As late summer turns to autumn, there is a slight chill in the morning. For today's battle, the elves had breakfast early. Unlike the previous period when there were many restrictions, this time you can eat freely.
After all, war has always been unpredictable. After eating this meal, you don’t know when the next meal will be or whether you will have a chance to eat it, so this breakfast is a rare and rich breakfast in recent days. Of course, there are also some people who can't eat, so they just grit their teeth, hold on, and feel sad secretly.
The teammates chosen by the Elf Sword Dancer Leena Titov are all rough figures who can eat and sleep, and regard death as nothing. In fact, in the current situation, this kind of person would be more trustworthy than those elves with high martial arts skills. At least they won't collapse on the battlefield and hold back other comrades.
He picked off a mint leaf, put it in his mouth and chewed it. Liena stared closely to the north, which was the direction where the Centaur coalition forces might appear. Rather than being worried and nervous, she was even more confused about the purpose of the man's order.
It wouldn't be wrong to say that she didn't understand it at all. At least she understood that her mission was actually a bait. There is no too complicated operation, just run back desperately after discovering the centaur.
There is no need to deliberately seduce the opponent, the centaur's scouting level will naturally hang tightly behind him. Then he summoned a large army and drove himself in the direction of the brigade like a dog. This also has the intention of letting them lead the way, so that they can find the location of the main elf team faster.
The elves are all familiar with these routines. But sometimes it doesn't work if you don't do it, because if you find the enemy, at least someone has to go back and report it. And my own two legs can't run as fast as others' four legs. Who can blame me?
Although the Elf Guards brought many camels with them, they also had a considerable number of cavalry. But in a horse fight, the elves are really no match for the centaurs. So no one ever thought of relying on a cavalry force that was far outnumbered by their opponents, hoping that they would be the key to victory. The greater possibility is that if you throw a stone into the lake, you will only hear a "dong" sound and nothing will happen.
Besides, the llama has another purpose. When things got out of hand, a large number of camel birds were used to hide the young elf king and escape. The large number of unmounted camels were used to confuse the centaurs. Let them mistakenly believe that there is no important person in the Luo Niao flock, so they give up the chase, thereby increasing the chance of Ridan III escaping.
Therefore, the elves who came out as bait could only rely on their own feet to escape.
There were actually six or seven enemy-baiting teams like his own, not many in number, scattered on several roads to the north. In other words, no matter which direction the centaurs come from, they will definitely encounter one of their own people. Then follow the established plan to lure it to the target location.
The originally planned defense line was pushed aside by someone. Not many elves had any objections to this, because even if they didn't eat or sleep for just one night, they couldn't build a decent fortification. The human magician suggested that since there is no city wall to defend, it is better to focus on street fighting from the beginning.
According to what he learned when he contacted another His Majesty, Wadwo, to destroy a World Tree, it was definitely not just a matter of setting fire and chopping down the tree. Although it is said that it is that simple.
The size of the World Tree varies greatly depending on age and level. Even Lahti, who was called malnourished by someone, has a tree diameter of nearly 90 meters. Because it is not a perfect circle, the circumference is about 350 meters, and it is surrounded by about 200 people. A sacred tree of this level would have to be chopped down to the age of the monkey.
Therefore, according to Wadwo, to destroy the World Tree and obtain the essence, you must attack the heart of the tree. Generally, the World Tree will protect that place very well. In a war between wood elves, the victorious party will also spend a lot of time digging holes into the tree body or roots, cutting off the connection between the heart of the tree and the entire world tree, and then setting a fire from the inside before lighting it. Got to burn.
But if the Elf Kingdom wants to control the World Tree, they will make a fuss about the heart of the tree. Without others having to dig holes, they themselves exposed the heart of the world tree. This also gives the enemy a chance to quickly enter and leave quickly. But the reason why the wood elves don’t regard the kingdom’s World Tree as nourishment on the road to promotion is because the number of soldiers is too low...
However, the implication of this communication is that Waldwo and other high officials of the Turtle Dove Alliance are very aware of the situation of the World Tree under the control of the Elf Kingdom, and that is why they made those original statements. The centaur also understands this, so he has the confidence to move in and out quickly, executing this reckless tactic.
Not to mention the right or wrong attitude towards the World Tree, since you know the opponent's offensive target, you can of course think of the corresponding defensive method, which is the street fighting mentioned before. Or should I say, taking advantage of the terrain of the small tree-shaped village to start a battle for every inch of land with the centaurs. Because the heart of the tree in Lahti is deep in the inner passage, deeper than the room of the God-Slaying Magic Array.
The reason why the elves didn't think of this was that at the beginning, all their tactics were designed based on the premise of not causing any damage to the World Tree. And, of course, the king who protects their young. But since it would not be a serious problem to scratch the bark of the tree, why should we worry about not causing any harm to the World Tree and then give up using this natural fortress.
In fact, someone's awakening rekindled hope for the elves. They did not have no chance of winning. Moreover, various targeted arrangements and deployments can be made better than the suggestions of this human magician.
The reason why this magician's plan is still followed is because his position is already on the front line. And all the elves need to pay is just a few bait teams. If this boastful human being collapses, the elves will not collapse yet. They only need to occupy the advantageous position on the tree and fight for every inch of it with the centaurs.
Yes. As soon as he found an opportunity to win, the war minister returned to his old ways and discriminated against all ethnic groups that were not elves.
Reena felt a little relieved when she thought about how that man looked so indifferent, but made the old man Maxim Stashe so angry that he didn't want to talk. She doesn't despise her own people, but living in her own little world and remembering the glory of the empire thousands of years ago, is this really good? It is a pity that many elves only want to live in the past and do not face the present.
'Sister, someone is coming! '
The speaker was a fat elf, an elf who was a few years older than the young king. At a young age, he can become a guard of the king. In addition to his family's influence, this chubby boy is not only smart but also very talented. He is regarded as the next strong man who is expected to transcend the life level of ordinary elves.
Such an elf took the initiative to join Liena's bait team. In the first five years of his compulsory military service in the elves, he had many conflicts with the armies of the human kingdom at the border, but he never encountered a centaur. Some people say that in the battle with the previous king, although the centaurs cheated the elves, they also suffered considerable losses, so they have been quiet until now.
He appeared here just to see for the first time what the elves' old enemy looked like. So when he discovered the centaur's whereabouts, he was quite excited to report it to the on-site commander, Liena Titov, the daughter of the kingdom's prime minister.
'quantity? '
'Three cavalry. Run? Or swallow them? '
'Do you look like you want to run? 'Leena looked at the young man angrily. Rather than despair, there is a group of romantics among the elves who long for war. Moreover, this group of people are not young people who have listened to too many heroic poems and only know how to talk. In the border conflict, each of these people was a man of outstanding merit.
There are many such people among the elves that I have chosen. Not only them, but even Liena herself didn't want to do nothing and just be responsible for luring the enemy to the designated place. But that person's order was quite strange: 'Failure is allowed but victory is not allowed'. The military order is like this. The elves have no tradition of going outside or anything. Obedience is the foundation of a strong elven army, especially this kind of tactical order.
However, the specific operation is not something that the man who is not at the scene can control. It's not his style to run away with his tail between his legs as soon as they meet, nor is it the style of an elf. She gathered the members of the team and said: "We have The men and horses leave. So this is my plan..."
After the explanation, all the elves became energetic and immediately acted according to the order. Although the temporary team leader said that at least one centaur must be released. But when it comes to fighting, who can say for sure? If you let go too deliberately, you may easily fall into a dangerous situation.
A group of confident young people walked lightly through the woods and surrounded the three centaur scouts.
I thought it was an easy encounter, but all developments were completely different from what the elves had imagined. Almost as soon as they got close to the effective shooting range of the short bow used by the scouts in their hands, the three centaur scouts on the opposite side noticed the clues and gathered together.
The young elf who did not believe in evil took another step forward and shot three spears at him at the same time! He was forced to roll around and narrowly avoided the spear, but his whereabouts were revealed.
Now that someone was exposed, the other elves didn't care and continued to move forward slowly. They all jumped out of their hiding places, shot with bows, and ran towards the centaur.
All the actions of the elves seemed to have been familiarized by the three centaur scouts. They didn't stand around waiting for the elves' siege to be completed. Instead, he sprinted in the direction where he had just thrown the spear, because the elf who rolled away just became a gap in the surrounding net.
The actions of being led by the nose have already caused the encirclement network to be in disarray. Only Liena did not jump out immediately. On the contrary, she climbed up the tree with great agility. And as predicted, the three centaur scouts ran past the tree where she was hiding. Holding two swords in hand, Liena jumped down when the last centaur was about to pass!
