Chapter 777: Gru, Angry and Embarrassed
The arrival of the main forces of the Elven Kingdom and the Bracada Kingdom convinced Zeda that his guess was not wrong.
That is, although they don't know why the Elven Kingdom and the Bracada Kingdom were suspicious of the Entagre Army's actions this time and started a sniping operation, they obviously didn't know the true purpose of the Entagre Army, and they focused on the Entagre Army led by Zeda, but they didn't expect that in fact, the key to the Entagri Army's trip had actually been transferred to another place at this time.
Zeda decided to use this to further confuse his opponent.
After breaking through, he did not flee, but took most of the Entagri army to fight to the death.
At the same time, he assigned a small group of faster men to get out of the area as quickly as possible and flee in the direction of Pointe-Noire.
He intends to use this method to create some kind of illusion for his opponent.
This is undoubtedly a very dangerous way of fighting - the small detachment may be able to escape and join up with the Orison troops who are rushing from the city of Pointe-Noire, but the Ntagrean army that remains to contain the enemy may face the result of total annihilation, even Zeda himself.
Zeda didn't want to die, he still had a lot of things and wishes to accomplish in the new home of the Entagri Empire, and there he felt like he had been reborn.
But in order to live up to Chen Jian's trust, in order to buy more time for Wozak and others, he resolutely stayed.
Because although Wozak and the others have backup means of transportation, but in any case, their degree is still a little too slow, and once the enemy reacts to chase them, their situation may become very dangerous.
The longer his side dragged the enemy, the safer and better the chances of success on Worzak's side, and he had already informed the Entagri army in Castle of the Windwinds to try to meet Worzak and the others.
And even if he didn't do this, the soldiers of the Entagri Army's flying unit who stayed behind might not be able to escape today's catastrophe.
Because most of the soldiers of the Ntagari Army who stayed behind had already suffered injuries ranging from severity to severity in the fierce battle just now.
If it was in their heyday, if they had gone all out from the beginning, maybe they would have had a chance to escape, but now, because of their injuries, they were greatly reduced, and they did not have much chance of escape under the full pursuit of the enemy who was far outnumbered by their own.
It is better to be humiliated by the enemy from behind than to fight the enemy face-to-face until the last moment.
That's the style of the Ntagrean Army.
And doing so will further attract the attention of your enemies.
Zeda's eyes were full of trembling spirit, and behind him, the elite soldiers who were drawn from various units for this mission were also calm.
"Generosity is Today"
Pointing at the elven kingdom and the Bracada kingdom alliance that were rapidly approaching, Zeda's voice sounded like thunder in the air.
He used a very representative lyric of the military song of the Ruita Gree Army to boost the morale of his subordinates.
"Warriors of the Empire, fight for our Empire, for our faith"
"Courage, Responsibility, Honor"
He roared and roared.
"Courage, Responsibility, Honor"
More voices rang out in mid-air.
Although the number was far inferior to that of their opponents, at this moment, the astonishing momentum they exuded made the soldiers of the Elven Kingdom and the Bracada Kingdom who were approaching them couldn't help but be shocked.
Gru watched all this silently, although his face was calm, his heart was also a little shocked.
"Obviously at an absolute disadvantage, but still able to maintain such a high morale and fighting spirit, the Entagri army really did not disappoint me Chen Jian, Chen Jian, you can integrate these rabble left by Lord Negan and the remnants of the Cregan clan in such a short period of time, so that they can fight for you and the Entagri Empire to such an extent, the means are really good"
With that in mind, Gru's gaze shifted to the small force of the Ntagrean Army that was about to flee the area.
"They must not be allowed to escape"
Leaving behind what he thought was enough to continue to destroy the main force of the Entagre army in front of him who were trying to resist to the end, Gru himself took a part of his men and horses and went around in a circle, avoiding the entanglement of those Entagre troops, and chased after the small group of Entagre troops who were fleeing in a hurry.
At this time, Gru still didn't realize that what he was chasing was actually just a decoy force sent by Zeda.
But by this time, Gru had already noticed something.
That's him, the water magic master Tren, who doesn't seem to be in this Entagre army.
This made Gru a little confused, because he really couldn't think of any other reason than to escort Tren, so that the Ntagrean army could fight so far.
What could make them rather fight to the death than hold back the combined forces of the Elven Kingdom and the Kingdom of Bracada? The small army of the Ntagrean Army, which is desperately trying to escape, is it protecting who or what is leaving? Is Tren really one of them?
Grubai was puzzled.
Unbeknownst to the half-elf, he had been led to a misconception by his own preconceived notions and a series of illusions created by Zeda.
The wrong direction of thinking made him unable to solve the problem in time.
It wasn't until after chasing him a long distance that Gru realized in horror that he had sent Brendes to inspect the goods left behind by the Entagrean army, but Brendes had not given him any reply until now.
Even if there were a lot of goods, but after such a long time, there was no reason why Brendes had not been able to finish the inspection, and even if he hadn't finished the inspection, Brendes should have reported the situation to him first.
"Not good"
Thinking of this relationship, Gru's heart suddenly became a surprise.
He was really careless, for he suddenly remembered that the Ntagrean army had used those large chests they had made to transport troops in the forests of Turalea.
Those big cabinets can transport troops, and of course they can also hide people.
Only sent Brendes to bring such a small number of people to check, in case those things really contained the Ntagrei army, I am afraid that Brendes and the others at this time are already very lucky
He hurriedly asked people to take out the magic letter teleportation array used to contact Brentus, but he was angry that this magic letter teleportation array was no longer usable.
Looking at the letter teleportation array in his hand, which didn't respond no matter how much he tried, Gru finally understood that this time, he was really being tricked, and things were unfolding in the direction he least wanted to see.
Letting his men continue to chase and kill the small group of Ntagre's army that had fled, Gru himself rushed back to the area where he had fought with the Ntagrean army before, with a dozen or so guards.
By this time, the Entagri army under Zeda had been almost completely wiped out.
The set of refined full-body steel armor on Zeda's body, which was once mighty, was already in tatters at this time, covered with large and small cracks, and Zeda himself was scarred and exhausted.
He even lost an eye, it was the result of a stray arrow on the battlefield, if it wasn't for Zeda's quick reaction, he grabbed the shaft of the arrow with his hand in time to stop the castration of the arrow, this arrow, it would definitely pierce his head, but even so, this arrow still made the eyeball of his left eye completely burst.
For ordinary people, such a serious injury, I am afraid that he would have already fallen.
But Zeda was still fighting.
His body is in a ball of fire, constantly changing directions, no elf or god monster can block his giant scythe blow, even the body of the gargoyle, is often cut in two by him, his fire magic is also very powerful, with his strange shape, these magic often make his opponent unguardable, causing the greatest damage.
The remaining soldiers of the Entagrean Army are still fighting to the death, at this time there is no longer the majestic figure of Negan dragons in the sky, these big men due to the huge target, not long after the start of the war were besieged by many enemies, and then all folded under the rain of arrows of the elves, those weaker Harpy Warriors and Scorpion Lion have already been killed, at this time the remaining Entagri soldiers in the sky, only the strongest archangels and archdemon warriors.
The archangels are extremely skilled in martial arts, agile in size, and the archdemons have the ability to teleport the race, which allows them to survive the enemy's rain of arrows, but only the best of their battlefield experience can continue to fight hard until now, and now, even these archangels and archdemons have reached the point of exhaustion.
Under the absolute balance of power, no matter how much courage they have, the result will not change much.
However, Gru's arrival gave them an unexpected glimmer of life.
Because Gru quickly took away most of the manpower and took away the Phantom Divine Bow, which was crucial to the elven warriors, the pressure on the soldiers of the Entagri Army who had survived the battle was suddenly relieved.
"Finally, do you feel it?"
Seeing a large number of enemies rushing away from this battlefield, Zeda sighed and commanded the remnants of his subordinates to seize this rare opportunity to finally break through in one fell swoop, and then fight and retreat.
There is no point in entangling with the enemy any longer.
"Vozak, the rest is up to you, Your Majesty treats you so seriously, I hope you don't disappoint Your Majesty, otherwise, you are not only sorry for Your Majesty's weight, but also sorry for the many comrades-in-arms who sacrificed to cover you on this battlefield."
Thinking like this, Zeda couldn't hold it anymore, and after he personally cut it off, he finally didn't even have the strength to pull out the long-handled scythe from his opponent after he killed an elven knight again.
If it weren't for the desperate efforts of the two archangels and a Archdemon Kerrigan who were close to him to save him, maybe he would have lost his teleportation power and would have fallen to the land of Diya.
This result left Zeda with mixed feelings.
Although it was not the first time that he had fought side by side with the archangels on the battlefield after joining the Entagri Empire, he never thought that he would one day be saved by the archangels.
This kind of thing can only happen in the Entagre Army, right?
Thinking like this, a smile appeared on Zeda's face.
"If you make it back alive, I'll invite you to old Kobe's tavern for a drink," he said with difficulty to the two archangels who were supporting him on the left and right, "if you will enjoy the light."
On the other hand, Gru, who has made such a major mistake now, is secretly ashamed and angry.
"What a gaffe, such an obvious trap"
Now that he thinks about it, Gru realizes that he has been led by the nose by the Ntagrui army from the beginning.
The other party fought to the death, and also divided a decoy army, in the final analysis, all in order to further attract his attention, mislead him, and then delay time.
But Gru also had to admit that the Entagrean Army's hand was indeed very clever, and the Entagrean Army's desperate attitude did play a great role in misleading him.
Who would have thought that the real purpose of this Entagri army was to pay such a price just to stall for time? Who would have thought that this Ntagrean army had paid such a price, and what they really wanted to protect was not actually by their side?
However, Gru did not give up on this, although the methods of the Ntagari army are clever, he is not without a backhand, he knows that he still has a chance.
According to Gru's guess, if the Entagri Empire wants to end its military operations in the Diya region as soon as possible, it will inevitably have to use one-way magic portals.
And to use a one-way magic portal, the Entagri Empire will definitely manage to send Tren to the Netherwind Castle.
It's a given.
It was precisely because of this idea that Gru intercepted the Entagri army led by Zeda with such fanfare, because in his opinion, the so-called reinforcements sent by the Entagri army this time were actually aimed at sending Tren to Yinfeng Castle.
Tren is a master of water magic, and the teleportation magic of water magic is a great way to escape and hurry.
However, in the dark canopy, the effect of teleportation magic is greatly reduced, because the ubiquitous black fog makes this magic have no corresponding vision - if you can't see the destination, this magic can't be cast.
This meant that if Tren did come to Diya and hid in the previous shipping lockers or containers, he would not be able to use magic to move quickly, and he would have to move back and forth to the Castle in the usual way.
And Gru, just in case, also prepared some precautions when setting up the encirclement of the Ntagrei army.
He sent many small teams of elite jungle guardians, with some powerful elven magicians, led by those undead who were willing to use them, quietly lurked around the castle of the Shade Wind, secretly monitoring the roads and airspace around the Shadow Wind Castle.
This was his last line of defense to snipe Tren.
No matter how strong Tren is, he is still a person, and it is not impossible to snipe Tren by sneak attack.
And the sneak attack is exactly what the Guardians of the Jungle are good at.
Originally, Gru and his Jungle Guardian troops were able to snatch the Doomblade from the Kregans by sneak attacks.
Even better, Gru had just gotten a rather interesting piece of news from one of his small forces of Jungle Guardians tasked with keeping an eye on the Windy Fortress.
The flight unit of the Entagri Army that had been stationed in Yinfeng Fortress had already been dispatched from Yinfeng Castle, and the direction of movement was this area.
This Entagre army did not move early or late, but at such a time, it was still coming in this direction, and Gru did not think it was a coincidence.
The purpose of this Entagrean army was clearly to pick up the friendly forces that had been hiding in the shipping cabinets and containers.
In Gru's eyes, this Ntagrei army is simply his guiding light.
He had ordered the small forces of Jungle Guardians scattered around the area around the Windy Fortress to follow the Entagre army.
As long as he found the Entagrui army that dared to hide from the world and the sea under his nose, even if the sneak attack failed, these assembled jungle guardian troops would definitely be able to hold back the Entagre army very well.
Then as soon as the main force led by him arrived, the result would be completely different.
Thinking like this, Gru kept urging everyone to speed up, and many elven magicians under his orders kept giving a wide range of beneficial magic blessings to the silver Pegasus, in order to increase the flight speed, and the gods and monsters of the Bracada Army were not idle, and with their efforts, the gods and monsters of the Bracada Army whose flight was already faster than the silver Pegasus were in the air, and even no less than the angel clan who were good at flying.
However, when he passed by the place where the Entagre army had left the shipping cabinets and containers, Gru was deeply puzzled again.
Because he noticed something strange.
Although it was only a quick glance, he saw that there seemed to be a few fewer transport cabinets on the ground.
Thinking that it was not right, Gru did not hesitate this time, he let the group continue to chase the enemy, but he landed on the ground with some of his men.
The corpses of Brendes and the others on the ground made Gru's face turn blue - these elves who died in battle were the best proof of his mistake this time, so they seemed quite dazzling to him.
Circling around the ground, Gru soon became aware of more strange things.
There were indeed fewer shipping lockers, and among the shipping cabinets and containers that remained, Gru had some odd, unexplained, and vandalized devices.
In addition, there are some magic materials scattered around these devices that fail to destroy the clean.
"What are the Entagree doing here? Where are the missing shipping cabinets? Was it the Ntagrean army that took it away? What's inside? ”
Looking at all this, Gru suddenly realized that the purpose of the Entagre Army's trip might not be to escort Tren as he thought.
"What the hell is the Ntagrei trying to do? Am I wrong from the beginning? ”
