She had to admit that she had never considered using traps before hearing Jenny's words.
Because it was the same as asking the Undead Creatures if they needed to eat; it was a question that didn't require an answer.
In fact, this was also normal. Using schemes and traps to deal with the enemy was mostly for the sake of obtaining greater benefits with lesser losses.
Or perhaps, they were weak, which was why they needed to use unconventional methods to defeat the strong.
However, these weren't effective against the Undead Creatures. In fact, most of the time, traps and strategies weren't particularly powerful. Instead, they made use of people's psychological traits.
For example, treating every bush and tree as an enemy or setting a mountain on fire.
Once they succeeded, it would be easy for the enemy to waver. This way, they would be able to occupy the vanguard position despite being weak. Next, it would depend on the commander's command to expand the battle results.
However, these were meaningless to the Undead Creatures. The Undead Creatures couldn't cry, laugh, or feel fear. Therefore, schemes and traps weren't effective against them.
It was just like Zhuge Liang's empty city stratagem. Even if he hollowed out the city, the Undead Creatures would swarm in and bury him to death.
In other words, when facing the Undead Creatures, be it schemes or traps, their biggest advantage — shaking the enemy's morale and weakening their morale — was basically impossible.
This was because the Undead Creatures would fight to the last man. In this case, any traps and traps were basically useless. In the end, they had to charge forward with their swords and spears.
This could be said to be laborious but not rewarding. Therefore, when people faced the Undead Creatures, once they thought about how the Undead Creatures weren't afraid and wouldn't waver, they would subconsciously exclude the possibility of using traps.
But in fact, even if they couldn't shake the Undead Creatures, it was still beneficial to use traps against them. After all, no matter what, the purpose of these traps was to obtain the greatest benefits with the smallest price.
From a certain angle, they were indeed considered weak against the Undead Army. But …
"Even so, this isn't an easy task …"
Thinking of this, Aili shook her head.
The most troublesome thing about the Undead Creatures was their strong resistance to attacks. Ordinary traps couldn't stop them at all and couldn't deal any damage to the enemy.
In order to eliminate the Undead Creatures, the best way was to use fire and holy spells.
However, the former wasn't easy to maintain, while the latter consumed a lot of energy.
"I think Miss Jenny must have found a solution."
While Aili was deep in thought, the Naga Priestess standing at the side looked at Jenny and asked.
Although she didn't spend much time with this elf, she already knew a thing or two about Jenny's temper. Jenny never spoke without thinking. Once she made a suggestion, she must have a specific method and means.
It was just like how she dealt with the Activated Forest previously. Others might not have a way to deal with it, but it didn't mean that she couldn't.
In fact, the Naga Priestess was sure that Jenny had a way.
Upon hearing the Naga Priestess' question, Aili and the others lifted their heads and looked at the Elf Ranger beside them.
And after noticing everyone's gazes, Jenny also nodded.
"That's right, I do have a way."
As she spoke, Jenny glanced at Viconia who was standing at the side. She didn't know why, but when she saw this scene, she suddenly felt a little uneasy.
She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't say anything.
And at this moment, Jenny had already spoken.
"Everyone is aware that the Undead Creatures aren't easy to deal with. In order to deal effective damage to them, we can only use holy powers and flames.
For now, flames are our best option. "
"But even if it's flames, it's impossible to burn continuously, right?"
Aili couldn't help but raise a doubt.
"Besides, we don't have enough wood to sustain such consumption. Not to mention, the Necromancers can also find ways to extinguish the flames …"
"That's right. That's why we need a stream of flames that will never be extinguished as our barrier."
"This …"
Hearing Jenny's answer, everyone present was taken aback, and then they looked at her with strange expressions.
For an instant, they suspected that this Elf Ranger was full of nonsense. What stream of flames that would never be extinguished? Perhaps this thing existed in the fire elemental plane, but in the main plane … How could there be such a thing?
"Even if it's to open the fire elemental plane, it still requires magical power and spellcasting support, Miss Jenny."
The Gnome Mage said hurriedly.
Back then, he entered the Activated Forest with Jenny and could be considered a companion who fought alongside her. He didn't want her to be doubted and reminded her immediately.
Upon hearing the Gnome Mage's words, Jenny nodded to him with a smile.
"Don't worry, I'm well aware of this. In fact, we don't need to spend so much effort to create a river of flames. We just need to guide them over."
"Guide?"
Everyone who was qualified to sit here had high IQs. As soon as Jenny finished her sentence, they immediately grasped the main point.
At this moment, Jenny nodded with a smile. Then, she raised her right hand and pointed to a mountain range on the map.
"That's right. I think … Perhaps everyone doesn't know that the Sacred Fire Peak is a volcano, right?"
"Wait, you mean …!"
At this point, if everyone still couldn't understand what Jenny was trying to say, they might as well die.
In fact, at this moment, Jenny had already said the answer that everyone was thinking about.
"That's right. We can lure the Undead Army to gather and attack us head-on.
When they arrive at the target location, we will blast a hole in the Sacred Fire Peak and release the magma inside to devour them!
We will occupy the high ground while they are in the low-lying area. This way, not only will we be able to eliminate most of the Undead Army easily, but we also won't cause too many casualties … "
Jenny gazed at Aili as she spoke.
"I think this is a good idea."
"This …"
Aili and the others pondered deeply upon hearing Jenny's suggestion.
Indeed, this was an idea that they had never thought of before. But after hearing Jenny's suggestion, they realized that it was a great idea. Magma was inexhaustible and its might was enough to destroy most of the Undead Army.
If they could follow Jenny's suggestion, this plan would be highly feasible.
But …
"I object!"
The Elf Princess' voice broke the silence in the tent.
She stood in front of the map with a stern expression, glaring at Jenny in displeasure.
"This might be able to stop the Undead Army from advancing, but our homeland will also be destroyed in the flames!
Don't you know how much damage will be done to the forest once the flames in the Sacred Fire Peak are released? "
"Of course I'm aware. But in my opinion, there isn't much difference between a forest that withers due to death and a forest that is destroyed by flames."
Faced with the Elf Princess's angry question, Jenne appeared to be very calm.
Looking at this scene, the Naga Priestess held her forehead helplessly.
She had witnessed Jenny's argument during the Elf Queen's Imperial Conference and it seemed like the same scene was about to repeat itself.
He had to admit that Jenny's suggestions were very effective, but the problem was that the methods she proposed were almost unacceptable to the elves.
Regardless of whether it was burning a barricade or directly setting fire to the forest, the elves would never have accepted such a proposal under normal circumstances.
But the problem was that the current situation was unique. If they couldn't stop and annihilate the Undead Army, it would only be a matter of time before the Undead Army broke through the Elf Forest. When that happened, the entire continent would be in trouble.
Compared to that, sacrificing a forest was nothing.
But it was a pity that the Elf Princess apparently didn't think so.
"I strongly object to this method and the other Elves won't agree to it either!"
"But Miss Wyconia, I think this is indeed a good solution."
Upon hearing Wyconia's words, Ailee couldn't help but express her opinion.
"Based on the current situation, our forces are barely enough to resist the Undead Army's attack. But if we continue to be in a stalemate, the situation will be disadvantageous for us.
I admit that this method will cause a certain amount of damage to the Elf Forest. But if we handle it well, at least most of the forest can be preserved, right?
If we fail, the entire forest will be destroyed by the Undead Army … "
"…"
Upon hearing Ailee's words, Wyconia fell into silence. She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists in reluctance.
But she couldn't be blamed. She was the Elf Princess and the pride of the Elves.
Unlike her younger sister, Wyconia shouldered the hopes of the Elves.
She was supposed to lead the Elves through this crisis. But now … Do we have to use this method?
"Is there no other way?"
After a few moments, Wickonia unwillingly asked. Jenny shrugged her shoulders in response to her question.
"Perhaps there are other ways, but personally speaking, this is the best countermeasure I can think of at the moment."
The Grand Priest Naga's heart tightened. She turned to Ailee hurriedly and signaled to the Saintess with her eyes.
Hearing this sentence, the Naga Siren knew that things were not going well because Jenny's words were almost the same as what she had said in the Elven Court. She was sure that if no one came to appease both sides at this time, it would be very troublesome.
"Well then, at least we can move a portion of the trees …"
"I don't suggest that. The Undead Creatures are brainless, but that doesn't mean that they are fools.
If we move the trees openly, wouldn't it be the same as telling them that we've set up an ambush?
This way, all our efforts will be in vain. "
"So what you're saying is that we can only watch as the trees in this forest that have withstood hundreds of years of wind and rain perish?"
Facing the Elf Princess's furious retort, Jenny pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"That is indeed the case for now."
"I object!"
Upon hearing Jenny's answer, the Elf Princess erupted.
