Chapter 397: Act 116 Final Battle (4) (1st update, requesting subscription and recommendation) _2
It was a grand and mighty war, a truly epic battle in which all nations and races poured their whole efforts, fighting for freedom and honor. As Sanfde retaliated with his short bow, he inexplicably felt that he had already come to love this feeling.
It wasn’t just about being a mercenary.
...
When the long sound of the horn echoed, it swept across the entire battlefield like a distant dragon’s roar. No matter how far away, almost everyone stopped.
It was the Silver Elf’s war horn——
Conrad’s expression changed repeatedly. From his position, he couldn’t see the two wings obscured by the forest and naturally didn’t know what was happening there. But the dragon horn’s sound wouldn’t lie. After nearly three hundred years of seclusion, the Silver Elves appeared again! This Paper Card Mercenary Group leader firmly believed that the whole situation was messed up by that bafflingly stupid, pompous lizard leader, Yohkel, who had the taste of a nouveau riche. But he wasn’t thinking of how to find that useless creature and beat it up.
Because that damned lizard wouldn’t have a good outcome either, and he didn’t want to lose his life here. The dragon horn only meant one thing: one of the strongest battle units among the Silver Elves—the Phoenix Guard was on the battlefield.
He wondered if the Silver Elf High-class Cavalry and the Holy Song Knights (Unicorn Knights) were also present. If they were, he wouldn’t even have a place to cry. The Holy Song Knights were the legendary army that once charged at a phalanx of Miners numbering up to one hundred thousand, singing the ancient songs of the Silver Elf Empire.
Thinking of this, he lost his will to battle, merely glaring hatefully at Brand from a distance before retreating. The agility of the Wizard Hunter was not low, and Conrad’s figure floated backward like a dead leaf merging into the forest background.
Brand froze, fearing Conrad would go around them to cause trouble in the rear. At this moment, the Silver Elves could handle the Lizardmen, but if a Lower Gold Wizard Hunter joined, things would be harder to say. He immediately shouted to the Silver Elf Princess rushing in: "Medisha! Stop him!"
In fact, Medisha had already thought of this without Brand’s reminder. She lowered her long spear and immediately activated her charge skill—the Unicorn Knight’s speed was already frighteningly high. At this moment, she looked like a silver comet, drawing a beautiful arc along the forest edge. The next moment, she and her mount blocked Conrad’s retreat.
"Mr. Conrad, you have done too much evil. Please stay; you and your companions, for ignoring the dignity of the living and desecrating the peace of the dead, you must pay the price for this——"
Medisha crossed her long spear, while her Unicorn companion turned to face the man cloaked in black and red stripes. She spoke with a clear voice.
Conrad gritted his teeth secretly; he didn’t want to say much to this Silver Elf Knight. Brand’s order deepened his suspicion—it seemed the opponents were confident and determined to keep them here. This was a trap. Although he didn’t know what relationship this party had with the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group and Ecco, he was deeply wary now.
"Damn, the Holy Song Knights’ women!"
He cursed internally and dashed in another direction. But how could his speed compare to the Unicorn’s? As he turned, the Silver Elf Princess was already coldly waiting on his escape route.
Conrad tried three times, and three times he was intercepted like this. He was already a bit panicked. The opponent dared to fearlessly block him, surely relying on something. The ancient empire came to his mind; while the Shepherd Tree Men might not fear a battle with these proud saplings, he certainly couldn’t.
He couldn’t expect to deceive this Silver Elf girl as he did with the red-haired girl Qian. Before him was one of the most combat-skilled nations on the continent. Only fools would expect such a foe to make mistakes.
So, it seemed he had only one move left.
...
But as Medisha intercepted Conrad, Brand, who had just grabbed Qian’s arm to retreat, suddenly felt a darkness before him; a cold and dangerous aura approached, and without thinking, he could guess what was coming—Earth Envoy, Eckmen.
Only it could keep up with his charge speed——
The gigantic monster raised its forelimbs, its height three times that of an adult, seemingly blocking out the sunlight. Then, it screeched forward with a direct cleave, the air tumultuous. Brand felt the ground beneath him lift and then shatter in an instant.
Element, the Power of Stone.
Without thinking, he turned and embraced Qian and flew forward, both rolling several times in the forest——and at that moment Eckmen’s palm struck down with a thunderous crash, soil flying, stones rising to form a cage around the boss’s hand.
To others, it seemed like the giant monster pressed the rocks from the ground, forming five stone claws tightly grasping upwards. But once its hand left the ground, these rocks instantly crumbled into dirt, reverting back into the forest...
Brand climbed up from the ground, seeing this scene, he couldn’t help but gasp; though the strategy mentioned Eckmen’s rough strength and preferred tactics, facing it in reality was a different experience.
Now he felt somewhat reminiscent of the time when he was over Level 40. That time, Torrential rain opened a new version ’Templar Knights,’ and he, Senior Sister Squad Leader, and others joined the RAID on the new map for the first time. The BOSS who had refined ’elements’ left a profound impression on them——
It was the first time players learned about the Templar Knights and the element boundary.
But now it seemed he had to re-recognize this boundary.
...
(PS: Made a foolish mistake yesterday while writing, = =, the Earth Envoy said it’s called Eckmen—understandably. After all, you can’t always make out what a bug is called, especially when they can’t trill their tongues.)
