Chapter 8 - Soldiers and Commanders

At the same time that Alpha's army retreated, it began to rain in the sky. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's raining." Raindrops fell on Lu Ming's face, causing him to raise his head and take a look at the already cloudy sky.

"Rainy days can have a big impact on vision. It looks like there will be a fierce battle tonight. Edsor looked at the sky and Effar's troops, and said with some concern.

"yes." As for Edsall's worries, Lu Ming, Lo Slick, and other officers were also more or less worried.

Originally, the view at night was not very good, and if it rained again, the best view might not be 100 meters. In such a situation, if there is no mage to provide lighting, it is likely that Alpha's army will seize the opportunity to advance the siege weapons to a very disadvantageous position with Lu Ming and the others, so as to launch an unimaginable attack on this small city that is not very large. So in order to avoid this kind of thing from happening, Lu Ming made a decision immediately, and without hesitation, he led the magicians to make some magic lamps on the city wall to provide lighting, so as not to have some very bad situations.

But after two sieges, most of the magicians were gone, and if the elves had to carry out a third siege at night, they would probably be halfway through the battle, and the magicians would have turned into a bunch of archers.

The mana regeneration rate and the low rank of most mages are the reasons why most of the countries of Pulu can't treat mages as a major class, after all, warriors and priests are easier to train than mages, and they are much faster to advance than mages that require a lot of knowledge to build a foundation. It is also because of this that even the Yugsotus established by Lu Ming and Lothric has only a few magicians, and most of the others are priests and warriors.

"What are we going to do now, just waiting for the other party to attack us again and again?" At this time, Raman Lace suddenly asked Lu Ming and the others.

"Nope! We must find a chance to fight back, otherwise we will be beaten passively like this, and one day this small city will be captured by them, after all, the gap between us and them is too great! Lu Ming shook his head and said.

"So what should we do? Now they are several times stronger than us, and even a surprise attack is unlikely to be able to repel them. Moreover, it often rains in this area during this season, and fire attacks are not realistic. There are no big rivers in the vicinity, and there is no way to attack them by water. "As the most proficient in warfare among the officers, Edsor told Lu Ming, Lothric, Raman Rath and others about the current very unfavorable situation.

"There are too many people on the other side, and even if you let the priests ride their horses lightly and shoot thunder guns at the enemy, the benefits you can get are very small. Aside from Professor Thatch and Professor Unos' puppet soldiers, we now have basically no other abilities that can counter Alpha. Hawkwood spoke, adding something that Edsol hadn't mentioned.

Hearing this, Lu Ming was slightly silent, and then said, "It seems that we really can only wait." ”

"Wait?" Hearing Lu Ming's words, Lo Slick and the others were slightly stunned, not knowing what Lu Ming meant. However, listening to what he said, there should be some special news, otherwise with Lu Ming's temperament, he would have fought hard.

Regardless of what other people thought, Lu Ming looked at the army of Alpha in the distance lightly, and slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, looking extremely dangerous......

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

Late at night, in the elven camp, several elven officers were mobilizing their troops to prepare for the third siege.

It's just that for the failure of the first two sieges, many elven soldiers began to question the commander's decision, because in the last two sieges, as long as they persevered, the magicians among the soldiers of the Principality of Errebos in the Kingdom of Mirakesa would run out of magic and become useless archers, and then they would be able to kill the tower and capture the city gate.

Moreover, even if they were repulsed by the soldiers of the Duchy of Erepos, they would be able to kill most of the magicians who had run out of mana, and let the artillery battalion deliver a fatal blow to the other side, instead of almost abandoning the artillery battalion and losing nearly 10,000 elves to the soldiers.

But dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and the siege must continue. It's just that if this time, the commander chooses to let them retreat during the siege of the city again, don't blame them for hacking him to death, and replace someone else as the commander. After all, it is too much to attack the city again and again, retreat, and then attack the city, constantly using the lives of your own soldiers to consume the opponent's arrows!

"Commander, you say, can we take this small city this time?" At this moment, one of the elven soldiers who was assembling suddenly asked his commander.

"Yes! Why not! The commander, who had a thousand soldiers under his command, smiled slightly and said.

"However, I always felt that the general didn't really want to take this small city, otherwise he wouldn't have made several wrong decisions." Another soldier glanced slightly at the commander's tent and whispered.

Hearing this, this commander and other middle- and low-level officers couldn't help but feel a little like this, but out of loyalty to the country and Her Majesty the Empress, they did not echo the man's words, but reprimanded the soldier who said what he thought with some dissatisfaction.

"What nonsense! Assemble now, we're going to start the siege! ”

"Yes, sir!!" Knowing that the officers were protecting their talking creeps, the elven soldiers answered and entered the team that was about to set off to attack the city, ready to start another siege.

And just as they were about to set off for the third siege, in the elven commander's tent, an old man in a black robe, who could not tell whether it was a human or an elf, was discussing with the commander about the next move.

"Now, within the Alpha Empire, many nobles have sworn allegiance to our blood clan and the Dark Church. So you don't have to worry that what you're doing now will be known to your empress, who has no noble allegiance at all, and you don't have to worry about being punished. Because everything you're doing now is for Eldridge's sake! "The old man, hidden under his robes, has a very seductive voice that bewitches the commander of Alpha's army.

"However, if I give up halfway again, I am afraid that Marshal Salador will kill me!" The commander of the elven clan said worriedly.

"General Tursharasa, your current fears are completely unwarranted, because we don't want you to make a third retreat. Now the best way to consume the elven army loyal to the royal family is to fight to the death! ”

"Why? If we really want to capture that small city by the arrows of the forest, it will be absolutely impossible for them humans to defend it! ”

"Well, you're wrong."

"What?"

"The rain of thunder and guns in Yugsotus, I guess the generals have already seen it, right?" The old man asked the commander slightly.

"Thunderstorm? The kind of tactic that uses the miracle of the undead, I have already seen it in the first siege. But I don't understand how that kind of thing could keep my army out of the walls. ”

"Thunder Gun Rain is naturally impossible, but the strongest place in Yugosotus is not Thunder Gun Rain, the most terrifying thing about them is that each of them has signed a contract with the shadow creatures of the Shadow World, once they summon the shadow creatures to this world through the power of the contract, what do you think your army still has a chance of winning?"

"I don't know where you got the information, but because Lord Eldridge exchanged the Giant Ember for a territory with Her Majesty the Empress, many of my troops now have thunder-type weapons in their hands! These weapons were enough for them to hurt the shadow creatures, so I didn't think they could hold this siege for a long time! The commander glanced at the old man with great suspicion and said coldly.

At this time, the old man suddenly shouted with dissatisfaction: "Grad Tursarasa! Are you saying bad things about Lord Eldridge!? ”

Hearing this, the commander of the elven clan immediately said, "I don't have the idea of speaking ill of Lord Eldridge, I'm just telling the truth!" ”

But as soon as his words fell, the old man sneered and said, "Say whatever you want, anyway, a guy like you who is not loyal enough to Lord Eldridge will know that Lord Eldridge is powerful when the time comes." ”

As he spoke, the old man walked out and said, "In addition, when your soldiers return from defeat, you will know if this special army of Eugosotus can help the ordinary army of Erebos to defend against the offensive of your forest arrows!" ”

Hearing this, the commander of the elven clan couldn't help but grit his teeth and glared at the man, snorted very dissatisfied, and turned around to ignore the old man.

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

Standing on the city wall in the heavy rain, Lu Ming used his magic to look at Ifa's army in the distance who were preparing to attack again, and said to Raman Rath and Miral on the side: "Ifa's third siege is coming, you have time to hide back to safety now, and you won't be able to leave when the battle begins." ”

"What do you mean! Look down on both of us? When Miral heard this, he said with some dissatisfaction: "Do you think I am a rich lady who can't see blood? I've been an undead person I've traveled to Dolanguerg before!! ”

At this time, Raman Rath also said: "I participated in the war against Yalu, so I hope to continue to fight side by side with you here!" ”

"Whatever...... "Glancing at the elven army, knowing that it is impossible for the elven clan to retreat this time, Lu Ming summoned a noble lady in a black dress and an angel in white armor with a contract, and said to the two of them: "Domira, Kath, protect the two of them." ”

"Okay, Dad." "Yes, father." The summoned Shadow Demon and the Seraph replied in unison.

Yes, these two women who were summoned by Lu Ming were the adopted daughters of the two shadow creatures and light elemental creatures that Lu Ming had summoned from the Shadow World and the Light Elemental World. Although they are only one and a half years old, they are already strong in their respective worlds, so the two of them have been able to protect Ramanrath and Miral.

Moreover, the Shadow Demon and the Seraphic are both very powerful existences, which can bring a lot of advantages to the battle situation.

However, to the surprise of Raman Rath and Miral, the shadow demon Domira was able to speak!

Shadow demons can't speak, because their minds are very chaotic, and although they have a certain amount of wisdom and can listen to the contractor and develop feelings for the contractor, they have not yet reached the level of speaking. And Domela ......

"Talking Shadow Demon...... What kind of forbidden experiment did Lu Ming do? Watching Domira use the shadow to turn the gorgeous dress on her body into a pair of jet-black armor, Heness, who was standing not far away, couldn't help but mutter.

However, when Lothric, who was not far away, heard her murmuring, he said a word that startled Henes, Edsol and the others.

"If you've ever seen him give a terrifying monster of Shogues's intelligence and ability to speak, you'll know what kind of taboo he's playing."

Hearing Lothric's words, almost everyone who had heard of Shogues from the news coming out of Amp was shocked, and even Domira, the shadow demon, and Keth, the Seraph, couldn't help but pinch slightly, one can imagine how terrifying the terrifying existence of Shogues that should not appear at all is!

Just as most of the officers were shocked by Lothric's words, Ifa's army began to march towards the kind of small town where Lu Ming and the others were.

The third siege was about to begin, and Lu Ming and the others, the soldiers and officers who were on the side defending the city, couldn't help but take a deep breath, and the bows and arrows, staffs, talismans, and swords in their hands were clenched, preparing for a death battle with the elves.

As the elven army slowly approached, Miral and Henes began to manipulate the puppet soldiers to jump off the city wall, Lu Ming and the officers also released their own Pokemon, and let Bosco Dora, Kodora, and Cocodora use rocks to seal and divide the elven army, and the magicians and priests of Yugsotus also began to vent their magic and miracles on the heads of the elven soldiers.

And Lu Ming and Lothric also pulled out the bows and arrows in their respective hands, shooting arrows that chased souls and demanded their lives.

Unlike the arrows shot by others, Lu Ming and Lo Slick can be said to be headshots with arrows, and none of the arrows missed!

Such terrifying archery skills made many commanders of ordinary armies envious, and also made Edsall, who didn't know how to bow and arrow at all, itch his teeth, because his soldiers were praising Lu Ming and Lothric, and no one came to praise him.

However, even such a crazy attack could not stop the pace of the elven army, and at this moment, they were already planning to attack desperately.

The previous two retreats had already humiliated them, so now they no longer plan to retreat.

The elves are arrogant, so they can't accept two defeats, and now the third time, even if they die, they will take this small city that is stuck in their way to the interior of Erepos!
