Chapter 360: One Gain and One Loss

In the past thousand days, the elven captives were also wounded and captured, and when the medicine was in short supply, Ye Xiaofei could only suppress the orcs, and divided a part of the medicine to temporarily hang their lives. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

In the evening, the First Legion, which was in a hurry, finally saw the fire of Sunshine City, and the strange thing was that the city, which should have been surrounded by the Sun Elves, showed a rare tranquility, and not even a shadow of the Sun Elves was seen.

The Sun Elves had a word of suffering, and sent half of the troops to ambush, but not only failed, suffered heavy losses, and their morale plummeted, so they had no choice but to retreat thirty miles and set up camp, and at the same time, 100,000 anxiously urged reinforcements to the Sun Elf patriarch.

Sunshine City, at the border of the orcs, the border town, but the orcs have not dared to go to war with the elven kingdom for dozens or hundreds of years, over time, even the border city, has lost its due role, there are almost no city walls here, only rows of giant trees in succession, obviously with trees as walls, most of the bullying orcs can't climb trees, the whole tree wall, the most embarrassing thing for the orcs is that the elves are too lazy to build the city gate, and directly hang down the tree ladders, and the architectural styles in the city are different, there are stone houses according to the human style, There are also treehouses unique to elves.

It is a peaceful and cozy, almost forgotten city. Put almost all the elves in life, and public buildings. At least you have to admit that from the central square, the springs that bloom one after another, dotted all over the ground, every morning, the water curtain fills the air, like a fairyland, it is a rich and beautiful city.

If, there is no war, no rude orc destruction, the city, worthy of anyone to obsess.

Right now? The fountains are dilapidated, the springs no longer gush, the waterways are clogged, the flowers are dead, the tree-lined paths are muddy after soaking, the dilapidated and burning houses are no longer smooth and bright, and the city is full of mourning, and the sound of grief ripples from every corner and fills the whole city.

Elves, weeping!

In Alista's eyes, a stone is a stone, and no matter how meticulously carved, it is just a stone. And water? Born in the bitter cold land, they cherish every drop of water, but when the city is full of water, who cares so much? If you get in the way, step on it, and smash it if it gets in the way.

Sunshine City, Ye Xiaofei has never been here, so he naturally doesn't know that the city in front of him is tattered and full of gunsmoke, and it was once beautiful and noble.

Ye Xiaofei frowned, and finally hung the bulky minotaur on the tree wall, turned into the city, and said to Alista beside him dissatisfied: "You guys? Slaughtered the city? ”

On the barren and dilapidated street, there is not a single day elf in sight, and isn't there smoke curling at night? The city is full of gunsmoke, and there is not a trace of cooking smoke in sight.

"My lord, those sun elves are too hateful, attacking our patrols, in a fit of rage, I--"

"What's the matter, tell me quickly!" Ye Xiaofei was anxious, in the eyes of the orcs, the slaughter of the city is dispensable, but in the eyes of the elves and humans, once the city is slaughtered, no matter what the reason is, these two races are feuds, and they do not share the hatred of the sky, in the land of human beings, the orcs not only slaughter the city, but also defile the corpses, and transform the human beings into undead skeletons city by city. Therefore, among the hundred races, humans have the least hatred for orcs.

Slaughtering the city, the human race and the elves are mortal enemies. He, Ye Xiaofei, is the culprit.

Arista looked at Ye Xiaofei strangely, the master who is not afraid of heaven and earth, his body is shaking like a swing, since this city was attacked, there is no elf living in it, so he said: "I lock them all up, one meal of vegetable soup and fruit every day, where we orcs, the treatment is very good, as long as they don't make trouble, we won't beat them." But the hosts, they have food and drink, a place to live, and make noise every day. I want to kill them all. ”

Ye Xiaofei felt that he had suddenly returned to the world from hell, and he was comfortable, and said: "You almost scared me to death, remember, in any case, you have the right to protect the safety of the aborigines, and whoever dares to slaughter the city easily, I will ask for his head." ”

Alista touched herself and turned her head, secretly exclaiming, fortunately she endured it last night, otherwise there would be no more Sun Elves today, and her bull head would not be guaranteed, but she still asked suspiciously: "Master, aren't we fighting with the Sun Elves?" If we don't kill them, they will join the elven army against us. ”

Ye Xiaofei was asked all of a sudden, this is the reason, but the behavior of killing prisoners, slaughtering the city, and killing them all has always been difficult to accept, and he can't explain it for a while, so he can only say nonsense: "Your master and I have so many mines, you have killed people, you go to mine for me?" ”

"Oh!" Alista suddenly realized, patted the bull's head and said: "It's still the master who is smart, keep them as slaves, dig mines, and do hard work." Yes, exactly. ”

On your head! Ye Xiaofei paddled down along the vines and stepped into the city, a little disappointed, if he could come in time, maybe he could keep the city, and the beauty of the city could be seen from the broken walls, then, what about before it was destroyed?

"It's a pity," Ye Xiaofei shook his head pityingly, but the nature of the minotaur Alista is like this, and it is useless to blame, so he said: "Alista, next time you capture the city, don't destroy it as much as possible, you see, this stone carving, what a good swan courtship stone carving, let me tell you, this can be exchanged for fifty roasted whole sheep!" ”

Alista looked at Ye Xiaofei's five fingers with round eyes, blinked his bull's eyes, swallowed his saliva, muttered at his four hooves and cow paws, and choked up: "Five--fifty, the head roasts the whole sheep, my cow, my obedient cow, this stone can be exchanged for fifty roasted whole sheep." ”

Alista stroked the swan with pity, and the fifty roasted whole sheep were gone? He took a sharp breath and roared at the soldiers behind him: "That calf was smashed, stand up for me, fifty roasted whole sheep." I can't compensate the old cow for pinching your guts. ”

The forehead heavy armor minotaur who followed closely behind him tightened his crotch, and hid back in a gust of wind, so as not to be splashed with dirty water by his boss. However, everyone knows that the two stones that entered the city are said to be a swan stone carving, which can be exchanged for fifty roasted whole sheep.

Ye Xiaofei paused for a moment, and the City Lord's Mansion arrived unconsciously.

"How are the Second and Third Legions doing?" Ye Xiaofei walked into the City Lord's Mansion and asked straight to the door.

The doors and windows are closed, and the two night pearls in the treehouse bloom with a soft light, which is said to be able to prevent stealth, and I don't know if it's true or not, but it's enough to illuminate the entire interior of the treehouse. On the long table, there is a map on the table at this time, which is an elven map, marked with elven characters.

Alista was trapped in Sunshine City, but she was not in a hurry at all, and said happily: "Master, Sunshine City was captured by us without much effort, and you don't believe it, such a big city, there are only 3,000 garrisons, and most of them are recruits who have never been on the battlefield." There weren't many casualties in the siege, but an army came later, and as long as we dared to go out of the city, very few of them could come back, like the cannibal forest, and a lot of people died. ”

"It should have been done by the Shadow Legion, those guys, out of nowhere, and the hidden arrows hurt people. The stealth technique is the best in the continent, and you will die as much as you want. Ye Xiaofei continued: "Don't worry, the shadow legion that appeared around has been killed by me, and it is estimated that there is only that elven army left, and immediately send scouts, without the cover of the shadow legion, you must find out the location of the other party, and determine their number, strength and establishment." With a black eye, this morning will hit the wall. ”

Alista breathed a heavy sigh of relief, suffering from the Shadow Legion, and even he was assassinated no less than four times, and said: "Master, great, you don't know how aggrieved you can only be established all day, it's our turn to attack." ”

Ye Xiaofei said worriedly: "Beth City should have already fought with the 30,000 orcs patrol army, our material supply and grain and grass will be interrupted immediately, without food and grass, this battle is very difficult to fight." Even if they have the initiative, they can't organize the pace of attack. ”

Alista was overjoyed and said: "Master, don't worry, you don't know, the Sun Elves in Sunshine City are full of food, and the food collected by the entire city is enough for an army of 30,000 for half a year, and high-intensity operations are also enough for three months, but their weapons are very old, and there is not a single good one." ”

"Three months?" Ye Xiaofei originally wanted to wait for Beth City to divide the victory and defeat and restore the supply line before he acted, but if there was three months of grain and grass, he could send troops within three days. I couldn't believe it, "What you said is true?" ”

"Really, master, why is there a fight in Beth City?"

Ye Xiaofei looked at the elf map on the table, sighed heavily, and said: "The 30,000 patrol troops of the orcs are besieging Beth City, this time we are in big trouble, if we can win and keep Beth City, it will also be bound to alarm the blue wolf tribe, if the orc clan sends the most elite wolf cavalry of the wolf clan, none of us can escape the pursuit." If we lose Beth City now, the orcs will be able to stop, but we will have no way back, and at the same time, we will lose all food and supplies, and we will become a lone army. ”

The supply lines to support this army have been stretched long enough, and the long way from Para City north to Beth City, and then from Beth City to the front line, is already long, and now it is even more fragile.

"Master, do you want us to leave first? Heroes don't suffer immediate losses and avoid the limelight. "Alista was obviously scared by Ye Xiaofei, there were beasts chasing and killing in the back, and there were elves in front of him, and he was not a human inside and out.

"No," Ye Xiaofei vetoed without hesitation, and said: "Now is the critical moment, there is no room for a trace of retreat, Bess City just one word, drag, since Sunshine City has enough food and grass, drag, the other party always thinks that he still has hope of recovery, as long as the Pale Tribe does not send wolf cavalry, there is nothing that cannot be consumed." His gaze fell on the map of Sunlight City, and said, "Alista, at all costs, send the most elite kobold scouts to find out in the shortest possible time what the sun elves in front of us are fighting, how many people they are, and what their strength is." I can't wait, I have to put more pressure on the Sun Elves, I have received a letter from the city of Para, the millions of human armies are overwhelmed, as long as this new force in front of me is eliminated, there will be no second resistance force in the Sun Elves, and we can do whatever we want--"

"Master, you're laughing so horrively---"

Ye Xiaofei put away his cheap smile awkwardly and taught: "This is the joy of victory, I can't help but smile, what do you know?" ”

"Hello, master---(hypocrisy)--"

With a bang, the door of the tree was slammed open, and a centaur herald, covered in blood, crashed in at once: "Ten-100,000 urgent-Beth City--"

Ye Xiaofei was startled, picked up the centaur and asked urgently, "Bess City?" What happened to Beth City? ”

The centaur had only half a breath left, spitting out blood foam, and spit out the last few words with all his might: "Bey-Bes-City--Falling--"

The horse's neck was crooked, and the centaur with a few sharp arrows in his body fainted.

Ye Xiaofei and Alista were struck by lightning, and they didn't know how the centaur in their arms was sent out.

"Bei-" Ye Xiaofei muttered in confusion, threw himself on the map and tried to find it, and finally, when he saw the familiar point, he couldn't believe it: "Beth City has fallen?" ”

Ye Xiaofei had 10,000 **** tens of thousands in his heart, why did he gallop, and said okay, how could he be lost? The 30,000 beast clan patrol army, which is also the strength of the second-line legion, will run everywhere, wind and rain. No matter how the Fifth Legion is, relying on the armor and weapons tailored by the Dwarves, it is enough to rank among the second-tier legions, and besides, although Beth City is a medium-sized city, it is a defensive fortress, even if it is defended by a third-tier legion, it can be blocked for three or five days. There was also a Fourth Army Corps next to it that was rushing back for reinforcements.

The most likely is that the Fifth Legion collectively mutinied, opened the city gates, and invited 30,000 orc patrols into the city, otherwise, how could it fall in such a short time?

"Beth City has fallen? Master? Alista repeated in shock, even if he had a missing head, he knew that Beth City was gone, and there was no way out for them.

"No need to repeat, I know," Ye Xiaofei's face was gloomy and dripping, and he kept admonishing himself in his heart: Calm, calm, calm―――――― I'm calm down, the way back is gone, I can't bear to slap my fist on the long table, and scold: "I'm grass, what's the matter?" ”

Bang―――――― the entire long table was torn apart, and the guards who came over in a hurry took a look, thinking that there was a battle, and when they saw Ye Xiaofei's murderous eyes, they ran out in a gray manner.

"Master, are you alright?" Alista looked at the shattered sawdust and quietly took a breath of cold air.

"Say it's okay, even I don't believe it." Ye Xiaofei closed his eyes and took a deep breath before he said: "Send someone to understand the information, even if Beth City is lost, it must be recaptured, this is the only way for everyone to retreat." ”

"My lord, where are you going?" Alista hurriedly followed Ye Xiaofei out of the door.

"Guards, give the order, let the Centaur Division of the First Army assemble at once, and in an hour, all assemble."

"Yes, sir!" The heavily armored minotaur ran away, and was stared at by Ye Xiaofei's eyes, eager to regenerate two legs.

Turning his head, Ye Xiaofei said to Alista, who was just about to ask: "I'll go and take back our retreat, your task is to find out the bottom of the Sun Elf and defend Sunshine City." ”

"Report--" Another centaur herald rushed in, holding a sign of 100,000 urgency, all the way through.

Ye Xiaofei and Alista's hearts suddenly lifted, the same as before, I'm afraid it's worse news?

"Report-" The centaur gasped heavily, but there was no trace of scars on his body, he gasped twice, and said: "Commander, my lord, urgent military situation, the west gate of Beth City suddenly opened, 30,000 orc patrols swarmed in, Beth City was lost, and the Fourth Legion went to answer, and heard the news that the rebels had murdered the deputy commander of the Fifth Legion, and secretly opened the west gate." ”

"You are? Fourth Legion's? Ye Xiaofei's heart still didn't dare to fall, and asked, "How about the Fourth Legion to save the casualties of the Fifth Legion?" ”

"My lord, we rescued half of the brothers of the Fifth Legion, and under the leadership of the deputy legion commander, we blocked the pursuit of the orcs, and now we have left the battle and retreated to the Warcraft Forest."

"Good!" Ye Xiaofei's tense face was a little relieved, and said, "There is no total annihilation, a great luck in misfortune." You go down and rest first. ”

Alista had a bitter face, Beth City was lost, and it was defended by an army of 30,000 orcs day and night, and the back road was cut off, how could it be good? It's a dead end.

"Report, my lord," the commander of the Centaur Division of the First Legion came, and it was a silver-white Centaur body that broke in.

"Why are you here?" Alista apparently knew the subordinate.

"Commander, the Centaur Combat Division has suffered casualties in today's battle, and the arrows are seriously consumed, so I am afraid that we will not be able to assemble on time."

"Oh," Ye Xiaofei waved his hand and said, "In that case, it's getting late, so I'll set off in the early hours of tomorrow morning." How about the necessary supplies and personnel replenishment from the legions? ”

"The subordinates promise to assemble on time."

Looking at the leader of the centaur division who came with a bitter face and left happily, Alista looked at Ye Xiaofei strangely, and asked, "Master, saving people is like fighting a fire, why did you suddenly change the time?" ”

Ye Xiaofei re-entered the tree house, looked at the ground full of waves, shook his head, and said: "Before, I didn't know how Beth City suddenly fell, and the safety of the two legions, but now, I know, it's already the worst outcome, and nothing will change if it's too late, Alista, if you really feel sorry for your master, you should help me find a way to take the city back." And it's a restricted-level war. ”

"Restricted?" Alista was stunned and asked, "Is there still a level of war?" ”

"Points," Ye Xiaofei saw the gate close again, leaned back on his chair tiredly, and said with half-squinted eyes: "The city must be taken back, and the other party cannot be wiped out, so as not to attract the attention of the blue wolf tribe and incur the slaughter of the wolf cavalry." However, the walls of Beth City are so high, and the city defense is so perfect, it is obviously impossible to recapture the city without blood, so that the other party will give it up? We don't have a lot of face. Therefore, this battle is even hotter than taro, according to your master's habits and personality, you will only avoid this hot taro, but today you have to take the initiative to take the taro, and you have to eliminate it. ”

"Moo-" Alista chirped excitedly, sounding funny, shook her head, "I don't understand." ”

"I don't understand either," Ye Xiaofei pulled his face with both hands, feeling that his head was full of black crows circling, how to break the bureau of Bess City? The most hateful thing is the Fifth Legion, which lost the city in an extremely weird way? And put in half a legion of soldiers and a deputy corps commander, is this a war? Isn't this the way to send heads?
