The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 857
  The Ring of Thorns has been meeting very frequently in the past month or so. Except for the Heart of Desolation, which has insufficient conditions, the members of each tribe have simply sent a legendary representative to the Namur Fortress to communicate with Green Field at any time. Solve the problem.

You must know that the warriors recruited by each tribe are already in place. Just to avoid the eyes and ears of the elves, the location for the army assembly was chosen in the deadwood forest of the Amansha tribe adjacent to the Green Field Plain, a rarely inhabited swamp basin.

Only the two tribes in the Nasir Fortress, which were closest to the front line, did not avoid the observation of others when recruiting and forming the army. Even the training exercises were carried out openly and openly on the city walls, shouting to kill the sky all day long.

There are many areas that require coordination, such as the low-level leader officers in the army. Originally, each tribe had its own candidates, but in the end Allen proposed to pass the military assessment and screening, and most of them were screened out at once, and only a few actually had real talents. At the same time, It is also the talents cultivated by the family who remain in the team.

Many of the positions that were cleared were finally replaced by knights from the Knights of Green Academy after some exchanges.

Of course, Allen also took the opportunity to promote the Knight Academy to all ethnic groups, inviting outstanding talents from all ethnic groups to come to school, receive formal education, and lay a solid foundation for the future of the army.

In fact, since various tribes established a joint army for law enforcement, they have consciously cultivated military talents within their own tribes. Even the Knights Academy in Green Lake Town has a small number of people sent by families that have long held military power from each tribe to study. student.

It's just that because knight talents have little value among tribes and their development space is limited, each tribe has tended to cultivate them in their own tribes in recent years.

".Tell everyone good news."

In order to keep an eye on the movements of the elves in the north, Allen returned to the Namur Fortress to take charge. On the Green Lake side, Kerr was left in charge. The remaining Swara and Albad quietly sneaked south, fighting with The Ring of Thorns United Legions gathered together to train this new army.

As soon as he received the latest intelligence from Mansha City, Allen convened a meeting with members of the organization to share the news about the beautiful city with them.

"The alliance has reached a consensus and decided to reinforce 200,000 troops to our northern border. It will also allocate an equal number of armed equipment and luggage that can be used by a population of 500,000 for more than half a year."

"Although the size of the army is a little smaller, after all, the alliance has recruited twice in the past two years, with a total of more than 600,000 soldiers. Now it is very good to be able to recruit another 200,000 troops for the northern border."

"As I analyzed with you last time, the alliance's support this time is a good opportunity for us in the north. It may not be easy to have such an opportunity in the future."

"So if there is a chance, I will put our manpower into the supporting army and use the collected materials to strengthen our tribes."

"When the time comes, the elite soldiers who have been eliminated through actual combat will be the talents we can recruit and absorb. Everyone must be prepared in advance. Let's compete fairly to see who can retain these talents."

"Your Excellency, most of these reinforcements have their own tribes. It will not be easy for us to win over them!"

A group of representatives listened to the news that Allen said, all with happy faces, but when Allen continued to remind everyone of the benefits, the lizardman commander Jerang couldn't help but express his concerns.

The lizardman race is not a big race in the wilderness. It is far inferior to the number of races such as gnolls, kobolds and goblins. As Allen is now talking about attracting talents, although it is attractive to him, But not big enough.

Allen raised his head and glanced around. Except for Tim and the kobold commander Egard, who were very interested, the other members were somewhat flickering. They seemed to be far less interested in this than in the distribution of materials.

"As long as you are determined to do anything, there is hope of success, right?"

"The warriors recruited by the alliance are basically from vassals of members of various tribes. The proportion of warriors from this tribe will not be too high, especially since our northern border has never been taken seriously by the alliance. Although it is difficult to provide reinforcements this time due to pressure, the strength of this army I don’t have too many expectations about the quality.”

"Since we are vassals of the tribes that are official members of the alliance, it is not difficult for us to win over these warriors. Next, we have to fight with the elves. The more strength we have, the less one of our tribe will die in the future. Isn't this the case? Is it worth everyone’s effort?”

Allen sighed secretly in his heart, feeling somewhat disappointed with these short-sighted guys. Apparently they still held on to their inherent ideas and still believed that only the blood of their own race was the most reliable, and they would be somewhat discriminatory towards warriors of other races.

Only the Temple Church, which herds lambs and regards every wilderness native as the source of its faith, will not care about the differences in race and blood and treat the wilderness natives equally.

As for Allen himself, at first he was just envious of the harmonious coexistence of multiple races in Mansha City. The alliance seemed very powerful, so he thought about making the Green Field Tribe into an existence similar to Mansha City.

However, as he embarked on another path, countless faces of different races gradually appeared in his existence, and he had another important reason to accommodate and absorb foreign races into his tribe or camp.

"As for supplies, we can give priority to arming our army, so everyone should pay more attention to the training of the army and restrain the spoiled brats in the army!"

".yes!"

"In addition to the good news, there is also bad news coming at the same time. Let's think carefully about the potential meaning of this bad news."

"The newly reinforced elf army in Thorn Castle is already in place. The total number of troops exceeds 300,000, and there are more than 20 ancient war trees accompanying them."

"If you include the more than 200,000 elven troops stationed outside Hanfeng Post, once the two armies are combined, their overall strength will far exceed that of the Drow Federation!"

"I have a negative attitude towards how binding the contract signed by the elves with us is, because I was ready to tear up the contract from the beginning."

"We have made this plan ourselves, so I think the elves may not have much intention to abide by the contract, otherwise there would not be more than 20 ancient war trees in their army!"

"When they really want to defeat the Drow, they will go south to attack the Nasir Fortress. If we are not ready, we will probably be wiped out by them!"

".."     Everyone was silent and felt sad.

"Although the alliance has reached a consensus and will send additional troops to the northern border, according to the alliance's habit of procrastination, it will take less than half a year or a year for these reinforcements to finally arrive. I'm afraid it will be difficult to gather them together."

"At this time, the outcome of the battle between elves and drow has already been decided. Therefore, we should not have high expectations for reinforcements from the alliance. We still have to focus on our own strength!"

"After we go back, everyone"

The meeting ended quickly, and the representatives who had gained something each returned to each other's residences, or simply went south in person and returned to their tribes to report today's news to the leaders.

Allen was not idle either. After returning to the city lord's palace and giving some advice to Brennan, he walked out of the castle and flew into the sky, heading straight to the south.

For more than a month, the fighting between elves and drow became more and more intense, but it was still in a relatively controlled state.

The elves did not move much because the ancient trees of war that they used as siege weapons had not yet arrived, and the elven warriors, who were very strong individually, were still a little weak in things like siege.

After all, whether they are elves or drow, it generally takes more than forty years for them to reach sexual maturity. Although their life span is the longest among intelligent races, their reproductive capacity is the worst among the four major civilized races.

The difficulty in reproducing naturally means that they care about the loss rate, so whenever they make various major plans, they always give priority to the casualties of their own warriors.

Especially for head-to-head battles like city sieges, the elves will make solid preparations. When the siege equipment is not yet in place, they will definitely tend to test the attack, and it is best to lure the drow out of the city to fight.

The drow himself was not ready, and was just happy to be dragged along with the elves in front of the Cold Wind Ridge city, while the relatively safe front line of Bonn City was intensively raising resources and troops, and was always ready to reinforce the Cold Wind Ridge.

The total population of the Hogia Federation is nearly two million, but in fact the actual number of drow is less than half a million. Excluding the elderly and young children, there are only three truly capable drow warriors. More than 100,000.

As for the majority of the races in the Federation, apart from a small number of gray dwarves and semi-drows with other mixed bloodlines, the majority are underground stone-dwarf slaves who have little fighting power and are not suitable for living on the surface.

The Shi'e people are a kind of inferior race who are born blind and rely on planting plants underground for a living. Their individual strength is so weak that they can compete with dwarves, and their personality is too docile. They can be used as slaves, but they must If you want them to be warriors, except for a few with extraordinary talents, the vast majority of Shi'e people have no fighting ability.

Therefore, all the troops that the drow can mobilize are only slightly stronger than the elves who are currently under the cold wind hill. Naturally, they will not act rashly.

Of course, the drow are also restless in their hearts. They are also worried about the arrival of the follow-up army of elves. At that time, the drow may be caught in a tragic war.

Intelligence from the elves in the country continued to reach the hands of the drow. After knowing that the opponent's army was approaching the Castle of Thorns and would soon join the frontline elves, the drow matrons could no longer sit still and continued to send out messages to the Church of the Temple of Nature. Asking for help, he contacted Allen many times, hoping that they could take action as soon as possible.

The mobilization of military forces within the Ring of Thorns organization was not only hidden from the elves, but also from the drow. In the eyes of the drow matrons, the group of wilderness natives in the south have not done much until now, leaving them with no idea about their relationship with the bears. There was no confidence in the consensus reached by the goblin leaders.

Asking for help from others is better than asking for help yourself. Outsiders are ultimately unreliable. Zhuoer, who is already suspicious and sensitive, asked for help several times, but the person in charge of Luye found various reasons to shirk it. What else can be said about the reason?
  Speeding all the way, he soon felt the breath of beating war drums. Allen lowered his figure from a distance and instead approached the foot of Hanfeng Hill on foot. A shocking fight and battle was taking place in front of Hanfeng Hill.

The two elite armies had similar faces but different skins. They wore standard armor with different colors. Perhaps the only thing that was the same was the look of disgust and hatred in their eyes, as well as the killers who spare no room.

In more than a month, the main force of drow has completed the preparations for gathering in Cold Wind Ridge. Although the elves intend to besiege the city, there is not much difference in strength between them, and the drow fighting in the local area has the advantage. , so the elves will naturally not be stupid enough to divide their own army and give their opponents the opportunity to divide and encroach.

Several black dragons who had formed a blood alliance with the drow transformed into their true forms, wearing heavy armor tailor-made for them to protect their vitals. They were the first to plunge into the elves' queue, and were finally transformed into giants, dragons, etc. by the strong elves. Being equal, they stubbornly withstood the opponent's impact and avoided the danger of the elf army being torn apart.

There were nearly ten behemoths, and every move and move could cause violent waves, frightening groups of soldiers from both sides to avoid the ground where the other side was fighting and find another battlefield.

In the sky, more than a dozen drow strong men, led by the demigod mother Pernilai, also fought with the strong team of elves. Both sides had similar talents and abilities. The sky was filled with magical halos and whistling arrows. .

The figures of sword dancers and strong archers were like ghosts, wandering around a small number of melee warriors, shield warriors and other combatants. Every time they made a move, they went straight to the opponent's vital points. The slender figures danced on the tips of the swords, still maintaining elegant postures.

But in fact, the most brutal battle was fought between a sea of ​​ordinary warriors from both sides. The desolate wilderness had long been stained scarlet with blood, and the dense arrows above the head blocked the skylight, making it seem like they were in the rain. In the sky.

Elves and drow have always pursued speed and flexibility, and their legion fighting style is different from the style that Allen experienced in the human world.

Human beings are limited by the shortcomings of individual combat power, but they also have advantages such as overall quality and sufficient knight officers. Therefore, when fighting on the battlefield, they always fight steadily, looking for weaknesses in their opponents while defending, and accumulate small victories step by step through the excellent qualities of commanders on the battlefield. Ultimately turned into an advantage.

However, the legions of elves and drow are more accustomed to flexible formations, like bone-scraping steel knives, tearing and cutting flesh at the weak points of the opponent's legion again and again.

The two armies with the same style now used the vast wilderness of dozens of miles as the stage. Sometimes they transformed into sharp arrows that flew back and forth, and sometimes they transformed into wandering eagles that flew away with a single strike.

Coupled with the various blessing magics in the legion that never rest, the two armies are like tireless machines, never staying in one position for too long.

Allen hid in the canopy of a tree in the distance and peeped to observe. At the roots of the tree under his feet, there were two bodies of elf scouts lying on the ground, and a moist and sweet breath slowly rippled out.
