Divine Flame Crystal

Chapter 154 Rescue from Starfall

Charles found that they were like hedgehogs. Even when they died, they would burn up their energy and rush into the group of night elves and choose to detonate themselves. Such a cruel way of fighting made Charles, who was used to blood and killing, twitch his eyes.

He hastily ordered the night elves to stay away from the mercenary group, and only use bows and magic for long-range attacks, focusing on besieging them and wearing down their will.

The mercenary group had a brief respite. Now they were all injured and seriously exhausted. They could only barely stay alive by relying on a large amount of expensive potions and sophisticated equipment. The night elves were a natural fighting race. Their combat power was simply too strong.

Although they have been breaking out in the direction of the base, the progress is slow. If they continue like this, they will be wiped out. Mo looked at the sun about to sink below the horizon, with despair in his eyes. At this moment, he suddenly felt a little sorry for Xingluo and for these brothers who were born and died with him. This is a place that makes him feel as warm as home, but he failed to protect his home.

Tiffany also looked into the distance, not knowing what she was thinking. Suddenly, she seemed to go crazy, contrary to her usual quiet appearance, and shouted to the sky, "Xingluo! You bastard, we'll meet again if we're lucky!"

The sharp sound pierced through the dense forest and traveled far away, startling many birds in the distance.

Charles looked at the people who were still resisting, laughed grimly, and slowed down his attack. "Night is coming soon. Let's take a break and prepare to defeat them in one fell swoop."

Mo felt the intensity of arrows and magic dropped suddenly, but he did not feel relieved at all. Instead, he felt a sense of urgency as if a storm was about to come. This was the calm before the storm. "I don't know if I can survive tonight."

Finally, night fell, and Charles' attack order was issued. The night elves no longer used bows and magic, but took out daggers and swords. Close combat was their talent, and magic and bows and arrows were what the forest elves were good at. They charged towards the Sky City Mercenary Group. The night elves at night were terrible. They were like the darlings of the night, and their overall strength soared rapidly.

Mo looked at the peripheral members falling one by one, his eyes red, but now he was exhausted. Although a large amount of precious potions replenished his consumption like water, such a long and high-intensity battle made it difficult for him to lift his weapon. Just when everyone was in despair, patches of green fluorescence lit up in the distance.

The emerald green light was like a bright lamp illuminating the night, full of beauty and a hazy brilliance. Charles was the first to notice it. He hurriedly ordered to stop the attack and to withdraw the troops. Many members who were ready to self-destruct and die together also stopped and looked at the emerald green all over the mountains in the distance.

At this moment, a chubby figure emerged from the emerald light. He looked a little funny, but he walked very lightly. He took a few steps forward and saw the broken limbs on the ground. His eyes suddenly turned red, and he looked in the direction of the night elves. His face gradually twisted, and he said to the emerald light behind him: "Kill them all."

As soon as Charles saw the emerald green light, he felt something was wrong, so when the fat figure appeared, he hurriedly sneaked away under the cover of night, but the others did not react as quickly as Charles.

Mo and the others finally saw the chubby figure. It was Xingluo who had disappeared for more than a month. Tiffany's eyes were wet at first, and then she covered her mouth with her white hands and laughed foolishly, but her voice was slightly choked, and it was unclear whether she was crying or laughing.

Xingluo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Mo and the others were all there. It was not convenient to reminisce about the past at this time. He wanted to make those night elves who dared to bully the Sky City mercenary team while he was away pay a heavy price.

At this time, a group of elves with fair skin, pointed ears and tall stature walked out. It turned out that they were the mortal enemies of the night elves. No one knew why they appeared here with Xingluo. When the mortal enemies met, they started fighting without Xingluo saying much.

Xingluo was not idle either. With a wave of his hand, four huge black holes appeared and were thrown from all directions towards the direction where the night elves were the most numerous.

The tearing force generated by the black hole tore the night elf team into pieces. The blood was sucked into the black hole before it even hit the ground. The black holes in four directions made it impossible for the night elves to escape. Coupled with the magic and bows and arrows of the forest elves, the night elves were soon slaughtered, with only a few high-level professionals left to resist.

Surrounded by thousands of forest elves, the night elves were soon captured. It was Xingluo who ordered them to leave some alive, otherwise they would have been eaten alive by the people who hated them. Xingluo walked over, looked at them and said, "Where is your leader? How did he find this place?"

"I don't know!" The night elf spat out a mouthful of blood foam.

Xingluo snorted coldly, and a voice as cold as the abyss came out. It was obvious that this group of night elves had touched Xingluo's reverse scale. "Take them back to the base first. There are many ways to make them talk."

At this time, a petite but extremely beautiful girl, who seemed to embody the aura of the entire forest, came out boundingly. She ran to Xingluo's side, shook Xingluo's arm, and made a pleasant and ethereal voice: "Big brother, I want to see the mercenary group's base, please take me there quickly."

The corners of Xingluo's eyes twitched. He had already surrendered to this little girl who had been pestering him all the way, but he didn't dare to be mean to her. After all, there were always some powerful auras around him that were always locking onto him, and several thousand forest elves were also staring at him.

Ahem, okay, let's go now." Xingluo said helplessly.

But before that, Xingluo said hello to Mo and the others, and used his mental power to cover the past and check the situation of the mercenary group. He thought secretly: "Fortunately, we arrived in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

Mo also felt as if he was in another world after the fight just now. Looking at the mighty team behind him, he sighed, "There were 500 people when we came here, and there were almost 5000 people when we left."

When Xingluo came over, Tiffany was about to step forward, but she saw that the beautiful elf had gone ahead of her. Then she couldn't help but stop, a trace of inexplicable emotion flashed across her eyes, and then she smiled slightly and said in a voice that only she could hear, "It's good that he can come back."

On the way back, Xingluo saw another group of people, the red-bearded dwarves brought by Xi. When Xi saw Xingluo, he jumped into his arms in two jumps, squeezed out a comfortable position, and swept him twice with his tail, making Xingluo feel itchy.

Xi said nothing, and Xingluo asked nothing, but just asked the red-bearded dwarves to return. The red-bearded dwarves were also a little excited to see Xingluo. After all, in human society, Xingluo was the one they trusted the most.

The mercenary group's base was very spacious, and it did not seem crowded even with thousands of people. Xingluo asked Mo to arrange these more than 4000 forest elves in a forest along the river. Most of the forest elves knew life magic, so building a tree house was naturally a piece of cake for them. It only took them one night to build it. A large and magnificent tree house that looked like it was carved by a master of art added a lot of color to the Sky City base.

If you ask what the forest elves are best at, it must be artistic creation. Their understanding of life and perception of nature make their artistic attainments among the best in the entire continent.

"Captain, you are finally back. I heard from the dean that you were going to the ruins for training. Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

“That’s right. We were so worried.”

"People in the group often talk about you."

Xingluo looked around and hesitated for a moment. He found that the previous battle had reduced the number of mercenaries. He gritted his teeth secretly and said, "These dark elves will pay the price sooner or later."

"I didn't expect you missed me so much. It's not in vain that I took care of you." Xingluo climbed up the pole.

"Oh, Mo, make arrangements for the forest elves to join us." Xingluo thought to himself, "Since we have already made a personal grudge with the night elves, the addition of the forest elves will undoubtedly be a great help. However, there are too few humans in their current mercenary group, so it seems that we need to recruit more."

"Don't worry." Mo replied in silence. If Xingluo hadn't come back in time yesterday, who knows how many brothers would have come back here and still be able to talk and laugh. It was all his fault. With such a powerful intelligence organization, he still put the mercenary group into an irreparable situation. Self-blame was like a claw from the abyss, pulling him mercilessly and making him more silent. Xingluo's words were like nectar, which made him completely relieved. He no longer fell into the quagmire of regret, but got busy for the forest elves to join.

"Wow, Captain, where did you find so many handsome men and beautiful women?"

"Yes, I saw an elf sister, she is very beautiful."

Everyone started asking questions about Xingluo, which helped to dispel the gloom that had enveloped everyone's hearts yesterday.

"Of course they were found during this period. Your captain is so wise and powerful, haha." Xingluo caught a glimpse of the beautiful elves walking towards him and quickly shut up. He didn't want to be despised by those beauties.

The elves saw Xingluo being surrounded in the middle from afar and stopped, standing straight with their long legs. They seemed a little hesitant and did not move forward.

Xingluo saw this scene and sighed inwardly, "You all should go and get busy, don't hang around me here, is the amount of training too little, do I need to give you some more?"

When everyone heard Xingluo's words, they hurried away. They really loved and hated this mercenary group. The treatment was really high, and the training was really hard, almost catching up with the army. You know, they were all high-level professionals who lived a life of luxury before, and they were treated like nobles outside, but in the mercenary group, they were simply treated as soldiers. But they didn't have any complaints, especially yesterday. If it weren't for the usual brutal training, they might have become the nutrients of this land.

"Did you guys sleep well? Is there anything you need me to coordinate or handle?" Xingluo turned and walked towards the elf.
