Chapter 626
Chapter 626 Analysis
Just as the elves were sending the information from the village up their command chain, Greem and Alice were facing the wooden idol and discussing their strategy.
The floating ship was now parked above an isolated island one hundred and ten nautical miles away from Garan.
The island wasn’t large. It was only one or two square kilometers in size and was filled with black stone. There was barely any soft dirt, let alone plants or animals.
The geography of the island was extremely uneven, and there was really no place where the flying ship could steadily land. Thus, Greem could only have it stop ten meters above the ground, silently resting and making preparations.
They had just fought a battle and captured some elven prisoners, and they had to find a place to put them as soon as possible. After all, they couldn’t possibly go around fighting while lugging their prisoners about, could they?
A group of construction machines was sent down from the flying ship. They dug out a small underground prison in a hidden location on the island and then stuffed all the elven prisoners in there.
After offloading their burdens, Greem decided to just go with the flow and announced three days of rest on the island.
Of course, the elven aerial army wasn’t made up of only ‘useless’ troops. The specially bred chimeras not only had thick hides; they were also skilled in the magic of three elements. If the elves could gather enough chimeras to lead the charge, there was still a possibility of them breaking through the field of fire and boarding the ship.
However, when that happened, it would be time for the adepts to act!
Every elementium adept was a fearsome elementium volcano. When they unleashed all of their powers and recklessly poured their magical tide upon the enemy, the fearsome scene that would ensue was chilling and terrifying to even think about!
In the end, the only one that could truly threaten the flying ship was actually a ‘faux-aerial army’!
The Druid Conclave.
As a select group of individuals within the elven kingdom, the Druid Conclave possessed transcendent status and immense power within the nation.
Even the most junior of druids possessed miraculous nature powers.
They could cast spells, transform, and even summon forest companions to fight by their side. They were practically the combination of elementium adepts, bloodline adepts, and summoners. They might not be sufficiently focused in any of those aspects, but their overall combat strength was formidable.
If one had to pick the army within the elven kingdom that was the most likely threat to the flying ship, it would have to be the Druid Conclave formed by large amounts of druids.
They could transform into wind eagles or Socrates Condors, take to the winds and catch up to the flying ship. Once they boarded the vessel, they could instantly shift into large creatures such as earth maulers, berserk apes, razor boars, and brutelephants.
This way, they wouldn’t lose much ground, even against the defensive magical machines.
Furthermore, they possessed the ability to rapidly cast spells, summoning rooting nature magic and unleashing powerful offensive nature spells. It was not good news for the magical machines, whose magical resistances were on the weaker side!
Therefore, if the flying ship were to ever engage in an all-out battle with the elves, the one they most had to prepare against were these annoying druids.
