Chapter 2, A Familiar World (Part 2)

It is somewhat strange that I seem to understand what the red-haired knight is saying... Although the distance is considerable, the shouts of the red-haired woman still occasionally reach Heide's ears, faintly conveying fragments such as "to the left," "second squad," and "close in," among others. However, Heide is certain that this is neither Chinese, English, nor any language he knows, yet he can still comprehend it.

It is noteworthy that the surface of the armor she wears seems to be enveloped in a layer of red luminescence, particularly pronounced around the head and arms. The faintly visible red patterns form protrusions resembling beast ears on either side of her head, while on her arms, they take the shape of fierce beast claws. Additionally, at the hip area of her waist skirt armor, a furry red wolf tail is exposed, which, resembling flames, imparts a surreal and illusory sensation.

Her individual bravery alone cannot offset the overall disparity in strength. The coordination on the side of the elves is exceptionally remarkable, as they continuously shift positions to launch attacks. In particular, the ten elven sorcerers riding unicorns consistently employ various wondrous spells to hinder the movements of the red-haired knight.

The elves, both male and female, lifted their vine-leaf helmets to reveal their faces, wearing expressions of disdain as they kept a distant watch over the helpless coalition forces, while orderly departing. Each possessed an unmatched beauty and a tall, heroic stature, exuding an undeniable coolness that would undoubtedly provoke countless screams from young boys and girls in modern society

However, the opposing elven cavalry always manages to create a slight opening. Subsequently, a certain elven archer, moving around the periphery, takes a precise long-range shot, seizing this fleeting opportunity. A sharp long arrow, over one meter in length, pierces the vital body of a victim. This exquisite marksmanship indeed lives up to the rumors that the elven race consists of master archers

The multi-racial coalition, which is comprised of many people, should protect the deceased humans and the short-eared elf refugees. This was also one of the reasons for Heid's previous change of attire. Although he is currently unaware of the reasons for their hostility, it is evident that the elven side cannot possibly regard him favorably, as the corpses on the ground are all their handiwork.

The only threat that the coalition poses to the elves is the striking red-haired female knight, whose long red hair flows like a banner behind her, combined with her unique armor, resembling a swirling and fierce flame that moves everywhere.

The hit rate of the attack spells cast by these mages is indeed quite low, and even when they do hit the agile elven cavalry or their saber-toothed tiger mounts, the impact is negated by the flower-like green radiance emanating from the opponents, which appears to be the result of the supportive defensive spells cast by the elven sorcerers wielding staves in the rear

Vines occasionally emerged from the ground, entangling the red-haired giant wolves, or suddenly a patch of carnivorous plants, several meters in diameter, with sharp teeth appeared. These spells were cast quickly, and although these bizarre plants were soon crushed by the opponents, preventing them from hindering the red-haired female knight and the giant wolves for too long, they effectively obstructed their pursuit of the elven knights

"What are these elves doing? They even kill their own kind's children." Heide felt a pang of compassion; the one who had just been shot through the chest was an elven youth. Although his ears were considerably shorter, the distinct features of pointed ears and delicate beauty were still evident, marking him as one of their kind. "Does having shorter ears mean he is not a compatriot?"

It seems to be a wolf girl, Hed guessed

From time to time, elusive elven cavalry are struck by the light whip she wields. What appears to be a delicate attack consistently manages to pierce through the incredibly resilient vine leaf armor of the elven cavalry, leaving behind deep wounds. If it were not for the relentless efforts of the elven archers and elven sorcerers on the periphery, who desperately attack the coalition's other soldiers and the human refugees they protect with sharp arrows and spells, forcing the red-haired knight to tirelessly defend herself, it is hard to say how many elves would have perished at her hands.

Those half-meter-long green blades of grass do not appear to be anything good; the leaves of the plants actually shimmer with a metallic luster, instilling a sense of extreme danger at first glance. Even the fierce red-haired giant wolves dare not step beyond the threshold.

The red-haired woman had her cheeks obscured by a uniquely styled helmet, making her features difficult to discern. However, the fire-red female lightweight armor, while meticulously protecting her body, could not conceal her exquisite and perfectly shaped figure.

The battle between humans and elves did not last for long

The objective of the elves was clearly those humans surrounded in the center for protection, as well as the short-eared elf refugees. Although the red-haired wolf girl was fierce and strong, she was ultimately unable to stand alone. The elves moved back and forth, dividing a large portion of their forces to entangle her, while others took the opportunity to launch surprise attacks on the coalition's circular formation, which had noticeably weaker individual strength. As soon as the last short-eared elf refugee was shot, the elves immediately began their retreat

The red-haired female knight is clearly the leader of the multi-racial coalition. She wields two fiery red whips in her hands, their trajectories so swift that they are barely discernible. Hede can only feel the dense afterimages of those two fiery serpents left on his retina. The paths traced by the whips cover an area of several meters around her, easily dispersing the various spells cast by the elven sorcerers, while fiercely countering the approaching elven cavalry.

The ten elven sorcerers riding unicorns simultaneously waved their hands, casting a large spray of green grass seeds. Seconds later, countless sharp blades of grass sprouted from the ground, densely covering the visible area and obstructing the pursuit of the red-haired knight.

The red-haired knight stepped back in frustration, watching the elves leisurely depart. She halted the swinging of the red light whip in her hand, and when her peculiar weapon dropped to the ground, Hede could finally see that it was two long whips connected by dozens of sharp, triangular blades. As the red-haired knight shook her hands, those blades quickly retracted and connected to form two long swords, each about 1.2 meters in length

These giant wolves run with astonishing speed, and their movements are extremely fierce. Several elven cavalry have already been bitten and scratched by them, while the archers on the elven side can barely pierce the fur of these giant wolves, let alone penetrate their flesh. Even when the elven cavalry swing their curved blades with all their might, they can only leave shallow wounds on the wolves' bodies. Once blood is drawn, these giant wolves become even more ferocious, and the pressure on the elven side instantly doubles.

She rode a particularly large and majestic red-furred giant wolf equipped with a saddle, loudly commanding six slightly smaller red wolves to attack the elves. These seven red wolves, varying in size, were agile, and their thick fur could not conceal the strong muscles rippling on their shoulders, backs, waists, and limbs. The smallest among them measured over 3 meters in length, while the medium-sized ones were not much smaller than the saber-toothed tigers ridden by the tall elves.

However, after witnessing the cold-blooded actions of these unparalleled handsome men and beautiful women, Hede found little mood for appreciation. The blade array formed by the elven magic withered and disappeared after a few minutes, and of course, the elves had long since vanished without a trace

This wolf girl is truly too foolish, or perhaps too kind-hearted. If only she would abandon her soldiers and those refugees, and focus entirely on attacking the elves, I believe the coalition of various races would not remain so passively at a disadvantage. However, that would result in significant casualties among those soldiers, he thought to himself, as an observer.

The multi-racial coalition riding six-legged lizards is making every effort; their mounts seem to lack explosive power, and their speed is far inferior to that of the elves' saber-toothed tigers. However, these heavily armored cavalry from various races are holding nearly two-meter-high giant shields, diligently repositioning to protect their comrades and the refugees within the inner formation, striving to avoid the swift assaults of the elven cavalry

Heidfu lay on the ground watching the small-scale armed conflict between the multi-racial coalition and the elves, feeling as though this world seemed somewhat familiar.

These should be mages? Although the power of their magic does not seem impressive, their speed is quite fast. Unfortunately, most of them can only perform direct attacks without the capability for automatic tracking.

The coalition of nearly one hundred diverse races mostly rides on enormous six-legged lizard-like beasts, forming a circular formation. They raise thick, massive shields and wield heavy swords to protect the fewer than twenty refugees within. These lizard knights include stout warriors resembling dwarves, standing less than 1.4 meters tall, as well as various orcs with two pairs of ears, and an unknown race with horned faces adorned with peculiar tattoos. Each one appears formidable and not easily provoked.

This is the sword of connection... ...'' Blackhead lay on the ground, watching the special weapon used by the red-haired knight. Having been immersed in anime and gaming culture for a long time before the transition, he naturally recognized this unique weapon.

A little closer in, there are approximately ten mages dressed in robe-style light armor, swiftly utilizing various amplification staffs in their hands to launch a barrage of spells such as fireballs and ice arrows, pouring forth towards the elves moving around the periphery
