A round of volleys resulted in deathly silence on the battlefield. Not to mention the mood of the elven defenders of the Kingdom of Donbas, looking at that section of the city wall that had been ravaged by powerful magic. Among the wood elves' coalition, the thousand-man brigade using the mass-produced Elf Emperor's Bow had the same mixed emotions. When everyone has a hero-specific weapon, no one will be happy.
The wood elf who was temporarily assigned to command this thousand-man team felt the same way, but he had his responsibilities. Holding high the wooden staff that the World Tree gave him the power to control, he shouted the order to attack. 'Nick the arrow~, raise the bow~! '
Although the wood elves are a temporary army, in the face of the authority of the World Tree, they are more disciplined than a well-trained army. So as soon as the commander's call came out, the wood elf archers obeyed without hesitation, took out their exclusive magic arrows again, and put on the elf bows - the word 'emperor' was removed, there were no thousands of emperor's ones, ─Lift high to the sky.
'One to the right, let go! '
The bowstring was loosened, and the second volley was directed at the section of the city wall where they originally attacked, and then moved one battle position to the right. In fact, this is the attack method of a conventional bow and arrow array, hoping to use a dense rain of arrows to cause maximum damage.
But under the volley of elven bows, there was actually no living thing on this section of the city wall, not even the rats and cockroaches hiding in the holes and cracks in the wall. If they really want maximum damage, the Wood Elf coalition can target the next city wall section. The reason why they only moved one battle position was because the purpose of their trip was to intimidate, not to kill.
The elven defenders, who were familiar with each other's tactics, also quickly moved away from the first wave of attack wall sections under the command of the garrison captain. Therefore, the second wave of salvos, apart from being huge, did not cause much damage.
The seemingly useless second salvo was actually just an attempt by the Wood Elf coalition to convey something to the Kingdom of Donbass. That is, since there can be a second attack like this, there will be a third or fourth time, until one party collapses.
This message was, of course, accurately conveyed to the person in the Kingdom of Donbas who could make the decision. The old king hiding in the tower witnessed everything. When the legendary weapon became the enemy's standard equipment, his first reaction was to suspect that he was still sleeping; his second reaction was, of course, to curse the person who should have kept it safe. , this guy inherited this valuable treasure from the past Elf Empire.
The generals he trusted also gathered around the king at this time. Although no one spoke, everyone's attitude was already very obvious. As the king of the Elf Kingdom, Mihailo VI had to speak to break the deadlock. He asked: 'Is there anyone who survived the attack on the city wall? '
The general responsible for guarding the city wall shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I have sent someone to confirm." Before the second salvo, no one was left alive. '
The old king asked again: "Generals, do you have any way to fight?" It is impossible for the other party to commission the fallen Elf God to mass-produce artifact bows and arrows. Since it is a mass-produced weapon, its power is bound to be no better than the original artifact. Then there should be a chance to deal with it. '
All the elven generals could only look at each other in shock. If they had known that they would face such an attack, they would have been able to make more preparations in advance and not be as helpless as they were now. Although I know that His Majesty the King is right, even if it is not as powerful as the original artifact, have you considered the issue of quantity? A team of thousands of people armed with artifact-level weapons is a deadly weapon wherever they are placed.
'Perhaps,' a young general said, '─we can send an army of magicians to fight against them? '
'Then we'll lose this legion forever. 'A mature general answered the question, but it was full of ridicule.
People who are good at shooting are also very sensitive to being shot. Finding the source of the attack and then fighting back is something that almost all elves can do.
Using an army of magicians──the army is actually just the boast of the Kingdom of Donbass. In terms of numbers, this 'legion' was not even ten thousand people in number, not even a quarter - to attack a brigade of elven archers. He must have done this because he wanted to be tortured in all kinds of ways. The attack speed and flexibility of the two are really very different.
The only bad idea that was proposed was beaten to pieces in an instant, and the elves could only continue to remain silent. But everyone knows that it can't be delayed any longer. The opponent will also have a third and fourth wave of attacks to exert pressure. When this pressure reaches its limit, it turns from intimidation to massacre. Patience would be infinite without enemies.
'Father, let me go talk to them. 'The biological son of Mihailo VI and the Crown Prince came forward and said at this time.
But as a father and the king of a country, the old king just frowned and looked at his child without responding. Of course, the Crown Prince understood what his father's concerns were. He said bluntly: "Father, we are not surrendering, we are just giving them what the other party requires." What's more, didn't the coalition say from the beginning that as long as they get what they want, they will leave. They have no reason to stay. If we choose to go to war forcefully, only our people will be harmed. This is so unwise. Besides, what they want is the World Tree, so why not give it to them. '
When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mentioned the World Tree, known as the Mother Tree, he had an unhappy expression on his face. This was of course because he knew the truth about the World Tree under the control of the Elf Kingdom. Especially now that the dominance of the tree is no longer in the hands of the royal family. This situation has been going on for a long time, and there seems to be no good solution.
His ancestors once tried to replace it with a group of people to take care of it. But even if the first generation of elves were loyal to the king at that time, what about the second and third generations? How many elves can still inherit that loyalty?
That is a big dye vat. No matter how loyal the elf is, he will be the same as the original one. Either he will join in the evil or replace it, without exception. And because the location of the World Tree is too far away from the royal city, many times the royal family cannot take care of it at all and can only let the Shenmu Guards do what they want. Over time, the royal power of the Donbas Kingdom has been unable to enter the domain of the World Tree Vera.
Would it be a pity to give up something that is no longer in your hands? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince felt that it was not a pity at all, but rather relieved. But the old king, Mihailo VI, who understood the true relationship between them, knew that this was not that simple. I am a child who is very keen on small things, but always fails to see the big picture clearly.
But this time he made a point that the old king would also admit. There is no loss for the royal family by giving up the World Tree; on the contrary, the elf families who control the world magic will have different endings according to the way the wood elf coalition chooses to deal with it.
And I didn’t give in at the beginning. I resisted, but was it humanly possible to resist? According to his children, he was not surrendering, he was just giving them what they wanted and sending them away. In this way, he has an explanation for his subjects.
Otherwise, as a military layman, I can imagine that if the kingdom wants to win this battle, the biggest chance is to drag the opponent into an urban battle so that their mass-produced Elf Emperor's Bow cannot fire volleys indiscriminately. Significantly reduce the opponent's advantages, and then divide and encircle them...
The opponents are a group of wood elves! Not the surrounding human countries. The advantages that one's own elf army is proud of, the other side also has, or even is better. Therefore, Mihailo VI agreed to his child's proposal. He asked: 'In this case, who is willing to be a messenger and make this trip? '
No one, be it humans or elves, would take the initiative to take on such a great responsibility, or humiliation. Therefore, the elven generals present looked at their noses and noses, and their hearts were as still as water, standing still. However, the proposer was not so calm. The Crown Prince said eagerly: "Father, let me go." After all, not all generals know the location of the secret forest. I will go with the coalition forces. I believe that this kind of sincerity is enough to make the other party stop and believe in us. '
Instinctively, he did not want to put his heir in danger, but considering that the other party's goal was not the kingdom, but the World Tree. After thinking about it, you should understand that it is meaningless to use a prince to threaten the elves who control the World Tree.
In addition, this matter is essentially surrender, but I don't want to bear that name. It should be the best choice for my child, the successor of this country, to come forward to reconcile this matter. So Mihailo VI agreed to this arrangement and asked his most trusted knight to personally protect the child he got only in his old age.
Of course, the Wood Elf Alliance didn't know what was going on outside the royal city and inside the city tower. Seeing that after two waves of volleys, there was still no response from the opponent, the commander had to raise his staff and give the order: "Nake an arrow, raise your bow!" '
Just before the wooden stick was waved and thousands of arrows were fired, the elves with sharp eyes saw a white chess piece rising from the top of the city. The commander quickly retracted his wooden staff and shouted: "Retract the arrows." '
I saw the elves on the horizontal formation, quickly and uniformly relaxing their bow strings, collecting arrows and returning them to the quivers on their backs. All the elves looked towards the center of the military formation, which was filled with all kinds of strange and strange flags. That's where the leaders of all the wood elf tribes and the generals of the elf kingdom are, and it's also where the humans are.
And someone standing in the military formation, yawning in ignorance, first noticed the unusual behavior of the elves, and then noticed the white flag on the top of the city of Donbas Kingdom. The meaning of the white flag of Midi is the same as the original intention of the white flag of Europe on Earth, which is to cease the war first and let everyone negotiate, but it does not mean surrender. It is also possible that the two sides cannot reach a consensus and continue fighting.
Since the other party is willing to talk, this is of course a good thing. I had no intention of killing them all. So Lin Ye looked at the messenger of Yggdrasil, the world tree. This elderly elf was also a transcendent. He was one of the few figures in the wood elf coalition who could convince everyone. Even if he wants to speak out, there are still many elves who don't take him seriously.
Therefore, when it came to communicating with the elves, Lin, of course, entrusted the elder Druid with full authority to take charge. And for some reason, the Elf Extraordinary who was assigned several tasks certainly knew what this human expression meant. He had no choice but to come forward and take care of various tasks in contacting other elves.
