"Quick, quick, let Docmundo lie down!" After Jess rushed into the abandoned tree hole with the three Buchlingtons, he immediately spread his green cloak on the ground and placed Lagertis in it.
On the cloak, the pouring rain outside the tree hole almost covered up all the external conditions. Buchlinton imitated Jace's actions and made Docmundo, whose abdomen was spread with poison, lie on his cloak. Most of the people's luggage had been lost. Fortunately,
The three Kazivars held by Jielin contained Jace's briefcase. Jace quickly took out the medical tools and disinfected them with alcohol. At the same time, he asked Christina to help take out the arrow that shot through Lagdis' calf.
The tree hole was empty except for a large amount of sawdust, and even the wooden bed on the tree wall had become rotten. Jielin, who entered the tree hole first, also had an arrow wound on her shoulder, but Christina now became
Bucherington, who was in the best condition among them, covered his wound and said, "We can't just relax now. Why, why were we found by these battle elves? Are we locked by these elves? We need to check it out quickly."
"
Christina closed her eyes and shook her head in just three seconds, "No, I sensed that they should be elf troops ambushing at various intersections. I was scared by you before and didn't sense their approach."
Buchlinton became even more nervous after hearing this explanation. They randomly selected tree branches to pass through the central area of the Elf Forest. This means that there are elven troops ambushing every road in the central area. So the number of troops left behind in the Elf Forest is now
How many there are is a mystery. When he was in Brighton City, Buchlinton, as a lieutenant, only knew roughly about various strategic information during the four years of war, but the consensus among the human army was that the elves
The troops are indeed coming out in full force. In the four years of contact wars between the elves and the orcs, there have always been fewer victories and more defeats. If the elves had such a large number of elite troops, this war would be easier for humans.
"You bastard, you even hid the strength of your troops. The elves really want to use this war to become the masters of the Southern Continent. We need to find a way to pass this information to Lord Edwards... The Queen of Elf set it up."
A sob came from Lagertis's mouth. Buchlinton, who was slightly injured, hurriedly cooperated with Jess to treat the two seriously injured people. There were thunderous sounds from outside the tree hole from time to time, and Buchlinton held down Lagertis's wound.
Dun looked at Christina many times, who was the only one who could know the situation outside the tree hole. Christina could only shake her head again and again. Her perception was now interfered with by various negative emotions in her mind.
The sound of thunder was gradually obscured by the sound of rain. When Jace finished treating Lagertis's wound and turned to Docmundo, he placed one hand on the entrance of the tree hole, and Buchington, who was always paying attention to the situation outside the tree hole, was half-crouching.
He raised the musket placed at his feet and aimed at the intruder.
Arthur, who was covered in blood stains washed away by the rain, stumbled in from outside the tree hole. His face was quite pale. The moment he saw his teammates, he sat down on the ground. Buchlinton looked at the busy Jace.
, after confirming that there was no need for his help, he supported the weak Arthur and said, "Where are the elves?"
"They can't catch up with us for the time being." Arthur reluctantly responded. He had lost most of the thunder element in his body. If he used the Seventh Scale one more time before recovering, his body would fall into uncontrollable collapse again. He reached out and pulled it out.
With the arrow stuck in his back, Arthur waved to indicate that he didn't need any help. He found a dry tree wall and closed his eyes to rest.
Buchington said no more, and gently approached and patted Arthur on the shoulder as encouragement.
The sudden appearance of the Elf Guard shooters dealt a severe blow to the special team. Under the severe circumstances of Lagertis and Docmundo losing their mobility for a short period of time, there were only three Cazival mounts left, most of the luggage was lost, and except for the firearms
The three repeating muskets that he had been carrying were also lost. The only most valuable items left on his body were two bags of nuts and a large number of leaf coins that had no place to use.
What to do now...
...
The downpour continued until the next day. Jess took care of the two seriously injured patients with fever all night, and also ensured the sleep condition of the remaining people. At noon on the second day, Buchlinton decided to take advantage of the heavy rain.
They continued to move forward under cover. The original plan was to use the small manpower loopholes of the elven escorts to reach the elven countryside through the central area as quickly as possible. Now the plan has been disrupted by the large number of elite troops guarding various intersections.
With Christina's perception, everyone can walk safely in the rain even if the heavy rain blocks their vision. Arthur leads the last three Kazivals and walks at the end of the team. After a night of recovery of the elements in his body, Arthur is in a good state of mind.
Many of them are responsible for the defense work of the current team. As long as Christina always focuses on searching for nearby elf troops, she can lead the special team to perfectly avoid the patrolling escorts.
Christina's ability is indeed beyond that of ordinary elves as she said. The perception ability that Docmund has mastered is limited to using the wind element to assist himself. It is completely impossible for Docmundo to radiate perception like Kristina.
.
"This way," Christina held the cloak around her neck tightly to prevent rainwater from dripping in. After more than half a day's journey, several people followed the safe route into the deepest part of the central area. Except for Christina who occasionally spoke to adjust the direction, no one in the special team
I want to talk too much about the elves. The alliance between humans and elves has been for decades since the beginning of the old calendar. According to various clues now, it is a fact that the elves secretly accumulate power to deceive humans. After learning such important news, plus
The unchanging scene around them made the special team feel uncomfortable.
The rain gradually stopped. When Arthur raised his head and lifted his hood, he didn't know where he had arrived. When he looked around in confusion, he saw a half rainbow hanging on the top of the fir tree. This was the first rainbow that had been seen for a long time since Brighton.
During the journey, Arthur saw a rainbow for the first time, and his depressed mood was relieved a little by the gift of this natural beauty. Along with the journey of blood and escape, the special team with limited time never stopped for a certain beautiful scenery.
Only the negative emotions caused by exhaustion can allow the Golia of the Elf Forest to invade. Arthur knew this very well, but he could not help but stare at the gorgeous rainbow in a daze.
Since turning twelve, many events have put pressure on Arthur's shoulders. Now thirteen, Arthur has become stranger and stronger than he was a few months ago. Buchington has a bandage on his shoulder and is communicating with Christina
As he was heading forward, he noticed Arthur looking up at the sky. So he walked quietly behind Arthur and looked up at the angle of Arthur's head, "What are you looking at?"
Arthur pointed to the rainbow hanging in the sky, "Captain, it's so beautiful."
Buchlinton's voice was swirling in his throat, and he stared at the rainbow with squinted eyes for a long time, "Are you homesick? I remember that the captain of the Sixth Reconnaissance Team is your brother, right?"
"Hmm. I don't know what happened to him."
"He is so strong, and he is a captain at such a young age. It shouldn't be easy. Besides that bear, is there anyone else in your family?"
Arthur looked at Buchlington, who looked very eager to chat, and led the three Kazivars and the captain to the end of the group that continued to move forward. "Actually, my family passed away four years ago.
I was taken to the Charity Home on Clay Street by Captain Dodge of the First Division of the Law Enforcement Team, where Mrs. Lily adopted me, and George was also from there."
"Ah, Dodge, I know him. I worked with him when we were in the Swordsman Corps. He is an upright person. Let's continue talking about the charity home."
When Arthur heard that Bucherington and Dodge were old acquaintances, he immediately opened up the conversation and told Bucherington about his ordinary life in the charity white house and the charity school. Bucherington sometimes agreed and sometimes
Speaking of his own opinions, Arthur unconsciously forgot about his fatigue.
"Captain," after talking about what happened after joining the army, Arthur asked Buchington: "How is your family?"
Buchington puffed up his chest and said, "My child is already two years old! He is a very healthy little boy. He was already able to call him daddy when I left."
Arthur's eyes were shining, and he was about to ask Buchington's children in detail when a few people in front suddenly became commotion, and Christina even called Buchington and Arthur loudly. "What's going on!" Buchington said.
Linton thought there was another enemy attack, so he threw Arthur away and rushed forward, but he saw Jielin and Christina pointing in disbelief at a dark figure on a branch on the right front and shouting:
"Bucklington (Captain), look, there's a goblin there!"
Goblin? Arthur pulled Cazival, who was fluffing his feathers, to catch up with the army. He happened to see a sneaky black figure on the branch in front of him trotting to the other side of the cedar tree. Arthur rubbed his eyes and confirmed the figure again and again.
The trotting shadow is a small gnome with brown skin and a neat dress.
Is this true? There are goblins in the Elf Forest?
