After the Battle of Masen, the commander of the Mage Tower, Maibo, who was outside the Yekjar military harbor, received a report from the reconnaissance team that there was an elven teleportation circle in the military harbor.

When the information was repeatedly confirmed, Commander Maibo's first reaction was not to send heavy troops to destroy the teleportation array, but to suggest to the council that the troops be withdrawn.

At three p.m. on January 9, the Eternal Wings Council replied to Commander Mabbo: It is possible to retreat.

Two hours later, the Mage Tower's army outside the Yekjar military harbor officially withdrew, and the nine-day Yekjar offensive and defensive battle ended dramatically.

According to the official statistics of the elves, the total number of casualties on both sides in this battle was less than 1,000, which was very different from the more than 5,000 people that the Mage Tower reported to the empire.

...

The day after the withdrawal of the Mage Tower's troops, at seven o'clock in the morning of the 10th,

A large fleet of elven fleets, loaded with their troops, began to land at the military port of Yekjar.

Three hours later, when this information reached Prince Sinda's ears, the battle of Fort Iruk was at a critical time, and His Royal Highness the young prince was bent on taking Fort Iruk, so he did not divide his troops to stop it.

Duke Nick, the Imperial Prime Minister in the imperial capital, had no extra troops at his disposal except for the heavy cavalry corps that had to monitor the Chamber of Commerce Alliance and reinforce Duke Eric, so he only sent an order to the 5,000 soldiers stationed in the Ronice Gorge, asking them to strengthen the canyon defense.

As for the upper nobles of the empire, their main concern was the safety of Suk City, and the issue of the Yekjar military port was not even as important as the utensils they chose to use for dinner!

Therefore, the elves landed in the Yekgyel military port for three days and three nights, and the surrounding troops of the empire turned a deaf ear to it!

On 16 January, at the urging of the envoys of the merchant regime of Eluk, the elven army of 50,000 began to march towards Fort Eluk after two days of repairs in the military port.

On the 17th, the Elven Vanguard Army marched to the defensive front line of the Imperial Sixth Legion in the southern area of Fort Eluk in just one day. Prince Sinda immediately sent an order to Sir Donne, the commander of the Sixth Legion, asking him to defend the line and wait for the end of the assault and defense of Fort Eluk.

On the 18th, the elven soldiers launched an attack on Sir Donn's Sixth Legion in three directions, and the two sides only fought for five hours, and the entire front line of the empire collapsed!

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Prince Sinda urgently summoned his staff team.

A group of young staff officers deduced around the map for half a day, and finally came to the conclusion that... The line of the 6th Army held out for a maximum of two days.

"The Sixth Legion was defeated too quickly!" Prince Sinda couldn't believe the data, "I just replenished the Sixth Legion a few days ago, and equipped it with the latest equipment!"

"Your Highness, the latest equipment does not mean the best. Marquis Buck said solemnly: "Besides, it takes a period of time for new recruits and veterans to run in to maximize their combat effectiveness. ”

"What do you want to say?" Prince Sinda felt that the Imperial War Minister had something to say.

"Although the civilian merchants have unlimited heritage, their craftsmanship is not as perfect as that of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and although the weapons and equipment they bring seem to be fine, the actual quality is not very good. Marquis Buck explained, "Otherwise, Duke Nick would not continue to negotiate with the Chamber of Commerce Alliance. ”

"Even so, the Sixth Legion was defeated too quickly. With Prince Sinda's current experience, he did not have a clear idea of whether the equipment was good or bad, and he said: "I have equipped the Sixth Legion with a large number of regular knights, and the private soldiers and servants they bring with them have the most elite equipment in the Empire. ”

Marquis Buck looked at the young prince's puzzled look, and he had a feeling of being speechless... He wanted to tell the young man in front of him that it was because of the young knights' disregard for military regulations and decrees that the Sixth Legion collapsed as soon as the battle began.

But Marquis Buck is not Duke Nick, and he thinks too much about it, so he can't say it.

"We should probably send more troops to the southern defense, after all, the elves have an army of 50,000 and a well-established supply line. Marquis Buck finally suggested.

"But Fort Iruk..."

"Your Highness, at a time when the war is going on, Fort Elok is no longer so important, now, what matters is the southern defense line, we can't let the elves and rebels reconcile!" Marquis Buck pushed away the staff officers who were gathered around the map, and after sketching a few strokes on the map, he said: "We only need to leave 10,000 men to continue attacking Fort Elok to prevent the rebels from colliding with the elves, and then gather heavy troops to meet the elves in the southern area of Elok." ”

The old general took a deep breath, "Your Highness, do you know what it means to defeat the elven army here?" he asked himself, "This means not only the end of the battle of the Eluk Territory, but also the end of the Battle of the Dukedom of Feld!"

Prince Sinda's eyes lit up,

He has some action!

Seeing the prince's appearance, Marquis Buck immediately continued, "We can dispatch the Imperial troops stationed around us at any time to encircle and suppress the elves. As he spoke, he pointed to Krewe, and when the prince looked displeased, he said, "Besides, we still have the Paladin Legion... With the size of our army and the strength of the Paladin's Legion, the odds of victory in a decisive battle with the elves in the southern expanse of Fort Eluk will be very high. ”

After the old general finished speaking, he looked at the young ruler beside him, and I have to say that his strategy is indeed very good.

At least, it was quite convincing for the young Prince Sinda. Ending this war with a campaign is now the desire of all people in the empire.

And Prince Sinda needs to use this battle to grace his coronation!

The prince didn't think long before he made up his mind, and he beckoned to the clerk next to him to start recording as everyone watched, "Order..."

"Your Highness!" Suddenly, an excited shout came from outside the tent to interrupt Prince Sinda, "Sir Don of the Ninth Legion has sent news that the front-line attacking forces have captured the northwestern city defense line of Fort Eluk!"

Prince Sinda's face was stunned and then ecstatic, and he instantly put the order he was about to issue behind him, and shouted to the door of the tent, "I need detailed information. ”

...

An hour later,

Prince Sinda, along with his members of the Staff, Marquis Buck, Minister of War, were escorted by a group of Praetorian guards to the forward camp of the Ninth Legion in the northwestern part of Fort Eluk.

On the battlefield ahead, the earth-shattering shouts of killing continue,

Not far away, the soldiers of the Ninth Army who had just assembled were charging forward one after another in the direction of the city wall under the guidance of the battle flag. The original towering city wall has been smashed by catapults for a small part, and the staggered trenches have been filled as if they were flat ground by the recruited peasants.

Prince Sinda stood on the forward watchtower, holding a lookout and observing the battle ahead, his face showing the excitement peculiar to young people. His breathing became rapid from the shouting in his ears, and his nostrils were filled with a strange smell of blood, leather, iron, and yellow sand, which invaded the lobes of his lungs and put his whole body in a state of euphoria.

"We should intensify our offensive here," Prince Sinda wanted to say.

"Your Highness!" Marquis Buck was startled, he was afraid that His Royal Highness the wayward prince would suddenly come up with a strange order, so he hurriedly said: "With the terrain of the northwest city, it can accommodate more than 10,000 fighting troops on both sides at most, and too large and bloated troops are not conducive to the progress of the war. ”

"Marquis Buck is right. Sir Kim, the commander of the Ninth Legion, who was accompanying him, hurriedly followed, "Besides, the war in the northwest city requires the cooperation of other battlefields, and I propose to strengthen the offensive of the northern and eastern walls to attract more soldiers from the rebels and reduce the pressure of the battle in the northwest city." ”

Sir Kim is reminding Prince Sindar not to repeat the mistakes of the recent past, and even more so reminding the prince that the soldiers at the forefront of the battle are his Ninth Legion.

Prince Sinda is not stupid, naturally he heard Sir Kim's hints, he looked at Marquis Buck and wanted to seek advice, but Marquis Barker was now full of the strategy of concentrating superior forces and elves to fight a decisive battle in the southern region of the Eluk Territory, so he did not notice Prince Sinda's gaze.

"Then do as you wish. Prince Sinda nodded.

Sir Kim was ecstatic in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to be solemn and took the task, and then turned it into a real military order with the prince's herald as quickly as he could.

"Your Highness, the main force of the elves is now less than a day's journey away from us. Marquis Buck frowned, looked at the happy prince and reminded, "The important thing now is to defeat the main army of elves, and the gains and losses of Elok are not important to the whole battle at all. ”

"The subjects of the empire need a victory, and the soldiers need a victory to prove their worth. Sir Kim humbly said, "We are now one step away from victory." ”

"Marquis, we can't refuse a win. The excitement on Prince Sinda's face had not yet subsided, and unlike the battle-hardened Marquis of Buck, he had not yet experienced a hearty victory, so he was unusually obsessed with this victory.

Marquis Buck's eyebrows furrowed, and Sir Kim next to him immediately said: "One day, I only need one day, and at this time tomorrow, the sky above Fort Iruk will be full of lion battle flags!"

"In a day's time, the Sixth Legion's front will be forced back at least fifty miles!" Buck shook his head, "at that time our defensive line will be forced to expand at least twice, and if something happens to Fort Eluk, then we will be passive in the whole battle!"

"The mage team can be transferred to support the Sixth Legion!" suggested Sir Kim, "The most fundamental reason for the rout of the Sixth Legion is that the young knights who have joined the Legion ignore military orders, and if His Highness can grant Sir Donn more powers, it will be easy to prevent the rout of the Sixth Legion." ”

"Huh?" Prince Sinda looked at Marquis Buck and asked, "Is that so?"

"Maybe. Marquis Buck shrugged, glancing imperceptibly at Sir Kim next to him.

Prince Sinda suddenly laughed, "Father told me that there can only be one voice in the army, so—" he stared at Marquis Buck, "Someone needs to remind Sir Donn that he is the commander of the Sixth Legion... You go for yourself!" (https:)
