Chapter 88 85: Warcraft Invasion

Over Linfeng City, Yuna drove Valkyrie towards the Linfeng Mountains.

"The White Raven is out."

Nolen looked at Evelin, "Tell me now, what happened over there in the Linfeng Mountains?"

“I don’t know the specific reason.” Evelin said in a deep voice: “However, I just summarized the recent reports from the Linfeng Mountains... The initial changes were actually revealed earlier. .

"About two months ago, frequent invasions of territory by monsters began to occur in the Linfeng Mountains, and their numbers have more than doubled compared to previous years.

"However, the city lord's palace at that time did not take timely measures against the abnormally increasing number of invasions by monsters, because... the war came at that time."

At that time, the grassland people were invading, and Linfeng City had too much to take care of itself. How could it mobilize troops to investigate and support the Linfeng Mountains on the other side?

Even after the war, there were countless things to do in the city to rebuild villages and resume production.

Those Warcraft invasion reports were also buried in higher-priority files and no one cared about them.

"Speaking of which, the day before yesterday I took over an incident involving the invasion of Linfeng Hills by monsters."

Nolen thought thoughtfully, "I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Now it seems that it is very strange for the rock-helmeted tortoise to leave its habitat and come to the hilly areas in winter."

The Rock Helmet Turtle is a native monster in the Linfeng Mountains. Because of its slow movement and habit of hibernating, there are almost no reports of sightings of it in winter.

Not to mention that they specifically left the mountains and came to the outermost hilly areas.

This is different from the normal situation where monsters accidentally enter human territory. It's just like...

It was as if they were driven away by something.

"Yes, there should not be such a large-scale invasion of Warcraft at this time."

Before coming, Evelin also checked Linfeng City’s data over the years, so she made the same judgment, frowning and said, “Something must have happened in the Linfeng Mountains, so I wanted to use the power of the White Raven. Go investigate what happened over there.”

"The top priority is to expel the monsters first and protect the safety of resource points." Nolen pondered.

"Send the 'tank' over there... No, if the battle location is in the mountains, I'm afraid I won't be able to use the Sky Burning Flame."

Sky Burning Flame is very effective in dealing with large-scale mobs, but its aftermath is too troublesome to deal with.

Even on the grassland where combustible materials are relatively barren, every time a tank is dispatched, mages from all departments of the Knights must make great efforts to extinguish the burning embers on the grassland.

Not to mention the Linfeng Mountains, which are densely covered with trees and are completely a virgin forest. Using high-level fire spells rashly will cause greater commotion and make the situation uncontrollable.

Set fire to the mountain and sit on the bottom of the prison.

But if you want to replace a suitable spell for a tank, what should you replace it with?

Destroy the beam?

However, the current tanks have not had time to be equipped with high-precision sights, and the huge wave of Warcraft is not suitable for destroying the beam. I feel that this is not the optimal solution.

"It's okay. The situation is not serious enough that tanks must be dispatched."

Seeing Nolen's frown, Evelin was relieved and said, "I have sent the knights to support, so this group of monsters will not overwhelm the defensive stronghold."

It was different from the invasion of the grassland people. At that time, all the masters in their clan came out, and a large number of high-level extraordinary people put a lot of pressure on Linfeng City.

Although there are high-level monsters in the Linfeng Mountains, their activities are concentrated in the depths of the mountains and they rarely wander around the edges.

The group of monsters that invaded the territory were mainly from the third to fifth levels. Although it was a bit troublesome to exterminate them in large numbers, they were not so large that Linfeng City was unable to resist.

As long as the most elite knights arrive, everything will be fine.

The main reason why she came here specifically to ask for help from Nolen and Yuna was that the White Raven could arrive at the battlefield faster, alleviate the urgent needs there, and later help the Knights find out the truth behind this wave of monsters.

After all, it is the best mobile and reconnaissance unit in Linfeng City.

……

Driven by the full speed of the Valkyrie flying wing, Yuna arrived at the Linfeng Mountains about two hours later.

This is one of the three major mountain ranges of the Roland Empire. The majestic ridges stretch as far as the eye can see. Even in winter, the place is covered with dense forest vegetation and is evergreen all year round.

"I have arrived."

Yuna called Nolen in the soul link, and at the same time lowered her altitude and flew towards the outermost human stronghold in the mountains.

In order to exploit the resources in the mountains, people will cut down the trees, reclaim the land, and build strongholds. Looking down from a high place, in a lush forest, the strongholds in the mountains are like patches of bald patches in the dense hair. conspicuous.

Nolen compared Yuna's first-person perspective with the mountain map placed in front of him, quickly determined her location, and said:

"This is one of our plantations. It is located deep in the mountains. It is also an area severely affected by the wave of monsters. Go and support them."

As the height continued to decrease, Yuna could already visually see the situation in the plantation.

In order to prevent the invasion of monsters, walls and barbed wires were erected outside all strongholds in the mountains, as well as neat rows of horses.

Some of the guards rely on these bunkers to fight, while others cast spells or shoot with bows on the watchtowers. It seems that they are performing their duties and are well-trained. A large number of corpses of monsters have fallen outside the plantation.

But there are too many magical beasts outside, and these guarding forces alone cannot handle such a large number. Instead, the high walls and barbed wires are deformed and twisted under the impact of the magical beasts, and the defense line is already in danger.

I saw a four-meter-tall brown bear hitting the outer wall of the plantation with its claws against the sharp barbed wire. A circle of earth-yellow ripples immediately rippled on the wall, instantly creating a gap in the wall. .

Not only does it have a stronger body than ordinary beasts, but it can also instinctively use magic power to induce visions and strengthen itself. This is what makes Warcraft powerful and difficult to deal with.

The one in front of me is a brown-armored bear, a fifth-level earth-type magic beast. It is characterized by its bad temper, tough fur, and immense strength.

The position where it broke through happened to be in the weakest area of ​​the plantation's defense force. The remaining guards were unable to deal with this threat for a while.

Yuna was about to go to help when suddenly there was a sharp cry in her ears, and a two-meter-long goshawk rushed towards her.

There are also monsters in the sky!

She turned sideways and passed by the goshawk, then raised her magic gun and quickly fired a wind blade at it.

The low-level monster could not escape the pursuit of the swift wind blade, and the goshawk was cut in half in the air.

After dealing with the goshawk blocking the way, Yuna swooped down, and at the same time, she switched the magic gun to another gear.

The brown-armored bear had just stepped into the plantation through a hole in the outer wall. She had already landed on top of its head, and a fiery red circle quickly unfolded.

This is an extremely tricky offensive position. The brown-armored bear is good at fighting enemies on the ground, but has difficulty reacting to attacks from directly above. In other words, Yuna has never appeared in its field of vision.

"boom!"

A violent explosion sounded, and the concentrated energy blast shattered the brown bear's head. The smoking headless corpse fell backwards, blocking the hole in the outer wall.

Then, Yuna raised the magic cannon in her left hand. She found a suitable angle in the air and cast a destructive beam at the group of monsters gathered on the outer wall.

Under her aim, the beam penetrated the bodies of more than a dozen monsters along the way, briefly leaving a no-man's land on the outer wall where no living person could enter.

If they were facing human troops, the strength displayed by the White Raven in these few seconds would be enough to make them fearful and slow down their attack.

But in just a breath, this uninhabited land was filled by the monsters who came one after another. Judging from their fearless spirit, they were more difficult to deal with than the human troops.

"There's no end to this..." Yuna rose into the sky again, overlooking the hundreds of monsters outside the plantation.

Even if Valkyrie is now equipped with a vermilion-level magic crystal, it does not mean that he can squander the magic power in his backpack wantonly.

Each of these monsters is not powerful when pulled out individually, but the victory lies in their numbers. Even if they just killed a dozen monsters with a beam cannon, it didn't seem to cause much damage to them.

It still feels like a loss, after all, one beam cannon consumes one-third of the magic power.

"There is no need to kill all the monsters outside."

Nolen said calmly, "Have you noticed that the real purpose of these monsters is not to destroy human strongholds?"

As a pilot, Yuna focused most of his attention on the battle itself, and his insight into the overall situation was not as sharp as his as a bystander.

After hearing Nolen's reminder, she calmed down and soon discovered something was wrong:

"They...just 'passed' here?"

The plantation was surrounded by monsters, but not all the monsters that moved behind were attacking the outer wall. Instead, they just bypassed the area and continued running outside.

This also explains very well why the plantation that bore the brunt of encountering a large number of monsters could persist for so long without falling.

It's not because the defense force here is particularly strong, but because the target of this group of monsters is not it at all.

Just like the grumpy brown bear, from beginning to end, only those who are curious or have a particularly strong desire to attack will attack the human strongholds along the way, but these are only a minority among the group of warcraft.

"So, there is no need to waste magic power, just kill the monsters that threaten us." Nolen concluded.

Yuna nodded, put down the magic cannon in her left hand, and pulled out the knight's sword from her waist.

If you want to fight a war of attrition with these low-level monsters, hand-to-hand combat is a more cost-effective option. Her level 5 knight strength is enough to handle such situations.

After that, she would patrol the sky above the stronghold. Wherever there were monsters trying to attack the outer wall and enter the plantation, she would fall from the sky or launch wind blades or slash her knight's sword to kill them all.

After a long stalemate with the group of monsters outside, suddenly the shouts of human troops came from outside.

"The reinforcements have arrived." Yuna looked up into the air.

Although they set off earlier than Yuna, the Knights' support team still arrived two hours after her.

This was a mixed team of thousands of knights and the Linfeng Legion. When they arrived at the Linfeng Mountains, the various strongholds that had been struggling to support were finally liberated.

The knights waved their swords, the mages cast spells, and the reinforcements continued to advance inward against the tide of monsters, leaving countless corpses of monsters along the way, and finally pushed the defensive front to the plantation, which was the edge of Linfeng City's territory.

Seeing the fluttering flags raised high by the Knights, the guards on the watchtower were relieved and sat on the ground as if they were exhausted.

After fighting with this huge group of monsters for a whole day, both physical and mental fatigue reached the limit.

If it weren't for the mysterious reinforcements that dropped from the sky and joined the battle midway, greatly easing the defensive pressure, they might have collapsed in despair midway.

Here, the mages of the Knights raised a temporary protective shield on the outer wall of the plantation to protect the guards from opening the gate and meeting the reinforcements.

"Thank you for your hard work. I am Agathe, captain of the eighth team of the Knights."

The knight headed by the reinforcements dismounted and said, "Leave it to us. The Knights will protect everyone present."

"Great."

The guard wiped his sweat, then looked at the figure in the sky, "Is that... the legendary White Raven?"

At the beginning of the war, due to the blockade by the grassland people, the defenders of the Linfeng Mountain stronghold lost contact with Linfeng City, and they could only hear about the situation in the city.

Including the victory ceremony after the war, most people stationed here did not have time to go back and see it.

Therefore, they only heard that a mysterious and powerful white raven appeared in Linfeng City, but they did not know whether this rumor was true or false.

"Yes, she is the White Raven."

Agathe raised his head and watched her figure gradually disappear into the distance, with a smile on his lips, "She is the goddess of victory in Linfeng City. As long as she appears on the battlefield, there is no battle that we cannot win.

"Although this wave of monsters looks dangerous, as long as she is here, it can be resolved smoothly."

"I see..." Seeing his confident expression, the guards quietly relaxed their worries.

The Knights are the elite of Linfeng City, and those who can join them are geniuses with high vision and outstanding talents.

Gaining their unconditional trust is enough to prove White Raven's reliability.

Moreover, it was the White Raven who helped them when they were in dire straits, which made the guards have a good impression of her.

Fans +1…

Fans +1…

Fans +1…

……

Yuna naturally didn't know what the people below were discussing about her. After confirming that the stronghold was not dangerous, she left here and began to trace the source of the monsters along the route they came from.

What drives the warcraft to leave their habitat and flock to peripheral human strongholds?

She planned to go deep into the Linfeng Mountains to investigate this issue carefully.
