Chapter 711: The biggest flaw

The defeat of the Erathian cavalry made Stewart realize that he had lost his only chance to turn the tide of battle and win.

The completely routed right-wing forces could not be called completely annihilated, but it would take some time to regroup.

The same is true for the cavalry, whose heart bleeds as he watched his treasured heavy cavalry scatter and flee in a rain of enemy magic and arrows.

Although the infantry cluster of the left flank troops was very complete, it was only a little more than 10,000 troops, and his reserve force was only 10,000 troops.

What made it even more difficult for Stewart to accept was that the enemy's strength was still unusually intact after such great results, because they had hardly received a decent counterattack from the Erathian army, and the battle situation was simply one-sided.

And all of this is due to the endless strange methods of the Byantagre Army, which Stewart has never even thought of.

"I'm actually fighting against such a group of guys who don't have the slightest sense of military honor, they are so despicable and shameless that they actually use these indiscriminate methods, but they don't dare to let go of us and fight with us."

After such an unwilling, accusatory, and somewhat self-comforting roar, Stewart gave up the attack, ordered the whole army to move closer to the reserves he had personally led, joined up with the equally defeated flying troops, and began to slowly retreat.

The Entagrean army did not pursue the defeated enemy too much, because although the magicians of the Entagrean army were stronger than the enemy in terms of magic power and spell casting because of the use of magic staffs, but this also caused their magic loss to be comparatively matched, and if they continued to fight, their stamina would be insufficient, and it would also expose this weakness to the enemy prematurely, and have a negative impact on future battles.

What's more, it is not realistic to use the Entagre army, which is the main force of infantry, to pursue the enemy, although the flight unit is good, but considering that the strength of the enemy's flight force has not been greatly damaged, Pete still decided to chase after him for the sake of safety.

Therefore, he only sent part of the flying troops and the wild boar heavy cavalry, which had not been used, to pursue and kill the remnants of the enemy's right flank and cavalry units that had been scattered, but allowed the enemy's main force to leave on its own.

So the battle of Igni ended with the defeat of the Erathian army and the great victory of the Entagre army, which destroyed more than half of the invading enemy at a small cost.

This is definitely quite a dazzling record.

After the news spread, the big 6 shook.

Although the Erathian Empire has been recognized as the sunset, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and its strength is still very feared by all the opposing forces, and although the Erathian army has been inactive during this time, it has not suffered any major defeats.

Even with both Hammondale and Tythalia in the middle of a bitter battle, the Erathian army still dealt a heavy blow to their opponents, and any opponent who fought against them would have to pay the price for inflicting damage on them.

If you want to easily defeat the Erathian army, in the eyes of the major powers, it is impossible to do.

But now, there is a force, an army, that has done just that.

Entagri Empire, Entagri Army.

Once again, the major forces have put a big question mark on how strong this emerging opponent really is.

The defeat of the Entagrean army in the Ofer region once led some to believe that the Entagrean army was nothing more than that.

But in the blink of an eye, this army, which seemed to be vulnerable in front of the Elf King's ** team and retreated one after another, beat the attacking Erathia army to the ground in Baildes, forcing the first wave of the Erathia army to retreat on its own initiative.

It's a pretty puzzling thing.

The major forces began to frantically gather all the information about the battles of Abbaden and the battle of Igni, trying to reposition the strength of the Entagri army.

The Elven Kingdom, which is at war with the Entagre Army, is naturally more concerned about the situation in the battle with Igni.

Because the Elven Kingdom has deeply felt the strength of the Entagri Army.

Putting aside the amazing performance of the Entagri army in the Battle of Abaden, during this period of time, in the several battles between the Elf King's ** team and the Entagri army in various parts of the Ofer, the combat effectiveness displayed by the Entagri army made the Elven Kingdom feel pressure.

Although the elves were greatly excited by the good news coming to Pilbon City one after another, whether it was the elven king Parson who was closely watching the battle of Orbiter, or the half-elf Gru who was commanding the front line, they all knew very well how much water was in those so-called good news.

In fact, including the Battle of Abbaden, the Elven Kingdom did not achieve any decent victories in the Ofer region at all, and in every battle, either the two sides were tied and retreated, or the Entagri army voluntarily gave up the battle and retreated in a planned manner.

"Even if it wins, it is only a miserable victory, and this is still in the case of superior forces, the Entagre army is not easier to deal with than the Erathian army, and due to their lack of understanding of their tactics, at some times, they are even more difficult to deal with than the Erathian army"

In his report to the Elven King Palson, Gru writes.

But even after giving such a high evaluation of the Ntagrean army and the first strong army of the Big 6, Gru still did not think that the Ntagrean army would have a way to defeat the Erathian army in the battle of Igni.

This made Gruyue suspect that there was some ulterior conspiracy for the Entagri Army's anomalous behavior in the Ofer region.

To confirm his suspicions, he asked Parson to keep a close eye on the Entagre's every move in the Negan region, and the half-elf was confident that his opponent had not lost the ability to use the magic portal, and he believed that he would be able to show off the opponent's unwanted feet.

But to the disappointment of the half-elves, although Parson used the intelligence network that the elven kingdom had re-established in the Negan region as he wished, and also showed that Negan's Ntagri army had an unusual build-up operation, there was no sign that the enemy had used the one-way portal again.

Even the build-up of the Ntagrean Army in the Negan area was aimed at the undersea tunnel.

In the Ofer and Bairdes regions, there was also no information on the reinforcement of the Ntagrean army.

The Guardians of the Jungle, which Gru had placed on the southern border of Ofer, had no trace of Tren.

Reluctantly, Gru sent an army to launch a tentative attack on what he believed was the Entagre army of the other Hydro Magic Grandmaster Tren, and there was no sign of Tren joining the war.

Tren, an important figure in the Entagrean Empire's ability to use one-way portals, seems to have mysteriously disappeared after the Battle of Abbaden, Gru can't find him in Over, and he also doesn't exist in Negan and Baildus.

All of these circumstances suggest that the Entagrean Army has indeed lost the ability to use magical portals due to Tren's disappearance.

Later, the actions of the Entagri army in Ofer and Bailders also continued to verify this judgment that made the elven kingdom excited.

First of all, the Ntagrean army on the side of the Ofer side continued its previous operations, and these Entagre troops scattered throughout the Ofer either retreated towards the entrance of the undersea tunnel or gathered on the border of Baildes.

In order to stop the retreating Entagrean army retreating to the border of Bailders and the reinforcements from Baildus, Gru gathered his forces and started a big battle, but this time, the half-elves also failed to make a difference, because the Entagri Empire sent the dragon queen Morriel to personally preside over and command the battle.

The victory of the battle of Igni, the presence of the second queen on the front line, made the morale of the Entagri army like a rainbow, and Moriel's means were indeed good, and in the end, this is the largest battle in the Ofer region since the war between the two sides, with a total of nearly 300,000 troops invested by both sides, and the Entagri army broke through the blockade of the elf king's ** team and ended with a successful rendezvous.

In this battle, the strong combat effectiveness displayed by the Entagri army in the face of the elven kingdom army, which was far superior to its own strength, surprised all the major forces who were concerned about the outcome of this battle again.

And after this battle, the strategic intention of the Entagri army to abandon Ofer and make every effort to ensure that Bairders does not lose is more and more obvious.

In the north of Baildus, the dragon queen Moriel personally pressed the formation, and the Entagri army built a strong defense line, with hundreds of thousands of troops to keep the elven kingdom army out of Bairdus;

In the southwest of Baildes, with the half-elf Pete who had recently emerged in the Battle of Ignes as the main general, the Entagre army, which had bought enough time, began to take advantage of the geographical advantages to drag the resurging Erathian army into guerrilla warfare, and kept attacking the long supply lines of the Erathian army that was too deep into the Bairders area;

To the northwest of Bairdes, centered on the rebuilding stone castle, the Entagre army was also prepared to defend itself against enemy attacks from the direction of Hammondal, under the auspices of the famous general Christine;

And there is also definite intelligence to prove that Chen Jian, the emperor of the Entagre Empire, has left Negan and rushed to Baierdes to take charge of the town using a two-way portal, which seems to be very important to Baierdes.

All of this, while making it strange that the major forces are so attached to the Entagri Empire that they are even willing to abandon the Ofer region for this reason, also make the major forces begin to believe that the Entagri Empire may really lose the ability to use magic portals.

Even if it is not completely lost, it must be due to some reason, and it will not be able to be used for a considerable period of time.

Even the Elf King Parson, who had been worried about the combat effectiveness shown by the Entagri army before, lest he had made an unwise decision, couldn't help but start to be optimistic at this time.

The high-level of the elven kingdom is also permeated with this kind of optimism, and the successful occupation of the Orphean region has made the elves extremely excited, and even the elves who have begun to have some hot brains have proposed to increase the investment of troops in the Orfu region.

"Anyway, the Ntagrean army doesn't dare to take the initiative to fight, we can take this opportunity to flank Hammondale from the direction of Overer and completely drive the Erathian army out of Hammondal."

Only the half-elf Gru still firmly believes that the Entagri army is plotting something.

But even after secretly using the power of Alice and the others, who were staying in Bairders as mercenaries at this time, Gru still couldn't find a single clue about the use of one-way magic portals by the Entagre Army.

At this time, the half-elf was completely immersed in the joy of competing with a powerful opponent.

Aside from a few things that he had to do personally, Gru spent most of his time researching all sorts of information related to the Entagri Empire, trying to find out the truth, and he wanted to crack his opponent's plans.

Then, Gru, the half-elf, finally found some clues.

He had learned something from the surprise attack of the Entagrean army on the coastal areas of the Erathian Empire, and the mass defection of the Angels from the sea.

In these two events that shook the Big 6, the Maritime Legion of the Entagri Empire showed strong transportation capabilities.

Later, Gru noticed that the intervention of the Entagri Empire in the Titaria region may have also been reached from the sea, because the so-called Titaria Liberation Army, which the Entagri Empire supported in the swamps, occupied the southwestern region, it was not easy to reach the situation in the Titalia region at that time.

Therefore, after turning his attention to this aspect, Gru couldn't help but wonder if the strange behavior of the Entagri army in the Ofer region would have something to do with the enemy's sea legion, which they claimed to be the First Fleet of the Empire, and ran rampant on the seas, causing the Erathia Empire and the Bracada Kingdom to suffer a lot.

After all, the Ofer region also has a coastline, and if the Entagri Empire is willing, with their amazing transportation capacity at sea, it will be easy to start fighting on the 6.

But after thinking about it, Gruth still thinks that if the Entagre Army really intends to use the power of sea transportation to achieve a certain goal, its ultimate goal should not be Offer.

The reason is simple, if the Ntagrean Army is targeting Uffer, they should not have behaved like this in the Ofer region.

Moreover, if the goal is to overall, the location of Negan's Ntagari army should also be a port city west of Negan, not the entrance to the undersea tunnel.

Then Gru had an even more suspicious question.

Through the Crescent Strait, by sea, with the strong transportation capabilities demonstrated by the Natagri Empire's Sea Legion, it is not too difficult to transport troops from Negan to the Bailders region.

In this way, the situation of the Entagri Empire in the Baildes region will not be as grim as it is now.

However, the Ntagrei army, who had put on a defensive posture in Baildes, did not do so.

Why is that? Is it because the First Fleet of the Empire couldn't rush back to the Crescent Moon Strait from the southern waters of Big 6 in time?

This is really a bit unreasonable, the Crescent Moon Strait is not so far away from the southern waters of the Great 6, and various previous situations have also shown that the First Fleet of the Entagri Empire has amazing mobility.

In order to clarify this problem, Gru began to use the intelligence system of the Elven Kingdom to track the whereabouts of the First Fleet of the Entagri Empire.

Then he got a report that this fleet is still in the southern waters of the Great 6.

Gru didn't know that in fact, the Entagri army fleet that appeared in the sight of the major forces in the southern waters of the Great 6 at this time was actually not the First Fleet, but the Second Fleet that confused the opponent under the banner of the First Fleet.

Gru didn't know that the real First Fleet, in order to stop his plan at this time, in order to seize the Ice Sword, had already entered the western sea area of the Great 6 for a period of time, and gradually approached the sea area where the Elven Kingdom was located in the Eli region.

But he subconsciously felt that it was very abnormal for the First Fleet of Ntagri to remain in the southern waters of the Big 6 at this time.

If the Entagri Empire really lost the ability to use one-way portals, what reason was there to still be excluded from this war at this time when even Chen Jian, the emperor of the empire, had to personally go out for the war in the two places of Overs and Beddes, as the first fleet that could effectively increase the troops in the Byrds and Overs regions?

In order to contain the forces of the Erathia Empire and the Kingdom of Bracada? But now that the enemy is on the doorstep, what is the point of this kind of reversal of the cart if he can't keep Bairders, who seems to be quite important to the Entagri Empire?

"There's definitely something wrong with this"

In the end, Gru made such a judgment, although there was no solid evidence, but the half-elf was sure that the strange behavior of the Ntagri Empire in the Ofer region must have some inevitable connection with the actions of its Sea Legion.

Because the method used by the First Fleet to have such an astonishing capacity has never been known to outsiders, and the size of the First Fleet is unknown to no one except the Entagri Empire itself.

Therefore, Gru has reason to believe that the enemy's fleet, most likely its main force, has left the southern waters of the Big 6 and is carrying out some covert operations.

He even doubted that the Entagri Empire had a way to use some method to transport troops into this fleet without passing through the port, and then transport them to other places, and the Entagri Empire had many magical technologies, and it didn't seem so impossible to do so, and what if this technology came from the Age of Wonders?

In this way, everything is explained.

After making bold assumptions, Gru finally realized one thing, that is, the weakness of the Entagri army in the Ofer region was probably preparing for an attack on the Elven Kingdom itself, in order to attract the Elven Kingdom to invest more troops in Ofer, so as to create an emptiness within the Elven Kingdom and give them a better opportunity to take advantage of.

The elven kingdom has a fairly long coastline, due to the geography of the big 6 and the location of the elf kingdom, this coastline extends from the western sea of the big 6 to the northern and eastern seas of the big 6, it can be said that except for Negan, an area surrounded by the sea, the coastline owned by the elf kingdom is the longest among the major forces.

This means that the Entagri Empire can use its powerful transportation capacity from this long coastline to attack the elven kingdom itself as it pleases.

But all of this, so far, is just Gru's own speculation, and this guess is based on certain assumptions, so Gru did not report it to Palson.

In fact, even if there was evidence to prove this speculation, Gru did not intend to report it to Palson.

Because in the eyes of the half-elf, if this guess comes true, it is not a bad thing for him, on the contrary, it is another excellent opportunity for him.

An opportunity for him to wield more power in the Elven Kingdom.
