Summoning Total War

early morning.

There was a hint of chill in the air.

Little ice particles were caught in the drizzle, and it lasted for nearly half an hour until the end of winter. The arrival of winter is already obvious. At most, the entire southern plains will have the first heavy snowfall in a few days! Last year, when the first heavy snow fell, it was around mid-November, a full month earlier than this morning. However, no matter how warm the climate this year is, it will be the limit if it is delayed for a month. []

Half-elf queen, tent.

"The advancement of the lizardmen army has been much slower. The road has become muddy due to rain, and their heavy team can't keep up." Murphy pointed to a map and said to everyone present. The roads in this era are very primitive, they are all fairly simple dirt roads. Once it rains, they basically become dirt roads, and this kind of dirt roads are quite troublesome for the army with heavy equipment. In this era, not many people have Murphy's long-term consciousness and will consume a lot of manpower and material resources to build roads.

The simple dirt road is not only inconvenient for oneself to move, but also can slow down the enemy's forward speed when it is invaded from outside.

This is also considered a benefit.

After all, they do not have a strong army like Athens, which can guarantee the security of the territory.

"According to this kind of weather, unless the lizardmen abandon their luggage, their time to stay here will be delayed for one day." Murphy drew a circle with a quill on a corner of the map, looked around, and said in a deep voice. "This is a tributary of the Nedoria River. You call it the Agate River. The Agate River traverses the entire forest and extends to the west of the Southern Wilderness. If the Lizardmen want to get here as soon as possible, then they must cross the river from here!"

"As far as our current strength is concerned, we are unlikely to win a head-to-head battle against the lizardmen. Therefore, our top priority now is to delay as much as possible and persist until the arrival of the high elves reinforcements, or the first heavy snowfall of this year. Coming." Murphy said slowly.

"The first snowfall?" the half-elf queen asked suspiciously.

"Yes! The first heavy snow!" Murphy looked at the druids, then turned her gaze to the half-elf queen, and said: "The lizardman is a creature similar to a cold-blooded animal. Of course, what is blood? I can’t explain the animal too clearly, because this is the name used internally by our Arcane Mage."

In order to avoid explaining too much, Murphy directly included cold-blooded animals into the knowledge of Arcane School.

"Like this kind of creatures with the characteristics of cold-blooded animals, when the temperature is too low, they will enter a state of hibernation. For example, snakes, frogs, lizards, etc., although it is impossible for lizard people to enter hibernation, they are always living in The creatures in the tropical rainforest will definitely not adapt to this kind of cold weather. In the cold climate, they will be depressed."

"Moreover, these lizardmen are wearing leather armor and are not cold-resistant. In a cold climate, they can greatly weaken their combat effectiveness."

Lizardmen are also humanoids, and Murphy doesn't believe that they won't catch a cold if they catch a cold.

"So, what we must do now is to delay as much as possible. Until the reinforcements of the high elves arrive." Murphy looked at the half-elf queen and said slowly.

If the high elves cannot come, a heavy snowfall alone will not add much points to the next war.

Time and location.

When the strength of the two sides is too far apart, the role that can be played is quite limited.

"What should I do?" a wild druid asked.

"Destroy the road as much as possible and destroy all the bridges along the way. Especially here!" Murphy pointed at the point drawn on the map and said in a deep voice: "If I remember correctly, you built it here. A bridge?"

Murphy didn't know the name of the bridge, but it was in a place where it bordered the southern plains. Half-elves had always traded with humans. This bridge was built because of this. At the beginning of the war, the half-elves were defeated too quickly, and were directly beaten to the Land of Thorns, until they took advantage of the terrain of the Land of Thorns, and then recruited a large number of troops, which slowed the battle.

The lizardmen must cross the Agate River if they want to come over, and to cross the Agate River, it is obviously difficult for the troops with their luggage to wade through the water, so only this bridge is their best choice. Even if it takes some detours, they should cross the river from here. After the "Total War" auxiliary system strategy map page was opened, Murphy has been paying attention to the movements of the Lizardmen.

With the help of the "Total War" auxiliary system, Murphy is more aware of the movements of the Lizardmen army than those of the Hippogryph Riders.

"These lizardmen are now located here, because of the distance, they are longer than our one day at night. And because of the rain in these two days, this time will be delayed a lot, so they are at least half a day away from the bridge. This bridge is in a special location, and it’s impossible for the lizardmen to have no protection at all. It is obviously impossible to walk over to destroy this bridge."

Murphy looked at the half-elf queen and said, "We can only fly over."

"There are only 30 horned eagle beasts. Even if they are all used to carry people, it may not be enough. When the bridge was built to be more durable, the druid even used some reinforced magic on it. This alone A few people, I am afraid it will be difficult to destroy." The half-elf queen looked at the circle on the map and said helplessly.

Obviously, if she knew all this today, she would definitely not let the druid strengthen it.

"It must be destroyed!" Murphy's eyes were firm and he said solemnly: "Destroying this bridge will at least buy us a day!"

"It can even force the Lizardmen to divide their troops again!"

"If they really want to capture this place so quickly..."

Murphy turned his gaze to Altria who was aside. He looked at the girl's green eyes and asked: "If you use the ability, can it be destroyed?"

"Yes!" The girl nodded firmly.

"But..." Altria glanced at the half-elf queen ~www.readwn.com~ and then slowly said: "The use is extremely limited. If it is used to destroy the bridge, I am afraid that there will be no way in the next battle. Use it again."

"It's okay." Murphy answered very calmly.

"The number of horned eagle beasts that can be carried is limited. The lizardmen will definitely send troops to garrison there, so we can only ride on the horned eagle beasts from some elites." Murphy turned his eyes to the moon **** priests on the other side and said slowly : "In addition to all the druids going, I think you have to send a few high-ranking priests to go with you."

"I'm worried that there may be demonized lizardmen standing there."
