Chapter 731: The Immortal Hero's Decision

As soon as Genova spoke, she immediately realized her gaffe, and couldn't help but be embarrassed, others didn't expect her to react like this, and they couldn't help but stop her, and couldn't help but glare at her angrily. 9078.8C3A4I6h5o7n8g67e9n8x0u2e30.9c7o9m8

Knowing that she messed up, the female elf was angry and annoyed, but in the current situation, she didn't know what to do.

Chen Jian was surprised at this time.

From the other party's reaction, he already understood that he was right again.

It's just that he never expected that Esrena's guesses would be as accurate.

However, on the surface, he did not reveal his emotions, he made a confident appearance, and looked at Alice and the others for a long time, waiting for their answers.

Jian Chen didn't actually mean to embarrass the other party, from the information provided by Vikna, he already knew something.

He knew that in the small group in front of him, there were people he could trust.

Golden Dragon Beccaria is obviously not a member of this small group, the Golden Dragon's joining Jian Chen is absolutely welcome, although he and the Golden Dragon have had a little holiday in the past, but those are all in the past, and now the Golden Dragon and the Entagri Empire have the same position, that's it.

The addition of Meng Tera is also a happy thing, some time ago, the every move of this human female warrior has been under the attention of Vikna and others, including her and Eufritin's trip to Negan, the army she leads, and the first one in Alice's group to accept the Entagri Empire, Vikna believes that all this has shown that Meng Nera really wants to join the Entagri Empire.

The same is true of the dwarven knight Eufritin, who has known Hesfar for a long time and is also quite friendly with the elite of his hilly dwarf clan, although he did not participate in the exodus of the hill dwarves for some reason, but his antipathy to the elven kingdom is undoubtedly revealed through the Farouk Rebellion, and his affection for the Entagri Empire is also evident in Bairders.

Vikna conducted a detailed investigation of Everyfretin according to Chen Jian's request, and after learning about Everettin's personality and style of behavior through Hesfa and others, Victor thought that the dwarven knight who was very close to Meng Jie was also a target to be fought for.

Therefore, he was quite happy to hear Alice say that Beccaria, Montella, Eufritin, and Cronis would join the Entagri Empire with most of them.

Another reason why Jian Chen didn't plan to embarrass the other party was because he knew that it was unrealistic to force these people to say more things about Gru, which would only have the opposite effect and attract the other party's disgust.

If they can't convince them, they won't reveal more.

And to convince them, it obviously takes some time.

And after Chen Jian analyzed, he always felt that this group of people was a bit like being abandoned.

If it weren't for the help of the Ntagrean Army, this lone army would have collapsed long ago.

It would be far-fetched to say that all this was deliberately arranged, because it was a rather risky operation, and if the Ntagrean army did not intend to accept this army, then what would happen to this army in Ofer?

The authorities are fascinated, and the bystanders are clear, Chen Jian doesn't think that anyone will be willing to use such an army as a bargaining chip for risk, unless that person already doesn't pay attention to this army at all and has a dispensable attitude.

At this time, Alice finally spoke again: "Your Majesty, I am surprised by the intelligence capabilities of the Entagri Empire, but now that you know it, I don't think we need to explain anything more, but there is one thing I must explain, that is, my partners' decision to join the Entagri Empire is based on their own will, not under the command of Lord Gru, as long as you accept them, from now on, the object of their allegiance will be you, the Entagri Empire, And it will no longer be Lord Gru, they have no second thoughts, and please don't doubt it, because those who are still willing to be loyal to Lord Gru, such as me, have already chosen to leave."

In a sense, this is not a convincing statement, as Alice does not explain why some of them are no longer loyal to Gru.

However, knowing that he could no longer get any useful information from the other party today, Jian Chen was also happy to get off the donkey: "Although it is not yet possible to confirm whether what you said is true or false, I believe that time will tell, and the Entagri Empire has always been open to all those who have good intentions, so today I have decided to accept your statement and give you and your companions a chance to prove your good intentions, I look forward to seeing the loyalty that those of you who have decided to join the Entagri Empire will show, I will not embarrass those who have decided to leave, and I hope you will not disappoint me in the future."

In order not to have too much impact on the subsequent war, although Chen Jian accepted the surrender of this army, he did not immediately reorganize it, but let it still join the war against Hammondale as a mercenary, and he decided to reorganize this army after the end of this battle.

Since Alice had already decided to leave, Jian Chen asked Meng Gila to temporarily lead the army.

"Looking forward to your performance on the battlefield"

The next day, the army continued to advance towards the Hammondale area, the soldiers did not know what had happened last night, only the soldiers of Alice's department learned that for some special reason, Lord Alice had left with some people after handing over the command, and it was Mon Ferra who was now in charge of them.

And they also learned that after this battle, they will accept the reorganization of the Entagri Empire and officially become part of the Entagri army.

This news is really great news for these soldiers who have long been yearning for the Entagri Empire.

But there is one person who has a knot in his heart because of Alice and others, and this person is the immortal hero Tanan.

Of course, Tanan knows Gru, and the relationship between the two is not bad, and the half-elf has always had a good impression of Tanan.

But now, the information provided by Jian Chen, as well as the admissions of Alice and others last night, all indicate that the matter that Tanan is investigating about the Blade of Doom and the Sword of Ice is likely to be related to Gru.

And last night, when Alice and the others left, Esreina boldly deduced that the Doomsday Blade was likely to return to Gru's hands at this time, based on the assumption that Alice and the others proposed by Chen Jian that they were likely to be used by Gru as outcasts.

In this way, if Tanan's belief that someone really wants to destroy the world is true, then a lot of things make sense.

For example, why the elven kingdom suddenly sent a fleet to the sea, for example, why Gru obviously manipulated the Farouk army to oppose the elven kingdom, but became the vanguard of the elven kingdom at this critical moment, all because Gru wanted to gather the blade of doom and the sword of ice, and it was this half-elf who was secretly driving everything.

This may seem unlikely, but it is plausible in many places.

Tanan was confused.

Is all this a coincidence, or is it a fact?

If this assumption is correct, then what is Gru's purpose in trying to gather the Blade of Doom and the Sword of Ice? Does he really want to destroy the world? On what grounds? Or does he have another purpose? Could it be that the information that made him know about the existence of the Blade of Doom and the Sword of Ice was incomplete, and that caused him to have some kind of misunderstanding?

The immortal hero kept speculating, and in the end, he decided to go to the half-elf himself to verify it in order to find out the truth of the matter.

Jian Chen did not agree with Tanan's decision, the high-level of the Elven Kingdom knew Tanan's true identity, and had always been hostile to him, and he had just helped the Entagri Empire to recruit the Forest Dragon Clan, if he went to find Gru and was discovered by the elves, it would be quite a troublesome matter.

Immortal body is not the same as invincible, alone in the enemy's army, a careless, although death is not dead, but if you miss the hand and want to get out, it will be difficult.

And no one can be sure what kind of attitude Gru will take towards Tanan.

But Tanan insisted on going, and on top of this, Tanan's attitude was unusually resolute.

"The stakes are high, Your Majesty, if the Doom Blade is really in Gru's hands, regardless of his attitude, I can even stop the terrible things that may happen by trying to capture the Doom Blade I have confidence in my own strength, Your Majesty, don't forget, I can escape with magic in the blink of an eye I can return to Negan"

Tanan said to Jian Chen: "Your Majesty, I really can't sit idly by and ignore this matter, this is an opportunity, an opportunity that may be able to prevent the world from being destroyed, please let me go, I don't want to miss this opportunity and regret it to you and me in the future."

In the end, Tanan persuaded Jian Chen, and then he quietly followed Alice and the party and left.

Seeing off Tanan, Jian Chen once again focused on the battle in front of him.

As the Entagri army advanced on both fronts, Hammondal's Erathian army also began to move.

Although there is a deep ditch and high fortification in the Hammondale area, the Erathian Army does not intend to passively defend it, and a large army of the Erathian Empire has taken the initiative to attack from Hammondal.

Kendall, the regent of the Empire, has long wanted to have a decisive battle with the Entagrean army, and the poor progress of the battle has already made Sures lose patience, he wants to end the war with the Entagri Empire as soon as possible, and then transfer his forces to other directions, at the same time, he also hopes that he can march into the Tulaone forest as soon as possible.

Because after the elves withdrew from the Turalian Forest, Kendall has been trying to attack the necromancer's stronghold Diya directly from the Turalleon Forest, he wants to make the necromancers unable to take care of each other, and then use this to change the stalemate in the Tytalia region in one fell swoop.

However, the Entlagri Empire was in his way, and the threat of the Entagre army to the Hammondale region prevented him from making a bold march into Turalea, so he had to cut off this threat.

Moreover, the Entagri Empire has just given the Elven Kingdom a big defeat, if the Erathia Empire can defeat the Entagre Empire at this time, then it can prove that the Erathia Empire is still strong in a sense, which will be of great help to boost the increasingly low morale within the Erathia Empire.

In order to be able to complete the battle, Kendall gathered 500,000 troops in the Hammondale area, and even some of the troops that were originally intended to be sent to Tytalia and Bailders were temporarily transferred to this direction by him, and this force was even close to the total number of troops invested by the Erathia Empire in the Tetalia Marsh, you know, the Erathia Empire only invested 550,000 troops in that swamp before and after.

And after noticing the power of the tactics of the Entagre Army's flying troops, in order to fight the enemy in the air more effectively, Kendal gathered a large number of griffin legions in the Hammondale area, and Elzac, the angel patriarch, was also ordered by him to atone for his crimes, and a reorganized angel legion, led by Elzac himself, also came to Hammondal.

Then Kendall personally drew up a strategy.

He was going to break the two attacking Ntagrean armies.

This time, the army of Entagre sent a total of nearly 400,000 troops to attack the Hammondale area, and the 400,000 troops were divided into two routes, starting from Baildes and Overer respectively, with a total of about 170,000 people on the Ofer's road, and Bairders's army on the way, which was now under the command of Monjura, reached as many as 230,000.

Moreover, the Ntagrui army of Baierdes all the way was led by Chen Jian himself.

Kendall decided to take the initiative and use his own strength advantage to defeat the Ntagrean army with more troops along the way, and if he could, he even planned to capture or kill Chen Jian alive.

He believed that as long as Jian Chen was captured or killed, the still shallow Entagri Empire would definitely be in chaos or even collapse because of this, and at that time, the other Entagre army would not be able to pose any threat to the Erathia army.

Of course, Kendall also expected that another enemy army might use the magic portal to rescue friendly forces, but he was not worried that if this happened, another Erathian army that had already been prepared in Hammondale would immediately join the battle, and the Erathian army could still have an advantage in terms of strength, and could even flank the enemy depending on the situation.

And in order to maximize the combat power of the Erathian army, Kendall also set the battlefield on a plain at the junction of Hammondale and Bailders.

On this plain, the powerful impact of the world-famous cavalry of the Erathia Empire will be fully reflected, and at the same time, the terrain of the plain also makes the two sides have not much tactical options except for face-to-face confrontation, and the strength advantage of the Erathia Army will also be more obvious because the strength can be spread out.

The tricks that the Entagrean army is good at will not be able to be carried out on this plain.

At the same time, Kendall also made some preparations for the possible use of attacks similar to the Doomsday Blade by the Entagri army.

A large number of demon-resisting magic scrolls were distributed to the Erathian Army in the Hammondale region.

Anti-magic** This kind of magic can form a magic immunity space within a certain range during the effect time to help the user resist the enemy's magic attack.

It's a bit ironic that the Erathia Empire doesn't actually have that much of this kind of magic scroll inventory, and this large number of magic scrolls was specially sent from the Enlos continent in order to fight against the Grimans' Doomsday Blade in the Doomsday Campaign.

However, due to the long distance between the two places, and the later use of the Forbidden Orb by the Elementals to restrain the Doomsday Blade, these scrolls did not make it to the battle, and it was not until after the destruction of the Kregans that the scrolls were transported to the Erathian Empire.

Later, in the battle against the Farouk army, Kendall also used some scrolls, but before the Doomsday Blade, which could be cast continuously, these magic scrolls were not very useful, and later the Erathian army could not hold on, and these scrolls lost their usefulness.

However, now Kendall has put these scrolls to useful again, and through his research on the past battles of the Entagrean army, Kendal believes that the Entagrean army's attack method similar to the Doomsday Blade is inferior to the Doom Blade in two ways: one is that it cannot be cast continuously, and the other is that it is less powerful.

In this case, the effect of these magic scrolls is quite obvious, as long as they can block a wave of enemy attacks, the Erathian army can take advantage of the enemy's surprise opportunity to counterattack.

With these preparations, Kendall decided that with or without intention, there was no chance that he would fail again this time.

He wants to make the Entagrean army lose its elite and strength in this battle, and then dare not covet the Erathian Empire.

The various actions of the Erathia army naturally fell into the eyes of the scouts of the Entagrean army, and then, the news that the 300,000 Erathian army had gone out to a certain plain area on the border between Bailders and Hammondale and took the initiative to meet the Entagrean army was sent to Chen Jian.

At this time, Chen Jian had about 230,000 troops, including 190,000 regular troops of the Entagrei Empire, and about 40,000 mercenaries that Meng Gila had just taken over, and this mercenary army originally had nearly 60,000 people, but the old and weak of them were left behind in Baierdes, and some of them had already taken the initiative to join the Entagrean Army in the successful assimilation strategy of the Entagrei Army, but this time there were only about 40,000 people.

Compared to the Erathia Army, such a force is not superior, but Chen Jian doesn't care about it.

"Soldiers are expensive but not expensive" Chen Jian has always pursued a policy of elite soldiers, he is quality rather than quantity, after the battle against the elven kingdom, he has developed confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Entagri army.

And from the beginning to the end, he did not intend to face the enemy face to face as soon as the battle began, the opponent put the battlefield on the ground, but he fixed the battlefield in the sky.

Kendall wanted to break them all, so why didn't he want to scatter the enemies? If the enemy's flying units are all grouped in one place, he will not be happy.

So he had Morriel lead another army on Hammondal, but he took the army from Bailders and stopped when it was still a day's normal journey from the plain where the Elasia army had been deployed.

Then, an unprecedented air battle unfolded fiercely at the junction of Hammondale and Bailds.
