The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 872 Elf counterattack
  "This is impossible!!"

"How could those dirty black-skinned and wild barbarians appear in the territory of the Dwarf Kingdom?"

"Come here!! Assemble the cavalry regiment and head to Hanfenggang City immediately to see the new construction of Hanfenggang"

In the elf military camp outside Thunder Town, a louder roar came from a military tent in the center. Listening to its tone, it sounded a little angry.

The Roaring Elf was the acting commander-in-chief of this team that had just been defeated and lost its coach. He was temporarily promoted by the Countess Alicia, the highest-ranking knight in the army. It was rare for a middle-aged elf to take the position of commander-in-chief and hold sole power. There was no sign of joy at this time. Love, I feel more the weight of the burden on my shoulders.

Just like the thin piece of paper he is holding in his hand now, it seems light and weightless, but the psychological pressure it brings to the middle-aged elf and a dozen other colleagues in the tent is extremely strong.

"Let us go!"

Alicia, the demigod archer who was once so heroic in battle, now looked haggard and heavy. She raised her hand to interrupt the acting coach's words and said without any doubt.

Before the words were spoken, Alicia had already stood up and walked out, followed by three or four powerful elves who walked out of the military tent.

"...If this information is true, it is a dereliction of duty on the part of all of us here. Coupled with the fact that we suffered a disastrous defeat last time, the kingdom may not let us go lightly."

"It is inevitable to accept punishment from the kingdom, but!! We are on the front line now, and we must do something to make up for our negligence!"

"Let's all discuss together how we should act next."

After all, he is the acting general, and his prestige and style of conduct have not changed yet. The middle-aged elf named Jeremy gradually calmed down after a roar, and changed to a relatively gentle tone and pointed at the center of the military tent. Shapan said to his colleagues around him.

"Since the drow and the armies in the north have all gone north to support the dwarf kingdom, maybe their headquarters is empty right now, and we should take the opportunity to go south."

"With our more than 200,000 troops now, which city do you want to attack? Bonn City or Nasir Fortress?"

"There are only sixteen ancient war trees left. There is no time for other siege equipment to be withdrawn from Hanfeng Hill. Even if the opponent's main force has gone north, I don't think our current strength can."

".They just calculated that we don't dare to attack their city with the existing army."

"Otherwise, we might as well recruit the 100,000 defenders in Thorn Castle, so that we have the strength to attack Bonn City or Nasir Fortress!"

"Anyway, the reinforcements from the Kingdom will arrive at Thorn Castle in a month and a half at most, just in time for them to supplement the strength of Thorn Castle guards."

".I think we should go north to join up with General Mario's army. With our army joining us, we will definitely be able to defeat the wilderness and dwarf armies under the Warhammer Fortress head-on."

The seven or eight elf generals in the field seemed to be stimulated by the northern front intelligence. After Jeremy proposed to discuss everyone's next plan, they all expressed their opinions. Sometimes the people in the field clapped their hands because they had the same ideas, and sometimes because There were disagreements and fierce quarrels.

Two or three magic hours passed, and before everyone could fully discuss a result, Alicia, who was dressed in dust, opened the door curtain and walked in with a gloomy face.

"My Lord Count."

"We were deceived by the drow and the wilderness. Their military camps are all empty, leaving only a wolf cavalry of more than a thousand people and two or three legends there!"

"Just when a few of us made a move to attack and test, their wolf cavalry burned the military tent, abandoned the fortifications they built, and evacuated to the south under the cover of the legend who stayed behind!"

"Damn black skin!!"

Curses rang out again in the field, until Alicia couldn't help but exude the powerful aura of a demigod and enveloped the military tent.

"What's the use of just getting angry? The most important thing now is to come up with a plan and see what else we can do!!"

Alicia felt helpless in her heart. For the first time in her hundreds of years of life, Alicia felt that the world was difficult.

"We are also discussing this issue, and there are three paths before us."

"First, continue to wait here for the arrival of reinforcements from the Kingdom. The order from the military department two days ago instructed that the Kingdom will send another 200,000 troops south, and they will be able to reach Thornburg in one and a half months."

"The second is to recruit the Thorn Castle garrison on the spot. The garrison and reserve army in the city can number about 100,000. After adding them to our army, we will have the strength to attack the northern city."

"Article 3: Our existing troops abandon military operations in the north and head north to Warhammer Fortress to join General Mario for a decisive battle with the main force of the dwarves' southern border and the wilderness reinforcements!"

"Then have you made a decision?"

"At present, we have given up on the first and safest path and focus on the second and third plans."

"So which plan do you focus on?"

"During the discussion among the seven of us, three agreed on the second item and three agreed on the third item."

"What about you?"

"I prefer the second option, but in this case, I'm afraid you will need to put pressure on the Guard Commander of Thornburg! Although I am acting as commander, the Kingdom's military department has not issued a formal appointment or dismissal, so we cannot order it."

"I'll handle this!"

Alicia nodded, but asked a little uneasily: "If you take away the troops from Thorn Castle, how will Thorn Castle be defended?"

"The 200,000 troops from the kingdom's headquarters will arrive in just over a month. At that time, they can temporarily replace the garrison for guarding."

"Although there is a vacuum period of more than a month, the main forces of the dwarves and the wilderness are currently killing four people at Warhammer Fortress. They will wait until they get the news before sending troops to attack Thorn Castle. That will be more than half a month later."

"And if we can have these 100,000 fresh troops join us, we will have a great chance of capturing their cities while the defenses of Drow and Nasir Fortresses are vacant!"         "By then, Drow and Wilderness will inevitably be forced to withdraw, Mali The pressure on General Ao and the others will naturally be relieved."

"Of course, the risk would be higher with the second route."

"Okay, I will go to Thorn Castle to meet with the guard commander now. You will start preparing for the expedition. I hope that when the Thorn Castle defenders arrive in the capital, you will have made all preparations and this plan will be completed! "

After Alicia asked about Jeremy's attitude, she stopped listening to his other explanations. Since she was not a military figure, it was difficult for her to get involved in military plans. The only thing she could do was to give them sufficient support.

Moreover, their second option seems to be more feasible. If successful, it will be especially beneficial to the kingdom, which is enough.

"Yes! I promise you"

The road between Castle of Thorns and Thunder Town is not far. Only four days after Alicia went north, the 80,000 troops of Castle of Thorns arrived in Thunder Town dragging the Long Snake Formation.

Although there were not as many as 100,000 troops as everyone expected, after the 80,000 troops combined with the more than 200,000 troops in Jeremy's hands, their strength was strong enough to go south to attack Bonn City or Nasir Fortress.

Without staying any longer, the Elf Southern Expedition Army, which had already reorganized its army, set off directly to the south. In the end, they chose to attack the city of Bonn, which was transformed into the Nasir Fortress at the north entrance of the Cattor Canyon.

Although the fortifications of Bonn City are relatively easier to breach, Nasir Fortress is the most valuable target in terms of its importance to the north and the elves.

If we can take advantage of the opportunity of the northern army to move north and capture the Nasir Fortress, then the Drow Federation will be directly sealed in the northern part of the Cattor Mountains, and the elves can slowly kill them.

At the same time, after losing the Nasir Fortress, the northern border can no longer pose a threat to the Elf Kingdom. If they want to send troops to the north again, they will either have to cross the mountains or cross the Tagan Desert, which is very wasteful. it goes without saying.

Moreover, even their trade routes have been cut off. Unless they maintain friendly relations with the kingdom, they will not be able to transport their bulk commodities.

Of course, the most important point is that as long as they can capture this fortress, all the blame for their previous failure in the southern expedition can be offset, and they may even receive a commendation from the kingdom. This is what most of the soldiers in the army like to hear.

In order to catch the wilderness side by surprise, the huge elven army almost increased its speed to the extreme. Even the extra baggage and the slow-moving ancient war trees were abandoned by the main force of the army and stayed at the rear to move forward slowly at the existing speed.

Ten days later, twenty miles to the north of Nasir Fortress, a huge army dragging long waves of dust marched forward at a slow pace. On the rolling horizon in the distance, the target of this army gradually appeared. In front of everyone's eyes.

Dangdang! Dangdang!
  woooo~~~
  On the wall of Nasir Fortress, countless figures were running around the broad city head. Majestic and urgent shouts came one after another. There were also countless crowds of people outside the city. The low-level trolls and jackals living outside the city were fighting against the big and small bags. The belongings were squeezed into the city with all their strength.

Only by squeezing into the city can we get a chance for ourselves and our families.

"As expected! These elves still have no intention of giving up!"

The two leaders, Tim and Bobby, did not follow the army northward. They sat at Cold Wind Point on Allen's suggestion to confuse the ears and eyes of the elves.

With Allen's character as a demigod, even if he was moved by the words of the drow matrons, he would not ignore the safety of the North and send the main force to a distant and unrescuable place at all costs.

The Alliance of Thorns itself is not very strong, so they can take advantage of the opportunity of rescuing the Dwarf Kingdom to drag them onto the battlefield for some training.

As for the elites of the Three Tribes Collegiate Tribe itself, they did not follow the army northward, but existed as confusing elves. Some stayed behind to camp outside Hanfeng Post to build fortifications, while the remaining ones returned to Nasir Fortress with their loot.

Of course, the size of the army under the Council of the Three Tribes is not large and can only be used as the backbone to guard the city. If the elves really take advantage of Allen and the others to march north, they will ultimately have to rely on the mobilization of all three tribes to arm them. warrior.

Even if there is only a possibility for the elves to go south, Allen treats it as if it will really happen and makes plans. This is what Allen has carved into his blood after the Green Field Tribe has wandered on the edge of destruction countless times over the years. experience and lessons.

Now when the elven army really moved south and targeted the Nasir Fortress, the senior officials of the three tribes did not panic too much and began to implement the mobilization defense plan agreed upon long ago.

"No matter what, first of all we have to hold on to the foundation of this establishment!!"

"Now is the time to send an urgent request for help to other members of the Ring of Thorns and the Alliance!"

Bobbier stared at the elf army getting closer and closer, and saw that there were still a few people from the two tribes outside the city who had not entered the city. He stared at the dense crowd under the city with his big eyes, and finally gave the decisive order: "Close the city. Door!!"

"Those outside the city who have not yet entered the city, let them flee to the mountains for their lives!!"

"Yes!!"

War is always so helpless. Even if they know that the elves may come to attack the city, the two tribes have no way to let the tens of thousands of people from the outer city enter the city in advance. After all, they cannot be sure when the elves will come. Going south, there is not enough space in the city to accommodate lower-class people like them.

When a group of trolls and gnolls crying and wailing all over the city saw the hard-hearted leader who could not wake up, and saw the elven army gradually approaching in the distance, they then helplessly and sadly headed towards the towering mountains and forests in the distance. Run wildly.

Before many trolls and jackals could run far, they were already killed by arrows shot from a distance by the galloping elven archers. Then the elves galloped past dragging the corpses of trolls and jackals. , walking back and forth provocatively under the city wall.

In the face of this low-level provocation, the two leaders did not blink an eye. Even if all the tens of thousands of tribesmen outside the city who had not been able to enter the city died in front of them, they would not be able to do any irrational behavior as a result.

Because on their shoulders, they also carry the lives of more than half a million people from the two tribes in the city.

When many warriors from both tribes on the city wall saw this scene, they all opened their eyes wide and cursed, raised their weapons, and scolded in vain. Some even raised their spears for defense and were about to throw them out, and then He was kicked to the ground by the supervising bosses.

There is no shortage of resources in the city, but the sad momentum of the soldiers cannot be vented early. Instead, they should wait until the elves below the city launch a siege before venting it on the opponent.

The futile attack at this time had no big effect at all.

Seeing that their provocation was useless, the elves who had been wandering at a safe distance made some rude actions from a distance, then randomly piled the corpses of the wilderness natives into piles, and then returned to their own army.
