Chapter 361: Guerrilla Warfare?
Although he was one hundred and twenty years old, Marshal Spender was still in the prime of life compared to the lifespan of an epic powerhouse. He was already a famous general on the mainland, and in addition to wanting to protect his country, he also had no intention of taking the opportunity to fight the army of the Night Empire to further his reputation.
The intelligence system of the Holy Lion Empire is still okay, although Illidan divided his forces to attack several cities, but the number of the Night Empire's invading army this time has been clearly explored. No matter how you say it, it has been beaten into the country, and the number of enemies is not clear, how can the Holy Lion Empire still mix on the mainland.
With three times the number of elite troops in his hands and home advantage, Spencer did not mean to despise the Night Elves in the slightest. Before reaching the place where the Night Elf forces were raging, Spender ordered an increase in the number of scouts, and made sure to find out the enemy's traces within fifty kilometers of the troops.
Although it was on his own land, Spencer didn't think that the Night Elves would set up an ambush. Illidan also had the intention of taking advantage of the Divine Lion Empire's counterattack troops to hurry in and gain an unstable foothold to fight an ambush on the enemy's territory and attack them unprepared.
But after the Raptor's Druid forces changed and the Storm Raven found out that the 200,000 human army led by Marshal Spencer was so careful, he gave up the intention of ambushing. After all, it is on the enemy's territory, and it is not good if an ambush cannot be turned into a counter-ambush war.
However, although Spender sent a large number of scouts to search for the traces of the Night Elves, he was never able to find the troops assembled by Illidan. Since the 200,000 elite forbidden army entered the western part of the Holy Lion Empire, the Night Elf forces abandoned the cities they had captured and disappeared into the region.
Of course. Before evacuating these cities. The magic crystals, magic cores, and most of the valuable things of the nobles in the city have been looted by the Night Elves. Yu Fei specially collected a large number of spatial rings this time and handed them to Illidan. It is used to hold the spoils of war.
Marshal Spender led 200,000 elite forbidden troops to almost a full circle in the western part of the Holy Lion Empire, but he failed to find a single trace of the Night Elves. It's as if for an army of 200,000 people, no Night Elves have ever invaded the Empire.
No, it can't be! Sitting in the tent, Marshal Spencer, frowning, pondered what had gone wrong.
The army of the Night Empire must still be somewhere in the western part of the empire, and the fact that the two hundred thousand forbidden troops have not found out does not mean that others have not found out. Always at a great distance from the troops, it has been reported that traces of the Night Elves have been spotted.
However, when the human army arrived there at the speed of a rapid march, the Night Elves were silent. It's like. The Night Elves were able to fully anticipate the path of the 200,000 forbidden troops. The native superiority of the Holy Lion Empire is completely unreflected.
Could it be that there are traitors in the army who are constantly contacting the enemy, revealing the route of the march and searching? It's impossible, even the magic communication will have small fluctuations, and it is impossible for the mage group accompanying the army not to find out.
As for his army being watched by the Night Elves from afar, Spencer briefly had the idea, but then rejected it. He had sent the scouts fifty kilometers away from the troops, and the Night Elves could only detect the location of the troops unless they used magic methods, but then the mages in the army would definitely find out.
After vetoing all possibilities, the mainland star Spencer was also confused. Whether it's the wars he himself has experienced or the cases of war he learned from the history books of the art of war. Nothing like this could be found.
How can anyone fight on their own soil and not find the enemy who invades their own country? Spender was sometimes skeptical. Could this be the territory of the Night Empire? The side with the home advantage was blind, but the invaders avoided their own troops as if they could predict it.
Marshal Spencer's mistake was that he trusted the magician too much. It's not that there are traitors or anything among the magicians, but the Night Elves' detection methods are simply difficult for the average magician in Eslazer to discover.
Not to mention the Storm Ravens scouting in the sky, Illidan rarely lets the Raptor Druids transform into reconnaissance missions. It's not that it doesn't work, but the Night Elves have a better way to do it.
Illidan led 20,000 huntresses, and the lowest 20,000 were elite-level huntrespers. Each huntress can cast an owl spirit that sits on a tree. This owl spirit cannot be destroyed, and it is difficult to detect. Unless the tree is cut down, the owl spirit will always exist, allowing the Night Elves to have a view of the surroundings.
20,000 huntress is 20,000 owl spirits. The 20,000 owl spirits that were able to gain access to a large area of vision around the place of existence were distributed in various places in the western part of the Divine Lion Empire, and the 200,000 forbidden troops led by Marshal Spender were monitored by the owl spirits scattered all over the country.
These owl spirits are not the probing magic of the Eslaze Continent, they are unique skills of the Night Elves, and naturally they will not be discovered by ordinary magicians. As a result, there is a situation in which the troops fighting on the ground are not well informed by the invading side.
Let's talk about Illidan's side. Relying on the detection effect of the owl spirit, the Night Elves were very much in hiding with the Spendur Army. It's not that Illidan is cowardly, it's just that he's a little worried about the enemy's strength.
In a previous battle, the Night Elves had not faced an enemy ten times their own, and they had won easily. This time, they all came to the doorstep of the Holy Lion Empire, but they only sent 200,000 troops to meet them, which made Illidan feel that there must be something wrong with it.
It took three days for Illidan to finally figure out the strength of the Spender Army. And this made Illidan a little annoyed - he was still too careful.
The 200,000 forbidden army should be considered a very strong force in the eyes of mankind, with an average strength of the bronze level, and a large number of military mages and famous generals of the continent under the leadership. This is probably the reason why the Holy Lion Empire is confident that it can resist the Night Elf army, after all, such an army can only be taken out by the three major empires in the entire Anthropocene realm.
However, in front of the Night Elves, this is not enough to see. Average strength for the first time in Bronze? This is the strength of an ordinary level archer and a huntress in the Night Elf clan, and you must know that the War Ancient Tree that has evolved now in the Dao Dao can not train these two ordinary level troops at all.
In other words, the so-called elites of the Holy Lion Empire are actually eliminated in the Night Elf Clan.
Even if he was three times outnumbered, Illidan was confident that he would take down the 200,000 enemies with minimal losses. However, after fully understanding the strength of the Spender Army, Illidan had other ideas
For some time afterward, poor Marshal Spender continued to lead his troops around the vast western part of the empire. Cities and adventurers and caravans on major roads have been reporting sightings of the Night Elves, but the troops have never been able to touch the enemy's tail.
Sometimes, the news of the discovery of the Night Elves even came from several places at the same time, leaving Marshal Spender speechless.
Faced with this situation, he did not dare to divide his troops. According to the intelligence, the army of the Night Empire is known for its individual strength, and if it is divided, it will definitely be broken by each one. It is still more secure for the 200,000 army to gather together, and it can touch the enemy.
After being led by the nose for a long time, Marshal Spencer finally thought of a solution that was not a solution. Anyway, I can only follow the enemy and eat ashes, and my subordinates are tired, so I just have to respond to all changes.
Under the orders of Marshal Spender, the 200,000 elite forbidden troops chose Innova Pass as their station, and no longer looked for traces of the Night Elf troops everywhere.
Marshal Spencer also figured it out, anyway, the purpose of being sent was to delay the time for the empire to gather more troops to wipe out the invading forces of the Night Empire in one fell swoop, wouldn't it be better for the enemy to be willing to play hide and seek like this? Before, it was just Spencer himself who had the intention of making another contribution, but now that he has figured it out, he has survived.
However, what he didn't expect was that his troops were born, and the invading troops of the Night Empire jumped up again.
After Spencer led the army into the western part of the empire, the families in the western cities breathed a sigh of relief, and the supplies that had been looted by the Night Elves were gradually replenished from other places.
Especially the Empire. The army has been plowed three feet into the ground, but the enemy of the Night Empire has not appeared, making everyone think that the enemy is afraid of the troops of the famous general Spencer. In this way, the nobles and merchants of various cities in the west began to restore their belongings and materials with confidence.
Who would have thought that after Spencer's troops were stationed, the Night Elf army would pop up again. The supplies that had just been replenished were looted by Illidan again. Sadly, when the Night Elves left, they left behind countless eyes looking at the fat sheep, as if they were ready to harvest the "wool" again in the future.
Receiving summons from various cities in the west, Spencer was also dumbfounded. The generals of the Night Empire are too obscene, right? Is this the rhythm of guerrilla warfare? I really took the cities in the western part of the empire as fat sheep to rob them!
Helpless, Spencer really can't do anything with the Night Elves' troops. How can you fight if you can't find the enemy? Information asymmetry!
In the end, Spender could only ask the nobles and merchants in the west not to recover their assets for the time being, and dragged the invading forces of the Night Empire west of Inno Pass.
If the forces of the Night Empire want to go deep into the Holy Lion Empire to cause unrest and exert pressure, Innook Pass is the place to go. Spencer believed that with 200,000 forbidden troops stationed here, he could drag the enemy to the west of the empire until more empires. The arrival of the army.
