The ice and snow in the Dragon Cliff Forbidden Area melted, and in a blink of an eye, flowers were everywhere, Higg, Blue Fairy and Maria were here for nearly half a year, little Xindolph grew up very fast, and there was a big difference from when he first hatched, he could already transform into a human form, the appearance of a three-year-old elf, the only difference was that there were two golden dragon horns a few centimeters long on his head, he had not been able to recover his memory, according to Blue Fairy's words, these memories of his previous life need to be slowly recovered in the process of growing up, So that he can have a carefree childhood.

Lan Xian'er's life was the most fulfilling, and she snatched spiritual power with spirit beads in her four elephant arrays day and night, and realized her cultivation...... Keen on power, Maria arranged the affairs of the Dragon's Cliff in an orderly manner before handing them over to the deacons and elders.

The saddest Seeger, the task of incubating eggs is completed, but he has become Xindolph's wet nurse, every day with this little guy to travel between the mountains and rivers of Longya and Longtan, Xindolph can even carry Higg to do some short flights, Hig himself occasionally practice swords and magic, the spring season is coming, carefree days, finally come to an end.

Lan Xian'er could no longer absorb spiritual power, and this spiritual power was enough for her to cultivate for a while. The key issue is to find a way to obtain the spirit stone mine, because the spirit energy cannot be taken away by itself, but the spirit stone can be carried and used with you.

Maria was also tired of the internal affairs of Dragon Cliff, for him, the pattern was too small, there were more than twenty green dragons in total, how could there be so many affairs to manage?

……

When Sigg, Blue Fairy, Maria, and Sindalf returned to Schneider's village, it was already devastated, apparently battered by war, and Smecta and Little White Cloud had been waiting for Sigg's return. But it was too fast to see Higg go up the mountain alone, and when he came back, he took two women and a child with him!

"Sir!" Smecta hugged Higg tightly and said with emotion, "I thought you would never come back, I waited here for half a year!" ”

Xiao Baiyun doesn't have so much sentimentality, the second is to rub happily on Higg, which makes Hig quite emotional, this old friend, from the mythical beast fence to the present, one person and one beast gather less and leave more, every time it is Xiao Baiyun who works hard and complains, it has no companion in Middle-earth, no friend, except for himself, and he has left it again and again.

"What's going on here?" Higg asked Smecta.

Smecta said, "The druids swept through all the villages in the vicinity, most of the villagers fled into the depths of the jungle, and some followed my father!" ”

Higg asked curiously, "Where is your father Schneider now?" ”

"It should be in the city of Yaksa, more than three hundred kilometers to the east, and it was attacked a month ago!" Smecta said, "This is the capital of Frodo, and my father plans to set up a base camp there to fight the druids to the end!" ”

This surprised Higg, after Schneider raised the army, the development was so rapid, only half a year, he was able to attack the capital of a province, and he had to admire this military genius who was born as a leader.

"Stupid guy!" Sigg thought about it, something was wrong, "Oh no, I'm going to see him right away!" ”

"What's wrong? Who is stupid? Smecta was puzzled.

"Your father Schneider!" Higg said angrily, "He's fallen into the druid's trap!" ”

Smecta was taken aback and asked, "Sir, what do you say?" ”

Higg said, "Let's go to the city of Yaksa, and see your father, let's hope it's still in time!" With that, Higg looked back at Blue Fairy and Maria

"So what do we do?" Mary asked, "Are you going to leave us alone?" ”

"There you go!" Lan Xian'er said, "There can't be an accident on Schneider's side, otherwise the druids will have no restraint, and the more dangerous Korqin City will be!" Mary and I are on our way back to Korqin! ”

"How's that going to work?" Maria said unhappily, "I don't want to go into the mountains anymore!" ”

"Shut up!" Lan Xian'er said angrily, "If you don't leave, stay by yourself, or go back to the Dragon Cliff Forbidden Area!" ”

Mary immediately bowed her head and said aggrievedly, "Let's go!" Anyway, I have my son with me! ”

Higg smiled and pinched Sindolph's face, then turned to Smecta and said, "Get on the horse, go!" ”

Blue Fairy and Maria, looking at Sig, Smecta and Little Baiyun, hurriedly mounted their horses and galloped in the direction of Yaksa City, and the two also set off to the west......

……

Yaksa City, a large city in the middle of the Druids, more than 500 kilometers to the northwest, is the Druid King City Ningguta, which is not within the defensive circle of Ningguta, but the defensive circle of Ningguta can easily radiate here.

Although the druid's regular army is only three legions and one million, if the real war is mobilized, the number of troops will definitely double within half a year, which is the basic operation of a national reserve army, all countries in Middle-earth have such a reserve mechanism, the key is that under what circumstances, the druids will activate the war mobilization mechanism, and to what extent the mobilization intensity and depth will reach. For example, the second-level combat readiness can mobilize 300,000 to 500,000 people to join the armed forces, and the first-level combat readiness can be increased by 600,000 to 800,000 people, and the special combat readiness represents all-out war, and the war machines of all countries will immediately become operational, and the increase in the number of troops depends on the amount of resources of the country, and how many people can be armed, and how many people will be armed to join the army.

Therefore, the national standing army is the number of troops in a non-war environment, and it is generally to find an optimal combination between national security and national resources, which can not only ensure national security, but also save the country's expenditure on the army. But in the event of a war, the country's resource budget takes precedence over the army, so that more people can be armed. Just like Erathia, the total strength of Catherine's three legions is more than two million, the total strength of Arad's seven theaters is four million, plus the volunteers and local forces, the total strength of the entire Erathia is more than eight million, if it is in peacetime, the proportion of such an army is very deformed, but Catherine and Arad have activated the national special combat readiness mechanism, and the national resources are limited to the army, service and war to the greatest extent, then it is not surprising that the army with seven or eight million people is retained. Of course, this is also related to the size of the country, the size of the population, the amount of resources, and the ability of the national government to mobilize for war.

Therefore, don't look at the druids at the beginning of the war with only one million troops, but after the war occurs in various places, the decision-makers will make an assessment based on the scale, size, and development prospects of the war, and then decide what level of war mobilization order to initiate, not that the elimination of the druid's one million army is equivalent to the destruction of the druids in this country.

There was a peaceful atmosphere inside and outside the city of Yaksa, the morale of the army was high, and the happy mood of the soldiers and civilians was written on their faces. But Higg arrived in a chill, and he smelled the smell of danger, which had spread through all the surrounding spaces of Yaksa City.

Without stopping, for two days and one night, Sig, Smecta and Little White Cloud arrived at the foot of the city of Yaksa, and the general of the defenders of the city gate knew Smecta and entered the city without bother. Higg didn't rest, and went straight to the largest druid mansion in the city to find Schneider.

"Ah, Venerable Mr. Spirit!" When Schneider saw Higg, he respectfully said, "I feel honored to welcome you to my home base!" ”

"Humph! Base camp? Ignoring any etiquette, Higg picked up the teacup that the maid had just brought him, and drank it all in one gulp, so surprised that the maid's eyes widened, and she did not understand how this man, whom his chief called a god, drank such hot tea.

"You go down!" Higg shouted to the maids and guards.

The guards and maids looked at Higg in surprise, then at Schneider, and when they saw Schneider nodding, they all retreated.

"Schneider, do you think your wings are stiff and you can't live forever?" Higg asked angrily.

Schneider hurriedly said, "Mr. Spirit, how do you say this?" ”

"Call me Mr. Higg, there are no gods here!" Higg continued to speak angrily, not giving Schneider a good face at all.

"Yes, Mr. Higg!" Schneider wiped his sweat and said.

"How many men do you have now?" Higg asked.

"More than 50,000 people!" Schneider replied.

"More than 50,000 people dare to attack the city of Yaksa?" Higg asked.

Schneider seemed a little smug and said: "Because we got the news that the city of Yaksa is empty, and there are only a few thousand defenders, so we built a big bargain!" ”

"How about your soldiers' equipment compare to that of the druid's regular army?" Higg continued.

Schneider said embarrassedly: "I started the army in a hurry, of course, the equipment is much worse than the regular army, many people can't even match leather armor, and the weapons are also varied, and some are still holding kitchen knives, but after occupying Yaksa City, I have already ordered to make every effort to build weapons and equipment, and there are ......"

"If it's peacetime, how many defenders will there be in Yaksa City?" Higg interrupted Schneider and continued.

Schneider didn't understand what Higg meant by these words, and said a little unhappily: "The garrison of Yaksa City has at least 10,000 people in peacetime, and most of them have been transferred out to encircle and suppress us, and we have taken advantage of the loopholes!" ”

Higg smiled: "In the past six months, you have been active all over the province of Frodo, and your enemy will empty such an important capital city force, leaving only some old and weak to defend the city?" If it were you, would you do it? ”

"Of course not, but with the military order in place, they must destroy me, and they have to do it!" Schneider said unconvinced.

"You're wandering around in the jungle, how can your opponent kill you?" Higg sneered, "If you're a druid, how should you kill such an opponent?" ”

Schneider was very curious about why Higg was so interested in these questions, thought about it, and said: "Mobilize them out of the jungle, set up pockets, and annihilate them in one fell swoop!" ”

"Your opponent has already done it!" Higg said angrily, "Can't you see that Yaksa City is the bait that you fished?" ”

"Using the city as bait?" Schneider was skeptical, "If that's the case, then why are there weapons and armor in the military warehouses in the city, military rations in the grain warehouses, and many war materials haven't been moved?" ”

"Why can't Fucheng be used as bait?" Higg sneered, "People are as small as you. Those weapons warehouses and military rations are not left to you, will you live in peace and not be suspicious? How many druids have you captured in the city? ”

Schneider broke out in a cold sweat and said, "No, they all ran away in advance!" ”

"I'm afraid that the jungle outside the city is now full of druid armies lurking!" Higg continued to sneer, "It's ridiculous that you still have this as your base camp!" ”

"What, it's true?" Schneider was taken aback, hurriedly got up and said, "I'll gather the army and kill it immediately!" ”

"What's the panic?" Higg was even more furious, "If you want to run, you don't rush at this moment!" ”
