No one expected that in this epic war, which was hailed by later generations as "a battle of shameless betrayal", when the snowflakes had just fallen, the first to launch a surprise attack would be a coalition of four Northland Elf Kingdom armies.

Yes, it was neither the orcs who raided as the invaders nor the humans who guarded their homeland who broke the deadlock first, but the elves who were eager to take a stand against some existence.

At six o'clock in the morning, the undeclared crossbow arrows and magic sent greetings from the elves, and the human alliance sent the main force to meet the battle, and the Seven Nations Alliance (excluding Donglan, including San Antonio), accumulated more than 500,000 troops, and more than 400,000 troops in battle.

The elves have a total strength of 167,000, which is probably just a garrison of a large city in front of the Super Empire, but its strength is definitely not to be underestimated.

The upper elves are a silver race, and the weakest ones in adulthood have silver-level combat power, and the lower elves are equipped with the special luxury equipment of the elves, and it is not difficult to reach the comprehensive silver level of human beings, coupled with the elves' extremely excellent magic craftsmanship and mage ratio, perhaps the number of these elves is not much, but the strength is definitely not to be underestimated.

"We thought it was an ordinary war drill like the past, but no one expected that those long-eared people would ignore the past and use strategic magic to wash the floor at the beginning, our people were seriously injured, they actually used enchanted heavy crossbows and elven ancient trees, they were playing for real!"

Perhaps, this officer whose subordinates were almost wiped out can explain why he will be defeated so miserably, and the arrogant human is not so much unexpected, but rather underestimated the elf's determination from the beginning.

The elves who have been grudging for many years came with the heart of a decisive battle at the beginning. The elven kings, who are in control, have made their choice. Naturally, he knew that there was no turning back. And the proud Antonio seems to think that this is another stupid border conflict.

When the elves launched a surprise attack, they were actually waiting for the results of the church and political diplomacy, and the war plan made by the general headquarters did not even have a plan for how to deal with the elven attack.

As for the other Northland countries, they thought that since San Antonio came, the sky would naturally fall and there would be a high fixation, but they didn't think much about it. When disaster strikes, the first to be unlucky is often the slowest to run.

As a result, when the two sides clashed, their understanding and attitude towards the war put the human coalition forces that had been attacked at a disadvantage in an all-round way.

The tall ancient war tree slammed into the cavalry wing, and the huge roots could whip several unlucky eggs away at a time, and the human cavalry spears had little effect on this creature, and when the knights put on a trapping tactic against the giants, the behemoth that suddenly took root and turned into a tree covering the sky was even more overwhelming.

The Gryphon Riders are challenged by the Hippogriff Archer, and these formidable aerial ligers finally encounter their natural predators. The elven archer is very good at riding and shooting, and it is not difficult for them to shoot through the gaps in the griffin knight's heavy helmet. On the other hand, even if they have an overall advantage in melee ability, the griffon knights, who have been thoroughly studied by the other side, will have a hard time pulling down the most suitable distance for them in combat, and will often be shot down in constant chase and counter-chase.

And when the battle is at a stalemate, the elves' precise and vicious magical support becomes a hammer to break the balance of the battlefield.

Mages need time and the accumulation of knowledge, and the longevity species has a unique advantage in this regard, in the face of the elves pouring out of the nest, most of the great spells of human mages are suppressed, and the mana of both sides is not at the same level at all.

Human priests and paladins may be the highlight of the melee, but they lack powerful attack spells and are not of great use.

As an elven class of the alliance, I am afraid that humans are the opponents who lack the most combat experience and coping plans, while the elves of the Northland have always regarded humans as imaginary enemies.

And when the first wave of duels reached a stalemate, the second sharp knife of the orcs was still not wielded by themselves.

The troops of the Ansolo Empire, who served as the arrows on the right flank of the military formation, turned their blades directly, and slashed at their allies.

As a Chinese army, San Antonio did not expect that his right wing would suddenly defect, and the assassins who had been prepared broke out at the same time, and were assassinated by his allies in the chaos of the battlefield. Rem was assassinated, and the entire battlefield was at a stalemate.

And when the news of the enemy's death and the assassination of the commander spread, and the alliance of the countries began to waver, the orc army began to move, and when the huge Beth beast entered the field with the shaman beating the war drums, the defeat of the human side was decided.

The orcs, who are good at killing, have taught humans a good lesson, what is it to crush alone, and what is to run wildly with beasts.

Can two human warriors deal with one orc? When the orcs put on the armor protected by the earth element, and are sent into a berserk state by the shaman's war song, an ordinary orc veteran can turn into a war killing device, and a standard squad (12 people) may not be able to kill an elite orc with double attack and defense like this. “

In this battle, with the joint efforts of the three parties, the trap laid by the chaos side finally began to close the line, and the human side suffered a crushing defeat and lost the first battle.

Of the 400,000 troops that came out to face the battle, less than half of the defeated troops returned to Red Maple City alive, and most of them were wounded, and the human alliance army will inevitably shift from strategic offense to defense.

And when Eliza learned the news, she was also surprised.

"A human nation has betrayed the entire Anthropocene? They're not going to mix it up? ”

"In a sense, the Ansolo Empire is quite similar to the Arashi Country in the past, and I guess I've had enough of being wronged. However, the fuse that broke out directly this time should still be the group of bastards in San Antonio who used them as cannon fodder. ”

"Yes, it's too much, I have some sympathy for Ansolo, our small country is weak, this time Ansolo has taken out the coffin book, if he has nothing to say after fighting, but sacrificed as cannon fodder, it will be too much. It's no wonder they've chosen to go to extremes. ”

Sure enough, a strongly-worded declaration of war was soon published.

In the announcement, the Ansolo Empire, as a declaration of war, angrily denounced San Antonio as the leader for using the military forces of other countries as cannon fodder, and targeted San Antonio for the declaration of war, indicating that it had no intention of betraying the order and the mainstream of human society.

Of course, no matter what he says, he will still believe what he should believe, and it is meaningless to say what he should not believe, and actual action is the most straightforward expression.

"That's a good thing to say, so why are there orcs and elves mixed together?"

And with the betrayal of the Ansolo Empire, Red Maple City at this time fell into chaos, cleaning up the remaining power and spies, taking advantage of the chaos to assassinate the hidden assassins, and even the middle and high-level combat power directly attacked and killed important people in the city.

The original lord of the city was also killed in battle, and before a sudden political storm was about to arrive, a chamber of commerce called Schindler stepped forward to become the new leader of the city, mainly made up of locals, with the slogan of 'use your hands to find your old good life'.

They are not soldiers, they are meaningless to the outside army, and they are working in the simple direction of fighting the lawless thugs and keeping the city in order and alive.

Few people know that the Chamber of Commerce, which has a background in the slave trade, is only an organization used to keep civilian orcs alive, and its leader is a foreigner.

"The coalition military headquarters is in chaos, all the official institutions in the city are paralyzed, the functions are stopped, and the funds on the Chamber of Commerce are almost exhausted, this is really untenable, Roland, come back quickly." ——

"Woo woo, it's so pitiful, there are such ruthless parents. Don't worry, Anriya and I will help you, as long as he dares to appear in front of you, Anriya will help kick him away, and the four hooves will kick together. Oh, and one more fulcrum, then barely three. ”

In the forest where the exit of the dungeon is located, around a campfire, girls from three races are chatting happily.

"Aren't you afraid of me? I'm a banshee. ”

Faced with the doubts of the pale white phantom, Anne and Anriya looked at each other, and then both covered their mouths and smiled. "Sister Anne's favorite person is a lich, well, probably not a lich now. But we are not prejudiced against the undead. And my sister seems to be a natural undead, so only extremely special people can be converted, either very kind or resentful, how can I be afraid. ”

"Yes, Your Highness Suanna, why don't you come with us. We are on our way to a kingdom where there is no prejudice against the dead. Perhaps, you can find the answer to the peace you have been seeking all your life. (To be continued......)
