The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 870 Timely
  The war was raging on the western border of the Dwarf Kingdom. The dwarf army, which had suffered two major defeats in succession, had to continue to shrink its position.

The news that the elven colleagues who invaded the north were defeated has reached the ears of the elven frontline generals. When the elven generals and commanders suddenly heard the news, they were first in disbelief, and then after repeatedly confirming the authenticity of the information, they brought With a bit of schadenfreude, I couldn't help but complain and ridicule my colleagues in the south.

At least the soldiers of their army, which is mainly attacking the Dwarf Kingdom, are making good progress and have advanced more than 500 miles according to the original plan. Especially their army of 500,000 people on the southern front. Because it is close to the Mansha Wilderness, there are few mountains like this. Although there are still many rolling hills along the way in the dangerous pass terrain, they are still much happier than their colleagues on the central and northern routes who face thousands of meters of towering mountains.

In ancient times, the dwarves chose to live in the eastern half of the Talon continent because of the continuous high mountains here, as well as the many mineral veins, underground volcanic lava and other geographical environments that coexist with the mountains.

Although the mountainous environment also has its disadvantages, such as the scarcity of land for farming and grazing, which makes food supply half the effort, etc., who makes the dwarves prefer to deal with stones and metals, they are happy with it.

It's just that for the elves who invaded the dwarf kingdom, not only the transportation over the mountains and ridges was very troublesome in terms of supplies, but also the daily march was a very draining matter of physical strength and energy.

Moreover, after years of operation by the dwarves, the dwarves have hollowed out the interiors of many steep mountain peaks and built fortresses hidden within the mountains, which really made it very uncomfortable for the elven soldiers who fought with them.

Such fortresses are like copper-ribbed tortoise shells, which often make the elves have no choice but to confront the opponent head-on, forcing them from the entrance of the fortress or simply splitting a mountain in the middle!

In other words, their southern route is all hilly and the terrain is relatively flat. There are not many fortresses built by the dwarves, which is relatively easier to attack. While the other two routes have only advanced more than 500 miles, they have already advanced more than 800 miles to the east. .

If it weren't for the coordination of the entire elf military plan to avoid disconnection on our own side, maybe the army led by Mario on the southern front could have advanced at least a hundred miles further.

Since the last time he was persuaded by the demigod mage Garros to mobilize the garrison of Thorn Castle to invade the Green Plains without authorization, and suffered a small defeat, Mario was punished by the kingdom and removed from his position of local power as the commander of Thorn Castle.

During this expedition, he also spent a lot of money to manage things up and down. In addition, the demigod Garros also felt that he owed Mario and made peace with him, which allowed him to take the position of the southern coach again.

It's just that the difficulty of the southern front is lower than that of the central and northern fronts, so the size of his army is far less powerful than the other two, and naturally he doesn't have as many meritorious achievements as the other two.

Coupled with the slow advancement of the other two lines, he was forced to slow down his offensive to cooperate with them, which left Mario with no fighting spirit and unable to put it to full use.

Of course, the advancement on the southern front is only relatively fast. The deeper they go into the heart of the dwarf kingdom, the stronger their will to resist and persevere becomes.

When he heard that the invasion of the wilderness army led by Besim was defeated and the news of his death spread to the southern front, Mario also thought that someone was making a joke. After confirming this fact, he felt sorry for the death of his colleague Besim. And sad, but couldn't help but be angry at the damage he had caused to the kingdom.

It was just a lone drow army and a group of barbarians who were basically unworthy. Why did the kingdom's excellent elite army suffer a defeat, and why did it lose more than 200,000 heroic elven warriors! !

"Besim really deserves to die!!"

"Let him die on the battlefield, it will be an advantage for him!!"

Among the elven armies that invaded the north, there were some troops drawn from the nearby Castle of Thorns. Mario had guarded the Castle of Thorns for many years. Although he had retreated a few years ago, many of the soldiers in it were cultivated by himself. Among so many soldiers who died in battle, , it is natural to have children whom you know.

Even though it had been several days since the news came, Mario felt a little angry every time he thought about it, and cursed through gritted teeth.

"asshole!"

The more Mario thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn't stop the anger in his heart. Finally, the legendary elf general couldn't sit still anymore and simply clapped his hands and called his commanders, preparing to bring bad luck to the dwarves.

"After being at a stalemate with those dwarves for so long, it's time to show them some color!"

"Pass my order. The entire army will be assembled before sunrise tomorrow and launch a general attack on Leverton Ferry!!"

"Yes!!"

Laifton Ferry was built on the eastern section of the Laocang River, the largest long river in the Dwarf Kingdom. The river is wide and the water flow is fast. Except for the relatively flat terrain near the ferry on both sides, there are mostly cliffs of 20 to 30 meters around.

Long before the elves arrived, the dwarves destroyed the ships in the western section of the ferry, using the geographical environment as an obstacle to block the elves from the western section.

The elven army forced the crossing several times to attack the dwarf stronghold in the eastern section, but without success. The rapid river water brought trouble to the elves beyond imagination. The elven soldiers, who thought they were good at water and had excellent physical strength, were intercepted by countless arrows and magic. , often without success and with considerable losses.

After several attempts to no avail, the elves had no choice but to give up their aggressive ideas and began to build ships using local materials step by step to prepare for the preliminary work of crossing the river.

There is no doubt about the execution ability of the elves. When the white sky above the rolling hills in the east appears, the elves' military camp stationed by the river is like a giant beast awakening. Countless warriors are fully dressed and step out, heading straight to the various buildings built in the past few days in the wide river. Plant large and small boats.

The dwarf inspection post on the opposite side also issued a warning in time, and there were also people in the fortifications behind the ferry. A large fleet of ships on the river, which were far more exquisite than those built by the elves, began to gather.

Wuwu~~wuwu~~
  Hundreds of boats fought for the current, and a ship shot out like an arrow. When the elven ship sailed into the middle of the several-hundred-meter-wide river, swarms of arrows and magic were shot from the direction of the dwarf position.

Some of the elves held shields, some cast spells, and built strong defenses in front of the ship. There were also unskilled part-time sailors rowing oars, and they also worked hard to move irregularly on the fast river, sometimes turning sharply. , sometimes go with the flow.

Many ships did not wait to approach the river beach to the east, but they overturned under the attack of the dwarves or even due to their own operating errors. The elven warriors on board fell into the river one after another, shook their arms and legs, and began to swim in the direction of the target. go.

The overturned ship did not sink to the bottom of the river. A long rope was dragged behind it. After the ships completed their mission, the soldiers on the west bank would drag them back and then transport the second group of soldiers across. .

Although doing so will have a considerable impact on the rowing sailors and consume more energy, the elf warriors are all at least level 8 or above, so this loss will have little actual impact on the subsequent battle.

The first batch of elven warriors who rushed to the beach and dock fought desperately, trying to build a buffer line of defense by the river. Various scrolls and magic props were thrown in front of them as if they were free, such as stone walls, mountains of earth, thorns and giant deer. Not long after it rose, the purification or dispelling magic and powerful magic of the dwarves on the opposite side also came. At the same time, dwarf warriors dressed like iron barrels came and crashed into the elves' defense line.

The elf warriors drifting with the current on the river behind them tried their best to buy even one more second, so that they could promptly reinforce the companions on the river bank to risk their lives and establish a relatively safe environment for all of them. The dwarves are also fighting for their lives. They know more clearly what a threat it will be to themselves if the elves are allowed to gain a foothold on the shore. Not to mention the natural disgust and hatred towards the invaders, which also allows the dwarves to always exert their best efforts. Very powerful.

After three waves of elves were sent to the other side, they finally found a place to settle in the tidal flats on the eastern front. What these few words contained was the loss of more than 20,000 elven warriors.

The battle on the river has never stopped. The vines, driftwood or solid ice transformed by magic have become the support for the elven warriors to move forward, but the dwarves are also constantly throwing magical items and even their unique talisman-type magic props. On the wide river channel, it stirs up its huge waves.

The strong men from both sides, who had clashed fiercely since the beginning of the battle between the ground warriors, consciously moved the battlefield away from the ferry. The soldiers from both sides were crowded at both ends of the narrow ferry. Whenever a legendary strong man came in unexpectedly, no matter which side it was. It won't feel too good.

The sun rose above the head from the east and then slowly set towards the west. One day passed, and the elven army's offensive progress was still slow.

"After dark, organize a general attack!"

In Mario's eyes, the injuries caused by fighting on the battlefield are just cold numbers. His years of experience as a general have already made him understand the cruelty of war, and victory can never be achieved without sacrifice.

What seemed like a fierce crossing of the river during the day was actually a smoke bomb released by Mario to confuse the dwarves. In fact, he mobilized only one hundred thousand troops that day. However, he mobilized troops very frequently, and it seemed as if he was constantly investing troops. However, there are actually more than 300,000 elites left who have been recuperating and waiting for the real war to come.

When night really fell, the dwarf defenders suddenly launched a fierce counterattack, trying to knock down some of the elves standing on the shore to the bottom of the water.

The elven army on the west bank saw the situation and immediately provided support. All kinds of magic, arrows, and even slings and giant crossbows flew across hundreds of meters of the river and smashed into the charging dwarf army.

The number of the huddled elven army was about to exceed ten thousand. Seeing the tens of thousands of dwarves coming, they also shrank their lines and consolidated their positions very smartly. However, the remote equipment behind the opponent was more powerful and the soldiers were stronger. Although the elves were Although they tried hard to hold on, they still couldn't escape the fate of being driven into the river by the dwarves.

The progress throughout the day was ruined, and both sides seemed to be back on the same starting line. After this incident, the elves gradually died down, and the dwarves also took advantage of the situation to repair the river defenses and clean up the corpses.
  Only the two strong men with more energy and physical strength were left, and they continued to fight fiercely in the distant sky. Occasionally, there were thunderous sounds, which made people's hearts tremble.

In the middle of the night, the mist condensed due to the sudden drop in temperature slowly wandered between the rivers, and under the pull of weak magic power, it shrouded a certain section of the river.

The intense fighting during the day made the dwarves somewhat tired, but the 300,000 elven soldiers who had been recuperating all day began to quietly slide to the bottom of the river under the cover of darkness.

"Enemy attack!!"

Woo~~

woooo~~~
  Although the movements of the elven army were concealed, it was very difficult for such a huge army to remain silent. When more than half of their army was in the water, the dwarf sentries on the opposite side who were on alert finally noticed something strange and blew the melodious horns.

But at this time, the vanguard of the army of elves entering the water was only one step away from the east coast. Now after hearing the warning from the dwarves on the east coast, he did not hesitate and immediately gathered all his strength and jumped towards the shore like an arrow.

The sudden attack made the dwarves panic. By the time their army launched a counterattack, the size of the elven army on the river bank had exceeded that of the lone army that had been standing guard during the day.

call out! !

A shining tracer floated above the head, cutting through the deep night sky, and making the undulating water in the wide river look particularly beautiful.

But for the dwarves, the beautiful scene in front of them was their most feared nightmare. The spellcasters in the army eagerly threw spells into the river, causing huge waves, but they were blocked by the magic and divine spells of the elven spellcasters on the opposite side. To eliminate.

The scene of the battle during the day was repeated in the night. Looking at more and more wet elf soldiers on the other side, Commander Mario's cold face gradually relaxed.

The size of the dwarf army stationed at this ferry is still far behind the elf army under his command. The fatigue tactics during the day made tonight's raid go smoothly. Now the elf army that has landed has become a phenomenon. With Mario's confidence in the elf army, There will definitely be gains.

Just when I was feeling complacent, suddenly the elven secret whistle posted on the outside of the west bank suddenly issued a rapid warning, and at the same time, a red firework suddenly rose. But before the magic firework could reach its highest point, a strong and fierce wind blew out. Destroy this firework with precision.

A few miles away to the south, a dozen strange and powerful auras suddenly appeared. Not only did they alarm the soldiers of both sides who were fighting on the battlefield, but also the powerful elves who had been fighting for a day on the horizon. The army garrison was speeding.

call! !

Several ghostly figures passed directly over the head of Mario's military camp, heading straight for the powerful elf running from afar. Before the man could even use a powerful move, he had already launched it, directly blocking the elf from returning to defense. path of.

"court death!!"

A strong elf's eyes flashed. Although he had not yet guessed the identity of this strong man who suddenly came to kill him, out of confidence in his own strength, a pair of scimitars in his hands also transformed into a sword curtain, scattering flowers like a goddess. Shoot forward.

The strong elf man only felt his eyes blurred. The figure rushing at the front had already arrived in front of him, and an exaggerated heavy sword fell down on his head without any fancy.

In a hurry, the strong elf slashed more than a dozen times with his two swords, and more than a dozen energy waves condensed together and merged into the light of the strong elf's last slash.

Boom! !

The violent wind and waves in the sky rose quickly, and a shock wave spread quickly. The few weak and powerful people around were affected by the shock wave and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

But the confident elf figure disappeared directly from everyone's eyes until there was a heavy and huge sound on the ground, and a small mushroom cloud rose up.
