Chapter 222: The Third Army Strikes
"What's going on?" Noyachenko, who was driving a dinghy along the coastline, saw a red flare in the distance and slowly rose into the sky. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The red wyvern that followed behind his head, a few hundred meters in the air, immediately turned around and flew in the direction of the top of the Nether.
The blonde elven man then drove the wooden dinghy around the sea, spotting several wyverns, all of whom had retreated in the direction of the top of the Nether.
"It seems that I should also go and save Sister Xueyou. Noyachenko turned the dinghy around and began to sail back to the shore where Firid and Xueyo were.
All the dragoons at the top of the Nether Realm withdrew from the area controlled by the First Army. Krosso then ordered the Third Army to attack the First Army's defensive line.
The direction of the Third Army's main attack was chosen to be the north of Duan Feierta, the side close to the coast, and it made every effort to break through the northern defense line of the First Army in the shortest possible time and rescue Firid and Xueyou in time.
The defensive area of the First Army consisted of several lines of defense with the main road between Klein City and the old royal capital of Galia as the core, distributed in the form of branches and leaves, and interconnected into a network. The focus of the zone is not on the hilly terrain near the northern coast.
The hilly terrain near the northern coast - the terrain is undulating, densely forested, and impassable, and it is not at all suitable for mobile operations of large corps. Therefore, Memphis did not have a heavy garrison here at all. Crosso had no plans to attack the area.
But people are not as good as heaven. In a rapidly changing battlefield, plans can't keep up with changes. As Fride escorted Snow Yo into the hilly terrain of the northern coast, the area has become the focal point of the battle.
On the one hand, the First Army was centered on a small city near the coast, linking several small towns, forming a line of defense. There were nearly 20,000 officers and soldiers stationed on the defensive line, all of whom were miscellaneous fish belly goods.
On the other hand, the elite of the Third Army was exhausted. In the air, the troops of hundreds of giant bird cavalry were the lead. The ground was supplemented by 7,000 elven mages, each of whom was alone in control of an army of tree spirit fighters, attacking the front of the battle and opening the way.
The 30,000 elven archers accompanied the army of dryad fighters and the mages who were responsible for covering the elves on the flanks and advanced together.
As soon as the fish belly troops of the First Army came into contact, the attack of the Third Army quickly collapsed. The ordinary soldiers and hoplite captains saw from afar the Giant Roc Bird and the Dryad Fighters sweeping in, and they gave up their resistance and fled in the desert with their armor thrown away.
Seeing this, the elven archers of the third group of armies shot arrows one after another, and rushed forward with the rain of arrows. The First Army, with thousands of miscellaneous fish, soon fell on the battlefield, and the remaining 10,000 were taken prisoner.
The northern line of defense of the First Army collapsed. The remnants of the fish belly army are all cowering, and the castle near the coastal town is strictly guarded, ready to fight the trapped beasts.
"Our army did not have time to storm the city. Leave 5,000 archers behind and besiege the enemy. The main forces continued to advance. "Crook Xun rode on the back of a giant bird with gray feathers, and ordered a giant bird cavalry wearing light armor and elves beside him.
The elven Jupeng Bird Cavalry rode an ordinary Jupeng bird with brown feathers under its crotch.
As a result, the attack force of the Third Army, leaving behind 5,000 elven archers, trapped thousands of miscellaneous officers and soldiers of the First Army who were cowering in small coastal towns and castles under the cover of the nearby jungle area.
The besieging elven archers did not expose themselves to the range of the enemy archers on the castle at all, but used the most familiar jungle as a cover and hid in ambush around the coastal castle, and if the officers and men of the First Army dared to leave the city, they would be killed by sniper shot.
Soon, around the castle of the small coastal city, dozens of miscellaneous officers and soldiers of the First Army were killed. As a result, when the fish belly saw this, no one dared to venture out of the city again.
The main force of the Third Army, under the command of Crocoon, continued to advance to the coast north of Wucai Town.
It was almost dusk. Then turn back to Firid and Xueyu. The afterglow of the setting sun is reflected in the Duan Feier Tower, the junction of the sea and the sky in the northern sea, on the gorgeous orange-red sunset.
"Fried. Are you and Xue Yu alright?" Croix jumped off Flowey's back and onto the soft sand, asking Firid, who was standing at the edge of the coconut grove.
"Xue Yu and I are fine. Croix, and this lovely young lady, please come with me. When Freed saw Croce and Sister Yan jump from Flowey's back onto the beach, he bowed politely and made a gesture of please.
"Big handsome guy, you said Sister Yan is cute—— Sister Yan is optimistic about you!" As soon as Sister Yan saw Fried's polite demeanor, her eyes radiated with joy.
Fried, Croix, and Sister Yan step into the coconut grove.
"Sister Croix, sister, I haven't seen you for a long time. Xue You misses you so much—" Xue You came forward, holding Croqin's right hand and Sister Yan's left hand with her left and right hands respectively, and shouted happily.
"Snow—I haven't seen you in a long time. How is the relationship between you and Noyachenko, and that spare tire, how is the relationship developing?" Sister Yan excitedly shook Xue You's hand and asked strange questions.
"Why do you ask such a thing as soon as you meet?" Xue You asked unhappily when she heard this.
"Sister Yan, this is concerned about you——" Sister Yan said nonchalantly.
"Xue You doesn't need this kind of privacy concern!" retorted Xue You, who was well versed in Sister Yan's temperament.
"Don't be so stingy—you see, this is the necklace that Sister Yan gave you. Sister Yan said, took out a necklace from her pocket and stuffed it into Xue You's hand.
Xue You looked at the necklace and found that it was made of a white gold chain strung on a gold pocket watch-like prop, inlaid with a light blue cubic crystal.
"It's so beautiful! It's so beautiful! Xue You likes it so much—— Sister Yan, you're so good!" Xue You held the necklace in the palm of her hand, and praised her eyes with a light in her eyes.
"Yukiyo, put it on. This is Sister Yan's latest spell stand-in necklace. The spell energy stored inside, once it senses the approach of a dangerous force, will automatically release it, saving your life once. You see, Sister Yan has already put them on. ”
Sister Yan's right hand reached under her neck and took out another necklace from the placket.
"Hey?—— why is the crystal on this necklace you wearing in the shape of a pink heart? The one Xue You wears is a light blue cube?" Xue You stared at the spell stand-in necklace in his hand and the one worn by Sister Yan, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
"Don't you like the style of the necklace? If you don't like it, Sister Yan's can be exchanged with you. Sister Yan said generously, and as she spoke, she reached out and wanted to take off the necklace she was wearing around her neck.
"No—— Sister Yan, you are the pink daisy, Sister Xueyou, you are the light blue lily——" Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed from behind a coconut tree, jumped out, and shouted loudly at Sister Yan and Xueyou in a panic.
"Who ?——" Seeing this, the veteran squad leader, the black-clothed swordsman holding the ghost demon halberd, ran straight to the black shadow very alertly. Unexpectedly, Croqin's speed was faster than that of the veteran squad leader, and he instantly rushed to the side of the black shadow.
"Hey, hey!!——" The black shadow's mouth immediately let out a loud and terrible scream.
"Noyachenko, you guy—— I have already found out that you have been hiding behind this tree, what are you trying to do?" Croqin used the grabbing action to restrain the black shadow's right arm, and twisted the opponent's arm behind the black shadow, and asked loudly.
"Oh, hey, Sister Croqin—— I'm not already out?" Noyachenko immediately replied loudly.
"Then why are you only showing up now?" Croqin continued to twist Noyachenko's right arm and kicked the knee hard.
"Oops—— I'm just watching for enemies around. Spare me—" Noyachenko fell on one knee on the soft sand and began to beg for mercy.
"Big Brother Noyachenko, is that you?Sister Croqin, what are you playing?" Xue You did not exchange spell necklaces with Sister Yan, but put the light sapphire necklace around her neck and ran to Noyachenko's side.
"Sister Xueyou, come and save me——" Noyachenko, who was half-kneeling on the ground, heard this, and desperately cried for help as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
At this time, except for Croqin, who had long been accustomed to the blonde elven men, who was messing around like this. The black-clothed swordsmen who were watching at the scene had only one embarrassing word left on their faces.
"Miss Yan. Can you let me take a look at your latest spell double necklace?" On the other side, Fei Ried walked up to Sister Yan with great interest, and asked respectfully.
"Big handsome guy. Sister Yan also wants to ask you a question. What is the relationship between you and Xue You?" Sister Yan blinked happily, staring intently at Fei Rid's heroic face and asked.
"Xue You is the daughter of the former Elven King, Clovence, and the current princess. I used to be a subordinate of Clovence, and now I am the head of the Royal Swordsman Regiment of the Republic of Duan Feerta, appointed by His Highness Xue You. So, we have a superior-subordinate relationship. Xue Yu is my boss. Firid replied cautiously.
"Is it just a relationship between superiors and subordinates?" Sister Yan continued to blink, asking with interest.
"Why? Is there any relationship between His Highness and me other than the relationship between his superiors and subordinates?" Fried was amused when he heard this, and asked rhetorically with a smile. (To be continued.) )
