Chapter 200: Weak Resistance

Illidan's hindrance was unexpected, but it was also reasonable. The Duchy of West also has a total of twelve cities, and before Illidan took eleven cities in the Duchy of West, leaving only the capital of the Duchy, Hartlep.

Outside of Hartlep, the night elf team led by Illidan was halted in their treabling. Due to the lack of numbers to completely block the news, after breaching several cities, the invasion of the Night Elves, or the Amazon as a cover, has been known to all the small human nations around it.

Naturally, the people in power in the various cities of the Duchy of West were no exception, and they all learned the news. After the rulers realized that the sudden appearance of the alien army was not something they could resist, Illidan had not met with any decent resistance to the other cities he had conquered after taking the three cities.

This is not to say that those in power in those cities have surrendered to the Night Elves in a timely manner, but that they have all made a "strategic shift". As for the destination, it is the largest and most well-defended city in the Duchy of West, Hartlep.

At this time, outside of the city of Hartlep, eighty percent of the military strength of the Duchy of West was concentrated. The four legions of the Duchy of West, as well as the garrisons of each city except for the four cities of Meier, were concentrated here.

Although it is only a principality, this Archduke of West is a grand duke with great ambitions. Since taking office more than a decade ago, the seventh Grand Duke of the Duchy of West has worked hard to build up the army, and is a typical hawk.

Because of this, the military strength of the Duchy of West is second to none among the small human nations in the vicinity. With the four legions and the garrisons of each city, the Duchy of West has a standing army of nearly 20,000. This is a staggering number for a principality with a population of just over a million.

In the feudal society under the productive forces, the ratio of the standing army to the civilian population reached 1:50, which is indeed a relatively high ratio. As a result, Illidan is now faced with more than 15,000 human soldiers.

It's time to perform the real tricks! Wrong! It's time to show your real strength! Although only led a thousand or so troops. But Illidan did not pay any attention to the fifteen thousand soldiers gathered by the power of the Duchy of West.

But the rulers of the Duchy of West apparently did not think so. Outside the city of Hartlep, fifteen thousand human soldiers had surrounded the team led by Illidan, and the swords and arrows that flashed with cold light were already aimed at the Night Elves, who were quite few in number compared to the human army.

Illidan was also careless—or not careless—and plunged headlong into the encirclement of the human army. He didn't expect these humans to give up the advantage of defending the city and dare to engage in a field battle with the Night Elves outside the city. Do they think that numerical suppression can make up for the gap in strength?

Actually, Illidan is thinking crookedly. Although the Night Elves have been marching hard along the way, the current Grand Duke of the Duchy of West is himself a man who is more inclined towards centralization. After more than ten years of operation. The nobility of the cities in the Duchy of West was greatly weakened.

Therefore, in the eyes of Grand Duke West, the troops of the Night Elves are only bullying the city guards of various cities in the principality, and the strength is too weak, but in fact, they are not very strong. And in the face of this "not very strong" invader, the current Archduke West, who has always been strong, will naturally not make a "cowardly" move to defend the city.

And now Archduke West is complacent. In the view of the Grand Duke, who has been practicing a militaristic policy since he came to power more than a decade ago. These intruders, who were not very strong, were obviously unable to turn up any storm after being surrounded by more than ten times the number of troops under their command.

The Grand Duke, who was very confident in his strength, had already begun to calculate in his heart how to seize more power in this incident. Perhaps, in the name of expelling aliens, some territory can be seized in other small countries around it?

Caught in a dream of a better future, the Grand Duke of West did not notice that the alien race was fenced off. A well-built Night Elf was already staring at him with a cold gaze

This Night Elf is none other than Avril who accompanied Illidan in his expedition to the Duchy of West. Avril had always been by Tyrande's side, but the Night Elves now left a Hippogriff Knight as an Overseer for every city they occupied. The Duchy of West is one of the two strongest of the surrounding small nations, and after taking it, it naturally needs a higher-ranking Overseer.

Avril was in the team led by Illidan to exist as an Overseer after the Duchy of West was captured. But that's not to say that Avril doesn't participate in the battle, in the few battles she has had, almost every time Avril has lost the opposite leader with her superior archery skills before the battle starts.

And this time, embracing the gorgeously dressed Archduke West naturally became Avril's target. Concentrating, Avril slowly pulled the longbow in her hand

"Whew! —" An arrow that shimmered with a deep cyan light seemed to cross the distance of time and space in the stunned gazes of countless people. Fiercely submerged into the body of the Grand Duke West, who shone like the sun in the crowd.

Then, the arrow, which even the legendary early swordsmen around the Archduke West, failed to react to, did not bring a trace of blood to the Archduke West, but

"Bang!!" Archduke West's entire body burst open, exploding into a cloud of blood mist. Being in a high position, the flesh of the Archduke of West. The body is naturally not very strong. So under Avril's powerful arrows, she could only die in this horrific way.

Tut-tut, Avril is too violent, killing people is so unaesthetic. Shoot people directly into slag. Yu Fei's huge mental power made him see clearly the stunned, unwilling and other emotions revealed in the eyes of the Grand Duke West before he died. This made him sigh a little, it was really the emperor's hegemony that turned his head away. It's not a hero's back—I don't know how many such unrewarded human emperors will die at his hands in the future.

At this time, while the human soldiers were shocked by the sudden death of Archduke West, Illidan led his troops to launch a counter-charge against the human army that surrounded them.
