Chapter 10 - Scarlet (Happy New Year)

A flash of white light flashed, and Lu Ming and Edsol teleported to the second line of defense located a few kilometers behind the small city. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Seeing that Lu Ming and the three of them had also retreated from the small city to the second line of defense, Tourres, who had finally been released by Raels, walked over and asked, "I heard that the elven clan sent giants, have you killed some of them?" ”

"There were twenty of them in total, and we killed nineteen, and the last one was dragged by Lu Ming's summon to a place in the Shadow World that was not connected to other areas. It is estimated that it has also been eaten now. Edsall, who was frightened by something, threw him on the ground, and Lothric said.

"And what's going on with him?" Glancing at Edsor slightly, seeing that he was shivering on the ground, Touris asked with some confusion.

"It's nothing, just invited him to watch a scene."

"A scene is scared like this? What did you show him? ”

"Shogues gnaws at giants."

"......" Hearing Lu Ming's answer, Touris felt a little pity for Edsall, but now was not the time to pity him, so she just asked a soldier on the side to drag Edsol away, and didn't say anything.

Following Tourres, Lu Ming and Lothric, who had just fought a battle, came to the headquarters of the second line of defense, where they were ready to hold a meeting with the commanders of the other legions of the second line according to the information obtained from the small city, and discuss a way to repel the elven army.

However, before those commanders came here, Lu Ming first whispered to Raman Las, who was already waiting for him here.

"I'm relieved to see you're okay." After Lu Ming sat down beside him, Raman Lasi leaned his head on Lu Ming's shoulder.

"Those things, stupid giants, don't have the power to hurt me." Holding Raman Lasi's hand, Lu Ming said with a smile.

Hearing the confidence in Lu Ming's words, Raman Rath said with a slight worry: "I know my husband is very powerful, but next time, you will retreat with me, you know?" ”

"I listen to you, dear." Knowing that Raman was worried about herself, Lu Ming agreed to her very obediently. The first is to make Raman Lace feel at ease, and the second is not to make any more limelight on the battlefield. After all, the more fame you have, the more your enemies want to kill you.

In order to live a little longer, he decided to be a little cowardly on the battlefield. Of course, it's not really cowardice, but it means that the work of charging into battle is handed over to people like Tourres, who like to charge into battle, and he only needs to command the soldiers of Yugosotus well, and from time to time snipe some middle and low-level officers with the bow of hope. Other things, others will do. If he does anything, he will be hated by others!

Moreover, even if there are things that only he can do, others will come to him, and it is very easy for him to lose his head in a large-scale war!

While Lu Ming and Raman Lasi were talking there, the commanders of several legions in the second line of defense came to the headquarters one after another, sat down one by one, and prepared to start the meeting.

Seeing this, Lu Ming and Raman Lace had no choice but to sit down and no longer let off flashbangs.

After everyone was seated, Touris took the seat of the commander-in-chief and said to everyone present: "Now the first line of defense at the front line has been lost, although the hard fighting of Yugsotus, Akundala, and several armies killed a large number of enemy troops, and when retreating, they managed to annihilate all the vanguard of the giant siege force in Alpha's army. However, we don't know how many giants Alpha has sent to our Erepos, so now we must prepare in advance! ”

As he spoke, Touris looked at Raman Rath and said, "Now, in order to prepare in advance, Duke Unos would like to ask you to tell me about the enemy deployment and the tactics used by the enemy army when you and your army were fighting on the front line!" ”

"Okay then." Raman Rath stood up, glancing his eyes around all the commanders here before speaking, "At first, the enemy we encountered in the first line of defense was about eighty thousand soldiers. In the morning, after a rapid march, they immediately chose to attack the city, but after losing a certain number of soldiers, the commander of Alpha's army ordered the siege troops to retreat and bombard the walls of our army with artillery, which lasted until an hour after our magician had drawn the magic array, and then the bombardment stopped. However, only half an hour later, they began to siege the city again, and had to retreat under the surprise attack of our army's monsters and an experimental puppet soldier. Finally, at nine o'clock in the night, the third siege was launched, and this time, they sent the giants, so that our army had to choose to give up. ”

"In other words, the elves launched a total of three sieges?" After Raman Rath finished speaking, the commander of a three-thousand-strong legion stood up and asked Raman Rath and Lu Ming.

"Yes! Alpha's army had launched three sieges," Raman Rath nodded.

At this time, Lu Ming also stood up and said to everyone: "In these three sieges, Count Lothric and I found that the commander of the elven clan does not seem to simply want to capture the small city where the first line of defense is located, but wants to consume the lives of our and the other party's own soldiers as much as possible!" ”

"What?"

"Is he crazy?"

Glancing at the people who were a little incredulous, Lu Ming then said: "When the first time the city was attacked, the other party launched it immediately after the rapid march. As is usually the case, he should let the soldiers rest for a while before attacking. But he chose to let the soldiers attack when they were most tired, without the slightest concern about whether the soldiers were still physically capable of attacking the city. Moreover, the shelling after the failure of the first siege is also very puzzling. Knowing that we had already drawn a magic array to defend against the shelling, and that it would be a waste of ammunition to continue the shelling, we still forcibly shelled for an hour. This may lead to the depletion of your own ammunition. ”

"You're saying that the elves aren't monolithic, they also have internal power struggles, and that soldier's strange practice is that one side deliberately consumes the other's army?"

That's pretty much what it means. Moreover, we found that those giants did not belong to the same army as the elves who were besieging the city, and when the giants reached the first line of defense, many of the elven soldiers who were fighting against us were shouting the word 'reinforcements' in Elven language, so we felt that the commander of this army was probably not the same force as the elven general who was in charge of the entire Mirakesa battle. The reason why he did this was just to make trouble for the commander-in-chief, and to make the other party hate him and attack him, so that his own side could do something to him. Lu Ming nodded and said.

"I didn't expect that Afa's group of souls would look down on us like this, at this time, they can all fight among themselves!"

"Since they look down on us like this, we might as well be ruthless and let them know who is the master of this land!"

"Yes, we should give these souls a little lighter!"

Seeing that many commanders were clamoring to give the behemoth of the Alpha Empire a little color because Alpha underestimated his own country and the abilities of his own people, Lothric immediately stood up and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, our strength is not enough to deal a heavy blow to Alpha's army, and we should still rely on this Mordred Fortress and the forests on both sides of the fortress to defend against the attack of the Elves." After reinforcements from other principalities arrive, it's time for us to counterattack! ”

Hearing this, Touris also said: "Ladies and gentlemen, now we are the last wall in front of the elven army, once they cross us, they will be a flat river behind them, and they can go straight to Agamemnon City!" So now is not the time to fight back, we must calm down and wait for an opportunity to completely defeat the army of the Alpha Empire! ”

"Okay. But when the time comes, you want us to crush them completely!" ”

"Yes, when the time comes, you must let us annihilate all these souls who have invaded our motherland!"

Lu Ming smiled slightly and said, "Everyone, the elves of Alpha dare to cross the border and invade our land, so why should we let them go?" We can only defend passively now, but when the time comes, we will send all these elves to the Grim Reaper for tea! So don't worry, we just need to survive and wait for reinforcements to arrive before we can start the counteroffensive! ”

Hearing Lu Ming's words, the commanders thought about it and found that the army on their side was indeed a little deficient now. The 80,000 elves who fought with Lu Ming and them were just a vanguard in the Alpha army, and the real highlight was still to come!

"So, now it's time to engrave the walls of the fortress with a shield magic array, and make as many ballistas of local giants as we can?"

"Yes. We need to prepare a magic circle for protection and weapons against the giants, and the rest of the things that the Church of Light and (the Hunters) will send for us. If only they could be a little faster than the elves! Touris nodded slightly, and then continued......

-----------------------------------

Half an hour later, standing outside the small city of the first line of defense, an elven general and his lieutenant were silent for a long time in front of a huge skeleton that was stained with blood and was blood-red. Behind them, there were more than a dozen of these giant skeletons, as well as the remains of tens of thousands of elves.

They, like these giants, were eaten by something.

But the monster that was called 'Shugoth' by the few survivors that survived, what it was, and how it could be restrained, was completely unknown.

"My lord, they must have chosen to retreat and summon that kind of monster after seeing the giants and thinking that there was no chance of victory!" After the general and the adjutant were silent for a long time, an officer on the side could not bear the silence, so he opened his mouth to break the uncomfortable silence.

"I know, but, I want to know how to take out this monster!" The general glanced at the officer slightly and said coldly.

At this time, the lieutenant on the side spoke: "That monster is a summon, and if we prepare properly, we can banish it back to its own world the moment the Mirakesa summon it." It's just that the lower officials are a little worried about the people who shot the general of the forest arrow and the dark messenger. It was thousands of meters from this small city that didn't even have a name to where the two of them were. Being able to shoot an arrow at them at such a distance, and only shoot a single arrow, is no different from a curse. ”

"Two adults, there are many people who use this kind of golden arrow in Mirakaisa, and almost every big city will have one or two moonlight wolves who have been blessed by the beast god of the beast ear clan are issuing tasks, and this golden arrow is given as a reward to those who have completed the tasks they have given." An officer who had worked as an undercover agent in Tartarus walked over with several golden arrows and said to the general and adjutant: "It's just that there are not many people who can turn arrows into curses and almost every hundred shots in the Duchy of Erepos, and there are only a dozen people in total. There are only three of them who are most likely to shoot those two here! ”

"Those three?" The general asked, glancing back at the officer.

"The first is Count Lagman Vlad of Caron. His archery skills are basically terrifying arrows that are fired by the magic of the curse, but anyone who is entangled in his curse will be killed by one of his arrows, even if they are a few kilometers away! ”

"The second is the advisor to the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Errebos, Count of Lothric. His archery skills have also reached the level of a curse. Or rather, all his attacks carry a strong curse. Although archery can't shoot people a few kilometers away like Count Lagerman Vlad's, he can still do it at a distance of several kilometers! ”

"Who's the third person?"

"The third is the deputy commander of Yugsotus, Viscount Lu Ming. There is a legend in Erebos that he was a hero who fought against the Dark, and that he would not hesitate to hunt down the Dark. In addition, his archery skills are not ordinary archery, but a terrifying curse derived from the obsession of one of the royal families of the Cold Valley, and basically like Lothric, he can shoot enemies thousands of meters away at will. Moreover, the most terrible thing is that the arrows he uses are all special arrows, either golden arrows or thunder arrows or poisoned poisoned arrows, which are basically equivalent to serious injuries if hit! ”

Hearing this, the general of the elven clan couldn't help but look at the bones of some elves with arrows on their heads on the battlefield, and saw that the arrows on the heads of these bones were divided into two types, one was the enchanted arrow made by Erebos himself, the Elel rocket, and the other was the golden arrow that shot the general of the forest arrow and the dark messenger.

Pulling a golden arrow and an Elel rocket from the bones of the two elves, and after carefully examining the puppet, the elven general asked his lieutenant, "What can the scarlet monster get to this side?" ”

"Three more days!"

"Then, let's give these inferior races another three days, and when that guy arrives, whether it's Loslick or Lu Ming, I want them all to die in Mordred Fortress!!"
