Chapter 89 Unexpected Support
Even though they did some huge explosions outside the wall, none of them could even put a scratch on it showing how strong their elven wall is.
It was really unpleasant for elves to see someone treating their most precious gift like this. Especially Tisha, who is the main reason this wall exists in this generation of elves.
"Hand over those humans, we will let you go without attacking," The commander-like person of the dark elf army shouted with utter pride which of course pissed off Zenda and Lydia.
The dark elves had a lot of unidentifiable monsters which could possibly harm everyone if they were not inside this magical wall. Some looked intimidating with their big horns or fangs.
"So those explosions came from that monster?" Pointing at a huge monster with a head which looked like a cannon, Nikol pointed out.
It was rather easy for him to tell by how they are placed like cannons. Other monsters were also powerful but what caught most of their attention was this group of monsters and wyverns.
"Zenda, what will you do? If you hand over us, she will let you and your race stay out of this war," Nikol questioned as he was interested to hear about her answer. He used this chance as a test to check her loyalty to their promise. He knew dark elves can not be trusted but he wanted to hear those words from Zenda's mouth.
"Don't shit with me! I won't give them anything," Just by looking at her face, it was rather easy to tell how pissed she was.
Zenda had veins popping out of her head in anger while her whole was red like a ripened apple.
"They killed my girls, and now they want our only hope, I will kill all of them," All the humans around her were happy to see her getting angry for their sake.
Even though it was for Nikol's sake, they were still happy to have another group help them with this war. Nikol was like a chain which held their bond together without letting it break.
Suddenly Zenda looked in the direction of dark elves as she made her choice with a determined face.
"I won't hand over anything, you will be the one to hand over your life so surrender without putting in any futile effort, idiots," Her teasing words were like a trigger for everyone as they started to shout in anger.
By this time, all the wyverns landed as they didn't want to face those spears again, but still, they supported in the close-range fights as wyverns can run.
"Then you can die along with them, Magma, attack them," She ordered looking at the monsters who were already charging their explosive attacks to initiate a second round of explosions.
"I will do this! I will be the one to bring those heads of foolish people who defy our new queen," Looking at her crazy laugh, Alva couldn't help but feel uneasy.
"Everyone get down!" Seeing these monsters attacking, all of them quickly hide behind the wall again.
"What do we do? We can't leave this wall, should we just let them attack?" Lydia questioned as she honestly didn't know what to do.
"When the time comes I will just take their attention, you guys can attack them after that," Nikol thought about doing the same tactic when he first fought with the dark elves.
"No! It should be complete any moment now, they won't stand a chance against our queen when she completes her spell,"
Everyone was surprised by Zenda's confidence as well as they were excited to see what this attack she was talking about.
"So you weren't kidding when you said she's powerful?" Alva actually thought they were joking about it but Nikol took them seriously as he could easily sense how fast her movements are when she first met him.
Meanwhile, Lora the commander of the dark elven army kept striking with explosions hoping that the wall will go down but to her misfortune, this wasn't a normal wall build-up of stones rather it was a super strong wall straight up from heaven.
"Keep attacking it! No matter how strong it is if we keep attacking it will go down,"
Her confidence took a strike seeing the unharmed wall even after all these attacks but still she kept trying.
"Damn it, what's with this absurd wall?" Her frustration was slowly building up as she thought about sending wyverns back but suddenly unexpected happened.
The whole forest started to tremble like an earthquake was happening. All the monsters in the forest felt this disturbance as they quickly moved to a safe place.
"What's happening?" Lora questioned with fear.
The dark elves started to panic thinking it was something dangerous but they didn't know it was actually more than that.
Suddenly, the trees in the wall that were aligned with each other started to move as if they were alive. Their roots started to grow rather quickly while whole branches extended in the direction of the dark elf army.
"Everyone attack those roots! Don't let them get close to us," Lora ordered while freaking out a little. For a moment she thought about retreating but she knew if she fail here, her reputation among the ranks would take a huge hit.
Even though everyone heard her orders, most of them were glued to the earth in fear but the truth is they couldn't move because the roots of the trees were holding their legs in a rather tight grip.
"Damn it! Let me go," Even though they stabbed the root and cut them trying to escape from this disaster it grew back more and more making their movements even harder.
Zenda was observing all these with a happy face as she was full confidence about it.
"This is?" Lydia was surprised.
"Nature magic, our queen is the only being that possesses this type of magic," She had pride on her face while explaining this.
"That's so cool!" She felt happy to see Nikol was honestly impressed by their powers.
"These roots are from these trees, she's the only one who can control them," Zenda pointed at the magical wall.
"For one hour she can control the movements of these trees as much as she wants but it has huge drawbacks," Her voice got serious all of a sudden.
"It has a huge incarnation time and she can only use this once a month, normally we use this for a festival but this is the first time we used it to harm someone,"
While she was explaining all this, all the dark elves kept attacking the roots that were trying to bind them. Specially Lora who was using her monster to cut these roots. This attack proved that she was the one who controlled these monsters as all of them tried to help her abandoning their riders.
Even though it was hard for them to cut them, unlike the tree branches it was still manageable to cut roots. After putting in their full effort some of them successfully managed to cut them.
"Should we go and attack now?" Seeing them struggling, Nikol and his group thought this was the best time to attack them but Zenda just nodded her head in disagreement.
"We don't have to, from the moment they entered our queen's field they are bound to fail, so let's just wait,"
Seeing everything happening in front of them, none had doubts about it.
It went on for a few minutes until a root came in the direction of Zenda and Nikol like it was trying to attack but none of them was afraid since they believed in Tisha.
"Zenda, can you hear me?" Suddenly they heard the familiar voice of Tisha. It felt more like a telephone call for them rather than a normal speaker as it came from a thick tube-like root.
"Yes, my queen," with respect in her voice, Zenda answered while bowing her head a little.
"Tell me, who's their leader? We will take her hostage," Since she wasn't on the battlefield she had no idea but still, she was able to sense them with the help of sensory nerves.
Zenda quickly pointed at Lora without any hesitation. Nikol also looked at everything with interest.
"Ok," They heard the voice of Tisha while the roots that were talking to them went back quickly.
It didn't even take a few minutes for her to take action as suddenly, they heard the screaming sound of a few dark elves.
"Let me go, dumb tree!" Lora was entangled in a mess of roots while her body was getting dragged into the kingdom. She kept screaming as she didn't expect something like this to happen.
"Protect her! Don't let them take her away, " Seeing their leader getting dragged they quickly acted as everyone quickly tried to attack those roots but Nikol and Zenda didn't allow it as a rain of arrows fell on them killing a few of them in the process.
"Ahhhh~ Don't let them take her away," One who acted as the right hand to Lora shouted but it was too late for them as she already got captured by Nikol and the team.
They didn't expect this turn of events but now that their only commander got captured, they had no idea what to do.
"Fall back, retreat,"
"Don't get killed, fall back," Everyone shouted as they started to run in various directions showing how unorganized they are.
Everyone inside the wall sighed seeing their enemy running. If they didn't have this strong wall supporting them even if Nikol and his group helped, they would have suffered heavy casualties.
"We won! Everyone, we won! I'm glad everyone survived," All the elves and humans started to celebrate in joy without any discrimination but Zenda, Nikol and Lydia knew this was just the begging of the war.
