Chapter 18 Into the Forest
If anyone is talking about setting fire, he really can't compare with Joan, let alone Elanie who is helping him.
Ellani first released the "Great Water Mist" to make the branches and dead grass become wet, which will produce stronger black smoke after burning.
Qiong did not use violent magic like "Fire Dragon Technique" that can directly burn plants to ashes, but released a large-scale "Fire Rain Technique". Starry flames fell densely on the branches and leaves of trees, and at first they were just lits of flames, but soon they became pieces. The flames began to burn violently, and the rolling black smoke rose up. And Qiong had changed places and sprinkled fire rain again.
Elf is the son of nature, and any act of destroying nature makes elves feel heartbroken. When a large area of black smoke floated over the Red Brass Forest, many elves rushed out of the forest soon.
In the thick smoke above the elves, Arthur was holding back the pain of smoke and staring at their actions. He found that none of these elves ran out of the forest in a straight line, but two twists and turns leading out of the forest.
The straight line distance of this route is more than 300 meters long. At the end of the road is a square camp of nearly 10,000 square meters. Many elves wooden houses are built in the camp. There are more than ten such camps in the entire forest, each of which is not connected. They are separated by large red thorn trees. There are also small forest paths that circumvent the elves. Except for the elves, no one can understand it.
The entrances and exits between each camp are guarded by elves warriors, and a watchtower dozens of meters high is built at each corner of the camp, so the alert in the air is not relaxed.
With such a tight warning, ordinary warriors could hardly break in quietly. But Arthur and the others were extremely human. They approached the first watchtower in the direction of the spread of thick smoke, and the little fairy Gru landed on the top of the tower almost silently.
Gru's little head quietly poked out of the edge of the tower. Before the two elves were alert, a chill of cold air instantly wrapped them. The extreme frost that frozen the two elves was only a thin layer. The elves warriors on another watchtower a hundred meters away could not see any abnormality in the night.
Arthur, Huey and Lingyu fell down quickly and slid to the ground with the cover of the back of the tower.
Huey and Lingyu both had wings on their backs, leaning against the ground, and slapped their wings outside the door of an elf wooden house. The wooden house was empty, with four beds placed in pairs, and there were weapon hooks on the walls, but it was empty at this time. It was speculated that it should be the barracks of the elf warriors, and the soldiers should run out to put out the fire now.
Huey and Ling Yu searched several wooden houses one after another, and the arrangement of each room was basically the same. It seemed that the camp closest to the outside was the barracks of guarding soldiers. Judging from the scale of more than one hundred elves wooden houses, this camp was stationed with four or five hundred elves warriors and mages.
There is no valuable clue found in the first camp, so how to sneak into the next camp will become a problem. At this time, the black smoke in the sky has faded, and flying into the sky may be discovered.
At the critical moment, he had to rely on Gru. The little fairy controlled a mouthful of extreme cold air that was sprayed out within a very small range, and the spikes between the two red thorn trees were completely frozen, because of their height, only a section close to the ground.
The spikes of the Red Bramble Tree became extremely crisp after being frozen by the extreme cold. Arthur lay down and only climbed forward. After his head touched, it naturally broke and only a slight cracking sound was heard.
So Gru swayed in front of him and followed Arthur and the other two crawled behind him, leaving only a hole in the crotch of a tree behind him. If he didn't get close, he would be difficult to detect even during the day.
The straight-line distance between each camp in the Red Jing Forest is no more than fifty meters, and Arthur and his team can't even use half a quarter of an hour to climb over.
The second camp is still a military camp.
The third camp is still the case.
Arthur and the others chose to go straight forward and jumped over the camp side by side. If the camps next to them were also barracks, the size of the elves stationed in this Red Jing Forest would probably have three or five thousand people.
The number of elves warriors is much smaller than that of humans and beasts, and the individual combat power of grassroots warriors is also stronger than that of the two tribes. A elves army of 5,000 people is almost equivalent to that of an army of humans.
In peacetime without the threat of war, it always feels a bit strange to have a secret army in the border area.
The fourth camp was finally no longer a barracks, but a warehouse equipment area. In addition to food and some elves' standard weapons, Arthur unexpectedly discovered a lot of human weapons and equipment. These equipment were all kinds of and piled up in a warehouse. Arthur guessed that these things should be the spoils seized by the elves from the slave hunting group that broke into the rainforest and the elves' kingdom. In terms of quantity, nearly a thousand people died here.
These equipment are quite large, but they are all below the level of excellence, and there are not many high-quality equipment for enchanting. Now Arthur no longer looks down on these low-end equipment and has no time to pick out the enchanting equipment.
It was almost dawn at this time, and Arthur and the others had to slip out before dawn, otherwise they would be trapped in a lot of siege once exposed.
Arthur and Huey looked at each other quickly, "Looking at the last camp, we will evacuate whether we find it or not."
......
The great elf warrior Qi Abby and the great elf wizard have tracked all the way outside the Red Jing Forest.
On the way, Chiabi gradually realized an abnormality. The direction of the intruders' escape was the same as his own. Was it a coincidence or intentional way? When Chiabi saw the woods where the fire was not over, her uneasy feeling reached its peak.
"Are they really coming for us?" Chiabi turned his head and looked at the elf wizard beside him.
"The aura of those people suddenly disappeared here, and the other half went there." The direction of the elf great wizard's finger was the woods that caught fire before.
Qi'aibi reacted instantly, and his face became very ugly. He was chasing people and actually came to his home. A few of them must have been involved in the Red Jing Forest.
"You two go and help catch the fire. I'll report to Elder Hergon. You must find out the ones that broke in." Chiabi hurriedly explained and then rose up in the air.
Elder Hergon was awakened by the rushing knock on the door.
Elder Hergon slept very badly this night. First, Chiabi came to report that an ambushed hunting team was killed by all members. In the second, it caught fire outside the Hongjing Forest in the middle of the night. Hergon, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up again.
When Hergon opened the door, he was a little unhappy when he saw that it was Chiabi again. He didn't let him enter the room and said directly at the door: "Even if the person has been caught, there is no need to report it so early, right?"
Qi'aibi blushed and said hurriedly: "Elder, the man has not been caught yet, and several have slipped into the camp!"
Elder Hergon couldn't help but feel excited, and waved his arms and shouted: "I order all the soldiers to start searching now, and even if I search the entire camp, I will find people for me!"
