Chapter 270 - The Dead Are Resurrected
"The elven soldiers have been resurrected?"
Timus was slightly stunned, he spoke as if he was talking to himself, but also at the same time, confirming it to the soldier again.
Due to the soldier who had seen the battle between Timus and the elven queen with his own eyes, he was still very respectful to Timus. Naturally, he immediately took the initiative to answer Timus' question.
"That's right, they've been resurrected!"
"A large number of elven soldiers' corpses suddenly stood up from the ground, as if..."
At this point, the fear on the soldier's face became even more intense, and his face became very pale, as if he had recalled the scene at that time.
He swallowed his saliva and finished the sentence that he had not finished just now in a trembling voice "It's like... a monster!"
Hearing the soldier's trembling words, the officials could not help but discuss in low voices.
"Can the elven soldiers actually come back from the dead?"
"I've never heard of such a thing. Is he... lying?"
"This guy might be a spy sent by the enemy!"
"Birth, old age, illness, death... This has always been the true cycle of nature. How can there be a dead person who can come back from the dead? It's unbelievable, completely unbelievable!"
Obviously, most of the officials completely refused to believe this news. After all, resurrecting the dead was way beyond their understanding in life.
Meanwhile, Harold frowned and did not hastily come to a conclusion. At such a time, as the ruler of a country, Harold naturally had to maintain his calmness to be able to better judge the current situation. If he messed up on his own, it would cause immeasurable consequences for the entire country.
He had to remain calm!
Harold took two light breaths and looked at the soldier as he spoke, "Don't be nervous, just tell me what you saw."
The soldier was very anxious when he heard the officials whispering to each other. He had clearly brought back the information, so why did these officials not believe him? They even thought that he was a spy sent by the enemy.
However, right now, he had been appeased by the king. He did not do anything extreme, and tried to tell the story in detail..
...
At that time, the morale of the entire human soldiers had reached its limit. The depression that had appeared because of General Henry's death had been completely swept away!
One had to know that this battle was a success as they killed the enemy's supreme leader!
What kind of concept was this? This had not only affected the small battle, but it had completely affected the huge war and even the structure of the continent.
In the next period of time, the entire elven race would be in a very weak position. Even if the human race did not exterminate the elven race this time, but in the next few decades or so, or even hundreds of years, all the races that were at odds with the elven race would attack the elven race.
No one would give up this supreme opportunity to suppress the elves. It could be said that the battle that killed the elven queen was a battle that could be recorded as an epic moment in history!
Of course, this was only part of the reason. The reason for the high morale of the human race was mostly due to something more practical.
That was their strength! Now, all the human soldiers felt as if they had endless strength. They felt that their hearts were filled with courage and their hands were filled with strength. Even after fighting for so long, they did not feel tired at all.
Most of them did not know what the reason was at first, but soon, they thought of the sword in Gilroy's hand.
Obviously, it was this sword that gave them such great power!
After understanding this, they even tacitly accepted Gilroy as the temporary leader. After all, Gilroy was the hero who took the sword from the queen!
Although Gilroy was only a soldier, he was still a little nervous to be suddenly treated as a temporary general by all the soldiers. However, he was not an idiot. After understanding the responsibility he had to shoulder, Gilroy immediately calmed down and made a series of decisions.
First, he had to seize the opportunity to pursue an attack. He absolutely could not wait for orders from the rear before they acted. At that time, once the elf soldiers returned to their senses, it was very likely that they would launch an even fiercer counterattack!
What they had to do was try their best to suppress them and take the initiative into their own hands.
Therefore, Gilroy decided to lead these soldiers to continue attacking the elves! In response, the soldiers naturally immediately responded to Gilroy's command.
Before they continued to attack, Gilroy's calmness and flexible mind once again played a role. He immediately found a few soldiers and told them to immediately return to the city of Light and report the current situation to the king.
On one hand, as soldiers, they could only report the situation back. After all, Gilroy's order was only a temporary decision. The real decision had to be made by the king.
On the other hand, it was because he wanted to avoid being suspected by those who had intentions. If he did not send his soldiers back to the City of Light to report the situation and bring back the latest orders, he would probably be charged with treason.
Under such a charge, even the most powerful minister in the palace would be immediately executed, let alone a small soldier like him.
Therefore, Gilroy had to do it. However, just as he made up his mind and planned to lead the human soldiers in the charge, an accident happened.
The originally clear sky suddenly became dark. A large number of dark clouds gathered from all directions and covered their heads. All the human soldiers felt a sense of unease at this moment. Gilroy frowned and stared at the sky.
In the next moment, a strange green light suddenly lit up from the sky and covered the battlefield. Then, the first elven soldier slowly got up from the ground. Then, the second, the third, and the fourth.
At this moment, a shocked expression appeared on the human soldiers' faces as well as Gilroy's. They saw a large number of elf soldiers get up from the ground.
After all, these elves were killed by them personally. Not only were many of the elves' arms and legs broken and their stomachs cut open, some even had their heads chopped off.
But at this moment, they stood up.
And... They were walking towards the human soldiers!
At this moment, the shock on all the soldiers' faces turned into fear. They had never seen these people who could come back from the dead. Panic immediately took over their hearts.
At the same time, the elven soldiers who were originally chasing the elven soldiers all suddenly charged back.
The shouts of killing immediately resounded throughout the entire battlefield.
Within this atmosphere of chaos, Gilroy gave a crucial order at the critical moment.
"Everyone prepare to fight, cover your allies, and send the information back to the City of Light!"
