Midnight.

A bright moon is shining in the sky, and a few thin clouds are drifting in the wind.

In the fields of the Crescent River Valley, a group of people hid in the drainage ditches between the ridges, looking into the distance at the Crescent City located on the Round Moon Hill.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flew silently in the sky, gently landed on the shoulder of one of the figures, and made a "coo~~coo~coo~" sound.

It's a black-feathered owl.

After it cooed for a while, the figure began to speak softly in a language that was very different from the common language of the Nature Alliance, and his voice was a little hoarse.

"Lord Phoenix, it says there are many warriors patrolling Crescent City."

Following these words, a male voice with a hint of disdain came from the drainage ditch.

"Ted is a warrior, but his son is a coward who hides his head like a turtle!"

These words resonated with many people, and a low response sounded in the drainage ditch.

After they got the news, they gathered urgently and rushed here as fast as they could, intending to teach the new baron a lesson.

As a result, I went to the Sea Breeze Outpost, but it was empty. I went to the Sturgeon Wharf, but there was no one at the pier either, not even a dog.

I felt like there was a gust of air stuck in my chest and I couldn't let it out. It was so uncomfortable.

After a while, the male voice spoke again: "We can't just leave like this, we must let the human race know how powerful we are!"

As these words were spoken, a figure stood up in the drainage ditch, with the frosty white moonlight shining on it, revealing the clearly discernible outlines of its facial features.

This man had wild facial features, a pair of amber-gold eyes, and long dark green hair tied into a dozen thin braids.

Looking at his figure again, the body wrapped in animal skins is very slender, with a thin waist, broad shoulders, long arms and legs. Overall he looks full of explosive power, like an elegant leopard.

If any island resident saw this man, they would recognize him at a glance: this was the alien forest spirit from the White Sturgeon Island.

The golden eyes of this forest elf warrior sparkled in the moonlight, staring at the Crescent City in the distance without blinking, while one hand was leaning on a hardwood warhammer made of wood knots.

"The walls of Crescent City are very low, and we can easily climb over them. Although there are many soldiers patrolling, the city is huge, and there are always places that are overlooked."

"We will sneak in quietly, find a military camp, kill them all for a cup of tea, and then leave immediately."

He is the commander of this night attack and also the hero of the tribe. More than 20 powerful human warriors have died in his hands. Since he has made this decision, other forest spirit warriors immediately began to prepare for battle.

Drink water, eat food, and excrete. In short, put your body into the best fighting state.

About half an hour later, Phoenix issued a final order: "All forest warriors, drink the potion."

Forest elves do not have the fighting spirit of human warriors, but forest elves who can be called "forest warriors" at least have physical strength similar to that of high-level human warriors.

Following his order, 50 of the 200 lurking forest elves stood up, including Phoenix himself, and they all took out the pottery jars from their waists and drank them all in one gulp.

As the potion entered their stomachs, a gleam of blood appeared in the eyes of each forest spirit, and their exposed skin had a distinct silver-grey metallic luster, making them look like a group of steel warriors.

"Set off!"

Phoenix jumped out of the drainage ditch first, took big steps, and following the cover of various dark shadows in the fields, he sneaked silently towards the nearby Crescent City at an almost ghostly speed.

50 forest warriors followed closely, followed by a group of ordinary forest elf warriors.

According to past combat experience, even with a high level of vigilance, humans would most likely not be able to detect the forest elves sneaking in quickly in the dark night.

One reason is that forest spirits are extremely good at hiding and have a unique talent for affinity with plants and animals, so the hunting dogs domesticated by humans will not give any warning at all.

Second, the night vision of humans is far inferior to that of forest elves. As long as the forest elves hide in places where they themselves cannot see clearly, humans will become blind.

But this time, for some reason, as the distance got closer, Phoenix suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

It's like being stared at by a wild beast in the forest.

When he rushed to about 50 meters away from the guardrail, the sense of danger was so strong that he had to raise his hand to issue a new command gesture.

"Stop, retreat!"

“Retreat immediately!”

His rich combat experience made him realize that he might have stepped into a trap carefully set by the hunter.

But the team only had 200 people, and the formation was somewhat scattered due to the requirements of stealth. Although the order was issued, it did not spread throughout the team for a while.

For a moment, some people moved forward, some stopped, and some retreated, and the formation became a little chaotic.

At this moment, a row of bright balls of light suddenly rushed into the sky from behind the protective wall, illuminating the location of the forest spirit as bright as day.

Immediately afterwards, a row of figures stood up on top of the parapet.

At first glance, they were densely packed, at least 200 in number, and they were all archers!

Immediately afterwards, there was movement in the field beside him.

It's the sound of horse hooves!

The sound of horses' hooves echoed in unison, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

It’s the human cavalry!

Judging from the commotion, the number is at least over 150. It is estimated that all the war horses in the New Moon City have been pulled out.

There is no doubt that they rushed headfirst into an ambush carefully set up by the human race.

Phoenix felt his heart pounding and was filled with shock.

It has always been the forest elves who set up encirclements in the mountains and forests to ambush humans, but tonight, they were ambushed by humans!

"Break through~~Break through with all your strength~~~"

Phoenix roared, and under the effect of the potion, his voice also had a strong metallic taste.

He wielded the wooden knotty hammer blessed by the prophet, rushed to the front of the team, and rushed towards the nearest forest.

"Archer~~~shoot~~~"

A voice that sounded familiar to Phoenix came from behind the parapet, and he remembered the other person's identity after a little thought.

It was Crescent City’s Knight Commander, Codlin. The two sides had fought several times before, always with a draw, but he didn’t expect that he would be defeated so thoroughly today.

"Boom~~~"

A rain of arrows rose up behind him.

Phoenix yelled: "Dodge~Fight back~~"

For humans, dodging arrows is a high-end operation, but for the nimble forest elves, it can only be considered a mid-range operation.

Many forest elves can even fight back while dodging, and their shots are quite accurate.

Because forest spirits live in the mountains and forests, they have been learning archery and hunting since childhood.

"Puff, puff, puff~~"

At least 90% of the human archers' arrows missed the target, but the remaining 10% of the arrows hit the target, killing more than 20 forest elves or injuring them.

In this case, being shot by an arrow is no different from death.

Phoenix also saw many of his comrades fighting back, but the sharp counterattacks of the past were ineffective tonight.

Because he didn't hear the screams of the human warriors.

In the midst of his busy schedule, he looked back and found a strange sight on the parapet.

Although there seemed to be nothing, the human arrows could be shot out from behind the protective wall, but the arrows of the forest elves could not penetrate.

It seemed to be blocked by an invisible force.

"It's the magic of the human race!"

Phoenix immediately understood the other party's intention. He not only wanted to destroy them all, but also wanted to minimize his own casualties.

Obviously, this is a death trap carefully built by the other party, and there is no possibility of breaking out.

This discovery made Phoenix feel desperate, and after despair, he was filled with rage.

He couldn't help but let out a long roar towards the sky.

"Forest warriors, follow me and charge into the city. Let's show these despicable humans how powerful we are!"

In the past, he didn't have the courage, but now, he has obtained the power blessed by the dragon.

Even if he died in battle, he would bite off a piece of flesh from the opponent.

“Roar~~~Roar~~~”

50 forest warriors roared in response, turned around and followed Phoenix, charging towards the protective wall!

When faced with a rain of arrows, if they were aimed at their bodies, they would not dodge. If they were aimed at their eyes and other vulnerable parts, they would either lower their heads or block them with the hardwood weapons in their hands.

This is a combat skill summarized from previous combat practices and was very effective in the past.

But after running less than ten meters, Phoenix realized something was wrong.

He actually heard the screams of the forest warriors.

Just as he was shocked, suddenly an arrow flew towards him.

The trajectory of this arrow is straight, and its speed is much faster than the previous projectile arrow. Based on the intuition of a powerful warrior, Phoenix knows that this must be a human archer who is specifically sniping him.

In the midst of his busy schedule, he dodged to the side.

"Hiss~~"

With a sharp whistling sound like a venomous snake, the arrow flew past his arm.

The tip of the arrow shone with a strange luster that had never been seen before, and when the arrowhead brushed against his skin, it easily left a bloody mark on his arm.

When the burning pain spread from his arm to his heart, Phoenix knew something big had happened.

The other party has mastered an extremely sharp weapon that can easily penetrate the body blessed by the dragon clan.

"Uh~"

"Hmm~~"

The screams of the forest warriors continued to be heard around me.

They had rushed out less than 40 meters and were still more than ten meters away from the protective wall, and only less than 20 of the 50 forest warriors were left.

At the same time, Phoenix also heard dense screams coming from the fields behind him.

He took a quick look back during his busy schedule and found that the human cavalry were wearing sophisticated thick leather armor, holding spears or crossbows, and were frequently urging their fighting spirit to attack his fellow tribesmen frantically.

The human cavalry's equipment is too sophisticated, their weapons are too sharp, and when their fighting spirit bursts out, they possess strength and speed far beyond the limits of their physical bodies.

In a head-on fight on the open ground, the forest elves were no match for the human warriors!

What’s more, humans have war horses, so they can’t escape even if they want to!

At this moment, Phoenix's heart was bleeding.

These were the bravest warriors in the tribe, but because of his wrong decision, they fell into such a death trap and were harvested by the enemy like wheat.

“Ah~~~~”

He roared in anger and his eyes turned red.

He no longer cared about anything else and only had eyes for the earth wall in front of him.

He wanted to rush forward, flip over, and rush into the human city area, killing all the human warriors he saw until he had used up all his strength and shed his last drop of blood.

He is indeed an extremely good warrior and a hero of his race. After obtaining the power of the potion, he has become an even more terrifying killing machine.

With a sprint, he relied on his terrifying physical strength and extremely high spell resistance to force his way through the resistance field in front of the earth wall and climbed over the guardrail.

He wanted to kill! Kill like crazy! But there was no one on the wall. When the archers saw him coming, they retreated far away.

He immediately rushed towards the nearest archer.

“Die!”

He roared.

After just two steps, he saw a tall figure rushing towards him. It was his old rival, the knight Kaudrin! "Kaudrin~ You're just in time!"

Phoenix roared and swung the gnarled wooden hammer violently at Kaudrin.

Kaudrin immediately burst into fighting spirit and raised the steel round shield in his hand.

"Bang~~"

With a dull thud, Phoenix took two steps back, while Kaudrin was knocked directly off the city wall.

Phoenix roared again, dodged an arrow shot at his thigh, and then jumped off the city wall.

He must kill this old rival tonight! 'Poof~'

He landed, but did not see Codlin. Suddenly he heard the sound of horse hooves. Turning around, he saw a knight slowly walking towards him from the left.

Under the silver moonlight, I saw a man in black armor and a black horse. The man was tall and the horse was majestic, and two exquisite crystal daggers were slowly spinning around him.

At this moment, even though he was his mortal enemy, Phoenix had to admit that this human knight was an extraordinary person.

At least that's what it seems like.

He soon discovered that this man looked very much like the old Baron Ted, but he was much younger than Ted, his armor was much more gorgeous, and the warhorse he rode was obviously more majestic.

A thought came to Phoenix's mind.

"This must be Ted's son, the new Baron Rosen!"

"Okay~ You actually hid here~ and dared to face me alone~ I'll just kill you!"

With a roar, Phoenix rushed forward.

The baron did not flee, but still sat upright on his horse, his face as cold as ice. However, the two crystal daggers around him suddenly turned into two streams of light, whistling towards Phoenix.

"Haha~ Useless trick!"

Phoenix's gnarled warhammer swung violently to block.

He is worthy of being called a hero among the forest elves. Facing a dagger as fast as a stream of light, he was able to block it without missing a single blow.

"Dangdangdang~"

There were dense vibrations in the darkness.

Two streams of light swirled around the Phoenix, as if an invisible assassin was slashing wildly.

Phoenix blocked it for two seconds, and the contempt in his heart completely disappeared.

Because he felt terrible pressure.

Obviously, these two floating daggers were not very powerful, but their attack angles were extremely tricky. Not only did they avoid his counterattacks, but they also specifically drilled into the most difficult-to-defend blind spots.

It was as if he was facing a master assassin with perfect fighting skills.

It was extremely difficult for him to defend himself and he even dared not breathe, for he was afraid that his strength would be slightly interrupted by breathing.

But how can a person not breathe? Especially when facing such heavy pressure at this moment.

After holding it in for about 15 seconds, Phoenix finally couldn't help it and took a deep breath.

The next moment, this tiny loophole was discovered.

There was only a slight "puff" sound.

Phoenix felt his left arm go cold, and instantly lost consciousness, and his movements froze.

"Oops!"

It was during this period of pause that he was attacked continuously.

"Puff, puff, puff~"

The arms, thighs, lower abdomen, etc. were stabbed continuously, and the hard body blessed by the dragon clan had completely lost its defensive function.

In less than two seconds, Phoenix was stabbed nine times!

He felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained away. He fell to the ground with a thump, and an idea popped into his mind.

"So strong!"

In terms of strength, he may be several times that of his opponent. As long as he hits his opponent once, he will win the game, but the opponent does not give him any chance to attack.

'Ding ding ding~~'

The sound of horse hooves rang in my ears, and a calm, almost indifferent voice came from above my head, as if it was a god who dominated fate.

"Caudlin, tie him up and stop the bleeding. Don't let him die so quickly."

"Yes, Lord!"

It was the voice of his old rival, Caudlin.

This stubborn peasant knight who rarely obeyed anyone actually expressed deep respect in his voice.

"Is this Ted's eldest son? My tribe is in trouble!"

Before he passed out, Phoenix had one last thought in his mind.

The performance of this book was not very good and I was in a bad mood, so I decided to write a princess spin-off to soothe my hurt mood.

ps: This book is indeed not well written, and Lao Mo is very clear about it, but he really tried his best.

I hereby make a sacred vow that it will be renewed normally no matter what happens next.

After it is put on the shelves, regardless of the performance, I will update three times a day without stopping. Unless there is force majeure, I will finish all the main lines.

PS: I will write the extra chapter when I have time.

(End of this chapter)
