"Continue, continue. Don't stop!"
The elf princess brandished the slender sword in her hand. The beautiful crystal blade flashed a series of afterimages under the sun's illumination as though it was dancing gracefully.
But it was a pity that the enemies before her apparently didn't have any sense of aesthetics. Moreover, Vikonia's series of sword dances were completely flirtatious to the blind.
But even so, she displayed her strength as the first princess of the Elf Kingdom. Her crystal blade streaked across the air in a series of graceful trajectories and penetrated the Skeleton Guards. Then, Vikonia let out a snarl and at the next moment, a series of enormous crystal pillars rose from the ground and extended forward, penetrating all the undead creatures along the way. At the same time, the crystal pillars were like a sharp blade that pierced into the undead creatures' formation and interrupted their charge.
Then, Viconia gripped the crystal blade in her hand and swung it to the side. At the next moment, along with this movement, the string of crystal spikes scattered in the direction where Viconia swung her sword. One by one, the crystal spikes exploded and the scattered fragments swept across, shredding all the undead creatures within the explosion's range into pieces.
But this wasn't the end of it. Shortly after, new undead creatures followed up and filled up the empty space.
"Phew …"
The elf princess heaved a sigh of relief. She extended her hand to wipe the beads of sweat on her forehead and took two steps back.
Shortly after, the other elf warriors followed up and seized this opportunity to launch attacks on the loose undead creatures.
Elves weren't a race that was suitable for head-on battles. If the undead creatures attacked them in a well-organized formation, the elves wouldn't be able to hold on at all.
Therefore, the only way to deal effective damage was to break their formation and kill the leader of the undead creatures to confuse them … This went to show how miserable it was for the elves to face the undead creatures.
We've suffered so much, so why isn't the Forest Goddess willing to show up?
The elf princess couldn't help but lift her head and gaze at the sky that was dyed red by the setting sun.
She couldn't understand why the Forest Goddess didn't give any answers even though the people of the forest had suffered so much.
She had been praying with all her heart, hoping that the Forest Goddess would be willing to descend and help her people. However, until now, the Forest Goddess had not responded at all.
This made Viconia a little uneasy. This was also one of the reasons why she insisted on fighting with all her might. In Viconia's opinion, as long as they showed the Forest Goddess their determination to protect the forest, the Forest Goddess would definitely appear.
But if Jenny knew what Vikonia was thinking, she would definitely tell him that the Forest Goddess would never descend personally and the reason was because of Klein.
And this was something that Wyconia could never have imagined.
As the son of the Demon King, Klein was currently the strongest Demigod.
Since he had yet to become a God, Klein was able to unleash his full power on the Main Plane.
But as a True God, it was impossible for Mellika to descend to the mortal plane with her true body. At most, she would be like Lorci and send a clone down to help.
Back in the Underdark, Lorci's incarnation, who was renowned for its combat prowess, had been sent back to her home by Jenn and Pattilina.
Therefore, it was obvious what kind of treatment Mellika's incarnation would receive.
Moreover, Klein was in an alliance with the Princess of the Netherworld. The Nature Gods and Death Gods had always been the two most incompatible factions. Now that Klein was here, even though the Princess of the Netherworld didn't appear, she was definitely waiting somewhere.
If the Forest Goddess Melikai were to descend at this time, the most likely outcome wouldn't be the Undead Creatures being annihilated. Instead, Klein and the Netherworld Princess would join hands to leave behind Melikai's incarnation, and then they could do whatever they wanted.
When that happened, it would be fine if she only lost an incarnation. But if the Forest Goddess seized the opportunity to invade and devour the Divine Territory, Mellika would have nowhere to cry.
This was a bloody lesson from the Second World War. Jenny believed that as one of the survivors, Mellika wouldn't be foolish enough to descend unprepared.
Moreover, the Elves weren't dead yet, right?
But that's about it.
Swish!
At the same time, a silver light beam streaked across the sky, turning into a rainstorm of light spots that bombarded the Undead Army.
Shortly after, a large portion of the Skeleton Soldiers were struck by the light arrows and shattered in the explosions.
Viconia puckered her brows slightly. She turned around and gazed at the direction where the arrow was shot from. Indeed, she spotted Jenny's silhouette on top of a boulder not far away.
"It's really her …"
While muttering to himself, Viconia turned his head around.
In fact, Wickonia had complicated feelings about Jenny. On one hand, she acknowledged her outstanding strength and judgment. Besides, if Jenny were willing to help, it would indeed reduce the pressure on the Elves.
But on the other hand, Wickonia felt that she couldn't get along well with Jenny at all. Even though one of the reasons was due to her dissatisfaction with the burning of the forest proposal, Wickonia felt that there was a deeper reason. For some unknown reason, when she saw Jenny, she felt as though she was interacting with the Dark Elves, which made her uncomfortable.
Although she comforted herself that it might be due to the fact that Jenny had been living in the Dark Region for a long time, Wickonia felt that she couldn't get along well with Jenny.
However, Wykonia just couldn't get along with Jenny. Therefore, when he saw Jenny at this crucial moment, his expression turned somewhat complicated.
After all, she had indeed helped him, but the unexplainable sense of wariness and discomfort in the depths of his heart prevented him from thanking Jenny. So in the end, he only nodded at Jenny and did not say anything.
Sigh. What a tsundere.
Jenny curled her lips at Wickonia's expression.
In fact, if it was possible, she wanted to seize this opportunity to take down this Elf Princess. This way, she wouldn't be able to gather the Nine Saint's Children and wouldn't be as much of a threat to her.
But Jenny didn't do so in the end. After all, the possibility of Klein facing off against the Nine Saint's Children was much higher. So … It was better to sit on the mountain and reap the spoils later.
At least after dealing with Klein, she would talk about the others.
However, Zayen knew very well that this was the deep-rooted bad habit of the devils. If the Sons of the Devil King could unite as one, then the gods and warriors were nothing more than worthless chickens and dogs.
But it was a pity that everyone was basically two-faced. Not to mention trust, even if they were allies, they would still be afraid of being stabbed in the back. What happened to trust?
Oh, such a thing doesn't exist in the first place.
While strange thoughts swirled in her mind, Jenny didn't stop attacking. Under her 'covering fire', the Undead Army seemed to have strengthened their attacks on the Elves' defensive line.
In fact, Wickonia's group didn't realize that as night fell, the other areas were gradually retreating under Ellie's command as though they couldn't resist the Undead Army's attack.
This didn't arouse the Undead Army's suspicions. After all, this had been the case for every battle.
Perhaps in the beginning, the Humans might be on par with the Undead Army.
But as time passed, the Humans' weaknesses began to show and this was the time for the Undead Army to launch their attack.
Night fell.
At some point, the last ray of sunlight had already disappeared into the depths of the horizon.
Instead, dazzling spheres of holy radiance replaced the sun and illuminated the battlefield.
At this moment, everyone was getting more and more nervous. After several battles, almost everyone understood the Undead Creatures' fighting style. They would attack when the sun was about to set in order to exhaust their strength.
Then, when night fell and everyone was exhausted from the continuous battles, the Undead Army would mobilize their elite troops to attack.
And now, night had fallen, which meant that the Undead Army was about to launch a new round of attacks.
"It's about time …"
Gazing at the dark night, Ellie clenched her fists and her forehead was covered in beads of sweat due to the tension.
But she didn't have the time to wipe them off as she gazed ahead.
She was waiting for the most suitable opportunity to arrive.
Pattilina narrowed her eyes and gazed at the dazzling defensive line in the distance. The Elves' perseverance had far exceeded their expectations. Until now, they were still persevering.
"How much longer?
Miss Pattilina? "
"About 30 minutes."
After a little calculation, Patrina opened her mouth and answered. But soon, she raised her spear and pulled the bolt in her hand.
"But first, let's settle the trouble before us!"
"— — —!"
As Pattilina spoke, a shadow emerged from the night sky and pounced on Ellie!
