. The long hiss of the dragon came from the sky, and the flying dragon army set off in the sky, and they went to the mirror lake, the holy land goddess of the elves, preparing to launch a revenge attack.No one knows if they can still see their clansmen when they come back. Lu Hua Meiya shouted down Liejiao's back: "Huayou Bingsi, we will win in the end!" She didn't say any more words, and the dragon passed away in the sky. Huayou Bingsi drew his sword and rushed towards the tree wall, and the giant tree fell down in front of him.Seeing him go into battle in person, the magic army cheered, and the magic bow and arrow behind the tree shot at him, but he rushed forward like a giant beast and pushed the big tree to the ground.At the same time, he sent a huge lightning bolt behind the tree, and some elves escaped from the bushes in panic.The elves simply set up fire nets between the tree walls, and huge flames rose in front of the magic army.Huayou Bingsi and some high-level generals yelled and pushed the big tree forward, pressing a temporary narrow path in the fire wall, and the magic army rushed forward stepping on the tree trunk.Many daemons fell into the fire, and many who tried to run straight through the flames were reduced to ashes in the flames. Lu Huameya looked back from the sky, and saw a large area of ​​red fire on the dark ground, which reminded her of the Cantusti fire.The Idel people burned down their underground capital to express their determination not to turn back.Could it be that this great expedition started with a fire and will end with a fire? In the dark night, no one saw that her eyes were wet, but she thought that when the sun illuminated the forest again tomorrow, no matter which ending she saw, she would not be able to hold back the tears.
