Give and Take

The sounds made by the Forest Troll attracted the attention of the Highborne camp.

The Highborne reacted swiftly, quickly assembling an army to eliminate the invading Forest Troll and reporting the attack to their Forest Troll.

"Have the Forest Troll launched an attack?"

"How many of them are there?" Snyder asked.

"The garrison commander has led the garrison troops to wipe them out; there are several hundred of them," the guard said.

"Let the garrison wipe them out!" Dath'Remar said.

Dath'Remar was visibly agitated upon hearing that Troll had launched an attack.

"My brother, getting your people to safety is the most important thing now," Snyder said.

"Yes, I got a little carried away," Dath'Remar said, but in his heart he was already cursing Snyder.

"Let the people clean up as quickly as possible, even faster!"

Upon hearing the order, the guards withdrew and began to pass the orders on to the various captains.

"Alright, now you should pack up and get ready to join the main force to move over while I deal with these Troll," Snyder said.

He also signaled to the surrounding Highborne to take Dath'Remar away.

"This..." Dath'Remar was about to say something, but the Highborne around him led him away.

Seeing Dath'Remar being taken away, Snyder also headed to the battlefield with the Hand of the Bright Moon beside him.

The Highborne camp has been mostly cleared, and the civilians are ready to begin their migration.

All the armies were prepared and ready to march to their camps at any moment.

Daren Theron, who was at the front, also returned with his remaining troops and began organizing the evacuation of the masses.

The Hand of the Bright Moon, who was commanding the Highborne, also handed over command to Daren Theron, who had rushed over.

Snyder, carrying the Hand of the Bright Moon, arrived at the battlefield where the Forest Troll were fighting.

The Highborne ' garrison was engaged in battle with the invading Forest Troll.

The Highborne ' garrison was no pushover; they immediately overwhelmed the invading Forest Troll.

The Forest Troll also suffered losses, as their varying Forest Troll prevented them from launching effective attacks.

Often, it takes two Forest Troll Warrior from a small clan to hold off a Highborne Warrior, while a Warrior from a large clan can hold off a Highborne guard single-handedly.

Amani Clan Warrior could overpower two Highborne Warrior, but because their numbers were relatively small, they couldn't influence the overall battle.

The scales of victory were tipping toward the Highborne, and when Snyder joined the battle, victory completely turned in their Highborne.

Snyder immediately began casting a spell to summon the power of lightning, and arcs of electricity began to appear on his hands.

"Crackling, crackling," the sound of lightning rang out in his hands.

The lightning grew larger and the sound louder. Once the lightning was fully gathered, Snyder Snyder his hands and launched Chain Lightning as thick as a bucket.

The Forest Troll that were hit didn't even have a chance to scream before they were instantly turned into charred remains. And that wasn't all; after the Chain Lightning dealt with one Forest Troll Forest Troll, it jumped onto the others.

Upon seeing this, the Highborne garrison laid down their weapons and began to enjoy this "feast."

When the spell ended, not a single Forest Troll Warrior remained alive on the entire battlefield; the air was thick with the smell of charred remains and roasted meat.

"Thank you for your help, Lord Snyder," the Highborne captain said as he ran over.

"No need to thank me. You could have accomplished your mission perfectly well even without my help," Snyder said to the Highborne captain.

"These Forest Troll are no match for us; their strength varies greatly, and they pose no threat whatsoever." The Highborne guard captain was pleased to hear Snyder's praise.

"Alright, now that the invading Forest Troll have been defeated, you should quickly go and report to Daren Theron."

"We're moving soon," Snyder said.

"Yes, sir." Upon hearing Snyder's words, the Highborne garrison captain led his troops toward Daren Theron.

"Let's go too," Snyder said, glancing at the charred remains of the battlefield, before leading a squad of Hand of the Bright Moon away.

They went to where Dath'Remar was and continued to keep an eye on him to ensure the situation didn't get out of control.

After both groups left, a bush on the battlefield stirred.

A heavily wounded Forest Troll crawled out of the bushes.

The Forest Troll's upper body had been charred by Snyder's Chain Lightning, but thanks to the Forest Troll's powerful regenerative abilities, he survived and didn't become one of the charred remains on the battlefield.

Ultimately, it was his good luck. The Chain Lightning had almost been neutralized by the Forest Troll' bodies, and he managed to survive because he used a large tree to block the lightning bolts when they were aimed at him.

The sole survivor of the Forest Troll began to retreat step by step, hoping only that Bandersson's main force would arrive soon.

The heavily wounded Forest Troll slowly walked backward, but the charred remains on half of his body caused him immense pain.

Finally, he encountered the large force led by Bandersson.

"My lord, I have crucial information," said the heavily wounded Forest Troll, barely clinging to life.

Although most of Snyder's spells were blocked, it wasn't so easy to block them all. His internal organs had been charred. It was only because the Forest Troll had such strong vitality that he wouldn't have been able to hold on until now.

Bandersson saw the heavily wounded Forest Troll, he immediately cast a healing spell, but it had no effect.

"My lord, among those elves was a powerful sorcerer. He unleashed a powerful lightning spell, and all our Warrior perished under its power," said the heavily wounded Forest Troll.

"Those elven troops are about as strong as the soldiers of those great clans, and even the Warrior of the Amani Clan can take on two at once." After saying this, the heavily wounded Forest Troll breathed his last.

"Bury him; he brought us important intelligence." Bandersson ordered his two guards to bury the Forest Troll.

"Keep going! We must keep him hooked," Bandersson commanded.

The group of Forest Troll continued their advance, but they were still a step too slow.

The Highborne camp was empty; the elves, under the command of Daren Theron, had begun their relocation.

"It seems this map is no longer of any use," Bandersson said, looking at the map in his hand.

But I have a second plan.

Surrounded by numerous Amani Trolls, a Loa priest stepped forward.
