7-War Begins (1/2)

The next day, Si Qingyan led all the elves out to dig ice shoots.

Felmes was puzzled. The snow mushrooms dug yesterday were enough to eat, why did they go out to dig ice shoots again?

"Do you know how Alan died?" Si Qingyan smiled.

Alan was the elf with the inverted pentagram mark on his feet.

Felmes shook his head. She was asking about digging ice shoots, what does it have to do with Alan?

"He knows too much." Si Qingyan's expression was gloomy, and the light flickered on his face. At this moment, he was worse than the demons.

The elves still prepared their gear obediently, followed Si Qingyan's orders, and went to the snowfield to find ice shoots. The Elf King was in a bad mood after dealing with the spy. He had already dug snow mushrooms, so what was the point of digging some ice shoots?

Felmes followed Si Qingyan without saying a word.

She couldn't understand the Elf King more and more.

He seemed shallow and moody, but in fact he didn't suffer any loss. He succeeded in everything he wanted to do.

The road to digging ice shoots was very smooth. When they were digging snow mushrooms yesterday, they found a lot of ice shoots and marked them under Si Qingyan's instructions. This made Philmes wonder if he had this idea a long time ago.

Ice shoots taste crisp and slightly sweet, and contain rich ice elements. Ice elves can increase their mana by eating more. Long-term consumption can enhance the affinity of ice elements.

When digging snow mushrooms yesterday, many elves made small shovels and baskets with ice, and they used them again today. Compared with fighting, elves prefer to do these. They will tacitly offer the best ice shoots to the Elf King, and the rest as their own rations.

A group of elves on the vast land are busy and run wherever there are ice shoots. Philmes is among them. Although she wants to ask what the meaning of doing this is, the Elf King is not a person who will listen to advice.

——

A blazing bonfire is lit at the demon station.

They were born in Purgatory, where there is magma everywhere, the temperature is very high, and the cold places are extremely cold. In comparison, 90% of the demons are used to living in high temperature environments. Some of the remaining demons do not care about the outside temperature, and some are ice-type. It is not good for them to start a war near the Winter Fortress. When the space channel was still there, there was a steady stream of troops to replenish. Now without the support of the rear, they really have no advantage at all.

Space channels are not easy to construct. Unless there are seven monarchs of hell, it is possible to open up a stable channel in an instant. However, the monarchs have their own things to do, and they don’t care about this small plane at all, let alone pay for the incompetence of their subordinates. Under normal circumstances, it will take at least two to three years for the space channel to be successfully reopened. By then, the grass on their graves will be several feet high.

"The elves are here again."

"Are they here to attack?" The male demon wore the vine ring and looked into the distance.

The news they received was getting less and less, and two puppets left in the human race were also broken. As for the orcs… those brainless beasts, their intelligence system is like a sieve, and they don’t need to use possession magic at all. Unfortunately, the Elf King and Roderick are usually the ones who make decisions. The Purple Emperor is just a war machine, and even if he develops an insider in the orcs, it won’t help much.

“They are digging ice shoots.”

“Let them dig, keep an eye on them.”

“But they are almost digging to our base, should we take the initiative…”

“What if it’s a trap?” The male demon frowned and said seriously:

“Strengthen your vigilance and be ready to fight at any time.”

The demons rubbed their hands and waited.

One hour passed, two hours passed, three hours passed…

Nothing happened.

“Should we wait?”

“Wait, don’t lower your vigilance.” The male demon was already a little bored waiting, but as the leader, he had to lead by example.

“Gurgle…”

Some demons with huge bodies and high consumption started to growl.

Even if they won’t die because of the life gem, they will feel hungry.

After the battle is over, you can usually snatch the enemy’s body back and eat it. Now the demons are mainly defensive, and they cannot plant crops, so they are facing the problem of food shortage.

However, most demons are not vegetarians.

Even if they starve to death and are resurrected with life gems, they will not eat grass.

When they enter the sleeping state, they can reduce consumption, but now they have to guard against the elves' sneak attacks.

"Where are the elves?"

"We dug a lot of ice shoots."

"I asked where they are now and what they are doing."

"Digging ice shoots outside our camp."

"Too much."

"Are they doing it on purpose?"

"Hold on, they must want to actively lead us to attack, then catch us off guard, and finally join forces with the beast army to kill us all."

"As long as we don't leave the camp, we will be safe."

"Hold on a little longer, and when the space channel is reopened, we can do whatever we want."

"Damn the elves."

Just as the demons were cursing the elves, Si Qingyan led the elves who returned with a full load back home.

Felmes dug ice shoots all day today and felt like an emotionless excavator.

"King, are we going to dig tomorrow?" asked Felmes.

"Do you want to go?" Si Qingyan turned sideways, her beautiful golden eyes staring at Felmes, as if some beast had locked onto its prey. In normal form, Si Qingyan's eyes are golden, and they turn golden red when fighting.

Felmes thought about it and said honestly:

"No."

"Then you won't go tomorrow."

Felmes was stunned.

? ? ?

When she wanted to take back her words and explain clearly, Si Qingyan had already returned to her room to rest, sealed the door, and refused to see anyone.

The next day, Felmes got up early and planned to follow the main force to dig something, but found that the elves were all sleeping in.

"The king said to rest today and not go to the snowfield."

Felmes looked complicated, she really couldn't understand the Elf King's thoughts more and more.

Nothing is more troublesome than a person who doesn't play by the rules. Especially this person has a strong fighting power. Although no one saw him take action seriously, he must be strong to subdue the High Priest Thor.

————

In the demon station, the two demons looked at each other.

"I suspect that Felmes has been exposed." The male demon said.

"I don't think so. Maybe the Elf King likes Firmus. Although she has a scar on her face, she has a good figure, is good at fighting, and is very loyal to the Elf King. The Elf King is so young, maybe he likes her?" The female demon is petite and looks only twelve or thirteen years old. She looks mature and a little bit out of place.

A stream of light flashed across the surface of the ring on the male demon's finger. He thought for two seconds and said:

"That makes some sense. Maybe he is much more difficult than we thought."

"The Elf Queen lived for so long, but she died. This Elf King is just a child who is still wet behind the ears. Look at what he did. Is it reasonable? I think you are scaring yourself, brother, and making simple things complicated." The female demon has a lot of opinions about the current Elf King. Digging this and that every day, it's annoying.

"The Elf King should not be able to come up with such a complicated strategy. I think Roderick is behind the scenes."

Speaking of Roderick, the male demon gritted his teeth.

If it weren't for this damn human, maybe they would have reached a warmer place now.

"If only there was a way to destroy those elemental cannons." The female demon showed a look of resentment, and said fiercely:

"If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be like this now."

"If there's a chance, I'll make him suffer and die."

"I will." The male demon touched his sister's hair.

Originally, she was an adult female demon with a charming face and a hot body. She was bombarded by the elemental cannons of weapons researched by humans, and became the immature appearance she is now. This kind of degradation in life form cannot be solved even by the life gem.

The female demon wanted to bite Roderick to death.

"By the way, if they don't come today, should we still be on guard?" the female demon asked.

"Of course. Maybe they have discovered what Firmus did and deliberately dug a pit for us."

"Damn it!"

The female demon was so angry that her tail stood up.

Another day of alert.

However, there was no ghost on the snowfield. The pits dug by the elves also calmed down again because of the heavy snow.

For several days in a row, the elves occasionally went out, occasionally rested, and dug various snow specialties.

Almost every elf must have a basket and a small shovel. They are skilled in their movements. They lock on the target, shovel lightly, and then catch it with the basket.

There are too many specialties dug recently. Some of them cannot be eaten. Some are left to give away. Si Qingyan asked Roderick to send the rest to the Silver Moon Forest.

Roderick has developed a courier industry through the teleportation array and is very skilled. He admired Si Qingyan's behavior of taking care of the business and specially gave Si Qingyan a 50% discount card for courier.

On this side, they eat and drink well and are happy like gods. On the other side, the demons are being stalked by the elves, and they are sleepy, hungry and cold. They are almost crazy.

On a snowy day, there is nothing to eat, and they have to guard against the damn elves to attack. It is too tormenting for the demons.

In the past, the elves would keep a distance from the camp. Recently, they found that the demons would not come out on their own initiative. They are getting more and more rampant. They will roll snowballs and throw them in, and then run away after throwing them. They are extremely childish. I heard that the Elf King took the lead, which is really annoying.

This Elf King is simply a devil.

But the elves like to follow him more and more, as if they have a strange tacit understanding? Obeying orders will become a habit, no matter what the order is.

"Brother, some demons have started to eat ice and snow." The female demon frowned and showed disgust.

"Let them go."

"It's okay to just eat, but they have diarrhea and the smell is very strong."

"..."

When you don't pay attention, you can bear it. After all, there are very few demons who love cleanliness. For some demons who don't even have skin, it is really difficult to maintain hygiene.

There are all kinds of smells at ordinary times, such as the armpit odor of giant demons, the bad breath of ogres, the disgusting foot odor, the fishy odor of skinning demons, the damp and rancid odor of swamp monsters... Now there is a smell of feces, mixed together, it can be called a biological weapon.

And the house cannot be ventilated frequently because the demons are afraid of cold. The swamp monster has turned into an ice mud monster due to the low temperature, pitiful. The male demon just opened the doors and windows for a while, and heard all kinds of begging cries.

To stink or to freeze to death...

The demons chose to stink.

The elves have not come for three days. The weather is getting colder and colder. Some orcs have already entered hibernation.

The Saint Cerro continent has entered the end of winter. The coldest time of the year for the Winter Fortress has arrived.

In the past, the Winter Fortress would choose to defend during this period, but recently it seems that it does not intend to attack. This weather is also difficult for the orcs to bear. Maybe they will rest for a while.

The elves do not seem to plan to go out.

Si Qingyan said every day that he would go out for sneak attacks, but the demons wanted to sleep but did not dare. After being trapped for half a month, they chose to respond passively.

During this period of time, Firmus often ran into trouble with Si Qingyan, but she had no way to improve the relationship between them. Firmus often suffers from headaches. How can he coax the Elf King to gain his trust?

She has tried various methods, but to no avail.

His character is really bad.

Other elves said that the Elf King is still young and ignorant, so you should be considerate and obey his orders. Although the Elf King is a bit naughty, if you do as he says, he will not deliberately make things difficult.

Firmus was in trouble and couldn't tell. She felt like she was being deliberately made difficult. The other elves always look like "The king is so nice and cute, why can't we understand what you are saying?"

She gradually stopped hinting at Si Qingyan's character problems in the station.

Just do what Si Qingyan said strictly.

This time, other elves began to accept her again. They all said, wouldn’t it be great if you had listened to the Elf King like this? We understand that you are loyal to Queen Martina, but now that we have a new king, we should learn to accept the new king.

It was another snowy day, and Si Qingyan summoned Firmus to discuss important matters.

As soon as Firmus entered, he was knocked unconscious to the ground.

The shrunken Zihuang held up two big hammers. With a slight strike, Fermes fainted.

Blood light floated in Si Qingyan's hand, and she pressed it on the green crystal bead on her wrist.

A naked elf appeared on the ground, with a confused look on his face, as if he didn't know what was happening.

"King, I...am not dead yet?" Allen said in shock.

"There is a task for you. If you can complete it, you will be exempted from the death penalty."

"I can do it." Allen gritted his teeth.

Si Qingyan threw him a cloak, and Allen immediately put it on.

Si Qingyan spared his life before and temporarily turned Allen into a lifeless creature. In this way, in the eyes of the devil, Allen was already dead.

"I will temporarily exchange the marks on you and Firmus, and you will be responsible for dealing with the devil's inquiries and inductions. If he asks you what you are doing, just say cultivation, or something else. In general, it is to make the devil believe it. Can we all stay in the station?"

While Si Qingyan was speaking, he temporarily sealed the reverse pentagram.

"Can this be deceived?" Allen was worried.

"Okay." Si Qingyan pressed on Allen's forehead again, and Allen turned into Firmus. The marks of the two were also successfully exchanged. There was indeed a mark on Firmus's face. In order to accurately locate the mark on Firmus' face, Si Qingyan repaired the scar on Firmeus' face. The scar on her face was supposed to be very narrow, but it was burned by the demonic fire and became what it is now. Among the demon brother and sister, the female demon is of the fire element. Her combat power was definitely higher than that of Fermes, and the demonic fire was somewhat difficult to expel, so Si Qingyan directly used the immortal demonic flame to imprison it.

That face without scars is stunningly beautiful. Even with her eyes closed, there is still a kind of cold, flawless, pure and exquisite beauty. The overall appearance of the elves is exquisite, and this face can be ranked at the forefront among the elves.

"I heard that Fermes was the most beautiful female elf under Queen Martina before she was disfigured. She is indeed well-deserved." Roderick was filled with admiration. Seeing Si Qingyan's strange eyes, he changed the subject:

"I just appreciate all beautiful things... Ahem, the secret technique of the elves is really magical. I have never seen Martina use it before. Are there any restrictions on its use?" Roderick asked curiously.

"You need the power of Yuehua." But most elves cannot use the power of Yuehua.

"So that's it. Lanza is smart and wise, and our coalition will rely on you from now on."

"Just kidding."

Si Qingyan smiled, turned the Fermes on the ground into a string of transparent crystal beads, and put it on his wrist.

If you leave Firmus here, Allen won't be able to handle it if she wakes up midway.

"Walk!"

Si Qingyan, Roderick, and Zihuang looked at each other, summoned an army, and planned to make a surprise attack on the demon camp.

After digging in the snowfield for so many days, Si Qingyan had already built a teleportation array in an underground ice cave not far from the Demon Clan's camp, just waiting for the Demon Clan to slack off. The monsters have been in very poor condition recently, their combat power has dropped by at least 20%, which is a great time for a surprise attack.

In order to prevent the demons from sensing the teleportation fluctuations, the teleportation array is still some distance away from the demons' station, and a barrier is set up around it to block the aura.

Still according to Roderick's plan, the elves made a surprise attack first, followed by a fierce wave. The human mages used elemental cannons for a while, and the orcs followed.

In order to prevent Rodrick from betraying the elves, Rodrick waited outside the teleportation array and stayed with several elves.

As long as the two of them had brains, they would not plot against the elves at such a critical moment. Even so, Si Qingyan still invited Roderick over.

"I'm a little defensive, please forgive me." Si Qingyan said.

"I understand, I would do the same thing if it were me." Roderick laughed and didn't care.

We all have different races, and it is rare to get together peacefully to face the enemy. At this time, it is appropriate to take some risks.

"All elves, come with me to fight."

Si Qingyan took the lead alone, and the elves followed Si Qingyan according to their usual formation, like stars holding the moon, with the intention of returning to protect them.

Roderick saw this and felt sad in his heart.

It took him so many years to cultivate his loyal followers. Elves are different. Of course, orcs are similar to elves. They are strong, have high bloodlines, and their status is almost established at birth. They don't need to work as hard as humans.

When he went out to meet the enemy, Si Qingyan had already stacked a lot of invisibility and silence, and the other elves were the same.

Human mages plus elemental weapons are enough to serve as mages in the team.

Elves are fast, have concentrated attack power, have a high degree of elementalization of their bodies, are good at hiding their bodies, and are very suitable for assassins.

Si Qingyan plans to lead the elves to sneak into the demon settlement silently and come up with another big wave.

There is a group of invisible elves moving quickly on the snow, leaving no traces of snow on the ground.

Soon they arrived in front of the demon settlement.

"Transform into elemental form."

Si Qingyan ordered.

Once the war starts, invisibility can no longer be concealed.

Anyway, their goal has been achieved. With such a short time, the demons have no time to prepare. When the elves transform into elemental form, they can attack directly.

Various lights flashed, and the elves, whose body structures were not much different from humans, turned into elemental forms.

The ears became more pointed, the facial features became more delicate, the hair color and eye color turned into the corresponding elemental colors, and a pair of small transparent wings grew behind them. Elves below the level of Mage Saint also had wings. Although they could not fly, they could greatly increase their speed.

Above the Mage Saint, such as Si Qingyan, the light wings behind him were very large, almost covering the whole body. With a light flap, he flew up.

At the same time, the elf crown on his head opened the second form.

The thick platinum-colored long hair was tied up high, and the crown became a helmet style, leaving a place for the hair. The light and gorgeous armor covered the whole body, and Si Qingyan also had a blood-red bow in his hand.

Above his eyebrows, hung the dark green gem that was closely related to the life and death of other elves.

The moonlight in his body flowed, nourishing the gem continuously, which should be able to support for a long time.

Today, we will try to eliminate all the demons at once, and there will be no such good opportunity in the future.

The demons have always been in the position of attackers. Now that their positions have changed, they have no experience of being attacked. It is the best time.

"Begin the war!"

Si Qingyan's thoughts were in a trance, but in fact only a moment had passed.

As soon as she appeared outside the demon's residence, an elf lurked near the sentry post in the state of invisibility, and attacked and killed the soldiers on guard in one fell swoop, buying time for Si Qingyan.

Si Qingyan stood in the sky, with wings flapping lightly behind her, and her slender fingers pressed on the bowstring. Three blood-colored crystal arrows appeared out of thin air and locked onto three towers not far away.

Each tower represents a race, and there is a life gem hidden inside.

Power accumulated to the extreme, pouring into the arrows.

The light color of the arrows turned dark red, and finally a blood-colored flame floated on the surface.

Si Qingyan attached the immortal demon flame and let go.

Three sharp arrows broke through the air and rushed to three different towers respectively, with a thousand-pound momentum, in an instant.

The moment of contact, a violent explosion sounded.

The three towers were blown away, leaving only the bare tower bodies.

The life gems of different colors were wrapped in blood-red flames and were quickly devoured.

Screams rang out in the camp.

The life gems were broken, and the corresponding tribes would be seriously injured if they didn't die.

There was no cheering, and all the elves were focused on the battle, but when the towers were broken, they all subconsciously raised their heads, and saw the broken blood light like sparks blooming in the gray sky.

Their king had a cold expression, and he drew his bow again, aiming at the remaining towers, with his platinum-colored hair flying wantonly, as handsome as a god.

Countless demons rushed out, and the elves recited the hair-shunting spell. Among them, there were also some elves who practiced fighting spirit. In the elemental state, they were extremely powerful and directly hit the demon dog head with a staff. The Paladin elves with high cultivation, with one stick, the brains of the demons came out.

Si Qingyan looked at the exasperated male demon, and her lips slightly turned down, revealing an indifferent arc.

"I underestimated you." The male demon's eyes were cold.

Today, he communicated with Philmes as usual. "Philmes" said that everything was normal and he had no doubts.

I didn't expect this group of damn elves to come to attack.

"You will all die today." The male demon has changed into a fighting form. The originally perfectly shaped mouth has become a ferocious big mouth with sharp fangs and a long tongue. The tail has grown rapidly, several meters long, with dense spikes, emitting a black iron light.

"One arrow piercing the clouds, thousands of troops come to meet."

Si Qingyan let go and shot three more arrows.

One arrow hit half of the tower, and the fist-sized life gem was wrapped by the undead demon flame and burned to ashes in a few seconds. Many demons fell to the ground on the battlefield, and the elves took the opportunity to harvest heads. The dagger cut across the throat or stabbed into the heart, easily killing a demon.

One arrow was swept away by the male demon's tail, just killing a giant demon.

The male demon caught an arrow, and just as he was about to show a smug and ferocious smile, his entire arm suddenly caught fire.

"Ah, what kind of fire is this..." He roared and cut off his arm directly.

As the new arm squirmed and grew, Si Qingyan shouted,

"Retreat!"

The elves left the demons behind and ran out at lightning speed.

In the distance, thousands of troops were rushing out, and a huge elemental cannon was placed on the turret, with the muzzle facing the demon station.
