Chapter 1356 Retreat and Rescue
Lei Xiao looked in the direction of the voice and saw a holy and delicate face reflected in the bright moonlight. A pair of not-so-tall white pointed ears were quite eye-catching.
Compared with Jiang Xi and Qi Duo, who were forest half-elves, the face of the young female light half-elf in front of him was obviously more holy and graceful, but less capable and heroic.
What was even more striking was that, just as Hill had said, the other person not only had fair skin, but also had smeared brilliant golden magic powder on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, emitting a mysterious and elegant fluorescent glow, which could be described as a very decent image.
Beside Lei Xiao, Hill came over and whispered, "Your Majesty, this is exactly the one of the light half-elves I saw at that time. He was surrounded by other light half-elves and seemed to have a certain say!"
As Hill whispered, she saw Lei Xiao looking over. The female half-elf smiled and introduced herself, "Your Majesty, everyone. My name is Ruth. I am from the light half-elf clan. I am currently working with the dragon army. Please give me some convenience and let me pass through this area."
"Sir Ruth, I know that the light half-elves are quite powerful. With the support of the light elves, they have a high reputation and face, but aren't you forcing them?"
Lei Xiao nodded slightly at first, and then said: "If I came to the territory of the light half-elves and told you that I want to bypass your fortress and borrow your passage to visit your boudoir, would you agree to my request?"
"How dare you be so rude to the young lady!"
Before Ruth could reply, another light half-elf in the group took off her hood and said in a hoarse and deep voice: "You are just a mere human. Can you really turn the world upside down?"
The other person was an old half-elf of light, with a neatly short gray beard and a majestic aura on his sturdy body. I'm afraid his strength is at least comparable to that of Old Bing.
"Not only the human Majesty, but also us!"
Faced with the other party's aggressive attitude, Broy, Chris and Shult also stood up together.
Seeing this scene, not only the old light half-elf, but even the dragonborn warriors such as Davis and Nar all frowned slightly.
This leader of the human race looks so young. What means did he use to tame these three foreign forces?
"Myron, stand down."
Ruth first waved at the old light half-elf, then frowned and looked at Lei Xiao and said, "Your Majesty, are you unwilling to give us light half-elves this face no matter what?"
"Mr. Ruth, you are asking too much."
Lei Xiao shrugged, obviously not going to give in.
"Aren't you afraid of offending us light half-elves?"
The old half-elf warrior couldn't hold back and blurted out another threat: "The strength of the light half-elf is second only to the peak power of all races. It is beyond your imagination!"
"Why don't you just send a large army here? Why do you need to rely on the power of the Dragonborn to operate in this area?"
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, still looking calm.
Behind Lei Xiao, a slender figure was hidden among the human generals, with a pair of tall, white pointed ears faintly visible in the hood.
This person is none other than Therese, the Saint of the Moon Palace.
After learning about the contact between the Dragonborn and the powerful half-elf of light, Lei Xiao couldn't help but have a question.
That is just as the other party said and the information we have, the light half-elves are a second-rate force among all races, and are much stronger than the dragonborn.
Under such circumstances, the fact that the light half-elves did not personally gather an army and come, but chose to cooperate with the dragonborn, undoubtedly indicates a problem.
That is, the light half-elves are unable to take action in person for some reason, so it is naturally impossible for them to send a large army.
In order to verify his guess, Lei Xiao specially called Therese over. After all, the latter was a dark elf who had always been the mortal enemy of the light elves, and she had just returned to the dark elf kingdom to report on her work some time ago, so she undoubtedly had the latest information.
Sure enough, Lei Xiao learned about it through Theresa's description.
Currently, the dark elves and the light elves are confronting each other on their respective borders, and the situation is extremely tense.
As a subsidiary force of the Light Elves, the Light Half-Elves naturally deploy their troops on the border and will never move at will.
Therefore, under the premise of being unable to mobilize a large army, it is not surprising that the other party wants to get their hands on the key point through the hands of the Dragonborn.
As for the duration of the confrontation, Lei Xiao once asked Theresa to estimate it. According to past experience, it is very likely that the confrontation will last at least ten to eight years, or at most hundreds of years.
"This……"
After hearing Lei Xiao's teasing words, Ruth and Myron were speechless for a moment and began to look at each other.
It seems that this human emperor is not only courageous, but also has the latest information about the light half-elves. He has obviously done enough homework in dealing with them.
"Lord Ruth, Lord Myron, there is no need to fight with this guy. His fortress has been in disrepair for a long time. Our dragon army can turn it into dust in a short time!"
Davis's brown dragon face was filled with anger and disdain. He frowned and said, "Let them see how powerful we are!"
As Davis's words fell, the entire Dragon Army drew their swords and their majestic momentum soared into the sky. The momentum was extremely astonishing.
Seeing the opponent's aggressive posture, Broy, Chris, Shult and others couldn't help but frown slightly.
The other party was right. Although the absolute defense barrier of the Waterfall Watcher Fortress was still usable, it was indeed in a very fragile state due to lack of maintenance.
This means that once the enemy attacks the city with all their might and exceeds the critical point of the barrier, even if our side has an adequate supply of magic power, it may be difficult to hold out for too long due to the limited strength of the barrier itself.
Once the defensive barrier is broken, the consequences are self-evident.
"I just said it, you can try it."
Lei Xiao's face remained calm, and he gently clapped his hands.
As Lei Xiao's applause fell, the long-dormant Ice Stone City emerged from the side of the enemy's army. Its huge scale made the Waterfall Viewer Fortress seem much smaller.
“Is this a place favored by God?”
Seeing the sudden Ice Stone City and the densely packed human soldiers on the city wall, the entire Dragon Army was immediately in an uproar.
Not only Davis and other dragon generals, but even Ruth and Myron opened their eyes wide.
There is no need to explain in detail how mysterious and powerful the Land of God's Favor is. That means there must be a powerful son of the ancient God in charge to control it. I didn't expect that the human race actually has such ability.
Feeling the vast aura emanating from the Ice Stone City as a whole, this time it was Davis who frowned.
If he had to fight against Icestone City or Waterfall Watcher Fortress alone, he would naturally not be afraid.
But if he faced two cities at the same time, even though Ice Stone City was obviously much weaker, he still had no chance of winning.
Besides, the trolls, minotaurs, and flower fairies are still fighting fiercely on the other side of the giant valley. Once the winner is decided, the Dragonborn will be attacked from both sides.
By then, let alone passing through, the army might be in danger of being destroyed.
"No wonder the leader of the human race is so tough, it turns out he has something to rely on!"
Davis felt awe-inspiring and a little embarrassed for a moment.
He had just said that he would fight Lei Xiao to the death, but now that Lei Xiao had played a new card, if he simply turned around and retreated, where would he put his face as Prince Zhan Yi?
Ruth and Myron, who were standing by, were also very aware of this. Ruth hesitated for a moment, then said, "Your Highness, since there have been unexpected new changes on the battlefield, why don't we evacuate first and then make a long-term plan."
"Well, I'll just listen to Lady Ruth."
Seeing that Ruth had given him a way out, Davis' dragon face first showed a trace of disdain, and then he said to Lei Xiao: "Your Majesty, those things are definitely not something you can touch. If you forcibly occupy them, be careful of getting your tongue bitten!"
After saying that, Davis flicked his cloak and left with the dragon warrior and Ruth.
Before turning around, Ruth's starry eyes flickered and she looked at Lei Xiao meaningfully. As for the meaning implied in this, perhaps only this light half-elf herself knew it at present.
"The Dragonborn has retreated, worthy of being His Majesty the Human!"
Seeing the army below the city dispersing like a tide, there was a sudden cheer from the fortress walls.
Whether it was the generals or Broy, Shult, Chris and others, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Regardless of the strength of the Waterfall Watcher Fortress, we just experienced a great battle during the day. If we continue to fight, it will indeed greatly limit our strength.
And now that the enemy army has retreated, we undoubtedly have some breathing time, which is naturally the best thing.
"Everyone, don't let your guard down yet. We still have one thing to do."
Seeing that the Dragon Army no longer cared about the battlefield on the other side of the Giant Valley, but retreated directly to their own sphere of influence, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze bright.
At present, the battle between the flower fairies, trolls and the tauren army has entered a white-hot stage. Both sides have suffered heavy losses and are exhausted. Naturally, it is time for us to take action.
"Your Majesty, are you talking about supporting the flower fairies?"
Chris's eyes lit up and she blurted out.
"That's right. The flower fairies were once a subordinate force of the human race, and their opponents were notorious for being cannibals. The result is obvious."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and responded: "As for the Tauren, there is no need to attack them specifically. Just focus on attacking the tauren. I believe their alliance may not be that strong."
Under Lei Xiao's command, the most elite legions of wood elves and dwarf elves quickly entered Ice Stone City, and then instantly appeared behind several legions of trolls.
All at once, the magic cannons on the ice and stone walls fired together, and the momentum was extremely shocking.
Because we arrived too suddenly, the troll army was completely unprepared and screamed and wailed, but were soon drowned out by the magical light rising into the sky.
Seeing this sudden scene, not only the attacked troll army was dizzy, but even the tauren army and the besieged flower fairy army were obviously caught off guard.
After all, we have never appeared on the battlefield, and they don’t even know who they are fighting against.
However, feeling our goodwill, the flower fairy reacted extremely quickly and began to cooperate with us to clear out the troll army in front.
As for the Tauren army, seeing the new variables, after hesitating for a moment, they decisively chose the same approach as the Dragonborn and began to actively withdraw from the battlefield.
In this situation where their vitality is severely damaged, if they continue to choose to confront our well-rested enemy, not only will the losses become more serious, but they will also most likely establish an unknown enemy.
In addition, the Dragonborn army has already withdrawn from the battlefield, so it is not impossible for them to strike back at any time and add insult to injury. In this case, even the Tauren, who are known for their dullness, will not continue to put themselves in danger.
As the Tauren army retreated, we and the flower fairies on the mountain top once again formed a pincer attack from the front and back. For a moment, the troll army was howling like ghosts and wolves, and was gradually being routed.
On the turbulent battlefield, seeing the Tauren army slip away quietly, the frustrated Troll army had no choice but to retreat and began to flee in panic.
Seeing this, Lei Xiao did not choose to continue to go deeper into the enemy's territory after chasing for a while. It is important to strike back at the enemy, but the flower fairy army has also suffered heavy losses. If the Dragonborn makes a surprise attack on the flower fairies at this time, then all our efforts will be in vain. It is best to contact the flower fairies as soon as possible.
Soon, Ice Stone City had reappeared at a safe distance from the army of flower fairies.
"Your Majesty, what should we do next?"
Seeing that they were not far away from the army of flower fairies, a hint of nervousness emerged on Chris's fair face.
In any case, the flower fairies and wood fairies are real distant relatives, and now that they meet on the battlefield, Chris is naturally a little at a loss.
"Don't be nervous, we saved them."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly, nodded to everyone and said: "Okay, let's prepare to leave the city. It's time to find out the truth about the key."
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, everyone nodded excitedly. As one of the four armies, the flower fairy must have mastered the key truth, otherwise she would not have been able to march in such a large scale at night and then fight fiercely with the enemy.
In addition, what is currently known is that the key is in our territory. As long as we guard this area well, we will undoubtedly get the key.
Thinking of this in their hearts, everyone couldn't help but get excited, and then, led by Lei Xiao, they flew towards the outside of Bingshi City.
Not long after, when Lei Xiao and his group appeared at the gate of Bingshi City, at the foot of the mountain directly opposite them, a group of figures who looked very similar to Chris had already come to meet them.
