135. Snatching

The Scarlet Guards, with two detachments and one elite guard.

Considering the symbolic meaning, the elite guards are naturally not suitable for dispatching, so the first detachment is responsible for the escort of the Life Crystal Nucleus and the Blood Elf diplomats this time.

In terms of overall strength, there is not too much difference between the first team and the second team, but the tactical styles of the two teams are different.

But at this time, the people of the first detachment of the Scarlet Guards were already very clear, they had obviously fallen into a trap, and the entire team of more than 400 people, at this time, there were only more than 200 people left, and a small number of them were more unlucky, affected by the aftermath of the two strong raids, and they were more or less injured.

The first detachment had lost two centurions in just a few minutes, and both the assistant and the commander had been delayed by the strong, which made the last remaining centurion feel a pang of anxiety.

The team is speeding through the Forest of Knowledge, and they must reach the territory of the Cassedon clan as quickly as possible.

It's not just that they've been attacked and they've lost a lot of manpower, but more importantly, they're protecting what they're protecting: the Life Crystal Nucleus.

Although the highest authority of the blood elves is the Blood Elf Elder Council, unlike the dark elves, there are three major factions and hundreds of ethnic groups, but the entire inventory of the blood elves only has two life crystal nuclei. This time, in order to win over the Kasetton clan in the eleventh clan councilor, which is also the highest authority of the Eternal Night Party, the blood elves can be said to have made a bloody investment, and directly took out the precious life crystal nucleus.

And now, suddenly encountering an ambush and attack, no matter how stupid these blood elves are, they know that the enemy's target is definitely the life crystal nucleus.

Therefore, during the next rapid passage, the centurion directly ordered the blood elves in charge of the diplomatic envoys to abandon the carriage and rush at full speed.

Although these diplomatic envoys can't compare with the Scarlet Guard soldiers as elite soldiers, the innate abilities of the Blood Elves themselves are there, so their personal strength and quality are not too bad, but they can barely keep up with the rapid marching speed of these elite soldiers. Even if you really can't keep up, a little support from other soldiers can solve the problem, at least it won't affect the speed too much.

However, after the convoy had moved forward for a distance of several thousand meters, the centurion who had rushed to the front suddenly raised his right hand.

In an instant, the entire fast-moving Scarlet Guard immediately stopped.

Movement is as consistent!

Just looking at this, we can see that the combat quality of this Scarlet Guard is extremely high.

But alas, they fell into the trap set by Rhoti Kabas and Sean from the very beginning.

The most taboo thing about rapid marching is the sudden stop after a rapid march, which will make all soldiers on rapid march due to the sudden change in breathing rate and increase the physical exertion. Under normal circumstances, after a certain degree of rapid marching, especially after a short sprint, the sprint speed will be gradually reduced, breathing adjustment and endurance recovery training will be carried out, and then a rapid sprint run will be followed by a rest time for jogging and recuperation.

But now, the short sprint has just begun, and it is forced to stop, which is completely conceivable how much endurance consumption this will have for the blood elves.

If he had a choice, this centurion would certainly not make such a self-deprecating move.

However, he had no choice.

A full two hundred dark elves had already set up a battle formation in front of them, and they were completely in a posture of waiting for work.

The equipment of these dark elves may not be as elite as that of the blood elves, but as the most elite troops of the reform faction, the quality of the equipment is naturally not much worse. In addition, the dark elves have long been ready to wait here for the slightly tired Scarlet Guards, except for the high-level combat power at the top is slightly inferior to the Scarlet Guards, the overall combat power is definitely much stronger than the current Scarlet Guards.

The centurion of the blood elves glanced at the enemy, his face was gloomy and terrifying, but he did not flinch in the slightest.

He had already seen that the strong man of the enemy army, who should be the commander, was a strong man of the earl rank like himself, and it was not easy to say who was stronger and who was weak than each other before the confrontation. But these two hundred or so Dark Elf soldiers can't be compared to his Scarlet Elite in terms of strength: like the Scarlet Guard, there are at least nearly twenty Viscount Rank Squad Captains and nearly two hundred Baron-rank soldiers.

However, the strength of the soldiers on the side of the Reform Party is generally only lords, and the number of barons is not large, and the number of viscounts is even less.

The Dark Elves also seemed to know the strength of the Scarlet Guards, so they didn't rush to attack after they set up their formation, but they were also ready for battle, just waiting for their commander to give orders.

According to Sean and Rotikabas's plan, they are the third line of defense here, and the most critical line of defense, and their purpose is naturally not to fight to the death with the Scarlet Guards, but to cause enough chaos and destruction to the Scarlet Guards as much as possible. As for the level of destruction and chaos, this point is up to the commander of the elite force of the Dark Elves to be present and judge.

As the Scarlet Guards had guessed, the real purpose of Sean and Rottikabas and the others was the Life Crystal Nucleus escorted by this force.

The Dark Elf Commander stared at the Scarlet Guard in front of him with an awe-inspiring gaze, his right hand held high, ready for a complete battle. But his hand didn't fall for a long time, and it was obvious that he was also waiting, waiting for the Scarlet Guard to show a flaw - he didn't want any fatal flaws, but at least he had to achieve good enough results in the first round of attacks.

The blood elves are powerful, and as dark elves who also live in the underground world, they naturally will not be unaware, so in this short distance of hundreds of meters, even the dark elves only have two opportunities to shoot. This is still because the blood elves were in a state of rapid march before, so they were not ready for battle, otherwise, in this distance of hundreds of meters, the dark elves would only have one chance to attack at most, and then the two sides would enter a combat state of arrow shooting.

Perhaps, in the competition of archery in the forest, the dark elves are definitely the dominant side.

But in reality, it also depends on the opponent.

Like the blood elves in front of him, even the dark elves who can obtain natural protection in the forest dare not say that they can suppress the blood elves one hundred percent. After all, the innate abilities of the blood elves are terrifying, and this is not a joke.

The confrontation was not long, and although the atmosphere was extraordinarily solemn, it was actually very unfavorable for the Dark Elves.

The reason is simple, the longer it drags on, the longer the blood elves will have to rest.

So after ten or so seconds, the commander from the dark elves finally waved his hand violently.

"Whoosh-"

Sharp arrows suddenly flew out from the dark elves' phalanx.

"Avoid!"

The moment he saw the dark elves attack, the commander of the blood elves immediately shouted in a deep voice, and at the same time, he did not hesitate to draw his saber and delicately swiped away the arrows that were fired at him. But the situation of the attack in front of him was completely different from the situation imagined by the Blood Elf commander, he thought that he would be the target of the target, after all, his strength was the strongest, but as a result, there were very few arrows fired at him, and even if they were these arrows, it was only because the position he was standing on happened to be on the attack path of these arrows.

As soon as he thought of this, he immediately realized the enemy's fighting intentions.

But before he could give him a new detailed battle order, the commander from the Dark Elves' side had already rushed into the enemy line and attacked him. In the end, he could only open his mouth and shout: "Protect the messenger and break out!" Can't be pinned down here! All are free to fight back! ”

The next moment, the collision of swords and swords suddenly exploded.

The confrontation between the two earl-level powerhouses may not be as good as the battles of Rottikabas and Sean, but for the blood elves who are only barons and viscounts, it is still a strong confrontation that they can't imagine. If they are not careful, they will be affected by the aftermath of the battle, and this level of damage may not directly kill them, but it will also cause some damage to them.

As a result, the Blood Elves also had to start scattering and dodging, and then seek opportunities to fight back in the gaps of dodging and hiding.

This is also the reason why this dark elf commander is willing to risk rushing into the camp of the blood elves to fight the centurion of the opposing side.

This kind of battle of the strong is all about whichever side takes the initiative to attack first, which side will have a geographical advantage -- not to take advantage of the terrain, but to avoid causing additional burdens to one's own subordinates as much as possible.

For a while, in this area, the arrows of the blood elves and the dark elves were constantly intertwined with each other.

Each arrow carries a strong sound of breaking through the air.

The whistling sound was as fierce as a thunderbolt.

And not only was the whistling of the arrows fierce enough, but the power was also terrifying: not to mention that they were almost completely submerged in the trees, and even the stubborn rocks on the ground were enough to shoot half of the body. In this case, if the hiding cover is not thick enough, it will still be shot on the spot by arrows that pass through the object.

Of course, the side of death is not only the blood elves, but the dark elves also lost a lot of personnel in the fire of this arrow.

Unlike the Dark Elves, they can sense the direction of the air flow in the forest, allowing their arrows to become more powerful and swift. The talent of the blood elves in archery skills is also extremely terrifying, they don't even need to aim at all, just by feeling to shoot arrows with a bow, they can already be on par with the dark elves who are in the advantage of the forest, it is conceivable that if they go out of the forest area, the dark elves will inevitably be completely suppressed in archery shooting.

The battle, after several rounds of arrows, soon ushered in the climax of another wave of fierce battles.

The blood elves were unwilling to be suppressed by the arrows of the dark elves, and some of the blood elves quickly broke away from the hidden point and quickly touched the phalanx of the dark elves from the left and right sides by taking advantage of the gap created by the round of reflex suppression by their companions. For the blood elves, archery shooting is not everything to them, they are also good at swordsmanship, magic and other fields, but the blood guards do not have magicians enlisted, so at this time there is no burst of magic battle brilliance.

But once these blood elves are allowed to touch the side of the dark elf phalanx, the fate of these dark elves is definitely conceivable.

Therefore, it was naturally impossible for the dark elves to let these blood elves rush into their own formation, and they finally began to tilt their firepower to both sides, so that the blood elf archers who were suppressed by the arrows in front of them naturally got time to breathe, and their reflexes became more fierce and fast. In this way, on the contrary, the dark elf side quickly fell into the disadvantage, not only could not even suppress the blood elf shooters in front, but even could not restrain the forward speed of the blood elves on both sides.

But just when the blood elf saw that it was about to completely harvest the fruits of victory, a terrible scream suddenly sounded from behind the blood elf.

The Blood Elf Commander looked back, and his face instantly became extremely shocked.

A Bloodclan was pulling a box from the screaming Blood Elf, and then quickly turned away without looking back. And beside this blood elf, who had died tragically under the sword of the Blood Clan, was the corpse of more than a dozen blood elf guards, and they all had only one fatal wound on their bodies: it was directly pierced through the vital point of the heart, or a terrible wound was smeared in the throat.

It's just a mere Blood Clan Viscount, but he single-handedly killed more than a dozen Blood Elf guards, thus taking away the most precious treasure of their Blood Elves this time, which makes this Blood Elf Commander not angry.

"Get out of here!" The Blood Elf Commander let out a roar of rage, and the saber in his hand swept away, forcing back the Dark Elf Commander who was fighting him.

And the Dark Elf Commander didn't bother much, he knew the plan and the most important purpose of the battle, and he was more or less surprised to see that the Viscount of the Blood Clan, who was not recognized by their Dark Elves before, killed the target so easily and took away the Life Crystal Nucleus. Especially the blood elves around him who died under Kane's sword, just looking at those fatal wounds, he knew that if he let this blood viscount grow up, he would definitely be a terrible figure in the future.

But at least, at this moment they are allies.

So ignoring the angry Blood Elf Commander, the Dark Elf Commander knew very well that since their battle plan had been successful, even if the other party wanted to hunt down and kill the Blood Clan Viscount now, it would be impossible to catch up. If it were him, there might still be a possibility in this well-versed forest, after all, the geographical advantage and the swiftness of the wind were not a joke, but if it was a blood elf, there would be no such possibility.

After all, the best thing about the Bloods is not their strength, nor their stamina, nor their terrifying recovery ability, but their speed.

Therefore, after being forced to retreat by the other party, the dark elf commander also retreated, and quickly retreated to his own camp, naturally taking advantage of the situation to solve some blood elf guards halfway. You must know that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to weaken the power of the Blood Elves - for the Reform Party, except for the neutral Blood Secret Party, the werewolves who are also members of the Reform Party, and the spider demons who don't care much about the world, any other race and force is their enemy, so as long as there is a chance to weaken the enemy, they will certainly not let it go.

Because of the reason why the Dark Elf Commander withdrew from his own formation, those blood elves who outflanked the Dark Elf phalanx from both sides naturally would not continue to entangle here, especially after seeing the Dark Elf Commander slaughter more than a dozen comrades, they quickly chose to retreat with a tacit understanding. Although in this case, they also need to pay some casualties, but with the cover of their own blood elves' shooting, these casualties will naturally not be too heavy.

Of course, the more important reason is that the dark elves have no interest in continuing to fight at this time, and they quickly tidy up the battlefield, covering the wounded companions and comrades who died in battle, while quickly retreating to the rear, and do not continue to entangle with the blood elves.

And the commander of the blood elves, even if he knew that the blood clan was in a group with these dark elves in front of him, but compared to the life crystal nucleus that was snatched away, he would not continue to fight with those dark elves here, but quickly organized a team, led by him, and then chased Kane.

Of course, the outcome of this fact has long been determined from this moment! (To be continued.) )
