Chapter 16
Offense
Su Ming was riding on Da Bai, and beside him was the Elf Commander Zelda.
This was the first war that the Elf Clan had launched after a long period of silence. Zelda was certainly not absent.
There was a slightly grave expression on her face. She cast a glance at the Elf army behind her, then at the side of Su Ming’s face, and only then did her expression ease up a little.
Su Ming also noticed her gaze. He chuckled softly before he spoke.
“Don’t worry, Zelda. I’ve become the prophet of the Elf Clan.”
“Then, for the development of the Elf Clan, I naturally won’t fight a war without preparation.”
“I’ve already made sufficient preparations to deal with the Ghoul tribe this time. We will definitely win this war.”
When Zelda heard that, her expression softened and she smiled at Su Ming.
“Of course, great prophet. I believe that under your leadership, the Elven race will definitely reach new heights.”
After Su Ming created the new Tree of Life and increased the combat abilities of the Elf Warriors by quite a bit…
His reputation in the entire Elf Clan was second only to Zelda’s. Some people even thought that he was more important than Zelda.
Zelda himself seemed to think the same.
In her eyes, if it were not for Su Ming’s appearance, the Elf Clan would have been in a slump by now. How would they still have the energy to expand?
When Su Ming heard that, he chuckled softly and turned his gaze toward the troops he was leading.
Behind them were a few hundred Elf Archers and many Goblin Warriors.
It was true that Goblin Warriors were not as good as Elven Archers in combat.
However, when there were enough of them, they were also a fighting force that could not be ignored.
Furthermore, they would need someone to clean up the battlefield after the battle, and the Goblins were undoubtedly the best choice.
In addition, in front of the large group, there was a tree man who seemed to be weak in the knees. He was moving at a seemingly slow speed, but in fact, he was moving very fast.
The Keeper of the Grove.
When he saw it, Su Ming’s lips curled up, and a confident smile appeared on his face.
After that, Su Ming gave another order and directed the Army to head toward the Ghoul tribe.
As the main force moved forward, the Elf Hunters that Su Ming had spread out earlier killed all the small teams of Ghouls that appeared.
Since they were going to launch an all-out attack, they had to let the Ghoul tribe know about this as late as possible.
It would be best if the Ghoul tribe could only react when the Army arrived at the city.
That was why Su Ming had sent out most of the Elf Hunters to kill the Ghoul teams that might discover their movements.
About two hours later, the large group of people, who were marching at full speed, arrived at the entrance of a Valley surrounded by mountains on three sides.
This was the Ghoul tribe.
He stopped, and the air began to fill with tension and excitement.
Everyone’s eyes were firmly locked on the position of the valley entrance.
Although it was called the entrance of the valley, the entrance was actually extremely wide, enough to accommodate dozens of people charging side by side.
Zelda sucked in a deep breath and turned to look at Su Ming.
“The great prophet?”
Su Ming came back to his senses, and a hint of excitement gradually appeared in his eyes.
This war would be the battle for him to stand tall in this region!
If he won this battle, he would be able to obtain many of the most important resources for his early development!
By then, he would be able to pull apart the gap between him and the other players who were about to enter the game world!
As he thought about it, Su Ming closed his eyes slightly, then slowly opened them. His eyes returned to their usual calmness, but his tone was incredibly infectious.
“Warriors, for the sake of our tribe, now…let’s charge!”
As soon as Su Ming finished speaking, the Elves’ roars shook the sky. The Goblin Warriors and Elf Hunters started charging, and the Elf Archers followed closely behind.
At this time, the Ghoul tribe had already been alarmed. The Ghouls opened their bloody mouths and drooled non-stop. They also raised their stone axes, broadswords, and other weapons in their hands and charged toward the Elves.
However, these hasty counterattacks were quickly suppressed by the firepower of the Elven Archers.
The Ghouls’ first wave of attack was stopped.
But…things were far from over.
After the first wave of Ghouls was repelled, countless Ghouls began to surge out of the valley.
That scene could simply be said to be overwhelming.
The entrance of the valley was quickly filled with Ghouls.
This was also the reason why they were able to occupy this Valley with rich resources.
There were too many of them.
There were so many of them that the Elf Archers, who were constantly drawing their arrows, felt a little despair.
Su Ming had already expected this to happen.
When he was investigating earlier, he had more or less figured out the approximate number of Ghouls in the Ghoul tribe.
When he saw the Ghouls charging forward, Su Ming immediately gave orders to the Keeper of the Grove beside him.
“Go!”
The Keeper of the Grove got up obediently and rushed toward the battlefield at a speed that did not match his weak-looking body.
During this process, his body began to expand rapidly. Soon, he turned from a two-meter tall twig to a giant that was about four meters tall.
That harmless and weak appearance had also turned into a somewhat terrifying giant tree spirit in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, his body began to split.
The two branches of the Tree of Life separated from each other and quickly turned into a tall tree spirit as tall as him with a terrifying face.
In the beginning, the huge Ghoul Army did not take the three tree spirits seriously.
But soon, when they really arrived at the battlefield and punched the ground…
They finally understood how terrifying these cumbersome-looking tree spirits were.
Not only were their speed and vitality comparable to theirs, but the tree spirits also possessed terrifying strength that was even more terrifying than their four-meter-tall bodies.
With a single punch, dozens of Ghouls were smashed into meat patties.
The three tree spirits entered the battlefield, and hundreds of Ghouls were killed in just one move.
After that, they were like elephants charging into a colony of ants, stomping and running wildly.
The Ghoul tribe’s continuous advance could not stop them from destroying everything.
The Elves’ morale was boosted when they saw how powerful the prophet’s helper was. They nocked their arrows and charged faster.
The situation on the battlefield began to change.
