However, since there was nothing special about them, just a sea of trees all around, and there were no iconic hills or anything like that, they were now simply heading straight in the direction marked on the map.
Unlike the situation on the vampire side, the elves are relatively sparsely populated and the number of adventurers is also relatively limited, so when dealing with the abyss, they adopted the method of having regular troops take over in full.
With the center of the abyss as the center, a certain area around it will be designated as a no-man's land, and entry is prohibited without permission. The stronger beasts and monsters in the area will also be expelled or cleared out regularly to prevent the abyss wave from gaining reinforcements after breaking through the defense line.
At this time, Eve and the others should be in an uninhabited area.
"Anyway, let's get ready. If there are any signals, just follow them."
After thinking for a moment, Eve continued to advise.
Although she had spoken to Elizabeth once last night and told her mother that she was about to go to the Moss Abyss defense line, she didn't know whether her mother had conveyed the message to the elves, so it was better to be careful not to cause any misunderstandings during the period.
Eve would be very upset if she was accidentally mistaken for a follower of the devil.
After the group flew for a while, an arrow suddenly shot up into the sky in front of them, and then a dazzling light burst out in the air. It seemed that their figures were noticed by the guards outside the defense line.
In order to avoid misunderstanding, the group stayed in the air after seeing the flare, waiting for the people below to fly up to see them. Eve also took this opportunity to change her casual clothes into a more formal dress.
Soon, a figure in light armor flew from the forest below to Eve and the others.
Seeing that Eve and her companions were obviously not elves, the newcomers subconsciously regarded them as outsiders who had strayed in. After all, it was very easy to lose track of east, west, south and north in the Elf Forest. Even with a map, one could still go in the wrong direction. It was not impossible for such a thing to happen.
"Wait a moment, the elves' abyssal defense line is ahead. You have mistakenly entered the uninhabited area outside the defense line. Please return the way you came, or we can use the teleportation array to send you to another city."
Hmm... he didn't recognize me, Eve thought to herself as she looked at the elf in front of her. She was clearly a standard silver-haired, red-eyed loli with a flat body, but if she turned into a vampire, they would be able to tell her identity at a glance. There was nothing she could do but take out the token.
Thinking of this, Eve reached into the demiplane and took out the token made of the World Tree that Elizabeth had given her.
Seeing Eve's actions, the elves in front of her subconsciously wanted to be on guard, but when they saw the token Eve took out, they suddenly opened their eyes wide in surprise.
"I am Eve Lesembra, the vampire princess. I have come to destroy the Moss Abyss according to the agreement between the vampires and the elves. Take us to the abyss defense line."
"Yes!"
There was no need to directly verify the authenticity of the token. As an elf born from the fruit of the World Tree, the sense of closeness from the token already told her the answer.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, the Abyss Defense Line is of great importance. I was a little rude just now."
"It doesn't matter. After all, the Abyss cannot afford to lose anything. I won't care. Take us to the defense line."
"plz follow me."
As he spoke, the elf in front of him took Eve and the others and flew down to the forest below.
"Captain Fina, are you okay? Was it someone who walked in by mistake?"
Seeing the elves flying down with Eve and the others, no fighting broke out, and several elven girls left their hiding places.
"cough."
After coughing lightly to silence their words, the elf named Fina immediately gave the order.
"This is Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Blood Clan. She has come to support us according to the agreement between the two clans. She is preparing to activate the teleportation array to send us to the defense line."
"Yes!"
When the elf girls heard Fina say that the person next to her was the princess of the clan, they were startled and immediately adjusted the magic circle.
Just like that, a few minutes later.
"Report! The magic circle has been adjusted and can be activated at any time."
"Okay, please follow me, Your Highness."
As she spoke, Fina stood in the magic circle with a few others, and disappeared from the spot in the light of the teleportation activation.
After they left...
"Phew, I was scared to death."
Seeing the figures of several people disappear into the teleportation array, an elf girl breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yeah, why would Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Blood Clan come here suddenly?"
After hearing her complaints, the other elf girls also echoed her.
"I heard Captain Fina say it was based on an agreement between the two tribes? Have you heard of that?"
"Hmm...I don't think so. Maybe it was decided recently?"
After tilting her head and thinking for a while, an elf girl shook her head.
"correct!"
However, the other elf girl seemed to remember something and suddenly clapped her hands, scaring the others.
"There seems to be some strange activity on the defense line recently. I heard they're preparing for a large-scale evacuation. Could this be the reason?"
"Eh? A large-scale evacuation of the defense line? What about the Abyss? We can't just leave it there."
"Hmm... I don't know. Maybe there's some new way to defend the Abyss?"
After thinking about it, they really couldn't figure out how to take over from them to continue defending the abyss.
"It would be great if it were true. I want to go back and have a good rest for a while."
With a long sigh, an elf girl said somewhat frustratedly.
"yes…"
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting increasingly distorted, the elf who was the deputy captain among the group quickly clapped his hands and interrupted the discouraging words of several people.
"Alright, forget about all this nonsense. Without us defending the Abyss, no one else can live in peace. Let's go and continue our patrol."
"Yes~ We were just talking~"
§ 53 A Few Things About the Abyssal Defense Line (Part 1) [Fifth Update]
Elves, inside the Moss Abyss Defense Line stronghold.
The abyss is in a calm period at this time, so most of the troops stationed here are in preparation and training. However, a lot of people are arranged at the stronghold to observe the movements of the abyss from all directions at all times. Once there is any unusual movement, the entire army will immediately be on alert.
A large number of magic props were neatly placed on the city wall so that they could be used at any time.
The originally boundless Elf Forest has also been artificially cleared to create a large open space around it. The abyss is surrounded by a complete wasteland, and any movement cannot escape the eyes of the sentinels.
At this time, inside the stronghold, Eve and others, led by Fina, had met the white elf Melris, who was stationed in this stronghold and was responsible for commanding the overall situation.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness Eve, you arrived earlier than we expected, so I wasn't able to notify all the patrol teams outside in time."
After letting Fina return to the periphery to continue patrolling, Melris said to Eve with an apologetic look.
"It's okay. I just informed you a little too late. It's not your fault."
What Eve said here was indeed the truth. After all, she had just mentioned to Elizabeth during a call last night that she was going to Moss Abyss to take a look. Considering that her mother needed to notify the elves and the time required to convey the order, it was normal that she could not convey the whole message.
Seeing that Melris wanted to say something else, Eve directly changed the subject to business.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. How's the situation here? When do you plan to officially eradicate this abyss?"
"This defense line is ready for evacuation at any time, but Lady Merceris said it will take her three days to finish her business and arrive here, so you may have to wait a little longer. Do you plan to stay here or use the teleportation array to reach the city?"
"Hmm...is there a dangerous area with monsters a little further northeast?"
After thinking about Melreese's suggestion, Eve decided to make up option C on her own.
"Eh? That's right. That dangerous place is located on the border between the elves and the beastmen. It would take about a day to fly there. Princess, are you going there?"
After recalling the distance from the Warcraft Danger Zone to this stronghold, Melris asked.
"Well, I'm going to take this opportunity to go over there and take a look. There's something related to her and I want to see if there are any clues."
Eve said as she pointed at the Burial Butterfly behind her.
As for what she wanted to ask, it was naturally about the magic of transformation. That's right, after the Quetzalcoatl, another poor monster was about to be in trouble.
"I'll be back in about two days. By the way, is there any way to contact Her Majesty the Mother of Elves? That way, I won't be there when Her Majesty arrives early."
Although people like the Queen of Blood and the Mother of Elves usually estimate the matters at hand very accurately and say that it will take a few days to resolve, she still needs contact information just in case. Otherwise, it would be a bit subtle to let the head of a clan wait for her, a princess, and it would seem that she does not respect the other party very much.
By the way, except for the Beast King, that guy is totally incapable of doing this kind of thing. He directly hands over most matters to his subordinates, and at most he will pay personal attention to major events. Usually he just likes to beat people with his fists, which is why he chose to stay at the Far West Front.
The relationship between the three strongest people on the continent is roughly like this: the Beast King fights in the front, the Mother of Elves sits in the center, the Blood Queen guards the rear and the firefighters are there.
"Yes, please wait a moment."
As he spoke, Melris took out a communication crystal from his desk.
"If Lady Merceris were to arrive early, I would have informed you immediately."
"Okay, then I'll leave first. See you in two days."
Just like that, since the Mother of Elves is currently busy, Eve's destination is temporarily changed to the Warcraft Danger Zone. Our Quetzalcoatl will soon have a companion, which refers to someone breaking into your home for no reason, asking you a bunch of random questions, and then leaving. Oh, and there's also some magic block compensation.
That night, in the Elf Forest, Eve and her friends had already set up camp and were making dinner while chatting casually.
Since they were in a hurry this time, they didn't appreciate the surrounding scenery much during the day, but kept rushing on their way. However, they got a little bored looking at the unchanging green sea of trees below, so they stopped to rest for a night and continue tomorrow.
"Lord Brave."
"Ok?"
"It seems that compared to the vampires and elves, the human race is much less vigilant about the abyss."
After seeing how wary the vampires and elves were of the abyss, and then looking back at the human race, Istina couldn't help but wonder if they were facing the same thing.
It is no exaggeration to say that the abyss surrounded by the fortress city on the human side has become a well-known leveling spot, and many adventurers choose to go there to train their skills.
But as the number of people increases, there will naturally be many unskilled adventurers who will die due to various accidents. Over time, the abyss has swallowed up countless corpses that could have been used as soldiers, but there has never been any unusual movement there. This apparent calmness makes Istina feel cold behind her back.
The abyss of the human race is like an extremely patient hunter, quietly lurking in the shadows. Unless it is sure of a one-shot kill, it will just keep watching the unsuspecting prey walk step by step towards death.
Unlike the vampires and elves who try to stay as far away from the abyss as possible in densely populated areas, the human race has even built a densely populated satellite city next to the fortress city. Many people in it are ordinary people with little combat power. Once the fortress is lost, they will be the first to face the impact of the abyss waves.
Even the fortress city itself is already in name only, with no regular army stationed in it. If the abyss wave really breaks out, it may be breached in an instant, and then the abyss wave will completely erupt among the human race.
"There's nothing we can do. After all, the human race's heritage has been lost so severely that even the vampires who participated in the war against the demon god are considered to be the descendants of the demon god, not to mention the secrets of the abyss."
Eve shrugged helplessly and said.
"Honestly, I suspect that quite a few Demon God followers have infiltrated the human race. Apart from anything else, the Land of Wealth and the Land of Lawlessness are completely like-minded with those rats."
"Well, that's true."
After hearing Eve's complaints, and thinking about the personalities of the people in those two places and her own personal experiences, Istina could only completely agree with Eve's conclusion.
After all, these two places regard strength as everything and don't care about the means, while the other regards money as everything and doesn't care whether they have life to spend it or not. They are simply good brothers with the devil's believers.
§ 54 A Few Things About the Abyssal Defense Line (Part 2)
"In short, it all depends on their own luck, and even if we really remind them, it may not have any effect."
Eve said as she added a few more pieces of firewood to the campfire in front of her.
"Why? The threat of the Abyss is so great, it's impossible for them to remain indifferent after learning about it."
"Of course it's for profit."
After saying that, Eve began to comb Istina's hair little by little.
"Firstly, as a renowned leveling location within the Traveler Country, the fortress city would suffer enormous losses if it were shut down. Many people who rely on it for a living would need to relocate. Not counting the adventurers, the sheer number of people in the satellite city alone would be disastrous."
Then other aspects were analyzed.
"Secondly, the Kingdom of Wealth has a deep presence there. After all, a place like this needs a staggering amount of weapons, armor, medicine, and food. So they're definitely going to try to stop us. Furthermore, considering they might be involved with the Demon God's followers, they're more likely to intervene."
Eve continued talking while putting the food in the pot on a plate.
"Finally, there's the issue of the army. Tina also saw the situation on the elven defense line today. Without the Abyssal Tide, these troops are completely idle. If the Traveler Country were to support such an army alone, it would probably be emptied out in no time. They naturally can't do it, and letting others support such an elite army in their own country is even more impossible. After all, how can you let others sleep soundly beside your bed?"
In the end, Eve completely rejected Istina's idea.
"And it's completely useless to say this, after all, we have no evidence to support what we are saying."
Eve pointed at herself as she spoke.
