readx;

At midnight that night, after the forest guard magic was reactivated, Berego commanded the elf army and thousands of tree people to act at the same time, this time the elves dispatched a total of 30,000 cavalry, 50,000 infantry, plus this military operation to go deep into the territory of the human race, logistics support troops are also indispensable, and hundreds of Pegasus knights are acting simultaneously, with a total strength of more than 100,000, reaching the highest in three hundred years. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info In order to take revenge, Cronis is also considered to have made a bloody investment, and he must teach the humans who invaded the elven forest a painful lesson, but it is the Holy See who offends the elves, but this pot has to be carried by Higg, and it is inevitable that there is a suspicion of picking soft persimmons.

In the army of 100,000, the infantry and the tree people acted at the same time to carry out a frontal attack, and the 20,000 cavalry soldiers quietly found the elven forest along the north and south sides in two ways to assemble, and after the battle began, outflanked the rear of the Hig military camp, and tried to completely annihilate the Hig army.

After the attack was launched, the Hig people who were camped in the felling area were the first to be alarmed, and the people who did not understand what was going on were frightened by the powerful tree men, and they fled to the rear in a hurry, and the elven infantry commanded by Berego followed closely behind the people who were desperately fleeing, and the infantry on both sides used bows and arrows to control the direction of the people's escape, and anyone who was not in the direction of the need would be immediately shot to death by bows and arrows, so tens of thousands of people were driven like a flood that burst the embankment and rushed towards the direction of the Hig camp.

Neither Camp nor Stephen had such a keen sense as Gutsian, and when the Tree People moved, they were completely unaware, and even the lookout post in the Higg Barracks had relaxed their vigilance because there had been no hostile situation for a long time, and all the people on duty at night were lazy to sleep, and when they were woken up by the screams of the fleeing people, they looked around in a daze, not knowing that the enemy had been killed in front of them.

General Camp has been living a very comfortable life since he succeeded Geraint as the commander of the army to conquer the Elven Forest, and the war has been almost never fought since the beginning of the war, and only the overseers and the people who cut down the trees every day are needed, and soon there is no need to even supervise the cutting of trees, because the value of the plants in the Elven Forest soon attracted the merchants to rush to buy, and got the gold coins exchanged for trees and vines, and the people's enthusiasm for cutting trees is unprecedentedly high, and now even if General Camp wants them to stop. Seeing that the trees of great value were cut down, General Camp was greedy and immediately issued an order that all the trees cut down by the people must pay 50% of the tax to the state when they are traded, although the people are reluctant, but they have no choice in the face of the heavily armed army, otherwise they will be expelled immediately and replaced by another group of people who are willing to pay taxes.

Of course, this tax is nominally handed over to the state, but in fact, half of it was taken by General Camp himself, and the rest was distributed to others, and the Holy See overseers led by Stephen must take care of it, and the generals under him must have a share, and even the military bigwigs who are far away in Triumph City must also keep a copy, otherwise this matter will be passed back in the future, and it is not only a big crime to collect taxes privately, but also the Imperial Finance Department will look for him to recover this part of the tax.

General Kemp's status as a commander not only made him a windfall, but also lived a comfortable life, even very comfortable, this state is not like a war, more like an outing, and in the process of the outing, he also found a gold mine, so that he can make gold every day, is there anything better in the world? At least as a soldier galloping on the battlefield, this kind of opportunity is too rare, and Camp really can't understand why his predecessor General Gerante would give up such a fat errand, maybe just because the Holy See trusts him more, so General Camp is now even more grateful to the Holy See, because without the Holy See driving out General Geraint, he would not have been able to gain fame and fortune as he is now.

In this state, General Camp spent his most comfortable military life at the edge of the Elven Forest, due to the delay in seeing the counterattack of the Elves, the entire legion from top to bottom, even including the Holy See's War Supervision Group thought that the Elves had given up, so the defense of the entire army became very lax, especially General Kemp, he has been too comfortable recently, with the Holy See's War Supervision Group staring, he as the commander-in-chief and can not leave his post without permission, he can only send his henchmen to nearby towns to buy a few female slaves with money to come back to have fun in the camp tent to pass the boring time。

Therefore, when the alarm of the enemy attack sounded, the sleeping camp was still entangled with the slave girl next to him. Hearing the alarm, Camp suddenly woke up from his dream, at first he thought he was dreaming and hallucinating, until he confirmed that it was indeed the alarm sent by the sentry, he hurriedly broke free from the entangled slave girl, put on his clothes and cloak and walked out, by this time there was a mess outside the tent.

Could it be that the elves have attacked?

When Camp came outside the tent, the whistle on the sentry became more urgent, and it was clear that the enemy had rushed closer.

General Camp hurriedly asked the signal corps to order the generals of each battalion to prepare to meet the enemy, but most of the generals slept soundly in the camp tent like him, and when they reacted and began to organize soldiers to line up, the front of the barracks had begun to be chaotic, and the people had rushed into the virtual barracks, and the elven cavalry on both sides of the barracks had also been killed, and they used special rockets to light all the tents they saw all the way over, and the night sky suddenly became thick with smoke, and the entire barracks were shrouded in smoke, and the soldiers' vision was severely restricted, and it was already difficult to distinguish between the enemy and me a dozen steps away in the night, and everyone was scurrying around in the barracks like headless flies, but could not find their own organization, for a time everywhere there were shouts and screams, everywhere there was the sound of horses' hooves, the sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air, everywhere seemed to be an enemy rushing over, and soon the chaos spread to the entire Hig military camp, the officers and soldiers could only flee by feeling, many people even rushed in the direction of the elven forest in the opposite direction, and were immediately shot down by the oncoming elven infantry with bows and arrows.

General Kemp, who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, could not form a decent array to defend the enemy in front of him, except for his personal soldiers.

Don't resist uselessly, or you won't have a chance to spend all the gold you earned.

General Camp gave an order, under the protection of his own soldiers, turned around and ran, but as soon as they ran from the center of the camp to the outermost edge of the camp, the cavalry outflanked by the elves had already caught up, and a volley of arrows, the pro-soldiers who rushed in front suddenly fell.

When General Camp was in despair, a cavalry force broke through the camp of the elves and killed him from the flank, and it was the Templar Stephen who arrived with reinforcements of his Overseer of more than 2,000 men, Stephen rescued the panicked General Camp, and then a group of people fled all the way west in confusion, until dawn, when they were sleepy and tired, and then stopped to rest for a while.
