Chapter 635: Wanting to Indulge in the Past

In the middle of summer, in the Tetalia region, although the Erathia Empire Expeditionary Force was desperately attacking, but under the obstruction of the undead army, the war in the eastern part of the Swamp, in which both sides invested a large number of troops, was still inevitably in a stalemate again, and the Imperial Expeditionary Force, which had been replenished in personnel and materials, and the undead army that was fighting on its back, attacked and defended each other in the swamp, each with its own victory and defeat.

On the whole, the emperor **, who is stronger than the other party, obviously has a more obvious upper hand, but the necromancers are not to be outdone, in those castles occupied by the undead army, huge and expensive chimney-like magic buildings used to create a large area of dark canopy have been built, and then the thick magic black fog, together with the unique perennial white mist in the swamp, shrouded a large area in the eastern part of the swamp, which very effectively covered the actions of the undead army, and on the contrary, The Imperial Expeditionary Force struggled in this black fog that made them lose sight of their fingers.

In this case, the Emperor's offensive is of course seriously blocked, if there is no large number of water magicians who use the dispel ** day and night to dispel the dark canopy, the Emperor ** can't even fight normally in such a black fog, and the undead army, under the leadership of Hart, has changed the previous style of winning with crowd tactics, and instead began to use the cover of the dark canopy, using the tactics they learned from the swamp people, sending elite troops to fight guerrilla warfare with the Imperial Expeditionary Force in the swamp. And the focus of the attack is on striking the enemy's water mages and logistical routes.

At the same time, Hart, a famous general of Enroth who participated in the Succession War, also swung the scorched earth policy to the extreme, and under his management, in the eastern part of the swamp, except for those fortified castles guarded by the army of the undead, all the towns and villages were destroyed by him, and all the facilities that could be used by the emperor were also destroyed by him, and even many local water sources were poisoned by him very insidiously, at the beginning, Mrak did not expect that the other party would use this rather insidious means, The Imperial Expeditionary Force actually caused a large number of non-combat attrition because the soldiers drank the poisoned water.

In this case, the logistical pressure of the emperor has increased greatly, because the emperor is in the east of the swamp at this time, not to mention getting food, even drinking water has become a big problem, everything must be transported from the rear to the front line, on those muddy roads in the swamp, the emperor's transport team must spend amazing manpower and material resources for the soldiers who are fighting on the front line to keep transporting a large number of supplies, and most of them are food and drinking water, but even so, it can only barely meet the normal consumption of the army.

So now in the swamps, the soldiers of the expeditionary force from the Erathian Empire lived a terrible and difficult life, they were severely limited in rations, each person could only get one pot of water per day, and bathing became a luxury that the soldiers could not even dream of, everyone felt that they did not feel like fighting in the wet swamp, but more like fighting in the desert where water was hard to find, and collecting dew was now one of the things that the soldiers had to do every day.

The new Angel Patriarch Elzak was tired of the terrible situation, he hated this swamp that was both humid and sweltering, and his patience was about to be worn out by the war that would not end in time.

As strong as the Angel Clan, they also need to eat and drink, so all the problems faced by the Imperial Expeditionary Force, the Angel Legion led by Elzac also encountered all of them.

When he first entered this swamp to fight, Elzac was high-spirited, took over the angel clan, and immediately had the opportunity to obtain battle merits, and he felt that his future was bright.

At that time, because of the strength of the Angel Legion, in the expeditionary army, the supply of the Angel Legion has always been a very priority, and there has never been a shortage of various materials, but now, as the battle situation is becoming more and more stalemate, even he, the patriarch of the Angel Clan, can only get enough rough food to fill his belly and a little bit of water every day, which is not enough to even wash his face and maintain his appearance.

That's all, Erzac is not afraid of hardship, his ambition, his dreams made him happy with all this at the beginning, but the war has not made great progress, but there is a faint tendency to fall into a tug-of-war, but he began to hate all this incomparably.

He pinned his hopes on the commander of the expeditionary force, Mrak, and he hoped that Mlak would come up with some brilliant plan to break the current deadlock as he had done last time when he led the expeditionary force to break the encirclement of the undead army, but to his disappointment, Mlak was also quite helpless about the current situation, and could not come up with any good solution.

So these days, Elzac has been in a very bad mood, with a gloomy face every day, he doesn't feel good at anything, and he often thunders at the angel warriors under him because of a little thing.

But today, there was a rare smile on Elzac's face.

Because he received a letter from Jonathan, in which Jonathan gave him a plan that seemed to him to be quite good.

A relocation plan for the Angel Clan.

For Jonathan, Elzac has always been quite optimistic and trusting, because Jonathan is not only the first to agree with his ideas, but also very good, and more importantly, Jonathan's determination and loyalty when he was in Howard.

Therefore, after personally leading the Angel Legion to join the Erathia Empire's war against the Tytalia region, Elzak asked Jonathan to help him take care of the affairs of the clan, because he was not very relieved about the elders of Howard's generation, such as Gillian.

Therefore, Elzak did not realize that Jonathan's proposed relocation plan contained some hidden intentions that he did not know.

On the contrary, Elzac felt that Jonathan's vision was quite unique, because Jonathan pointed out that it was precisely because the angel clan had been hiding from the world and ignoring the affairs of the world that they had become so incompatible with the empire now, and even faintly rejected by the people of the empire.

What Erzak said now Jonathan is really right, the angel clan has been isolated from the world for too long, and this thousand years of time have made the angel clan become unenterprising in self-isolation, become content with the status quo, and completely lose the sharpness and domineering that a strong race on the continent should have, if the angel clan can leave the lifeless valley and live in the imperial flower world, maybe it can really effectively change the minds of the clansmen.

Moreover, Elzak also thought that it was necessary for him to let the Angel Clan rise in the Empire, and let the Imperial people first regard the Angel Clan as an inseparable part of the Empire, and to do this, it was not a good way to let the Angel Clan go among the Imperial people.

If all of this goes well, it will definitely be a huge help to Elzac's plan that he is hell-bent on carrying out.

Moreover, Jonathan was very thoughtful and took all aspects into account, and he suggested that Elzak move the Angel Clan to live in the coastal area, so as to exchange for the Empire's favor for the Angel Clan.

Jonathan analyzed it like this, after a war at sea, the imperial navy suffered losses, and was forced to greatly strengthen the investment in coastal defense due to the threat of the alliance army, and stationed heavy troops in the coastal areas, at this time, if the powerful and flying angel clan can move and disperse to some important areas in the coastal area, it is not useless to reduce the pressure of the emperor ** in coastal defense, after all, in addition to the young and middle-aged warriors, even the old and weak women and children also have considerable combat effectiveness, and the mobility is high. It can be used as an army if necessary, and can be used as an army to effectively deal with various emergencies.

With such a capable subordinate planning for himself, Elzak is certainly in a good mood.

But Elzak also understands that it is not easy to do this, there are too many old antiques in the angel clan, and he has just ascended to the throne, it is not easy to convince them.

For example, Jonathan mentioned in his letter that after his temptation, many of the older generation of angels, including Elder Gillian, were opposed to the relocation plan.

This news made Elzac a little annoyed while being happy, after Howard's absence, the respected Gillian faintly became the leader of the original Howard faction, and had great influence in the clan, whether it was radicals or conservatives, there were his supporters, if he opposed the move, then Elzac would face no resistance in order to implement this plan, it was really not ordinary.

At the same time, how to convince the Empire to let the Angel Clan move to the sea is also a big problem, Elzak knows that the Empire is actually worried about the Angel Clan now, and if the Angel Clan proposes to move to the seaside, it is inevitable that some people will have some ideas.

After thinking about it, Elzak decided to go back to the empire, he had to personally persuade Gillian and the others to agree to the relocation plan, and discuss some specific details with Jonathan, and he also had to go to the regent Kendall to get the Empire's approval about this plan, and avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings caused by it.

So on the grounds that there were important matters in the clan that needed to be dealt with, Elzak asked the regent Kendall to be transferred back to the empire, and for him, the new patriarch of the angel clan who was devoted to the empire, Kendall was quite face-saving, and immediately agreed.

So early the next morning, Elzak handed over the affairs of the Angel Legion to one of his subordinates, and then began to rush back to the empire in a hurry.

At this time, Elzak didn't realize that he had completely fallen into a trap carefully designed by some people, he didn't know that everything he was doing was what some people desperately wanted, and the angel clan, because of his efforts, was beginning to go farther and farther on the road away from the empire.
