Chapter 94: Rose of Thorns
Chapter 94: Thorn Rose
Hundreds of miles away, the north shore of Mirror Lake.
At sunset and dusk, a fully armed army came outside the city of Doraetu.
The glow of the setting sun shines on the earthen city, covering it with a golden coat, but it cannot hide its decadent aura.
This once bustling and noisy city has completely turned into ruins. Only three walls are intact. There are several frightened foxes and rats running past the open gate. A black crow stood on the top of the half-collapsed arrow tower and screamed shrillly.
The female elf gently pulled the reins, and the beautiful unicorn under her seat stopped obediently.
Unicorns are level 3 monsters, and they are not much different from ordinary horses. They are just horns that can release lightning, and scales are covered with above the beast's hooves.
Legend has it that this kind of monster is only close to the pure pure woman and is known as the son of the forest. It has outstanding wisdom and ability, and can travel thousands of miles a day and be able to use magic to counterattack the enemy if necessary.
Even among the elves, there are not many people with unicorns. The reason why this female elf who is at the forefront of the army can own one is because her name is Qianqian.
Sisian Paint, the granddaughter of the Paint family of the Elf Empire, and a noble officer known as the Rose of Thorns. He has just turned twenty this year.
She has long black and purple hair, a beautiful and elegant nose, comparable to the bright black eyes of stars, long pointed snow-white ears, and a graceful and upright body...
If it weren't for the cold and frosty expression, I don't know how many people would have fascinated such a charming posture!
The elf knights following her were obviously absent-minded. Their eyes were always on Xiqian, but they were afraid that they would be unhappy by the other party's discovery. The conflicting mentality made these elf knights who were as handsome as women seem to be without masculinity.
In fact, among the elves who regard women as the pride, many male elves are not even as strong as those of brave and warlike black elves - the latter are all women.
Looking at the completely desolate city in front of her, a trace of evil spirit flashed in her eyes. She could fully understand the anger of the Legion Commander Alicia.
These orcs are so arrogant!
The Third Unicorn Legion has never dealt with it too seriously. The beast tribes remaining on the northern edge of the Whispering Forest thought that there were many goblin tribes to clear them out, and these reptile-like flea-like existences will naturally be annihilated over time.
But reality gave Alicia a heavy slap. Doraetu City fell, the Earth Flame Tribe fell, and Terina, who had some relationship with Alicia, was unknown in life and death!
The Unicorn Di Third Legion lost an important source of income, and even affected this year's expansion plan.
She suddenly turned around, her voice colder than the ice on the snow peak: "Have the scouts heard back yet?"
The elf knight who was swept by her eyes was immediately sweating profusely, lowering his head and not daring to speak.
Several elves knights next to them couldn't help but look at gloating.
Trepid! ~
A crisp and loud eagle song pulled the elf knight out of his embarrassing situation. He seemed to grab a life-saving straw, and hurriedly raised his arms and let out a long whistle.
A blue-gray falcon fell from the air and stood firmly on his arm.
This is a rare second-level monster, Blue-winged Falcon, with extremely fast flying speed and a pair of extremely keen eyes. After being tamed, it can be used to convey messages and detect enemy situations.
The Elf Knight took out a circle of paper from the log tube tied to the foot of the green-winged falcon, and did not bother to open it and presented it directly to Xiqian: "Sir, news from the scout team!"
Xiqian took the paper roll expressionlessly, opened it and looked carefully, and her face became more gloomy.
The black elves scout team sent by the advance army spent several days searching on the northern edge of the Howling Forest, and no trace of the beast tribe was found. They contacted several goblin tribes and only got a little news.
The one who destroyed the Earth Flame Tribe was likely to be a beast tribe called Mad Hammer. This tribe was originally very weak, but suddenly rose in just a few months, and even destroyed the Green Field Tribe and took its valley camp for itself.
Due to the arrival of winter, other goblin tribes did not immediately launch revenge, and did not expect that they would dare to attack the Gyrophyt tribe.
Another news is that a scout sent by the scout team to the direction of the former Luye Tribe Camp was unknown and there was no scope within the specified time, so there was a high possibility that something might have happened.
At present, the scout team is rushing there at full speed, and once the enemy situation is discovered, it will be immediately
The end of this secret message is written with a name, which is the new leader of the Mad Hammer Tribe.
"Mad Hammer Tribe, Leon!"
The rose-colored lips gently spit out their names, and Sisian's eyes turned to the north.
The evening sun is like blood.
In the north, the southwest province of the Kingdom of Bemon.
Leon once again set foot on this land that was truly controlled by the beast tribe, but this time he was no longer surrounded by a few people, but more than 1,700 tribe members and more than 2,000 affiliated tribes.
The responsibility on his shoulders was too heavy.
That night, the Crazy Hammer Tribe camped in the forest on the north bank of the Nucang River. Because there were not enough tents, the soldiers lit many bonfires to let everyone take turns to rest.
This edge forest is not very big. The mountains ahead are vast northern grasslands.
If you don’t consider that there are too many inconveniences in marching at night, you can actually achieve it at night.
By the bonfire, Xue Ni carefully poured the boiled boiling water into the tea cup. The tea leaves inside rolled up and down, and a faint fragrance was emitted with the rising heat.
She pursed her lips and blew a few sips of the hot tea, blew away the tea residue floating on it, and then delivered it to the front of Leon.
Leon was not polite either. He took the teacup and drank it all, regardless of whether it was hot or not. The heat flowed from his throat and rushed straight into his lungs, making him feel comfortable all over.
Xue Ni took the empty cup and started pouring a second cup of tea.
"Sister Xue Ni, don't be too accommodating to him. If he wants to drink tea, he won't pour it down by himself?" Qiangwei, who was beside him, couldn't help but speak out. She couldn't stand Xue Ni's gentle service to Leon, and Leon's uncle's style.
"Ha!" Leon smiled and said, "I'm happy, you're too busy with it, right?"
This little girl is unhappy, and Leon is even more unhappy! What a tender little cabbage that seems to be unable to swallow. What else is more depressing than this?
According to Elder Monstein, Xue Ni has a good talent, but it will take at least one to two years to become a formal shaman.
This means that in the past or two years, Leon can only look at it and be jealous, and can't be pushed down by hugging and kissing!
If you whine again, you will push you down! Leon thought evilly in his heart.
He is not a fool, of course he can sense the favor Qiangwei has towards him and the little jealousy towards Xue Ni.
But this little girl is not as gentle and well-behaved as Xue Ni, with a stubborn personality and a good face. Leon has been busy with tribal affairs recently, so he can't have any thoughts on hunting for beauty.
His current thoughts are all on how to rebuild a new territory for the Crazy Hammer Tribe. It is not that everything will be fine when it comes to the southwest province.
The real trouble is still coming!
When I visited Tormond last time, Leon had some knowledge of the situation in this area of the southwest province.
The nearest city here is called Grey, a medium-sized city with a population of about 50,000. The Rock Fortress near Grey is stationed in two battle groups of the garrison troops of the southwest province.
Since the Bemon Kingdom moved northward, many tribes have disappeared and merged, and the Bemon beasts have also lived in the city like humans. Many beasts have expanded their families and established new territories, and placed their children in the army.
This is very similar to the state of the human race. The land of the kingdom is either owned by the kingdom itself or divided up by various families.
As the last migrating beast tribe, how should the Crazy Hammer Tribe have a foothold?
Of course, Leon hoped to have his own territory, but he had no idea what to do, and he could only take one step at the moment.
"Elder, after our tribe leaves the forest tomorrow, I will go to Grey to meet the highest commander of Grey City to see if we can set a piece of territory for our tribe." After thinking about it for a while, Leon said to Elder Monstein: "After all, we cannot wander around, and it is not right to occupy a piece of land at will."
"Well!" Elder Monstein smiled bitterly. He pointed to the land under his feet and said, "If I remember correctly, the land here was owned by a wolf family ten years ago. Strictly speaking, we have violated their territory."
"Invade the territory?" Qiangwei was stunned: "We are just staying here for the time being, not hunting here. Could it be that as a fellow tribe, they migrated from the whistling forest, and they still want to drive us away?"
"That's the worst case, it shouldn't happen..." Elder Monstein's voice became low: "But we must be prepared. The current behemoth is not the behemoth decades ago, nor the behemoth hundreds of years!"
Leon knew in his heart that the worst case that Elder Monstein said was very likely to happen.
His experience in Tormond City made him know that the beast tribes also have various power struggles, and they can completely abandon their moral conscience for the sake of their interests. The Kingdom of Bemon is not a paradise dream paradise, and the people living here are far less united than the beast tribes in the Howling Forest.
"Don't worry, everyone..." Leon smiled and said, "If the Kingdom does not give us an explanation, then I will go directly to Archbishop Farns for help!"
Even though he said so, in Leon's heart, he was not willing to look for the Archbishop again.
There is no free lunch in this world, and you have to pay a price to get it.
Ask an archbishop for help, the price will definitely not be low!
