The heavy rain slapped against the wooden roof of the whistle tower and made a crackling sound. The rain in the night was hazy, and the strong wind brought sensation of shade to invade the body, taking away the only warmth left.

The silver-haired elf in a large cloak stared at the east direction of the whistle tower.

Although there was nothingness covered in the darkness, all the elves here knew that there was a dark and dangerous valley in that direction—

Nanduntao Sipbe, the valley of horror.

That was the evil and greedy Ugoliante and the place where her large number of her descendants were occupied.

Being in the hinterland of Berryand, the Kingdom of Dorias has not had any war for a long time, but it does not mean that there is no danger.

The evil gods who had once joined forces with the Northern Morgos and parted ways were always entrenched in the dark valley. It was so empty that its descendants were very anxious and often climbed out of the valley and rushed into Dorias.

The silver-haired elf Berege and the army under his jurisdiction were mainly defending against these enemies, fearing that the infinite monsters would one day rush out to attack Dorias.

As for the Angban further north, they do not pay special attention to it.

The border troops were stationed here to guard against the dark places where monsters often rushed out.

However, for some reason, it has become extremely quiet there recently, as if all the spiders have disappeared!

Some soldiers were happy about this, but as the leader of the garrison, Beliege felt a bad feeling.

He couldn't say where this feeling came from, but he just couldn't keep his heart calm.

So much so that in the face of the heavy rain tonight, he did not stay in the camp, but instead climbed up the tower here and watched the direction of the terrifying valley with the scouts.

“What the hell is it doing?”

Beliege murmured, thinking of the kind that I often heard over the years, the extremely hungry, the shrill and faint terrifying screams, and there was a hint of fear in his heart.

The sun and moon that enveloped the world in the sky originated from the fruits of the two holy trees in Amen Prefecture in the West before they died. However, the holy trees withered because of the terrifying spider Ugoliant.

In the age when the starry sky was long, it even fought against Morgoth and ran away in a mess.

In the face of such an existence, no matter how conceited the elf is, he cannot maintain a normal mind. It is even more impossible for Bereg, who has always been modest.

He was thinking and pondering, and the dark void suddenly appeared in the darkness outside the corner of his eyes.

This special light change made Beliege think, and then he quickly turned his head to look, and found that a bright light actually appeared in the vast forest southwest of the wasteland under his feet!

The light bloomed hazy, slowly lit up the darkness at the end of the sight. Because the distance was too far, it looked like a huge star appeared on the earth, but it was like the sun rising from the east in the early morning, quiet and magnificent.

But the light suddenly went out after blooming for more than ten seconds. Therefore, the trance of Beliege came to his senses instantly, called the scout beside him, and quickly got off the whistle.

That direction is not very close to the border garrison, and it is even a forest. But it is also in the territory of Dorias, and such a strange scene must have happened, something important must have happened.

Naturally, the head of the garrison, could not remain indifferent.

Back at the camp, he ordered his deputy to be alert to the direction of the Death Canyon at any time. Beliege pointed a team of hundreds of soldiers to rush towards the place where the light was blooming.

The heavy rain continued, but it could not stop the army from moving forward. Soon after, the gray elves soldiers who were rushing through the forest discovered some monsters that were unlikely to appear here.

"Wugouli Ante's son?"

"How could they be in Brighill?"

Spiders that rushed out of the forest on rainy nights were scattered and were constantly shot by gray elves archers. Because of their numerical advantage, the terrifying monsters could not get close to the army at all.

However, the elves didn't feel any relief.

The enemy who should be outside the defense line actually appeared in the Brighill Forest where they were defending!?

How do they do it?

However, no matter what the monsters' purpose is, this is a dereliction of duty by the Dorias border troops. If King Singer knew about this, he would definitely be furious.

Not to mention, in case these monsters have caused any important losses...

Some military leaders are full of worries.

But ordinary soldiers would not think about so many things. They were wearing rainproof cloaks, pulling their bows and shooting at the big spiders that kept coming out of the deep forest. The elves were strange because of this.

"These monsters seem to be panicked?"

"What happened over there?"

This situation made all the soldiers very curious and alert. While packing up the scattered fat spider shadows, they quickly approached the monsters when they came.

So gradually, the sound of the river flowing began to come and became stronger.

More than a hundred troops finally arrived at the edge of this forest, where the Sindal tribe is located at the ferry of the Teglin River.

The ferry boat was tied tightly to the bridge head by thick ropes, and swayed with the surging river. Several black monsters lurked in the shallow river and stood still, as if they were dead.

On the other side of the river, the edge of a forest was also on the edge of the forest. The supposedly dense oak forest was now bare, as if it had been swept by a storm.

Under the rain curtain, a dim and hazy fire bloomed from the roots of one of the oak trees. Looking at it intently, the fire seemed to appear from a simple shed, with some narrow and long shadows of elf inside.

It seemed to be his own, but the silver-haired elf Berege did not relax his vigilance, but signaled the archers to set up a formation on the other side, and he took some soldiers to cross the river on a boat.

No accident happened, but the few motionless spiders in the river made Beliege feel suspicious.

These monsters with no wounds all over their bodies were basically stuck in the cracks of the river and rocks, otherwise they would have been washed away long ago.

Their stuck posture is also weird, as if they fell from a high altitude rather than hitting in parallel.

Later, when Beliege arrived on the other side and walked on the surface of the mud on the shore, his sense of doubt became even stronger.

The feet were filled with some dark, fragmented solids covered by mud and water. They seemed to be coke formed by burning fire. They were very crispy. After stepping on them, they would directly turn into a pool of grinding and then be washed by rain and melted into the mud.

So, there was a fire burning here?

But the light did not look like fire at all, and there was no damage to the surrounding trees except for leaves...

With confusion, a total of more than a dozen elves slowly approached the only bright place not far away. Gradually, the figures of the same tribe came into view.

Five elves surrounded the bonfire in the humble shed, two were unconscious and three were awake.

The coma elf, a man and a woman, and a blonde figure sat beside them, looking over with great vigilance.

The blonde elf looked familiar, Beleg thought, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

However, he was very familiar with the two sitting opposite the blonde elves.

It was the soldiers on duty at this ferry, one of the gray-haired elf named Olophael, who had even been on duty under his command.

So when he approached, Beliege nodded and greeted the blonde elves, then looked at the bandaged female elves and cut off their wrists, frowned and asked the two garrison soldiers: "What's going on here?"
