The moment Elline and Oriana saw the ranger captain falling into the dust, and the moment they saw these demonic armies flooding in from the direction of the royal court like locusts, they already understood:

The fall of Cyberhome was already destined.

Even the whole of Cormanthor is doomed!

I don’t know how many years ago, the high elves, the original ‘gardeners’ of the forest, came here, and they built the original habitat around Lake Seber, which was Seberholm.

Near the elf tree in the north, they saw the miracle of the supreme god Corellon, so they established a new settlement there, caring for the trees carefully like royal gardeners, and breaking the 'eternal shadow' with the magic clearing built under the tree.

', large and dangerous beasts were driven out and slaughtered in large numbers after high-frequency hunting activities, bringing peace and tranquility to the elves' homeland for decades.

Later, they established the Kingdom of Cormanthor, which to this day is still known to the world as the Elf King Timmis Drannor.

It's just that Seberholm, adjacent to Mith Drannor, is far higher than the rest of the forest under the irrigation of pure lake water. The limestone caves that once provided a perfect refuge for the elves have now become an excellent hiding place for the outstanding people on the surface.

It is located near the Flaming Star and Moonlight Hills, and is one of the three important elven settlements of Cormanthor in the history of the region. Today, five centuries after the Kingdom of Cormanthor has been annihilated, the pure-blood elves and the drows

The battle for your stronghold in Seberholm has been frequent and fierce, and it has changed hands several times.

But no one, no matter the elves or the drow, probably thought that this peaceful and sacred Lake Sebo would one day be visited by creatures like demons.

That kind of shock, despair and powerlessness is probably no less than that of Kang Shuaifu and Tongyi Instant Noodles, who have been fighting for a lifetime, and the dimensionality reduction impact on their sales and financial reports when they first saw the fall of Meituan.

Due to the existence of the Mystery of the High Elves, at least in the depths of this vast forest, they do not have to worry about opponents other than drow.

Therefore, the defense measures for this elf stronghold developed around Sebo Lake still exist in the form of primitive sentry towers, forest villages, etc.

As for the city wall?

Is that kind of thing useful to the drow who have long been accustomed to "flying over the walls" in the Underdark?

But without strong city walls, not enough manpower, and no large-scale attack methods that can 'clear the map' in a short time, what can they do to resist the torrent of demons in front of them?

Although the elves of Cormanthor have never dealt with creatures like demons head-on, rumors about demons have long spread throughout the entire continent of Corel.

What impressed them even more was that less than 170 years after the fall of Mith Drannor, the Ellan Elf Empire in the west of the Northland was declared destroyed.

It is said that the root cause of its destruction was the sudden appearance of an abyss gate at Cape Esko and the swarming demon army.

The irony is that in many human historical records and maps, it is still named Hellgate Castle. I wonder what the devils under Baator who take the blame every day will think when they find out.

Oriana looked at the direction where Silalinda disappeared, with a look of pain uncontrollably in her eyes, and then she spoke very quickly to Elline, who still seemed unable to accept the scene in front of her:

"My sister, get out of here quickly!

"Pass the news that this place is invaded by demons. Only in this way can more elves have a chance to escape.

"In this way, we have failed to live up to the efforts and sacrifices of Hilalinda and the others!"

Of course Ellini also understood this and immediately asked:

"how about you?"

Oriana looked in the direction of the demon army and said:

"Someone must stay here to stop them for a while, otherwise with the speed of this demon army and the evacuation speed of the civilians, they won't be able to escape much."

Ellini also knew that this matter was extremely urgent, but she still couldn't accept this fact. More importantly:

"But the terrain here is flat, even if you stay,"

The implication is that even if you stay as a ranger unit, you will not be able to stop this demonic army for a moment.

But before she could finish speaking, Oriana, the elf sister, held her cheek:

"Honey, believe me, when have you ever seen me do something meaningless?

"If so many of you were drow, I would go with you without saying a word, but since you are a demon, you can still give it a try.

"Besides, I haven't lived enough yet. I promised to be a guest at your home and eat the candied fruits you made by yourself.

"So if I am lucky enough to persist to the end, I will try to lure and shunt these demons in the direction of the Soundless Valley.

"Finally, Elline, didn't you say that you would move to the North with all your compatriots who yearn for Minas Tirith?

"I think it's time.

"This is undoubtedly the worst of times.

“But it’s also the best opportunity.

"I believe you can do it

"Only you can do it"

As she spoke, Oriana kissed Ellini's smooth forehead gently,

"Go, Elline."

Then he pushed the tearful half-elf girl down the treetop, just like the stern appearance of the big sister when he first met her:

"Run! Elline!"

Falling towards the ground, Ellini resisted the urge to cry out and closed her eyes suddenly. Her tears turned into thousands of light spots like a broken silver screen and disappeared into the forest.

Having been a ranger for half a century, she knows better than any other elf the significance of instant messaging, especially battle reports.

Sometimes it is just a momentary delay, but the price paid may be thousands of lives!

So when she opened her eyes again, there was no longer any hesitation or hesitation in her eyes. She lightly touched her slender and pale wrist on the pine branch, and her body, which was so light that it seemed without any weight, turned 270 degrees like a harrier.

Yue stepped heavily on the extremely elastic branches, like a fully drawn long bow, shooting herself like a sharp arrow towards the southern forest.

At the same time, the locations of all the elf and half-elf strongholds in the entire Cormanthor Forest came to mind, and he quickly sketched out the most efficient route of travel planning.

And every time this happened, the hope in her heart to make Zelandia stronger became stronger.

Because if this was the Northland, she could completely rely on the slimes and Kaka's Mobile Dream Network to achieve divergent message transmission, which would undoubtedly save more lives.

Just when Ellini was about to run out of the limit of her field of vision, the cry of Oriana Windspeaker came from behind:

"My people! The time has come for us to fight to the death!

"Life is worth fighting for!

"For the glory of Myth Drannor!"

"For the glory of Myth Drannor!"

The elven defenders of Cyberholm shouted in unison.

After all, Ellini couldn't hold back the throbbing and sadness in her heart, and looked back in the direction of Seberholm.

Then she saw a magnificent scene that she would probably never forget in her life.

As Oriana raised the scimitar in her hand, the entire Seberholm jungle seemed to resonate with it, the grass and trees began to move with the wind, and the lush leaves also danced.

"Buzz buzz"

An ancient oak tree that had been planted for centuries suddenly rose up from the ground, like a giant waking up from a deep sleep. It picked up a pale boulder from its feet and threw it towards the approaching demonic invaders.

The rocks kept flipping in the air, and soon they were like rolling mills falling into a mill, and the entire forward area of ​​the demon torrent was dented on the spot.

It's just that the demons who have long been accustomed to brutal bloody battles on the battlefield are not afraid of such a small scene. There is not even the slightest ripple, and they continue to roll forward like a mudslide, but soon more boulders crash down.

Because within Cyberhomme, tens of thousands of ancient tree people seemed to hear the distant bells, and like soldiers on the march, they used their bodies to form the city wall that guarded Cyberhomme!

On their shoulders and behind them, more than two thousand Windspeaker rangers who were looking forward to death were constantly shooting the sharp arrows in their backpacks towards the invading demon army like rain.

At that moment, Ellini seemed to see through them the scene when the ancestors had just arrived on the continent of Corel and took root, fighting against the titans and dragons that were almost impossible to defeat.

At that time, they used this countless method of death to exchange for the chance of survival for the people behind them.

A booming explosion suddenly broke Ellini's illusion.

I saw the sky over there suddenly became cloudy, and then violent lightning struck down crazily towards the torrent of demons.

Ellini also finally understood the confidence behind Oriana's words. As a member of the Windspeaker Guardian family inherited from the Elf Royal Court, she had been taught how to use the Mystery Lock in the Cormanthor Forest.

The tens of thousands of ancient war trees and thunderstorms at the moment should all be the defense mechanism of Mystic Lock triggered by Oriana.

However, there are loopholes in this defense mechanism. In order to prevent it from being used for internal friction, it was originally designed to only be used against non-elven creatures.

Perhaps the designer of the mythical lock never imagined that the Elf Queen would actually degenerate into the Spider God Queen, leading an entire tribe of dark elves astray and becoming the drow who became the phantom god of the civil war.

But at least, at this moment, the Cormanso Mystery Lock is perfectly qualified for the mission assigned by its designer and history:

That is, when the elf stronghold suffers an inevitable devastating blow, it must delay the enemy at all costs and buy time for the surviving compatriots behind them to escape.

"The Glory of Mith Drannor"

Waves of murmurs seemed to float in the wind from the shadows.

Valley of Deafness?

Elline looked towards the valley where the sound came from, the road to Rethavi at the junction of Pillars and Ethebra, which was the ancient cemetery of the elves of Cormanthor.

That is the burial place of the elves, and it is also their sacred place. The elves will not stay or settle there, and the drow will avoid this area as resolutely as humans.

Because there is still a guardian spirit lingering there who refuses to go to the Kingdom of Elf God and still resides in the main material plane.

Thinking of this, Ellini finally gained some confidence in Oriana. She took one last look at the resolute back and murmured:

"Sister Oriana! You must come back alive."
