The Witcher: Son of the Planes.

Chapter 369: Difficult Battle Situation

When Colin followed Hedram to the battlefield, he saw the familiar ancient war tree again.

What is different from the previous battles is that the elves of the Agri plane are allies of the Listan Alliance, and now the Esilia side has become the opposing side.

Hedram did not delay for long. He was a melee profession and had something to do when he went back just now. That was why he was assigned to bring Colin here. Now that the mission was completed, he also had to complete his task. All his achievements came from his performance on the battlefield.

Colin's eyes did not follow Hedram. Instead, after a brief examination of the current situation on the battlefield, he set his target of attack on the ancient war tree.

It’s not that the elves are difficult to deal with, but this ancient war tree is too "thick-skinned". Not only is it not afraid of being attacked, but every time it attacks, it will take away many slave creatures. It is like a reef that cannot be broken by the waves, and it always stands at the forefront of the battlefield.

In order to save mental energy and mana, Colin summoned Charles again. Colin, who was lifted into the air by Charles, began a saturation attack with fire magic.

But neither the Pyroblast nor the Fire Wall seemed to be able to ignite the ancient war tree. He then tried the effect of the Hands of Fire, and with the help of the pulling force, he only broke a few small branches. The effect was too poor.

Colin tried the penetrating effect of the scorching ray again. It was able to penetrate, but it could not hit the vital points. It was meaningless. Every time Colin fired towards the core of the ancient war tree, there would always be branches blocking the ancient tree.

The scorching ray had consumed its energy by piercing through a branch, and was no longer able to cause further damage to the vital parts of the ancient tree.

It is indeed difficult to deal with one person alone. Fortunately, apart from Colin attacking from behind, there are more slave creatures in front, and some of the shorter ones have climbed up the ancient trees.

But the ancient tree was not fighting alone, but there were many elves fighting together with it.

The slave creatures that climbed up the ancient tree suffered heavy casualties. Even if the elves ignored them, they could not cause much damage.

Colin began to release Lava Purgatory, his innate witchcraft that he had mastered at level one. But after releasing it, Colin felt relieved.

He knew that the effect was not very good, so he just burned a few branches. It was better than other witchcraft. He did not try the dimensional slash and decided to turn to dealing with the elves.

Colin has fought in various dimensions so many times, and the only thing he has learned is to do things within one's ability. If one really cannot defeat an enemy, he can run away or change his target. There is no need to fight to the death.

It was much easier to deal with the elves. He did not even look for those elves above level two, but focused on dealing with level one elves. The effect was immediately apparent.

There are very few level one elves that can withstand his three attacks, and they will usually be injured or killed after one or two attacks.

After Colin replenished a bottle of mana potion and mental power potion, the battle for the day was basically over.

The ancient war tree that Colin saw as soon as he came on the field still hasn't fallen down. Although it seems to have many small wounds on its body, it looks like it can hold on for a long time.

According to Colin's understanding, this kind of ancient tree can either be attacked collectively by some wizards above level 2, or be killed by professionals above level 3. If it relies solely on those low-level slave creatures, it is unknown how many of them will die before it is killed, or if it can't be killed at all.

For more than half a month, Colin repeated the same task every day. He went out to eliminate some level one and below elves, and attacked some level two elves when he got the chance.

Although it was only a short half month, the effect was still very significant and I gained a lot of merit points.

The elves on the opposite side seemed endless. Judging from the consumption of the slave creatures, a lot of the elves on the opposite side should have died, but they still appeared on the battlefield in large numbers every day.

When the ancient war tree in Colin's memory fell, two months had passed and the area under the responsibility of the 38th Legion had only advanced less than 1 kilometer.

At this point, Colin also understood why the progress of Gini Continent was so slow.

During this time, while Colin was resting, he finally received news from Edith and Hathaway. The situation on their side was not very good. The vanguard of the Kingdom of Gillia had already entered the Kingdom of Rhett.

The Necromancers from the Voltalin area also arrived at the battlefield. After the two sides fought for a long time, the arrival of the Necromancers gave both sides a great gift.

A large number of "corpses" that had not been dealt with in time stood up shakily, and under the command of the Necromancer, rushed towards the wizard army and the demon clan.

Although it was a battle of consumption, it seemed that the more they fought, the more opponents there were. Some slave creatures were transformed into undead creatures after death, and some were even promoted to higher levels after the transformation.

Although Hathaway and Edith tried their best to preserve their strength, as the war situation deteriorated, the slave army they led was inevitably doomed. The Chilan warriors in the back row were still relatively safe, but more than 100,000 Centaurs had already died.

According to the headquarters there, they might retreat to the Sutters River or Razor Canyon.

Although the Gini Continent is also advancing steadily, the progress is not fast. If this continues, the war situation will be worrying.

Just when Colin was secretly getting anxious, the command finally came from the headquarters to slow down the war.

The war on the Gini Continent began to slow down, and the intensity of daily attacks decreased a lot. The elves on the opposite side also discovered the situation here. They did not choose to counterattack strongly, and also slowed down the intensity of their defense.

After fighting for so long, they were a little tired. Although the ancient war tree seemed extremely powerful, there were indeed too many elves killed and injured. At this time, the wizards took the initiative to slow down their attacks, and the elves also wanted to relax.

It’s not that the elves have not contacted the human kingdoms on the main continent, but according to them, the elves should take the initiative to attract the main force of the wizard army, let them completely defeat the wizard army and the demon clan on the main continent first, and then support them.

Let’s not talk about whether they can succeed or not. Even if they succeed, how many elves will be left here?

All we can say is that they are not of the same race, and their thoughts are different. Even if they cooperate, there is still a distance between them, and they all have their own little thoughts.

I don't know how Dean Rodbell and Deputy Captain Pollitt reported to Lord Griman.

This situation continued for another month, and the main continent was said to have retreated to Razor Canyon, and even the Sutters River could not be defended.

On the other hand, on the Gini Continent, it was heard that a delegation would be sent to the Elf King's Court to discuss peace talks.

After hearing this news, Colin was also drunk. Where is Lord Grimman's courage? Can't he first transfer the legions from the main continent back and kill the elves in the Gini continent?

Since we are not at an advantage in numbers and high-level combat power, we should proceed steadily and cautiously. How can we divide our forces?

Now, something has gone wrong, and Lord Griman is not coming back, so he has to pay for it this time.

Colin is not worried about not being able to leave this plane now, but he has invested a lot in conquering this plane. Don’t so many slave creatures cost money?

Moreover, it is still unclear whether the Elf King's Court will negotiate peace with you.
