Struggle in the Steam Age

In the jungle not far from Pine Valley, a group of dark elves were quickly retreating towards the place they had just arrived.

On the other side of the road tens of meters away from them, some gray dwarves also retreated quickly towards another tunnel entrance.

"Retreat, retreat!" The commander of the dark elf, who is also a priest of the spider goddess Rose, looked at the group of panting priests and shouted loudly.

It's just that the priests under her looked so weak that they needed the support of the male dark elves to reluctantly move on the path in the forest.

Under normal circumstances, although the spellcasters of the elves are much weaker than those of the transcendents who are purely melee professional, because of the racial advantage, as long as they are not too old or physically disabled, their overall quality is not better than those of ordinary warriors. What a difference.

Not to mention that these dark elf spellcasters are all female clergy, and they usually use a lot of extraordinary drugs to strengthen their bodies, even after they are old, they can easily run 5km or something.

As for the reason why they are now being framed with dead dogs, it is also very simple. That's because after the previous sneak attack on the elite troops of the wilderness race failed, the dark elves who realized that the offensive against Pine Valley was doomed to fail ordered the use of a mobile altar prepared before to cast blood burning and rage against other wilderness races.

Then they took the opportunity of the wild race frantically to rush into the Pine Valley position and quickly escaped from the front line, and then flee desperately toward the tunnel entrance.

Their approach can also be regarded as the traditional art of the dark elves. For this group of evil black skins, once defeated, it is inevitable to weaken the previous comrades as much as possible.

Only in this way can they ensure that they can maintain their absolute advantage over the surrounding wilderness races after they become weak due to the defeat.

As for the gray dwarves, they did not conspire with the dark elves to do this, but because of their super magic resistance, this wide range of magic is naturally ineffective against the gray dwarves.

After discovering what their old opponents were doing, the experience of fighting each other for a long time allowed the gray dwarves to immediately know what the group of dark elves wanted to do, and then quickly formed a defensive formation to maintain their defense against the dark elves. Be vigilant, and then withdrew from the front at the fastest speed.

"Leave the gray dwarves alone." The dark elf priest who led the dark elf priest said aloud while watching the dark elf warriors running along with the female priests and staring vigilantly in the direction of the gray dwarves.

Because she found that the vigilant state of the group of dark elf warriors under her had seriously affected the speed of running.

The reason why she is so impatient is because she knows that those guys whose brains have been completely crazy under the influence of magic cannot cause much damage to the fully defensive Pine Valley, or even delay it for too long.

In this case, they must enter the tunnel as soon as possible to escape from the pursuit of the Pine Valley defenders.

After hearing the direct orders from the leading dark elf priest, the dark elf warriors simply erected the priests around them. Then he followed his leader and retreated to the scheduled evacuation site as quickly as possible.

But just as they ran away in the jungle, the dark elf priest who was leading the way in the front suddenly found that the surrounding jungle suddenly became quiet.

"Alert—" After realizing that the surrounding situation was not right, the pastor immediately raised a hand to signal everyone to stop.

And after receiving the order, the group of dark elves who were still running desperately just stopped immediately. Then the dark elf warriors drew out their weapons to surround the priest who was almost out of strength.

"What happened?" After the dark elves formed a defensive formation, a dark elf priest asked.

"Should we not enter the tunnel now? Why did we stop at this time? What if those bugs on the ground catch up?"

"Shut up--" the leading dark elf pastor drew in a low voice, and at the same time raised the wand in his hand vigilantly and carefully looked at the surrounding situation.

"Just now we have been able to hear the footsteps of the gray-skinned dwarfs that can wake the sleeping dragons, but now you listen to your surroundings."

After she said that, the dark elves who had calmed down also realized that something was wrong. With long ears, their hearing is much stronger than humans, but now they find that not only the clinking sound of the gray dwarves’ armor collision and the thumping sound of their heavy boots on the ground have disappeared. No, even the sound of some animal activities that should have been around has disappeared.

"Maybe--maybe the war frightened those animals away." A dark elf priest said, but the trembling in her voice showed that her heart was not as calm as she had shown.

The others on the scene did not answer her, because this place was not frontal and the battlefield had been separated by several hills, and the shouting of killing on the battlefield had become very weak. So it is theoretically impossible to scare away all the animals in this place.

Not to mention that they had heard a lot of the squeaking noises of vampire bats that were burned by flames when they flew over the treetops, but now, all of these sounds have disappeared. There was only the sound of tree trunks shaking and leaves rubbing when the wind blew through the woods.

"Let's go ahead, don't scare yourself by yourself..." said a dark elf priest who hadn't noticed anything after a ten-second pause.

"If we waste too much time here, I think the guards in the valley should be able to spare a part of the elite manpower to chase us down."

The dark elves are not a noble race that likes to sacrifice themselves, especially for these priests Rose. For example, when they came, there were more than 170 dark elves, but now there are fewer than forty.

The reason for this is that they left the dark elves who were not the core family of the dungeons in place before escaping, disguising themselves as the headquarters of the wilderness race to attract the attention of the Pine Valley defenders.

Therefore, the group of dark elves who ran after discovering that the situation was not good on the front line were naturally thinking about escaping back to the tunnel, so when they did not find any obvious enemies around, they immediately asked to continue the escape plan just now.

Soon, the 30-odd dark elves were relieved of their alert status and continued to run towards the entrance of the tunnel~www.ltnovel.com~ It may be because there was no enemy found along the way, so these dark elves started to act. Become a lot lighter. But when they came to a place just separated by a small forest from the entrance and exit, a stench directly penetrated into their noses.

The dark elves, who felt that something was wrong, immediately switched to another tunnel entrance. There was no special smell here, but when they walked in, they unexpectedly discovered that the tunnel through which the dragon cannon had passed had collapsed.

"Leave here." After taking a look at the fresh and smooth cuts on the gravel at the entrance of the cave, the dark elf priest who led the team hurriedly backed away with his subordinates.

Because they can be sure that this place was still good half an hour ago, and the existence of cutting all the stones at the entrance of the cave in such a short time to block the entrance of the cave is definitely not something that these exhausted dark elves can resist. .

But at this time they had already taken a beat, just as the dark elves discovered that the situation was not right and prepared to withdraw the previous ones. When in the forest, a green figure suddenly fell from the sky. Then many people went black and didn't know anything.
