Chapter 210: Usher

This is the case now.

Lin Xiao had a total of four people and two beasts.

Lin Xiao, Ellie, Youyou, Elusie, Po, Xiaochunzi.

The grades are Silver Level 9, Gold Level 6, Gold Level 3, Crystal Level 9, Platinum Level 1 and Platinum Level 9.

And the situation on the side of Gettier is.

An elven squadron, which belongs to the country's Eighth Legion, is responsible for providing logistical support for various elven legions, and is a legion specializing in logistics support.

But it would be a mistake to think that the elven warriors of this legion are all rookies. Because of some traditions of the elven clan, the recruits are put in the second-line rear regiment to prepare for war at any time. For example, under normal circumstances, the expeditionary force is a mix of new recruits and veterans.

And those veterans who have served on the battlefield for more than the allotted time will instead retire to the third-line troops. That is, the local security and logistics corps.

This is the composition of the Eighth Legion.

A legion formed by experienced elven veterans.

In terms of absolute combat effectiveness, of course, they are not as good as the elite elven warriors in their prime, but if you want to say how weak they are, it doesn't necessarily, they really have to spread out and fight, without caring about casualties, the average one-soldier legion may not be able to beat these veterans.

Combat experience, soul power, combat skills, etc. are all advantages of these veterans. It's just that with the increase of age, coupled with the old injuries on the battlefield, the overall combat effectiveness of these veterans has decreased, plus the elves are a race where all people are soldiers, and military service is almost lifelong.

Ordinary elves can live to be three thousand years old, and around two hundred and seventy years old, even if they are formal adults, they have officially received all the education and skill training, and then they will be incorporated into the army, until they are two thousand years old, for such a long time, they are all soldiers.

If it's a first-line legion, it's a professional soldier, and if it's a second-class legion but not a recruit, it's half-civilian and half-soldier. If it is a third-line legion, then when there is no task, they are civilians.

At this time, even if the elves are semi-retired, when there is no combat mission, they will do what civilians should do.

Farming, business, crafts, and more.

And after two thousand years old, it will be regarded as an official retirement, and the elves at this time have two choices, one is to be completely civilian, that is, to completely ignore the affairs of the army, and live completely in a civilian way.

The other is to become an adviser to the military or relevant departments.

Of course, each clan will be a little different, for example, the Night Elves retired earlier, and after they retired, they basically followed the path of craftsmen and artists. The wood elves are more of a business route, and the blood elves are the latest to retreat, and even the blood elves of some places are not honest after retiring, but begin to run to other continents to adventure.

Therefore, most of the pure-blood elves seen in the other two continents are elves after the age of two thousand.

This age is equivalent to the age after the age of sixty of human beings, although the combat effectiveness has weakened, but the skills, experience, etc. can be said to be the most abundant time.

The elves did not show their old age until they were two thousand five hundred years old, and then rapidly weakened in the last five hundred years. Many elves do not even live to be 3,000 years old because of old injuries when they were young, and some elves live past 3,000 years old because they are in good health.

Three thousand years old is an average age, and it is directly related to its own strength, for every major level of promotion, it will extend the lifespan of at least two hundred years, which is also calculated according to the human physique, and elves will often have an extension of three hundred years. Therefore, the lifespan of those diamond-level elders of the elven clan can be imagined.

This was the case with the Eighth Legion, which was made up of a group of elven veterans between 1,600 and 2,000 years old.

Most of them may be old farmers in the fields when they don't have tasks, they may be craftsmen in a workshop, or they may be the smiling shopkeepers of a shop.

As soon as the mission is assigned, they will immediately put on their armor and become experienced warriors again.

This is also the reason why the population of the elves is only half of the demon race, but only one-tenth of the human race, but it is still so powerful that neither the demon race nor the human race dare to attack the elf race casually.

It is because if the elves are attackers, the two races can also use the home field advantage and population advantage to repel the elves, but if the humans and the demon clan invade the elf clan, even if the two clans join forces, it will really force the elf clan to be anxious, and it will be very easy for people to get tens of millions of warriors out. The demon clan can't be defeated just like humans.

Of course, the biggest reason why the three tribes remained at peace most of the time was that they were divided into continents, and if they were all on one continent, they would probably have to fight a major war every hundred years.

After all, the relationship between the three clans on the whole is that everyone looks down on each other, and everyone wants to annex whom. This has little to do with which ethnic group is closer to which ethnic group in some people.

Under the general tone of the whole race, the bias of a certain part of the population does not play a big role.

The number of an elven legion is between 50,000 and 80,000, depending on the nature of the legion. As a logistics corps, the Eighth Army Corps has a maximum strength of 80,000 men.

And a corps is generally divided into three to five brigades, each of which is divided into three to five squadrons, which in turn are divided into three to five squadrons.

That is, the Eighth Army had a total of five brigades, twenty-five squadrons, one hundred and twenty-five squads. Six hundred and forty men per squad, three thousand two hundred men per squadron, and sixteen thousand men per brigade.

The 8th Army Corps stationed a squadron directly and permanently in Getil.

Moreover, after looking at the banner, you also know that this squadron is the most elite squadron of the Eighth Legion, and it is composed of soldiers who have just retired from the main army on the front line. The personnel of this squadron will last only five years. After that, they will be transferred to other teams.

That is to say, in a sense, the combat effectiveness of this squadron of the Eighth Legion is basically not inferior to the combat effectiveness of any squadron of any main legion of the Elven Clan.

This particular squadron is called "Usher", an Elvish word used to describe veterans who are about to leave the battlefield but still carry a glorious outfit.

To put it more bluntly, the Usher squadron is a unit that specially adjusts the mentality of fighters who have just retired from the main army and have not yet adjusted their mentality, which is not conducive to integrating into civilian life.

Basically, the people who will be sent to this squadron are the kind of people who are said to kill too many people on the battlefield, and killing people has become a habit, and then even if they retire from the battlefield, they will be suspicious for a long time, and they have severe battlefield syndrome.

Naturally, there are not too many people like this, and every five years, the elves can only gather more than 3,000 people, and sometimes if they can't get together, the establishment of the Usher squadron is not full.

It's a pity that Lin Xiao and the others are now facing a full army of Usher, which is expressed on the military flag in the tradition of elves. The secluded parents were often the clerks of the former elven kings, and they were clear about these things. Youyu is naturally familiar with these things.

So the situation is more awkward now.

Lin Xiao's lineup of four people and two beasts is not low, and the lineup is not bad, but what they have to face is an elven squadron composed of elite battlefield murderers who have just retired for less than five years - there are 3,200 people!

To be honest, if Elucie recovers his dragon form, Lin Xiao and the three of them will fight with all their strength recklessly, with Lin Xiao's lineup of four people and two beasts, they will have the ability to fight Usher out.

No matter how elite the Usher squadron is, it is mainly composed of silver warriors, supplemented by gold warriors, no more than two platinum powerhouses, and no more than platinum level 5.

You Yu is very sure of this, because the elven warriors whose strength exceeds the platinum level 5 will not retreat to the eighth legion, even if they are completely retired, they will be the advisors of the legion, and the elven warriors who exceed the platinum level 5 will directly enter the master group. The elven clan will not waste such a master and powerhouse in logistics.

Therefore, Lin Xiao and their reckless hard work can definitely win, but the result is very likely that only Elusie can go back with the injury, and Ah Bao and Xiao Chunzi may be able to save their lives depending on their luck. But Lin Xiao's three daughters will definitely not survive.

No matter how much equipment Tang Dou gave Lin Xiao and Ellie, no matter how wise and intelligent a woman Youyou was, he couldn't ignore the fact that they had no support now, their numbers were scarce, and their own strength was limited.

You must know that they are not facing a group of recruits, but a group of battlefield murderers who are so red-eyed on the battlefield that they can't integrate into civilian life normally.

These people are simply a fierce soldier until they have all the sharpness and edges and corners gone.

In fact, although the members of the Usher only have a five-year theoretical service period, many elven veterans served here until they died—not old age or battle, but they were unable to end their battlefield syndrome and died of madness.

Many of Usher's veterans serve another five years if they can't get rid of their battlefield syndrome, during which time they feel that their battlefield syndrome is gone, and they can leave at any time if they pass the test, but if they don't work within five years, they will be sent to a special unit and placed under semi-house arrest.

This way is cruel, but it is also unforgiving, even these veterans know very well in their hearts that there is no way to calm their battlefield syndrome, they will even hurt their families, and they themselves will not return home.

And most of the veterans who can't calm the battlefield syndrome are familyless, or it can be said that without the ties of their families, it is even more difficult for them to calm their battlefield syndrome.

And such veterans often choose to end their lives at the age of about nine and a half years. This is something that even the Elven Royalty can't prohibit.

If a soul cultivator wants to give up his life, even if he is watched by someone twenty-four hours a day, it is useless. You can't just abolish the other party's cultivation, right?

So the Usher squadron is a rather dangerous squadron, both against the enemy and against the elves themselves. This is a sword that has been sharpened too sharply on the battlefield, hurting others and hurting oneself.

Yu Yu told Lin Xiao and Ellie about the situation of Usher's squadron in detail. So the three girls began to frown sadly - Elucie doesn't count, when she doesn't fight, this dragon girl can basically only be used to sell cuteness and relieve boredom.

"The Gatil Oasis must be taken, if this place is not destroyed, the three oases we destroyed before will have no meaning at all, and the logistics troops of the Elven Expeditionary Force only need to walk a few hundred miles more to complete the reconnection of the supply line. Even if they have enough material support, it is not impossible to directly open up the missing parts! "Ellie is quite familiar with the environment in Central, so she knows the importance of the Getil Oasis.

As a mouthpiece, it is the connecting hub of the central area of Central, and even the people of Central have always had rumors that those who are Gatil will get Central.

It's just that no power territory in Central has this ability, not even the one of Ellie's father, who was once the most powerful.

"Gatil is indeed going to be destroyed, in the previous expedition records, there is no record of Gatil being garrisoned, this elf expedition is different, so Narius has other arrangements!" Yu Yu sighed, "But our current strength doesn't seem to be able to take down Gatir. Even with Elusie's orders, those sanddiggers wouldn't have fought to the death with Usher's squadron. It's against their nature, and dragon deterrence is useless! ”

The dragon's deterrent allows Elucie to command the beasts, but that command is like a strong thug threatening a weak civilian to cut people. Civilians may be slashed by threats, but no matter how strong this thug is, can he order this civilian to ram an oncoming train? Can he ask this civilian to commit suicide?

No one with a pit in their brains will agree to this kind of direct death-seeking behavior.

Obviously, the sandworm or other monster beast may not have a very smart brain, but it certainly has no pit.

"As a big oasis, there are not many demon beasts within three hundred miles around, Elucie has sensed it just now, there are only two sandworms within eight hundred miles, and there are two or three other types of demon beasts, and it is impossible to launch a demon beast siege!" Lin Xiao shook his head.

"We don't have time to go back and bring people in, because we don't necessarily have enough people and we don't have that time. One day at most, the elves will discover the three ruined oases, and they will surely think of our actions, and then it will be too late for us to do anything. And in a day's time, we won't be able to get to a location where we can teleport back to Avalon! Ellie also sighed worriedly.

The three girls sighed in unison again, and they were a little overwhelmed for a while.

They didn't think about ending up with the Getir Oasis, it was a choice that they didn't have to think about, even if the mission to destroy the supply line failed, the situation was not so bad that it would require a few girls to sacrifice.

Lin Xiao knew even more that if he really did this, even if he could go back alive, he would be directly shot to death by Tang Dou. What's more, Tang Dou has repeatedly asked for Elucie's help during the operation, but he must not reveal Elucie's identity as a dragon, that is, he can't let Elucie restore his original form as a dragon.

So what should we do?

"I have a way!"
