Chapter 701 Invasion of Alfheim (1)
Alfheim, the dwelling place of the Light Elves, is described in Human mythology as a Kingdom of eternal spring, and in fact, it is.
Most of Alfheim is covered by verdant Trees, and even in places not covered by Trees, Fresh Flowers and Grass are common sights. Magical Creatures from Fairy Tales are everywhere.
This is a Kingdom suitable for the survival of most Creatures, a Kingdom full of Mystery and Magic, a standard Fairy Tale Kingdom, like a picture scroll filled with beautiful Wish.
But today, the Tranquility of this picture scroll, which has lasted for thousands of years, is about to be stained by a smudge.
On the City Walls that are as intricately rooted as Plant Roots, the Light Elf Queen frowned and looked down at the groups of Frost Giants below. The Leader was, unsurprisingly, the notorious Giant King Laufey.
"Are you going to launch a full-scale War against the Light Elves, Laufey?"
The Light Elf Queen's Question was met with Laufey's disdain. I've brought an Army in full Armament and I'm standing Outside the door of your Home, you don't think I'm here for sightseeing, do you? These Light Elves are really naive.
"Enough Nonsense." Laufey raised the Single-Edged Battle Axe on his Shoulder high. "Laufey is here to fight."
Before his Words finished, the Axe emitting Frost was instantly wrapped in a thick Ice Layer. The already enormous Axe now looked even more exaggerated. Before the Light Elf Queen could open her mouth to stop him, the Frost Giant Axe fell from the Sky and directly cleaved the City Wall composed of Plant Roots.
"Boom!"
The Giant Axe emitting Frost penetrated the intricate and thick Roots like cutting tofu. Not only that, with the Invasion of Ice, a layer of Frost began to fall on the Roots, and gradually the Frost covered a large area.
The Elf Queen held onto the City Wall to prevent herself from falling. She could see that Laufey wanted to freeze the 'City Wall' to Death with Ice.
Light Elves are Creatures who worship Nature and Magic. Their Clothing, food, housing, and transportation all rely on Nature. Clothing comes from the Silk spun by Insects and the Leaves of Plants, food comes from the Gift of Nature, and even Building Facilities are various Plants.
For example, the City Wall Underfoot is actually composed of the Roots of various Ancient Alfheim Plants. Their Life is almost as ancient as Alfheim itself. Maybe these Plants existed before the Light Elves.
But precisely because of this, these ancient Magic Plants, under the guidance and care of the Light Elves, have become natural Protective Circles. Don't underestimate these Plants, the toughness of a single Root is no less than Steel.
Under the Blessing of Magic, ordinary Fire Magic cannot destroy these Plants. Now Laufey can use his own Power to split several Roots with an Axe, which is already an amazing feat in itself.
In addition to letting Frost invade these Plants from the inside, if he continues, it won't take long before he really breaks through the City Wall, and then Alfheim will be plunged into misery.
"Strengthen the Defense of the City Wall! Stop the Invasion of the Frost Giants!" The Queen quickly ordered. The Light Elf Mages behind her quickly cast spells. Some cast various Magic on the City Wall, and some used Attack Magic to Attack Laufey.
In short, Barrages of various kinds were endless for a Time, and many archers also shot Arrows. War was on the verge of breaking out.
"Protect the King!" The Giants behind Laufey shouted and rushed to Laufey's side, raising the Round Shields in their Hands to resist the various Attacks falling from the Sky.
Ordinary Shields naturally cannot withstand the bombardment of various Magic, but Frost Giants can use the Power of Ice. Even their Shields are covered with a thick Layer of Solid Ice. Attacks are blocked by the Ice Layer before they even touch the Shields themselves.
For a Time, Ice Flowers splashed everywhere. Alfheim, which is like spring all year round, ushered in Winter for the first Time. These Creatures living in a Greenhouse are now about to face the first Blizzard in their Life.
"Please retreat, Queen." A Subordinate said to the Elf Queen. "We can still build several Tree Walls, which can always block the Offensive of the Frost Giants. You don't need to take risks at the Frontline."
"Yes, Queen." The others echoed. "Even if we can't resist, you can ask Asgard for help in the Royal Palace. Staying at the Frontline is really unwise."
When the Elf Queen heard this, she felt it made sense. She is the backbone of the Light Elves, just like Laufey is to the Frost Giants. As long as their Leaders do not fall, their Subordinates will have a Goal to fight for.
Conversely, if their Leaders fall, the Army will naturally collapse, which is also the Reason why those Frost Giants protect Laufey.
"Alright." The Elf Queen nodded. "Communication Magic must be kept on all the Time. I want to pay attention to the Situation on the Battlefield at all Times. If you can't hold on, you must retreat. Our main Goal is to save our Life. At the critical moment, I will ask Asgard for reinforcements."
"Yes! Queen!" The Elves replied in unison. This deafening Sound not only gave the Elf Queen Confidence, but also Comforted the other Companions around her. After all, the more Elves there are, the less Fear there will be.
The Queen looked at her Soldiers with satisfaction, and then withdrew under the cover of her personal guards.
Laufey stood in the Protective Circle of his Subordinates. He was almost asleep. If it weren't for cooperating with Malekith's Plan, he would have broken through this City Wall long ago, instead of standing here foolishly pretending to be evenly matched with the City Wall.
Although the Tree Wall is very hard and there are many Light Elf Mages constantly repairing the City Wall with Magic, these Powers are just mantis arms trying to stop a Car in front of Laufey.
Who is he? Giant King Laufey. Although not as tyrannical as Surtur, he is also a Giant who led the Frost Giants into Asgard. The one who fought him back then was God King Odin.
What Level are you Light Elves? Do you really think this Tree Wall can stop me? Don't make Giants laugh.
Just when Laufey was bored, a Frost Giant standing at the very back suddenly raised the Spear he had prepared long ago, then aimed it at the Sky and threw it out. It collided with the Elves' Attack, and then exploded into countless Ice Crystals.
Ice Crystal debris fell, and all the Frost Giants noticed it, of course, including Laufey who was blocked. The Corner of his Mouth with Fang raised slightly. Finally, he didn't have to stand here foolishly anymore.
This move looks like a counterattack from the Frost Giants, but it is actually a Signal agreed upon in advance by Laufey and Malekith.
Malekith's Goal is the Light Elf Queen, but it is too difficult to capture the King in Presence of everyone, so it is necessary to let the Elf Queen return to the Royal Palace from the Frontline.
Because of receiving the Invasion, the Light Elves will inevitably transfer most of their Manpower to the Frontline. At this Time, the Royal Palace will be relatively empty. Malekith wants to take action at this Time.
