Chapter 344: Multi-Front Battlefield (3)
Through the hazy morning mist, Jon Arthur could faintly see the iconic Ancient Tree of Knowledge in the Elven Forest, its branches seeping into the sky like a light green cloud rising from the ground into the sky.
He asked the legendary spellcaster to prepare the Wizard's Eye in an attempt to detect the enemy's defense of the border in advance.
The team of the Elven Forest is very large, the main battle force is the powerful Chimera and the Giant Eagle, among which the adult Chimera with a body size of more than 15 meters alone has more than 100 on the battlefield, and the nimble and agile Evil Hunter and Elven Ranger are countless.
It's a formidable force...... Unfortunately, they were facing Kohor. Jon Arthur thought.
In his army, there were more than 3,000 well-trained and well-equipped knights, 1,000 strong crossbowmen armed with enchanted stubs, and as many as 6,000 hoplites, these were not ordinary people, and the Elven Forest only took advantage of the initial raid, and then was ruthlessly crushed by the Kohor army with its superior equipment, and suffered enough in the following fierce battle.
The commander of the other side is a smart and decisive fellow, and the repeated guerrilla tactics have caused him a lot of trouble, but in any case, Jon Arthur will not allow any more stalemate here, the Elven Forest is not a fortified city, and these good races probably did not expect a war to break out here, and did not build impenetrable walls, not even the necessary fortifications.
The sooner they enter the Elven Forest, the more eager and panicked the Black Dragon's side will be, and they will make a wrong judgment, and the better the chance of victory on the frontal battlefield, if the Black Dragon understands their strategic intentions, it will be very difficult to defeat the Northland.
He waved his hand to the guards beside him: "Prepare to charge." ”
The army behind them surged, and several streams of people came out of the array, led by several generals, and marched towards the interior of the Elven Forest - the light cavalry as the vanguard troops, followed by heavy knights in armor and horses, and the main force of this war.
To be honest, the forest environment of the Elven Forest is not suitable for cavalry, but it doesn't matter, as an army that relies on legendary spellcasters as the core, it has the means to change the terrain on a large scale, and it also has enough fighting styles to deal with various counterattacks from the other side.
The marching troops were not hindered, as the scouts had ascertained the situation in advance, and the aliens of the Elven Forest had retreated into it.
However, soon, the elves sounded the horn of counterattack, and in the intelligence, Jon Arthur learned that there were a large number of tree herders on the other side, but they had not appeared on the battlefield, and now they finally couldn't help but be exposed, and they manipulated all kinds of ancient trees to rise from the ground and launch an attack on the Kohor army.
At the same time, the Elven Ranger also relied on the intricacies of the jungle to fight back, giving the invaders a venomous arrow.
"Aliens can't walk an inch in the forest."
Through his peeping eye, Jon Arthur captured the figure of the Commander of the Elven Forest, a female Tia elf, with a fiery black and gold tiara, and a shining sword in her hand, standing in the treetops to inspire her people: "All we give to the invaders is blood and blades. ”
Jon Arthur looked at it for a moment, pursed his thin lips, and said, "What about Darrow?" ”
"Yes."
Messiah Darrow was still chewing on her tobacco leaves, looking thinner than the last time she appeared in the Northlands, and her hair was graying, revealing her figure from the shadows: "What's wrong?" ”
"See this elf?"
Jon Arthur pointed to the image presented by the peeping eye and said, "She is the commander of the opposing army, the god of the elves, if you can restrain her, it will bring a huge blow to the morale of the elven forest." Can you do it? ”
"Kill it."
Darrow glanced at the picture twice, wrote down Garcia's appearance, took out a dagger and turned it around twice in his hand, chewing tobacco leaves as if casually.
This is what thieves do, and it is not difficult to assassinate a creature that is not as strong as himself, but Darrow thought for a moment and then added: "But as a commander, this elf must be well protected, and I need a certain amount of time...... In addition, if the thing is successful, you have to add money. ”
She's been short of money lately.
"Yes." Jon Arthur nodded.
Ahead, the heavy cavalry is like a silver blade, and with the blessing of magic, it has stepped through the undulating jungle and fought into the rear of the Elven Forest team.
The sudden arrival of a cavalry in the forest was something Garcia did not expect, and the unprepared Elven Forest suddenly became a mess, and many rangers could not control the area they were responsible for in the chaos, and the formations overlapped, resulting in a gap in the defensive line and more human soldiers poured in.
Occasionally, the Evil Hunter tried to stop the heavy cavalry, but it was immediately impaled by the skilled and powerful knight with his spear, and it was the dragon hunter Beif Sora who led the unstoppable torrent and rushed at the forefront of the blade.
The legendary dragon hunter leader managed to emerge from the haze of his last defeat and charged the Kohor army this time with the enemy dodging everywhere he went, his spears and swords stained with blood.
An hour after the start of the battle, the Elven Forest at this time was already full of gunsmoke, and the Heavy Knights tore a gap with unparalleled force, and the opponent's resistance had long since lost its previous neatness, and it was forced to retreat to the central area of the Elven Forest.
"There's no way back for them, and they won't last long."
Jon Arthur thought that the center of the forest was the settlement of the good people, their blood, their roots, and these guys would not easily abandon the core area and retreat if they had a little persistence and faith.
"The good races have all shrunk back."
After waiting for a while, Baifu returned to the command station, wiped the sweat from his forehead, the blood stains in his palms left a few marks on his forehead - those were the blood of the enemy, he was still unharmed from the battle, the Elven Forest did not have the ability to deal with the legendary warriors, and Baifu would not impulsively disconnect from the team to give them a chance to besiege.
Jon Arthur took out the dwarven wine he had brought with him and handed it to him: "Very good, rest for a while, and when Lacarador clarifies the situation, we will deal a fatal blow to the other party." ”
After the Elven Forest army retreated, the Kohor side did not pursue it sensibly, because they did not know the other party's layout of the core area, and they would never act easily without understanding the information, so as not to fall into the trap.
Second, their team can't be stretched out too much at the moment, because they have to guard against the sudden attack of the alien dragon Targarion and be ready to leave the battlefield at any time, so Jon Arthur has also specially prepared a one-time magical artifact "Miracle Staff" - which can carry out a large-scale mass teleportation.
Jon Arthur and Byv drank for a while, but Lacarado, who went to investigate the situation, never sent back the news, and even the figure was never seen.
Lacarador is one of the dragon hunters, and he has always been stable and reliable, so it stands to reason that even if he doesn't investigate anything, he should be back at this time.
Jon Arthur suddenly panicked for no reason, did not receive Lakala's feedback, his hand trembled slightly, he realized that something was wrong, Lakala was afraid of the accident, and wanted to stabilize the situation, so that the legendary spellcaster could search for the traces of the dragon hunter.
Just then, a soldier suddenly replied: an unknown number of undead suddenly appeared behind them, approaching the Elven Forest.
