Chapter 703: The First Defeat of the Empire Save Tren

Seeing that he was about to complete the final blow, the attack magic was unexpectedly dispelled by the enemy's water magic master with a dispel, Gru couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

In today's battle, the Ntagrei Army really gave him too many surprises.

The force he now led with more than 20,000 people, consisting of Jungle Guardians, Silver Pegasus Knights, and Elven Magicians, no matter which battlefield it was placed on the mainland, was undoubtedly a formidable force, and it should have been quite easy for Gru to raid a military camp with only 30,000 troops in the enemy's rear without the enemy's knowledge.

But now, the reality of the situation is that the army is completely locked in a bitter battle due to the stubborn resistance of the enemy.

Except for the fact that at the beginning of the war, the enemy was caught off guard and he succeeded in destroying the flying unit, the situation has always been unexpected for Gru.

The near-total annihilation of the flying troops, the crushing defeat of the dragons, and the non-stop rain of arrows did not inflict a heavy blow on the enemy's morale as he had hoped, and thus broke the enemy's will to resist.

Despite such heavy losses, the Entagri army stationed in Abaden did not give up resistance, and even tried to salvage the situation after seeing through his intentions.

During the battle, Gru was even more amazed by the military quality displayed by this army, as well as the strange steel chariots that were driven by an unknown force, and the hoplites who had just inflicted heavy casualties on his Jungle Guardian troops, which also made the half-elves deeply shocked.

This Entagre army is the enemy's elite main force? Or maybe not? Gru was deeply worried about this, and he couldn't imagine that if this Entagri army was really just an ordinary army of the enemy as the intelligence showed, then the overall strength of the Entagri army would reach an astonishing level, and its most elite troops would have a terrible combat effectiveness.

For a moment, Gru even had the idea of abandoning the Elven Kingdom and joining the Ntagri Empire, and then trying to use this powerful empire to his advantage.

However, he also understood that this kind of thing could only be thought about, and in order to obtain the Ice Sword, he had to use the power of the Elven Kingdom, because the secret of the Ice Sword was only held by the Elven Kingdom.

Before getting the Ice Sword, he couldn't give up the Elven Kingdom, and after getting the Ice Sword, the Entagri Empire also lost its usable value, and it didn't matter if he joined it or not, whether it could be used by him or not.

Therefore, Gru knew that he was destined to maintain this hostile relationship with the Entagri Empire, and this relationship would not be able to change if nothing happened to him.

However, it was also a little strange to Gru himself that after confirming this matter, for some reason, he was supposed to be angry that his plan was once again met with unexpected resistance, but instead of being as angry as he thought, on the contrary, he had some expectations because of it.

It's just that even he can't figure out what he's expecting.

Is it another fight with the Ntagrean Army? Gru watched the battle from the air, thoughtful.

Perhaps, fighting against a powerful opponent can indeed make people happy, and this is the only thing that can make him happy.

At this time, the situation on the battlefield once again underwent a subtle change.

The dragon troops of the Abadon defenders, who had been heavily damaged in the battle before, and now only had more than a hundred Negan dragons left, relied on their strong defense and the assistance of friendly forces, and finally took the lead in breaking through the blockade of the silver Pegasus knights after paying another heavy price, and now they are hurrying towards the direction of the improvised warehouse, along the way, these dragon warriors who have killed red-eyed dragons burned countless silver Pegasus knights into fire meteors that fell to the ground with dragon flames.

The ntagrean army mages led by Tren have also relied on the magic wands in their hands at this time to completely suppress the elven mages, and the water mages among them have focused their attention on the area around the improvised warehouse, and through Tren's reminder of the enemy's magical actions, these mages already know what they should do now.

On the ground, the advance of the Entagrean army is also an irreversible fact, and although the interception of the silver Pegasus knights continues to bring a large number of casualties to the Entagri army, it cannot stop their momentum of advancement.

All this made Gru understand that if this battle continued like this, the result would only be a defeat for both sides, and even if he won, it would only be a miserable victory.

And another fluctuation of water magic elements in the air that made people palpitate, made Gru feel a great sense of crisis, he understood that the enemy's water magic master was going to act again, and it was very likely that this time he would use the magic of teleportation, the situation on the side of the improvised warehouse was so critical, Gru could imagine the other party's plan to use teleportation to send reinforcements to the area, or move the elven army out of the area.

This possibility made Gru anxious to distance himself from his own magicians again, and the elemental fluctuations caused by those magicians made them stand out like torches in the darkness on this battlefield, and it was really dangerous to get too close to them.

He then used a magic signal to give the order for the entire army to retreat, and he himself began to leave the battlefield under the protection of some Jungle Guardian warriors.

Of course, before leaving, he didn't forget to give his opponent the final blow.

The battle has been fought like this, after paying so much price, if you can't complete the strategic goal that you have set, then it will be a big loss, the typical stealing of chickens does not make rice, of course Gru will not let this happen, so he resorted to the last resort he has been hiding.

The half-elf pulled out a magic scroll and unleashed a powerful area attack spell - Ice Burst - at the crumbling improvised warehouse.

He was joined by several other Jungle Guardian warriors, all of whom wielded powerful magic scrolls.

There is no need to chant spells, no magic is instilled, even ordinary people can use it easily, and the magic is formed so quickly that the magicians of the Entagre Army did not expect the enemy to have such a hand, and they were not able to react at all.

In the dazzling light of a magical explosion, the improvised warehouse containing the magical materials that were vital to the Entagrean army, along with the magical materials contained therein, disappeared into the land of Abbaden.

"It's a pity, I originally wanted to save these magic scrolls"

One last glance at the situation on the battlefield, Gru sighed in a low voice.

With Gru's identity all along, it is not easy to get the high-power magic scrolls that have always been regarded as important strategic materials by the major forces, this time for the purpose of the Offer strategy, Parson was very generous to transfer a batch of such magic scrolls from the treasury to him, Gru planned to swallow all these magic scrolls privately, in case of future needs, but he did not expect to be forced to use them by the Entagri army.

"It seems that I'm still a little too underestimated, it's really not a good thing to be overconfident, and the Entagre Army is really a very good opponent"

The retreat of the Elven King's team finally brought the battle that took place at dawn to an end with the Elven Kingdom completing its strategic goal after a hard battle.

Just for this goal, the elite army of the elven race led by Gru had to leave nearly 6,000 corpses on the land of Abaden, which is definitely a heavy loss, especially when the members of this army are all jungle guardians and silver Pegasus knights, as well as elven elites such as magicians, and carry the artifact phantom bow of the town country to fight, such a loss is a little difficult for the high-level of the elf kingdom to accept.

But victory is victory after all, behind the huge price, the results achieved by the elven kingdom are also quite gratifying, because of this battle, the Entagre army in the Ofer region lost the strong support of Nigan soil, and had to use inferior forces to resist the subsequent large-scale attack of the elf kingdom, and also faced a serious problem such as insufficient supplies, which means that in this battle for Ofer, the elven kingdom has taken the lead.

In contrast, although the enemy attack was repelled after a hard battle, the Entagre army ushered in the first fiasco since the formation of the army, the 30,000-strong Abadon defenders, the flying troops were almost completely wiped out, the ground troops also suffered heavy losses, and the dragon troops that were relied on as an important combat force suffered more than half of the casualties, and the Imperial warrior troops that were specially deployed not long ago were not among the ten survivors after this battle.

According to the statistics after the battle, the total number of dead in the battle of the Abaden defenders reached nearly 10,000, and the number of wounded was even higher, even the powerful water magic master Tren also suffered some minor injuries, and due to the small number of angelic troops stationed by the Entagre Army in the Ofer region, most of the dead could not be resurrected.

What's worse is that because most of the magic materials were destroyed by the enemy, the one-way portal could not be rebuilt, Tren could not use magic to return to Negan in time, and the one-way portal transportation system of the Entagri Empire was completely paralyzed, which not only made the battle situation in the Ofer region quite unfavorable to the Entagre army, but even affected the overall strategy of the Entagre Empire, and even the battle situation in the Beddes area with the Entagre army was also quite badly affected.

This is typical of pulling the hair and moving the whole body.

When the news reached Negan, the top brass of the Entagri Empire was greatly shaken.

The failure came so suddenly, and the consequences were so severe, that almost everyone who heard the news had doubts about their hearing.

Chen Jian is no exception.

Chen Jian, who was worried about the Elven Kingdom and the Erathia Empire attacking him at the same time, and was nervously formulating a counterattack strategy, was greatly discouraged by this news, and even accidentally knocked over a bottle of ink.

"What's going on? Why did such a large force of the enemy appear in the area of Ofer, and our army did not know anything? After coming back to his senses, Jian Chen was furious, "How did they sneak into Orbiter?" All the roads on the western border are under our control, and aren't the mountains to the northwest also patrolled? How could the enemy appear in the hinterland of Overh without realizing it? ”

Of course, Chen Jian didn't say these words, he was just ruthless in his heart, things have already happened, rushing to hold him accountable will not help, and it will also cause the dispersion of people's hearts, and the top priority is to try to remedy the situation and reduce the possible losses to the minimum.

Therefore, after learning that Tren was safe and sound, the first thing Chen Jian did was to let the defenders of Abaden report the story of this battle and the situation in Abaden in detail and truthfully.

After figuring out what happened, Jian Chen immediately gathered his subordinates to discuss countermeasures.

"The enemy took advantage of the weakness of our army's over-reliance on one-way portals for maneuvering, which shows that the enemy's actions were premeditated, and it may have been even before our army took control of the Ofer area, the enemy had already begun to make preliminary arrangements, otherwise, it is difficult to explain why the enemy could suddenly appear in the heart of Ofer with such a large army, and our army knew nothing."

At the beginning of the meeting, Chen Jian first used such words to attribute the possible responsibility for this incident to the enemy, and now that the Ntagrui army, which has been smooth sailing, has been defeated, and the situation is so grim, it is very important to stabilize the morale of the army, so he wants to use this method to show everyone his attitude in this matter.

It's just that Chen Jian didn't know that his speculation was extremely close to the truth of the matter.

Jian Chen's words and his calm demeanor made many people present secretly breathe a sigh of relief and their hearts were settled.

After that, the crowd began to discuss how to deal with the current situation.

Soon, the focus of the discussion shifted to how to bring Tren back to Negan.

Because the easiest and quickest way to solve the current dilemma is to bring Tren back to Negan and let the one-way Might and Magic transportation system with him at its core work again.

And there are two ways to get Tren back to Negan.

One is to try to escort Tren to Bailders and use the local two-way portal back to Negan; The second is to ask the army in the nearby Bailders region to send people to send the magic materials needed to build the magic portal to the defenders in the Ofer area.

It's just that these two methods, if you want to achieve, are not so easy.

The first method is very risky, although Tren is strong, he is a magician after all, no matter how much his magic power is, it is not inexhaustible, he needs time to rest, he needs time to meditate, when he runs out of magic in battle, his combat power is not much stronger than ordinary soldiers.

This point, the Entagri Empire can think of it, and of course the Elven Kingdom will also think of it, and Tren is the key to whether the Entagri Empire can use a one-way magic portal, so it would be a strange thing if the Elf Kingdom did not have a follow-up military action against Tren, not to mention that Chen Jian and the others were not sure how much strength the Elf Kingdom hid in the Oufu region.

In this case, of course, it is impossible for the Entagri army to let Tren go on the road alone as they did when they were adventuring on the continent in the past, and it is impossible to send only a small number of elite troops to escort them.

Sending a large army to protect it is not too much of a problem in terms of security, but then the target is too large, it is very easy to attract the enemy's focused attack, and the slow movement of the army will also waste the time that is quite valuable to the Entagri army at this time.

The second method is of course very safe for Tren's personal safety, with Tren's skills and a large army on his side, it is by no means easy for the enemy to take his life, but it is relative, and it is equally difficult to transport magic materials from Bairders to Ofer.

The reason is the same as the reason for the first method, the elven kingdom is prepared this time, and it is natural that it will guard against all possible countermeasures of the Entagre army, they have no reason to let the Entagri army easily crack the game they set, they will snipe Tren, of course, they will also intercept the delivery of materials, the transport team sent by Bailders, there is no guarantee of safety when there are fewer people, and the speed is slow when there are more people, and it is a waste of time to delay the fighter, and Tren has been trapped in Ofer, and there is also a certain risk.

Because of these reasons, everyone has not been able to make a decision, and Chen Jian has been hesitant.

"Otherwise, I'll just run it myself" Noticing that Jian Chen was starting to show a little irritation, Morriel sighed, stood up and signaled everyone to be quiet, and then put forward his opinion to Jian Chen, "Gather the warriors of the dragon clan, the angel clan and the archdemon clan in the Baildus region, and then use the two-way portal to transport some dragons over, we should be able to gather a small elite army with strong combat effectiveness and high mobility, plus some magicians to help, I think I'll be able to safely and quickly enter the Overland with the supplies I need to rebuild the portal, and then rebuild the portal there and bring Master Tren back to Negan."

This is a way, Morryll is very alert, and with her on the horse, the success rate will definitely be much higher, but Jian Chen is still a little hesitant.

Because of Moriel's method, it is necessary to mobilize the already small number of top troops in the Bailders area, and now that the Elasia army is pressing, the war will start at any time, without the help of these top troops, it is likely to have some negative impact on the local war, and whether Morrill can take this force to break through the enemy's blockade is still a question, if it fails, the loss will be great.

So Chen Jian really couldn't make up his mind.

Just then, another person in the conference hall stood up.

"Your Majesty, the situation is so critical that we must make a decision as soon as possible, if you believe in my abilities, please leave this matter to me, I am confident that I can avoid the eyes and ears of the enemy, infiltrate the Ofer alone, and then use magic to send Mr. Tren back to Negan"
