Chapter 535 534. When the hatred has disappeared

The topography of the Dark Valley is indeed as wonderful as Adele said.

Especially after Sister Shiliu followed the NPC across three consecutive sections of suspension bridges, she realized that it was impossible to storm this area! The roads here were too narrow, and ground troops could not pass in large numbers, and the half-elves were very difficult.

The cunning one has left some psychic traps along the way.

Xiao Ashina can be sure that those traps can collapse as long as they are activated. This is the only way forward and retreat. In critical moments, these half-elves don't even need to activate the traps. They only need to destroy the suspension bridge, which is enough to turn three consecutive cliffs hundreds of meters high.

Every attacker's nightmare.

The only way to enter here on a large scale is to go through the sky or underground.

For example, the scene when Mrs. Adele was forced to leave here twenty-five years ago drove a large number of kobolds to dig tunnels from the ground directly into the Shadow Valley, or dispatched enough flying soldiers to directly attack the valley stronghold.

From this point of view, the defense of Shadow Valley is far from invincible, but the problem is that this valley does not have any rare resources or important targets.

Except for the terrain, the difficulty of attacking it is completely out of proportion to its benefits!

Especially for the gnolls who want to rush into the mainland from Transia, this ghost place is really useless. They can't spend manpower to attack here and turn it into a sentry. It is too far from Transia.

But on the other hand, if the Transians wanted to stop the Gnolls nearby, then the terrain of this valley would be perfect.

The half-elves living here also understand this truth very well. They did not panic because of the approaching black disaster. Along the way, Adele could find that the valley guards were trained quite well. Although they lacked excellent protective gear,

The war bows and spears in the hands of these vigilant guys are also extraordinary.

Especially when entering the outskirts of the valley, even Lumina, who was the slowest in reconnaissance, discovered that the half-elves were preparing supplies for the war.

They put large bundles of arrows into various outposts, including some psychic arrows made with the help of the shadow elves, as well as things like kerosene and psychic stones that were transported out.

On an open cliff connected by wooden ladders and suspension bridges on the periphery, there were recruits who had just completed close combat training and were practicing shooting in the dark. Several old elves with evil faces were training them.

It is not an exaggeration to describe this valley as "full of martial virtue".

At least in Sister Pomegranate's opinion, the defense system and strength here are not as stretched as they thought before.

In fact, if you think about it, Shadow Valley is the home of a group of gladiators who escaped from the elven city. They are not lacking in strength. Living in the unfriendly area of ​​Barren Mountain for many years has also allowed them to accumulate the power to survive.

wisdom.

They never take the initiative to provoke external enemies, but once a bad guy wants to put some "pressure" on them, these half-elves who have no lazy and elegant nature of the legendary elves will never be merciful.

"Look! There are so many tombstones!"

When entering the core area of ​​Shadow Valley, Xiao Ashina suddenly pointed in a direction and shouted.

Pomegranate and Lumina turned to look.

Good guy!

On the edge of a raised cliff, densely packed tombstones form a cemetery. Roughly counting, there are at least more than 300 stone monuments there. For the elves who live a long life but have difficulty breeding, this is indeed a very scary place.

The number is up.

"That is the cemetery of our heroes."

A half-elf ranger who was leading the way explained in a calm tone:

"Only those who died for the valley are qualified to leave tombstones. Cowards here will only end up with corpses in the wilderness."

"Wow, your traditions really match the brave and fierce Transians."

Lumina commented:

"I think you half-elves with strong martial arts will be able to live very well there."

"But we already have our own home and we have no interest in going anywhere else."

The Elf Ranger frowned and looked at the calculation orb on Lumina's wrist. He could tell that the strange and incomprehensible language Lumina spoke was converted into Elvish language through this thing.

These vampires who followed Adele back are really strange.

Sister Pomegranate stood at the intersection heading to the Elf Village. She turned around and looked around. The valley in front of her was divided into several areas. There were quite a lot of people but they were far from rich. The half-elves here lived in houses made of stones and wood.

Among the houses made, there are some residences similar to "cave dwellings" near the rocks.

she asked:

"We are the entourage accompanying Mrs. Adele to pay homage to her mother. Can we hang around here while Mrs. Adele pays homage to her mother?"

"Generally speaking, no!"

The half-elf captain escorting them looked at the three vampires and said coldly:

“We don’t have the habit of inviting strangers into our homes, but Adele’s mother, Ms. Mona ‘Freehand’ is our eternal leader and eternal hero, so you can also get a little privilege.

You can move freely in our village, but you are not allowed to go anywhere other than the village! If you are caught in a cage because your hands and feet are unclean, it will be embarrassing for both of us, so I hope you will fulfill your responsibilities and will not be punished.

Duty to welcome guests.”

"I'm a hunter!"

Xiao Ashina flapped her wings and floated in the air. She patted the Hammer Guard on her back and said to the half-elf captain in front of her:

"I saw the well-made hippogriff bow in your hands, and I thought it was very cool! Can I buy some bows and arrows from you and give them back to my friends? Or maybe exchange experiences with your hunters?

Anyway, we'll just stay one night.

It’s okay, if you need money, I can pay.”

"Hey, what's the use of asking for money here?"

The captain curled his lips and glanced at Ashina's weapon again. This guy was obviously a knowledgeable pragmatist, so he rolled his eyes and said:

"I myself am the second most powerful hunter in Shadow Valley after Elder Petunia. I would like to appreciate the vampire hunting art, but we are all warriors, and there must be a winner in the competition.

How about this.

Let's compete in archery. If I lose, the yew war bow from my mother will be yours, but if you lose."

"Ha, the cunning half-elf has taken a liking to my Hammer Guard!"

Xiao Weiming put her hands on her hips and laughed in the air:

"It seems that you also know that this gun is very powerful. Okay, okay, let's compete. I'm not afraid of anyone challenging my shooting skills. But I'm curious. Don't all of you elves use bows?"

"Look at this damn place, guest."

The half-elf captain snorted and said:

"We lack everything here. If we want to survive here, the meaningless traditions of the elves must be the first to be discarded.

I'm not a barbarian who hasn't seen muskets, we also have brothers and sisters who use muskets, those weapons that are more destructive at short range are great, the only problem is that the halfling warlord Leok Flywheel from the Hungry Mountains controls

Bullet monopoly.

That bastard will send us a batch of supplies every half month, but it is very expensive, and after the vampires of the Blood Alliance clan set up a defense line at the Black Flame Pass, the troll caravan from Hungry Mountain will not be able to get through.

We have guns, but we are short of bullets.”

"Tell me earlier!"

Xiao Ashina and Lumina looked at each other, and the two clever little guys immediately opened their psychic bags, threw out several boxes of bullets produced by Brother Zhong, and also took out two classic Mosin

Nagant.

Lumina has long been holding back her energy to improve the reputation of Dark Valley, and now she introduces every detail:

"Although we Transians are as poor as you, we already have our own arsenal. The bullets we use are different from those of the halflings, but they are much cheaper than their goods.

You can buy twenty pointed bullets with us for the price of one flaming gold bullet!

Come and give it a try, my fellow elves"

"Compatriots? No! How can we humble half-elves be the compatriots of the proud moon elves?"

The ranger captain of Dark Valley did not refuse the weapon handed over by Lumina. He took a classic alien firearm and made an aiming motion in his hand. While playing with this "new weapon", he complained with some resentment.

:

"In your eyes, we are just humble evil pariahs! But you, the moon elf, are very strange. You don't have the annoying indifference and unreasonable arrogance of other moon elves."

"Huh? Have you ever seen a moon elf?"

Lumina asked:

"Have any moon elves visited you?"

"You're trying to trick me! Ha, what a clumsy attempt."

The ranger captain glanced at Lumina, and under the guidance of Xiao Ashina, he stuffed a pointed bullet into the gun chamber. He aimed at a branch not far away and then pulled the trigger. With a bang, the bullet came out of the chamber and hit accurately.

Target.

"Good! A weapon with such high accuracy can allow recruits to spend their weakest period before mastering the skills of the war bow. And with a little training, civilians can also use it for self-defense. It is easier to use than halfling firearms, although it is less powerful.

A little but not a big deal.

Just start it off."

The Ranger Captain is very satisfied with the firearm in his hand.

He turned around and made a five sign to Ashina-chan and Lumina, and said:

"I want five hundred! If you can bring it to us before the black disaster breaks out, you can become friends of Shadow Valley, and I will tell you everything you want to know. Oh, by the way, not yet

Introduce yourself.

How rude."

The cold ranger captain showed a fleeting smile and introduced himself:

"My name is Meikel, Meikel Youblade, the frontline commander of Dark Valley, and Lisa's husband."

"Hey, Mrs. Bernice will want to see you."

Sister Pomegranate blinked her eyes and whispered:

"Your mother-in-law is in our camp. Mrs. Adele thinks it's better to be prepared before letting Ms. Lisa go to see her. I mean, if you care about your wife, why not follow us to meet her first tonight?
