The army of the elves is divided into three types, one is the national army, that is, the regular army, the professional army, and the nature of the regular army of the human race and the demon race is the same.

There is also a tribal army, the night elves, wood elves, and blood elves each carry out unconventional troops according to their population, similar in nature to militias, but their combat effectiveness is not necessarily weaker than that of regular troops, and when there is a real large-scale battle, these troops will be supplemented by the regular army.

The last type is the Royal Praetorian Guard, which is directly ruled by the Golden Elf Royal Family, and its number is a fixed 20,000 people, which belongs to the elite of the Elf Clan.

In the past elven expeditionary forces to Arsa, the number of troops sent was two group armies, the Chinese legion sent one group army, and the tribal army sent one legion. The Royal Praetorian Guard, on the other hand, will only dispatch a hundred to two hundred people, which can be regarded as a warlord.

But this expedition was very different, the elven king issued a mobilization order, and at the oath meeting, he declared that he would completely solve the problem of Arsa, and prevent this cancer on the Tianfeng Continent from continuing to exist.

So the elves sent a total of six armies this time, and the Royal Praetorian Guard sent 10,000 troops. In the end, seventy birdwing ballistae were taken out of the Royal Baby Vault.

The marshal who led the expedition was the Blood Elf King Narius, and the commander of the Royal Praetorian Guard was the Elven Prince Erwin Ellandi, who was Tang Dou's eldest brother Xue asked.

In addition to this, he was accompanied by two elders of the Elven Clan Elders, who were of the first level of diamond.

Such a camp shows the determination of the elven clan this time!

The marching lineup of an army of more than 400,000 men is extremely exaggerated, and if this large army were lined up, the sun would have sunk in the west from the first line when the sun came out, and when the last column was set out.

The elven army advanced in a formation of two or three one.

The Third Army was the vanguard of the entire corps, and to its left and right was the First Corps of the tribal army. It is also the most elite legion of the Blood Elf tribe.

As the most populous tribe among the elves, the blood elves have the largest number of troops, and they are also the strongholds and pioneers of the elven army.

Behind these two legions is the main force of the Chinese army of this expeditionary force, the first and second legions of the state, and the third legion of the tribal army, that is, the mixed legion of the wood elf tribe and the night elf tribe. In addition, 10,000 troops of the Royal Praetorian Guard were among them.

And in the end, there is a reserve corps responsible for logistical baggage.

All the troops added up to six group armies and more than 400,000 people.

Brandon is a wood elf who is the leader of the sixth reconnaissance team of the fourth brigade of the third legion of the elven country. As a member of the Scout Force, Brandon, like his fellow scouts in the Scout Unit, is tasked with ensuring the safety of the entire army on a daily basis.

When the entire army was advancing, there were more than 3,000 scouts in total, and the main force of the entire expeditionary force radiated several miles to dozens of miles away, and any wind and grass would be immediately reported upward, and finally in the hands of the commander of the expeditionary force, Nalius.

The 6th Reconnaissance Team of the 4th Brigade of the National Legion to which Brandon belonged was located on the right front of the entire army, and its main reconnaissance mission was to observe the weather changes in the Alsa Desert.

The elven warriors of the entire expeditionary force have the same opinion, the expedition to Arsa, compared to the barbaric rabble of Arsa, the expeditionary force should be more worried about the weather in Arsa and those special demon beasts.

All the elven warriors believed that as long as they could successfully reach the inner ring, they would be able to easily take out the so-called Seven Kingdoms and Ten Realms of Arsane.

It's no wonder that the elven warriors are arrogant, it's really the strength of their lineup this time, not to mention fighting an Arsa, it's enough to fight humans and demons. A group of arrogant guys in a desert area, what is there to be afraid of?

With such confidence, the elven warriors set out on their expedition.

This is the twenty-first day of the expedition, the vanguard of the elven army has crossed most of the central ring, unlike the previous expeditions, this expeditionary force is expensive and fast, and it is real, so all the oases and strongholds encountered on the way are directly uprooted.

For the elves, Arsa is a place of exile, and all the people who live here are sinners, so there is no one to hesitate or relent—or those night elves who are always soft-hearted will have compassion, but in the face of the interests of the whole army, their compassion can only be put away.

On the 21st, after resting for the night in a small stronghold, Brandon and his team set out early again, planning to reach the most famous junction between Central and Inner Ring, the log oasis, today.

Then they would lurk and monitor the entire log oasis to make sure that news of the Elven Expeditionary Force would not leak out in advance. This time the expeditionary force is to destroy all the tumors of Arsa, and it is no longer the same drill as before, so the best result is that the barbarians in Arsa will only know what is going on after hitting the inner ring.

Therefore, it is planned that the seven reconnaissance teams will arrive at the log oasis one after another, and then hide and monitor the entire log oasis to ensure that no news will be transmitted here.

In order to ensure a success rate, all seven reconnaissance units will carry runic equipment that interferes with long-range communication runes, so that the entire log oasis cannot send out a single long-range communication.

By three o'clock in the afternoon, Brandon and his team had seen the log oasis from afar.

It was indeed a sizable oasis, with the best environment Brandon had ever seen since they entered Arsa.

"Captain, is that the log oasis?" One of the youngest blood elves in the team stared at the oasis in the distance with blood-red eyes.

This is a new recruit, who has just reached the strength level of Silver Level 7 required by the reconnaissance unit, and unlike a veteran like Brandon, who has participated in two expeditions, he is a completely inexperienced recruit.

But this young man named Ilan Budi is a promising young man, with the enthusiasm and determination characteristic of the Blood Elves clan, and his family roots are deep. And he was a good lad who was quite polite, and Brandon was quite fond of him.

"Yes Ilan Budi, that's the log oasis. These barbarians in Arsa call it the Pearl of the Sand Sea, arguably the best place to be before entering the Inner Ring! Brandon spat out the tasteless licowood chips (a kind of gum-like bamboo plant, elves love to chew this kind of thing, not only to refresh the mind, but also to replenish a certain amount of water, and even in the expeditionary force, it can even be said to be a daily equipment)

Ilan Budi's blood-red eyes flashed with a glimmer of brilliance: "When we finish our mission, we can go in and take a shower." How did the barbarians of Arsa deserve to be in such a good place? They are only worthy to gnaw on the dirt in the sand and stones! ”

"That's right, those barbarians who are trafficking in human beings don't deserve such a good place!" Another member of the scout team whistled lowly.

For many people who have not really come into contact with the elves, the elves are synonymous with mystery and elegance, but in fact most of this impression is the reputation earned by the scholars of the Night Elves.

And for those who have been in deep contact with the elves, they will know that the elves are not a tall race, the arrogance of the blood elves, the careful eyes of the wood elves and the elegance of the night elves are also commensurate.

In fact, if you think about the history of the elves, you will know, if this is a truly elegant race, how can it survive? I don't know how many times I have been exterminated hundreds of times.

There will be no night elves in the recon team, so Brandon and his teammates, like any scout team in the human and demon clans, stared at the log oasis with a bloodthirsty and savage attitude before the battle, waiting for the time to raise the butcher knife in their hands and take out those who were barbaric and ignorant in their eyes, and did not even deserve the right to live.

Rustling! Rustling!

The elves, who were talking in a low voice, suddenly heard a strange voice.

"What's the sound?" Ilan Budi was the first to wonder and looked around vigilantly.

Brandon looked at Elan Budi's reaction with satisfaction, and at the same time looked around: "Be careful, don't encounter any monsters!" In his mind, it was impossible for the people of Arsa to spot these elite scouts. In addition to the weather, the only thing that can cause them trouble is the monsters.

The rustle was getting closer, but Brandon and the others couldn't find out where the sound was coming from—in fact, it was coming from everywhere, in all directions, so they couldn't find the source.

"It may be a monster beast under the sand, let's hide in the sand dunes behind there first!" Brandon knew that there were many monsters in Arthari that could sneak in the sand, and decided to leave this place first.

The elves began to shift, then quickly moved behind the sand dunes that Brandon was referring to.

But the rustling sound is getting heavier and closer, making Brandon and the others begin to become gloomy, and the unknown always makes people feel uneasy.

But just when the rustling sound had already reached everyone, and Brandon and the others had already decided to leave here, the sound disappeared all at once.

The surrounding wind seemed to have stopped, and the four sides fell into an eerie silence.

Brandon had been searching through all sorts of information in his mind, trying to figure out what was going on, and he vaguely remembered something, but he couldn't grasp the answer in his mind.

When there was an eerie silence around him, the answer in his mind finally came to him.

Brandon's face suddenly turned pale: "Run, this is a sandworm!" ”

As soon as his words fell, the sand surface where the elves were standing suddenly sank seven or eight meters, and around them, one by one, hideous fangs broke through the sand.

The sandworm is the weirdest and most difficult monster in the Arsa Desert, but it is also the laziest and most timid monster. Under normal circumstances, sanddiggers do not come within a hundred miles of any oasis.

And here is only three miles from the log oasis, how can there be sandworms?

That's why Brandon didn't think about the sandworms, but by the time he was sure that the visions were the precursors of the sandworms' attack, it was already too late.

The most powerful attack of the sanddiggers is their first strike lurking beneath the sand, and there is no precursor to anything other than the peculiar rustle, not even if the unlucky ones come to the trap they have set up in advance. Because that rustling sound is the sound of the sandworm laying a trap underground.

The level of adult sanddiggers is only silver level nine, but their combat power cannot be calculated normally at all, their size is huge, and they are hidden under the sand, which is extremely difficult to kill, and the demon beasts of the seventh or eighth level of gold are not necessarily their opponents. And when they launched a raid on the first level, there were even rumors that it was impossible to dodge if they were not platinum.

Either you don't step into the trap, or you have the strength of the platinum level, otherwise it is a dead end.

When the surrounding giant teeth began to close, Brandon and the others immediately yearned to break through, as scouts of the reconnaissance troops, not to mention the combat effectiveness, the ability to break through was definitely good, otherwise how could they kill back from danger with the reconnaissance news?

In an instant, the seven members of the Sixth Reconnaissance Team used their own means, turning into seven streamers of light and breaking through to the outside of the trap. The seven people did not have any communication or hesitation at all, and chose seven different directions.

As long as one person breaks out, then he can rescue from the outside, and even if the rescue fails, he can go back with the news and tell the army that there are abnormal sandworms near the log oasis.

For the assembled army, the sandworm is definitely quite a terrible trap.

Brandon, as a gold third-level master, was naturally the fastest, and his green vine battle spirit formed a huge green wing behind him, and with a fierce wave, his speed was raised to the limit in an instant.

This is the reason why Brandon can become the leader of the reconnaissance team, his green vine battle spirit is not very good at combat power, but he is better in being flexible and changeable, with various changing forms, and turning into wings to temporarily have the ability to fly is his killer feature.

In his more than 1,000-year-old life, dangerous things happened more than once, but each time he survived with this characteristic of the green vine fighting spirit.

Rush, rush out and live!

Brandon took out a rune stone from his arms, it was a rune stone that he treasured, and it had the effect of a golden seventh-level master's full blow. It was a life-saving thing left to him by his father before he died, and he had treasured it for so many years and was reluctant to use it.

But at this time, he took it out without any hesitation, because he knew that as long as the big mouth of the sandworm was closed, he would definitely not be able to kill it again.

The rune stone was activated, and a golden light shot up in front of Bu Banden, slowing down one of the giant fangs of the sanddigger, and finally allowing Brandon to seize the fleeting opportunity to rush out of the closed giant mouth.

But Ilan Budi and the others didn't have that chance, and their speed was a step slower after all.

Brandon's body scraped against the small sharp teeth on the sandworm's mouth, and a large piece of flesh was scraped off, and his stomach was almost cut open.

But even so, he rushed out.

The wings of the Green Creeping Battle Spirit violently stirred behind him, taking him far away from the attack range of the sandworm before landing in embarrassment.

Blood was spilled all over the ground.

Brandon clutched his wound and struggled to get up, knowing that the sandworm would continue to attack him when he saw blood. Even if the sandworm doesn't act, the people in the log oasis must have seen the movement here, and maybe they will send someone to check it, and he must escape from a distance while he still has the ability to move.

At this thought, he didn't dare to make any stops, turned around and wanted to leave. But the moment he turned around, his pupils shrank suddenly.

A pair of colorful wings appeared before his eyes, and then it was black in front of his eyes.
