Your war hammer is too fake

From now on, there will only be the Chaos Nest Clan in the world, and no trace of the Nest Clan anymore.

"It will stay here for now. I left a psychic message in its mind, which contains all the information it needs to know," An Jiyue nodded slightly, "Also, the follow-up disposal of the underground world in the south must be completed as soon as possible. At present, this place is almost empty except for the Reflection Fortress. The Chaos Nest may return to the underground world through the passage. In order to prevent the resurgence of Nurgle's corruption, I need you to blow up all the passages leading to the surface as soon as possible."

After a pause, the girl added, "Don't worry, those passages were not built by rift worms. They are either rock cracks caused by geological activities, or dug by various underground creatures themselves. They are all easy to deal with. In addition, I have talked to Barrel. We will divide the underground world of the South into three layers according to depth. The upper layer will become the territory of Plateau Castle, and the middle and lower layers will be returned to the cavemen."

That being said, there are only a little over a hundred cavemen left in the world, all of whom are special individuals who are naturally immune to [Cultivation]. God knows how long it will take to repopulate the underground world of the South. In addition, from a biological point of view, this population is not enough to maintain the genetic diversity of the cavemen. If they don't do something ruthless, it's only a matter of time before the cavemen become extinct. Unfortunately, An Jiyue promised the Nameless Worm that she would take care of the cavemen.

Thinking of this, the girl immediately thought of the biggest gain of this trip, the severed palm representing one seventh of Nurgle's authority. For this trophy, the Supreme War Codex took the initiative to provide a variety of treatment methods, which was extremely rare. The most wasteful method was to use it to heal Bing Ruolan's soul trauma... Yes, theoretically, as long as the Jiedushi returned to Xuanshui, he could let Xiuyanqing enter the land immortal realm again (forced truth), but this use was too wasteful.

After consulting Bing Ruolan herself, Xiuyan Qing said that she should wait a little longer. There was no rush. The War Scripture could transform the divine authority symbolized by the broken palm into a positive life artifact, which could be used to heal wounds or create life. If this option was chosen, An Jiyue could use its power to restore the ecological environment of the underground world with just a thought, and expand the number of cavemen.

Another very tempting option is to use the severed palm as a one-time sacrifice in a spell ritual to remotely close one of the two great rifts. To be honest, An Jiyue almost couldn't help herself when she saw this option. After the ancient saints' shoddy engineering spiraled up, permanent rifts were created at the two poles of the planet. It is precisely because of the existence of these two great rifts that Warhammer has become what it is today.

If one of them is shut down, the strength of the wind of magic in the entire world will be permanently reduced by half. At that time, even if the Great Vortex is unsealed, the world will not return to the Cataclysm era with demons running around. At the same time, even if the ruins of the ancient saints under Middenheim are dug out by the three-eyed man, the world will not be destroyed, because the prerequisite has disappeared.

However, after calming down, An Jiyue realized that this option was not as good as it seemed: using the broken palm as a sacrifice could remotely close the great rift at the pole of the planet, but this would not make the consequences that had already occurred disappear. Simply put, the hundreds of thousands of canned Martian soldiers hidden in the Arctic wasteland by the Four Gods, or the millions of demon beastmen in the Antarctic wasteland, plus other monsters, would not disappear just because the great rift was closed.

These things did not collectively rush south to attack the Order camp because there were many conflicts among the Four Gods, and the internal friction alone had consumed the lives of countless Chaos minions. But if the Great Rift was gone, the Four Gods would inevitably unite temporarily. Who could withstand the attack of Chaos believers who were in the millions and of high quality?

Before the Lords of the Holy Scriptures became powerful enough to counterattack the Polar Wasteland, closing the Great Rift was an option that seemed good but was actually extremely poisonous; but if the Lords of the Holy Scriptures could withstand this number and quality of Martian soldiers, and Laputa had probably been mass-produced, how much practical significance would it have in closing the rift remotely?

——An Jiyue's strategy for recovering the Arctic wasteland is to rely on the secondary anchor points to advance steadily and step by step, purifying and advancing at the same time, until the area of ​​the Arctic wasteland is compressed to a small enough size, and then send a flying fleet carrying the Lord of the Holy Scripture to rush in and close the rift. As for the Antarctic wasteland, the Antarctic continent and the main continent are not adjacent to each other on land anyway, so it can be blocked in the early stage, and the problem of Antarctica can be solved after the Arctic wasteland is dealt with.

In the final analysis, An Jiyue could not accept the idea of ​​using the Broken Palm as a one-time consumable. She would rather have it work for a long time, and making it into a life artifact was in line with her idea.

After discussing the details of the underground world's disposal plan for a while, the recasters left the room. After An Jiyue's persuasion, the old men finally stopped worrying about the girl's injury... Of course, they were very dissatisfied with An Jiyue's insistence on going to Tal O'Lur for recuperation. In the traditional dwarf concept, too much sun exposure and too much fresh air will harm people's health, so they hope that the girl can stay in Plateau Castle to recuperate!

The Jiedushi certainly could not accept this kind of dwarven nonsense. The girl did not refute the dwarf's healthy living theory, because she knew that with the dwarf's stubborn temper, such a thing could not be explained clearly, so she simply announced that she was going to Tal-O-Zur, without explaining her reasons for doing so, and did not accept the dwarf's repeated requests to stay.

Before leaving, An Jiyue also went to Sky Shield Castle and met the Sky Fleet that was about to set off. The second batch of two Eclipse-class frigates were sent to Sky Shield Castle through root teleportation, but the crew had not yet reached the level to be able to participate in the battle, so they were destined to miss the upcoming battle.

The Sky Fleet will attack again with a lineup of 11 frigates, including two Eclipse-class, five Kingfisher-class, and four Swift-class. Accompanying the operation are two Meko Vigilants belonging to the Wester Air Force, but these two ships will not appear in the front line of the battle: they lack self-defense capabilities and are too important.

The commander of this fleet is Yrel from the Crucible Court, a young Kaldorei noble. According to Morgan's introduction in the chat group, this person was originally a captain of the woodland who liked to ride a giant eagle. When the Crucible Court began to select personnel for the flying fleet in preparation, Yrel stood out in the selection and was first appointed as the captain of the first Eclipse-class ship, the Eclipse, and then soon appointed as the lord of the Kaldorei fleet.

Some actions against the Chaos Hive were originally led by the Kaldorei, so the Kaldorei naturally obtained the command of this mixed fleet, even though they only had two available warships, which was much less than the Cathay people who came to help. After destroying three Chaos Hive hatching facilities, Yrel won the respect of everyone with his excellent command.

It was under his command that the mixed fleet was able to avoid losing a single ship despite suffering considerable casualties when most of the ships were without shields.

After razing three incubation facilities, in view of the poor condition of the fleet that had been fighting continuously, the mixed fleet was recalled to Skyshield Castle for rest and recuperation, and to receive their new equipment: after a lot of effort, the new combat armor was finally in place.

This thing was designed by An Jiyue. Morgan made some detailed adjustments after getting the blueprint to adapt it to the actual level of the magic industry in Kaldorei. This new type of armor is divided into two layers, the inner layer is a flexible, fully sealed soft structure, waterproof and puncture-proof, constant temperature and humidity, and the outer layer is covered with a protective plate made of sky silver.

In order to control the weight, the new armor can be equipped with an oxygen tank on the back, but the default configuration does not have this. Instead, the helmet part of the armor has a breathing filter, which of course does not use activated carbon, but a micro-magic device that uses a whitelist mechanism, which only allows gases on the whitelist to pass through.

Naturally, constant temperature, constant humidity and filters are all achieved by supernatural powers, but the first two are a kind of mass enchantment process completed by machines, which can keep the wearer of the armor cool at all times, instead of being covered in sweat by the fully sealed soft lining; the latter is a composite spell machine that integrates multiple practical small spells.

The soft lining itself also integrates a set of micro-reservoirs on the back to power the breathing filter and other possible spell machines in the future. When the wearer wears the lining but not the armor, the back is obviously thicker than the other parts, almost an extra finger.

As for the armor plate, there is nothing special to say about it. Apart from the material being Skysilver, there is nothing special about it. The technical content of the entire set of armor is all concentrated on the lining and the filter. If I must say, when the entire set of armor is nearly completed, the last step is to assemble the lining and the armor plate, and then use a special enchanting machine to enchant it, so that the armor can automatically adapt to the wearer's body shape within a reasonable range.

The so-called "reasonable range" means that humans and elves who are not too fat can wear it, but dwarves cannot. The height and body shape of dwarves are all beyond the adaptive range of armor.

With the help of the roots of the Age Oak that reached the bottom of the Sky Shield Fortress, this batch of supplies was delivered to the mixed fleet. Not only the Kaldorei, but also the Zhendan and West people received a set of Kaldorei style armor. The war is tense now, and there is no time to develop and manufacture armor for human use. Anyway, the Kaldorei armor is not unusable, not to mention that this set of stuff was designed by An Jiyue, so it is not too awkward for humans to wear it...

After the new armor was distributed, the flying fleet set off after a period of rest during which all the warships were properly repaired and maintained, common spare parts and supplies were replenished, and the personnel took the time to rest.

There were no solemn ceremonies or speeches before the battle, as the warriors had to race against time to destroy the enemy that was still in the making, otherwise their lord's cause would be seriously threatened. This was an intolerable shame for both the Kaldorei and humans.

Watching the warships take off one after another and head towards the blue sky, An Jiyue, who was barely able to stand thanks to Jin Zhifan's support, bent down and saluted with her hands crossed towards the receding fleet.

"Let's go," the Jiedushi said to the deputy commander, "it's time for us to go to Tar-o-Yuer."

Answer to reader "1659590858":

Chaos Brood cannot use psychic energy. Broods are special. Once they fall, they will lose the ability to use psychic energy, including Namtaru, who will no longer be able to use psychic energy when she appears next time. Instead, she will switch to magic. As for the subsequent impact, I designed different styles of flying fleets for Khorne, Tzeentch and Nurgle. The flying fleet of the Nurgle faction is mainly composed of Chaos Brood, and its characteristic is "biological battleship".

Answer to the reader "Aurora's Little Soldier":

It depends on draining the pond to catch fish. Faceless people and nest tribes will not over-exploit the ecosystem of the underground world for long-term considerations, but the unscrupulous Chaos obviously does not have such concerns. As for the Chaos nest tribes that have fled to the surface, how can they lack biomass after fleeing to the Southland?

Chapter 470: The Beginning of Aviation

Empire, Marienburg.

As soon as the passenger boat docked at the side of the aviation tower, Gustav Winkler was the first to get off the boat. The former explorer, who seemed to still smell of yellow sand, stood proudly on the landing pad with his hands on his waist: "Welcome to Marienburg, everyone. You are now in the territory of the great Ewen de Richelieu."

Sir Roderick silently got off the ship, carrying a small leather backpack with some simple luggage on his back. He looked around, especially at the airships taking off and landing at other nearby aviation towers, and asked, "As a port, this place is not as busy as I thought... Is this the largest port?"

"Not everyone can afford a flying ship! Listen, Holy Grail Knight, if it weren't for me, you would have to ride a primitive carriage like a standard foreigner for a month, and you would have been too busy dealing with greenskins and beastmen raiders along the way," Roderick's indifferent reaction made Gustav very unhappy. "Safe, fast, efficient, does Bretonnia have such an advanced mode of transportation?"

"So," the Grail Knight repeated his question, "is this the largest port?"

"If you're asking about a port in the sense of the ocean, this is Marienburg. You won't find a bigger, more prosperous port in the entire Old World," Gustav rolled his eyes. "If you're asking about a port in the sense of the sky, the Iron Forge Valley in the suburbs is the largest air force base in Westerland. Here." The former explorer stomped on the rocky floor under his feet. "It's just a civilian airport. After all, Iron Forge Valley doesn't welcome outsiders."

Located northeast of Marienburg and not far from Duncanwald Forest, the Iron Valley is the largest and only base of the Wester Air Force. On the one hand, the Iron Valley is a military base, and no one is allowed to enter; on the other hand, as the largest port city and commercial center in the Old World, what it lacks the most is businessmen with keen insight and business acumen. After the end of the Second Anti-Intervention Campaign, some people set their sights on the blue ocean of air transportation.

Similar to the situation in Xuanshui, in addition to the core technology of the anti-gravity engine, Aiwen allowed Coast Heavy Industries to conditionally open the manufacturing technology of flying ships to the private sector. As a result, someone in Marienburg, which has a strong business atmosphere, soon took the lead. When private capital in Xuanshui was still slowly raising funds to set up a shipyard, the first airline run by locals in Marienburg had already been put into commercial operation.

This group of people hired a group of engineers from the Imperial Engineering College in Altdorf with a large sum of money, and modified the Meko-class transport boat to create a passenger boat that emphasized riding comfort. This thing caused a sensation as soon as it was released. Since the entire related industry had just started, this company was both an aircraft manufacturer and an air transport company. After its establishment, the first batch of products were not sold at all, but were directly given to the company's air transport department after they were built.

The company, called Griffin Air, currently has only one route, namely Marienburg-Altdorf-Nun-Averheim-Akendorf-Xuanshui. This route was jointly developed by the Aurora Air Force and the Westerland Air Force, and Griffin Air could take advantage of it. The air base could not be opened to the public, so Griffin Air made an extremely bold move: they sent people to lobby the courts of the various electors along the route and successfully obtained the power to establish a special airport.

Airports are basically the same as airports, except that they are used by flying ships, and most of the existing airports are located in cities. This approach actually has considerable hidden dangers, but who can blame the entire industry for just starting out? In particular, group members have no time to care about such business trivia, so they can only let it grow wildly.

Griffin Airlines' air transport business had only been in operation for two months, but it had already earned back all of its initial investment, including the money it spent on arranging affairs in the Elector's court. In the Empire, traveling by airship had become a new fashion, and it was not the kind of fashion that was hyped up and would immediately fail.

There is no way. Passenger boats, a new means of transportation, are not comparable to traditional transportation in terms of speed and safety. Except for a few provinces, most of the empire is covered by various forests. Any monsters you can think of and can't imagine can be found in the old forests of the empire. Land transportation is so dangerous that sometimes you can't reach your destination alive even if you are accompanied by a team of imperial knights.

Inland water transport is relatively safe, but only relatively speaking. Green-skinned pirates and strange aquatic monsters often threaten ships. The work of the First Fleet of the Imperial Navy (i.e., the Rick Fleet) on weekdays is to escort merchant ships, patrol rivers, and eliminate enemies who dare to plunder imperial ships.

Air transport is different. There are a lot of flying creatures in the Warhammer world, some of which are so fierce that even the regular army has to deal with them with caution. However, the air force of Westland and the aviation forces of other provinces, well, actually, Reikland, Middenland and Wiesenland, except for Westland, only these three provinces have flying fleets composed of various Meko-class variants. They will patrol the routes regularly to find and eliminate any hidden dangers.

As long as they don't encounter super-sized creatures like the Emperor Dragon, most flying beasts can't make trouble for the twin steam harpoons of the Meco class. Ever since the grasshopper class purchased from Xuanshui by the empire's various territories, of course, the imperials named it the Meco class, in short, after the flying gunboats arrived one after another, wild flying beasts in the south of the empire have become increasingly rare.

Griffin Air's air transport business has never had any problems since it was launched, except for a few harpy attacks. By Warhammer standards, the safety is incredibly high.

After being sent back to Xuanshui by the Aurora Air Force, Gustav and his companions did not continue to take advantage of the military's ride, but took the Griffin Airlines passenger boat back to Marienburg. After all, they could ask Mrs. Melinda to reimburse the ticket money, and the passenger boat was much more comfortable than the military transport boat, even though this thing was actually developed from the Grasshopper class.

"It's a very unique innovation, but it doesn't seem to be enough to be a source of superiority," Sir Roderick commented after listening to Gustav's words. "What if the enemy uses these flying ships to transport troops and directly deploys troops in the city, bypassing the city walls and fortifications?"

"'Not enough to be a source of superiority'?" Gustav automatically ignored the second half of the Holy Grail Knight's words: "Bretonnian, your arrogance is really intolerable to me, a loyal servant of the Elector. Does your country have such things? Do you know what steel, steam and power are? No, you have nothing, you know nothing. You only have the so-called 'peace and beauty' that you think you are. You call all the warriors who go into battle on foot 'serfs'. You look down on everything and unilaterally declare that only you understand what honor is."

Perhaps because he was finally back on home turf, Gustav's accumulated resentment and dissatisfaction with these knights since he met the Bretonnian expeditionary army burst out all at once: "Chivalry, ha! If you really have this thing, how could Lady Egwene become the Elector of the Empire?!"

"...Thank you for telling me what you really think of us," Ser Rodrick was silent for a moment, then said dryly, "I am sorry about what happened to Ser Egwene. She was treated unfairly, and it was an unfortunate tragedy."

"Listen, Bretonnian, I have to correct one mistake you made," Gustav said, his mouth curled. "There is no Ser Egwene anymore. There is only Count Egwene in the world now."

This time the Holy Grail Knight was completely silent.

"I'm going to see my boss. As for you, pray that Lady Egwene is willing to meet you," Gustav turned and walked towards the stairs of the aviation tower. Twenty Tyrell mercenary bodyguards quickly followed him. "Goodbye."

First of all, 40K Douya calls Slaanesh Elysium. Secondly, there is no setting for the Slaanesh faction to have flying fleets. Guess why.

Answer to reader "1659590858":

This thing is not a power armor, it is a set of non-powered armor. It is only because the Tianyin is light enough that it can be worn for a long time.

Chapter 471 "Recuperation"

Even after extensive reconstruction, Tal-O-Qur remains picturesque.

As the capital of the Zhemu King's Court, this city in the forest was originally located on the island in the center of the Star Stone Lake, and the lake water was its natural external barrier. After the Asrai were exterminated and An Jiyue found the seeds from the ashes of the first generation of the Era Oak, Morgan ordered the city to be moved from the island in the center of the lake and then planted the seeds on the small island.

The second generation of the Era Oak Tree—until now, this thing still has no exclusive name—grows very fast. An Jiyue lay peacefully on the recliner, the lush branches and leaves covering the sky above, blocking the hot summer sun. Only mottled light and shadows spread on the ground, telling the residents here that it was still daytime.

In this world of endless war, "rapid growth" is a very common trait. For example, the long-lived elves, the elves in Warhammer not only do not have the "difficulty in reproduction" common in all kinds of fantasy works, but also grow very fast. The age of physiological maturity of elves is similar to that of humans, while dwarves, who have a much shorter lifespan (usually only 200 years), reach adulthood at around 30 years old.

Not only do intelligent species grow fast, but many large animals and plants do the same. It took only about a year for the shade of the Oak of Ages II to completely cover the city of Tal-O-Tal and extend far outward. Tal-O-Tal did not become a city of shadows like Hagrid Graves (Note 1), but it did say goodbye to the overly warm sunshine, and the whole city always had a sense of shade visually.

Morgan's palace is located on the north shore of Starstone Lake. The palace itself has a small dock. An Jiyue has set up a lounge chair and a small table on the lakeside next to the dock. Juice, cheese and some special snacks of Kaldorei are placed on the table. Jinzhi Shigeru stands aside to keep watch. Morgan is not in Tal O'Lur at this time. When the sky fleet is busy dealing with the Chaos Nest, the greenskins in the south are also not at peace. A group of wild orcs, led by a greenskin warlord who claims to have received inspiration from Goge - or of course, it could be Maoge - is approaching the southern border of the Forest Territory.

Originally, the Evergreen King himself didn't need to be involved in this situation, but the Deepwood scouts reported that they had found traces of super-giant Squigs in the greenskin army. As the largest of the many subspecies of Squigs, this rare giant beast is a threat that cannot be ignored, especially since the Kaldorei have neither giant beast units (Note 2) nor artillery. Although they can fight with spears, bows and magic alone, they will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

Morgan was unwilling to let her men die in vain, so she had to go out in person to get rid of the greenskins before joining the sky fleet heading south. According to the battle plan, in the absence of An Jiyue, Morgan would take on the responsibility of leading the operation, and of course Irel would be in charge of the specific command work.

As for An Jiyue, although she said she came here for recuperation, the actual situation was that she was just like the one who said “I’m too busy and don’t have time to die”, and she always had endless work to do: taking advantage of the opportunity of recuperation, the girl must quickly perfect the organizational structure and all the rules and regulations of the Mechanicus, and then find the time to use dreams or memory implants to stuff them into Belisarius Cawl’s head, so that the Chief Gear Boy of the God of All Machines can quickly formalize the makeshift team.

In addition, as one of the only two great Jiba in the chat group, An Jiyue was temporarily given a job by Morgan. Before leaving for the front line, King Changqing gave a bunch of design drawings and experimental records to the Jiedushi, and then commissioned the latter to come up with a usable artillery unit as soon as possible based on these semi-finished products.

The invasion of the wild orcs reminded Morgan that she was too focused on magic armor and flying warships and neglected the construction of conventional artillery forces... Well, it can't be said that she ignored it. She only had so much energy, but the work she had to do was not much less than An Jiyue's, so she really couldn't take care of everything.

The number of flying warships is limited, and air-ground coordination is a complex problem even in the "homeland" of the Lords of the Holy Scriptures. It is unrealistic to rely on air support for heavy firepower. The Kaldorei Army must have its own artillery units. At the same time, considering that the Southland is almost entirely undeveloped primeval forests, this artillery unit must have strong terrain penetration, at least be able to keep up with the agile Kaldorei warriors and be able to move freely in the forest.

After taking stock of his own existing technologies and those of his group members, Morgan planned to develop a magic armor specialized for long-range shooting, and its main weapon would preferably be a light spear.

Regarding this request from Party A, An Jiyue, as Party B, wanted to ask what was wrong with the projectile cannon? Under the same output power, the projectile cannon firing harpoon shells can kill a dragon, but if it is replaced with a light spear, it may only polish the dragon's scales. The reason why the ship-borne light spears on the Eclipse class are quite powerful is that the celestial furnace used on the Eclipse class is a stacking version, and the output power is 2.5 times that of the Swift class celestial furnace. Most of the extra power is given to the four ship-borne light spears.

The primary mission of this planned artillery unit is to fight against behemoths. With the current technology, even if the Sabre Mk2 is equipped with an energy backpack, the power of the light spear that can be carried on the three-meter-high magic armor is quite limited. At most, it can blast enemies of the level of Ogres, and it may not even be able to kill the weakest behemoths such as Ankylosaurs.

The governor tried to persuade the King of Evergreen to change his main weapon to a projectile cannon. Looking at the entire Warhammer world, there are really not many behemoths that cannot be hit by the harpoon shells fired by the 75mm projectile cannon. As a result, the latter hesitated for a while and told the former that the elves, at least the Kaldorei, were unexpectedly resistant to psychic technology. This was actually demonstrated once when the four technical routes of the flying ship were determined before. Unless it is absolutely necessary, the Kaldorei refuse to use any psychic technology, and Morgan is unwilling to force her people to accept it.

An Jiyue accepted this explanation. The power of the Lord of the Holy Scripture is absolute, and the system units will obey if they really give orders. However, except for Dustan, who treats the system units as NPCs, the Lords of the Holy Scripture still care about the feelings of their people. Moreover, absolute loyalty does not mean absolute obedience, and the system units will also be passive and lazy under extreme circumstances.

Except for low-level undead things that have no self.

"But forget about making artillery-type magic armor. Look at the concept art you drew. What is this? A youth version of Guncannon? A giant humanoid has its own rationale in Warhammer, but letting a giant humanoid take on the function of artillery? Even in Warhammer, this is pure nonsense," An Jiyue said to Morgan who was about to leave for the front line. "Remember, the Titan God Machine is a superior tank, not a superior self-propelled artillery. I think it's better to design a vehicle honestly."

An Jiyue has always believed that Morgan's greatest strength is that he listens to advice. As long as what you say makes sense, this elf will really change after listening. The new plan for the artillery unit still uses the light spear as the main weapon, but its main body is no longer a magic armor with a humanoid structure because of the control method, but a vehicle, or more precisely, a suspended vehicle.

The anti-gravity engine is a high-tech device and cannot be miniaturized for the time being. But if you just want to make a cannon float and don't insist on achieving the level of "flying", both magic and psychic power have solutions.

On the surface, An Jiyue closed her eyes and swayed gently on the recliner half asleep and half awake, but in fact her brain was working at full speed. Countless parts changed their shapes and structures in her mind, and then they were quickly spliced, disassembled, and reassembled, and the above process was repeated continuously. A breeze blew across the calm lake, and a suspended self-propelled artillery gradually took shape in the Jiedushi's mind...

"General Ji." Jin Zhishi came to the recliner, bent down and whispered, "Someone is coming."

An Jiyue opened her eyes, her tone somewhat annoyed: "Let the other party come over."

The visitor was Nayes, the prime minister of the Zhemu court and Morgan's best friend in the "setting". The spellcaster led a group of followers to the dock of the palace. When they were still hundreds of meters away from someone's recliner, she raised her hand to signal the followers to stop, and then walked over alone: ​​"Good afternoon, sir. There is something I need your personal attention."

"Can't you handle it yourselves... eh? A psychic is here?"

"They claim to be special envoys sent by a human organization called Paradis, hoping to meet the Evergreen King," Nais said, "Currently, these outsiders are in Torch Harbor. Well, in fact, I have met their leader before, and I was imprisoned by the Nest Tribe together with this person, so I think this matter must be left to you to decide personally."

"...I just asked, and Morgan said she doesn't have time to take care of this matter right now, so she entrusted me to handle it," An Jiyue said, "You should have received the order by now."

"Yes, sir." The spellsinger bowed. "Do you want to meet him?"

"Tell him," An Jiyue pondered, "given his dishonesty during his last visit to Tal O'Sullivan, King Changqing refused to meet him and asked them to leave the Kaldorei territory within a week."

"But don't really expel them?" Naise asked at the right time.

An Jiyue nodded: "Let's test it out first and see what their intentions are."

……

Note 1: Hagrid Graves, also known as "Dark Cliffs", is one of the main cities in Druzy. It is rich in minerals and ruled by eight major families. The city itself is located in a valley and does not see sunlight all year round.

Note 2: The Kaldorei reject wooden men, and forest dragons are a specialty of Athel Loren.

Chapter 472: A Small Victory

With blazing white flames all over its body, the giant Squig fell heavily to the ground.

As the last Squig was killed, the greenskins' battle line showed obvious signs of wavering: the Savage Orcs, who did not use any metal tools or wear armor, and whose muscular bodies were decorated only with bone tools and had red, white and blue war patterns painted on them, were still fighting wildly, but their goblin servants obviously had other ideas.

Under the fluttering banners of the royal court, the Kaldorei warriors cheered: "For the Evergreen King!" The Woodland Guards marched in a loose formation with longbows in hand, and the Eternal Guards, who formed the main body of the battle line, marched in unison behind them. Leaf-shaped shields were connected to form a shield wall, and spears were like a forest, with cold light flashing on the blades.

The stag horn was blown, and the falcon cavalry swept over the heads of their comrades in a gust of wind. On the two wings of the infantry, the woodland cavalry and the wild cavalry drove their mounts on the battlefield with the same mind. When the infantry of both sides had not yet really started to fight, the duel between the cavalry had already decided the winner. When the wild orcs' war pig boys were still shouting, the goblin wolf cavalry had already keenly noticed the changes in the situation on the field.

These cunning little greenskins abandoned their larger cousins ​​without hesitation. The giant wolves under their crotches whimpered and tucked their tails between their legs, carrying their masters to perform a counterattack. Behind them, the War Pig Boys were cut into several pieces by the Kaldorei cavalry and defeated one by one. Spears and arrows efficiently slaughtered these stinking greenskins and their ill-tempered mounts. Just as the wolf cavalry were thankful for their decisiveness, they heard the cry of an eagle above their heads.

Several wolf cavalrymen who were not very experienced raised their heads subconsciously and saw the claws and sharp beak of the war falcon gradually enlarged in their field of vision...

At the front of the battlefield, the well-made Asrai longbows were the first to bring the opponent into range. The forest guards walking in the front pulled their main weapons into a half-moon shape, and then released their fingers after a brief aim. Bowstrings clashed, and arrows rained down. The arrowheads were leaping with supernatural energy, interweaving dense trajectories in the sky. After reaching the peak, they turned down and splashed onto the ground like a burst of raindrops in midsummer. The surging wild orcs fearlessly charged towards the arrows, while the crying goblins began to disintegrate first.

Archers were also at the forefront of the greenskin infantry. The Savage Orc Archer Boys and Goblin Archers fell one after another in the rain of arrows, and they immediately fought back: the former did so because they could not stand the frustration of being beaten unilaterally, and the latter hoped to use this method to give themselves courage. The crudely made arrows flew all over the sky after being separated from the bowstrings, and sparsely stuck into the ground diagonally. A moment later, the forest guards shot arrows while marching and stepped on them.
