Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 181 Elf Queen
In the lonely valley, there is a small palace with a lot of historical traces. Elf messengers in silver armor flow in and out like water.

Most of the palace has collapsed, and only the other half can be clearly seen to have been newly repaired in a modern style.

The palace was not as luxurious as imagined, but rather extremely simple. There was a long table covered with a red cloth with gold lace.

Several handsome elves wearing exquisite leather armor were discussing something around a long table.

Among them was the heroic Florina, wearing silver armor.

Ashe Whisperwind is the elven queen of the Whisperwind tribe. This high elf, whose exact age is unknown, still has a face as white and tender as a baby's, and such a beautiful appearance that even the stars in the sky would seem a little dim here.

Each strand of hair looks like golden thread falling down, so eye-catching.

But now Queen Ashe frowned her beautiful eyebrows and looked very worried.

"Queen, Shadow Forest has been lost, the tree people suffered heavy losses, and most of them have retreated back to Broken City."

The news brought by an elf messenger cast a shadow over the hearts of everyone present.

Just a month ago, a coalition force that appeared out of nowhere attacked the Whispering Wind Tribe, catching them off guard.

Fortunately, relying on the natural advantages of Lonely Valley, they were able to repel the coalition forces in the Shadow Forest, ten miles away from the tribe.

Lonely Valley is located in a valley. The Whispering Wind Tribe is built on a cliff. A deep mountain stream lies in front of them. There is only a silver bridge that has been built for who knows how many years, connecting them to a canyon in the middle of the opposite low mountain.

Walking through this canyon and outward, you will see a city wall that is about ten feet high and made entirely of marble.

Looking out from the city wall, there was a pitch-black forest on the distant plain. The trees in it were so thick that not a single ray of light could penetrate through the dense treetops.

Of course, some people say that the reason why the light cannot penetrate is because the forest has been cast into a spell by a skilled magician.

But no matter what the reason is, the reality is that if people from outside want to come in, they have to pass through this deep forest, unless they directly climb the cliffs that are hundreds of feet high.

And this forest is the Shadow Forest, where live the Tree People and other various magical creatures.

The Whisperwind Tribe had been on good terms with them for a long time, so this time the enemy's attack was taken advantage of by the Tree People.

Logically speaking, even if several thousand troops broke into this dark forest, it would be like throwing a stone into a lake, with no ripples at all.

It was the first barrier on which the Yufeng tribe relied for survival, but after holding out for so long, it was finally lost.

There were many dark elf priests, and they had gathered many wilderness natives. No matter how elite the tribal warriors were, or how much help the tree people gave, it would be of no avail.

The fall is really just a matter of time.

"Folina, have you contacted your people?"

Ashe cast her golden eyes towards Florina beside her, with a hint of expectation on her face.

"We just contacted them yesterday, but after I only informed them of the situation here, the teleportation magic failed."

Florina crossed her hands on the table, looking a little unhappy.

"I am now 100% certain that these drow elves definitely have magic that can block spells such as teleportation."

"That's why I couldn't contact my soldiers."

Ever since she came here and figured out everything, Florina immediately prepared to contact Fujiro to ask him to go north, but the transmission stone seemed to be ineffective, and she was not able to contact him successfully until yesterday.

It's a pity that it was scrapped after just a few words.

In fact, Florina still had some guesses that she hadn't said. If the other side really had spells or magical equipment that could block communication magic, then why was she able to contact again yesterday?
Instead of blocking her all the time?
A qualified commander would not make such a mistake.

There are too many questionable points here.

But she didn't say these things. After all, they were already at a disadvantage, so she tried not to say anything that would affect morale. "It's good that we have made contact. As long as we hold on until your soldiers arrive, the crisis of the Whisperwind Tribe will be resolved."

Hearing this, Ashe breathed a sigh of relief.

It is roughly estimated that the other side has nearly 30,000 fresh troops, and there are dozens of spellcasters.

Let’s look at the Yufeng tribe.

At most, they could only muster three thousand warriors, and there were only a handful of spellcasters.

The reason they have been able to hold out until now is because of the tree people who have mastered tree magic and are able to block the enemy in the Shadow Forest.

But now Shadow Forest has fallen, and the last barrier is the broken city.

If even this broken city is breached, then the Whisperwind Tribe will become the back garden of these drow elves, allowing them to come and go as they please.

woohoo~
Just then, a low and melodious horn sound came from afar.

This is the horn sound of the drow elves' attack.

"They're attacking again."

Ashe remained silent.

"Damned elf traitor!"

"A group of people abandoned by God dare to return to the ground."

"Queen, we're going first!"

Several elf warriors, who had just sat down and warmed up their buttocks, cursed and rushed out quickly, holding their swords.

Florina was not surprised by this. Compared with the Minotaur that went south, these drow elves are obviously much more normal now.

After all, war is all about racing against time. Unless it is impossible to capture a city and a siege strategy is resorted to, war should be fought as quickly as possible.

After all, the longer the time goes, the more unexpected things will happen.

"Ashe, I'll go too. Now we can only hold on and wait for Sikai and the others' support. I hope they can arrive as soon as possible."

Florina stood up, holding the sword.

As a master of fighting spirit, her joining in the defense of the city would definitely relieve some of the pressure.

Although a commander should not stand in a dangerous city, it is already this time and Florina does not care about this.

"Let's go together. As a queen, I shouldn't hide in a place like this and watch my people fighting alone outside."

Ashe stood up from the chair holding a scepter inlaid with white gems. Her white dress instantly turned into a set of gilded armor, perfectly showing her tall and curvy body.

It can be guessed that this armor is definitely a magical item.

The two of them walked outside hand in hand.

Ashe rode on a snow-white unicorn and galloped towards the broken city in the distance where sounds of fighting were coming from, leaving only a faint rainbow ribbon behind her.

Florina also turned over and rode her own magical beast mount to follow.

The old people, women and children of the elves behind them watched their queen rush to the front line with worried looks on their faces.

Now, all the young warriors of the Whisperwind Tribe, both men and women, have gone to the battlefield, and only the elves who are too old or too young remain in the tribe.
