(Recently, thunderstorms are very common, which makes me always worried that our master machine can’t hold it. Please vote for recommended tickets, monthly tickets, reminders and so on. May Day holiday, you guys in red pants? Let’s have another gorgeous outbreak. once?)

The weather turns cooler.

This year’s winter seems to be shorter than in previous years. At this time last year, the temperature in the southern plains had clearly dropped to single digits, but this year until the end of November, there was only a slight chill. According to the inferences of the teachers of the Academy of Athens, the winter of this year may not really arrive until the end of December, and the duration will be shorter than in previous years. At most, there will be a recovery in mid-January.

Needless to say, knowledgeable magicians also have to dabble in astrology and climate.

The reason for mentioning this is that lizards are cold-blooded animals, and the lizard people, as an extension of their other world, will also be affected by a certain degree of cold winter.

Most of these lizard people live in temperate tropical areas, in tropical rain forests full of poisonous swamps.

Although the climate of the southern plains is relatively warm, the temperature difference is greater than that of the environment in which they live. Compared with humans, these lizard people are obviously inferior in their ability to withstand cold. But maybe it is because the weather this year is relatively hot and the winter lasts particularly short time, they will launch aggression on the southern plains, right? Few words

The wisdom of these indigenous people is not low

The Nedoria River originated from the snowy mountains where the descendants of giants lived for generations. It winds down along the southeast route and finally flows into the sea from the south. The river runs in all directions and has many branching currents, so it has contributed to the various parts of the southeast of the mainland. There are many races, multiplying and growing.

No matter what the world is, it is inevitable that the original civilization formed by the river.

………………

The Nedorian River runs through the entire southern plain, and as long as it flows down the river, it can reach the half-elf territory.

Fishery has always been one of Athens' important food sources, so Murphy has never stopped the construction of shipyards. The territory is surrounded by dense woods, so Athens's warship reserve can be said to be in the southern plains.

The Nedoria River has a wide channel and rapid water flow. It only takes a day to flow down the river and it has entered the territory of half-elves.

"My Lord Governor"

Murphy stood solemnly on the five battleships, looking at the dense woods on both sides of the river bank, frowning.

The elves like nature, so they live in lush forests. Druids who believe in the [Earth Doctrines] plant trees regularly to repair the wounds left by other races on the earth. Fighting in the forest is not an easy task.

As the old saying goes, "Don't enter every forest" is just that.

"Take the telescope" Murphy glanced at Altria next to her, the girl's face a little nervous.

To put it plainly, a telescope is a telescope, but in this era, it is not too easy to refine high-purity glass. In order to facilitate the war, Murphy can personally instruct the two teachers to spend a week and use some more refined Only with alchemy techniques have produced so few high-power telescopes. One of these binoculars was in Murphy's hands, the other was given to General Riodare, the other was given to the Marquise Elizabeth who was far away, and the last was left in Athens.

The official led the order and walked away quickly.

Such a large-scale march would be impossible without being discovered by the lizardmen. Hundreds of boats formed a line, winding for a full kilometer.

Murphy took the binoculars, adjusted the angle of view with his hands, and then carefully observed the depths of the dense forest. At the side, Altria looked at Murphy with some curiosity, not understanding what he was looking at with such an old stick.

really

As Murphy expected, there were some cunning figures hidden in the shadows of the forest, running in the dense forest, hanging from a distance.

"It's the lizard-man scout." Murphy turned around and saw the girl's surprised expression, he handed her the binoculars to her, told her how to use it, and then said.

Altria took the binoculars, and after a few glances, she said sadly: "They seem to have penetrated the land of thorns."

"When will the reinforcements sent by the high elves arrive?" Murphy asked, looking at the vigorous figure of the lizardman scout in the forest.

Altria hesitated slightly, and said slowly: "I don't know, but they should come as soon as possible."

The Emerald Dream is thousands of miles away from here, and there are territories separated by several races in the middle. Murphy really doesn't have much hope for the reinforcements from the girl's mouth that will rush over.

"This is a tough battle." He sighed, then said solemnly: "Look for an open place and prepare to land."

Following Murphy's order, the fleet's formation immediately changed.

Admiral Barbossa stood on the mast of a five-row battleship and issued orders loudly.

………………

at dusk.

The army camped on the bank of the river, and elite scout troops from Athens were sent out to survey the nearby terrain and whether there were any signs of enemy troops.

Fifty miles before and after the army, this is the scope of scouts.

The second day.

Murphy received a report from the scouts that sixty miles in front of the camp, a lizardman army of about six hundred people was besieging a half-elf village. At the same time, the bodies of several lizardman scouts were also taken back to the camp.

These lizardmen are very difficult to deal with, and the elite scouts of Athens have also suffered a lot when dealing with them.

The lizardman is about 2 meters tall, has a relatively long and narrow body, is born with a humpback (curved spine), and has fine scales in parts of the body, which are black or gray-black, with only three fingers and sharp black nails. This kind of humanoid is still in primitive civilization, barefoot, covered only in crude animal skins, and its weapons are relatively crude.

The lizardmen look the same (for Murphy), but the male lizardmen have thicker tails, a full one or two meters long, while the females have a slender tail, just hanging shortly behind them.

"Leo Dalje led his army to garrison the camp. The others will follow me to see."

Murphy had the intention to understand the fighting methods of the lizardmen first, so he ordered General Riodari to be stationed, and he led a small group of elites to take a look.

As it was by water, the horses could not be brought over.

It wasn't until noon that Murphy arrived near the battlefield. The soldiers were ordered to rest and replenish their strength, and he took a few people to see the specific situation in person.

Half-elves are scattered, they are divided by blood, forming a village, scattered on this land.

With such a loose way of life, these half-elves can imagine their mobilization for war.

………………

The half-elf village has only a simple circle of wooden fences, not two meters high, and it seems that it has just been built. It is conceivable that this kind of protection can play a role in the face of war, but fortunately the half-elves have inherited the talents of the elves in archery, relying on the advantages of long-range power, until Murphy arrived and still persisted. , But being captured is just a matter of time.

Because in Murphy's opinion, these half-elves have been at ease for too long.

The way they fight can't be regarded as an army at all, it's more like the fighting style used by mercenaries who are mainly small teams.

To put it bluntly, it's just fighting each other

In addition to knowing how to form a dense firepower net when shooting, these half-elves are really a little scum in melee combat. What Murphy can’t understand is that these half-elves actually use the logo-like elves-style longsword in battle.

Do you think it's still that kind of personal style alone?

On the battlefield there is still a chance for you to perform that gorgeous style of exquisite swordsmanship?

Facing the lizardman warriors who commonly use heavy weapons, your slender stinging sword is really useful? Not to mention whether the stabbing sword made by the forging technology of this era bends or breaks after a hard blow against a heavy weapon. It is just the physique of a lizardman warrior, holding a big stick wheel on the battlefield. Going for that lap is more powerful than holding a stabbing sword, right? Few words

The half-elves may be dexterous, but their physique is really useless on the dense battlefield.

"The easiest and direct way to fight is the most suitable way for war"

With just a glance, Murphy could understand why these half-elves were retreating.

"Master Governor" Altria clenched the hilt of the sword tightly, and when she saw that her family was being besieged by the lizardmen, she wanted to rush to help immediately. But reason told her that she shouldn't be so impulsive, because Murphy was by her side.

Bows and arrows, heavy weapons, wild melee combat, no shields, and no other protection besides natural scale armor. Discipline is average, and there are often simple commands in battle, with commanders similar to centurions.

This undoubtedly made Murphy a little relieved.

If lizardmen are such innately agile and tall creatures with sophisticated equipment, it is really impossible to defeat them.

He almost immediately had a way to deal with these lizardmen, but in the end he decided to use another tactic. Because after Athens is upgraded to a big city, the high-level arms that can be recruited and trained in addition to Spartans and armored cavalry, there are several very powerful arms.

Murphy is going to test the combat effectiveness of these arms.

………………

Silver shields, silver helmets, and silver armors. When the three groups of enemies wearing heavy armor and holding silver long shields of up to one meter appeared on the battlefield, they immediately attracted the attention of the attacking lizardmen. There was a cheer in the half-elf village, and the previously weak counterattack suddenly became stronger.

Approximately half of the attacking lizardmen army split out to deal with the sudden appearance of the enemy. Although the enemy is well-equipped, after fighting humans and half-elves, these lizardmen warriors are not afraid of these weak enemies. Even when they are running, they are already thinking about how to divide up these trophies, because those silver armors are really dazzling

Lizardmen's bows and arrows pulled their bows and pointed the arrows at the enemy. The enemy's equipment attracted their hatred, because in contrast, they even found themselves inferior to being a group of uncivilized primitive creatures.

battlefield.

Closer.

However, just before the enemy entered the range of the bow and arrow~www.readwn.com~ the flag bearer running in the forefront suddenly issued a loud order

"Array"

"Tortoise Shell Formation"

………………

Perfect copy of Roman battlefield

The strongest infantry of the Seleucid faction

The strength can be compared with the Roman legion after the reform of Mario

The Silver Shield Legion infantry first appeared on the battlefield

(Simply popular science: In the East, the evolution of the tortoise shell formation is called the fish scale formation. Regarding the fighting method of the tortoise shell formation, I recommend you to watch the movie "Gladiator". It seems that it is almost one in the morning, and there are recommended tickets and monthly tickets. You guys, reward a piece of encouragement to go down to the Buddha? Few words)
