Chapter 420: Orcs and Elves(1/2)
In fact, the "ghost group" had already discovered the other party's existence when the Elf sailing ship was still at the end of the field of vision.
Raymond and the others looked like survivors who had encountered a shipwreck and were stranded on an isolated island. They were about to wave and ask for directions, but when they saw the densely packed pursuit of more than a hundred black and shabby sailboats behind them, they immediately gave up the idea.
Obviously, this was not a passing elf sailboat, but one that was driven here in a panic.
But after discovery, they couldn't avoid it.
The "ghost group" is now in a very embarrassing situation. They are trapped on this floating island and cannot go anywhere.
They can see each other, and obviously the other party can see them.
If you control the "Golden Ghost" to jump away from the island now, you will be discovered immediately.
Fortunately for the elves, it is said that they love peace and don't like killing. Even if they don't know each other, there is probably no danger.
But the guys on the boat who were chasing the high elves didn't look so easy to offend. They all had animal heads and human bodies, and their eyes looked fierce. They obviously didn't look like humans, but more like "monsters".
"What on earth are those monsters chasing the elves?"
Raymond suddenly had a very bad feeling.
"Orcs?"
He frowned as he looked at the names of the humanoid monsters displayed on the system.
This is an "unknown creature" that has never been seen in the game. They look like humans and have limbs, but their skin is hairless brown like goblins.
Their heads have all kinds of strange shapes, including fish scales, feathers, animal hair...
Almost all animal forms can be found in this group of monsters, including birds, beasts, insects...
There are teeth on the abdomen, mouthparts on the tail, octopus tentacles... all kinds of strange things, like a combined monster made of Warcraft and humans.
But they all have a face that is not ugly and makes people feel very disgusted at a glance.
Uh... It's the kind of feeling that at first glance, you are ugly to the depths of your soul.
...
Raymond and the others were hiding on the Golden Ghost, praying that this pursuit would not affect them.
But just by chance, the elf sailboat that was in a panic flew straight towards their floating island, and then landed at a speed like a crash. There was a "crash" of wood chips, and the wooden boat was on the small boat.
It was smashed to pieces in the open space of the town.
Then, after this group of elves made a "hard landing", the entire floating island was surrounded by those black sailboats.
After the dust cleared, dozens of high elves with pointed ears and blue eyes rustled out from the ruins of the shipwreck.
They have exquisite facial features, fair skin, and slender figures. Even if they are so embarrassed, they all exude a poet-like elegance. The men are handsome and handsome, and the women are graceful and soft, and they all look very eye-catching.
"It's not that bad..."
At this moment, Raymond had no interest in watching those beautiful elves who appeared to be walking out of exquisite two-dimensional wallpapers. Instead, his eyelids twitched.
He felt that the elves might have regarded this town as their last fortress and wanted to use street fighting to deal with the pursuers. And coincidentally, this floating island was the only one nearby with a solid building that could be used as a stronghold.
As if to confirm his idea, just after the group of elves disembarked, a female elf who seemed to be the leader shouted loudly: "Everyone enter the town to find bunkers and prepare for positional warfare! Even if we die, we must let those dirty
Dirty Orcs pay the price!"
The violent crash just now left the panic on the faces of this group of high elves still not dissipated. But when they plunged into the town, they were suddenly stunned by the sight in front of them.
Because, they discovered the "Golden Ghost".
Although this steel toad was simply disguised by the building, it still looked very abrupt and incompatible with the surrounding environment.
"Captain, look, there is something strange there..."
"It looks like an iron toad?"
"Then there's still white smoke coming out of the toad's mouth... isn't it a living monster?"
"Everyone, be careful, it may be an ambush from the orcs!"
"..."
Each of these elves held bows, arrows and wands, aiming at the "Golden Ghost", as if they were about to take action.
On the other hand, Raymond and others on the ship were a little surprised.
They were extremely surprised to find that these high elves did not recognize this kind of steel steam ship?
Although the shape of the "Golden Ghost" is a bit weird, anyone in the Endless Sea can tell at a glance that it is a steel steam ship!
But the elves in front of them were like seeing an "alien spaceship", and they had no idea what the Iron Toad was.
Colin looked a little weird and muttered: "Captain, our ship seems to be regarded as a strange thing..."
Anna turned her eyes, showed a thoughtful expression, and analyzed: "It is estimated that the elves have been isolated from the world in the secret realm for countless years. They may not even know that the human world has developed a steam civilization, so when they see us
That's why the ship is so strange..."
Nicole said with a look of disbelief: "I just paid special attention to their ship equipment and found that the artillery equipped on their sailboat is actually... the most primitive gunpowder energy iron cannon?"
"It should be because it is isolated from the world. It still maintains the style of the ancient mythological period."
Raymond nodded, remembering an introductory line about the elves in the game, and added: "It is said that the high elves love poetry, music and literature. They are a legendary, romantic and advanced intelligent race. As for technology,
They think it is something that only vulgar craftsmen like dwarves would tinker with. Probably, after being isolated from the world for so many years, they have never thought about developing technology..."
Hearing this, everyone's faces showed a hint of surprise.
Only this explanation sounds reasonable.
At this time, Colin asked again: "Captain, what should we do now?"
Obviously, now we are not wondering why the technological level of this secret realm is so backward, but rather how to solve the current dilemma.
After a pause, Colin suggested again: "The artillery systems of the black sailboats surrounding this floating island are also very backward. Although there are enough in number, they do not pose much of a threat to the 'Golden Ghost'. If there is an artillery battle, we have
Absolute advantage. However, the only trouble is that their ships can fly..."
"Artillery battle?"
Upon hearing Colin's suggestion, a flash of light flashed across Raymond's eyes, and he was thinking of countermeasures in his mind.
Because the distance was very close, he could clearly see the faces of the high elves in front of him. They all looked young, and they even had a childish look in their eyes.
It can be guessed that these elves should not be too old.
Moreover, what surprised Raymond even more was the strength of these high elves.
With his powerful perception, he clearly sensed the "qi" of these dozens of elves. The strongest one, a female elf called the captain, was only at the level of a human Transcendent Sequence 5 or so.
Moreover, not only the elves in front of him, but what surprised Raymond even more was that the tens of thousands of "Qi" floating on the more than a hundred ships surrounding the floating island were not strong!
In perception, the strongest aura is only around the level of a human Sequence 4.
More than 90% of other Qi's strength is only at the low level of sequence 8 or 9...
There was no abnormally strong presence in his perception, and Raymond breathed a sigh of relief.
In truly large-scale wars, low-level supernatural battles are a common phenomenon. A battle like the Kingdom of Giants begins with top-level supernatural beings directly participating in hand-to-hand combat, which is truly a special case.
I always hang out with some top-level bosses, and the level of emergencies I encounter are ridiculously high.
Now that he encountered a "normal" war, Raymond almost thought it was another dead end.
Looking at it now, if they really have to fight, their chances of winning are not small.
After thinking for a while, Raymond made a decision.
He said to everyone: "Get ready to fight! We want to save those elves..."
The captain gave the order, and the other members of the "ghost group" had no objections and responded: "Yes, captain!"
The orcs on those black sails are hideous and look like "monsters". This battle is definitely inevitable.
Moreover, the ultimate goal of Raymond and the others coming to the secret realm this time, whether it is the [Moon Stone] or the ancient dwarf common language, they have to go to the elves to seek help.
Helping these elves now is helping themselves.
.......
While Raymond and the others were hiding in the "Golden Ghost" to discuss countermeasures, the elves outside were not idle either.
In the eyes of this group of high elves, this world full of demons is either the elves or the enemy!
They couldn't tell the origin of this huge iron toad, so they decided to try it with an arrow first.
At this moment, the female elf captain raised her hand and pulled out a gleaming blue feather arrow from the quiver on her back, then put it on the bow and aimed at the Iron Toad.
Seeing them being targeted, Anna warned: "Captain, we are being targeted!"
"Is this a magic feather arrow?"
Raymond looked at the increasingly brighter magical light on the arrow, and immediately realized that the elf captain in front of him, who was around Sequence 5, was quite powerful. The power of this arrow might even threaten high-level transcendent beings.
Archers and musketeers have similar professional characteristics. They rely heavily on equipment, and the equipment's bonus to combat effectiveness is very high.
The bow and arrows in the female elf's hands were of extraordinary quality, at least a gold-level bow.
As for that arrow, it was probably a high-level alchemical magic arrow.
