Chapter 728: Target Hammondal

The outcome of the war in the forests of Turalone soon shook the continent of Erathia once again.

At the beginning, when the Elven Kingdom and the Erathia Empire coincidentally attacked the Entagri Empire on both sides, the rest of the forces were gloating and waiting to see how the Entagri Empire was in a hurry.

Of course, there are also people who want to wait to see the jokes of the Elven Kingdom or the Erathia Empire, although they do not think that the Entagri Empire is capable of resisting the attacks of the two great powers, but they have not forgotten that the Entagri Empire has an attack method similar to the Doomsday Blade.

They believed that under the predicament of being attacked from both sides, even if the Entagri Empire had many restrictions on the use of this attack method, they would definitely not hesitate to use it, and when the time came, either the Elven Kingdom or one of the Erathia Empire would inevitably have to suffer some hardships.

But the situation turned out to be unexpected by all.

Although at the beginning, the Entagri Empire was defeated in the battle with the Elven Kingdom, and even lost all the newly acquired Ofer region, but soon, everything showed that the defeat of the Entagri army in the Ofer region, except for the battle of Abadon at the beginning, was largely deliberate.

Everything is a conspiracy.

In Baildes, the Entagrean army also stubbornly resisted the attack of the Erathia army, dragged the Erathian army into the quagmire of guerrilla warfare, and caused the Erathian army to suffer heavy losses.

Immediately, the Entagre army united with the Rigner pirates to start a counterattack on the elven kingdom, and used the sea to attack the hinterland of the Turalian forest in one fell swoop.

Then the Entagre army struck a heavy blow on the seven inches of the elven kingdom, and in one fell swoop captured the waterfall city where the elven kingdom controlled the centaur clan, and thus stirred up the situation in the elven kingdom, so that this old power on the continent was torn apart overnight because of this fatal blow, and everyone rebelled and their relatives were separated, and their strength was greatly damaged.

Even while doing all this, the Entagri Army did not use the attack method similar to the Doomsday Blade as some people think, all of this was the actual result of the Entagri Army's real swords and guns, and there was no water at all.

In this way, after the unexpected alliance with the Rigner pirates, the emerging Ntagri Empire not only blocked the two-sided attack of the two powers, but also completely crippled one of them.

This result is not only unacceptable to the Elven Kingdom and the Elassi Empire in question, but also the other three major forces in the continent, the Bracada Mage Kingdom, the Krurod Barbarian Kingdom, and the Necromancers of Deya, are also unacceptable.

This just doesn't make sense.

How could a force that had only been emerging for a few years be able to do this?

The inherent pattern of the mainland, because of the emergence of this emerging power, has begun to be broken little by little.

Because of this, Magnus, the immortal king of the kingdom of the mages of Bracada, stood in front of the fireplace for a long night staring at the fireplace; The new king of the barbarians, the Behemoth Lord Korg, who was leading the barbarian army on a rampage through the territory of Bracada, knocked over the soup bowl in front of him during his meal; And in the underworld of Diya, the leader of the necromancers, Sandru, the Lich King, has also lost his mind for most of the day.

But the matter is not over yet, the war that took place in the elven kingdom is far from over.

Soon, another major event that surprised the major forces happened.

The elves who were in trouble, under the leadership of the elven king Parson, abandoned the castle of Naven, the city of Pilbont, and the forest of Turalion, led by the elite army gathered from all over the country, countless elves who fled from their homes because of riots and anti-elf movements in various places, carrying simple luggage, began to leave the forest where they had lived for many years in an organized manner, and headed towards the direction of the Erimir forest.

At the same time, the elves abandoned their last position in the Hammondale region, White Cliff Pass, and introduced the army of the Erathian Empire from this gateway into the forests of Turalia.

The tide of the battle has changed again, and this change has taken everyone by surprise.

But at this time, the Erathia Empire did not interfere with the actions of the elves, and let the elves go by themselves, although they occupied the entire territory of Hammondale and also attacked the forests of Turalion, but the encounter of the Elven Kingdom made the Elasian army realize that the Entagre army was far more powerful than they imagined, and the Entagrean army was heavily armed on the western border of Overer and in the area of Bairdes Stone Castle, eyeing the Hammondale region, and the Eracian army certainly did not dare to ignore it.

Before ensuring the safety of the Hammondale region, neither the Imperial Regent Kendal, who was far away in the imperial capital of Standwick City, nor Inheim, who commanded the battle on the front line of Hammondal, did not dare to risk investing too many troops in the Tulaone Forest, in case Hammondale was lost, those troops who entered the Tulaone Forest would be alone, and they might be attacked by the Elven Kingdom and the Entagri Empire.

So, of course, they don't want to thwart or pursue the elves' movements.

However, Kendall is obviously not willing to let the Entagrean Empire easily occupy the Tulaone Forest, so as to complete the three-sided siege of the Hammondale region, he does not want to lose Hammondale at all, nor does he want to give up the Tulaone Forest, just as Gru expected, after the elves abandon this forest, the Erathian army should even target the new strong enemy of the Entagre Empire.

Under the orders of the regent Kendall, the Erathian Empire began to massively increase its forces in the Hammondale region.

The Entagre army that attacked the forest of Turalone also did not launch a new military operation against the elves, but let the elves go by themselves like the Erathian army, which is also a matter of no way, Christine is already busy to the point of dizziness just by absorbing the armies of the various tribes who have defected and appeasing the residents of the various tribes who have defected, and he does not dare to leave the waterfall city lightly, the strategic significance of the waterfall city is too great, and after the elven army is assembled, the strength is also amazing, only relying on the strength in his hands, A head-to-head battle is absolutely impossible to win.

Christine was powerless, and on the other hand, Jian Chen also ordered that no interference should be made in the actions of the elves.

Jian Chen didn't want to get entangled with the elves anymore.

His strategic goal in the Elven Kingdom has been basically completed, the elves have been isolated, and it is already a sure thing for a large number of forest races to join the Entagri Empire, these days he has been busy discussing with the envoys sent by the centaurs, forest dwarves and forest dragons and other races about their joining the empire, and there is quite progress, and then, he only needs to try to integrate these forces and let the Entagri Empire gain a firm foothold in the forests of Tulaglione, and it will be considered a great success.

He didn't expect that he could rely on this battle to make the elf kingdom completely extinct, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, the elf kingdom has been in business for many years, and the heritage is profound, and it is far from the point of exhaustion at this time, if the elves are forced to be anxious, let them be determined to fight to the death with the Entagri Empire at this time, even if the Entagri Empire can win, the price paid will definitely not be small, and when the time comes, it will be a lose-lose situation, and others will be cheapened in vain.

Therefore, the elves took the initiative to give up the Tulaone Forest, Chen Jian couldn't ask for it, and he was happy, and he also understood that at this time, the two sides temporarily truce, and the benefits that the Entagri Empire could get would definitely be more than the Elf Kingdom.

The Elven Kingdom may be able to survive for some time because of this, but the Entagri Empire has also been given precious time to digest and absorb everything harvested in the forests of Turalia, and its strength has skyrocketed once again.

Under the rise and fall, the situation will only become more and more favorable to the Entagri Empire, but it will become more and more unfavorable to the Elven Kingdom.

What's more, there are still Rigner pirates in the Eri area, Chen Jian believes that the Rigner pirates will not give up easily this time, the elves retreat to Eri, and the two sides will inevitably have a fight, and Chen Jian has noticed at this time that the pirate princess named Katarina is really a ruthless character, not to mention the shrewdness, intelligence and strategy are the best choice, with her, the elves are only afraid of some hardships.

At that time, no matter who wins or loses, the Elven Kingdom will inevitably lose its strength again, and it will be even weaker, and it will not be too late for the Entagri army to strike again.

This kind of good thing that can reap the benefits of a fisherman, Chen Jian can't ask for it, so he is naturally happy to see it.

So Chen Jian is now shifting his attention to the Hammondale area.

He made up his mind to take advantage of this opportunity to retake Hammondal.

Hammondale has a special meaning for Chen Jian, for this alone, he will have to fight back to Hammondale sooner or later, not to mention that now for the Ntagrei Empire, if it can't recapture Hammondal, it will not be able to connect its hard-earned territory in the Tulaone Forest with Offer and Bairders through the Hammondale region.

After spending so much effort, if it was just to recapture Off, it would be meaningless to the Entagri Empire, and the Turalone Forest was already in the bag in Jian Chen's eyes, and he was not willing to make it an enclave.

Another reason also prompted Jian Chen to make the decision to retake Hammondale.

"Occupying the City of Waterfalls allows us to stir up the situation in the Elven Kingdom, and seizing the forests of Tulaone and retaking Hammondale can allow us to stir up the situation on the entire continent As long as we succeed, in the near future, our strength will increase several times or even dozens of times."

In a letter to Molly, Jian Chen wrote.

The addition of a large number of forest races and the defeat of the elven kingdom have given the Entagri Empire an unprecedented momentum on the mainland, so Chen Jian intends to take advantage of the situation.

He wants all the races on the continent that yearn for the concept of racial equality to gather under the banner of the Entagri Empire, and then, the Entagri Empire will grow as quickly as possible in the shortest possible time.

But Chen Jian also knows very well that with his current strength, if he is dragged into a situation of multi-front combat, what kind of bad results will be.

If Hammondale is not captured, the forests of Turalone will become an enclave, and Ofer and Bairders will also face a serious threat from the Erathian army.

In addition, the elven army that retreated to Eli did not know when it would counterattack, so if the Entagri army wanted to hold on to the existing gains, it must deploy defenses against the three forces of the Erathia Empire, the Elven Kingdom and the necromancer of Dea in the west, southwest and south of the Turalone Forest, the west of Ofer, and the northwest and southwest of Bairdes.

Coupled with the defense of Negan and the Evermont Islands, as well as dealing with the possible war in the southwest of the Tetaria Marsh, Chen Jian does not have so many troops available for the time being, he needs time to integrate the forces on his hands, and the expansion of the Entagri Empire this time is a last resort, whether it is Chen Jian or the Entagri Empire, they are not yet fully prepared.

If Hammondale were captured, the Entagrean army would be able to abandon its defenses in the three directions west of Overh, south of the Turalian Forest, and northwest of Bairdes, thus concentrating their forces and making a better distribution of limited forces to create a more effective border defense.

Therefore, Hammondal, for the current Ntagari Empire, must be occupied.

However, Jian Chen did not dare to take it lightly.

He didn't dare to underestimate the determination of the Erathian army to occupy the Hammondale region, for the sake of Hammondal, the Erathian army had already fought with the elven kingdom in the local area, and now that it was finally successful, it was not so easy for them to give up again.

Moreover, Hammondale is no better than Bairdes, and the Entagrean army cannot use guerrilla tactics to contain the enemy like it did in the southwest of Bairds, and once it falls into a protracted war, for the Entagrean Empire, there will only be two results.

The first is to abandon Hammondale after the defeat, and the second is to keep throwing in more troops until the Erathian army is completely defeated.

Chen Jian didn't want to lose again in Hammondale, for Hammondal, he didn't fight, if he wanted to fight, he must succeed.

He didn't want to let the Ntagrean Empire fall into the quagmire of war because of the war in Hammondal, this kind of war of attrition on the frontal battlefield could only make the Erathia Empire and the Entagre Empire lose both, although the victory was still defeated.

Therefore, for this battle, in addition to mobilizing more troops from Negan again, Jian Chen also prepared the dragon king's divine power, and also transferred the minotaur magician Barty over.

If you want to deal the biggest blow to your enemies with the fastest speed and the least damage, there's nothing more effective than with this knockoff version of the Doomsday Blade combo.

At the same time, Chen Jian also decided to use a completely new mode of warfare that had never been seen before in the history of war on the continent of Erathia.

He focused the war that would bring him to Hammondale once again on the aerial battlefield.

Chen Jian, who is from Earth, attaches more importance to the air battlefield than anyone in this world, because he knows very well what air supremacy means in a war.

In Chen Jian's view, if you want to fight people in a war without being beaten, there is no better way than to seize air supremacy.

With air supremacy, it is possible to use bombing as an attack method from the air to launch powerful strikes against the enemy's ground forces at will.

Although there is no hot weapon in this world of swords and magic, the air raid and bombing tactics are equally powerful, not to mention the destructive power of high-level magic, and thanks to the amazing number of flying weapons in this world, simple stones are thrown at high altitude, and they also have amazing destructive power - the lethality of the stones is of course not as good as the bombs on the earth, but the quality is not good, and the quantity makes up for this shortcoming, when tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of stones are thrown from the air by dense flying troops, forming a rain of stones falling from the sky, Those who have never experienced it can never imagine what a terrible situation it must be.

It's a simple, effective, and deterrent tactic.

"As long as we occupy the skies of Hammondal, Harmondale will be ours"

A military meeting was held under Baildes, and Chen Jian set the strategic goal of the war in such a categorical manner.

"Our goal is to annihilate the enemy's flying forces, whether they are griffons or angels who still support the Erathian Empire, and mercilessly destroy the sky I want Hammondal, and become the sky of the Entagre Army's flying troops."

A large number of flying troops were transferred from all over Negan to Offer and Baildus, and Chen Jian also issued a mobilization order to all the flying races in the Ntagri Empire, especially the Negan Dragons, Angel Clans and Kerrigan Clan, which are powerful flying races, and voluntarily, he recruited more flying races to join the Entagri army, in order to further expand the air superiority of the Entagri army.

Then, two-thirds of the winter of that year had passed, Chen Jianli, who had a special affection for the Hammondale area, defied public opinion, and with the respect of the emperor, he personally commanded the two armies, and set off from Bailders and Overer at the same time to attack Hammondal, realizing his first real imperial expedition since the beginning of the war.

The actions of the Entagrean Army have undoubtedly attracted the attention of the major forces again, and even more nervous the Erathia Army in the Hammondale area.

However, the Erathian army did not show weakness, and they had already prepared for the advance of the Entagre army, laying a number of defensive lines, deep ditches and high fortifications, and were ready for battle.

A devastating war that would later completely change the pattern of warfare on the continent of Erathia has finally begun.
