Having lived in this land for generations, with the forest in the way, and rarely joining in the worldly strife, these elves had no idea that war would one day befall them.

The elves are very unfamiliar with war, these children of the forest who live in the main plane and have no natural predators, and it is difficult to even understand what the concept of war is, and even the oldest elves can only look for information about war from the corner of memory.

Yes, you read that right, these elves don't know how to deal with a war, how to fight Siegel's aggression, how to deal with it and how to resist.

When the elven sentinels brought the news of Siegel's invasion of the forest and the killing of the sentinels back to the tribe as quickly as possible, the elders with legendary strength did not mobilize for war in the first place

They gathered in groups and threes to the place where the meeting was usually held, and as usual they discussed some issues, they debated how to deal with this war, how to deal with these invaders

After wasting three hours on these useless arguments, they remembered to ask the sentinels where these intruders were, who they were, and how many they had

When the sky began to darken and the setting sun disappeared from the horizon, the elven elders finally came up with a way to deal with Siegel, and the elves, who had forgotten what war was, did not forget what the consequences of war were

They will never compromise with these invaders who have invaded their territory and killed their own people without saying a word, as if they were hunting

The elves have been at peace for too long, and they don't know what war is, but the perennial hunting life has made them aware of the act of hunting, and it doesn't matter if they don't know how to go to war, they just need to hunt Siegel's army as a group of powerful and intelligent prey.

The first order of the elven elders was to begin to gather the tribesmen who could fight, whether men, women, or children, as long as they could draw their bows and wield their swords, they would be given weapons into their hands to join the battle, and the rest of the people who did not have the slightest fighting power would go to hide in the hideouts, which had always stored food and water that would allow the tribe to survive a winter.

This is set up to deal with some of the beasts that are hungry and crazy in winter, and for those who have lost their minds, the elves prefer to hide and wait for their people to die rather than resist them and cause the death of their people.

The second order was to let the sentinels, who had rested for a few hours and had filled their stomachs with water, continue to set out to search for the enemy's tracks, and to find out how many enemies there were, and to know where they were.

When night fell and the crooked moon climbed the treetops, the elven army of five hundred people left their homeland with three elven elders who had reached legendary strength as the core.

Siegel was resting at the edge of a swamp, and the spring had melted the snow and seeped into the dirt, creating a small swamp in the forest.

The camp was built on the edge of the swamp to facilitate food and water from the swamp, but also to use the swamp as a natural bulwark that would give them more chances of victory if the elves attacked them from this direction.

If Siegel hadn't been sure if the elves knew about their arrival, he had already made up his mind after capturing the second elven captive and finding out from her mind that some of the elven sentinels had left the battlefield and returned to the village.

The fact that the elves had known about their invasion of the land and that they had begun to attack them was not a friendly signal, but an act that represented the beginning of war.

So Siegel thinks that those elves will never miss such a good opportunity, whether they have forgotten the method of conducting war because they have not fought for too long, as long as they are not stupid, they know that tonight is the perfect opportunity to carry out a surprise attack.

The elven sentinels had been eliminated by the centaur forces, although they still inflicted some damage on the centaurs before they died, expressing their determination to protect their territory.

Centaur scouts out and about, out of checks and balances, are gathering all the information they can gather and are on the lookout for possible enemies, and they need to buy time for Siegel to delay the oncoming elves with their lives and their fast-moving limbs.

The centaurs did not resist Siegel's order, they were all fanatical believers in Loki, and they willingly gave their lives to suggest a Scandinavian empire that believed in Loki.

After arranging the centaurs, Loki began to direct his soldiers to start cutting down trees, clearing the ground of weeds, branches and leaves, and then forming a circle of wagons, carrying all the supplies on it, and placing them in the middle of the line.

Siegel let the army rest, not an ordinary rest, if he could, he also planned to be in this place, tonight, to annihilate the main force of the elves in one go.

In Siegel's opinion, since there is no way to continue the plan of the surprise attack, it is undoubtedly better to change the choice and wait for the rabbit, at least it is much easier than attacking a well-guarded elven tribe.

The shamans in the procession were constantly using the spell of turning mud into stone, making hard stone slabs from the ground and the straight wood that had been cut down to build a wall three or four meters high on the perimeter of the carriage.

The druids were unleashing their vines, controlling them to climb the walls, holding the wood and stone slabs together so that they could not be separated, and with the example of Siegel killing monkeys and chickens, they did not dare to neglect anything.

In addition, the centaurs who had just killed the elven sentinels were also in the camp, some idle druids were bandaging and treating them, and Siegel had collected enough supplies from his brother's territory to fight a war.

"Quack"

The black crows cried in the silent forest, as if there were terrifying ghosts hovering among them, full of ominousness and coldness, and the fall of night represented the silence of the sun, and the creatures that had hid during the day began to appear in the forest.

The terrible wolf howls came one after another, and green eyes began to appear around the camp, and these unintelligent beasts were vigilant against the invaders who appeared in the territory, and they felt the strength and terror of these invaders, so they only dared to watch from a distance and did not dare to attack.

Except for the sound of shamans and druids chanting spells, no one in Siegel's team communicated or spoke, and they all quickly completed the task at hand in silence, and the smell of war began to fill the camp.

Everyone could guess that it was certainly not a quiet night tonight, and the warriors of Siegel's army were not first-time hicks, and they all knew when to attack and when to attack the embankment.

Torches were planted on all sides of the wall, illuminating the entire camp as if it were daylight, and the surrounding trees were cut down, allowing the bright moonlight and bright stars to be unobstructed and sprinkled on the ground.

Torches are made by soaking melted animal fat tied to wooden sticks, and the stench of burning animal fat fills the air, mixing with the aroma of food to create a disgusting and disgusting smell.

The soldiers had long been accustomed to the stench, which was acceptable compared to the stench of blood and barbecue on the battlefield.

The prey of the centaur scouting was placed next to the fire, and several tall berserkers were cooking, and they would not eat raw food if it was not necessary during the march, because it would be easy to get sick and affect the combat effectiveness of the army.

If there is a plague, it will be even more troublesome, it will cause the warriors to lose even the most basic combat power, and at the same time, it will also require a lot of medicinal and magical materials, as well as a lot of time and energy on the part of the caster.

The elven troops had crept into Siegel's camp less than eight hundred meters away in the night, and they had already killed three squads of centaurs along the way, no matter how fast those centaurs ran on flat ground, they had no effect in front of the legendary spellcaster.

Of course, they didn't know that their killing of the centaurs did not successfully cover up the news of their arrival, because the centaur squads all had channels of communication with each other, and the news of the disappearance of the three squads was tantamount to telling Siegel that the enemy had arrived.

"How many walls are left to complete?"

Siegel listened intently to the roar of the centaur, the explosion already fainting from the fire, and calmly asked a shaman standing to his left.

"It has been built, and the surrounding trees and debris on the ground have been cleared. ”

"What about the warriors, are they ready to fight and fight?"

"Don't worry, King, you have eaten ten minutes ago, and you can join the battle at any time. ”

The one who answered Siegel was a Berserker, he was the captain of the Berserker unit in the army, and he was more than two meters tall and almost three meters tall, so that Siegel could only see his face when he looked up.

Siegel didn't continue to ask, because the centaurs had already rushed out of the gate of the camp, and they went to complete the task of delaying the elves as told by Siegel, although they didn't have a map of the forest, and they were very unfamiliar with the surrounding environment, but under the moonlight, they didn't have to worry about hitting the trees in the forest when they ran at high speed at night.

As for the druids, in Siegel's eyes, there was no need to prepare at all, and their task was to do everything possible to squeeze the strength in their bodies to deal with the war tonight.

This is the punishment for the negligence of the druids during the day today, which bankrupted Siegel's plans, and even if each of them was a precious spellcaster, it would be difficult for Siegel to give up the punishment on them.

A handsome elf pulled a spear from the ground, and beside him was the corpse of a circle of centaurs, and these running centaurs did not escape the clutches of the elves, and even the strongest of them, the leader who was close to the legend, died at the hands of the elves.

But they succeeded in completing the task given to them by Siegel, facing the elven army with legendary spellcasters, and in the face of unfamiliar circumstances, they still delayed for ten minutes, and killed hundreds of elves with their weapons.

Siegel had paid a great deal to have the iron arrows smuggled by the goblins perform extremely well in this chase, and the defenses created by the ordinary druids among the elves could not defend against these arrows.

The iron long sword allowed them to use the advantage of weapons when the elves were close, and slightly resisted the attack of the sword dancer, for a second, two seconds, and three seconds, although death was unavoidable, but it was affirmed by the elves.

In ten minutes, the entire camp was ready for war, and the gate in front of the camp had been reinforced with metal by the shamans, who believed that without reaching the legendary level of strength, it would be difficult to shake the defense that had taken half a day to build.

"Bump" "Bump" "Bump"

A flash of fire illuminated the elves hidden in the forest, and a roaring explosion followed by the dull sound of heavy objects falling on the ground.

A team of elves couldn't even react, the stump and severed arm flew in the sky, and the rest of it turned into bright red flesh and mud, and three gullies three meters wide and half a meter deep appeared on the ground, and at the end of the ravines was a red stone ball, white steam was constantly emitting from the stone ball into the air, and at the same time, some leaves close to the stone ball began to show traces of burning.

The only thing that could inflict such an attack was the dwarven catapults, and during the Second Scandinavian Defense, the siege equipment that gave Attila's troops great losses was able to gain great destructive power not inferior to magic by using the wood they saw.

These catapults were also the reason why Siegel was able to defeat his brother in the last battle at a small cost, and when the magic forces cancel each other out, the stone balls thrown by the trebuchets will be a difficult problem to solve...... At least that's the kind of attack that only Legendary-level people can handle, and if you're careless, you can be injured or killed.

There were only five hundred meters left from the camp, and the three elven elders had already used all their strength to resist the stone balls falling from the sky, but the number of stone balls was too much, and the elves still suffered a heavy blow.

Because no one thought that Siegel would be able to get six catapults and the method of maneuvering the catapult to attack from those xenophobic dwarves, as well as the technology to carry out the daily maintenance of the catapult.
