Chapter Twenty-Five—Ambush

In the early morning, General Fred Cullen of the Elven Clan, with a large army, searched for the ruins of ancient golems in Tartarus, the principality of the Mirakaisa Kingdom, hoping to obtain a large number of undamaged golems from these places to replenish his troops, and use these golems as siege weapons to use when attacking cities. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

But these days, they only found about a thousand or so golems.

It's a pity that they don't know how to activate these golems, after all, the knowledge about golems is something that only the elven royal family and priests know, and it is impossible for them, the military elves, to know this knowledge.

So these golems became a drag, slowing down the overall march of their army, and putting the whole army into a state of high tension, constantly worrying that Tartarus's army would suddenly jump out and surprise them.

In such a state of high tension, always on the verge of a roar, they finally found another ancient ruin safe and sound. According to the spies' report, the ruins found again were a large ruins, and there should be at least a few thousand golems inside.

Hearing this, Fude's first thought was to immediately rush over and remove the golem, go directly back to the large army, hand over the golem to the priests and sacrifice to them, and then hand over this damn task to the other elves to do. Anyway, he didn't want to do the damn task anymore.

"Stinky boys, we've found a large ruin. Now we just need to empty the golem inside, and we can go straight back to the army! Knowing that his soldiers were too nervous, Fude yelled at his soldiers without hesitation when he learned that the spies had found a large ruin.

In an instant, after knowing the good news, the elven soldiers, who were originally very nervous, immediately breathed a sigh of relief. They relaxed and let their guard down because they had found the ruins and were able to return to the larger forces quickly, without fear of being attacked by Tartarus' army.

didn't know that directly in front of them, there was a huge surprise!

Seeing that the elven army began to march towards the ruins, the spies who had brought the news to Fude secretly hid in the woods, looked at these elves from a distance, showed a smile that reached his ears, and said, "The general of the elven clan is not very good!" Such a little lie deceived him all over the place. However, since you're looking for the Golem, go and have some fun with the Golem! ”

With that, the spy turned into a dark shadow, blended into the other shadows, and vanished.

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

According to the news brought back by the spies, Fude and other 40,000 elven troops walked in the forest for more than half an hour before finally seeing the ruins in a distance that were taller than the surrounding trees, like tower-like buildings.

As soon as he saw what he thought was a tower, but a solid building, he knew he was in the right place.

The tower-like construction is a lightning guide device built by ancient elves to charge golems, which can absorb the energy of thunder and lightning, channel it to a space directly below it, and let a special device inside inject the energy of thunder and lightning into each golem, filling them with energy.

Although it was said that it was a method thousands of years ago, in some temples or golem-making workshops in the Alpha Empire, you can still see similar things to it, but it is no longer used.

Fude, who had seen something similar in his hometown temple many times, knew that his 40,000 people had found thousands of golems, and he no longer had to worry about the sudden attack of Tartarus's army because of this unfortunate mission.

"Everyone, hurry up, we need to get to the target as fast as possible!" Looking at the remains of a long way to go, Fude turned around and yelled at his soldiers.

Suddenly, the soldiers under his command all picked up their pace and began to trot in the direction of the ruins.

But just when Fude and his soldiers thought that the mission could be completed safely, a rain of arrows suddenly shot out from the number of the two factions, and Fude was caught off guard!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

As the rain of arrows fell, rows of elven soldiers fell, and the rest of the soldiers were instantly thrown into disarray, leaving less than half of the soldiers there to fight back with bows and arrows.

At this time, Fude, who had already reacted, immediately shouted: "All counterattacks! Counterattack! ”

Hearing the commander's commander, the soldiers who were at a loss gradually began to fight back.

But for some reason, the army that attacked them suddenly retreated, as if it were not enough to face their army of 40,000 elves.

At this moment, Fude was already carried away by anger, and he no longer cared whether the other party was luring the enemy deep or something. With his soldiers, who were as angry as he was, he began to chase after the retreating enemy forces, and soon they were about to catch up.

However, suddenly, another arrow suddenly fell from the sky, and it fell on the heads of the soldiers under the command of Fud, and a large number of soldiers fell in an instant.

Seeing this, Fude became even more angry, and asked the remaining soldiers to speed up and continue to pursue these small but tireless Tartarus soldiers.

In constant pursuit, Forde and his soldiers unwittingly entered a circle of wooden walls.

At this moment, Fude's adjutant felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help but catch up with Fude and said to him: "General, let's retreat!" This is a trap for the people of the Principality of Tartarus, we can't be fooled! ”

Upon hearing this, Forde reacted and made the troops stop.

He looked around and saw that some of the trees had been deliberately cut down to make way for them or others, all of which were traps or ambushes.

So he immediately ordered a retreat, lest he go deeper and step into a trap and be severely wounded by Tartarus's army.

But no sooner had he given the order to retreat, and the soldiers of Tartarus had once again hid in the woods and fired a large number of arrows at them!

There was no way, Fude could only forcibly order the soldiers to retreat with shields on their shoulders and brave the rain of arrows. Although this will cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers, it is better than dying here.

Holding their shields, carrying the falling arrows, and listening to the screams of the soldiers who were shot by the arrows from time to time, Fude and the others finally pushed beyond the wooden wall, and were able to rely on the wooden wall to resist the arrows of Tartarus' army.

"Damn Mirakaiza, you'd better not let me find a chance in the future, or I'll kill you all!!" Hiding behind the wooden wall, Fude looked at the army in the distance wearing the standard armor of the army of the Duchy of Tartarus through the gap in the wooden wall, and said viciously.

"General, our soldiers are suppressed by their rain of arrows, and there is no way to fight back at all!" Finding that Tartarus's army was growing in number, Forde's adjutant hurriedly said to him: "We must retreat now!" They are about the same number as us, and we are now on the underdogs! If we don't retreat sooner, we'll be eaten by them! ”

Hearing this, Fude couldn't help but be furious, and said viciously to the adjutant: "No! We must not retreat! Once we retreat, they'll be behind our ass all the time, shooting us with bows and arrows! So the loss of retreat to us is even greater! ”

"But ......"

Seeing that the adjutant was still hesitating, Fude mistakenly thought that he was cowardly, so he suddenly shouted: "No, but! We, the soldiers of the Alpha Empire, are not cowards! We can fight the advantage and the wind, and we can also fight the disadvantage and the headwind!! ”

Hearing this, the adjutant fell silent. However, the soldiers began to heroically fight back the soldiers of the Duchy of Tartarus with bows and arrows, and the magicians in the team began to attack the enemy with magic.

Looking at the appearance of those soldiers desperately fighting back, the adjutant gritted his teeth and said, "I know, general!" I won't let you retreat again! ”

Fude nodded, took out his longbow, and said while shooting at Tartarus's army, "This is the soldier of our Alpha Empire!" Remember, we're not cowards! ”

Without waiting for the adjutant to answer, a burst of sudden roars directly gave Fude a resounding slap in the face!

It was the sound of the horseshoes falling heavily on the ground as the cavalry regiment galloped. And judging from the magnitude of this roar, this cavalry regiment has at least 10,000 people! Moreover, it is all heavy cavalry!

"Damn the Mirakesa!!" As soon as he heard the incomparably loud roar, Forde couldn't help but scold, for he could already hear that the cavalry regiment was coming from their right side!

It was beyond the wooden wall, and it was obvious that these heavy cavalry had been waiting for Fude and them for a long time, and when Fude and they withdrew from the wooden wall, they began to charge this way, crushing their formation, their military spirit, and their will to resist!

Because they were only a force looking for golems, and they were not the main battle army of the elves on the Tartarus front, there were no cavalry among them at all. There is also no way to make special spears for the charge of the heavy cavalry, so that they can form a phalanx to resist the charge of the cavalry.

So the moment the roar sounded, many timid elf soldiers began to flee.

However, they had barely run a hundred meters before they fell into a huge pit, landed on top of the spikes at the bottom of the pit, and were stabbed to death. Only a small number of elven soldiers escaped because they were slow and did not run into the range of the pit.

Looking at the deep pit that would crisscross dozens of trees, Fude was furious. Because he felt that he was being overshadowed, especially when he couldn't find the spy who had brought back the address of the ruins before, even more so!

The infantry could never outrun the cavalry, and this was well known to Fude. Even if the opposing force is heavy cavalry, there will be no difference at all.

And when the retreat road was blocked, there were only two ways left in front of Fude and other elves: surrender and death battle.

Let Forde choose to surrender directly without fighting the enemy at close range, he will never agree.

He was a general, even if he was looked down upon by the other elven generals on the Tartarus front, and was ridiculed as the head of the logistics department, he was also a general. So there's no way he'll do anything to surrender without a fight!

Therefore, this elven army has only one way left to fight to the death with the enemy.

But seriously, none of the soldiers under Forde's command were very useful soldiers, and the spies and so on were replaced by the shadowy ones. They had been lost for days in this forest of Tartarus, they couldn't eat enough, they couldn't sleep well, and they had to worry about the enemy's sneak attack, and they had already been tortured to the point of collapse and camp roaring because of the high level of tension, and now suddenly let them fight the enemy army in such an unfavorable situation, it was almost a gamble.

And Forde is a complete loser in this gamble.

When the elven soldiers saw that the armor on the heavy cavalry that rushed over was the armor of the army of Erebos, and the banner depicted a black dragon with four horns on its head, the so-called will to fight instantly collapsed.

The cavalry of Erebos and the cavalry of Tartarus are completely two different concepts. If it was the cavalry of Tartarus, which was both infantry and cavalry, maybe the soldiers under the command of Fude would still be able to fight, but the cavalry in front of them now was the Erepersian cavalry who were the best at cavalry warfare in the Kingdom of Miracaisa, so there was no possibility of winning at all!

"Damn! Damn it! Damn it!!! Seeing his soldiers either fleeing or being strangled by the cavalry regiment of Erepos, Forde roared in rage.

Suddenly, despite the hindrance of the adjutant and the guards, Fude took his spear and rushed at once, unlike the other Erepersian knights, who knew at a glance that it was the head of this cavalry regiment.

I want to get a little merit that can be done before the humiliation of defeat comes.

However, as soon as he rushed in front of the female knight, before he could stab the spear in his hand, the female knight cut off the spear in his hand with her saber!

At this moment, Fude was stunned.

He looked down at the broken spear in his hand, and then saw a cold light pass by, and his chest was pierced by a long sword with a cold air.

As the female knight pulled the sword out of his chest, as he fell, he saw that the blood that spurted out of his sword was a small red ice crystal, and the temperature of this ice crystal was as cold as the female knight's eyes.

'This ...... Is it the knight of Erepos......' After the last thought flashed, the general of the army who had been thrown out by the elven army in search of the golem and attracted some of the main forces of Tartarus finally ended his life of humiliation.

And after killing this elf, who was not suitable to be a general at all, to lead an army, the female knight shouted to the other elves on the battlefield: "Your general has been killed by me!" Now obediently throw down your weapons and surrender, or his end will be your end! ”

In an instant, most of the elven soldiers obediently threw down their weapons and surrendered to the forces of Erepos and Tartarus. Only a small fraction of the elves put up a stubborn resistance, only to be quickly annihilated by the combined forces of the two principalities.
