Chapter 619
Chapter 619 Enemy Assault
Spear Valley was exceedingly calm and peaceful in the afternoon.
Birds and bugs constantly chirped in the dim forest as flocks of colorful birds extended their beautiful wings and wove through the branches joyfully.
Dappled sunlight projected through the fine gaps between the leaves and the branches, leaving strands of brilliant light in the middle of the air. Sadly, these pillars of light couldn’t illuminate the forest. In fact, they made Spear Valley seem all the more quiet and complex.
The Spear Valley was a long, deep and narrow valley, known as such because its geography resembled a spear. An underground mine excavated by kobolds could be found in the deepest point of Spear Valley. The mine was famed for its abundant production of high-quality metal ores.
In all honesty, this place was a restricted military area carved out by the Elven Empire. No other individuals apart from elven convoys and kobold miners were allowed anywhere near it.
Kobold mines would often collapse easily due to excessive excavation and the lack of light. Other creatures and beasts were very reluctant to enter kobold mines. As such, the defense of kobolds unknowingly turned lax under such circumstances.
One could see that the only two kobold warriors guarding the dark entrance to the mines were nodding off while leaning against the rock wall and cradling their spears.
The geography of Spear Valley was too narrow. It didn’t allow for the flying ship to land within.
That was why Greem leaned over the front of the ship to judge the distance. He then waved his hand and had the vessel lower its altitude as much as possible.
The flying ship slowly started to descend while aligning with the center line of Spear Valley. Soon, it was level with the two cliffs beside it. Just then, the canopy of the trees scratched against the flying ship, letting out ear-piercing sounds of grinding metal and snapping branches.
The two kobold warriors guarding the entrance of the mine were already shocked awake. They dropped their spears when they saw the gigantic object crushing toward them and escaped into the tunnels while yelling and hollering.
Dong! A muffled boom rang out.
The bottom of the flying ship had touched the cliff, and The entire ship trembled before finally stopping.
At this moment, the ancient trees of the stone cliffs surrounded the ship, tightly wrapping around it as if they were the swaddling clothes of a baby.
A ten-man squad emerged from the inside of the ship.
It was composed of two goblin technicians leading eight Archers.
Apart from half-elf Tymo, only Greem, Billis, and two other Fate Witches were on the deck.
It was the two young witches’ first time coming to such a beautiful and different world. They were excited, joyful, and had already made plans to go touring through the nearby forest.
Who knew? They might be able to find some rare plant specimen that didn’t exist in the World of Adepts in these strange lands. Such things were worth quite a lot of magical crystals back in the World of Adepts.
Just as Greem commanded the ten-man exploration squad to dive downward, the two witches at the bow of the ship suddenly shouted ‘enemy assault.’
The whistling of arrows came from the skies above.
A large cluster of enchanted arrows glowing with magical light shot toward Greem and the others.
