From troll tribes to elf empires

Chapter 159 Triumph and the voyeur in the shadows

The mission’s visiting point was set up in a ‘station’. Although it was a station, it was just a treeless open space that was too wide;

This inexplicable treeless belt that extends for unknown distance suddenly appears on the right bank of the Black River.

Unlike the trolls of our own tribe who are builders and therefore have become accustomed to it, the witch doctors and chiefs who came from allied tribes are somewhat at a loss as to what to do.

Previously, although the Yabu had lent a lot of labor from their respective tribes in the name of 'track construction';

But in fact, until this time, they still didn’t know what the Tooth Department had done or built in the West.

Therefore, after following the treeless belt and looking toward the extremely majestic cross-river bridge in the distance illuminated by torches on both sides, they subconsciously thought that that should be all the achievements of the Yabu this time.

Until the dense "stomp" sounds rhythmically from far to near, more than 800 moose, composed of 10 columns, slowly emerged from the other end of the bridge, along the road that extended to the feet of the trolls such as themselves.

The track seems to be pulling something forward;

The chiefs and witch doctors who didn't know what was going on finally came to some understanding, and it seemed that the Tooth Department had done something big this time.

Later, behind the moose, a huge shadow was slowly pulled out of the curtain of night in the haze of firelight.

They finally let out real exclamations and sighs at the sight they saw in front of them.

"This... what is this!"

At this time, the familiar voice of the dictator sounded from somewhere, and the trolls suppressed the vague panic in their hearts and looked around, looking for the voice of the pioneer.

The black saber-toothed beast jumped back several times in fright, and let out a series of panicked sounds that did not quite match its body shape.

"There! All the land! The forest! The wild beasts! They will all be ours!"

"My compatriots! Allies from the Eastern Black Forest!"

These extremely intelligent lord wolves are constantly struggling in the cage, trying to win a chance to escape before they are completely 'sent to their fate';

But what restrained them was made of the same material as the cave wolf's prison. Therefore, no matter how hard they struggled, they were unable to create even a single gap for escape. They could only continue to serve as trophies for observation in the cage.

Obviously, they are all full-time workers who belong to the Far Traveler unit;

As for the reason why he died here at this time, it is naturally obvious at a glance.

'What should we do now? Do we still want to attack as planned and kill them all?'

Nesta's voice sounded at the right time, full of confidence and firmness, inspiring the minds of the trolls like a marching drum.

This black Smilodon is more than half as powerful as its 'cousin' Smilodon in the Black Forest;

"There! At the front!"

They could just pretend they didn't see it and continue to indulge in the illusory idea that "we can also become stronger" and try their best to catch up with the teeth. In fact, they would have been thrown far away.

This was naturally the trophy of the witch doctors, the 'real' wolf king that was seriously injured and yet to recover under the cave.

"Troll!!! I will make you feel the ultimate fear!!!! Even if the sun rises and sets thousands of times! I will never forget the humiliation of this moment!!"

Therefore, even if it suddenly wakes up at this time, the witch doctors are sure to close the cage walls again before it breaks free, without fear of its escape.

On the river bank five kilometers away from the Heihe Bridge, 12 wolf kings are across the river, 'listening' to the other bank from a distance, and behind them, there is an almost endless 'Sea of ​​Wolves'.

'It's really here, and even if it wakes up again, it still can't escape.'

On both sides of the tree trunk, there are cages hung by vines, holding dozens of wind wolf lords who were arrogant in the past;

Their long snouts were tied up by vines, and their figures, which should have appeared extremely large, now looked extremely small due to the background.

Although I have had this feeling before, whether it was the stations 'all over' the Black Forest, the fleet traveling across the river, or the cavalry charge during the negotiations;

These factors, coupled with various technologies that are different from those of other tribes, have actually proved this point early on.

‘What about those wolves who betrayed us! Do we have to take a detour on the way back! Who is the leader of the Black Forest!’

The trolls who stayed behind at the headquarters spontaneously gathered within the distance from the river bank to the station after learning that the dictator and an expeditionary force would arrive tonight.

‘higher organisms’.

Although there is no clear definition, this term appeared in the minds of all the trolls who witnessed this scene at this time.

But because of its special body structure, it has almost become the most powerful creature in the vast area, second only to the Wolf King, and is the main force for the monsters in the mountains to fight against the wolves.

After falling about 45 meters and reaching approximately the center of the side trunk of the giant tree, Nesta gently raised his hands and pressed down, stopping the cheers below.

After the discussion among the first twelve wolf kings was completed, the wolves crushed the corpses of the trolls to pieces, and then devoured them all, including the flesh and blood, as well as the bones that could not be digested.

So, when I saw the herd of moose that was even more majestic than I imagined, and the silhouette behind it, it seemed to be extremely huge. Unfortunately, due to the cover of the night, I couldn't see clearly behind the giant tree.

Although the size of the wolf kings is still not comparable to that of the wolves, they seem to be just a little bigger than the lord wolves;

They were fully armed and marched neatly out of the shadows at the rear, gradually entering the area illuminated by the fire;

Only then did a group of trolls discover the source of the previous part of the 'Wan Sheng' sound.

"Meow?! Meow meow meow!!!"

'Let's go, go around the southern coastline, destroy the remaining smell, and don't let the traitors smell our breath.'

'What's this?'

Gradually, gusts of wind emerged from the cracks in the tree trunks, and became stronger and stronger. The strong wind brought up gravel all over the ground, hitting the bodies and faces of the trolls, making it almost impossible for them to fully open their arms.

Eye.

The tens of meters thick barrier layer shrank little by little, and gradually, a touch of cyan hair appeared in the trolls' field of vision;

Ten centimeters, thirty centimeters, one meter, five meters.

Finally, when the barrier opened in layers toward this side, what appeared was a terrifying giant wolf;

"Wonderful victory! Wonderful victory!"

Nesta, who had originally planned to call out a few more words to suppress the 'noise', saw this and immediately started planning the next step.

"I! Your dictator Nesta! On behalf of the expeditionary force, I declare victory to you again!"

~~~~

Different from the boiling momentum of the trolls, in the forest on the left bank of the Black River, there were two forces looking at each other in different places at this time.

The trolls all retreated, because this power, which was like a natural enemy, made them involuntarily feel fear in their hearts.

The train slowly entered the station square at this time. As the moose herd stopped, a sharp and sharp friction sound was heard from the rear of the train out of sight;

Subsequently, the train as a whole finally overcame its inertia and truly stopped amidst the noise.

Of course, Nesta will not be satisfied with this. The purpose of this time is not only to consolidate its self-confidence and create an aura of "ten thousand victories", but also to show off its victory to its allies;

And Nesta also spoke again at the right time. He was standing on the top of the lying tree trunk, with his arms spread high,

"Compatriots! We have once again ushered in a great victory!"

One of the wolf kings was communicating with his companions in an unknown non-verbal way.

'I'll listen to you.'

From this, a buzzing sound sounded from the ‘mission square’

Naturally, not only those from the allies came to greet the convoy.

At this time, its limbs, long snout, sharp claws, and all the joints on its body were tightly bound by vines as thick as the troll's arms;

These vines are not the ones that were torn apart by it casually on the night of the battle, but are new products that were generated by its own energy and continued to be reinforced by the witch doctors, and it was iterated countless times;

Just when these outsiders were either fascinated or dejected and lonely after witnessing the array of warriors with their own eyes, Nesta's voice resounded in the ears of all the trolls again at the same time.

'clear.'

~~~~~

Farther to the north, there was a black Smilodon that was also exploring the condition of its teeth from a distance.

'Don't worry, we will expand the patrol scope and temporarily include your territory.'

And due to reasons such as feeding habits and personality, the black saber-toothed beasts are actually not very popular among the mountain monsters. In terms of 'reputation', they are no better than the overpopulated wolves.

Unlike modern people who are accustomed to seeing all kinds of skyscrapers and have a high degree of acceptance of giant objects, the trolls have never seen such a spectacle at such a close distance;

Although the rolling mountains, wide rivers, and other natural creations seem to be much more majestic, the giant tree lying in front of you ultimately has a special feeling because of its "artificial feel".

"We defeated the arrogant wolves! We defeated the legendary 'Black Forest Punishment'!"

The train stopped in the north, and the square extended to the south. At this time, the trolls inside and outside gathered on the wider south side to witness all this with their own eyes.

"I think it's time to retreat. Dibilius was indeed captured by them, and he didn't try to escape as we speculated."

Looking up, you can see an endless arc. The curve of the tree trunk creates a visual illusion, making it seem endless.

Judging from their breath, they had all turned into corpses at this time.

It is more than eleven meters long and six meters high. The two colors of green and red are intertwined with each other and emit bursts of light. The wind howls with it as the center, sweeping the entire square more violently than before.

Most trolls actually don’t know what ‘Black Forest Punishment’ is, so they feel somewhat confused by this statement;

At the moment, they cheered subconsciously just because of the numbers behind them.

Cheers resounded again, and under the control of the 'behind-the-scenes personnel', the pedal under Nesta's feet slowly descended amidst the enthusiastic cheers, making his figure gradually become clearer in the eyes of the trolls.

"It's incredible! My black forest!"

Through the amplification technique, his voice vibrated forward in all directions from a wide angle, resounding clearly and loudly through the night.

Therefore, under the ensuing sense of oppression, the trolls involuntarily retreated step by step until they completely shrank into the forests on both sides and covered their bodies with the majesty of nature. Then they reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then do you have the energy to really pay attention to the huge objects in front of you.

But that’s just ‘vague’. Or it’s just forcibly obscured;

'What about our territory? The mountain monsters are not stable recently. If we don't return for so long.'

These corpses have one thing in common, that is, they are all carved with dense lines;

If there is a witch doctor or apprentice belonging to the Teeth Department here, he will definitely be able to recognize that these are the totems of the 'Wind Walker', 'Polarizer', 'Wind Whisperer' and so on.

Therefore, under the stimulation of many "hostiles", the cave wolf opened its eyes again after many years.

Everything before falling asleep seemed to have happened a moment ago. Anger flashed in the deep blue eyes of the cave wolf. After sensing its current situation, it had never experienced such humiliation in its life, and its anger was like a volcano.

Uncontrollable boiling from the depths of my bones.

After realizing this, cheers far more fervent than before sounded in the square, and gradually gathered into one word.

"Pioneer! Pioneer!! Pioneer!!!"

"My compatriots!"

They also stretched their necks and were waiting.

At this time, the witch doctors slowly reduced the amount of 'tranquilizer' injected, and the drug that had been maintained at the 'boundary' suddenly fell below the dose required to maintain his drowsiness.

'Calm down, Selesius's anger will only blind your eyes. What happened to Dibilius at his peak can't warn you? You have to sneak into the enemy's lair when the situation is unknown.

?'

As Nesta's voice sounded again, the square, which had been a little noisy due to exclamations and admirations, suddenly became silent.

"Compatriots! We don't need to panic! It's just a prisoner! Victory belongs to us!"

The trolls were very fast. Before Nesta could say a few more words, they all retreated back like lightning, and they all gathered in the square in front of the station.

And when the torches lit up on the back of the giant tree, completely exposing its majestic figure to the sight of all onlookers, the cheers finally reached its peak.

But to be honest, compared to this giant tree that had no idea what its use was, the nearly two thousand cavalry and infantry mixed combat troops, who were almost armed to the teeth, actually made them feel more frightened.

The remaining trolls, who were deeply proud and shocked, also let out bursts of cheers.

For external witch doctors and chiefs, the giant trees and tracks in front of them certainly have an indescribable majesty. Both their size and the way they travel are full of inconceivability;

Unfortunately, the Black Sabretooth is used to being alone and rarely appears in groups;

Therefore, they cannot really pose a threat to the Wolf King, or even groups of elite wolf lords.

During this trip, they have to land on land again in the south before reaching the influence of the sea, and then return to their nest along the coastline.

The moose herd slowly drove the giant tree across the bridge. When the giant tree, which was 90 meters wide and 120 meters long, finally approached, the trolls gathered in the treeless zone realized that they were too close.

.

At the same time, a burst of neat footsteps also sounded from the shadow at the bottom of the giant tree.

At this time, this black saber-toothed beast, which carefully avoided the strange "naturalized" wolves and escaped the Farstrider troops, was approaching the territory of the Yabu from north to south along the Black River.

"That's why! Starting from the left bank of the Heihe River! It's two thousand kilometers long from east to west and 800 kilometers wide from north to south! From now on, it will become our new paradise!"

Just when it was feeling confused, a terrifying sound carrying information caused ripples in the river and rushed towards its face.

As more and more trolls reacted, everyone ran towards the station, because there was a pre-arranged square there, and only there could provide them with enough angles to look up.

Its mouth was obviously bound by vines, but the terrifying sound still sounded from nowhere, sweeping across the bodies of the trolls like a substance, and spread far away after arousing layers of shudders.

The person who answered the old wolf was actually one of the two wolf kings that Jian Ya went to 'visit'.

Then, he continued to speak to the trolls who were quiet again,

'I also agree, don't forget that they may choose to let the king go in the end. No, let Dibilius go. We won't get any benefits at that time, it will tear us all apart before falling asleep again.'

'Well, these corpses are of no use anymore. Let the wolves eat them without leaving even a trace. Although I don't want to admit it, from now on, it seems that it is our turn to lie dormant.'

They are strong and tough enough to restrain even monsters like cave wolves in a short period of time.

The sharp-eyed troll immediately spotted Nesta's traces because he was standing relatively far back;

The trolls looked along his arms, and some only saw towering tree trunks, while others saw the dictator's figure standing on the top of a cliff.

Therefore, it is best for the defeated thing to be completely exposed in front of all witnesses.

Therefore, amid the continued cheers of the trolls, the 'behind-the-scenes workers' opened the belly of the giant tree bit by bit according to the preset procedures.

In addition to these vines, another layer of insurance is the vine 'syringes' that are spread all around the cave wolf. They grow from the inside of the barrier, with their sharp tips piercing under its skin, using drugs to control its physical condition.

.

"Wonderful victory! Wonderful victory!"

'Yes, this guy has been defeated by the dictator, and now he is just a piece of meat for us to slaughter.'

The square was surrounded by torches, and the firelight they emitted dispersed the shadows at the bottom of the south side of the giant tree. The three thousand soldiers walking on both sides along the way, always guarding the train and the witch doctors, were finally revealed from front to back.

body shape.

'By the way, Yubelius and Lucia, you two are staying on the way, right? Wait for a while and then turn back and make a formal visit. If possible, you can use them to capture Dibilius.'

'Yes.'

'Okay. What about you, Lucia?'

‘.I understand, I lost my temper’

"The Teeth are completely different from us", this is the unanimous sentiment of almost all outsiders at this time;

As it gradually approached the Heihe Bridge, its keen ears heard the cheers from the other side;

The black saber-toothed beast stopped, stretched its neck, and looked far toward the opposite bank. In addition to the dots of fire, what came into view was a huge thing whose outline could be vaguely seen even from such a distance.

Immediately afterwards, after the lord wolves wiped away the scent left behind, the wolves, led by the wolf kings, dived into the river and swam south.

A high-spirited response came from the station, from within the headquarters, and then from the back of the train that had not yet stopped;

The owner of this 'voice' is an old wolf. It seems to have a certain prestige even among the wolf kings, and can discuss and arrange some things.

The attention of all the trolls was naturally attracted to the gap. They raised their necks and looked eagerly, wanting to see where this huge power came from.

Only then, with the help of firelight and angles, did they really get a clear view of Nesta and the huge thing at his feet.

At its feet, nearly ten troll bodies lay scattered in various directions;

One of them is a pack of wolves that appeared here at this time for unknown reasons.

So on the side of Nesta, the tree trunks slowly opened

Due to the hard work of the witch doctors, the walls of the prison separated from each other one by one like multiple overlapping ribs, and then retracted into the gaps between each other like a Rubik's Cube, like Tetris that disappeared at the bottom of the screen.

The size of the opening and closing surfaces is gradually expanded.

But today, when this man was holding a long contradiction card, carrying a steel-wood heavy sword on his waist, carrying eight heavy-throwing spears arranged in a fan shape, and a fully covered armor with almost invisible skin, he really appeared in front of them.

The idea of ​​'not being the same' appeared so directly, leaving no room for their imagination.

'Yes, although Dibilius was seriously injured by those guys from the volcano group, he is by no means someone who can be easily captured alive. This unknown method may trap us.'

Dibilius's voice seemed to have some kind of 'all-knowing' effect. After a brief moment of panic, the big cat immediately understood the situation of that damn guy.

It carefully looked around and found that its previous panic did not seem to be seen by any 'thinking' creature?

After confirming this, it slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

I saw that the big cat gradually regained its composure. If you ignore its still trembling limbs, this is indeed true.

In short, after the big cat thought it had regained its composure, it once again stretched out its four long legs and gradually approached the Heihe Bridge along the direction it had been traveling in before.

Its target is the fangs. Although it can reach its destination by swimming across the river, driven by strong curiosity, the black sabertooth is still ready to walk further to see what the strange thing in the distance is.
