Broad World

Chapter 676: Surface

Seeing the light from the surface, dark elf warriors reacted very differently than human soldiers. Some of them showed confusion, while others showed fear, as if that ray of light was the god of death who came to take their lives, and would rush over to snatch everyone's soul away at any time.

But it's no wonder that in order to maintain her brutal rule, Rose kept instilling in all the dark elves how terrible the surface is, especially the effect of the sun being distorted the most.

In the minds of most dark elves, the surface of the earth can almost be equated with the bottomless abyss where demons live. A huge burning fireball is always roasting the earth, and all surface creatures live in a purgatory-like environment. It is said that This is Rose's punishment for those treacherous goblins.

How could it be possible for the dark elves not to be afraid under such a description, not to mention that most of them were forced to do nothing, but they would not choose to stay here if they had a second way to survive.

In the wilderness of the Underdark region, a dozen people cannot survive. Food, water, and monsters hidden in the darkness, these things are like nooses hanging around the neck, and can kill a person at any time. Looking at the choices of the subterranean gnomes, they have hundreds of people who all want to find someone to rely on, let alone two or three hundred dark elf fighters. (In other words, it is a miracle that Drizzt was able to live alone in the dangerous Underdark for several years without dying.)

Antleb obviously noticed this situation, and hurried over to ask for instructions in a low voice: "Look... do you want everyone to stand by here and wait until after dark? I'm a little worried that some guys will be unbearable and mutiny."

To be honest, his worries were not unreasonable. You must know that the situation of the dark elf fighters is not very stable now, and some even started talking nonsense, refusing to take a step forward. They've apparently become convinced of the distorted rumors that once exposed to the sun, they will immediately taste endless pain.

See this happening. Henry couldn't help but frowned and thought about it for a few minutes, but in the end he narrowed his eyes and ordered coldly: "No need, everyone who dares to resist will be stunned, and I will drag them all to the sun for a while. They have a deep understanding of what kind of world the surface is like."

After hearing this order, Antleb couldn't help being clever, and immediately gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously: "Understood, I'll do it right away."

"Remember. Those guys who made the most noise are monitored. If they still maintain this attitude after a week, give them all to me..." Shuo Ze Henry raised his finger and stroked his neck, and the following words were completely Needless to say, anyone with normal intelligence can understand.

Because he knew very well that the dark elves who stubbornly believed that the surface of the earth was bad were more likely to be Rose's loyal followers. They must be eradicated as soon as possible, otherwise they would be the source of disaster.

"Please rest assured, I promise to wipe out all their original beliefs within half a month." After speaking, Antleb bowed slightly. Resolutely began to command the war trolls, and brutally suppressed those troublesome dark elf fighters. One of the guys who resisted the most was dismembered and eaten on the spot, instantly shocking everyone.

The bloody reality once again told what would happen to these dark elves who disobeyed their orders. Come down quickly one by one. After all, no matter how terrifying the legend on the surface is, it is a hundred times better than being dismembered immediately, so they all lowered their heads and followed the team without saying a word, with expressions like a group of prisoners being escorted to the execution ground.

Viconia glanced at her compatriots with disdain, walked over and reminded in a low voice: "Before basking in the sun, I think you should let everyone take off the dark elf equipment, otherwise once exposed to the sun , it will turn into powder in a short time."

"That's right. At the same time, it can also reduce the chances of these guys launching a rebellion." Henry nodded slightly, and then gave Antleb another order.

After a few minutes, everyone wearing dark elf magic armor, weapons, cloaks and boots took off and put them on the truck. Only hundreds of human soldiers in steel armor remained armed. They only wore close-fitting clothing, and walked out slowly along the opening of the tunnel with bare hands.

moment!

White sunlight fell from the sky, stinging everyone's eyes.

Whether it was a human, a subterranean gnome, or a dark elf, they all let out a scream and knelt on the ground while weeping. While squinting his eyes, he observed the daylight on the surface. They have lived in the dark for too long, and it will take them a while to re-acclimate to this light-filled surface.

Of course, the dark elves need a longer time, maybe a year, maybe ten years. The curse on them is not a joke. Once the dark skin is exposed to the sun for more than half an hour, it may cause shock.

"Is this the sun?" Solaufen murmured. Protected by magic. He was slightly better than most of the dark elves, and could even endure the dizziness and tingling sensation caused by the sun shining on his body. He raised his neck and tried hard to observe the huge fireball above his head.

Henry glanced at the wailing scene everywhere, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, that is the sun, which brings light and heat to this world. How is it, do you feel uncomfortable?"

"Yes, I have a splitting headache now, as if every ray of light is like a needle, stinging my eyes and skin." After speaking, Solaufen couldn't bear such a strong direct light anymore, and quickly retreated to the shadow of the cave entrance middle. There was a bitter smile on his face, which seemed a little sarcastic and a little self-deprecating.

"This is a curse, a curse from the lord of the elves. Don't worry, as long as you get used to it for a while, it will get better. Remember to wear a thicker cloak when you go out during the day. It will make you feel better." Henry gave seriously Out of suggestions.

Solaufen sighed slightly, and spread his hands helplessly: "Thank you, please don't worry, I will try my best to adapt to all this. Compared with the torture from the heart in the ground, this pain is nothing. In addition, your last Let’s go and see other people, I feel that many dark elf fighters have fainted.”

Following the direction of his fingers, more than twenty dark elves have already passed out with foam at the mouth, and their bodies are still withdrawing intermittently, like having epilepsy. If some rescue measures are taken, I am afraid that people will really die after a while.

"Antleb, come here today and let all the dark elves return to the cave to rest." Henry whispered. He is very clear that it is enough to do this for the first time, and there is no need to kill people.

"Yes." Antleb responded, and immediately turned around and waved.

Seeing this action, all the dark elf fighters immediately dragged the immobile compatriots around them with relief, and ran back into the cave. That speed is faster than a rabbit. Most of them looked at the humans outside who had returned to normal with fearful eyes, and they didn't understand why the other party didn't show any pain at all.

After more than ten minutes, the subterranean gnomes also began to gradually adapt to the surrounding light. Those young guys caught a few squirrels and rabbits with their agility, and gathered together to chat about something. Everything looked so Natural and peaceful.

However, Henry obviously had no time to waste, and immediately took out a map from the dimension bag, and compared the surrounding scenery to identify the direction. Obviously, this place is not around the wood elf barracks, but another surface exit. A faint fishy smell can be felt from the strong wind, and this place should not be far from the sea.

It wasn't long before he spotted some decomposing bodies lying around the road in the distance. There are at least hundreds of them, of which humans account for the vast majority, and there are also a small number of elves and halflings. At the end of the road was a section of city wall blackened by thick smoke. The huge city gate seemed to have been abandoned, and a strong rotten smell emanated from inside.

"Don't look, that's the human city destroyed by Uster Nassar's army—Velun." Solaufen said in a sad tone. He had personally participated in the massacre, so it was clear that there was nothing alive in it except corpses.

Henry visually measured the distance between the passage connecting the Underdark and the city wall. There was an expression of sudden realization on his face: "No wonder the city fell so quickly. It turned out that a surprise attack was launched. I think this passage was also opened with magic?"

Solaufin nodded slightly in pain: "Yes, the passage opened by twenty mages to accommodate thousands of dark elf troops passed through. The high-ranking priestess who led the team launched an attack at midnight, only Waylon fell in half an hour, followed by frenzied killings, the elderly, children, women, animals, livestock, and finally except for a small number of slaves. All others were brutally killed."

"Don't blame yourself too much, this is not your fault, and we have already completed revenge for those wronged souls." After speaking, Henry patted Solaufen on the shoulder comfortingly.

Now that the location is determined, the next step is to clean up. Antleb directed the human soldiers and subterranean dwarves to drag out the corpses near the city gate, burn them, and bury them. In the evening, they sorted out a lot of clean houses for living. Finally, a bonfire was lit, and some iron pots were found to cook soup.

More than 10,000 Ross beasts were driven to the vicinity of the forest. Although the leaves and weeds are already withered and yellow at this time, these docile livestock are not picky eaters, and are enjoying their first meal on the surface.

After everything was settled, Henry took a deep breath and said to his teammates: "Let's go, it's time for us to hit the road. First go to the camp of the wood elves to see if there is any new news, and then return directly to the north Askatra, snatch back the elf's holy object, the Lyan's Lamp, and find Joan Irenicus to settle the score."

"Well said, brother. It's time to let this bastard see how good we are." Apodel shook his fist fiercely into the air, venting the resentment in his heart.

Jasila glanced at the son of Baal beside him very worriedly, and asked nervously, "You mean... the moment to decide the fate is coming?"

"No, not yet, this is just a trial. You should still have a few months to get along, so it's best to say and do as soon as possible, and don't leave any regrets." Henry said meaningfully He glanced at the two of them, and then took the lead towards the west.
