readx;? Could it be that the elves saw that the general trend had gone and fled?

Gutsien was puzzled by the elves' abandonment of resistance, and finally came up with the most unlikely reason in his head. For this reason www.biquge.info he wrote a letter to the Emperor S. Hepburn, reminding him of the possibility of the elves fleeing the whole country, and the Holy See should prepare in advance. Considering the location of the Elven Forest on the continent, if the elves want to escape, it is impossible in the three directions of southwest, north and south, and only the east facing the sea is the only way out.

Des Hepburn, who read Gutesian's letter, pondered for a long time, and he couldn't understand the reason why the elves didn't resist, if the elves chose to be slaughtered by the Holy See, it didn't seem to have reached that point. Therefore, Gutsien's guess still has some truth, and Des Hepburn immediately ordered to strengthen the patrol of the elven sea, not only dispatching a large number of griffin knights, but even mobilizing hundreds of large and small ships to be distributed in the sea near the elven forest, in addition, in order to cooperate with the investigation, Gutsian also specially arranged for the dragon Redduoli to patrol the coastline of the elven forest once a day. If the elves want to raise their tribe to the sea, it will be a large-scale migration operation, and it will definitely not escape the eyes of the Holy See.

But what made Gutesian feel strange was that the intelligence fed back showed that everything was normal in the coastal area of the Elven Forest, and the Elven Clan did not choose to raise the Clan to take refuge in the sea as he guessed, so he himself rode the dragon along the Elven coastline for a circle, and even went deep into the forest along several large rivers from the Elven Forest into the sea, and the scene he saw was the same as the previous reconnaissance intelligence, the Elves did not make any preparations to go to sea, and the Elven inhabitants along the coast still lived a leisurely life, even if they saw the dragon flying over their heads, they did not show any panic, as if there was no war at all。

It was dark in the forest, and the army and the people who heard the horn stopped their work, put away all kinds of logging and transportation tools, and then walked in the direction of the barracks, the people and soldiers were the same as the soldiers, they ate and lived in the camp in the passage, where the kitchen had already risen with curling smoke, and a burst of food wafted over the elven forest, and the people and soldiers who had been tired all day could not help but speed up their pace when they smelled the fragrance。

After dinner, it was almost completely dark, but there was a fire in and out of the passage at the same time.

Although Gutesian is arrogant by nature, he does not take the enemy lightly, especially when the elves give up the counterattack but do not choose to escape, he always feels that the opponent is holding back a big move, so he does not dare to relax in the slightest in terms of defense, and must be foolproof.

Gutesian divided the Knights Templar into two parts, a small part was stationed inside the passage, mainly responsible for supervising the progress of logging, and the soldiers and civilians who did not cut the wood provided protection, and the pioneer officer Duvac was responsible for the unified command, in addition, most of the officers and soldiers of the Templar Order were still stationed outside the passage, if the elven army was dispatched to surround the soldiers and civilians in the passage from three sides, the garrison outside the passage would be responsible for rescuing the trapped soldiers and civilians, and the inner and outer garrisons would attack at the same time to ensure that the trapped passage was opened and all the soldiers and civilians inside were rescued. Moreover, heavy weapons such as trebuchets are now in the hands of the garrisons outside the passage, and they are all equipped and ready to standby, and once the elven army surrounds the soldiers and civilians in the passage, these weapons will deal a heavy blow to the elven army.

At the same time, how to build an easy-to-defend camp in a long and narrow passage to ensure that the camp would not be broken through in a short period of time, Gutesian also took some thought. He ordered the engineers and the people to build a narrow barracks along the central axis of the passage, starting from the felling of the elven forest, as they advanced to the depths of the forest, in order to defend against the long-range attacks of the elves in the woods on both sides, they dug two trenches half a mile away from the forests on both sides, and buried them in the trenches with the felled trees, forming two rows of wooden fences up to about seven paces high, this distance can ensure that those who move in the wooden fence will not be attacked by the elven archers hiding in the forest. In peacetime, both soldiers and civilians eat and live in two fences, including the transportation of felled trees under the protection of wooden fences.

The camp of the Knights Templar is located in the very center, divided into several sections along the passage, the camp of the local defenders and the militia is located in the innermost part of the passage, and is arranged on both sides of the Knights Templar barracks, and the two camps are also separated by a wooden fence, but the structure of this wooden fence is very simple, it is only used to divide the area, and it cannot resist the attack of the army, the original intention of this design is to hope that one day when the elves launch a raid at night, the people and local defenders on the periphery can provide a buffer for the Templar Order inside。

In order to be able to detect the surprise attack of the elven army in time, a tower will be built every thousand steps on the tall wooden fence on both sides, the tower is equipped with a heavy crossbow for air defense, and the sentries on it are monitoring the movement in the direction of the elven forest all day, and the area outside the camp, although the trees have been cut down, but the ground has not been cleared, and only one clear road in the passage is in the barracks, which is designed like this, the Knights Templar are selfish, and they can charge a toll for all the grass and trees transported outside through this passage. At night, bonfires are lit at intervals in the clearing between the wooden fence and the elven forest, illuminating the passageways on both sides, making it impossible for anyone who wants to use the darkness to cross from the forest to the direction of the camp.

It wasn't until all the soldiers and men had withdrawn into the barracks protected by the wooden fence, and the gate of the barracks was closed and locked, that Gutsian let out a long howl, and in the twilight, the huge bat-shaped figure of Redduoli appeared in the sky like a dark cloud, and did not swoop down until it reached the sky above Gutsian's head, and when he was still a dozen steps away from the pile of wood, Gutsian jumped up, stepped on the back of the dragon and flew south, his headquarters was located outside the Elven Forest, and most of the orders were actually issued from there. Gutsian also thought about putting the command headquarters at the front, but in the current situation, there was no war in the front, only the work of supervising logging, but there were a lot of resources that needed to be coordinated in the back, so he simply handed over the command of the forward army to his deputy Duwak.

Duwak was also a Templar and cautious, and he was at ease in command of Gutsien, who only came to inspect the logging at 10 p.m. every day to see the progress of the logging.

Today's situation looked no different from before, so Gutsian returned to the headquarters, had dinner, convened a routine short meeting with his subordinates, emphasized the need to strengthen vigilance, and then returned to his dormitory to cultivate his fighting spirit for a while before lying down and sleeping.
