Chapter 1160: Boss Mag Hired Us
Irina’s beautiful brows furrowed after hearing that. Her expression became colder as she stared at the “fire dragon” below.
“These fellows chose to only surround us, and not attack. They don’t dare to enter the underground cavern, so they most probably already knew we have a food shortage. If we try to break out now, a huge battle will ensue. We are most likely not their match given our current potential, but if we continue to drag on without food and help, we will collapse in a few days on our own.” That elf looked at Irina worriedly, and said, “Princess, what should we do?”
“The underground cavern is our last line of defense. We cannot give it up.” Irina shook her head. She gazed into the distance, and said in a cold voice, “I will solve the food problem. Tell them not to worry. As long as I am still here, the underground cavern will not fall.”
That elf looked at Irina, and hesitantly said, “Princess, they don’t dare to invade us now, because you are here. Once you leave to search for food, they are going to launch a huge assault and take down the underground cavern.”
Irina pursed her lips, and a hint of vexation flashed across her eyes. Borg and Helena, those two conniving fellows. They wanted to preserve their strength and avoid a direct conflict with her, and thus they resorted to such an underhanded method.
To their north was the Wind Forest controlled by the enemies; to their south was the Vic Mountain of the goblins, who had stopped them from going in further. How were they going to find food for 1000 elves in these barren lands?
Right at this moment, sounds of explosions came from the bottom of the mountain, followed by chaotic shouts.
“This is?” Irina looked down in a perplexment. A huge fire suddenly broke out in the forest to the northwest. Giant fireballs kept exploding within the forest, and made the fire burn even fiercer.
The fire torches that were surrounding the underground cavern swiftly dashed toward the huge fire, and gaps soon appeared.
“Could there be people coming to join us and having a fight with them?” The elf at the side approached, also wondering what was going on.
“Tell them to guard the cavern. Do not attack without my orders. I’m going to have a look now,” Irina ordered as a green beam lit up under her feet, and she disappeared.
Kiel looked toward the huge fire, and said in a hushed voice, “Boss attracted their attention and disarmed those elves. We can drive the wagons through quickly now. Remember, we have to be fast and quiet.”
The Burning Legion nodded in silence and grasped their reins tightly.
Firis hugged the two books in her arms tightly as she stared at that pitch-black mountain with trepidation. She was going to see the princess again.
Kiel and Mond looked at each other before proceeding ahead in silence. They struck down a few elves with their clubs, and then dragged the unconscious elves into the woods and dumped them there.
“Let’s go!”
Kiel waved to the caravan, and the unicorn wagons filled with food swiftly passed along the uneven roads carved out by the goblins when they were mining. They quickly drove toward the underground cavern under the dark sky.
It’s a demon? Irina stood on the top of a tree and observed a dark shadow rushed out of the woods and ran toward the opposite direction. It was a lava demon and he was running toward the cavern.
What does this fellow want? Doubt appeared on Irina’s face. There was still deep-set enmity between the elves and demons. However, lava demons weren’t part of the group that had invaded Wind Forest years ago, so the hatred she had for them was much weaker. The beam underneath her feet lit up, and she stood in front of that demon when she reappeared. She extended her magic caster’s staff and coldly asked, “What are you doing here, sneaking around like this?”
Sargeras, who was in the midst of a dash, halted. Flames slowly rose up in his palms. His eyes lit up when his gaze landed on Irina, and the flames were put out. He immediately smiled, and said, “You must be Princess Irina? I am Sargeras. Boss Mag hired us to send Miss Firis and the foodstuffs here. I set the fire to attract those elves’ attention when I discovered that they had surrounded the mountain. My brothers should have passed through the blockade with the food and Miss Firis now.”
“Boss Mag…” Irina repeated softly. Then, her eyes lit up and her voice rose up too. “You are saying Mag asked you to send Firis and the foodstuffs here?”
“Yes. Everything you see here. You can verify it once you meet Miss Firis later.” Sargeras nodded. He looked behind him, and continued, “Those elves are going to seal up the mountain very soon, and the elves in the cavern don’t know that help is here to deliver their food. A misunderstanding may occur. Princess, I urge you to go back to have a look first.”
Irina gazed at Sargeras, who was an 8th-tier demon. He couldn’t pose a threat to her, and with Firis around, she would know instantly if there was trouble.
Two teleportation portals lit up underneath their feet, and they both disappeared with a flash.
On the other end, Kiel and Mond led the caravan up on the road, and they soon reached a cavern’s entrance. They couldn’t see anything in the pitch dark cavern.
“The roads up there are all damaged, so we can only enter from here,” Mond said softly.
Kiel looked into the cave and scratched his head as he said, “It’s pitch dark and we don’t know what is in there. The Night Elves should have laid down many traps. What should we do?” He didn’t dare to act rashly.
“Whoosh!”
Right at this time, an arrow shot out from the cave, flew by Kiel’s head, and lodged itself into the wagon. Its tail was still trembling.
Sounds of arrows being nocked could be heard in the cave. There seemed to be dozens of arrows aiming at them in the dark.
“Damn!” Kiel touched his head and shivered. If he had been a few inches taller, he would have been hit. He turned and shouted at Firis, “Miss Firis, aren’t we on the same side? Quick, identify yourself and tell them to stop shooting. They almost hit the friendlies.”
Firis quickly shouted, “I am Fi—”
“Release!” an indifferent voice said in the tunnel, and sounds of arrows flying through the air appeared at the same time.
“Damn!” Kiel and Mond said together, and then jumped to the side.
Markza grabbed Firis, who was standing on the shaft, and jumped to the side.
“Halt!”
Right at this moment, someone shouted, and a green light shield appeared at the entrance. Dozens of arrows landed on the light shield, but none could pass through.
A green teleportation portal appeared and Irina walked out as she addressed the cavern, “Stop, we are all on the same side.”
“Princess!” Firis, whose feet just touched the ground, dashed over with reddened eyes.
