"But there is no need to cut down such a wide road!" Sylvia tried to control her resentment. Every tree that was cut down seemed to tug at her heart.

If it was just cutting down trees, it would be fine. The most important thing is that because of cutting down trees to open up roads, the army's marching speed has been greatly reduced. Now it can't even walk 50 kilometers a day.

If this continues, when will these human support troops be able to support the elves and participate in the battle?

You know, since this group of human troops entered the sea of ​​trees, Sylvia has delivered a batch of materials to Xinnan City, including two fruits of the tree of life.

"Your Highness, we are just the advance troops. It is necessary to open up the road. Otherwise, do we have to wait for the army in the rear to come and open it up?" General Zhou explained without any impatience.

"This... How long will it take for us to reach the front line to support!?" Sylvia asked unwillingly.

"Staff Li, how long do you think it will take?" General Zhou turned his head and looked at a group of staff officers who were busy on the side.

"General, according to the calculation of the staff department, we can reach the front line in about one and a half months." A busy staff officer turned around and reported loudly when he heard the question.

After hearing this, Sylvia couldn't help but put her hands to cover her face. She sighed and said, "That is to say, we can't join the war until at least one and a half months later!"

Staff Officer Li glanced at her, then saluted and said, "Your Highness... it will take at least two months to join the war."

"Why!?" Sylvia was shocked.

"The army has been marching for so long, and they need to rest and adjust their status after arriving. Otherwise, if they go to the battlefield directly with their exhausted bodies, it will be equivalent to sending them to death!" Staff Officer Li replied seriously.

Sylvia was dumbfounded after hearing this. Seeing her like this, General Zhou also patiently comforted her and sent her away in a good mood.

General Zhou's name is Zhou Yuxin. He is the highest commander of this army, a follower of the legendary mage You Taining, and a high-ranking Holy Knight.

He is very powerful. He has been the commander of the New South City Mobile Division. Even the legendary wizards are inferior to him in commanding operations.

That's not all. His personal strength is also very good. He is only one step away from becoming a legend, but this step is like a natural barrier that has blocked him for decades.

He specially arranged the recent marching speed of the army. First, it is to maintain the physical strength of the soldiers.

Second, it is also to deliberately slow down the time of participating in the battle. After all, You Taining is still reorganizing the army in the rear. Now the more than 6,000 people he leads are just the advance troops.

There are many demons and their strength is not weak. Relying on these 6,000 people to participate in the war, even if they can achieve results, the losses of the troops are not small.

As for the third, it is because we have to consider ensuring the smooth flow of logistics roads.

...

Deep in the sea of ​​trees.

A green town stands here. This is a town of elves. Originally, it was inhabited by elves who did not like to stay in the royal court.

At this time, most of the people who escaped from the royal court have gathered here, and it has become the front line to resist the demon attack. This is the town of Viaber.

But it is not safe here. The people who escaped from the royal court will be divided here. Some of the stronger and braver warriors will stay here to resist the demons.

And some of the weaker ones, including the old, weak, women and children of the elves, will continue to evacuate to other elf towns deep in the sea of ​​trees.

At this time, the appearance of Viaber Town has changed greatly. It used to be a small town with a permanent population of less than 5,000, but now it has gathered tens of thousands of elf troops.

This town has inevitably been expanded. The powerful warriors dug huge stones from the distant mountains and then handed them over to the tall tree guards to transport them.

The druids of the elves generously poured their magic power and planted the seeds of magic vines one by one. These seeds grew rapidly under the action of magic power, and the hard vines like steel quickly woven and built into frames.

The tree guards filled the boulders into the frames woven by the vines, and then it was the turn of the elf wizards.

They used magic to fill the gaps between the boulders with mud, and then used magic to turn mud into stone, turning the mud into hard stone and connecting these hard boulders.

Then many elf wizards stood on the vines, engraved runes on these boulders, and then poured special magic solutions to make these walls have higher defense.

With the concerted efforts of the elves, a huge fortress quickly rose from the ground. If you look at it with real vision, the magic aura on the fortress was so strong that it was blinding, and the magic runes were connected one after another. Even if the demon army attacked, they would definitely crash into the city and bleed.

Outside the sea of ​​trees, there were many elven druids in action. In the past, they admired nature and were not particularly enthusiastic about the work of enlightening tree people.

In the past, these druids would only enlighten tree people to appear during the journey when they were in a whim, but now it is different. The war has started and they have to be busy.

In a group of tall trees, a small group of elves were on guard again, led by a golden-level elf warrior, who was holding a sharp blade and guarding beside a druid with a vigilant look.

Around them, there were seven or eight elves, some of whom were warriors and some were hunters, standing in separate positions on guard.

In the center, a golden-level druid closed his eyes, holding a magic wand that seemed to be made of branches in his hand. The magic wand seemed to have just been broken from a tree, with a few green branches and leaves on the top.

The elf druid was silently sketching runes. As his spells took effect, a large amount of natural magic gathered. He suddenly opened his eyes, and two green lights were projected from his eyes.

In front of him was an ancient tree that was hundreds of years old. The trunk of the ancient tree was extremely thick, and the bark was as solid as scales. There were several thick branches at high altitudes. If you get close, you can feel the natural breath accumulated over the long years.

The druid waved his magic wand, and a natural torrent poured into the ancient tree. After these magic powers poured into the ancient tree, it was like throwing a stone into a calm lake.

The natural magic power that was originally quiet in the ancient tree was constantly agitated at this time, and the breath of the ancient tree became stronger and stronger, and even a whirlwind blew around it.

The dead leaves on the ground kept flying up and circling under the influence of this whirlwind.

The elves around looked at this scene and their expressions became happy, especially the elf druid. Although his face was a little pale due to the overdraft of magic power, he couldn't suppress the joy in his eyes at that time.
