Chapter 0630: Unexpected Enemy Attack
The southern coast of Jialan Continent, Echo Islands.
This is a huge reef island group adjacent to the coastline.
Due to the tidal effect, this reef island group is submerged below the sea level for most of the year. Only in September and October when the storm season is approaching will this reef island group emerge, becoming a forbidden sea area that all navigators dare not easily set foot in.
Therefore, this Echo Islands was used by the pale witches to build a stable forward camp that continuously invades Jialan Continent.
The elves are not unaware of the harm brought to them by the Echo Islands, but they are helpless.
This is the only main island in the Echo Islands that is exposed above the sea level all year round. The witches have densely deployed a large number of defensive and offensive witch formations. In addition, a third-level senior witch is in charge. The price the elves need to pay to remove it is beyond imagination.
What's more, the Echo Islands are still sixty or seventy miles away from Jialan Continent. If the elves want to attack the main island, they can only dispatch a large navy and air cavalry. Once the elven navy was deployed, the jagged reefs around the Echo Islands that sank under the sea became their nightmare during the battle.
As for the elven air cavalry, if they set out from the nearest southern coastline, flew sixty or seventy miles to siege the witch stronghold with a solid fortress, most Pegasus and horned hippogryphs would not be able to support it physically. Therefore, the witch outpost camp in the Echo Islands has existed for one or two hundred years, but it has never been removed by the elves.
The only thing the elves could do was to build a new elven city, Green Water City, near the coastline closest to the Echo Islands, and stationed a powerful elven army there - the Wind Walker Army, to fight against the invasion of witches.
This Windrunner unit includes almost all the flying air units in the Elf Kingdom, from low-level flower fairies to high-level green goblins, from low-level Pegasus Knights to high-level Silver Pegasus Knights, as well as groups of Hippogryph Archers, Chimera Magic Beast Groups, Wind Eagle Assault Teams...
As long as it is a flying magic beast that can be found in the Jialan Continent, you can see them in Green Water City.
In addition to a large number of low-level druids and their summoned jungle companions, if the witches dare to invade Green Water City, then the first thing they need to face is the overwhelming flying magic beasts.
With the Green Water City and the huge Windrunner unit to contain them, the witches' invasion on the south coast seems to be a little weak and weak.
After the coalition forces of the Dark Witch and the Pale Witch crossed the ocean and stationed in the Echo Islands, facing the strictly guarded Green Water City, they could only send some witch teams to bypass the Green Water City area to do some small fights. Due to the existence of the Wind Walker troops and the fact that the elven villages around the coastline have moved inland, the witch team did not get much, and they had to bear great risks of life for this.
This also invisibly reduced the witches' war benefits, which caused serious dissatisfaction among the dark witches who came across the border!
Especially the third-level dark witch Usa who led the team, almost quarreled with the pale witches because of this.
Usa led the team this time, but he was entrusted by the witch leader. In addition to bringing back a small group of elves for the dark witches, he also had to try to obtain the supreme sacred object of the Pegasus clan - the magic spring water.
The expansion of the dark witches in the shadow plane was going smoothly, and they urgently needed to migrate in a group of high-level intelligent life that could reproduce by themselves. After choosing and choosing, they found that the Faen Forest Elves provided by the pale witches were the most suitable.
However, the elves that the pale witches regularly captured from the Fann plane were either elf warriors or elf archers, almost all of whom were strong and suitable for training as war slaves. This is a bit inconsistent with the expectations of the dark witches.
The dark witches hope to obtain a whole group of elves including the elderly, children, women and children, and the number must be at least 400. This will make it easier for the witches to observe and test the infection process of the shadow plane on the alien intelligent biological group.
As for the Pegasus Magic Spring, it is the key to the continuous production of Pegasus in the Magic Forest of the Jialan Continent. It is said that only when the pregnant Pegasus or Silver Pegasus returns to its own holy place Magic Spring and drinks the water of the Magic Spring, can the offspring born be the real Pegasus of Magic Beasts, otherwise it will only be ordinary wild horses.
This strange appearance has of course aroused the curiosity of the witches.
Recently, the dark witches are planning to cultivate a group of suitable flying witch beasts, so they are eager to obtain some of the magic spring water for research.
However, the Pegasus Magic Spring is far away in the depths of the Central Mountains, which is also an area heavily guarded by the elves, so although the dark witches are anxious, they dare not act rashly, and can only find ways to do it slowly.
Therefore, the Level 3 Dark Witch Usa had already been fed up with the pale witches occupying the periphery of the Jialan Continent without any major actions, and wished to part ways with them as soon as possible.
However, at this moment, she unexpectedly received a battle invitation that made her heart beat.
The battle invitation came from Alice.
Since the outbreak of the "Witch Disaster", the leader of the Fate Witch Alice relied on her powerful floating giant ship to break away from the pale witch's fleet and break into the Jialan Continent alone. For this huge metal fortress that can move freely, the side branch of witches has long been envious.
However, if such a huge floating warship wants to stay in the air for a long time and fight deep in the enemy-occupied area, the amount of magic crystals consumed every moment is also astonishing enough. Therefore, the side witches are not without such means, but they are really unable to support such terrible consumption of magic crystals.
As for the fate witches, the fate tower has been closed for thousands of years, and the amount of magic crystals stored must be astonishing, so they can consume magic crystals so extravagantly in a short period of time to make up for the shortcomings in combat power. For this, the witches of other branches are envious but not surprised.
The fate witches led by Alice have been in the Jialan Continent for half a month, and they must have gained something. But with their team this time, there is not even a third-level witch to hold the line. I guess they must have been beaten to a pulp by the powerful counterattack of the elves!
Now Alice actually took the initiative to invite the dark witches to act with them. It seems that they must have suffered a lot.
With a little snicker and contempt, the dark witch Usa accepted Alice's invitation to fight without hesitation.
…………
The 12th day of the Faen calendar month.
Two light elven warships were patrolling around the Echo Islands.
Compared with large human ships, elven warships are slightly smaller, with narrow and long hulls and relatively flat upper decks, on which many long-range magic machines unique to the elves, bird-winged crossbows, are placed.
Such elven warships are obviously not suitable for deep sea areas with huge winds and waves, so they cannot sail far. However, in the offshore areas near the coastline, due to their advantages such as fast speed and flexible steering, they have become the most common combat ships in the elven navy.
It was a sunny afternoon.
The sky was clear and the sea breeze was blowing.
The two elven warships were patrolling around the reef islands boredly, enjoying the beautiful and pleasant sea view while monitoring the witch's every move on the Echo Islands not far away.
And above their ships, some winged Pegasus flew into the air from time to time, carrying elven knights equipped with monoculars, silently monitoring the surroundings from high altitudes.
The snow-white horses, the broad white wings, and the elegant posture of walking in the air as if walking on the ground, made this group of Pegasus Knights attract everyone's attention. Elf warriors on both sides of the elven warship waved and greeted the Pegasus Knights loudly.
Although these magical Pegasus are majestic, their physical strength is far inferior to other flying magical beasts, so they are often only responsible for monitoring the airspace safety within three to five miles around the elven warship. The alert in the farther airspace is often responsible for the endurance of the horned eagle archers.
Today, the sea conditions are so good, and the blue sea and blue sky are beautiful. Therefore, the Pegasus Knights who were on alert were inspired to play the old trick of diving and stepping on the waves around the elven warship. One by one, the agile Pegasus carried the elven knights and swooped down from a height of two or three hundred meters, and suddenly pulled up horizontally when they were about to approach the sea surface. The four hooves of the unparalleled white Pegasus stepped on the rolling waves and walked on the waves between the ups and downs of the waves.
These thrilling scenes immediately triggered cheers from the elves. Even a lot of black spots appeared in the tall fortress of the Echo Main Island in the distance, peeking at this side from afar.
Sidaris wiped off the foam of the waves splashing on his face, and raised the flight altitude again amid the cheers and waves of the elves. The silver Pegasus under his crotch kept climbing hard, and finally came to the side of the Knight Hegus who was flying a hundred meters above the sky.
"Don't you want to go down and play for a while? It's rare to come to the Echo Islands. The witches dare not come out easily. It's just right for our old friend to relax his muscles. I've been stuck in the cabin for a while, and my bones are almost rusted..." Sidaris asked in a brisk tone, his eyes full of confusion.
Most of the air cavalry of the elves have been transferred to Green Water City, and even several powerful elf messengers are stationed there. The "witch disaster" that broke out this year was strangled by the elves at the source. So far, the large group of witches who attacked have not even had the opportunity to set foot on the elves' homes.
As for those sporadic witch teams that sneaked into the Jialan Continent under the cover of night, as long as they dared to show their heads, they would definitely not escape the pursuit of the elf wind runner troops and the elf strongmen.
So psychologically, Sidaris did not take the group of witches in front of him seriously.
It is said that the focus of the witches' attack this year is once again on the human-dominated Faen Continent, and the Jialan Continent is just bluffing. Therefore, as long as they survive the four-month low tide period and wait until the violent monsoon blows in the depths of the ocean, the witches can only retreat back to the evil Shadow Island again.
By then, the Echo Islands will also be swallowed by the surging sea water and sink under the sea again.
Without this powerful outpost, it will not be so easy for the witches to invade the Jialan Continent again.
Just as Sidaris was 'harassing' Hegus, the somewhat stubborn and eccentric Silver Pegasus Knight suddenly shook his body, pulled out a silver monocular from his waist, held it in front of his eyes and looked far away at the sea on the other side.
"Alarm... Alarm... Enemies are coming!"
The next moment, Silver Pegasus Knight Hegus suddenly sounded the piercing enemy attack siren on his body...chapter;
