"This is really hard to walk, it's not a road!" Alamil complained, while carefully avoiding the cracks on the ground to avoid falling in. At the same time, he should also be careful not to be scratched by the thorns beside him. In fact, his arm had been scratched just now and had to tear off a strip of cloth from his clothes as a bandage to tie the wound. The faint pain in his arms made his face look very bad.

Abel, who was walking in front, was waving the elves scimitar in his hand, cutting off some of the thorns that blocked the way, opening up a path that could barely pass through. These thorns were very hard, and even if the elves scimitar from the Netherel Empire in Abel's hand was very obscure and it took a lot of effort to cut off these thorns as thick as an arm.

Hearing Alamil's complaint, Abel couldn't help but stop and said panting: "There is no way. If you still have the strength to complain, why don't you change it with me? How about you going to open the way?"

Abel said as he wanted to hand the scimitar in his hand to Alamil and let him open the way.

Alamil looked at the scimitar handed to him by Abel. Although his scratched arm hurt slightly, the pride of the high elf made him grit his teeth. He still reached out to hold the scimitar handed to Abel, and took the scimitar to open the way.

Abel looked at Alamil with some surprise, but did not expect that this high elf would take the initiative to take over the task of opening the way, which made Abel look at him a little differently.

However, Eber did feel very tired, so he did not refuse Alamir. He allowed Alamir to take the elf scimitar and walk in front to open the way. He took out the water bag and poured some clear water into his mouth to restore his fatigue.

"This thorn is very strange. I can't feel their will!" Chandi, who was originally walking behind Eber, wiped the low sweat on his face and said to Eber with a tired look on his face.

At this time, Chandi's face was very bad, as if she was acting even more tired than Abel who had been opening the road.

"Can't feel their will?" Abel was stunned for a moment, then realized what Chandi said, and asked in surprise: "Are you saying you can't communicate with them? This shouldn't be true. Even if these are the thorns born by the God of Wildness with divine power, they are still plants and belong to a part of nature. As a wood elves, you shouldn't have such a problem. Have you encountered this situation before?"

Chandi shook her head and reached out and pressed her hand on a thick thorn again to try to communicate with it, but she still felt nothing, as if the thorn had died.

"These thorns are still full of vitality, but they give me the feeling that they are dead. This state is something I have never seen before!" Chanti explained to Eber. Her fatigue was exacerbated again by the movement just now, and her steps seemed to be heavy.

Looking at Chanti's appearance, Abel couldn't help but shouted to Alamil, who was struggling to cut the thorns, "Stay a break, recover your strength and go before you go. If you continue like this, I'm afraid you two will not be able to withstand it."

After Abel said that, he handed the water bag to Chandi, and sat down on the ground.

Alamil gasped and sat down while holding his injured arm. After putting the scimitar in his hand aside, he asked Abel with a strange feeling: "This thorn gives me a strange feeling. They seem to be dead, but they are still repelling me. This feeling makes people feel bored. It seems that every step requires more effort than usual. Don't you feel it?"

"This is the barrier left by the God of Wild when he built this long thorn wall. This long thorn wall will refuse all high elves to approach and pass through it. Any high elves who approach it will instinctively feel disgusted and irritated. This is the key to the long thorn wall that can stop high elves for seven hundred years." Chanti drank some water, and seemed to be better. Hearing Alamir's complaint, he explained to him.

Hearing Chanti say this, Abel seemed to have figured out something, so he spoke, "According to Chanti, you, Alamir should not be able to enter this thorn, but now that he can come in, Asuan's army can also cross this long wall of thorns to attack Averen, it proves that the barrier left by the God of Wilderness has been invalidated, and at least the effect has been greatly reduced. It seems that the impact of the God of Wilderness has been more serious than I thought."

"So this long thorn wall is actually dead, right? They are just still alive, but their will is dead?" Chanti suddenly felt an inexplicable sadness, as if crying for this long thorn wall.

"I don't know, maybe it's just these damaged parts. In any case, the most important thing for us now is to pass through this thorn and arrive at Averren, and other things can be discussed later." Aber didn't know if what Chanti said was true, but he was more concerned about how long it would take to get out of this long wall of thorns: "How long will we go? The range of this long wall of thorns is wider than I thought."

"I don't know, no one has ever tried to cross the long wall of thorns, but if you walk from the pass, it will take at least one morning to cross the entire pass." Chanti explained to Eber, and added: "We should have gone almost halfway through it. We should be able to walk out before dark, as long as we have not deviated from the direction."

"Then eat something, let's continue walking when you have rested, and try to get out before dark." Abel said, taking out some dried meat from his body and giving it to Chanti and Alamir.

———————————————————————

While Abel and his three men were working hard to cross the long wall of thorns, the army of the high elves was also working hard to break through the defense line of the wood elves.

After having had enough of the endless harassment of the rangers, the generals of the High Elves finally ordered the soldiers to cut down all the trees around the barracks and marching routes. Although this consumed a lot of manpower, after dispatching the mage group to accompany the army, they still successfully completed the clearance of the forest, which made the advance of the high elves smoothly. Although they still could not break through the defense lines of the Shiraishi Valley and Kingdom Avenue, at least the situation improved a lot. At least the generals did not have to receive reports of casualties caused by the harassment of the rangers every day.
