Chapter 773: Waiting for the Rabbit

Previously, Degar confidently walked out of Black Corner City, wanting to take the initiative to face the Entagre army under the cover of the dark canopy, but the result was not only not to find an opportunity to sneak attack the Entagre army, but also suffered a small loss due to the strength of the opponent's air force.

Degar then sent an army to attack the Castle of the Storm, trying to expose the flaws of the Entagri army, but the result was also a failure due to the support of the Entagre army from the air.

Then the Entagre army continued to advance slowly but firmly in the direction of Noire City, although Degar was unwilling, but he did not dare to meet the Entagre army in the field, so he had to reluctantly withdraw his troops back to Noire City, ready to hold on.

It's just that Degar never imagined that he couldn't do anything with the Entagri army in the wilderness, and now he was fighting a defensive battle based on the fortified Black Horn City, and he was so aggrieved.

Because the Entagri army did not use all kinds of conventional tactics to attack the city at all.

Since the Entagrean army finally drove to the city of Noire and launched an attack on the city of Noire, Degar has realized that the traditional method of defending the city has not been much use for the siege tactics of the Entagrean army.

What made Degar even more depressed was that many of the opponent's siege tactics were based on his strong air superiority, which made Degar unable to find an effective way to deal with it, and could only respond passively after the enemy started to attack.

For example, the stone air attack tactics created by the Entagri army, which is now famous on the Big 6, cannot be cracked by Degar.

The terrain in the Dia region is quite complex, not only mountainous, but also rocky, and there is no shortage of boulders, which makes the air bombardment of the Entagre army fully guaranteed in terms of materials, and those boulders make this tactic even more powerful.

Those boulders that require a dragon to transport to the sky, when they fall from the air, the destructive power they can cause is far greater than that of traditional trebuchets, and the power is almost comparable to that of powerful magic, many of the arrow towers of Blackhorn City were destroyed under these boulders, and the top floor of the castle was opened out of more than a dozen miserable holes, and even the city walls were damaged.

And whenever these man-made stone rains of countless stones of various sizes descended on the city of Pointe-Noire, all Degar could do was to direct the soldiers to retreat into the castle in order to reduce casualties.

However, what made Degar feel strange was that although the Entagrei army had a variety of methods, it had been fighting quite conservatively, and it seemed that it had not done its best, and for most of the time, the Entagrean army was only suppressing and limited attacks on the city of Black Point with its air superiority, and rarely launched a frontal assault by a large army.

On several occasions, Degar even had the illusion that the Ntagari army was deliberately releasing water.

But this is obviously impossible, the situation in Yinfeng Castle is there, and if the Entagri Army still wants to accept the necromancers of the academic sect and the Dya Big-Eared Monster Clan, there is no reason to release the water.

"How is this going on? Afraid that the onslaught will lose too much? So you want to establish a bigger advantage in this way? ”

Degar was puzzled, so he could only think so.

However, even Degar himself felt that such an inference was a bit reluctant.

Strictly speaking, Degar did have a lot more troops than the Entagri army that attacked Pointe-Noire, but this did not bring Degar victory in this offensive and defensive battle, because quantity does not represent quality, and the number of defenders has reached the point where quantitative change causes qualitative change.

In a limited number of head-to-head encounters, this has also been amply demonstrated.

Degar's main combat power, the low-level undead creatures with the largest number of them, was simply vulnerable to the Thor's troll warriors who were armed with luxurious equipment in the Entagre Army.

The strength of those skeletons and zombies, as well as the weapons in their hands, basically could not do any damage to the Thor trolls wrapped in refined steel armor, while the powerful Thor trolls in their hands could sweep away a large number of skeletons and zombies with a wave of their hands.

The huge gap in quality gave the Ntagrean army the confidence to calmly face the undead defenders of Blackhorn City, which were far superior to their own numbers.

Under such circumstances, it is of course a bit reluctant to say that the Entagri army gave up the storming of Pointe-Noire because they wanted to preserve their strength.

But beyond that, Degar couldn't figure out why the Entagre's army had behaved like this in the Battle of Pointe-Noire.

"Maybe you thought you might have to face the threat of the coalition forces of Bracada and the Elven Kingdom? So you don't want to lose too many men in the battle with us, do you? After all, our troops are also there, and if we really have to fight hard, even if they can capture Black Corner City, only the losses will be indispensable."

The vampire commander thought with a little self-consolation.

This slightly strange situation continued until the first wave of reinforcements sent by the Entagri Empire arrived at Pointe-Noire.

Now the Entagre army is really as described by the intelligence, all of them are composed of flying troops, and Degal, who has a headache because of the air superiority in the hands of the enemy, can not only sigh but sigh.

However, Degar was soon pleasantly surprised to see that the Ntagrei army did not stay long under Blackhorn, let alone join the attack on Blackhorn, they stayed under Blackhorn for a day, and then set off in the direction of Yinfeng Castle.

"Could it be that he was worried that Yin Wind Castle would be lost, so he rushed over to support it in advance? It seems that in the face of the possible threat of the alliance of the Bracada Kingdom and the Elven Kingdom, even the Ntagri Empire cannot help but increase the pressure."

Degar thought.

However, Gru, the half-elf who had been following the actions of the Ntagrei army in the Diya region, did not think so.

Gru had noticed the unusual behavior of the Ntagrean Army in the Diya region before anyone else had noticed, and he smelled a strong sense of conspiracy from it.

Gru firmly believes that there is no reason for the Entagri Empire to act in the Dya region.

He believed that the inference he made about the Entagri Empire not wanting to have a large-scale war now was correct, for the Entagri Empire, which had expanded too fast and had reached the limit, what was needed now was to recuperate and digest the results of the war, so the Entagri army should seek a result of a battle in Diya, rather than expanding Diya's war.

Under such a premise, Gru felt that the most important thing for the Entagri army to do was to go all out to capture Blackhorn City, and then try to pick up the academic necromancer and the Dya big-eared monsters to leave Dia, and try to avoid conflict with the Bracada army and the Elven King** in the process.

But the current situation is completely different from Gru's expectations.

From the very beginning, the actions of the Ntagrei army behaved rather strangely, and there was no momentum at all that Gru expected.

Their advance in Diya can almost be described as a turtle, and their attack on Black Corner City is also so conservative, and they refuse to let go.

All of this made Gru wonder if the Entagri Empire didn't really want to accept those Dya big-eared monsters to increase its burden, and planned to use the necromancer or the combined forces of Bracada and the Elven Kingdom to get rid of these troublesome guys, so he dragged on in the war in Dia and waited for the situation to change again.

However, the fact that the Ntagrean army sent elite troops into the Yinfeng Fortress to support the local defense made Gru realize that the Ntagrean army had no such intentions.

So what's the problem?

Gru was also puzzled.

Then, before Gru could figure out what the Entagri army was planning, the Entagri Empire actually increased its troops to Diya.

Although only the first wave of reinforcements has been sent now, and the number is not very large, it is indeed an increase in troops.

At the same time, from the information transferred from Parson's side, Gru also learned that in Negan, Chen Jian did say that he wanted to increase the troops of Diya, and at the same time, there were indeed several Ntagri troops in Negan preparing for the expedition.

"There must be a conspiracy here," Gru judged, he didn't believe that the Entagri Empire really wanted to start a large-scale war in Diya now.

He wrote to ask Parson to let the Elven Kingdom try to keep an eye on Tren's movements in Negan's ears.

Because Gru thought about it, he finally thought that the Entagri Empire would make a seal on the magic portal.

Tren, on the other hand, is the key to the Entagri Empire's use of one-way magical portals.

As long as you keep an eye on Tren and grasp Tren's movements, you may be able to understand what the Entagri Empire has planned.

However, to Gru's disappointment, the Elven Kingdom's spy power in Negan has not yet reached that level, and Tren, as an important figure in the Entagri Empire, is closely protected by the Entagri army, and wants to monitor his whereabouts, although it cannot be said to be difficult, but it is not much worse.

Unable to grasp Tren's whereabouts, Gru was not reluctant to do so, reminding the Parson Entagri army that it might use a one-way magic portal to open the passage between the Castle of the Winds and Negan, in order to end its military operations in the Diya region as soon as possible, and he hoped that Parson would convince Magnus to agree to let him send elite troops to intercept the so-called reinforcements sent by the Entagri Empire.

"If the Entagri army really has such a plan, then it will be inevitable for Tren to go to the Yin Wind Castle to set up a magic mark, but the Entagri Empire also knows that it is quite dangerous to send Tren into Diya, so it is very likely that the Entagri army will use the attack on Blackhorn City as a cover, and loudly declare that they want to increase the troops of Diya, in order to attract the attention of all parties, but secretly send elite troops to escort Tren quietly into the Diya area, and the so-called reinforcements, the Entagre army composed of all flying troops, Maybe it's under the banner of support in the open, but secretly carrying out the mission of escorting Tren to intercept and destroy this army, we may be able to sabotage the plan of action of the Entagri army in Diya, if Tren is really in this army, we may even take this opportunity to make the Entagri Empire truly lose the ability to use one-way magic portals, otherwise, once Tren successfully arrives at the Yin Wind Castle, let the Entagri Empire also set a magic mark in the Dia region, You can use a one-way magic portal in the Dia region at will, and the situation in the Nadia region may change completely unexpectedly."

What made Gru very happy was that perhaps it was the possible result of making the Entagri Empire lose the use of the magic portal that made Magnus couldn't help but be moved, or maybe he was worried that the Entagri Empire would really use the magic portal to intervene more in Deya's war and affect the Bracada Kingdom's plan to annihilate the necromancer, this time, Magnus did not reject his proposal as forcefully as the previous time.

The Immortal King wrote back to Parson, saying that he would instruct Trotha to cooperate with the Elven King's team.

However, he also said that if the actions of the Entagri army are not as speculated by the Elven Kingdom, and this incident leads to a full-scale military conflict between the Entagri Empire and the Holy Alliance in the Diya region, then the Elven Kingdom must take on the main responsibility for the war with the Entagri army in the Diya region afterwards - that is, the elven kingdom must invest more in the war against the Necromancer and the Entagre army in the war against the Entagri army, both in terms of troops and resources, Or something else.

Parson was a little hesitant to make a mistake in Gru's judgment, but Gru managed to convince the Elven King, who now had a great deal of influence over the Elven King, and who was confident that his judgment would not be wrong.

"There's definitely something wrong with this support force," he wrote confidently in his letter to Palson.

"And even if the Holy Alliance has been re-formed, the Elven Kingdom still hasn't changed the fact that it is directly threatened by the powerful threat of the Entagri Empire, we have no reason to be overly accommodating to the ideas of the Bracada side, and give up such a great opportunity that may greatly weaken the strength of the Entagri Empire, after all, we proposed to reorganize the Holy Alliance, and the ultimate purpose is to use the power of the Holy Alliance to fight against the Entagri Empire, so as to protect ourselves, not to be manipulated by others"

After convincing Parson and getting in touch with Trosa, Gru personally led an elite formation of silver Pegasus composed of a large number of Jungle Guardian warriors, silver Pegasus knights, and elven mages to quietly enter the area between Castle of the Shadowwinds and Blackhorn, ready to wait for the rabbits.

The dark canopy of the necromancers helped Gru a lot at this time, and thanks to these ubiquitous black fogs, the defenders of the Yin Wind Fortress did not show Gru's actions.

A flying force of the Bracada Army operates alongside Gru's Silver Pegasus Formation, an air force of gargoyles and goblins, as well as a number of goblin magicians.

Combining the strength of the two armies, Gru, who had long known the specific composition of the Ntagrei Army's support force from intelligence, was quite confident in the outcome of this battle.

In order to deal with those Negan Black Dragons who are not afraid of magic, he even brought the Phantom Divine Bow.

"Jian Chen, Jian Chen, let me see what tricks you want to play in Diya."

Gru's side was well prepared, but the Ntagri army that was rushing to the Castle of the Windwinds did not realize that they had become the target of the enemy's attack.

The leader of this flying force is none other than the famous general of the Kerrigan clan who designed to intercept Catherine in the Doomsday Battle and almost succeeded, and the genius archdemon who also cultivates both magic and martial arts, and now the spokesperson of the Legan clan of the Entagri Empire, Zeda.

With his extraordinary ability and good performance all the time, now Zeda has also gained his due status in the Entagri Army, Chen Jian plans to form a separate air regiment, and uses Black Dragon Diodoras as the commander of this air regiment, and Zeda will be the deputy commander of this air regiment in the near future.

In the Entagrui Army, I don't know how many people are looking at this position now, but Chen Jian unexpectedly promoted Zeda to this position.

For this, Zeda is grateful.

Because this appointment not only represents the recognition of his personal ability, but also represents the Kerrigan family, which everyone once shouted at the Big 6, after this period of hard work, has truly integrated into the big family of the Entagrean Empire, and has been recognized by the high-level and other races of the Entagri Empire.

Zeda doesn't ask for anything else now, only that the Kerrigan clan can survive well in this Entagri Empire, and Jian Chen's appointment to him made him finally let go of the big stone he had always been thinking about.

So of course Zeda would be grateful to Jian Chen and the Ntagri Empire.

This time, Chen Jian sent him to Diya, and without saying a word, he patted his chest and said that he would never live up to the trust.

Zeda was well aware of the importance of this mission.

As long as this mission can be successfully completed, the Entagri army will be able to withdraw from Diya as quickly as possible, and whether the Entagri army can withdraw from Diya as soon as possible is related to whether the next pace of the Entagri empire can continue to maintain the same height.

So although he didn't think there would be any unexpected situation, Zeda still didn't dare to take it lightly.

He cautiously went all the way to the foot of Black Horn City, and after the round with Orison, in order to be more secure in the last part of the journey, he also obtained Chen Jian's consent and seconded some flying troops from Orison, in order to have more strength to ensure the smooth completion of this mission in case of emergency.

Unfortunately, he was unable to get Orison to provide more help because he was afraid that the movement would be too great, and because he was also worried that the army's slow advance on the ground would cause more troubles and unnecessary branches.

But now, Zeda is finally relieved.

From Blackhorn City to Yinfeng Castle, he took this flying unit with him, and he had already traveled more than halfway.

"Looks like nothing will happen"

Thinking like this, Zeda's nerves, which had been tense, began to relax a little.

But at this moment, a bad news came out of nowhere.

A scout team he sent out to scout the front of the team sent back the signal of an encounter.
