Not all of the land in the vast land of Titaria is muddy swamps, strictly speaking, the great Tytalia Swamp is actually connected by a series of swamps of various sizes, and between these swamps there are a small number of solid lands of different sizes, which are the main areas of the Titalia settlement, and of course, among the swamps there are also villages made up of shacks built on trees, but they are generally small in size, major cities and villages, It must be located on those solid grounds.

Because only such land can people build strong and tall castles, and relying on castles, large cities can be formed.

Therefore, whoever wants to conquer this swamp and become the master of the swamp must first conquer the cities and castles on these solid lands, the necromancers did this, the Krurod people did this, and the emperor who entered the swamp again after hundreds of years did this, of course.

Located on the edge of the marshland, the city of Ajwaters is one such city, where there is a castle that resembles a pyramid in the marshes, and the castle is of course called Fort Ajwater.

The city of Eyl-level water is a key city from the Erathia Empire into the Tetalia Swamp, the geographical location is quite critical, once prosperous, is a necessary place for merchants to trade between the two countries, but now, due to the invasion of necromancers, it has long become an empty city, the inhabitants of the city either died in the war, or fled into the surrounding swamp area, and the rest, also in the latest undead army to suppress the resistance, all of them became the necromancer's materials for making undead creatures, the city of Nuoda, Now all that is left is empty streets and houses, a mess, and the usual fog in the swamps makes the city as terrifying as a dead city.

Previously, the undead army had been using this place as an outpost to defend the border, and there was an undead army stationed in Fort Aighwater, and after the emperor ** killed, the undead army abandoned the city, so the city became popular again.

Nowadays, it has become an important bridgehead and material transit point for the Imperial Expeditionary Force to attack the Tetalia Marsh, and Mlak took a fancy to the fortified Fort Aijworth and the local transportation in all directions, and used it as his own logistics base, in which a large number of various military supplies were gathered, everything was available, and an elite imperial ** team was sent to garrison it.

With the development of the war, the emperor ** kept going deep into the swamp, Ai and Walter City also became lively, every day, there are a large number of materials from the empire transported here, and then, a large number of materials are loaded and transported to the front-line troops, the emperor ** attaches great importance to the safety of the logistics route, although there is no trace of undead creatures in this area, but the emperor ** team escorting the transport team along the way is endless.

Altyn's plan was to attack the emperor of Ai and Waters Fort, seize the astonishing amount of materials in the hands of the opponent, so as to improve the problem of food shortage and backward equipment of the rebel army, and also by striking the enemy's logistics route, so that the emperor ** on the front line fell into a dilemma.

The purpose of this plan is quite beautiful, but the reality is cruel, the Imperial defenders of Fort Edney are not something that the current Edney Army can confront head-on, even if there are many rebels who are willing to form an alliance with them and act together, I am afraid that there is not much chance of victory, so Edney needs Tanan to help her make a good plan to see if she can use any way to make the resistance defeat the strong with the weak.

This makes Tanan very depressed, although he is known as the god of war, but he is not a real god, the resistance army's magic power is insufficient, long-range firepower is weak, many soldiers use sharpened wooden clubs and stone axes, and heavy siege equipment is not the same, such an army, to capture a strong castle guarded by heavy soldiers? Are you kidding?

However, Altyn had a different opinion, pointing to a dense forest on the map in the northeast of the city of Aighwater, and the wolf-headed monster said excitedly: "We can use the method of striking east and west to lure out the defenders in the castle!" Destroy their main force outside before attacking the castle! I've been in the city of Ajvourt before, and I know the terrain well, and this dense forest is a great place for a large number of troops to hide, and it's not very far from the road, and of course, only our army of Tytalia can hide in such a swamp! We can hide the main force here and send another army to attack the convoys on the road, and if the momentum is a little bigger, I think the defenders in the castle should send reinforcements to rescue the convoys, and we can destroy them in the field by luring them into an ambush circle! And greatly weaken the castle's defenses! Of course, we must move fast enough, after destroying the enemy's main force, we must complete the capture of the castle and evacuate within two days, otherwise, the emperor from elsewhere will surround us! ”

Altyn's words made Edney nod again and again, but Tanan poured cold water on the two of them: "Why do you think that with our current strength, we can defeat the enemy's main force in the field?" And it's all annihilated? What if the war doesn't go well? What if the enemy escapes back to the castle? Relying on courage alone, it is impossible for our soldiers to defeat the well-equipped emperor**, and more importantly, the courage of the other party is not inferior to ours! The number is far more than us! The combat effectiveness of the emperor ** is obvious to all! In addition, even if there are fewer defenders in the castle, with our current situation, it is not so easy to capture it in two days! ”

But immediately, Tanan realized that everything he had said was not working as it should, for both Edney and Alkin were looking at him expectantly, apparently thinking that he had a solution to the problem.

In the end, the immortal hero could only sigh helplessly: "Okay, okay, you go and try to convince those rebels who are willing to ally with us to agree to obey my command for the time being, only in this way, I can help you win this battle, if you can't even do this, then this plan is better to cancel!" ”

Edney and Alkin glanced at each other, and couldn't help laughing, Edney whispered to Tanan: "Regarding this matter, we have already done it, although not all, but most of the rebels are willing to temporarily unify their command, and your deeds of taming the hydra make them happy to hand over their beast tamers and beast armies to you in this battle, and everyone is looking forward to you, the so-called descendant of you, to show your demeanor again!" ”

The last sentence was a bit tongue-twisting, and Alkin couldn't help but laugh out loud.

A few days later, on a road near the city of Aijwater, a convoy carrying various military supplies was slowly moving towards the city of Aijwater.

The road conditions in the swamp are quite poor, compared to other places, the soil here is a little too soft, if the weight of the carriage is too much, the wheels will easily sink into the ground, a dilemma, so, driving on the road of Titaria, the load capacity of the carriage can only reach half of the usual amount, this situation undoubtedly greatly increases the logistical pressure of the emperor, because they have to pay double the effort to complete the normal workload.

The scale of this transport team is not small, there are nearly 100 imperial ** type cargo carriages, as well as a large number of porters, and of course there are a lot of escort troops, due to the poor road conditions, there is no famous Erathia Empire heavy cavalry in the team, but the other types of troops are fully equipped, the griffins in the air, the crusaders on the ground, and the priests who represent the magical power of the kingdom are all there, and it is a decent imperial ** team.

As they approached the destination of Aijwater, everyone was a little relaxed, the soldiers began to gather together in twos and threes to laugh and chat, from time to time there were complaints about the inconvenience caused by the humid climate, the officers turned a blind eye to this, everyone was hard along the way, the journey was almost over, they were happy to let the soldiers relax, some officers even began to think about how to eat and drink well after arriving in Aijwater, To make up for the wind and food and sleeping on the road, the climate of the swamp makes everyone very uncomfortable.

Only a few of the more cautious people still scanned the foggy woods on either side of the road with alert eyes, but the blurred vision kept them in sight, and the scouts sent out did not raise any alarm, and everything was normal.

There is no wind in the swamp, coupled with the humid air, the griffin flags that usually flutter in the wind above the team are all attached to the flagpole at this time, a weak shrugging appearance, no longer the majesty of the past, it looks like those porters are tired, a herald rode along the team and loudly urged the team to speed up, to here, even the leader of the team of the emperor ** officer can't wait to get to the destination quickly.

Edney hid in a forest on the side of the road, observing the team's every move through the magic eye magic of a gas magician, beside her, there were magicians gathered from the various resistance armies and all the lizardman archers with complete bows and arrows, and there were a large number of poisonous dragon flies perched on the trees around her, and there were also some corpses of emperor ** griffins and griffin knights scattered on the ground, which were the results of the battle of the poisonous dragon flies.

Edney they are well hidden, so far, the emperor ** still has not found the existence of enemies around, the woods and fog, as well as the familiar terrain have helped them a lot, and occasionally the emperor ** scout who senses something wrong is also commanded by the beast tamers to kill a large number of poisonous dragon flies with lightning speed, and the enemy is about to carry out their ambush circle.

Soon, the forward of the Emperor's team entered the range of the Lizardman archers, but Edney did not immediately order the attack, she waited patiently, until the Emperor's team exposed the middle to the rebels' sharp teeth, she resolutely gave the order: "Start attacking!" ”

Following her order, the lizardmen, who had already been eager to try, bent their bows and arrows, and in an instant, a rain of arrows was shot, and the magicians began to chant incantations, and the magical elements in the air suddenly fluctuated violently.
