In fact, Artoria had received a letter from her brother Enleko from the Great Lakes a month earlier. In the letter, Lu Xi described his strategic plan in a very delicate manner. Although this girl is a stupid white sweet natural fool, she is not stupid after all, of course, she has normal reasoning ability, and it is easy to complete the following reasoning process. The enemy seems to be crazy - the enemy may have a big problem - the enemy is about to run out of food - the enemy's rear should be out of trouble - Lu Xi's middle army has won - Lu Xi's strategy must have been a great success!

It must be noted that logically there is no problem at all.

In the eyes of Prince Char, the old Count of Dalma, and the rest of the coalition generals, Lu Xi's strategy was actually quite risky. It is very likely that the lone army will not find the enemy in the hinterland of the orcs, and it is even more likely that the supply line will be cut off by the enemy, and it is very likely that the whole army will be wiped out in the cold, sleepiness, hunger, and confusion of not being able to find the direction. Even Olivier has some hanging...... However, only Artoria, the nominal commander of the coalition forces, was the only one who had 100% trust in Lu Xi.

Now, she is even more sure that her trust is correct.

"Leave them alone! Just hold the line! Artoria repeated her command: "In three or five days, we will see each other!" ”

She must be right. The orcs found that their provocation on the north bank of the river had not had the desired effect, and seemed to be in a state of confusion. After hesitating for a while, they let out an even more frantic roar, and under the torsos of the cyclops and the orcs, a large number of goblins rushed into the icy Mubohair River like a horde of fleeing rats, and began to countercharge.

They let out that hysterical scream of fear to the extreme, and they screamed and charged. Many goblins were pushed by their companions behind them, and fell directly into the river with a pop, and then fell into the water with a clatter. They struggled to their feet in panic, only to find that the river had only spilled over their necks. It seemed that the orcs, who were following the goblins, pressed the long planks against the goblins' heads, forcing them on. As a result, a series of simple pontoon bridges that can be called primitive were built in this way.

Well, what we need to know is that on the world map, the Mubohair River is not too conspicuous Mingchuan Stream. After separating the Elgo Grasslands from the Grey Giants, it will continue to flow eastward. It will then be rerouted at the eastern end of Mount Namoa, passing through a valley between the mountains and into the sea from the Henas Peninsula, winding for more than a thousand kilometres. However, it is still not a large river with abundant water, and it does not have any famous aquatic products.

In addition, as we can see from the geographical location, this is the upper reaches, which is formed by the stream that has just melted from the snow of the iceberg, and the current is not very fast, and the deepest point is only a little more than a meter, and the river is certainly not very wide. In fact, on the hundred-mile-long stretch of river between the Elgo Grassland and the Chaos Giant Field, the widest place was no more than 100 meters, and the narrow place was even more than 30 meters. As a result, the narrowest section of the river has naturally become the focus of contention between the armies on both sides - the narrower the place, the better it is to cross the river, which is common sense.

Thus, the average width of the strip is less than 40 meters, the length reaches 2 kilometers, and there are shoals on both sides, which is the main contention between the two sides. This is also where Artoria's home is - she has never been the kind of intelligent commander who has been on the front line in almost every battle. From the perspective of extreme reality, this is not too wise to choose, after all, there is no one to guarantee that she, as the commander of the first army, will not suddenly die of a cold arrow. However, we must also know that there are indeed commanders and even kings in this world who personally lead troops to charge into battle and use their heroic posture to inspire ordinary soldiers. This is especially true in this martial world.

If you have to be more serious, not counting Artoria, a stupid white sweet natural who points all her talents to martial arts, is Karin's world's first empress with a ten-headed body, obviously taking the route of a black-bellied conspirator who is more than happy on the outside, but he also has the experience of personally leading troops to charge into battle.

So, looking at this group of orcs who began to charge, Artoria, who was ten times more interested in slashing people than Karin, was very excited to raise the oath and the sword of victory.

"This group of outsiders is just a dying struggle! However, even though they are enemies, we should also show a minimum of respect for their courage! Come on! Warriors of Nord, come with me and renew their ......"

"So, what is the continuation, where did you learn this kind of bandit slang!" Olivier grabbed his sister's cloak and felt the urge to cover his forehead and sigh.

"Your Highness, you have also said that they are dying and struggling, and this senseless battle does not require your courage! It's better to recharge your batteries and wait until the most opportune moment. Count Dalma also persuaded.

"yes, you've been here all day, why don't you go get something to eat and get some rest? Soon our good friend Lu Xi is coming, don't you want to greet him with a better mental outlook? "Why does this sound like a pimp, and it's my cutest sister? As soon as Olivier said this, he wanted to slap himself in the face. He was sure that if Brother Char, who was urging food in the rear, heard it, he would also give himself a slap in the face.

However, Artoria listened to this, her expression did not change, and a red glow flashed quickly on her cheeks, and her posture was obviously a little excited. She stopped on the spot and hesitated.

"But here, it's going to be fine, right?" The knight princess, who is full of sense of responsibility and integrity, feels that if she leaves her post without permission because of her own personal affairs, it is really unreasonable for him.

You know, in the confrontation that lasted for more than a year, the silly white sweet, no, fair and strict Artoria always led the Nord army directly under her command - after a slow increase in troops, it has reached 30,000 people, and confronted the orcs on the shoals of the first line of Mubohair, and never retreated to the rear to repair, not even for a day. She is looking for an opportunity to charge across the river, and at the same time, she has to contend with various counter-charges from the Orc Southern Cluster. As a result, after the tug-of-war between large and small, the knight princess became more and more adept at using the power of the Atlas Holy Pattern, and more than ten famous orc warriors died under her oath and sword of victory. Artoria knew that she was not a brilliant general, and that being on the front lines to inspire her soldiers was how she fulfilled the duties of a military commander, even if in name.

At least, for now, Artoria has done a good job. Not only the Virgian soldiers under her own control, but also the Nord lords and chiefs of various tribes, large and small, even the twilight elves who are almost impossible to praise and arrogant to the core, have all praised her.

The old earl smiled dumbly and patted his chest hard: "Your Highness, the old minister's body has not yet reached the point of being old and useless. And you need to understand that a good leader is not only about learning to motivate his soldiers, but also about trusting his deputies and generals. This is very important! ”

Artoria hesitated, but by this time, two thousand elven troops had arrived on the battlefield in time. This group of high-elf professional troops from Twilight Island is about the first in the world in terms of gorgeousness, right? Regardless of gender, each soldier is more than 1.8 meters tall, with a model-like slender figure, but it is by no means the thin and weak of the stage, full of cheetah-like fitness and agility.

Each of their soldiers was dressed in gold, striped armor decorated with sun and vine flowers, and wore a helmet as delicate as a handicraft. Dressed in dark red, blue, and dark green uniforms, they indicate that they are soldiers from each of the three Flag Regiments, the largest combat unit in the Twilight Island High Elves Army.

The height of the tall elves was originally the tallest in the elven population, and could even be compared to the Nords. When they all walked on the battlefield in gorgeous golden shining armor, they were indeed vicious, and they supported the allies around them quite dick (meow). Indeed, in comparison, the Nords in front of them looked like chaotic bandits.

The standard weapons of the Twilight Elven Infantry are usually a large bow that can be used as an artifact, two bundles of arrows, and melee weapons, depending on each soldier's martial arts characteristics and battlefield location. When it comes to archery, their accuracy is actually below that of the Wood Elves, however......

"Ready!" The elven general standing at the front shouted loudly. This is a female general, her voice is not very loud, but it instantly spreads throughout the army, obviously through the magic bonus.

Then, the elven flag bearers planted their flags on the ground. The aura of magic flowed on the banner engraved with magic runes, forming a perfect magic node. More majestic magic spread in the connection of the magic nodes, forming a huge magic array covering all the elven arrays.

Two thousand elves bent their bows and arrows at about the same moment, and their movements were uniformly like robots.

"Boom!" The sound of the arrows being ejected by the bowstring also exploded at the same moment, and the sound of breaking through the air barrier formed a roar that was almost like an explosion, and after passing through the barrier of the magic array, in an instant, each entity's arrows turned into more than ten arrows of light under the effect of magic, like a real downpour, and slanted into the river and the enemy army on the other side of the river.

"Rain of arrows!" This is a skill that can only be used by the most powerful High Elf warriors, and is the perfect combination of archery and magic. However, the top-level elven treasures can find a way to outline a very subtle magic rune of the Arrow Rain Array on the banner, so that the unfolded military flag has an effect similar to that of a magic scroll. In this way, under the effect of the banner's magic range, almost every elven archer can be transformed into a high elf archer master who can use the "Arrow Rain Array".

…… Well, of course, the scroll buff of the cottage can't be compared to the live caster, but what if thousands, or even tens of thousands, of people get the buff together at the same time?

Originally, the range of elven bows and arrows could reach more than 300 meters. At this moment, the range of the elves' rain of arrows was once again bonus, not only covering the width of the river, but also directly extending into the dense orc army formation on the opposite side. The dozen or so hairless orangutan-like cyclops are of course within the scope of their effects. Then, only a scream of mourning was heard, and most of the goblins driving the pontoon bridge were killed and injured in an instant, and the river was instantly destroyed...... Uh, a stinker. And the dense array of goblins on the other side of the river also fell down like a ploughed rice meadow. Of course, there are those who were killed directly, and more of them are about the "smart people" who squatted with their heads in their hands and shrunk into a trembling ball, right? Don't underestimate these creatures, they are more proficient than almost any other sapient race when it comes to how to increase their chances of survival.

The cyclops also did not please either, and half of them were torn into hedgehogs on the spot and fell to the ground on the spot. The other half fled with wounds and wails - despite the fact that this creature has such a mountain-like size and vitality, it has never been a particularly brave fighting race. After so many years, the status of the cyclops has always been very embarrassing, they obviously have such strength and people, but they have never been able to replace the "human" population year by year, the species is declining, and the whole Beamon, who is about to be extinct, has the status of the totem in the world in the minds of the orcs, which is probably the reason, right?

Soon, all the pontoon bridges built by the orcs in the rain of arrows collapsed. This time, the fear of the enemy completely dominated the goblins' bodies and minds, and when they came, they were like a sea of insects, and they all retreated like rats that had encountered natural enemies, and all of them retreated to the north shore. The orcs of the Overseer slaughtered many deserters, but they were unable to stop the retreat. Soon, they themselves were named and headshot by the elves one by one. This time, no one could stop the goblins from disintegrating.

In this case, if the Nords and elves launch a counter-charge, they may really be able to rush across the river. However, at this time, the corpses of the goblins that had accumulated in the river suddenly swelled and exploded. Soon, a disgusting smell of foul smell and corpse poison filled the river and air.

"It's this method again,......" Olivier sighed, "what the ugliest thing in the world, with the ugliest material, the ugliest means to be used!" However, for a while, we just couldn't use these methods. ”

"It's all my fault." Artoria sighed faintly, revealing a sad expression of self-loathing, "If I had worked harder while I was in Henas, there wouldn't have been so many lichs and necromancers escaping from there. The orcs wouldn't have thought of polluting the river with a massive corpse explosion to prevent us from forcibly crossing it. ”

"Artoria, none of us blame you! As a commander, you must also understand that there will be a time when manpower will eventually run out, and you will not be able to really block Henas to the point where not even a fly can fly. Olivier advised.

Artoria nodded silently, but her face was still not good. Olivier sighed, thinking that his sister's biggest advantage was that she was too responsible, and in a sense, this could actually be regarded as the biggest weakness. Probably, only that person was able to persuade her......

In short, as the goblins and cyclops retreated, the two sides resumed their standoff. The High Elf druids, along with the few Federation mages who remained in the army, walked to the river and began to purify it with magic. If these corpse poisons are left untreated, they will inevitably go down the river and bring great havoc to both sides of the strait. However, we all know that detoxification cannot be as fast as detoxification. As a result, a group of undead remnants who fled to the orc army dragged the elves and the Federation's large number of spellcasters alive with corpse explosion techniques and almost inexhaustible corpses.

"Wait for the good news from Lu Xi's side." Olivier said to his sister, "Don't you trust him so much? ”

Artoria bit her lip and nodded silently, and was about to leave, when she suddenly thought of something, smelled her clothes, and her brows suddenly wrinkled even tighter.

"I'm going to take a shower!" She said: "I only think about it now, I have been on the front line for more than a week, and I haven't even taken a shower once!" ”

…… You're just finding out now, huh? Are you really still a girl?

"Also, prepare for me...... Uh, soap? Yes, it's soap! ”

Are you really a girl? However, such a clumsy sister is even cuter!

"There's also lotion, floral essence and incense, which is at least standard for girls! By the way, you can also try the jewelry, dresses and cosmetics that Her Majesty Opimia sent from Twilight Island last time. By the way, why did His Majesty Opimia send you these things for some reason? ”

"yes, why? I haven't seen her once. ”
