The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 867 Chase

Alicia and a group of powerful elves arrived belatedly, and everyone they saw couldn't help but be moved, and their eyes were filled with cold light.

The main force of elves who pursued the defeated drow army was nearly 300,000, but the number that finally escaped completely was only 120,000 or 30,000. Such heavy losses meant that for the elves, their previous victory in conquering Hanfeng Hill City had become a joke. This time the elves went south this time. Zheng's attempt to severely injure the drow was almost impossible.

Seeing the remnants of the elves being fought like dumplings on the battlefield ahead, Alicia and other powerful elves wished they could take action now to save them from danger, but a dozen wilderness warriors led by Allen came towards them. , with a fierce glare of madness and coldness in his eyes, and he was getting ready to go.

"Sir Allen, are you sure you want to be an enemy of my kingdom?"

Alicia searched around, but she didn't see Besim coming to report the situation to her. Among the strong men in the army below, there was no trace of him in the night, and her heart inevitably sank.

For a moment, she didn't know what choice to make, so she could only brace herself up, raise her noble head and stare at Allen, and asked coldly.

"Ms. Alicia, please first clarify the fact that the place you are now has been the territory of our Mansha Wilderness since ancient times. The people you are attacking now are official members of our Mansha Alliance."

"You said that our northern tribes might stay out of the matter and let you defeat my alliance members one by one and annex my northern land?"

"What a joke!!"

Anyway, Allen is not in a hurry now. The fighting army below is finishing its work. After eating all the fat in his mouth, he will get down to business. Therefore, he is also happy to start a verbal war with these elves.

"good very good!!"

The expression on Alicia's face was so cold that it could almost freeze space, and the suppressed anger was burning in her heart, but there was nowhere to release it.

"I just hope that your Excellency will not regret it. The humiliation my kingdom has suffered today will be doubled in the future."

"Then I'll wait and see!!"

The remnants of the elves continued to evacuate to the rear. At this time, the morale of the army officers was not suitable for fighting anymore. Therefore, even if their own strong men came to support, the army command below still made a ruthless and rational decision to fight back.

The army has decided to evacuate, so Alicia and the dozens of strong men will naturally have no motivation to continue attacking. When the drow strongmen such as Penilei, Lillian and others from the rear also come back, they will fight with Allen and the others. After reuniting, Alicia and the others lost the motivation to fight.

The two sides were facing each other from a distance, watching helplessly as the last group of warriors in the besieged elf army was submerged in the sea of ​​drow and wilderness warriors. Alicia and the others looked increasingly embarrassed, but their helpless expressions were really... Let the drow matrons feel excited and amused.

Until the elven army completely disappeared on the horizon, Alicia and other strong men glared at Allen and others with resentment and malice, and then flew back unwillingly.

It's not that Allen and others don't want to pursue the victory, but the strength of the Thorns Alliance is limited. Although they achieved a great victory in this battle, the main force in the actual battle was the drow. The Thorns Army itself only took advantage of the surprise and wilderness. Many conveniences from the help of the strong.

As the main force of the attack, the drow had the support and cooperation of the wilderness army. They severely damaged the chasing elves, injuring 10,000 enemies and damaging 8,000 themselves. The losses of the drow army themselves in the war were actually not small, at least five. Thousands of soldiers have lost their combat effectiveness, and the remaining army of less than 200,000 is not much larger than the retreating elven army. The risk of continuing the pursuit may reverse the outcome of the war.

"I don't know how to thank Mr. Allen and the adults in the North for their help!"

Penile swayed at the waist, walking in the void as if on the ground, expressing her gratitude to Allen and the reinforcements with a smile.

"Mother Penile is too polite. In fact, even if we don't take action, you still have many ways to deal with the elves."

Allen followed the practices of the civilized world and complimented him politely.

"That's because your Excellency thinks highly of us. If the tribes in the north didn't pull out this army, we might have to retreat to the city of Bonn!"

"Hahaha"

The strong men in the sky were pretending to be polite, but the troops on the ground were cleaning up the battlefield and frantically searching for loot on the ground without causing friction.

When the Thorns Alliance was first formed, they were dragged onto the battlefield before they had completed basic training. Although they won a great victory in the end, I don't know whether to call them lucky or unlucky.

An initial count after the war showed that the Thorns Alliance Army, which was not the protagonist of the battlefield, numbered 130,000. In the end, it suffered losses of nearly 30,000 soldiers. Among them, the largest number of dead soldiers was about 20,000, and more than 9,000 people lost combat effectiveness due to injuries.

Initially, these warriors were still a little bit depressed, but as they began to search for loot after the war, and stripped exquisite armors, excellent weapons, and pieces of jewelry from the bodies of the dead and injured elves, the frustration in everyone's hearts suddenly disappeared, and at the same time, they also A little more joy of getting rich overnight.

At this time, the soldiers in the wilderness will not talk to the drow about their battlefield contributions. Everyone just wants to see who can grab enough loot with quick hands and feet. First come first served.

Although in the end, most of these trophies will be taken back by the officers, but even if they hand over the trophies, they will receive corresponding merits and will naturally be rewarded according to their merits when they return to the station.

The drow warriors were somewhat dissatisfied. They had taken the greatest risk, paid the greatest price, and made the greatest contribution, yet they had to be snatched away from their own mouths by these barbarians. Anyone would do it. Urgent.

Fortunately, the drow officers have great patience and already understood the importance of the wilderness to their federation when they made the plan earlier. Therefore, even though they themselves have a lot of complaints now, they still try their best to control their own soldiers. , which really gave the Thorns Legion some advantage.

In this cooperation between the drow and the Ring of Thorns, Mistress Penile and others have spent a lot of money, which further demonstrates their sincerity. If there is another disagreement because of a small amount of loot, I am afraid that it will not wait until Allen and others Angry, Pernilai and other people in charge were the first to jump out and cut the culprit into pieces to vent their anger.

The Ring of Thorns has a long history of distrust of drow. If they want to persuade Allen to lead this army to design elves together, it is impossible to impress Allen just by having a common opponent and interests.

The plan drawn up by the drow matrons was to give themselves the tasks with the greatest risk and the most intense fighting, while the tasks with the least relative risk and requiring moderate effort were given to the Alliance of Thorns.

This is not only to win the trust of the Ring of Thorns and convince them of the conditions for sending troops, but also to show an attitude to the Ring of Thorns. The Hosea Federation really wants to calm the people in the North and is really willing to pay the price to protect the North. Benefit.

Otherwise, based on actual combat capabilities, the Thorn Alliance army should not be hiding behind the elves' army, but should be fighting out from the southeast as a means to confuse the elves.

If the main backup force of the drow was hiding behind the elves, and they were responsible for intercepting the elven army, I am afraid that today's results would be even more brilliant, and at least 20,000 to 30,000 more elven warriors could be saved. Not to mention the guard battle at Coldwind Point, the subsequent escape, etc., these were all letters of surrender sent by the drow matrons to Allen and other members of the Ring of Thorns organization to prove their worth and their determination.

Perhaps only at this time can the members of the Ring of Thorns understand that the drow are closely related to their interests, and truly accept them as members of the North.

The drow matrons have made a good calculation. Even if their own losses are not small, they still have to find something to make up for it from other aspects. Originally, the other party helped them, but in the end, when the other party thinks about it deeply, they still feel that they owe a favor to them.

Although Allen did not fully understand the deeper things of the drow matrons, he was indeed very satisfied and appreciative of this cooperation.

After this battle, the Thorns Alliance gained a clear understanding of their own strength, and they will be able to have a clear target when retraining in the future. After the elves experienced this disastrous defeat, the threat to the North will be greatly weakened, at least for a short period of time.

At the same time, the Drow Federation has lost Cold Wind Point. Before the elf army evacuates, or before Zeng Yan's army from the Alliance arrives, they may have to shrink their troops and strength and hoard them in the city of Bonn, which is less than a thousand miles away from Nasir Fortress. The two forces respond to each other and take care of each other more calmly.

The Drow Legion had no way of competing with the Thorn Alliance for the spoils of war. After cleaning up the battlefield at will, they regrouped under the orders of their respective commanders and began to advance to the north.

"Mother Penile, Mistress Lillian. Do you want more?"

From a high altitude, Allen could clearly see the actions of both armies below. When he saw the drow army gathering and advancing, he couldn't help but ask.

"what?"

Following Allen's gaze, Pernilai and others looked back for a few glances, and then replied: "Oh! They are going to explore the strength of the elven army again to see the opponent's determination to capture Cold Wind Hill."

"If the other party is determined to establish a foothold in the north, then they will probably stick to the dilapidated Hanfeng Post. Then we must step up our defenses after we return!"

"If they evacuate northward after reuniting with the troops at Hanfeng Post, it means they don't have great ambitions for the northern border. They are mainly targeting our federation."

"At least from the other party's reaction, we can judge something and prepare for the next layout."

Pernilai smiled and explained to Allen.

"Then I'll let Albad and the others prepare their troops overnight and head north with your troops."

After hearing this, Allen felt that it made sense and offered to cooperate with the other party's actions.

"No, the battlefield here hasn't been cleaned yet. The wilderness army is still a guest, so let them stay and clean the battlefield!"

Penile, Lillian and other matrons shook their heads and replied politely.

Although the other party spoke beautifully, Allen saw a trace of contempt and sarcasm in the eyes of some of them. It was obvious that they had some contempt for the combat effectiveness displayed by the Thorns Legion before.

Allen himself is actually quite dissatisfied with the performance of the Alliance of Thorns on the battlefield, but he is dissatisfied but cannot let others look down upon the coalition. Moreover, this time he led the army to fight thousands of miles away, not to let this army Grind and grow in actual combat?
  Even if less than one-third of the 130,000-strong army is replaced in the final battle, Allen can accept it, as long as the last army can truly grow, like the 300,000-strong coalition army in the south last time. , if an elite team can survive in the end, it will all be worth it.

With the current population and development potential of the Ring of Thorns, it is not difficult to reorganize an army of more than 100,000 people, but it is necessary to create an elite military team from scratch that can truly compete with the four major civilizations and the Drow. , that can’t be achieved just by practicing diligently.

Before truly watching the growth of an iron army and truly feeling the strength of a powerful army, Allen did not think that his tribe could not cultivate and train an elite army.

However, when he actually saw the elite army, he realized that the strong green army he thought he thought was just a joke.

Let’s not talk about it, let’s just say that in this war, after I calmly killed the legendary elf knight commander, I thought I would be able to kill everyone in the elf army at will.

But after he entered the elven army, every time he used his big move, a group of brave warriors led by elite knights would always come forward and take the initiative to kill them. Although hundreds of people on the other side were often killed by his heavy sword. However, his ultimate move did not achieve the results he wanted.

After killing Besim, the leader of the elf army, Allen also withdrew from the state of divine power. The loss of faith caused by multiple consumption of divine power also made him keenly aware that the efficiency of spitting out the seeds of faith was much lower. Obviously, after many attempts at divine power, the reserve of faith power is running low.

It's right to think about it. It hasn't been long since I came back from the Centaur Grassland, and I have already felt that the power of faith is not enough on the grassland. At this time, my believers may not be able to gain much new power of faith.

Of course, his greater role in fighting left and right in the elven army is to stir up the opponent's formation and create better opportunities for the warriors of Thorns and Drow to kill the enemy. But in the end, looking back and looking at it, he actually died. There are far fewer elven warriors in his hands than he expected.

This is the strength of an elite army. Even without the legendary knights, an army like them will have its own fighting methods when facing the strong, instead of completely falling into the opponent's prey.

Although the overall strength of the human army that has been in contact for a longer time is not as much as that of the elven army, they also have their own methods of dealing with them and their own uniqueness.

Now that we have a reference, we can compare it with the army in the north, and the difference will become clear at a glance.

So according to Allen's character, now that he knows the strength of his own army and has mastered how to quickly build a truly elite force, he will naturally put it into action so that the North has a truly powerful force. self-preservation power.

When Allen was stationed in the south, he followed the 300,000 wilderness coalition troops to invade human territory. He watched how this army eliminated the weak and helped the strong grow in brutal battles. In the end, although more than half of the army was killed or injured, it was also the same. Let this army quickly grow into an existence that can rival the elite human army.

Having learned from this experience, Allen doesn't mind using the corpses of wilderness warriors to build a powerful army.

"Our son-in-law in the north will not take advantage of others in vain. If we share the spoils, we will naturally have to pay a corresponding price."

"So, there is no reason for us to stay out of the matter of testing the elven army!"

"Okay then, it's up to you, Your Excellency."
