Moon Soul Elf! From Jader's words, Taiyi and others could roughly guess who the hundreds of soldiers in the distance were.
However, how should I put it, I don’t know what others think. In fact, Taiyi is a little disappointed!
In terms of appearance, he is satisfied - it is very delicate and delicate, a hundred times better than the hairy rough men, rough... women, quite mixed-race feeling;
But his skin color and height were unacceptable to him!
The pale skin is close to bluish white, or moon white, like a zombie. The long white hair with a hint of golden light makes the skin even more weird. The more it looks, the less it looks like a living thing existing in the sun.
The most exaggerated thing is the height. Both men and women are over 2.3 meters tall. This makes Taiyi, who claims to have an advantage in height, very unhappy at 1.83 meters tall!
Taiyi was looking at the face and figure, while the others were observing the characteristics of the Moon Soul Elf regular army.
In terms of weapons, they are very standardized. They all carry a long bow on their backs and a one-handed sword hanging on their waists - to them it is a one-handed sword, to normal humans it is a broad-bladed two-handed sword, with a sword in their hands. Spear.
The long bow, the scabbard of the one-handed sword, and the spear were all as crystal clear as jade, shining softly, much like moonlight.
In terms of armor, there are two types, one is light armor made of unknown metal, and the other is leather armor made of unknown leather. They both look soft and are engraved with smooth patterns. It emits bursts of slight energy fluctuations, which should be magic equipment.
When it comes to mounts, it is obvious that there is no longer a unified standard, and there are many kinds of riding——
Some look like deer, but their antlers are a little ridiculously big;
Some are like tigers and leopards, which have six legs and exposed bone spurs on their shoulders, elbows, and hips;
Some look like velociraptors, but they have a row of horns at the end of their noses and long, shimmering feathers on their bodies;
Some are like ostriches, but with sharp fangs, and two particularly prominent ones, similar to ivory;
There are also some that are very similar to the swamp dragons rode by Taiyi and others, but they are about ten times smaller, and the overall length is only more than 5 meters.
Before these soldiers appeared, everyone on Taiyi's side, except Mikoto and the other five, heard a melodious but very low-pitched whistle, which should be a signal for them to assemble and move out.
Taiyi carefully looked at their appearance one by one and counted them. There were 336 people in total, including 36 wearing leather armor and 300 wearing light armor.
Taiyi and the others looked at the team of Moon Soul Elf, who also spotted Taiyi and others as soon as they came out of the dense forest.
Immediately, they made a huge commotion. Not only the soldiers, but also their mounts were scratching the ground with their forelimbs and neighing.
Let's not talk about the strength of Taiyi and the others. Just look at the huge special dragons that are close to the pure-blood dragons. Their tired and incomplete expeditionary force cannot resist them.
First of all, facing the Yalong, their mounts are useless - the mount does not turn around and run away, which is enough to prove its loyalty to the master. As for charging up? The owner wouldn't dare, let alone them.
Secondly, although their weapons and armor are attached with magical energy, the Yalong's body naturally possesses magical energy: the bast on the body's surface cannot be broken by low-level magic weapons. On the contrary, the Yalong can attack it with just one blow Destroy low-level magic armor.
In the end, this group of people did not look like strong men from the Middle-earth and Northwest Territories, nor were they members of the escort team. They were still talking to each other.
"Harandis, our mission seems to be in trouble!" A male elf wearing leather armor said to the female elf wearing light armor next to him.
"Als, what do you think?" Harandis did not respond directly, but asked Als.
"I don't know. These people suddenly appeared. When I led the reconnaissance team yesterday, I saw no trace of them."
Als shook his head slightly, a little annoyed. As an inspector of the scout army, he did not discover such a powerful force, which caused the pursuit force to choose such an inappropriate ambush location.
"However, from the perspective of a scout inspector, I do not recommend continuing the attack. We should retreat temporarily and wait for Atasha and her rebels to separate from the unknown forces before taking action."
"It's Princess Atasha!" Harandis scolded Als for his inappropriate words. "Her Majesty the Queen did not revoke Princess Atasha's title. Our mission is to bring her back to the kingdom, not to harm her."
"Moreover, we don't have much time. The Kingdom of Darkness will soon discover that there is a problem with our negotiation documents. They..."
Harandis was full of melancholy, "They are not of the same mind as us. Their king may have betrayed the gods just like Princess Atasha!"
Hearing this, Als was silent for a while.
Their pursuit team consists of two parts:
Some of them are regular soldiers, from the first brigade of the Royal Guards of the Moonlight Kingdom, the ace among the elite, and the commander is Harandis - the Moonlight Queen's attendant, close friend, and first knight;
The other part is the scouts, the first detachment of the Dark Moon Army from the Moonlight Kingdom. They are also ace in intelligence and assassination. Their leader is Als, the famous Queen's Dagger in the northwest of the earth.
According to common sense, with this configuration, Atasha would still be defeated even if he hired regular troops from the Kingdom of Dunland to escort him.
But things are so unpredictable.
When the escort was formed, Jardel, who prioritized safety, roped in a group of dwarves, who were also dark-blooded dwarves who were famous for their fighting abilities;
Then, this team would rather give up the most time-saving and labor-saving route and insist on taking the Yunwu Mountains.
The Moon Soul Elves are least good at climbing mountains, and can even be said to be afraid of climbing mountains. In addition, they have companions on mounts and wear magic armor. Due to multiple inconveniences, they had to let Als lead a small number of scouts to follow them, while the others walked through the Noisy River;
Then, the convoy did not go south to the fords of the Anguret River, but forcibly crossed the rapids of the river - before, the convoy had obviously tried to avoid the river...
In short, a series of changes that were unexpected for the chasing team made each of their attacks hasty, allowing the escort team to escape repeatedly.
Today, they finally encountered the biggest trouble, an unbeatable force.
"Mikoto, tell that princess, we will protect her now." Yayoi suddenly said loudly to Mikoto.
Her language was incomprehensible to everyone present except Taiyi and his party, but through Baling's magic, it was directly imprinted into their spirits.
"Are there spiritual magicians among them?!" Harandis and Als looked at each other in shock - now, they were really at a loss!
Not only them, but the soldiers and scouts who had been maintaining the queue behind them also began to feel uneasy. They couldn't tell whether it was fear or other emotions, but they were just confused and wanted to leave as soon as possible.
"Great strong men, please forgive me, I cannot accept your protection." A clear voice came from the first carriage.
